BUSINESS Background ---------- RAM Venture Holdings Corp. f/k/a Corrections Services, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Florida in 1984. The Company was organized for the purpose of developing and marketing a house arrest program to relieve the need for incarceration in a jail or similar facility. The Company was commercially active in that area until mid- 1998. On August 31, 1998, the Company sold its electronic monitoring business and has had no commercial operations since then. Reverse Merger Acquisition; Major, Material Changes --------------------------------------------------- Early in March, 2004, the Company entered into discussions and negotiations with American Apparel and Accessories, Inc., a privately- held Arkansas corporation (hereinafter referred to as "A3") with a view toward the Company's acquisition of all of the capital stock of A3 in a transaction in which the Company would be the surviving entity with its name subsequently changed to American Apparel and Accessories, Inc. and its management and Board of Directors replaced by the management and Board of Directors of A3. On March 31, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of reorganization with A3 pursuant to which the Company is currently proceeding with the reverse merger and undertaking the following consequent and related activities: a. Effective April 16, 2004, all of the Company's Common Stock shall be reverse-split, one-for-ten. That is to say, ten pre- split shares of the Company's Common Stock will be converted to one post-split share of the Company's Common Stock. b. Upon completion of the reverse merger transaction, the Company's name will be changed to American Apparel and Accessories, Inc. and its management and Board of Directors will resign in sequence and be replaced by the management and Board of Directors of A3, the acquired privately-held corporation. c. Upon closing of the reverse merger transaction, American Apparel and Accessories, Inc., the Arkansas corporation, will terminate, all of its capital stock will be canceled and its assets and liabilities will become the assets and liabilities of the Registrant, the surviving, merged corporation. d. In exchange for the acquisition of A3, the Company will issue an aggregate of 23,500,000 shares of its post-reverse split, restricted Common Stock and Stock Purchase Options to the A3 shareholders in replacement of their canceled A3 Common Stock and unexercised A3 Common Stock Purchase Options. e. With complete issuance of all of the reverse merger stock including stock underlying the Stock Purchase Options, all of the persons acquiring the newly issued Common Stock of the Registrant in the reverse merger transaction will own 94% of the Company. With 1,500,000 post-split shares continuing to be held by the Company's pre-merger shareholders, together they will hold 6% of the issued and outstanding ownership interest in the surviving entity. -3- f. In addition to the A3 capital stock acquisition, the Company will receive cash in the amount of $250,000 paid by A3 as a material aspect of the consideration for the reverse merger transaction. g. Coincident with undertaking and completing the reverse merger transaction, the Company will transfer and convey virtually all of its assets, net of expenses of the reverse merger transaction, and all of its liabilities to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Corrections Systems International, Inc., a privately-held Florida corporation. All of the shares of Corrections Systems International, Inc. now owned by the Company will be distributed to the pre-merger shareholders of the Company on a share-for-share basis as a dividend by the Company. That is, for each pre-merger share of the Company's Common Stock held, the shareholder will receive a share of Corrections Systems International, Inc.'s Common Stock which, upon distribution of all of the capital stock of that corporation, will be a stand-alone, privately-held Florida corporation owned by all of the Company's pre-merger stockholders in proportion with their pre-merger ownership interest in the Company. h. In addition, as a material aspect of the reverse merger transaction, A3 will acquire Common Stock Purchase Options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company's post-split Common Stock from the Company's control shareholders, Ronald A. Martini and Professional Programmers, Inc. The Common Stock Purchase Options are exercisable by A3 during the same two year period during which the surviving entity may not reverse-split its Common Stock and carry an exercise price of $1.50 per post-reverse split share. The Company anticipates that the reverse merger transaction with A3 will be completed on or about April 21, 2004 barring any unforeseen, possibly insurmountable obstacles. In any event, however, the Company has determined to proceed with and complete the one-for-ten reverse split of its Common Stock whether or not the reverse merger acquisition of A3 is completed. Coincident with the transfer of assets and liabilities from the Company to Corrections Systems International, Inc. as set out above, the Company's present officers and directors, Messrs. Norman H. Becker and Frank Bauer and Ms. Diane Martini will be the interim management and Board of Directors of Corrections Systems International, Inc. and will continue incumbent in those positions until an annual meeting of the new stockholders of Corrections Systems International, Inc. can be organized, scheduled and held. Upon completion of the Company's reverse merger acquisition of American Apparel and Accessories, Inc. a Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed and audited financials of the merged corporations and pro-forma financials will be subsequently filed by the Registrant as the surviving corporation. As a material aspect of the definitive reverse merger agreement, the Company may not further reverse-split its Common Stock for a two year period expiring on April 1, 2006. In addition, any subsequent offering of the Company's authorized but previously unissued capital stock must be offered upon the same terms and conditions to all of the pre-merger shareholders of the Company. -4- The Registrant is optimistic that the reverse merger acquisition of American Apparel and Accessories, Inc. by the Company at this time, following its many previous efforts to complete an acquisition or merger for the benefit of shareholders which did not come to fruition, will be beneficial. American Apparel and Accessories, Inc. was formed in 1999 and is engaged by and through prior acquisitions in the outdoor activities industry with proprietary camouflage patterns for which the Company's subsidiary, Natural Gear, holds copyrights on several unique, open-faced patterns which the Company is informed are radically different from the dominant patterns in the camouflage marketplace. A3, by and through Natural Gear, holds U.S. Copyright No. RN VAU 199 985 which protects the proprietary patterns. Natural Gear's presence in the marketplace is currently the number three pattern and is experiencing upward momentum. A3's primary business has been the design and sales of goods with its Natural Gear camouflage patterns. It markets its goods through industry shooting shows and various forms of media, the most effective of which is the Company's ESPN2's Wildlife Quest, a hunting show, the rights to which were acquired by A3 in 2003. A3 furnishes the show's host and guests with Natural Gear products and occupies the opening and closing advertising spots in the program. While sale of its branded camouflage goods was the Company's means of establishing its presence in the marketplace, A3 anticipates that its business model will eventually cause most of its revenues in the camouflage area to be derived from licensees who will compensate Natural Gear with license fees for the right to use the Company's camouflage pattern on their products. To date, A3 has more than 100 such licenses with well known suppliers with wide distribution markets. A3 plans further acquisition of outdoor life entities as its means of growth in the outdoors industry and anticipates that completion of its reverse merger acquisition by the Registrant will enhance and accelerate those plans. Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. ---------------------------- On January 15, 2002, the Registrant secured and exercised an option to purchase 130,000 shares of the restricted Common Stock of Creative Beauty Supply, Inc., a publicly held New Jersey corporation with principal offices in Totowa, New Jersey. Through exercise of its Warrant, the Registrant acquired 130,000 shares of Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. common stock ("CVBS") at $.12 per Share or $15,600 in cash. The Company's Warrant was acquired during earlier discussions with CVBS in contemplation of an exchange of stock so that the Registrant and Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. might obtain a significant position in each other's common stock. On January 30, 2002, following completion of the exchange of stock discussions, the Registrant and Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. entered into an agreement for an exchange of stock pursuant to which the Registrant acquired 500,000 shares of the authorized but previously unissued common stock of Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. in exchange for issuance and conveyance of 2,000,000 shares of the Registrant's authorized but previously unissued Common Stock. Upon completion of the exchange of stock, CVBS had acquired 11.8% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock. For its part, when its CVBS stock acquired through exercise of the option was aggregated with the 500,000 shares acquired under the exchange of stock agreement, the Company, post-closing, had acquired an 18.2% ownership interest in Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. -5- On March 19, 2004, Creative Beauty Supply, Inc. completed a reverse merger with Global Digital Solutions, inc. in which Creative Beauty Supply is the surviving, publicly-held corporation whose name was changed in the transaction to Global Digital solutions, Inc. The Registrant continues to own 560,000 shares of the surviving corporation's Common Stock, or approximately two (2%) percent of its total ownership interest following completion of the reverse merger. Employees --------- Mr. Norman H. Becker and Mr. Frank R. Bauer, are officers of the Company each of whom currently devotes approximately ten (10%) percent of their time to its activities. Ms. Diane Martini, an officer of the Company, currently devotes approximately eighty (80%) percent of her time to its activities. The Company has no other full-time employees See Part III., Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant. Upon completion of the committed reverse merger acquisition of American Apparel and Accessories, Inc., the Company's Officers and Directors will resign their positions in preference to American Apparel and Accessories, Inc.'s officers and directors. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company occupies its principal office space on a month-to-month basis at a rental and administrative charge of $2,600 per month ($31,200 per annum), except for two months of 2003 when an additional $1,600 was paid in the aggregate and one month of 2003 when none was paid. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is not now a party to any litigation or, to its knowledge, threatened litigation. 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 fiscal 2003, through solicitation of proxies or otherwise. -6- PART II ------- ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The following table sets forth the range of bid and asked prices for the Company's Common Stock on the Over-The-Counter Market for the period indicated, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.

(b) Holders. As of March 17, 2004, the approximate number of recordholders of Common Stock of the Registrant was 826. The Company is unable to determine the actual number of beneficial holders of its Common Stock at March 17, 2004 due to Common Stock held for stockholders "in street name", but estimates the current total to be approximately 980. (c) Dividends. The Company has never paid a dividend and does not now anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. See Item 7.(a) Financial Condition. -7- ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (a) Financial Condition. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had ------------------- current assets of $640,124 compared to $642,318 at December 31, 2002, total assets of $900,395 compared to $847,387 at December 31, 2002 and shareholders equity of $897,870 as compared to $847,387 at December 31, 2002. The increase in total assets and shareholders' equity was primarily the result of the increase in fair market value of marketable securities at December 31, 2003. Liquidity. The Company had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents --------- for the year ended December 31, 2003 of $(99,277), and cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year of $43,166 as compared to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $53,189, and cash and cash equivalents of $142,443 for the year ended December 31, 2002. See Part II, Item 8., Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Company continues to have no fixed executory obligations. Capital Resources. The Company has no present material commitments for ----------------- additional capital expenditures. The Company has no outstanding credit lines or commitments in place and no immediate need for additional financial credit. There can be no assurance that it will be able to secure additional credit borrowing, if needed. -8- Results of Operations. The Company's revenues for the fiscal period --------------------- ended December 31, 2003, were derived principally from investment activities. The Company's revenues increased $336,772 to $111,489 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $(225,283) for the same period of 2002. The principal reason for the increase in revenues was an increase in the realized and unrealized gain on marketable securities. Operating expenses decreased $209,966 to $122,130 as compared to $332,096 for the same period last year, principally due to a reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts. The Company realized a net loss of $(10,641) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to a net loss of $(557,379) for the same period last year. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to an increase in realized and unrealized gain on marketable securities and a reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts. The Company knows of no unusual or infrequent events or transactions, nor significant economic changes that have materially affected the amount of its reported income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Work performed by Spicer Jeffries LLP for the Registrant resulted in reviews of Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the interim period from the year ended December 31, 2002 to the date of its withdrawal from the engagement on or about March 22, 2004, which reviews involved unqualified favorable conclusions which were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

The Company's articles of incorporation originally provided for the issuance of 100 shares of common stock, with a par value of $5 per share. On November 13, 1985, the authorized number of shares was increased to 10,000,000 shares, with a par value of $.0001 per share. In that connection, the 100 shares of common stock outstanding prior to that date were exchanged for 2,115,000 shares. On December 29, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to increase its authorized capital stock from 10,000,000 shares of one class of common stock to 25,000,000 of the same one class.

F-7 RAM VENTURE HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. ---------------------- Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method three-to-five year estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with --------- 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 statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial ------------ Accounting Standards Board of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Earnings (Loss) per Share - The Company presents "basic" earnings (loss) ------------------------- per share and, if applicable, "diluted" earnings per share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128"). Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is the same as the basic earnings (loss) per share since the Company has no outstanding options, warrants or convertible debt. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported in the ----------------------------------- balance sheet for cash, marketable securities, notes receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value based on the short term maturity of these instruments.

This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the application of the provisions of SFAS No. 146 to have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." This statement amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions in the accompanying financial statements. In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Most provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
