CURRENT INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY

The following is a description of the current operations of the Company.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

SearchHound.com, Inc. is the result of the June 1, 2000 merger of
Pan International Gaming, Inc. ("Pan International") and Searchound.com 2000
Ltd. This transaction was treated as a "reverse merger" for financial accounting
and reporting purposes. Specifically, SearchHound.com 2000, Ltd. was treated as
the acquirer of Pan International due to the fact that the Stockholders of
Searchound.com 2000, Ltd. Received 70.3% of the total shares outstanding upon
consummation of the merger. Prior to the reverse merger, the Company (PAN
International Gaming) spent considerable effort and specifically during the
period between January 1, 2000 through May 31, 2000 pursuing a reverse merger
transaction with Searchound.com 2000 Ltd., and the acquisition of
SoloSearch.com, Inc. The "reverse merger" with Searchound.com 2000 Ltd. was
consummated on June 1, 2000. In fiscal 2000 and prior to June 1, 2000, Pan
International was not engaged in operating activities and there were no revenues
or business operations. Immediately following the reverse merger with PAN
International Gaming the Company changed its name to SearchHound.com, Inc.
effective June 6, 2000.

SearchHound.com 2000, Ltd. was formed on April 11, 2000 to affect
the purchase of the intellectual property and website assets representing the
Searchound.com backbone architecture. The Stockholders of Searchound.com 2000,
Ltd. completed the purchase of these intangible assets on June 1, 2000 for total
cash consideration of $3,000,000 and simultaneously contributed the assets to
SearchHound.com 2000, Ltd. in exchange for 70.3% of Searchound.com 2000, Ltd.,
common stock.

The new management team devoted significant resources to building
the management team, integrating the two businesses, and developing revenue
streams during the periods of July 2000 through September 2000. Operating
revenues began in September 2000. SearchHound.com, Inc. (the "Company" or
"SearchHound") operated an online technology based enterprise business that is a
destination for Webmasters and small business owners who want to make their
Website more accessible to Internet users. SearchHound has its principal offices
located in Overland Park, Kansas and serves as a holding company for various
internet-based businesses.

During 2002, the Company's Board of Directors changed its strategy
due to poor operating conditions and operating results in its primary businesses
coupled with difficulties in raising capital through debt and equity sources.
The Board of Directors adopted the new strategy during 2002, which committed to
the disposal of all of its current assets/businesses and to seek a
merger/acquisition transaction with a Company having better financial resources.
As of March 31, 2003, the Company has disposed of all of its operating
assets/businesses and ceased all operating activities. The financial statements
reflect the businesses sold as discontinued operations.

On July 10, 2003, the Company's sole officer and director, Dave L.
Mullikin, resigned his positions as President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole
Director and appointed Francis O'Donnell as the sole director. Francis
O'Donnell, as the sole member of the Board of Directors of the Company, has
approved the change of the address of the corporate office of the Company from
Overland Park, Kansas to Coral Springs, Florida. Specifically, the address of
the Company's principal executive office changed from 12817 Woodson, Overland
Park, Kansas 66209 to 9600 W. Sample Road, Suite 505, Coral Springs, Florida
33065.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND OTHER STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The Company trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol
"SHND.OB." Inclusion on the OTC Bulletin Board permits price quotation for our
shares to be published by such service.

OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

The Board of Directors has set the close of business on August 4, 2003 as
the record date (the "Record Date") for determining Stockholders of the Company
entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the
Record Date there were 1,088,159 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value (the
"Common Stock") issued and outstanding, all of which are entitled to be voted at
the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each
matter submitted to Stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will constitute
a quorum for purposes of the Annual Meeting. If less than a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are represented at the Annual Meeting, a
majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time
to time without further notice. A plurality of the votes cast by holders of the
Common Stock will be required for the election of directors. The appointment of
Jewett, Schwartz & Associates as the Company's independent certified public
accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, will be approved if
the number of shares of Common Stock voted in favor of ratification exceeds the
number of shares voted against it, the approval of a 1-for-4 reverse stock split
(pro-rata reduction of outstanding shares) will be approved if the number of
shares of Common Stock voted in favor of reverse stock split exceeds the number
of shares voted against it and the approval of the amendment to our Articles of
Incorporation to change our name to Coach Industries Group, Inc. (or other such
name as may be available) will be approved if the number of shares of Common
Stock voted in favor of amendment exceeds the number of shares voted against it.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present at the Annual
Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. With respect to the outcome of any
matter brought before the Annual Meeting (i) abstentions will be considered as
shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, but will not be
counted as votes cast for or against any given matter and (ii) broker non-votes
will not be considered shares present and entitled to vote. Because directors
will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting and the
other matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting will be approved if the
number of votes cast in favor of the matter exceeds the number of votes cast
against it, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome
of the proposals to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Prior to the Annual Meeting, the Company will select one or more inspectors
of election for the Annual Meeting. Such inspector(s) shall determine the number
of shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting, the existence of a
quorum, and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive, count, and
tabulate ballots and votes, and determine the results thereof.

A list of Stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be
available for examination by any shareholder at the Company's principal
executive office in the United States for a period of 10 days prior to the
Annual Meeting, and at the Annual Meeting itself.

*appointed to the Board of Directors on July 10, 2003.

(1) During 2002, the Board terminated the employment contract of Dave L.
Mullikin. Under the settlement Mr. Mullikin's salary ceased accruing on
August 15, 2002, Mr. Mullikin forgave any sums owing to Mr. Mullikin under
his employment agreement (totaling $189,895) and the severance provision
was forgiven. It was replaced with a consulting agreement between the
Company and Mr. Mullikin whereby Mullikin will continue in his position as
acting chief executive officer of the Company. The agreement calls for Mr.
Mullikin to 1) contract outsourced services to maintain selected ongoing
operations of the Company, 2) attempt to sell the assets of the Company and
3) focus on a merger opportunity for SearchHound. The terms of the
Consulting agreement include the following provisions: Mr. Mullikin agreed
to remain on the Board and Mr. Mullikin would receive a monthly
compensation of $1.00 and health benefits. As of November 14, 2002, Mr.
Mullikin agreed to amend his Consulting Agreement and extend its term
indefinitely, retaining the monthly compensation of $1.00, but
discontinuing the health benefits provision.

(2) The Company issued pursuant to authorized and in force employment

Common Stock to Dave Mullikin.

(3) On May 31, 2002, Mr. Cohen, as part of an asset purchase agreement between
the Company and Mr. Cohen, forgave any sums owing to Mr. Cohen under his
employment agreement (totaling $161,430). As additional consideration for
any outstanding liabilities owning from the Company to Mr. Cohen, including
any contingent liabilities arising from his employment agreement, Mr. Cohen
received the sum of $7,500.

Because no options, stock appreciation rights or Long-Term Incentive Plans have
been granted to any of the executive officers as of December 31, 2002, the
information and tables otherwise required by this Item which relate to such
forms of compensation has been omitted.

PROPOSAL 3 -
TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK

GENERAL

The Board approved resolutions to affect a one-for-four reverse stock
split. Under this reverse stock split each four shares of our Common Stock will
be converted automatically into one share of Common Stock. To avoid the issuance
of fractional shares of Common Stock, an additional share shall be issued to all
holders of a fractional share .50 or greater and no additional shares shall be
issued to a holder of a fractional share less than .50. The effective date of
the reverse stock split will be August 25, 2003.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE
EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY, EXCEPT AS MAY RESULT FROM THE CANCELLATION OR
ISSUANCE OF SHARES BASED ON FRACTIONAL SHARES.

PURPOSE AND MATERIAL EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

The Board of Directors believes that, among other reasons, the number
of outstanding shares of our Common Stock have contributed to a lack of investor
interest in the Company and has made it difficult to attract new investors and
potential business candidates. The Board of Directors had proposed the Reverse
Stock Split as one method to attract business opportunities in the Company.

When a company engages in a reverse stock split, it substitutes one
share of stock for a predetermined amount of shares of stock. It does not
increase the market capitalization of the company. An example of a reverse split
is the following. For example, a company has 1,000,000 shares of common stock
outstanding. Assume the market price is $.01 per share. Assume that that company
declares a 1 for 4 reverse stock split. After the reverse split, that company
will have 1/4 as many shares outstanding or 250,000 shares outstanding. The
stock will have a market price of $0.04. If an individual investor owned 10,000
shares of that company before the split at $.01 per share, he will own 2,500
share at $.04 after the split. In either case, his stock will be worth $100.
He's no better off before or after. Except that such company hopes that the
higher stock price will make that company look better

and thus the company will be a more attractive merger target for potential
business. There is no assurance that that company's stock will rise in price
after a reverse split or that a suitable merger candidate will emerge.

We believe that the Reverse Stock Split may improve the price level of
our Common Stock and that the higher share price could help generate interest in
the Company among investors and other business opportunities. However, the
effect of the reverse split upon the market price for our Common Stock cannot be
predicted, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in
like circumstances is varied. There can be no assurance that the market price
per share of our Common Stock after the reverse split will rise in proportion to
the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding resulting from
the reverse split. The market price of our Common Stock may also be based on our
performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of
shares outstanding.

The reverse split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and
will not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interests in the Company
or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that the reverse split
results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. To avoid the
issuance of fractional shares of Common Stock, an additional share shall be
issued to all holders of a fractional share .50 or greater and no additional
shares shall be issued to a holder of a fractional share less than .50. Any
outstanding options shall automatically have the number of shares to be received
from the exercise of those options revised to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

The principal effect of the reverse split will be that the number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 1,088,159
shares as of August 25, 2003 to approximately 272,039 shares (depending on the
number of shares that are issued or cancelled based on the fractional shares).
The number of authorized shares of Common Stock will not be affected.

The reverse split will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As
a result, on the effective date of the reverse split, the stated capital on our
balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced to up to
one-forth of its present amount, and the additional paid-in capital account
shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The
per share net income or loss and net book value of our Common Stock will be
increased because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

The reverse split will not change the proportionate equity interests of
our stockholders, nor will the respective voting rights and other rights of
stockholders be altered, except for possible immaterial changes due to the
cancellation of fractional shares. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the
reverse split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The reverse split is
not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a "going private transaction
covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We will
continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

Stockholders should recognize that they will own a fewer number of
shares than they presently own (a number equal to the number of shares owned
immediately prior to the filing of the certificate of amendment divided by
four). While we expect that the reverse split will result in an increase in the
potential market price of our Common Stock, there can be no assurance that the
reverse split will increase the potential market price of our Common Stock by a
multiple equal to the exchange number or result in the permanent increase in any
potential market price (which is dependent upon many factors, Including our
performance and prospects). Also, should the market price of our Common Stock
decline, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our
overall market capitalization may be greater than would pertain in the absence
of a reverse split. Furthermore, the possibility exists that potential liquidity
in the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected by the
reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse split. In
addition, the reverse split will increase the number of stockholders of the
Company who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Stockholders who hold odd lots
typically will experience an increase in the cost of selling their

shares, as well as possible greater difficulty in effecting such sales.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that the reverse split will achieve the
desired results that have been outlined above.

PROCEDURE FOR EXCHANGE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES

The reverse split will become effective on August 25, 2003, which we
will refer to as the "effective date." Beginning on the effective date, each
certificate representing pre-reverse split shares will be deemed for all
corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse split shares.

Our transfer agent, Madison Stock Transfer, Inc., will act as exchange
agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates and
payment of fractional share interests. We refer to such person as the "exchange
agent." Holders of pre-reverse split shares are asked to surrender to the
exchange agent certificates representing pre-reverse split shares in exchange
for certificates representing post-reverse split shares in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal to be sent our the
Stockholders. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until that
stockholder has surrendered the stockholder's outstanding certificate(s)
together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal.

Our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights under the Nevada
Revised Statutes in connection with the reverse stock split.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

We will not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse split shares
in connection with the reverse split. Instead, an additional share shall be
issued to all holders of a fractional share .50 or greater and no additional
shares shall be issued to a holder of a fractional share less than .50.

To the extent any holders of pre-reverse split shares are entitled to fractional
shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will issue an
additional share to holders of a fractional share .50 or greater and cancel the
fractional shares without issuing an additional shares to holders of a
fractional share less than .50.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE
AND
SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

SUMMARY OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Below is a brief summary of the reverse stock split:

o The issued and outstanding Common Stock shall be reduced on the basis of
one post-split share of the Common Stock for every four pre-split shares of
the Common Stock outstanding. The consolidation shall not affect any
rights, privileges or obligations with respect to the shares of the Common
Stock existing prior to the consolidation.

o Stockholders of record of the Common Stock as of August 25, 2003 shall have
their total shares reduced on the basis of one post-split share of Common
Stock for every 4 pre-split shares outstanding.

o As a result of the reduction of the Common Stock the pre-split total of
issued and outstanding shares of 1,088,159 shall be consolidated to a total
of approximately 272,039 issued and outstanding shares (depending on the
number of shares that are issued or cancelled based on fractional shares).

o The Company's authorized number of common stock shall remain at 50,000,000
shares of the Common Stock.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following is a summary description of our capital stock and certain
provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and by-laws. The following
discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common
stock, $.001 par value. Holders of the Company's common stock have no preemptive
or other subscription rights. As of August 4, 2003, there were 1,088,159 shares
of the Company's common stock outstanding. The holders of the Company's common
stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of
the shareholders. Holders of the Company's common stock do not have cumulative
voting rights. Therefore, holders of more than 50% of the shares of the
Company's common stock are able to elect all directors eligible for election
each year. The holders of common stock are entitled to dividends and other
distributions out of assets legally available if and when declared by the
Company's board of directors. Upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to share pro
rata in the distribution of all of the Company's assets remaining available for
distribution after satisfaction of all liabilities, including any prior rights
of any preferred stock which may be outstanding. There are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions applicable to the Company's common stock.

The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Madison Stock Transfer,
Inc. P.O. Box 290-145, Brooklyn, New York 11229-0145.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE
PROPOSAL TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK.

PROPOSAL 4
AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO
CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY

We operated as a holding company for internet-based
assets/businesses, primarily through the acquisitions of operating
assets/businesses through the issuance of common stock. Recognizing that our
business on a going forward basis would be unprofitable and not enhance the
value for our shareholders, as of March 31, 2003, we disposed of all of our
operating assets/businesses and ceased all operating activities. Our operations
since that time have consisted of exploring various business opportunities.
Management believes that our present name might negatively influence any
transaction partner. In addition, the management believes that giving the Board
the authority and discretion to change our name to Coach Industries Group, Inc.
(or such other name as may be available) might make us a more attractive to a
potential acquisition target.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE
PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE OF NAME OF
THE COMPANY.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2003 ANNUAL MEETING

Under SEC rules, shareholders intending to present a proposal at the Annual

Coral Springs, Florida 33065. We must receive the proposal no later than
December 19, 2003.

Shareholders intending to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting in 2004, but
not to include the proposal in our proxy statement, must comply with the

as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Exchange Act requires, among other things,
that a shareholder must submit a written notice of intent to present such a
