NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Organization eduverse.com (the "Company") was incorporated on October 22, 1991, under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Ward's Futura Automotive, Ltd. The Company's name was subsequently changed to Perfect Future, Ltd. On June 11, 1998 its name was changed to Eduverse Accelerated Learning Systems, Inc. and on May 19, 1999 to eduverse.com. Pursuant to a series of transactions on May 28, 1998 and May 29, 1998, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of ESL Pro Systems Inc. ("ESL") and M&M Information and Marketing Services Inc. ("M&M"), both Nevada companies incorporated on May 5, 1998 and under common control. The Company exchanged 2,000,000 common shares and 7,000,000 common shares for all of the outstanding share capital of ESL and M&M, respectively. As a result of these acquisitions, the previous shareholders of ESL and M&M, as a group, owned more than 50% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company. Consequently, this business combination has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby ESL and M&M are deemed to have been combined in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, and to have acquired the Company. Accordingly, these transactions represent the recapitalization of the businesses of ESL and M&M on a combined basis. These consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the Company, but are a continuation of the combined financial statements of ESL and M&M and reflect the accounts of ESL and M&M since their inception at their historic net book values. As at May 29, 1998, the Company had net monetary assets of $1. For purposes of the acquisition, the fair value of the net monetary assets of $1 has been ascribed to the 2,250,000 previously outstanding common shares of the Company deemed to be issued in the acquisition. Description of business The Company is a technology-based company focused on developing and marketing interactive multimedia educational software products. At March 31, 2000, the Company's principal markets include Canada and U.S.A. The Company generates revenues from the retail sale of its English language tutorial software products ENGLISH PRO. In late 1998, the Company started pioneering a new e-commerce educational delivery model that provides users with free access to online education. The Company expects to generate the majority of its future revenues from advertising revenues by including an advertiser's message as part of the ENGLISH PRO tutorial. In 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company recognized no advertising revenues. Going concern The Company's financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2000 have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The company incurred a loss of $284,298 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, and as of March 31, 2000 had a working capital deficiency of $78,118. Management recognizes that the Company must obtain additional financial resources by raising capital from shareholders or other sources or consider a reduction in operating costs to enable it to continue operations with available resources. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises additional funds, that the Company will achieve positive cash flow. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, management will be required to sharply curtail the Company's operating expenses. Accordingly, the company's continuation as a going concern is in substantial doubt. 5
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities, which may be necessary, if the company is unable to continue its operations. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: eduverse dot com inc. (British Columbia, Canada), ESL Pro Systems Inc. (Nevada, USA), and M&M Information and Marketing Services Inc. (Nevada, USA). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid financial instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less when acquired and which are readily convertible to cash. Finished goods inventory Finished goods inventory consists of English language tutorial software products and is carried at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Capital assets Capital assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: Computer equipment 3 years Furniture and office equipment 5 years Web-site development costs Web-site development costs have been expensed as incurred. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Leases Leases which transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of the leased property are accounted for as capital leases whereby the property is recorded as an asset and the obligation incurred is recorded as a liability. Under this method of accounting for leases, the asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life and the obligation, including interest thereon, is amortized over the life of the lease. Operating lease payments are expensed as incurred. Financial instruments At March 31, 2000, the Company has the following financial instruments: cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loans and royalty payable. The carrying value of these financial instruments is considered to approximate fair value based on their short-term nature. 6
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.) Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $9,526 in 2000. Deferred charge The deferred charge represents a license fee for the use of software and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the three year minimum term of the license agreement. As the Company does not expect to obtain any future value from this licensing agreement, the entire deferred charge balance of $159,800 was written off to expense in 1999. Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method of tax allocation. Under this method, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Research and development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. However, computer software development costs incurred after technological feasibility of a product is established are capitalized. Technological feasibility is generally not established until substantially all related product development is complete and the product is released. Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees based on Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations, whereby the intrinsic value of options granted is recorded at the measurement date. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation for stock options granted to employees. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net loss per common share The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for that period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. For the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, there were no dilutive potential common shares outstanding since the Company is in a loss position. Foreign currency translation In 2000 and 1999, the functional currency of the Company changed to the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, for the Canadian subsidiary, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the historic rate. Revenue and expenses, except amortization are translated at the average exchange rate in 7
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.) the year. Amortization is translated at the same rate as the related non-monetary assets. Gains or losses arising on this foreign currency translation are recorded in income. Revenue recognition Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized at the time products are shipped to customers. Distribution royalty revenue is recognized when the terms of the distribution agreement have been met. Revenue received in advance of shipment is recorded as unearned revenue. Comprehensive loss Comprehensive loss includes all changes in shareholders' deficit during a period except those resulting from capital transactions. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents accumulated foreign currency adjustments for all periods presented. Recent pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 will be effective for the Company's year-end December 31, 2001. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued EITF 00-2 "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." EITF 00-2 will be effective for the Company's year-end December 31, 2000. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, of these pronouncements on its consolidated financial statements. 3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS For the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, 64% of software sales were derived from one customer. At March 31, 2000, the aggregate accounts receivable balance relating to this customer was $3,102. For the same period 1n 1999 86% of software sales were derived from two customers. At March 31, 1999, the aggregate accounts receivable balance relating to this customer was $57,136. 4.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 5. DEFERRED CHARGE On May 7, 1998, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary ESL PRO Systems Inc. entered into a license agreement with Boswell International Technologies Ltd. (Boswell) to acquire certain rights to developed software. Pursuant to the license agreement, ESL PRO Systems Inc. is required to make certain minimum annual royalty payments and may be required to pay additional amounts based on sales levels for a minimum period of 3 years. In 1998, the Company capitalized the total value of the contract of $211,800 as a deferred charge, to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the three-year contract term. The Company also recorded a royalty payable for $211,800, to be paid to Boswell based on a pre-determined schedule, as defined in the contract. The Company was required to make a minimum royalty payment of $29,400 in 1999. However, only $6,500 was repaid. Future minimum payments, including the remaining amount due in 1999, under the terms of this contract are 2000 - $104,400 and 2001 - $48,900. As the Company is changing its software delivery system from in-store retail to on-line delivery, it is no longer using the developed software licensed from Boswell International Technologies Ltd. As no future benefit will be derived from this deferred license fee, the amount of $159,800 has been written off to expense for the year ended December 31, 1999. 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS General and administrative expenses include consulting fees of $15,000 and $15,000 paid to officers of the Company during the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 and the same period in 1999 respectively. 7. LOANS PAYABLE March 31, 2000 $ - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Stockholder Loan -- Inventory Loans 5,000 Third Party Loan -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------- 5,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Inventory Loans outstanding at March 31, 2000 bear interest at 70%. These loans are unsecured, with no maturity date. At the option of the holder the loans may be converted into common shares of the Company at a conversion rate equal to 65% of the market value of the common stock on the date of conversion. The amount of the beneficial conversion has been expensed in 1999 and is presented in additional paid in capital. The loan was paid out on April 28, 2000. 8. SHARE CAPITAL [a] Authorized The authorized capital of the Company consists of 50,000,000 voting common shares with $0.001 par value and 5,000,000 non-voting preferred shares with $.001 par value. [b] Stock offering In March 2000, the Company announced a financing via private placement offering under Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company intends to offer and sell 1,000,000 9
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) units at $1 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of restricted common stock and two warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of restricted common stock at $2.50 per share and $5.00 per share, respectively. [c] Stock options During the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 the Company cancelled 90,000 employee stock option. The following table summarizes information about stock options under the plans outstanding at March 31, 2000: Number Range of Outstanding at Exercise December 31, Prices 1999 - -------------------------------- $0.38 150,000 $0.68 - $1.00 1,147,500 $1.06 - $1.38 150,000 $2.50 - $3.50 20,000 $4.50 - $5.50 20,000 - -------------------------------- Total 1,487,500 9. INCOME TAXES At December 31, 1999 the Company has a net operating loss for United States income tax purposes of approximately $190,000 which will begin to expire in 2018 if not utilized. In addition, the Company has non-capital losses for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $900,000 at December 31, 1999, which will begin to expire in 2005 if not utilized. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company has recognized a valuation allowance of $500,000 equal to the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the assets. 10. COMMITMENTS Operating lease The Company leases its operating facilities on a month-to-month basis at a rate of $1,500 per month. For the period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred rent expense of $6,521 and $4,853 respectively. The Company has entered into a contract with a consultant who is to provide investor relations services. Under the terms of this contract, the Company is required to make monthly cash payments of $5,000 through November 2000. 12. OTHER INCOME In 2000, the Company recognized $936 of revenues from interest generated on its bank accounts. 10
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In April 2000, the Company issued 336,66 shares of common stock in exchange for $295,000 in capital.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in "risk factors" and elsewhere in this registration statement. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this registration statement. See "Forward-looking Statements" and "Risk Factors." Foreword-looking Statements Except for statements of historical fact, certain information contained herein constitutes "forward-looking statements," including without limitation statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "expects" and words of similar import, as well as all projections of future results. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results or achievements of the Company expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to the following: the Company's limited operating history, competition, management of growth and integration, risks of technological change, the Company's dependence on key personnel, marketing relationships and the other risks and uncertainties described under "Description of Business - Risk Factors" in this Form 10-QSB. Certain of the forward looking statements contained in this registration statement are identified with cross-references to this section and/or to specific risks identified under "Risk Factors." RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 1999 Revenues. The Company derives its revenues from the retail sales of its software products and royalties received from distributors of its software products. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, 64% of the Company's software sales were derived from two customers. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $1,558 compared with $100,453 for the same period in 1999. This decrease is primarily due to the Company's decision to exit the retail sales of its ENGLISH PRO 6.2. The Company anticipates minimum revenues from retail sales of its software products during 2000. In addition, it is anticipated that additional revenues from the sale of advertising embedded in the Company's Internet-enabled software product will be generated beginning the third quarter of 2000. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of Goods Sold consists of expenses associated with the physical production of the "boxed" software packages that are sold in the retail market. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, cost of goods sold decrease to $4,296 from ($37,030) for the same period in 1999. This decrease is due to the Company's decision to exit the retail sales of its ENGLISH PRO 6.2. Amortization and Write Down of Deferred Charge. The amortized deferred charge represents a license fee for the use of ENGLISH PRO 6.2 and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the three-year minimum term of the license agreement. As the Company does not 12
expect to obtain any future value from this licensing agreement, the entire deferred charge balance of $159,800 was written off to expense in 1999. The license fee for use of software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the three-year minimum term of the license agreement with Boswell. Depreciation Depreciation expenses consists of depreciation on computer equipment, office equipment and furniture. Capital assets such as computer equipment and furniture and office equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, computer equipment over three years and furniture and office equipment over five years. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, depreciation expenses increased to $4,881 from $3,240 for the same period in 1999. This is due to increased depreciation costs associated with the increase in purchases of computer equipment by the Company. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of management, financial and administrative personnel expenses and related costs and professional service fees. General and administrative expenses were $145,952 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, which represents an increase of 52% over the same period in 1999. This increase is due primarily to an increase in expenses related to hiring of personnel, and travel expenses. In addition, legal and accounting fees associated with the filing on The Company's 10-QSB and other matters relating to being a fully reporting company. The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenses will increase significantly in the next year due to the implementation of its Internet/Intranet enabled software initiatives in South East Asia. Marketing Expenses. Marketing expenses consist primarily of marketing and promotional costs relating to the development of the Company's brands as well as personnel, travel and other costs. Marketing expenses were $62,966 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, which were 28% higher than those incurred for the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to increased travel expenses incurred to promote the Company's Internet-enabled software products in South East Asia. The Company anticipates marketing expenses will increase over the next 12 months as a result of its current initiatives in Thailand and Malaysia throughout Asia and Latin America, which will require extensive travel for the its marketing staff. Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses primarily include personnel costs relating to developing the Company's software and maintaining and enhancing the features content and functionality of the Company's Internet Web site and related systems. Research and development expenses were $91,555 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 which represents an increase of 54% over the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to increased staffing in the research and development team. The Company anticipates that its research and development staff will continue to grow through and into 2000 as the Company focuses on improving and expanding the features and availability of its Internet/Intranet network-enabled software products. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. However, computer software development costs incurred after technological feasibility of a product is established are capitalized. Technological feasibility is generally not established until substantially all related product development is complete and the product is released. Income Taxes. No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in 1999 or 1998 as a result of losses. As of March 31, 2000 the Company had a net operating loss for United States income tax purposes of approximately $190,000 which will begin to expire in 2018 if not utilized. In addition, the Company has non-capital losses for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $900,000 at March 31, 2000, which will begin to expire in 2005 if not utilized. 13
The Company has recognized a valuation allowance of $500,000 equal to the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the asset. Other Income. Other income during the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 decreased to $936 compared to $41,691 for the same period in 1999. Other Income consisted of interest earned by the Company on its bank balances. The Other Income in 1999 was the result of the sale of two web domains by the Company. It is not anticipated the Company will be selling web domains in the future. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since inception, the Company has financed operations and met its capital expenditure requirements primarily through private sales of equity securities, which have resulted in net proceeds of $1,488,928 through March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2000, the Company had $84,843 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $78,118. On March 2000, the Company announced a financing via private placement offering under Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company intends to offer and sell 1,000,000 units at $1 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of restricted common stock and two warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of restricted common stock at $2.50 per share and $5.00 per share, respectively. As of March 31, 2000 the Company has received $110,000 of this offering. The Company has not yet generated positive cashflows from operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $269,352 and $256,268 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 and for the same period in 1999, respectively. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash from operations for the year ending December 31, 2000. The Company's investing activities have consisted of capital expenditures totaling $1,882 and $8,710 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 and for the same period in 1999 respectively. The capital expenditures related primarily to the acquisition of computer hardware used to support its growing employee base. Net cash provided by financing activities was $319,500 and $706,000 for the three month-period ended March 31, 2000 and for the same period in 1999, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from issuance of capital stock, which was partially offset by principal payments on capital leases and notes payable. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 the Company received $110,000 under its financing offering. Shares had not been issued as of March 31, 2000. The Company does foresee an increase in operating expenses in order to implement its Internet/Intranet enabled applications in Thailand and Malaysia as well as the continue upgrade of its software application. Further, the Company expects to sign additional Ministries of Education and with implementations beginning by the second quarter of 2000. The Company expects to fund these increase with further issuance of common stock of the Company and from advertising revenues that are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2000. On April 27, 2000 the Company announced an agreement with the China Central Educational Technology Center to provide educational software to China's primary and secondary schools. The Company believes that anticipated private placements of equity capital and anticipated operating revenues will be adequate to fund the Company's operations over the next nine months. Thereafter, the Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to meet its 14
long-term operating requirements. The Company may encounter business initiatives that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash before that time. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of its shareholders would be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company's ability to fund its expansion, take advantage of business opportunities, develop or enhance its products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited, and it may significantly restrict the Company's operations. Foreign Currency Translation and Hedging Foreign exchange gains (losses) have not been significant to date and the Company does not, at this time, engage in forward exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against fluctuations in the exchange rate between United States and Canadian dollars. During the second and third quarters of 2000, the Company intends to engage in activities in foreign countries, namely Thailand, Malaysia, Columbia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. These activities will likely result in development expenses related to the installation, support and maintenance of ENGLISH PRO Network Edition on educational networks and sales and marketing expenses related to generating advertising revenues in these regions. The Company has no immediate plans for hedging against fluctuations in these currencies. Risk factors The business of the Company involves a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from results projected in any forward-looking statement in this report. These risks and uncertainties include the risks set forth below. The Company's securities are speculative and investment in the Company's securities involves a high degree of risk and the possibility the investor will suffer the loss of the entire amount invested. Limited Operating History; History of Losses; Increased Expenses The Company incurred a net loss of $284,298 for three-month period ended March 31, 2000. The Company has had minimal revenue since inception , it has never been profitable and there can be no assurance that, in the future, the Company will be profitable on a quarterly or annual basis. In addition, the Company plans to increase its operating expenses to expand its sales and marketing operations, fund greater levels of research and development, broaden its customer support capabilities and increase its administration resources. In view of the rapidly evolving nature of the Company's business, markets and limited operating history, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Need for Additional Financing The Company has accumulated losses of $1,828,341 since it began operations in May 1998 and will require additional working capital to complete its business development activities and generate revenue adequate to cover operating and further development expenses. The Company incurred a loss of $284,298 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, and as of 15
March 31, 2000 had a working capital deficiency of $78,118. Management recognizes that the Company must obtain additional financial resources by raising capital from shareholders or other sources or consider a reduction in operating costs to enable it to continue operations with available resources. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises additional funds that the Company will achieve positive cash flow. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing, management will be required to sharply curtail the Company's operating expenses. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
