eduverse.com NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - JUNE 30, 2000 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 $310,089 and $590,450 for the three-and six-months periods respectively ended June 30, 2000, and as of June 30, 2000 had a working capital deficiency of $23,606. 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. 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. 5
2. MAJOR CUSTOMERS For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, 88% of software sales were derived from two customers. At June 30, 2000, the aggregate accounts receivable balance relating to these customers was $9,255. For the same period in 1999 72% of software sales were derived from one customer. At June 30, 1999, the aggregate accounts receivable balance relating to this customer was $50,077. 3.

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. Under this financing the Company sold 276,000 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. The Company has closed this offering. [c] Stock options During the three- month period ended June 30, 2000 the Company cancelled 115,000 employee stock options and issued 192,500 in new employee stock options. In addition, 215,000 employee stock options were re-priced to $0.68 per share. The following table summarizes information about stock options under the plans outstanding at June 30, 2000: Number Range of Outstanding at Exercise June 30, Prices 2000 -------------------------------- $0.38 150,000 $0.67 - $0.75 1,490,000 -------------------------------- Total 1,640,000 6
5. 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. 6. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS FOR SAB 101 AND FIN NO. 44 In December 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements of all public registrants. The provisions of SAB 101 are effective for transactions beginning in the Company's year ended December 31, 2000. The Company has not completed its assessment of the impact of SAB 101 and has not determined its effect, if any, on its future reported results of operations. On March 31, 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"). This statement is effective for certain transactions from December 15, 1998 and is to be applied commencing July 1, 2000. The Company has not completed its assessment of the impart of FIN 44 and has not determined its effect, if any, on its future reported results of operations. 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (a) The Company will be moving its premises in Canada effective September 1, 2000 to 2-70 East 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia. Rent will increase to approximately $2,400 per month. (b) The Company borrowed $50,000 from one of its officers and directors in July, 2000. 7
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S 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 Form 10-QSB. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. See "Forward-looking Statements" and "Risk Factors." Forward-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-and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three-and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2000, 88% of the Company's software sales were derived from two customers. Revenues for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2000 were $9,320 and $11,807 respectively. Compared with $24,519 and $136,141 for the same periods in 1999. This decrease is primarily due to the Company's decision to discontinue retail sales of its ENGLISH PRO 6.2. The Company anticipates minimal 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 June 30, 2000, cost of goods sold increased to $5,028 from $1,365 for the same period in 1999. The difference is attributed to software packages being returned for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, cost of goods decreased to $730 from $35,923 for the same periods in 1999. This overall decrease is due to the Company's decision to discontinue retail sales of its ENGLISH PRO 6.2. 8
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 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, depreciation expenses increased to $5,278 and $10,187 respectively from $4,369 and $7,336 for the same periods 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 $132,906 and $278,081 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, which represents an increase of 28% and 29% over the same periods in 1999. These increases are due primarily to increases in expenses related to hiring of personnel, and travel expenses. In addition, legal and accounting fees associated with the filing on the Company's Form 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 and South America. 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 $97,400 and $162,514 for the three-and six-month periods respectively ended June 30, 2000, which were 10% and 27% higher than those incurred for the same periods in 1999. These increases were primarily attributable to increased travel expenses incurred to promote the Company's Internet-enabled software products in South East Asia, South America and the reallocation of administrative personnel to marketing. The Company anticipates marketing expenses will increase over the next 12 months as a result of its current initiatives in Thailand, China, Malaysia and the Company's anticipated growth throughout Asia and Latin America. This will require extensive travel and promotional activities for its marketing staff. The Company intends to higher additional marketing staff during the next two quarters. 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 $85,139 and $176,784 for the three- and six-month periods respectively ended June 30, 2000 which represents increases of 20% and 30% over the same periods in 1999. These increases were primarily due to increased staffing in the research and development team. The Company anticipates that its research and development staff will continue to grow in 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 9
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 2000 or 1999 as a result of losses. As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2000, which will begin to expire in 2005 if not utilized. 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-and six- month periods ended June 30, 2000 decreased to $1,071 and $1,075 respectively compared to $55,546 and $96,945 for the same periods 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 $1,498,707 through June 30, 2000. At June 30, 2000, the Company had $87,805 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $23,606. On March 2000, the Company announced a financing via private placement offering under Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The offering was for up to 1,000,000 units at $1 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of restricted common stock and two warrants. The two warrants entitle the holder to purchase one additional share of restricted common stock at $2.50 per share and $5.00 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2000 the Company had received $276,000 of this offering. The Company will no longer accept any funds under this offering. The Company has not yet generated positive cashflows from operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $553,032 and $380,093 for the six-month period ended June 30, 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 and $3,148 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 and $26,294 for the same period in 1999 respectively. The capital expenditures related primarily to the acquisition of computer hardware used to support the Company's growing employee base. Net cash provided by financing activities was $600,401 and $700,363 for the six-month period ended June 30, 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. The Company does foresee an increase in operating expenses in order to implement its Internet/Intranet enabled applications in Thailand, China and Malaysia or to continue the upgrade of its software application. Further, the Company expects to sign additional Ministries of Education and begin implementations by the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company expects to fund these initiatives with further issuance of common stock of the Company and from advertising revenues that are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2000. 10
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 six months. Thereafter, the Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to meet its 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, other than to current shareholders, the percentage ownership of its current 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, which could 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 third and fourth quarters of 2000, the Company intends to engage in activities in foreign countries, namely Thailand, China, Malaysia, Columbia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. 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.

Limited Operating History; History of Losses; Increased Expenses The Company incurred a net loss of $310,089 and $590,450 for three and six-month periods respectively ended June 30, 2000. Compared to $218,673 and $322,021 for the same periods in 1999. 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. 11
Need for Additional Financing The Company has accumulated losses of $2,134,493 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 $310,089 and $590,450 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 2000 had a working capital deficiency of $23,606. 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.
