Vaughn Barbon has the sole right to control the disposition of and vote the
Eduverse securities acquired.
During the last five (5) years, the Instruction C Person has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) nor has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction or become subject to a judgment,
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
On approximately April 26, 2001, pursuant to a private transaction not
involving a public sale, Barbon sold 2,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock
to Syncro-Data Systems, Ltd. at a price of $0.01 per share for an aggregate
consideration of approximately $20,000. On April 26, 2001, Mr. Barbon held of
record 3,018,953 shares of restricted Common Stock. The 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock acquired by Syncro-Data Systems, Ltd. are restricted securities.
Syncro-Data Systems, Ltd. executed a document in which it acknowledged that the
securities had not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
that it understood the economic risk of an investment in the securities, and
that it had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from
management of Eduverse.Com concerning any and all matters related to the
acquisition of securities. No underwriter was involved in the transaction, and
no commissions or other remuneration were paid in connection with the sale and
purchase of the securities.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The transaction described herein was undertaken for the purpose of
providing Syncro-Data Systems, Ltd. with an equity position relating to the
proposed sale and purchase by Syncro-Data Systems, Ltd. of substantially all of
the assets of Eduverse, which has been reported in an 8-K report filed on
approximately March 20, 2001.
Pursuant to the instructions for items (a) through (j) of Item 4, Barbon
has plans as follows:
(a) As set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule, Barbon has disposed of
2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of Eduverse. Barbon may
consider the acquisition and/or disposition of additional securities
of Eduverse, the issuer, but has no present plans or proposals to do
so.
(b) Barbon has no present plans or proposals to cause a merger or effect a
liquidation or reorganization of Eduverse or to enter into
extraordinary corporate transactions.
(c) Barbon has no present plans or proposals to cause a sale or transfer
of a material amount of assets of Eduverse.
(d) Barbon plans to exercise the voting rights associated with ownership
of shares of common stock of Eduverse.
(e) Barbon has no present plans or proposals to cause a material change in
the capitalization of Eduverse.
(f) Barbon has no present plans or proposals to make any other material
change to the business or corporate structure of Eduverse.
(g) Barbon has no present plans or proposals to change Eduverse's charter,
bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or to take other actions
that impede the acquisition of control of Eduverse by any person.
(h) Barbon has no present plans or proposals to cause Eduverse's common
stock from not being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
(i) Barbon has no present plans or proposal relating to a class of
securities of Eduverse becoming eligible for termination of
registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.
(j) Barbon has no present plans or proposals to take any action similar to
any of those enumerated in (a) through (i) above.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) As of the close of business on May 2, 2001, Barbon beneficially owned
1,018,953 shares (or approximately 2.72% of the outstanding shares) of
Eduverse's common stock.
(b) No Instruction C Person owns any other shares of common or preferred
stock of Eduverse. Barbon has sole power to vote or to direct the
voting of the 1,018,953 shares of common stock of Eduverse held by
Barbon.
(c) As of May 2,2001, and within the sixty day period prior thereto, to
the best knowledge and belief of the undersigned, with the exception
of the acquisition of shares of restricted common stock by Barbon on
approximately March 26, 2001, no other transactions involving Eduverse
equity securities had been engaged in by Barbon, or by any associates
of said party, nor do any of said parties have any right to acquire
such securities.
(d) To the best knowledge and belief of the undersigned, no person other
than Barbon has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such
securities.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

persons named in Item 2 exist with respect to securities of the issuer.
