During the last five (5) years, the Instruction C Person has not been

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
At the execution of a settlement agreement between Eduverse and Barbon
dated March 14, 2001 (the "Settlement Agreement"), 2,989,000 shares of
restricted common stock of Eduverse were issued to Barbon. The consideration
exchanged for the securities of Eduverse was the release and satisfaction by
Barbon of a debt owed by Eduverse in the principal amount with accrued interest
of $127,630.30. A copy of the Settlement Agreement between Eduverse and Barbon
is filed herewith as Exhibit A.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The transaction described herein was undertaken for the purpose of
satisfying the debt owed by Eduverse to Barbon as follows:
(i) Eduverse had incurred debt inclusive of accrued interest in the
aggregate amount of $127,630.30 with Barbon for either past financial,
administrative and managerial services performed by Barbon pursuant to
employment relations and/or prior advances made by Barbon to Eduverse.
(ii) Eduverse entered into the Settlement Agreement with Barbon whereby
Barbon agreed to settle the debt owed to him by Eduverse and accept
the issuance of restricted common shares of Eduverse at the rate of
$0.0427 per share as settlement for all interest and principle due and
outstanding to Barbon as of the date of the Settlement Agreement.
(iii) Eduverse desired to enter into the Settlement Agreement to clear its
financial books of this and other liabilities in order that Eduverse
could proceed with other financings, and is not in a financial
position to be able to pay cash to Barbon for satisfaction of such
debt.
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 acquired 2,989,000
shares of restricted common stock of Eduverse. Barbon may consider the
acquisition 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 March 16,2001, Barbon beneficially
owned 3,018,953 shares (or approximately 8.05% of the outstanding
shares) of Eduverse's common stock as follows:
Holder Number of Shares
------ ----------------
Vaughn Barbon 29,953
Vaughn Barbon 2,989,000
Total 3,018,953
(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 3,018,953 shares of common stock of Eduverse held by
Barbon.
(c) As of March 14, 2001, and within the sixty day period prior thereto,

Act and under any applicable state securities law or an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company is delivered to the Company to the effect that any
proposed disposition of the Shares will not violate the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Shares under the Securities Act or to register or qualify the Shares for sale
under any state securities laws, or to take any other action, through the
establishment of exemption(s) or otherwise, to permit the transfer thereof.
5. Barbon has had an opportunity to ask questions of and received answers
from the officers, directors and employees of the Company or a person or persons
acting on its or their behalf, concerning the financial position of the Company.
6. This Settlement Agreement shall be effective as of March 14, 2001, and
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective assigns and successors.
