(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's financial statements 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 $288,173 for the period ended June 30, 2001, and as
of June 30, 2001 had a working capital deficiency of $114,140. Management
recognizes that the Company must obtain additional financial resources by
raising capital to enable it to continue normal operations. 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. Management has been unable to raise additional equity capital to
implement its marketing and development initiatives for its current operations
and is therefore looking at other business opportunities for the Company. On
March 2, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement and sold its subsidiary
eduverse dot com, inc. effective June 30, 2001. Refer to Note 5. These factors
raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's continuation as a going concern.
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 as a going concern.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation
S-B. They do not include all information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However,
except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the
information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2000 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those
financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of Management,
all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely
of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Principles of consolidation
- ---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary: M&M Information and Marketing Services Inc.
(incorporated in Nevada, USA) and the results of operations for eduverse dot
com, inc., which was sold effective June 30, 2001. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
- --------------------------------
Preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
The Company considers all liquid investments, with an original maturity of three
months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Financial instruments
- ---------------------
At June 30, 2001, the Company has the following financial instruments: accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of these instruments is
considered to approximate fair value based on their short term nature.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign Currency Translation
- ----------------------------
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated
to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which
prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at
average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments are
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of
operations.
Net Loss per Common Share
- -------------------------
Basic earnings per share include no dilution and are computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period
and the comparative figures have been restated for the 50:1 share consolidation.
There are no dilutive securities outstanding.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary
differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. At June 30, 2001 a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance
has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.
Stock-Based Compensation
- ------------------------
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in respect to stock options
granted to employees and officers using the intrinsic value based method in
accordance with APB 25. Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for
using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123. In addition, with
respect to stock options granted to employees, the Company provides pro-forma
information as required by SFAS No. 123 showing the results of applying the fair
value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt
of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123
and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force in Issue No.
96-18. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the
consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments
issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the
earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the
provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.
Comprehensive income
- --------------------
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions,
events and circumstances, other than those resulting from investments by owners
and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income to date consists only of the
net gain resulting from translation of the foreign currency financial statements
of the Company's former wholly-owned subsidiary, eduverse dot com inc.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
GENERAL
Eduverse.Com, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Eduverse Dot Com Inc. ("Eduverse"), had primarily been a
technology-based company engaged in the business of developing and marketing
interactive multimedia educational software programs. During fiscal year 1999,
however, the Company began exiting the traditional method of selling its
software through retail channels and focused primarily on partnering with
various governments to combine education, the Internet and corporate advertising
in marketing its new products. The Company expected to generate a majority of
its revenues from these software products by charging fees for advertising that
was to be placed within the software. The Company intended to offer its software
free to educational and other institutions within approximately thirty countries
which operated private computer networks and allowed advertisements to be
displayed to their students, and to collect advertising fees for advertisements
placed within the software.
During fiscal year 1999, revenues were derived from three sources: (i) the
retail sale of its software packages, (ii) distribution royalty fees, and (iii)
income derived from the sale of two website names. During fiscal year 1999, the
Company recognized no advertising revenues from its English Pro Network Edition
software. As a result, quarterly revenues began to decline during late fiscal
year 1999 resulting in a substantial net loss.
During fiscal year 2000, quarterly revenues continued to decline. Any
revenues earned were derived principally from the marketing and sale of the
Company's software packages. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of the Company's retail
software sale revenue was derived from two customers. Management of the Company
primarily attributed the decrease in revenues to the Company's decision to
discontinue retail software sales of its products. Management of the Company had
expected to generate the majority of its future revenues commencing third
quarter of 2000 from advertising revenues earned from fees charged for inclusion
of the advertiser's message on the Company's software. During fiscal year 2000,
the Company recognized no advertising revenues from its software.
8
At a special meeting held on March 2, 2001, the board of directors
unanimously approved a share purchase agreement dated March 2, 2001 (the "Share
Purchase Agreement") between the Company and Syncro-Data Systems, Ltd.
("Syncro-Data"), a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia (the
"Proposed Transaction"), and directed that the Share Purchase Agreement be
submitted to shareholders of the Company for their approval. On June 1, 2001,
the Proposed Transaction was consummated pursuant to the terms of the Share
Purchase. See "Part II. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders".
The Share Purchase Agreement provided for the sale by the Company to
Syncro-Data of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of
Eduverse, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, held by the Company. The Share
Purchase Agreement further provided that (i) Syncro-Data had paid the ongoing
expenses of Eduverse to date in the approximate amount of $50,000; (ii)
Syncro-Data had agreed to recognize certain liabilities of Eduverse; and (iii)
Eduverse would retain all of its right, title and interest in and to certain
intellectual property rights and other property, including accounts receivable,
contract revenue and outstanding cash in the approximate amount of $900.00.
The Company and Syncro-Data closed the Proposed Transaction on June 30,
2001. Based upon review of a wide variety of factors considered in connection
with its evaluation of the sale of assets, the board of directors of the Company
believed that the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company,
through consummation of the Share Purchase Agreement, would be fair to and in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has terminated all
development of its previous business commensurate with the sale of the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary to Syncro-Data on June 30, 2001, and has ceased to
actively market itself as a technology-based company.
Current management of the Company anticipates that during fiscal year 2001,
the Company will continue to undertake research relating to prospective new
business endeavors. This research may result in the Company entering into
business operations that are not in the educational software industry.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six-Month Period Ended June 30,
2000
The Company's net losses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001
were approximately $288,173 compared to a net loss of approximately $596,950 (an
decrease of $308,777) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2000.
Gross revenues from the discontinued operations of Eduverse during the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were $5,318 and $12,557,
respectively. Gross revenues decreased by approximately $7,239 during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the six-month period ended
June 30, 2000. The decrease in gross revenues during the six-month period ended
June 30, 2001 was primarily due to the Company's decision to discontinue retail
sales of its English Pro 6.2 product.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded
operating expenses of $283,496 compared to $131,362 of operating expenses
recorded in the same period for 2000 (an increase of $152,134). Operating
expenses consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses, which
increased by $174,104 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared
to the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. This increase in general and
administrative expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 was
primarily due to an increase in expenses related to the negotiation,
consummation and required shareholder approval of the Share Purchase Agreement
dated March 2, 2001. See "Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders."
9
General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead,
administrative salaries, selling expenses, consulting costs and professional
fees. Of the $283,496 incurred as general and administrative expenses during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001, $225,000 was incurred payable to Investor
Communications International, Inc. ("ICI") for services rendered by ICI
including, but not limited to, financial, administrative and investor relations
management. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company paid
$-0- to ICI towards an aggregate amount of $456,896 due and owing ICI, but
issued shares of common stock as settlement of the aggregate debt. A director of
the Company is employed by ICI and is part of the management team provided by
ICI to the Company.
Selling and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $39,885 during
the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, from $33,885 incurred during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to ($6,000) incurred during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in selling and marketing
expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to
the Company's termination of the development of its software programs and
upgrades, the withdrawal of its software products and services from the
marketplace, and the discontinuation of marketing itself as a technology-based
company.
Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $5,000 during
the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, from $5,000 incurred during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to $-0- incurred during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in research and development
expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to
the termination of the development of the Company's software products and
upgrades to existing products.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company realized a net
gain on disposal of its subsidiary of $ 107,505 as compared to $-0- realized
during the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. This gain resulted from the
sale on June 30, 2001 of the Company's entire interest in its subsidiary,
Eduverse.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company realized a net
loss from discontinued operations in the amount of $ 112,182 as compared to $
465,588 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. This loss resulted from
the discontinued business operations involving the Company's software products.
As discussed above, the decrease in net loss during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 is
attributable primarily to the reduction of the loss of $112,182 compared to
$465,588 from discontinued operations and the gain on sale of Eduverse.. The
Company's net earnings (losses) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001
were approximately ($288,173) or ($0.51) per common share compared to a net loss
of approximately ($596,950) or ($2.18) per common share during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000. The weighted average of common shares outstanding
were 566,653 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to 273,705
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, after giving retroactive effect to
the fifty for one share consolidation completed on June 8, 2001.
10
Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended June
30, 2000
The Company's net income during the three-month period ended June 30, 2001
was approximately $118,308 compared to a net loss of approximately $312,652.
Gross revenues during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
were $1,842 and $5,294, respectively. Gross revenues decreased by approximately
$3,452 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the
three-month period ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in gross revenues was
primarily due to the Company's decision to discontinue retail sales of its
English Pro 6.2 product.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded
operating expenses from continued operations of 11,438 compared to $68,464 of
operating expenses recorded in the same period for 2000 (a decrease of $67,976
or 403%). Operating expenses consisted only of general and administrative
expenses, which decreased by $46,798 during the three-month period ended June
30, 2001 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. This decrease
in general and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended June
30, 2001 was primarily due to the withdrawal of the Company's software products
and services from the marketplace, the discontinuation of marketing itself as a
technology-based company, and the general cessation of all business operations
resulting from shareholder approval of the Share Purchase Agreement."
There were no selling and marketing expenses incurred during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $23,007 incurred during
the three-month period ended June 30, 2000period ended June 30, 2001. There were
no research and development expenses incurred during either three-month period
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company realized a
net gain on disposal of its subsidiary of $107, 505 as compared to $-0- realized
during the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. This loss resulted from the
sale on June 30, 2001 of the Company's entire interest in its subsidiary,
Eduverse.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company realized a
net gain from discontinued operations in the amount of $22,241 as compared to
the realization of a net loss from discontinued operations in the $244,188
during the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. The gain resulted from
re-negotiation of certain accounts payable and the corresponding loss resulted
from the discontinuation of its business operations involving the Company's
software products.
As discussed above, the decrease in net loss during the three-month period
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 is
attributable primarily to the realization of the gain of $107,505 compared to
$-0- during the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 relating to the sale of
the Company's subsidiary and to the realization of a gain of $22,241 compared to
a loss of $244,188 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 relating to
the discontinued operations. The Company's net earnings (losses) during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2001 were approximately or $0.16 per common
share compared to a net loss of approximately ($312,652) or ($1.13) per common
share during the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. The weighted average of
common shares outstanding were 750,130 for the three-month period ended June 30,
2001 compared to 273,705 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000, after
giving retroactive effect to the fifty for one share consolidation completed on
June 8, 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company is currently experiencing a liquidity crisis and must raise
additional capital. Further, the Company has not generated sufficient cash flow
to fund its operations and activities. Historically, the Company has relied upon
internally generated funds, funds from the sale of shares of stock and loans
from its shareholders and private investors to finance its operations and
growth. The Company's future success and viability are entirely dependent upon
the Company's current management to successfully research and identify new
business endeavors, and to raise additional capital through further private
offerings of its stock or loans from private investors. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully research and
identify new business endeavors and to raise additional capital. The Company's
failure to successfully identify new business endeavors and to raise additional
capital will have a material and adverse affect upon the Company and its
shareholders. The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming
that it will continue as a going concern, and accordingly, do not include
adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue in operations.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company's current assets were $403 and its current
liabilities were $114,543, which resulted in a working capital deficit of
$73,296. The Company's current assets consist of cash. As of the six-month
period ended June 30, 2001, the Company's total assets were $403 compared to
total assets of $120,786 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. This
decrease in total assets from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 was due
primarily to a decrease in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company's current liabilities were $114,543 and
consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As of the six-month period
ended June 30, 2001, the Company's total liabilities were $114,543 compared to
total liabilities of $682,737 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. This
decrease in total liabilities from fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 was due
primarily to a substantial decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
and notes payable. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, loans
payable in the amount of $193,776 were settled by execution of settlement
agreements with the respective creditors and issuance by the Company of
restricted shares of Common Stock. See "Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of
Proceeds."
Stockholders' equity (deficit) decreased from ($561,951) for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2000 to ($114,140) for the six-month period ended June
30, 2001.
The Company has not generated positive cash flows from continuing operating
activities. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, net cash from
operating activities was $2,780 compared to cash of $553,032 used for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 (a decrease of $555,812). As noted above,
although net loss of $288,173 decreased during the six-month period ended June
30, 2001 from a net loss of $596,950 during the six-month period ended June 30,
2000, the decrease in net cash used for continuing operating activities was
comprised primarily of $238,202 in stock issued as payment for services compared
to $90,853 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000.
12
The Company's investing activities consisted of $-0- during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the purchase of capital assets totaling
$3,148 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2000.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, net cash used in financing
activities was $2,377 compared to $600,401 provided during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2000.. See "Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds."
Current management of the Company anticipates a possible increase in
operating expenses in order to successfully research and identify new business
endeavors. The Company may finance these expenses with further issuance of
common stock of the Company. The Company believes that any anticipated private
placements of equity capital and debt financing, if successful, may be adequate
to fund the Company's operations over the next four months. Thereafter, the
Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to meet long-term
operating requirements. The Company may encounter business endeavors 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
may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or
opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict the Company's
business operations.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On approximately May 17, 2001, a complaint was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission against the Company ("SEC Complaint HO-309021"). The SEC
Complaint HO-309021 involves a previous investor of the Company who had
subscribed for shares of restricted Common Stock during October 2000 pursuant to
a subscription agreement and who subsequently attempted to rescind the
transaction. On May 31, 2001, the Company answered SEC Complaint HO-309021. As
of the date of this Quarterly Report, management of the Company believes that
the potential damages sought by the investor are based on groundless causes of
action. Management intends to aggressively continue its defense, and to further
review its potential legal actions and legal remedies.
Except as disclosed above, management is not aware of any other legal
proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or other party involving
the Company or its properties. No director, officer or affiliate of the Company
is (i) a party adverse to the Company in any legal proceedings, or (ii) has an
adverse interest to the Company in any legal proceedings. Management is not
aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened
against the Company or its properties.
