At the execution of a settlement agreement between Eduverse and ICI dated
December 12, 2001 (the "Settlement Agreement"), 249,870 shares of restricted
common stock of Eduverse were issued to ICI. The consideration exchanged for the
securities of Eduverse was the release and satisfaction by ICI of a debt owed by
Eduverse in the principal amount with accrued interest of $37,480.55. A copy of
the Settlement Agreement between Eduverse and ICI 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 ICI as follows:
(i) Eduverse had incurred debt inclusive of accrued interest in the
aggregate amount of $37,480.55 with ICI for either past financial,
administrative and managerial services performed by ICI pursuant to
contractual relations and/or prior advances made by ICI to Eduverse.
(ii) Eduverse entered into the Settlement Agreement with ICI whereby ICI
agreed to settle the debt owed to it by Eduverse and accept the
issuance of restricted common shares of Eduverse at the rate of $0.15
per share as settlement for all interest and principle due and
outstanding to ICI 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 ICI for satisfaction of such debt.
Pursuant to the instructions for items (a) through (j) of Item 4, ICI has
plans as follows:
(a) As set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule, ICI has acquired 249,870
shares of restricted common stock of Eduverse, resulting in an
aggregate record holding of 554,470 shares. As set forth in Item 2 of
this Schedule, Nessa Financial Corp. is the sole shareholder of ICI
and Marcus M. Johnson is the sole director, president,
secretary/treasurer of ICI. ICI and Johnson may consider the
acquisition of additional securities of Eduverse, the issuer, but have
no present plans or proposals to do so.
(b) Neither ICI, Nessa nor Johnson have any present plans or proposals to
cause a merger or effect a liquidation or reorganization of Eduverse
or to enter into extraordinary corporate transactions.
(c) Neither ICI, Nessa nor Johnson have any present plans or proposals to
cause a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Eduverse.
(d) Johnson plans to exercise the voting rights associated with ownership
of shares of common stock of Eduverse.
(e) Neither ICI, Nessa nor Johnson have any present plans or proposals to
cause a material change in the capitalization of Eduverse.
(f) Neither ICI, Nessa nor Johnson have any present plans or proposals to
make any other material change to the business or corporate structure
of Eduverse.
(g) Neither ICI, Nessa nor Johnson have any 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) Neither ICI, Nessa nor Johnson have any present plans or proposals to
cause Eduverse's common stock from not being quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board.
(i) Neither ICI, Nessa nor Johnson have any 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) Neither ICI, Nessa nor Johnson have any 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 December 12, 2001, ICI beneficially
owned 554,470 shares (or approximately 55.45% of the outstanding

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of this 12th day of December, 2001 by and
between Eduverse.com, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") and Investor
Communications International, Inc. ("Investor").
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Investor has performed consulting and management services for
the Company in the past whereby the Company is indebted to Investor in the
aggregate amount of $37,480.55 for certain financial, administrative and
managerial services performed by Investor, and/or advances provided by Investor,
and/or accrued interest on unpaid amounts due to Investor thereunder; and
WHEREAS, the Company is indebted to Investor for repayment of such
aggregate amount of $37,480.55; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Investor acknowledge that the aggregate amount of
$37,480.55 is due and owing Investor (the "Debt"); and
WHEREAS, the Company agrees to issue to Investor 249,870 shares of its
restricted common stock at $0.15 per share (the "Shares") as full and complete
satisfaction of the Debt pursuant to Company Board of Directors authorized
resolution dated December 12, 2001.
AGREEMENT
1. The Company shall issue to Investor 249,870 shares in full and complete
satisfaction of the Debt.
2. Investor agrees to accept the issuance and delivery of 249,870 Shares in
full settlement and satisfaction of the Debt, and further agrees to release and
forever discharge the Company from any and all causes of action, debts, sums of
money, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, related to the Debt.
3. Investor is aware that the Shares are not being registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Investor understands
that the Shares are being issued in reliance on the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) thereunder. Investor understands that it may be
required to bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period
of time because there is currently no trading market for the Shares and the
Shares cannot be resold or otherwise transferred unless applicable federal and
state securities laws are complied with or exemptions therefrom are available.
4. Investor represents and warrants that the Shares are being acquired
solely for Investor's own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a
view to or in connection with, any resale or distribution. Investor understands
that the Shares are nontransferable unless the Shares are registered under the
Securities 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.
Investor further understands that the Company has no obligations to register the
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. Investor 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 December 12, 2001,
and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective assigns and successors.
