COMMERCIAL CONCEPTS, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDING MAY 31, 2000 AND 1999
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Operations The Company creates proprietary software platforms. From
these platforms individual internet related database software products are
developed. As each product completes beta testing the Company seeks a
distribution partner to market and provide ongoing support for the product.
Development Stage Classification - Commercial Concepts, Inc. was incorporated in
the state of Utah on March 1, 1984. Until February 28, 1998, the Company has
been defined as a development stage company because it had not commenced planned
principal operations and did not have operational revenues, but only sold its
common stock to the public. In November 1997, the Company experienced a change
in its Board of Directors and management. Under the new management the Company
engaged in the purchasing of computer software products and in marketing and
distributing them, and effective March 1, 1998, has been an operating company
not subject to development stage company disclosures.
The Company has elected a February Fiscal year end for accounting and reporting
purposes.
Provision for income taxes - No provision for income taxes has been made in the
financial statements due to operating losses. The State of Utah franchise taxes
have been included in operating expenses in the statements of operations. Income
tax expense includes federal and state taxes currently payable and deferred
income taxes arising from temporary differences between income for financial
reporting and income tax purposes. These differences result principally from
depreciable assets where different methods of depreciation are used and the
allowances for bad debt which is not deductible for income tax purposes. Due to
operating losses no provision for deferred income taxes has been made.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a
first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist of packaged software and related
packaging supplies, for the period ending February 28, 1999.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Equipment - The cost of equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives
of the related assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated
(amortized) over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method
for financial reporting purposes and on the MACRS method for income tax
purposes.

COMMERCIAL CONCEPTS, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2000 AND 1999, CONTINUED
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually
for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the
period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities
NOTE 2 - PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK
At inception, the Company offered and sold 1,000,000 shares of its authorized
but unissued stock to the public. An offering price of $.10 per share was
determined by the Company.
In May 1996, the Company commenced a private offering of common stock pursuant
to an exemption from registration under Regulation D of the Security and
Exchange Commission. 92,050 shares were sold and a total of $460,205 in capital
was raised.
Since inception the Company has privately sold for cash and exchanged common
stock for services and property at various times. A private sale of restricted
common stock issued in April, 2000 included 500,000 two-year warrants to
purchase common shares of the Company at a price of $0.50 in the first year and
$0.75 in the second year. There are no other options or warrants outstanding to
acquire the stock of the Company as of May 31, 2000.
NOTE 3 - SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company's policy is to expense research and development costs until
technological feasibility is reached and all related research and development
activities are completed, subsequent production expenses to bring the product to
market are then capitalized. Capitalization of software costs is discontinued
when the product is available for general release to customers. No amortization
of capitalized software costs has been included in the accompanying statements
of operations.
At the end of February 2000, two of the Company's products had completed their
research and development stages. Market beta testing for both products commenced
in March 2000. For the three months ended May 31, expenses incurred in market
testing and development of these products totaling $231,997 were capitalized.
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the
Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial
losses. In addition, the Company has used almost all of its working capital and
has stockholders' deficits from inception, which raise substantial doubt as to
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)
In view of these matters, continued existence of the Company is dependent upon
its ability to develop working capital and to attract equity investment, in
order to meet current and future creditors' demands and to attain future
profitable operations. In order to develop additional working capital and
attract continued equity investment the Company has reorganized management,
formulated a new business plan, and developed and marketed new business
products. Management believes that the actions presently being taken will
provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 8 - PURCHASE OF ADVICE PRODUCTIONS, INC.
On June 10, 1999, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Advice
Productions, Inc. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The
total purchase price was $200,000, paid in 1,000,000 shares of restricted
Company common stock valued at $.20 per share. The Company received accounts
receivable, equipment, and liabilities, but the purchase price exceeded the fair
value of net assets received by $200,000, which excess will be recorded as
goodwill in the financial statements. Simultaneous with the acquisition, the
Company entered into a five year employment contract with the principal of the
seller, which set forth, among other matters, the manner in which compensation
will be computed, and also allowed for bonuses and profit sharing. Advice
Productions, Inc. was previously operated as a sole proprietorship, but
incorporated immediately prior to the acquisition, and therefore had no
corporate operations to be combined with Company operations.

as a result of the original acquisition of Advice Productions, $80,000 was

NOTE 11 - LEASE COMMITMENTS, CONT.
As of February 28, 1998, the Company leased office space for $2,885 per month
for 12 months and had an option to purchase the leased space for $225,000 with a

the purchase option as of February 28, 1998, has expired.
NOTE 12 - LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
The Company was a defendant in litigation wherein the plaintiff sought
rescission and monetary damages in connection with the purchase of 50,000 shares
of company common stock directly from a former officer of the Company. Without
authorization from the Board of Directors, the former officer made certain
promises and incurred certain obligations in connection with the stock sale,
which the Company subsequently determined it could not legally fulfill.
On December 21, 1999, this lawsuit was mutually settled and dismissed. All
parties have waived all claims, liabilities and demands. As a part of the
settlement, the Company has agreed to issue 360,000 shares of restricted common
stock to the plaintiff.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Sales deceased by $37,503 to $18,207 for the three months ended May 31,
2000 from $55,709 for the three months ended May 31, 1999. The decrease was the
result of the Company's decision to concentrate activity on the development and
testing of new products instead of customizing software and computer products
for clients.
Marketing and selling expenses increased by $1,550 to $1,750 for the
three months ended May 31, 2000 from $200 for the comparable period in 1999. The
marketing expenditures in the most recent quarter are low due to lack of
commissionable sales. In the comparable period in 1999 the Company had not yet
commenced significant marketing efforts for its Quick Fixx 2000 software. The
Company expects its marketing and selling expenses to increase in future periods
as it acquires or develops additional technology products and services.
Salaries and wages increased by $74,154 to $98,268 in the three months
ended May 31, 2000 from $24,114 in the comparable period in 1999. This increase
was largely offset by a $66,781 decline in consulting fees between the periods,
from $90,281 to $23,500. Over the last twelve months the Company moved to
replace consulting expenditures with employee salaries. Remaining general and
administrative expenses other than marketing, salaries and consulting fees
increased by $9,692 or 16% to $72,617 for the three months ended May 31, 2000
from $62,295 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase reflects the
Company's increased levels of activity related to its product development
program.
The Company's expenditures for services paid for with restricted common
stock increased $134,140 to $153,298 for the three months ended may 31, 2000
compared to $19,158 for the comparable period in 1999. These expenditures using
restricted common stock recognized the efforts of certain Company programmers
and management in the development of Company products and systems.
The Company capitalized $231,997 in product development expenditures in
the three months ended May 31, 2000. Two of the Company's proprietary software
products were in active beta testing
13
<PAGE>
throughout the three-month period, as a final step before commercial release. In
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, all costs related to
this testing period have been capitalized. There were no product development
expenditures capitalized in the comparable period for 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At May 31, 2000, the Company had cash and other current assets of
$401,450 compared to cash and other current assets of $111,501 at May 31, 1999.
The increase of $289,949 results primarily from various private placements of
the Company's common stock.
The Company borrowed $15,000 from an individual and an additional
$10,000 from a second individual, neither of which are shareholders of the
Corporation, in August of 1999, pursuant to promissory notes, at the rate of 10%
per annum with each note being respectively due and payable on February 12, 2000
and February 16, 2000. Both promissory notes remained outstanding at year-end
and both were converted into restricted common shares of the Company in April of
2000.
During the three months ended May 31, 2000, the Company generated
