QUORUM AND VOTING
The record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the Annual Meeting was the close of business on May 15th, 2000
(the "Record Date"). On the Record Date, there were 24,632,404 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters to be
acted upon at the Annual Meeting, and neither the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") nor its Bylaws allow for
cumulative voting rights. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of
a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote at the
meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum to transact business. If a quorum is
not present or represented at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders entitled to
vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, may adjourn the Annual Meeting from
time to time without notice or other announcement until a quorum is present or
represented. Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a
plurality of votes cast is required for the election of each of the nominees for
director. A majority of the votes represented and entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting will be required for the approval of all other matters to be voted upon.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted towards the presence of a
quorum, but (i) will not be counted as votes cast and, accordingly, will have no
effect on the plurality vote required for the election of directors, and (ii)
will be counted as votes represented at the Annual Meeting and, accordingly,
will have the effect of a vote "against" all other matters to be acted upon.
Proxies in the accompanying form which are properly executed and returned
to the Company will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the
instructions contained in such proxies and, at the discretion of the proxy
holders, on such other matters as may properly come before the meeting. Where no
such instructions are given, the shares will be voted for the election of each
of the nominees for director and the ratification of Clancy and Co P.L.L.C. as
the independent auditor.
A stockholder that intends to present a proposal at the 2001 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy
relating to such meeting must submit such proposal by January 31st, 2001. The
proposal must be mailed to the Company's offices at Suite 311, 15 Wertheim
Court, Richmond Hill, Ontario L4B 3H7.

THE COMPANY
WhatsOnline.com, Inc. ("WhatsOnline" or the "Company") operates a media
streaming portal website (www.whatsonline.com) and a website focused on the home
improvement market (www.callapro.com) . The Company was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Utah on July 14, 1983, under the name of Far West Gold,
Inc. On June 30, 1997, the stockholders authorized a name change to American
Alliance Corporation and authorized a change in the state of registration from
Utah to Nevada. In January, 1999, the company entered into the field of targeted
Internet streaming with the launch of www.eviewonline.com which was subsequently
merged with www.whatsonline.com . On May 20, 1999, the Company changed its name
to WhatsOnline.com, Inc.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Callapro.com and Whatsonline.com are wholly owned online assets of
WhatsOnline.com, Inc. Callapro.com (www.callapro.com), is an online marketplace
providing expert advice and services to homeowners through a network of
qualified home improvement professionals, a comprehensive resource center, with
links to over 10,000 third party home-related web sites, informative feature
articles, and a broad suite of valuable proprietary tools.
Using our free quote service and comprehensive resource center, homeowners
visiting Callapro.com are able to intelligently find, select and work with home
improvement professionals. Professionals, who are members of Callapro.com's
professional network, are able to grow their business by responding to a
homeowner's request for a quote.
Whatsonline.com was developed as an aggregator and presentation portal for
targeted Internet streaming media content. Visitors to www.whatsonline.com are
able to access audio and video streamed news, entertainment, sports, fashion,
finance, medicine, technology, politics, religion and education online, along
with an array of additional offerings from leading content providers, worldwide.
www.whatsonline.com
- -------------------
The Company's website www.whatsonline.com was developed as an aggregator
and presentation portal for targeted Internet streaming media content.
Streaming media technology has enhanced the graphical capabilities of the
Internet. Prior to streaming technology, users could not play audio or video
clips until they had been downloaded in their entirety, resulting in significant
waiting times.
Traditionally, web servers have functioned by transmitting information
requests as quickly as possible, disconnecting, and then serving other requests.
Web browsers receive this information and assemble it on the computer screen for
viewing. This type of transmission works well for static graphics and text;
however, it is very problematic for moving images and sound from video,
animation and music because the files are very large and cannot be transmitted
in a reasonable time frame. The download time for these large files, even a
short video clip, is, for most users, unbearable.
With streaming media technology, data is transmitted to the user as the
media is viewed, in a continuous
3
<PAGE>
connection. This continuous stream is similar to watching television or
listening to the radio, where the images or audio is received just before you
see the image or hear the sounds. The advantage of streaming media technology
over television and radio, however, is that the user may view or listen to the
clip at any time, rather than when the radio or television station chooses to
air it.
www.callapro.com
- ----------------
The Company's website, www.callapro.com , is an online marketplace
providing expert advice and services to homeowners through a network of
qualified home improvement professionals, a comprehensive resource center, with
links to over 10,000 third party home-related web sites, informative feature
articles, and a broad suite of valuable proprietary tools.
Using our free quote service and comprehensive resource center, homeowners
visiting Callapro.com are able to intelligently find, select and work with home
improvement professionals. Professionals, who are members of Callapro.com's
professional network, are able to grow their business by responding to a
homeowner's request for a quote.
The home improvement marketplace is one of the largest and most fragmented
markets in North America. According to the National Association of Home
Builders, over $126 billion dollars were spent on residential home improvements
projects in 1999. Serving this marketplace is an estimated 900,000 mostly
independent home- improvement professionals (tradesmen, contractors, designers
and architects).
Employees
- ---------
At December 31, 1999, the Company employed 13 full time and 1 part-time
person. To the best of the Company's knowledge, none of the Company's officers
or directors is bound by restrictive covenants from prior employers. None of the
Company's employees are represented by labor unions or other collective
bargaining groups. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to
be excellent.
Intellectual Property
- ---------------------
The Company relies on a combination of trademark, copyright law, trade
secret protection, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements
with employees, vendors and others to protect its rights to intellectual
property. Theses measures, however, may be inadequate to deter misappropriation
of proprietary information. The Company has begun the process to trademark its
name in the United States and certain European countries. Effective trademark,
copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in
which WhatsOnline offers or intend to offer its services. Failure to adequately
protect its intellectual property could harm the Company's brand, devalue its
proprietary content and affect the Company's ability to compete effectively.
Environmental Matters
- ---------------------
The Company believes it conducts its business in compliance with all
environmental laws presently applicable to its facilities. To date, there have
been no expenses incurred by the Company related to environmental issues.
Government Regulation
- ---------------------
The Company is not subject to any direct governmental regulation other than
the securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies,
and laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally.

WhatsOnline.com, Inc. Callapro.com (www.callapro.com), is an online marketplace

qualified home improvement professionals, a comprehensive resource center, with

able to access audio and video streamed news, entertainment, sports, fashion,
finance, medicine, technology, politics, religion and education online, along
with an array of additional offerings from leading content providers, worldwide.
To date, the Company has incurred significant ongoing operating losses due
to costs related to business development, website development, management and
staff recruitment and other costs associated with establishing corporate
infrastructure necessary for expanding on a national basis. Although planned
principal operations have commenced, there have been no significant revenues
derived therefrom.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Revenues. The Company did not generate revenues for the year ended December 31,
1999, compared to $66,426 for 1998. Fiscal 1998 revenues were generated by the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Rowland Carmichael & Associates, Inc.
General and Administrative Expenses. During 1999, the Company incurred $747,990
in general and administrative expenses, an increase of 111% over 1998 expenses
of $355,022. The increase is primarily attributable to additional salary and
operating expenses related to the development and launch the Company's websites.
Interest Income. Interest income was $33,331 and $71,057 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Interest earned in the future will be
dependent on Company funding cycles and prevailing interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's accumulated
deficit was $1,537,618 and as a result, there has been no provision for income
taxes to date.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
At December 31, 1999, the Company had a cash balance of $1,905,478,
compared to a cash balance of $1,225,276 at December 31, 1998.
During 1999, the Company used $606,622 of net cash from operating
activities as compared to $187,116 of net cash used in 1998. The increase in the
net cash used in operating activities was due mainly to the increase in the
6
<PAGE>
net loss between years. As at December 31, 1999, the Company had $20,726 in
accounts payable, an increase of $2,912, or 16%, over the amount of $17,814 as
December 31, 1998.
Net cash used in investing activities was $253,176 for 1999, compared to
net cash used of $38,921 for 1998. The increase in the net cash used in
investing activities was due mainly to purchasing equipment for the Company's
websites in 1999 and the purchase of a domain name.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,540,000 for 1999 compared
to $0 for 1998. The Company has financed its operations primarily through
private placements of Common Shares and the exercise of stock options.
The Company's future funding requirements will depend on numerous factors.
These factors include the Company's ability to establish and profitably operate
its websites, recruit and train qualified management, technical and sales
personnel, and the Company's ability to compete against other, better
capitalized corporations who offer similar web based services.
Due to the "start up" nature of the Company's businesses, the Company
expects to incur losses as it expands. The Company expects to raise additional
funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range
and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or
public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be
available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at
all. See "Risk Factors" for additional details.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
WhatsOnLine.Com, Inc.
Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of WhatsOnLine.Com, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company), (the Company), and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period
from Inception (July 14, 1983) to December 31, 1999. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit of the financial statements provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of WhatsOnLine.Com,
Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company has been in the development stage since its
inception on July 14, 1983, and although planned principal operations have
commenced, there have been no significant revenues derived therefrom.

share. The Company changed its name to Far West Resources, Inc. on May 14,

value preferred stock. On September 22, 1997, the Company changed its name
and state of incorporation from Far West Resources, Inc., a Utah
Corporation, to American Alliance Corporation, a Nevada Corporation, with
the Nevada Corporation being the surviving corporation, and authorized a
decrease in the par value of capital stock. Preferred stock par value was
adjusted from $.10 to $.0001 and common stock par value was adjusted from
$.001 to $.00001. On May 4, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a forward
split, effective May 14, 1999, of the Company's common stock on a
two-for-one basis, with the par value remaining the same. All per share and
per share information have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the
decrease in par value of common stock and the stock splits.
On July 14, 1983, the Company, in connection with a 504D offering, issued
20,368 shares of common stock for cash at $.003 per share, or $15,000.
During October, 1984, the Company issued 52,036 shares of common stock at

net cash of $102,543.
For the year ended December 31, 1990, the Company received a capital
contribution of $4,364 to pay expenses of the Company.
For the year ended December 31, 1991, the Company received a capital
contribution of $100 to pay expenses of the Company.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
- ---------------------------------
On June 30, 1997, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock for
cash of $45,000 and $255,000 for services at $0.15 per share, or $300,000.

<PAGE>
On December 19, 1997, the Company issued 900,000 shares of common stock in
a 505 D offering memorandum at $1.00 per share, or $900,000. See Note 6.
On January 9, 1998, the Company organized American Alliance, Inc., its
wholly owned subsidiary, under the laws of the State of Nevada with an
authorized capital of 1,000 common shares, with a par value of $.001 per
share, and with one share issued to WhatsOnLine.Com, Inc.
On September 15, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common
stock of Rowland, Carmichael and Associates, Inc., an Arizona-based broker
dealer, for $29,000, for the development of an online brokerage service.
The book value of the assets acquired was $14,662 less cash acquired of
$3,388, for a net acquisition of $11,274. Excess of market value over book
value of assets acquired, or goodwill, was $14,338. Subsequent to the
acquisition, the Company decided not to enter into the business of Internet
brokerage services due to the capital infusion required for advertising and
marketing in order to attract and retain customers due to increased
competition in this industry. Due to the Company's change in business
direction, goodwill was determined to be permanently impaired and was
written off, and is included in operations, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of."
On February 9, 1999, the Company issued 12,000 shares of common stock for
the exercise of stock options at $.50 per share, or $6,000.
On March 9, 1999, the Company issued 6,000 shares of common stock for the
exercise of stock options at $.50 per share, or $3,000.
On April 16, 1999, the Company issued 62,000 shares of common stock for the
exercise of stock options at $.50 per share, or $31,000.
On December 23, 1999, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock
in completion of a private offering memorandum at $1.00 per share, or
$1,500,000.
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
- ---------------------------------
The Company is a development stage company, as defined in Financial
Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company is devoting substantially all
of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and
although its planned principal operations have commenced there have been no
significant revenues derived therefrom.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ----------------------------------------
A. Cash and Cash Equivalents
----------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of
three months or less when acquired to be cash and cash equivalents.
B. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
--------------------------------------------
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting.
C. Concentration of Credit Risk
-------------------------------
The Company maintains U.S. dollar cash balances in Canadian banks that
are not insured.
16
<PAGE>
D. Principles of Consolidation
------------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, American Alliance, Inc. and
Rowland, Carmichael, & Associates, Inc. All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
E. Property and Equipment
-------------------------
Property and Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the
assets, which is five years, for financial statement purposes, and on
accelerated methods for tax purposes. Repairs and maintenance are
charged to operations as incurred.
F. Revenue Recognition
----------------------
Revenues are recognized at time of performance of services.
G. Advertising
--------------
Advertising costs are expenses as incurred.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
- ----------------------------------------------------
H. Per Share of Common Stock
----------------------------
Basic earnings or loss per share is calculated based on net earnings
(loss) available to common stockholders and the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share includes additional dilution from potential
common stock, such as stock issuable upon the exercise of stock
options or the conversion of debt. All earnings or loss per share
amounts in the financial statements are basic earnings or loss per
share, as defined by ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Diluted
earnings or loss per share does not differ materially from basic
earnings or loss per share for all periods presented. All per share
and per share information have been adjusted retroactively to reflect
stock splits and changes in par value.
I. Income Taxes
---------------
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," by which deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse. See Note 5.
J. Foreign Currency Translation
-------------------------------
The Company used the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. Foreign
currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. Dollars at
end-of-period exchange rates except for fixed assets, which are
remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are
remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during each period,
except for those expenses related to balance sheet amounts that are
remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains or losses from foreign
currency remeasurement are included in net earnings.
17
<PAGE>
K. Intangible Assets
--------------------
Intangible assets represent the Company name and are recorded at cost
in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 17,
"Intangible Assets." The Company amortizes the intangible assets using
the straight-line method over the term of the specific agreements.
Continually, the Company evaluates whether the estimated useful life
used to amortize an intangible asset is appropriate due to changing
facts and circumstances resulting in increases or decreases in the
asset's estimated useful life, and records the change prospectively.
See Note 4.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
- ----------------------------------------------------
L. Organizational Costs
-----------------------
Organizational Costs are amortized over a period of sixty months
commencing on the date the Company begins normal operations.
M. Use of Estimates
-------------------
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ.
N. Comprehensive Income
-----------------------
The Company implemented SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Other Comprehensive
Income," effective January 1, 1998, which requires the disclosure of
comprehensive income to reflect changes in equity that result from
nonowner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income for the
period ended December 31, 1999, represents foreign currency
translation items associated with the Company's Canadian operations.
The implementation had no effect for the period ended December 31,
1998.
O. Business Segment Information
-------------------------------
The Company implemented SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," on January 1, 1998. The

presentation portal for targeted Internet streaming media content. The
Company offers a large, comprehensive selection of Internet
programming, including sports, news, business and finance, health and
medicine, technology, politics, and religion. Among other content, the
Company will broadcast live pay-per-view seminars and entertainment,
trade shows, conferences, and training events on worldwide basis.
P. Capital Structure
--------------------
The Company has implemented SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure," effective January 1, 1998, which established
standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital
structure. The implementation of SFAS No. 129 had no effect on the

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
- ----------------------------------------------------
Q. Pending Accounting Pronouncements
------------------------------------
It is anticipated that current pending accounting pronouncements will
not have an adverse impact on the financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
- -------------------------------
Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998
---- ----
<S> <C> <C>
Computer Equipment $202,652 $9,921
Furniture and Fixtures 10,445 0
Total 213,097 9,921
Less Accumulated Depreciation 17,362 1,984
Net Book Value $195,735 $7,937
</TABLE>
Depreciation expense charged to operations during 1999 and 1998 was
$15,378 and $1,984, respectively.
NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSET
- -------------------------
On March 8, 1999, the Company's subsidiary, American Alliance, Inc.,
entered into an agreement to acquire the domain name "WhatsOnLine.Com"
for consideration of $50,000. The agreement was completed on March 29,
1999, with all rights, title and interest in, and to, the domain name,
conveying effective immediately. The Company changed its name to
WhatsOnLine.Com, Inc., on May 20, 1999. Amortization of $ 1,250 is
included in operations for the year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------
There is no current or deferred tax expense for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, due to the Company's loss position. The
benefits of timing differences have not been previously recorded.
The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting
items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized,
as appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the
deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the
Company's ability to generate taxable income within the net operating
loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in
reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial
reporting purposes. The income tax effect of
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
- ---------------------------------
temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets and deferred
tax liabilities is a result of the following:
<TABLE>

The Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of
$1,537,619 and $827,959 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, for tax
purposes to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss
carryforwards expire principally beginning in the year 2013.
NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS
----------------------
The Company has two stock option plans that provide for the granting
of stock options to officers and key employees. The objectives of
these plans include attracting and retaining the best personnel,
providing for additional performance incentives, and promoting the
success of the Company by providing employees the opportunity to
acquire common stock. Options outstanding under the Company's two
stock option plans have been granted at prices which are either equal
to or above the market value of the stock on the date of grant, of
which 1,620,000 expire November 5, 2007 and 800,000 expire on December
16, 2007 (under the 1997 Stock Option Plan), and 2,400,000 which
expire on December 1, 2008 (under the 1998 Stock Option Plan).
The status of the Company's stock option plans are summarized below as
of December 31: Number of Option Shares Price Granted Under the 1997
Stock Option Plan 2,500,000 $1.00 Granted Under the 1998 Stock Option
Plan 2,400,000 1.00 Options Outstanding at December 31, 1998 4,900,000
1.00 Exercised Under the 1997 Stock Option Plan (80,000) 1.00 Options
Outstanding at December 31, 1999 4,820,000 $1.00
NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
- ----------------------------------
In accordance with the two stock option plan agreements, adjustments
have been made to the common stock granted for the forward split,
effective May 14, 1999, on a two-for-one basis. The option price
payable per share was not changed.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic
value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," under which no
compensation cost for stock options is recognized for stock options
awards granted at or above fair market value. Had compensation expense
for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined under
SFAS No. 123, based on the fair market value at the grant dates, the
Company's pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share would
have been reflected as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998

using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumption used for those options granted in 1998 and
1997, respectively: dividend yield of 0% and 0%, expected volatility
of 76% and 173%, risk-free interest rates of 5% and 5%, and expected
lives of 10 years and 10 years.

900,000 shares at $2.00 per share, the Company also issued 900,000
warrants to purchase common shares at $2.00 per share until December
