NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the information
required herein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. The results of operations for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations to be expected for the full year.
2. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Voicenet, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was
incorporated on April 2, 1996. The Company was established for the
marketing and distribution of continuous speech and voice recognition
systems. The Company has had minimal sales and, has incurred losses
since inception. The Company is majority owned by Voicenet (Aust.) Ltd.
("VNA") an Australian company.
3. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented.
The effect of stock options and warrants on the net loss per share was
anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
4. PURCHASE OF TECHNOLOGY
On August 1, 1996, the Company entered into a Technology and Sales
Agreement (the "technology agreement") with VNA to acquire certain
exclusive rights and ownership with respect to the development, use,
marketing, sales and distribution of a continuous computer based
digital voice compression, recognition and recording technology. The
term of the agreement is for the longer of 25 years or the life of any
patents and extensions granted under the patent applications.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS:
The Company had no revenues from continuing operations through the six months
ended June 30, 1999. The Company has incurred losses since its inception in
1996. The Company's losses incurred since inception have resulted principally
from professional, marketing and travel expenditures incurred in connection with
its capital raising activities and from amortization of intangibles and
stock-based compensation. The Company expects to incur operating costs and
possible losses there from over the next several years due primarily to expanded
sales and marketing efforts, including the establishment of product sales
office, the staffing of such office and other marketing activities and costs to
be incurred as they seek potential customers for the Company's products.
There can be no assurance of when and whether the Company will generate revenue
or become profitable on a sustained basis, if at all. Although the Company
anticipates sales to commence shortly, results of operations may vary
significantly from quarter to quarter due to timing of payments and other
factors. The timing of revenues, if any, may not match the timing of associated
product development and other expenses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000; AS COMPARES WITH JUNE
30, 1999
Net losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was $482,362 as compared
to $193,106 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. There were no revenues
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 or for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1999. Total general and administrative expenses were $195,233 for 2000
as compared to $27,786 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999.
As noted in its Form 8K filing dated May 16, 2000, the Company entered into a
sales, licensing and marketing agreement with RimpexChile, S.A. on April 26,
2000 with respect to the licensing of its technology. The agreement requires
Rimpex to pay the Company a 20% royalty, as defined, with respect to all gross
revenues of the products, as defined, tin the territory.
In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company commenced amortizing its intangible
asset over a twenty-five year useful life. In the third quarter of 1999, the
Company revised the estimated life of the intangible asset to seven years.
Amortization expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was $355,000
as compared to $165,400 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a working capital of $2,729,778 as of December 31, 1999, in
comparison to working capital of $2,879,623 as of June 30, 2000. The additional
working capital was primarily due to the exercise of certain stock options and
warrants. The increase in the accumulated deficit is primarily related to
continuing operating costs and to amortization expense with minimal operating
and / or investment income. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, the
Company's cash requirements were satisfied from the cash reserves in its
operating and investment accounts and from proceeds received from the exercise
of stock options and warrants.
-8-
<PAGE>
The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, are sufficient
to meet its operating expense and capital expenditures for at least the next
twelve months. The Company's future capital requirements, however, will depend
on numerous factors including (i) the effectiveness of product commercialization
and marketing activities, including the creation and progress of its sales and
marketing activities (ii) the effect of competing technological and marketing
developments, from competitors that have greater resources than the Company.
However, if operating expenses are higher than expected or if cash flows from
operations are lower than anticipated, there can be no assurance that the
Company will have sufficient resources available to it on terms that are
satisfactory to the Company.
OTHER MATTERS
Filings Submitted on Form 8-K
During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company submitted Report on Form 8-K
dated May 16, 2000, relating a to certain Sales, Licensing and Marketing
agreement entered into between RimpexChile, S.A. and Voicenet, Inc.
