NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
JANUARY 31, 2000
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. These
statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ( the
"SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in the financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect
all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position
and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's financial statements and notes thereto for the
year ended October 31, 1999, included in the Company's Form
10KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
general 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 statement
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
New Visual Entertainment, Inc. ("NVE") (formerly known as
Siliwood) and its subsidiaries, NV Entertainment ("NV") and
Impact Pictures, Inc. ("IP") (collectively, the "Company").
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company, (previously known as Bellwether Investment Inc.),
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on
December 5, 1985. On October 18, 1995, the Company acquired
all of the outstanding shares of Siliwood Entertainment
Corporation ("Siliwood"), a development-stage company with no
operations. The Company issued 5,911,592 shares of common
stock to the shareholders of Siliwood to effect the reverse
acquisition. The reverse acquisition was accounted for as a
recapitalization and was accounted for in a manner similar to
a pooling of interest. The Company then changed its name to
Siliwood Entertainment Corporation.

NEW VISUAL ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
JANUARY 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
On June 10, 1996, the Company acquired certain assets and
assumed various liabilities from Infinity Vision Entertainment
("IVE"). Immediately following the purchase, Siliwood changes
its name to New Visual Entertainment, Inc. ("NVE").
Accordingly, former IVE partners have an interest in NVE
(formerly known as Siliwood) stock. The acquisition of these
assets and the assumption of these liabilities has been
accounted for as a purchase and the costs were allocated based
on fair market value. There were no operations of NVE prior to
acquisition. The Company is currently engaged in the
development, design and distribution of software techniques,
videos and theaters for stereoscopic (3-D) authoring and
visualization.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
performed in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
going-concern. As of January 31, 2000, the Company has a
stockholders' deficiency of $73,009, a working capital
deficiency of $295,315 and an accumulated deficit of
$12,583,566.
The Company has continued losses in each of its years of
operation, negative cash flow and liquidity problems. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the consolidated
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability of reported
assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern.
The Company has been able to continue based upon the financial
support of certain of its stockholders and the continued
existence of the company is dependent upon this support and
its ability to acquire assets by the issuance of stock.
Management's plans in this regard are to receive the continued
support of the stockholders and/or to obtain other financing
until profitable operation and positive cash flow are achieved
and maintained. There can be no guarantee that the
stockholders will provide this support.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risks, are principally trade
accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for
uncollectible accounts receivable and, generally, does not
require collateral. At January 31, 2000, no allowance for
uncollectible accounts was deemed necessary by management.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be
cash or cash equivalents.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets which generally range from five to seven
years. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to
operations as incurred.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consists of a stereoscopic imaging
technology and the rights to certain stereoscopic/3-D titles.
These costs are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable
value and will be amortized over their estimated economic life
of 5 years. These costs are evaluated quarterly to determine
the net realizable value. During the year ended October 31,
1997, a valuation allowance of $330,893 was charged to
operations related to such assets.
FILM AND VIDEO LIBRARY AND PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Film and video library and projects under development are
stated at the lower of amortized cost or market. Upon
completion, costs are amortized on an individual production
basis in the proportion that current gross revenues bear to
management's estimate of total gross revenues with such
estimates being reviewed at least quarterly. In prior years,
several projects under development were determined to have no
estimated realizable value and were accordingly written-off.
Project costs written-off during the three months ended
January 31, 1999 and the three months ended January 31, 2000
were $43,750 and $10,884, respectively. For the three months
ended January 31, 1999 and the three months ended January 31,
2000, amortization expense related to the film and video
library was $20,290 and $15,406, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (SFAS No. 109). SFAS No. 109 employs an asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the
asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are
recognized for tax consequences of temporary differences by
applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future
years to difference between the financial statement carrying
amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred income taxes of a
change in tax rates is recognized income in the period that
includes the enactment date.

ACCOUNTING 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, disclosures 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.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Quoted market prices generally are not available for all of
the Company's financial instruments. Accordingly, fair values
are based on judgements regarding current economic conditions,
risk characteristics of various financial instruments and
other factors. These estimates involve uncertainties and
matters of judgement and, therefore, cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect
the estimates.
A description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate
the fair value of each class of the Company's financial
instruments is as follows:
Cash, receivables, accounts payables and accrued expenses have
carrying amounts that approximate fair value due to the short
maturity of these instruments. Management was not able to
practically estimate the fair value of notes payable due to
their related party nature.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Substantially all revenues are derived from the production and
licensing of videos and commercial films. Revenue is
recognized over the shorter of the license term or the
expected revenue term.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.
Advertising expense for the three months ended January 31,
1999 and 2000 was $-0- and $15,528, respectively.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing
net income available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") gives effect to all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during a period.
In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method is used in
determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from
the conversion of common stock equivalents.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", the Company accounts for its stock-based
compensation arrangements pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". In accordance with
the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company discloses the
proforma effects of accounting for these arrangements using
the minimum value method to determine fair value.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
During 1996, the Company adopted the 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". Under the provisions of this statement, the
Company has evaluated its long-lived assets for financial
impairment, and will continue to evaluate them as events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
such assets may not be fully recoverable.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets
by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the
estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them.
At the time such evaluations indicate that the future
undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not
sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the
assets are adjusted to their fair values.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,"
which revises the accounting for software development costs
and will require the capitalization of certain costs. The
adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have an effect on the Company's
financial position or net income.

Wheel"), a development-stage California based, technology
company, for 2,000,000 restricted shares of New Visual common
stock. An additional 10,000,000 restricted shares of common
stock have been delivered to an escrow agent and will be
released to the New Wheel stockholders upon the achievement by
New Wheel of a technological development milestone. Additional
compensation would be paid to the New Wheel stockholders if
New Wheel's high speed digital transmission technology
generates revenues for the company in excess of $1 billion, or
if there is a sale of assets or stock, or a merger of New
Visual or any of its affiliates, in which the New Wheel
technology comprises at least 15% of the consideration. New
Wheel is presently working on developing a high speed digital
transmission technology over copper wire.
In connection with this acquisition, in February 2000, the
Company entered into two employment agreements for executive
services. The agreements provide for the Company to pay base
salaries of $208,000 each per annum and a bonus of $12,500
each upon execution of the agreement. The agreements expire on
September 14, 2000, with a renewal option between six months
and eleven months, based on certain milestones.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
GENERAL
- -------
The following is a discussion and analysis of the results of operations of the
Company and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements and related notes contained in this Form 10-QSB.
Certain information contained in this Form 10-QSB may contain forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations.
Among the factors that could affect the Company's actual results and could cause
results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements
contained herein is the Company's ability to commercialize its technologies
successfully, which will be dependent on business, financial and other factors
beyond the Company's control, including, among others, market acceptance,
ability to manufacture on a large scale basis and at feasible costs, together
with all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new enterprise and the
marketing and manufacturing of new products.
PLAN OF OPERATION
- -----------------
New Visual Entertainment, Inc. was founded with the mission to produce and
distribute high-impact 3D films for the growth oriented specialty venue markets,
such as theme parks, amusement parks, family entertainment centers and casinos.
The Company, through its proprietary technology, utilizes a low cost 3D
production and exhibition technology to compete in these markets. The Company
plans to use this proprietary technology to continue to produce high-quality,
cost effective 3D films and market them to venues not accessible to other 3D
systems and software providers due to cost prohibitiveness.
Through the use of this proprietary technology, the Company developed three new
feature films during 1998 and 1999. They were (1) "Wonder in Belize", an
underwater 3D film; (2) "Big Waves" in Hawaii; and (3) "A Day at the Beach", an
off-road and surfing lifestyle adventure. The Company also produced two
customer-driven productions in 1999: "Miss Hawaiian Tropic '99" for C3D, and
"Game On", a paintball film for JT USA.
With the production of the above films, the Company has strengthened its
position as a special venue content producer of 3D material. Additionally, it
has positioned itself to produce and distribute multi- media and alternative
format content for traditional and web-based consumption.
The Company's plan of operation for the 2000 fiscal year will consist of
activities aimed at:
o Investigating and, if appropriate, pursuing definitive agreements for
acquisitions believed by the Board to be consistent with the Company's
plan to develop and distribute 3D content over a variety of traditional
and new media (such as 3D films for special venues, computer software,
videotape, television and Internet distribution).
o Establishing strategic partnerships for the production, marketing,
sales, licensing and other distribution of the Company's 3D content.
o Developing new 3D content and otherwise expanding the Company's library
of 3D material.
o Acquiring additional studio production and editing equipment, cameras,
lenses, and mobile theater transport equipment.

PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
- -----------------
The Company believes, with the right strategic partnerships, it can function as
a full-scale production studio capable of financing, producing and distributing
3D and traditional content to multiple mass markets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
For the Three Months Ended January 31, 2000 vs. the Three Months Ended January
31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVENUES. There were no revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2000.
Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1999 were approximately $15,473.
COSTS AND EXPENSES. Cost and expense includes amortization of project costs,
writedown of project costs, depreciation of property and equipment, compensatory
element of stock issuances, acquired in-process research and development
expenses, and selling, general and administrative costs. Total costs and
expenses increased from $275,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1999 to
$284,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2000. The increase was
principally related to the increase in compensatory element of stock issuances
and a $50,000 charge to earnings for acquired in-process research and
development costs.
NET LOSS. The net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2000 was
approximately $284,000, as compared to a net loss for the three months ended
January 31, 1999 of $260,000. The increase in net loss is due to the increase in
compensatory element of stock issuances and a $50,000 charge to earnings for
acquired in-process research and development costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Operations have been financed through private sales of common stock resulting in
net proceeds of approximately $212,000 and $37,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 2000 and January 31, 1999, respectively. In addition, during these
periods, a substantial portion of expenses were paid by the issuance of stock.
Net cash used by operating activities approximated $252,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2000. Net cash used for operating activities for the three
months ended January 31, 2000 included $15,000 for new project production costs
and the funding of cash portions of selling, general and administrative costs of
$158,000, and reduction in accrued liabilities of $75,000. Net cash used by
operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 1999 approximated
$37,000. The Company's net loss of $260,000 and expenditures for new projects
costs of $86,000 were partially funded by an increase in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities of $225,000.
PROPOSED MERGER
- ---------------
In September 1999, the Company entered into a merger agreement with
Astounding.com, Inc. ("Astounding"). The merger agreement provides for the
Company to issue 10,000,000 shares of its common stock for all of the
outstanding shares of Astounding. The closing of the merger was subject to
various conditions including the receipt of a debt or equity financing of at
least $1,000,000 and requisite shareholder approval. During the three months
ended January 31, 2000, the Company terminated its previously announced merger
with Astounding because certain conditions had not been satisfied.

ACQUISITIONS
- ------------
In January 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the common
stock of Impact Pictures, Inc., a small development-stage San Diego-based
multi-media production firm, for 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
In February 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the common
stock of New Wheel Technology, Inc. ("New Wheel"), a development-stage
California based technology company, for 2,000,000 restricted shares of New
Visual's common stock. An additional 10,000,000 restricted shares of common
stock have been delivered to an escrow agent and will be released to the New
Wheel stockholders upon the achievement by New Wheel of a defined technological
development milestone. New Wheel is presently working on developing a high speed
digital transmission technology over copper wire.
GOING-CONCERN CONSIDERATION
- ---------------------------
The Company has continued losses in each of its years of operation, negative
cash flow and liquidity problems. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the consolidated Company's ability to continue as a going-concern. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability of reported assets or liabilities should the
Company be unable to continue as a going-concern.
The Company has been able to continue based upon the financial support of
certain of its stockholders and the continued existence of the Company is
dependent upon this support and its ability to acquire assets by the issuance of
stock. Management's plans in this regard are to receive the continued support of
the stockholders and/or to obtain other financing until profitable operation and
positive cash flow are achieved and maintained. There can be no guarantee that
the stockholders will provide this support.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ----------------------------------------------
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP
98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use," which revises the accounting for software development costs and
will require the capitalization of certain costs. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did
not have an effect on the Company's financial position or net income.
