Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
The Company was incorporated in 1983 under the laws of the State of Utah as
Forward Electronics Corporation. In 1988, it was reorganized with United States
Mining & Exploration, Inc. (USM) and changed its name at that time. Also, in
1998, the Company acquired Ridge Rock Mining Corporation which it subsequently
dissolved. During 1989, Rocky Mountain Process Components was acquired. This
company was also dissolved. Since 1990, the Company has had no operations until
the merger with Global Digital Information, Inc.
In 1999, the Company acquired Masterpiece Medical, Inc. and Del Crane Medical,
Inc. Masterpiece Medical is a Delaware corporation and Del Crane is an Ohio
corporation with software programs and billing capability that compliment the
CaduSys medical records program offered by the Company. The merger was
completed effective June 22, 1999 by issuance of 2,150,000 shares of stock to
the stockholders of Masterpiece Medical, Inc. The merger was accounted for as a
pooling of interests under APB No. 16. The Company changed its name to
Masterpiece Technology Group, Inc. (MPTG).
The Company acquired Maplecrest Software, a Connecticut corporation, on November
18, 1999. This business combination was accounted for as a purchase under APB
No. 16.
The Company acquired Claims Direct on March 30, 2000. This business combination
was accounted for as a purchase under APB No. 16.
Business Activity
The Company designs, develops, markets and supports medical document management
systems and personal productivity software which facilitates the recording,
imaging, manipulation, distribution and storage of paper-based medical
information on personal network computers. The Company has acquired "CaduSys
Medical Record" a client/server clinical information software package that
collects and stores patient data during the creation of the clinical narrative.
It is sold to health care organizations including, but not limited to, single
and multi-doctor practices, clinics, health care organizations and small
hospitals. Some of the Company's other products include office adaptations,
which use the personal computer to eliminate paper in the office filing
system.
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Accounts Receivable
No allowance for bad debts has been provided since management expects no
material losses.
Fixed Assets
Furniture and fixtures, computer equipment are stated at cost. They are being
depreciated over their estimated useful lives of five to twenty years, as
appropriate.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Significant
betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment is sold
or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation
account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Income Taxes
Effective April 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No.
109 requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect in the year in which the temporary differences
are expected to reverse. There was no cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No.
109.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Certain
estimates related to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the
financial statements. Other estimates relate to assumptions about the ongoing
operations and may impact future periods. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual
results may differ from estimated amounts.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.
Amortization
Capitalized software costs are amortized over fifteen years using the straight-
line method. Capitalized software costs are stated net of accumulated
amortization of $630,570 as of March 31, 2000.
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Profit Sharing
The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan that covers substantially all
of its employees. Company contributions to the plan are discretionary and no
contributions by the Company were made in 2000. By its nature, the plan is
fully funded.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the
company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial
operating losses in recent years. In addition, its working capital is in a
deficiency. At March 31, 2000 current liabilities exceeded current assets by
$5.8 million.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company, which is dependent upon the Company's success of its future
operations.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to revive the Company's
operating and financing requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to
continue as a going concern. Some of these steps include:
a. Upon acquisition of Maplecrest Software by MPTG, a debt was incurred due to
past salary owed to three of the founders of Maplecrest. An agreement has been
reached between Masterpiece and these individuals for full settlement for all
past due salaries arising for all periods between January 1, 1999 and May 1,
2000 by issuing to those individuals free trading stock in MPTG, as soon as
those shares are registered. There will be 111,200 shares of free trading stock
issued to satisfy $278,000 of salaries that are shown as a liability on the
balance sheet at March 31, 2000. This transaction is expected to occur in the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2001.
b. Upon acquisition of Maplecrest Software by MPTG, a debt was incurred
resulting from past unpaid payroll taxes and other bank and vendor debt. Three
of Maplecrest founders have agreed to sell off their personal stock to satisfy
approximately $992,000 in past debt. This transaction is expected to occur in
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. The agreed-upon debt is shown below:
Internal Revenue Service $600,000
Various Bank Debt 162,000
Equipment Leases 57,000
Various Credit Card Debt 173,000
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)
c. MPTG has a current bank debt incurred over the past three years of
approximately $980,000 from past lines of credit. MPTG has recently turned
over
800,000 shares of insider stock as collateral to this bank debt and the bank
has
agreed to accept the stock and sell it to make payments towards the loans. As
this stock can be sold to make payments towards this debt, it will be.
NOTE 3 - CASH AND CASH FLOW INFORMATION
At various times throughout the year, the Company may have cash in certain
financial institutions in excess of insured limits.
For purposes of the cash flows statement, cash includes cash on hand and in
checking accounts.
Cash paid for interest was $18,347 for 2000.
The Company had noncash financing and investing transactions as follows:
March 31,
2000
Common stock issued for services
performed or to be performed $ 653,538
Common stock issued for mergers
Accounted for as a purchase:
Maplecrest $ 3,123,166
Claims Direct $ 962,500
NOTE 4 - MERGER AND REORGANIZATION
Effective November 11, 1997 the Company U. S. Mining & Exploration, Inc. (USM)
pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement (the "Plan") with Global Digital
Information, Inc.(GDI) USM was acquired in a "reverse acquisition" and the
shareholders of GDI became the major shareholders in USM. The "Plan" as
approved by the Board of Directors provided for a 2 for 1 split of the then
owned shares of the USM, the issuance of additional shares (440,962) for cash
($52,500), and 276,410 shares issued for services rendered by officers and
directors of the Company. As part of the "Plan" the shareholders of GDI were
issued an additional 8,044,150 shares. The then existing Board of Directors
(USM) resigned and was replaced by directors from GDI.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a "Pooling of Interests" as per APB No
16. Since GDI came into existence on June 25, 1997, its results of operations
have been included in these financial statements. No adjustment is made to
prior years presented because GDI was not in existence at that time.
NOTE 4 - MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (Continued)
On June 22, 1999, Masterpiece Technology Group, Inc. (formerly Global Digital
Information, Inc.) merged with Masterpiece Medical and Del Crane Medical, with
1,900,000 shares of stock going to the shareholders of Masterpiece Medical.
This was accounted for using the pooling of interest method under APB No. 16.
The balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 includes the accounts of Masterpiece
Medical and Del Crane Medical. The activity for the entire year ended March 31,
2000 is included in the statement of income. Activity for 1999 and 1998 is not
available and, therefore, not included in the income statements for these two
years.
On November 18, 1999, Maplecrest Software Development, Inc. was acquired by MPTG
by issuing 1,850,765 shares of MPTG to the shareholders of Maplecrest. The
cost of acquisition was $3,123,166 (using a value as of the date of acquisition
of $1.6875 per share), and resulting in an increase in the valuation of
Maplecrest's capitalized software cost of $3,680,877, which is being amortized
over 15 years. This was accounted for using the purchase method under APB No.
16. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 includes the accounts of Maplecrest,
but the income statement only includes activities from the date of merger
(November 18, 1999) through year end.
On March 30, 2000, Claims Direct, Inc. was acquired by MPTG by issuing 550,000
shares of MPTG to the shareholders of Claims Direct. The cost of acquisition
was $962,500 (using a value as of the date of acquisition of $1.75 per share).
This purchase price did not result in any goodwill or other increase in
intangible assets. This was accounted for using the purchase method under APB
No. 16. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 includes the accounts of Claims
Direct, but the income statement does not include any activity since the merger
date was March 30, 2000.
The following summarized proforma (unaudited) information assumes the
acquisition had occurred on April 1, 1999.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Company has no income tax provision for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998 due to net operating loss carryforwards.

deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2000 is as follows:
Federal net operating loss carryforwards $ 2,274,400

2013 567,000
2014 589,000
2020 1,101,400 (a)
(a) The Company's tax returns are filed through 1997. Due to net operating
losses no tax should be due. These loss carryforwards are estimated based upon
preliminary review of tax filings.
NOTE 9 - SHAREHOLDER SUIT
Subsequent to the previously disclosed merger, one of the original shareholders
of the Company requested the exercise of an option to purchase shares of the
Company's stock. Management has refused to honor the option and it has been
reported that the shareholder is going to sue for performance. The Company's
attorney's opinion is that any monetary impact from this suit to the Company
would be insignificant.
NOTE 10 - LEASE COMMITMENTS
Facilities
The Company leases one of its premises from an unrelated entity. The lease
expires in December, 2004. Under the agreement, the Company pays a monthly base
rent plus a portion of the building's operating expenses. The Company's

Thereafter - - -
$1,192,740 $51,804 $1,244,544
NOTE 11 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

the average outstanding shares of the Company. Earnings (loss) per share has
been restated for prior years to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.
The average number of shares outstanding was 3,068,397, 212,531 and 126,046 for
