                                   (unaudited)
                   For the Six Months Ended November 30, 2000


1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed interim  consolidated  financial  statements  included herein have
been  prepared  by  the  Company,  without  audit,  pursuant  to the  rules  and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain information and
footnote  disclosures  normally  included in accordance with generally  accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make  the   information   presented  not  misleading.   The  condensed   interim
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2000.

The unaudited  condensed  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  included
herein  reflect,  in the  opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting
primarily only of normal recurring  adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
results for the interim  periods.  The results of operations  for the six months
ended November 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the entire year ending May 31, 2001.

2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)   Nature and Continuance of Operations

forestindustry.com,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  was  incorporated  in  Delaware  on
December  18,  1997 under the name of Autoeye  Inc. On February  25,  2000,  the
Company changed its name to forestindustry.com, Inc. Prior to its acquisition of
The Forest Industry Online Inc. ("Forest"), the Company was inactive.

On January 31,  2000,  the Company  acquired  all of the issued and  outstanding
shares of Forest by issuing to Forest's stockholders 10,000,000 shares of common
stock and control of the Company.  The acquisition  was a reverse  takeover with
Forest being the deemed accounting  acquiror for financial  statement  purposes.
The  acquisition  has been  accounted for as a capital  transaction  effectively
representing an issue of stocks by Forest for the net assets of the Company.

Under the terms of the agreement,  the Company issued  10,000,000  common shares
for all of the 100 common issued and outstanding shares of Forest. As at January
31, 2000, there were 4,927,040 common shares of the Company (after  reflecting a
21:1 stock consolidation that occurred on August 20, 1999 and a subsequent stock
split of 1:40 which occurred on August 21, 1999.  These stock  adjustments  have
been retroactively adjusted and presented as of May 31, 1999 in the Consolidated
Statements of  Stockholders'  Equity).  The  acquisition  was accounted for as a
recapitalization  of Forest. The transaction has been accounted for as a capital
transaction  effectively  representing  an issue of shares by Forest for the net
assets of the  Company.  On  January  31,  2000 the net  assets  of the  Company
consisted of:

          Cash and Equivalents          $ 750,000
          Accounts Payable                (19,530)
                                       -----------
                                        $ 730,470
                                       -==========

Total costs  related to this  recapitalization  transaction  were  estimated  at
$24,375.  They  include  cash  expense in the  estimated  amount of $15,000  and
non-cash  expense in the amount of $9,375.  The non-cash  expense relates to the
issuance  of 37,500  shares of common  stock of the  Company.  The fair value of

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)
                   For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2000


these  services was estimated  based upon the estimated fair value of the shares
at $0.25 per share.  Total  transaction  costs have been recorded as a charge to
the stockholders' equity of the Company.

The  Company's  current  business  activities  include  designing  web sites and
operating and maintaining a computer internet web site for companies  associated
with the forest and wood product industries.

These interim  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis in accordance  with United States  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  The going  concern basis of  presentation  assumes the Company will
continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its
assets and discharge its  liabilities  and  commitments  in the normal course of
business.  Certain  conditions,  discussed  below,  currently  exist which raise
substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. The financial statements
do not  include  any  adjustments  that might  result  from the  outcome of this
uncertainty.

To November 30, 2000, the Company has not been  profitable  and has  experienced
negative cash flows from  operations.  Operations have been financed through the
issuance of preferred stocks and other external financing.  The Company's future
operations  are  dependent  upon  continued  external  funding,  its  ability to
increase  revenues  and  reduce  expenses,  and  the  success  of  its  proposed
development of an online  business  exchange  auction website for the forest and
wood industries. There are no assurances that the above conditions will occur.

The  accompanying  interim  consolidated  balance  sheet as of November 30, 2000
includes  the  accounts  of the Company  and  Forest.  The related  accompanying
interim consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include the results
of  operations  and cash flows of the  Company  and Forest for the period  ended
November 30, 2000 and of Forest only for the period ended November 30, 1999. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

b)   Work in Process

Work  in  process  is  recorded  as  the  lower  of  cost  determined   using  a
percentage-of-completion  method based on the contract  price and net realizable
value.

c)   Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Property  and  equipment  are  recorded  at cost and are  depreciated  using the
straight-line  method over their estimated  useful lives ranging from one to ten
years, or their lease terms.

d)   Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  Company  considers  all  short-term  investments  with a  maturity  date at
purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

e)   Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenues

Revenues on  advertising  fees and hosting  revenues  are recorded on the billed
basis.  Customers are invoiced on a quarterly  basis in advance for  advertising
and hosting spaces.  Unearned  revenues relate to the period of the billing that
has not yet transpired and therefore not earned.

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)
                   For the Six Months Ended November 30, 2000


Revenues   on  fixed   contract   website   designs   are   recognized   on  the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

f)   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 the  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.


g)   Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common stock outstanding during the periods.  Diluted loss per share is computed
using the weighted  average  number of common and  potentially  dilutive  common
stock  outstanding  during the period.  As the Company has losses in the periods
presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

h)   Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based  compensation arrangement in accordance
with provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees",   and  related  interpretations.   As  such,
compensation  expense  under  fixed plans would be recorded on the date of grant
only if the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant exceeded the
exercise price. The Company recognizes  compensation  expense for stock options,
common stock and other equity  instruments  issued to non-employees for services
received based upon the fair value of the services or equity instruments issued,
whichever is more reliably  determined.  This  information  is presented in note
8(c).

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 123,  "Accounting  for
Stock  Based  Compensation",  required  entities  that  continue  to  apply  the
provision of APB Opinion No. 25 for  transactions  with employees to provide for
forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock
option  grants made in 1995 and future years as if the  fair-value-based  method
defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied to these transactions.

i)   Income Taxes

The Company  follows the asset and  liability  method of  accounting  for income
taxes. Under this method,  current taxes are recognized for the estimated income
taxes payable for the current period.

Deferred income taxes are provided based on the estimated  future tax effects of
temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities and their  respective tax bases as well as the benefit of losses and
tax credits available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are measured  using enacted tax rates that
are  expected to apply to taxable  income in the years in which those  temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax
assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in
the period that includes the substantive  enactment date. A valuation  allowance
is recorded  for  deferred  tax assets when it is more likely than not that such
deferred tax assets will not be realized.

j)   Foreign Currency Translation

The  functional  currency of the Company is the United States dollar and for its
Canadian subsidiary the Canadian dollar.  Transactions in foreign currencies are
translated  to United States  dollars at the rates in effect on the  transaction
date.  Exchange  gains or losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign
currency denominated  monetary items are included in the consolidated  statement
of operations.

3 - PENDING ACQUISITION

On August 16, 2000, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire
C.C. Crow Publishing, Inc. for $330,000 in cash and 400,000 shares of our common
stock.  Crow  was  established  in 1921 and  publishes  market  reports  for the
softwood industry.  This acquisition is subject to several conditions  including
the Company's ability to pay the cash portion of this transaction by the closing
date of December 31, 2000.  There is no assurance that this  acquisition will be
consummated.  The  Company  has issued and placed the  400,000  shares in escrow
pending the  closing of this  transaction.  125,000  shares of this amount are a
non-refundable deposit, which will be issued to the owner of Crow's whether this
acquisition closes or not.

On October 6, 2000,  the pending  acquisition  was cancelled by both parties and
the owner of Crow  volunteered  to return the 400,000  shares of common stock to
us. As of November 30, 2000 the 400,000  shares of common stock had not yet been
returned to treasury.

4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

a)   Preferred Stock

On January 31, 2000, the Company  issued through a private  placement 750 shares
of  Series  "A"  convertible  preferred  stock at a price of $1,000  per  share.
Holders of Series "A" preferred  stocks are entitled to  distribution  of $1,000
per share  prior to any  distribution  to the  holders of the  Company's  common
stocks in the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

The Series "A" preferred stock is convertible,  at the option of the holder, and
at any time after March 16,  2000,  into common stock at 75% of the last ten day
average closing bid price of the Company subject to a maximum conversion rate of
5,000  shares of common  stock  for one share of  preferred  stock and a minimum
conversion rate of 250 shares of common stock for one share of preferred  stock.
In  addition,  if a  registration  statement  in  respect  of the  common  stock
underlying the preferred stock is effective, all Series "A" preferred stock will
be deemed to convert into common stock on or before  January 31, 2001, the first
anniversary date.

On May 10, 2000 the Company  issued  249,221  shares of its common  stock on the
conversion of 375 Series "A" convertible preferred stocks.

On June 15, 2000 the Company  issued  217,145  shares of its common stock on the

stock  as part of this  series.  Upon  any  liquidation  or  dissolution  of our
Company,   each  outstanding  Series  "B"  preferred  share  is  entitled  to  a
distribution  of $1,000 prior to any  distribution  to the holders of our common
stock.  The Series "B"  preferred  stocks are not  entitled to any  dividends or
voting rights.

                                   (unaudited)
                   For the Six Months Ended November 30, 2000

In  August  2000,  the  Company  sold  200  Series  "B"  preferred  stock to two
accredited  institutional  investors  for  $1,000  per  share.  Each  Series "B"
preferred  share may be converted,  at the option of the holder,  into shares of
our common stock equal in number to the amount  determined by dividing $1,000 by
70% of the average  closing  price of our common stock for the five trading days
preceding the  conversion  date,  subject to a maximum of 5,000 shares of common
stock  being  issued for each  Series "B"  preferred  share and a minimum of 250
shares of common stock being issued for each Series "B" preferred share. Holders
of Series "B" preferred  stocks are entitled to distribution of $1,000 per share
prior to any  distribution to the holders of the Company's  common stocks in the
event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

market value of the shares on the date of issuance.

On August 16, 2000, the Company issued 400,000 share of common stock,  valued at
$400,000,  to be held in escrow  pending the  acquisition of a company and to be
applied toward the final  acquisition  price on or before December 31, 2000. The
Company  recorded an expense of $40 for the issuance of the common  shares based
on the fair market  value of the shares on the date of  issuance.  On October 6,
2000, the pending acquisition was cancelled by both parties and the owner of the
company volunteered to return the 400,000 shares of common stock to treasury.

5 - STOCK OPTIONS

a)   Employees

In February  2000,  the Company  adopted a fixed stock option plan that provides
for the  issuance of  incentive  and  non-qualified  stock  options to officers,
directors,  employees and  non-employees  to acquire up to 250,000 shares of the
Company's  common  stock.  The plan was  amended  in June 2000 to  increase  the
allowable  number of stock  options  to be  issued  under  this plan to  500,000
shares.  The Board of  Directors  determines  the terms of the options  granted,
including  the number of options  granted,  the  exercise  price and the vesting
schedule.  The exercise price for qualified  incentive and  non-qualified  stock
options is not to be less than the fair market value of the underlying  stock at
the date of grant,  and to have terms no longer  than ten years from the date of
grant.

On February 29, 2000, the Company  granted options to purchase a total of 33,000
shares of the Company's  common stock at a price of $4.00 per share to employees
of the  Company.  The  options  vest on or after  February  29,  2001 and expire
between  February and April 2005.  Between March and November  2000, the Company
cancelled options to purchase a total of 16,000 shares as the employees who were
granted the options left the Company.

On June 12,  2000,  the  Company  granted  options to purchase a total of 54,000
shares of the Company's  common stock at a price of $2.00 per share to employees
of the Company. The options vest on or after June 11, 2001 and expire June 2005.
Between  June and November  2000,  the Company  cancelled  options to purchase a
total of 40,000  shares as the  employees  who were granted the options left the
Company.

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)
                   For the Six Months Ended November 30, 2000

The Company continues to account for its employee  stock-based  awards using the
intrinsic  value method in  accordance  with APB No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock
Issued  to  Employees",  and  its  related  interpretations.   Accordingly,   no
compensation  expense  has  been  recognized  in the  financial  statements  for
employee  stock  arrangements,  because  the fair  value of common  stock at the
measurement date is not greater than the option exercise price.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
SFAS No. 123, and has been  determined  as if the Company had  accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that  statement.  The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk-free
interest rate of 6.0%;  dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected
market price of the Company's stock of 230%; and an expected life of the options
of 2.5 years.  Accordingly,  compensation  expense  using the fair value  method
would have been $22,550, amortized over their respective vesting period.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded  options which have no vesting  restrictions  and are fully
transferable.  In addition,  option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective  assumptions  including the expected stock price volatility.  Because
the  Company's  employee  stock  options  have   characteristics   significantly
different from those of traded  options,  and because  changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion,  the  existing  models do not  necessarily  provide a  reliable  single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

The Statement's pro forma information from the options is as follows:

b)   Non-Employees

On May 26,  2000,  the  Company  granted  options to  purchase a total of 40,000
shares  of the  Company's  common  stock  at a  price  of  $2.00  per  share  to
non-employees  of the  Company.  The  options  vest on or after  May 1, 2001 and
expire May 2005.  Stock  options  issued to  non-employees  are accounted for in
accordance  with the  provisions  of SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting  for Stock Based
Compensation",  using the fair value method. Accordingly, a compensation expense
to these stock  options in the amount of $17,253 was recorded as deferred  stock
compensation  to be amortized over their  respective  vesting  periods.  For the
quarter ended November 30, 2000 the Company  recognized an amortization  expense
of $3,690.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis

This discussion, other than the historical financial information, may consist of
forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks and  uncertainties,  including
quarterly and yearly  fluctuations  in results,  the timely  availability of new
communication products, the impact of competitive products and services, and the
other  risks  and   uncertainties,   including  those  relating  to  the  recent
acquisition of a new line of business  described  below.  These  forward-looking
statements  speak  only as of the date  hereof  and  should  not be given  undue
reliance. Actual results may vary significantly from those projected.

The Company was formed on December 18, 1997 under the name Autoeye, Inc. Autoeye
Inc., was formed to acquire Autoeye Inc., an Alberta corporation, that developed
and proposed to manufacture its existing design for a multi-vehicle surveillance
system to monitor large vehicle lots such as car dealerships, fleets and storage
lots.  The proposed  acquisition  of Autoeye Inc., an Alberta  corporation,  was
terminated  in February  1998.  Thereafter  Autoeye's  business  was to evaluate
businesses  for possible  acquisition.  On January 31, 2000, we acquired 100% of
The Forest Industry Online, Inc. Following the transaction,  the shareholders of
The Forest  Industry  Online,  Inc.  owned a majority of  Autoeye's  outstanding
shares of common  stock.  Accordingly,  for  financial  reporting  purposes  the

<PAGE>14



transaction was accounted for as a reverse  acquisition with The Forest Industry
Online,  Inc. considered the accounting  acquirer.  (See Notes 2(a) and 3 to the
May 31, 2000 consolidated  financial  statements).  As such, The Forest Industry
Online, Inc.'s historical financial statements are now reported as the Company's
financial  statements.  On February 25, 2000, the Company  changed its name from
Autoeye, Inc. to forestindustry.com, Inc. Prior to the acquisition of The Forest
Industry  Online,  Inc.,  the Company had not  generated any revenue and had not
commenced   any   operations   other  than  initial   corporate   formation  and
capitalization.

Overview

The Company is an  internet  service  provider  to the forest and wood  products
industry. The Company's website includes information and advertising relating to
forest and logging; wood processing and logs; and lumber and wood products.  The
Company is also in the process of establishing a  business-to-business  exchange
to  support  the  purchase  and sale of wood,  wood  products  and wood  related
services.  The Company also plans on designing web-based training and compliance
programs and establishing a market information  service.  The Company's strategy
is to become an internet  leader in supporting an e-focused  marketplace for the
highly fragmented global forest industry.

For the Six Months ended November 30, 2000 and November 30, 1999

Revenues.  Revenues increased 122% to $205,195 for the six months ended November
30, 2000 as compared to sales of $92,382 for the six months  ended  November 30,
1999.  Increased  sales were  attributable  to an increase in subscribers to the
Company's web site services and web design services. The customer base increased
to   approximately   1200   customers  by  November  30,  2000  as  compared  to
approximately 400 at November 30, 1999. $108,015 or 53% of revenues were derived
from website design services while the remaining $97,180 or 47% of revenues were
derived from web site advertising.

Expenses. Total expenses for the six months ended November 30, 2000 increased to
$867,949 as compared to $91,188 for the  comparative  period ended  November 30,
1999.  Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  represented  the largest
portion of expenses  increasing  over 900% from $78,419 for the six months ended
November 30, 1999 to $707,719 for the comparable  period in 2000.  This increase
is due to the hiring of additional sales and technical staff, attendance at more
trade  shows  during  this  period and  termination  of office  leases and other
commitments.  The Company also recorded a compensation  expense for stock issued
for services  rendered in the amount of $212,500.  Consulting  and  professional
fees were $28,076 for the period ended November 30, 2000 compared to nil for the
six months ended  November 30, 1999. The Company's  professional  fees increased
due to the private placement  conducted in August,  the pending  acquisition and
compliance with public reporting  requirements.  Professional fees also included
legal  and  accounting  fees  relating  to  the  preparation  of a  registration
statement and audited financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2000.

Net and Comprehensive  Loss. The Company recorded a net loss of $662,754 for the
six months ended  November 30, 2000 compared to a net gain of $1,194 for the six
months  ended  November  30,  1999.  The increase in losses for the period ended
November   30,  2000  is  due  to  the   significant   increase  in   operating,
administrative  and  professional  expenses and the  recording  of  compensation
expenses  relating to the  issuance of common stock for services and granting of
stock options to non-employees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is in a growth  stage in which  expenses are expected to increase as
the Company  implements its business  plan. The Company has not been  profitable
and has experienced  negative cash flows from  operations.  Due to the fact that
the Company has not generated  sufficient cash flow to fund all of its operating
costs, the Company has relied heavily on outside sources of capital.  During the
year ended May 31, 2000,  the Company  raised  $750,000  through the sale of its
Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock.  During the six months ended November 30,
2000,  the  Company  also  raised  $200,000  through  the  sale of its  Series B
Convertible  Preferred Stock. The Company's future operations are dependent upon

<PAGE>15


continued  external  funding from  additional  capital  investments  or borrowed
funds.  The Company's future success will also depend on its ability to increase
revenues  and to reduce  expenses and  establish  its online  business  exchange
auction  website for the forest and wood  industries.  There can be no assurance
that the Company  will be able to raise  capital from these  outside  sources in
sufficient amounts to fund the Company's business  operations or to successfully
expand its online  business.  The failure to secure adequate  outside funding or
establish  the forest and wood  industry  auction  website would have an adverse
affect on the Company's operating results.

Investing  activities  during  the six  months  ended  November  30,  2000  have
consisted  mainly of  purchasing  property  and  equipment,  primarily  computer
hardware and software.  Capital expenditures totalled $23,499 for the six months
ended  November  30,  2000 and  $119,377  for the year ended May 31,  2000.  The
Company expects capital  expenditures  will increase and growth in its technical
infrastructure will be required to support the growing customer base.

To date,  the Company has not  invested in  derivative  securities  or any other
financial  instruments  that  involve a high level of  complexity  or risk.  The
Company expects, that in the future, cash in excess of current requirements will
continue  to be invested in high  credit  quality,  interest-bearing  securities
until utilized in business operations.

As  of  November  30,  2000,  the  Company  had  negative   working  capital  of
approximately $112,781. The Company anticipates obtaining the additional capital
which it will require through revenues from operations and through a combination
of debt and equity  financing.  The Company will also consider joint ventures or
strategic  alliances to develop future programs.  There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain capital it will need or that the estimates of its
capital requirements will prove to be accurate.

In order to reduce our  expenses,  we laid off 17 of our  employees in November,
2000.  We plan on building our  operations  and  re-hiring  our  employees  once
revenues exceed our operating costs.

Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

The Company is still in the early stages of developing its website and marketing
its internet services.  Consequently,  it has only a limited history of revenues
and business track record.

The Company  expects its  expenses  will  increase  during the  remainder of the
fiscal year as a result of increased marketing expenses and the expansion of its
online services.  The Company's  ability to successfully  operate and expand its
website and market its services will depend on, among other things:

o    the continued  improvement of its internet technology to support the forest
     and wood industry;
o    the development and expansion of its internet services;
o    the expansion of its subscriber base; and
o    the  establishment of its website as an effective  advertising and business
     medium for the forest and wood industry.

The  success  of the  Company  will also  depend on its  ability  to  respond to
technological  advances and emerging industry  standards in a cost-effective and
timely  manner.  The Company may not have the technical or financial  ability to
respond to these technical challenges.

Until revenues are sufficient to support the Company's business,  it will depend
to a significant  extent on outside  capital to pay for the  development  of its
e-commerce  business.  Such outside  capital may include the sale of  additional
stock and/or commercial  borrowing.  There can be no assurance that capital will
be available if necessary to the Company to meet these  operational costs or, if
the capital is available,  it will be on terms  acceptable  to the Company.  The
issuance  of  additional  equity  securities  by the Company  would  result in a
further dilution in the equity interests of the current stockholders.  Obtaining
commercial  loans,  assuming  those loans would be available,  will increase the
Company's liabilities and future cash commitments.  As of November 30, 2000, the
Company  did not have any  commitments  from any  source to  provide  additional
capital.

None.

Item 5. Other Information

On August 16, 2000 the Company signed a non-binding  letter of intent to acquire
all of the issued and  outstanding  shares of C.C.  Crow  Publications,  Inc. in
exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company's  common stock and $330,000 in cash.
The transaction is subject to several  conditions prior to closing.  The Company
has issued 400,000  shares of its common stock,  which has been placed in escrow
pending the consummation of this transaction. The Company has until December 31,
2000 to raise sufficient  capital to acquire the business.  The Company plans to
obtain the  necessary  capital  through  debt and/or  equity  financing.  If the
Company fails to raise  sufficient  capital or for some other reason decides not
to  consummate  this  acquisition,  it will  forfeit a deposit  in the amount of
125,000 shares of its common stock.  On October 6, 2000,  both parties agreed to
terminate  the letter of intent and the owner of C.C.  Crow  Publications,  Inc.
volunteered to return the 400,000 shares to the Company. As of November 30, 2000
the 400,000 common shares had not yet been returned.
