ITEM 2. Management's discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results
of operations
When used in this discussion, the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects,"
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date hereof. Actual results, performance or achievements
could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward looking
statements as a result of numerous factors, including but not limited to the
Company's ability to continually expand its subscriber base and opt-in email
lists, market its services too potential advertisers, the regulatory environment
in which the Company operates, future acceptance of its services and other
factors described in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish revised
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also
urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the
Company which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect
the Company's business, in this report, as well as the Company's periodic
reports on Forms 10-KSB, 10QSB and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Overview
--------
The Company is currently developing a website (www.newcompanycpital.com) to
serve as an online community for entrepreneurs and start-up companies seeking
capital and accredited investors seeking to invest. The Company plans to charge
a listing fee to entrepreneurs and start-up companies seeking to raise capital
by posting their executive summaries in a password protected section of the
website. Accredited investors seeking greater detail before investing will be
charged a viewing fee to access business plans. The information posted on the
web site will not be prospectuses nor will it offer or sell securities. The
Company's website will serve strictly as a conduit or meeting place. The Company
will not collect commissions or any other fees, other than a listing fee from
the client company or entrepreneur seeking capital and a viewing fee from the
investor. The Company will not be involved in any other aspect of the client
company's business, nor in the decision making process of the investor.
The Company will take resonable steps to verify that the investors will meet the
appropriate standard such as "qualified institutional buyers," "accredited
investors" or "non-U.S. persons" as those terms are defined in the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The Company will restrict access to the site to only
those investors who it reasonably believes meet the applicable eligibility
standard.
The market for early stage financing is a highly fragmented and inefficient.
Entrepreneurs and start up companies often find it diffiuclt, time consuming and
costly to access and make presentations to the venture capital community.
Investors wishing to make early stage investments find it difficult to gain
access to a wide variety of companies or entrepreneurs seeking early stage
capital. Large ammounts of money flowing into the venture capital market has
resulted in the average venture capital investment per quarter increasing from
%5.4 million in the third quarter of 1998 to over $9.1 million in the third
quarter of 1999 according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. This has made it more
difficult for companies seeking to raise smaller amounts of early stage capital,
defined as less than $4.0 million.
Results of Operations
---------------------
Revenues. The Company has generated zero revenues for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000, and for the same period in 1999. To date, the Company has
not relied on revenues for funding and has relied exclusively on paid in
capital.
For the next twelve months, the Company expects to generate minimal, if any,
revenues due to the early stage of its operations. In order to develop an online
community of funders and those seeking funding, the Company plans to advertise
its services through opt-in email lists, through print media catering to
entrepreneurs, and to certain professional communities, such as lawyers,
accountants and investment bankers. The Company plans to charge a listing fee to
entrepreneurs and start-up companies seeking to raise capital by posting their
executive summaries in a password protected section of the website. Accredited
investors seeking greater detail before investing will be charged a viewing fee
to access business plans.
As at June 30, 2000, the Company had a cash balance of $168,175, which is
sufficient to cover all current and ongoing development of the Company's
website, sales and marketing and operating expenses for the next twelve months.
General and Administrative Expenses. During the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred $2,759 and $18,877 in general and
administrative expenses, respectively, a decrease of 52% and an increase of 213%
when compared with the corresponding periods in 1999. These changes in general
and administrative expenses reflect the ongoing development of the Company's web
property. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to incur significantly
greater general and administrative expenses with the continued development of
the Company's web property.
Interest Income. Interest income was $2,576 and $5,068 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively, versus $3,504 and $3,594 for
the corresponding period in 1999. Interest earned in the future will be
dependent on Company funding cycles and prevailing interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2000, the Company's accumulated
deficit was $606,800, and as a result, there has been no provision for income
taxes to date.
Net Loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded
a net loss of $184 and $13,809, respectively, compared to a net loss of $2,242
and $2,432, for the same periods in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
As at June 30, 2000, the Company had a cash balance of $168,175, compared to
$181,884 as at December 31, 1999.
Net cash used by operating activities was $13,709 for the six month period
ending June 30, 2000, compared to net cash used of $2,432 for the same period in
1999. This increase in the net cash used in operating activities was due mainly
to costs related to developing the Company's website and ongoing operating
expenses.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the six month period ending
June 30, 2000, compared to $300,000 for the same period in 1999. The Company has
financed its operations primarily through cash on hand during the six month
period ending June 30, 2000.
The Company's future funding requirements will depend on numerous factors. These
factors include the Company's ability to operate its business profitably in the
future, 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.
The Company may raise additional funds through private or public equity
investment in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations.
The Company may seek access to the 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.
