NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company was organized on February 23, 1993 under the laws of
the State of Delaware as PLR, Inc. On October 3, 1997, it
changed its name to Integrated Carbonics Corp. and on October 30,
1997, changed its jurisdiction of incorporation to Nevada. On
April 15, 1999 a wholly-owned subsidiary company, U.R.B.A.
Holdings Inc. ("URBA"), was incorporated under the laws of
British Columbia to facilitate acquisitions in Canada.
During January, 2000, the Company acquired, through URBA, 100% of
the outstanding shares of Urbana.ca Enterprises Corp. ("Urbana
Enterprises"), E-Bill Direct Inc. ("E-Bill"), and Enersphere.com,
Inc. ("Enersphere"), which are in the business of developing and
marketing internet based products and services through the
distribution of set top boxes.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company is a development stage enterprise and as
such has no revenue and is incurring substantial costs in
connection with the development of its business and requires
additional working capital to fund ongoing losses from
operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional
financing and ultimately to attain profitable operations.
By a Letter of Intent dated September 8, 2000, the Company agreed
to a proposed merger with World Sales & Merchandising Inc., an
Ontario Company ("WSMI"). In connection with this merger, the
shareholders of WSMI would receive 65% of the post-merger fully
diluted common stock of the Company.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and disclosure requirements
of Regulation S-B and Form 10-QSB. They do not necessarily
include all information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company's annual
audited financial statements. However, except as disclosed
herein, there has been no material change in accounting
principles used or the information disclosed in the notes to the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited
financial statements should be read in conjunction with those
financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB. In the opinion
of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been made. Operating results for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation.
These financial statements are expressed in US dollars and have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). There are no material
measurement differences between US GAAP and Canadian GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation.
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries U.R.B.A. Holdings Inc. and Urbana
Enterprises Corp. which was formed effective March 10, 2000, when
Urbana Enterprises, Enersphere and E-Bill were amalgamated under
the statutory laws of the Province of Ontario. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on
consolidation.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions.
Preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Goodwill.
The company amortizes goodwill on a straight-line basis over five
years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments in
accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107 - Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by the Company, using
available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments
classified as current assets or liabilities including cash and
cash equivalents and notes and accounts payable approximate
carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation.
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated
monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United
States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which
prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are
translated at average rates of exchange during the period.
Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses
resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in
results of operations.
Net Loss per Common Share.
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Dilutive earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of
securities that could share in the earnings of the Company.
Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive
securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss
per share.
Stock-based Compensation.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic value based method in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees ("APB No.25"). APB No. 25 requires that compensation
cost be recorded for the excess, if any, of the quoted market
price of the common stock over the exercise price at the date the
options are granted. In addition, as required by SFAS No. 123,
the company provides pro-forma disclosure of the impact of
applying the fair value method of SFAS No. 123.

been granted votes in the Registrant on a basis of one vote for
each exchangeable share of URBA held. The holder of these shares
at any time may require URBA to repurchase the shares at the then
current market value of the common shares. At its option, URBA
may satisfy this obligation in cash or in Registrant shares. Any
exchangeable share not exchanged within 25 years is to be cancelled.

as Director of Urbana Enterprises Corp. thus forfeiting further
management compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
(a) General Statement.
The Registrant is a development stage enterprise. The
Registrant has no revenue and is continuing to incur substantial
costs in connection with pursuing the development of its
business. The Registrant's continued existence is dependent on
its ability to obtain sufficient financing to meet its financial
needs and ultimately to attain profitable operations. At
September 30, 2000 the Registrant had a working capital
deficiency of $1,398,403 inclusive of loans payable. This
compares with a working capital deficiency of $195,985 at
September 30, 1999.
(b) Debt Conversion.
During the period the Registrant settled debts of $40,000
due to a relative of a director of the Registrant by the issuance
of 100,000 restricted shares of common stock at $0.40 per share.
The Registrant settled a total of $99,900 of accounts payable by
the issuance of 333,000 restricted shares of common stock at
$0.30 per share and $9,190 of accounts payable by the issuance of
22,975 restricted shares of common stock at $0.40 per share. The
Registrant issued 50,000 restricted shares of common stock at
$0.40 per share as a retainer on a media relations contract. As
consideration for the acquisition of the three subsidiaries
during the period, URBA issued a total of 10,450,000 exchangeable
shares.
(c) Loan Conversions.
At September 30, 2000 loans of $1,174,162 plus accrued
interest of $51,213 were outstanding. These loans bear interest
at an annual rate of 8% and were due and payable on March 15,
2000. Subsequent to March 15, 2000 $110,000 of principal has
been repaid. The Registrant has provided an option to the
lenders for the remainder of the unpaid loans to convert the
principal amount of the loans into units of the Registrant at a
price of $0.57 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common
share of the Registrant and one-half share purchase warrant.
Each whole share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase
an additional common share of the Registrant at a price of $5.00
per share. This offer is to be made by way of a prospectus which
has been filed with the applicable Canadian and United States
regulatory authorities.
During the quarter the Registrant received additional loans
totaling $107,218. Accrued interest totals $615 to September 30,
2000. These loans bear interest at rates from 8% to 10% per annum.
(d) Units Offering.
The Registrant entered into an agency agreement effective
April 10, 2000 with Groome Capital.com Inc. whereby the
Registrant and Groome engaged in a best efforts offering of up to
20,000,000 special warrants at a price of $1.25 per special
warrant. The price of the special warrants was negotiated
between the Registrant and Groome Capital with reference to the
market price of the common shares of the Registrant, dilution,
and the capital needs of the Registrant. Each special warrant is
convertible into one common share and one-half share purchase
warrant exercisable at a price of $5.00 per whole share purchase
warrant.
On May 11, 2000, the Registrant completed a private
placement of 847,989 special warrants pursuant to exemptions from
prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws in Canada,
resulting in gross proceeds to the Registrant of $1,059,986 from
a total of nine investors (a similar offering was undertaken in
the United States, but no sales resulted from this offering).
Groome received an agent's fee equal to 8% of the total
amount raised (reduced to 4% for investors on the President's
List), resulting in total fees paid of $84,798.88. In addition,
Groome has been granted non-assignable agent's special warrants
equaling 10% of the number of special warrants sold, resulting in
the issuance of 84,798 non-transferable agent's special warrants
to Groome Capital. These warrants entitle the holder to acquire,
without additional consideration, one non-transferable agent's
compensation option. Each agent's compensation option will
entitle Groome Capital to purchase, at a price of U.S. $1.25, one
unit consisting of one agent's option share and one-half of one
agent's purchase warrant. Each agent's purchase warrant will
entitle Groome Capital to purchase one agent's warrant share at a
price of U.S. $5.00 each.
The warrants are exercisable until 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on
the date which is the earlier of:
the fifth business day following the date on which the last of
the final receipts of the filing of the prospectuses in Canada is
issued and this Form SB-2 registration statement is declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
April 26, 2002.
Any special warrants, agent's special warrants, agent's
compensation options, or agent's purchase warrants not previously
exercised will be automatically deemed to have been exercised by
the holder at this time without any further action on the part of
the holder.
If, for any reason, a Form SB-2 to register the shares underlying
the warrants and options is not declared effective by September
25, 2000, the holders of the special warrants and agent's
warrants will be entitled to receive, for no additional
consideration, a unit consisting of 1.1 common shares (rather
than one common share) and 0.55 purchase warrants (rather than
0.50 purchase warrants) upon exercise of each special warrant
held. The Form SB-2 has not yet been declared effective, so this
penalty provision will apply.
(1) Special Warrants
All of the special warrants are identical in all respects. The
special warrants were issued under and are subject to the terms
of a Special Warrant Agreement, dated April 27, 2000, between the
Registrant and Pacific Corporate Trust Company, and include the
following terms and conditions:
no fractional common shares will be issued; holders of special
warrants may be entitled to cash payment in respect of fractional
entitlements
the special warrants, including the number of common shares
issuable upon exercise or deemed exercise thereof, may be subject
to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain stated events,
including the subdivision or consolidation of common shares,
certain distributions of common shares, or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for common shares, or of other securities or
assets of the Registrant, certain offerings of rights, warrants
or options and certain capital reorganizations
the holding of special warrants will not give the holder rights
as a shareholder of the Registrant
special warrants may be exercised by the holder at any time to
and until the Expiry Time, and special warrants not exercised by
the Expiry Time shall, immediately prior to the Expiry Time, be
deemed to have been exercised without any further action on the
part of the holder
(2) Purchase Warrants
All of the purchase warrants are identical in all respects. The
purchase warrants were issued under and are subject to the terms
of a Purchase Warrant Agreement, dated April 27, 2000, between
the Registrant and Pacific Corporate Trust Company, and include:
the purchase warrant agreement provides for the adjustment to
exercise price of the Purchase warrants in certain circumstances,
such as a common share reorganization including where the
Registrant subdivides its outstanding common shares into a
greater number or common shares or where the Registrant conducts
a rights offering, and further provides for an adjustment in the
number of common shares which the holder is entitled to receive
upon the exercise of purchase warrants in certain circumstances,
such as where there is an amalgamation of the Registrant with or
into any other corporation
no fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise of the
purchase warrants.
(3) Agent's Warrants and Agent's Special Warrants
The agent's special warrants, agent's compensation options, and
agent's purchase warrants contain provisions that, in the event
of:
the subdivision or consolidation of common shares
any issue or distribution by the Registrant of any securities to
its shareholders, including rights, options, or warrants or
securities convertible or exchangeable into common shares of the
Registrant or property or assets, or
any reclassification or capital reorganization (other than as a
result of a subdivision or consolidation) or any consolidation or
merger of the Registrant, or any sale or conveyance to another
corporation of the property and assets of the Registrant as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety
the number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the
warrants or options will be adjusted, if necessary, so that the
holders will be in the same position, to the extent reasonably
possible, as they would have been in had the warrants or options
been exercised prior to the occurrence of each such event.
To the extent that the holder of a warrant or option would
otherwise be entitled to purchase a fraction of a common share,
such right may be exercised only in combination with other rights
which in the aggregate entitle the holder to purchase a whole
number of common shares; holders of such warrants or options will
be entitled to cash payment in respect of fractional entitlements
no adjustments as to dividends will be made upon any exercise of
the warrants or options.
holders of the warrants or options do not have any voting or pre-
emptive rights or any other rights as shareholders of the
Registrant.
(4) Escrowed Proceeds
Pursuant to an agreement dated April 27, 2000, 15% of the gross
proceeds of the private placement ($158,997.90) were placed into
escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement between the Registrant,
the Agent and Pacific Corporate Trust Company (as escrow agent)
on the closing of the private placement. The proceeds will be
released to the Registrant on the earlier of the Expiry Time.
LocalNet Development.
During the period, the Registrant completed and launched the
first generation portal to serve several communities in Ontario,
Canada. Development is ongoing to add additional user features
and refine the current product. The Registrant is continuing to
develop its plans for entering its first revenue cycle by the
licensing of LocalNet.
Proposed Merger.
By a letter of intent dated September 8, 2000, the
Registrant agreed to a proposed merger with World Sales &
Merchandising Inc., an Ontario company ("WSMI"). In connection
with this proposed merger, the shareholders of WSMI would receive
65% of the post-merger fully diluted common stock of the
Registrant (see Exhibit 10.18 to the Form 10-QSB).
Capital Expenditures.
No capital expenditures were made during the quarter ended on
September 30, 2000
Year 2000 Issue.
The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerized systems
use two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date
sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some
other date, resulting in errors when information using the year
2000 date is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise
in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent
something other than a date. The effects of the Year 2000 issue
may be experienced after January 1, 2000, and if not addressed,
the impact on operations and financial reporting may range from
minor errors to significant system failure which could affect the
Registrant's ability to conduct normal business operations. This
creates potential risk for all companies, even if their own
computer systems are Year 2000 compliant. It is not possible to
be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 issue affecting the
Registrant, including those related to the efforts of customers,
suppliers, or other third parties, will be fully resolved.
The Registrant currently believes that its systems are Year 2000
compliant in all material respects. Although management is not
aware of any material operational issues or costs associated with
preparing its internal systems for the Year 2000, the Registrant
may experience serious unanticipated negative consequences (such
as significant downtime for one or more of its suppliers) or
material costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the
technology used in its internal systems. Furthermore, the
purchasing patterns of consumers may be affected by Year 2000
issues. The Registrant does not currently have any information
about the Year 2000 status of its potential material suppliers.
The Registrant's Year 2000 plans are based on management's best
estimates.
Forward Looking Statements.
The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of Rule 175 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, including statements
regarding, among other items, the Registrant's business
strategies, continued growth in the Registrant's markets,
projections, and anticipated trends in the Registrant's business
and the industry in which it operates. The words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "intends," "forecast," "project," and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based largely on the Registrant's
expectations and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Registrant's
control. The Registrant cautions that these statements are
further qualified by important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements, including, among others, the following: reduced or
lack of increase in demand for the Registrant's products,
competitive pricing pressures, changes in the market price of
ingredients used in the Registrant's products and the level of
expenses incurred in the Registrant's operations. In light of
these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the
forward-looking information contained herein will in fact
transpire or prove to be accurate. The Registrant disclaims any
intent or obligation to update "forward looking statements."
