         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (All amounts stated in $U.S.)

                                 March 31, 2000



1.   The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared by management from the unaudited financial statements as at
     March 31, 2000 and for the 3 month period then ended of Jaws Technologies,
     Inc. (a Nevada corporation) ("Jaws"), and the unaudited financial
     statements of Offsite and Nucleus Consulting Inc (an Illinois Company)
     ("Nucleus"), as at March 31, 2000 and for the 3 month period ended March
     31, 2000, together with other information available to the companies. In
     the opinion of the management of Jaws, these unaudited pro forma
     consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for
     fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles in the United States. These unaudited pro forma consolidated
     financial statements may not be indicative of the financial position or the
     results of operations that actually would have occurred if the events
     reflected therein had been in effect on the dates indicated nor of the
     financial position or the results of operations which may be obtained in
     the future.

     These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read
     in conjunction with the audited and unaudited financial statements of the
     companies included elsewhere in this filing.

2.   The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2000
     gives effect to the following assumptions and transactions outlined in this
     filing as if the effective dates of those transactions were March 31, 2000:

          The acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Nucleus for
         $250,000 in cash and 142,857 shares of Jaws with an ascribed value of
         $1,000,000. The Company paid consideration of $750,000 into a trust
         which will be released on the third, sixth and nine month anniversaries
         of the closing of the transaction. In addition there is contingent
         consideration payable of 285,714 commons shares of the Company at an
         ascribed value of $7.00 per share or $2,000,000 in total. Half of the
         common share consideration will be released if the actual revenues and
         earnings before interest and taxes for the year ended April 20,2001
         equal or exceed $3,500,000 and $800,000 respectively and the remaining
         share consideration will be released if actual revenues and earnings
         for the year ended April 20, 2002 equal or exceed $5,250,000 and
         $1,200,000 respectively. The contingent consideration has not been
         reflected in these consolidated financial statements, as the outcome of
         the contingent share consideration cannot be reasonably determined at
         this time

         The acquisition has been accounted for in these unaudited pro forma
         consolidated financial statements using the purchase method. The
         aggregate purchase price of $2,300,000 has been allocated to the net
         assets acquired based on their estimated fair values, as follows:

               Acquisition Costs                                   $   300,000

</TABLE>

3.   The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the three
     month period ended March 31, 2000 gives effect to the acquisitions by Jaws
     as described in 2.0 above as if the transactions had occurred January 1,
     2000. The following adjustments are reflected:

                                 March 31, 2000

     The amortization of goodwill attributable to the allocation of the purchase
     price of Nucleus and Offsite in excess of the carrying value of the net
     assets acquired, (see 2.0 above and the acquisition of Offsite) calculated
     on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.

4.   The amounts shown in these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
     statements for Pace and for Offsite have been translated into United States
     dollars from Canadian dollars at the period end rate for the balance sheet
     and the period average rate for the income statement.

Board of Directors
Nucleus Consulting, Inc.
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nucleus Consulting, Inc. as
of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Nucleus Consulting, Inc. as of
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. When property and
     equipment are disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
     are removed from the accounts and the corresponding gain or loss, if any,

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Income Taxes

     Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in
     the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred
     taxes related primarily to the cash basis method of accounting used for
     income tax purposes, the tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards,
     and the use of different depreciation methods and lives for financial
     statement and income tax purposes. If it is more likely than not that some
     portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation
     allowance is recognized. The deferred tax liability represents the future
     tax consequences of those temporary differences, which will either be
     taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or
     settled.

     Interim Financial Information

     The unaudited financial statements for the three month period ended March
     31, 2000 included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal
     recurring accruals and adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
     necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at March
     31, 2000 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000.
