1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
JAWS Technologies, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated on January 27, 1997
under the laws of the State of Nevada as "E-Biz" Solutions, Inc. On March 27,
1998, "E-Biz" Solutions, Inc. changed its name to JAWS Technologies, Inc. The
Company's business purpose is to continue to develop as a provider of secure
information management solutions. This is accomplished through offering
proprietary security software products, consulting services and secure Internet
and remote data storage services for key client groups including governments,
law enforcement, healthcare, legal and accounting, financial services,
e-commerce, internet service providers and application service providers. These
activities are carried out through the Company's wholly-owned Canadian
subsidiaries and U.S. subsidiary.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, JAWS Technologies, Inc. (Nevada), JAWS
Technologies Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation ("JAWS Alberta"), JAWS
Technologies (Ontario) Inc. an Ontario, Canada corporation ("JAWS Ontario"),
JAWS Technologies (Delaware) Inc., a Delaware corporation ("JAWS Delaware"), and
Offsite Data Services Ltd., operating as JAWS Secure Network Storage Division,
an Alberta, Canada corporation ("Offsite"), after elimination of intercompany
accounts and transactions.
Effective July 1, 2000 JAWS Technologies Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation
("JAWS Alberta"), JAWS Technologies (Ontario) Inc. an Ontario, Canada
corporation ("JAWS Ontario"), and Offsite Data Services Ltd., operating as JAWS
Secure Network Storage Division, an Alberta, Canada corporation, were
amalgamated to into one company: JAWS Technologies Inc., an Alberta, Canada
corporation.
Effective July 7, 2000 JAWS Technologies, Inc. (Nevada) migrated to the State of
Delaware and is now subject to corporate laws of Delaware.
The Company has experienced net losses over the past three years and, as of June
30, 2000, has an accumulated deficit of $21,395,745. Such losses are
attributable to both cash losses and losses resulting from costs incurred in the
development of the Company's services and infrastructure and non-cash interest
and amortization charges. The Company expects operating losses to continue for
the foreseeable future as it continues to develop and promote its services, and
establish its business, while working towards profitability. Accordingly, the
Company will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing to maintain its
continuing operations and rapid development.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
Interim Reporting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for 2000
and 1999 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statement information. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for
the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for any future period.
Use of estimates
295277.4
9
<PAGE>
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon
future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily
involves the use of estimates which would affect the amount of recorded assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.
Cash, cash equivalents and term deposits, and bank indebtedness
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with
insignificant interest rate risk and with original maturities of one month or
less when purchased. Bank indebtedness represents bank overdrafts on the
Company's chequing accounts. The Company invests its excess cash in term
deposits maintained primarily in Canadian financial institutions in an effort to
preserve principal and to maintain safety and liquidity.
Term deposits include investments with original maturities exceeding one month
when purchased.
Equipment and leasehold improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are depreciated at
the following annual rates which are designed to amortize the cost of the assets
over their estimated useful lives.
Security equipment - 20% straight line
Furniture and fixtures - 20% declining balance
Computer hardware - 33% straight line
Computer software for internal use - 33% straight line
Leasehold improvements - 20% straight line
295277.4

<PAGE>
Capital leases
Leases in which substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are
transferred to the Company are capitalized with an offsetting amount recorded as
a liability.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be disposed of," which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present.
Intangible assets
Employee and Consultants Base
The employee and consultants base recorded on the acquisition of Pace, SDTC,
Offsite, Nucleus and Doctorvillage.com are recorded at cost and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded at cost and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over three years.
The recoverability of employee and consultants bases and goodwill are assessed
periodically based on management estimates of undiscounted future operating
income from each of the acquired businesses to which the goodwill relates.
Software development
Software development costs are expensed when technological feasibility has not
yet been established. Subsequent to establishing technological feasibility, such
costs are capitalized until the commencement of commercial sales.
Revenue recognition
Product Revenue
Revenue from selling encryption software and revenue from the sale and
installation of computer software and hardware is recognized at the point of
delivery.
Consulting Revenue
Revenue from information technology services and outsourcing contracts is
recognized when the service is rendered.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Financing fees
295277.4
11
<PAGE>
Financing fees associated with that portion of the convertible debentures
classified as debt were deferred and amortized straight-line over the life of
the debentures. Financing fees associated with that portion of the convertible
debentures classified as additional paid in capital was charged to that account.
Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for the tax effect of
temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of the
company's assets and liabilities. Temporary differences arise when the
realization of an asset or the settlement of a liability would give rise to
either an increase or decrease in the Company's income taxes payable for the
year or later period. Future income taxes are recorded at the income tax rates
that are expected to apply when the future tax liability is settled or the
future tax asset is realized. When necessary, valuation allowances are
established to reduce future income tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change
during the period in future income tax assets and liabilities.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company's Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian
dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are
translated at the year-end exchange rate and revenues and expenses are
translated at average exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from the
translation of the financial statements of the subsidiaries are recorded in a
"Cumulative Translation Adjustment" account in stockholders' equity.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange
rate on the transaction date. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and
liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect of the balance sheet
date. The resulting exchange gains and losses on these items are included in net
earnings.
Earnings (loss) per common share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share has been calculated based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per common share is calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming
any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.
Stock based compensation
The Company applies the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly,
no compensation cost is recognized in the accounts as options are granted with
an exercise price that approximates the prevailing market price.
3. ACQUISITIONS
a. JAWS Alberta
On February 10, 1998 the Company issued 1,500,000 restricted common shares with
an ascribed value of $1,200,000 CDN ($839,748 USD), as well as options to
purchase 400,000 shares of its restricted common stock at $0.50 per share in
exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of JAWS Alberta. The options
issued in connection with the acquisition have been ascribed no value. JAWS
Alberta was a development stage company which at the time of acquisition was in
the process of creating a new encryption software product. The acquisition has
been accounted for by the purchase method.
295277.4
12
<PAGE>
The purchase price and the amounts allocated to software under development and
the common shares issued, net of other assets and liabilities acquired, was
determined based on estimates by management as to the replacement cost for the
encryption software development which had been incurred by JAWS Alberta prior to
the acquisition date. The purchase price has been allocated to the net assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values as follows:
$
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Net assets acquired
Non-cash working capital (5,087)
Software under development 909,003
Equipment 2,891
Due to stockholders (54,443)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Net assets acquired, excluding cash 852,364
Acquisition costs (13,996)
Cash acquired 1,380
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Net assets acquired for common stock 839,748
=================================================================
The amount allocated to software under development relates to encryption
software and its related algorithms, including the "L5" software. This software,
at the time of purchase, was not completely developed, tested or otherwise
available for sale and therefore has been immediately expensed in the
accompanying consolidated statements of loss and deficit. Coding and testing
activities for this software were completed on July 31, 1998.
The operating results of the acquired company are included in the consolidated
statements of loss, deficit and comprehensive loss from the date of acquisition.
Pro forma loss and pro forma loss per common share for the year ended December
31, 1998, giving effect to the acquisition of JAWS Alberta as though it had
occurred as at January 1, 1998 do not differ materially from that recorded.
b. Pace Systems Group Inc. ("Pace")
Effective November 3, 1999, the Company issued 1,385,546 exchangeable common
shares at $1.70 per share, which are exchangeable into 1,385,546 common shares
of the Company, in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Pace. In
addition, there is contingent consideration payable of 346,386 exchangeable
common shares subject to the achievement of certain targets. Fifty percent of
the additional share consideration will be released if on the 12 month
anniversary date of the effective date, actual gross revenues equal or exceed
$2,000,000 CDN. ($1,377,505 USD) for the previous 12 month period. The remaining
additional share consideration will be released if, on the 24 month anniversary
date of the effective date, actual revenues for the previous twelve months equal
or exceed $2,000,000 CDN. ($1,377,505 USD). The additional 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
additional share consideration will be recorded as employee and consultants base
and goodwill as it becomes payable.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase price
has been allocated to the net assets based on their estimated fair values as

wholly-owned subsidiary JAWS Delaware. SDTC was incorporated in December 1998
and had no material operations prior to January 1, 1999. The purchase price

issuance, at $7.04 per share, totalling $268,020, as well as contingent
consideration of an additional 9,516 common shares subject to the achievement of
certain targets. The issuance of 9,516 common stock is dependent upon achieving
revenues equal to the greater of $200,000 per employee, or a minimum of
$1,200,000, for the fiscal year 2000 only. The additional 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
additional share consideration will be recorded as employee and consultants base
and goodwill as it becomes payable.

5. INVESTMENT
On January 6, 2000, the Company exercised their option to purchase 2,000,000 of
Cobratech Industries Inc. common shares (25% of Cobratech) for $20,000, and
granted Cobratech the exclusive right to market and sell the Company's products
in Asia for a four year period commencing on October 19, 1999. The Company will
receive a 25% royalty on all products sold by Cobratech. No royalties have been
received to date. As Cobratech has issued additional common shares since January
6, 2000, JAWS currently holds less than 20% of the outstanding Cobratech common
shares. Accordingly, this investment has been recorded at cost.

The fair value of each option granted to date is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
expected volatility of 146% (December 31, 1999 - 151%; June 30, 1999 - 153%;
December 31, 1998 - 153%), risk-free interest rate of 6.09% (December 31, 1999 -
4.87%; June 30, 1999 - 4.0%; December 31, 1998 - 4.0%); no payment of common
share dividends for all years; and expected life of 3 years (December 31, 1999 -
3 years; June 30, 1999 - 10 years; December 31, 1998 - 10 years). Had
compensation cost for these plans been determined based upon the fair value at
grant date, consistent with the methodology prescribed in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the
Company's net loss and net loss per common share for the period ended June 30,
2000 would have been $11,740,100 and $0.38 respectively (December 31, 1999 -
$9,121,253 and $0.64; June 30, 1999 - $1,303,187 and $0.12; December 31, 1998 -
$3,324,618 and $0.45 respectively).

During 1999 the Company granted a total of 500,000 options to two officers of
the Company at an exercise price of $1.88 per share which was calculated based
on the previous three month's average price. The difference between the exercise
price and the trading price on the day prior to the grant date, has been
recognized as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2000 was $6.20 (1999 -
$2.32; 1998 - $0.41).

between the quotient of $5.00 divided by .89 and the average of the 10 lowest
closing bid prices for the company's common stock during the 40 trading day
period preceding the applicable adjustment date.

In September, 1998 the Company entered into a debenture agreement to issue 10%
convertible debentures up to a total of $2,000,000 which mature on October 31,
2001. The debentures were convertible, at the holders' option, into common
shares of the Company at various prices as outlined in the agreement. The
Company could prepay any or all of the outstanding principal amounts at any
time, subject to the holders' right to convert into common shares. A financing
fee of 10% was charged on the principal sum of each convertible debenture
issued. Interest was payable in cash or common shares at maturity.
The agreement was amended in April, 1999 to include, among others, an increase
in the amount available from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 and a reduction of the
financing fee to 8% on the additional amount available.
The Company issued $420,000 of debentures in 1998, and an additional $1,100,000
during 1999. Amounts of $118,462 and $617,867, in 1998 and 1999 respectively,
representing the intrinsic value of the conversion option, were recorded as
additional paid in capital with an offsetting charge to interest expense. The
portion of $152,000 of financing fees associated with the equity component of
the debentures were recorded as a reduction to paid in capital. The remainder,
which were recorded as a reduction of the debenture principal, were being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debentures.

At the time of initial funding in 1998, the Company issued 1,428,572 common
share purchase warrants (357,143 to the agent and 1,071,429 to the ultimate
subscriber of the issue). Each warrant granted the holder the right to purchase
one common share of the Company at $0.28 until October 31, 2001. The estimated
value of the subscriber warrants, in the amount of $342,857, was recorded as
additional paid in capital as they were exercisable upon issuance. The warrants
issued to the agent, with an estimated value of $85,714, were treated as a
financing fee; the portion thereof associated with the equity component of the
debenture ($24,000) was charged to additional paid in capital. The remainder was
being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debentures. The
debenture amendment in April, 1999 included the issuance of an additional
923,077 warrants which granted the holder the right to purchase one common share
of the Company at $0.65. The estimated value of these warrants, in the amount of
$341,538 were recorded as additional paid in capital, reduced by an offsetting
amount of $110,027 attributable to the equity component of the debenture. The
remainder was charged as a discount to debt and was being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the life of the debentures.
During 1998, $210,000 principal amount of debentures, together with $3,798
interest, was converted into 1,912,317 common shares.
Effective November 1, 1999 the Company settled the entire outstanding principal
amount of the debentures in exchange for 3,157,712 common shares, at a
recognized value of $1,091,348. Accrued interest and penalties were settled in
exchange for 57,643 common shares valued at $404,943. As part of the settlement
of the debt, the Company issued 1,428,572 common shares upon exercise of the
1,428,572 common stock purchase warrants, which were granted at the time of the
initial funding of the debt. The warrants were exercised at the stated price of
$0.28 per warrant. The Company also issued 751,648 shares of common stock upon
exercise of the 923,077 common share purchase warrants, which were granted at
the time of the amendment in April 1999. In exchange for issuing 171,429 fewer
shares as per the exercise agreement terms, the warrant holders were not
required to pay cash on the exercise of these warrants; accordingly, the
original amount recognized as additional paid in capital has been reversed and
$258,945 was recognized as financing expense.
11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is net loss for the period divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The effect on earnings
(loss) per share of the exercise of options and warrants, and the conversion of
the convertible debentures is anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of earnings (loss) per common
share:

The availability of these loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income
could be subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Certain ownership changes can significantly limit the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards in the period following the ownership change.
The Company has not determined whether such changes have occurred and the effect
such changes could have on its ability to carry forward all or some of the U.S.
net operating losses.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments comprising cash, term deposits, accounts receivable,
amounts due to and from related parties, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations, amounts due to related parties
and amounts due to stockholders approximate their fair value. It is management's
opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant currency risks arising
from these financial instruments.
At June 30, 2000 approximately 50% of consolidated accounts receivable are due
from a related party engaged in the business of providing financial products and
services.
17. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities", which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which will become
effective December 31, 2000. The Company does expect the standard to have a
material effect on its results, however an analysis has not been completed.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 17, 2000, in connection with the private placement financing agreement
dated June 22, 2000 and subsequent to the effectiveness of the Company's
registration statement, the Company issued 400,000 common shares for proceeds of
$2,000,000. In connection with this private placement, the Company issued
120,000 share purchase warrants which entitle the holder to purchase one share
of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Each warrant will
expire on July 17, 2005. The investors also received adjustable warrants to
purchase a number of shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.001 per
share, to be determined pursuant to a formula that is applied at three separate
40 day adjustment periods commencing between the 150th and 240th day following
July 17, 2005. The terms of the adjustable warrants are consistent with the
terms of the adjustable warrants issued in connection with the private placement
on June 22, 2000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Overview
JAWS is currently the parent corporation of five subsidiaries. The
two material operating companies are JAWS Canada and JAWS Technologies
(Delaware), Inc. ("JAWS USA"). The third subsidiary is JAWS, Inc., an Illinois
corporation (formerly "Nucleus Consulting, Inc."). The other two subsidiaries,
which are non-operating, are JAWS Acquisition Corporation ("JAC") and JAWS
Acquisition Canada Corporation ("JACC"), which serve the sole purpose of
facilitating Canadian acquisitions. Both of JAWS two primary operating
subsidiaries, JAWS Canada and JAWS USA, specialize in the field of end-to-end
information security, providing consulting services and software solutions to
minimize the threats to clients' information and communications.
JAWS recently reorganized its corporate structure by reincorporating
the parent company, JAWS Technoligies, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, to the state
of Delaware. In addition, JAWS amalgamated four operating subsidiaries in Canada
(JAWS Technologies Inc., an Alberta corporation ("JAWS Alberta"), JAWS
Technologies (Ontario) Inc., an Ontario corporation ("JAWS Ontario"), Pace
Systems Group Inc., an Ontario corporation ("PACE"), and Offsite Data Services
Ltd., an Alberta corporation ("Offsite")) to form a single operating subsidiary,
JAWS Canada. JAWS Canada is extra-provincially registered to carry on business
in the province of Ontario.
The overall strategic goal for JAWS is to consolidate the highly
fragmented information security industry, achieve increasing economies of scale
through the acquisition of high growth, emerging market firms and integrate such
firms through centralized administration and planning. Through industry and
management expertise, JAWS attempts to ensure that acquired firms receive the
capital and corporate planning necessary to maximize the growth potential within
each information security niche.
The shares of JAWS common stock are included for quotation on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "JAWZ".
JAWS is organized under a vertical model, with six target verticals,
namely Financial Services, Health Care, Cyber-crime & Forensics, Government,
Telecommunications (which includes ISP's and ASP's), and Emerging Markets.
JAWS has also developed or purchased several strategic horizontal
product or service offerings that it offers to its customers across all
verticals. These horizontal offerings include managed services (which includes
JAWS Secure Network Storage offering) and managed security services,
professional services and professional security services, JAWS products and
best-of-breed third party products.
In addition to the vertical model outlined above, and a horizontal
offering across all verticals, JAWS has also developed several Centers' of
Excellence. At its offices in Calgary, Alberta, JAWS Canada develops proprietary
encryption software using what is currently one of the world's strongest
encryption algorithms, L5, to secure binary data in various forms, including
streamlining or blocking data. In addition, JAWS Secure Network Storage offers
secure, fully automated on-line backup, retrieval and storage services through
the Internet from its data center in Calgary. At its offices in Toronto,
Ontario, JAWS' financial information technology security solutions services are
provided and include services in the area of payment systems, including POS/ABM
EFT switch implementation, point of sale application and device integration,
network architecture and design, system integration and project management.

Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2000 (second fiscal quarter 2000) compared with the
three months ended June 30, 1999 (second fiscal quarter 1999)
JAWS' total revenue increased by $2,214,277 (31,043%) for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from $7,133 in the three months ended June 30, 1999.
This increase is primarily due to three key factors. The first is the continued
internal growth of JAWS' operations as the company completes the transition from
research and development stage company to the commercialization stage. The
second key factor is the integration and subsequent growth associated with JAWS'
acquisitions (including PACE, SDTC, Offsite, and Nucleus). The third key factor
was an increase in interest income of $70,951, which resulted from short term
investing of funds received in connection with JAWS' private placement
financings.
Cost of sales increased to $880,111 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 from $0 in the three months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is
directly related to the increase in revenue above and the direct and
identifiable costs associated with generating that business recorded as a cost
of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 549% to
$5,793,464 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $892,420 in the three
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the continued
growth of JAWS' operations including geographic expansion, moving JAWS products
toward and into the commercialization stage and the expenses related to the
preparation of various marketing and sales documents and materials, wages and
benefits, requirements for office space, supplies and other office related
expenses.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased 1,636% to $616,546 for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $35,519 in the three months ended June
30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to increased sales and marketing
activities related to moving JAWS' products toward and into the
commercialization stage based on JAWS vertical and geographical product and
consulting services strategies.
Interest expense, financing fees and amortization of debt discount
decreased by approximately 99% to $1,424 for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from $281,583 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was
due to the retirement of the convertible debentures (which occurred in November,
1999) and the associated accelerated amortizations of the deferred financing
fees and debt discount.
Amortization expense was $1,742,643 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This
increase was primarily due to the amortization of goodwill and employee and
consultants base associated with JAWS' acquisitions of PACE, SDTC, Offsite, and
Nucleus.
The Company's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$6,994,777 as compared with $1,205,457 for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The increase in the net loss is primarily due to the continued growth of JAWS'
operations, moving JAWS products toward and into the commercialization stage
including geographic expansion and the expenses related to the preparation of
various marketing and sales documents and materials, wages and benefits,
requirements for office space, supplies and other office related expenses.
Six-Months ended June 30, 2000 compared with the Three and Six-Months ended June
30, 1999(1)
JAWS' total revenue increased by $2,934,163 (27,092%) for the
six-months ended June 30, 2000 from $10,180 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. This increase is primarily due to three key factors. The first is the
continued internal growth of JAWS' operations as the company completes the
transition from research and development stage company to the commercialization
stage. The second key factor is the integration and subsequent growth associated
with JAWS' acquisitions (including PACE, SDTC, Offsite, and Nucleus). The third
key factor was an increase in interest income of $176,248, which resulted from
short term investing of funds received in connection with JAWS' private
placement financings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 505% to
$9,089,266 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $1,502,594 in the six
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the continued
growth of JAWS' operations including geographic expansion, moving JAWS products
toward and into the commercialization stage and the expenses related to the
preparation of various marketing and sales documents and materials, wages and
benefits, requirements for office space, supplies and other office related
expenses.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased 491% to $1,091,712 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $184,767 in the six months ended June
30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to increased sales and marketing
activities related to moving JAWS' products toward and into the
commercialization stage based on JAWS vertical and geographical product and
consulting services strategies.
Interest expense, financing fees and amortization of debt discount
decreased by approximately 98% to $14,789 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
from $705,814 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was due to
the retirement of the convertible debentures (which occurred in November, 1999)
and the associated accelerated amortizations of the deferred financing fees and
debt discount.
Amortization expense was $2,744,083 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was
primarily due to the amortization of goodwill and employee and consultants base
associated with JAWS' acquisitions of PACE, SDTC, Offsite, and Nucleus.
The Company's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$11,014,828 as compared with $2,433,110 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The increase in the net loss is primarily due to the continued growth of JAWS'
operations, moving JAWS products toward and into the commercialization stage
including geographic expansion and the expenses related to the preparation of
various marketing and sales documents and materials, wages and benefits,
requirements for office space, supplies and other office related expenses.

Litigation
Except as provided in Part II, Item 1, JAWS is not a party to any
material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to the business of JAWS which JAWS does not believe is material.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $8,336,981, compared with $8,430,701 as of December 31, 1999. These
increases are a result of the increased expenses incurred as noted above.
Cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2000 was $5,563,340,
compared with $8,430,701 at December 31, 1999. During six months ended June 30,
2000, JAWS completed two private placements. The first private placement
financing of approximately $2,500,000 gross proceeds on February 23, 2000, and
an additional private placement for $4,000,000 gross proceeds on June 22, 2000
(together, the "Private Placement Transactions"). In addition, several options
and warrants were exercised during the six month period ending June 30, 2000.
These funds were used to fund current and anticipated losses from operations.
These funds will continue to be deployed primarily to fund operations.
The Company has experienced net losses over the past three years and
as of June 30, 2000, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $21.4 million.
Such losses are attributable to both cash losses and losses resulting from costs
incurred in the development of the Company's services and infrastructure and
non-cash interest and amortization charges. The Company expects operating losses
to continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop and promote
its services. Until such time as the company achieves profitability and positive
cash flow, JAWS' will need to raise additional capital to fund future
operations.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have increased 150% to
$2,943,472 as of June 30, 2000 as compared to $1,177,278 as of December 31,
1999. These increases are a result of the efforts of management to increase
sales revenue and grow JAWS' operations and are consistent with the other
expense increases in the first three months of the year 2000. JAWS has
anticipated and budgeted for these increases to provide for the organizations'
shift from research and development to commercialization and to provide for the
growth of operations.
JAWS has not established any lines of credit outside of trade
accounts and will not be in a position to negotiate any lines of credit until
sales contracts have been validated and matured. JAWS has not used any debt
instruments to date due to its early stage of operations, other than long-term
capital leases and Thomson Kernaghan's convertible debentures which were
converted to equity.
Year 2000 Issues
By the end of 1999, JAWS completed a ten phase year 2000 plan which
addressed the year 2000 readiness of all of our internal and external systems,
including software, network equipment, bandwidth providers and suppliers. We
have not, to date, experienced any year 2000 disruptions in these systems. JAWS
continues to assess all of its internal systems for operational effectiveness
and efficiency beyond year 2000 concerns.
JAWS management believes that JAWS' significant suppliers and
customers are year 2000 compliant and have not, to date, been made aware that
any significant suppliers or customers have suffered year 2000 disruptions in
their systems.
295277.4
35
<PAGE>
In the event JAWS discovers year 2000 problems in any of these
systems, we will endeavor to resolve these problems by making modifications to
our systems or purchasing new systems on a timely basis. Although we are not
aware of any material operational issues associated with preparing these systems
for the year 2000 we will not experience material, unanticipated, negative
consequences and/or material costs caused by undetected errors or defects in
such systems or by our failure to adequately prepare for the results of such
errors or defects, including costs of related litigation, if any. The impact of
such consequences could have a material and adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Our costs of year 2000
compliance, to date, are approximately $10,000 and we do not anticipate material
year 2000 compliance costs in the future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On August 10, 2000, Bristol Asset Management, LLC ("Bristol") filed
a complaint in Superior Court of the State of California (Case No. SC 062765)
against JAWS and its Chairman alleging, among other things, breach of contract,
fraud in the inducement, breach of fiduciary duty and unfair competition and
requesting, among other things, specific performance, statutory penalties and
injunctive relief and damages in excess of $10 million (the "Complaint"). The
Complaint relates to a warrant (the "Warrant") issued by JAWS to Bristol to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of JAWS' common stock, and Bristol's rights relating
to the exercise of the Warrant and the registration of shares underlying the
Warrant. JAWS is currently reviewing the Complaint and intends to defend it
vigorously.
Item 2. Changes in Securities.
On April 20, 2000, JAWS closed the purchase of all the issued and
outstanding common stock of Nucleus Consulting, Inc., a private, Illinois
corporation (subsequently renamed JAWS Inc.) from Charles A. Ehredt, the sole
stockholder of Nucleus Consulting, Inc. The stock purchase agreement provided
for JAWS to receive all of the issued and outstanding shares of Nucleus
Consulting, Inc. in exchange, in part, for a cash payment of $1,000,000 and
142,857 shares of JAWS' common stock. The stock purchase agreement further
provided for the issuance of up to 142,857 additional shares of JAWS' common
stock on each of the first and second anniversary dates of the closing, subject
to Mr. Ehredt's the achievement of certain revenue and earnings milestones by
JAWS Inc. over the respective post-closing periods.
On May 3, 2000 JAWS purchased the intellectual assets and operations
of Doctorvillage.com Inc. in exchange for $100,000 cash, payable in installments
and 20,000 common shares of the Company at an ascribed value of $5.00 per share.
At June 30, 2000 outstanding installments amounted to $50,000 and the common
shares were not yet issued. Accordingly, these amounts have been recorded in
accounts payable.
On June 22, 2000, JAWS completed a private placement transaction with
two institutional investors. The securities purchase agreement provided for the
purchase of 800,000 shares of JAWS common stock and five-year warrants to
purchase 240,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per
share, for an aggregate price of $4,000,000. The securities purchase agreement
also provided that, promptly upon the effectiveness of a registration statement
covering these shares of common stock, the investors were obligated to purchase
an additional 400,000 shares of common stock in exchange for a purchase price of
$2,000,000. This second private placement was consummated on July 17, 2000. The
investors also received warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of JAWS common stock
at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.
In connection with this transaction, the investors also received
five-year adjustable warrants to purchase shares of JAWS common stock at an
exercise price of $.001 per share. The exact number of shares is to be

Reincorporation in Delaware
On July 7, 2000, JAWS reincorporated in the State of Delaware, which
was effected promptly upon JAWS obtaining the requisite stockholder approval and
approval by JAWS' board of directors. This was accomplished by merging JAWS
Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with and into JAWS Technologies, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation and formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAWS
Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Upon consummation of the
reincorporation of the Company in the State of Delaware, JAWS Technologies,
Inc., a Nevada corporation, ceased to exist and JAWS Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, continues to operate the business of the Company under its
current name JAWS Technologies, Inc.
For a description of the differences between Nevada law and Delaware
law, see the Company's proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2000.
Amalgamation of Certain Subsidiaries
As of July 1, 2000, JAWS Technologies Inc., an Alberta corporation,
Pace Systems Group Inc., Offsite Data Services Ltd., and JAWS Technologies
(Ontario), Inc., were amalgamated into a newly-formed corporation; Jaws
Technologies Inc., an Alberta corporation. The newly-formed Jaws Technologies
Inc., an Alberta corporation, is extra provincially registered to carry on
