Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - unaudited
(Stated in United States dollars)


Nine months ended June 30, 2000


1.       Basis of presentation:

     The  accompanying   unaudited   consolidated  financial  statements  of  V3
     Semiconductor,  Inc.  (the  Company)  as at  June  30,  2000  and  for  the
     three-month  and nine-month  periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 have been
     prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
     interim financial information and with the instructions set out by Form 10Q
     and  Article  10 of  Regulation  S-X.  In the  opinion of  management,  the
     unaudited   consolidated   financial   statements   include  all   material
     adjustments,  consisting  of normal  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  to
     fairly present the information set forth therein.  These interim  financial
     statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  September  30,  1999
     audited consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto. The Company's
     results of operations for the first nine months of 2000 are not necessarily
     indicative of future operating results.

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that effect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements
     and accompanying  notes.  Actual results could differ materially from those
     estimates.

2.       Revenue recognition policy

     During  the  quarter,  the  Company  completed  a review of its  ability to
     continue to estimate  product returns from its  distributors.  Based on its
     review  of  this  matter,   the  Company  concluded  that  product  returns
     experienced  in  the  past  would  not be  indicative  of  product  returns
     experienced in the future.

     The Company will defer  recognition of revenue on sales to  distributors at
     the time of shipment  and will  recognize  that  revenue  when the right of
     return has substantially expired which is when the distributor has sold the
     product to the end customer. The effect of this decision was a reduction in
     the Company's third quarter sales of approximately $1.3 million as compared
     to the amount of sales the Company would have  recognized  had it continued
     to recognize revenue at the time of shipment.

3.       Earnings (loss) per share:

     Application  of  the  provisions  of  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting
     Standards  No. 128 results in  disclosure  of two earning  (loss) per share
     measures,  basic and diluted, on the face of the consolidated  statement of
     operations.

     "Basic"  earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by
     the weighted average number of common and special shares outstanding during
     the periods.  [Special  shares have been  included in the weighted  average
     number of shares  outstanding as the special shares are  exchangeable  into
     common shares of the Company.]  "Diluted"  earnings per share  reflects the
     net  incremental  shares that would be issued if outstanding  stock options
     were  exercised  and the funds  from the  exercises  were used to  purchase
     treasury shares.

     In the case of a net loss, it is assumed that no  incremental  shares would
     be issued because they would be antidilutive.

     The  reconciliation  of shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings
     (loss) per share is as follows:

representing  a decrease of 18.8% over gross profit of $1,160,463  for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2000
was $4,066,143 representing an increase of 23.8% over gross profit of $3,285,499
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales,
was 69.9% and 71.7% for the three  months and nine months  ended June 30,  2000,
respectively,  as  compared  to 70.9% and 71.1%  for the three  months  and nine
months  ended June 30,  1999.  The slight  increase in gross margin for the nine
months  ended  June  30,  2000 is a  reflection  of the  reduced  product  costs
negotiated with the manufacturing  subcontractors  and an increase in the number
of  design-wins  of the newer  devices  (PDC,  SDC,  USC) that are  shipping  in
pre-production  volumes. As the number of volume transactions  increases,  gross
margin is expected to decline slightly.

Other Income

         Included in other income is royalty income and interest  income.  Other
income for the three  months and nine months ended June 30, 2000 was $64,662 and
$165,133   respectively.   This  represents  an  increase  of  142.9%  and  5.8%
respectively, over other income of $26,623 and $156,133 for the three months and
nine months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.

         Other income, as a percentage of sales, was 4.8% and 2.9% for the three
months  and nine  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  respectively.  The  comparable
percentages  for the three  months and nine months ended June 30, 1999 were 1.6%
and 3.4%.

         Interest generated on short-term investments,  as a percentage of other
income,  was 81.6% and 84.8% for the three months and nine months ended June 30,
2000, respectively.

         Royalty  income for the nine  months  ended June 30,  2000 was  $22,565
representing a decrease of 11.7% over the royalty income of $25,555 for the nine
months  ended June 30,  1999.  This  decrease  was a result of  reduced  royalty
payments from National Semiconductor.

Research & Development ("R&D) Expenditures

         R&D  expenditures  for the three  months and nine months ended June 30,
2000 were $547,573 and  $1,588,981,  representing  increases of 37.4% and 42.3%,
respectively,  over R&D  expenditures  of $398,631 and  $1,116,825 for the three
months and nine months ended June 30, 1999,  respectively.  R&D expenditures are
stated before  applying  (adding) R&D tax credits of ($175,850) and $158,628 for
the three  months  and nine  months,  ended  June 30,  2000,  respectively,  and
$196,066  and $571,085 for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 1999,
respectively.  R&D expenditures,  as a percentage of sales, were 40.7% and 28.0%
for the three  months and nine  months  ended June 30,  2000,  respectively,  as
compared to 24.4% and 24.1% for the three  months and nine months ended June 30,
1999. The increase in R&D expenditures for both the three months and nine months
ended June 30, 2000 was due  predominantly  to an increase in R&D personnel that
resulted  in an  increase in R&D wages of 32.9% and 41.7% over R&D wages for the
three months and nine months ended June 30, 1999. In addition,  the Company made
significant  investments  in hardware and software  tools to design and validate
new products.

Investment Tax Credits ("ITC") and Research and Development Expenditures

         The  Company's   Canadian   subsidiary   incurs   current  and  capital
expenditures,  which are  eligible as a  scientific  research  and  experimental
development ("SR&ED")  expenditures.  The Company earns ITCs at a rate of 20% on
SR&ED  expenditures each year. These ITCs are available for application  against
the Canadian  subsidiary's  federal income taxes payable.  Unclaimed ITCs can be
carried  forward for a period of 10 years.  In addition to this  benefit,  SR&ED
expenditures  incurred  by the  Company's  Canadian  subsidiary  are  deductible
against taxable income. The undeducted SR&ED expenditures can be carried forward
indefinitely.  A  significant  amount of the research and  development  expenses
reported on the income statement qualify as SR&ED expenditures.  The Company has
elected to utilize SR&ED  expenditures  to reduce taxable income and its ITCs to
reduce taxes payable to nil. As a result, ITCs (ITC recoveries) in the amount of
($94,008) and $307,294 were utilized  (recovered)  for the three months and nine
months ended June 30, 2000,  respectively  to reduce taxes  payable to nil. ITCs
were netted  against  (added to) the related  capital  assets and  research  and
development  expenditures  in the amount of $81,842 and ($175,850) for the three
months  ended and $148,666 and $158,628 for the nine months ended June 30, 2000.
For the three months and nine months ended June 30, 1999, ITC claims of $196,066
and  $571,085,  respectively,  were  netted  against  research  and  development
expenses.

Net Loss for the Period

         Net loss for the three  months and nine months  ended June 30, 2000 was
$1,058,628,  and  $737,403,  representing  decreases  of  3,147.6%  and  602.6%,
respectively,  over net income of $34,737 and  $146,707 for the three months and
nine months  ended June 30, 1999,  respectively.  Net loss,  as a percentage  of
sales,  was 78.6% and 13.0% for the three  months and nine months ended June 30,
2000, respectively,  compared to net income as a percentage of sales of 2.1% and
3.2% for the three  months and nine months  ended June 30,  1999,  respectively.
This decrease in net income was due primarily to an increase in wages and hiring
costs as a result of additional employees,  increase in depreciation expense due
to  significant  capital  expenditures  and  the  implementation  costs  of  the
Company's business planning software - "J.D. Edwards".

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company's  principal  source  of  liquidity  as of June  30,  2000
consisted of $3,626,693 in cash,  cash  equivalents  and short-term  investments
compared to $4,474,174 as of September 30, 1999.

         For the nine months  ended June 30,  2000,  net cash used in  operating
activities  was $625,809.  The principle use of cash was an increase in accounts
receivable of $618,610, a decrease in accounts payable of $162,548,  an increase
in  inventories  of $269,040  and increase in prepaid  expenses of $57,519.  The
principle  source of cash was an increase of accrued  liabilities of $82,008 and
an increase in deferred revenue of $760,919.  Cash used in investing  activities
was $1,268,258 and reflected the purchase of hardware and software tools used to
design and validate new  products.  Cash  provided by financing  activities  was
$1,038,358  as a result of the  exercise of stock  options.  The net decrease in
cash and cash equivalents after all activities was $855,709.

         The Company  believes that its existing cash,  cash flow generated from
operations  and funds  available  under its line of credit will be sufficient to
meet its capital,  operating and research and  development  requirements  for at
least the next 12 months.  However, there can be no assurance that events in the
future will not require the Company to seek additional  capital sooner or, if so
required,  that such capital will be available on terms  favorable or acceptable
to the Company, if at all.
