PREPARED BY MANAGEMENT WITHOUT AUDIT
Note to the Interim financial statements dated January 31, 2000:
Note 1. Interim financial statements:
The unaudited management prepared financial statements of Titan Trading
Analytics Inc. covering the three month period ended January 31, 2000 reflect
all adjustments which are necessary to a fair statement of results for the
interim period presented, on a basis consistent with prior periods reported.
Note 2. United States accounting principles:
This note summarizes the material variations in the accounting principles;
practices and methods between Canadian and United States generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and how these variations impact the financial
statements.
a) Balance sheet
There are no differences between United States generally accepted
accounting principles and Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles that would result in material changes to the balance sheet.
b) Short-term investments
Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, short-
term investments are recorded at market value. At January 31, 2000
there were no differences between the cost and the market value of the
short-term investments.
c) Escrow shares
Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, the
3,000,000 common shares of the Company held in escrow are
considered contingent shares because the conditions for issuance are not
currently met and will not be met by the mere passage of time. If these
shares are ever released from escrow, to the extent their fair market
value exceeds their issuance price, compensation expense would be
recognized at that time by the Company.
d) Cost of sales
Under United States generally accepted accounting principles costs of
sales are required to be separately disclosed. The cost of sales for
software sales and trading income in the current and comparable prior
interim three month period is comprised of:
Jan 2000
Jan 1999
Amortization of software and systems development
$ 21,047
$ 22,425
Delivery
421
449
Cost of sales
$ 68,690
$ 58,002
e) Foreign currency translation
The application of the temporal method of foreign currency translation
used by the Company under Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles does not result in material differences from United States
generally accepted accounting principles.
f) Loss per share
Under United States generally accepted accounting principles (US
GAAP), the loss per share is calculated on the basis that the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year excludes shares
that are considered contingent shares. This means the 3,000,000 escrow
shares are excluded from the calculation under US generally accepted
accounting principles. On that basis, calculation of the loss per share for
the current reporting period under US generally accepted accounting
principles is as follows.
During the nine month period ended January 31, 2000 the weighted
average number of shares outstanding was 8,857,001 (JANUARY
31,1999 - 8,857,001). 3,000,000 of that total are escrow shares.
Therefore, under US GAAP, the loss per share for the three month
period ended January 31, 2000 is 2.1 cents per share ( for the
comparative three months ended JANUARY 31,1999 the loss was 0.8
cents per share).
g) Development stage enterprise
Under United States generally accepted accounting principles the
Company is considered to be a development stage enterprise and all
revenues and expenses and cash flows from inception to the reporting
date are to be reported.
The Company's consolidated revenue and expenses from incorporation
on November 30, 1993 to January 31, 2000 are:

______________________________________________________
________________________
One of the highlights of our 1999 Annual Report was the
announced completion of the beta test version of our new Internet
based financial services business. The new site features our new
online stock trading solution, with full e-commerce capability for
online transaction processing on secure servers. This development
proved much more difficult to complete than first expected and
took many months longer than we first expected. The site finally
went online in late February 2000. The new web site at
www.titantrading.com contains our new Platinum Alert stock
screening and stock market timing solution for brokers, clients and
private e-traders.
The new site will soon also feature a new, lower cost TitanGold
stock screening service on mid cap and small cap stocks, expected
to provide a much wider scope trading solution intended to meet a
much wider range of Internet based stock trader needs.
A significant feature of the new site is the section providing
written testimonials from long time users of the previous Titan
site. The receipt of these high quality testimonials proves the
value of what we have created and points to the long term potential
to the Company. The ability to now publish these testimonials on
the Titan site provides an important and valuable resource in our
planned marketing, sales and promotion plans.
Our new Internet marketing and product strategy was implemented
in response to existing customer feedback received during 1999 to
the existing stock market timing service that we provided for the
past three years. Under our new strategy, we are making a
transition to a paid subscriber based online financial services
company, servicing the needs of the US full service stock
brokerage community, as well as the private online stock trading
community. The private trader market is now estimated to have
grown to 10,000,000 potential traders worldwide.
The focus of the present business plan is to publish and market our
online paid monthly subscription services as noted below.
Following the marketing launch, certain high traffic sections of the
Titan web site are expected to be supported by sponsor's
advertising revenues. There are several components of our planned
subscription services, as follows:
1. the stock market timing indicator service, by email,
wireless and website.
2. the Platinum Alert stock screening of big caps Nasdaq
and NYSE stocks.
3. the TitanGold stock screening of mid cap and small cap
US stocks.
4. special situation trading alerts by email.
5. core stock portfolio analysis for long term buy and hold
investing.
6. the market timing service for investor covered call
writing strategies.
Each of these planned separate services will target specific
segments of the marketplace and exploit different aspects of
Titan's unique trading technology, offering subscriber's better
choices, greater value, and more cost effective trading solutions to
exploit.
The timing of our planned business expenditures during the next
few quarters is conditional upon additional equity placements of
our securities being made during the next 12 months. We are
presently in negotiations to secure additional sources of equity
capital to fully fund our marketing plans and expect to announce
progress in that area very soon.
We expect to make the following planned expenditures in our
business over the next 12 to 18 months:
1. $500,000 on television, radio and Internet advertising.
2. $100,000 on Internet servers & communications
equipment.
3. $750,000 for additional staffing of the marketing
launch of the subscription service.
4. $145,000 in software and systems research and
development for 12 months.
The net loss for the current quarter was $102,485, compared to a
loss of $48,084 in the same period last year. The increased loss is
the result of the significant change in our business plans, new
product offerings and marketing and distribution strategy. There
was a sharp drop in software sales and trading revenues compared
to the same period last year, as both of these aspects of our
business have now been discontinued, to accommodate the new
subscription service and our new Internet marketing strategy. This
resulted from the shift in the focus of all our developmental efforts
during the past several months toward preparation for the service
providing high quality online stock trading solutions. Active
selling efforts on VirtualTrader software ended as we cancelled
marketing and sales efforts on that product, which is no longer
compatible with the new version of TradeStation.
Expenses during this quarter dropped to $122,575 compared to
$142,495 in the same peiod last year, resulting mainly from the
drop in marketing and promotion expenses. A foreign exchange
loss was incurred in the amount of $7,147 on closing out and
converting US dollar denominated inactive trading account
balances. System testing expenses for this period were $NIL,
compared to $10,940 in the same period last year. Other than those
two items, all other expenses were at similar levels to the same
period last year.
During the quarter we invested $39,097 in software and systems
development, compared to $42,244 in the same period last year
and invested $3,144 in new computer equipment, compared to
$15,389 in the same quarter last year.
During the next quarter we expect to have all aspects of our new
online financial services business fully operational and ready to
handle the increases in volume we expect to result from a much
more active and aggressive marketing and sales program for the
new service.
Titan now expects to file the application for NASD OTC bulletin
board listing in April 2000.
