THE COMPANY
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
October 13, 1995 under the name "Painted Desert Farms, Inc." The Company changed
its name to "Third Millennium Software Corp." on January 5, 1998, and then to
"Bidhit.com, Inc." on May 7, 1999. The Company has not been involved in any
bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings. There has been no material
reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of significant
assets not in the ordinary course of the Company's business.
Bidhit.com, Inc. is an e-commerce company that has developed an
interactive online auction house business. The Company's web site is located at
www.bidhit.com. The Company specializes in providing business-to-business and
business-to-consumer e-commerce, ensuring customers of high quality merchandise
directly from certified vendors or manufacturers. The Company does not accept
auction items from individuals.
The Company uses auctions as a tool to build a loyal base of customers
most of whom will be approached to purchase additional products-whether they are
an individual or another business. Currently it has over 100,000 registered
bidders. In 1999 the Company experienced an increase in page views. Since June
30, 1999, visits to the company web site and page views have risen at a rate of
approximately 700% to over 6.1 million page views in December.
In building its online business, the company has focused on providing
an easy to use web site, outstanding customer support and building a network of
reputable product suppliers. The Company's online auction combines the latest
advances in web software technology with the highest level of Internet security.
The Company has invested in the development of new, proprietary auction
software that will, when complete, operate on Microsoft software. It is
anticipated this new software will be launched in the 3rd quarter, 2000.
In September 1999, the Company signed an agreement with VAC Service
Corporation. As part of the agreement, the Company will offer extended service
plans to repair or replace defective consumer goods. This offering will add to
the revenue of the company while providing customer benefits.

In December, the Company developed an alliance with Hollinger
International, which included an investment in Bidhit.com by this leading media
company. The Company continues to explore ways to develop a co-branded web site
with the Chicago Sun-Times and other newspapers and web sites operated by
Hollinger International.
Illustrating the Company's commitment to customers, it was accepted by
the Better Business Bureau to display the BBB On Line logo. The Company was
approved for listing in the Standard and Poor's Standard Corporate Records. In
December, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") approved Bidhit.com for
full reporting status under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company currently has 10 full-time employees and no part-time
employees. Tim Black, President and Jeff Mendenhall, Vice-President of the
Company, are under 2 year employment contracts. See also Item 9 "Executive
Compensation."
The Company is not a manufacturer and does not deal with any raw
materials. It has a wide variety of certified suppliers. As an Internet sales
company with a broad customer base, the Company does not have a dependence on
one customer.
The Company has no patents or trademarks in place or pending at this
time. The Company has no franchises and does not have any royalty agreements in
place.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
The Company specializes in online auctions that develop loyal
customers, in both the business-to-customer and business-to-business markets.
The Company has specialized in auctioning brand name computers, other
computer products, software, consumer electronics, sports memorabilia, other
customer goods and business products. The Company is combining this strategy
with cutting-edge database reporting and tracking capabilities, consistent with
its privacy and permission marketing policies, to institute a database-driven
relational marketing program to serve the needs and interests of its community.
Presently, the Company offers close to 1,000 products for sale each
week, during two auction periods. The Company derives commission revenue from
its pre-qualified or certified vendors based on completed product sales. At the
close of each auction, each pre-qualified vendor is forwarded their respective
order information, and the items are drop-shipped directly to the customer. The
Company holds no inventory and assumes no liability for the items offered for
auction.
The Company operates an online auction for new and excess branded
merchandise, offering closeout and refurbished products to consumers and small
to medium-sized businesses. The Company's online auction represents an exciting
sales format for users that leverages the interactive nature of the Internet.
The Company's Internet auctions feature a rotating selection of brand name
computer, consumer electronics and housewares, and sports and recreation
products, which typically sell at significant discounts to prices, found at
traditional retailers.
The Company believes its competitive edge will be in building its
online community and in attracting and retaining its customers with the use
of highly focused and effective consumer education and customer service
programs. The Company's research indicates that many e-commerce consumers and
online auction customers find it difficult to obtain reliable and
authoritative product and category information and that they are often
disappointed with the nature and quality of the product and the reliability
of the vendor. The Company is focusing on meeting these consumer needs to
develop a loyal customer base. The Company is currently developing a Customer
Education Center that will strive to provide accurate and unbiased
information on products.
All merchandise is provided through agreements between the Company
and approved, certified vendors, virtually eliminating inventory and
distribution costs for the company. This allows the Company to auction the
newest products and the latest technology without the concern for unsold
inventory and ultimately cash flow constraints.
The Company was the first online auction company to introduce "Live
Chat Help." This service allows a customer to instantly start an online
electronic chat with a Bidhit.com customer service representative. This new
customer service began in December 1999, with positive endorsements from
Bidhit.com users.
The Company uses high standards of network security to protect customer
information, including credit card data. Financial information is encrypted on
the Company's own secure servers. The Company follows all applicable federal and
state laws to assure customers their names and information are not used without
their permission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company was not operational in fiscal year 1998 and therefore did
not have any revenues for operations for such fiscal year. The Company's total
revenues for 1999 were $17,776, which consisted of sales commissions derived
from $160,781 in total transaction values conducted through our web site in
1999, of which $67,481 occurred in the fourth quarter. In 1999, our total
operating expenses were approximately $2.4 million which consisted principally
of approximately $0.8 million in consulting fees, $0.5 million in marketing
materials, $0.9 million in professional fees and $0.2 million in salaries and
bonuses. As a result, the Company had a net operating loss of approximately $2.3
million, or $0.38 per share, for 1999.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company's plan of operation for the next twelve months is to expand
the auction sales revenue of its certified suppliers and increase its own sales
revenue from auctions, e-commerce and in business-to-business vertical markets.
REVENUE SOURCES
The primary sources of revenue in the year 2000 are expected to be generated
from the following primary categories:
- Auctions
- Co-Branded Auctions
- Business to Business Markets
- "Buy-Side" e-Commerce Model
- Sales of Extended Services and Product Accessories
In the electronic commerce industry, a strong brand is critical to
creating a high level of vendor awareness and attracting customer traffic.
Accordingly, the Company's strategy is to aggressively increase its visibility
and brand recognition through a variety of marketing and promotional efforts.
Specifically, the Company intends to increase marketing through other on line
companies including AOL, CNET, MSN/LinkExchange, Better Business Bureau, BidFind
and other companies.
CORE MARKETING & MERCHANDISING STRATEGIES
The online auction strategy is based on two basic objectives to build
customer loyalty, add new customers and increase per capita sales:
- Brand Building Strategy
- Merchandising Tactics
Integrated marketing will be executed that includes brand building
focused on customer attraction and retention. In this integrated plan,
advertising tactics include full utilization of the $1 million advertising
budget (as of 12/31/99) in Hollinger print and online publications, selected
print advertising, online ad exchanges, use of specialized (internal and
external) email lists to promote auctions and products, contests, games and
auctions to benefit non-profit, charity groups.
The merchandising tactics will build brand, retain customers and
increase the average sale price per customer. There are many merchandising
tactics that will be used, including:
6
<PAGE>
- Upsales of Extended Service Plans and Accessories
- Upsale of extended service plans will add substantially to
the gross margin per sale
- Extended Selling to Bidders
- Additional accessory and extended plan sales come from the
auction side and, in the future, from a more traditional
e-commerce, "buy-side" model
The Company is developing a new web site that it expects will expand
the number of auctions, increase its own sales by selling accessories and
extended service plans, expand sales in the business-to-business market and add
a "buy side" web site. The Company does not expect any purchase or sale of plant
or significant equipment. It does expect a substantial investment in the
development of new auction and e-commerce software. The Company plans to add
employees as needed and as projects grow and expects to add 8 full-time
employees in the next 12 months.
The Company will continue to develop merchandising techniques that seek
to maximize revenues through direct marketing. The Company's transaction process
software enables true data warehousing. The Company continues to improve its use
of valuable customer information to project and plan product offerings. This
will allow the Company to offer customers products that meet their interests
and current demand.
Furthermore, the Company will attempt to offer customers a unique
retail experience--the opportunity to set their own prices on popular, brand
name products with the convenience of shopping 24 hours a day, seven days a
week.
Success of special auctions highlighting Sammy Sosa and benefit for
non-profit groups with Seattle radio station KJR will form the basis of an
affinity auction strategy with other non-profit organizations.
Successful execution of database driven customer relations management
tools, specialized marketing strategies, consumer "education" content and sales
fulfillment is fundamental to the Company's success of both increasing the base
of customers and increasing the average sales revenue per customer. Both the
business-to-customer and business-to-business markets are target markets.
Core to the company's short and long-term success are strategic
alliances. Existing alliances with Hollinger International (NYSE:HLR), one of
the leading international media companies and VAC Warranty will provide core
opportunities from which the Company hopes to increase its sales. In addition,
other product manufacturers, non-profit groups, and online marketing companies
will be added to extend marketing and sales efforts.
The Hollinger alliance offers the opportunity to develop a co-branded
auction site with the Chicago Sun-Times. Slated to be developed and launched in
July 2000, this co-branded site will feature:
- Co-branded auction site
- Ties to the print and online sites of the Sun-Times
- A focus on non-profit groups
- A game or contest theme
The benefits to the Company will be a generation of new users, added
sales through Extended Services and Accessories, the "buy-side" model, and a
co-branded site that can be taken to other markets. These other markets include
other Hollinger publications. Probable Hollinger markets for the fall, 2000
include extension to the 70 other newspapers in Illinois and Canadian markets of
Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and the London (UK) Daily Telegraph.
7
<PAGE>
During the next expansion phase, the Company plans to expand its
marketing strategy to the business-to-business arena. Smaller business resellers
will be the target market.
The Company also plans to license existing software from an ASP rather
than develop its own e-commerce ("buy-side" software). There will be additional
costs for integration with the auction side and co-branded site engines.
Extended Service Plans provide purchasers "insurance" against product
failure. The plan expected to be offered by is the Company are among the
strongest available, have solid financial backing and offering the opportunity
for dramatic margins.
Additionally, sales of other accessories for both the auction and
"buy-side" are planned. As with the Extended Service Plans, these products
provide additional margins.
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information in this Report, the following risk
factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its
business. This Report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. When used in this Report, the words "anticipate," "believe,"
"effect," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions as they relate to the
Company or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. The Company's actual results, performance or achievements could
differ materially from the results expressed in or implied by these
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include,
but are not limited to, those discussed below as well as those discussed
elsewhere in this Report.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND HAVE NOT HAD PROFITABLE OPERATIONS.
Our business was founded in 1997. Because of our limited history, there
is little information that investors can use to analyze our financial results
relating to our business.
Since incorporation, on an annual basis we have not been profitable. We
lost $2,367,467 for the year ended December 31, 1999. We cannot assure you that
we will ever operate profitably.
Our ability to make a profit, if at all, is dependent upon:
- the success of our online auction business in both the
business-to-customer and business-to-business markets
- the successful acquisition of companies with compelling
intellectual properties and an established, talented and
skilled team of employees
- the development of strategic alliances with marketing and
business partners
Substantial capital is needed in the future to fund future development.
No assurance can be given that financing will be available or that, if
available, such financing will be obtainable on terms favorable to the Company
or its shareholders. To the extent we raise future capital by issuing equity or
securities convertible into equity, ownership dilution to our shareholders will
result.
OUR NEW SERVICES MAY NOT BE INTRODUCED INTO THE MARKET SUCCESSFULLY.
We cannot assure you that revenues generated from our current or future
services will meet our expectations. For example:
8
<PAGE>
- we may introduce services later to market than expected or
later to market than our competitors introduce their services
- competitors may introduce competitive services at lower prices
When we make announcements about our expected new services and service
updates, we are not promising that the new services and service updates will be
implemented on time, as expected. These announcements are made to provide
customers with a general idea of the expected availability of our services for
planning purposes. Further, we could experience delays in our expected service
availability because:
- a third party may fail to enhance their products or delay
enhancement of their products and our services are based on
technology from third parties
- key employees may leave Bidhit.com
You should not consider our announcements as a factor to predict our
profitability for any specific future period. If we delay implementation of our
services or service enhancements, it may have an adverse impact on our financial
condition. Without new services and service enhancements, our services may
become technologically outdated. As a result, our business could be adversely
affected. We cannot assure you that our future service development efforts will
be successful.
THE ONLINE AUCTION MARKET IN WHICH WE COMPETE IS EVOLVING AND OUR SUCCESS
DEPENDS IN PART ON THE SUCCESS OF THIS MARKET.
The success of our online auction business depends on the success of
the online auction industry in general. We believe that the currently successful
online auction industry is expanding. We cannot assure you that the online
auction industry will continue to gain further acceptance in the future.
The market for online auction services is successful and continues to
evolve. It is difficult to assess or predict with any assurance the size or
growth rate, if any, of this market. We cannot assure you that the online
auction services market will continue to develop, or that our services will be
successful in this market. Our business, operating results and financial
condition could be adversely affected if any of the following occur:
- the markets do not remain successful or do not continue to
develop
- the markets develop more slowly than we expect
- the markets attract new competitors
- our products do not achieve market acceptance
EVEN IF OUR SERVICES GAIN BROADER MARKET ACCEPTANCE, OUR COMPETITORS HAVE MANY
ADVANTAGES OVER US AND THERE ARE NO ASSURANCES THAT WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS
COMPETITIVE MARKET.
The market for online auction services is increasingly competitive and
subject to rapid change. Further, the market can be significantly affected by
the introduction of new services and other activities of companies in this
market. Our competitors offer a variety of products and services to address the
needs of the market in which we sell our services. We believe that the principal
competitive factors in this market are:
- brand awareness
- flexibility
- strategic relationships to drive traffic
- service quality
- functionality and service features
- company reputation
9
<PAGE>
Direct and indirect competitors in the online auction industry include
eBay and uBid as well as several other larger entrants into this market. We
expect to face competition in the future from these and other companies. Some of
these competitors and future competitors have an advantage over us because they:
- have name recognition
- have significantly greater financial, technical, and other
resources
- have well-established relationships with our potential
customers
As a result, our current and future competitors may be able to devote
greater resources to the development of their products than we can. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and
future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse
effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS ARE UNCERTAIN AND WE EXPECT TO SEE FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR
QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS.
We cannot accurately forecast our revenues because of our limited
operating history and the evolving nature of the markets in which we compete.
The revenue we will receive from future sales commissions is difficult to
forecast.
We may experience significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating
results due to many factors which are outside our control, including the
following:
- demand for our services
- level of competition in the industry
- budget cycles of our customers
- timing of new service introduction and service enhancements
- activities of and acquisitions by competitors
- analysts' reports about the Company
- hiring new employees
- our ability to develop and market new services and control
costs
- general economic conditions and economic conditions specific
to the Internet and on-line commerce
TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE IN THE ONLINE AUCTION INDUSTRY, WE MUST CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP NEW SERVICES AND CONTINUE TO TRAIN OUR EMPLOYEES IN THE LATEST
TECHNOLOGIES.
Our existing technology and systems can become obsolete because:
- the online commerce market is rapidly evolving and we
might not be able to keep up with the changes
- new products and services with new technology are
introduced to the market
- new industry standards may be developed which are
different than the standards upon which our services are
based
To successfully compete, we plan to:
- develop or license state-of-the-art technologies
- enhance our existing services
10
<PAGE>
- develop or acquire new services and technologies that
address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our
prospective customers
- respond to technological changes and emerging industry
standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely
basis
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in continuing to
develop new services or responding to the technological advances of industry
standards. We also cannot assure you that our new services will achieve market
acceptance. If we are not successful (for technical, legal, financial or other
reasons) in responding in a timely manner to changes in technology and customer
preferences, significant delays in service development or introduction of new
services would have a seriously negative effect on our business.
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS IN A LARGE PART ON THE CONTINUING SERVICE OF KEY PERSONNEL.
CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS.
The loss of service of one or more of our executive officers or key
technical personnel could have a materially adverse affect on our business. To
insure that we do not lose the services of these personnel, we have entered into
employment contracts with some of our executive officers and key technical
personnel. For more details on certain of these employment contracts, see "Item
10. Executive Compensation - Employment Contracts."
We are also looking to expand the management team by adding new
executives who have the skills necessary to growing our business, including the
hiring of a full-time Chief Financial Officer. The cost and management time we
spend in expanding our management team and the resulting change in management
structure could have materially adverse effects on our business, our product
launches, and our business strategy.
WE RELY ON VARIOUS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS, CONFIDENTIALITY PROCEDURES AND
CONTRACTUAL PROVISIONS TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
We do not believe we are infringing on the proprietary rights of
others. However, we cannot guarantee that third parties will not claim that we
are infringing on their rights. If we were subject to an infringement claim, it
would have a materially adverse impact on our business because it would:
- be time consuming to defend
- result in costly litigation
- divert our management's attention and resources
- require that we enter into royalty or licensing agreements,
which may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all
AS PART OF OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY, WE ARE LOOKING AT POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS TO
COMPLEMENT OUR SERVICES AND BUT THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH
ACQUISITIONS.
As we enter into additional acquisitions, there are certain risks, such
as:
- potentially diluting our common stock
- incurring debt
- incurring contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses
related to goodwill and other intangible assets
11
<PAGE>
Other risks include:
- difficulties in assimilation of acquired operations
technologies and products
- diversion of our management's attention to other business
concerns
- risks of entering markets where we have no or limited prior
experience and
- potential loss of key employees of acquired organizations
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in integrating any new
businesses, products, technologies or personnel into our Company. Our failure to
do so could have a materially adverse affect on our business.
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON RECRUITING AND RETAINING HIGHLY SKILLED TECHNICAL AND
CONSULTING PERSONNEL.
The competition for skilled technical employees is intense and we
cannot assure that we will be successful in retaining or recruiting such
personnel. We must compete with companies that possess greater financial and
other resources than we do, and that may be more attractive to potential
employees and contractors. To be competitive, we may have to substantially
increase the compensation, bonuses, stock options and other fringe benefits
offered to employees in order to attract and retain such personnel. The
additional costs in retaining or attracting new personnel may have a materially
adverse affect on our business, our new services launches, and our operating
results.
WE DO NOT PLAN TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS.
We intend to keep all of our earnings, if any, for use in our business and
do not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws allow for dividends to be subject to the discretion of
our Board of Directors and any terms and conditions imposed by law.
IF OUR OPTIONS AND WARRANTS ARE EXERCISED, THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK WILL
EXPERIENCE DILUTION OF THEIR SHARES.
At December 31, 1999, there were approximately 1,113,750 shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Options granted at
prices ranging from $2.85 to $4.00 per share. Additionally, there are 36,780
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Warrants
granted at $3.00 per share.
If any outstanding Options or Warrants are exercised, holders of
Common Stock will be diluted. Also, sales in the public market of the Common
Stock underlying these Options and Warrants may adversely affect prevailing
market prices for our Common Stock and may adversely affect our ability to
obtain additional equity financing.
BECAUSE WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE, WE MAY
EXPERIENCE PRICE FLUCTUATION IF ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT ARE TRADED IN THE PUBLIC
MARKET. THESE SALES WOULD ALSO IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL THROUGH THE
SALE OF OUR SECURITIES.
As of March 30, 2000, there were 11,758,893 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. We cannot predict the affect, if any, that sales of shares of
Common Stock or even the availability of such shares for sale will have on the
market prices of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. The possibility
that restricted Common Stock may be sold in the public market at future dates
may adversely affect the prevailing market price for the Common Stock and could
impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE EXTREME CHANGES IN OUR STOCK PRICE.
Like other emerging e-commerce companies, the market price of our
Common Stock has been and may continue to be extremely volatile. Since our
Common Stock began listing on the OTC Bulletin Board in May 1999, the bid price
of the Common Stock has ranged from a high of $6.50 to a low of $1.93. This is
the result of a number of factors including:
12
<PAGE>
- quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations
- the announcement of technological innovations
- the introduction of new services by Bidhit.com or our
competitors
- general conditions in the e-commerce industry
- the extreme price and volume fluctuations of the stock market
in general
These market fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the
market price of our Common Stock.
BECAUSE WE ARE TRADED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THERE IS AN
ORDERLY PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK. FURTHER, THERE ARE NUMEROUS RISKS
RELATED TO BUYING LOW-PRICED STOCKS (STOCKS THAT ARE LESS THAN $5.00 PER SHARE).
Our Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a
result, you may find it more difficult to sell the Common Stock or to obtain
accurate quotations of the market value of our Common Stock as compared to
shares that are traded on the Nasdaq trading market or an exchange. We cannot
assure you that a regular trading market will develop or be sustained.
For as long as our Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and
if our trading price of the Common Stock is below $5.00 per share, trading in
our securities will be subject to the requirements of certain "penny stock"
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules require additional
disclosure to investors by broker-dealers for any trades involving a penny
stock.
Penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer deliver to the
investor a disclosure statement explaining the penny stock market and the
associated risks with the market prior to any penny stock transaction. There are
also sales practice requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to
most persons. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a
determination that the purchaser is suitable for the transaction and must
receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale.
These additional burdens on brokers and dealers may discourage them
from making transactions in our Common Stock. This could severely limit the
market price and liquidity of our securities and the ability of purchasers to
sell any of the Shares acquired in this offering in the secondary market. That,
in turn, could materially and adversely affect the market price and severely
limit the liquidity of our Common Stock.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors April 10, 2000
Bidhit.com, Inc.
(formerly Third Millennium Software Corp.)
Bothell, Washington
I have audited the accompanying , Statement of Operations, Changes in
Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows of Third Millennium Software Corp. (Formerly
Painted Desert Farms, Inc.), (A Development Stage Company) for the year ended
December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the results of operation and cash flows of
Third Millennium Software Corp. (Formerly Painted Desert Farms, Inc.), (A
Development Stage Company), for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #5 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
================================================================================
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company was organized October 13, 1995, under the laws of the State
of Nevada, as Painted Desert Farms, Inc. In accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by
Development Stage Enterprises", it is considered a development stage
company.
On January 5, 1998, the Company changed its name to Third Millennium
Software Corp.
On May 17, 1999, the Company approved a 20:1 reverse stock split, thus
decreasing the total number of shares from 5,250,000 issued and
outstanding to 262,500 issued and outstanding common shares.
On May 7, 1999, the Company changed its name to Bidhit.com, Inc.
On May 19, 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Bidhit.com, Inc. (Washington), a Washington corporation.
The Company is an e-commerce company which specializes in auctioning
name brand consumer electronics and other products from certified
vendors to customers-both individuals and businesses.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
These consolidated financial statements include Bidhit.com, Inc.
(Nevada) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bidhit.com, Inc. (Washington)
("BHcW"), which was incorporated in the state of Washington on May 19,
1999. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated upon consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all investments with a maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
LOSS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" ("SFAS 128"). Under SFAS 128, basic and diluted earnings per
share are to be presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding
(computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive
common shares.

<PAGE>
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. The
cost of capital assets is depreciated over the estimated useful lives,
ranging from four to ten years, of the related assets.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company has adopted Statement of Position 98-1 ("SOP 98-1")
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained
for Internal Use", as its accounting policy for internally developed
computer software costs. Under SOP 98-1, computer software costs
incurred in the preliminary development stage are expensed as incurred.
Computer software costs incurred during the application development
stage are capitalized and amortized over the software's estimated
useful life of three years.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company will be recognizing sales commission revenues as items are
sold on its internet site and as collection of these amounts is
reasonably assured.
ADVERTISING COSTS
The Company recognizes advertising expenses in accordance with
Statement of Position 98-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs". As such,
the Company expenses the cost of communicating advertising in the year
in which the advertising space or airtime is used.
DOMAIN NAME RIGHTS
The costs of domain name rights are amortized over 10 years from the
date of commencement of operations.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". A deferred
tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences
between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss
carryforwards. Deferred tax expenses (benefit) results from the net
change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax
laws and rates on the date of enactment.
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. In June
1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137 to defer the effective date of SFAS 133
to fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the statement will
have a significant impact on its financial statements.
REPORTING ON COSTS OF START-UP ACTIVITIES
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's
issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the Costs
of Start-Up Activities" which provides guidance on the financial
reporting of start-up costs and organization costs. It requires costs
of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as
incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998 with initial adoption reported as the cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle. The adoption of SOP 98-5 by
the Company during the year had no effect on its financial statements.
22
<PAGE>
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require, companies
to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans
at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based
compensation using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly compensation
cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted
market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the
amount an employee is required to pay for the stock.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This
statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income
and its components. The adoption of SFAS 130 had no impact on total
stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1999.
3. PREPAID EXPENSES
Included in prepaid expenses is $999,248 of prepaid contract
advertising. Pursuant to an agreement with Hollinger International,
Inc. ("Hollinger"), the Company issued 363,363 shares (Note 9) of the
Company in exchange for $1,000,000 in advertising media availabilities
in Hollinger print media. This media will be made available to the
Company on an as ordered basis for a period of 3 years. Of the total
prepaid contract advertising, $333,083 has been included as a current
portion and the remaining $666,165 has been included as a long-term
asset. This cost will be expensed as the Company orders advertising
from Hollinger.
4. NOTE RECEIVABLE
On March 17, 1997, the Company received $70,000 from Ardrail Services
Ltd., as part of a note agreement between the Company and Peat Moss
International Ltd. ("PMI"). These funds were advanced to PMI as bridge
financing prior to completion of a merger. The merger was subsequently
not completed and the funds remained outstanding as a note receivable.
Continued communications and correspondence with PMI indicate that the
note will not be repaid. The Company has made every effort to collect
the note and deemed the note to be uncollectible. During the year, a
loss has been recorded for the full amount of the note receivable.
5. NOTE PAYABLE
The Company is liable for $70,000 payable to Ardrail Services Ltd., for
the funds advanced for the loan receivable mentioned in Note 4. During
the year, the Company repaid $25,500 to Ardrail Services Ltd. as
settlement of the outstanding payable. Repayment of the balance of the
loan payable was forgiven creating a gain on forgiveness of debt in the
amount of $44,500.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On May 17, 1999, the Company implemented a 20:1 reverse stock split
(Note 1). The consolidated statements of changes in stockholders'
equity has been restated to give retroactive recognition of the reverse
stock split for all years presented by reclassifying from common stock
to additional paid-in capital the par value of consolidated shares
arising from the split. In addition, all references to number of shares
and per share amounts of common stock have been restated to reflect the
stock split.
COMMON STOCK

in cash and 926,250 common shares of the Company at a deemed value of

12. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO CASH FLOWS (cont'd....)
e) The Company granted 36,780 broker warrants at a deemed value of
$158,871 for financial advisory services (Note 15).
There were no non-cash operating, investing and financing transactions
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that
the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit
risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these
financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless
otherwise noted.
14. UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE 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 year 2000 dates is processed. In addition,
similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in
1999 to represent something other than a date. Although the change in
date has occurred, it is not possible to conclude that all aspects of
the Year 2000 Issue that may affect the entity, including those related
to customers, suppliers, or other third parties, have been fully
resolved.
15. SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS
As at December 31, 1999, the Company has 36,780 share purchase
warrants outstanding, entitling the holder to acquire common shares of
the Company at a price of $3.00 per share, expiring on December 7,
2001.

17. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", encourages but does not require companies to
record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at
fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based
compensation using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, compensation
cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of quoted
market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the
option price. No stock based compensation has resulted from the use of
this prior standard.
