     The  increase  in each  category of  revenues  during the six months  ended
December 31, 1999 was primarily  attributable to marketing efforts and increased
name brand  awareness in connection  with those efforts and the operation of our
www.ChinaE.com  site.  Nominal  revenues were received  during the quarter ended
December  31, 1999 from the  commencement  of telephone  payment  systems by the
Jiayin Joint Venture.

</TABLE>

     For the six months ended  December 31,  1999,  costs of services  increased
2039.2%, to US$597,644,  or 78.3% of net sales, compared to US$27,938, or 21% of
net sales, for the six months ended December 31, 1998.

     The principal  components  of cost of services  during the six months ended
December 31, 1999 were engineer/technician  salaries;  subcontract fees; cost of
hardware;  other costs  associated  with  support on the  engineering/technician
staff; and depreciation of equipment utilized in connection with services.

     The  increase  in  costs  of  services  was  principally   attributable  to
expenditures  to support  the  increase in net sales,  including  an increase in
engineering/technician  headcount  from 7 at December 31, 1998 to 95 at December
31,  1999 and the sale of  certain  hardware  during  the  current  period.  The
increase  in costs  of  services  as a  percentage  of  revenues  was  primarily
attributable  to the sale of  hardware  which  has a lower  profit  margin  than
service revenues.

</TABLE>

     For the six months ended  December  31, 1999,  SG&A  increased  455.3%,  to
US$550,302, or 72.1% of net sales, compared to US$99,102, or 74.7% of net sales,
for the six months ended December 31, 1998.

     The increase in SG&A has been principally  attributable to a combination of
(1) aggressive  marketing efforts associated with the commencement and growth of
revenue producing operations, including costs associated with sales commissions,
attendance at international trade conferences,  industry journal advertising and
other  related  expenses,  (2) an increase in  administrative  support staff and
corporate overhead to support anticipated growth in revenues, including non-cash
charges  totaling  US$50,463  associated  with the Company's  agreement to issue
certain shares and options to an officer, and (3) amortization of intangibles.

     The principal  components of SG&A during the six months ended  December 31,
1999  were  sales  and  marketing  salaries  and  commissions;  other  marketing
expenditures;  administrative  salaries and benefits;  other corporate  expense,
which includes occupancy expense,  general office expenses travel, general staff
welfare  expense  and  consulting  fees,  among  others;   and  amortization  of
intangibles.

     Amortization  expense  relates  eighty systems  integration  contracts from
Labtam  Corporation in July 1999. At the time of the acquisition,  five of those
contracts were active and seventy-five contracts were inactive and are viewed as
the purchase of a customer list.

                                       9
<PAGE>
     In accordance  with the terms of the agreement,  we issued 69,700 shares of
common  stock  to  Labtam  as  payment  in full  of the  purchase  price  of the
contracts.  The market  value of those  shares,  approximately  US$290,000,  was
recorded as an intangible asset.

     The  intangible   asset  is  being   amortized  over  a  24  month  period,
representing the life of the contracts.  During the six ended December 31, 1999,
we recorded a charge for  amortization  of the contracts of  US$72,464.  We will
incur amortization expense approximately US$36,000 for each quarter through June
30, 2001.

     Other Income. Other income consists principally of interest income. For the
six months ended  December 31, 1999 other income  totaled  US$4,374  compared to
US$0 of other income for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in
other income was  attributable  to  increased  balances of cash held in interest
bearing accounts.

     Minority  Interest.  Minority interest of US$19,204 was reported during the
current period.  No minority interest was reported during the prior year period.
Minority interest reflects the proportionate  interest in the earnings/(loss) of
Jiayin Joint Venture not attributable to the Company.

Material Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources.

     At December 31, 1999 we had cash and cash  equivalents  of  US$365,342  and
working  capital of  US$1,239,192  as  compared to  US$528,612  of cash and cash
equivalents and US$476,912 of working capital at June 30, 1999.

     Operations used US$611,469 of cash during the six months ended December 31,
1999 and provided  US$44,345  of cash during the six months  ended  December 31,
1998.  Funds used in operations  primarily  relate to the losses incurred during
the period,  increases  in trade and other  receivables  and  increases in other
current and  non-current  assets,  all  relating to the  start-up  and growth of
operations, which were partially offset by an increase in trade payables.

     Investing  activities used US$231,857  during the six months ended December
31, 1999 and US$20,044 during the six months ended December 31, 1998. Funds used
in investing  activities consist of purchases of equipment to support operations
and  amounts  due from our joint  venture  partner,  Jiayin  Investment  Company
Limited.

     Financing  activities  provided  US$681,159  of cash  during the six months
ended  December 31, 1999 and US$6,722  during the six months ended  December 31,
1998. The cash provided by financing  activities was attributable to the receipt
of subscription  proceeds  totaling  US$500,000  relating to the sale of 400,000
shares of common  stock and the receipt of cash from our joint  venture  partner
during the current  period and the  receipt of proceeds  from the sale of common
stock during the prior year period.

     We had no long term debt at December 31, 1999 or June 30, 1999.

     Subsequent  to  December  31,  1999,  in  January  2000,  we issued  75,512
restricted shares of common stock to Shenzhen Jiayin Investment  Development Co.
Ltd. for US$302,045 pursuant to the terms of the Jiayin Joint Venture agreement.

     In January 2000,  we also entered into private  placement  agreements  with
three investors  pursuant to which those investors agreed to purchase a total of
953,334  shares of restricted  common stock in exchange for US$3 million.  As of
January 31, 2000,  subscription  proceeds of US$1.58  million had been deposited
with us in connection with the subscriptions.

     In January  2000,  we also  signed a Letter of Intent to  purchase  Dunwell
Computer  (Hong  Kong) Ltd.  Dunwell is a Hong Kong  licensed  Internet  Service
Provider and e-commerce solutions provider.  Pursuant to the terms of the Letter
of Intent, we will pay HK$2.8 million,  approximately  US$361,757 for 70% of the
stock of Dunwell.  The purchase price is payable 50% in cash and 50% in stock at
US$3.50 per share. Closing of the purchase of Dunwell is subject to execution of
definitive documents and satisfaction of standard closing conditions.

     Depending upon the rate of growth and the growth initiatives undertaken, we
may seek additional capital in the future to support expansion of operations and
acquisitions.  We are presently  involved in discussions with various  financing
sources with respect to providing equity financing,  including completion of the
sale of shares pursuant to the offering which commenced during the quarter ended
December 31, 1999.

Certain Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

     Our operating  results have been,  and will  continue to be,  affected by a
wide  variety of factors that could have a material  adverse  effect on revenues
and profitability during any particular period,  including the level and rate of
acceptance of our products and services by the Chinese people,  continued growth
in use of the Internet in China, entry of new competition (including established
companies  from  outside  of China  and  companies  with  substantially  greater
resources),  fluctuations in the level of orders for services which are received
and can be delivered in a quarter,  rescheduling  or  cancellation  of orders by
customers,  competitive pressures on selling prices, changes in product, service
or customer  mix,  rapid  changes in  technology,  dependence  upon  certain key
employees,  availability and cost of computer technicians, loss of any strategic
relationships,  our ability to  introduce  new products and services on a timely
basis, new product and service  introductions  by our competitors,  requirements
for additional  capital to support future growth and acquisitions,  fluctuations
in exchange  rates,  and general  economic  conditions,  among  others.  Various
factors  which  effect our future  operating  results are  discussed in our Form
10-SB.

     Subsequent  to December  31,  1999,  our board  authorized  the issuance of
41,110  restricted  shares  of  common  stocks  to  selected  non-executive  key
employees with over one year  employment as a one-time bonus  recognizing  their
contribution  in the company  start-up  stage.  We expect to  recognize a charge
during the quarter  ending  March 31, 2000 in  connection  with the  issuance of
those shares.

     Future  revenues  and  operating  results  may  also  be  effected  by  the
operations  of  Dunwell  Computer  (Hong  Kong  )  Ltd.  if  we  consummate  the
acquisition of Dunwell pursuant to an existing letter of intent.

     Except  as  noted  above,  we are  not  aware  of  any  trends,  events  or
uncertainties  which  have had,  or are  reasonably  likely to have,  a material
impact on our operations or our short-term or long-term liquidity.

Year 2000 Issue

     We experienced no material  failures as a result of the Year 2000 Issue and
our financial  condition and results of operations at, and for the period ended,
December 31, 1999 were not materially effected by the Year 2000 Issue.
