(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements
(Information with respect to the six months ended August 31, 1999 is unaudited)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
The Company EZ Talk, Inc. is a Florida chartered development stage
corporation which conducts business from its headquarters in Palm Beach,
Florida. The Company was incorporated on June 10, 1998.
The Company has not yet engaged in its expected operations. The Company's
future operations will be to market a hands-free speaker system for
telephones to various consumer groups. Current activities include raising
additional equity and negotiating with potential key personnel and
facilities.
There is no assurance that any benefit will result from such activities.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The financial statements for the six months
ended August 31, 1999 and for the period from June 10, 1998 (Inception)
through August 31,1998 include all adjustments which in the opinion of
management are necessary for fair presentation. In preparing the financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
statements of financial condition and operations for the period then ended.
Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.
The following summarize the more significant accounting and reporting
policies and practices of the Company:
a) Start-up costs Costs of start-up activities, including organization
costs, are expensed as incurred, in accordance with Statement of
Position (SOP) 98-5.
b) Net loss per share Basic net loss per weighted average share is
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.
(2) Stockholders' Equity The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of
$0.0001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value
preferred stock. On June 10, 1998, the Company issued 850,000 founders
shares to its president for the value of services rendered in connection
with the organization of the Company. On the same date, the Company issued
150,000 founders shares to its secretary/treasurer and director for the
value of consulting services rendered in connection with the organization
of the Company. On June 15, 1998, the Company issued 500,000 shares of
common stock at $0.01 per share for $5,000 in cash. On July 15, 1998, the
Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share for
$5,000. On September 15, 1998, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common
stock at $1.00 per share for $50,000 in cash.
(3) Income Taxes Deferred income taxes (benefits) are provided for certain
income and expenses which are recognized in different periods for tax and
financial reporting purposes. The Company has net operating loss
carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $8,903, with $8,743
expiring in 2019, and $160 expiring in 2020.
The amount recorded as deferred tax assets as of August 31, 1999 is $1,752,
which represents the amount of tax benefit of the loss carryforward. The
Company has established a 100% valuation allowance against this deferred
tax asset, as the Company has no history of profitable operations.
(4) Going Concern As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the
Company incurred a net loss of $8,903 for the period from June 10, 1998
(Inception) through August 31, 1999. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent upon commencing operations and obtaining
additional capital and financing. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is is unable to
continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking financing to
allow it to begin its planned operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
General
Since its inception, the Company has conducted minimal business
operations except for organizational and capital raising activities. The Company
has not realized significant revenues since its inception due to the fact that
it has generally has been inactive, having conducted no business operations
except organizational and fund raising activities since its inception. As a
result, from inception (June 10, 1998) through August 31, 1999, the Company had
no income. Cumulative operating expenses as of August 31, 1999 were $8,903.00.
The Company proposes to engage in the business of distributing hands-free
portable phone speaker systems..
Dervaes decided to pursue the distribution and sale of a hands-free
portable phone speaker business via the Company because of the belief that his
many years of business experience, when combined with Ms. Johanna Bonnier's
experience in the marketing and sales of consumer products, will allow them to
develop a successful marketing and distribution company which will have the
advantages of, among other things, greater availability of capital and potential
for growth through the vehicle of a public company as compared to a
privately-held company. The time required to be devoted by Dervaes and Bonnier,
to manage the day-to-day affairs of the Company is presently estimated to be
approximately five to ten hours per week. This time commitment is expected to
increase at such time, if ever, as EZT obtains sufficient funding with which to
commence the search for a corporate headquarters.
After obtaining a license to distribute a hands-free portable phone
speaker system the Company will be dependent upon Mr. Dervaes to develop the
client base with whom to place distribution agreements. Mr. Dervaes has
extensive business experience and has managed his own business for the last two
(2) years. While Mr. Dervaes has been successful in the past, there can be no
assurance that he will be successful in building the client base necessary for
the successful operation of the Company.
Plan of Operation
If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations
to implement its expansion plans, management intends to explore all available
alternatives for debt and/or equity financing, including but not limited to
private and public securities offerings.
Mr. Dervaes, at least initially, will be solely responsible for
obtaining a license to distribute a hands-free portable phone speaker system .
However, at such time, if ever, as sufficient operating capital becomes
available, Mr. Dervaes expects to employ additional staffing and marketing
personnel. In addition, the Company expects to continuously engage in market
research in order to monitor new market trends, seasonality factors and other
critical information deemed relevant to EZT's business.
The Company's objective is to become a dominant market leader in the
sales of hands-free portable phone speaker systems, beginning in Palm Beach
County, Florida,(the Southeastern United States), expanding to New York City
(the Northeastern United States), and then to Los Angeles(Far West United
States) and, eventually throughout the entire United States, thereafter into
selected geographical territories world-wide. To achieve this objective, and
assuming that sufficient operating capital becomes available, the Company
intends to: (i) provide a comprehensive hands-free portable phone speaker
<PAGE>
packages with associated financing programs to both individuals and bulk
purchasers and, (ii) focus initially on Palm Beach County (the Southeastern) and
New York City(Northeastern) United States markets which have high growth
opportunities.
Due to the limited capital available to the Company, the principal
risks during its initial marketing phase are that the Company is dependent upon
Mr. Dervaes' efforts, that Mr. Dervaes lacks experience and that the Company
will not be able to establish a sufficiently profitable client base to establish
the business.
For the period from June 10, 1998 through August 31, 1999, the Company
had a cumulative loss from operations aggregating $8,903.00.
Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Company has generally been inactive, having conducted no business
operations except organizational and fund raising activities since its
inception. To date the Company has no products, no customers, no revenues, and a
history of losses. EZT received gross proceeds in the amount of $60,000 from the
sale of 1,050,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), in two(2) offerings conducted pursuant to Section 3(b) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and Rule 504 of Regulation D
promulgated thereunder ("Rule 504"). These offerings were made in the State of
New York and Florida. The Company undertook its first offering of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to Rule 504 on June 15, 1998 and its second offering of
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 504 on September 15, 1998. A
Confidential Offering Circular was used in connection with these offerings, and
a summary of the business plan of the Company was included with each Offering
Circular.
The Company has no potential capital resources from any outside sources
at the current time. It is anticipated that the Company will require only
nominal capital to maintain the corporate viability of the Company. Any
additional capital needed will most likely be provided by the Company's existing
shareholders or its officers and directors.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon the availability of obtaining additional capital and financing from such
shareholders and directors.
Net Operating Losses
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for income tax
purposes of $8,903.00 which expire in the years 2019 and 2020. Until the
Company's current operations begin to produce earnings, it is unclear whether
the Company can utilize such carryforwards.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating its information
technology for Year 2000 compliance. The Company does not expect that the cost
to modify its information technology infrastructure to be Year 2000 compliant
will be material to its financial condition or results of operations. The
Company does not anticipate any material disruption in its operations as a
result of any failure by the Company to be in compliance.
