ITEM 6. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Products and Services.
BrowseSafe is a web content review Company whose web program tool is
called "PlanetGood". PlanetGood is not a filter or blocker. The families,
schools and businesses using PlanetGood will be afforded Internet safety while
still having the freedom to choose the content they determine is appropriate for
themselves and their children. PlanetGood is a browsing device that includes a
world-wide site submission and review process and offers continual updating for
its users.
PlanetGood offers several levels or modes of protection when viewing the
Internet: (1) a mode called "PlanetWow" designed to direct children 10 and under
to educational and fun web sites; (2) a level called "PlanetCool" to direct
teens aged 11 to 16 to sites appropriate for teens; and (3) a level called
"PlanetHome" that allows adults to reach sites consistent with adult interests.
PlanetGood compliments or replaces existing browsers, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, with a PlanetGood customized version of
these browsers. PlanetGood installs a client-side program called PlanetGood
Stealth which can be customized by the parent (or teacher, system administrator,
librarian) and it runs transparently on the personal computer. The Stealth
program empowers the parent to allow or disallow non-protected browsers, chat
programs and audio or video utilities and has a selectable parental bypass
feature. PlanetGood can also be installed in networked environments.
Once installed on a personal computer or in a networked environment, the
user is prompted to type in their personalized user name and password and is
directed to the PlanetGood's server-side technology. This technology allows
parents the flexibility to customize the Internet sites available to each member
of the family, depending upon their personal preferences and the ages of their
children. Parents are empowered to choose the web content by selecting browsing
variables for each member of their family. They also benefit from parental
controls such as "site preview" and "site over-ride" so they can further
customize the content and time frames for their children to view individual web
sites.
Each site which is available on PlanetGood is personally reviewed by
BrowseSafe's trained staff. A basic principle which governs BrowseSafe is that
the site review system is the only process that can insure accuracy. An
illustration of this feature is the area of nudity and sexual language. On the
web, these topics are seen in many forms and technology alone cannot decipher
the vast differences that may occur between a pornographic site, a photography
studio site containing nude pictures, a medical sexual anatomy site, a 16th
century art site containing nude paintings, a medical site containing sexually
related
1
<PAGE>
diagrams, a lingerie and intimate apparel site or sites that simply discuss
mature sexual language in an explicit way without any graphics or pictures
whatsoever. The only reliable way to properly analyze these diverse sites is
through human review. Further, without human review, there is no other accurate
way to segment a site so that parents can allow access to certain areas of a
site but restrict access to other areas of the site that they deem to be
inappropriate.
During the review process, each site is given a topic and, if
applicable, may also be assigned a combination of any of the following
characteristics: Alcohol, Alternative Lifestyles, Art - Nudity, Chat, Extreme
Beach / Intimate Apparel, Firearms and Hunting, Gambling, Games, Illegal Drugs,
Jokes & Humor, Mature Sexual Language, Mature Subject Matter, Medical Anatomy,
Medical Terminology - Sexual, Message Boards, Music, New Age / Eastern
Religions, News, Occult, Ordering on-line, Paranormal, Personal Web Pages,
Pop-Culture, Profanity - Excessive, Profanity - Mild, Reviews & Critiques,
Science-Fiction, Search Engine, Sports, Television & Movies, Tobacco, Video or
Audio, Violence - Mild, Violence - Moderate and Violence - Excessive.
For a web site to be accessible to any PlanetWow or PlanetCool account,
the site must have been reviewed and assigned a topic and, if appropriate,
applicable characteristics. If a PlanetWow or PlanetCool user wants to go to a
site that has not been reviewed, they can immediately submit the site for review
or the parent can preview the site to determine whether to allow access by a
child until the site has been reviewed by the BrowseSafe reviewer. Users of
PlanetHome may opt for the same level of security as either PlanetWow or
PlanetCool. In the alternative, the parent may utilize "Free Roam Browsing" or
choose to bypass the PlanetGood system altogether.
In order to stay ahead of demand, the Company has a review capacity of
9,000 sites per week as of November, 1999, with a goal of 15,000 by the first
quarter of 2000. In order to grow to this capacity, the Company intends to
double the size of its site review team.
In addition, BrowseSafe is developing a fourth product that is currently
a pilot program scheduled for full release in the first quarter of 2000 under
the name "PlanetGood Enterprise". This business productivity tool will be
functionally different than BrowseSafe's home product, however, it can be
customized by each business to give an unlimited number of employees
predetermined safe access to the Internet. PlanetGood Enterprise will have full
reporting capabilities by individual employee and will be easily managed by the
business owner or system administrator.
Employees and Training.
As of November, 1999, BrowseSafe has 9 full-time employees, including
executive officers. It also has 6 part-time employees and 26 outside sales
representatives. The Company does not have any agreements with labor unions, and
experiences a low turnover rate among its employees and independent contractors.
All of the employees are required to complete in-house training programs which
include an orientation, review of standard
2
<PAGE>
operating procedures manual, seminars in updated and new techniques and
information and regular performance reviews.
The review staff is provided with an initial intensive training program
that consists of an overview of the Company, its policies, products and the
basic technology, including topics and characteristics training. Reviewers must
then complete several rigorous training sessions interacting with BrowseSafe's
proprietary technology and incorporating the human interaction necessary to
provide accuracy in the content review process.
During and after completion of training, each reviewer is monitored by
and in contact with their site review manager. New reviewers are evaluated by
managers and based on their level of competency, may receive more
responsibilities in the review process. The most efficient and competent
reviewers may move on to become site review managers and take on the added tasks
that are required by the site review manager's job description. Site reviewers
are regularly monitored for accuracy and further training is assigned as
warranted.
Competition.
The Company under its business plan, which was completed in September,
1999, will be competing for a share of the Internet safety browser business
dominated presently by a number of large, full-service organizations. The
principal competitors include Cyber Patrol, Cyber Sitter, Net Nanny and Surf
Watch. Most Internet filters merely provide a list of prohibited web sites and
are weakened by changes in the Internet and by clever users who learn how to
circumvent them. PlanetGood provides a positive list of sites that have been
reviewed for content and are updated on BrowseSafe servers for all users to
freely access. Every web site viewable through "PlanetGood" has been viewed and
characterized for content by the Company's staff review team - sites are not
determined to be "good" or "bad", they are simply reviewed objectively for the
content actually contained on the site.
Business Development.
BrowseSafe, LLC was formed as an Indiana limited liability company in
the first quarter of 1998 in Indianapolis, Indiana, as a result of a growing
demand by families and businesses for a safe Internet browser. On July 28, 1998,
BrowseSafe.com, Inc. was incorporated as a Nevada corporation but conducted no
operations and had no assets until May, 1999.
In contemplation of a share exchange with Motioncast Television
Corporation of America described below, BrowseSafe, LLC and BrowseSafe.com, Inc.
entered into an Asset & Liability Contribution Agreement in May, 1999. The other
parties to the Asset & Liability Contribution Agreement were Minati Financial,
Inc., Torquay Holdings, Ltd.,Vista Financial Corp., El Coyote Capital Corp.,
Jupiter Financial Services, Inc., Kyline Investment Corp., Chariot Group, Ltd.,
Sid-Barney, Inc., Sterling Overseas Investments SA, Albury Capital Corp.,
Eivissa Capital Corp., Hemisphere & Associates, Ltd., Barisal Capital
Corporation and Fergus Capital Corporation (collectively the "Funding Group").

Pursuant to the Asset & Liability Contribution Agreement, the Funding
Group agreed to contribute or cause to be contributed the following funds to
BrowseSafe.com, Inc.
a) $27,380 upon execution of the Agreement;
b) $300,000 on or before June 10, 1999; and
c) $1,500,000 not later than November 30, 1999.
In exchange, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. agreed to issue 2,738,000 shares of its common
stock to the Funding Group. In addition, BrowseSafe, LLC agreed to contribute
all of its assets and liabilities, including its intellectual property to
BrowseSafe.com, Inc. in exchange for 11,200,000 shares of its common stock. For
accounting purposes BrowseSafe LLC was treated as the acquirer. All transferred
assets and liabilities were recorded at their historical cost.
The primary business reasons for the Asset and Liability Contribution
Agreement were: 1) to raise additional funds for the operation of the business;
and 2) to contribute all assets to an entity that could then be merged into a
corporation whose stock was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board (a limited
liability company could not be merged into a corporation). At the time of the
execution of the Asset and Liability Contribution Agreement it was contemplated
that the merger candidate would be Motioncast Television Corporation of America.
Effective as of June 24, 1999, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. and its
shareholders, BrowseSafe, LLC and the Funding Group, entered into a Share
Exchange Agreement with Motioncast. Motioncast was a Nevada corporation
incorporated on June 8, 1990, whose stock was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board
under the trading symbol MCTV. As of the date of the share exchange, Motioncast
had no operations, had assets consisting of only of cash and had minimal
liabilities. Motioncast was considered a development stage company.
The Share Exchange Agreement provided that 13,938,000 shares of the
common stock of BrowseSafe.com, Inc. would be exchanged for 13,938,000 shares of
the common stock of Motioncast. Also, 36,838 shares of the common stock of
Motioncast were also to be issued to the Funding Group. In addition, the Share
Exchange provided for: a) representations and warranties by BrowseSafe.com, Inc.
and Motioncast, which representations and warranties were typical of
transactions of this nature; b) an indemnity agreement by BrowseSafe.com, Inc
and Motioncast; and c)conditions precedent to the exchange all of which were
satisfied prior to the closing.
On the date of the share exchange, certain members of the Funding Group
were also shareholders of Motioncast. The Company has identified the following
entities that were both members and shareholders: Barisal Capital Corp. (owned
100,000 shares of Motioncast), Eivissa Capital Corp. (owned 100,000 shares of
Motioncast), Fergus Capital Corp. (owned 100,000 shares of Motioncast) and
Albury Capital Corp. (owned 100,000 shares of Motioncast). It is the Company's
understanding that the Funding Group had direct or indirect control of
Motioncast prior to the date the Share Exchange Agreement was executed.
As a result of the share exchange, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. became a wholly
owned subsidiary of Motioncast. Motioncast changed its name to BrowseSafe.com,
Inc. and changed its trading symbol to PGPG. BrowseSafe.com, Inc. changed its
name to BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. As of November, 1999, all operations are
conducted in BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. For financial statement purposes,
BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. is considered the acquiring Company and the merger
is treated as a "reverse acquisition". Pursuant to this accounting treatment,
BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. is deemed to have issued stock for the acquisition
of Motioncast.
Pursuant to the Asset & Liability Contribution Agreement and the Share
Exchange Agreement, the Funding Group was obligated to contribute $300,000 to
BrowseSafe.com, Inc. within ten business days of the closing of the share
exchange ($600,000 of total funding). Upon receipt of the $300,000,
BrowseSafe.com was to issue an additional 83,162 shares to the Funding Group. To
date, the Funding Group has contributed only approximately $100,000 of the
required $300,000. In addition, the Funding Group was obligated to cause
BrowseSafe.com, Inc. to receive at least $1,500,000 of proceeds from the sale of
common stock no later than November 30, 1999. The Funding Group has also failed
to complete this obligation.
In connection with the share exchange, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. was obligated to
issue 36,838 shares of its common stock to the Funding Group. These shares were
to be issued in exchange for the receipt of $82,620 in cash and the cancellation
of $50,000 in promissory notes for funding previously provided by the Funding
Group.
Due to the failure of the Funding Group to provide the full amount of the
funding required under the agreements, BrowseSafe.com has not issued the 120,000
(83,162 + 36,838) shares to the Funding Group. BrowseSafe.com, Inc. has advised
all members of the Funding Group in writing that they are in breach of the Share
Exchange Agreement and the Asset & Liability Contribution Agreement and has
provided them an opportunity to remedy the breach. BrowseSafe.com, Inc. has not
yet received any written response from the members of the Funding Group. At the
present time, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. has not determined what, if any, action it
will take against the members of the Funding Group as a result of their breach
of the agreements.

Plan of Operation.
The Company is a development stage company, has yet to generate any
material revenues and is seeking additional capital through an investment
capital company and other sources.
BrowseSafe, LLC, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. and the Funding Group entered into
an Asset & Liability Contribution Agreement in May, 1999. Pursuant to the Asset
& Liability Contribution Agreement, the Funding Group agreed to contribute or
cause to be contributed the following funds to BrowseSafe.com, Inc.
a) $27,380 upon execution of the Agreement;
b) $300,000 on or before June 10, 1999; and
c) $1,500,000 not later than November 30, 1999.
In exchange, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. agreed to issue 2,738,000 shares of its common
stock to the Funding Group. In addition, BrowseSafe, LLC agreed to contribute
all of its assets and liabilities, including its intellectual property to
BrowseSafe.com, Inc. in exchange for 11,200,000 shares of its common stock. For
accounting purposes BrowseSafe LLC was treated as the acquirer. All transferred
assets and liabilities were recorded at their historical cost.
Effective as of June 24, 1999, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. and its
shareholders, BrowseSafe, LLC and the Funding Group, entered into a Share
Exchange Agreement with Motioncast. Motioncast was a Nevada corporation
incorporated on June 8, 1990, whose stock was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board
under the trading symbol MCTV. As of the date of the share exchange, Motioncast
had no operations, had assets consisting of only of cash and had minimal
liabilities. Motioncast was considered a development stage company.
The Share Exchange Agreement provided that 13,938,000 shares of the
common stock of BrowseSafe.com, Inc. would be exchanged for 13,938,000 shares of
the common stock of Motioncast. Also, 36,838 shares of the common stock of
Motioncast were also to be issued to the Funding Group. In addition, the Share
Exchange provided for: a) representations and warranties by BrowseSafe.com, Inc.
and Motioncast, which representations and warranties were typical of
transactions of this nature; b) an indemnity agreement by BrowseSafe.com, Inc
and Motioncast; and c)conditions precedent to the exchange all of which were
satisfied prior to the closing.
As a result of the share exchange, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. became a wholly
owned subsidiary of Motioncast. Motioncast changed its name to BrowseSafe.com,
Inc. and changed its trading symbol to PGPG. BrowseSafe.com, Inc. changed its
name to BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. As of November, 1999, all operations are
conducted in BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. For financial statement purposes,
BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. is considered the acquiring Company and the merger
is treated as a "reverse acquisition". Pursuant to this accounting treatment,
BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. is deemed to have issued stock for the acquisition
of Motioncast.
The Company and its predecessor, BrowseSafe, LLC, have obtained equity
and debt financing of approximately $895,000 since its inception. The Company
has invested approximately $28,000 in purchased equipment and has entered into
operating leases for equipment that has a cost of approximately $120,000. The
Company has also invested $487,000 in research and development (including an
estimated $230,000 of costs that were incurred in the development of software.
The Company has entered into a royalty agreement with the vendor who performed
these services). The Company has also invested $173,000 in marketing and
advertising expenses and approximately $650,000 on general administration and
overhead. The Company has access to approximately $85,000 in cash for operating
capital in the form of loans from its executive officers.
As of November, 1999, the Company estimated that its cash requirements
at its then rate of operations would require cash of approximately $750,000 to
continue operations for an estimated four to six month period. On December 6,
1999, the Company sold under Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of
1933 a Series A Senior Subordinated Convertible Redeemable Debenture in a
principal face amount not to exceed $750,000 to a single accredited investor.
The terms of the debenture allow the investor to fund the debenture through
periodic payments to the Company; however, all terms of the debenture, including
interest rate, conversion provisions and maturity date, are set and are not
subject to negotiation. An initial funding of $100,000 was required in
connection with the closing on the debenture; however, future funding is
discretionary by the investor. The debenture bears interest at 8% per annum and
has a maturity date of December 6, 2001 at which time any outstanding principal
and unpaid interest is due in full.
The debenture provides for the conversion of the outstanding principal
and interest into common stock at a conversion price equal to 75% of the average
lowest closing bid price of the common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin
Board for the three consecutive trading days immediately preceding the receipt
of a notice of conversion by the Company. At the time the investor exercises its
conversion option, no new or additional consideration is required. There are
also provisions that allow the registrant to terminate funding of the debenture
prior to the date the registrant becomes a reporting company and require that
all conversions of outstanding principal to common stock must occur prior to the
date of funding termination. As of December 30, 1999, the investor had funded
$200,000 of the debenture and had converted all of this amount into 1,537,346
shares of common stock under the terms of the debenture. The Company anticipates
that the investor will continue to fund the debenture until it is fully funded
or until the Company becomes a reporting company, whichever occurs first. The
Company will record as interest expense the amount arising from the beneficial
conversion feature contained in the debenture. As of December 31, 1999, the
discount was approximately $66,000.
Over the next 12 months, the Company plans to conduct a public offering
of up to $10,000,000 under the Securities Act of 1933. Discussions are still in
the preliminary stages relating to such an offering. It will use the proceeds to
repay indebtedness, expand marketing, add to working capital and build
additional infrastructure.
The Company's short and long term capital requirements will depend upon
many factors, including acquisition of adequate funding, the rate of market
acceptance of the Company's products, the level of resources required to expand
the Company's marketing and sales organization and other factors, some of which
may be beyond the Company's control. A slower than expected rate of acceptance
of the Company's products or lower than expected revenues generated from the
sale of the products and other costs associated with upgrading the Company's
equipment would materially adversely affect the Company's liquidity. The
Independent Auditor's Report dated October 8, 1999, and prepared by Katz Sapper
& Miller, LLP contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company is in preliminary discussions with a
variety of sources in regards to providing additional funding to the Company and
believes it will obtain adequate funding to continue as a going concern. At the
present time, however, the Company has no other commitments for financing, and
there can be no assurances that any such additional financing will be available
in a timely manner, or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the
Company.

<PAGE>
Assuming it can obtain the necessary funding, the Company anticipates
incurring additional research and development costs estimated at $375,000 over
the next the 12 months of operations for such items as computer programming and
web design. As of November, 1999, the Company uses outside vendors for a
substantial portion of its computer programming and web design. The Company
expects to bring more of these services in-house where efficiencies and savings
can be expected. Updating and maintaining its web design is critical to attract
users and potential advertisers to the BrowseSafe web site. In addition, one of
the by-products of the BrowseSafe business is the accumulation of an extensive
web site content database. The Company intends to investigate the commercial
value of such data to a variety of businesses.
Equipment expenses over the next 12 months are estimated at $600,000 and
will be largely related to acquiring additional servers and increasing
bandwidth. These expenses are necessary to service the volume of users within
the Company's telecommunications and server infrastructure. These expenses also
encompass wiring, routers, load balancing and back-ups, including costs to
maintain the servers, databases, tables of customer information, phone equipment
and support for web sites.
Over the next 12 months, BrowseSafe expects to add 20 full-time
employees to support technology, sales and service and marketing. The Company
also plans to hire managers in several key areas of the organization. In
addition, 35 to 40 part-time employees will be hired to support the web content
and review process.
Intellectual Property.
BrowseSafe.com, Inc. or its wholly owned subsidiary, BrowseSafe
Technology, Inc., own all of the intellectual property assets utilized in the
business of BrowseSafe. These assets include the copyrights in existing versions
of "PlanetGood" browser software and technical manuals as well as marks
associated with BrowseSafe products and services. Applications for trademark or
service mark registration of the name "BrowseSafe" (in stylized lettering) and
the marks "PLANET GOOD," "PLANETWOW," "PLANETCOOL" AND "PLANETHOME" (all in
typed form) were filed in 1998 by BrowseSafe's predecessor-in-interest,
BrowseSafe, LLC. A registration has been issued on the Principal Register for
"PLANET GOOD" as a trademark for computer software (Reg. No. 2,288,288, dated
October 19, 1999); the four other applications remain pending.
BrowseSafe also uses two composite design marks (logos) in connection
with its products and services, neither of which is presently the subject of a
United States registration or registration application. One of these logos
incorporates the name "BrowseSafe.com" and a depiction of the Earth; the other
features the letters "PG" in a block design and is associated with the
"PlanetGood" software product.
Use of BrowseSafe's software by end-users is subject to the terms and
conditions of a license agreement which accompanies distributed copies of the
software. There are no patents or patent applications relating to BrowseSafe's
products or services.

Marketing.
BrowseSafe's browser PlanetGood has been in development for more than
two years and as of November, 1999, is being shipped to various markets.
BrowseSafe launched the product in September of 1999 and began selling the
product primarily to customers through Internet service providers and directly
under its private label program.
The marketing plan as adopted by the Company concentrates on public and
private schools, libraries, retail, business and other organizations. The
Company has divided these target markets into primary, secondary and tertiary
groups which allows it to tailor its marketing approach.
The primary markets identified by the Company are:
Internet Service Providers (ISP)
Key ISP's around the country will be solicited by the Company to
implement a three-month marketing plan designed specifically for their market.
The campaign will consist of materials to introduce the ISP's customers to
PlanetGood (e-mail, print ads, direct mail, etc.), materials for their web site
(FAQ's, online demo, downloadable product, etc.) and a local public relations
campaign.
There are estimated by Jupiter Research, an internet research Company,
to be over 6,000 ISP's nationwide, serving over approximately 15,000,000 non-AOL
Internet customers (an estimated $540,000,000 potential market). Many small to
medium sized ISP's are struggling to be profitable while offering a $19.95
unlimited usage plan. BrowseSafe's plan will be to offer through ISP's a
value-added program to their current and future customers for an additional fee
added to customers' monthly bills. This fee will be divided between the ISP and
BrowseSafe. BrowseSafe will provide all of the marketing materials and will
provide the customized ISP's with public relations support to show them how to
promote the BrowseSafe products.
Direct Sales over the Internet
The Company anticipates that this area has great potential as the US
population becomes accustomed to purchasing goods and services on the Internet.
By selling PlanetGood on the Internet, the market expands from a national to an
international audience.
Private Label
The BrowseSafe label program has been designed to be used as a
fundraising tool for churches and community service organizations, a source of
additional revenue for web site owners and an alternative business model for
non-Internet companies. By affiliating with certain nonprofit organizations, the
Company can provide a fund-raising
7
<PAGE>
mechanism for groups that have loyal followings. By delivering a message about
PlanetGood and BrowseSafe through an organization, BrowseSafe can gain
acceptance with an audience in part due to its association with the
organization. The private label program will also give the Company a presence
over the web by allowing web site owners the ability to resell PlanetGood and
receive a residual monthly income from that sale.
Retail Market
The Company will focus its initial marketing and sales efforts on
general retail, certain markets within computer retail and Christian retail
segments because these markets allow the Company access to customers who fit a
target demographic profile without requiring the Company to buy shelf space or
pay advertising fees.
General Retail
The Company believes that there are millions of homes that own a
computer but do not have Internet access. The Company also believes that
a primary reasons given for not being connected to the Internet is the
issue of on-line predators. Through groundwork already laid and a public
relations campaign designed for retailers, BrowseSafe plans to enter
into agreements to allow it the opportunity to position PlanetGood in
retail outlets. A visual presence on the shelves of retailers will
expose PlanetGood to a large volume of potential new customers.
Computer Retail
To enter into the computer retail market the Company is pursuing
a professional computer sales representation firm with 24 local and
regional representatives to position its product on the shelves of the
independent computer software retailers. This effort encompasses the
major national chains. A presence in this market is expected to enhance
the position of the Company's product nationwide.
Christian Retail
The Company has entered into an agreement with Riverside Book &
Bible House, Incorporated d/b/a Riverside Distribution & Fulfillment
Services, a distributor which specializes in selling products to the
Christian retail market. Through this organization, the Company's
products will be sold to Christian stores allowing strategic product
positioning. This retail segment is a natural market for PlanetGood as
the demographics suggest a strong family orientation.
8
<PAGE>
The secondary markets are:
Business
This area has great potential since currently many businesses using the
Internet allow employees access to the Internet either directly or through a
network. The business owner or its system administrator will be able to
customize the PlanetGood Enterprise to allow employees only into areas and sites
that are most productive for the Company. Efficiencies can be gained by the
Company since employees will not be able to spend time in non-work related
sites.
Cable Companies
As technology continues to improve, new methods of Internet access are
becoming available. One of these new avenues is the cable modem through which
cable companies can provide Internet access utilizing television cable that has
already been installed into customers' homes. Depending upon the acceptance by
consumers and marketing efforts by cable companies, this niche could grow
significantly over the next year. BrowseSafe plans to offer the same programs to
cable companies as it does to traditional ISP's.
Schools
Schools are an important area of focus because of the concern for safety
by parents and educators and their desire to offer children a positive
educational experience when browsing the Internet. Schools will be approached
with two options: The first will be the opportunity to purchase PlanetGood for
use in the classrooms. The second will be to use the fund raising program to
generate additional revenues for the school. The Company has targeted schools as
a secondary market only because there is generally a generally a time line for
decision-making and budgeting.
According to information provided by the U.S. Department of Education
for the school year 1999-2000, there are estimated over 80,000 public elementary
and secondary schools and over 26,000 private elementary and secondary schools
in the U.S. The Department of Education reports that over 95% of these 106,000
schools have computers, but less than 50% of the schools and 15% of the
computers are connected to the Internet. In the 26,000 private schools in the
U.S., there are over 626,000 computers with less than 9% of those computers
connected to the Internet. A main concern of schools without Internet
connections is exposure to unwanted or inappropriate information and sites.
Libraries
Like schools, libraries are an important area of focus because of the
concern for safety by parents and educators. PlanetGood is a suitable tool for
libraries since it is not a "one size fits all" product. BrowseSafe's
classification of web site content will permit
9
<PAGE>
the library to select the type of content for its internet access as it selects
for the books it has on its shelves.
Market OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture)
This market segment is made up of computer and parts manufacturers. By
bundling PlanetGood within new computers, users will be able to install
PlanetGood with the initial setup of the computer.
Telecommunications Companies
The telecommunications industry has recently begun to focus on the
Internet as a mean to gain new customers and keep current customers. Depending
upon the acceptance by consumers and marketing effort from the
telecommunications companies, this niche appears to be a growth area over the
next years. BrowseSafe plans to offer the same programs to these companies as it
does to traditional ISP's.
The tertiary markets are:
Advertising Sales
The Company intends to pursue the sale of advertising space on
PlanetWow, PlanetCool and PlanetHome web pages. Advertisers pay a premium for
search words so that their ad is displayed to people looking for their product
or service. BrowseSafe will be able to provide a better alternative because each
of the sites is age specific. This offers the Company the opportunity to achieve
a better target audience for a given advertiser.
e-Commerce
As Internet sales continue to grow, BrowseSafe plans to offer special
products and services to its customer base through direct marketing as well as
through an online store. This area of expansion is still in the planning stages.
Market Research Information
The list of reviewed web sites in combination with the characteristics
that describe their content will be a valuable marketing tool for marketers
around the world. The sales of segments of this list can provide an additional
revenue stream for the Company in the future.
Year 2000 Compliance.
The Year 2000 problem is the inability of some software, hardware and
systems to determine the correct century. For example, software with
date-sensitive functions that are not Year 2000 compliant may not be able to
determine whether "00" means 1900 or 2000, which may result in computer failures
or the failure of the computer to produce accurate
10
<PAGE>
information. The Company's cash flow could be adversely affected if its computer
systems, those of its clients and third party suppliers are not Year 2000
compliant.
The Company has made an assessment of the Year 2000 readiness of its
internal software and hardware systems. Its assessment plan included:
o contacting third party vendors from whom the Company purchases or
licenses its hardware, software, services and supplies;
o assessing repair, upgrade or replacement requirements and
implementing repair, software patches, upgrade or replacement;
o testing certain internal and third party, hardware, software and
systems; and
o contacting certain customers.
Since most of BrowseSafe's hardware is new, it already meets Year 2000
compliant and leap-year compliant standards. Based on the results of this
assessment, the Company recently upgraded its computer systems and has
determined that its software, hardware and computer systems are Year 2000
compliant. In 1999, the Company spent approximately $4,000 to upgrade its
computer systems. These expenses were related to time spent by employees and
consultants in the evaluation process as well as any needed repair, upgrade or
replacement.
The Company has also verified that their suppliers are Year 2000
compliant. If certain suppliers are not Year 2000 compliant, it could result in:
o a decrease in net revenues;
o an increase in the allocation of resources to address Year 2000
problems; and
o an increase in litigation costs as a result of the failure of
certain customers to pay the Company or suppliers to provide
services on a timely basis.
Furthermore, the purchasing patterns of certain customers may be
affected by Year 2000 issues as companies expend significant resources to
correct their current systems. These expenditures may result in reduced funds
available for the services and products the Company provides its customers which
could materially and adversely harm its business condition and future results of
operations.
The Company is not aware of any Year 2000 compliance problems relating
to its systems that would have a material adverse effect on its business,
results of operations, or financial condition.
Software for Servers.
All servers are using Windows NT 4.01 with Service Pack 4 and the Y2K
Update applied. SQL Server 7.0 and Netscape Proxy Server 3.5 both products are
Y2K compliant. SQL Server 7.0 (English) - Win NT

BrowseSafe Hosting Facility.
Exodus Communications, Inc., BrowseSafe's server hosting facility, has
advised BrowseSafe that it has put into place a comprehensive Year 2000 Risk
Management initiative that is appropriately funded, staffed and managed. In
addition, Exodus has advised the Company that it has established a Year 2000
Oversight Committee to manage its worldwide operations for the transition into
the next millennium. This team is chartered to manage successful completion of
Year 2000 readiness for Exodus' mission critical business processes, internal
systems, facilities and equipment.
BrowseSafe Internal Operations.
All of the computers at BrowseSafe.com have been tested based on the
NSTL Compliance test and have passed. Along with taking this precaution, the
Company has also taken the appropriate measures in making sure that all systems
will have either Windows 98 (Second Edition or the proper Y2K patches) or
Windows NT (2000 or NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5) operating systems. The Company
has taken the same measures with all other software being used within the
BrowseSafe.com architecture.
BrowseSafe Telecommunications.
T1 From SAVVIS
Testing - SAVVIS has tested all of the hardware, software, data
interfaces and facilities referred to above and has determined that
substantially all of the above are Year 2000 compliant. To the extent that such
testing has revealed instances where Year 2000 compliance is lacking, SAVVIS has
undertaken to identify the problem and has scheduled an implementation plan to
ensure timely Year 2000 compliance.
Phone System from TeleComm Industries.
COMDIAL phone system is in place and is Y2K compliant.
ITEM 7. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Office Space
Effective September 1, 1998, the Company began leasing 1,255 square feet
of office space in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, from B. B. Kirkbride. The
principal owner of Kirkbride, J. Marshall Gage, is also a director and vice
president of BrowseSafe. The Company obtained the space at $10 per square foot
which is slightly below prevalent market rental rates of $12 to $18 per square
foot for comparable Class B office space in downtown Indianapolis. The lease was
for one year with renewal and expansion options.
The Company believes that this space will provide adequate office and
working space for the technical and administrative needs of the Company for the
immediate future. Long-range future growth can be accommodated by leasing
additional space nearby.

BrowseSafe Proprietary Software
BrowseSafe also maintains three separate in-house programming test
environments which emulate the proprietary software that it uses for its
PlanetGood service. This includes both client-side and server-side emulations.
Beyond this, BrowseSafe also owns personal computer equipment, routers and hubs
for its internal operations and infrastructure.
Redundancy.
The system has been designed so that the Company will have enough
hardware to handle double the number of current customers. If loss of a server
occurs, the other servers compensate for the unit that is down until the
disabled server is back online. In addition to having redundant server
architecture, each server has redundant power supplies with the RAID
configuration of hard drives. The Raid configuration allows for multiple drives
to fail in each server without the loss of data or functionality.
Exodus Communications, Inc.
BrowseSafe also has a maintenance/operation agreement for its servers
from Exodus Communications,Inc. This Internet data facility is located on one of
the main Internet backbones and offers scalability, reliability and
manageability to run the Company's web applications. Exodus manages Internet web
sites and network infrastructure from Internet data centers located in various
major cities. The Exodus agreement is a one year agreement with monthly payments
ranging from $4,100 to $4,350 per month. This amount may increase as the Company
determines the need to expand the number of servers and/or increase the
telecommunications bandwidth necessary to facilitate its customer base. All
amounts paid to Exodus are immediately expensed by the Company. This
relationship ensures that BrowseSafe customers are given access to an Internet
network with the monitoring and security as detailed below:

At present, there are no committees of the board of directors. There are
no arrangements or understanding between any director and any other person
pursuant to which any person was elected or nominated as a director.
The Company's bylaws provide that the size of the board of directors
shall be between one and five members with the exact number within that range
determined from time to time by resolution of the board of directors. There are
presently five authorized positions as members of the board, none of which are
vacant. The five directors were appointed to the board in connection with the
closing of the share exchange effective as of June 24, 1999, to serve until the
next annual meeting of shareholders. The directors are elected by the
shareholders for one year terms. The Company anticipates expanding its board
when it has identified individuals who are prominent educators or have an
expertise in software development and other areas germane to the Company's
business.
ITEM 9. REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

it paid no compensation to executive officers and directors. As of June, 1999,
the Company engaged in a share exchange with BrowseSafe.com, Inc. which resulted
in BrowseSafe.com, Inc becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Motioncast.
Motioncast changed its name to BrowseSafe.com, Inc. and BrowseSafe.com, Inc.
changed its name to BrowseSafe Technology, Inc. As a
19

ITEM 11. INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Prior to June, 1999, the Company, which was then known as Motioncast
Television Corporation of America, had no operations, had assets consisting of
only of cash and had minimal liabilities. Motioncast was considered a
development stage company. Its stock was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board as of
October, 1998.
As of January 1, 1999, the Company entered into an employment agreement
for a period of two years with Michael Zapara, the principal shareholder of the
Company. Michael Zapara was hired as the Executive Manager of the Company to
perform such duties as were reasonably required of him in such capacity. The
compensation to be paid under this agreement was 200,000 shares of Company
common stock per year; however, pursuant to the mutual agreement of Michael
Zapara and the Company, such compensation was not paid. Effective upon the
closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, Michael Zapara and the Company agreed
to terminate the Employment Agreement in exchange for the issuance of 50,000
shares of the Company's common stock to Michael Zapara.
In addition, as of February 1, 1999, the Company entered into a
Placement Agreement with Alexis Capital, Inc., ("Alexis") under which Alexis was
to serve as a placer and consultant in connection with the merger or sale of
Motioncast. To the best of the Company's current knowledge, Alexis was one
hundred percent owned by Michael Zapara. The compensation to be paid was 10% of
the amount of the transaction, 5% in cash and 5% in stock. Pursuant to the
mutual agreement of Alexis and the Company, such compensation was not paid.
Effective upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, Alexis and the
Company agreed to terminate the Placement Agreement in exchange for the issuance
of 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Alexis.
On November 1, 1998, the Company also entered into a Securities Transfer
Agent & Registrar Agreement with Alexis Stock Transfer, under which Alexis Stock
Transfer served as the transfer agent and registrar for the Company. To the best
of the Company's current knowledge, Alexis Stock Transfer is one hundred percent
owned by Gina Zapara, the wife of Michael Zapara. Alexis Stock Transfer is
currently being compensated pursuant to its current fee schedule. The basic fees
are as follows:
Setup Fee: $500
Monthly Maintenance Fee: $100
Cancel and Issue Certificate: $25 per certificate
Issuance of Rule 144/Restricted Certificate: $50 per certificate
Record Storage Fee: $50 per month
Following the share exchange, the Securities Transfer
22
<PAGE>
Agent & Registrar Agreement remained in effect subject to an amendment which
bound the transfer agent to maintain the fee structure in effect as of the date
of the share exchange through December 31, 2000. The Company pays the customary
and usual fees to the transfer agent associated with its services.
Since September 1, 1998, the Company (and its predecessor) has been
leasing 1,255 square feet of office space in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana from
B.B. Kirkbride. The principal owner of B.B. Kirkbride, J. Marshall Gage, is also
a director and vice president of BrowseSafe. The Company obtained the space at
$10 per square foot. The lease was for one year, with renewal and expansion
options.
In addition in 1999, Mark Smith and Greg Urbanski, who are executive
officers and directors of the Company, have made personal loans to the Company
of approximately $60,000 and $50,000, respectively, to fund operating expenses.
These loans are non-interest bearing and are not evidenced by promissory notes.
It is the intention of the Company to repay these loans when the Company has the
financial resources to do so.
ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 25,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.001 per share. As of November 16, 1999, there are
16,538,000 shares outstanding, of which 14,538,000 are restricted. The Company
has also issued stock options to its executive officers and directors to
purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares, which options have not vested as of
November 16, 1999.
Pursuant to an Investment Banking Consulting Agreement with Business
Investor Services, Inc. dated as of November 18, 1999, the Company is obligated
to issue a retainer fee of 100,000 common shares and warrants with an exercise
price of $1.00 per share to purchase an additional 50,000 shares as compensation
for strategic business and financial planning. All warrants must be exercised on
the date the Company's shares trade above $2.00 per share for any 30-day period
but in no event later than three years after the effective date of the

business and financial plans;
(b) participate in due diligence on all proposed financial transactions;
(c) assist in the preparation and coordination of the filing of
appropriate documents necessary to be in compliance with federal and
state law; and
(d) other miscellaneous matters.
Each holder of common stock outstanding is entitled to one vote per
share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including the
election of directors. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights. In the
event of dissolution or liquidation or winding up the Company's business,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the common stock are entitled
to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities.
Each share of common stock has an equal right to receive dividends when
and if the board of directors decides to declare a dividend. The Company has
never paid cash dividends and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. The holders of the common stock are not entitled to
preemptive rights.
There are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions
with respect to the common stock. All of the outstanding shares of common stock
are fully paid and non-assessable.

PART II.
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The Company's common stock has been publicly traded in the
over-the-counter market and quoted on the NASDAQ electronic OTC Bulletin Board
since August, 1999 under the trading symbol "PGPG". Prior to that, the Company's
stock has traded since October, 1998 in the over-the-counter market and quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol MCTV. The OTC Bulletin Board is an
electronic quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices
and volume information in certain domestic and foreign issuers whose securities
are traded in the over-the-counter market.
No dividends on the Company's common stock have been declared or paid
since the Company's inception. The Company intends to retain earnings to finance
the growth and development of its business and does not anticipate paying cash
dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. As of September 30,
1999 there were approximately 37 holders of record of the Company's common
stock.
The following states the range of high and low bid prices for each
quarter from the time the shares of the Company was quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board on October 26, 1998:
No information is available to trading prices prior to that time.
Calendar Quarter Ending High Low
- ----------------------- ---- ---
December 31, 1998 $ 34.375 $14.063 (1)
March 31, 1999 $ 34.375 $0.0625 (1)(2)
June 30, 1999 $5.6250 $2.7500 (3)
September 30, 1999 $2.2500 $0.9375
(1) On March 10, 1999, the Company effected a 25 to 1 reverse split
decreasing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock to 400,000.
The trading prices have been adjusted to give a retroactive effect of
the reverse split.
(2) On March 27, 1999, the Company issued an additional 500,000 shares of
common stock at $0.10 per share pursuant to a Rule 504 offering.
(3) On April 5, 1999, the Company issued an additional 1,000,000 shares at
$0.10 per share pursuant to a second Rule 504 offering.

<PAGE>
The High/Low bid prices for each quarter of the last fiscal year were obtained
from NASDAQ Trading and Market Services. The quotations reflect inter-dealer
prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent
actual transactions.
Pursuant to NASD Eligibility Rule 6530 (the "Rule") issued on January 4,
1999, issuers who do not make current filings pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") are ineligible for
listing on the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"). Pursuant to the
Rule, issuers who are not current with such filings are subject to having the
quotation of their securities removed from the OTCBB pursuant to a phase in
schedule depending on each issuer's trading symbol as reported on January 4,
1999 and thereafter may quote its common stock on the National Quotation Bureau
"Pink Sheets." The Company is subject to having the quotation of its securities
removed from the OTCBB on January 20, 2000, until the Company becomes compliant
with the Rule. One month prior to having the quotation of their securities
removed from the OTCBB, non complying issuers will have their trading symbol
appended with an "E".
As of November, 1999, the Company has not complied with the Rule, and in
the past, has not made filings pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act. The Company has filed this registration statement on Form 10SB to become a
reporting Company and therefore comply with the Rule. However, the Company will
remain subject to having quotation of its securities removed from the OTCBB on
January 20, 2000 and trading of its securities thereafter on the Pink Sheets,
until such time as the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has
reviewed the Company's Form 10SB and has stated that it has no further comments.
Should the Commission fail to clear all comments prior to January 20, 2000,
quotation of the Company's securities will be removed from the OTCBB and
thereafter traded on the Pink Sheets until such time as the Registration
Statement is cleared by the Commission. Once the Company has complied with the
Rule, it will once again become eligible for quotation on the OTCBB and will
seek to be reinstated on the OTCBB or other appropriate exchange.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of the date of this filing, there are no material legal proceedings pending.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS.
In September, 1998, the Company, which was then known as Medical
Accounting & Computers, engaged Barry L. Friedman, P.C., 1582 Tulita Drive, Las
Vegas, Nevada 89123, to audit the balance sheets of the Company as of August 31,
1998, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period January 1, 1998
to August 31, 1998, and the two years ending December 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996. The Company's stock began trading in October, 1998, and is quoted on the
OTC Bulletin Board. The Company at that time had no operations, had assets
consisting of cash and only minimal liabilities and was considered a development
stage company. The engagement of Barry L. Friedman was limited to the
preparation of the financial statements described in the this paragraph. Through
the mutual agreement of Mr. Friedman and the Company as approved by the board of
directors, Mr. Friedman did not stand for re-election as the company's
accountant. The Company did not have an active relationship with any accountants
between the end of Mr. Friedman's engagement and the selection of Katz Sapper &
Miller, LLP, the new accountants following the share exchange.
25
<PAGE>
Barry L. Friedman's report on the financial statements did provide for a
going concern opinion since the Company did not at that time have a current
source of revenue and was seeking additional capital through a merger with an
existing operating company. It did not otherwise contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles. There were no disagreements with Barry L. Friedman on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure.
In June, 1999, the Company which was then known as Motioncast Television
Corporation of America engaged in a share exchange with BrowseSafe.com, Inc. As
a result of the share exchange, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Motioncast. Motioncast changed its name to BrowseSafe.com, Inc.
and BrowseSafe.com, Inc. changed its name to BrowseSafe Technology, Inc.
In connection with the share exchange, the Company elected a new board
of Directors. The newly-elected board of directors determined that the Company
required accountants with experience in preparing financial statements and other
disclosure documents required of reporting companies under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and wished to establish a relationship with such firm with
offices in Indianapolis, Indiana. On August 12, 1999, the Company engaged Katz
Sapper & Miller, LLP, 11711 North Meridian Street, Suite 8800, Indianapolis,
Indiana 46240-0857, to audit the Company's predecessor, BrowseSafe, LLC's
financial statements for fiscal year ending December 31, 1998, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Katz Sapper & Miller's report on the financial statements did
provide for a going concern opinion since the Company is still a development
stage company, has yet to generate any material revenues and is seeking
additional capital through an investment capital Company and other sources. It
did not otherwise contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was
it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. There were
no disagreements with Katz Sapper & Miller on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure.
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
During the last three years, the Company has sold the following
securities without registering them under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"):
On March 10, 1999, the Company (then known as Motioncast Television
Corporation of America) issued 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock
(after a 25 to 1 reverse stock split) to Michael Zapara, the Company's then
president and director, in a transaction which was exempt from registration
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in exchange for a release of all claims
for salary due the previous two years. The issued shares were restricted and the
total valuation was recorded by the Company at $5,000. The Company valued the
shares at $.05 per share instead of the offering price of $.10 per share due to
the fact that the shares issued to Michael Zapara were restricted and the shares
issued in the offering were unrestricted.
In March, 1999 Motioncast conducted an offering of 500,000 shares of
common stock at $0.10 per share under Rule 504 of Regulation D raising $50,000.
In April, 1999, the Company conducted a second Rule 504 offering of 1,000,000
shares at $0.10 per share, raising $100,000.
26
<PAGE>
Effective as of June 24, 1999, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. and its
shareholders, BrowseSafe, LLC, Torquay Holdings, Ltd., Vista Financial Corp., El
Coyote Capital Corp., Jupiter Financial Services, Inc., Kyline Investment Corp.,
Chariot Group, Ltd., Sid-Barney, Inc., Sterling Overseas Investments SA, Albury
Capital Corp., Eivissa Capital Corp., Hemisphere & Associates, Ltd., Barisal
Capital Corporation and Fergus Capital Corporation (these entities, excluding
BrowseSafe, LLC are referred to as the "Funding Group") entered into a Share
Exchange Agreement with Motioncast in a transaction which was exempt from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Prior to the share exchange, the Company (which was still known as
Motioncast) had 2,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding (100,000 of which
were restricted). Following the share exchange, the total issued and outstanding
shares of common stock was increased by an additional 13,938,000 shares, all of
which are restricted. BrowseSafe, LLC became the majority shareholder of the
Company (whose name was changed to BrowseSafe.com, Inc.) with 11,200,000 shares.
A total of 2,738,000 shares were issued to the Funding Group. The Share Exchange
Agreement provided that the Company was obligated to issue an additional 36,838
shares of common stock to the Funding Group in exchange for the receipt of
$82,620 in cash and the cancellation of $50,000 in promissory notes for funding
previously provided by the Funding Group. Also, the Company was obligated to
issue 83,162 shares upon receipt of an additional $300,000 from the Funding
Group ($600,000 of total funding).
The 120,000 (36,838 + 83,162) shares have not been issued. The Funding
Group contributed only approximately $100,000 instead of the required $300,000.
In addition, the Funding Group was obligated to cause BrowseSafe.com, Inc. to
receive at least $1,500,000 of proceeds from the sale of common stock no later
than November 30, 1999. The Funding Group also failed to complete this
obligation.
Due to the failure of the Funding Group to provide the full amount of
the funding required under the agreements, BrowseSafe has not issued the 120,000
shares to the Funding Group. BrowseSafe has advised all members of the Funding
Group in writing that they are in breach of the Exchange Agreement and the Asset
& Liability Contribution Agreement and has provided them an opportunity to
remedy the breach. BrowseSafe has not received any written response from the
members of the Funding Group. At the present time, BrowseSafe has not determined
what, if any, action it will take against the members of the Funding Group as a
result of their breach of the agreements.
In addition, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Employment
Agreement with Michael Zapara, the former president and director of Motioncast,
and Placement Agreement with an affiliate of Mr. Zapara were terminated in
exchange for the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock which shares are
restricted securities.
27
<PAGE>
On September 19, 1998, BrowseSafe, LLC, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. and
Winthrop Associates executed a Management Consulting Agreement. The Consulting
Agreement provided that Winthrop Associates would provide the following
services:
a) assist in locating funding sources;
b) assist in strategic planning;
c) assist as a liaison with the financial community; and
d) assist by arranging access to a database of brokers, analysts,
etc.
The term of the Agreement was a period of one (1) year. As compensation,
Winthrop Associates was to receive:
a) $2500 per month;
b) reimbursement of expenses;
c) finder's fee equal to 2.5% of the gross dollar funding; and
d) 431,250 shares of BrowseSafe.com, Inc. common stock.
Certain disputes arose between the parties to this agreement regarding whether
BrowseSafe.com obtained any funding from sources introduced by Winthrop
Associates. These disputes were resolved in a Mutual Release and Settlement
Agreement dated October 11, 1999. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement
Agreement, BrowseSafe.com, Inc. agreed to pay the owner of Winthrop Associates
the sum of $200,000 within 120 days of the execution of the Settlement
Agreement. In order to secure the payment of this amount, BrowseSafe.com, Inc.
issued 500,000 shares of its common stock which was placed into escrow. If the
sum of $200,000 is not paid to the owner of Winthrop Associates within 120 days
of the execution of the Settlement Agreement, the escrow agent will distribute
the 500,000 shares to the owner of Winthrop Associates. The delivery of the
500,000 shares would be in lieu of payment of the $200,000. The shares, if
delivered, will be restricted securities subject to certain piggy-back
registration rights granted in connection with the Settlement Agreement.
The Company has also agreed to issue to vendors approximately 11,000
restricted shares of common stock in settlement of approximately $33,000 owed to
three vendors. To date, the shares have not been issued. The Company entered
into these agreements in order to conserve case reserves and at the request of
the vendors. The Company has recorded an expense of $33,000 representing the
value of the services provided by the vendors.
On November 18, 1999, BrowseSafe entered into an Investment Banking
Consulting Agreement with Business Investor Services, Inc. For its services,
Business Investors Services, Inc. will receive a retainer fee of 100,000 common
shares, warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share to purchase an
additional 50,000 shares, a due diligence fee of $15,000 as well as other
remuneration. When the Company becomes a reporting Company under Sections 13 and
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, it is required to file with the
SEC a Form S-8 to register the shares (including those issued under the warrant)
pursuant to applicable provisions of the Securities Act available for securities
offered to employees, consultants and advisors.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company's bylaws provide that it shall indemnify its officers and
directors, and its former officers and directors, against all expenses
(including attorney's fees), claims, judgments, liabilities, and amounts paid in
settlement arising out of his or her services on behalf of the Company subject
to the qualifications contained in Nevada law as it now exists, except that no
such persons shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense
incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his or her own
negligence or willful misconduct. Nevada law provides the Company cannot
indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents when it asserts a direct
claim against them and a court of competent jurisdiction finds that they are
liable to the Company except as allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Nevada law generally provides that a corporation shall have such power
to indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents to the extent they acted
in good faith in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
Nevada law also generally provides in the event an
28
<PAGE>
officer, director, employee or agent shall be judged liable, enter into a
settlement, or any other resolution of the claim, except when a claim is brought
by the Company, such indemnification shall apply if approved by the court in
which the action was brought, or by a majority vote of the board of directors
(excluding any directors who were party to such action), or by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or by a majority vote of stockholders. Nevada law
also generally provides that in the event an officer, director, employee or
agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, the Company shall indemnify him or her against expenses including
attorneys' fees.
As of November, 1999 the Company does not have, but reserves the right
to purchase and maintain, directors and officers insurance insuring its
directors and officers against any liability arising out of their status as
such, regardless of whether the Company has the power to indemnify such persons
against such liability under applicable law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Nevada Revised Statute Section 78.037 states that a Nevada corporation's
articles of incorporation may include provisions to the effect that directors of
the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud
or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) for the payment of distributions under
Nevada Revised Statute Section 78.300. The Company's articles of incorporation
include provisions of the type permitted by Nevada Revised Statute Section
78.037.

Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Directors and Members
BrowseSafe LLC (A Development Stage Company)
(Predecessor to BrowseSafe.com, Inc.)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of BrowseSafe LLC (a development
stage company) as of December 31, 1998, and the related statements of
operations, members' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from
February 10, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our 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.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of BrowseSafe LLC at December 31,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from
February 10, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 1998 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the
financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has incurred
losses and has negative working capital that raises substantial doubt about the
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these
matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General: BrowseSafe LLC (the Company) was formed on February 10, 1998 for
the purposes of developing and distributing computer software that will
allow families to use the Internet safely while giving parents the freedom
to choose what their children can and cannot access.
Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the
estimates that were used.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market as determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Office and Computer Equipment are recorded at cost and are being depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the assets using accelerated methods.
Long-lived assets, including the Company's property and equipment, are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by the related asset. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the
assets. To date, no adjustments to the carrying amount of long-lived assets
have been required.
Cash: The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never
experienced any losses in such accounts.
Marketing and Advertising Costs are expensed as incurred and totaled
$224,721 in 1998.
Income Taxes: No provision for income taxes is required because the
allocated shares of the Company's income or loss for the period are included
in the income tax returns of the members.
Start-Up Costs are expensed as incurred.
Product Development Costs incurred by the Company to develop and enhance its
software are expensed until the product reaches technological feasibility.
Costs are then capitalized until the product is ready for the general
public. No product development costs were capitalized in 1998. See Note 5 to
the financial statements.
Member Classes: The Company has two classes of members. Voting members are
allocated income and losses based on ownership percentage. Nonvoting members
are allocated income and loss at the rate of 1% for each $20,000 invested
until three years following the year in which the members' initial capital
contribution of $155,000 is cumulatively repaid. In the event the Company is
sold in its entirety, allocation of the sales gain to the nonvoting members
is limited to five times their initial capital contribution.
35
<PAGE>
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Web Design Costs incurred by the Company have been capitalized from the time
a website plan was initiated to the point where the website was operational.
A total of $100,860 was capitalized in 1998. Capitalized web design costs
are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 24 months. The
Company began amortizing these costs in 1999. Costs of maintaining and
operating the website are expensed as incurred.
NOTE 2 - DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has a secured line of credit for short-term bank borrowings of
up to $200,000. Interest is payable monthly at the Bank's prime lending
rate. The line of credit is subject to renewal in November 1999 and is
guaranteed by the members. At December 31, 1998, $95,000 of the line of
credit was unused.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has a demand note payable which bears interest at 12% to a
company controlled by one of its members.
The Company also leases office space from the above-mentioned related
entity. Rent expense paid to the entity was $11,030 in 1998.
The Company also receives certain general and administrative services from
the related entity. Total charges for these services were $50,000 for 1998.
At December 31, 1998, the Company owed this entity $70,095 (for these

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit and therefore do not include all
information and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These unaudited financial statements
contain, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
accruals and other recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows for the periods presented. The operating results for the period ended
September 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
to be expected for the full fiscal year.
General: BrowseSafe LLC (the Company) was formed on February 10, 1998 for
the purposes of developing and distributing computer software that will
allow families to use the Internet safely while giving parents the freedom
to choose what their children can and cannot access.
Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities

estimates that were used.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market as determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Office and Computer Equipment are recorded at cost and are being depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the assets using accelerated methods.
Long-lived assets, including the Company's property and equipment, are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by the related asset. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the
assets. To date, no adjustments to the carrying amount of long-lived assets
have been required.
Cash: The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never
experienced any losses in such accounts.

5.2 Warranties and Disclaimers by Exodus.
5.2(a) Service Level Warranty. In the event Customer experiences any of
the following and Exodus determines in its reasonable judgment that such
inability was caused by Exodus' failure to provide Internet Data Center Services
for reasons within Exodus' reasonable control and not as a result of any actions
or inactions of Customer or any third parties (including Customer Equipment and
third party equipment), Exodus will, upon Customer's request in accordance with
paragraph (iii) below, credit Customer's account as described below:
(i) Inability to Access the Internet (Downtime). If Customer is unable
to transmit and receive information from Exodus' Internet Data Centers (i.e.,
Exodus' LAN and WAN) to other portions of the Internet because Exodus failed to
provide the Internet Data Center Services for more than fifteen (15) consecutive
minutes, Exodus will credit Customer's account the pro-rata connectivity charges
(i.e., all bandwidth related charges) for one (1) day of service, up to an
aggregate maximum credit of connectivity charges for seven (7) days of service
in any one calendar (1) month. Exodus' scheduled maintenance of the Internet
Data Centers and Internet Data Center Services, as described in the Rules and
Regulations, shall not be deemed to be a failure of Exodus to provide Internet
Data Center Services. For purposes of the foregoing, "unable to transmit and
receive" shall mean sustained packet loss in excess of 50% based on Exodus'
measurements.
(ii) Packet Loss and Latency. Exodus does not proactively monitor the
packet loss or transmission latency of specific customers. Exodus does, however,
proactively monitor the aggregate packet loss and transmission latency within
its LAN and WAN. In the event that Exodus discovers (either from its own efforts
or after being notified by Customer) that Customer is experiencing packet loss
in excess of one percent (1%) ("Excess Packet Loss") or transmission latency in
excess of 120 milliseconds round trip time (based on Exodus' measurements)
between any two Internet Data Centers within Exodus' U.S. network (collectively,
"Excess Latency", and with Excess Packet Loss "Excess Packet Loss/Latency"), and
Customer notifies Exodus (or confirms that Exodus has notified Customer), Exodus
will take all actions necessary to determine the source of the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency.
(A) Time to Discover Source of Excess Packet Loss/Latency;
Notification of Customer. Within two (2) hours of discovering the existence of
Excess Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine whether the source of the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency is limited to the Customer Equipment and the Exodus
equipment connecting the Customer Equipment to Exodus' LAN ("Customer Specific
Packet Loss/Latency"). If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is not a Customer
Specific Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine the source of the Excess
Packet Loss/Latency within two (2) hours after determining that it is not a
Customer Specific Packet Loss/Latency. In any event, Exodus will notify Customer
of the source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within sixty (60) minutes after
identifying the source.
(B) Remedy of Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency remedy is within the sole control of Exodus, Exodus will remedy the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency within two (2) hours of determining the source of the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is caused from
outside of the Exodus LAN or WAN, Exodus will notify Customer and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to notify the party(ies) responsible for the
source and cooperate with it(them) to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
(C) Failure to Determine Source and/or Resolve Problem. In the
event that Exodus is unable to determine the source of and remedy the Excess
Packet Loss/Latency within the time periods described above (where Exodus was
solely in control of the source), Exodus will credit Customer's account the
pro-rata connectivity charges for one (1) day of service for every two (2) hours
after the time periods described above that it takes Exodus to resolve the
problem, up to an aggregate maximum credit of connectivity charges for seven (7)
days of service in any one (1) month.
(iii) Customer Must Request Credit: To receive any of the credits described
in this section 5.2(a), Customer must notify Exodus within three (3) business
days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a credit. Failure to
comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer's right to receive a credit.
(iv) Remedies Shall Not Be Cumulative; Maximum Credit: In the event that
Customer is entitled to multiple credits hereunder arising from the same event,
such credits shall not be cumulative and Customer shall be entitled to receive
only the maximum single credit available for such event. In no event will Exodus
be required to credit Customer in any one (1) calendar month connectivity
charges in excess of seven (7) days of service. A credit shall be applied only
to the month in which there was the incident that resulted in the credit.
Customer shall not be eligible to receive any credits for periods in which
Customer received any Internet Data Center Services free of charge.
(v) Termination Option for Chronic Problems: If, in any single calendar
month, Customer would be able to receive credits totaling fifteen (15) or more
days (but for the limitation in paragraph (iv) above) resulting from three (3)
or more events during such calendar month or, if any single event entitling
customer to credits under paragraph 5.2(a)(i) exists for a period of eight (8)
consecutive hours, then, Customer may terminate this Agreement for cause and
without penalty by notifying Exodus within five (5) days following the end of
such calendar month. Such termination will be effective thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice by Exodus.
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES THAT EXPRESSLY
EXCLUDE THIS WARRANTY (AS DESCRIBED IN THE SPECIFICATION SHEETS FOR SUCH
PRODUCTS). THIS SECTION 5.2(a) STATES CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR
ANY FAILURE BY EXODUS TO PROVIDE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES.
(b) No Other Warranty. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET OUT IN SUBSECTION
(a) ABOVE, THE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
AND CUSTOMER'S USE OF THE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES IS AT ITS OWN RISK.
EXODUS DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND/OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND TITLE,

53 Percent of Parents Receptive to Subscription-Based
Safe Online Environments, Jupiter Survey Finds
New York. NY, June 23, 1998.--More than half of parents with online-savvy kids
would be open to paying for subscription services that monitor content and chat
for kids (and more than a quarter indicate a strong willingness to pay) Jupiter
analysts said today at Jupiter's Digital Kids `98 conference in San Francisco.
Sixty-eight percent of parents are very concerned about their children's use of
the Internet and try to limit their activities online, according to a recent
Jupiter Communications consumer survey (performed by NFO Interactive). Parents
view chat, e-mail from strangers, adult entertainment, and privacy as the
biggest threats to their children's safety. Advertising weighed in as a low
concern, with only 17 percent of parents viewing online ads as a drawback on Web
sites, the survey found.
For kids (children under 13) and teenagers (youths from 13 to 18), 66 percent of
parents polled said they restrict their children from giving out personal
information over the Internet; nearly 62 percent restrict shopping, and almost
54 percent try to prohibit access to adult entertainment online.
"This is important news for Web sites aimed at kids," said Regina Joseph, senior
analyst for Consumer Content Strategies at Jupiter Communications. "Businesses
should aggressively focus on advertising and subscription revenue models for
kid-oriented Web sites, while posting prominent privacy statements, eradicating
direct marketing through e-mail, and scaling back on requests for personal
information."
The Digital Kids `98 conference also discussed the relationship between kids'
use of the Internet and TV in terms of cross-promotional marketing, interaction,
and usage patterns. The Jupiter survey found that a significant minority (one
third of kids and more than 40 percent of teens) report fewer hours spent
watching TV as a result of the Internet. Respondents ranked e-mail (54 percent),
general surfing (37 percent), homework (37 percent), games (30 percent), and
chat (29 percent) as the most common online activities.
"Kids still spend more time per week watching TV than they spend online, but we
believe that this slow erosion of TV time into Web time could parlay into a
substantial opportunity for broadcasters," said Joseph. "The cross-promotional
and brand loyalty implications of moving an audience from the realm of TV to the
Internet is the stuff marketers dream of. Broadcasters need to be vigilant in
exploiting their young audiences through creative bundling of online content and
TV entertaInment without offending the sensibilities of the parents. All Web
sites aimed at kids should walk this line carefully to ensure that the core of
their business can attract kids while at the same time assuaging parents'
fears."
