ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION, INC.
(Formerly RFID Systems Corp.)
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements, page 1
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
Period ended September 30, 2000
1. General:
On April 23, 1999, Electronic Identification, Inc. (the "Company"
or "El2") signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with RFID
Systems Corp. ("RFID"). This merger was completed on May 3,
1999.
EI2 is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Nevada. At that date, El2 was an inactive shell
company. RFID was a development stage enterprise and was
developing automatic identification and data collection systems
utilizing radio frequency identification technology. EI2 is
continuing in this line of business.
EI2 had 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Under the
terms and conditions of the Agreement, each issued and
outstanding share of common stock of RFID was converted into one
common stock of the Company.
This transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of
RFID, effectively as if RFID had issued common shares to acquire
the net monetary assets of EI2. The net monetary assets acquired
by EI2 were as follows:
Total assets $ 176,108
Total liabilities $ 1,800,613
Under recapitalization accounting, these financial statements
reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of RFID
from its inception on May 14, 1992 combined with those of EI2
from the date the merger was completed.
Pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to regulatory approval,
each stockholder of RFID who sent in their stock certificates for
transfer into certificates representing shares of the Company
prior to May 31, 1999, will receive a right to purchase, for
every ten shares owned and tendered, an additional share of
common stock at 75% of the market price of the Company stock as
of the date of exercise. The rights will be exercisable for
thirty days after filing of the registration statement with the
Securities Exchange Commission. Rights outstanding at September
30, 2000 are 1,205,083.
2. Future operations:
These financial statements have been prepared on the going
concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to
realize on its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary
course of business. During the period since inception on May 14,
1992, the Company has incurred losses aggregating $12,291,510.
At September 30, 2000, the Company has a working capital
deficiency of $618,683 and a stockholders' equity balance of
$14,952.
The Company's ability to meet its obligations as they come due is
primarily dependent upon securing additional financing, whether
from operations or otherwise. Management continues to pursue
additional sources of financing; however, there can be no
guarantee that the required additional financing will be
obtained. Failure to identify and obtain such

(Formerly RFID Systems Corp.)
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements, page 2
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
Period ended September 30, 2000
2. Future operations (continued):
financing may limit the Company's ability to satisfy its
obligations as they come due which may, in turn, impair the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. This could
negatively impact the recoverability of the carrying value of
assets.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability of assets and amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern, assets and liabilities
would require restatement on a liquidation basis, which would
differ materially from the going concern basis
3. Significant accounting policies:
(a) Basis of presentation:
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The Company has not produced significant revenues and is a
Development Stage Company as defined by Financial Accounting
Standard No. ("FAS") 7.
(b) Foreign currency translation:
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United
States dollar. Transactions Undertaken in a currency other than
the United States dollar are remeasured into United States
dollars using exchange rates at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are remeasured at each balance sheet date at the exchange rate
prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising
on remeasurement or settlement of foreign currency denominated
transactions or balances are included in the determination of
income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken
in Canadian dollars. The Company does not enter into derivative
instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations.
(c) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting Principles requires management to
make estimates which affect the reported amounts of Assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the balance Sheet dates, and the recognition of
revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Areas where
significant estimates have been applied include the assessment of
the ultimate liability arising out of legal contingencies and the
recoverability of capital and intangible assets. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
(d) Fixed assets:
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated annually as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Assets Basis Rate
Furniture and equipment Straight-line 20%
Computers and technology
equipment Declining-balance 30%

Notes to Financial Statements, page 3
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
Period ended September 30, 2000
3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(d) Fixed assets (continued):
The Company reviews and assesses the underlying value of fixed
assets as the situation dictates to determine whether a provision
for impairment should be recorded. Such determination is made by
comparing the carrying value of fixed assets to the future cash
flow (undiscounted) expected to result. When these cash flows
are less than the carrying value, impairment is calculated by
reference to the fair value of the specific assets.
(e) Patents:
Patents are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-
line method over a period of five years.
(f) Common stock issuances:
During fiscal 1999, common stock of the Company was issued in
settlement of the indebtedness. A loss of $1,258,323 (1998 -
$663,068) occurred on this settlement equal to the difference
between the market value of common stock issued and the carrying
value of the debt. Stock issue costs are accounted for as a
reduction in the proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
(g) Research and development costs:
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
(h) Stock-based compensation:
The Company has elected to apply the intrinsic value principles
of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock options on options
granted to employees and directors. Under APB 25, compensation
expense is only recorded to the extent that the exercise price is
less than the market value of the underlying stock on the date of
grant. For stock options granted to non-employees, the fair
value of the options at their date of grant will be recognized.
Values assigned to options will be charged against income over
their vesting period. Fair value information with respect to
options granted to employees and directors is disclosed in
accordance with FAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation".
(i) Comprehensive loss:
The Company has adopted FAS 130, "Comprehensive Income", which
requires disclosure of comprehensive income or loss. The
Company's net loss is equal to comprehensive loss for all
periods.
(j) Income taxes:
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and
tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled.

Period ended September 30, 2000
3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(j) Income taxes (continued):
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. To the extent that the realization of deferred
tax assets is not considered to be more likely than not, a
valuation allowance is provided.
(k) Loss per common share:
Loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, which excludes subscribed
but unissued shares. The number of shares used for loss per
share purposes gives retroactive effect to the reverse stock
split on May 4, 1998.

(a) Due to stockholders, directors and officers:
Amounts due to stockholders, directors and officers represent
amounts owed to the stockholders, directors and officers or
companies controlled by the stockholders, directors or
officers. These amounts generally arose from invoices or
expenses paid on behalf of the Company by the stockholders,
directors and officers, and a loan provided by a stockholder.
The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no
specific terms of repayment.
(b) Transactions with directors and officers:
During this period, the Company was charged a total of $nil
for management and consulting services by the directors and
officers of the Company.

7. Girne Acquisition Corp.:
On March 1, 2000, the Company acquired, through a
reorganization agreement, Girne Acquisition Corp. ("Girne"), a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. At that date, Girne was an inactive shell company.
Under the terms and conditions of the reorganization agreement,
each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Girne was
exchanged pro rata for an aggregate of 1,000 shares of voting
common stock of the Company at $0.001 par value per share. The
Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock for the acquisition
of Girne, consisting of 150,000 common shares at a deemed value
of $2.9375 per share and converting $150,000 of cash payable to
the shareholders of Girne at a deemed value of $1.00 per share
into 150,000 shares of common stock. For accounting purposes,
this transaction will be accounted for as a re-capitalization, as
if the Company had issued common shares for the net monetary
assets of Girne.
Pursuant to the reorganization agreement, the Company is the
surviving corporation and will continue under its present name as
a corporation in the State of Nevada.
8. Common stock:
(a) Reverse stock split:
On May 4, 1998, the Company resolved to consolidate the
number of preferred and common stock outstanding by a ratio of
4.5 old for one new common stock. The effect of this reverse
stock split has been applied retroactively to these financial
statements.
(b) Stock purchase warrants:

9. Contingencies:
The Company has determined that it is not possible, at this time,
to predict the final outcome of the following legal
contingencies. The Company has accrued its best estimate of
potential damages that may be awarded pursuant to these legal
contingencies. Any adjustment to that amount will be recorded in
the period determinable.
Chemoco NV ("Chemoco"):
During 1997, the Company contracted with Chemoco to provide
services to the Company. As advance consideration of the
services to be provided by Chemoco, individuals related to the
Company transferred 155,556 common stock of the Company to
Chemoco. It is the Company's belief that Chemoco did not fulfill
its obligations for the services to be provided and as a result,
the transfer of common stock from individuals related to the
Company to Chemoco was canceled. On September 15, 1999, Chemoco
commenced an action against the Company and a former officer of
the Company claiming for the delivery of 700,000 shares of the
Company, or in the alternative, damages for the Company not
delivering the said shares to the Plaintiff. Since the
commencement of the action and the filing of the
Statement of Defense in November 1999, the solicitors for the
Plaintiff have filed a Notice of Intention to withdraw as
solicitors in this matter. The outcome of this claim is unknown.
It is management's belief that any claim that may arise from this
situation is without merit.
(b) Former director claim:
On June 29, 1999, a former director of the Company commenced an
action against the Company claiming, inter alia, for a
declaration that he was entitled to 100,000 warrants of the
Company exercisable at $0.375 per share and a further declaration
that he was entitled to 600,000 warrants exercisable at $0.25 per
share. The warrant agreement was originally issued to the
Director to protect him against any potential claims. When the
director left the Company, the Board of Directors canceled the
warrant agreement for this director and all other directors. The
claim also includes damages for breach of contract and interest
with costs. The Company has filed a defense denying any claims
of the former director in and to the warrants alleged. To date,
no further activity has been commenced and the outcome is
unknown.
(c) Other cancelled agreements:
In 1996, the Company cancelled agreements with two third parties.
To date, no litigation has been commenced or threatened regarding
these cancelled agreements. It is the opinion of management that
the termination of these agreements was warranted and, in the
event of litigation, would be deemed to be warranted. Further,
it is management's belief that any claim that may arise from
these situations are without merit.

10. Income taxes:
The Company has non-capital losses carried forward of
approximately $8,500,000 which may be deducted in the
calculation of taxable income of future periods until their
expiry to December 31, 2006.
11. Fair value of financial instruments:
At June 30, 2000, the Company's financial instruments include
cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, and due to stockholders, directors and officers.
Due to their short-term to maturity or ability for prompt
liquidation, the carrying values of cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their
fair value. The fair value of due to stockholders, directors
and officers cannot be determined due to their related party
nature (note 6(a)). Due to the nature of the relationship
between the Company and the related parties and the lack of a
ready market for such indebtedness, it is not possible to
estimate the current fair value of this indebtedness.
The Company has not entered into off-balance sheet derivative
instruments.
12. Year 2000 Issue:
The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems
use two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date-
sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some
other date, resulting in errors when information using year
2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar problems may
arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to
represent something other than a date. Although the change in
date has occurred, it is not possible to conclude that all
aspects of the Year 2000 Issue that may affect the entity,
including those related to customers, suppliers, or other
third parties, have been fully resolved.
13. Subsequent events:
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, there are no
subsequent events to report.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
NOTE REGARDING PROJECTIONS AND FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This statement includes projections of future results and
"forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements that are included in
this Registration Statement, other than statements of historical
fact, are forward-looking statements. Although Management
believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
expectations are disclosed in this Statement, including, without
limitation, those expectations reflected in forward-looking
statements contained in this Statement.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company was incorporated in Nevada and is a leading developer
and marketer of contactless smart ID card systems ("Smart
Card(s)" or "Smart ID Card System(s)"). Generally the size of a
credit card, Smart Cards add the ability and intelligence to
store and process information with a computer chip embedded
inside the card. Smart Cards are used in a number of corporate
and government applications including (i) access to restricted
areas (replacing keys and paper identification cards), (ii)
public transportation fare collection (replacing bus tokens, taxi
cab charge cards, airline or railway tickets), (iii) point of
sale purchases. Smart Card technology is also used in industrial
applications such as attaching a "Smart Tag" containing the Smart
Card technology to a manufactured product in order to track the
product from the assembly line through quality control,
warehousing, inventory control, distribution and warranty.
The Company's Smart Cards are both "contactless" and
"batteryless" and therefore do not require the use of a magnetic
stripe or insertion into a terminal as is required by contacted
cards ("Contacted Card(s)"), such as credit cards and ATM cards.
Contacted Cards in use today are typically limited to storing
information as opposed to "intelligent" Smart Cards, which have
processing capabilities similar to that of a personal computer.
The Company's Smart Card System involves direct wireless radio
frequency communications and magnetic induction between a chip in
the Smart Card and a terminal. Moreover, the Company's
contactless Smart Card Systems do not require insertion in a
terminal or the use of a keypad and therefore may be used by all
members of the population regardless of age or physical ability
and in both indoor and outdoor locations.
For consumers and providers of goods and services, the Company's
Smart Cards offer the convenience and accuracy of high speed
transaction processing without the requirement of carrying cash,
checks or credit cards, thereby reducing the threat of theft,
inventory shrinkage, and payment fraud resulting from the
handling of cash or the counterfeiting of cash or credit cards.
Goods and services providers do not risk loss from (i) accepting
cash or checks which may be subsequently stolen from them after
payment by consumers or (ii) accepting credit cards which may
have been stolen prior to such payment. Consumer loss is limited
because the Smart Card is programmed to be used to purchase only
specific goods or services. Thus, the Smart Card is not as
attractive to a thief when compared to stolen cash, checks or
credit cards.
The Smart Card is designed to complement credit cards rather than
replace them in that Smart Card applications involve the storage
and handling of substantially more data than credit cards and can
therefore be used for other applications (rather than just
purchase and sale transactions) such as identification of the
user, loyalty programs and other portable data functions.
The Company sells its Smart Card Systems through its own direct
sales force, a combination of joint ventures and strategic
alliances and selective licensing and distributorship
arrangements and agreements with independent Agents in foreign
countries.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 1996, the Company cancelled agreements with two third parties.
To date, no litigation has been commenced or threatened regarding
these cancelled agreements. It is the opinion of management that
the termination of these agreements was warranted and, in the
event of litigation, would be deemed to be warranted. Further,
it is management's belief that any claim that may arise from
these situations are without merit.
During 1997, the Company contracted with Chemoco to provide
services to the Company. As advance consideration of the
services to be provided by Chemoco, individuals related to the
Company transferred 155,556 common stock of the Company to
Chemoco. It is the Company's belief that Chemoco did not fulfill
its obligations for the services to be provided and as a result,
the transfer of common stock from individuals related to the
Company to Chemoco was canceled. On September 15, 1999, Chemoco
commenced an action against the Company and a former officer of
the Company claiming for the delivery of 700,000 shares of the
Company, or in the alternative, damages for the Company not
delivering the said shares to the Plaintiff. Since the
commencement of the action and the filing of the Statement of
Defense in November 1999, the solicitors for the Plaintiff have
filed a Notice of Intention to withdraw as solicitors in this
matter. The outcome of this claim is unknown. It is
management's belief that any claim that may arise from this
situation is without merit.
On June 29, 1999, a former director of the Company commenced an
action against the Company claiming, inter alia, for a
declaration that he was entitled to 100,000 warrants of the
Company exercisable at $0.375 per share and a further declaration
that he was entitled to 600,000 warrants exercisable at $0.25 per
share. The warrant agreement was originally issued to the
Director to protect him against any potential claims. When the
director left the Company, the Board of Directors canceled the
warrant agreement for this director and all other directors. The
claim also includes damages for breach of contract and interest
with costs. The Company has filed a defense denying any claims
of the former director in and to the warrants alleged. To date,
no further activity has been commenced and the outcome is
unknown.
