AXYN CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) as of December 31, 1999

                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            (U.S. dollars, U.S. GAAP)

December 31, 1999

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

These financial statements are the continuing financial statements of AXYN
Corporation, which was incorporated on February 24, 1998 in Denver, Colorado.

AXYN Corporation and its subsidiaries (see "Basis of Consolidation" below) are
collectively referred to as the "Corporation".

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Corporation in
U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
("GAAP") in the United States of America ("U.S.").

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying
notes. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the period
presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The functional currency of the Corporation is the Canadian dollar. However, for
reporting purposes, the Corporation has adopted the United States dollar as its
reporting currency. Accordingly, the Canadian dollar balance sheets have been
translated into United States dollars at the rates of exchange at the respective
period ends, while transactions during the periods and share capital amounts
have been translated at the weighted average rates of exchange for the
respective periods and the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction,
respectively. Gains and losses arising from these translation adjustments are
included in comprehensive loss.

GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with
U.S. GAAP on a going concern basis. This presumes that funds will be available
to finance ongoing operations and capital expenditures and permit the
realization of assets at their carrying values and the payment of liabilities in
the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. The corporation's
ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependant
upon its ability to achieve sufficient revenues to cover expenses, or to obtain
appropriate levels of financing on a timely basis, the outcome of which cannot
be predicted at this time. Management of the Corporation has undertaken steps as
part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining Corporate
operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (i)
focusing sales and marketing on mobile communications and computing; (ii)
obtaining bank financing to support the Corporation's working capital needs.
These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments to the amounts
and classifications of assets and liabilities which might be necessary should
the corporation be unable to continue its operations as a going concern.




                                                                               9

December 31, 1999

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AXYN Corporation
and its wholly owned subsidiaries AXYN Canada Corporation ("AXYN Canada"),
Burlington Systems Integration Inc. ("Burlington"), AXYN Technologies
Corporation ("AXYN Tech"), Le Group Mobitech Inc. ("Mobitech"), 9016-7230 Quebec
Inc. ("CDI"), AXYN International Gmbh ("a Swiss company"), UNITRA-AXYN Sp.
Z.o.o.("a Polish company") and Syscan International Ltd. ("Syscan") of which the
Corporation owns a controlling interest. Intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated. Acquisitions during the period have been accounted for
using the purchase method.

The financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries have been
translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. All
balance sheet amounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at
the applicable period end. Income statement amounts have been translated using
the weighted average exchange rate for the applicable year.

REVENUE

Revenues are generally recognized, upon shipment when all significant
contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection is reasonably
assured. Consulting and other service revenues are recognized at the time of
performance or proportionately over the term of the contract, as appropriate.
Software license revenues are recognized when delivered in accordance with all
terms and conditions of the customers contracts.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash includes cash equivalents, which are investments that are generally held to
maturity and have terms of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash
equivalents typically consist of term deposits with major North American banks.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which
approximates their fair value.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised principally of raw and finished goods and are stated
at the lower of cost, on a first in first out basis, or net realizable value.

FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight
line method at the following fixed annual rates:

      ASSET                                         RATE
      Leasehold improvements                         20% or the term of
                                                     the lease if shorter
      Office furniture and equipment                 20%
      Computer equipment and software                30%



                                                                              10

December 31, 1999

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Patent costs are recorded at cost. Related amortization is calculated by the
straight-line method over a period of three years.

Software development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet generally
accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. Software development
costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility do not
meet these criteria and are expensed as incurred. The Corporation reassesses
whether it has met the relevant criteria for deferral and amortization at each
reporting date. Research costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill is recorded at cost. Related amortization is calculated using the
straight-line method over a period of three to ten years. The Corporation
evaluates the expected future net cash flows of the acquired business at each
reporting date, and adjusts goodwill for any impairment.

INCOME TAXES

The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per common share has been computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of shares outstanding. In accordance with the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock sold at a nominal value, as
compared to the public offering, should be considered outstanding for all
periods presented.



                                                                              11

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 requires public companies to report
financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments.
The Corporation identifies its operating segments based on how management
internally evaluates separate financial information (if available), business
activities and management responsibility. The Corporation believes it operates
in a single business segment and adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
Throughout fiscal 1999 and 1998 the Corporation had one reportable segment -
computer software tools which the Corporation sells as part of the Corporation's
consulting services.

Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are substantially in Canada, with the
exception of revenues generated in Europe by AXYN International, which amounted
to $228,148 this quarter. The following information summarizes the second
quarter results by organization:

9.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

There is no material concentration of credit risk related to the Corporation's
position in trade accounts receivable due to the Corporation's dispersion of its
customer base. Credit risk, with respect to trade receivables, is minimized
because of the Corporation's large customer base.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying value of the Corporation's financial instruments, including cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short term
loans, approximate the fair value due to their short maturities.

10.   INCOME TAXES

As of June 30, 1999, the Corporation had tax loss carryforwards of approximately
$2,100,000 available to reduce future years' income for tax purposes. These
losses expire over 2000 to 2006. In addition, the Corporation's subsidiary has
scientific research and experimental development expenditures of $300,000
available to reduce future years income for tax purposes.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial
condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Forward Looking Statements:

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, including those concerning
the Company's expectations of future sales revenues, gross profits, technology
development, sales and marketing, and administrative expenses, product
introductions, cash requirements and Year 2000 compliance, include certain
forward-looking statements. As such, actual results may vary materially from
such expectations. Factors which could cause actual results to differ from
expectations include variations in the level of orders which can be affected by
general economic conditions and in the markets served by the Company's
customers, the international economic and political climates, difficulties or
delays in product functionality or performance, the timing of future product
releases, failure to respond adequately to either changes in technology or
customer preferences, changes in pricing by the Company or its competitors,
ability to manage growth, risk of nonpayment of accounts receivable, changes in
budgeted costs, ability to evaluate, identify and correct date recognition
problems in software used by the Company, its customers or suppliers, all of
which constitute significant risks, There can be no assurance that the Company's
results of operations will not be adversely affected by one or more of these
factors.

All figures reported in the enclosed December 31, 1999 second quarter report are

FINANCIAL RESULTS:

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

For the second quarter ending December 31, 1999 the Company recorded a profit of
$345,739 or $0.02 per share as compared to a loss of $11,032 or ($0.001) per
share for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The profit for Q2 Fiscal 2000 is
a result of Year 2000 contract work that peaked just prior to the millennium
rollover and from increased sales of wireless products and mobile printers at
Syscan International for the quarter. Quarter over quarter growth in sales was
195% from $1.454M to $2.849 M and for the six-month period ending December 31,
1999 sales grew 4,529% year-over-year from $0.095M to $4.302M. The company is
continuing to invest in changing its business model to other non-year 2000
related businesses with specific concentration on the Mobile Communications and
Computing (MC&C) market. During the quarter no new acquisitions were undertaken
and management's focus was on the delivery of services associated with its Year
2000 contracts and on establishing strong management and business plans for each
of its acquisitions and investments announced earlier in the year.

Set forth below are selected financial data for the Company.

REVENUES

Q2 revenues increased to $2,849,024 over sales of $1,453,730 in Q1 FY2000 and
$26,401 during the previous period. Quarter over quarter growth in sales was
195% from $1.454M to $2.849 M and for the six-month period ending December 31,
1999 sales grew 4,529% year-over-year from $0.095M to $4.302M. Revenues during
the three month period ended December 31, 1999 included $1,604,247 from services
provided in the delivery of Year 2000 contingency reports on mission critical
buildings of the Canadian government, coast-to-coast under the "Standing Offer"
supply contract with the Canadian Government, Syscan contributed $979,953 in
revenue from the sale of ruggedized mobile printers and $228,148 in services was
provided by Unitra-AXYN in support of their Year 2000 clients.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales during the period were $1,318,926, that included $610,442 for
Syscan primarily derived from the manufacture of rugged printers and $536,960
from the delivery of Year 2000 related services. The cost of sales includes
direct costs associated with the delivery of services that were direct costs of
labor to deliver Y2K embedded systems consulting services. In the case of Syscan
the cost of sales reflects a gross profit of 24 % from the manufacture of mobile
printers. Overall AXYN gross margins increased from 48.6% in Q1 to 69.2% in Q2.
This was mainly a result of better margins received on the delivery of Y2K
services by AXYN Canada during the period.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist primarily of costs
associated with the accounting and human resources needs, professional expenses,
leasing of facilities, insurance, legal, depreciation expenses, and payroll. The
General and Administrative expenses for the second quarter were $1,116,771 over
$79,633 in the previous period ending December 31, 1998. Q1 FY2000 expenses were
recorded at $1,018,033 or 70.0 % of sales compared to Q2 expenses of $1,304,930
or 45.8 % of sales a reduction of 24.2% quarter over quarter. In the current
quarter costs increased marginally as a result of additional new hires to
support its year-end Year 2000 services contracts.

Sales and Marketing expenses consist primarily of hiring sales staff, web site
development, marketing materials, e.g., brochure development and printing costs,
and hiring marketing staff.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company has reduced its research and development projects in Fiscal 2000 and
is supporting Syscan International's efforts to develop new mobile communication
products.

Software development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet generally
accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. Software development
costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility do not
meet these criteria and are expensed as incurred. Research costs are expensed as
incurred. The Company reassesses whether it has met relevant criteria for
deferral and amortization at each reporting date.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets generated during the period was $12,000 associated with the
use of the "UNITRA" trade name by AXYN International. Goodwill for the first six
months of Fiscal Y2000 was $452,679 as a result of the acquisition of AXYN
International and Unitra-AXYN less related purchase adjustments for SIQ.



                                                                              19

CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company used $167,566 in its
operations and invested $517,892 in acquisitions during the first six (6) months
of FY2000 and the purchase of fixed assets. The Company had an opening bank
overdraft position of $43,703 and raised $676,228 from additional shareholder
loans and $499,900 from the issuance of shares. At December 31, 1999 the Company
had a cash balance of $446,967. As noted earlier the Company has funded its
operations primarily through sales of Year 2000 products and services, systems
integration product and services sales, mobile printer sales, private sales of
equity securities, and loans from shareholders.

LIQUIDITY

The Company has principal liquid resources, comprising cash, receivables,
prepaid expenses and inventory of $3,150,259 as of December 31, 1999. Depending
on the amount and timing of future sales and receipts, the Company will seek to
raise additional capital during FY2000. The Company has filed a Form 10-SB with
the SEC and will be seeking a listing on the Smallcap market when it satisfies
all requirements of the NASDAQ.

The Company will address the issue of funding for the various business units
acquired in subsequent business plans. Different and varied approaches will be
adopted as needs vary and the nature of the business units will vary.

AXYN acquired a 57.6% controlling interest in Syscan International in June 1999.
During the quarter AXYN converted a short-term loan, advanced to Syscan during
the transition period, for equity that resulted in AXYN increasing its holdings
in Syscan to 60.4% with voting control of 67.6%. On December 30, 1999 AXYN
entered into a second private placement agreement with Syscan to raise an
additional $C720,000 during AXYN's Q3 period. Management does not expect that
AXYN's holdings will materially change as a result of the completion of this
placement. Since AXYN's participation, the stock of Syscan (CDN:SYSN) moved from
$C0.18 to $C0.50, increasing the value of AXYN's holdings in Syscan. These
holdings represent AXYN's investment in Syscan, at fair market value. We believe
continued growth in share price will provide Syscan with flexibility to generate
additional financing through the equity markets and look to Syscan to be
self-financing in the near future.

IMPACT OF ACQUISITIONS

No acquisitions occurred during the quarter. The Company expects to continue to
seek out acquisitions that complement its existing lines of business. Specific
acquisitions will also be targeted that allow the company to gain better entry
into existing and new markets. The Company has identified both the US and
European markets as targets for future acquisitions. To fund these acquisitions,
the Company anticipates that it will raise capital through the sale of
securities and through debt financing.

U.S. GAAP VERSUS CANADIAN GAAP RELATING TO SYSCAN INTERNATIONAL

The acquisition of Syscan International, a Canadian manufacturing, research and
development company resulted in the Company reporting Syscan results under US
GAAP accounting rules. In Canada, some costs associated with R&D can be
capitalized as Deferred Charges on the Balance Sheet showing as an asset on the
financial statements and expensed over a period of time. Under US GAAP, these
costs are expensed immediately thus materially changing the interpretation of
the Syscan results depending on which country's GAAP rules are being applied.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company established a formal program to address any potential Y2K compliance
issues relating to its internal operating systems, products, distributors,
resellers and vendors. The Company reviewed all of its major internal operating
systems and monitored any new additions to its internal operating systems for
Y2K compliance. Substantially all of the Company's internally-developed products
have been designed and tested to satisfy the Company's Y2K specifications. The
Company reviewed the status of its distributors, resellers and vendors with
regards to Y2K compliance. The cost of the Company's Y2K compliance program did
not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or liquidity.

The Company has purchased or procured its essential equipment, software,
systems, and inventory within the past 18 months. The Company has sought and
received confirmation from its key third-party suppliers and vendors that the
hardware, software, products, and services furnished by these vendors are Y2K
compliant. In addition, the vendors of the Company's own internal network,
computers, accounting, and other systems have assured the Company that their
products are Y2K compliant.

The worst case for the Company with respect to Y2K compliance would have been
the failure of common services such as electrical supply, water supply, data or
voice communications or other common services that may disrupt the Company's
ability to provide services and products. For the Company, the consequences
would have been that customers refused to pay for the Company's services and
products and the Company would have suffered a decline in revenues. Costs would
have gone up as the Company would seek to mitigate its problems. The Company
could have lost its goodwill, reputation for reliability, and some or its entire
customer base.

The Company did not experience any adverse results from Y2K failures to date.
