SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted

accounting principals requires management

to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and

liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of

the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during

the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts

receivable and deferred instructional programs expense, accounts payable,

accrued expense and deferred revenue. The carrying amounts of such financial

instruments as reflected in the balance sheet approximate the estimated fair

value of the accounts as of September 30, 2000 and 1999. The estimated fair

value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in

a current market exchange or of future earnings or cash flows.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of

WHITNEY INFORMATION NETWORK, INC. (formerly Win Systems International, Inc.);

and its wholly owned

subsidiaries; Whitney Education Group, Inc. (formerly Win Systems, Inc.);

Whitney Canada, Inc.; 1311448 Ontario, Inc.; Wealth Intelligence Network, Inc.;

Whitney Consulting Services, Inc.; Russ Whitneys Wealth Centers, Inc.; Whitney

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUE

Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time the sale is made. Revenue

from instructional programs is recorded (1) when the non refundable deposit is

received for the instructional programs and the instructional programs have

taken place; (2) when it is reasonably certain that the balance of the option to

purchase additional instructional programs will be exercised and paid and the

instructional programs have taken place and (3) revenues are deferred when the

instructional programs proceeds

are received in full in the current period and the instructional programs take

place in a subsequent period. See liability for Deferred Revenues on the balance

sheet in the amount of $22,659,677 at September 30, 2000 and $8,801,815 at

September 30, 1999.

DEFERRED EXPENSE

When a student signs up to attend future instructional programs with the

Company, the tuition that was collected or recorded

as a receivable is deferred. The expenses directly related to

the deferred tuition are also deferred. The deferred expense associated with

future instructional programs are shown on the balance sheet as Deferred Expense

in the amount of $18,263,437 at September 30, 2000 and $8,127,464 at September

30, 1999.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS

No. 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes" in 1993. SFAS No. 109 requires the

liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes result in

temporary differences in the recognition of revenue and expenses for income tax

and financial reporting purposes. These differences are primarily due to the

differences in accrual basis reporting for statement purposes and cash basis

reporting for tax purposes.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The accounts receivable are trade receivables arising from the sale of

educational products and instructional programs. The Company believes the

allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover any uncollectible amounts

as of September 30, 2000 and 1999. The entire amount of the sales related to the

net receivables is deferred.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

In 1997 the Company adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 (the

"Statement") establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per

share ("EPS"). This Statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a

presentation of basic EPS and requires dual presentation of

basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of

operations for all entities with complex capital structures.

This Statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of

basic EPS and requires dual presentation of

basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations for all

entities with complex capital structures. This Statement also requires a

reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to

the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: Office Building Purchased

WHITNEY INFORMATION NETWORK, INC. entered into a purchase agreement on August

11, 2000 to purchase real property in Cape Coral, Florida known as the SunBank

Building at 1612 E. Cape Coral Parkway at a purchase price of $2,200,000. The

closing of this commercial office building took place on November 9, 2000. A

deposit of $500,000 was made on August 11, 2000 and an additional down payment

of $500,000 was paid at closing.

The Seller took back a $1,200,000 purchase money balloon payment mortgage due

November 9, 2004, interest payable monthly at an initial rate of 9% per annum

due on the first of each month. The interest rate of 9% is adjustable on a

semi-annual basis by the amount of change, if any, in the prime rate charged by

the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, using the rate in effect each June 1st

and each December 1st as the basis for the change. During the first three years

of this mortgage, the interest rate shall not exceed 10% or fall below 8%.

During the fourth year the interest shall not be less than 8.5%. Principal

payments may be paid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

The SunBank Building is approximately 30,000 square feet, 12,000 square feet of

which will be used by the Company as executive and sales offices.

The balance of the 18,000 square feet is leased to tenants under noncancellable

operating leases or unallocated for use at this time.

The second floor of the main building consisting of 11,000 square feet is leased

for $88,000 annually for a term of two years ending October 31, 2002 and for an

additional three years thereafter at 5% annual rental increases.

An additional 1,635 square feet is leased to another tenant for $20,040 annually

through September 30, 2001, plus annual CAM payments of $7,620. Thereafter, the

tenant has an option to extend the lease for five years at annual rental

increases of 5%. The mortgage interest payment will be $9,000 monthly.

INCOME TAXES

The reconciliation between the provision for income taxes and the amount which

results from applying the federal statutory rate of 34% to the taxable income

before income taxes is as follows:

Federal Income Tax expense at the statutory rate $ 805,445

State Tax, net of Federal Tax benefit 76,016

As of December 31, 1997 the Company had Federal net operating loss carry

forwards of approximately $96,000 that were used in 1998. The Company had

previously reported its revenues and expenses for income tax purposes on the

"cash basis" of accounting. Deferred income taxes of $-0- at September 30, 2000

and $267,000 at September 30, 1999 reflect primarily the taxes owing on the

change of accounting method at the end of 1998 to be paid over the next six

years and the net tax effects of differences between the carrying amounts of

assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for

income tax purposes.

INDEBTEDNESS

There were no borrowings from unrelated third parties for the

The Company is currently having a disagreement with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (SEC) over an accounting method issue. The Company is currently

treating certain direct response advertising and related instructional programs

expenses which have been incurred to produce its deferred revenues as deferred

expenses in order to have a proper matching of income and expenses. When the

deferred revenues are completely recognized as current revenue in subsequent

periods over the subsequent eighteen months and on average over six to nine

months, the related expenses giving rise to such deferred revenues are then

currently expensed.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

The SECs position is that all costs incurred to produce the deferred revenues,

with the exception of instructors fees, should be expensed in the current period

and not matched against the revenues that were created by such expenses. The

Company believes

that the SECs position is incorrect and is a departure from Generally Accepted

Accounting Principles.

The Companys financial statements are presented and have consistently been

presented based on a percentage of completion cost accounting method. The

Company believes that this current, more sophisticated accounting method

presents more fairly the results of its operations because this more detailed

method provides for the proper matching of income with related expenses.

Therefore, based on the GAAP principle of materiality, it is more important to

follow the matching principle than to adhere to a strict interpretation of SOP

93-7, which under the SECs interpretation could eliminate all deferral of direct

response advertising. Management believes that this would result in an unfair

presentation of the financial statements.

Upon full consideration of the issue, it is the Companys position that GAAP

requires a proper matching of income and expense. This could only be

accomplished by using a sophisticated percentage of completion cost accounting

method which requires deferred expense accounting, despite SEC suggesting that

it is not allowed under SOP 93-7.

Since this issue is overwhelmingly material, the financial statements could only

be presented fairly with the proper matching of income and expense method.

The Companys business is unique. SOP 93-7 does not take into consideration such

a unique marketing operation that is in fact the Company experience. SOP 93-7 is

non applicable as the Company does not rely on the use of estimates in matching

its advertising expenses to specific instructional programs income. Each dollar

of advertising is specifically identified as incurred and matched exactly to

each instructional program for which it was intended. This is a more

sophisticated method of accounting for advertising and related costs than is

assumed in SOP 93-7.

To further support the Companys position, two accounting models have been

developed by the Company which compare the present accounting method of the

Company and the SEC suggested method. Both models report a summary of the

Companys operations for the three years 1997 to 1999; and for the year 2000

based on actual results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, combined

with a financial projection of the last quarter of 2000; and a projection of the

Companys business from 2001 through 2006.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

These 10-year models report the results of operations using both the current

Company method and the SEC suggested method. Using the Company method, the model

results in a series of profitable years, substantial annual income tax

provisions, and a financially healthy company based on historic steady sales

growth and projected steady future sales growth.

Using the SEC method, despite steady sales growth over a nine year period, four

years of which are actual, there are losses for all of the first nine years and

no income taxes. Assuming a major hypothetical downturn in the 10th year, based

on a huge downturn in sales, such as might be experienced in a winding up of the

Companys business, or if the Company discontinued current operations or went

into another line of business, or hypothetically went out of business, the SEC

method model shows a large profit in that 10th year, totally distorting the

results of operations.

Based on the SEC method model, it appears that good years for sales growth and

cash accumulation result in losses and no taxes, and a disaster year in sales

results in a large profit.

Based on the Company method, the model reflects a normal business cycle without

distortion of the results of operations. The Company intends to present these

models with supporting statements to the SEC as soon as possible and believes

that the SEC will agree with the Company upon proper consideration and review of

the issue.

However, if the SEC were to prevail, the Company would have to restate its

financial statements to reflect a change in accounting method, as follows:

Potentially

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

The Company is confident that the present deferred revenues and expenses and

percentage of completion cost accounting method reflects the Companys financial

position more accurately than does that of the SECs suggested SOP 93-7 method.

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had cash in excess of $3,800,000; no long

or short-term borrowings; no unpaid bills; no unpaid taxes; and approximately

$3,800,000 in working capital. A company generating approximately $10,000,000 in

losses over four years, as would be the case per the SECs position, would not

likely be able to show such a strong current position as the Company now enjoys

and not likely would be increasing cash balances each period as the Company has

accomplished and as is the case without borrowing or liquidating assets or

obtaining equity investors.

The Company is supported in this position by expert opinions including the

Companys auditors, by CPA auditing consultants, by financial consultants, and by

legal consultants.

The Company will defend this position vigorously. Management believes that to

change the current accounting method away from matching deferred instructional

programs expenses against the related revenues which have been deferred until

the instructional programs are held, would result in a material misstatement of

the Companys financial position and results of operations. While it is the

Companys intent to adhere to all SEC rules and guidelines, it is not the

Companys wishes to follow the SECs staff suggestions if by doing so the Company

would be required to issue financial statements which would follow an incorrect

accounting method, which would be a material departure from Generally Accepted

Accounting Principles.

Management further believes that upon the proper presentation to the SEC of the

Companys position on this complex accounting method issue, the SEC will agree

with the Companys position and that there will be no need to restate any

financial statements.

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company knows of no litigation, present, threatened or contemplated, or

unsatisfied judgment against the Company, its officers or directors, or any

proceedings in which the Company, its officers or directors are a party.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated

financial statements and notes thereto.

None of the Companys business is subject to seasonal fluctuations.

Revenues: Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was

$28,989,982, an increase of $12,274,595 or 73% compared to the same period in

1999. The combination of the increase in advanced instructional programs held

and the higher registrations contributed to the increase. Revenues for the three

months ended September 30, 2000 were $11,571,960 as compared to $6,429,067 for

the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $5,142,893 or 80%.

Advertising and Sales Expense: Advertising and sales expense,

of which Advertising represents over 60% of the expenses for the nine months

ended September 30, 2000, was $9,510,267, an increase of $4,729,935 or 98%

compared to the same period in 1999. For the three months ended September 30,

2000, advertising and sales expenses were $3,664,096 as compared with $1,806,134

for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 103%. The increase

in Advertising and Sales expense is due to higher volume resulting from

increased sales and increased advertising expenses related to Whitney Internet

Services, Inc.s new product and services and the continued growth in the real

estate division.

General and Administrative expenses increased to $7,871,574, an increase of

$4,476,208, or 100% over the comparable period in 1999. This increase is due to

the hiring of new management personnel to support the Companys growth and

increased personnel in the internet division. The Company believes that its

current management and employee base is sufficient to support its current

operations and near term projected future growth.

Cost of Sales increased proportionately in comparison with the increase in sales

for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $9,436,242, an increase of

$2,353,287 or 33% over the prior comparable period in 1999. Cost of sales for

the three months ended September 30, 1999 decreased by $331,167, a decrease of

12%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in efficiency in operations

and higher gross margins on product and instructional program costs. The

telemarketing division and the financial division both contributed heavily to

producing these efficiencies.

24

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Total Consolidated net income was $1,290,438 for the nine months ended September

30, 2000 and $446,566 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, primarily due to

increases in the real estate division.

The Internet division, although small as compared to the Company as a whole, had

a loss for the nine months of approximately $1,600,000 and $700,000 for the

quarter. This loss was caused primarily by ineffective marketing programs and

poor management. The cost per person of TV advertising for this division has

exceeded the Companys threshold of acceptability and has contributed greatly to

the loss. All TV advertising for this division has stopped as of November 1,

2000. The company has, in the 4th quarter of the year taken additional steps to

eliminate losses in this division. The Company is currently testing various

marketing programs to enhance the Internet division, which are designed to

produce sales at a cost in which the Company can realize its normal profit

margin. The real estate division profits have increased proportionately this

year and especially in the third quarter so there are no visible signs that

would contribute to any reduction the Companys upward growth trend.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) for the

nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $2,325,897 and $1,475,021,

respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, EBITDA was

$771,505 and $503,397 respectively. EBITDA is defined as net income before

income taxes, interest and other income and expense, net, plus depreciation and

amortization including amortization of pending real estate sales contracts.

25

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companys capital requirements consist primarily of working capital, capital

expenditures and acquisitions. Historically,

the Company has funded its working capital and capital expenditures using cash

and cash equivalents on hand. Cash increased from $1,274,708 to $3,824,846, an

increase of

$2,619,323 or 217% over the previous comparable period in 1999.

The Companys cash provided by operating activities was

$2,995,096 and $1,152,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,

respectively. In the third quarter 2000, cash flows from advanced instructional

programs were positively impacted by the increased collection efforts by the

sales associates accompanying the instructors at the instructional program

locations.

The Companys cash used in investing activities was $444,058

and $325,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,

respectively. The Companys cash used in investing activities for the nine months

ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 were primarily attributable to the purchase of

office property and equipment of $469,505 and $198,134, respectively, and a

$500,000 deposit in the third quarter for a new office building closed on

November 9, 2000. See Subsequent Events Note.

The Company is currently having a disagreement with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (SEC) over an accounting method issue. The Company is currently

treating certain direct response advertising and related instructional programs

expenses which have been incurred to produce its deferred revenues as deferred

expenses in order to have a proper matching of income and expenses. When the

deferred revenues are completely recognized as current revenue in subsequent

periods over the subsequent eighteen months and on average over six to nine

months, the related expenses giving rise to such deferred revenues are then

The SECs position is that all costs incurred to produce the deferred revenues,

with the exception of instructors fees, should be expensed in the current period

and not matched against the revenues that were created by such expenses. The

Company believes

Upon full consideration of the issue, it is the Companys position that GAAP

requires a proper matching of income and expense. This could only be

accomplished by using a sophisticated percentage of completion cost accounting

method which requires deferred expense accounting, despite SEC suggesting that

it is not allowed under SOP 93-7.

Since this issue is overwhelmingly material, the financial statements could only

sophisticated method of accounting for advertising and related costs than is

assumed in SOP 93-7.

To further support the Companys position, two accounting models have been

developed by the Company which compare the present accounting method of the

Company and the SEC suggested method. Both models report a summary of the

Companys operations for the three years 1997 to 1999; and for the year 2000

based on actual results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, combined

with a financial projection of the last quarter of 2000; and a projection of the

Companys business from 2001 through 2006.

These 10-year models report the results of operations using both the current

Company method and the SEC suggested method. Using the Company method, the model

results in a series of profitable years, substantial annual income tax

provisions, and a financially healthy company based on historic steady sales

growth and projected steady future sales growth.

Using the SEC method, despite steady sales growth over a nine year period, four

years of which are actual, there are losses for all of the first nine years and

no income taxes. Assuming a major hypothetical downturn in the 10th year, based

on a huge downturn in sales, such as might be experienced in a winding up of the

Companys business, or if the Company discontinued current operations or went

into another line of business, or hypothetically went out of business, the SEC

method model shows a large profit in that 10th year, totally distorting the

results of operations.

Based on the SEC method model, it appears that good years for sales growth and

cash accumulation result in losses and no taxes, and a disaster year in sales

results in a large profit.

27

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Based on the Company method, the model reflects a normal business cycle without

distortion of the results of operations. The Company intends to present these

models with supporting statements to the SEC as soon as possible and believes

that the SEC will agree with the Company upon proper consideration and review of

the issue.

However, if the SEC were to prevail, the Company would have to restate its

financial statements to reflect a change in accounting method, as follows:

Potentially

Restatable

Stated Net(Loss) Which

Net Income Would Be Necessary

Per Companys Per SECs

Position Position

-------- --------

Year Ended December 31, 1998 $ 768,436 $ ( 2,800,000)

Year Ended December 31, 1999 $ 1,391,770 $ ( 2,600,000)

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 $ 1,290,438 $ ( 4,100,000)

The Company is confident that the present deferred revenues and expenses and

percentage of completion cost accounting method reflects the Companys financial

position more accurately than does that of the SECs suggested SOP 93-7 method.

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had cash in excess of $3,800,000; no long

or short-term borrowings; no unpaid bills; no unpaid taxes; and approximately

$3,800,000 in working capital. A company generating approximately $10,000,000 in

losses over four years, as would be the case per the SECs position, would not

likely be able to show such a strong current position as the Company now enjoys

and not likely would be increasing cash balances each period as the Company has

accomplished and as is the case without borrowing or liquidating assets or

obtaining equity investors.

The Company is supported in this position by expert opinions including the

Companys auditors, by CPA auditing consultants, by financial consultants, and by

legal consultants.

The Company will defend this position vigorously. Management believes that to

change the current accounting method away from matching deferred instructional

programs expenses against the related revenues which have been deferred until

the instructional programs are held, would result in a material misstatement of

the Companys financial position and results of operations. While it is the

Companys intent to adhere to all SEC rules and guidelines, it is not the

Companys wishes to follow the SECs staff suggestions if by doing so the Company

would be required to issue financial statements which would follow an incorrect

accounting method, which would be a material departure from Generally Accepted

Accounting Principles.

28

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Management further believes that upon the proper presentation to the SEC of the

Companys position on this complex accounting method issue, the SEC will agree

with the Companys position and that there will be no need to restate any

financial statements.
