(formerly J.B. Financial Services, Inc.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
MARCH 31, 2000
================================================================================


1.   HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

     The Company was  organized  on September  30,  1996,  under the laws of the
     State of Florida,  as J.B.  Financial  Services,  Inc. On July 19, 1999, an
     Article of Amendment  was filed with the State of Florida for the change of
     the Company's name from J.B. Financial Services,  Inc. to Ableauctions.com,
     Inc.

     The Company is a high-tech  business-to-business  and  consumer  auctioneer
     that conducts its auctions live and simultaneously broadcasts them over the
     Internet.  The Company liquidates a broad range of computers,  electronics,
     office  equipment,  furniture  and  industrial  equipment  that it acquires
     through bankruptcies, insolvencies and defaults.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Generally accepted accounting principles

     The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been prepared by the Company
     without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
     only  normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the
     financial position,  results of operations,  comprehensive loss, changes in
     stockholders'  equity and cash  flows at March 31,  2000 and for the period
     then ended have been made.  These  financial  statements  should be read in
     conjunction  with the audited  financial  statements of the Company for the
     year ended  December 31,  1999.  The results of  operations  for the period
     ended March 31, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be
     expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

     Principles of consolidation

     These   consolidated   financial   statements   include  the   accounts  of
     Ableauctions.com,  Inc.  (formerly J.B. Financial  Services,  Inc.) and its
     wholly owned subsidiaries,  Able Auctions (1991) Ltd. and  Ableauctions.com
     (Washington) Inc. All significant  inter-company  balances and transactions
     have been eliminated on consolidation.

     Foreign currency translation

     The Company accounts for foreign  currency  transactions and translation of
     foreign  currency   financial   statements  under  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency  Translation"  ("SFAS 52").
     Transaction  amounts  denominated  in foreign  currencies are translated at
     exchange rates prevailing at transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary
     assets and  liabilities  are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect
     the exchange rate at that date.  Non-monetary  assets and  liabilities  are
     translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date. Gains and
     losses from  restatement  of foreign  currency  monetary  and  non-monetary
     assets and  liabilities  are included in income.  Revenues and expenses are
     translated at the rates of exchange  prevailing on the dates such items are
     recognized in earnings.

     Financial  statements of the Company's Canadian  subsidiary,  Able Auctions
     (1991) Ltd. are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the
     balance sheet date for assets and liabilities.  The functional  currency of
     Able  Auctions  (1991) Ltd. is the local  currency,  the  Canadian  dollar.
     Translation adjustments, if necessary, are recorded as a separate component
     of Stockholders' Equity.

     Use of estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amount of assets and  liabilities,
     disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the
     financial  statements  and the  reported  amount of revenues  and  expenses
     during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)

     Cash and cash equivalents

     The Company  considers all  investments  with a maturity of three months or
     less to be cash equivalents.

     Inventory

     Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

     Software development

     The  Company  has  adopted   Statement  of  Position   98-1  ("SOP  98-1"),
     "Accounting  for the Costs of Computer  Software  Developed or Obtained for
     Internal Use", as its accounting policy for internally  developed  computer
     software  costs.  Under SOP 98-1,  computer  software costs incurred in the
     preliminary  development stage are expensed as incurred.  Computer software
     costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and
     amortized over the software's estimated useful life.

     Capital assets and depreciation

     Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost
     of capital assets is depreciated  using the declining balance method at the
     following rates:

         Building                                                4%
         Computer equipment                                     30%
         Computer software                                      30%
         Furniture and fixtures                                 20%
         Equipment                                              30%
         Vehicles                                               30%

     Leasehold  improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over
     a period of 10 years.

     Revenue recognition

     The Company  generally  earns revenues from its auction  activities  either
     through  consignment sales, or through sales of inventory  purchased by the
     Company.  For consignment  sales, the Company earns auction fees charged to
     consignees,  and buyer's  premiums  charged to purchasers,  determined as a
     percentage  of the sale price.  For  inventory  sales,  the Company earns a
     profit or incurs a loss on the  sale,  to the  extent  the  purchase  price
     exceeds or is less than the purchase price paid for such inventory.

     For each type of auction revenue,  an invoice is rendered to the purchaser,
     and revenue is recognized by the Company,  at the date of the auction.  The
     auction  purchase  creates a legal  obligation  upon the  purchaser to take
     possession  of,  and pay for the  merchandise.  This  obligation  generally
     provides the Company with  reasonable  assurance of  collection of the sale
     proceeds, from which the Company's earnings are derived, including the fees
     from consignees and purchasers, as well as resale profits.

     Trademarks

     The cost of the trademark  acquired is being  amortized on a  straight-line
     basis over its life of fifteen years.

     Goodwill

     Goodwill  represents the excess of the cost of companies  acquired over the
     fair  value of their  net  assets  at  dates  of  acquisition  and is being
     amortized on a straight-line basis over a period between 10-20 years.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)

     Advertising costs

     The Company recognizes advertising expenses in accordance with Statement of
     Position  98-7,  "Reporting on  Advertising  Costs".  As such,  the Company
     expenses the cost of  communicating  advertising in the period in which the
     advertising space or airtime is used.

     Loss per share

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128,  "Earnings  Per Share" ("SFAS
     128").  Under  SFAS 128,  basic and  diluted  earnings  per share are to be
     presented.  Basic  earnings  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  income
     available to common  shareholders by the weighted  average number of common
     shares  outstanding  in the period.  Diluted  earnings per share takes into
     consideration common shares outstanding  (computed under basic earnings per
     share) and potentially dilutive common shares.


     Income taxes

     Income  taxes are  provided  in  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". A deferred tax
     asset or  liability  is  recorded  for all  temporary  differences  between
     financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards.  Deferred
     tax  expense  (benefit)  results  from the net  change  during  the year of
     deferred tax assets and liabilities.

     Deferred  tax assets are  reduced by a  valuation  allowance  when,  in the
     opinion of management,  it is more likely than not that some portion or all
     of the deferred  tax assets will not be  realized.  Deferred tax assets and
     liabilities  are  adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates
     on the date of enactment.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)

     Stock-based compensation

     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123,  "Accounting  for
     Stock-Based  Compensation,"  encourages, but does not require, companies to
     record  compensation cost for stock-based  employee  compensation  plans at
     fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based  compensation
     using  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock
     Issued to Employees."  Accordingly  compensation  cost for stock options is
     measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's
     stock at the date of the grant over the amount an  employee  is required to
     pay for the stock.

     Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  133   "Accounting  for  Derivative
     Instruments  and  Hedging   Activities"   ("SFAS  133")  which  establishes
     accounting  and reporting  standards  for  derivative  instruments  and for
     hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
     years beginning after June 15, 1999. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137
     to defer the effective date of SFAS 133 to fiscal  quarters of fiscal years
     beginning  after June 15, 2000.  The Company does not  anticipate  that the
     adoption of the statement  will have a significant  impact on its financial
     statements.

     Comprehensive income

     In 1998, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
     No. 130 ("SFAS 130"),  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income".  This  statement
     establishes  rules  for  the  reporting  of  comprehensive  income  and its
     components.

12.  STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123,  "Accounting  for
     Stock-Based  Compensation",  encourages  but does not require  companies to
     record  compensation cost for stock-based  employee  compensation  plans at
     fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based  compensation
     using  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock
     Issued to Employees".  Accordingly,  compensation cost for stock options is
     measured as the excess,  if any, of quoted  market  price of the  Company's
     stock  at the  date  of  grant  over  the  option  price.  No  stock  based
     compensation has resulted from the use of this standard.

     Following is a summary of the status of the plan during 2000 and 1999:

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We were  incorporated  in the State of Florida on  September  30, 1996 under the
name "J.B.  Financial Services,  Inc. On August 24, 1999, we acquired all of the
issued and outstanding  shares of Able Auctions (1991) Ltd.  pursuant to a share
purchase agreement with Dexton Technologies Corporation, the sole shareholder of
Able  Auctions  (1991) at that time. We are an early stage  company.  Before our
acquisition  of Able Auctions  (1991),  we were a shell company with no material
revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities.

On our  acquisition of Able Auctions  (1991),  we acquired all of the assets and
the auction  business of Able Auctions  (1991),  and we undertook the process of
designing,  building  and  testing  an  Internet  based  e-commerce  web site to
broadcast  auctions  over the  Internet.  We  launched  our web site for  public
viewing in September  1999, and conducted our first live broadcast of an auction
on our web site in January, 2000.

Our principal  activity to date has been expanding our auction  business through
developing  the business of Able  Auctions  (1991) and  acquiring  other auction
businesses. During 1999, we acquired the business assets and hired the employees
of Ross Auctioneers & Appraisers Ltd located in British  Columbia,  Canada.

During the first quarter of 2000, we acquired the business  assets and hired the
employee of Falcon Trading,  Inc in Washington  State, and we acquired  Mesler's
Auction House located in Arizona.

We  believe  that our  historic  spending  levels are not  indicative  of future
spending  levels  because  we are  entering  a period in which we will  increase
spending on research and  development,  marketing,  staffing  and other  general
operating  expenses.  We also believe that the historic  results of operation of
Able Auctions (1991),  Ross  Auctioneers,  Falcon Trading,  and Mesler's Auction
House are not indicative of future results of operations because we believe that
our expenses,  losses, and deficit accumulated during our development stage will
increase  significantly before we generate material revenues or profits from our
operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

The information contained in this Management's  Discussion and Analysis contains
"forward looking  statements."  Actual results may materially  differ from those
projected in the forward  looking  statements  as a result of certain  risks and
uncertainties set out in this report

Although   management  believes  that  the  assumptions  made  and  expectations
reflected  in  the  forward  looking  statements  are  reasonable,  there  is no
assurance that the underlying  assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or
that actual future results will not be different from the expectations expressed
in this statement.  Our actual results could differ  materially from the results
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of our ability to:

     o    achieve the objectives of our business strategy;
     o    accelerate or defer operating expenses;
     o    achieve revenue from our operations; and
     o    hire new personnel.

The following discussion is qualified by the more complete financial information
contained in our audited  financial  statements  for the year ended December 31,
1999, contained in the our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed on April 13, 2000,
and our interim financial  statements for the three-month period ended March 31,
2000.  Our financial  statements  have been  prepared in accordance  with United
States generally accepted accounting principles.

The  following  discussion  of our  results  of  operations  should  be  read in
conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the
related notes.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999.

We were not in operations  during 1999 until we acquired Able Auctions (1991) on
August 24, 1999.  During the three months ended March 31, 2000,  we had revenues
of  $1,100,127  attributable  substantially  to the business  operations  of our
wholly owned Canadian subsidiary Able Auctions (1991).  Operations in Washington
and Arizona  were  acquired  February 29 and March 20, 2000,  respectively.  Our
operating  expenses  continue  to  reflect  start up costs  associated  with our
acquisitions  and  start  up and  the  maintenance  costs  relating  to our  web
business. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, our expenses were $1,490,762,
including accounting and legal fees of $116,013 incurred primarily in connection
with  regulatory  filings,  acquisitions  and  due  diligence;  advertising  and
promotion expenses of $154,288 related to promoting our auction business and web
site;  depreciation and amortization  expenses of $120,300;  investor relations,
travel and corporate  development  expenses of $382,176 related to our financing
efforts;  rent and building  occupancy  costs which  included new  facilities of
$209,397 and salaries and  management  fees of $297,676.  Our net losses for the
period were $1,219,978 or $0.07 per share.

We anticipate net operating  losses to increase for the foreseeable  future as a
result of our planned  efforts to expand and diversify  our auction  business in
addition  to  anticipated  development  costs  related to our web site.  We also
expect  costs  related  to  consulting  and  management  fees,  salaries,  rent,
marketing and promotion, and general overhead to increase during 2000.

In addition,  we anticipate  that our general and  administrative  expenses will
also  significantly  increase  as a  result  of  the  growth  in  our  research,
development,  testing and business  development  programs.  The actual levels of
research and development,  administrative and general corporate expenditures are
dependent on the cash resources available to us.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working  capital  position at March 31, 2000 was  $2,474,510.  Cash flow for
operating  activities required $1,674,070 and cash flow for investing activities
required  $1,563,371 relating primarily to the cash component of our acquisition
in  Arizona  that  included  a large  building.  Net cash  flow  from  financing
activities were $4,700,000  from a private  placement of $1,000,000  units at $5
per unit after deducting finance fees.

During  the  quarter   ended  March  31,  2000,   we  completed   the  following
transactions:

     On  February  25,  2000,  the  Company  completed  a private  placement  of
     1,000,000  units at a price  of  $5.00  per  unit  for  total  proceeds  of
     $4,700,000,  net of issuance  costs of $300,000.  Each unit consists of one
     share of common stock and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each
     warrant  entitles  the holder to purchase  one  additional  share of common
     stock at a price of $5.00 until  February  25, 2001 and at a price of $6.00
     until February 25, 2002.

     On February 29, 2000, the Company issued 53,405 shares of common stock at a
     deemed value of $360,805 to purchase the assets of Falcon Trading Inc.

     On March 20, 2000,  the Company  issued 155,486 shares of common stock at a
     deemed value of  $1,243,888,  for the purchase of a building in Scottsdale,
     Arizona.

     On March 20, 2000,  the Company  issued  30,625 shares of common stock at a
     deemed value of $245,000 to purchase the assets of Mesler's Auction House.

Our  operating  and  capital  budget for the year  ending  December  31, 2000 is
approximately  $15 million,  to be used  primarily  for expenses  related to the
acquisition of new auction facilities, expansion of our inventories, continually
developing and upgrading our technologies, launching a marketing campaign in the
United  States and Canada,  and  purchasing  additional  servers  and  operating
systems.

Outlook

We have entered a period of rapid  expansion  and growth.  In their  independent
auditor's report related to our financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1999 dated March 24, 2000,  Davidson & Co. expressed doubt about our ability
to  continue  as a going  concern  due to our lack of  working  capital  for our
planned business activities. In February 2000, we successfully raised $5 million
and a further  $6 million in April 2000 for net  proceeds  of $9.9  million.  We
anticipate  we will be required to raise an  additional $5 million to adequately
fund our operating and capital budget for the year 2000.

We intend to meet our cash  requirements  through  revenues  generated  from our
operations  and  private  or public  placements  of our  equity or debt.  We are
currently seeking such financing by presenting our business plan to merchant and
investment  banks, fund managers and investment  advisors.  We cannot assure you
that we will successfully raise any additional financing on acceptable terms, if
at all, and our failure to meet our cash  requirements  will force us to abandon
some of our plans of  operation,  sell some of our  assets or  certain  business
operations or liquidate our business,  all of which will have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.

We cannot  assure  you that our actual  expenditures  for this  period  will not
exceed our estimated  operating and capital  budget.  Actual  expenditures  will
depend on a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control,  including,
among other things, timing of our web site launch, the revenues from our auction
operations,  the success of our  geographical  expansion,  the  availability  of
financing on acceptable  terms,  reliability of the assumptions of management in
estimating cost and timing, costs related to the development of our web site and
technologies,  economic  conditions  and  competitive  factors  in  the  auction
industry.

Plan of Operation

Our plan of  operation  is based on the  operating  histories  of Able  Auctions
(1991) Ltd., Ross Auctioneers,  Falcon Trading,  and Mesler's Auction House; our
experience in the industry;  our discussions with third parties; the SEC filings
of our  competitors  and the  decisions  of our  management.  Set out below is a
summary of our plan of operation and  operating and capital  budget for the next
fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

GENERATE  REVENUES  THROUGH  AUCTIONS  AND  INCREASE  OUR  VOLUME  OF  SALES  BY
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF LIVE AUCTIONS AT OUR EXISTING LOCATIONS.

We will  continue  to  operate  auctions  at our four  locations  in Surrey  and
Coquitlam,  British Columbia; Redmond,  Washington; and Scottsdale,  Arizona. We
intend to  increase  the number of  auctions  we  currently  hold at each of our
locations to four per month beginning in summer of 2000.

INCREASE  REVENUES BY  BROADCASTING  OUR AUCTIONS ON THE INTERNET AND BY SELLING
MERCHANDISE ON OUR WEB SITE

We launched our web site for public  viewing in September  1999 and  broadcasted
our first  live  auction  in  January  2000.  We are in the  process  of further
refining the technologies related to broadcasting live auctions on our web site.
Visitors to our web site may also  purchase  items from our Retail Store and bid
on items in our Silent Auction.

Initially,  we intend to host live auctions alternating between our locations in
British Columbia,  Washington, and Arizona. We may add auctions of other auction
houses if we acquire  additional  auction  locations or if we develop  strategic
affiliations with other auction houses to broadcast their auctions.

CONTINUE   RESEARCH  AND  DEVELOPMENT  TO  IMPROVE  OUR  WEB  SITE  AND  AUCTION
BROADCASTING TECHNOLOGIES

We plan to continue our research and  development  efforts by improving  our web
site and auction  broadcasting  technologies.  We are in the process of refining
our live auction  broadcasting  technologies  and intend to develop software and
systems that will allow us to improve graphical presentations,  the speed of our
bidding  process,  the  preview of  merchandise  and the  method of  registering
bidders. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $750,000 on research and
development efforts during 2000.



                                       20
<PAGE>


INSTALL THE LIVE BROADCAST TECHNOLOGY AT REGIONAL AUCTION SITES

We plan to install live  broadcast  technology  at all of our auction  locations
during 2000. We estimate the costs of  installing  broadcast  equipment  will be
approximately $125,000 to $150,000 per location.

COMMENCE  GEOGRAPHIC  EXPANSION  PROGRAM BY ACQUIRING OR ENTERING INTO STRATEGIC
AFFILIATIONS WITH AUCTION COMPANIES

We intend to offer an  Internet  broadcasting  service  that  will  allow  other
auction houses in a variety of locations  throughout  North America to broadcast
their  auctions  on our web site.  We have also begun to acquire  other  auction
companies.  Our management will continue to identify  possible auction companies
to approach  regarding  acquisition by us. We expect the focus of our geographic
expansion during 2000 will be in Ontario, Canada; Seattle; New York and Southern
California.

HIRE ADDITIONAL KEY PERSONNEL

We plan to hire  personnel  and  employ  consultants  with  Internet  e-commerce
experience to  complement  our current  management  who are  experienced  in the
auction  industry.  We anticipate adding up to 15 new employees with e-commerce,
software development, and software maintenance experience during 2000.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET

Set forth  below are our  estimated  cash  operating  and  capital  budgets  for
operations,  technology purchases, research and development and implementing our
expansion strategy for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000:

        Marketing                                      $    5,000,000
        Ongoing research and development                      750,000
        Expansion of inventories                            3,000,000
        Servers and operating systems                       1,250,000
        Geographic expansion                                5,000,000
                                                       ------------------
        Required Capital:                              $   15,000,000

Our operating and capital budget for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 is
estimated to be approximately $15 million.  We anticipate that our revenues from
operation and our current working capital will be sufficient to finance our plan
of operations through to September 2000. We will be required to raise additional
capital  during the second to third  quarter 2000 to meet our  anticipated  cash
needs and to fund our plan of  operation  through  to  December  31,  2000.  See
"Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources."  We  cannot  assure  you that  our  actual
expenditures  for that period will not exceed our  estimated  operating  budget.
Actual expenditures will depend on a number of factors, some of which are beyond
our control,  including,  among other things,  the  availability of financing on
acceptable  terms,  acquisition  and/or  expansion  costs,  reliability  of  our
assumptions in estimating costs, certain economic factors, the timing related to
development  of our  technology  and launch of our web site and cost  associated
with operating our auctions.

We will be required to raise  additional  capital during the second quarter 2000
to meet our  anticipated  cash  needs.  If we are  unable  to  raise  additional
financing on acceptable  terms, we may be forced to delay the  implementation of
certain  portions  of our plan of  operation,  which may  adversely  affect  our
business and results of operations.

ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We believe  that we do not have any  material  exposure to interest or commodity
risks. We are exposed to certain economic and political changes in international
markets where we compete, such as inflation rates, recession,  foreign ownership
restrictions,  domestic and foreign  government  spending,  budgetary  and trade
policies and other external factors over which we have no control.

Our  financial  results  are  quantified  in U.S.  dollars and a majority of our
obligations and expenditures with respect to our operations are incurred in U.S.
dollars. In the past the majority of our revenues were derived from the business
operations of our  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Able Auctions  (1991) Ltd.,  whose
operations are conducted in British  Columbia,  Canada and in Canadian  dollars.
Although we do not believe we currently have any materially significant



                                       21
<PAGE>


market risks relating to our operations  resulting from foreign  exchange rates,
if we  enter  into  financing  or other  business  arrangements  denominated  in
currency other than the U.S.  dollar or the Canadian  dollar,  variations in the
exchange  rate may give rise to  foreign  exchange  gains or losses  that may be
significant.

We  currently  have  no  material  long-term  debt  obligations.  We do not  use
financial  instruments  for  trading  purposes  and we are  not a  party  to any
leverage  derivatives.  In the  event we  experience  substantial  growth in the
future,  our business and results of operations  may be  materially  affected by
changes in interest  rates and certain  other  credit risk  associated  with its
operations.

Part II -  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of the date  hereof,  there is no  material  litigation  pending  against the
Company.  From time to time,  the  Company is a party to  litigation  and claims
incidental  to the  ordinary  course  of our  business.  While  the  results  of
litigation  and claims cannot be predicted with  certainty,  we believe that the
final  outcome of such  matters will not have a material  adverse  effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Our business  activities,  including  operations and capital expenditures during
the quarter have been funded  through the issuance of shares of our common stock
in the following transactions:
