Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
BEVERLY HILLS LTD., INC.
March 31, 2000
Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Beverly Hills Ltd., Inc. (the Company) was first incorporated in Utah on April
29, 1939 as Ophir Queen Mines Company. On June 15, 1974, Ophir Queen Mines
Company changed its name to Hawk International. The Company had substantial
operations until March 15, 1996 when the Company discontinued operations and
entered the Development Stage. Hawk International changed its name to Beverly
Hills Country Club on February 28, 1998. Beverly Hills Country Club then changed
its name to Beverly Hills Ltd., Inc. on August 13, 1998.
The Company was a developmental stage company from March 15, 1996 to December
31, 1998 as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7. The
Company elected not to be a developmental stage company in 1999 due to the
acquisitions of the subsidiaries.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, HMW Golf d/b/a The Hanlon Group, a shell, Golf Shoes
Plus, Inc., a retail and internet golf company, Pro's Edge Wholesale, Inc., a
wholesale golf company, Focus Media Limited, involved in digitalization of
information for dissemination, distribution and promotion through digital media
and Keynote Acquisition Corporation. All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
Accounting Method
The Company recognizes income and expense on the accrual basis of accounting.
Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
All property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their
estimated useful lives, which is three years for computers and website
development costs, five to ten years for furniture and equipment and ten years
for leasehold improvements, using the straight-line method. Depreciation expense
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 totaled $63,854 and $239
respectively.
9
<PAGE>
Investment
The Company has a less than twenty percent investment in the equity of an
investee. The Company accounts for the investment using the cost method.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out
method.
Goodwill
Goodwill is amortized on the straight-line basis over four years. Amortization
expense of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was
$206,604 and $40,125 respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under this
method, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the net tax effects of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting and the amounts used for income taxes.
Prepaid Advertising
Prepaid advertising consists of advertising, valued by the advertising agency at
$2,011,250, that was purchased by the Company in exchange for 250,000 shares of
common stock. The market value at July 30, 1999 was $7.56 per share. The
contract was valued and recorded at the stock price which gave a total value of
$1,890,625. Advertising is expensed when the advertisement is first run. During
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company expensed $72,257 and
zero, respectively, of advertising expense associated with the prepaid
advertising. The advertising can be used by the Company at any time.
On November 15, 1999 Beverly Hills Ltd., Inc. entered into an advertising
agreement whereby the Company was to issue 600,000 shares of stock in exchange
for advertising valued by the advertising agency at $2,400,000. The Company
recorded the transaction as prepaid advertising worth $1,590,000, which was
equal to the market price of the stock at the date of the contract. The market
price of the stock on November 15, 1999 was $2.65 per share. During the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company expensed $113,646 and zero,
respectively, of the prepaid advertising cost. The advertising can be used by
the Company at any time. The stock was not issued as of March 31, 2000 but was
outstanding. The stock to be issued, valued at $1,590,000, is included in
additional paid-in capital -- stock payable. The remaining $20,000 in stock
payable is payable to affiliates.

<PAGE>
Reclassifications
Reclassification of certain amounts in the 1999 consolidated financial
statements have been made to conform to 2000 presentation. The reclassifications
did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
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 amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is
computed in the same manner, except the number of weighted average shares
outstanding is adjusted for the number of additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued. The
following table represents the earnings per share calculations for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

Note I - Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company, Marc Barhonovich, Steven Velte and Michael Hanlon, an officer of
Global Golf, are defendants in an action pending in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia brought by NBC Sports International
Limited. The parties have settled this matter and it will be dismissed upon the
Company fully performing its obligations under the terms of the settlement
agreement. The Company is required to pay a remaining $400,000 for advertising
they had used in connection with an earlier agreement with CNBC Sports
International Limited. Through March 31, 2000 the Company had paid $100,000 to
CNBC leaving a balance accrued of $300,000 still owing at that time. Subsequent
to March 31, 2000 the remaining balance of $300,000 has been paid.
The Company and one of its stockholders, Lehigh Enterprise, Ltd. (Lehigh) are
plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Friss Asset Management Company (Friss), an
associated individual, Irvin
15
<PAGE>
Freedman, The Grand Master Company, Chautauqua Asset Management Company, and New
Generation Polymers, LLC which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the
Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, Civil Case No. 99-2286-CIV-26C. This
lawsuit arises from (a) certain abortive acquisition transactions, pursuant to
which the Company would have acquired various companies, including The Grand
Master Company, Chautauqua Asset Management Company and New Generation Polymers,
LLC, in exchange for stock and capital funding to be provided by the Company to
each of the companies to be acquired; and (b) an aborted financing transaction
pursuant to a separate agreement between Lehigh and Friss, in which Lehigh
agreed to furnish 1,600,000 of its shares in the Company to Friss as
consideration for $8,000,000 of capital funding to be provided by Friss to the
Company.
The Company declined to conclude the acquisition transactions because
information and documentation necessary and material to the transactions, and
which were to have been provided pursuant to the acquisition agreements, were
never forthcoming, and because the companies to be acquired were found by the
Company not to be as represented. Lehigh declined to transfer any of its shares
in the Company to Friss because of the foregoing, and because Friss did not
provide $8,000,000 in capital funding to the Company as agreed.
In the lawsuit, the Company seeks to rescind the relevant acquisition agreements
and the agreement between the Company and Friss, based upon fraud in the
inducement, and also seeks damages for breach of each of those agreements. The
defendants have filed counterclaims in which they allege breach of the subject
agreements by The Company and seek monumental damages totaling $128,000,000. The
Company believes the counterclaims to be wholly without merit or subject to
valid defenses based upon, among other things, fraud in the inducement and
material breaches by the opposing parties. The lawsuit is now in the discovery
phase.
On January 26, 1999, the Company concluded its acquisitions of two of its
present subsidiaries, Golf Shoes Plus, Inc. and Pro's Edge Wholesale, Inc.
(respectively, GSP and PEW) from their former stockholder, Randall J. (Hap)
Personett. The Company has certain outstanding obligations, in cash and also,
possibly, additional (restricted) shares of the Company's common stock,
representing the balance of the consideration which it agreed to pay for GSP.
The Company believes the cash portion of its remaining obligation to Mr.
Personett for the acquisition of GSP to be in the approximate amount of
$185,000. The Company and Mr. Personett agree that the number of additional
shares of the Company's common stock to which Mr. Personett is entitled totals
232,335 shares.
Mr. Personett has also asserted that he is entitled to (a) payment by the
Company of unpaid salaries pursuant to Beverly Hills' guarantee of his
Employment Agreements with GSP and PEW; (b) payment by GSP and PEW of unpaid
rents on business premises of which he is the lessor and GSP and PEW are the
lessees; and (c) payment or reimbursement of other sums which he claims to have
advanced to GSP and/or PEW or paid on their behalf since January 26, 1999.
In the first of these lawsuits referenced above, GSP, PEW and the Company have
sued Mr. Personett for breach of his Employment Agreements with GSP and PEW and
for breach of his fiduciary obligations to GSP, PEW and Beverly Hills, and seek
both damages and injunctive
16
<PAGE>
relief. In the second (Mr. Personett's Circuit Court suit), Mr. Personett seeks
damages against the Company for alleged breaches of the Stock Purchase Agreement
relating to the Company's acquisition of GSP, including principally the
Company's failure to pay the balance of the cash and stock representing the
agreed consideration for that company. He also seeks to recover his alleged
unpaid salaries from GSP, PEW and the Company. Finally, in the third (Mr.
Personett's County Court suit), Mr. Personett seeks judgment for possession of
the business premises of which he is the lessor and GSP and PEW are the lessees;
the imposition and foreclosure of a landlord's lien against GSP's and PEW's
assets for unpaid rents and other damages together with interest, costs and
attorney's fees.
Among its defenses to Mr. Personett's claims, the Company, GSP and PEW have
noted that Mr. Personett has continued to be in charge of the business
operations of those corporations notwithstanding their acquisition by the
Company and have asserted that any failure on the part of GSP and PEW to meet
their obligations for salaries and rents have been attributable to Mr.
Personett's mismanagement, neglect and/or malfeasance.
Notwithstanding that these lawsuits are being actively prosecuted and defended
by both sides, there is continuing communications between the parties in an
effort to achieve amicable resolutions.
In May 2000, the Company infused approximately $177,000 into GSP. The funds were
used to pay various vendors and to pay down the balances on a bank loan and
GSP's line of credit.
Note J - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has minimal assets, has
lacked working capital for the past several years, and is dependent upon
financing to continue operations. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management
is currently seeking adequate financing to continue operations of the Company
and its Subsidiaries.
Note K - Subsequent Events
On May 12, 2000, the Company assumed the lease of two golf stores at an airport
location. They also obtained the rights to open golf stores in other airports.
They also assumed the inventory line of credit not to exceed $150,000 in
exchange for the lease agreement and rights, Beverly Hills has agreed to
exchange one and one-half percent of the stock of Focus Media Limited. The
Company also agreed to issue 250,000 shares of restricted stock. The restriction
will be lifted at the rate of 62,500 shares for every three months the agreement
is in effect. The agreement may be terminated if the Company does not secure a
minimum of $2,500,000 in funding by July 31, 2000.
On May 12, 2000, the Company agreed to purchase logos to be used in connection
with merchandise sold at the golf stores discussed above. The Company has agreed
to exchange one and one-half percent ownership in Focus Media Limited. The
Company also agreed to issue 250,000 shares of restricted stock. The restriction
will be lifted at the rate of 62,500 shares for every three months the agreement
is in effect. The agreement may be terminated if the Company does not secure a
minimum of $2,500,000 in funding by July 31, 2000.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
GENERAL STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This report contains certain forward-looking statements, including,
among others:
o Our ability to execute our business strategies and generate
revenues from our Internet-based operations; and
o Our ability to finance future growth and possible acquisitions
through the issuance of shares of our common stock.
These forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions
and estimates that, while considered reasonable by us when taken as a whole, are
inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, and are
based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, many
of which will change. It can be anticipated that some or all of the assumptions
underlying the projections and forward-looking statements included herein will
not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, it
can be expected that actual results will vary from the projections and that such
variations, in all likelihood, will be material and are likely to increase over
time.
In addition to the other risks described elsewhere in this Risk Factors
discussion, important factors to consider and evaluate in such forward-looking
statements include:
o changes in the external competitive market factors or in our
internal budgeting process which might impact our results of
operations;
o unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; and
o changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute
our strategy due to unanticipated changes in our targeted
market.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described
in greater detail elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" discussion, we cannot give
assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this report will in
fact transpire.
OVERVIEW
Revenues for the first quarter of 2000 were approximately $530,000 compared to
$277,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase in revenues was is due to the
acquisition, in the first quarter of 1999, of three golf related entities: Golf
Shoes Plus, Pro's Edge Wholesale and Global Golf.Com. Revenues for the first
quarter 2000 reflect three full months of operating results versus two months in
1999 for Golf Shoes Plus and Pro's Edge Wholesale and no operating results
reported for Global Golf as it wasn't acquired until the end of March, 1999.
With these acquisitions Beverly Hills Ltd., Inc. is moving from a developmental
company to an internet
18
<PAGE>
holding company whereby the bulk of products sold by Golf Shoes Plus and Pro's
Edge will be sold through Global Golf. Com which is designed to become a
comprehensive internet golf portal.
Cost of sales for the first quarter of 2000 was approximately $345,000 compared
to $147,000 for the same period of 1999. Cost of sales consists of cost of hard
goods sold through Golf Shoes Plus's retail outlets and the internet and through
Pro's Edge Wholesale's outlet. The results reflect three months of operations
for Golf Shoes Plus and Pro's Edge Wholesale in 2000 versus two months in 1999.
Advertising costs were approximately $385,000 for the first quarter 2000
compared to $107,000 for the same period of 1999. The increase is primarily
attributable to the launch of a radio and magazine advertising campaign intended
to build name recognition for the Beverly Hills and Global Golf names.
The increase in amortization and depreciation is primarily due to the
amortization of goodwill (approximately $206,600) generated by the acquisitions
completed during the first quarter of 1999. We expect amortization of goodwill
to increase as additional acquisitions are closed. Our policy is to amortize
goodwill over four years. The remaining increase (approximately $64,000)
represents the amortization of website development costs and the depreciation of
office equipment and store fixtures at the various locations.
Professional fees were approximately $1,113,000 (approximately $897,000 paid
with stock) for the first quarter of 2000 compared to $242,000 in first quarter
1999. The increase is attributable to legal and accounting fees incurred in
connection with the 1999 audit and related SEC filings and the Keynote
acquisition; and costs associated with raising additional working capital.
Approximately $100,000 of bad debt expense in the first quarter 2000 is due to
the establishment of a reserve against an amount due from "The Golfer" magazine.
Compensation expense for the first quarter of 2000 was approximately $670,000
(approximately $334,000 was through issuance of stock) compared to approximately
$582,000 (approximately $417,000 was through issuance of stock) for the first
quarter of 1999. The increase is attributable to three full months of operations
at Golf Shoes Plus, Pro's Edge Wholesale and Global Golf in the first quarter of
2000 versus two months of operations at Golf Shoes Plus and Pro's Edge Wholesale
in 1999 and no reported operations for Global Golf as it was acquired at the end
of March, 1999.
Interest expense increased approximately $61,000 as our notes payable issued
primarily for working capital increased significantly.
The remaining operating costs were approximately $198,000 in the first quarter
of 2000 compared to $78,000 for the first quarter of 1999. Costs included
herewith are: insurance, rent, travel & entertainment, utilities, and
miscellaneous other. The increase is mostly attributable to the operating
subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our auditors have raised the issue that there is substantial doubt that we will
be able to continue as a going concern as a result of significant losses and
negative working capital. A significant amount of capital has been expended
towards building corporate infrastructure and operating and capital expenditures
in connection with certain acquisitions and the establishment of our programs.
These expenditures have been incurred in advance of the realization of revenue
that may occur as a result of such programs. As a result our Liquidity and
capital resources have diminished significantly. Liquidity and capital resources
could improve within the short term by a combination of any one or more of the
following factors: (i) an increase in revenues and gross profit from operations;
and (ii) financing activities. An inability to generate cash from either of
these factors within the short term could adversely affect our operations and
plans for future growth. If these issues are not addressed, we may have to
materially reduce the size and scope of our planned operations.
Beverly Hills had a negative cash flow from operations of approximately
$484,000, and $1,152,000 for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The change is primarily due to the increase in accounts payable
and accrued expenses in the first quarter of 2000. The change in cash flow from
investing activities from approximately $321,000 in the first quarter of 1999 to
$38,000 in 2000 is due to the acquisition of subsidiaries for cash in 1999. Cash
flow generated by financing activities decreased from approximately $1,647,000
in 1999 to 534,000 in 2000. This was primarily because there were no issuances
of common stock in the first quarter of 2000. Substantial additional cash will
be required to implement our business plan.
Operations and working capital requirements have been met primarily through
issuance of the Company's equity securities and short and long term debt
instruments as well as vendor financing.
The Company has adopted a three-pronged financing plan:
Seek mergers, joint ventures or financing arrangements with larger
private or public entities in related industries.
Seek short and long term financing through private placements of debt
and equity securities in the capital markets.
Mount an aggressive campaign to acquire companies for cash, if
available, and otherwise for registered Beverly Hills common stock.
This will require substantial working capital to fund operating and
merger and acquisition expenses and to pay the significant cost of
compliance with applicable securities laws.
There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on
terms acceptable to Beverly Hills, if at all. Should the Company be unsuccessful
in its efforts to raise capital, it may be required to curtail operations.
