ASP VENTURES CORP.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
================================================================================
1. GOING CONCERN
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on
March 23, 1989, as Air Support Services, Corp. On May 15, 1998, the
company changed its name to ASP Ventures Corp.
Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $500,335
and has a working capital deficiency of $107,335. These financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes that
the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the
normal course of business. Realization values may be substantially
different from carrying values as shown in these financial statements
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to meet its obligations and maintain its operations
is contingent upon several factors, including profitable operations,
successful completion of additional financing arrangements, the
continuing support of its creditors and/or the completion of a business
combination with a company which would assist in obtaining necessary
financing.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles which in respect of these
financial statements do not differ materially from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
(a) Earnings (loss) per common share
The earnings (loss) per common share is calculated based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share has not been presented as the effect of
common shares issuable on the exercise of options is
anti-dilutive.
(b) 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 at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits in
banks and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
ninety days or less.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
(a) PLAN OF OPERATION. ASP's plan of operation is to explore the
acquisition of viable operating companies. We anticipate that ASP can satisfy
its current cash requirements for a period of 6-8 months and do not anticipate
that we will have to raise additional funds in the next 2 months. If ASP
requires additional capital in order to acquire an operating company, we plan to
raise such additional funds through a private placement of common stock. We
will satisfy legal and accounting costs associated with filing reports under
the Exchange Act through ASP's cash reserves.
(b) FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT OPERATING RESULTS
Forward Looking Statements. This Registration Statement on Form 10-SB
contains forward-looking statements. Additional written and oral forward-looking
statements may be made by ASP from time to time in SEC filings and otherwise.
Results predicted by forward-looking statements, including, without limitation,
those relating to our future business prospects, revenues, working capital,
liquidity, capital needs, interest costs, and income are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, due to the following
factors, among other risks and factors identified from time to time in ASP's
filings with the SEC.
ASP Will Need Additional Capital in the Future. We anticipate that ASP
can satisfy its current cash requirements for a period of 6-8 months. However,
the actual amounts and timing of ASP's future capital requirements may vary
significantly from management's estimates. ASP intends to evaluate strategic
alliances and acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis as they may arise
and ASP may require additional financing if management elects to pursue any such
opportunities. Such additional financing may not be available on acceptable
terms or at all. A lack of financing may require ASP to delay or abandon plans
for entering into such strategic alliances or acquisition opportunities.
ASP Has a History of Losses and Cannot Be Certain to Achieve Positive
Cash Flow. For the three month period ended March 31, 1999 ASP had a net loss
of $27,429. ASP had a net loss of $52,469 for the same period in 2000. ASP
presently has no revenue producing operations.
Even if ASP acquires an operating entity, it cannot be certain that it
will achieve or sustain positive cash flow or profitability from its operations.
ASP's net losses and negative cash flow are likely to continue even longer than
management currently anticipates if ASP does not acquire a viable operating
entity and if it does not attract and retain qualified personnel. ASP's ability
to achieve its objectives is subject to financial, competitive, regulatory,
legal, technical and other factors, many of which are beyond ASP's control.
ASP Is Subject to Risks As It Makes Acquisitions and Engages in
Strategic Alliances. As part of its business strategy, ASP intends to acquire,
make investments in, or enter into strategic alliances with as yet unidentified
operating companies. Any such future acquisitions, investments and/or strategic
alliances would involve risks, such as:
- - incorrect assessment of the value, strengths and weaknesses of acquisition
and investment opportunities;
- - underestimating the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel
of newly acquired companies;
- - the potential disruption of any ongoing business, including possible
diversions of resources and management time; and
- - the threat of impairing relationships with employees and customers as a
result of changes in management or ownership.
ASP cannot assure you that it will be successful in overcoming these
risks. Moreover, ASP cannot be certain that any desired acquisition, investment
and/or strategic alliance could be made in a timely manner or on terms and
conditions acceptable to ASP. Neither can ASP assure you that ASP will be
successful in identifying attractive acquisition candidates. We expect that
competition for such acquisitions may be significant. ASP may compete with
others who have similar acquisition strategies, many of whom may be larger and
have greater financial and other resources than ASP.
An additional risk associated with acquisitions is that many attractive
acquisition candidates do not have audited financial statements and have varying
degrees of internal controls. Although ASP may believe that the available
financial information for a particular business is reliable, it cannot guarantee
that a subsequent audit would not reveal matters of significance, including with
respect to liabilities, contingent or otherwise. ASP's management expects that,
from time to time in the future, ASP will enter into acquisition agreements, the
pro forma effect of which is not known and cannot be predicted.
ASP Does Not Expect to Pay Dividends. ASP does not anticipate paying
cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
