NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Operations and business risk factors:
Freeman Technologies Corporation (the "Company") was
incorporated on April 11, 2000 to seek, investigate and, if
such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in a business
entity which desires to seek the perceived advantages of a
corporation which has a class of securities registered under
the Securities Act of 1933. Generally, an issuer who has
registered securities under the Securities Act of 1933 becomes
subject to the periodic and annual reporting requirements of
the Securities Act of 1934 (and is often referred to as a
"reporting company"). The Company will not restrict its search
to any specific business industry or geographical location and
the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually
any kind or nature. Management anticipates that it will be
able to participate in only one potential business venture
because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial
resources. This lack of diversification should be considered a
substantial risk to the stockholders of the Company because it
will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from
one venture against gains from another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities
which have recently commenced operations, or that wish to
utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional
capital in order to expand into new products or markets,
develop a new product or service or for other corporate
purposes.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business
opportunity in which to participate will be complex and
extremely risky. Management believes (but has not conducted
any research to confirm) that there are business entities
seeking the perceived benefits of a company having a class of
securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Such
perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the
terms on which additional equity financing may be sought,
providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar
benefits to key employees, increasing the opportunity to use
securities for acquisitions, providing liquidity for
stockholders and other factors. Business opportunities may be
available in many different industries and at various stages
of development, all of which will make the task of comparative
investigation and analysis of such business opportunities
difficult and complex.
The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with
which to provide the owners of business entities with any cash
or other assets. However, management believes the Company will
be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the
opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a
reporting company without incurring the cost and time required
to conduct an initial public offering. Management has not
conducted market research and is not aware of statistical data
to support the perceived benefits of a business combination
for the owners of a target company.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 2 - Unaudited interim financial statements:
The Company had not conducted any commercial operations
through July 31, 2000 and, accordingly, it was in the
development stage as of that date. Management does not expect
the Company to generate any revenues until such time as an
acquisition of an operating company is consummated.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 31,
2000, and its results of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2000
and the related cumulative amounts for period from April 11,
2000 (date of inception) to July 31, 2000. Information
included in the condensed balance sheet as of April 30, 2000
has been derived from, and certain terms used herein are
defined in, the audited financial statements of the Company as
of April 30, 2000 and for the period from April 11, 2000 (date
of inception) to April 30, 2000, (the "Audited Financial
Statements") included in the Company's Registration on Form
10-SB (the "Form 10-SB") for the period ended April 30, 2000
that was previously filed with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted from these condensed financial
statements unless significant changes have taken place since
the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these
unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements and the
other information also included in the Form 10-SB.
Note 3 - Net earnings (loss) per share:
The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share and, if
appropriate, diluted earnings per share in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per common
share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common
share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share,
except that the denominator is increased to include the number
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding
if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those
issuable upon the exercise of stock options, were issued
during the period. Diluted per share amounts have not been
presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements
of operations because the Company did not have any potentially
dilutive common shares outstanding during the three months
ended July 31, 2000 and the period from April 11, 2000 (date
of inception) through July 31, 2000.

Note 4 - Related party transactions:
The Company has entered into an agreement with Capital
Advisory Partners, LLC ("CAP") pursuant to which CAP will
supervise the search for potential target companies for a
business combination. CAP owns 800,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. The agreement will continue until such time as
the Company has consummated a business combination. CAP has
agreed to pay all expenses of the Company without repayment
until such time as a business combination is consummated. In
the three months ended July 31, 2000, CAP incurred expenses on
behalf of the Company totaling $1,827 (it did not incur any
such expenses prior to that period) and, accordingly, the
Company recorded a charge to operations and a contribution to
capital in that amount.
CAP has entered into agreements, and anticipates that it will
enter into other agreements, with other consultants to assist
it in locating a potential target company and CAP may share
its stock in the Company with, or grant options on such stock
to, such referring consultants and may make payment to such
consultants from its own resources. There is no minimum or
maximum amount of stock, options or cash that CAP may grant or
pay to such consultants. CAP is solely responsible for the
costs and expenses of its activities in seeking a potential
target company, including any agreements with consultants, and
the Company has no obligation to pay any costs incurred or
negotiated by CAP.
CAP anticipates that it may seek to locate a target company
through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper
or magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions
to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial
advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more World
Wide Web sites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as
to the number of persons who may be contacted or solicited. As
of July 31, 2000, CAP had not made any solicitations and did
not anticipate that it would do so. CAP expects to rely on
consultants in the business and financial communities for
referrals of potential target companies.
Patricia A. Meding, who is the sole officer and director of
the Company, is the sole officer, director and controlling
stockholder of CAP.
Note 5 - Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset
and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets
and liabilities to be computed annually for temporary
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to
the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision
or credit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus
or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.

Note 5 - Income taxes (concluded):
As of July 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $1,800 available to reduce
future Federal taxable income which, if not used, will expire
in 2020. The Company had no other material temporary
differences as of that date. Due to the uncertainties related
to, among other things, the changes in the ownership of the
Company, which could subject those loss carryforwards to
substantial annual limitations, and the extent and timing of
its future taxable income, the Company offset the deferred tax
assets attributable to the potential benefits of approximately
$700 from the utilization of those net operating loss
carryforwards by an equivalent valuation allowance as of July
31, 2000.
As a result of the increase in the valuation allowance of $700
during the three months ended July 31, 2000, no credits for
income taxes are included in the accompanying condensed
statements of operations.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
OVERVIEW
Freeman Technologies Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on
April 11, 2000 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful
corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and
acquisitions. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception
and has no operations to date other than issuing shares to its original
shareholders.
The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity
for the combination of that target company with the Company. The combination
will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or
stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to
structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free
reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
The Company has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or
domestic private company to become a reporting ("public") company with a class
of registered securities. The proposed business activities described herein
classify the Company as a "blank check" company.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company is a blank check company whose plan of operation over the
next twelve months is to seek and, if possible, acquire an operating business or
valuable assets by entering into a business combination. The Company will not be
restricted in its search for business combination candidates to any particular
geographical area, industry or industry segment, and may enter into a
combination with a private business engaged in any line of business, including
service, finance, mining, manufacturing, real estate, oil and gas, distribution,
transportation, medical, communications, high technology, biotechnology or any
other. Management's discretion is, as a practical matter, unlimited in the
selection of a combination candidate. Management of the Company will seek
combination candidates in the United States and other countries, as available
time and resources permit, through existing associations and by word of mouth.
This plan of operation has been adopted in order to attempt to create value for
the Company's shareholders. For further information on the Company's plan of
operation and business, please consult the Company's registration statement on
Form 10SB-12G available on the EDGAR system of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The Company does not intend to do any product research or development.
The Company does not expect to buy or sell any real estate, plant or equipment
except as such a purchase might occur by way of a business combination that is
structured as an asset purchase, and no such asset purchase currently is
anticipated. Similarly, the Company does not expect to add additional
-10
<PAGE>
employees or any full-time employees except as a result of completing a business
combination, and any such employees likely will be persons already then employed
by the company acquired.
The Company has not engaged in any negotiations with any specific
entity regarding the possibility of a business combination with the Company. The
Company has entered into an agreement with Capital Advisory Partners, LLC, a
shareholder of the Company, to supervise the search for target companies as
potential candidates for a business combination. The agreement will continue
until such time as the Company has effected a business combination. Capital
Advisory Partners, LLC has agreed to pay all expenses of the Company without
repayment until such time as a business combination is effected. Patricia A.
Meding, who is the sole officer and director of the Company, is the sole officer
and director and controlling shareholder of Capital Advisory Partners, LLC.
Capital Advisory Partners, LLC may only locate potential target
companies for the Company and is not authorized to enter into any agreement with
a potential target company binding the Company. The Company's agreement with
Capital Advisory Partners, LLC is not exclusive and Capital Advisory Partners,
LLC has entered into agreements with other companies similar to the Company on
similar terms. Capital Advisory Partners, LLC may provide assistance to target
companies incident to and following a business combination, and receive payment
for such assistance from target companies.
Capital Advisory Partners, LLC anticipates that it may seek to locate a
target company through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper or
magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions to law firms,
accounting firms, investment bankers, financial advisors and similar persons,
the use of one or more World Wide Web sites and similar methods. No estimate can
be made as to the number of persons who may be contacted or solicited. To date
Capital Advisory Partners, LLC has not made any solicitations, does not
anticipate that it will do so, and expects to rely on referrals from consultants
in the business and financial communities for referrals of potential target
companies.
COMPETITION. The Company will be in direct competition with many
entities in its efforts to locate suitable business opportunities. Included in
the competition will be business development companies, venture capital
partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies, venture
capital affiliates of industrial and financial companies, broker- dealers and
investment bankers, management and management consultant firms and private
individual investors. Most of these entities will possess greater financial
resources and will be able to assume greater risks than those which the Company,
with its limited capital, could consider. Many of these competing entities will
also possess significantly greater experience and contacts than the Company's
Management. Moreover, the Company also will be competing with numerous other
blank check companies for such opportunities.
EMPLOYEES. The Company has no employees nor are there any other persons
other than Ms. Meding who devote any time to its affairs. It is not expected
that the Company will have employees except as a result of completing a
combination.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 1999 - During the first fiscal quarter ended July 31,
2000, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,827. This was due to general and
administrative expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its formation
and the filing of a registration statement on Form 10-SB. The Company paid no
rent or salaries and had no operations during the quarter.
-11
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had $400 cash on hand at the end of the quarter and had no
other assets to meet ongoing expenses or debts that may accumulate. Since
inception, the Company has accumulated a deficit (net loss) of $1,827.
The Company has no commitment for any capital expenditure and foresees
none. However, the Company will incur routine fees and expenses incident to its
reporting duties as a public company, and it will incur expenses in finding and
investigating possible acquisitions and other fees and expenses in the event it
makes an acquisition or attempts but is unable to complete an acquisition. The
Company's cash requirements for the next twelve months are relatively modest,
principally accounting expenses and other expenses relating to making filings
required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which
should not exceed $10,000 in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2001. Any travel,
lodging or other expenses which may arise related to finding, investigating and
attempting to complete a combination with one or more potential acquisitions
could also amount to thousands of dollars.
The Company will only be able to pay its future debts and meet
operating expenses by raising additional funds, acquiring a profitable company
or otherwise generating positive cash flow. As a practical matter, the Company
is unlikely to generate positive cash flow by any means other than acquiring a
company with such cash flow. Capital Advisory Partners, LLC has agreed to pay
all expenses of the Company without repayment until such times as a business
combination is effected. However, it is not certain that Capital Advisory
Partners, LLC will be financially able to do so. The Company has no intention of
borrowing money to reimburse or pay salaries to any officer, director or
shareholder of the Company or their affiliates. There currently are no plans to
sell additional securities of the Company to raise capital, although sales of
securities may be necessary to obtain needed funds. The Securities and Exchange
Commission and certain states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations
limiting the sale of securities of blank check companies. The Company does not
plan to issue or sell any shares or take any efforts to cause a market to
develop in the Company's securities until such time as the Company has
successfully implemented its business plan and it is no longer classified as a
blank check company.
Should Capital Advisory Partners, LLC or other shareholders refuse to
advance needed funds, however, the Company would be forced to turn to outside
parties to either loan money to the Company or buy the Company's securities.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise necessary funds
from outside sources. Such a lack of funds could result in severe consequences
to the Company, including among others:
(1) failure to make timely filings with the SEC as required by the
Exchange Act;
(2) curtailing or eliminating the Company's ability to locate and
perform suitable investigations of potential acquisitions; or
(3) inability to complete a desirable acquisition due to lack of funds
to pay legal and accounting fees and acquisition-related expenses.
The Company hopes to require potential candidate companies to deposit
funds with the Company that it can use to defray professional fees and travel,
lodging and other due diligence expenses incurred by the Company's management
related to finding and investigating a candidate company and negotiating and
consummating a business combination. There is no assurance that any potential
candidate will agree to make such a deposit.
