NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2000
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Gem International (USA), Inc. (hereinafter "the Company") was
incorporated on December 21, 1998 under the laws of the State of
Nevada for the purpose of wholesale distribution of jewelry and
gemstones. The Company commenced activity in April 1999. The
Company maintains offices in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada and
Blaine, Washington. The Company's fiscal year-end is December 31.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Gem International
(USA), Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
financial statements. The financial statements and notes are
representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for
their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform
to generally accepted accounting principles and have been
consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Development Stage Activities
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation in
December 1998 and has not yet realized any significant revenues from
its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in wholesale
distribution of jewelry and gemstones.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company
incurred a net loss of $38,863 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000, has an accumulated deficit of $87,950, and had
minimal sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its
ability to obtain financing and upon future successful and profitable
operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through

not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2000
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share was computed by dividing
the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period. The weighted average number of shares was
calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting
them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted loss
per share is the same as basic loss per share, as there were no
common stock equivalents outstanding.
Inventories
The Company had $6,677 in inventory as of September 30, 2000.
Inventory is purchased periodically for special orders and display
purposes only and is stated at the lower of cost (using specific
identification) or market.
The Company holds approximately $140,000 worth of inventory, valued
at cost, on consignment from a related party, Queensland Opal N.L.
(an Australian Corporation). See Note 7. This inventory remains the
property of Queensland Opal N.L., which is responsible for
maintaining insurance on the inventory, until the inventory is sold,
returned, lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes the net sale, gross proceeds less cost, at the
point when title transfers from consignor to purchaser.
Revenues from special orders, not on consignment, are recognized when
title transfers to purchaser.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of its statement of cash flows, the Company considers
money market accounts and all short-term debt securities purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Compensated Absences
The Company has no employees. At such time as the Company hires
personnel, its employees will be entitled to paid vacation, paid sick
days and personal days off depending on job classification, length of
service, and other factors. The Company's policy will be to
recognize the cost of compensated absences when actually paid to
employees.
Provision for Taxes
At September 30, 2000, the Company had an accumulated net operating
loss of approximately $85,000. No provision for taxes or tax benefit
has been reported in the financial statements, as there is not a
measurable means of assessing future profits or losses.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate
to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial
statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ
from estimated amounts.
Web Site Development
An outside consultant is planning and developing the Company's web
site to sell the Company's products in the future. The planning and
development costs incurred in this project, in the amount of $10,884
for the period from inception (December 21, 1998) through December
31, 1999, were expensed as incurred in accordance with SOP 98-1.
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted SOP 98-1 as amplified
by EITF 99-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." In
accordance with this early adoption, the Company will capitalize web
site development costs. At September 30, 2000, the Company has not
incurred any web site development costs.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 included herein have been prepared for the Company
without audit. They reflect all adjustments, which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of
operations for these periods. All such adjustments are normal
recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full fiscal year.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets."
In complying with this standard, the Company reviews its long-lived
assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in
circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value
of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines
impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated
to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts.
Asset values will be adjusted using the discounted future cash flows
expected to be received for the assets. The Company does not believe
any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at
September 30, 2000.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable,
accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their fair value
Translation of Foreign Currency
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 52.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into United States dollars at rates of exchange in effect
at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities and
items recorded in the income statement arising from transactions
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange
in effect at the date of the transaction. Gains or losses are
included in income for the year. For the nine months ended September
30, 2000, the Company had a $7 transaction gain, which was included
in office expense given the immaterial amount.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform
with the current period presentation. This reclassification has
resulted in no changes to the Company's accumulated deficit or net
losses presented.
Derivative Instruments
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at
fair value.
At September 30, 2000, the Company has not engaged in any
transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or
hedging activities.
NOTE 3 - PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
The cost of property, plant, and equipment is depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is
computed using the declining balance method as follows and amounted
to $2,512 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000:
Computer Equipment 30% declining balance
Office Furniture and Equipment 20% declining balance
For income tax purposes, the statutory depreciation methods are used.
NOTE 4 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK FOR CASH HELD AT BANKS
The Company maintains cash balances at a bank in British Columbia,
Canada. The Canadian dollar account is insured up to a maximum of
$60,000 per account. However, the United States dollar account is
not insured.

uncollateralized note, which had no stated interest rate. However,

transaction resulted in additional paid-in capital of $1,649 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTIES
The Company holds inventory on consignment from a stockholder,
Queensland Opal N.L., an Australian corporation, (hereinafter

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The statements included in this registration statement regarding
future financial performance and results and die other statements
that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The
words "expect. It "project," "estimate, " "predict," "anticipate,"
"believes," "intends" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward- looking statements. Such statements are based upon
current expectations of Gem and involve a number of risks and
uncertainties and should not be considered as guarantees of future
performance. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward looking statements.
Gem has inadequate cash to maintain operations during the next
twelve months and must raise additional cash in order to Complete its
website. In order to meet its cash requirements, Gem will have to
raise additional capital through the sale of securities or loans, As
of the date hereof, Gem has not made sales of additional securities
and there is no assurance that it will be able to raise additional
capital through, the sale of securities in the future. 'Further, Gem
has not initiated any negotiations for loans to Gem and there is no
assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital in the
future through loans. In the event that Gem is unable to raise
additional capital, it may have to suspend or cease operations.
Gem does not intend to conduct any research or development of its
services during the next twelve months other than the development of
its web-site as described herein. See "Business." Gem does not intend
to purchase a plant or significant equipment.
Gem will hire employees on an as needed basis, however, Gem does
not expect any significant changes in the number of employees.
Gem expects to earn additional revenues in the fourth quarter of
2000. There is no assurance, however, that Gem will earn said
revenues as planned.
Results of Operations
Gem has had limited operations to date and its activities have
consisted primarily of raising equity capital. Accordingly, Gem is
considered to be a development stage enterprise as defined in SFAS 7.
Operations to date have been funded by the sale of common stock along
with related party debt. Future operations during The development
stage will be funded by a combination of common stock sales and long
term debt.
Gem will be primarily engaged in operating as a wholesale
distributor of jewels and gemstones. The Company is planning to
utilize the Internet for electronic commerce and is currently
developing an Internet web-site for that purpose.
As of the date hereof, the web-site has been designed and the front
page completed. The portion of the web-site which consists of images
and descriptions is approximately 30% completed, The balance of the
web-site which consists of payment technology, inventory purchases,
shipping and inventory control has yet to be completed.
<PAGE> 15
During the quarter ended September 30,2000, the Company bad
revenue of $17,200 bringing total revenue from sales to $36, 100 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, while the act loss amounted
to $87,950 from inception to September 30, 2000.
Gem anticipates minimal revenues from operations continuing
until its web-site and infrastructure is fully developed. When Gem is
fully operational, it expects the majority of revenues to come from
wholesale customers.
Given the current accumulated net losses and the anticipated
future losses, them can be no assurance that Gem will achieve
profitability or that if profitability is achieved, it will be
sustained. Gem believes that its success will depend in large part on
its ability to expand its operations into electronic commerce,
encourage customer loyalty, and capitalize on the market for jewelry
and precious stones, Accordingly, Gem intends to invest heavily in
marketing and promotion, its direct sales and systems and
infrastructure development. There can be no assurance that such
expenditures will result in increased revenues or customer growth.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Gem had minimal working capital at September 30, 2000. Gem's
ability to conduct operations depends upon Management's success in
obtaining additional sources of financing primarily through
additional offerings, bank loans, joint ventures, or other
arrangements.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant impact on Gem's operations
to date.
Web-site
Revenues generated from the web-site for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 totaled $-0-. Ibis was
because the web-site had yet to generate revenues.
There was no operating expenses relating to the web-site for the
nine months ending September 30, 2000 and 1999.
