General Description and Development of Business

On July 21, 1998, Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Registrant"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado, under the name of Newslink Networks TDS, Inc.

The Registrant was incorporated for the business of providing news services on an international basis to paying clients. No business was undertaken by the Registrant and management determined to seek other business opportunities.

On December 4, 1998 after a review of opportunities available due to the privatization of ATMs and "point-of-sale" electronic transfer transaction processing, the Registrant entered into an option agreement with 3 Ocean Investment Corporation, a Belize corporation, to acquire a minority interest in Vencash Capital Corporation, an Alberta Corporation ("Vencash Capital"). The option agreement called for the exchange by the Registrant of a total of 4,800,000 shares of its common stock for 8 shares of the is

On December 7, 1998, the Registrant executed a share exchange agreement with MacDonald Venture Corporation, Mr. Joseph Bowser and Mr. Robert L. Robins to exchange a total of 4,800,000 common shares of the Registrant for 33 capital shares of Vencash Capital, which related to 33% of the capital shares of Vencash Capital. The share exchange included the assignment of a promissory note in the amount of $3,480 ($6,000 CDN). The exchange of shares contemplated by this agreement was completed on December 12, 19

On December 17, 1999, the Registrant acquired the remaining fifty-nine percent (59%) of Vencash Capital from various arms-length shareholders of Vencash Capital by way of a share exchange whereby the Registrant issued a total of 1,770,000 common shares in exchange for 59 shares of the common stock of Vencash Capital.

Vencash Capital Corporation was incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada on October 2, 1996 as 711635 Alberta Ltd. On June 3, 1998, 711635 Alberta Ltd filed with the Registrar of Company's a certificate of amendment, 711635 Alberta Ltd. whereby it changed its name to Vencash Capital Corporation. On September 23, 1998, Vencash Capital incorporated a subsidiary a Vencash Financial Corporation ("Vencash Financial") as a federal corporation under the laws of Canada. In July 1998 Ve

On April 23, 1999 the Company changed its name to "Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc."

On May 18, 1999, the Registrant formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. to lease ATMs to Vencash Capital customers. (See "-Business of Westsphere Financial Group Ltd.. ("Westsphere Financial") below.)

/B>

On May 16, 2000, the Registrant incorporated VC/POS/ATM Services Inc. ("Services") under the laws of the Province of Alberta for the purpose of providing servicing for ATM machines and sales and servicing for the POS (point of sale) market. At this time, Services has no active business. (See "-Business of VC/POS/ATM Services Inc". below.)

On May 16, 2000, the Registrant incorporated 880487 Alberta Ltd. ("880487") under the laws of the Province of Alberta. At the present time, 880487 has no active business. (See "-Business of 880487 Alberta Ltd." below.)

On August 1, 2000, the Registrant acquired a 5% interest in E Debit International Inc. for $1,350 cash ($2,000.CDN). E Debit International Inc. a provider of pre-paid debit cards. (See "-Business of E Debit International Inc." below .)

The Registrant's Business

.
)

The Registrant provides financial services and packages to its subsidiaries and also conducts or intends to conduct its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vencash Capital, Westsphere Financial, Services and 880487, and through its 10% owned subsidiary, Kan-Can and through its 5% owned subsidiary E Debit. (See "-General Description and Development of Business".)

 

a. Business of Vencash Capital Corporation

Vencash Capital Corporation has a contracted switching service allowing Vencash Capital to participate within the Canadian INTERAC system as a Channel. Vencash also contracts with Triton Systems, Inc. who supplies ATM equipment. (See "Other Requested Information - TNS Smart Network Inc. contract - TCS (Canada) Limited Contract - Triton Systems, Inc. contract").

1. ATM/ABM Business in Canada

(a) Background of the ATM/ABM Business

In the latter part of 1997 something revolutionary quietly took place within the Canadian Banking and Financial sectors of Canadian industry. In the financial industry, events evolve slowly. This is especially true in the release of proprietary control involving banking institutions. Canadian financial institutions have been on the cutting edge of new technology particularly in regard to online computer banking. Advances originating from the introduction of credit card services evolved to the installation of commercial point of sale management systems across the country and the development of the Canadian INTERAC system. Full online banking services now allow 24-hour customer banking availability which was a major expansion from the original banking concepts. This also provided for full bank service availability from remote site locations throughout Canada.

Slowly evolving online financial technology being pursued by the institutional financial sectors has been confronted by the explosive growth of computer-based commerce. The internet and the huge expansion of computer generated online commerce has shifted a significant amount of consumer financial services from conventional banking and financial institutions to non traditional and new and innovative virtual based methods of doing financial business. Indeed, technological advances have been one of the primary reasons for the explosive and dynamic profits being produced by Canadian conventional financial institutions in the past five years.

In late 1997 non-conventional banking participation and private ownership of automated banking/teller machines (ABMs/ATMs) was authorized allowing for participation within the Canadian INTERAC system. The implications of private ownership and participation within this technologically based commerce have been significant.

Many Canadian companies pursued participation in the burgeoning field of marketing, distribution, selling, and leasing cash dispensing equipment recognized in the market place as ATMs, ABMs, white label machines or cash vending machines for private ownership.

A "switch" is a computer system that receives requests for financial transactions from ATM terminals, "point-of-sale" or electronic transfer terminals in retail businesses, and routes those transaction requests to and from ATM devices and financial institutions for final transaction processing and/or authorization. In Canada the Canadian INTERAC network coordinates this activity. Under recent deregulation, non-financial institutions who as members of INTERAC, are allowed to be an indirect connector. They provide switching services for shared cash dispensing, data processing, and other associated services in connection with the network, switches, gateways and operation of electronic data capture equipment including automated banking/teller machines. Pursuant to the rules and regulations set out by INTERAC and current switch technology, a switch can process up to 10,000 transactions at any given time.

2. The Entry of Vencash into the ATM/ABM Business

Vencash Capital identified the opportunities brought about by the privatization of the ATM/ABM business. During December 1997, the first privately owned ATMs were placed in Western Canada. In July 1998, Vencash Capital entered the "white label" ATM/ABM market place. Vencash contracted with TNS Smart Network Inc. of Etobicoke, Ontario, a company providing switching services to the industry and became the seventh (7th) Canadian Channel authorized to participate within the Canadian INTERAC system. By March 1999, Vencash Capital had placed and held under its management 90 ATMs across Canada, most notably in the Provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. Of the ATM's, 10 units are owned by Vencash Capital Corporation, 52 units are site owned and 28 units are investor owned. The Registrant reached an agreement with Vencash Capital to fund by way of lease and loan agreements the expansion of Vencash's placement of ATMs. By the year-end of 1999, through Westsphere's financial assistance, Vencash expanded management and ownership from 90 units to a total of 102 ATMs across Canada, increasing its network to the Maritime provinces by establishing two new distributorships, one in Prince Edward Island and one in New Brunswick.

At present, Vencash Capital acts as a "Channel" which contracts in financial electronic transfer responsibilities with a "Switch" (TNS Smart Network Inc. ). Vencash Capital intends to expand its existing ATM business with a view to grow its ATM terminal placement network to the point of developing Vencash Capital into a self sufficient "Switch" associated directly with the Canadian INTERAC network. The opportunities for the Registrant to become a switch are of foremost importance to management and they have given this project the highest priority.

3. Current Stage of Corporate Development

It is the opinion of the Registrant's management that the acquisition of Vencash has brought a very significant opportunity to the fore with positive returns having been achieved in a very short period. The Registrant will focus on supplying the required funding for the growth of its leasing of equipment to Vencash customers through its wholly owned subsidiary Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. (See - Business of Westsphere Financial Group Ltd.) to allow for the growth of the Vencash distribution network.

4. Growth Strategy & Market Niche

Vencash management's plan is to capture immediate dramatic growth within the ATM/ABM market place in five ways:

a. The purchase and placement of three hundred ATM units over the next fifteen (15) months to be staged in quarterly

b. Work with Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. in order to obtain the financing for further site placement by having Westsphere Financial provide the funding for leasing and purchase contracts which will allow the Company to meet its goals to place units and to capture the front end revenues.

c. Move to become a non-financial institutional member of INTERAC and an indirect connector. This will allow Vencash to provide switching services for shared cash dispensing, data processing and other associated services in connection with the network, switches, gateways and operation of electronic data capture equipment, including but not limited to ATMs/ABMs and "point of sales" terminals

d. To grow the regional distribution network

e. To source potential merger candidates, strategic alliances and joint venture partners in like businesses in the industry.

5. The Market for ATM's

- 60% of Americans between the ages of 25-34 and 51% between the ages of 35-49 use ATMs at least 8 times a month.

- indoor freestanding ATMs are most widely used

- the average amount of money withdrawn from an ATM is $60.00, with $20.00 being the most common.

- by the year 2000, approximately 158,000 ATMs will be installed in the US and 937,000 worldwide

- 40% of users visit an ATM 10 times a month

- 60% of Americans earning over $40,000 a year use ATMs

- 24 hour access is the #1 reason for ATM use

- Friday is the most popular day for ATMs

- An ATM customer will spend 20-25% more than a non-ATM customer.

 

6. Competitors

(a) Direct Cash - is one of Canada's largest ATM companies with approximately 900 machines in operation. They have offices and distribution centers in all of the major cities across Canada. Direct cash sells and services Triton, Cross and NCR equipment.

(b) Frisco Bay - a large ATM corporation with cross business in supplying security systems to private residences and corporations. They have approximately 900 to 1000 machines in service. They sell and service Triton, DiBold, and NCR equipment.

(c) Laser Cash - is another large operator with approximately 600 machines in service. This company also has distribution across Canada with head office in Mississauga, Ontario. The majority of their market is in Eastern Canada. They primarily sell the Triton line of equipment.

(d) Cash N Go - this is a very aggressive smaller company based in Edmonton, Alberta. They have recently purchased a mini-switch and are in the process of acquiring smaller companies to use their switch. Cash N Go has about 300 machines in operation at this time. They primarily sell the Triton equipment line.

(e) Cash Station - A Calgary based company with approximately 110 machines in service across Western Canada. They sell Triton and Cross equipment.

(f) Meta 4 - a long time Canadian Company with security and cash vending equipment. They have approximately 1000 machines in operation and sell primarily DiBold ATMs.

(g) Express Cash - Vancouver based company selling Triton machines. They have approximately 200 to 250 machines in service in Western Canada.

(h) Canadian ABM - Toronto based company that primarily sells NCR equipment. Approximately 150 machines in service.

(i) Ready Cash - this Company is owned by one of Canada's primary banks, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. They are placing "white label" machines in many locations in Eastern Canada. At present it is unknown how many machines they have in service. They use Triton, Cross and NCR equipment.

7. Competitive Advantages

While there are a number of competitors in the business, many of whom have substantially more equipment in the market than Vencash, the management of Vencash expects to make a rapid move to expand the business operations of Vencash by the sourcing of acquisitions in not only the ATM industry but also in the " point of sale " industry.

At present operating throughout Canada there are approximately 5,500 to 6,000 privately owned and managed ATM's outside of the Canadian banking infrastructure. Management has estimated the potential market for ATM placement in Canada to be approximately 15,000 units in 12,000 site locations. This observation is supported by the ATM Industry Association findings.

Successful new participants in this market have demonstrated that customers will switch in response to better quality in relation to price and a more responsive and dependable customer service. Vencash is an exclusive distributor of Triton Systems Inc.'s equipment which allows for significant pricing advantages. An aggressive marketing and distribution network development is currently underway with expansion planned in Vencash established areas of influence as well as expansion outside of those areas.

Management intends to invest in market research and product development to improve continually products and follow-on products. Follow-on will be introduced into developed markets before existing products enter the declining stage of their life cycles.

Management believes that information, knowledge and service are the most valuable assets our employees, agents, distributors and their customer base can be given. Service and information dissemination will remain the priority for the management team, every employee, distributor and strategic partner. Information processing and communications systems will integrate all components of our internal and external operations.

Groups consisting of management, staff, strategic partners will meet regularly to review operations and discuss ways to improve the quality of current products and services, develop new products and services and streamline delivery processes, control costs, improve relationships with suppliers, distributors, dealers and above all customers. It is management's belief that the Registrant's information- integrated operations will result in the following benefits to the Company:

  1. Independent decision-making with minimum supervision
  2. Highly involved and motivated people with minimum staff turnover
  3. Maximum productivity and cost efficiency
  4. Maximum inventory and receivables turnovers and positive cash flow
  5. "Premium" product quality
  6. Total customer satisfaction

incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada ("Westsphere Financial"), as a wholly owned subsidiary to provide lease financing for ATM machines to Vencash Capital and to provide lease financing to independent equipment purchasers who may or may not be contracted with Vencash Capital. Since incorporation, Westsphere Financial has entered into two leases with independent ATM lessees and two in-house finance contracts with independent ATM owners. Presently Westsphere Financial has no further capital resources available to carry on its intended business, however, it could seek funds from the Registrant, other financial institutions or equity investors should leasing opportunities become available. Westsphere Financial is presently negotiating for a line of credit with a financial institution which would allow for substantial expansion of its business operations.

 

c. Business of Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. (Kan-Can)

Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. ("Kan-Can") was incorporation under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act in the Province of Alberta on June 28, 1988. Kan-Can acquired a 332 acre Province of Alberta, Canada recreational land lease. The annual cost of the lease is $5,300 approximately. The term of the lease expires on October 31, 2004. Kan-Can sublet the 332 acres to Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. ("Alpine") for an annual fee of $32,000 plus property taxes. The sublease expired on the same date as the head lease held by Kan-Can.

Alpine was created as a limited partnership with Kan-Can appointed as the General Partner and owning 74% of Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. ("Alpine"). Alpine constructed and operated a time share resort on the leased land. Alpine was petitioned into bankruptcy, April, 2000. See- Legal Proceedings

d. Business of VC/POS/ATM Services Inc.

f. Business of E Debit International Inc.

E-DEBIT INTERNATIONAL INC (EDI) was founded in 1999 to meet the payment system needs of current and potential online shoppers.

EDI has made significant progress in this regard and is currently preparing to market a revolutionary new payment system that will greatly benefit consumers and merchants alike.

The E-DEBIT card allows consumers to access EDI's revolutionary, patent protected online payment system. This payment system utilizes existing electronic funds transfer protocols, allowing consumers to shop online without a credit card. The E-DEBIT card, like cash, is denominational; it is available in fixed dollar values (ranging from $20 to $500). As a further similarity to cash, the E-DEBIT card allows for complete anonymity. When a consumer makes an online purchase using an E-DEBIT card, no information is given to the merchant during thee course of the purchase unless; it is actively given by the consumer. Customers will be able to purchase E-DEBIT cards at E-DEBIT Internet kiosks and at selected retail locations worldwide.

Other Requested Information

(1)-(2) Distribution methods; Status of publicly announced products. Vencash Capital presently has seven (7) distributors of its equipment, products and services, under license across Canada and five (5) contracted sales persons in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Vencash Capital is one of ten nation-wide companies involved in the private ATM/ABM market in Canada. The expansion of the present operation of Vencash Capital will allow for vertical integration of other opportunities for the Registrant to supply financial services and packages, which can be marketed in conjunction with the ATM placement network

(3) Competitive Conditions. The white label ATM business is highly competitive. The Registrant faces competition from large numbers of companies engaged in the selling and servicing of ATM products in all areas in which it may attempt to operate in the future. Many of the programs and companies so engaged possess greater financial and personnel resources than the Registrant and therefore have greater leverage to use in developing technologies, establishing plants and markets, acquiring prospects, hiring personnel and marketing. Accordingly, a high degree of competition in these areas is expected to continue. The major banks could aggressively enter the "white label" market and the Registrant could not overcome or compete with them due to their financial and corporate strength.

(4) Sources of raw materials and names of technologies - None.

(5) Dependence on one or a few customers - None. The Registrant has a large number of customers and a large geographical area in which to market its products.

(6) Patents - None.

(7)-(8) Need for Governmental Approval; Government Regulations - There are no specific governmental laws, rules or regulations that are applicable to the Registrants' operations or those of its subsidiaries. The Registrant is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to channels as forth by the INTERAC network system.

(9) Registrant Sponsored Research and Development - None.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

At present, the Registrant earns its income through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Vencash Capital Corporation and Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. Management is of the opinion that they will have sufficient funds from the operations of these two subsidiaries to continue operations.

During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Registrant raised $100 by way of a Regulation S private placement of 1,000 shares at $0.10 per share and issued a total of 4,800,000 shares of common stock at a deemed value of $0.002 per share ($9,600.00) and 4,800,000 shares of common stock at a deemed value of $0.02 per share ($96,000.00) subject to the terms of share exchange agreements between the Registrant and certain of the shareholders of Vencash Capital Corporation, whereby the Registrant acquired 41% of the issued and outstanding shares of Vencash Capital Corporation, a Company in the business of selling and installing cash vending machines throughout Canada.

All or a part of the principal sum owing under this debenture may be converted into units of the Registrant at and for a deemed price of $0.20 per unit in the first year, $0.30 per unit in the second year and $0.75 per unit in the third and final year.

All or a part of the principal sum owing under this debenture may be converted into units of the Registrant at and for a deemed price of $0.20 per unit in the first year, $0.30 per unit in the second year and $0.75 per unit in the third and final year. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one three (3) year non-transferable, detachable share purchase warrant entitling the debenture holder to acquire one additional common share in the Company at the exercise price of $0.30 per share up to twelve months from date of conversion and at an exercise price of $0.75 per share up to twenty-four months from date of conversion and at an exercise price of $1.00 per share up to thirty-six months from date of conversion.

The Registrant raised $84,459 by way of a 90 day term loan bearing interest at the rate of 32% per annum, payable quarterly. As at the date of the filing of this Registration Statement the loan was due and payable and no arrangements had been made for extension but the note holder has not called for payment of the note. During the period of operations ended March 31, 2000, the Registrants had gross profits $183,842, the majority of which was derived from surcharges and sales of ATM machines. The Registrant also expended a total of $189,400 in general and administrative costs to the period ended March 31, 2000. The majority of the administrative costs were paid to salaries and benefits, switch fees, travel and vehicle expenses.

Cash Flows

The Registrant generated no revenue for the period of operation ended December 31, 1998 due to the acquisition of the subsidiary at the end of the year. During the period of operations ended December 31, 1999, the Registrant and its subsidiaries generated a net loss of $29,747. Since the Registrant did not acquire a controlling interest in Vencash Capital Corporation until December 17, 1999 no profit or loss is accounted for Vencash's operations in the Registrant's December 31, 1999 financial statements. The Registrant and it's subsidiaries generated a net profit of $7,406 for the six (6) month period ended June 30, 2000. Therefore, the Registrant and its subsidiaries are dependent upon private placements, loans and/or joint venture arrangements, to fund future operations until it develops sufficient revenue from its assets. Current budgets project a substantial increase in profits for the final quarter of the year 2000. This profit is expected to be generated by the surcharges collected from ATM machines and the sale of ATM machines.

If such profits are not generated and cash flows are not sufficient to fund ongoing operations and the Registrant is not successful in sourcing funding by way of private placements, loans or joint venture agreements, the Registrant will not be able to meet its objectives and may be forced to sell assets.

Changes in Financial Position

During 1998, the Registrant issued stock in exchange for 41% of Vencash Capital Corporation. The Registrant issued a total of 9,600,000 shares in two blocks of 4,800,000 shares at deem values of $0.002 per share and $0.02 per share respectively ($105,600). At the year ended December 31, 1998 liabilities total $1,987 and consisted of outstanding accounts due to consulting fees.

Liquidity

The Registrant expects that its need for liquidity will increase in 1999 and 2000 and 2001 in anticipation of expending funds to develop its growth plan.

Short Term

On a short term basis, the Registrant's subsidiary Vencash Capital is expected to generate sufficient revenues to meet overhead needs. In order to meet its growth plan, the Registrant will continue to be dependent on equity funds raised, joint venture arrangements and/or loan proceeds. The Registrant believes that it could continue as a going concern with the present revenues from its subsidiary Vencash Capital Corporation but it would be unable to meet its market growth projections without further funding outside of the ongoing revenue from operations of Vencash.

The Registrant's current liabilities of $269,864 exceed its current assets of $228,506 as at the year ended December 31, 1999 by $41,358. The Registrant's current liabilities of $305,668, exceeded current assets of $238,801 as of June 30, 2000 by $66,867 .

Long Term

As mentioned above the Registrant believes that it's subsidiary Vencash Capital generates sufficient ongoing revenue to ensure that the Registrant is a going concern. It is anticipated that operations will have substantial increases in net cash flow at the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. The Registrant will remain reliant on the successful development and marketing of the products related to its business for possibility of future income.

Capital Resources

The primary capital resources of the Registrant is the operations of Vencash Capital, its wholly owned subsidiary. The secondary capital resource will be its stock which may be illiquid because of resale restrictions and/or as a result of its inability to sustain the growth of its market and the risk of takeover by competitors. As of the date of this filing, the Registrant and its subsidiaries has material commitments within the next year of approximately $2 million and will be required to raise funds by either loans, joint ventures or equity financing in order to meet these commitments.

ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The Registrant is presently authorized to issue fifty million (50,000,000) shares of its par value common shares in such classes as the Board may determine. As of the effective date of this Registration Statement, Twelve Million, Five Hundred Seventy Three Thousand, and Thirty Six (12,573,036) shares of common stock are issued and outstanding.

Common Shares

All shares are fully paid and non-assessable. All shares are equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, and dividend rights. Special shareholders' meetings may be called by the officers or directors or upon the request of holders of at least one-tenth (1/10th) of the outstanding shares. Holders of shares are entitled to one vote at any shareholders' meeting for each share they own as of the record date fixed by the board of directors. There is no quorum requirement for shareholders' meetings. Therefore, a vote of the majority of the shares represented at a meeting will govern even if this is substantially less than a majority of the shares outstanding. Holders of shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore, and upon liquidation are entitled to participate pro rata in a distribution of assets available for such a distribution to shareholders. There are no conversion, pre-emptive or other subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares. Reference is made to the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and its By-Laws as well as to the applicable statutes of the State of Colorado for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of shares. It should be noted that the By-Laws may be amended by the board of directors without notice to the shareholders. The shares of the Registrant do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of directors may elect all the directors if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of directors may not elect all the directors if they choose to do so. In each event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than fifty percent (50%) will not be able to elect directors.

ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In June 1999, the Registrant purchased a non-dilutable 10% interest in Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. owns a Province of Alberta, Canada head lease for leases at Pigeon Mountain in the Province of Alberta, Canada and sublet the right of use for these leases to Alpine Resort Haven Ltd., a time share resort company.

During November, 1999 the shareholders of Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. initiated legal action against Alpine Resorts Haven Ltd. for non-payment of lease fees. Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. was successful in its legal action and received a judgment in the amount of $500,000 ($740,000 CDN) and Alpine Resorts Haven Ltd. was given a notice to vacate by the courts.

During April 2000, Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. detailed a restructuring plan for Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. and presented it to the time share owners. During April, 2000 three individual time share owners brought an application before the courts to stay the court decisions of November, 1999 and to petition Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. into bankruptcy. The courts ruled favorably on this application and the stay was granted and Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. was petitioned into bankruptcy.

Kan-Can is not a party to the bankruptcy proceeding and has been granted a secured creditor position, which has been stayed by the bankruptcy proceeding. Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. has mounted a defense against the stay of proceedings.

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Model Business Corporation Act of the State of Colorado ("CMBCA") provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.

The CMBCA provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against any expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

The CMBCA provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the law.

The Company's Articles of Incorporation (incorporated by reference herein) provides for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons as follows:

The Corporation shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, any director, officer, agent, fiduciary or employee of the Corporation against any claim, liability or expense arising against or incurred by such person as a result of actions reasonably taken by him at the direction of the Corporation. The Corporation shall further have the authority to the full extent permitted by law to indemnify its directors, officers, agents, fiduciaries and employees against any claim, liability or expense arising against or incurred by them in all other circumstances and to maintain insurance providing such indemnification.

THE COMPANY'S BY-LAWS (INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN) PROVIDES THAT:

AUTHORITY TO INDEMNIFY. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, because he is or was a director of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation or other person or of an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "Indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director while serving as a director shall be indemnified against liability.

ADVANCE OF EXPENSES TO DIRECTORS. The Corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if: (1) the Indemnitee furnishes to the Corporation a written affirmation of the director's good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described in Section 6.2 of the Corporation's Bylaws; (2) the Indemnitee furnishes to the Corporation a written undertaking, executed personally by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the standard of conduct; and (3) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under Section 6.4 of the Corporations Bylaws.

MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. The Corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding.

INSURANCE. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation or who, while a director, officer, employee fiduciary or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent or another domestic or foreign corporation, or other person or of an employee benefit plan, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from his or her status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify the person against the same liability under Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.7 of the Corporation's Bylaws. Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the board of directors, whether such insurance company is formed under the laws of this or any other jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in which the Corporation has an equity or any other interest through stock ownership or otherwise.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, FIDUCIARIES AND AGENTS OF THE CORPORATION. (a) An officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification under the section above titled "Mandatory Indemnification of Directors" and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under Section 6.5 of the Corporation's Bylaws, in each case to the same extent as a director; (b) the Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation to the same extent as to a director; and (c) the Corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary or agent who is not a director to a greater extent than is provided in the Bylaws, if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders or by contract.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc (Westsphere) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who 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.

Organization

The Company was incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1998 as Newslink Networks TDS, Inc. and changed it name to Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. on April 29, 1999. On December 12, 1998, Westsphere acquired 41% of Vencash Capital Corporation (Vencash), and then on December 17, 1999, Westsphere acquired the remaining 59% of the outstanding stock of Vencash by exchanging common stock. The Company accounted for its acquisition of Vencash on the purchase method. Vencash is in the business of selling and installing cash vending machines throughout Canada. On May 18, 1999, Westsphere formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Westsphere Financial Group ltd. (Financial). Financial was organized to lease cash vending machines.

On June 1, 1999, Westsphere acquired its interest in Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. (Kan-Can), by exchanging 290,000 shares of its common stock for a 10% interest in Kan-Can. The Company accounts for its investment in Kan-Can on the cost method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include Vencash, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Financial, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Depreciation

Depreciation has been provided in amounts sufficient to relate the costs of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives principally on the straight-line method over three to seven years.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Inventory

Inventory consists of cash vending machines and valued at the lesser of cost on a first- in, first-out method or net realizable value.

Foreign Currency

Non-monetary items are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the purchase was made or obligations incurred. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in operations.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed based on 9,601,00 and 1,372,571 weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods ended December 31, 1999, and 1998 respectively. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition and is being amortized on a straight-line method over fifteen years. Amortization expense charged to operations for 1999 was $ 15,550.

Note 2 - Receivable Related Party

The receivable bears interest at 5% per annum and is due on demand. The Directors' shares in the Company secure the receivable.

Note 3 - Deferred site development costs

During 1999, Vencash assumed the assets and ATM operations managed by a competitor in Ontario. Vencash has deferred the cost associated with taking over these operations and is amortizing the costs on a straight-line basis over the same period of the ATM machine management agreement between Vencash and the owners of the ATM machines. The cost will be fully amortized by 2004.

Review Report of Independent Certified Public Accountant

 

Board of Directors
Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. as of June 30, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the three and six month periods then ended and statement of cash flow for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 in accordance with Statements of Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc.

A review of interim financial statements consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel responsible for financial matters and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1 - Management's Statement

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. as of June 30, 2000, and the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Notes to Financial Statements, which are contained in the audited financial statements, should be read in conjunction with these financial statements.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The Company was incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1998 as Newslink Networks TDS, Inc. and changed it name to Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. on April 29, 1999. On December 12, 1998, Westsphere acquired 41% of Vencash Capital Corporation (Vencash), and then on December 17, 1999, Westsphere acquired the remaining 59% of the outstanding stock of Vencash by exchanging common stock. The Company accounted for its acquisition of Vencash on the purchase method. Vencash is in the business of selling and installing cash vending machines throughout Canada. On May 18, 1999, Westsphere formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Westsphere Financial Group ltd. (Financial). Financial was organized to lease cash vending machines. On May 16, 2000, VC/POS/ATM Services Inc. (Services) was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Westsphere. Services had no business activity during this period.

On June 1, 1999, Westsphere acquired its interest in Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. (Kan-Can), by exchanging 290,000 shares of its common stock for a 10% interest in Kan-Can. The Company accounts for its investment in Kan-Can on the cost method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include Vencash, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Financial and Services, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Depreciation

Depreciation has been provided in amounts sufficient to relate the costs of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives principally on the straight-line method over three to seven years.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents

Inventory

Inventory consists of cash vending machines and valued at the lesser of cost on a first- in, first-out method or net realizable value.

Foreign Currency

Non-monetary items are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the purchase was made or obligations incurred. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in operations.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are computed based on 12,573,036 and 12,506,369 weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 respectively. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition and is being amortized on a straight-line method over fifteen years.
