1. General
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESINTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The interim
financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q. The unaudited financial statements reflect, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature necessary
for a fair presentation of the information presented herein. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - Investments in Preferred Stock are carried at fair
value with the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation included in
the determination of net assets. Cost is used to approximate fair value of these
investments until significant developments affecting an investment provide a
basis for valuing such investment at a number other than cost.
The fair value of investments for which no market exists and for which our
Evaluation Committee has determined that the original cost of the investment is
no longer an appropriate valuation will be determined on the basis of procedures
established in good faith by our Board of Directors. Valuations will be based
upon such factors as the financial and/or operating results of the most recent
fiscal period, the performance of the company relative to planned
budgets/forecasts, the issuer's financial condition and the markets in which it
does business, the prices of any recent transactions or offerings regarding such
6
<PAGE>
securities or any proxy securities, any available analysis, media, or other
reports or information regarding the issuer, or the markets or industry in which
it operates, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities and
other analytical data. In the case of unsuccessful operations, the valuation may
be based upon anticipated liquidation proceeds.
Because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of portfolio securities,
which do not have readily ascertainable market values, the Company's estimate of
fair value may significantly differ from the fair market value that would have
been used had a ready market existed for the securities. Appraised values do not
reflect brokers' fees or other normal selling costs which might become payable
on disposition of such investments (See "Evaluating Committee" in Bylaw of
Central Capital Venture Corporation, 8-K May 8, 2000 by reference).
Investments in companies whose securities are publicly traded are valued at
their quoted market price, less a discount to reflect the estimated effects of
restrictions on the sale of such securities ("Valuation Discount"), if
applicable.
Short-term investments having maturities of 60 days or less are stated at
amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other fixed income securities are
stated at fair value. Fair value of these securities is determined at the most
recent bid or yield equivalent from dealers that make markets in such
securities.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME - Investment transactions
are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is
executed). The cost of securities sold is determined on a first-in, first-out
basis, unless otherwise specified. Dividend income on investment securities is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of
discount and amortization of premium, if applicable, is recorded on the accrual
basis.
CASH FLOWS - For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company
considers all money market and all highly liquid temporary cash investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES - Most, if not all securities, in which the Company
acquires as venture capital investments will be restricted securities within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will not be permitted to
be resold without compliance of the Securities and Exchange Act. Thus, the
Company will not be permitted to resell portfolio securities unless a
registration statement has been declared effective, or unless the Company is
able to rely on an available exemption from such registration requirements. In
most cases, the Company will endeavor to obtain from its Investment Companies
registration rights pursuant to which the Company will be able to demand that an
Investment Company register the securities owned by the Company at the expense
of the Investment Company. Even if the Investment Companies bear this expense,
however, the registration of the securities owned by the Company is likely to be
a time consuming process, and the Company always bears the risk, because of
these delays, that it will be unable to resell such securities, or that it will
7
<PAGE>
not be able to obtain an attractive price for the securities, Additionally, the
Company may never be able to distribute the securities of certain Investment
Companies to stockholders in certain states because the Investment Companies may
not qualify for registration in those states, pursuant to each individual state
blue sky laws.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in accordance
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 statement. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same
basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management,
reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
for a fair presentation for each of the periods presented. The results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
achieved for full fiscal years.
As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X, the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes
have been condensed and do not contain certain information that will be included
in the Company's annual financial statements and footnotes thereto. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and related footnotes for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 included in the Company's Amended Annual Report
on Form 10-KASB.
Income taxes
Income taxes for the interim periods were computed using the effective tax rate
estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, which is subject to ongoing
review and evaluation by management.
Loss per share
The Company reports loss per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
128, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in
computing such earnings per share. Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing income available to common shares by the weighted average
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share takes into
account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts
to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.
2. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS
During the period ended September 30, 2000, the Company invested $1,509,928
utilizing the cost method in two companies and made no follow-on investments.
The individual equity and equity-linked security holdings of the Company at
September 30, 2000 were comprised of the following investments:
1. DataNet Information Systems, Inc.; 1,000,000 Common Shares valued at
$1,409,928.00 (based on book value at January 19, 2000 plus cash contributions)
2. Digi Commerce Corporation 4,000,000 Common Shares, valued at $100,000 (based
on cash contribution)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
This report contains certain statements of a forward-looking nature relating
to future events or the future financial performance of the Company and its
investment portfolio companies. Words such as "may," "will," "expect,"
"believe," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "estimate," "might," or "continue"
or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
included in this report pursuant to the "Safe Harbor" provision of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are only predictions
and the actual events or results may differ materially from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those relating
to investment capital demand, pricing, market acceptance, the effect of economic
conditions, litigation and the effect of regulatory proceedings, competitive
forces, the results of financing and investing efforts, the ability to complete
transactions and other risks identified below or in the Company's filings with
the Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events. The following analysis of the financial
condition and results of operation of the Company should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements, the Notes thereto and the other financial
information included elsewhere in this report.
GENERAL INVESTMENT CLIMATE
The overall investment climate was generally volatile in the second quarter.
Because of the continued volatility in the public markets, a number of
attractive companies chose to seek further rounds of venture capital Companying
rather than risk an initial public offering (IPO). Furthermore, given the
correction in publicly traded technology stock prices, the valuations of many
companies seeking additional financing were reasonable compared to March highs.
Uncertainty continues to affect publicly traded technology stocks, but we
believe that this uncertainty does not warrant the amount of negative press that
this sector has received from time to time. In our view, many companies that
received Companying in 1999 did not have solid business models or survivability
strategies, and in many cases were brought to market prematurely. We believe
that this trend has now run its course. We do not believe, however, that the
pace of growth in new technologies and markets is decelerating. To the contrary,
we believe that it is accelerating and that new markets are being created,
leading to exciting investment opportunities. Looking forward, we also
anticipate an improvement in the IPO market. In our opinion, issues are now
being priced more attractively to encourage investors to revisit technology.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company began operations upon the emergence from a Chapter 11 Proceeding on
May 8, 2000. Its principal investment objective is the realization of long-term
capital appreciation from investing primarily in equity and equity-linked debt
securities of private companies. Pending the completion of equity and
9
<PAGE>
equity-linked debt security investments that meet the Company's investment
objective, available Company's are invested in short-term securities Bank
guaranteed Money Market accounts. Due to the Company's limited operating
history, the Company's financial performance at September 30, 2000 is primarily
composed of interest on temporary investments, and minimal management fee
accrual.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2000, the Company had $1,509,928 of its net assets invested in
portfolio securities of two companies, and $12,228 of its net assets invested in
temporary cash investments consisting of Money Market Company's. Current balance
sheet resources are not believed to be sufficient to finance future commitments.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,168 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000.
Net investment income and net realized gains from the sales of portfolio
investments are intended to be distributed at least annually. Management
believes that its cash reserves and the ability to sell its investments in
publicly traded securities are not adequate at this time to provide payment for
any expenses and contingencies of the Company.
The Company Management reserves the right to retain net long-term capital gains
in excess of net short-term capital losses for reinvestment or to pay
contingencies and expenses. Such retained amounts, if any, will be taxable to
the Company as long-term capital gains and shareholders will be able to claim
their proportionate share of the federal income taxes paid by the Company on
such gains as a credit against their own federal income tax liabilities.
Shareholders will also be entitled to increase the adjusted tax basis of their
Company shares by the difference between their undistributed capital gains and
their tax credit.
INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES
Net Loss after all expenses amounted to $(11,157) for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and $(57,163) for the fiscal year ended June 30 2000.
REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON SALES OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Company realized no net capital gains or losses from the sale of securities
during the three months ended September 30, 2000.
UNREALIZED APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Company had no net unrealized appreciation for the three months ended
September 30, 2000.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends were declared for the four months ended September 30, 2000.
10
<PAGE>
PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS
At September 30, 2000 the cost of equity and equity-linked security investments
made by the Company to date was $1,509,928 and their aggregate market value was
unchanged at $1,509,928. However, any such pending transaction could have an
impact on the valuation of an investment, which may be adjusted prior to the
transaction being publicly announced or completed.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Prior to October 18, 2000 the Registrant and Bernie Budney, a Director and a
Director of DataNet Information Systems, Inc. ("DataNet"), engaged in a
disagreement over several matters relating to the Registrant's wholly owned
Investee Company DataNet. On October 13, 2000 Mr. Budney resigned from his
position as Director and Executive Vice President of the Registrant. On November
28, 2000 Mr. Budney was removed as President of DataNet (US), however the
Registrant is still negotiating with Mr. Budney and his legal council as to how
to best handle the disagreements. While DataNet is still an operating business
run by Mr. Budney, the Registrant cannot foresee the outcome of these
negotiations at this time. To date there have not been any law suits filed by
either party in the negotiations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to financial market risks, including changes in
marketable equity security prices. The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments to mitigate any of these risks. The return on the Company's
investments is generally not affected by foreign currency fluctuations.
Concentrations of market and credit risk exist with respect to debt and equity
investments in portfolio companies, which are subject to significant, risk usual
to companies in various stages of start-up. Generally, there is no ready market
for the Company's investments, as they are closely held, generally not publicly
traded or, in circumstances where an investment is publicly traded, the Company
may be subject to certain trading restrictions for a specified period of time.
