NOTE 1   BUSINESS DESCRIPTION:

         PetPlanet.Com, Inc. (the "Company") is a development stage company,
located in San Francisco, California and was incorporated under the laws of the
State of California in October 1996 (Date of Inception). On May 15, 1999, the
Company consummated a reverse acquisition with Tech Science Industries., a
Delaware Corporation ("TSCI"). After the acquisition, the Company became the
wholly-owned subsidiary of TSCI. As part of this transaction, TSCI changed its
name to PetPlanet.com, Inc.

         Management intends for the Company's core product and brand to feature
personalized, national and local information, community driven content,
entertainment and unique products and services. Company revenues are expected to
be derived primarily from electronic commerce associated with the sale of pet
foods and related products, advertising, sponsorships and other sources.

NOTE 2   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         The consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2000 and 1999
have been prepared by PetPlanet.com, Inc. ("the Company") pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange commission (the "SEC"). These
statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary
to present fairly the results for the periods presented. The Balance Sheet at
October 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that
date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.
Operating results for the quarter ended January 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended October
31, 2000. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the
Company's 10-KSB for the period ended October 31, 1999.

NOTE 3   GOING CONCERN:

         The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis
that it is a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a
development stage company and has had a history of losses since its inception in
October 1996. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to
achieve profitable operations and obtain additional financing.

NOTE 4   USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 5   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and
claims in the ordinary course of business, including employment related claims
and claims of alleged infringement of trademarks, copyrights and other
intellectual property rights. Aside from the trademark application issue
referred to in the "Subsequent Events", the Company currently is unaware of any
such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in
the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial
condition and operating results.

NOTE 6   NET LOSS PER SHARE

         Basic loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options,
warrants, and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of
common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

NOTE 7   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         See Item 2 of part II below for settlement of a trademark infringement
case.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains certain "forward-looking
statements." These statements are generally accompanied by words such as
"intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" or similar terms
referenced in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They are
typically used where certain factors may cause actual results to be materially
different from the future outcome expressed or implied by such statements.
Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying its
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions could, of
course, prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that it
will realize the results contemplated in any of these statements. You should not
regard such forward-looking information as a representation by the Company that
future expectations will be achieved. It is important to note that past
performance is not necessarily predictive of future performance. Although
forward-looking statements may appear throughout this report, your attention is
directed specifically to this Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

         The Company launched its e-commerce component, and effectively
commenced its business, in September 1999 The Company had no other source of
revenue prior to that time. Accordingly, period to period comparisons in this
Item are not meaningful or appropriate.


OVERVIEW

         PetPlanet.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") is a
development stage company, located in San Francisco, California. On May 13,
1999, the Company (then known as Techscience Industries Inc. ) ("TSCI") and
PetPlanet.com, Inc. ("PPI"), a California corporation incorporated in October
1996 (Date of Inception) and the individual holders of all of the outstanding
capital stock of PPI (the "Holders") consummated a reverse acquisition (the
"Reorganization") pursuant to a certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
("Reorganization Agreement"). Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the
Holders tendered to the Company all issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of PPI in exchange for shares of common stock of the Company, and
therefore PPI became the wholly owed subsidiary of the Company. The Company also
issued options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to holders of
options to purchase PPI common stock. The Reorganization was accounted for as a
reverse acquisition. As part of the Reorganization, TSCI changed its name to
PetPlanet.com, Inc. on May 20, 1999 The description herein of the operations of
the Company include, to the extent applicable, the operations of its wholly
owned subsidiary, PPI.

Simultaneous with the closing of the Reorganization, all of the then officers
and directors of the Company tendered their respective resignations in
accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Agreement. Shareholders elected
Steven E. Marder and Kim Marder to serve on the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"). The Board subsequently appointed Steven E. Marder as the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

         The Company plans to differentiate itself from its well-funded
"Business to Consumer" competition with a unique "Business to Business to
Consumer" model. With the launch of LPBN, the Company intends to capitalize on
the most valuable e-commerce relationship between the local merchant/service
provider and its local customer. The Company plans to provide the infrastructure
and tools necessary to empower thousands of pet-related businesses to service
their loyal local customer base as well as grow their existing customer base.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


NET SALES

         Net sales of $38,000 for the quarter consist of product sales to
customers and charges to customers for outbound shipping and handling and are
net of product returns and promotional discounts. Sales growth during the
quarter was steady. Increased sales are expected to be recognized in the coming
quarters from the launch of the Local Pet Business Network, as well as an
expected increase in online partnerships and offline initiatives.


                                       8
<PAGE>

GROSS PROFIT

         Gross Profit of $(7.000) is calculated as net sales less the cost of
sales, consisting of product costs sold to customers as well as outbound
shipping and handling costs. Gross profit was negative for the quarter as a
result of the Company's promotions offerings including a 15% to 30% discount on
certain types of orders as well as losses resulting from the company's
aggressive shipping promotions. Factoring out these promotions, product gross
margins were positive for the quarter. The Company plans to continue offering
some promotional discounts for the foreseeable future. Although management
believes it will be able to decrease the costs associated with promotions in the
future, no assurance can be given that the Company will not be required to
continue to offer appealing discounts or fund promotions in order to remain
competitive in the industry.


SALES AND MARKETING

         Sales and Marketing expenses of approximately $933,000 consist
primarily of advertising and promotional expenditures, public relations and
online distribution agreements. The Company significantly increased it
advertising expenditures in fiscal 2000 to correspond with the launch of the
e-commerce portion of the site. Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter
included distribution payments to AOL, Mapquest, and Go2Net for preferred
positioning on their sites, as well as other event sponsorships


PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

         Product development expenses aggregating $297,000 consist primarily of
payments to our third party technology partner and related expenses for the
continued development and maintenance of our website. Development costs will
continue as the Company adds features to its flagship brand and continues
development of the Local Pet Business Network.


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

         General and administrative expenses of $842,000 consist of payroll and
related expenses for executive and administrative personnel, facilities
expenses, professional service expenses, travel and other back-office expenses.
We expect these expenses to increase substantially over the next 12 months as
the Company pursues its plans to increase market share.


INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense of $5,175,000 relates primarily to loans payable that
the Company has entered into as part of our financing activities. Loans have
increased significantly from prior periods as the Company has funded its efforts
to market the e-commerce launch of the site.


INCOME TAXES

         The Company has not generated any taxable income to date and therefore
has not paid any federal income taxes since inception. Utilization of the
Company's existing net operating loss carryforwards, which will begin to expire
in 2012, may be subject to certain limitations under section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company has taken a valuation allowance on
the full amount of the net operating loss carryforwards since it is likely the
benefit will not be realized in the future.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of January 31, 2000, the Company's principal source of liquidity
consisted of $497,000 of cash. Net cash used in operating activities was $2.2
million for the three months ended January 31, 2000. Net operating cash flows
were primarily attributable to net losses for the quarter.


                                       9
<PAGE>

         Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.7 million for the
quarter ended January 31, 2000 resulting from the issuance of several
convertible notes as well as a $500,000 common stock investment. The notes carry
conversion prices ranging from $2 to $5 per share of the Company's common stock.

         The Company believes that current cash and cash equivalents will be
sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs through the next two months and
has substantial doubt about its ability to continue operations beyond such
period without obtaining additional financing and/or consummating a strategic
alliance with a well-funded business partner. No assurances can be given that
the Company will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing or that
it will be successful in finding a merger partner or joint venturer. Failure to
obtain additional sources of financing will adversely affect the Company's
ability to continue operations. No assurance can be given that, if the Company
can obtain additional financing or a strategic alliance, that such financing or
alliance will be on terms acceptable to the Company and will not result in
substantial dilution to existing shareholders of the Company.


RECENT EVENTS

         In January of 2000, the Company entered into an exclusive one year
agreement with Online Partners (Gay.com), the leading gay and lesbian affinity
portal. The combination fee and revenue share relationship will establish
PetPlanet.com as Gay.com's exclusive e-commerce, advertising and programming
partner in the pet channel. Management believes that the relationship will allow
the Company to gain access to the largest number of gay and lesbian pet parents
online.

         To fund our need for additional working capital, from September 1999
through January 2000 we sold certain notes and equity linked securities to
members of our management and a small group of private investors in private
placement transactions. Capital raised from these transactions aggregate over
approximately $3.5 million.

Prejudice was filed March 2, 2000. Management considers the settlement to be
strongly favorable to the Company. It is now anticipated that the trademarks
will be granted, assuming the remainder of the registration procedure is allowed
to run its course uninterrupted.
