Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

1.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions of Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further
information, refer to the Company's financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2000 and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-KSB. For the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, an aggregate of
63% and 87% of purchases were from two distributors, respectively.

2.   Merger of TeleScents and FragranceNet.com, Inc.

The Company was formerly known as National Capital Management Corporation
("NCMC"), a publicly held shell company with no substantial business operations.
On July 28, 1999, NCMC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") to acquire TeleScents, Inc., a New York corporation ("TeleScents").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, NCMC issued to the shareholders of TeleScents
an aggregate of 4,900,000 shares of its common stock and an aggregate of
1,029,514 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") in
exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Telescents. The Preferred Stock
was convertible into common stock on a 1-for-10 basis at such time as the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was amended to increase the
authorized shares of common stock to a number of shares sufficient to effect the
conversion. The Preferred Stock had voting privileges on an "as converted"
basis. Accordingly, the shareholders of TeleScents, in the aggregate, held
approximately 90% of the total voting power of the Company's voting stock. The
conversion of the Preferred Stock into 10,295,140 shares of common stock
occurred subsequent to the Shareholders' Meeting on November 16, 1999 where an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was approved to increase
the authorized shares of common stock from 6,666,666 to 50,000,000.

In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name to FragranceNet.com,
Inc. and changed its ticker symbol to "FRGN".

The Company's acquisition of TeleScents was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition with TeleScents as the accounting acquirer, as the shareholders of
TeleScents gained voting control of the Company pursuant to the merger. The only
asset remaining in NCMC at the time of the merger was $437,703 of cash.
Accordingly, the reverse acquisition was in substance a recapitalization of
TeleScents with the issuance of shares of common stock by Telescents to the
pre-transaction stockholders of FragranceNet.com in exchange for cash. For
periods prior to the business combination, the equity of the combined enterprise
is the historical equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the merger
retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares received in the business
combination.

3.   New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). Among other provisions, SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
for hedging activities. It also requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management has not
determined the effect, if any, of adopting SFAS No. 133.

On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 - "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB
No. 101). SAB No.101, as amended by SAB 101A, provides the SEC staff's views on
the recognition of revenue. SAB No. 101 requires registrants to adopt the
accounting guidance contained therein by no later than the fourth quarter of
2000. Management of the Company does not believe that applying the accounting
guidance of SAB No. 101 will have a material effect on its financial position or
results of operations.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company implemented the provisions of
EITF No. 00-14, "Accounting for Sales Incentives", and for all periods presented
reflects its sales incentives as a reduction of sales.

4.   Commitments

The Company entered into a five year operating lease agreement for its facility
of approximately 8,500 square feet. The lease commenced on September 1, 2000 at
a base rent of $6,300 per month and expires in 2005.

Net Sales

Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $1,505,508
or 218% over the comparable period in 1999 which was $688,213. Net Sales for the
six months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $3,292,069 or 307% over the
comparable period in 1999 which was $1,071,824. The increases were due to
greater marketing efforts and an increased number of customers that resulted in
higher sales.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 57% in the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 67% in the comparable quarter in 1999. Cost of sales as a
percentage of sales was 61% for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 67%
for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease was primarily due to obtaining
better prices from suppliers.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

These expenses encompass the entire operations of the business from personnel
required to operate the office to website development and hosting of the
website. The expenses increased to $534,753 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $286,433 in the September 30, 1999 quarter. The expenses
increased to $1,192,911 for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
$479,544 for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of sales however,
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, the expenses decreased from 42%
at September 30, 1999 to 35% at September 30, 2000. For the six months ended
September 30, 2000 expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 36% for the
period ended September 30, 2000 from 45% for the period ended September 30,
1999. This is the result of economies of scale that were effected by the
Company.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the Company's reduction of operating expenses as a percentage of
sales, coupled with the lowering of the cost of sales through better prices for
purchased products, the Company posted an operating profit of $119,808 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to a loss from operations of
$61,009 for the comparable period in 1999. Profit from operations for the six
month period ended September 30, 2000 was $76,372 compared to a loss of $130,364
for the comparable period in 1999.

Income Taxes

Due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, no income taxes were
provided for the six months ended September 30, 2000.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Changes in Financial Condition

At September 30, 2000 the Company had a working capital deficit of $10,014 and
cash and cash equivalents of $211,665 as compared to a working capital deficit
of $91,052 and cash and cash equivalents of $283,433 at March 31, 2000. The
Company's cash and cash equivalents were sufficient to enable it to meet its
cash requirements during the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The main
requirements for capital are for the acquisition of merchandise for sale over
the Internet through the Company website, for the maintenance of the website and
for advertising and promotion to bring consumers to the website. The decrease in
cash and cash equivalents of $71,768 during the six months ended September 30,
2000 was primarily due to the Company's increase in inventory in preparation for
the next quarter holiday period. The Company entered into a five year operating
lease agreement for its facility of approximately 8,500 square feet, which lease
commenced September 1, 2000 at a base rent of $6,300 per month. We believe our
cash and cash equivalents and expected cash flow from operations will be
sufficient to meet our cash needs for the next 12 months.
