Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION
Strategic Ventures, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Florida on
March 19, 1987. At a stockholders' meeting on October 18, 1999,
Strategic Ventures, Inc. completed its name change to Internet Venture
Group, Inc. (the Company).
Effective December 31, 1999, the Company acquired all issued and
outstanding shares of GeeWhiz.com, Inc. (a Texas Corporation) for
26,298,500 shares of the Company's stock by the purchase method. For
accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a reverse
acquisition, with GeeWhiz.com, Inc. as the acquirer and Strategic
Ventures, Inc. as the acquiree. The acquisition qualified as a reverse
acquisition because the officers and directors of GeeWhiz.com assumed
management control of the resulting entity and the value and ownership
interest received by current GeeWhiz.com, Inc. stockholders exceeded
that received by Strategic Ventures, Inc.
On September 28, 2000, the Company acquired ownership of approximately
88% of the issued and outstanding shares of Swan Magnetics, Inc. (a
California Corporation), for shares of the Company's stock. The
transaction was accounted for under the purchase method. See Note 10.
The primary purpose of the Company is to become an internet company
through the acquisition, development and operation of early-stage
companies involved in "business-to-business," "business-to-consumer"
and "click and mortar" business activities. The primary business of
GeeWhiz.com, which now operates as a division of the Company, is the
development, acquisition, marketing and distribution of proprietary
products as specialty products and items for the Worldwide gift,
novelty and souvenir industries. Swan Magentics, Inc., which operates
as a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, is involved in the
development of a proprietary ultra-high capacity (UHC), flexible disk
drive technology and currently has no revenue generating operations.
The Company's fiscal year-end is December 31.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim financial statements have been prepared by management and
are unaudited.
These financial statements are presented on the accrual method of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Significant principles followed by the Company and the methods of
applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of
financial position and cash flows, are summarized below:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
---------------------------
The Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the
period ended September 30, 2000 reflect its operations on a
consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
6
<PAGE>
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES
-----------
Inventories are stated at cost, determined using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method, which is not in excess of market. Finished
products comprise all of the Company's inventories.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
----------------------
Property and equipment is stated at cost. The cost of ordinary
maintenance and repairs is charged to operations while renewals and
replacements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Manufacturing Equipment 5 years
Furniture and Equipment 5 years
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, AND LICENSES
---------------------------------
The Company capitalizes certain legal costs and acquisition costs
related to patents, trademarks, and licenses. Accumulated costs are
amortized over the lesser of the legal lives or the estimated economic
lives of the proprietary rights, generally seven to ten years, using
the straight-line method and commencing at the time the patents are
issued, trademarks are registered or the license is acquired.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
-----------------
The Company recorded intangible assets for the excess of cost over fair
value of net tangible assets acquired during the acquisition of Swan.
This asset represents goodwill and intellectual property acquired and
is being amortized over 10 years on a straight-line basis.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
-------------------
Product Sales are sales of on-line products and specialty items.
Revenue is recognized at the time products are shipped. Other revenue
and commission income is recognized when the earnings process has been
completed.
INCOME TAXES
------------
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, which
requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that are
expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
----------------------------
Basic and diluted net loss per share information is presented under the
requirements of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per
share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, less shares
subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share reflects the
potential dilution of securities by adding other common stock
equivalents, including stock options, shares subject to repurchase,
warrants and convertible preferred stock, in the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. All
potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the
computation, as their effect is anti-dilutive.
7
<PAGE>
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
-----------------------------------
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their
respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these
financial instruments. The carrying amount of the notes payable are
reasonable estimates of fair value as the loans bear interest based on
market rates currently available for debt with similar terms.
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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
There has been no provision for U.S. federal, state, or foreign income
taxes for any period because the Company has incurred losses in all
periods and for all jurisdictions.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax affects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. Significant components of deferred tax assets are as follows:
September 30, December 31,
2000 1999
------------ ------------
Deferred tax assets
Net operating loss carryforwards $ 3,669,871 $ 2,073,915
Valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets (3,669,871) (2,073,915)
------------ ------------
Net deferred tax assets $ - $ -
============ ============
9
<PAGE>
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings,
if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the
net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation
allowance. The Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $3,669,871 and $2,073,915 as of
September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. These
carryforwards, if not utilized to offset taxable income begin to expire
in 2003. Utilization of the net operating loss may be subject to
substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations
provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The
annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating
loss before utilization.
NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has granted options to purchase shares of common stock to
employees, directors, consultants, and investors at prices as
determined by the Board of Directors, at date of grant. A summary of
the Company's stock options granted is presented below:
Weighted-
Average

Balance, December 31, 1999 1,164,150 $ .62

Exercised - $ -
Canceled - $ -
------------- --------------
Balance, September 30, 2000 9,451,625 $ .32
============= ==============
The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Schoales option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumption on stock options issued on or before June
30, 2000: an expected life of four (4) years, expected volatility of
87%, and a dividend yield of 0% and on stock options issued in July
2000: an expected life of 18 months, expected volatility of 90%, and a
dividend yield of 0%.
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is in the third year of a five-year operating lease which
commenced December 1997 for office and warehouse space located in
Houston, Texas. Future minimum lease commitments for building lease
approximate the following for each of the years ending December 31:
2000- $75,943; 2001 - $78,386; 2002 - $73,907; and none thereafter.
Rent expense was $32,121 and $73,296 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

<PAGE>
NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates
continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has
incurred substantial operating losses. As shown in the financial
statements, the Company incurred net losses of $1,595,956 on gross
sales of $260,416 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These
factors indicate there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. The future success of the Company is
likely dependent on its ability to obtain additional capital to develop
its proposed products and ultimately, upon its ability to attain future
profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain
positive cash flow from operations.
NOTE 10 - ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
On September 28, 2000, the Company acquired ownership of approximately
88% of Swan Magnetics, Inc. Swan is a hardware development company
specializing in ultra high capacity floppy disk drives and media. As
part of a two step purchase transaction, the Company exchanged
20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock for approximately 88% of
the outstanding common shares of Swan. The Company then offered, to
those stockholders, an exchange of restricted common stock for warrants
to purchase common stock at an exercise price equal to the market value
on September 28, 2000. The Company has received verbal commitments from
stockholders to exchange 9,206,333 shares of its restricted common
stock for common stock warrants as of November 17, 2000. The fair value
of the common stock warrants was estimated on September 28, 2000 using
the Black-Schoales option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumption on stock warrants issued: an expected life
of 18 months, expected volatility of 90%, and a dividend yield of 0%.
This transaction adjusted the purchase price to approximately
$17,800,000. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method. The assets and liabilities of Swan were recorded at fair market
value, which approximates net book value on the date of acquisition,
and an intangible asset was recorded for the difference between the
purchase price and the net assets. Such intangible asset will be
amortized over ten years. The Company's statement of income excludes
the income and expenses of Swan for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, as the purchase was accounted for as a single asset purchase
because Swan currently has no revenue generating operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements and related notes contained in this Form 10-QSB.
PLAN OF OPERATION
-----------------
The Company has completed two acquisitions in the year 2000. The
Company merged with GeeWhiz.com in July 2000. GeeWhiz operates a vertical
business portal e-commerce web site designed to access and service the
promotional products, gifts, and souvenir markets, functioning within the
Company as a separate division. To date, GeeWhiz has principally been engaged in
the sale of its proprietary Starglas line of fiber optic illuminated drinking
containers. Although GeeWhiz is currently a division of the Company, management
intends to form a new, wholly-owned subsidiary to operate the GeeWhiz business
prior to the end of 2000. In September 2000, the Company acquired ownership of
approximately 88% of the capital stock of Swan Magnetics, Inc., a California
corporation. The Company plans for Swan to continue its current business,
operating as a subsidiary of the Company.
The Company's plan of operation for the remainder of the year 2000 will
consist of activities aimed at:
o Investigating and, if appropriate, pursuing definitive
agreements for acquisitions believed by the Board to be
consistent with the Company's plan to become an internet
company through the acquisition, development and operation of
early stage companies engaged in "business-to-business,"
"business-to-consumer" and "click and mortar" business
activities;
o Establishing strategic partnerships and alliances with
e-commerce enabling companies, such as front-end web design
firms, back-end transaction support firms, and enablers for
horizontal electronic business communities;
o Continuing the development of the GeeWhiz web site and forming
a new, wholly-owned subsidiary to operate the GeeWhiz
business;
o Continuing the efforts to commercialize Swan's proprietary
technology and thereby creating a cash-flow positive revenue
generating subsidiary of the Company; and
o Seeking additional equity financing for the Company.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 to September 30, 1999.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVENUES. Revenues increased slightly from $81,697 to $84,364 for the three
month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. This increase was
attributable principally to increased product sales.
COSTS AND EXPENSES. Costs of goods sold during the three months ended September
30, 2000 decreased to $8,945 from $15,191 for the same period in 1999. This
decrease was primarily the result of decreases in the price of materials. Other
expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, and sales
and marketing expenses, increased $860,237 to $958,716 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 from $98,479 for the three months ended September 30,
1999. The increase was principally due to increased travel, legal, accounting
and other expenses related to completing the Company's acquisition of Swan
Magnetics, Inc. as well as evaluating potential future acquisition candidates.
NET LOSS. The Company's net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000
increased to $886,043 from a net loss of $72,048 during the three months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase of $813,995 is primarily due to an increase in
general and administrative expenses for the Company's third quarter.
Accordingly, the Company's net loss per share increased from $0.003 per share
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $0.021 per share for the same
period in 2000.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 to September 30, 1999.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVENUES. Revenues decreased $93,836 from $354,252 to $260,416 for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. This decrease was
attributable principally to reduced product sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000.
COSTS AND EXPENSES. Costs of goods sold remained relatively constant for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000 while general and
administrative expenses increased for the same period. Costs of goods sold for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $156,568, compared to $156,820 for
the same period in 2000. Other expenses, consisting of selling, general and
administrative expenses, and sales and marketing expenses, increased $1,384,584
to $1,692,396 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $307,812 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase was principally due to
increased travel, legal, accounting and other expenses related to completing the
Company's acquisitions of GeeWhiz.com and Swan Magnetics, Inc., as well as the
Company's resuming its SEC reporting, commencing the trading of its stock on the
over the counter bulletin board, and evaluating potential future acquisition
candidates.
NET LOSS. The Company's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was approximately $1,595,956, compared to a net loss of $155,040 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. Net loss per common share increased $0.032 from
$0.006 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $0.038 per
share for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used by operating activities was approximately $1,163,569 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $114,887 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,939,348 at
September 30, 2000, an increase of $5,933,342 which is primarily attributable to
the Company's acquisition of approximately 88% of the capital stock of Swan
Magnetics, Inc.
The Company financed its operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
and 2000 principally through the issuance of common stock in private
transactions, and borrowings from its management and stockholders.
The Company secured a $1,000,000 loan from Swan Magnetics, Inc. prior to the
Company's September 2000 acquisition of a majority of the capital stock of Swan,
an acquisition which resulted in a significant increase in the Company's cash
and cash equivalents. The Company also has pending the acquisition of businesses
that management believes can provide additional cash for the Company's
operations and be profitable in both the short and long-term. Management also
intends to attempt to raise additional funds through private sales of the
Company's capital stock. Although management believes that these efforts will
enable the Company to meet its liquidity needs in the future, there can be no
assurance that these efforts will be successful.
GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
The Company has continued losses from operations and negative cash flow. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability of reported assets or liabilities
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes
that the Company's recent business acquisitions can provide additional cash for
the Company's operations and that the Company can be profitable in both the
short and long-term. Management also intends to attempt to raise additional
funds through private sales of the Company's capital stock. Although management
believes that these efforts will enable the Company to continue as a going
concern, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.
