Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION:
------------------------------
Strategic Ventures, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of
Florida on March 19, 1987. The Company, at the shareholders' meeting on
October 18, 1999 completed its name change to Internet Venture Group,
Inc.
Effective December 31, 1999, the Company acquired all issued and
outstanding shares of GeeWhiz.com, Inc. (a Texas Corporation) for
26,537,402 shares of the Company's stock by the purchase method.
Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and
for the period ended March 31, 2000 reflect the consolidation of all
its operations on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany
transactions for the period have been eliminated to arrive at the
"Consolidated" financial statements. The impact of the acquisition for
accounting purposes with GeeWhiz.com, Inc. as the acquirer and
Strategic Ventures, Inc. as the acquiree based upon GeeWhiz.com current
officers and directors assuming management control of the resulting
entity and the value and ownership interest being received by current
GeeWhiz.com, Inc. stockholders exceeding that received by Strategic
Ventures, Inc.
The Company's primary business operations are the development,
acquisition, marketing and distribution of proprietary products as
specialty products and items for the worldwide gift, and novelty and
souvenir industries.
The Company fiscal year end is December 31.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
-------------------------------------------
The interim financial statements have been prepared by management and
are not audited.
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:
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Product Sales are sales of on-line products and specialty items.
Revenue is recognized at the time of sale. Other revenue and commission
income is recognized when earned.
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.
5
<PAGE>
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
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.
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.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at cost, which is not in excess of market
determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Finished
products comprise all of the Company inventories.
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.
NET EARNING (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.
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 and
long-term debt are reasonable estimates of fair value as the loans bear
interest based on market rates currently available for debt with
similar terms.

NOTE 5 - 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:
12/31/99 3/31/00
------------- -----------
Deferred tax assets
Net operating loss carryforwards $ 2,094,565 $2,252,063
Valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets (2,094,565) (2,252,063)
------------- -----------
Net deferred tax assets -0- -0-
============= ===========
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 of
approximately $2,094,565 as of December 31, 1999 and $2,252,063 as of
March 31, 2000 for federal income tax purposes. 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 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
------------------------------
Lease Commitments
In December 1997, the Company entered into a five-year operating lease
commencing December 1997 for office and warehouse space located in
Houston, Texas. Future minimum lease commitments for all building
leases approximate the following for each of the five years ending
December 31, 2000 and thereafter: 2000- $75,943; 2001 - $78,386; 2002 -
$73,907; and none thereafter. Rent expense for the year ended December
31, 1999 was $73,296 and was $16,013 for the three month period ending
March 31, 2000.
NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS:
--------------
The Company has granted options to purchase share of common stock to
employees, directors, consultants, and investors at prices not less
than 100% of the fair market value, as determined by the Board of
Directors, at date of grant. Options generally become exercisable
ratably over a five-year period, commencing one year from the date of
grant and have a maximum term of five years. A summary of the Company's
stock is presented below:
Weighted-Average
Number of Exercise Price
Shares per share
------ ---------

--------- -------
Balance March 31, 2000 9,276,625 $.28

The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: an expected life of four (4) years,
expected volatility of 87%, and a dividend yield of 0%.

<PAGE>
NOTE 8 - 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
sustained a substantial operation loss this year. As shown in the
financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $291,831 for
the 12 months ended December 31, 1999 and $157,498 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. At December 31, 1999 current liabilities exceeded
current assets by $471,344 and at March 31, 2000 current liabilities
exceeded current assets by $507,551. 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.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the
Company's operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity
for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company has been
able to continue based upon the financial support of certain of its
stockholders, and the continued existence of the Company is dependent
upon this support and the Company's ability to acquire assets by the
issuance of stock. Management has recently been able to secure a
$1,000,000 loan from Swan Magnetics, Inc. and 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 common 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.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS 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/A.
PLAN OF OPERATION
-----------------
The Company merged with GeeWhiz.com effective December 31, 1999. 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 sometime in 2001.
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 operations of Swan as a 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
-----------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At March 31, 2000, the Company had current assets of approximately $89,801 and
total assets of approximately $428,978. Current liabilities at March 31, 2000
were approximately $597,352, and the Company had no long-term liabilities. The
Company's stockholders' deficit at March 31, 2000 was $168,374.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 to March 31, 1999.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
REVENUES. Revenues decreased approximately $13,098 from $97,244 to $84,146 for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. This
decrease was attributable principally to reduced product sales.
COSTS AND EXPENSES. Costs of goods sold during the three months ended March 31,
2000 increased to $32,493 from $22,297 for the same period in 1999. This
increase was primarily the result of increases in the price of materials and
retooling expenses. Other expenses, consisting of selling, general and
administrative expenses, and sales and marketing expenses, increased to $207,725
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $109,935 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The increase was primarily due to additional professional
services paid for through stock issuance and the Company seeking offshore
vendors for the purpose of reducing the Company's production costs.
NET LOSS. The Company's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
approximately $157,498, compared to a net loss of $34,988 during the three
months ended March 31, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used by operating activities resulted in a loss of approximately
$24,103 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to a loss of $15,983
for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company had a cash deficit in the
amount of $10,795 at March 31, 2000.
The Company financed its operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 block of the capital stock of
Swan, and the Company 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 common 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, negative cash flow and
liquidity problems. 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.
The Company has been able to continue based upon the financial support of
certain of its stockholders, and the continued existence of the Company is
dependent upon this support and the Company's ability to acquire assets by the
issuance of stock. Management believes that the Company's recent business
acquisitions 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 common 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.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
SWAN MAGNETICS, INC. On September 28, 2000, the Company acquired ownership of
approximately 93% of Swan Magnetics, Inc. As part of a two step purchase
transaction, the Company exchanged 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock
for approximately 93% 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 December 31, 2000. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method.
Swan is the developer of a proprietary ultra-high capacity ("UHC"), flexible
disk drive technology, and is based in Santa Clara, California. Swan's President
is Eden Kim, Chairman of the Board and Secretary of the Company. Swan currently
has a small demonstration lab in Santa Clara displaying working UHC drives,
media and pilot production equipment and is under discussion with potential
partners for commercial exploitation of the products.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - PENDING ACQUISITIONS
To date, the Company has entered into definitive agreements to acquire 100% of
SES-Corp., Inc ("SES"), certain of the assets of Cheyenne Management Company,
Inc. ("Cheyenne"), and a minority interest in CyberCoupons.com, Inc.
("CyberCoupons"). Each transaction is subject to a number of conditions to
closing, and there can be no assurance as to whom or whether any of these
transactions will be completed.
SES-CORP, INC. / CHEYENNE MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC. On December 29, 2000, the
Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and Agreement and Plan of
Merger by and among SES Acquisition 2001, Inc., Cheyenne Management Company,
Inc., SES-Corp., Inc.("SES"), Dennis Lambka, and Ronald Bray (the "Acquisition
Agreement"). The Acquisition Agreement provides for both the Company's purchase
of certain of the assets of Cheyenne Management Company, Inc. and the merger of
SES Acquisition 2001, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with and
into SES, with SES to be the surviving corporation.
In consideration of the merger, the former shareholders of SES will receive a
number of restricted shares of the Company's common stock equal to 25% of its
issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the merger. An
additional number of restricted shares of the Company's common stock equal to up
to 8% of the Company's issued and outstanding stock prior to the merger may be
issued in 2002 based upon SES's 2001 pre-tax net income. The Company will also
acquire certain of the assets of Cheyenne Management Company, Inc. in exchange
for shares of the Company's common stock determined by dividing the fair market
value of the acquired assets as stated on Cheyenne's audited balance sheet as of
December 31, 2000 by $1.50.
SES is the nation's largest privately held, full-service Professional Employer
Organization and headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. SES currently has 10
offices in 9 states, with operations in 42 states. Founded in 1989, SES provides
its services to over 3,000 client employers and more than 40,000 work site
employees throughout the United States. Cheyenne is a Michigan corporation
currently owned by the shareholders of SES. The assets of Cheyenne that the
Company will be purchasing will be used to support the business and operations
of SES after the consummation of the merger transaction with SES Acquisition
2001, Inc.
CYBERCOUPONS. On January 9, 2001, the Company executed a Reorganization
Agreement and Plan of Exchange pursuant to which the Company will exchange up to
2,372,625 shares of its common stock for approximately 35% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of CyberCoupons.com,Inc., a Houston, Texas-based
company. CyberCoupons was formed to be an Internet source for consumers to
obtain on-line-printable manufacturer coupons for grocery, household and beauty
products. Advertiser expenditures on coupons amounted to over $6.2 billion in
1997. Much of this consisted of the printing, distribution and logistics
associated with coupon-based marketing activities. CyberCoupons believes that
the disintermediation of coupon distribution and redemption can result in a
significant savings to the billions of dollars spent by manufacturers to print,
distribute and redeem paper coupons. CyberCoupons allows shoppers to select
specific grocery coupons from its web site at a steep discount for use at local
grocery outlets. For example, $50 of coupons can be purchased for as little as
$9.95, with the user enjoying the benefit of being able to choose specific
product coupons.
CyberCoupons believes that it is positioned to capitalize on the
disintermediation of coupon distribution and redemption by offering on-line
download of specific coupons and point-of-sale redemption of coupon face value.
CyberCoupons has established a web site for the purchase of specific grocery
coupons (www.grocerycoupons.com) and is currently involved in key test markets
with regional grocery stores for point-of-sale redemption of electronically
downloaded coupons.
