NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:
The financial information and other statistical data contained herein
represent the financial condition and results of operations of (i)
e.Volve Technology Group, Inc. ("eVolve") for all periods prior to July
1, 1998 and (ii) the accounting acquirer pursuant to a series of
reorganization transactions completed on September 22, 1999 (the
"Reorganization") described herein for all periods from July 1, 1998
through September 30, 1999. As a result, the financial statements as of
any date and for the period beginning July 1,1998 and ending on or prior
to September 30, 1999 reflect the financial condition and results of
operations of e.Volve as if the Company had acquired the interest of
Infinity Investors Limited ("IIL"), IEO Investments, Limited ("IEOIL"),
and Infinity Emerging Subsidiary Limited ("IESL") (collectively, the
"Infinity entities") in e.Volve on July 1, 1998, except that (a)the
balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 reflects the acquisition of the
minority interest in i2v2.com Inc. ("i2v2.com") and (b) the balance sheet
as of September 30, 1999 reflects the acquisition of Axistel
Communications, Inc. ("Axistel"). Financial information and other data as
of any date after September 30, 1999 is financial information and other
data of eVentures.
The Company was originally incorporated in 1987 as "Adina, Inc." The
Company allowed its corporate existence to lapse in March 1996 and were
subsequently reinstated as "eVentures Group, Inc." in August 1999. From
1987 until the Reorganization, the Company was an inactive company. As a
result of the Reorganization, the Company's business is now based on the
operations of two wholly owned subsidiaries, e.Volve and Axistel and
strategic investments in three companies.
The Company operates in one business segment, the provision of
Internet-based communications services and operation of Internet-based
communications networks based on Internet Protocol ("IP") and
Asynchronous Transfer Mode ("ATM") technologies. The Company currently
has network facilities and points of presence in the United States and
five foreign countries: Mexico, India, Syria, Sri Lanka and the United
Kingdom.
The operating companies provide communications services and operate
communications networks based on IP and ATM technologies. The operating
companies provide high quality communications services, including
offering international voice, data, Internet access and other value-added
applications over private fiber optic networks and the Internet. The
customers of the Company include corporate and governmental
communications service providers and individual business customers in the
United States and internationally.
Both the e.Volve and Axistel networks are scalable networks built around
digital packet switching equipment. This switching equipment, together
with other components of the networks, incorporate ATM and IP
technologies. The networks meet voice over internet protocol ("VOIP")
standards. Internationally, our networks offer communications services
through leased or owned fiber optic cable under direct operating
agreements with telecommunications authorities and internet service
providers ("ISP").
Strategic Investments
In conjunction with its operations, the Company also intends to make
strategic acquisitions and investments. These investments may be in
companies at an early, middle or late stage of development. The Company
also may, from time to time, form a company following a business model if
it wants to make a strategic investment but cannot find an appropriate
investment vehicle. Although it may from time to time vary the types of
companies in which it makes strategic investments, the Company intends to
focus its strategic investments on companies that are well-positioned to
take advantage of next-generation networks and services and that can
exploit the growth of the Internet as a medium for communications,
commerce and the provision of information. In making these investments,
it intends to provide (in addition to capital) operational assistance and
strategic relationships, including strategic relationships with the
operating companies.

INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA
The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1999 and the
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 have
been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows have been made. The results of operations
for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read with
the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
8K-A and Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 9, 1999 and December 20, 1999, respectively.
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 disclosure 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.
3 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment consists of the following at September 30, 1999:
<TABLE>

============
</TABLE>
Depreciation expense was $122,506 and $412,526 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
4 NET LOSS PER SHARE:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share ("EPS").
SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS on the
face of all income statements issued after December 15, 1997 for all
entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed as net
income divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options,
warrants and convertible debentures.
Page 8 of 20
<PAGE> 9
eVENTURES GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Diluted EPS has not been presented for the effects of stock
options, warrants and convertible debentures as the effect would be
antidilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted EPS did not differ for any
period presented. For purposes of computation of EPS, the shares issued
for the acquisition of e.Volve (16,000,000 shares) are deemed to have
been in existence for the entire period.
5 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On October 14, 1999, eVentures exchanged accounts payable to a vendor of
$4,307,437 for $1,107,967 cash plus 221,000 shares of eVentures' Common
Stock.
To consummate the September 22, 1999 Transaction (see Note 1), eVentures
acquired the remaining 33.3% of e.Volve on October 19,1999, through an
extension of eVentures original offer. This purchase was settled through
an issuance of 5,831,253 shares of eVentures' Common Stock.
On November 18, 1999, eVentures issued 2,500 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock and on November 24, 1999, eVentures issued
3,725 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, both at a price of
$1,000 per share. The par value of both classes of shares is $0.00002.
The shares are convertible to Common Stock at a price of $13.80 per
share, subject to normal anti-dilution adjustments. The conversion price
was determined using the average of the closing bid price per share of
eVentures common stock for the 10 trading days ended October 29, 1999.
These shares convert to eVentures' Common Stock on the second anniversary
of date of issue.
On November 30, 1999, the Company terminated its marketing agreement with
Corpovision. The Company settled its liability to Corpovision and ,
terminated the agreement through an issue of 137,500 shares of eVentures
Common Stock. As a result, the Company will record a charge in the
statement of operations of approximately $1,000,000 in November, 1999 for
the difference between the value of the shares issued and the book value
of the note payable to Corpovision.
On December 15, 1999, the Company issued and sold 775 shares of its
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to an aggregate of 14 investors for
$775,000 at a price of $1,000 per share. The par value of both classes of
shares is $0.00002. The shares are convertible to Common Stock at a price
of $13.80 per share, subject to normal anti-dilution adjustments. The
conversion price was determined using the average of the closing bid
price per share of eVentures common stock for the 10 trading days ended
October 29, 1999. These shares convert to eVentures common stock on the
second anniversary of date of issue.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The financial information and other statistical data contained herein represent
the financial condition and results of operations of (i) e.Volve for all periods
prior to July 1, 1998 and (ii) the accounting acquirer pursuant to a series of
reorganization transactions completed on September 22, 1999 (the
"Reorganization") described herein for all periods from July 1, 1998 through
September 30, 1999. As a result, our financial statements as of any date and for
any period beginning July 1,1998 and ending on or prior to September 30, 1999
reflect the financial condition and results of operations of e.Volve as if we
had acquired the interest of the Infinity Entities in e.Volve on July 1, 1998,
except that (a)our balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 reflects the acquisition of
our minority interest in i2v2.com and (b) our balance sheet as of September 30,
1999 reflects the acquisition of Axistel. Financial information and other data
as of any date after September 30, 1999 is financial information and other data
of eVentures.
We were originally incorporated in 1987 as "Adina, Inc." We allowed our
corporate existence to lapse in March 1996 and were subsequently reinstated as
"eVentures Group, Inc." in August 1999. From 1987 until the Reorganization, we
were an inactive company. As a result of the Reorganization, our business is now
based on the operations of two wholly owned subsidiaries, e.Volve and Axistel
and strategic investments in three companies.
NET REVENUES. Net revenues are generated through the sale of international
Internet telephony minutes on a wholesale basis to other U.S. long-distance
providers. The Company's agreements with its wholesale customers are short term
in duration and the rates charged to customers are subject to change from time
to time. Due to increasing competition, management expects these rates to
decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
or results of operation. The Company's three largest customers accounted for
substantially all its net revenues.
DIRECT COSTS. Direct costs include per minute termination charges and lease
payments and fees for fiber optic cable. Prior to September 1999, the Company
only provided international telecommunication services from the United States to
Mexico. The majority of the termination fees and certain fiber optic lease
payments were payable in Mexican pesos. As a result, we were exposed to exchange
rate risk due to the fluctuation of the Mexican peso compared to the US dollar.
Continued fluctuation in the exchange rate may have a material adverse impact on
our financial condition or results of operation. During September 1999, we began
providing international telecommunication services from the United States to
India. All direct costs related to the India operation is billed in US dollars.
Two vendors in Mexico provided substantially all of our terminating capabilities
in Mexico. If one of these vendor relationships were terminated, it could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. These expenses include corporate
expenses and management salaries, sales and marketing expenses, travel and
development expenses, benefits, occupancy costs, and administrative expenses.
The Company maintains a corporate office and two switch facilities. Due to the
international nature of its business, travel and development costs have been
significant and could continue to increase as we seek to expand our network.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1998
NET REVENUES. Net revenues increased to $8.7 million during the three months
ended September 30, 1999 from $4.2 million during the three months ended
September 30, 1998, an increase of 106.3%. This primarily resulted from an
increase in traffic transmitted to Mexico and the startup of providing VOIP
services to India during September 1999, offset by a decrease in the average net
revenue per minute as a result of increased competition in the Mexican market.
DIRECT COSTS. Direct costs increased to $8.7 million during the three months
ended September 30, 1999 from $3.5 million during the three months ended
September 30, 1998, an increase of 149.7%. This increase in direct costs
resulted from an increase in termination fees associated with the increase in
traffic transmitted to Mexico, additional costs related to the termination of
traffic in India and an increase in costs for fiber optic connections between
our points of presence. As a percentage of revenues, direct costs during the
three months ended September 30, 1999 increased to 100.6% from 83.1%.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to $1.8 million during the three months ended September 30,
1999 from $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30,1998, an
increase of 14.3%. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in
operating staff and general operating activities, and an increase in
depreciation expense.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense, net increased to $519,231 during the
three months ended September 30, 1999 from $359,435 during the three months
ended September 30, 1998, a increase of 44.5%. This increase was a result of
higher charges related to capital leases for new equipment.
WRITE OFF OF UNAMORTIZED DEBT DISCOUNT. The write off of unamortized debt
discount during the three months ended September 30, 1999 resulted from the
purchase of e.Volve's outstanding debentures by eVentures and the subsequent
elimination upon consolidation of these debentures in our consolidated balance
sheet.
EQUITY IN LOSS OF UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE. Equity in loss of unconsolidated
affiliate was $18,730 during the three months ended September 30, 1999. These
losses occurred as a result of a joint venture formed with e.Volve in April
1999.

FOREIGN CURRENCY (GAIN) LOSS. Foreign currency (gain) loss during the three
months ended September 30, 1999 was a gain of $6,502 compared with a loss of
$8,238 during the three months ended September 30, 1998.
OTHER. Other income of $6,588 during the three months ended September 30, 1999
changed from an expense of $7,946 during the three months ended September 30,
1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through cash from
operations and from the private placement of common stock, preferred stock,
warrants to purchase common stock and debt. As of September 30, 1999, we have
raised a total of $15.0 million to finance operations and to fund capital
expenditures primarily through borrowings from and equity investments by the
Infinity Entities and the proceeds of capital leases.
On September 28, 1999, we completed a private placement of common and preferred
stock of approximately $6.0 million. Proceeds from these issuances were used for
general corporate purposes and as capital for new investments and projects.
Our principal uses of cash are to fund working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and the operating losses.
As of September 30, 1999, we had current assets of $10.5 million, including
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $7.4 million, and a working
capital deficit of $3.4 million. Current assets included restricted cash of $1.8
million and a tax refund receivable of $2.4 million.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES:
Our operating activities generated cash of $152,801 during the three months
ended September 30, 1999. During the three months ended September 30, 1999 cash
flows from operating activities primarily resulted from non-cash depreciation
and amortization expenses, an increase in accounts payable, an increase in
customer deposits and a decrease in tax refund receivable, off-set by net losses
and an increase in restricted cash.
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES:
We generated cash flow from investing activities of $350,426 during the three
months ended September 30, 1999. During the three months ended September 30,
1999, cash generated by investing activities primarily consisted of cash
acquired in the reverse merger acquisitions offset by uses to purchase
equipment, fund a recently formed joint venture, and make certain deposits.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES:
Our cash flow from financing activities was $5.8 million during the three months
ended September 30, 1999. During the three months ended September 30, 1999 cash
provided was attributable to the issuance of $6.0 million of common stock and
preferred stock, offset by capital lease payments.
GENERAL
Our business plans will continue to require a substantial amount of capital to
fund its expansion of existing and recently acquired markets, continuing to
develop its network and fund operating losses and debt and capital lease service
requirements. We also continue to make strategic investments and to evaluate
acquisitions in light of our long range plans. Such strategic investments and
acquisitions, if realized, could require expenditure of a material portion of
our financial resources and would accelerate the need for raising additional
capital in the future. Sources of funding for our financing requirements may
include vendor financing, bank loans and public offerings or private placements
of equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available or, if available, that financing can be obtained on
a timely basis and on acceptable terms. The failure to obtain such financing on
acceptable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business and
prospects.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Our cash and short-term investments are expected to provide sufficient liquidity
to meet our capital requirements for approximately the next twelve months.
EQUIPMENT LEASING AND FINANCING. We have leased equipment manufactured by
various equipment manufacturers including Network Equipment Technologies, Inc.,
Harris Corporation and Lucent Technologies. We have entered into approximately
$7.0 million of capital leases with BA Capital Corp., Arrendadora BankAmerica,
S.A. and Ascend Credit Corporation.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On October 14, 1999, we exchanged accounts payable to a vendor of $4,307,437 for
$1,107,967 cash plus 221,000 shares of our Common Stock.
To consummate the September 22, 1999 Transaction (see Note 1), we acquired the
remaining 33.3% of e.Volve on October 19,1999, through an extension of our
original offer. This purchase was settled through an issuance of
5,831,253 shares of our common stock.
On November 18, 1999, we issued 2,500 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock and on November 24, 1999, we issued 3,725 shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, both at a price of $1,000 per share. The par value of both
classes of shares is $0.00002. The shares are convertible to Common Stock at a
price of $13.80 per share, subject to normal anti-dilution adjustments. The
conversion price was determined using the average of the closing bid price per
share of our Common Stock for the 10 trading days ended October 29, 1999. These
shares convert to our Common Stock on the second anniversary of date of issue.
On November 30, 1999, we terminated our marketing agreement with Corpovision. We
settled our liability to Corpovision and terminated the agreement through an
issue of 137,500 shares of eVentures' Common Stock. As a result, we will record
a charge in the statement of operations of approximately $1,000,000 in November,
1999 for the difference between the value of the shares issued and the book
value of the note payable to Corpovision.
On December 15, 1999, we issued and sold 775 shares of our Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock to an aggregate of 14 investors for $775,000 at a price of
$1,000 per share. The par value of both classes of shares is $0.00002. The
shares are convertible to Common Stock at a price of $13.80 per share, subject
to normal anti-dilution adjustments. The conversion price was determined using
the average of the closing bid price per share of our common stock for the 10
trading days ended October 29, 1999. These shares convert to our Common Stock on
the second anniversary of date of issue.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Management does not believe that its business is impacted by inflation to a
significantly different extent than is the general economy. However, there can
be no assurances that inflation will not have a material effect on the Company's
operations in the future.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to the impact of political instability, foreign currency,
and other risks.
Political Instability Risks. The Company has relationships with foreign
suppliers in Syria, Mexico, India, Sri Lanka and other countries. The Company
has not experienced any negative economic consequences as a result of
relationships with foreign suppliers in these countries, but may be negatively
affected should political instability in any of these countries develop.

eVENTURES GROUP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Foreign Currency Risks. Since the agreements the Company has entered into with
foreign suppliers in Syria, India, Sri Lanka and other countries are denominated
in U.S. dollars, the Company is not exposed to risks associated with
fluctuations in these foreign currencies. However, because the Company's
agreements with Mexican suppliers are denominated in Mexican pesos, the Company
may be exposed to fluctuations in Mexican pesos, as well as to downturns in the
Mexican economy, all of which may affect profitability. During the period ended
September 30, 1999, substantially all of our termination costs in Mexico were
denominated in Mexican pesos.
Other Market Risks. The Company is also exposed to potential risks in dealing
with foreign suppliers in foreign countries associated with potentially weaker
protection of intellectual property rights, unexpected changes in regulations
and tariffs, and varying tax consequences.
