NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1
Virtual Academics.com, Inc. ("VADC" or the "Company") is a distance
learning company that provides Internet education to students throughout the
world. The business is conducted under the names of Barrington University and
Virtual Academics.com, Inc.
The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000, the
consolidated income for the three-months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and
cash flows for the three-months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been
prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods
reported have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The results for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000 are not indicative of the results that may occur for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001.
NOTE 2
On July 25, 2000, the Company issued 20,834 shares of common stock as
compensation to consultants. $55,305 of expense was recorded based upon the fair
value of the stock at issuance and paid-in capital was correspondingly credited.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
General
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements appearing in this report. These financial
statements reflect the consolidated operations of Virtual Academics.com, Inc.
("VADC" or the "Company") for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively.
The following may contain forward-looking statements. These statements
consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "expect,"
"anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon or comparable terminology. The reader is cautioned that all
forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and there are certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. The
Company does not have a policy of updating forward-looking statements and thus
it should not be assumed that silence over time means that actual events are
bearing out as we estimated in such forward-looking statements.

VADC is in the distance learning industry. VADC currently operates its
main school, Barrington University, from Mobile, Alabama, where the school is
licensed by the State of Alabama Department of Education, code of Alabama, Title
16-46-1 through 10. VADC offers degrees and training programs to students in 43
countries and in eight languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Portuguese, Russian and Arabic). The programs are virtual in their delivery
format and can be completed from a laptop or home computer, worldwide. Many of
these programs are offered as distance learning (correspondence) as well. VADC
is recognized by governments in China, Egypt and Canada and offers these same
programs internationally. In addition to degree completion programs, VADC
focuses on training corporate personnel, which is considered a major growth
area.
Revenue Recognition
The Company currently recognizes tuition revenue evenly over an
estimated 24-month instructional period. The Company has been developing a new
database of student activity which will allow it to more easily and accurately
track student data including student progress on a course by course basis.
Accordingly, the Company plans to change its method of calculating revenue to be
recognized each quarter. For students registering on or after October 1, 2000,
the Company will recognize tuition revenue based on the number of courses
actually completed in each student's course of study. For example, if a student
completes three out of their nine required courses, the Company will recognize
33% of the tuition regardless of the amount of time that the student has taken
to fulfill these requirements. The Company will utilize the previous method for
all students registered prior to October 1, 2000.
Results of Operations
Revenue - For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the
Company had a 82% increase in earned revenues to $477,864 in 2000 from $262,658
for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in revenues for this period is
due primarily to an increase in the number of students that have registered in
the Company's degree and certificate programs.
Instruction and Educational Expense - Instruction and Educational
Expense consists primarily of student supplies such as textbooks. These expenses
vary with the revenue. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000,
Instruction and Educational Support as a percentage of revenue was 11.8% as
compared to 15.9% for the same period in 1999.
Selling and Promotion - Selling and promotion consist primarily of
recruiting fees and advertising. For the three-month period ended September 30,
2000, selling and promotion expenses increased to $77,266 from $48,882 for the
comparable period in 1999. The increase in selling and promotion expenses is due
to increased newspaper advertising in the quarter.
General and Administrative Expenses - For the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000, the Company experienced an increase to $377,051 from
$109,694 for the comparable period in 1999. This amounted to 78.9% of revenues
as compared to 41.8% for the comparable period in 1999. The increase was
primarily due to four factors. First, personnel-related costs increased by 255%
to $145,000 for the period ended September 30, 2000 from $56,000 for the
comparable period in 1999. This reflected a growth in the number of employees
from five at
7
<PAGE>
September 30, 1999 to 13 at September 30, 2000. This increase is a result of the
growth that the Company is experiencing and the cost of developing new programs.
Unearned revenue in the 2000 period has increased over 300% from the comparable
period in 1999. Second, the cost of professional fees increased to $44,300 for
the period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $1,200 for the comparable
period in 1999 due to the additional costs associated with operating a public
entity. Third, the costs relating to office operations that result from a larger
personnel staff increased significantly. Finally, the expense for
non-collectible tuition amounted to $112,711 for the period or 23.5% of revenue.
For the comparable period in 1999 the expense was negligible.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
On September 30, 2000, the Company had $589,639 in cash and cash
equivalents on hand to meet its obligations, which represented an increase of
$123,956 from the beginning of the current fiscal year.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company had positive cash
flow from operating activities of $127,326 as compared to $92,038 for the
comparable period in 1999. The Company expects that the operations will continue
to provide positive cash flows.
In February 2000, we consummated a private placement to an investor of
2,200,000 shares of common stock. This private placement raised a total of
$990,000. 1,100,000 of these shares were sold and issued for $440,000 in cash
and the balance of these shares were sold for a 7% unsecured promissory note due
February 10, 2001. The unissued balance will be issued upon receipt of payment
of this promissory note.
In June 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial
advisor to assist with raising between $5 million and $20 million on a private
basis. No funds have been raised to date and there can be no assurance that
VADC's efforts in this regard will be successful.
The Company has no significant commitments to purchase any fixed assets
and believes that its cash on hand plus cash flow from operations will provide
adequate liquidity for the remainder of the fiscal year based on current
operations. If the Company decides to pursue any acquisition opportunities, it
may need to raise additional capital although there can be no assurance such
capital raising activities would be successful.
