ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- ------- -----------------------
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON TENGTU INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
The organizational history of Tengtu International Corp. (the
"Company") is set forth in its Form 10-KSB filed for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1997.
THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
The Company's operations are carried out through a joint venture,
Tengtu United Electronics Development, Co. Ltd. ("Tengtu United"), and two
subsidiaries, TIC Beijing Electronics Co., Ltd. ("TIC Beijing")(wholly owned by
the Company) and Iconix International, Inc. ("Iconix")(44% owned by the
Company). These companies engage in the following lines of business in China and
Canada: systems integration, development and marketing of educational and
entertainment software, animation and multimedia.
TENGTU UNITED
- -------------
Tengtu United is based in Beijing, China and is 57% owned by the
Company. The remaining 43% is owned by Tengtu China, which is unaffiliated with
the Company and is owned by three Chinese state-owned computer companies, Legend
Computer Group, Taiji Computer Corporation, and Great Wall Computer Group. These
companies, in turn, are controlled by either the Chinese Academy of Science or
the Chinese Ministry of Electronics. Tengtu United had 3 full time employees as
of June 30, 1999 and 25 independent contractors working on software development.
Tengtu United develops educational and entertainment software for sale
to kindergarten through 12 ("K-12") schools in China. The potential market for
such software consists of approximately 800,000 Chinese schools with over 200
million students. Tengtu United commenced operations in the first quarter of
1997 and as of June 30, 1998, developed over 30 CD-ROM titles.
-3-
<PAGE>
The majority of the software titles developed by Tengtu United are
designed to assist students to prepare for Chinese high school and university
entrance examinations. These software titles are available by subject matter
such as physics, mathematics and chemistry. The remainder of Tengtu United's
software titles are animated entertainment games for children.
Many Chinese schools lack computer systems, networks, operating systems
and teachers with computer knowledge. Therefore, Tengtu United also provides
information technology solutions to Chinese K-12 schools by providing hardware,
networking and operating systems.
With the assistance of Tengtu China, Tengtu United is continuing its
work with the Chinese Ministry of Education and Ministry of Information
Technology to advise them on computerized education and teaching and to assist
in implementing computerized education in the Chinese schools. Tengtu United
also is continuing its work on two "Torch Projects" awarded by the Ministries of
Education and Information Technology. Torch Projects are national initiatives
aimed at improving the quality of education designated by the Chinese
government. The two Torch Projects are the development of a Digital Library
System and a General School Computer Networking System. The Digital Library
System is to be a computerized database and catalog of educational books and
reference materials. The purpose of the General School Computer Networking
System is to introduce computer networking to Chinese schools to enable them to
realize greater computer efficiency and sharing of computer software. Iconix'
UserNet(TM) software could be used in this project.
Tengtu United has entered the final stages of software development for
the Digital Library System and General School Computer Networking System. The
Company's management believes that the software developed for these projects
will be useful to Chinese K-12 schools and will generate revenues to the Company
beginning in late 1999.
As of June 30, 1999, Tengtu United's software sales performance has
been poor because the educational software market has not yet developed as the
Company had anticipated. Specifically, Chinese schools lack adequate computer
hardware, networks and software platforms and Chinese teachers lack computer
training. However, Tengtu United has turned some of these problems into a
business opportunity by selling computer hardware, systems and systems
integration services to Chinese schools. In doing so, Tengtu United is also
creating a market for its software titles. Another reason for the Company's poor
software sales performance is computer software piracy, a major problem in
China.
The Company had committed an additional $6,000,000 in funding to Tengtu
United for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 which it was unable to raise.
Tengtu United was therefore forced to downsize its operations and research and
development activities in 1998 and 1999 causing substantial disruption of its
business plan. This lack of funding combined with the weak market for
educational software in China led to most of the losses reflected in Tengtu
United's financial statements. Despite its downsizing, Tengtu United, with the
-4-
<PAGE>
assistance of Tengtu China, has continued to work with the Chinese Ministry of
Education and Ministry of Information Technology to find ways to enable Chinese
schools to incorporate information technology into teaching. Tengtu China has
also provided Tengtu United assistance with research and development. However,
Tengtu United's downsizing has led to the delay and cancellation of many
software projects resulting in financial losses reflected in the Company's
financial statements.
Tengtu United and Tengtu China are continuing their significant role in
China's initiative to establish an electronic publishing infrastructure with the
Chinese Ministry of Education and Ministry of Information Technology. Tengtu
United expects to be able to transfer many books onto CD ROM which can be easily
accessed and shared. Tengtu China is one of only eight companies that has been
granted an electronic publishing license in China and the only company in China
with a license to publish educational software. The license is for one year and
is renewable each year thereafter upon approval from the Chinese Government.
In the future, Tengtu United plans to focus on the sale of educational
software systems to Chinese schools to strengthen the market for its software
products and exploit synergies with Iconix and its UserNet product discussed
below.
Tengtu United's competition in China consists of numerous Chinese and
foreign software manufacturers
TIC BEIJING
- -----------
TIC Beijing is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which commenced
operations in July, 1997 and has 40 employees. Five of the employees are
responsible for marketing, thirty are responsible for production and engineering
and five perform administrative functions. TIC Beijing's primary business is to
provide information technology services to the education and entertainment
industries in China, focusing on animation and multimedia. Specifically, TIC
Beijing has the capability to produce two and three dimensional animation,
digital integration for television post-production and digital visual effects
for movies.
TIC Beijing provides its services to major television stations
including Central China Television ("CCTV") and Beijing Television. TIC Beijing
continues to seek to expand its business to include pre-production,
co-production of television shows, distribution of foreign television programs
and co-productions of television cartoons. This expansion will require an
additional investment of approximately $3 million.
TIC Beijing's services are marketed by its own in-house marketing staff
with contacts in the Chinese television industry and through attendance at trade
shows and conferences.
TIC Beijing's competition consists of five local Beijing studios.
However, none of these studios have both two and three dimensional animation and
post-production facilities. In addition, TIC Beijing is the only studio that is
foreign owned and believes it has easier access to foreign technology.
-5-
<PAGE>
TIC Beijing has a license to operate its business from the Chinese
government which is reviewed each year. There is no other significant government
approval or regulation of its business.
ICONIX
- ------
Iconix is a Toronto, Canada based company in which the Company had a
44% interest as of June 30, 1999. Iconix and its UserNet(TM) product were
acquired from Unisys Canada in May, 1997. Iconix has 2 employees and 9
independent contractors.
Iconix develops and markets middleware network management software
exclusively for the K-12 educational software market worldwide. Iconix' UserNet
product allows non-technical school staff to manage complex computer networks
with an easy to use tool set. All computing resources, including personal
computers, printers, internet resources, software applications and userfiles can
be centrally managed through UserNet, resulting in savings in costs and
administrative task time. UserNet is already installed in over 1,500 schools on
over 70,000 computers in the United States, Canada, France, South Africa and
China.
Iconix is planning to introduce a Mandarin Chinese version of UserNet
to bundle with Tengtu United's software titles. The demonstration version of the
Mandarin version is now complete. By bundling UserNet with Tengtu United's
CD-ROM based courses in Mandarin, Tengtu United and Iconix are attempting to
become the major software supplier to the more than 800,000 Chinese schools with
over 200 million students. Both Iconix and Tengtu United plan to make use of TIC
Beijing's services to provide leading edge sound, multimedia and entertainment
content to their K-12 software.
In March, 1999, Capital Partners I, a Canadian Corporation, invested
$999,600 (Canadian) in Iconix in exchange for 588 convertible preferred shares.
These funds will be used to finance Iconix' current activities as well as for
additional marketing and product development.
UserNet is marketed and distributed through Iconix' sales force and
through its web site at Iconix' UserNet name is a registered trademark in Canada
and the UserNet source code is copyrighted.
EMPLOYEES
The Company, exclusive of subsidiaries, has two full time employees and
six independent contractors.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
- ------- ---------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has relied on $7,693,527 capital raised during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997 pursuant to Regulation S and section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
For the year ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided by operating
activities totaled $41,141 including net loss of $1,662,947 and depreciation and
amortization of $314,108. Pre-paid expenses, inventories, advances to suppliers
and other receivables decreased by $5,307, $191,164, $122,415 and $3,199
respectively primarily due to a writedown of obsolete inventory and scaling down
and product refocusing of Tengtu United operations during the year. Accounts
receivable, other assets and due from related party increased by $184,529,
$44,238 and $32,762 primarily due to longer payment terms extended to Iconix
customers and an advance of $30,000 to an officer.
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to related party consultants
increased by $556, $109,853 and $481,124 respectively, offset slightly by other
liabilities of $12,284. To conserve cash, the Company has deferred payments to
consultants and senior management of approximately $481,000.
At the end of the year, the Company set up a provision for bad debt
totaling $143,081 for overdue receivables, issued $22,563 in common stock for
services and expensed $50,000 in compensation costs on granting of stock
options.
During the year, $669,023 was generated by Iconix' sale of 558
convertible preferred shares with a coupon rate of 9.5%.
Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $73,380 primarily due
to acquisitions of machinery and equipment for TIC Beijing's Animation Centre.
There were no funds generated by financing activities during the year.
For the year ended June 30, 1998, net cash used by operating activities
totaled $1,409,062 including net loss of $4,219,004 and depreciation and
amortization of $311,041. Prepaid expenses, inventories, advances to suppliers,
other receivables decreased by $559,611, $248,840, $180,908 and $90,560
respectively primarily due to scaling down and product refocusing of Tengtu
United's operations at the end of the year. Accounts receivable increased by
$199,544 due to the commencement of Iconix and TIC Beijing operations in July,
1997. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $1,286,264 and
$266,146. To conserve cash, the Company deferred payments to consultants of
$518,936. Included in the accounts payable was a contingent liability of
$538,544 payable to a former landlord due to a breach of contract. At the end of
the year, the Company wrote down the balance of goodwill of $180,000, set up a
provision for bad debt of $66,900 for overdue receivables, used common stock for
services of $62,500 and expensed compensation costs on granting of stock options
of $50,000. Net cash used by investing activities was $947,612 primarily due to
acquisitions of machinery and equipment for TIC Beijing's Animation Centre.
There were no funds generated by financing activities during the year.
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,662,947 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999, and, as of that date, had a working capital deficiency of
$1,933,885. These factors, as well as a significant downsizing and product
refocusing by Tengtu United, the Company's largest operating entity, create an
uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However,
the Company's management has developed a plan of operation to mitigate these
factors and enable the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company's
-10-
<PAGE>
plan of operation includes obtaining funds by private placement of $150,000 and
a loan of $100,000, the reduction of operating expenses, deferral of payment of
consulting fees, the expansion of Iconix with $669,023 raised by the sale of
Iconix convertible preferred shares, as well the items discussed in the "Plan of
Operation" section below. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon the success of its plan.
REVENUES
- --------
The Company derived its revenues from its systems integration,
educational and entertainment software, and animation businesses. Sales
decreased by 49.5% from $4,646,355 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 to
$2,344,873 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, primarily due to the
downsizing and product refocusing of Tengtu United's operations.
Sales by Tengtu United for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 were
$30,344 ($2,776,605 in fiscal year ended June 30, 1998), TIC Beijing $593,777
($446,565 in fiscal year ended June 30, 1998) and Iconix $1,720,752 ($1,423,185
in fiscal year ended June 30, 1998) respectively.
GROSS PROFIT
- ------------
Gross profit margins, expressed as a percentage of sales, decreased
from 11.4% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, to 11.0% for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999, due to higher overhead costs per unit on smaller sales.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
- ---------------------------------
Research and development expenses decreased from $511,889 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, to $1,440 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1999, due to the downsizing and product refocusing of Tengtu United's
operations. Research and development expenses were supported by Tengtu China,
Tengtu United's Chinese partner, because an expected additional US $6,000,000
financing was not obtained.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------
General and administrative expenses decreased by 49.5% from $3,482,105
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, to $1,757,356 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999, primarily due to the significant downsizing and product
refocusing of the operations of the Company and Tengtu United.
BAD DEBT
- --------
Bad debt increased by 114.3% from $66,898 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998 to $143,347 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 due to a provision for
overdue accounts receivable.
-11-
<PAGE>
ADVERTISING
- -----------
Advertising expense decreased by 88.1% from $139,550 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998, to $16,621 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999,
due to the downsizing and product refocusing of operations of Tengtu United.
SELLING
- -------
Selling expenses decreased by 82.2% from $299,101 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998 to $53,333 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999,
primarily due to the downsizing and product refocusing of operations of Tengtu
United.
DEPRECIATION
- ------------
Depreciation expenses charged to operations decreased by 45.9% from
$119,262 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, to $64,517 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999, primarily due to the downsizing and product refocusing of
the operations of Tengtu United.
WRITE DOWN OF GOODWILL
- ----------------------
The Company recorded a loss of $180,000 from the write down of goodwill
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. As a result of the Company's losses
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 and the necessary revisions to the
projected future undiscounted cash flows, there is no longer justification for
the carrying value of goodwill resulting from the Company's investment in Tengtu
United (a joint venture) of $200,000 ($100,000 cash and 2,000,000 common shares
valued at $.05 per share) purchased in June 1996. As of June 30, 1998, goodwill
of $200,000 and related accumulated amortization of $20,000 was written off.
INTEREST INCOME
- ---------------
Interest income decreased by 82.6% from $22,578 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998 to $3,923 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, primarily
due to the decrease in cash available for investments during the current year.
OTHER INCOME
- ------------
Other income decreased by 6.6% from $38,088 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998 to $35,585 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. Other income
was primarily attributable to sales of technical support services and software
copyrights generated by Tengtu United.
-12-
<PAGE>
MINORITY INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARY'S EARNINGS
- -------------------------------------------
The share of Iconix' loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 is
$83,075 and the cumulative investment up to June 30, 1998 was $77,054. $77,054
of loss was absorbed in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 and the remaining
balance of $6,021 will be carried forward to be absorbed by future earnings.
Tengtu China's interest in Tengtu United's loss is limited by its
capital investment. Any loss not realized by Tengtu China will be carried
forward to be absorbed in the year(s) in which Tengtu United has net income or
in the year(s) that Tengtu China contributes more capital. As at June 30, 1999,
the cumulative loss of Tengtu United being carried forward is $1,601,840.
PLAN OF OPERATION
- -----------------
Tengtu United, the Company's joint venture subsidiary, focused on
developing, marketing and selling its software products to Kindergarten through
12th grade ("K-12") schools in China. The Chinese government, realizing that the
Chinese K-12 schools need the necessary computer hardware, operating systems,
other software and teacher training to utilize information technology to upgrade
the quality of education, commissioned Tengtu China, which in turn commissioned
Tengtu United, to develop and implement two of its Torch Programs, the General
School Computer Networking System and the Digital Library System. The purpose of
the Torch Program is to enable the Chinese K-12 schools to realize greater
efficiency in education through the use of computers. Under the Chinese Torch
Program, Tengtu United is in the process of focusing its efforts to provide the
Chinese K-12 schools with the necessary hardware, software and teacher training
to run its educational software. Direct sales of this expanded product line to
the Chinese K-12 schools, as well as sales through other companies with which
the Company has created strategic alliances, as set forth below, began in
September, 1999. Approximately 12,500 schools have given purchase orders and/or
commitments for software, hardware and/or training.
In pursuing its shifted focus, in August, 1999, the Tengtu United and
Tengtu China entered into a "Cooperation Agreement" with the Microsoft (China)
Co., Ltd. ("Microsoft China") which generally provides as follows:
1. Microsoft China will license proprietary operating software to
Tengtu United;
2. Microsoft China will appoint Tengtu United as its selling
representative for its products in the Chinese K-12 school market;
3. Microsoft China is to contribute funds for marketing Tengtu United's
software products in an amount to be agreed upon;
4. Microsoft China is to provide technical assistance, installation,
training and technical support to Tengtu China with respect to installation of
its products under the Torch Program;
-13-
<PAGE>
5. Microsoft China is to provide funding to Tengtu United to establish
one or more educational product demonstration centers;
6. Microsoft Inc.'s publishing division, pursuant to a copyright
license agreement, will license Tengtu United to sell Microsoft's educational
software in China;
7. The parties understand that this Agreement provides only a framework
and substantial implementation plans are subject to further agreement.
As part of its total solution project, Tengtu United has also entered
into agreements with two Chinese hardware manufacturers to supply their products
to the Chinese K-12 schools. The first is with Legend Computer Group ("Legend"),
a minority owner of Tengtu China, the Company's joint venture partner, and also
the largest hardware manufacturer in China. The second with is Taigu Computer
Company ("Taigu"), which manufactures inexpensive desktop computers specifically
for use in schools.
The shift of focus is also strengthening Tengtu United's ability to
pursue its educational software business. In September and November, 1999,
Tengtu China, the Company's joint venture partner, received two bank loans
totaling approximately U.S. $4.58 million loan from two Chinese banks, China Min
Sheng Bank and China Agriculture Bank. It is anticipated that these funds will
be used by Tengtu United to further develop its Torch Program software for the
Chinese K-12 schools. The Company also believes that this software, combined
with the hardware and other software provided by Microsoft, Legend and Taigu,
has the potential of making Tengtu United a primary supplier of computer
software and hardware packages to the Chinese school system. In addition, for
easier access to software programming talent in North America, Tengtu United
will establish a software development and marketing center in Vancouver, Canada.
TIC Beijing, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, will continue to
provide information technology services, including animation, special digital
effects and post-production services to the entertainment industry in China. TIC
Beijing will also work with Tengtu United to provide animation and digital
effects to its software titles. In order to improve its profitability, TIC
Beijing intends to develop product lines including animated cartoon series,
documentaries and other television programming. The Company believes that these
product lines will permit TIC Beijing to enter into co-production agreements
with Western companies to distribute and market television programming both in
and outside of China. In order to pursue this focus, the Company is negotiating
with Western television production companies for co-production of television
programming and to obtain additional financing.
Iconix and its UserNet family of products was a strategic acquisition
for the Company in 1997. Iconix is in the final stages of development for a
Mandarin Chinese version of UserNet which is expected to be completed by the end
of 1999. The Mandarin Chinese version of UserNet will be used on all of the
computer hardware sold by Tengtu United to the Chinese K-12 schools. The Company
anticipates that by the end of 2000, UserNet will also be bundled with Tengtu
United's current library of over 30 CD-ROM based courses in Mandarin Chinese, as
well as planned titles created pursuant to the Torch Projects.
-14-
<PAGE>
In August, 1999, the Company formed a joint venture company, Edsoft
Platforms (Canada)) Inc. ("Edsoft"), in which the Company has a 55% interest, to
market and sell educational software (including UserNet and software developed
in China by Tengtu United) tailored to the educational market in Hong Kong. In
July, 1999, Edsoft received an investment of H.K.$2,000,000 from private
investors in the form of a loan. Edsoft is in the process of attempting to raise
an additional U.S.$5 million in working capital.
The Company has retained The Cavior Organization as its public
relations firm to communicate with the investment community.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Tengtu International Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Tengtu
International Corp. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 1999 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the two fiscal years in the period then ended. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opnion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tengtu
International Corp. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 1999, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the two fiscal years in the
period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company incurred a net
loss of $1,662,947 for the year ended June 30, 1999 and, as of that date, had a
working capital deficiency of$1,933,885. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 2. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

TENGTU INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY
Tengtu International Corp. (The "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on May
6, 1988 as Galway Capital Corporation for the purpose of seeking potential
ventures. After operating as a Development Stage Enterprise through 1991, the
Company became inactive and remained so until May 1996, when control of it was
acquired by several individuals. On May 24, 1996 the Company changed its name to
Tengtu International Corp. The Company's main activities, which are carried out
through its subsidiaries, are the development and marketing of educational
software and other forms of electronic publishing in China and Canada.
2. GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net
loss of $1,662,947 for the year ended June 30, 1999 and, as of that date, had a
working capital deficiency of $1,933,885. Those factors, as well as a
significant downsizing of operations in its largest operating subsidiary for the
year ended June 30, 1999, create an uncertainty about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
Management has developed a plan to alleviate these factors to enable the Company
to continue as a going concern. The plan includes an injection of $250,000 into
the Company, allocated approximately $150,000 as equity and $100,000 as debt;
the majority of the funds was received by October 28, 1999. Additionally, the
Chinese government has granted the minority owner of one of the Company's
subsidiaries in China an exclusive license to upgrade the computer systems in
grades kindergarten through twelve in the Chinese public school system. This
project is intended to be carried out through the Company's subsidiary. In order
to exploit this license, the minority owner has entered into three market
development agreements, including one with Microsoft (China) Co., Ltd., to
provide computer software and hardware to the schools. To help fund this
project, the minority owner of the Company's subsidiary has received bank loans
of approximately $4,600,000, which were received in two installments in
September and November 1999. It is anticipated that the Company's subsidiary
will receive advances if these monies from the minority owner of the subsidiary
on an as needed basis. Additionally, the Company has entered into agreements
with a number of its related party consultants (see Note 10) to defer payment of
their respective fees until the company completes a major financing transaction
either through equity or debt (see additional plans - Note 17a).
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the
success of its plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and subsidiaries over which it has operational control,
including subsidiaries with a year end of December 31; however, those
subsidiaries financial books and records have been cut-off at June 30
to allow them to be included in these consolidated financial
statements. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated on consolidation.
In accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin 5, the Company has
charged to income the loss applicable to the minority interests that is
in excess of the minorities' interests in the equity capital of the
subsidiaries, including any guarantees or commitments from minority
shareholders for further capital contributions.
b. 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 at June 30, 1999, and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during each of the two fiscal years then ended. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
c. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of computer hardware and software is recognized
when the products are delivered to the customer. Revenue from software
license fees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the license.
d. INVENTORIES
Inventories are priced at the lower of cost, on a weighted-average
basis, or market and consist primarily of computer hardware and
software.
e. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided
primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets, which range from two to ten years.
f. GOODWILL
Goodwill represented the excess of cost of an acquired subsidiary over
the fair value of net assets acquired, and was amortized on the
straight-line basis over ten years. [See Note 5].
g. CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

(CONTINUED)
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
h. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
which requires an asset and liability approach to determine deferred
tax assets and liabilities. The deferred assets and liabilities are
determined based upon the differences between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted
tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the
differences are assumed to reverse.
The Company files a consolidated return with its subsidiaries that are
eligible to be consolidated. Separate provisions for income tax are
calculated for subsidiaries that are not eligible for consolidation
into the U.S. federal income tax return.
i. Loss per Share
Loss per common and common equivalent share is computed based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Due to the
antidilutive effect of the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock
equivalents at June 30, 1999 and 1998, loss per share does not give
effect to the exercise of these common stock equivalents in either
year, but they may dilute earnings per share in the future.
j. ADVERTISING EXPENSE
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
k. IMPAIRMENT
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets to determine whether later
events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives or a
reduction in carrying value due to impairment. [See Note 5].
l. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS/TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of the financial statements of foreign
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars utilizing the exchange
rate at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are
translated using average exchange rates in effect during the year.
Translation adjustments are accumulated and recorded as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the
rate of exchange ruling on the date of the transaction. Material gains
and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the
financial statements in the period in which they are realized.
m. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the change in equity
of the Company during the periods presented from foreign currency
translation adjustments.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
n. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On July 1, 1996, the Company adopted the disclosure requirements of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" for stock options and similar equity
instruments (collectively, "options") issued to employees; however, the
Company will continue to apply the intrinsic value based method of
accounting for options issued to employees prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issues
to Employees" rather than the fair value based method of accounting
prescribed by SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123 also applies to transactions
in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or
services from non-employees. Those transactions must be accounted for
based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value
of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable.
o. SOFTWARE COSTS
Software development costs are capitalized if they are incurred after
technological feasibility has been established. Purchased software is
capitalized if it has an alternative future use. Research and
development costs for new products or enhancement of existing software
and purchased software that do not meet these requirements are expensed
as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over the lesser of five
years of the useful life of the related product.
4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment at June 30, 1999 is comprised as follows:
Computer hardware $ 106,097
Computer software 191,301
Furniture and fixtures 45,479
Automobiles 206,553
Office equipment 89,369
Leasehold improvement 27,137
Idle equipment 73,305
Production equipment 1,288,495
-----------
Total at Cost 2,027,736
Less: accumulated depreciation (655,656)
-----------
Net property and equipment $ 1,372,080
===========
Depreciation charged to operations for the year ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was
$314,108 and $311,016, respectively, of which approximately $249,591 and
$191,779 was included in cost of sales for the year ended June 30,1999 and June
30, 1998, respectively.

5. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Company recorded an
impairment loss of $180,000 from the write down of goodwill. As a
result of the loss for the year ended June 30, 1998, and the necessary
revisions to the projected future undiscounted cash flows, there was no
longer justification for the carrying value of goodwill resulting from
the Company's investment in a joint venture of $200,000 ($100,000 cash
and 2,000,000 common shares valued at $.05 per share) purchased in June
1996. Fair value of goodwill was based on the present value of
estimated expected future cash flows from the related assets. As of
June 30, 1998, goodwill of $200,000 and related accumulated
amortization of $20,000 was written off.
6. INCOME TAXES
For the current year, none of the Company's operating subsidiaries will
be included in its federal income tax return as these are all foreign
entities and are therefore ineligible for consolidation.
The Company has accumulated approximately $5,330,000 of operating
losses that may be used to offset future federal taxable income. The
utilization of the losses expire in years from 2005 to 2019. Due to an
ownership change in the year ended June 30, 1996, annual utilization of
approximately $265,000 of the losses is expected to be limited to an
estimated $60,000 by current provisions of Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended.
As the Company is not liable for either current or deferred income
taxes for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, no
provision is shown on the statement of operations. The Company has
recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,813,000 at June 30,
1999 and $1,486,000 at June 30, 1998 due principally to net operating
losses. A valuation allowance of an identical amount has been recorded
as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the losses
will not be utilized. The allowance has the effect of reducing the
carrying value of the deferred tax asset to $0. The valuation allowance
increased approximately $327,000 and $717,000 during the years ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company operates through subsidiaries located principally in
Beijing, China and Toronto, Canada; the administrative office is in
Vancouver, Canada. The Company grants credit to its customers in both
geographic regions. At June 30, 19998, approximately 53% of the
accounts receivable balance was due from customers in Canada. As of
June 30, 1999, balances from one customer accounted for approximately
28% of the accounts receivable balance.
The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not
require collateral. The Company believes that credit risk is limited
because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its
customers, and based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its
customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as
a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk
exposure beyond such allowances is limited.

7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)
The Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30,
1999 of $209,981. The Company believes any credit risk beyond this
amount would be negligible.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $403,000 of cash in
banks uninsured. The Company did not have balances in excess of the
federally insured amounts in U.S. banks.
The Company does not require collateral or other securities to support
financial instruments that are subject to credit risk.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the normal course of business with the joint venturer, the Company
generated a receivable balance of $293,287 which represents the net
balance of advances to and from the Company during the year ended June
30, 1999. The Company advanced $30,000 to one of the officers during
the year.
During 1999 and 1998 respectively, the Company incurred consulting and
related expenses of approximately $543,600 and $708,900 from officers
and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries or companies
controlled by these officers and directors. Approximately $249,500 of
the amount incurred in fiscal year 1998 was paid during the same year.
No payments have been made for the amounts incurred in fiscal year

11. STOCK OPTIONS
In April 1997, the Company granted options to an employee to purchase
150,000 shares of common stock at one-third of the market price of the
stock at the date of grant. The options are vested equally over three
years, beginning with the year ended June 30, 1997. At June 30, 1999,
there is no remaining contractual life. Because the exercise price of
the options was below the market price at the date of grant, the
Company has recorded deferred compensation expense of $150,000 in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. The
deferral is being recognized ratably over three years, with $50,000
being charged to operations for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
Had the Company elected to recognize compensation expense using the
fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and
net loss per share would be the pro forma amounts indicated below:
Years Ended June 30,
--------------------
1999 1998
---- ----
Net Loss as Reported $(1,662,947) $(4,219,004)
Pro Forma Net Loss (1,677,281) (4,233,338)
Loss Per Share as Reported (.09) (.22)
Pro Forma Loss Per Share (.09) (.23)
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The weighted average
fair value of stock options granted to employees used in determining pro forma
amounts is estimated at $1.29 during 1997.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the pro forma amounts with the following
weighted average assumptions:
June 30, 1997
-------------
Risk Free Interest Rate 6.5
Expected Life 1.8
Expected Volatility 16.2
Expected Dividends None

12. Authoritative Pronouncements
In June 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". Both are effective
for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements.
SFAS No. 131 changes how operating segments are reported in the annual
financial statements and requires the reporting of selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders.
Both standards have been adopted in these financial statements.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers Disclosure
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits", which is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The modified
disclosure requirements are not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.
SFAS No. 133 requires that entities recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in
the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the
derivative and how it is designated, for example, gains or losses
related to changes in the fair value of a derivative not designated as
a hedging instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of the
change, while certain types of hedging may be initially reported as a
component of other comprehensive income (outside earnings) until the
consummation of the underlying transaction.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Initial application of SFAS No. 133
should be as of the beginning of a fiscal quarter; on that date,
hedging relationships must be designated anew and documented pursuant
to the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Earlier application of all the
provisions of SFAS No. 133 is not to be applied retroactively to the
financial statements of prior periods. The Company will evaluate the
new standard to determine any required new disclosures or accounting.

13. Subsequent Events
a. In July, 1999, the Company incorporated a holding company, Edsoft
Platforms (Canada) Inc. ("Edsoft") in which it owns 55%. Edsoft owns
100% of a newly incorporated company, Edsoft Platforms (H.K.) Limited
which markets educational software in Hong Kong. The Company will
contribute technology and a group of private investors, in July 1999,
has advanced approximately $250,000 into Edsoft as a shareholder's
loan, bearing a 10% interest rate. One half of the loan can be convertd
into common shares of the Company at $3 per share if the loan is not
paid in full after 3 years.
b. As of August 31, 1999, the Company's shareholders approved the 1997
Stock Option Incentive Plan to grant stock options representing a
maximum of 2,000,000 common shared to its directors, officers, key
employees and consultants. The purchase price of the option shall be
the fair value on the date that such option is granted. The exercise
period of the option shall expire on such date as the Board of
Directors shall determine, but in on event after the expiration of ten
years form the date the option is granted.
14. LITIGATION
In December 1998 one of the company's Chinese subsidiaries reached a
court settlement with one of its suppliers that requires the subsidiary
to return approximately $93,500 of inventory to the supplier. This
amount has been removed from inventory and the liability is included in
accounts payable at June 30, 1999.
15. MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest includes preferred stockholder's equity in a
subsidiary which represents 588 shares of voting preferred stock issued
by Iconix International Inc. (`Iconix"), a subsidiary of the Company,
which are owned by outside investors. These preferred shaers are
entitled to approxdximately 32% of the combined voting power of all
classes of capital stock. The Company owns approximately 44% of the
common stock representing the remaining 68% of the combined voting
power of all classes of capital stock of Iconix. The preferred stock is
entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 9.5%. Preferred dividends
are included in the Minority Interest. There were no dividends in
arrears at June 30, 1999.
16. PRESENTATION
Certain amounts in the June 30, 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to correspond with the June 30, 1999 presentation.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
a. EQUITY FINANCING
