ITEM 1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
.


Introduction

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “our” and “us” refers to Timebeat.com Enterprises Inc.

We own and operate several Internet Web sites which primarily cater to people who have an interest in fine watches, jewelry, clothing, high-end gift and other luxury items. On October 16, 2001, we changed our domicile from the Yukon Territory to the State of Nevada.

Background

We were incorporated under the name Ocean Marine Technologies Inc. in the Province of British Columbia, Canada on May 23, 1986. We initially focused our business on the potential use of a research motor vehicle named Ocean Explorer I. We intended to use this vessel in developing technology which would minimize the growth and spread of the Zebra Mussels in the Great Lakes. We borrowed funds from Ecofab Plastic Covers Ltd. and Caulfied Consultants Inc., and our loans were secured by a mortgage against the Ocean Explorer I. We were unable to repay the loans and Ecofab Plastic Covers Ltd. and Caulfied Consultants Inc. obtained a judgment against us in the amount of $263,000. Ecofab Plastic Covers Ltd. and Caulfied Consultants Inc. subsequently agreed to accept the Ocean Explorer I “as is, where is”, along with all of its liabilities, as full satisfaction of the judgment. Due to a number of circumstances, we decided to abandon our initial focus.

We then entered into negotiations to possibly acquire several different companies. The first company was in the business of extracting nickel and other metallic elements from industrial plating wastes. The second company had a patented welding technology. After conducting our due diligence review of these companies, we decided not to finalize the acquisitions. We have no further obligations relating to these possible acquisitions.

Mineral Exploration Activities

In early 1993, we entered into the mineral exploration business to acquire, explore, and if warranted, develop mineral properties. On May 17, 1994, we changed our name to AGC Americas Gold Corp. to reflect our involvement in mineral exploration. We have acquired and subsequently abandoned several mineral properties in pursuit of our business. While we have discontinued our mineral exploration activities to focus our efforts on our Internet operations, we still hold the following mineral interests:

2



$ JD Gold-Silver Property. Under an agreement with Energex Minerals Ltd., dated October 8, 1993, and amended October 13, 1993, we acquired 24 gold and silver claims in the Toodoggone area of the Omineca Mining Division in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, in exchange for payment of Cdn$45,000 and the issuance of 125,000 shares of common stock, with a deemed value of Cdn$0.25 per share. Energex Minerals Ltd. initially retained a 15% net profit interest in the claims. We also paid George F. Nicholson a finder’s fee of Cdn$7,625 by issuing him 30,500 shares of common stock at a deemed value of Cdn$0.25 per share.

We subsequently acquired the 15% net profit interest from Energex Minerals Ltd. for payment of Cdn$12,500 and the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock. So long as the property is not in production, we were also required to pay Energex Minerals Ltd. a fixed annual royalty prior to December 31st of Cdn$3,588. Energex Minerals is no longer in existence and we have not been advised of any successor to Energex’ interests. Accordingly, we did not make any royalty payment during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.

In 1995, 1996 and 1997, we acquired other claims surrounding the JD Gold-Silver property by staking property which was not previously owned.

$ AL and Lawyers Properties. By a letter of intent dated December 6, 1996 with Cheni Resources Inc., we received the right to earn an undivided 100% interest in the AL and Lawyers properties comprising 22,645 acres in the Omineca Mining Division, and located 12 kilometers south of the JD Gold-Silver Property. The property may contain gold, silver, copper and other minerals. In exchange for this right, we are required to (1) make annual lease payments on or before December 31st of Cdn$18,000 to the Government of British Columbia, (2) issue 400,000 shares of common stock to Cheni Resources Inc., in separate amounts of 300,000 and 100,000 shares, (3) pay Cheni Resources Inc. Cdn$10,000, and (4) incur Cdn$500,000 in exploration expenditures on the property. As of December 31, 2000, we have fully performed our obligations and paid Cheni Resources Inc. Cdn$30,000 in lieu of issuing 100,000 shares of common stock.

Accordingly, we own an undivided 100% interest in the AL and Lawyers properties subject to the following royalty interests: the AL property remains subject to a 7% initial production royalty and a 0.25% net smelter royalty interest on mined and milled in excess of 250,000 tons payable to Cameron Scott and Barry Price; both properties are subject to the aggregated 15% net profit royalty payable to Kinross Gold Corporation, Energex Minerals Ltd., and Cheni Resources Inc; and the Lawyer property remains subject to a 2% net smelter royalty payable to Cheni Resources Inc. (1.9%) and Meota Resources Corp. (0.1%). Cheni Resources Inc. is responsible for all reclamation required from activities performed up to December 6, 1999.

We propose to maintain our interest in these properties and find a joint venture partner. The cost of maintaining these properties is less than $10,000 per year for the next few years.

Watch and Jewelry Division

The Internet has emerged as a global communications medium to deliver and share information and to conduct business electronically. International Data Corporation, a company that forecasts worldwide information technology market trends, estimates that the number of Web users worldwide will grow from approximately 144 million users in 1998 to 602 million users by the end of 2003. The dramatic growth in the number of Internet users has led to the proliferation of information and services available on the Internet, including e-commerce, e-mail, financial services, news and other content. We chose to enter this market in March 1999.

Internet Web Site Timebeat.com

On March 5, 1999, we entered into a letter of intent with Watch Central Corporation and Timebeat.com Inc., our wholly owned non-public subsidiary which we incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 17, 1999. Under the letter of intent, we have agreed to pay Watch Central Corporation $50,000 in exchange for its services to design, develop, beta test and implement an e-commerce Web site that would market, sell and repair fine gold jewelry and watches. This amount has been accrued and remains unpaid as at March 31, 2002. We also paid Watch Central Corporation $3,000 a month for consulting services and $2,000 a month for rent. We currently pay Watch Central Corporation only $500 per month for rent. Watch Central Corporation subsequently became an affiliate, as Alexander Vileshin is an officer and director for both Watch Central Corporation and us. In September 1999, we re-incorporated in the Yukon Territory, Canada, and changed our name to Timebeat.com Enterprises Inc. to reflect our new e-commerce focus.

We launched our Web site in November 1999 and offer for sale brand name high quality watches and jewelry. Since we do not maintain an inventory of watches, we rely upon our contacts in the wholesale watch industry to purchase a watch the same day it is ordered on our Web site. We cannot assure you that we will be able to purchase products on the same day, or maintain our existing contracts. We do maintain an inventory of jewelry. We use and rely upon the information provided by each manufacturer to describe the products on our Web site.

In June 2000, we launched our auction component of www.timebeat.com which offers an auction and authentication of timepieces, jewelry and special products. We offer a twelve-month assurance guarantee for our buyers, which we believe will increase their confidence in making a purchase. We authenticate the products and issue a certificate of authenticity on each purchase. Our buyers are also able to review an independent appraisal of the product being purchased. If a buyer is not satisfied at any time within 30 days from the date of purchase, a full refund will be made.

Internet Web Site Watchzone.net

In December 1999, in order to increase content and awareness of www.timebeat.com, we acquired our second Web site, www.watchzone.net.   Under an agreement dated December 14, 1999, we acquired the Web site and all related assets from Watchzone.net Inc., a Colorado corporation. In exchange for the acquisition, we gave certain watches and jewelry to each member of the management of Watchzone.net Inc with an aggregate value of $10,988. Each member of the management signed a two-year agreement to provide consulting services to us in exchange for options, a percentage of all advertising generated by the Watchzone.net banner advertising program, and the right to purchase any new watch each year for actual dealer cost. Also, we agreed to transfer the Web site and related assets back to the management of Watchzone.net Inc. if Timebeat.com Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, ceased to do business at any time before December 14, 2001.

In November 2000, we entered into another agreement with the management of Watchzone.net Inc., which modified and replaced the original agreement. Under this agreement, we will receive all of the advertising revenue and will own the Web site even if Timebeat.com Inc. ceases to do business. In exchange, we granted an additional 75,000 options at a price of $0.56 per share, and repriced the previous options at $0.56 per share. We also made total cash payments of $8,436 in exchange for the domain name Watchzone.tv, non-compete provisions, and for advertising on our other Web sites.

www.watchzone.net is an informational Web site which allows consumers the ability to gather and exchange information in chat forums and from existing publications, news and press releases, manufacturers’ literature, and product demonstrations and evaluations. Although we do receive some revenue from advertising sales, the primary purpose of www.watchzone.net is to increase awareness of www.timebeat.com.

In December 2000, we signed a licensing agreement with eBay, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY), the world’s leading online trading community. Under this agreement, eBay users will be able to access content from www.watchzone.net.    We are hopeful this will result in an increased number of visitors to our Web site. We receive no income from either eBay or the visitor; however this arrangement generates more visitors to our websites and has the effect of making our websites better known.

Timebeat4teens.com

In June 2001, we launched our new Web site called www.timebeat4teens.com. This Web site is an e-commerce site that sells jewelry, watches, music, clothing and related items to the young adult market age group between 10 to 24 years old. We believe that by cross-promoting our Web sites, we may be able to reach both parents and their children. The Web site is database driven and all items, customer transactions and the functionality is based upon the Coldfusion platform. We have established relationships with various teen magazines to assist us in the marketing of our Web site. We launched the “second generation” of this web site in March 2002

www.timebeat4teens.com hosts over 70 virtual stores offering approximately 15,000 products including fashions from leading apparel manufacturers such as Trina Trk, Cottondale - Paris, Nannette Lepore, XOXO, Rem Garson, and over 3,500 different name brand men’s and women’s fragrances. We have an array of shoes, lingerie and handbags from manufacturers such as Steve Madden, Tuanh, Leah Aiken, Shirley of Hollywood, Leg Ave, Chateau, Leah Aiken, Moyna and Teresa Findlay. We also provide hotel and travel packages.

Perfume Fragrance Line

In July 2001, we entered into a Perfume Agreement with Palm Beach Perfumery, Inc., whereby Palm Beach Perfumery processes and distributes our first two fragrances. We have selectively test marketed the fragrances, and we are in the process of applying for trademark protection. We plan to start manufacturing our fragrances, called “Dance” and “Classified” in October 2002.

In March 2002, we engaged Florribean Productions Inc. to provide marketing and advertising services in connection with our perfume fragrance line and e-commerce business. The term of the consulting agreement began April 1, 2002 and continues through March 31, 2004. We agreed to compensate Florribean with stock options to purchase up to 250,000 shares at $0.40 per share, 10% of advertising revenues brought in by Florribean, and 3% of product sales generated by any spokesperson brought in by Florribean. The options expire March 15, 2007 and are vested as to 50,000 shares upon execution of the agreement, one-third of the remaining 200,000 options vest September 15, 2002, one-third vests March 14, 2003, and the last third vests March 14, 2004. As of July 10, 2002, Florribean has not obtained a spokesperson.

2 Live Entertainment

In March 2002, we formed a new division called 2 Live Entertainment to operate in the music industry. This new division will focus on the following:

· identifying and developing new artists;
· identifying and obtaining the distribution rights to regional “break out” releases;
· developing a musical asset catalog (listing of artists);
· acquiring publishing rights;
· developing a creative support team of writers, musicians, choreographers, etc.;
· developing a revenue stream from mastering and producing compact discs;
· acquiring an existing digital production facility that creates an ongoing revenue stream and provides access to talent and materials; and
· utilizing and developing our own independent distribution network.

In June 2002, 2 Live Entertainment launched its Secretkiss.net dating website. This website targets persons aged 17 through 35. Currently, a free three-month membership is being offered. Thereafter, we will charge $10 per month. Corporate sponsors, such as Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Rebok, Jet Blue, McDonalds, Kodak, and Hollywood Jeans, give new members of the website coupons valued at three times their paid membership fees. The coupons are redeemable for


5 



merchandise on our timebeat4teens website or the sponsors’ own merchandise. Currently, we are negotiating with persons experienced in the music industry to manage and direct 2 Live Entertainment.

Marketing and Sales

We market our Web sites to a broad range of customers that vary in age and geographic location. To date, we have had limited sales to a limited number of customers. Our e-commerce Web site, www.timebeat.com, targets the affluent consumer and avid watch collector. Our informational Web site, www.watchzone.net, is also for the avid watch collector and enthusiast. Our new Web site, www.timebeat4teens.com, targets the young adult market age group between 10 to 24 years old. By cross-promoting our Web sites, we hope to increase our customer base.

Key Alliances and Relationships

We intend to establish additional relationships with a number of companies to accelerate the adoption of our brand name and our services. We believe that establishing strategic relationships will facilitate our brand awareness and provide early access to emerging technologies and new customers. Some of our existing relationships include the following:

· DealTime.com, which is an independent comparison shopping service that lists products and prices from our competitors;
· WeddingNetwork.com, which is a comprehensive wedding resource Web site designed to assist couples in planning weddings;
· MTV/Bunin-Murray, producers of the MTV show called “The Real World/Road Rules Battle of the Seasons”; and
· eBay.com, which is an online auction website selling a variety of products.

Sales and Marketing Strategy

We believe that traditional retailers for luxury and premium products in the United States today can be grouped as follows:

$ High-end department stores and jewelry stores that often strive to provide a high level of customer service and a knowledgeable sales staff, but typically offer a limited selection of mid-range to high-end products;
$ National department stores that tend to carry broad selections of low-end to mid-range products from brands that are complementary to the stores' other offerings, but typically offer limited product-specific customer service;  
$ Specialty and single brand stores, which are retail locations that carry a broad selection of specific product categories, but are limited to the geographic region in which the few physical stores are located; and
$ Boutiques, which are small stores, often located in malls, that generally carry a selection of the latest trends in lower-priced fashion products and accessories.

We believe that traditional store-based retailers face a number of the following challenges in providing a satisfactory shopping experience for buyers of luxury and premium products:

$ Limited Selection. Selection is limited because physical retail space limits the number of styles and the amount of product inventory that may be carried by any one store. In addition, the significant carrying costs of physical inventory in multiple locations require traditional store-based retailers to focus their product selection on the most popular products which produce the highest inventory turnover, further limiting consumer selection.

6 



$ High Operating Cost. Traditional store-based retailers have a high operating cost. Most of the leading luxury and premium product retailers are located either in the most exclusive and expensive shopping locales or in high-cost retail outlets or malls, both of which must be in close proximity to the target consumers. The location of these retailers is directly attributed to serving customers who are willing to physically visit their stores. Traditional retailers sell luxury products often at a significantly higher price than wholesale to cover their high operating cost. As a result, consumers ultimately pay for the higher costs of the retail store.
$ Time Constraints. The needs and time commitments of consumers are changing. Increasingly, luxury goods are appealing to a broader, more time-constrained consumer base that is not willing or able to spend the time necessary to shop in traditional store-based retail locations.
$ Limited Knowledge. In many cases, consumers are served by employees with limited knowledge regarding the features of the products they sell, whether due to high employee turnover, limited training or other factors.

Put simply, traditional store-based retailers can only serve those consumers who have convenient access to their stores. The store-based retailers must open new stores to serve additional geographic areas, resulting in significant investments in inventory, physical space, leasehold improvements and the hiring and training of store personnel. We believe these challenges limit the traditional store-based retailers from offering an extensive selection of luxury and premium products, a broad geographic coverage and convenient access, and a staff which is sufficiently knowledgeable. We believe consumers often do not find shopping for luxury and premium products to be a convenient or enjoyable experience.

Our online store is designed to provide consumers with a convenient and enjoyable shopping experience in a Web-based retail environment. The key components are:

· Broad Product Selection. We offer a broad selection of luxury and premium products which would be economically and physically difficult to offer in a traditional store. This allows us to efficiently adjust our product mix and merchandising strategy. We offer a selection from several leading brands, in addition to brands which are difficult to find in traditional retail outlets. We believe that our wide selection and competitive prices increase the likelihood of a purchase.
· Product Information. Our Web sites display detailed product descriptions and product photos. Our goal is to provide the consumer with product information to assist the consumer in making an educated and satisfactory purchase.
· Customer Service. We are committed to providing customers with a high level of personalized service. Our customer service representatives are available over the telephone and through e-mail, and are trained to answer a broad array of questions regarding product styles, features, technical specifications, as well as product recommendations. Before shipping a product, we inspect each product, and in the case of watches, set the time and date for the customer. In addition, we offer complimentary gift-wrapping and same-day shipping on orders placed before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and free standard overnight shipping in the United States. We offer a 60-day return policy on new watches, and a 30-day return policy on all other products to ensure customer satisfaction. We also offer our watch customers a certification of authenticity, repair and battery replacement services and a Timebeat.com warranty for the length of the manufacturer's warranty plus an additional two years.
· Geographic Location. By selling online, we are able to sell reach consumers throughout the U.S. and worldwide. Consumers are able to go to one location and find an extensive selection of products and information as compared to visiting several stores with limited product offerings.

We believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as more companies engage in commerce over the Internet. The development and awareness of the Timebeat.com brand will depend largely on our ability to allocate our resources to successfully develop and implement effective advertising and marketing efforts. We will not be


7 



successful in promoting and maintaining our brand name if customers do not perceive us as an effective channel for purchases.

Research and Development

We do not spend a significant amount of time or money on research and development. Instead, we rely heavily on third parties for essential business operations, including: Internet access; development of software for new Web site features; content; and telecommunications. Our Web sites are hosted through the following companies:
· www.timebeat.com is hosted by Beyond Solutions Inc. in St. Joseph, Missouri;
· www.secretkiss.net is hosted by Advances.com in Fort Lauderdale, Florida;
· www.watchzone.net is hosted by Advances.com in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and
· www.timebeat4teens.com is hosted by Advances.com in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

We have limited control over these third parties, and we are not their only client. We may not be able to maintain satisfactory relationships with any of them on acceptable commercial terms. We cannot be certain that the quality of products and services that they provide may remain at the levels needed to enable us to conduct our business effectively.

Competition

The e-commerce and Web site industries on the Internet are intensely competitive, highly fragmented and rapidly changing. There are many individuals and companies which are engaged in these businesses, some of which are very large, companies with substantial capabilities and long-term earning records. Some of our competitors include Ashford.com for watches and jewelry, eBay.com for auctions, and Alloy.com for the young adult market. We expect future competition to intensify given the relative ease with which new Web sites can be developed.

We also compete with traditional outlets and high-end department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, jewelers such as Zales and national department stores such as Macy’s. We also compete with manufacturers of our products that decide to sell directly to the customers, either through physical retail outlets or through an online store. Traditional store-based retailers also enable customers to see and feel products in a manner that is not possible over the Internet.

We believe the following are the principal competitive factors in our markets:
· brand recognition;
· selection;
· convenience of location;
· order delivery performance;
· customer service; and
· price.

Many of our current and potential traditional store-based and online competitors have longer operating histories and larger customer or user bases. This, in turn, means that they have greater brand recognition and significantly greater resources than we do. Many of these current and potential competitors can devote substantially more resources to Web site and systems development than we can. In addition, larger, well-established companies may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with our online competitors. Our competitors may be able to secure products from vendors on more favorable terms, fulfill customer orders more efficiently and adopt more aggressive pricing or inventory policies than we can. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our operations.

Government Regulation

There are currently few laws or regulations that apply directly to the Internet. Due to the increasing popularity of the Internet, it is possible that a number of local, state, national or international laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to issues such as the pricing of services and products, advertising, user privacy, intellectual property, information security, or anti-competitive practices over the Internet. In addition, tax authorities in a number of states are currently reviewing the appropriate tax treatment of companies engaged in Internet commerce. New state tax regulations may subject us to additional state sales, use, and income taxes. Because our business is dependent on the Internet, the adoption of any such laws or regulations may decrease the growth of Internet usage or the acceptance of Internet commerce that could, in turn, decrease the demand for our services and increase costs or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. To date, we have not spent significant resources on lobbying or related government affairs issues, but we may need to do so in the future.

Possible Acquisitions

Frontline Performance, Inc.

On April 12, 2001, we entered into a letter of intent with Frontline Performance, Inc., a California corporation (“Frontline”) that designs apparel for professional dancers and cheerleaders, and for those with an active lifestyle. Under the letter of intent, we had the right to acquire Frontline by exchanging 312,500 shares of our common stock for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Frontline. If we were to acquire Frontline, we would also have to pay $200,000 which would be used to reduce Frontline’s debt. Our possible acquisition of Frontline was contingent upon our satisfactory due diligence review.

We determined in April 2002 not to pursue the acquisition of Frontline. Instead, Frontline will be part of the distribution network for our Dance fragrance line.

MyBlue Fish, Inc.

On May 2, 2001, we entered into a letter of intent with My Blue Fish, Inc., a Florida corporation that designs and manufacturers active wear apparel for women. Under the letter of intent, we had the right to acquire My Blue Fish or its assets at a price to be determined. Our possible acquisition of My Blue Fish was contingent upon our satisfactory due diligence review.

In April 2002, we determined not to pursue the acquisition of My Blue Fish. My Blue Fish will also be part of the distribution network for our Dance fragrance line.

Employees

As of July 10, 2002, we had only a number of part-time seasonal contractors and consultants.   None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

Principal Offices

We have offices at the residence of Thomas L. Crom, III, our Chief Financial Officer, for which we pay rent of $250 per month. See Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

We have offices in Vancouver, Canada, where we occupy approximately 800 square feet on a month-to-month basis. We pay rent to an affiliate of $850 a month, and we believe our relationship with our affiliated-landlord is good.

We are renting office and storage space from our affiliate, Watch Central Corporation. Under the Letter of Intent dated March 5, 1999, we paid Watch Central Corporation $2,000 a month for space located in New York, New York. Effective April 1, 2001, rent was reduced to $500 per month. This office is occupied primarily by our President, Alex Vileshin, and we also maintain our inventory of jewelry at this location as well.


9 



We are also renting space in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. On February 25, 2001, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Palm Beach Consulting Corp. At the time of the agreement, Palm Beach Consulting Corp. was owned and operated by Jack Stein, the former husband of one of our directors at the time, Michele Albo. In February 2002, Ms. Albo resigned as a director and Mr. Stein was appointed to fill that vacancy. Under the agreement as amended, we pay Palm Beach Consulting $650 per month as rent for a showroom and storage space for our inventory to be sold on www.timebeat4teens.com. The space is approximately 300 square feet. See Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.


ITEM 2.     DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.


Although we are no longer a mineral exploration company, we still own the JD Gold-Silver Property. The JD Gold-Silver Property consists of 33 mineral claims on approximately 25,203 acres. The JD Gold-Silver Property is located in the Toodoggone area of the Omineca Mining District in north-central British Columbia, Canada, and is approximately 180 miles north of the town of Smithers. The property lies within the Omineca Mountains in N.T.S. 94E/06 and is centered on 57 26' N 127 09' W.

The JD Gold-Silver property is located in the central part of a northwest trending, 50 mile by 20-mile belt of early Jurassic volcanic rocks known as the Toodoggone Formation (Carter, 1972) . The Toodoggone Formation is a sub-aerial pyroclastic assemblage of andesitic to dacite composition which hosts a number of gold-silver deposits. These deposits occur as fissure veins, quartz stockwork, breccia zones, and zones of silicification. Principal ore minerals include argentite, electrum, native gold, and silver and lesser chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite.

We acquired the property in 1993. In 1994, we performed detailed geological mapping, soil and rock sampling, induced polarization surveys, and drilled 32 diamond drill holes totaling 6,800 feet. Our assays in 1994 were fire assayed atomic analysis, and where warranted by mineralization, were subject to gravometric assays. In 1996 we completed a delineation drilling program consisting of 58 diamond drill holes totaling 19,998 feet. Additional drilling, induced polarization and magnetometer surveys were also completed. Our assays in 1995, 1996, and 1997 were fire assayed atomic analysis except, where warranted by mineralization, were further assayed using metallic screen analysis. Initial fire assays and metallic screen assays were undertaken by Ecotech Laboratories of Kamloops of British Columbia, and metallic screen assays and check or duplicate fire assays were undertaken by Loring Laboratories of Calgary, Alberta.

The JD Gold-Silver Property was never in production and, consequently, we never received operating income or cash flow from this property, or any other mineral property which we hold or held. We will continue our reclamation activities and monitor the price of gold and market conditions to determine if it is in our best interests to maintain or abandon the JD Gold-Silver Property.


ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.


Except for the following, there are no legal proceedings pending and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no legal proceedings contemplated or threatened: a claim has been made against us by our previous landlord for rent in the amount of $14,449. We are disputing the claim, and the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. We have not accrued an amount in our financial statements, and any loss will be accounted for in the period in which the loss can be reasonably estimated. There are no pending legal proceedings relating to this claim.

A joint claim for $61,522 had been made against us for mineral property work. We accrued $24,703 at March 31, 2001 for the claim. We resolved the claim in December 2001 by issuing 50,000 shares at a value of $22,500 and assigning reclamation bonds with a value of $12,692 to the claimant.

Overview

We were incorporated in the Province of British Columbia, Canada on May 23, 1986. In September 1999, we re-incorporated in the Yukon Territory, Canada, and we changed our name from AGC Americas Gold Corp. to Timebeat.com Enterprises Inc. On August 14, 2001 at a special meeting, our shareholders approved changing the domicile of the company from Yukon Territory, Canada, to the State of Nevada. The change was completed on October 16, 2001.

In the past, we have had two separate business divisions: mineral exploration and Internet e-commerce. Previously, we had undertaken mineral exploration primarily for gold and silver worldwide, but we have been inactive on this front for a number of years. We own and operate two retail Internet Web sites, one of which caters primarily to people who have an interest in fine watches, jewelry, high-end gift and other luxury items, and the other of which caters to teenage and young adults who have an interest in fashion apparel, cosmetics, music, and travel.

We have previously been in the business of acquiring, exploring, and if warranted, developing mineral properties primarily located in British Columbia, Canada. We have acquired and subsequently abandoned several mineral properties in pursuit of our business. Our current mineral properties are not in production and, consequently, we have no current operating income or cash flow from these properties. We have expensed all exploration costs relating to our properties and areas of geological interest. In early 1999, due to the price of minerals, we chose to examine other business possibilities and have been inactive in mineral exploration since that time, with any expenditures incurred since that time related to reclamation work.

In March 1999, we entered the Internet and e-commerce business. We have completed the development phase of our Internet e-commerce division. In November 1999, we launched our first Web site, www.timebeat.com. This is an e-commerce Web site that markets and sells watches and jewelry, high-end gift items and other luxury items. In December 1999, in order to increase content and awareness of www.timebeat.com, we acquired our second Web site, www.watchzone.net. This is an informational Web site which allows consumers the ability to gather and exchange information in chat forums and from existing publications, news and press releases, manufacturer’s literature, and product demonstrations and evaluations.



13 



In May 2000, we began developing our new Web site called timebeat4teens.com. This Web site is an e-commerce site that will sell jewelry, watches, music, clothing and related items to the young adult market age group between 10 to 24 years old. We believe that by cross-promoting our Web sites, we may be able to reach both parents and their children.     

In June 2000, we launched our auction component of www.timebeat.com which offers an auction and authentication of timepieces, jewelry and special products. We offer a twelve-month assurance guarantee for our buyers, which we believe will increase their confidence in making a purchase. We authenticate the products and issue a certificate of authenticity on each purchase. Our buyers are able to review an independent appraisal of the product being purchased on the auction site. If a buyer is not satisfied at any time within 30 days from the date of purchase, a full refund will be made.

In December 2000, we signed a licensing agreement with eBay, the world’s leading online trading community. eBay users will be able to access content from our Web site www.watchzone.net. We are hopeful this will result in an increased number of visitors to our Web site.

We have been receiving merchandise for www.timebeat4teens.com, and the merchandise has been entered into inventory. An account with UPS has been established and software has been provided as well. A merchant account has been approved and is operational, allowing customers to make purchases by credit card. Timebeat4teens has also established relationships with various teen magazines that will assist us in the marketing of our unique site. The Timebeat4teens web site became fully operational in June of 2001. The Web site is database driven.

We have only generated minimal revenues since our inception in 1986. As of March 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $15,358,135. We have suffered significant losses from operations, require additional financing, and need to continue our expansion of our Internet e-commerce businesses. Ultimately we need to generate sufficient revenues and successfully attain profitable operations. Our present operations do not generate sufficient revenues to cover our expenses. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to do so. These factors, among others, raise substantial and compelling doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations - Year Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2001

Sales. We incurred a net loss of $867,931 for the year ended March 31, 2002, as compared to a net loss of $1,446,171 for the year ended March 31, 2001. Our sales were $109,779 for the 2002 fiscal year as compared with sales of $57,287 for the previous fiscal year. The revenues were generated from sales in our Internet operations, and are net of sales or promotional discounts. Revenue from the sale of products offered on both the Timebeat4teens and Timebeat websites is recognized when the goods are shipped and invoiced and collection of payment is reasonably assured. The cost of goods sold related to these sales was $83,381 and $35,095, leaving gross margins of $26,398 (24.0%) and $22,192 (38.7%), respectively. The increase in sales for the current period are attributable to the increased traffic on the Timebeat4teens site and the introduction of a new line of Allison watches in March 2001. To help increase awareness of the Timebeat4teens site and the new line of watches, we incurred some promotional costs. This increased our costs of goods for the 2002 fiscal year. The cost of goods sold consisted primarily of the cost of the products, and included such items as inbound and outbound shipping costs. Cost of goods sold is comprised exclusively of the acquisition cost of the merchandise sold inclusive of any import duties. Our inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. In addition, we generated interest income of $12,539. For the comparable period in 2001, we generated interest income of $17,772. The decrease is attributable to the cash balances being marginally lower during a period of lower interest rates decreasing interest income.

Expenses. Our expenses were $876,906 for the year ended March 31, 2002, as compared to $1,486,135 for the year ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in expenses is partially attributable to a decrease in commitment fees from $518,220 to $14,578. In addition, mineral exploration expenses decreased from $219,592 in the previous year to $-nil in the current year. Travel and investor relations costs also decreased from $85,097 in the previous year to $23,943 in the current year. In accordance with certain United States Financial Accounting Standards Board accounting standards, we are required to establish a fair market value based method of accounting for stock option


14 



compensation plans. We use the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair market value of employee stock options and other security based compensation.

We expense web site development expenditures in the year incurred. We incurred $115,691 during fiscal 2002 and $60,380 during fiscal 2001. We expect these expenditures to remain at their current level, as we continually improve our web sites.

Management and consulting fees increased from $286,937 in fiscal 2001 to $392,869 in fiscal 2002, offsetting the decrease of $18,718 in salaries and wages. Management and consulting fees increased as a result of the operation of an additional website, perfume lines, and increased sales .   Professional Fees are comprised primarily of legal and auditing fees. Professional Fees increased from $81,713 in previous year to $127,091 in the current year as we incurred additional legal fees related to the shareholder approval process and other work related to moving the domicile of the company from the Yukon Territory Canada to the State of Nevada and other efforts related to the transition as a US public company and the $25,000,000 equity line. The trend for higher legal fees is not expected to continue beyond December 2001 as all filings related to the equity line of credit should be completed and we have completed the change of legal domicile to the United States.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended March 31, 2002, we used cash of $449,270 for our operating activities, as compared to $753,188 for the period in 2001. The decrease in 2002 in the amount of cash used in operating activities was attributable primarily to the decreased loss for the current period. Financing activities in fiscal 2002 provided $418,778, primarily through the issuance of our common stock, as compared to $78,698 in fiscal 2001 when we raised only $89,008 from the issuance of our common stock. Investing activities used $-nil in fiscal 2002, as compared to providing $117,087 in fiscal 2001.

At March 31, 2002, we had working capital of $19,992 as compared to $48,805 at March 31, 2001. The decrease in working capital was primarily caused by a reduction in receivables and amounts due from related parties of $112,298.

Financial Condition

Our total assets decreased from $402,975 at March 31, 2001 to $275,399 at March 31, 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in receivables, amounts due from related parties, and prepaid expenses.

Capital Assets

Our capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We use a declining balance method per annum as follows: office equipment 20%, computer equipment 30%, and computer software 30%. At March 31, 2002, our capital assets had a total net book value of $17,445, as compared to $23,156 at March 31, 2001.

Seasonality

The sale of fine watches, jewelry, high-end gift and other luxury items is seasonal in nature, with cash flows typically peaking in the fall and winter months and reaching their lows in the summer and spring months. We expect future sales to follow this pattern. Accordingly, comparisons of quarterly information of our results of operations may not be indicative of our overall performance.

Plan of Operation

Mineral Exploration.   We have no foreseeable plans for our properties other than to maintain the leases. While we do not foresee any future exploration or reclamation activities, if any are undertaken, they will be subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations govern the protection of the environment, prospecting, exploration, development, production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, mine


15 



safety, toxic substances and other matters. Should we undertake any exploration activities, we expect to be able to comply with these laws and do not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position. Should an improved metals market cause us to re-examine our position, we intend to obtain all licenses and permits required by all applicable regulatory agencies in connection with our exploration and reclamation activities. We intend to maintain standards of compliance consistent with contemporary industry practice.

Internet Web Sites.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we reached an agreement with MTV to participate in The Real World/Road Rules Battle of the Seasons show. This show initially was shown on TV in the United States in March 2002. It will be repeated several times over the next nine months. Our logo and selected retail partners will be featured on-camera as well as verbally mentioned by the shows hosts. It is one of the most watched shows on MTV, has been one of the more popular series on MTV since it first aired 3 seasons ago and is broadcast to over 70 million households in the U.S. Internationally MTV is broadcast to over 342 million households on its 16 stations in 140 countries. In conjunction with the partnership, Timebeat4teens.com will also be featured on the Real World/Road Rules Challenge website with a hyperlink to the Timebeat4teens.com site. The Real World website (www.bunim-murray.com) currently receives 25,000 hits per day, 6,000 of which are from unique users. This association with MTV is expected to increase the traffic to the timebeat4teens website.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we began to see some positive impact on sales as a result of prior marketing agreements and alliances, which had increased traffic to our website.

For the next twelve months, we intend to focus our resources and efforts on increasing sales and traffic on our newest websites, www.timebeat4teens.com and www.secretkiss.net, and our perfume lines. We will continue our efforts to provide superior service and extended product warranties, establish a high placement with various search engines, create brand awareness with the intent to leverage that awareness by launching additional websites, and expand into other areas which may offer a higher gross profit margin potential.

In the long-term, we will focus on establishing additional strategic alliances and continuing our marketing and advertising to accelerate the adoption of our brand name and services. We do not expect to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months. We may hire full-time employees if we grow during the next twelve months and if we are able to sell shares of our common stock to Swartz Private Equity.

Additional marketing opportunities may be pursued if we grow during the next twelve months and if we able to sell shares of our common stock to Swartz Private Equity.

Change of Domicile.   On October 16, 2001, we changed our domicile from the Yukon Territory to the State of Nevada, thereby becoming a Nevada corporation. Under the investment agreement with Swartz, we may issue and sell up to an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 of common stock from time to time during a three-year period. Although we do not know the extent to which we will utilize this method of financing, the investment agreement requires that we issue shares of common stock prior to receiving payment. This is not permitted by the corporate laws of the Yukon Territory, but it is permitted by the corporate laws of the State of Nevada. In addition, we no longer have a significant connection with Canada. Our operations take place outside of Canada and the majority of our shareholders reside in the United States. Also, we believe the change of domicile will improve our access to the capital markets within the United States and should enhance our ability to attract highly skilled employees.

Additional Funding

As of March 31, 2002 we had a working capital surplus of $19,992. We received $34,903 on the exercise of stock options to purchase 97,666 shares in April, 2002. In May 2002, we announced private placements which when completed will provide gross proceeds of $517,500, to be used for working capital.

We will need external financing implement our plan of operations. On November 16, 2000, we entered into an investment agreement with Swartz Private Equity, LLC. The investment agreement entitles us to issue and sell our


16 



common stock from time to time for up to an aggregate of $25 million. This financing allows us to issue common stock and warrants at our discretion as often as monthly as funds are needed in amounts based upon certain market conditions. The pricing of each common stock sale is based upon current market prices at the time of each drawdown, and we may set a floor price for the shares at our discretion. There is no assurance that this financing arrangement will enable us to implement our long-term growth strategy. Accordingly, our sources of financing are uncertain if the desired proceeds from the Swartz equity financing arrangement are not obtained. Our failure to obtain additional financing when needed could result in delay or the indefinite postponement of one or both of our business divisions and the possible loss of your entire investment.

Terry Allison, Vice-President. Under an employment agreement dated November 1, 2000, we employed Mr. Allison for a term of two years, and have an option to extend the term for another two years. Mr. Allison is responsible for the Internet watch division. Under the agreement, we paid Mr. Allison $1,500 for his previous Web site repair services, and also agreed to pay Mr. Allison a salary of $3,500 per month.

As of June 2002, we no longer employed Mr. Allison on a full-time basis, as he wanted to pursue his own business interests. He continues to provide services on a part-time basis relating to www.watchzone.net.

Conflicts of Interest

Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of our company. Insofar as the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate they will devote only a minor amount of time to our affairs.

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to us. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.

Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies in which the officers and directors are affiliated with both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.

We do not have any standing audit, nominating, or compensation committees of our board of directors.

(1)       Under an agreement dated March 5, 1999 with Watch Central Corporation, a company controlled by Mr. Vileshin, Watch Central Corporation provides consulting services in exchange for $3,000 per month, plus reasonable expenses. In addition, we pay Watch Central Corporation $500 per month in rent.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
Timebeat.com Enterprises Inc.
(Expressed in United States dollars)


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Timebeat.com Enterprises Inc. as at March 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended March2002 and 2001. 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 in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company does not have the necessary working capital for its planned activity. This matter raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to this matter is discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.    NATURE OF OPERATIONS


The Company was incorporated on May 23, 1985 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and subsequently continued to the Yukon Territory, Canada in September of 1999 and further continued to the state of Nevada on October 16, 2001. In connection with becoming a Nevada corporation, the Company's authorized capital stock changed from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with no par value to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Company's principal business activity includes the operation of e-commerce retail web-sites specializing in sales of watches, fine jewelry as well as clothing and related products for teens and young adults.


During the year ended March 31, 2001, the Company decided to discontinue the exploration of its mineral properties and, accordingly, was no longer considered an exploration stage company. However, the Company intends to maintain its mineral property interests to the extent possible pending future upturns in the commodities and junior resource markets.


2.    GOING CONCERN


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America with the on-going assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of common stock. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company's ability to complete equity financings and/or generate profitable operations in the future. Management's plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings.

MARCH 31, 2002



3.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Timebeat.com Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation and reporting currency

Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date. Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are included in income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.

For periods prior to April 1, 2000, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, any related exchange gains or losses prior to April 1, 2000 have been recorded in a separate component of shareholders' equity as a cumulative translation adjustment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the specific item method for watches and jewelry and using the weighted average method for clothing and related products.

Web-site acquisition and development costs

Web-site acquisition and development costs incurred in the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in the developing or obtaining of internal use software used in the web-site. Capitalized costs are amortized over the assets estimated useful life.

Capital assets

Capital assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the following methods:

Office equipment 20% declining balance    
Computer equipment 30% declining balance    
Computer software 30% declining balance

3.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Stock-based compensation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for employee stock-based compensation using SFAS 123. Accordingly, compensation cost for employee stock options is measured based on the fair value of the stock options granted.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services".

Accounting for impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of

Long-lived assets to be held and used by the Company are continually reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company bases its evaluation on such impairment indicators as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss will be recognized.

Mineral properties

Costs of acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral properties are expensed as incurred.

Income taxes

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expenses (benefits) result from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of watches, fine jewellery and clothing is recognized when the goods are shipped and invoiced and collection is reasonably assured.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss atrributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted loss per share is not presented separately from loss per share as the exercise of any options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

New accounting pronouncements


In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") approved the issuance of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting making the use of the pooling-of-interest method prohibited. This statement also establishes criteria for separate recognition of intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination. SFAS 141 is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statements at that date. Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that arise due to the initial application of this statement (resulting from a transitional impairment test) are to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle. Under an exception to the date at which this statement becomes effective, goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001, will be subject immediately to the non-amortization and amortization provisions of this statement.


In July 2001, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143") that records the fair value of the liability for closure and removal costs associated with the legal obligations upon retirement or removal of any tangible long-lived assets. The initial recognition of the liability will be capitalized as part of the asset cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life. SFAS 143 is required to be adopted effective January 1, 2003.


In October 2001, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment on Disposal of Long-lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and, generally, its provisions are to be applied prospectively.


The adoption of these new pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.


Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

9.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (cont’d...)

The Company granted 1,274,000 (2001 - 450,000) options to consultants, Nil (2001 - 55,000) options to employees and repriced 64,000 (2001 - 1,760,000) options during the current year. Accordingly, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $226,631 (2001 - $437,124) which is being amortized by charges to operations over the vesting periods of the options. The Company also cancelled 404,334 options (2001 - 1,060,000 options) and, accordingly, the unamortized balance of stock-based compensation of $23,178 (2001 - $126,502) was not recognized in these consolidated financial statements. The amount expensed for the granting of stock options during the year ended March2002 was $202,390 (2001 - $158,588). This amount has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as consulting fees of $188,263 (2001 - $154,566) and salaries and benefits of $14,127 (2000 - $4,022). A balance of $153,097 (2001 - $152,034) remains to be amortized to expense over the remaining term of the consultants' and employees' services which range over a period of two years.

The Company also issued a total of 90,400 (2001 - 904,000) warrants during the current year to a third party pursuant to investment agreements (Note 10c). Accordingly, the stock-based compensation recognized for the issuance of these warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model was $14,578 (2001 - $518,220). The expense has been recorded as commitment fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options and similar instruments granted at the issuance date. In determining the fair value, the following assumptions were used:

 
 
 
2002 
 
2001 
 
 
  
  
Risk free interest rate
 
3.5% 
6.41%

10.    CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

a)    A joint claim against the Company for mineral property work was settled during the current year. The settlement resulted in the Company incurring costs of $12,990 in addition to the $24,703 previously accrued by the Company for this claim. As part of the settlement, the Company assigned restricted term deposits of $12,692 (Note 6) to the claimant.

b)    The Company is not aware of any liabilities related to environmental protection and rehabilitation costs with respect to its mineral properties. However, due to the nature of the Company's former exploration business there is no assurance that such a liability will not arise in the future.

The agreements contain conditions that the Company meet certain listing and pricing requirements for its stock. Funds will be made available subject to the Company meeting these and other conditions. As consideration, the Company granted warrants to purchase 760,000 and 144,000 shares exercisable at $0.75 per share until July 10, 2005 during the year ending March2001 and warrants to purchase 90,400 shares exercisable at $0.3438 until April 10, 2006 during the year ended March 31, 2002 (Note 9).
