PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

Business Development.

Effective August 27, 1999, XML-Technologies, Inc. (XML-Technologies) and International Capital Funding, Inc. (ICF) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement). In accordance with the Agreement, the stockholders of XML-Technologies received 12.5 million shares of ICF stock in exchange for the 12.5 million outstanding shares of XML-Technologies. The stockholders of ICF retained 5 million shares in exchange for no assets and the assumption of $2,671 of liabilities of ICF by XML-Technologies. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of XML-Technologies and the accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of XML-Technologies. After entering into the Agreement, the ownership percentage of the original stockholders of XML - Technologies was reduced from 100% to 71%.

ICF was organized in 1991 for the purpose of consummating a merger or acquisition with a private entity. Prior to entering into the Agreement, it had no material amount of assets or liabilities and no operations. Subsequent to completing the Agreement, ICF changed its name to XML-Global Technologies, Inc. ("XML-Global Technologies" or the "Company") and changed its fiscal year-end to June 30.

XML-Technologies is a Nevada corporation organized on May 18, 1999 to hold either directly or indirectly all outstanding shares of XML-Global Research, Inc. and Walkabout Website Designs, Ltd., both of which are British Columbia corporations. XML Technologies and its subsidiaries engage in the business of developing software applications using XML (eXtensible Markup Language). XML is an abbreviated version of SGML (Standard General Markup Language), an international standard for defining descriptions of the structure and content of electronic documents.

In October 1999, DataXchg, Inc. was formed by the Company and David Webber, a Director of the Company. Initially, DataXchg was 40%-owned by XML Global Technologies and 60%-owned by Mr. Webber. In exchange for his interest, Mr. Webber assigned to DataXchg certain technology which underlies our current product known as GoXML Transform, which offers the ability to convert standard EDI documents into XML format. In June 2000, we acquired Mr. Webber's 60% interest in DataXchg in exchange for issuing to Mr. Webber 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. As a result of this transaction, DataXchg became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

On January 17, 2001, we acquired the issued shares of Bluestream Database Software Corp through a newly incorporated subsidiary, 620486 BC Ltd. Bluestream is a British Columbia corporation which had developed proprietary XML database software. On April 15, 2002, the Company entered into a letter of intent to allow Mr. James Tivy to indirectly purchase an interest in Bluestream. The transaction closed on September 26, 2002 and we now hold preferred shares in Bluestream with a redemption value of $575,000 and a 45% interest in Bluestream's common stock. Due to the uncertainty of realizing value or a return on the preferred stock, we expect to ascribe only a nominal carrying value.

On November 5, 2001, XML Global formed LE Informatics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company planned to transfer its intellectual property rights associated with our "Xtract" software to LE Informatics, Inc. and license our other products to LE Informatics, Inc. From December 2001 to April 2002, LE Informatics and its wholly-owned subsidiary Xtract Informatics Corp. engaged in the marketing of XMLsoftware to law enforcement agencies. LE Informatics and its subsidiary ceased operations in April 2002 and are currently inactive. On August 14, 2002, we entered into a letter of intent to sell the Xtract technology to Syscon Justice Systems Ltd. (a Canadian company) for two cash installments aggregating $160,000 plus royalties of at least C$50,000 annually in each of the next five years, depending on Syscon's sales of Xtract. Total payments over the five-year life of the contract are to be between C$500,000 and C$800,000 ($320,000 and $510,000 in US dollars respectively, at current exchange rates) depending on SysCon's sales volume. This transaction has not closed at the date of this report on Form 10-KSB.

As part of a series of related transactions with Paradigm Millennium Fund, LP (Paradigm), a Delaware limited partnership, and Vertaport, Inc., a Delaware Corp., we have and will issue stock and warrants to Paradigm in exchange for cash and intellectual property. The transaction will be completed in three stages.

<R>

1.

On August 23, 2002, Paradigm purchased 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Class A Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $1,000,000. Subtracted from this amount was a placement agent's fee and non-accountable expense allowance of $85,000.

 

2.

Upon delivery of a legal opinion related to the intellectual property described in item 3 below, but in no event later than September 30, 2002, Paradigm agreed to purchase an additional 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Class A Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. Subtracted from this amount will be a placement agent's fee and non-accountable expense allowance in the amount of $85,000. On October 1, 2002, Paradigm delivered an additional $300,000 and requested an extension of 30 days to fund the remaining balance of $615,000.

 

3.

On August 23, 2002, we also agreed to purchase certain intangible assets from Vertaport, Inc. including technology, software, documentation, contracts and licenses. In particular we agreed to acquire Vertaport's XML-based VertaCom™ platform which allows clients to universally translate, transform, and transmit data from multiple sources as well as take advantage of extensive data management reporting and administration tools. Vertaport's VertaCom technology is complementary with our XML middleware products. At the date of agreement, VertaCom was not a commercially viable product without further development. Consequently the purchase price of 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock, Class A Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 7,000,000 share of Common Stock at $0.50 per share and Class B Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share will be recorded as In-Process Research and Development upon consummation of the transaction. Based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock and warrants, we estimate a charge to earnings of approximately $2.9 million.

   

As part of this transaction, Vertaport, Inc. is to provide us with a legal opinion confirming the validity and enforceability of its technological assets, intellectual property rights and trade secrets and the legal capacity of Vertaport, Inc. to convey such rights and assets free and clear of liens or claims of third parties. Additionally, Paradigm Group LLP (an Illinois limited partnership) has agreed to indemnify us against any qualifications or exception in the legal opinion to be provided by Vertaport, Inc.  As of the date of this amended report, Vertaport has not completed the delivery of a legal opinion that conforms to the requirements of our agreement.

</R>

The Class A Warrants provide for the purchase of up to 13,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share until December 31, 2005. We estimate that legal fees and other financing costs will be approximately $30,000 for aggregate net proceeds of $1,800,000.We have agreed to undertake reasonable efforts to register shares of Common Stock and the shares underlying the Class A Warrants by October 23, 2002. Paradigm has agreed not to dispose of Securities (shares of common stock or warrants) for the 90 day period following the effective date of the Registration Statement, and thereafter not to dispose of more than 25% of all of the Securities during each 90-day period, determined without accumulation. In conjunction with this transaction, we expect that Sheldon Drobny, Chairman of Paradigm Millennium Fund, LP, will join our board of directors.

Business of Issuer

Our business objective is to give companies a competitive advantage by providing simple and relevant e-business solutions incorporating pure, XML-based technology. Our vision is to create a global e-market place in which enterprises of any size can find each other electronically and conduct business through the exchange of XML based messages:

*

Using standard message structures.

*

According to standard business process sequences.

*

Comprising clear business semantics.

*

According to standard or mutually agreed trading partner agreements.

*

Using open, off-the-shelf business applications.

Operations

The founders of the Company began working with eXtensible Markup Language ("XML") in early 1998 and began to develop software as a group in the fall of 1998. XML Technologies, Inc. was formed in May 1999 to develop commercial applications using the founders' XML expertise. In July 1999, we commenced sales of Cartnetwork, our proprietary e-commerce software and in July 1999, we announced GoXML, which we believe is the world's first XML context search engine. On September 29, 1999, we filed an application with the United States Patent Office in respect of our GoXML search engine under the title "Authoring, altering, indexing, storing and retrieving electronic documents embedded with contextual markup".

We continue to develop proprietary XML-based solutions for the Internet-based economy with a focus on e-commerce and the conversion of data from legacy formats to XML. Our main sources of revenue are currently from XML-related consulting and the licensing of our software. In fiscal 2001, we derived substantially all of our revenue from consulting and contract XML software development. In fiscal 2002, sales of our products accounted for about 40% of our revenues.

During the year ended June 30, 2002 our operations were funded by a combination of liquidation of investments, license and joint marketing arrangements, the issuance of common stock and sales of products and services. Two customers, iWay Software, and Engineering, Management & Integration Inc., accounted for 70% of fiscal 2002 revenues. Effective June 30, 2002, we discontinued our consulting operations and as a result Engineering, Management & Integration Inc. is no longer a customer. Our largest continuing customer is iWay Software, which accounted for 21% of fiscal 2002 revenues.

About XML

While Hyper Text Markup Language ("HTML") describes the appearance of a web page, XML describes the nature of the data. XML lets businesses structure and exchange information without rewriting their existing systems or adding large amounts of middleware. When XML was first introduced, it appeared as if it might be a document-centric tool to provide structured documents. The rapid development of electronic commerce has created a much broader application of XML as an enabler of infrastructure technology, including SQL or Java.

XML is a standard for specifying a document markup language based on plain-text tags. It provides the key to separating Web content from presentation. When a system receives a page of HTML, it can display the page but it cannot understand what the content means. A page tagged in XML, however, would allow the user to pull specific price and product data out of a Web catalog page. Although Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") was intended to allow trading partners to exchange documents and to send and receive requests quickly and easily, in practice it proved expensive for companies to implement and difficult to get different EDI systems to communicate with each other. XML provides a solution to this problem by providing a medium for businesses to exchange data.

Marketing Strategy

Our marketing message is that we provide data transformation, registry and related capabilities in the form of single-vendor XML middleware software. In order to grow our business, we intend to focus our corporate identity and product solutions in targeted vertical markets including the automotive and healthcare sectors. We intend to use resellers and other channels to distribute our products in other sectors such as travel. Some of the specific marketing initiatives include:

 

*

Streamline delivery systems - While we sell and install our products, we are working to expand our sales channels through systems integrators and independent software vendors that will incorporate our software into their offerings.

 

*

Enhance market awareness - This will include branding, Internet marketing, technology and data alliances to improve our business image with leading industry and technology groups, and expanding our sales capacities.

Target Customers

Our success in discussions with prospective companies leads us to conclude that we should focus our efforts on Global 5000 companies (the 5000 largest companies in the world) since these companies potentially offer the largest returns. Global 5000 companies have complex information technology systems and integration problems that our middleware is well suited to solving. While we have sold directly to end users, we also reach Global 5000 customers by using resellers and systems integrators who have established business relationships with many potential customers. It is not our intention to develop a large implementation workforce since we seek to minimize our infrastructure and focus on our core competency, which is software development.

Corporate relationships

We have agreements for the exchange, development and cross-license of XML and other applications. We consider the creation and maintenance of these relationships to be important to our business development and future success.

 

*

iWay - In May 2001, we entered into an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) contract with iWay Software, a division of Information Builders, Inc. iWay Software and XML Global have co-developed XTE, a web services product that is jointly marketed by iWay and XML Global. We supplemented this agreement with a software license agreement relating to our transformation technology in June 2002.

 

*

Seagull - In April 2002 , we entered into a reseller contract with Seagull Software. Under the terms of the agreement Seagull has the rights to resell, under its own branding, GoXML Transform as a complement to its own Transidiom product. This agreement lasts until July 2003 and can automatically be renewed based on marketplace success.

*

Sun Microsystems - After year-end, in September 2002, we entered into a marketing agreement with Sun Microsystems, Inc. Sun and XML Global will jointly market product to Sun's customers, and work together on joint marketing initiatives.

Standards Associations

We are active in standards associations relating to electronic business. Our memberships comprise:

*

XML EDI. This is a consortium of over 1,500 of the world's leading technology-based companies co-founded and directed by David Webber, one of our Directors. Its purpose is to promote the exchange of information and technology among participants in the XML-EDI industry.

 

*

ebXML. This is an association sponsored by the United Nations and OASIS whose mandate is to develop standards for businesses to use the Internet for the exchange of data and e-commerce and business-to-business transactions using XML. Duane Nickull, our Vice President of Strategic Relationships and Chief Evangelist, is Editor of the Technical Architectural Committee of ebXML.

*

OASIS. OASIS is a non-profit international consortium of users and vendors dedicated to the promotion of open specifications for the exchange of structured data. It is focused on the definition and implementation of XML communication.

Our Products

We believe that two of the key promising applications for XML are business-to-business information exchanges and intra-enterprise application-to-application integration. Our software has relevance in both of these areas.

GoXML Transform

GoXML Transform is ideally suited to electronic business environments, particularly those using EDI (Electronic Data Exchange) and SQL databases, and any other environment in which disparate forms of data need to be transformed for interoperability. One of the difficulties with current EDI systems is the need for very careful mapping of one field to another. With GoXML Transform, XML data mapping can be easily managed with an environment that includes two main components: a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for creating mapping templates, and a server-side transformation engine, both written in Java. In a typical deployment, users will determine which legacy source files require transformation and will create the transformation templates.

GoXML Transform is our most significant product, accounting for over half our product revenues in fiscal 2002. We continue to develop new versions of GoXML Transform to extend its functionality.

XTE

XTE is an XML transformation engine with the potential to unite the operation of many information systems, including the Web and EDI. XTE combines GoXMLTM Transform, our patented high-performance XML transformation engine and iWay's specialized connector technologies for integrating complex IT assets, including over 120 different applications and data sources.

XTE is a 100% JavaTM-based transformation and integration engine for a document-based information exchange. We developed XTE in conjunction with iWay Software, the integration middleware division of Information Builders Inc. XTE accepts and sends documents via IBM MQSeries, HTTP, TCP/IP, email or file systems and provides reusable transformations for application servers, integration brokers and other integration technologies. XTE also lets developers and planners accomplish their integration goals with just two well-known languages: XML, the language of computer interactions, and SQL, the common speech of relational databases.

In association with iWay Software, we continue to develop XTE in parallel with GoXML Transform. While XTE accounted for only a small proportion of our product sales in fiscal 2002, we expect that it will become our second-most popular product in the coming year.

GoXML Registry

GoXML Registry is an enterprise registry platform based on our GoXML DB native XML database, and employs GoXML Transform using commonly accepted standards, protocols and methodologies, including ebXML and UDDI. GoXML Transform Registry provides a modular, scalable platform that facilitates integration with backend systems and systems belonging to partners, suppliers, and customers in a secure and consistent manner.

While we launched GoXML Registry in September 2001, it was only after the end of fiscal 2002 that we generated market interest. We continue to develop the product to extend its feature set.

GoXML Messaging

GoXML™ Messaging delivers and manages ebXML messages. Its Transaction Manager, in tandem with a Persistent Storage Manager, manages delivery of messages even in the event of system failure. It handles the packaging of headers and payloads into ebXML envelopes and the sequencing of multiple messages in the proper order. The Transaction Manager also allows the status of messages to be tracked as they progress through a transaction.

We are only now completing development of GoXML Messaging and accordingly, we did not record any sales in fiscal 2002.

GoXML DB

GoXML DB is a native XML database and query engine which can be deployed either as a stand-alone repository or combined with other GoXML products, such as GoXML Search and GoXML Transform to solve complex business problems. XML documents are stored directly, without the need for data decomposition or reconfiguration.

The GoXML DB server environment contains our core components: a Java Application Program Interface ("API") for public access to the database, the internal Xpath query engine, the StreamStore Index System, and the StreamStore Manager. GoXML DB is 100% Java, making it highly portable and embeddable, and allows multiple, concurrent sessions and session pooling.

We have discontinued development of this product and have entered into a letter of intent with James Tivy, as discussed in Item 1, whereby we will retain an interest in the subsidiary that owns the GoXML DB technology but will no longer control that company.

Sales of the enterprise version of GoXML DB were not significant in fiscal 2002. We have sold a number of copies of GoXML DB as part of XML, as described below.

XML Integration Workbench

XML Integration Workbench combines versions of GoXML Transform, GoXML DB and XMLSpy™ (an XML editor developed by Altova) that can be used in combination to architect and plan data integration and e-business initiatives. We launched XML Integration Workbench in June 2002 and recorded sales in fiscal 2002.

Xtract

Xtract is a Web-based service that requires only Internet access to submit, search, modify, create reports, and alert police to stolen property transactions in real time. It was designed with, and used by, a law enforcement agency. Pawnshop employees enter information into a web browser as property transactions take place. The transaction history can then be reviewed by law enforcement authorities allowing them to identify and recover stolen property and apprehend those involved in crime.

The Xtract stolen property intelligence system delivers three major benefits to the police departments that utilize it and, therefore, to the general public they serve:

 

*

improved property recovery;

 

*

inter-agency collaboration; and

*

resource optimization.

We completed live trials of Xtract in October 2001 and signed our first customer in November 2001. In the last year, we have updated the software to integrate data from multiple jurisdictions and to enhance the reporting abilities in response to customer requests. As described in Item 1, we have entered into a letter of intent to sell Xtract.

Competition

We have a number of competitors that are seeking to provide solutions in different ways. Although many companies claim capability across a wide range of business competencies, most have tailored their products to suite a particular project type, project phase or vertical market.

GoXMLTM Transform and XTE

Competitors for GoXML Transform are sold by Data Junction Corporation, DataMirror Corporation, Infoteria Corporation, Peregrine Systems, Inc., Redix International, Inc., Softshare, Inc., TIE Commerce, Contivo, Inc. and Mercator Software, Inc. Competitors for XTE are sold by Vitria Technology, Inc., WebMethods, Inc., Tibco Software, Inc., SeeBeyond Technology Corporation and Sybase, Inc.

GoXMLTM Registry

Competing registry products for GoXML™ Registry are sold by Tibco Software, Inc. and Oracle Corporation.

GoXML™ Messaging

The market for ebXML compliant messaging products is still developing. Companies currently competing in this arena include Sybase, Inc. and Briyante Software Corp.

GoXMLTM DB

Database products that most closely correspond to GoXML™ DB are sold by Ixiasoft, Excelon Corporation, Neocore, Inc. and Software AG.

Xtract

Products or services that compete with Xtract are sold by Business Watch International Inc. and L.E.A.D.S. (Law Enforcement Automated Database Search) Online. Xtract has been created specifically to serve the needs of law enforcement agencies, while many of the competing products are a subset of pawn shop management and accounting programs.

Intellectual property

We attempt to protect our intellectual property to the greatest extent practical using a combination of patents, licenses, trademarks and other methods. We summarize below the steps taken to date and the corresponding limitations.

Patents and Licenses

We have applied for a 51-point patent covering the contextual search aspects of our GoXML search engine. We hold two US patents in respect of GoXML Transform, the first of which is for an algorithm for fixed structured information processing that implements a high performance means of processing business transaction content allowing simple rule driven scripts to perform otherwise very complex manipulations. The patent also includes the mapping structure and syntax descriptions. The second GoXML Transform-related patent, which also relates to GoXML Registry, is for the use of Internet-based registry dictionary content that enhances the functionality of the Transformation algorithm process. This patent also provides assistance to end users during the process of creating business transaction mappings.

Trademarks

We have been granted a US trademark for GoXML and have applied to the US Patent and Trademark Office to register XML Global as a trademark. We are seeking to protect these trademarks in other world jurisdictions.

URLs

We have registered our key Internet URLs including xmlglobal.com and GoXML.com and review these registrations on a regular basis to ensure that they remain current and in good standing.

Limitations of Intellectual Property Protection

No assurance can be given that any patent will be issued or that the scope of any patent protection will exclude competitors or that any patent, if issued, will be held valid if subsequently challenged.

While we have applied for registration of trademarks and registered domain names in an effort to protect them, we cannot be sure of the nature or extent of the protection afforded, since trademark registration does not assure any enforceable rights under many circumstances and there exists significant uncertainty surrounding legal protections of domain names.

In addition, we try to protect our software, to the extent not patentable, by registering copyrights of the source code. However, there can be no assurance that any steps that we take in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary rights or independent third parties developing functionally equivalent products. Despite our precautions, unauthorized parties may attempt to engineer, reverse engineer, copy, or obtain and use our products or other information.

Although we believe that our products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that an infringement claim will not be asserted against us in the future. The prosecution or defense of any intellectual property litigation can be extremely expensive and would place a material burden upon our working capital.

Research and development

We have 24 full time equivalent employees devoted to software research and development and Website development. In the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, we expended approximately $1,904,400 and $1,724,000 respectively, for research and development costs related to our products.

Employees

We now have 40 full time employees, 34 of whom are located at our principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia, and six who are located in various cities throughout Canada and the United States.

Cost of Compliance with Environmental Laws

We did not incur any separately identifiable costs to comply with environmental laws.

Item 2. Description of Property

We maintain our corporate headquarters in Vancouver, Canada, and a sales office in New York City. The Vancouver lease agreement is for approximately 8,100 square feet of office space and expires in 2005. The New York lease is for approximately 2,500 square feet and expires in December 2002. We also have geographically dispersed employees who work out of home offices.

The Company owns or leases a variety of computers and other computer equipment for its operational needs. Over the past two years the Company has significantly upgraded and expanded its computers and related equipment in order to increase efficiency, enhance reliability, and provide the necessary base for business expansion.

The Company believes that its facilities and equipment are suitable and adequate for the business of the Company as presently conducted.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

At the date of this report, there are no pending legal proceedings in which we are a party and we are not aware of any threatened legal proceedings, except as follows:

We have been named as a party defendant in a civil action filed on February 5, 2002, in the Federal Court of Canada, in Toronto, Ontario, by Datamirror Corporation, as plaintiff, alleging a claim of trademark infringement over the Company's use of the trademark "GoXML Transform Server." We have reached a tentative settlement with DataMirror that provides, among other things, that DataMirror will discontinue its lawsuit and that we will no longer use the trademark "GoXML Transform Server".

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Trading Information

Since November 2000, our common stock has traded on the Over-the-Counter Market and has been quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol "XMLG."

The following table sets forth the high and low prices for our common stock for each quarter since November 2000. The prices presented below are bid and ask prices, which represented price between broker-dealers and do not include retail markups and markdowns or any commission to the broker. The prices do not necessarily reflect actual transactions.

On September 26, 2002, the bid and ask prices of our common stock as quoted on the Bulletin Board were 0.19 and 0.205, respectively.

Factors we discuss in this form, including the many risks associated with an investment in us, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. Also, because of the relatively low price of our common stock, many brokerage firms may not effect transactions in the common stock.

In addition, our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Commission regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Those disclosure rules applicable to "penny stocks" require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a "penny stock" not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized disclosure document prepared by the Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in "penny stocks" can be very risky and that the investor's salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in "penny stocks," to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson with whom the investor is working and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the "penny stock" is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares.

Holders

As of June 30, 2002, the Company had approximately 108 shareholders of record. This does not include shareholders who held stock in accounts at broker-dealers.

Dividends

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock since inception and do not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUE. Revenue primarily consists of fees received from the sale of e-business solutions and XML-related consulting services. Revenue was $889,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, compared to $1,235,900 for the previous fiscal year. Software and on-line service sales accounted for about 40% of revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. In the corresponding prior year, all sales were for consulting services or custom software development. Revenue decreased from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002 primarily because we had one large consulting contract with a Korean net market in fiscal 2001 that we were unable to completely replace with new product sales. Effective June 30, 2002, we closed our consulting group, which was largely focused on providing software architecture services to government. Revenue relating to government consulting operations represented about $435,000 of our fiscal 2002 revenue and $142,800 of our fiscal 2001 revenue.

COST OF REVENUE. Cost of revenue includes salaries to employees and contractor fees that can be directly attributable to project revenue earned in the period, and license fees for software products that we license from third parties. The cost of revenue in the year ended June 30, 2002 was $302,900, compared to $957,800 for the previous fiscal year. The proportionate decline in the cost of revenue in the current fiscal year, relative to revenues, reflects the greater proportion of software and on-line service revenues in the current period. Our own software products and on-line service have only a nominal cost of revenue. The cost of revenue associated with government consulting operations represented about $287,000 of our fiscal 2002 and $117,500 of our fiscal 2001 cost of revenue.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Product and content development costs include expenses we incur to develop our technology. These costs consist primarily of salaries and fees paid to employees and consultants to develop and maintain our software. For the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, these costs were $1,724,000 and $1,904,400 respectively. The decreased expenditures in the year just ended reflect decreased staffing levels following completion of the main development cycle. We expect that future development efforts will be of a more incremental nature as we refine our product offerings to address market requirements.

SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Marketing, sales and client services costs include expenses we incur to obtain and maintain client relationships. These costs include fees paid to contractors and consultants, related travel and incidental costs, and advertising and promotion costs. For the year ended June 30, 2002, sales and marketing expenses were $1,121,400, up from $963,500 in the year ended June 30, 2001. The increase is due to the addition of staff and sales initiatives undertaken in the current year.

CONSULTING EXPENSES. Consulting expenses include salaries and travel costs that relate to consulting services, but are not directly attributable to the consulting revenue earned. For the year ended June 30, 2002, consulting expenses were $303,000, compared to $46,700 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The increase is due to the addition of staff and travel costs. We discontinued our consulting activities effective June 30, 2002 and laid off or reassigned our consulting staff.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, contractor fees and related costs for general corporate functions, including travel, occupancy, accounting and legal expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2002, general and administrative expenses were $1,774,000, up from $1,282,100 in the previous year. The increase reflects an increase in staff early in the fiscal year, investor relations expense, travel costs and office rent expense.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Depreciation and amortization expense reflects depreciation of computer hardware, software, equipment, leasehold improvements, patents and intellectual property over their estimated useful lives of between two and five years. Depreciation and amortization expense was $538,600 and $519,900 respectively for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. The Company reports the financial impact of stock options using APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, we record the fair value of stock options granted to non-employees as an operating expense based on the fair value of the options at the date the services were performed. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes method. During the year ended June 30, 2002 we recognized expense of $20,275 of which $19,000 related to the repricing of options granted in a prior period. In the prior year, we recorded an expense of $24,500.

LOSS ON WRITE OFF OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company wrote off the cost of intellectual property associated with GoXML DB, which totaled $281,900. While we have sold copies of GoXML DB, we concluded that our efforts were better expended developing our other products. In April 2002, we entered into a letter of intent with James Tivy, formerly an employee. Under the letter of intent, we converted a portion of our common stock equity interest in the company that holds the GoXML DB intellectual property into a preferred stock holding with a redemption value of $575,000. During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company wrote off the cost of intellectual property associated with the PenOp agreement, which totaled $345,800.

INTEREST INCOME. During the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company earned interest income of $41,900 and $396,900 respectively. Interest income has been earned on funds received from private equity placements.

FINANCING EXPENSE. On June 10,2002, the Company entered into a short-term note payable with a third party individual. The note payable contained a conversion feature allowing the individual to convert the outstanding balance due, plus a 10% financing fee, into the Company's common stock at any time at $0.05 per share. Effective June 25, 2002, in accordance with the terms of the note payable, the individual exercised the conversion feature, and the Company committed to issue 2,200,000 shares of common stock.

The Company provided the conversion feature at a significant discount. As this note payable and stock conversion constituted a financing transaction, finance expense of $252,000 has been recorded for the year ending June 30, 2002, which represents the amount that the estimated fair value of the shares at the date of conversion exceeded the conversion price of $0.05.

Additionally, the Company incurred $10,000 of financing expense relating to an equity transaction that was never consummated.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Although the Company incurred a consolidated loss during the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, it recorded $172,400 and $318,600 respectively of income tax expense relating to certain income attributable to taxing jurisdictions in Canada. Increases in deferred tax assets resulting from the foreign tax credits generated by these taxes have been offset completely by similar increases in the valuation allowance applied to the Company's net income tax expense or benefit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our independent auditor's report states that our consolidated financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2002 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to our financial statements, we have incurred losses since inception and have an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To date, we have experienced negative cash flows from operating activities. For the year ended June 30, 2002, net cash used in operating activities was $3,241,700 and was primarily attributable to our net loss of $5,573,200. The net loss for the year was partially offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization of $538,600, stock based compensation of $20,300, the loss on the write off of intellectual property of $281,900, the loss on the write off of fixed assets of $3,700, expenses paid through the issuance of common stock of $499,000, a financing expense of $252,000 paid through the issuance of common stock and a net cash outflow of $736,100 with respect to working capital changes. For the year ended June 30, 2002, net cash used in operating activities was therefore $3,241,700. In the year ended June 30, 2001 $4,051,100 was used in operating activities.

For the year ended June 30, 2002, net cash from investing activities was $911,000. We spent $45,500 on computer hardware, software and equipment, $21,700 on patent and trademark applications, $1,900 on intellectual property, and received proceeds of $980,000 on short-term investments. The computer hardware and software purchases largely related to server upgrades and computers used by programmers. In the year ended June 30, 2001, net cash used in investing activities was $603,500.

For the year ended June 30, 2002, financing activities generated $127,600 of cash. We raised $100,000 from the issuance of a note payable, $31,600 from the private placement of equity securities and incurred $4,000 in deferred issue costs. In the year ended June 30, 2001, financing activities provided $307,000, relating to the private placements of equity securities.

Changes in exchange rates had a net effect of decreasing our cash balance by $1,900 in the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to a increase of $400 in the prior year.

As of June 30, 2002, we had no contractual capital commitments outstanding.

We have incurred costs to design, develop and implement search engine and electronic commerce applications and to grow our business. As a result, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in each quarter since we commenced operations. As of June 30, 2002 we had an accumulated deficit of $11,997,900.

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the placement of equity securities. In the year ended June 30, 2002, we received net proceeds from equity issuances of $31,600 and proceeds from a note payable of $100,000 which was converted to equity during fiscal 2002. We did not receive any proceeds during the year ended June 30, 2001. As of June 30, 2002, we had $369,600 in cash and cash equivalents and no short-term investments, compared to $2,574,600 and $980,000 respectively at June 30, 2001.

Our cash at June 30, 2002 is not sufficient to fund operations through the end of fiscal 2003 based on historical operating performance. In order for the Company to maintain its operations it will have to seek additional funding, generate additional sales or reduce its operating expenses, or some combination of these. At current and planned expenditure rates, taking into consideration cash received from the first part of the Paradigm financing, current reserves are sufficient to fund operations through November 2002.

<R>
In August, we closed the first part of a financing funded
by Paradigm Millennium Fund, LP, described in Item 12. This first part of the financing comprised the issuance of common stock and warrants for net proceeds of $915,000. Before the end of September, we expect that the second part of the Paradigm Millennium Fund, LP financing will contribute a further $915,000 of cash. On October 1, 2002, Paradigm funded an additional $300,000 and requested a 30-day extension to complete the funding of the remaining $615,000.  If we are successful in closing the second stage of the Paradigm financing, then we will have cash reserves sufficient to fund operations past June 2003. We expect to incur offering costs of about $30,000 for total net proceeds from this financing of $1,800,000.
</R>

In November 2001 and April 2002, we reduced our staff to match our available resources to our immediate needs. In April 2002, certain of our employees and officers agreed to defer compensation or take stock in lieu of cash compensation. The salary deferral, which was in effect from April 2002 through September 2002, has been recorded as an accrued liability in the financial statements as of June 30, 2002. We are continually evaluating our operating plan in light of prevailing market conditions, sales forecasts and personnel needs and will make those changes to our operations that are necessary to extend the life of our cash resources. To date we have postponed planned hires, not replaced certain staff that have left, canceled or not implemented advertising and promotional campaigns, and generally limited discretionary expenses. Where practical, we will continue to limit our expenditures but we believe that our scale of operations for the next three to six months will be substantially similar to that in effect at June 30, 2002.It is our intention to improve our liquidity by focusing on increased sales rather than by reducing expenses.

We have discontinued development of GoXML™ DB and have entered into a letter of intent with James Tivy that will allow us to retain an ownership interest in this technology without being responsible to fund ongoing development. We discuss this arrangement further in Item 1. We do not expect that this transaction will generate cash in the short- or medium-term, if at all.

We have also entered in to a letter of intent with SysCon Justice Systems Ltd. relating to the sale of our Xtract technology and related customer relationship in exchange for cash in two equal installments over six months totaling $160,000 plus ongoing royalty payments. This proposed transaction is also discussed in further detail in Item 1.

By reducing the scope of our operations we are better able to focus our efforts and resources on our core products, particularly GoXML Transform. We are increasingly applying our efforts to marketing and sales and expect that most of our new hires in the next year will be for sales positions. We are continuing to develop strategic alliances with larger companies that can sell our products to their established customer bases. These alliances include iWay, Seagull Software and Sun Microsystems.

In the event that future operating cash flows do not meet all our cash requirements, we will need additional financing. Success in raising additional financing is dependent on the Company's ability to demonstrate that it can fulfill its business strategy to sell XML-based e-commerce solutions. Should the Company need additional financing through debt or equity placements, there is no assurance that such financing will be available, if at all, at terms acceptable to the Company. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of equity securities, stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest and these securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of the common stock. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt, we may be subject to certain limitations on our operations, including limitations on the payment of dividends. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our expansion, successfully promote our brand name, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to generate significant revenue is uncertain. We incurred net losses of approximately $5,573,200 during the year ended June 30, 2002. We expect losses from operations and negative cash flow to continue for the foreseeable future since we have not yet built a sufficient sales network to support our operations. The rate at which these losses will be incurred may increase from current levels. If our revenue does not increase and if our spending levels are not adjusted accordingly, we may not generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability, which would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

Our working capital requirements depend on numerous factors. We have experienced increased expenditures since inception, consistent with growth in our operations and staffing, and expect that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future. We anticipate incurring additional expenses to increase our marketing and sales efforts, for software and infrastructure development. Additionally, we will continue to evaluate possible investments in businesses, products and technologies, the expansion of our marketing and sales programs and brand promotions. If we experience a shortfall in revenue in relation to expenses, or if our expenses precede increased revenue, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Some of our revenues are earned, and a substantial portion of our payroll and other expenses are paid, outside the United States in currencies other than US dollars. Because our financial results are reported in US dollars, they are affected by changes in the value of the various foreign currencies in which we make payments in relation to the US dollar. We do not cover known or anticipated currency fluctuation exposures through foreign currency exchange option or forward contracts. The primary currency for which we have foreign currency exchange rate exposure is the Canadian dollar. Our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the financial statements. We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, accounting for impairment of long-lived assets, and accounting for research and development expenses.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when earned, in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Interpretive Guidance on Revenue Recognition. Royalties based upon licensees' revenues or usage are recognized as licensees' revenues are earned or usage occurs. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Revenue attributable to significant undelivered elements is recognized over the contract period as elements are delivered. Revenues from fixed-price service contracts and software development contracts requiring significant production, modification, or customization are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue from service contracts that are based on time incurred is recognized as work is performed.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. Long-lived assets such as intellectual property are recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be recoverable. Should the Company determine that a long-lived asset is impaired, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Research and Development Costs - The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. SFAS No. 86 specifies that costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product should be charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs should be capitalized until the product is available for release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when the technological feasibility of a product is established. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products is reached shortly before the products are released. Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established are not material, and accordingly, the Company expenses all research and development costs when incurred.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The new standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Consequently, the Company will apply the new rules beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Under the new rules, goodwill, as well as intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives, will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other tangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Currently, the Company has no intangible assets that are categorized as having indefinite lives, does not anticipate any changes in the estimated useful lives of its intangibles, and does not expect a material financial statement impact upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. As used in SFAS No. 143, a legal obligation is an obligation that a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statue, ordinance, or written or oral contract or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine or promissory estoppel. The Company had no transactions during fiscal 2002 that would fall under the guidance of SFAS No. 143.

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The new standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; as such, the Company will apply the new rules beginning in fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and resolves significant implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 144 on its operating results and financial condition.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002; as such, the Company will apply the new rules beginning in fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 145 rescinds or amends various standards on accounting for debt extinguishments, intangible assets of motor carriers, and certain lease transactions. Additional technical corrections were made to various APB Opinions and FASB Statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 145 on its operating results and financial condition.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The new standard is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002; as such, the Company will apply the new rules beginning in fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. Exit or disposal costs that do not involve a discontinued operation shall be included in income from continuing operations, while such costs that do not involve a discontinued operation shall be included in results from discontinued operations. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 146 on its operating results and financial condition.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders
XML-Global Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of XML-Global Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of XML-Global Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

<R>\
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

XML-Global Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2002 and 2001

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN

Organization

The Company, which is a Colorado corporation, has two active subsidiaries, XML-Technologies, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and XML-Global Research, Inc. (a British Columbia, Canada corporation). The Company conducts most of its business activities through these subsidiaries. During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company also conducted business through LE Informatics, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Xtract Informatics Inc. (a British Columbia, Canada corporation). The Company and its subsidiaries engage in the business of developing Internet-based software applications using XML (eXtensible Markup Language). XML is an abbreviated version of SGML (Standard General Markup Language), the international standard for defining description of the structure and content of electronic documents.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred significant losses since inception. Accordingly, the Company's ability to fulfill its business strategy and to ultimately achieve profitable operations is dependent on its capacity to execute its business plan and, if necessary, obtain additional financing or explore merger opportunities.

In an effort to generate revenues sufficient to fund future operations, the Company is not only actively marketing various software applications and consulting services, but is also developing new products and forming strategic business alliances. Refer to Note 2 for a description of the Company's software licensing agreement entered into during the year. The Company's success is, however, dependent on the extent to which XML-based technologies are adopted by the business community, and there is no assurance that the Company will realize increased revenues.

In order to make best use of the Company's remaining resources, management has focused on product development in two primary areas, business-to-business information exchanges and intra-enterprise application-to-application integration software. The Company believes that the best business opportunities lie in areas related to data transformation, registry and messaging. As a result, the Company has signed a letter of intent to sell the intellectual property related to the development of GoXML DB (refer to Note 3) and no longer provides government consulting. Both activities historically had a negative impact on cash flow since the acquisition of GoXML DB.

The Company has reduced its staff to match its available resources to immediate needs. In April 2002, certain employees and officers agreed to defer compensation or take stock in lieu of cash compensation. The salary deferral, which was in effect from April 2002 through September 2002, has been recorded as an accrued liability in the financial statements as of June 30, 2002. The Company is continually evaluating its operating plan in light of prevailing market conditions, sales forecasts and personnel needs and will make those changes to its operations that are necessary to extend the life of its cash resources. To date the Company has postponed planned hires, not replaced certain staff that have left, canceled or not implemented advertising and promotional campaigns, and generally limited discretionary expenses. Where practical, the Company will continue to limit its expenditures but believes that its scale of operations for the next three to six months will be substantially similar to that in effect at June 30, 2002. It is the Company's intention to improve its liquidity by focusing on increased sales rather than by reducing expenses.

<R>
Since operating cash flows have not met all the Company's cash requirements, management is actively pursuing additional financing to fund future operations. Success in raising additional financing is dependent on the Company's ability to demonstrate that it can fulfill its business strategy to sell XML-based e-commerce solutions. The Company has begun to demonstrate the viability of the XML technology and the success of it business strategy through the signing of a long-term contract with a major reseller of software products (refer to Note 2). Additionally, subsequent to year end, the Company entered an agreement with Paradigm Millennium Fund, LP whereby the Company will issue stock and stock purchase warrants for net proceeds after offering costs of about $1,800,000 (refer to Note 13). The Company received half this amount on August 23, 2002, an additional $300,000 on October 1, 2002, with Paradigm requesting an additional 30 days to pay the balance. Also subsequent to year-end, the Company has entered into a letter of intent to sell its Xtract technology and customer relationships to SysCon Justice Systems Ltd. for C$500,000 (approximately $320,000 in US dollars at current exchange rates) over five years. (refer to Note 13). Management believes that, if received, the additional funds will allow the Company to operate at its current level at least through June 2003.
</R>

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. No adjustments or presentation modifications have been made for potential effects on financial position or results of operations, should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of XML-Global Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned US and Canadian subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash on deposit with banks and money market funds.

Investments in Securities Available for Sale - Investments in debt and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value, adjusted for other than temporary declines in value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the determination of comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company considers trade accounts receivable not collected within 90 days from the date of invoice to be uncollectible. Accordingly, all trade accounts receivable that are outstanding greater than 90 days have been recorded within the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable outstanding less than 90 days are also evaluated for potential doubtful amounts, and reserves are established accordingly. As of June 30, 2002 and 2001, the allowance for doubtful accounts was nil and $150,700, respectively.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to five years.

Intangible Assets - Intellectual property rights as of June 30, 2002, consist primarily of the rights to certain technology known as "ExpressXchg", subsequently commercialized as GoXML Transform, which were acquired in connection with the business combination with DataXchg, Inc. in the 2000 fiscal year. The recorded net value of the rights is $500,000 as of June 30, 2002. All rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over four years.

During the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company determined that certain intellectual property would no longer provide continuing utility to the Company, as the Company has focused its development and marketing efforts on data transformation and e-business integration. Consequently, in fiscal years 2002 and 2001, the Company wrote off acquired intellectual property relating to GoXML DB (Note 3) and certain transaction authentication with net book values of $281,949 and $345,833, respectively.

Legal costs associated with obtaining and protecting trademarks and patents are capitalized and, when perfected, amortized over five years. As of June 30, 2002, two patents were perfected and amortization expense was recorded accordingly.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets - The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired and not recoverable. Adjustments are made if the sum of the expected future undiscounted operating cash flows is less than the carrying amount.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when earned, in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Interpretive Guidance on Revenue Recognition." Royalties based upon licensees' revenues or usage are recognized as licensees' revenues are earned or usage occurs. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Revenue attributable to significant undelivered elements is recognized over the contract period as elements are delivered. Revenues from fixed-price service contracts and software development contracts requiring significant production, modification, or customization are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue from service contracts that are based on time incurred is recognized as work is performed.

The Company entered into a software-licensing agreement under which the customer receives the exclusive right to include XML's technology in their suite of products. The term of the contract was for three years under which the Company received an up-front payment of $500,000. Annual royalty payments are based upon a percentage of sales for the customer's products for which XML's technology is embedded, however the Company will receive minimum royalty payments of $250,000 per year over the three-year period. Revenue from this contract, including the initial payment of $500,000, will be recorded ratably over the three-year period. Should the royalty payments based upon sales exceed the minimum payments on an annual basis, the Company will record those amounts as earned. The ratable amount of revenues recognized under this contract since inception of the contract through June 30, 2002 was $9,600 while actual revenues earned in the period were $20,000. The Company does not believe that it is currently probable that payments under the license agreement will exceed $250,000 for the contract year and accordingly recognized the lower amount of $9,600. These amounts are shown as unearned revenues on the consolidated balance sheet.

Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, does not materially affect the Company.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax purposes at enacted tax rates. Deferred tax amounts represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company files a consolidated tax return in the United States. It files separate tax returns for each of its Canadian subsidiaries in Canada. Additionally, the Canadian subsidiaries are subject to provincial income taxes in Canada.

Foreign Currency Translation - All asset and liability accounts of Canadian operations are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect at June 30, 2002. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Earnings Per Share - The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share.

Segment Information - Pursuant to SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Company has disclosed information on revenues earned and long-lived assets located in geographic areas, as well as data about major customers. SFAS No. 131 disclosure requirements with regards to segment reporting for various products and services are not applicable, as management believes that, according to SFAS No. 131, the Company has only one segment.

New Accounting Standards - In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset. The new standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Consequently, the Company will apply the new rules beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Under the new rules, goodwill, as well as intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives, will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other tangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Currently, the Company has no intangible assets that are categorized as having indefinite lives, does not anticipate any changes in the estimated useful lives of its intangibles, and does not expect a material financial statement impact upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. As used in SFAS No. 143, a legal obligation is an obligation that a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statue, ordinance, or written or oral contract or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine or promissory estoppel. The Company had no transactions during fiscal 2002 that would fall under the guidance of SFAS No. 143.

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The new standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; as such, the Company will apply the new rules beginning in fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and resolves significant implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 144 on its operating results and financial condition.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002; as such, the Company will apply the new rules beginning in fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 145 rescinds or amends various standards on accounting for debt extinguishments, intangible assets of motor carriers, and certain lease transactions. Additional technical corrections were made to various APB Opinions and FASB Statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 145 on its operating results and financial condition.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The new standard is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002; as such, the Company will apply the new rules beginning in fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. Exit or disposal costs that do not involve a discontinued operation shall be included in income from continuing operations, while such costs that do not involve a discontinued operation shall be included in results from discontinued operations. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 146 on its operating results and financial condition.

NOTE 3 - BLUESTREAM DATABASE ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF
                 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

On January 17, 2001, the Company, through its subsidiary, 620486 BC Ltd., acquired the issued shares of Bluestream Database Software Corp. ("Bluestream"), a British Columbia, Canada corporation. Consideration comprised $243,000 in cash and promissory notes, shares of preferred stock of 620486 BC Ltd. convertible to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock and assumption of $82,000 in liabilities due to the shareholder of Bluestream Database Software Corp. The Company accounted for the 100,000 shares of preferred stock of 620486 BC Ltd. as minority interest in 620486 BC Ltd. The total purchase amounted to $438,300 including acquisition costs of $13,300. BlueStream had developed native XML database technology that the Company markets as GoXML™ DB. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. Operations of Bluestream prior to the acquisition were not considered significant.

In April 2002, in order to focus its efforts, the Company decided to discontinue its development of GoXML™ DB and reorganized the capital structure of the companies holding the GoXML™ DB technology so that James Tivy, a former employee of the Company, could acquire the technology. As part of this reorganization, the Company received a combination of preferred shares and common shares in the new entity holding the intellectual property. It is planned that James Tivy will subscribe for shares in the new company and assume control. The proposed transaction closed in September 2002. In view of the uncertain market prospect for GoXML™ DB and the Company's decision to discontinue development of GoXML™ DB, the Company wrote off its investment in the intellectual property and plans to ascribe no value to the equity interest in the newly formed corporation. Additionally, the preferred shares of stock in 620486 BC Ltd. held by Mr. Tivy were reclassified from Minority Interest to the equity section to better reflect the holder's ownership interest.

The Company has approximately $10.7 million of US net operating loss carryforwards, which will begin to expire in 2018. Uncertainty exists surrounding realization of the benefit of the loss carryforwards; and, accordingly, the Company has recorded a $4,363,698 valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Under existing tax laws, undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not subject to US tax until distributed as dividends. Currently, the Company's Canadian subsidiaries have no undistributed earnings. In the event such earnings accumulate, they would be considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and no deferred income taxes would be provided on such amounts.

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Denominator - weighted average number of shares outstanding

27,926,765 

27,520,781 

As described in Note 7 and Note 8, during fiscal 2002, the Company granted stock options and warrants to purchase up to 1,963,800 shares of common stock. These shares were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because their effects were antidilutive.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Preferred Stock

The stock was trading at a price of $0.41 per share, and his exercise prices ranged from $0.26 to $0.40 per share, resulting in an issuance of 4,036 shares and stock-based compensation expense of $1,275.

5)

Effective February 20, 2002, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to Joshua Sall and 100,000 shares of common stock to Consensus Investments Limited in consideration of services provided to the Company.

Effective February 25, March 1 and March 14, 2002, the Company entered into agreements with Brown and Lampe Wertpapier Vermittlungsgesellschaft mbH which provided that Browne and Lampe would introduce purchases of up to 3,000,000 units (each unit comprising one share of common stock offered under the provisions of Regulation S and one share purchase warrant) in stages. The first stage provided for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 units at a discount of 30% to the prevailing trading price with a minimum of $0.20 per unit and the warrant price set at $0.60. Subsequent to entering into this agreement, the Company's stock price dropped and the Company agreed to issue units at $0.135 plus a half warrant at $0.60. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has issued 212,300 units at prices between $0.135 and $0.196 per share, and 197,400 warrants exercisable at $0.60. The net proceeds received from this agreement at June 30, 2002 are $31,600. In July 2002, the Company issued a further 69,000 shares of common stock to Huntleigh at $0.12 per share for net proceeds of $8,452.

In conjunction with the Brown & Lampe financing, the Company commenced trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in March 2002. Trading to date has not been significant.

7)

Effective May 3, 2002, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to MarketByte, LLC, in consideration of its services to the Company. The services were valued based on the fair market value of the stock of $0.30 per share.

Effective May 3 and May 23, 2002, the Company issued 250,000 and 200,000 shares of common stock respectively to Privet Financial, LLC, in consideration of its services to the Company. The services were valued based on the fair market value of the stock of $0.30 and $0.23 per share.

9)

On June 10, 2002, the Company entered into a short-term note payable with a third party individual. The note payable contained a conversion feature allowing the individual to convert the outstanding balance due, plus a 10% financing fee, into the Company's common stock at any time at $0.05 per share. Effective June 25, 2002, in accordance with the terms of the note payable, the individual exercised the conversion feature, and the Company committed to issue 2,200,000 shares of common stock.

The Company provided the conversion feature at a significant discount. As this note payable and stock conversion constituted a financing transaction, finance expense of $252,000 has been recorded for the year ending June 30, 2002, which represents the amount that the estimated fair value of the shares at the date of conversion exceeded the conversion price of $0.05.

Convertible Stock

As part of the acquisition of Bluestream Database Software Corp. (refer to Note 3), 620486 BC Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued 100,000 shares of stock that is convertible to shares of the Company's common stock at the option of the holder. The Company originally accounted for the 100,000 shares of convertible stock of 620486 BC Ltd. as a minority interest in 620486 BC Ltd. Subsequently, the Company entered into an agreement to allow Mr. James Tivy to acquire the intellectual property of Bluestream Database Software Corp.; however, Mr. Tivy maintains ownership and conversion rights of the 100,000 shares of stock. Accordingly, the convertible shares of stock held by Mr. Tivy were reclassified from Minority Interest to the equity section to better reflect the holder's ownership interest.

Stock Awards to Officers and Employees

The Company has agreed to issue up to 1,412,800 shares of common stock to officers and employees as bonus compensation or in lieu of cash payments otherwise due. The payments relating to time release bonuses and compensation in lieu of cash are dependent on continued employment with the Company. The performance-based bonuses are contingent on sales staff meeting specific sales objectives.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had accrued $64,893 in respect of the stock issuance obligation as none of the stock had been issued.

NOTE 8 - 1999 STOCK PLAN

On October 19, 1999, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan (the "1999 Stock Plan") to provide incentives to employees, directors and consultants. At the Company's annual general meeting, held May 14, 2001, the Company's shareholders approved an increase in the number of options under the 1999 Stock Plan from 4,000,000 to 6,000,000. Accordingly the Company has reserved a total of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance with the maximum term of options being ten years. The Board of Directors has the exclusive power over the granting of options and their vesting provisions. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has granted 5,207,300 options to employees, directors and consultants, 1,139,500 of which have been forfeited and 22,500 of which have been exercised. The options have a seven-year term and typically vest over three years. At June 30, 2002, 792,700 options remain available for future issuance.

On September 5, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a reduction in the exercise price of substantially all options granted prior to that date. Stock options granted at prices between $0.37 and $3.00 were repriced to between $0.35 and $1.50. The trading price at that date was $0.31 per share. The reduction in the exercise price of these options will have two effects on the Company's results of operations:

 

*

The Company has recognized a one-time expense of $19,000 relating to the increase in the fair value of options granted to contractors and non-elected advisory board members for which an expense was recognized in prior periods.

 

*

Option awards to employees and directors, for which no expense was previously recognized, are now subject to variable accounting from the date of the modification. As a result, the excess of the Company's stock price over the option exercise price, as determined from time to time, will be expensed over the then remaining life of the options. Since the Company's stock price at June 30, 2002 was less than the exercise price of the options, there was no expense adjustment required in the current period.

A summary of the status of the Plan during fiscal 2002, with comparative figures for fiscal 2001, is as follows:

The Company applies the provision of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations to account for its stock-based awards. Accordingly, costs for employee stock options or issuance of shares is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company's common stock at the measurement date over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. The cost for the issuance of options to non-employees is based on the fair value of the options granted at the date the services were performed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of options granted to consultants recognized during fiscal 2002 was $19,000, compared to $20,496 in the prior year.

SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires disclosure of the pro forma effect of applying the fair value method of accounting for stock options issued to employees. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to compute estimated fair value, based on the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate

5.7%

Dividend yield rate

-%

Price volatility

159%

Weighted average expected life of options

3 years

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation. FASB Interpretation No. 44 clarifies that non-employee members of an entity's Board of Directors do not meet the definition of an employee, in which case the requirements of SFAS No. 123 must be applied. However, an exception is made to require the application of APB Opinion No. 25 to stock compensation granted to a non-employee director for services provided as a director if the director was (a) elected by stockholders or (b) appointed to a board position that will be filled by stockholder election when the existing term expires.

The pro forma effect of applying the fair value method of accounting for options issued to employees and directors results in a $225,200 and a $567,600 increase in net loss and a $0.01 and a $0.02 increase in net loss per share for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

NOTE 9 - CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, securities available for sale, and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments with major US and Canadian banks and a US brokerage firm. Cash deposited with US banks is insured up to $100,000. Cash deposited with Canadian banks are insured up to C$60,000. Securities, mutual funds, and other investments maintained with a US brokerage firm are insured up to certain limits. The Company's investments may exceed these limits at times.

The Company extends credit to customers based on evaluation of customers' financial condition and credit history. Collateral is generally not required. Customers include US, Canadian, and European entities engaged in e-commerce and software development.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable and payable, and accrued liabilities all approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Investments in securities available for sale are reported at fair value.

NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Paradigm Millennium Fund, LP and Vertaport, Inc.

As part of a series of related transactions with Paradigm Millennium Fund, LP (Paradigm), a Delaware limited partnership, the Company will issue stock and warrants to Paradigm in exchange for cash and intellectual property. The transaction will be completed in three stages.

<R>

 

1.

On August 23, 2002, Paradigm purchased 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Class A Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $1,000,000. Subtracted from this amount was a placement agent's fee and non-accountable expense allowance of $85,000.

2.

Upon delivery of a legal opinion related to the intellectual property described in item 3 below, but in no event later than September 30, 2002, Paradigm is to purchase an additional 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Class A Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. Subtracted from this amount will be a placement agent's fee and non-accountable expense allowance in the amount of $85,000.  On October 1, 2002, Paradigm paid an additional $300,000 and requested and additional 30 days within which to complete the funding of the remaining balance in the amount of $615,000.

 

3.

On August 23, 2002, the Company also agreed to purchase certain intangible assets from Vertaport, Inc. including technology, software, documentation, contracts and licenses. In particular the Company agreed to acquire Vertaport's XML-based VertaCom™ platform which allows clients to universally translate, transform, and transmit data from multiple sources as well as take advantage of extensive data management reporting and administration tools. Vertaport's VertaCom technology is complementary with the Company's XML middleware products. At the date of acquisition, VertaCom was not a commercially viable product without further development. Consequently the purchase price of 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock, Class A Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 7,000,000 share of Common Stock at $0.50 per share and Class B Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share will be recorded as In-Process Research and Development upon consummation of the transaction. Based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock and warrants, we estimate a charge to earnings of approximately $2.9 million.

   

As part of this transaction, Vertaport, Inc. is to provide the Company with a legal opinion confirming the validity and enforceability of its technological assets, intellectual property rights and trade secrets and the legal capacity of Vertaport, Inc. to convey such rights and assets free and clear of liens or claims of third parties. Additionally, Paradigm Group LLP (an Illinois limited liability partnership) has agreed to indemnify the Company against any shortcomings in the legal opinion to be provided by Vertaport, Inc.  As of the date of this amended report, Vertaport has not completed the delivery of a legal opinion that conforms to the requirements of our agreement.

</R>

The Class A Warrants provide for the purchase of up to 13,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share until December 31, 2005. We estimate that legal fees and other financing costs will be approximately $30,000 for aggregate net proceeds of $1,800,000.We have agreed to undertake reasonable efforts to register shares of Common Stock and the shares underlying the Class A Warrants by October 23, 2002. Paradigm has agreed not to dispose of Securities (shares of common stock or warrants) for the 90 day period following the effective date of the Registration Statement, and thereafter not to dispose of more than 25% of all of the Securities during each 90-day period, determined without accumulation.

Xtract Technology

On August 14, 2002, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell the Xtract technology to Syscon Justice Systems Ltd. (a Canadian company) for two cash installments aggregating $160,000 plus royalties of at least C$50,000 annually in each of the next five years, depending on Syscon's sales of Xtract. Total payments over the five-year life of the contract are to be between C$500,000 and C$800,000 ($320,000 and $510,000 in US dollars respectively, at current exchange rates) depending on SysCon's sales volume. This transaction had not closed at the date of these financial statements.

              Financial Disclosure.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

       a.     Meetings of the Board of Directors

       During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Board of Directors held twelve meetings, including regularly scheduled and special meetings. Peter Shandro attended 88% of the Board meetings, Simon Anderson attended 100% of the Board meetings, Duane Nickull attended 75% of the Board meetings, David Webber attended 38% of the Board meetings, and Dick Hardt attended all of the Board meetings during the part of the fiscal year that he was a Director. Outside Directors were reimbursed their expenses associated with attendance at such meetings or otherwise incurred in connection with the discharge of their duties as a Director. Directors receive a grant of options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at the date of their appointment and receive an additional grant of options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock annually on the anniversary date of their appointment, as long as they continue to serve as directors. Non-executive directors receive a $520 fee for each meeting that they attend.

       b.      Committees

       The board appoints committees to help carry out its duties. In particular, board committees work on key issues in greater detail than would be possible at full board meetings. Each committee reviews the results of its meetings with the full board.

       During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the Board established the following committees:

Audit Committee

       The audit committee is currently composed of the following directors:

Dick Hardt
Simon Anderson (ex officio)

       The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Hardt is "independent" within the meaning of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s listing standards. Due to his service as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Anderson would not be deemed independent; however, his service on the Audit Committee is ex officio, and advisory in nature. For this purpose, an audit committee member is deemed to be independent if he does not possess any vested interests related to those of management and does not have any financial, family or other material personal ties to management.

       The audit committee met on one occasion during fiscal 2001, which meeting was attended by all of its members. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, this committee met one time, which meetings were attended by all of its members. The committee is responsible for accounting and internal control matters. The audit committee:

 

-

reviews with management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors policies and procedures with respect to internal controls;

 

-

reviews significant accounting matters;

 

-

approves the audited financial statements prior to public distribution;

 

-

approves any significant changes in accounting principles or financial reporting practices;

 

-

reviews independent auditor services; and

 

-

recommends to the board of directors the firm of independent auditors to audit our consolidated financial statements.

In addition to its regular activities, the committee is available to meet on all of the independent accountants, controller or internal auditor whenever a special situation arises.

Compensation Advisory Committee

       The compensation advisory committee is currently composed of the following directors:

Dick Hardt
Peter Shandro (ex officio)

       Our chief executive officer, Peter Shandro, serves as an ex officio member of the compensation advisory committee. The compensation advisory committee met on one occasion during fiscal 2001, which meeting was attended by all of its members. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, this committee met two times, which meetings were attended by all of its members. The compensation advisory committee:

 

-

recommends to the board of directors the compensation and cash bonus opportunities based on the achievement of objectives set by the compensation advisory committee with respect to our chairman of the board and president, our chief executive officer and the other executive officers;

 

-

administers our compensation plans for the same executives;

 

-

determines equity compensation for all employees;

 

-

reviews and approves the cash compensation and bonus objectives for the executive officers; and

-

reviews various matters relating to employee compensation and benefits.

       Any transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders, or other affiliates have been and will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties on an arms-length basis and will be approved by a majority of the Company's independent, outside disinterested directors.

Advisory Board

In February 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the establishment of an Advisory Board whose members consist of persons who possess particular expertise in one or more disciplines that we believe are relevant to our strategic plan, business development and core technologies. To date, four people have agreed to serve as members of the Advisory Board: Scott Briggs, Mark Van der Griend, Greg Celmainis and Ken Holman. The members of the Advisory Board do not exercise or possess any of the authority of members of our Board of Directors, but are merely advisors to our board.

Item 10. Executive Compensation.

The following table and discussions summarizes all compensation earned by or paid to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the other most highly compensated executive officers for all services rendered in all capacities to us and our subsidiaries for each of our last three fiscal years. However, no disclosure has been made for any executive officer, other than the CEO, whose total annual salary and bonus is less than $100,000.

Options are in the money if the market value of the shares covered thereby is greater than the option exercise price. This calculation is based on the estimated fair market value of the common stock at June 30, 2002, of $0.18 per share, less the exercise price.

Employment agreements

We have written employment agreements with Messrs. Shandro, McAughtry and Ebanks.

Indemnification and limitation on liability of directors

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law, any of our directors, officers, employees or agents who are made, or threatened to be made, a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official position of the person, which indemnity extends to any judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado Business Corporation Act. Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of certain statutory or contractual restrictions, (iv) violations of certain laws, or (v) any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. Liability under federal securities law is not limited by the Articles.

Item 11. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

The following table sets forth information with respect to beneficial ownership of our common stock at June 30, 2002 by each person who beneficially owns more than 5% of the common stock; by each of our executive officers named in the Management section; by each of our Directors; and by all executive officers and Directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is based on information provided to us, and the beneficial owner has no obligation to inform us of or otherwise report any changes in beneficial ownership. Except as indicated, and subject to community property laws when applicable, the persons named in the table above have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

(2)

The percentages shown are calculated based upon 43,942,736 shares of common stock outstanding on September 24, 2002. In calculating the percentage of ownership, unless as otherwise indicated, all shares of common stock that the identified person or group had the right to acquire within 60 days of September 24, 2002 upon the exercise of options and warrants are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of shares of common stock owned by such person or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the shares of common stock owned by any other person.

(3)

Unless otherwise stated, the beneficial owner's address is Suite 9 - 1818 Cornwall Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V6J 1C7 Canada.

(4)

In addition, Messrs. Shandro and Anderson were entitled to receive a further 25,000 options each within 60 days of June 30, 2002 in connection with their services as directors.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Founders - XML Nevada; the reorganization

In May 1999, XML Nevada was organized and simultaneously acquired 100% of the outstanding equity securities of XML Research, which in turn acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Walkabout Websites. The purpose of the transaction was to consolidate all of the intellectual property and other assets contributed by Messrs. Nickull, MacKenzie, Hoglund and Palethorpe into one entity, XML Nevada. In that transaction, XML Nevada issued a total of 12,500,000 shares of its common stock in consideration of the XML Research and Walkabout Websites shares, which indirectly resulted in the acquisition of the desired intellectual property and other assets. The persons who would be deemed founders of XML Nevada, and the number of shares of common stock received by each, is set forth below:

Name

Duane Nickull

2,000,000

Michael Palethorpe

Mr. Palethorpe left the Company in February 2000 and surrendered 600,000 of his shares for cancellation.

In August 1999, XML Global (then known as International Capital Funding, Inc.) acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of XML Nevada. In that transaction, all 12,500,000 shares of XML Nevada were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for 12,500,000 shares of XML Global, which then represented approximately 63% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of XML Global.

DataXchg, Inc.

In 1999, we formed and organized a new company called DataXchg, Inc. 40% of the equity securities of DataXchg, Inc. is held by us and 60% was held by David Webber. At that time, David Webber also became a member of our Board of Directors and a consultant.

Upon its organization, David Webber assigned to DataXchg, Inc. all of the patents, patent rights and other intellectual property owned by them related to the Xchg product, an e-business to e-business interchange solution that permits the conversion of standard EDI documents into an XML format.

We have purchased the remaining 60% of DataXchg, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in June 2000.

XMLFund

In January 2000, we sold to XMLFund a total of 500,000 Units of our securities at a price of $2.00 per Unit, for a total cash consideration of $1,000,000. Each Unit consisted of two shares of our common stock, one Warrant exercisable for three years to purchase an additional share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, and a second Warrant exercisable for 60 days to purchase an additional share of our common stock at an exercise price of $.07 per share. In March 2000, XMLFund exercised warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.07 per share. The managing partner of XMLFund, David Pool, agreed to become a member of our Board of Directors subject to our obtaining directors and officers' liability insurance. In addition, XMLFund was granted a limited preemptive right on certain future financings that we may undertake. By virtue of this limited preemptive right, XMLFund purchased in April 2000 100,000 units at a price of $1.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant exercisable until December 31, 2000 to purchase an additional share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. Further, pursuant to the preemptive right, in April 2000 XMLFund purchased 8.5 units at a price of $75,000 per unit, each unit consisting of 50,000 shares of our common stock and warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 50,000 shares of our common stock for 18 months at an initial exercise price of $4.00 per share. The life of the warrants associated with the 8.5 units was subsequently extended to September 30, 2001 and the exercise price reduced to $2.00 per share. The warrants associated with the 8.5 units have now expired. The preemptive right will terminate upon our completion of an initial public offering.
