PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2001

BusinessWay International Corporation ("BusinessWay") formerly known as GlobalNetCare Inc. ("GlobalNetCare"). The Company was organized on October 30, 1980, under the laws of the State of Florida as C.N.W. Corp. On February 1, 1981, the Company issued 1,000 shares of its $1 par value common stock for services of $1,000. The Company did not have any activity before 1998 and, accordingly, commencement of its development stage is considered to be at the beginning of 1998. On July 21, 1998, the Company increased its capitalization from 1,000 common shares to 50,000,000 common shares. The par value was changed from $1 to $0.001. On July 21, 1998, the Company changed its name to C.N.W of Orlando Inc., and on December 28, 1998 it changed its name to GlobalNetCare, Inc. On February 3, 1998, the Company incorporated its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3423336 Canada Ltd., a Canadian company, to develop a medical Website. However, the anticipated plans and operations of the Company for its medical Website have not and will not be achieved or pursued further. Due to its inability to generate sufficient revenues from these operations, the Company has decided to pursue a different line of business. The Corporation continues to operate the medical Website on a scaled down basis.  With the completion of the acquisition of Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Centres Inc. on September 12, 2000 (the "Acquisition"), the Company will no longer be considered a development stage enterprise since Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. has a income stream that has been established for many years. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement signed September 12,2000 (the "Exchange Agreement"), the Company incorporated another wholly-owned subsidiary,3739007 Canada Ltd., for the purpose of acquiring Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Centres Inc. Under the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired the shares of Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Center Inc. in exchange of 40,000,000 exchangeable Preferred Shares (the "Preferred Shares" ) of 3739007 Canada Ltd. (which are exchangeable for the same number of shares of the Company's common stock), and 37,923,891 Class A Special Voting Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Special Voting Shares"). The Special Voting Shares, which have no right to dividends and will be outstanding only until the Preferred Shares are exchanged, were issued to the principal owners of the acquired companies.  Prior to its acquisition of Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Centres Inc. and currently, the Company has offered health and medical information via its information Website, GlobalNetCare.com (the "Medical Website"). The Medical Website consists of several "Virtual Medical Centers" that are designed to provide health care professionals and people seeking information with an easy-to-use, interactive experience intended to address their subjects of concern and to create individual virtual medical records. Despite the efforts of the Company's management, the Medical Website did not attract the number of users or advertisers the Company anticipated and, accordingly, did not generate the revenue required for its continued operation and maintenance. The Medical Website has not been updated since October, 1999. The anticipated plans for the operation of the Medical Website by the Company, as described in the Company's Form 10-SB Registration Statement (as amended), have not and will not be achieved or pursued further by the Company. The failure of the Medical Website to meet its operational goals has caused the Company to seek to identify a different line of business. The Company has now achieved a new operational focus through the acquisition of Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Center Inc. On September 12, 2000, the Company acquired (the "Acquisition") all of the issued and outstanding shares of BusinessWay Computer Centres Inc. ("BusinessWay") and Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc., ("Cor-Bit"), two private companies that are incorporated under the laws of the province of Quebec ,Canada. The Acquisition was made under the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement, dated for reference June 30,2000 (the "Exchange Agreement"), to which the Company, 3739007 Canada Ltd. (the Company's wholly owned subsidiary), Cor-Bit, BusinessWay, Faris Heddo and Michele Scott (the "Majority Vendors"), the shareholders of Cor-Bit (the "Cor-Bit Shareholders") and the shareholders of BusinessWay (the "BusinessWay shareholders") are parties. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company caused 3739007 Canada Ltd. to issue 40,000,000 exchangeable Preferred Shares (the "Preferred Shares") issued by 3739007 Canada Ltd. to the Cor-Bit Shareholders and the BusinessWay Shareholders (collectively, the "Vendors"), as consideration for the exchange of the Cor-Bit shares and the BusinessWay shares. The Company issued 37,923,891 Class A Special Voting Shares (the "Special Voting Shares"), to the Majority Vendors and to the FONDACTION CSN Pour La Cooperation et L'Emploi, in the course of a reorganization of the capital of Cor-Bit and BusinessWay, as contemplated by section 85 of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Under the Exchange Agreement and a Call Option Agreement (entered into by each one of the Vendors and the Company), each of the Vendors granted an option to the Company to acquire the Preferred Shares and the Special Voting Shares, if applicable, in exchange for an equal number of common shares in the capital of the Company. Cor-Bit is a manufacturer of computers, and has developed internet software including a new business-to-business model, data base search software, and an access-based inventory management software link. Cor-Bit is the exclusive supplier of computers to BusinessWay's franchise operations. BusinessWay operates a Website, "www.businessway.com" (the "BusinessWay Website"), which be used as a multiple e-business site for the operations of Cor-Bit as well as to market the Cor-Bit line of computers. The principals of BusinessWay retained BusinessWay's franchise retail operations, as the retail operations of BusinessWay were not included under the terms of the Acquisition. On January 31, 2001 GlobalNetCare changed it's name to BusinessWay International Corporation. The name change took effect at the opening for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board on Thursday, February 8, 2001 under the new stock symbol "BITL". The Corporation's new CUSIP number is .12329Y 10 4. See the Form 8-K which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are incorporated herein by this reference. See Part III, Item 13. BusinessWay also increased its authorized capital from 100,000,00 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 40,000,000 Class A Special Voting shares, without par value, to 300,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 120,000,000 Class A Special Voting Shares, without par value, (the "Capital Increase"). See the Form DEF 14C which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are incorporated herein by this reference. See Part III, Item 13.      In March, 2001 BusinessWay acquired through its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc., the company BusinessWay Group Inc.("BusinessWay Group"). BusinessWay Group operates as the master franchiser of seven retail computer stores in the province Quebec. The company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common voting stock of BusinessWay Group Inc. by a unanimous vote and resolution of the board of directors of the company. This acquisition includes all the assets and assumption of all liabilities of the acquired company. The assets includes the master franchiser rights, contracts ,the BusinessWay retail operation system and documentation, and the two retail stores situated in the Greater Montreal Region. BusinessWay is diversified into three distinct divisions of operations. The three division are personal computers manufacturing, retail store operations and franchising and business-to-business (B2B) internet software programming and development. The main stream of revenue is derived from the BusinessWay's Canadian wholly-owned subsidiary, Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. ("Cor-Bit") which custom builds, manufactures and distributes the Cor-Bit line of computers. BusinessWay's primary source of revenue is now derived from the sales and distribution of its line of Cor-Bit brand of personal computers. Sales are made on a wholesale level and include a preferred sales arrangement through the independent chain BusinessWay Computer Centres franchised retail computer stores. BusinessWay has an arrangement with the BusinessWay retail chain franchiser to sell these made-to-measure computer systems. The products sold by the BusinessWay retail centers include the Cor-Bit line of custom computer systems, monitors, Storage Devices, Printers and a wide range of peripherals.  In order to increase revenue and market share, the Company plans on to assist the independent distribution chain to attract independent computer store owners to join the BusinessWay banner. This action is expected to increase sales for the Company since it deals on an exclusive basis with this distribution channel. The Company believes that it offers independent retail stores a multitude of advantages, including lowering their cost base and providing them with many proven sales concepts and product branding. The Company supports its network of independent BusinessWay retail stores with its established B2B (business to business) solution software that provides real-time product procurement and order tracking for a just-in-time delivery. The Company is also seeking to grow its business through acquisitions, and joint ventures with others in the industry. The Company believes that it is distinguishable in the PC marketplace based on its unique purchasing system, high product quality control, customer service and technical support. The Company has agreements with service affiliates who have over 22,000 service centers across North America . Servicing for the Cor-Bit brand of personal computers is now available across North America. The Company also provides a 1-800 technical support call center to assist end-users as well as independent retailers on software and hardware technical issues concerning the Cor-Bit line of personal computers. In order to expand its distribution base, the Company is planning to increase its investment in an advertising initiative to boost the recognition of the BusinessWay brand name and products. The Company is continuing to invest in the Research and Product Development to enhance its present product line. The company believes that these initiatives should have a positive impact on revenues in the remaining portion of fiscal year 2001. The company will be continuing to seek out strategic alliances that will enable the Company to generate increased sales either by direct sales or through joint venture projects. Although it is too early to predict actual sales volume level increases because of these alliances, the Company hopes for significant increases. The Company estimates that each independent retail store that joins the BusinessWay banner and distribution network will increase the Company's revenues in the range of $500,000 to $1.5 million per annum. BusinessWay Computer Centres ( the "BusinessWay Computer Centres") owns the BusinessWay trademarks, trade names, domain names and the BusinessWay.com website. Cor-Bit's software internet division is involved in Research and Development of it's internet software including a new business-to-business (B2B) model, database search software, an access-based inventory management software link, and the medical business-to-business (B2B) web application model. This division Is concentrating and focused on the future of Internet development that would be instrumental in the new e-commerce business sector.

PRINCIPLE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND THEIR MARKETS

BusinessWay has found that rural and small-town computer markets have been left alone by the major computer companies which have chosen to focus on sales of complete systems alone or by major retailers who fail to offer parts, upgrade components or professional support to the computer user. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, operates two (2) retail storefront locations under the name of BusinessWay Computer Centers for components, upgrade parts and complete personal computers for use in the home, business and professional and government markets. All BusinessWay locations provide complete sales and service, including full upgrade capabilities to its customers, no matter which brand or manufacturers' computer system a customer may have.Even as important as retail storefront sales, the Company has integrated a direct marketing plan using the Internet via its web sites (www. BusinessWay.com and www.corbit.com), along with "direct to the customer" as established by Dell Computers and Gateway, to satisfy the demand of price conscious, "do-it-yourself" Internet customers. The Company's web sites have complete e-commerce capabilities for retail customers and wholesale buyers. The implementation of each phase places the Company in an opportune position to market its products and services in select niches, including the exciting Internet marketplace across the World Wide Web. The Company has built over the years commercial relationships with major manufacturers and other suppliers of parts and upgrade components. The ability to purchase directly from the manufacturer or to capitalize on discounted prices from other sources has been a key element in the advantageous cost structure of BusinessWay. In addition, the Company follows, in philosophy and in practice, the inventory methodology of "Just in Time" or JIT. This JIT inventory practice has kept the Company's inventory purchase costs as close to the current market of many price sensitive parts. While this practice requires virtually daily ordering and a continual management of all price sensitive inventory, the management time (and inventory control system) yields benefits that far exceed the extra effort. In the world we live in, a UPS/FEDEX/Mail delivery of JIT often saves substantial sums when inventory prices are declining. In an upwardly spiraling market, the Company can simply adjust its wholesale/retail prices to reflect daily price changes. An important element of the Company's success has been the honest, quality personnel retained by BusinessWay. All of the Company's employees embody the philosophy of being " BusinessWay The Right Way" which starts with the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Faris Heddo. Each of the founders has been instrumental in the selection of key personnel which has reached 12 employees as of the date of this Report.The Company will build on its strengths in the Quebec, Canada region marketplace and implement a disciplined and controlled expansion which will follow the growth pattern of other successful major retailers. The initial rural and "small-town" Canada approach will take the best of a proven, textbook Wal-Mart strategy. Further, the Company will build on its basic ideology of keeping a low overhead retail operation of a Radio Shack style storefront. For the year 2002, two (2) new corporate store openings are planned and the company will attempt to attract many small independent retailers to join our banner throughout the region of Quebec and Ontario. In order to increase revenue, sales and market share, we plan to encourage independent computer store owners to join the BusinessWay banner and become franchisees. We believe that becoming a BusinessWay franchisee offers independent retail stores a number of advantages, including lower cost bases, proven sales concepts, technical support, warranty services, on-site servicing, an existing and operational website and co-op advertising. We support our network of independent BusinessWay Computer Centers with our established business to business (B2B) solution software that provides real-time product procurement and order tracking for "just-in-time" delivery. The Company's management believes that this expansion will result in an enterprise of substantial standing and profitability. We believe that our products can be distinguished in the personal computer marketplace based on our unique purchasing system, product quality control, customer service and technical support. We have third-party agreements with service affiliates who have over 22,000 service centers across North America; servicing for the Cor-Bit brand of personal computers is now available across North America. We also provide a toll-free technical support call center to assist end-users and independent retailers with software and hardware technical issues which may be encountered with the Cor-Bit line of personal computers. In order to expand our distribution base and increase recognition of the BusinessWay brand name, we plan to increase our investment in our advertising initiative. We continue to invest in research and product development to enhance our present product line. We believe that these initiatives will have a positive impact on revenues in the upcoming fiscal year 2002. We will continue to seek out strategic alliances that will enable us to generate increased sales, either by direct sales, through our franchisees or through joint venture projects, and will continue to seek further acquisitions and/or joint ventures with other companies in the computer technology industry. In parallel with the above, the company's software internet division will also attempt to launch in the coming year by the mid-January, 2002 the company's revolutionary and all new business-to-business (B2B) medical website development and products, services and portal.

BUSINESS TO BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY

In addition to the sale of the Cor-Bit line of personal computers and related products, we provide end-to-end e-commerce solutions, and facilitate the transition of traditional business enterprises into the realm of electronic business. We analyze a company's current operational structure and design a solution that will allow for a seamless transition with little or no interruption in that company's day to day operations. We do this by implementing a networked automation solution, which reduces operating costs and allows for more efficient communications between departments in any given company. Our solution package enables us to either work with an existing infrastructure or build one from the ground up, and allows us to implement functions within almost any existing system. In addition, our packages offer a range of solutions, including dynamic inventory control, purchase forecasting, departmental collaboration and communication and automatic stock replenishment. We offer several services to assist in the implementation of our solutions, including:

- requirement assessment, through which the client's needs are assessed;

- infrastructure building and networking, through which all products necessary to the operation of the solution are provided;

- standardization of corporate image, through assistance in the specification of such things as logos, color schemes and trademarks; and

- software development, through which customized software solutions are made available.

RESOURCE ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Our Resource Acquisition Management System ("RAMS") acts as a central nervous system for our clients' business-to-business (B2B) Internet transactions, handling all the tasks involved in day to day dealings with suppliers and dealers in a simple, efficient manner. For purchasers, our RAMS compiles vital supplier information in real-time, and includes features such as "Direct Connect", "Favorite Supplier" and "Automatic Supply and Demand Notification". For suppliers, RAMS technology assists in sourcing clients and gathering real-time lists of clients in need of that supplier's products and services.

ACCOUNTING APPLICATIONS

Our Integrated Office Accounting ("IOA") add-on software modules offer a true 32-bit Windows accounting solution and can be fully integrated with Microsoft Office. IOA was developed around Microsoft Access and is fully customizable and Internet ready. IOA is a state of the art accounting system which is both open and flexible, and can integrate with other office applications, including word processors, spreadsheets, databases, email and fax programs, and can produce operational reports.

COMPETITION.

The Company's present and intended business operations will center in areas of great competition, which will include many competitors who are larger, better financed and currently have a national or international image in these fields of endeavor. These competitors will include, in addition to many small other enterprises, the following: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.; Tandy Corporation; Bureau En Gros; Future Shop Inc.; Dell Computer Corporation; Gateway, Inc.; Micron Technology, Inc.; Insight Enterprises, Inc.; and Apple Computers. The PC industry is highly competitive, especially with respect to pricing and the introduction of new products and product features. We compete primarily by adding new performance features to products while minimizing corresponding price increases. We believe that our direct sales model, franchise stores and customer service and support are additional competitive advantages. Competitive factors in our markets include price, availability of new technology, variety of products and features offered, availability of products and software, marketing and sales capability, and service and support. We believe that we compete reasonably with respect to each of these factors. Our results, however, could be adversely effected if we are unable to introduce new products or product features as quickly as our competitors or if our competitors offer products at significantly lower prices than we do. In recent years, along with many of our competitors, we have regularly lowered prices, and we expect these pricing pressures to continue. Softness in the PC market in the fourth quarter of 2001 has led a number of our competitors to aggressively cut pricing to spur sales and gain market share. If cost reductions or changes in product mix do not mitigate these pricing pressures, these competitive price pressures could substantially reduce our profits. The Company will be at a distinct disadvantage in competing with these entities, and its current competitive position in this industry must be deemed to be nominal; however, the Company intends to focus its efforts in rural and "small-town" Canada, which management believes has been neglected by its major competitors. The Company believes it will be a competitive force in these areas.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

The Company purchases component and upgrade parts from a number of suppliers for further manufacturing or resale activities of complete component systems or upgrade and/or component parts. Most materials are readily available from suppliers. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES, CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY AGREEMENTS OR LABOR CONTRACTS. The only trademark or trade name of the Company is "BusinessWay". GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.  None, except as may be required in the bidding process for government contracts.

EFFECTS OF EXISTING OR PROBABLE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS

The integrated disclosure system for "small business issuers" adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-30968 and effective as of August 13, 1992, substantially modified the information and financial requirements of a small business issuer, defined to be an issuer that has revenues of less than $25,000,000; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer; is not an investment company; and if a majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a small business issuer; provided, however, an entity is not a small business issuer if it has a public float (the aggregate market value of the issuer's outstanding securities held by non-affiliates) of $25,000,000 or more. The Company is a "small business issuer," based upon these guidelines. On the effectiveness of the Company's 10-SB Registration Statement, the Company became subject to the reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act.") These requirements include, among others, that the Company must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission annual reports on Form 10-KSB ("SB" denotes a "small business issuer") that contain audited financial statements; quarterly reports on 10-QSB that contain reviewed financial statements; 8-K Current Reports reporting current material events; and proxy or information statements governed by Regulation 14A or 14C of the Securities and Exchange Commission that are then mailed to stockholders for any matter requiring the vote of consent of stockholders. Principals or 5% stockholders of the Company are also required to report their beneficial ownership and any changes in this ownership on appropriate forms. Directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are also subject to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act respecting "short swing" profits. Our common stock is "penny stock" as defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are stocks: with a price of less than five dollars per share; that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system; or in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $5,000,000, if in continuous operation for less than three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years. Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before making any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. You are urged to obtain and read this disclosure carefully before purchasing any of our shares. Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker/dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in these stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker/dealer to: get information about the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment goals; reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor can evaluate the risks of penny stock transactions; provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker/dealer made his or her determination; and receive a signed and dated copy of the statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment goals. Compliance with these requirements may make it harder for our stockholders to resell their shares.

COST AND EFFECT OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS

There are no material environmental laws, rules or regulations effecting the present and intended business operations of the Company.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

In 2000, the Company has expended approximately $100,000 in an effort to complete it's business-to-business ("B2B") software. In 2001, the Company continued to invest in the Research and Product Development to enhance its present product line and has expended approximately $50,000 and Cor-Bit's software internet division has expanded approximately $150,000 in Research and Development of it's internet software including a new business-to-business (B2B) model, database search software, an access-based inventory management software link, and the medical business-to-business (B2B) web application model. This division is concentrating and focused on the future of internet development that would be instrumental in the new e-commerce business sector.

EMPLOYEES

As of July 31, 2001, Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. had 9 full time and BusinessWay Group Inc. had 3 full time and 4 part-time employees.

BLUE SKY CONSIDERATIONS

Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, and the Company has no current plans to register or qualify its shares in any state, holders of these shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky restrictions upon the ability of new investors to purchase the securities. These restrictions could reduce the size of any potential market. As a result of recent changes in federal law, non-issuer trading or resale of the Company's securities is exempt from state registration or qualification requirements in most states. However, some states may continue to restrict the trading or resale of blind-pool or "blank-check" securities. Accordingly, investors should consider any potential secondary market for the Company's securities to be a limited one.

TAXATION

Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in any business acquisition or combination the Company may undertake. Typically, these transactions may be structured to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. The Company intends to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the target entity. Management cannot ensure that a business combination will meet the statutory requirements for a tax-free reorganization, or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of common shares or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes, which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction. Requirement of Audited Financial Statements may disqualify business opportunity. Management believes that any potential target company must provide audited financial statements for review, and for the protection of all parties to the business acquisition or combination. One or more attractive business opportunities may forego a business combination with the Company, rather than incur the expenses associated with preparing audited financial statements.

 

RISK FACTORS

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS AND OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE DECIDING TO PURCHASE SHARES. ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS COULD HAVE A MATERIALLY ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR ON THE VALUE OF OUR SHARES.

GENERAL

GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.

Our revenue growth and profitability depends significantly on the overall demand for personal computers and related products and services. Softening demand for these products and services caused by worsening economic conditions has resulted and may in the future result in decreased revenues or growth rates and similar effects on results of operations. Further delays or reductions in consumer and business spending on personal computers and related products could have a materially adverse effect on demand for our products and services and consequently on our future business.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES.

We have incurred substantial net losses in the past. While we feel confident that we will be able to secure additional funds through private placement financing and successfully carry out our business plan, there can be no assurance that we will accomplish these tasks and achieve profitability.

OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS ARE LIKELY TO FLUCTUATE.

We have experienced and will continue to experience quarterly variations in net sales and net income as a result of many factors, including the following:

- product mix;

- the level of selling, general and administrative expenses;

- the timing and level of product development expenses; and

- the timing and success of our new product introductions, as well as that of our competitors.

We plan our operating expenditures based on sales forecasts. If our net sales are below our expectations in any given quarter, our operating results will suffer. Due to the foregoing factors, in some future quarter our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of our common shares would likely suffer.

QUARTERLY SALES CYCLE MAKES PLANNING AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES DIFFICULT.

Like other computer companies, we generally sell more product in the third month of each quarter than in the first and second months. This sales pattern places pressure on manufacturing and logistics systems based on internal forecasts and may adversely affect our ability to predict our financial results accurately. In addition, to rationalize manufacturing utilization, we may build product early in the quarter in anticipation of demand late in the quarter. Developments late in a quarter, such as lower-than-anticipated product demand, a systems failure, or component pricing movements, can adversely impact inventory levels, cash and related profitability in a manner that is disproportionate to the number of days in the quarter affected. UNLESS WE GENERATE SIGNIFICANT SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS, OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. We expect that a substantial portion, if not all, of our future revenue will be derived from the sale of our computers and related products, and our software programs. We expect that these products and their extensions and derivatives will account for a majority, if not all, of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Broad market acceptance of our products is, therefore, critical to our future success and to our ability to generate revenues. Failure to achieve broad market acceptance of our products, as a result of competition, technological change or otherwise, would significantly harm our business. Our future financial performance will depend in significant part on market acceptance of our products, and on the development, introduction and market acceptance of their respective enhancements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in marketing our products or any new products, applications or enhancements, and any failure to do so would significantly harm our business. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING.

 We have had significant working capital deficiencies and have experienced negative cash flows in the past. We have historically depended upon capital infusion from the issuance of long term debt and equity securities to provide the cash needed to fund operations. Our ability to continue in business depends upon our continued ability to obtain significant financing from external sources. If any additional capital that we may require is raised through borrowing or other debt financing, we would incur substantial additional interest expense. Sales of equity securities, through a traditional underwritten offering, would dilute, on a pro rata basis, the percentage ownership of all holders of common shares. There can be no assurance that any such financing would be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed and upon acceptable terms and conditions could have a materially adverse effect upon our business. WE ARE UNCERTAIN THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL THAT MAY BE NECESSARY TO CONTINUE TO GROW OUR BUSINESS. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, progress in developing new products, competing knowledge and market developments and an ability to successfully market our products. We have predicted that we will require approximately $750,000 over the period ending July 31, 2002 in order to accomplish our goals. However, there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that we:

- incur unexpected costs in completing the continued development of any of   our products or encounter any unexpected technical or other difficulties;

- incur delays and additional expenses as a result of technology failure;

- are unable to create a substantial market for our hardware and software   products; or

- incur any significant unanticipated expenses.

The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans. We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued development of our products. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing. There can be no assurance that capital will continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, it will be on terms acceptable to us. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we were unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, our business and future success may be adversely affected.

EXPENSE CONSTRAINTS COULD IMPEDE OPERATIONS. We are focused on bringing our operational expenses to appropriate levels for our business, while simultaneously implementing new programs. The significant risks associated with these actions include the failure to expend sufficient revenue generating advertising and marketing funds, unanticipated consequences of reductions in personnel devoted to ongoing programs, and the failure to meet operating expense targets by not matching commitments in new programs to reductions in ongoing programs.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE OUR FUTURE GROWTH. Our ability to achieve our planned growth is dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, our ability to hire, train and assimilate management and other employees, the adequacy of our financial resources, our ability to identify and efficiently provide and perform such new products and services as our customers may require in the future and our ability to adapt our own systems to accommodate our expanded operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our planned expansion or that we will be able to manage successfully such expanded operations. Failure to manage anticipated growth effectively and efficiently could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

UNSCHEDULED DELAYS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PRODUCTS OR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR SALES PROGRAM COULD RESULT IN LOST OR DELAYED REVENUES.

 Delays and related increases in costs in the further development or improvement of our products, or the implementation of our sales and marketing program, could result from a variety of causes, including:

  • delays in the development, testing and commercial release of our products;
  • delays in hiring or retaining experienced hardware and software developers and programmers;
  • delays in locating and hiring experienced sales and marketing professionals;
  • and delays caused by other events beyond our control.

There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop further enhancements to our products on a timely basis or that we will implement

our sales and marketing program in a timely manner. A significant delay in the development, testing and commercial release of our products or a delay in the implementation of our sales and marketing program could result in increased costs and could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results in operations.

OUR LIMITED MARKETING AND SALES RESOURCES COULD PREVENT US FROM EFFECTIVELY MARKETING OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

We have limited internal marketing and sales resources and personnel. In order to market any products and services we may develop, we will have to either develop a marketing and sales force with technical expertise and distribution capability or outsource such duties to independent contractors. There can be no assurance that we will be able to establish sales and distribution capabilities or that we will be successful in gaining market acceptance for any products or services we may develop. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recruit skilled sales, marketing, service or support personnel, that agreements with franchisees will be available on terms commercially reasonable to us, or at all, or that our marketing and sales efforts will be successful. Failure to successfully establish a marketing and sales organization, whether directly or through third parties, would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. To the extent that we arrange with third parties to market our products or services, the success of such products and services may depend on the efforts of such third parties. There can be no assurance that any of our proposed marketing schedules or plans can or will be met.

INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS.

Our business creates ongoing demands for personnel, facilities, information and internal control systems and other infrastructure requirements. If we are not successful in continuing to develop our infrastructure, we could experience disruptions in operations, which could have an dverse financial impact. WE EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT AND RAPID GROWTH IN THE SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY OF OUR BUSINESS AS WE PROCEED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND SALE OF OUR PRODUCTS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE STAFF TO HANDLE SALES AND MARKETING OF OUR PRODUCTS AND MANAGE OUR OPERATIONS, OUR GROWTH COULD HARM OUR FUTURE BUSINESS RESULTS AND MAY STRAIN OUR MANAGERIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESOURCES. As we proceed with the development and sale of our products, we expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business. We will need to add staff to market our products, manage operations, handle sales and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions. We will be required to hire a broad range of additional personnel in order to successfully advance our operations. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. Any failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a materially adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

COMPETITION FOR TALENTED EMPLOYEES COULD HAMPER BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

Like all technology companies, we must compete for talented employees in a market where the demand for such individuals exceeds the number of qualified candidates. As a result, we focus significant efforts on attracting and retaining individuals in key technology positions. These efforts have generated positive results in terms of both reducing attrition rates and filling openings created by prior employee losses. Declining stock market prices, however, make retention more difficult as prior equity grants contain less value and key employees pursue equity opportunities elsewhere. Should we experience a substantial loss of talent or an inability to attract talent for key openings, particularly in critical markets, the resulting talent gaps could impact our ability to meet our business objectives.

THE LOSS OF FARIS HEDDO OR ANY OF OUR KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO SUCCEED.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the expertise of Faris Heddo and other key management personnel, and our ability to continue to hire and retain such personnel. There is intense competition for skilled personnel, particularly in the field of software development. The loss of Faris Heddo or any of our key management personnel could have a materially adverse effect on our business, development, financial condition, and operating results. We do not maintain "key person" life insurance on any of our directors or senior executive officers.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON FRANCHISEES FOR THE SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS AND IF WE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN EXPANDING OUR DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS, OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES WILL BE HARMED.

 We have entered into various franchise agreements with respect to the distribution of our products. While we believe that these arrangements will be beneficial, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to deliver our products to these franchisees in a timely manner or that they will be able to sell our products in the volumes that we anticipate. Our growth will be dependent on our ability to expand our distribution channels to market, sell and distribute our products. While our strategy is to enter into additional franchise agreements, we may not be able to successfully attract additional franchisees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to generate revenue from these franchisees, nor can there be any assurance that we will be successful in recruiting new franchisees to represent us and our products. Any such failure would result in us having expended significant resources with little or no return on our investment, which would significantly harm our business.

FUTURE OPERATIONS.

We currently have seven franchises operating in Quebec, Canada, and wish to expand our operations into the Ontario, Canada and North Eastern United States. Such expansion involves additional business risks such as foreign currency fluctuation, government regulation, liability for foreign taxes and product sales, competition with locally strong competitors, operating losses until critical mass is reached, and delivery and support logistics.

LIMITED LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS.

Our bylaws contain provisions limiting the liability of our officers and directors for all acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of themselves and all of our other officers or directors or for any other loss, damage or expense happening to us which shall happen in the execution of the duties of such officers or directors. Such limitations of liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from using our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our business and our shareholders.

TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer 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. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

SINCE OUR SHARES ARE THINLY TRADED AND TRADING ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE SPORADIC BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN EXCHANGE, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY RESELLING THEIR SHARES.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and is thinly traded. In the past, our trading price has fluctuated widely, depending on many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospectus. In addition, the OTC Bulletin Board is not an exchange and, because trading of the securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on an exchange of the NASDAQ system, you may have difficulty reselling any of the shares you purchase from the selling stockholders.

OUR SHARE PRICE IS EXTREMELY VOLATILE.

The trading price of our common shares has been, and in the future is expected to be, volatile and we expect to experience further market fluctuations as a result of a number of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, current and anticipated results of operations as well as changes in our business, operations or financial results, the timing of sales of common shares by selling shareholders, prospects of general market and economic conditions and other factors.

WE DO NOT EXPECT TO DECLARE OR PAY ANY DIVIDENDS.

 We have neither declared nor paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

 We participate in a highly volatile industry that is characterized by intense industry-wide competition. Industry participants confront aggressive pricing practices by competitors, continually changing customer demand patterns and rapid technological developments. The following cautionary statements discuss important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the projected results contained in the forward-looking statements in this re-offer prospectus.

WE NEED TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS SUCCESSFULLY.

The market for computer technology products is generally characterized by rapidly changing technology that can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. We believe that our current and future success of will depend on our ability to identify, develop, or source and successfully introduce and market, in a timely manner, enhancements to our existing products and new products that respond effectively to technological change. We may not successfully anticipate technological changes or select and develop new and enhanced products on a timely basis. In addition, if were are able to develop or source any products, these products may not gain market acceptance.

RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE INDUSTRY COULD RENDER OUR PRODUCTS NON-COMPETITIVE OR OBSOLETE AND CONSEQUENTLY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES AND REMAIN PROFITABLE. The development and sales of our products are exposed to risks as a result of the rapidly changing technology in the computer software and hardware industry. In addition, future advances in the computer software and hardware industry could lead to new technologies or software programs competitive with our products. Those technological advances could also lower the costs of other products that compete with our products, resulting in pricing or performance pressure on our products, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

THE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS MAY BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING CUSTOMERS. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY BECAUSE OUR COMPETITORS ARE MORE ESTABLISHED AND HAVE GREATER RESOURCES THAN WE DO.

We will encounter competition from other hardware and software companies and from an increasingly competitive computer technology industry in general. The growing market has attracted new market participants as well as expansion by established participants resulting in substantial and increasing competition. Many of our present and future competitors in the computer technology market have substantially greater:

  • financial, marketing, technical and development resources;
  • name recognition, and
  • experience than we do.

Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging advancements in the computer technology market and to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. We may not be able to successfully compete against current or future competitors which could significantly harm our business. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that could increase their ability to capture a larger portion of the market share for products similar to those we offer. This type of existing and future competition could affect our ability to maintain agreements with current franchisees and to enter into agreements with prospective franchisees. No assurances can be given that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

NEW FORM FACTORS INTRODUCE UNCERTAINTY INTO THE MARKET.

The increasing reliance on the Internet is creating new dynamics in the computer industry. As businesses and consumers turn to the Internet, speed and connectivity may become more critical than stand-alone power for client devices. Our products will vie for customer acceptance and market share against those of computer companies as well as consumer electronics and telecommunications companies. Hardware products, which are our traditional area of strength, may become less important than service offerings in attracting and retaining customers. In addition, as new form factors are adopted, sales of traditional personal computers may decline.

ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY.

There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to existing or new third-party technology for use in our products. If we or our suppliers are unable to obtain licenses necessary to use protected technology in our products on commercially reasonable terms, we may be forced to market products without certain desirable technological features. We could also incur substantial costs to redesign our products around other parties' protected technology or to defend patent or copyright infringement actions against us.

WE MAY ENCOUNTER SOFTWARE DEFECTS OR DELAYS IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.

Our software may contain undetected errors or we may experience unanticipated delays in the development of software. Despite testing by potential customers and by our employees, it is possible that our software may nevertheless contain errors, and this could have an adverse effect on our business.

PRODUCT CYCLES.

Short product life cycles resulting from rapid changes in technology and consumer preferences and declining product prices characterize the PC industry. Our internal engineering personnel work closely with PC component suppliers and other technology developers to evaluate the latest developments in PC-related technology. However, we may not have access to or the right to use new technology or may be unable to incorporate such new technology in our products or features in a timely manner. The increasing reliance on the Internet creates new dynamics in the computer industry, causing an emphasis on speed and connectivity rather than stand-alone computing power. As a new generation of Internet devices is introduced, sales of traditional desktop and other personal computers may decline and our products will be subject to competition from consumer electronics companies, telecommunications companies and other major consumer competitors.

SUPPLIERS.

We require a high volume of quality components for the manufacture of our products, substantially all of which we obtain from outside suppliers. While we attempt to have multiple suppliers for such components, in some circumstances we maintain single source supplier relationships. Failures of suppliers to meet component delivery schedules have occasionally disrupted our normal production schedules, and we may continue to experience production disruptions. Reliance on third party suppliers also subjects us to the risks of a shortage of components, the possibility of defective parts produced by others, and increases in component costs (which can adversely affect our profitability).

COMPONENT SHORTAGES COULD CURTAIL PRODUCTION.

From time to time, supply for key components in our products lags behind worldwide demand. In the event that supply of a key material component is delayed or curtailed, our ability to supply the related product in desired quantities and in a timely manner could be adversely affected. We attempt to mitigate the risks of component shortages by working closely with key suppliers on product plans, co-ordinated product introductions, purchases on the spot market and selected strategic purchases.

PROTECTION OF TRADENAMES AND DOMAIN NAMES AGAINST ALL INFRINGERS.

We currently hold the Internet domain name "businessway.com". Domain names generally are regulated by Internet regulatory bodies and are subject to change and may be superseded, in some cases, by the laws, rules and regulations governing the registration of tradenames and trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and certain other common law rights. In the event that the domain registrars are changed, new ones are created or we are deemed to be infringing upon another's tradename or trademark, it could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring or using our domain name which could adversely affect our brand name and other proprietary rights.

WE FACE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights in our products and services. A third party may copy or otherwise obtain and use its products or technology independently. In addition, effective protection of intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. None of our software programs are protected by any patents. We do treat our software programs and their associated technology as proprietary. Despite our precautions taken to protect our software programs, unauthorized parties may attempt to reverse engineer, copy or obtain and use our software programs, which could adversely effect our results of operations. No material claims are currently pending regarding the infringement of the proprietary rights of third parties by our products, trademarks, or other proprietary rights. However, we may, in the future, receive communications from third parties asserting that our products infringe, or may infringe, the proprietary rights of third parties. In the event of litigation to determine the validity of any third-party claims, such litigation, whether or not determined in our favor, could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel from productive tasks. In the event of an adverse ruling in such litigation, we might be required to discontinue the use and sale of infringing products, expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology, or obtain licenses to infringing technology. We may be unable to obtain a license for the disputed third-party technology on reasonable commercial terms or at all. If someone asserts a successful claim against us and we are unable to develop or license a substitute technology, our business would suffer.

E-COMMERCE

We have developed our e-commerce business in part through investment in existing companies and the continued expansion of the BusinessWay Website, through which our branded products are available. E-commerce is still a relatively new and emerging distribution channel whose success is dependent on a variety of factors, including its continued acceptance by consumers. Our success utilizing e-commerce depends on such factors as the satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of the BusinessWay Website; the reliability and efficiency of our computer and communications hardware systems; our ability to compete with a growing number of rival e-commerce sites; our ability to evolve, update and improve our services and offerings in response to changing demands; and the consumer demand for our products. Expansion in this area has required investment in start-up activities and initial operating losses in this portion of our business.

WE RELY UPON TECHNOLOGY AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS.

We anticipate that it will be necessary to continue to invest in and develop new and enhanced technology on a timely basis to maintain our competitiveness. Significant capital expenditures may be required to keep our technology up to date. Investments in technology and future investments in upgrades and enhancements to software for such technology may not necessarily ensure our competitiveness. Our future success will also depend in part on our ability to anticipate and develop information technology solutions which keep pace with evolving industry standards and changing client demands.

 

 

WE OPERATE IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT FACES RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE.

 Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to keep pace with technology. Rapid changes have occurred, and are likely to continue to occur. There can be no assurance that our development efforts will not be rendered obsolete by research efforts and technological advances made by others. The market for information technology services is characterized by rapid technological advances, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, and changes in customer requirements. Although we believe that our e-commerce business plan is sufficient for the present, we believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to service new products, platforms and rapidly changing technology. These factors will require that we provide adequately trained personnel to address the increasingly sophisticated, complex and evolving needs of our customers. Our ability to capitalize on future acquisitions of businesses which either manufacture computers and related products or operate within the e-commerce industry will depend on our ability to:

(i) enhance our hardware and software, and successfully integrate same into our technical product support services;

(ii) adapt our software to new hardware and operating system requirements; and

(iii) develop new hardware and software products in an industry characterized by increasingly rapid product and technological obsolescence. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond rapidly to technological advances, new products and enhancements or changes in customer requirements, could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in this document that do not relate to present or historical

conditions are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21W of the Securities exchange Act of 1934. Additional oral or written forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time, and such statements may be included in documents that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accuracy of such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the Company's plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, and intentions and are intended to be made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Words such as "believes," "forecasts," "intends," "possible," "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," or "plans," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Among the important factors which such statements are based are assumptions concerning the anticipated growth of the information technology industry, the market for and availability of components for the Company's computers, the availability of institutional lending or capital financing, and the success of the Company in maintaining and increasing the number of franchised retail outlets that carry its products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

Sales for the year July 31, 2001 were lower than for the corresponding year due to the decrease in the Personal Computer industry sales this year. The Company had decreased in sales in part due to a general sales downturn in the computer industry. Revenues resulted from sales of computers and accessories to retail outlets that carry the BusinessWay franchise. The company anticipates that its future sales will increase to previous year's level as a result of additional outlets openings contemplated and other factors.

 

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 84.2% to 82.7% for the corresponding prior year. Cost of sales are primarily dependent on the market conditions for and availability of components for the computers and accessories sold by the Company. The Company anticipates that the increasing volume of sales resulting from additional BusinessWay franchises will allow it to obtain greater volume discounts and achieve other economies of scale and thereby reduce the percentage cost of sales in the future.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses were impacted by a number of significant changes in expense items. Amortization expense increased to $90,643 as a result the purchase of computer equipment during the period to meet the Company's office and administrative needs and amortization of master franchiser rights acquired .Professional expenses, which were $22,090 for fiscal 2000, increased to $155,627 during the current year as result of legal and accounting fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of BusinessWay Computer Centres Inc. and Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. by the Company, and as a result of the costs of being a public company related to compliance with U.S. federal securities law filings and disclosure.

NET INCOME

Primarily as a result of the foregoing factors, the Company's net loss increased to $297,860 during the year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has increased its accounts receivable since the beginning of the fiscal year from $548,003 to $661,597. The Company has obtained a line of credit facility with a banking institution in Canada enabling it to borrow up to $231,000 based on accounts receivable and inventory provided as security to the bank. At July 31, 2001, the Company was using the credit for an amount of $251,447. Total current assets have increased from $764,078 to $795,117, and the ratio of its current assets to current liabilities has decreased from 1.3 to 1 to 1.01 to 1. In order for the Company to pursue and achieve its objective for its expansion of its BusinessWay franchise operations, as well as opening new retail outlets and franchise members, the Company anticipates that it will need to raise approximately $350,000 of additional capital during the next twelve month period, as well , the Company needs to raise new capital in the order of $300,000 within the next six months to be able to fund its Research and Development and launch it's new medical business-to-business (B2B) web application portal. The Company will primarily seek these additional funds through private sales of its stock or through institutional borrowing or through new venture capital. However, there can be no assurance that additional capital of institutional lending will be available when needed or available on terms that will be favorable to the Company.

BUSINESSWAY INTERNATIONAL'S AUDITED FINANCIAL FOR 2001

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

BusinessWay International Corporation

Montreal, Quebec

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of BusinessWay International Corp. as of July 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders´ equity for the two 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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, these financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BusinessWay International Corp. as of July 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements , the company has a working capital problem that could affect its ability to meet its payments. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management´s plan in regard to these matters are also described in note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BUSINESSWAY INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT JULY 31, 2001

 

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The significant accounting principles are as follows:

(a) Consolidated financial statements and basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BusinessWay International Corp. and the accounts of Cor-bit Peripherals Inc. ,Le Groupe BusinessWay Inc. , BusinessWay Computer Centre Inc. , 3739007 Canada Ltd. and 3423336 Canada Ltd.(inactive). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents: The Corporation considers all investments that are highly liquid with an original maturity of three months or less and readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.

(c) Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the following method s Furniture and equipment 20 % declining balance method Computer equipment 30% declining balance method Leasehold improvements 20% declining balance method

Master Franchise Development straight line over five years The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable.

(d) Research and development expenditures: Research and development expenditures, if any, are expensed as incurred.

(e) Foreign exchange: Foreign denominated assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date whereas its revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments that result from translating foreign currency financial statements are

included in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net earnings.

(f) Income taxes: The Corporation uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits such as net operating loss carry-forwards, to the extent that realisation of such benefits is more likely than not. To the extent that management does not consider their reliability to be more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided for the difference. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(g) Comprehensive income: Effective January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.

(h) Stock issued to employees: The Corporation applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion no. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, in accounting for stock option agreements. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the then current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.

(i) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of: The Corporation accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

(j) Net loss per share: Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The fully diluted loss per share has not been disclosed because the effect of common shares issue-able upon the exercise of options and warrants is anti-dilutive.

(k) Dividends: The Corporation has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid since inception.

(l) Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(m) Warranty repair expenses are immaterial and no reserve for warranty repairs has been established.

(n) BusinessWay also increased its authorised capital from 100,000,00 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 40,000,000 Class A Special Voting shares, without par value, to 300,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 120,000,000 Class A Special Voting Shares, without par value, (the "Capital Increase"). See the Form DEF 14C which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are incorporated herein by this reference. See Part III, Item 13.

(o) The Company has obtained a line of credit facility with a banking institution in Canada enabling it to borrow up to $231,000 based on accounts receivable and inventory provided as security to the bank.

(p) On September 13, 2000, the directors of the Company adopted the Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which the Plan Administrator is authorised to grant up to a total of 2,500,000 common shares. Reference is made to the information under the heading "SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT - BUSINESSWAY COMPUTER CENTRE, INC. AND COR-BIT PERIPHERALS, INC." appearing

under "Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION" appearing in the Form 10-QSB of GlobalNetCare for the period ended June 30, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Acquisition Information"), and the Acquisition Information is hereby incorporated by reference. Under the terms of the Acquisition, GlobalNetCare has agreed to issue

options to Faris Heddo to purchase 600,000 Common Shares of GlobalNetCare ("Shares") at $.50 per share and to purchase 500,000 Shares at $1.00 per share (collectively, the "Heddo Option Rights") as consideration for his agreement to serve as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a Director of GlobalNetCare. Pursuant to the Heddo Option Rights, on September 12, 2000, GlobalNetCare authorised the issuance of options to Mr. Heddo to purchase 100,000 Shares at $.50 per share. Under the terms of the Acquisition, GlobalNetCare has agreed to issue options to Michele Scott to purchase 600,000 Common Shares of GlobalNetCare ("Shares") at $.50 per share and 500,000 Shares at $1.00 per share (collectively, the "Scott Option Rights") as consideration for her agreement to serve as Chief Financial Officer, Vice President, Secretary and a Director of GlobalNetCare. Pursuant to the Scott Option Rights, on September 12, 2000, GlobalNetCare authorised the issuance of options to Ms. Scott to purchase 150,0000 Shares at $.50 per share. There were no exercises of stock options or free-standing Stock Appreciation Rights during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001 by any of the Company's officers or directors.

q) The company 's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realisation of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the company due to reduce sales volume has had difficulty in planning its future cash flow needs. Without realisation of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the company to continue as a going concern. It is management's plan to seek additional capital in connection with any business opportunities including business combination

 

 

NOTE 2. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

The Company was organized on October 30, 1980, under the laws of the state of Florida as C.N.W. Corp. On February 1, 1981, the Company issued 1,000 shares of its $1 par value common stock for services of $1,000. The Company did not have any activity before 1998 and, accordingly, commencement of its development stage is considered to be at the beginning of 1998. On July 21, 1998, the Company increased its capitalization from 1,000 common shares to 50,000,000 common shares. The par value was changed from $1 to $0.001. On July 21, 1998, the Company changed its name to C.N.W. of Orlando Ltd., and on December 28, 1998 it changed its name to GlobalNetCare Inc. On February 3, 1998, the Company incorporated its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3423336 Canada Ltd., a Canadian company, to develop a medical Website. However, the anticipated plans and operations of the Company for its medical Website have not and will not be achieved or pursued further. Due to its inability to generate sufficient revenues from these operations, the Company has decided to pursue a different line of business. The Corporation continues to operate the medical Website on a scaled down basis. With the completion of the acquisition of Cor-bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Center Inc. on September 12, 2000 (the "Acquisition"), the Company is no longer considered a development stage enterprise since Cor-bit Peripherals Inc. has an income stream that has been established for many years. Under the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement signed September 12, 2000 (the "Exchange Agreement"), the Company incorporated another wholly-owned subsidiary, 3739007 Canada Ltd., for the purpose of acquiring Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Center Inc. Under the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired the shares of Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Center Inc. in exchange for 40,000,000 convertible Preferred Shares (the "Preferred Shares") of 3739007 Canada Ltd. (which are exchangeable for the same number of shares of the Company's common stock) and 37,923,891 Class A Special Voting Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Special Voting Shares"). The Special Voting Shares, which have no right to dividends and will be outstanding only until the Preferred Shares are exchanged, were issued to the principal owners of the acquired companies. Subsequently, Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BusinessWay International Corp., acquired for $1.00, all of the outstanding voting shares of Le Groupe BusinessWay Inc., which owns master franchiser rights for future sale of franchises bearing the name BusinessWay.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS:

a) The Corporation leases its office and retail space under a leases expiring up to 2003. At July 31, 2001, future minimum rental payments required under the terms of the operating lease that have initial or remaining terms in excess of one year are as follows:

2002 $ 20,883

2003 $ 7,219

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES:

In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Since the Corporation is a development stage corporation, the generation of future taxable income is dependent on the successful commercialization of its products and technologies.

NOTE 7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

(a) Foreign currency risk management: Options are exercisable in US dollars. Ultimate proceeds upon exercise of options may vary due to fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US currency.

(b) Credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Corporation to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Corporation has investment policies that require placement of short-term investments in financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy. In the normal course of business, the Corporation evaluates the financial condition of the parties with which it contracts on a continuing basis and reviews the credit worthiness of all new parties. The Corporation determines an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect specific risks.

(c) Fair values: The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments at July 31, 2001 and July 31, 2000. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time using available information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On February 22, 2000, the Company engaged KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, to prepare the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. Prior to engaging KPMG LLP, the Company did not consult KPMG LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to any specific completed or contemplated transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements. There were no disagreements with the Company's former auditor, Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell, P.C., Certified Public Accountants, regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, or any other matter. On November 17, 2000, the Registrant terminated KPMG LLP as its independent accountant. KPMG's reports on the Registrant's financial statements did not contain, for either of the past two years, an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, auditing scope or accounting principles.

The decision to change accountants was considered and approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant on November 17, 2000. In connection with their audits for the years 1998 and 1999 and through November 17, 2000, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG LLP, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports on the financial statements for those years. On November 17, 2000, Robert M. Lawand, C.A. was engaged as the new independent accountant for the Registrant to be the principal accountant to audit the Registrant's financial statements. During the years 1998 and 1999 and through November 17, 2000, the Registrant has not consulted with Robert M. Lawand, C.A. on (1) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements and either written or oral advice was provided that was an important factor in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

(2) any disagreements with KPMG LLP, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to KPMG LLP's satisfaction would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports.
