(the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada, U.S.A. on June 9, 1999. The Company is a development stage company and its purpose at this time is focused on bringing the Internet from the World Wide Web to an interactive local market, develop advertising resources and community directories. The Company is developing a community of Local Market Internet Portals in major North American centres with further extension into suburbs and neighborhoods. It is a free membership concept for the internet user, creating savings and discounts for the members with the participating local business establishments. There are approximately 1,100 members at this time. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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 financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Income taxes The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance in respect of amounts considered by management to be less likely than not of realization in future periods. 3. SHARE CAPITAL Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share and share equally in any dividends declared and distributions on liquidation. Wowtown.com Inc. (a development stage enterprise) Notes to Financial Statements October 31, 1999 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (a) A company controlled by a director of the Company has provided administrative services and facilities to the Company and development expenses at cost. The Company as at October 31, 1999 was indebted in relation to these services are as follows: Notes payable $ 10,600 Accounts payable 2,254 ----------- $ 12,854 (b) A company controlled by three of the stockholders has performed development services for the Company at cost.

(a development stage enterprise) Notes to Financial Statements October 31, 1999 6. LOANS FROM STOCKHOLDERS Loans from stockholders are interest-free and have no terms of repayment. 7. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may recognize the Year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something other than a date. The effects of the Year 2000 Issue may be experienced before, on, or after January 1, 2000, and, if not addressed, the impact on operations and financial reporting may range from minor errors to significant systems failure which could affect the Company's ability to conduct normal business operations. It is not possible to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 Issue affecting the Company, including those related to the efforts of customers, suppliers, or other third parties, will be fully resolved.
