(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2001

PRINCIPLES OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the 12 months ended December 31, 2000.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cottage Investments, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, or the Company. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include the plans and objectives of the Company for future operations. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based on the assumption that the Company's entry into the communications industry will be successful, that competitive conditions within the communications industry will not change materially or adversely and that there will be no material adverse change in the Company's expected operations or business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, as well as future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included herein are reasonable, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company, or any other person, that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Continuing as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has sustained losses during the year ended December 31, 2000, and the six months ended June 30, 2001 and such losses are continuing in fiscal year 2001. Additionally, the Company has used, rather than provided, cash in its operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2000, and this was also the case for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Due to its cash flow situation, the Company is attempting to negotiate payment terms with vendors representing a significant portion of the accounts payable and is seeking to raise capital.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, there remains doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The satisfaction of the liabilities reflected in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operation of the Company, which is in turn dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to negotiate terms with its current creditors, and to succeed in its future operations.

As a result of the Company's operating losses, the Company has terminated operations and transferred the operating subsidiaries through which the Company previously did business.

Loans Payable

The Company is currently in default on loans from Internet Financial Services, LLC ("IFS"), James Carter, and Tower Hill Holdings, Inc. The loan from Mr. Carter is secured with 10,107,500 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Carter has requested the shares be issued unless payment to him is made immediately. The Company has an agreement with IFS, in which IFS will accept a convertible note in lieu of payment of its debt.

The Company has convertible notes due within the next twelve months to InfoTech Contract Services, Inc. and Stonebridge Technologies, Inc.

The loans payable of the Company are summarized as follows:

Convertible Notes

$ 335,764

Discontinued operations

The discontinued prior operations include all operations of the Company's subsidiaries, MyFavoriteShoe.com, Inc. and zebramart.com, inc., which were sold by the Company, with such sale reported in the Company's previous filings and incorporated herein by reference.

The sale of MyFavoriteShoe.com, Inc. and zebramart.com, inc. resulted in a gain of $2,861,808, which gain was primarily due to the reduction in liabilities to the Company.

 

Extraordinary Items

Gain on extinguishment of accounts payable

In June 2001, $100,000 of accounts payable related to deferred salary of Daniel Mackell, the CEO, was forgiven by Mr. Mackell.

Capital Stock

In May 2001, the Company issued 5,338,933 shares to The Enna Corporation, LLC to settle accounts payable of $32,034.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets as of June 30, 2001 were $5,704, an increase of $5,704 from total assets of $0 at June 30, 2000. The increase is attributable to the raising of capital through the sale of the Company's stock. In the three months ended June 30, 2001, assets decreased $25,064 due to the cost of the Company's operations.

Current liabilities decreased by $3,726,890 from $4,354,350 at June 30, 2000 to $627,461 at June 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of the Company's discontinued operations. In the three months ended June 30, 2001, liabilities decreased $2,947,349 also primarily attributable to the sale of the Company's discontinued operations.

Stockholder's equity increased from ($4,354,350) at June 30, 2000 to ($621,757) at June 30, 2001, an increase of $3,732,594. The increase is primarily attributable to the sale of the Company's discontinued operations. In the three months ended June 30, 2001, stockholders equity increased $2,922,285, also primarily attributable to the sale of the Company's discontinued operations and the related reduction in liabilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Excluding discontinued operations, the Company had no revenue or cost of goods sold for the three or six month period ended June 30, 2001, which is not a change from the same periods for the prior year.

Excluding discontinued operations, the Company's operating expenses decreased by $1,632 to $69,231 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared with operating expenses of $70,863 for the same period for the prior year.

The Company incurred net income of $2,890,251 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to a net loss of $5,961,285 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, which is a increase of $8,851,536. The increase is primarily attributable to closing of the Company's internet operations and the gain on the sale of the Company's discontinued operations and the related reduction in liabilities resulting from the disposal of the subsidiaries through which such operations were conducted.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, operating activities consumed $26,582 of cash as compared to $591 for the same period for the prior year. The primary reason for the increase was that in the three month period ended June 30, 2000 the Company's accounts payable increased almost equally with operational expenses. The Company has effectively expended all of its current resources and has limited liquidity. The Company is in the process of approaching its creditors to attempt to settle liabilities with past due vendors and paying down its accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Failure to renegotiate current liabilities with its vendors could be devastating to the viability of the Company as a going concern.

The Company is making efforts to bring in outside capital to fund its business plan and to acquire capital through an acquisition. Failure to achieve further funding could be devastating to the viability of the Company as on ongoing concern.

MANAGEMENT'S OPERATING PLANS

The Company principal business at this time is exploring acquisitions in other lines of business that might provide support for the Company to continue as a going concern and that are potentially accretive to shareholder value.
