EXPLANATORY NOTE

General

Next 1 Interactive, Inc. (“Next 1” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation formerly known as Maximus Exploration Corp. (“Maximus”), is a holding company which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Extraordinary Vacations USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EVUSA”), caters to advertisers’ evolving focus on exploiting video opportunities on multiple platforms that address the convergence of internet, television and mobile phone technology. We believe we have positioned our Company to take a leadership role in the newly developing video-centric (“rich media”) online advertising space, by connecting advertisers with suitable online media vehicles and content in which to place their advertising.

Organizational History

On October 9, 2008, we acquired Maximus, a reporting shell company, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) between Maximus, Extraordinary Vacation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maximus ("EXVG"), and EXVUSA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EXVG.
 
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, EXVG exchanged 100% of its shares in EVUSA (the “EVUSA Shares”) for 13 million shares of common stock of Maximus (the “Share Exchange”), resulting in EXVG becoming the majority shareholder of Maximus. EXVG then proceeded to dividend 13 million shares of Maximus common stock to the stockholders of EXVG (“EXVG Stockholders”), on a pro rata basis. As a result of these transactions, EVUSA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maximus. Maximus then amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to Next 1 Interactive, Inc. and to authorize 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share. Such transactions are hereinafter referred to as the “Acquisition.” As of the date of this filing, there is an aggregate of 18,511,500 shares of our common stock outstanding and no preferred shares outstanding.
 
Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, there were 18,511,500 shares of Maximus’ common stock issued and outstanding, of which 13 million were issued to EXVG Stockholders by way of the dividend described in the preceding paragraph. As a result of the foregoing, EXVG Stockholders own an aggregate of 97.2% of Maximus thereby effecting a change in control of Maximus.

Next 1 conducts all of its business through EVUSA, its wholly-owned subsidiary.

Prior to the Acquisition, Maximus was a shell company with no active operations. Maximus was previously engaged in the exploration of molybdenum mineralization material. The Company was not successful in finding mineralized material and did not generate revenues. At the time of the Acquisition, Maximus was commercially inactive.

On October 10, 2008, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement is incorporated by reference herein in satisfaction to the Items required to be disclosed under Form 8-K.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Included in the Registration Statement and incorporated by reference herein.

 Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Included in the Registration Statement and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7. Financial Statements.

Included in the Registration Statement and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Effective as of the consummation of the Acquisition on October 9, 2008, the Company dismissed Malone & Bailey, P.C., independent registered public auditors (“Malone”) as its registered independent public auditors. Malone had previously been engaged as the registered independent public auditors to audit Maximus’ financial statements and review the Company’s unaudited financial statements. The reason for the dismissal of Malone is that, upon the consummation of the Acquisition on October 9, 2008, (i) the former stockholders of EXVG owned a majority of the outstanding shares of Maximus’ common stock and (ii) Maximus’ primary business unit became the business previously conducted by EVUSA. The Board of Directors of Maximus deemed it practical that EVUSA’s registered independent public auditors be engaged, going forward.


None of Malone’s audit reports on Maximus’ financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended February 29, 2008 and February 27, 2007 contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. However, Malone’s audit reports on Maximus’ financial statements for the past two fiscal years included Malone’s uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In each of the reports, Malone stated that its “going concern” opinion was made in light of the fact that the Company was a “blank check” company with no operations and had not made any efforts to identify a possible business combination at the time of the Company’s respective financial statements.

The decision to change the Company’s registered independent public auditors was approved by the Company’s board of directors on October 9, 2008.

From February 22, 2007 through October 9, 2008, there were no disagreements between Maximus and Malone on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Malone, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with the firm’s reports.
 
The Company made the contents of this Current Report on Form 8-K available to Malone and requested it to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC as to whether it agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to clarify our expression of our views, or wished to provide any additional information. Filed hereto as Exhibit 16.1 is Malone’s statement that it has reviewed this Form 8-K and agrees with the statements made by the Company herein.

On October 9, 2008, the Company engaged Kramer, Weisman & Associates, LLP (“Kramer”) as its new registered independent public auditors. The appointment of Kramer was approved by our board of directors on October 9, 2008. During our most recent fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 and the subsequent interim periods through August 31, 2008, the Company did not consult Kramer regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

Prior to engaging Kramer, the Company had not consulted Kramer regarding the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements. 

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter of the year ended August 31, 2008, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management does not expect that their disclosure controls or their internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Item 8B. Other Information. 

None.


PART III
 
Item 9. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons and Corporate Governance; Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. 

Included in the Registration Statement and incorporated by reference herein.

Audit, Nominating and Compensation Committees 

Our Board of Directors has not formally established separate audit, nominating or compensation committees though they perform many of the functions that would otherwise be delegated to such committees. Currently, our Board of Directors believes that the cost of establishing such committees, including the costs necessary to recruit and retain qualified independent directors to serve on our Board of Directors and such committees and the legal costs to properly form and document the authority, policies and procedures of such committees are not justified under our current circumstances. However, we anticipate that our Board of Directors will seek qualified independent directors to serve on the Board and ultimately form standing nominating and compensation committees and nominate other directors to serve on its audit committee.
 
Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors has not established a Code of Ethics but intends to do so in the near future.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act 

Not applicable.
 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings 

During the past five years no director or executive officer of the company (i) has been involved as a general partner or executive officer of any business which has filed a bankruptcy petition; (ii) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding nor is subject to any pending criminal proceeding; (iii) has been subjected to any order, judgment or decree of any court permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (iv) has been found by a court, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.

Item 10. Executive Compensation.

Included in the Registration Statement and incorporated by reference herein.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
