International Wood Corporation (a development stage company) Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 1999 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization International Wood Corporation (the "Company"), a Colorado corporation, was incorporated on October 27, 1986 under the name Xanthic Enterprises, Inc. It changed its name to the present name in the first quarter of 1998. Since its inception the Company has been in the development stage. In early 1998 it acquired a Norwest S.A. a Brazilian corporation with land and timber holdings in Brazil. The Company's primary intended activity is to engage in forest management and export of tropical hardwoods from Brazil. The Company has had no operations since its inception except for expenses related to maintaining the corporate status and attempting to arrange financing for its business activities. Basis of Accounting The Company's policy is to use the accrual method of accounting and to prepare and present financial statements which conform to generally accepted accounting principals. 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 assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. Accounts Payable Accounts payable represents accounts incurred in seeking merger and acquisition candidates and stock issuance costs. 3. Capital Stock The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $ .0001 per share. In May, 1989 the Company became obligated to distribute shares and warrants to the shareholders of ASI pursuant to the S-18 registration statement. The Company distributed 313,826 of stock and 627,652 warrants pursuant to the agreement with ASI. The shares and warrants were delivered at various dates between May of 1989 and February 1990. This distribution included 313,826 shares of common stock and one (1) Class A Warrant and one (1) Class B Warrant with each share of stock distributed. Each warrant allowed the holder to acquire an additional share of common stock as follows: The Class A Warrant had an exercise price of $ 0.75 per share and an expiration date of April 30, 1990. The Class B Warrant had an exercise price of $ 1.50 per share and an expiration date of April 30, 1992. No warrants were exercised. In December 1997, the Company authorized a 2.5 to 1 reverse split of common stock. Par value remained the same and $ 331 was transferred from common stock to paid-in capital. 4. Investment in Norwest S.A. In January 1998, the Company issued 20,000,000 common shares in exchange for all of the stock of Norwest S.A., a Brazilian corporation that will be operated as a wholly owned subsidiary. The stock has been recorded at par value until such time as an audit of Norwest S.A. is completed and the investment can be valued at equity. The majority of the assets of Norwest S.a. consists of land and timber in the Amazon basin of Brazil. 5. Residential Real Estate Held for Sale In December 1999, the Company issued 1,300,000 common shares in exchange for two residential properties subject to mortgage loans of $ 856,000. The properties were recorded at their appraised value and are presently being offered for sale. The mortgages bear interest at the rate of 11.75% payable monthly beginning January 2000. The principal is due in December 2000. 6. Stockholder loan. The stockholder loan is a promissory note dated November 1999 bearing interest at the rate of 14.99%. Terms of the note are monthly principal and interest payments based on a 30 year amortization with a balloon payment in November 2001. 7. Litigation On November 2, 1991 the State of Oregon issued a cease and desist order ordering the Company to cease and desist issuing unregistered securities in the State of Oregon. The proceeding was based on the distribution of shares and warrants to Oregon shareholders (registered by way of an S-18 registration statement) pursuant to the agreement for such distribution between the Company and Automated Services, Inc. On April 4, 1992 the State of Oregon issued a final order to cease and desist violating any provision of Oregon Securities Law. The Company was denied the use of any statutory exemption provided in ORS 59.022 and ORS 59.035. Xanthic was assessed three civil penalties of $ 750.00 each for violating ORS 59.055 and ORS 59.132(2). Directors Mark Lilly and Glenn DeCicco were ordered to cease and desist violating any provision of ORS Chapter 59. Neither the Company nor the Directors appealed. The Company has been advised that the effect of the Oregon ruling was to invalidate the issuance and distribution of the registered shares and warrants to residents of Oregon until such time as said securities are registered pursuant to the provisions of the Oregon Securities Law. The number of shares affected by the ruling is estimated to be 188,000 shares owned by approximately 650 residents of Oregon.
