PART I
ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business
-------------------------------
We were organized under the laws of the State of Colorado under the name of
"NetEscapes, Inc.," on September 24, 1998. We changed our name to "EasyWeb,
Inc." on February 2, 1999. Our executive offices are presently located at 6025
South Quebec Street, Suite 135, Englewood, Colorado 80111, and our telephone and
facsimile numbers are (720) 493-0303 and (720) 529-6749, respectively.
We design, market, sell and maintain customized and template, turnkey sites
on the worldwide web, or the Internet, hosted by third parties. We refer to the
template web sites as "turnkey" because the customer receives, for the purchase
price paid, a fully-operational site on the Internet from which to advertise its
business, products and/or services. Each of these template sites includes the
basic features such as identifying information, business logo, photographs,
graphics and/or text provided by the customer. The template is a simple,
"fill-in-the-blank" form that can be completed by the customer with handwritten
information about the business. There is no additional cost for technical
assistance or infrastructure. Common web site options may be added to the
template site on an as-needed basis.
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar
proceeding.
We have not been subject to any material reclassification, merger,
consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the
ordinary course of business.
(b) Narrative Description of the Business
-------------------------------------
General
-------
Our business plan is prepared based upon the popularity of the Internet and
the growing number of businesses interested in advertising and marketing online.
From our inception through December 31, 2003, we have sold less than ten web
sites and realized only minimal revenue of $9,547 from the design,
4
sale and maintenance of Internet sites. Our operations were very limited during
the year ended December 31, 2003. We did not perform any services or earn any
revenue during 2003.
We are currently dependent upon an affiliate, Summit Financial Relations,
Inc. ("Summit"), which has paid expenses on our behalf, in order to maintain our
limited operations. There is no assurance that Summit will continue to pay our
expenses in the future.
Our future success will be dependent upon our ability to locate and
consummate a merger or acquisition with an operating company and, ultimately, to
attain profitability. There is no assurance that we will be successful in
consummating a merger or acquisition with an operating company or that we will
attain profitability.
Research and Development
------------------------
We are not engaged in any research and development activities.
Competition
-----------
The market for web site design and maintenance services is intensely
competitive. Additional companies are expected to enter the competition in the
future. We anticipate that we will be in competition with companies of all sizes
located in the United States that offer Internet web site design, hosting and
maintenance services to business customers. A number of these companies offer
essentially the same products and services as EasyWeb and compete in the areas
of price and service. We must make changes on a timely basis in the nature,
price, quality and other aspects of our products and services in response to
changes in the market. We expect to compete by marketing our products and
services online and via radio, newspaper and indoor sign advertising. We intend,
through the use of online marketing and independent contractors, to minimize our
weaknesses, including, among others, our undercapitalization, cash shortage,
limitations with respect to personnel, technological, financial and other
resources and lack of a customer base and market recognition, and to eliminate
the need for a sizeable retail facility and marketing staff. Many of the
companies and other organizations with which we will be in competition are
established and have far greater financial resources, substantially greater
experience and larger staffs than EasyWeb. Additionally, many of these
organizations have proven operating histories, which we lack. We expect to face
strong competition from both well-established companies and small independent
companies like us. In addition, in the future, AT&T, Qwest Communications and
other "Baby Bell" and other telecommunications companies may offer customers
assistance in establishing web sites at costs lower than those available from
us. Additionally, our business may be subject to decline because of generally
increasing costs and expenses of doing business, thus further increasing
anticipated competition. Further, it is anticipated that there may be
significant technological advances in the future and we may not have adequate
creative management and resources to enable us to take advantage of these
advances. The effects of any of these technological advances on EasyWeb,
therefore, cannot be presently determined.
Employees and Consultants
-------------------------
As of the date hereof, we employ two individuals, including Mr. David C.
Olson and Ms. Barbara Petrinsky, the President/Treasurer and the Secretary,
respectively, of EasyWeb, on a part-time basis. No cash compensation has been
awarded to, earned by or paid to either of the foregoing or Mr. Thomas M.
Vickers, a director of EasyWeb together with Mr. Olson, for all services
rendered in all capacities through December 31, 2003. Mr. Vickers received
200,000 shares of our common stock in consideration for agreeing to serve as a
director of EasyWeb. We do not anticipate that he will be awarded any cash
compensation for the foreseeable future. For the foreseeable future, Mr. David
C. Olson and Ms. Barbara Petrinsky will receive no compensation in any form for
their services performed in the capacities as our executive officers and/or
directors. Mr. Olson and Ms. Petrinsky devote approximately 25 percent of their
5
time and effort to the business and affairs of EasyWeb and Mr. Vickers devotes
only such time as is necessary for him to perform his responsibilities as a
director of EasyWeb.
(c) Organization
------------
We are comprised of one corporation with no subsidiaries or parent
entities.
(d) Operations
----------
Our operations were very limited during the year ended December 31, 2003.
We did not perform any services or earn any revenue during 2003.
(e) Proprietary Information
-----------------------
We have no proprietary information.
(f) Government Regulation
---------------------
We are not subject to any material governmental regulation or approvals.
(g) Environmental Compliance
------------------------
At the present time, we are not subject to any material costs for
compliance with any environmental laws.
ITEM 2...DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We maintain our offices at the business offices located at 6025 South
Quebec Street, Suite #135, Englewood, Colorado 80111, of Summit, an affiliated
corporation of which Mr. David C. Olson, the President, the Treasurer, a
director and a controlling shareholder of EasyWeb, is the President, a director
and the sole shareholder. Summit leases its offices from an unaffiliated company
and shares the offices with that company and a number of other affiliated
companies.
Summit has contributed the use of office space and administrative support
(including reception, secretarial and bookkeeping services) to us for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
The office space and administrative support contributed by Summit has a
fair market value of approximately $500 and $1,000 per month, respectively. We
have recognized expenses for rent and administrative support based on fair
market value. Any period in which the amount paid to Summit for office space and
administrative support was below the fair market value, the remaining balance
was considered contributed by Summit and recorded as a credit to additional
paid-in capital in our financial statements. During the years ended December 31,
2003 and 2002, we paid Summit $-0- and $1,000 for office space, respectively,
and we paid Summit $510 and $960 for administrative support, respectively.
Accordingly, Summit contributed the remaining fair values for the use of the
office space and administrative support. Contributed office space totaled $6,000
and $5,000, and contributed administrative support totaled $11,490 and $11,040
for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The office space we currently occupy is expected to be adequate to meet our
foreseeable future needs. We own no real property.
6
ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No legal proceedings of a material nature to which we are a party were
pending during the reporting period, and we know of no legal proceedings of a
material nature, pending or threatened, or judgments entered against any of our
directors or officers in their capacity as such.
ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
We did not submit any matter to a vote of security holders through
solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the fourth quarter of the year
covered by this report.
PART II
ITEM 5 MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND SMALL
BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
(a) Principal Market or Markets
---------------------------
Our common stock does not trade on any market or exchange.
(b) Approximate Number of Holders of Common Stock
---------------------------------------------
The number of holders of record of our Common Stock at December 31, 2003,
was approximately 59.
(c) Common stock sales
------------------
During March 2003, we sold 200,000 shares of our common stock to an
unrelated third party for $10,000, or $.05 per share.
(d) Dividends
---------
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may
be declared by our Board of Directors. No dividends on the common stock were
paid during the periods reported herein nor do we anticipate paying dividends in
the foreseeable future.
(e) The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires
additional disclosure and documentation related to the market for penny stock
and for trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. Unless we can acquire
substantial assets and trade at over $5.00 per share on the bid, it is more
likely than not that our securities, for some period of time, would be defined
under the Act as a "penny stock." As a result, those who trade in our securities
may be required to provide additional information about their fitness to trade
our shares. Also, there is the requirement of a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document
that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock
market. Further, a broker-dealer 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. These
requirements present a substantial burden on any person or brokerage firm who
plans to trade out securities and would thereby make it unlikely that any liquid
trading market would ever result in our securities while provisions of this Act
might be applicable to those securities.
7
(f) Blue Sky Compliance
-------------------
The trading of penny stock companies may be restricted by the securities
laws ("Blue Sky" laws) of the several states. Management is aware that a number
of states currently prohibit the unrestricted trading of penny stock companies
absent the availability of exemptions, which are in the discretion of the
states' securities administrators. The effect of these states' laws would be to
limit the trading market, if any, for our shares and to make resale of shares
acquired by investors more difficult.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward-Looking statements
--------------------------
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding our
Company, its business, prospects and results of operations that are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that could
cause our actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ
materially from those that may be anticipated by such forward-looking
statements. Factors that may affect such forward-looking statements include,
without limitation; our ability to successfully develop new products for new
markets; the impact of competition on our revenues; changes in law or regulatory
requirements that adversely affect or preclude clients from using our products
for certain applications; delays our introduction of new products or services;
and our failure to keep pace with emerging technologies.
When used in this discussion, words such as "believes", "anticipates",
"expects", "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying
forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
report. Our Company undertakes no obligation to revise any forward-looking
statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may subsequently
arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures made by us in this report and other reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that attempts to advise interested parties of
the risks and factors that may affect our business.
General
-------
EasyWeb's business plan is to design, market, sell and maintain customized
and template, turnkey sites on the Internet, hosted by third parties. Our
business plan is prepared based upon the popularity of the Internet and the
growing number of businesses interested in advertising and marketing online. We
have generated only $9,547 in revenue and have a retained deficit of $(246,317)
through December 31, 2003. We did not perform any services or earn any revenue
during 2003.
Plan of Operation
-----------------
Our future success will be dependent upon (1) our ability to locate and
consummate a merger or acquisition with an operating company, (2) to finance
Internet opportunities if the Company is allowed to trade publicly and raise
capital and, ultimately, (3) to attain profitability. There is no assurance that
we will be successful in consummating a merger or acquisition with an operating
company, financing Internet investments, or attaining profitability. As of the
date of this filing, we have had no discussions and no agreements have been
reached with any third parties regarding such a business combination.
We are experiencing capital shortages and are currently dependent upon an
affiliate, Summit Financial Relations, Inc. ("Summit"), which has paid expenses
on our behalf, in order to maintain our limited operations. There is no
assurance that Summit will continue to pay our expenses in the future. As of
December 31, 2003, we owed Summit $18,111 for expenses paid on our behalf.
8
As a result of our inability to generate significant revenue to date
together with sizeable continuing operating expenses, access to capital may be
unavailable in the future except from affiliated persons. If we are able to
obtain access to outside capital in the future, it is expected to be necessarily
costly because of high rates of interest and fees. Through December 31, 2003, in
addition to the expenses paid by Summit, we have been funded through the sale of
our common stock for gross proceeds in the amount of $130,050 including proceeds
of $10,000 through the sale of 200,000 shares of our common stock ($.05 per
share) during March 2003.
While our independent auditor has presented our financial statements on the
basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a
reasonable length of time, they have noted that our significant operating losses
and net capital deficit raise a substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern.
Inflation
---------
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our business.
Seasonality
-----------
We do not believe that our business is seasonal.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The report of the independent auditors on the financial statements appears
at Page F-2 and the financial statements and accompanying footnotes appear at
Pages F-3 through F-11 hereof. These financial statements and related financial
information required to be filed hereunder commence on Page F-1 of this Form and
are incorporated herein by this reference.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have been no disagreements between the Company and its independent
accountants on any matter of accounting principles or financial statement
disclosure.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive
Officer and Principal Accounting Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this annual
report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon such evaluation, the officer has
concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in alerting him on a timely basis to material
information relating to our Company (including our consolidated subsidiary)
required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the
Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in internal controls over Financial Reporting. During the most
recent fiscal year, there have not been any significant changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal controls over financial reporting.
9
PART III
ITEM 9. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS;
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.
(a) Directors and Executive Officers
--------------------------------
The names and ages of our directors and executive officers are as follows:
Name Age Position
---- --- --------
David C. Olson* 43 President, Treasurer and Director
Thomas M. Vickers 65 Directo
Barbara Petrinsky 61 Secretary
* May be deemed a "promoter" and "parent" of our Company, as those terms
are defined under the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Directors hold office until our next annual shareholder meeting and until
their respective successors have been elected and qualify. Officers serve at the
pleasure of the Board of Directors. Mr. Olson and Ms. Petrinsky devote up to 25
percent of their time and effort to our business affairs and Mr. Vickers devotes
only such time as is necessary for him to perform his responsibilities as a
director of our Company.
We currently have no committees, which is why we do not have an Audit
Committee Financial Expert.
No family relationship exists between or among our executive officers and
directors.
(b) Business Experience
-------------------
David C. Olson has served as the President, the Treasurer and a director of
EasyWeb since March 11, 1999. Since May 1997, Mr. Olson has been President of
Summit Financial Relations, Inc., a business consulting and investor relations
firm located in Englewood, Colorado. From January 1993 until May 1997, Mr. Olson
held various positions including national sales manager at Cohig and Associates,
Inc. (now part of EastBrokers International, Inc.), a securities broker-dealer
firm in Englewood, Colorado with 265 brokers and offices in 23 states which
specialize in small cap and growth stocks. Mr. Olson has not been associated
with any brokerage firm since May 1997.
Thomas M. Vickers has served as a director of EasyWeb since December 7,
2001. Since 1984, Mr. Vickers has been the owner and president of Thomas Vickers
Investments located in Englewood, Colorado. His company is primarily active in
real estate and private investments. Mr. Vickers is presently semi-retired but
stays active in the area of private investments and venture capital
opportunities. Prior to moving to Denver, Colorado from Wichita, Kansas in 1984,
Mr. Vickers was employed in the investment business with New York Stock Exchange
firm A.G. Edwards and Sons (1961-1973) where he was a vice president and later,
Dean Witter Reymolds (1973-1983) where he was a vice president and district
manager. Mr. Vickers attended Wichita State University from 1956 to 1960, at
which time he was recruited into the first "on Wall Street Training Program" in
its history by Bache and Company. In addition to his other activities, Mr.
Vickers has served on the boards of directors of several companies through out
his business career.
10
Barbara Petrinsky has served as our Secretary since July 26, 1999. She has
been employed by Summit Financial Relations, an affiliated company, as
operations manager since November 1998. In this position, her responsibilities
include bookkeeping, payroll, investor/client relations, preparation of press
releases, telephone answering, filing and general office management. From April
1990 to July 1998, Mrs. Petrinsky was employed by Montessori Mid-America and
from September 1996 to July 1998, she served as the Director of the Montessori
School at the Denver Technological Center.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in
ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers,
directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To the Company's knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of
such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other
reports were required during the year ended December 31, 2003, all Section 16(a)
filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10%
beneficial owners were complied with.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has always encouraged its employees, including officers and
directors to conduct business in an honest and ethical manner. Additionally, it
has always been the Company's policy to comply with all applicable laws and
provide accurate and timely disclosure. Despite the foregoing, we currently do
not have a formal written code of ethics for either our directors or employees.
ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
No cash compensation has been awarded to, earned by or paid to Messrs.
David C. Olson and Thomas M. Vickers, President/Treasurer/director and a
director of EasyWeb, respectively, and Ms. Barbara Petrinsky, our Secretary, for
all services rendered in all capacities to EasyWeb since our inception on
September 24, 1998. It is anticipated that, for the foreseeable future, Mr.
Olson and Ms. Petrinsky, will receive no compensation in any form for services
to EasyWeb in their capacities of executive officer and/or director. During
2001, we awarded Mr. Vickers 200,000 shares of our common stock in consideration
for his agreement to serve as a director of EasyWeb. We do not anticipate
awarding him any cash compensation for his services in the foreseeable future.
See Part I, Item 2. "Description of Property," for a description of the
administrative support transactions between EasyWeb and Summit Financial
Relations, Inc., an affiliated company of which Mr. Olson is the President, a
director and the sole shareholder. We paid Summit $510 and $1,960 during the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for use of office space
and administrative support services at Summit's offices. As the sole shareholder
of Summit, Mr. Olson benefited indirectly from these payments.
Under Colorado law and pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, the
officers and directors of EasyWeb may be indemnified for various expenses and
damages resulting from their acting in such capacity. Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our
officers or directors pursuant to those provisions, EasyWeb has been informed by
our counsel that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
11
Incentive Stock Option Plan
---------------------------
Effective as of March 11, 1999, Mr. David C. Olson, our then sole director
and shareholder, approved the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") reserving
an aggregate of 175,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of
stock options granted to our employees, consultants and non-employee members of
the Board of Directors under the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the
growth and general prosperity of EasyWeb by permitting us to grant options
exercisable to purchase shares of common stock to our employees, consultants and
non-employee members of the Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the Plan, we may grant incentive stock options within the
meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to
employees as well as non-qualified stock options to employees, officers,
directors and consultants. The Plan provides for administration by our Board of
Directors or by a committee that comprises disinterested members of the Board of
Directors. The Board or the committee selects the optionees, authorizes the
grant of options and determines the number of underlying shares of common stock,
the exercise price, the term (not to exceed ten years) and any other terms and
conditions of the options. The Board of Directors administers the plan.
The exercise price of each stock option under the Plan must be at least 100
percent of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of
grant as determined by the Board of Directors. Each incentive stock option may
be exercisable for a period, as determined by the Board of Directors, but not in
excess of ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of all incentive
stock options granted under the Plan to shareholders possessing more than 10
percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock must be
less than 110 percent of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on
the date of grant and those options may be exercisable for a period not in
excess of five years from the date of grant. All options granted under the Plan
are non-transferable and may be exercised only by the optionee or the optionee's
estate.
There is no limit on the number of shares with respect to which options may
be granted under the Plan to any participating employee. However, the aggregate
fair market value of shares of common stock (determined on the date the option
is granted) with respect to which incentive stock options become exercisable for
the first time by an individual option holder during any calendar year (under
all such plans maintained by EasyWeb) may not exceed $100,000.
Options granted under the Plan may be exercised within twelve months after
the date of an optionee's termination of employment by reason of his death or
disability, or within three months after the date of termination by reason of
retirement or voluntary termination approved by the Board of Directors, but only
to the extent the option was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination.
In the event an optionee's employment is terminated for any reason other than
death, disability, retirement or voluntary termination approved by the Board of
Directors, the optionee's option terminates thirty days after the date of such
termination.
The Plan will terminate on February 24, 2009. The Plan may be amended by
the Board of Directors without shareholder approval, except that no amendment
that increases the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under
the Plan or changes the class of employees who are eligible to participate in
the Plan, can be made without the approval of our shareholders. As of December
31, 2002, 100,000 options were outstanding and exercisable. These options were
granted to Terry Romero, a consultant, on December 20, 2001. Options granted
under the Plan, and shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of any those
options, will not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities will be offered pursuant to
the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D promulgated under
Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of, or other available exemption under, the Securities
Act of 1933. Accordingly, resales of the securities will be subject to the
registration requirements of Section 5 of, and Rule 144 of the General Rules and
Regulations promulgated under, the Securities Act of 1933.
12
The Plan provides that the number of shares of common stock underlying each
option and the exercise price of the option shall be proportionately adjusted in
the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar
capital adjustment that is effected without receipt of additional consideration
by EasyWeb.
Compensation of Directors
-------------------------
Directors of EasyWeb receive no compensation pursuant to any standard
arrangement for their services as directors. However, directors who are not
officers may be paid an annual fee or a fee per meeting of the Board of
Directors in an amount to be determined in the future by the Board of Directors.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Because of their management positions, organizational efforts and/or
percentage share ownership in EasyWeb, Messrs. Olson and Zappa may be deemed to
be "parents" and "promoters" of the Company, as those terms are defined in the
Securities Act of 1933 and the applicable Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Act of 1933. Because of the above-described relationships,
transactions between and among EasyWeb and Messrs. Olson and Zappa, such as the
sale of our common stock to each of them as described above, should not be
considered to have occurred at arm's-length.
Common Stock Transactions
-------------------------
During January 2002, we sold 33,333 and 16,667 shares of our common stock
to Mr. Olson and Ms. Petrinsky, respectively, at $.03 per share (gross proceeds
totaling $1,500). Both Mr. Olson and Ms. Petrinsky are officers of EasyWeb. In
addition to the 50,000 shares sold to Mr. Olson and Ms. Petrinsky, we sold
500,000 shares of our common stock to unrelated third parties for gross proceeds
totaling $15,000, or $.03 per share.
Office Space and Administrative Support
---------------------------------------
Summit has contributed the use of office space and administrative support
(including reception, secretarial and bookkeeping services) to us for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
The office space and administrative support contributed by Summit has a
fair market value of approximately $500 and $1,000 per month, respectively. We
have recognized expenses for rent and administrative support based on fair
market value. Any period in which the amount paid to Summit for office space and
administrative support was below the fair market value, the remaining balance
was considered contributed by Summit and recorded as a credit to additional
paid-in capital in our financial statements. During the years ended December 31,
2003 and 2002, we paid Summit $-0- and $1,000 for office space, respectively,
and we paid Summit $510 and $960 for administrative support, respectively.
Accordingly, Summit contributed the remaining fair values for the use of the
office space and administrative support. Contributed office space totaled $6,000
and $5,000, and contributed administrative support totaled $11,490 and $11,040
for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
15
Liabilities
-----------
At December 31, 2003, we owed Summit $18,111 for professional fees and
other administrative expenses paid on our behalf.
In April 2002, Mr. Olson loaned us $650 for working capital. The loan
carried no interest rate and was due on demand. The loan was repaid during the
year ended December 31, 2003.

Company does not have an audit committee at this time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders:
EasyWeb, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of EasyWeb, Inc. as of December
31, 2003, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of EasyWeb, Inc. as of December
31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 net capital deficit at December 31, 2003 and has
suffered significant operating losses since inception. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

EASYWEB, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
WITH BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
EasyWeb, Inc. (referenced as "we", "us", "our" in the accompanying footnotes)
was incorporated in Colorado on September 24, 1998 under the name NetEscapes,
Inc. Our name was changed to EasyWeb, Inc. on February 2, 1999. We design,
market, sell and maintain web sites on the Internet, which are built and hosted
by third party consultants. Our operations were very limited during the year
ended December 31, 2003. We did not perform any services or earn any revenue
during 2003 due to the lack of working capital.
Management changed the manner in which it presents our operating results and
cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2003. Management no longer
considers us in the development stage as defined by the FASB Statement of
Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises." As
a result, cumulative operating results and cash flow information are no longer
presented in the accompanying financial statements. This change does not affect
our operating results or financial position. Accordingly, no pro forma financial
information is necessary.
As of December 31, 2003, we have a net capital deficit and have suffered
significant operating losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going
concern. Inherent in our business are various risks and uncertainties, including
our limited operating history, historical operating losses, and dependence upon
its officers and strategic alliances. We are currently dependent upon an
affiliate, Summit Financial Relations, Inc. ("Summit"), which has paid expenses
on our behalf, in order to maintain our limited operations. There is no
assurance that Summit will continue to pay our expenses in the future.
Our future success will be dependent upon (1) our ability to locate and
consummate a merger or acquisition with an operating company, (2) to finance
Internet opportunities if the Company is allowed to trade publicly and raise
capital and, ultimately, (3) to attain profitability. There is no assurance that
we will be successful in consummating a merger or acquisition with an operating
company, financing Internet investments, or attaining profitability. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
CASH EQUIVALENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid
debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2003.
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities;
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-7
INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND AMORTIZATION
Our intangible assets consist of computer software and web site development
costs. We capitalize internal and external costs incurred to develop its web
site during the application development stage in accordance with Statement of
Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use". Capitalized web site development costs are amortized
over an estimated life of three years commencing on the date the software is
ready for its intended use. We commenced amortization of our web site
development costs on April 11, 2000. As of December 31, 2003, the web site
development costs were fully amortized.
Amortization expense totaled $486 and $799, respectively, for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002.
In addition, we have adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-2
("EITF 00-2"), "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs". EITF 00-2 requires
the implementation of SOP 98-1 when software is used by a vendor in providing a
service to a customer but the customer does not acquire the software or the
right to use it.
IMPAIRMENTS ON LONG-LIVED ASSETS
We evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets under the provisions of
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".
Statement No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets
used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are
less than the assets' carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to
sell.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
We account for loss per share under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share". Under SFAS No. 128, net loss per share-basic excludes dilution and
is determined by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net loss
per share-diluted reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities
and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
common stock. Common stock options outstanding at December 31, 2003 were not
included in the diluted loss per share as all 100,000 options were
anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted losses per share at December 31,
2003 were equal.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our sales are reported on a net basis in accordance with EITF 99-19, "Reporting
Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent". All of our revenues are
reported as commissions. We recognize revenue only after our service has been
performed and collectibility of its fee is reasonably assured. Revenues through
related party transactions are recognized when the service has been performed
and the cash has been received.
ADVERTISING BARTER TRANSACTIONS
We report our advertising barter transactions in accordance with EITF 99-17,
"Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions". Under EITF 99-17, revenue and
expense should be recognized at fair value from an advertising barter
transaction only if the fair value of the advertising surrendered in the
transaction is determinable based on the entity's own historical transactions
involving cash. We did not recognize any revenues or expenses in connection with
our advertising barter transactions for the periods presented.
F-8
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We account for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to
recognize as expense, over the vesting period, the fair value of all stock-based
awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allows entities to
continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principle Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 25 and provide pro forma net earnings (loss) disclosures for employee stock
option grants as if the fair value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been
applied. We have elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No.
25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. We did not
report pro forma disclosures in the accompanying financial statements as the
Company did not grant any employee stock options as of December 31, 2003.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes
related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The
deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences
of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets
and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for
operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax
credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes.
(2) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
LIABILITIES
At December 31, 2003, we owed Summit $18,111 for professional fees and other
administrative expenses paid on our behalf. The $18,111 is included in the
accompanying financial statements as "Due to affiliate".
In April 2002, an officer loaned us $650 for working capital. The loan carried
no interest rate and was due on demand. We repaid the loan during the year ended
December 31, 2003.
COMMON STOCK
During January 2002, we sold 50,000 shares of our common stock to our officers
for $1,500, or $.03 per share.
RENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
Rent
- ----
Summit contributed office space to us during the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002. Our management has estimated the fair market value of the office space
at $500 per month, which is included in the accompanying financial statements as
"Contributed rent" with an offsetting credit to "Additional paid-in capital".
We paid Summit $1,000 for rent during the year ended December 31, 2002, which
reduced the amount of contributed rent from $6,000 to $5,000 for the year.
Administrative support
- ----------------------
Summit contributed administrative services to the Company during the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002. Our management has estimated the fair market value
of the services at $1,000 per month, which is included in the accompanying
condensed financial statements as "Contributed administrative support" with an
offsetting credit to "Additional paid-in capital". We paid Summit $510 and $960,
respectively, for services during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002;
therefore, contributed administrative support totaled $11,490 and $11,040 for
the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

At December 31, 2003, deferred taxes consisted of a net tax asset of $37,942 due
to operating loss carryforwards of $187,976, which was fully allowed for, in the
valuation allowance of $37,942. The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred
tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The changes in the
valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $3,475
and $4,526, respectively. Net operating loss carryforwards will expire through
2023.
The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering
positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized. At that
time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result
in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that
the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer impaired and the allowance is
no longer required.
Should we undergo an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code, our net tax operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the
ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation which could reduce or
defer the utilization of those losses.
