Board of Directors
Anything Internet Corporation
Colorado Springs, Colorado
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Anything Internet
Corporation as of June 30, 1999 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from August 15,
1997 (inception) to June 30, 1998, and for the year ended June 30, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Anything Internet Corporation at
June 30, 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
period from August 15, 1997 (inception) to June 30, 1998, and for the year ended
June 30, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ANYTHING INTERNET CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(audited)
For the year ended June 30, 1999
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES:
Anything Internet Corporation ("Anything Internet", the "Company"), was
incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 15, 1997. The Company markets
and distributes computers and related accessory products by using the Internet
as the exclusive distribution channel. On August 28, 1998, Anything, Inc.
changed its name to Anything Internet Corporation, which was made effective
through an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation filed with the Secretary
of State of Colorado on August 31, 1998.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income tax
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets
are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss
carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of
changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less as cash equivalents.
F-8
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock
options, and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company's preferred
stock are not included in the computation if the effect of such inclusion would
be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.
Inventory
Inventory consists of consigned finished goods. Inventories are valued at the
lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under accelerated
methods over an estimated life of five to seven years.
Software development costs
It is the Company's policy to capitalize major software development activities
to reflect the value of the software over its anticipated useful life. The
Company amortizes this software over a three year period from the implementation
of the software.
Accounts receivable
The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectibility and
establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when
deemed necessary.
Products and services, geographic areas and major customers
Company sales were derived from marketing and distributing computers and related
products over the Internet, were to external customers, and were domestic. The
Company had no one major customer accounting for over 10% of its sales. The
Company's long term assets are all held domestically.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when a product is shipped to customers either
from the Company's inventory or when shipped from distributors' warehouses
directly to the customer. The Company assumes title to the product when it is
shipped either to the Company or directly to the Company's customer.
NOTE 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On December 31, 1998 the Company loaned Robert C. Schick, an officer, $18,023 at
a rate of 3% per annum. The note matures and is payable in full on December 31,
1999.
F-9
On June 16, 1999, the Company borrowed $75,000 from a related corporation with
an ownership interest in Anything Internet Corporation. The short-term loan was
made at a rate of 12% per annum, and comes due July 30, 1999.
NOTE 3. LEASE COMMITMENT
Effective June 3, 1999, the Company extended its lease agreement for office
space in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and effective March, 1999, entered into a
lease agreement for office space in Tampa, Florida. Both leases are for a
period of twelve-months and can be renewed at terms and conditions to be
established at expiration date. Lease expense incurred for the year ended June
30, 1999 was approximately $19,000. The remaining minimum future rental
payments, all in 1999, are $26,569.
NOTE 4. LINES OF CREDIT
To help finance the cost of inventory, Nations Credit Distribution Finance,
Inc., has extended the Company a credit line not to exceed $35,000. The
interest rate applicable to each transaction depends upon the vendor and the
timeliness of repayment, and ranges from 0% to 18%. The credit line is
unsecured. At June 30, 1999 the Company's outstanding balance on this credit
line was $1,292.
The Company has also established a $50,000 line of credit with US Bank of
Colorado Springs, Colorado. Payments are due on the 15th of each month and
interest accrues at the rate of 10.45% per annum. At June 30, 1999 the
Company's outstanding balance on this credit line was $27,762.
NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial
statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss
carryovers are limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant
change in ownership occur.
At June 30, 1999 the Company had approximately $615,000 of unused federal net
operating loss carryforwards, which begin to expire in the year 2019. A
deferred tax asset has been offset by 100% valuation allowance. The Company
accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS 109. The components of the Company's
assets and liabilities as follows:
F-10
June 30,1998 June 30, 1999
-------------- ---------------
Deferred tax liability $ - $ -
Deferred tax asset arising from:
Net operating loss carryforwards 7,321 240,417
-------------- ---------------

-------------- ---------------
Deferred:
Federal ($6,382) ($209,595)
State (939) (30,822)
-------------- ---------------
($7,321) ($240,417)
No difference exists between these amounts and amounts computed at federal and
state statutory rates. The net change in 1999 in the total valuation allowance
was $233,096.
NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common stock
The Company as of June 30, 1999 had 50,000,000 shares of authorized common
stock, no par value, with 3,040,400 shares issued and outstanding.
In May, 1998 an officer provided the company with $1,400 in cash and web page
design and development valued at $16,600. In August, 1998 the Company exchanged
1,950 shares of common stock for debt cancellation by an officer in the amount
of $10,500. Later in August, 1998, the Company retired all its 7,750 currently
outstanding shares, in addition to 4,200 retired earlier in the year, in
exchange for 500,000 shares of new Class A common stock. Also in August, 1998,
the Company purchased 200,000 Class A common shares of Banyan Corporation valued
at $40,000 in exchange for 1,000,000 Class A common shares of the Company. In
addition the Company issued 1,300,000 shares of Class A common stock for
management consulting, legal and investor relations services valued at $52,000
to parties unrelated to the Company or Banyan Corporation. In September, 1998,
the Company issued to the members of its Board of Directors 20,000 shares of
Class A common stock for services. In December, 1998 and January, 1999 the
Company sold 200,000 shares of Class A common stock for $200,000 in a private
placement. In January, 1999 the Company issued 20,400 common shares to
directors and others for compensation valued at $20,400.
Warrants
As of June 30, 1999, the Company had 200,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants
outstanding (the "Warrants"), issued in conjunction with a private placement
completed in January, 1999. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
share of the Company's Class A common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share through January 15, 2000, at which time the Warrants expire. The Company
may redeem the Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, at any time through
January 15, 2000 upon not less than 30 days, nor more than 60 days, prior
written notice, provided that the closing bid quotation for the common stock as
reported by any quotation service on which the common stock is quoted is at
least $4.00 for ten consecutive trading sessions ending on the two days prior to
the day on which notice is given.
F-11
Stock options
As of June 30, 1999, the Company made a stock option award to directors and
others and adopted an employee stock benefit plan, which are described below.
The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
stock options.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option award
to directors and its employee stock benefit plan, nor was any compensation cost
charged against income under the award or plan in 1999. Had compensation cost
for the Company's stock option award and employee stock benefit plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the stock
option award and employee stock benefit plan consistent with the method of FASB
Statement 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
1999
------------
Net income (loss) As reported ($591,688)
Pro forma ($1,497,389)
Basic and fully diluted earnings per share As reported ($0.24)
Pro form ($0.61)
Stock option award
In August, 1998, the Company granted stock options, exercisable immediately
(except as noted below), to certain officers and directors as compensation for
services, to purchase common shares of the Company as follows:
mount Price/Share Expiration Date
------- ------------ -------------------
500,000 $ 1 February 29, 2000

25,000 $ 100 April 1, 2002
*10,000 $ 3 March 31, 2003
* Option vests over 3 years.
Employee stock option plan
On June 4, 1999 the Company awarded stock options to four employees under an
employee stock option plan. 200,000 common shares were reserved under the plan,
which expires in June, 2007. Each employee received options to purchase 2,500
common shares (10,000 shares total). The options vest at 500 shares per year
per employee, beginning June 4, 2000, at an exercise price of $3 per share.
A summary of the status of the Company's stock options as of June 30, 1999, and

Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Inform Worldwide, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Income tax
The Company is designated for tax purposes as an S-Corporation and pays no
income tax at the corporate level.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less as cash equivalents.

Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock
options, and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company's preferred
stock are not included in the computation if the effect of such inclusion would
be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under accelerated
methods over an estimated life of five to thirty nine years. The Company's cost

the emerging L-commerce market. L-commerce combines Internet, wireless

sales in the U.S. to be more than $4 billion by 2004.

Company plans a 3rd quarter release of products that enable deployment of
L-commerce applications to the mass commercial and consumer marketplaces.

access and usage fees for our E-hub solution as well as by reselling data
packaged for industry-specific applications."
Ed Odenwalder, President of Inform Worldwide added, "Our ability to localize
applications by filtering content based on a user's location and then delivering
maps through desktop or wireless devices moves us beyond the free services being
offered by many vendors in today's marketplace. We will enable the next
generation of location services that provide benefits for which users will
willingly pay."

historically posted revenues in the area of $2 million, however as the Company
