The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 5 IKON VENTURES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 1 Summary of significant accounting policies and practices (a) Description of business Ikon Ventures, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in Nevada on May 31, 1997. The Company operated a Zeolite and related chemicals production facility in Mira, Italy, through its main subsidiary Zeolite Mira S.r.l. ("Zeolite Mira"). The Company's customers were major European detergent companies with a small proportion of production being sold through trading companies. At the beginning of 1999 Zeolite Mira was sold. The Company now has no trading operations and is exploring new opportunities. (b) Cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. (d) Research and development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. There were no research and development costs in the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. (e) Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. IKON VENTURES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (continued) 1 Summary of significant accounting policies and practices (continued) (f) Commitments and contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties which are probable of realization are separately recorded, and are not offset against the related environmental liability, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No.39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts. In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 96-1, Environmental Remediation Liabilities. SOP 96-1 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 1998 and requires, among other things, environmental remediation liabilities to be accrued when the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, have been met. The guidance provided by SOP 96-1 is consistent with the Company's current method of accounting for environmental remediation costs and, therefore, adoption of this new statement does not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Accruals for estimated losses for environmental remediation obligations generally are recognised no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. (g) 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, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. IKON VENTURES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (continued) 1 Summary of significant accounting policies and practices (continued) (h) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, on January 1, 1997. This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. (i) Foreign currency translation Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at current exchange rates. For operations using the US dollar or the currency of a highly inflationary economy as their functional currency, translation gains or losses are generally reported in non-interest revenues. Translation gains and losses for operations using any other currency as their functional currency are reported, net of tax effects, in stockholders' equity as cumulative translation adjustments. 2 Financial position and basis of accounting These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the commencement, continuation and expansion of trading activities as well as the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During 1997 the Company acquired the net liabilities of Zeolite Mira, issuing shares to finance the acquisition. The Company traded at a loss during 1997 and Zeolite Mira continued to record losses in 1998, depleting the Company's cash resources. The Company sold Zeolite Mira in 1999 resulting in the Company having no operating entities. Management's future plans for the Company are to enter into a business combination with one or more as yet unidentified privately held businesses. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to issue new stock which will be required to fund the purchase of additional businesses. This factor among others may indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. IKON VENTURES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (continued) 3 Acquisitions and dispositions There have been no acquisitions or dispositions in 2000 and 2001. 4 Fair value of financial instruments SFAS No 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other current assets, trade accounts payables and accrued expenses are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at fair value because of the short term maturity of these instruments. 5 Income taxes No credit has been taken for the operating losses which potentially give rise to a deferred tax asset for the Company, on the grounds that the directors do not believe that the company will be able to derive any value from such an asset. 6 Reconciliation of net loss to net cash provided by operating activities The reconciliation of net loss to net cash provided by operating activities was as follows:
March 31, 2001 March 31, 2000 $000 $000 Net loss (40) (167) Adjustments to reconcile loss to net cash provided by operating activities: Issue of common stock in payment of supplier - 40 Changes in assets and liabilities net of effect from acquisitions and disposals: Depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment 1 - (Decrease) increase in accounts payable 31 47 (Decrease) increase in accrued expenses and liabilities (11) 36 Decrease (increase) in prepayments and other assets - 40 --------- --------- Cash used by operating activities (19) (4)
9 IKON VENTURES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (continued) 7 Stock option and compensation plans In 1999, the Company adopted the Ikon Ventures, Inc.1999 Incentive Program ( the "1999 Plan") that permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights, in tandem with stock options or free standing, and restricted stock grants. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued or transferred under the 1999 Plan is 22,500 ( after giving effect to the reverse split effected in February 2001), subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2001, no award had been made under the 1999 Plan. In February 2001, the Company adopted the Ikon Ventures, Inc. 2001 Stock Compensation Plan (the "2001 Plan") that provides for the payment of compensation for services rendered through the award of shares of the Company's common stock. The aggregate number of shares that may be awarded under the 2001 Plan is 5,000,000 provided that no award may be issued that would bring the total of all outstanding awards under the 2001 Plan to more than 20% of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock at the time outstanding. As of March 31, 2001, no award had been made under the 2001 Plan. 8 Related party transactions Mr. I.W. Rice, a director of the Company, paid the following amounts in settlement of a debt to a supplier during the three month period ended March 31 2000. The amounts paid have been shown as a liability of the Company and are payable to Mr. Rice. March 31, 2001 March 31, 2000 $000 $000 Debt settled on behalf of IKON - 15 ========== ========== 9 Business and credit concentrations The business is not currently trading and has no concentration of business or credit risk. 10 ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION Results Of Operations The Company has been inactive since April 1999, when it disposed of all of its then operations. Accordingly, management believes that comparison between the results of operations for the current period and prior periods would not be meaningful. Liquidity And Capital Resources As of March 31, 2001 and May 5, 2001, the Company had no liquid assets. The Company has no commitments for any capital expenditure and foresees none. However, the Company will incur routine fees and expenses incident to its reporting duties as a public company, and it will incur fees and expenses if it makes or attempts to make an acquisition. The Company expects no significant operating costs other than professional fees payable to attorneys and accountants. The Company does not anticipate that funding will be necessary in order to complete a proposed business combination, except possibly for fees and costs of the Company's professional advisers. Accordingly, there are no plans to raise capital to finance any business combination, nor does management believe that any combination candidate will expect cash from the Company. The Company hopes to require the candidate companies to deposit with the Company an advance that the Company can use to defray professional fees and costs and travel, lodging and other due diligence costs of management. Otherwise, management would have to advance such costs out of their own pockets, and there is no assurance that they will advance such costs. Other routine expenses, such as making required filings with the SEC and related expenses will inevitably be incurred. In order to pay these, the Company will be forced to borrow money or prevail upon existing shareholders to provide additional capital, whether as a loan or investment, to the Company. It is by no means certain that existing shareholders will want or be financially able to do so. There are no plans to sell additional securities of the Company to raise capital. The Company's failure for any reason to timely file reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, could subject it to fines and penalties and make it less desirable to a potential combination candidate. None of these sources of funds is assured and, if no funds can be raised, the Company may be effectively unable to pursue its business plan. The Company's shareholders and management members who advance money to the Company to cover operating expenses will expect to be reimbursed by the company acquired, prior to or simultaneously with the completion of a combination. The Company has no intention of borrowing money to pay any officer, director or shareholder of the Company or their affiliates. Forward Looking Statements This Form 10-QSB and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the "Filings") contain or may contain forward looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company's management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Company's management. When used in the filings the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "future", "intend", "plan" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company's management identify forward looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company's operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by the Company. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, intended or planned. 11 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 Legal Proceedings None Item 2 Changes in Securities None Item 3 Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders At a duly called special shareholders' meeting on February 16, 2001, the shareholders of the Company approved the following actions by the votes indicated:
