BANKENGINE TECCHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2002 and 2001


1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ORGANIZATION


Bankengine Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "BankEngine")  is a long distance telecommunications service provider through its 70% owned subsidiary, Platinum Telecommunications, Inc. The Company also is in the business of software development for its new software product, Critical Commerce Suite, to provide video streaming analysis tools and computer consulting, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Critical Commerce Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Cyberstation Computers and Support, Inc. ("Cyberstation"), a company operating in Canada.  The operations of the Company are predominately in Canada, however, the financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION


On January 5, 2001, Callmate Telecom International, Inc. ("Callmate") acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of WebEngine Technologies, Inc.(WebEngine) in exchange for 12,000,000 common shares of Callmate in a reverse acquisition. 9,200,000 common shares of Callmate held by previous shareholders of Callmate were cancelled in exchange for all of the shares of its subsidiaries which carry on the UK operations of Callmate. The acquisition by the shareholders of WebEngine of a majority of the shares of Callmate has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. As Callmate became substantially a shell after the removal of the UK operations, no goodwill has been reflected on this acquisition. Although Callmate is the legal acquirer, WebEngine is treated as having acquired Callmate for accounting purposes. Callmate has been accounted for as the successor to WebEngine. Callmate changed its name to BankEngine Technologies Inc. on March 5, 2001.


WebEngine was incorporated in November 2000 in order to hold the shares of Cyberstation.  The shareholders of Cyberstation became the shareholders of WebEngine and therefore WebEngine has been considered to be a successor to Cyberstation. WebEngine has changed its name to Critical Commerce Inc.


The historical financial statements of BankEngine are those of Cyberstation as the company has been accounted for as the successor to Cyberstation.


The estimated income tax costs of the divestiture of the UK operations, in the amount of $50,000, has been treated as a reduction of the assets acquired on the acquisition of the shell company and has been included in income taxes payable.


The acquisition of Callmate, as a reverse acquisition, was reflected as follows;


Cash - escrow

$601,457

Accounts payable

(316,000)

Income taxes payable

(50,000)


Capital stock issued

$235,457




F-7








The accounts payable assumed on the acquisition of Callmate includes $146,000 for short falls which may arise on settlement with a credit card company.  Callmate operated a retail and wholesale telecommunications operations and permitted payment by its retail customers through credit card facility.  The credit card company is holding funds on deposit to be applied against refused credit card charges and has agreed that the limit of the Company's liability is the amount of the security held on hand.  As detailed in Note 11, final settlement of the liability for chargebacks and the receipt of the balance of the funds on deposit is expected during 2003.


As discussed in Note 2, on April 5, 2002, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cyberstation, acquired 70% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Platinum Telecommunications Inc. for the issuance of 1,800,000 common shares of BankEngine Technologies, Inc.


 MANAGEMENT INTENTIONS


The Company has sustained recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company also has a working capital deficit of approximately $160,000 and a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $235,000 at August 31, 2002.  Management plans to mitigate these adverse conditions through the following activities:


As discussed in Note 2 the Company has acquired a subsidiary, Platinum Telecommunications, Inc.  After careful consideration and examination of international market trends, the Company has decided to re-enter the telecom arena with the acquisition of Platinum.  Platinum presents an opportunity for the Company due to is low cost of acquisition combined with existing expertise within the Company leading to possible positive synergies.  Internationally, many telecommunications companies have ceased operations and this has allowed for less competition in the market place.  Opportunity thus exists for small, cost-conscious, operators who can utilize the latest IP based technology in order to leap frog some competitors.  Platinum owns an IP based switch for the purposes of buying and selling long distance telephone time.  When combined with substantial IP expertise possessed by the Company, we feel the opportunity exists to succeed in this niche based market place while mitigating any substantial risk.


Because of BankEngine's expertise in the are of online development and transaction processing research/development, the Company believes that the possible synergies make the transaction advantageous for shareholders.  Specifically, the advent of TCP/IP (the backbone language of the Internet) based telephony solutions for Telephony over the last two years will allow the Company to contribute substantially to the technological developments required to further develop Platinum's business.  The Company has excellent resources in the area of programming of IP Telephony which arguably is one of the most important components of IP based Telephony companies.


The Company has developed a new software product, the Critical Commerce Suite. The Critical Commerce Suite is a sophisticated online entertainment database and billing system that manages an entire online entertainment business. From the serving and management of video streaming, management of images for viewing, and sale, the Suite provides cutting edge management tools for sophisticated management oversight. The Critical Commerce Suite can either be offered as a service, whereby the Company manages a series of sites and content for a monthly fee, or is licensed with fees corresponding to the number clients managed and services offered. The Company has finalized development and is currently focusing its efforts on marketing this new product


The Company's unaudited operations subsequent to August 31, 2002 has generated an operating profit.  The Company believes that its current operations and cash balances will be sufficient to satisfy its currently anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The earnings of the subsidiaries are included from the date of acquisition for acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


USE OF ESTIMATES


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts to banks, and any other highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.


CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and temporary cash investments.  The Company grants credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without requiring collateral.  Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition.  The Company controls its exposure to credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures and establishes allowances for anticipated losses.


The Company places its temporary cash investments with quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial instrument.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


The Company’s revenues from its telecommunications business is recognized when the earnings process is complete. This occurs when the services have been utilized, collection is probable and pricing is fixed or determinable.


The Company provides computer consulting services in a number of areas including database management, on-line transaction processing and e-mail capabilities. Revenue is recognized as pre-determined milestones are accomplished and consulting services delivered.


DEPRECIATION


Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided using the following annual rates:


Telecommunication switch

- 25% per year on a straight line basis

Furniture and Fixture

- 20%  declining balance method

Computer Equipment

- 30% - declining balance method





F-9









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 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. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.


LONG-LIVED ASSETS


Long-lived assets are comprised of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Intangible assets consist principally of the excess purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired. Intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over 2 years. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, including the undiscounted future net proceeds from the sale of the asset,  or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists.   As of August 31, 2002 the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $24,000.


LOSS PER COMMON SHARE


Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares used in computing diluted earnings per share relate to stock options and warrants which, if exercised, would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.  The number of potential common shares outstanding were 600,000 and -0- for the years ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  During the years ended August 31, 2002 and 2001 potential common shares outstanding were omitted from the calculation of loss per share as the effect would be antidilutive.


FOREIGN CURRENCY


The Company's functional currency is primarily the Canadian dollar.  All assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the current exchange rate. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in financial expenses.



INVESTMENTS


The Company accounts for investments in which the Company holds an interest of at least 20% and the Company has significant influence under the equity method.  For the years ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company has reflected no income or loss from its investments as their effect would not be material.  See Note 4.





F-10









COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT


The Company accounts for the cost of developing computer software for sale as research and development expenses until the technological feasibility of the product has been established. To date all costs have been expensed. In the future,  After the technological feasibility of the product has been established at the end of each year the Company will compare any unamortized capital costs to the net realizable value of the product to determine if a reduction in carrying value will be warranted.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


For financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans payable, it was assumed that the carrying amounts approximated fair value because of the short maturities of such instruments.


SEGMENT REPORTING


The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB") statement No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". The Company has considered its operations and has determined that it operates in two operating segments, software development and telecom, for purposes of presenting financial information and evaluating performance. As such, the accompanying financial statements present information in a format that is consistent with the financial information used by management for internal use.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  Under the new rules, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment.  Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.  The amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001.  With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the Company adopted the new accounting rules on January 1, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 141 and 142 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.



In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the financial statements.


In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which significantly changed the criteria required for classifying an asset as held-for-sale. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 at the beginning of fiscal year 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have any impact on the Company's  financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, which, among other things, changed the presentation of gains and losses on the extinguishments of debt. Any gain or loss on extinguishments of debt that does not meet the criteria in APB Opinion 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions”, shall be included in operating earnings and not presented separately as an extraordinary item. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement.


In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities." The provisions of this Statement are effective for disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement.
