BANKENGINE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FEBRUARY 28, 2003 AND 2002


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


The consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2003, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.  The information for the consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2002 was derived from audited financial statements.


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-5












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.


The Company presently does not have sufficient liquid assets to finance its anticipated funding needs and obligations.  The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing and achieve a level of sales adequate to support its cost structure.  Management is actively seeking additional capital to ensure the continuation of its activities and is also actively pursuing other investment opportunities.  However, there is no assurance that additional capital will be obtained or that other investment opportunities will be achieved.  These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.



 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 $297,000 and a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $417,000 at February 28, 2003.  Management plans to mitigate these adverse conditions through the following activities:


The company has, within the current fiscal quarter, decided to cease operations of both Platinum Telecommunications and Cyberstation while it searches for additional capital.  While the Company had earlier decided to re-enter the telecom arena with the acquisition of Platinum, the subsidiary has nonetheless continued to experience losses.  The Company had assumed that Platinum presented an opportunity for the Company to pursue further revenues in the international telecom arena. This was due to its low cost of acquisition combined with existing expertise within the Company leading to possible positive synergies.  The Company will continue to pursue additional sources of capital as well as potential mergers which may bring an infusion of additional funding.

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.



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.



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.









F-7













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.



GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES


Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives and are no longer amortized, but are subject to, at a minimum, an annual impairment test.  If the carrying value of goodwill or intangible assets exceeds its fair market value, an impairment loss would be recorded.  The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine fair market value of the Company's reporting units.


Other intangibles primarily include customer lists in connection with the Company's telecommunications activity.  Amounts assigned to these intangibles are based on independent appraisals.  Other intangibles are being amortized over 24 months.  The intangible asset was written down to $-0- during the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION


The Company accounts for equity-based compensation issued to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("ABP") Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".  ABP No. 25 requires the use of the intrinsic value method, which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  The Company makes disclosures of pro forma net earnings and earnings per share as if the fair-value-based method of accounting had been applied as required by SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure".


The Company accounts for equity-based compensation to non-employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.








F-8














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


In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”.  SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations and costs associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 on September 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.


In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  Under SFAS  No. 144 assets held for sale will be included in discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows will be or have been eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 144  on September 1, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.


In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". This statement eliminates the automatic classification of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item of income and requires that such gain or loss be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the criteria of Accounting Principles Board No. 30 "Reporting Results of Operations". This statement also requires sales-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sales-leaseback transactions, and makes various other technical corrections to existing pronouncements. This statement will be effective for the Company for the year ending August 31, 2003. Management believes that adopting this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.


In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities."  This Statement requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred.  Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon management's commitment to an exit plan.  Adoption of this Statement is required with the beginning of fiscal year 2003.  The Company has not yet completed the evaluation of the impact of adopting this Statement.


In January 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock –Based Compensation  - Transition and Disclosures. This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and frequent disclosures in the financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The transitional guidance and annual disclosure provisions of this Statement is effective for the August 31, 2003 financial statements. The interim reporting disclosure requirements will be effective for the Company’s May 31, 2003 10-QSB.







F-9















In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (”Interpretation”). This Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirement for most guarantees including loan guarantees, and clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair market value of the obligations it assume3s under that guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  


In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A variable interest entity often holds financial assets, including loans or receivables, real estate or other property. A variable interest entity may be essentially passive or it may engage in research and development or other activities on behalf of another company. The objective of Interpretation No. 46 is not to restrict the use of variable interest entities but to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. Until now, a company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests.  Interpretation No. 46 changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of Interpretation No. 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established.  The Company does not have any variable interest entities, and, accordingly, adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company.



2.   INVESTMENT IN PLATINUM TELECOMMUNICATIONS INC.


On April 5, 2002, the Company through its subsidiary Cyberstation, acquired 70% of the issued and outstanding stock of Platinum Telecommunications Inc. ("Platinum") for the issuance of 1,800,000 common shares of BankEngine Technologies Inc. The Company acquired Platinum, a long distance telecommunications service provider, in order to reenter the telecommunications industry. The results of operations of Platinum are included in the operations of the Company from April 5, 2002.


Unaudited pro forma results of operations after giving effect to certain adjustments resulting from this acquisition for the period ended November 30, 2001 as if the business combination had occurred at the beginning of each period presented are not material to the financial statements and, accordingly, are not presented herein.


The investment has been accounted for by the purchase method as follows;
