The issuer's net sales for the most recent fiscal year were $-0-.


The aggregate market value of the voting stock held by non-affiliates based upon the last sale price on December 12, 2003 was approximately $235,522.32.


As of December 12, 2003 there were 19,535,893 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, outstanding.

















PART I


Item 1.  Business


BankEngine Technologies, Inc. (“BankEngine,” or the “Company”) was previously an international solutions provider and developer of Internet-based software and various electronic commerce solutions, as well as telephony solutions.


Callmate Telecom International, Inc. ("Callmate") acquired WebEngine Technologies International, Inc. ("WebEngine") pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement effective as of January 5, 2001. Callmate acquired all 12,000,000 shares of common stock of WebEngine in a share exchange, which exchange was effected on a one-for-one basis. The transaction was reported on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 16, 2001. Subsequent thereto, Callmate changed its name to BankEngine Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") as reported on Schedule 14C.


The Company determined to move away from the telecom business in the UK due to the increased competitiveness in this sector internationally and growing indebtedness. The trend internationally, and especially in the UK, in the telecom sector is for consolidation and competition from transnational corporations continues to be fierce. Many competitors have since ceased operations.  


On April 2, 2002, Cyberstation Computers and Support Inc., an Ontario corporation ("Cyberstation") and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") by and among Platinum Telecommunications, Inc. ("Platinum") and Mr. Zeeshan Saeed (the "Seller"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Cyberstation acquired seventy percent (70%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Platinum (the "Platinum Shares") in consideration for 1,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share. The Platinum Shares were acquired from the Seller, by whom Platinum was immediately before closing of the Agreement wholly owned.  


The Company has been considering whether, and if so how, to reorganize its telecommunications and software development  businesses, while remaining open to entering into a business combination.  In December 2003, the Company sold all of its interest in Platinum Telecommunications, which was its only source of revenue, as well as all of its shares of CyberStation.  In connection with the sale of such shares, the purchaser assumed approximately $384,000 in liabilities and received a minimal amount of assets from the Company.  Included in the liabilities assumed by the purchaser was a loan of $120,000 made by such purchaser to the Company.  This will result in a gain on the divestitures. The impact of the divestiture has been reflected in the financial statements for the year ending August 31, 2003.  The sale of the Platinum shares and the Cy berstation shares was made to Joseph J. Alves, our Chief Executive Officer.   Mr. Alves agreed to sell all of his shares of common stock of the Company on December 9, 2003 to an unaffiliated third party, Michael J. Xirinachs.


Effective December 9, 2003, Michael J. Xirinachs acquired an aggregate of 10,115,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 51.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, from Joseph J. Alves (9,615,000 shares), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and from Atlantica Marine (500,000 shares).  Mr. Xirinachs paid an aggregate of $100,000 from his personal funds to acquire such shares.  


Mr. Alves has agreed to remain as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer.  As a result of the sale of Platinum and CyberStation, we have no revenue and intend to aggressively seek a prospective business acquisition.



Item 2.   Properties


The Company currently occupies approximately 100 square feet of office space within the personal offices of Joseph J. Alves located at 157 Adelaide Street, Suite 426, Toronto, ON M5H 4E7.  The Company does not have a lease for this space and is not required to pay any rent for occupying such space.


The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its current operations.



Item 3.   Legal Proceedings


The Company is not subject to any material legal proceedings.



Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


The Company did not submit any matters to a vote of its security-holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003.



PART II


Item 5.  Market for BankEngine's Common Stock

The payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon BankEngine’s earnings, its capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. BankEngine intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain future earnings for use in its business.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Forward-looking Statements


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.


This filing contains forward-looking statements. The words "anticipated," "believe," "expect, "plan," "intend," "seek," "estimate," "project," "will," "could," "may," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, information regarding future operations, future capital expenditures, and future net cash flow. Such statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, general economic and business conditions, changes in foreign, political, social, and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations, the ability to achieve further market penetra tion and additional customers, and various other matters, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated, or otherwise indicated. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this filing are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance of the actual results or developments.


Callmate Telecom International, Inc. ("Callmate") acquired WebEngine Technologies International, Inc. ("WebEngine") pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement effective as of January 5, 2001. Callmate acquired all 12,000,000 shares of common stock of WebEngine in a share exchange, which exchange was effected on a one-for-one basis. The transaction was reported on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 16, 2001. Subsequent thereto, Callmate changed its name to BankEngine Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") as reported on Schedule 14C. The Company filed the Definitive 14C on March 5, 2001.


The Company determined to move away from the telecom business in the UK due to the increased competitiveness in this sector internationally and growing indebtedness. The trend internationally, and especially in the UK, in the telecom sector is for consolidation and competition from transnational corporations continues to be fierce. Many competitors have since ceased operations.  


On April 2, 2002, Cyberstation Computers and Support Inc., an Ontario corporation ("Cyberstation") and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") by and among Platinum Telecommunications, Inc. ("Platinum") and Mr. Zeeshan Saeed (the "Seller"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Cyberstation acquired seventy percent (70%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Platinum (the "Platinum Shares") in consideration for 1,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share. The Platinum Shares were acquired from the Seller, by whom Platinum was immediately before closing of the Agreement wholly owned. The Agreement was effective as of April 5, 2002. The transaction was negotiated on an arms-length basis. Neither the Company nor Cybersta tion had any affiliation with Platinum or any of its officers or directors.


The Company has been considering whether, and if so how, to reorganize its telecommunications and software development  businesses, while remaining open to entering into a business combination.  In December 2003, the Company sold all of its interest in Platinum Telecommunications, which was its only source of revenue, as well as all of its shares of CyberStation.  In connection with the sale of such shares, the purchaser assumed approximately $384,000 in liabilities and received a minimal amount of assets from the Company.  Included in the liabilities assumed by the purchaser was a loan of $120,000 made by such purchaser to the Company.  This will result in a gain on the divestitures. The impact of the divestiture has been reflected in the financial statements for the year ending August 31, 2003.  The sale of the Platinum shares and the Cy berstation shares was made to Joseph J. Alves, our Chief Executive Officer.   Mr. Alves agreed to sell all of his shares of common stock of the Company on December 9, 2003 to an unaffiliated third party.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The Company’s significant accounting policies are outlined within Item 8 as Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Some of those accounting policies require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts it reports. The following items require the most significant judgment and often involve complex estimation:


Revenue recognition: The Company generally recognizes a sale when the service has been provided and risk of loss has passed to the customer, collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the fee is fixed or determinable. The assessment of whether the fee is fixed or determinable considers whether a significant portion of the fee is due after its normal payment terms. If the Company determines that the fee is not fixed or determinable, the Company recognizes revenue at the time the fee becomes due, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.


The Company assesses collectibility based on a number of factors, including general economic and market conditions, past transaction history with the customer, and the credit-worthiness of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of the fee is not probable, then we will defer the fee and recognize revenue upon receipt of payment.


Allowance for doubtful accounts:  The Company continuously monitors payments from its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts, if required,  for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. When the Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowances for doubtful accounts, it takes into account various factors including its accounts receivable aging, customer credit-worthiness, historical bad debts, and geographic and political risk. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. As of August 31, 2003, the Company’s net accounts receivable balance was nil.


Results of Operations


Year ended August 31, 2003 compared to August 31, 2002


Continuing Operations


As a result of the Company’s divestiture of Platinum and CyberStation, the Company did not report any revenues from continued operations for the year ended August 31, 2003.


Discontinued Operations


As a result of the Company’s divestiture of Platinum and CyberStation, the Company reported a net income of $201,458 for the year ended August 31, 2003, which consists of an operating loss of $237,447, an income tax benefit of $54,122 and a gain on the settlement of debt in the amount of $384,783, as compared to a net loss of $299,247 for the year ended August 31, 2002.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Operating Activities


At August 31, 2003, the Company had a working capital deficit of $54,150 and an accumulated deficit of $489,544.  For the year ended August 31, 2003, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $38,402, a decrease from the net cash used in operating activities for the comparable period in 2002.  The decrease in cash requirements for operating activities is primarily the result of the reduction in funds held in escrow.


Financing Activities


At August 31, 2003, the Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures other than for those expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business.  In December 2003, the Company’s principal shareholder sold his entire stake in the Company consisting of 9,615,000 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated third-party.  Additional capital could be required in excess of the Company's liquidity, requiring it to raise additional capital through an equity offering or secured or unsecured debt financing. The availability of additional capital resources will depend on prevailing market conditions, interest rates, and the existing financial position and results of operations of the Company.



Item 7.  Financial Statements


See pages F-1 to F-19.



Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.


Not applicable.



Item 8A. Controls and Procedures.


Based on an evaluation as of the date of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-KSB, our Chief Executive Office/Acting Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.


Changes in Internal Controls


There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter and year ended August 31, 2003 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls


We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

BankEngine Technologies, Inc.

Toronto, Canada


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of BankEngine Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the years in the period ended August 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 audit.  


We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, such financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BankEngine Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries at August 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and their cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, in conformity with generally accepted 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. The Company has ceased its telecommunications operations and has been actively seeking a merger to diversify its operations.  As more fully explained in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company needs to obtain additional financing to pursue investment opportunities and/or achieve a level of sales adequate to support its cost structure.


These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans are also described in Note 1.  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.

BANKENGINE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ORGANIZATION


Bankengine Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "BankEngine") was a long distance telecommunications service provider through its 70% owned subsidiary, Platinum Telecommunications, Inc. The Company also was 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.


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



The accounts payable assumed on the acquisition of Callmate included $146,000 for short falls which could have arisen 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 held funds on deposit to be applied against refused credit card charges and 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 occurred 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 $55,000 and a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $54,000 at August 31, 2003.  Management plans to mitigate these adverse conditions through the following activities:



The Company has been attempting to restructure its telecommunication and software development activities. The Company has decided that the best course of action is to  cease its telecommunications and software development  operations and has been actively seeking a merger to diversify its operations. As discussed in note 12, the principal shareholder has sold his common shares to an arms’ length third party in November 2003 and has agreed to acquire the shares of the telecommunication and software development subsidiaries for $2. In addition, the principal shareholder has agreed to fund any liability balances in excess of $55,000. A gain has been recorded to reflect the settlement of the debts  in the amount of $384,783.


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.


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.


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.



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.



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.


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


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


The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets."  If the carrying value exceeds the present value of the estimated future cash flows, the asset would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified.  For the year ended August 31, 2003 and 2002 the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $66,000 and $24,000, respectively.


INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE


Basic income (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (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.  Options previously outstanding have been cancelled and therefore the possible shares to be issued are –0- and 600,000 for the years ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  During the year ended August 31, 2002 potential common shares outstanding were omitted from the calculation of loss per share as the effect would be antidilutive.


GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES


In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142").  SFAS 141 changes the accounting for business combinations, requiring that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method and that intangible assets be recognized as assets apart from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights, or if they are separate or capable of being separated from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged.  SFAS 141 was effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.  SFAS 142 specifies the financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets.  Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but rather they are tested at least annually for impairment unless certain impairment indicators are identified.  This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.


SFAS 142 requires that the useful lives of intangible assets acquired on or before June 30, 2001 be reassessed and the remaining amortization periods adjusted accordingly.  Previously recognized intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are tested for impairment.  Goodwill recognized on or before June 30, 2001, has been tested for impairment as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which SFAS 142 was initially applied and, after considering the results of an independent valuation and appraisal, management concluded that no impairment was indicated.


Upon adoption of this standard, the Company allocated its goodwill and other intangibles to its telecommunications unit.


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" and SFAS 148  Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and disclosures. To date no options have been granted.


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.  For the years ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded compensation expense of $-0- and $5,000, respectively.


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 operated 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. 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 Company has reflected the impairment of fixed assets in both the August 2002 and August 2003 financial statements.


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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 on September 1, 2002.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operati ons 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.   The Company adopted SFAS No. 146 on September 1, 2002.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.


In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.  Management believes that adopting this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.


In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, and interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57,and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.  FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, relating to the guarantor’s accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees.  This interpretation clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of certain types of guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.  The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after Decemb er 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end.  The disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.  The Company adopted FIN 45 on November 1, 2003.  The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.


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.


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 company has no outstanding stock based compensation.


In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning the Company’s interim period commencing July 1, 2003. SFAS 150 is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial instruments cr eated before the issuance date of SFA 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a significant effect on the company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

The loan bears interest at the rate of 2.5% above the prime rate,  which interest is payable monthly together with a fixed principal amount of $1,232 until the maturity of the loan in November 2005. The loan is secured by a personal guarantee in the amount of  $18,500 provided by the minority shareholder of Platinium Telecommunications. As the Company ceased making payments on the loan, the creditor has demanded payment on the personal guarantee. As this loan forms part of the liabilities of Platinium, the loan has been written off in anticipation of the settlement of this debt through the removal of the shares of Platinium from the Company as detailed in Note 12.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


The Company has been attempting to restructure its telecommunication and software development activities. The Company has decided that the best course of action is to  cease its telecommunications and software development  operations and has been actively seeking a merger to diversify its operations. A principal shareholder of the Company agreed in November 2003 to sell 9,615,000 common shares to an arms’ length party and also agreed to acquire the shares of Platinium Telecommunications and Cyberstation,   subsidiaries for the amount of $2. The agreement provides that liabilities are limited to $55,000 and any excess will be funded by the vending shareholder. The impact of the sale of the shares of Platinium and Cyberstation and the settlement of debts in excess of $55,000  will result in an estimated gain on divestitures of $384,783. .


The discontinued operations generated sales of $387,854 and $389,834 in the years ended August 31, 2003 and August 31, 2002 respectively and an operating income of $201,458 for 2003 and an operating loss of $299,247 for 2002. The income from discontinued operations  in 2003 consists of an operating loss of $237,447, an income tax benefit of $54,122 and the favorable settlement of debts in the amount of $384,783.


The liabilities of discontinued operations are reflected at their estimated settlement amount to the company of $nil.  Assets related to discontinued operations are recorded at their estimated net realizable value of $nil.

Minority interests are limited to the extent of their equity capital and losses in excess of minority interest are charged against the majority interests.  Subsequently, when the losses reverse, the majority interests should be credited with the amount of minority losses previously absorbed before credit is made to the majority interests.  The Company recorded losses of $1,514 to the minority in the year ended August 31, 2002 and the balance of minority interest at August  31, 2003 was $-0-.
