The response to Item 1 has been submitted as a separate section of this Report beginning on page F-1. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS On November 10, 2000, Registrant acquired approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Communicate.com Inc., an Alberta corporation (the "Subsidiary") from Bryan Liew. Following its acquisition of shares from Mr. Liew, on December 29, 2000, Registrant consummated the acquisition from certain minority shareholders of the Subsidiary an additional 31% of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the Subsidiary by exchanging one share of the Registrant's common stock for each 5.147058 shares of the Subsidiary's common stock from minority shareholders of the Subsidiary pursuant to a Share Exchange Offer made on November 30, 2000. Following the exchange, Registrant holds approximately 83% of the outstanding common stock of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is in the business of developing its portfolio of approximately 400 domain names, at least 30 of which generate high amount of internet traffic because of their generic descriptive nature of a specific product or services category. Registrant's twelve-month plan of operation is to: (i) establish partnerships and other relationships with established businesses that are leaders or near-leaders in their respective industry verticals that match with the Subsidiary's online businesses; (ii) build out online businesses that have established partnerships in place; (iii) develop more revenue generating programs; (iv) expand through the acquisition of strategic domain names, web sites and online businesses; and (v) invest into strategic portfolio companies using the 400 domain name assets held by the Subsidiary. Registrant will attempt to generate more revenue by (i) partnering with established businesses that have existing revenue streams that can be easily ported over to one of the Subsidiary's online business models, (ii) growing those revenue streams by leveraging the Subsidiary's domain name asset's inherent traffic flow, and (iii) leasing the traffic arising from as yet undeveloped domain name assets to existing on-line e-commerce businesses that fall under the product or service category described by the generic domain name. Registrant presently has 3 employees employed by the Subsidiary. Registrant will hire employees through the Subsidiary as the need arises and its finances allow. Positions will include web programmers, graphic artists, web masters, multimedia designers, web writers, marketing representatives, sales representatives and administrators. These positions may be required directly by the Subsidiary or through the Subsidiary's online businesses, and may be 3 located in Vancouver, or other offices as required by the Subsidiary's online businesses and partners. (A) SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following selected financial data was derived from Communicate's unaudited financial statements. The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

(B) RESULTS OF OPERATION Registrant has not generated any significant revenues or expenses until the acquisition of the Subsidiary on November 10, 2000. Prior to that date, Registrant was a developing stage company in search of business acquisition. The results of operation discussed hereon shall describe 4 business activities from November 10, 2000 onward. REVENUES. In a prior sales of a country category domain name in the last quarter of 2000 Registrant had expected to generate additional net revenue in the first and the second quarter of 2001. However, the purchaser of the country category domain name has not been able to complete its financing, and Registrant has extended the timing of payment until the third quarter of 2001. Management will closely monitor the conditions set on the purchaser and take action in due course. Management will continue to market its portfolio of domain names in fiscal 2001 and identify potential purchasers who have substantial liquid assets to complete any contemplated purchase transactions. Management believe that its portfolio of generic product or services category domain names will continue to generate interest from potential partners or purchasers despite a softened and depressed domain names aftersales market because of the intuitive and traffic-generating characteristics of Registrant's domain names. Registrant generated advertising and click-through revenues of $25,800 from the leasing of internet traffic from idle domain names redirected to potential partners and purchasers who would be interested in making an offer on a domain name in Registrant's portfolio or would want to receive internet traffic that were product or service category specific and would benefit any online business in or near the same product or service category. Management cannot reasonably forecast revenue generated by these agreements but expect revenue to remain consistent on a quarter over quarter basis. Registrant generated other revenues from the lease of a sport category domain name, net of cost, of approximately $25,000 in the first quarter of 2001 and expects to generate further net revenue in the coming quarters of fiscal 2001 based on revenues generated from that domain name. As of the date of this filing, Registrant has not received further money from the lessee of the sport category domain name. Other revenues of $12,500 were generated from realized foreign exchange gain and miscellaneous income. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Registrant's general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for general and corporate functions, including all facilities fees. These expenses have been reduced substantially from the preceding quarters as a result of management's cost savings program implemented in the last quarter of 2000 and the change in business focus in the Subsidiary's business. PROFESSIONAL FEES. A substantial amount of the professional fees were for legal and auditing fees which were related to costs of regulatory filings and financial statement preparation. Registrant is seeking ways to reduce these costs. (C) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 2001 Registrant had current liabilities in excess of current assets resulting in a working capital deficit of $1,918,183. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001 Registrant had a net loss of $126,631 and a decrease in working capital of $64,442. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the operating loss, the decrease in accounts payable and lease obligations and was offset by the collection of certain tax receivable from the federal government 5 of Canada. Registrant has accumulated a deficit of $363,370 since inception and has a stockholders' equity of $1,948,666 at March 31, 2001. Based on these factors, there is substantial doubt about Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern. Registrant will only be able to continue operations if it raises additional funds, either through operations or outside funding. Registrant cannot predict whether it will be able to do so. Registrant is in the early stages of operation and is just beginning to generate business revenues. Revenue generating programs will include: (i) the sale through e-commerce of products and services to consumers through the Subsidiary's online businesses; (ii) data mining of visitor and customer information to provide aggregate market research to corporate partners and business customers; (iii) infrastructure and shared service fees to corporate partners and business customers to provide them with exposure and e-commerce capabilities on the Subsidiary's online businesses; (iv) sponsorship and advertising programs for business customers who want to target specific consumers; and (v) dividends and cash flows from the Subsidiary's portfolio companies that are not part of its network of operating online businesses. Registrant and the Subsidiary cannot satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months without having to raise additional funds. The Subsidiary's expected cash requirement for the next 12 months is one million dollars. Registrant expects to raise any additional funds by way of equity and/or debt financing, and through the sale of non-strategic domain name assets. However, Registrant may not be able to raise the required funds from such financings, particularly in light of existing market conditions and the perception by investors of those companies which, like the Registrant, engage in e-commerce and related businesses. In that case Registrant will proceed by approaching current shareholders for loans or equity capital to cover operating costs. Although the foregoing actions are expected to cover Registrant's anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months, no assurance can be given that Registrant will be able to raise sufficient cash to meet these cash requirements. Registrant has no current plans to purchase any plant or significant equipment. (D) UNCERTAINTIES RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Management's discussion and analysis of Registrant's financial condition and the results of its operations and other sections of this report, contain forward looking statements, that are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Registrant's management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, Registrant's management. Because these statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual actions and strategies and the timing and expected results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. As well, Registrant's future results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in or underlying the forward-looking statements. 6 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. - --------------------------- During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, Registrant is not a party to any additional material pending legal proceedings and, to the best of its knowledge, no such action by or against Registrant has been threatened.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION During the period the Company issued 16,000 common shares in settlement of certain trade accounts payable of $20,000. The accompanying notes are an integral part of these interim consolidated financial statements F-4 COMMUNICATE.COM INC. (FORMERLY TROYDEN CORPORATION) NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company was incorporated October 10, 1995 under the laws of the State of Nevada and effective August 24, 2000 changed its name from Troyden Corporation to Communicate.com Inc. ("CMNN" or "the Company"). CMNN has previously been a development stage company seeking business acquisition opportunities. Effective November 10, 2000 the Company acquired a 52% controlling interest in Communicate.com Inc., an Alberta private company ("AlbertaCo") and during December 2000 acquired from minority shareholders an additional 31% of the outstanding shares of AlbertaCo. As a result, CMNN owns 83% of the outstanding shares of AlbertaCo. AlbertaCo owns a large portfolio of simple, intuitive domain names. AlbertaCo's current business strategy is to seek partners to develop its domain names to include content, commerce and community applications. AlbertaCo entered into agreements to sell interests in certain of its domain names and accordingly the Company is no longer considered to be in the development stage. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2001 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,919,183 and has incurred ongoing losses since inception raising substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continued operations are dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing, settling its outstanding debts and ultimately to attain profitable operations. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the 83% interest in its subsidiary AlbertaCo. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. FIXED ASSETS Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed at the following rates over the estimated useful lives of the assets: Computer equipment 30% declining balance Furniture and fixtures 20% declining balance Office equipment 20% declining balance Other intangibles 5 years straight-line One-half year depreciation is taken in the year of acquisition on certain capital assets. F-5 COMMUNICATE.COM INC. (FORMERLY TROYDEN CORPORATION) NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company generates revenues from the licensing, leasing and sale of the rights to its domain names. Collectibility of the proceeds in connection with these transactions is subject to a high level of uncertainty; accordingly revenues are recognized only as received in cash and are shown net of direct selling costs. The carrying amount of the domain names held for resale is charged against revenue on a proportionate basis concurrent with the recognition of the revenue. Web advertising revenue consists primarily of commissions earned from the referral of visitors to the Company's sites to other parties. Collectibility of these referral commissions is subject to a high level of uncertainty; accordingly revenues are recognized only as received in cash. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", ("APB No. 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the estimated fair value of the Company's stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and pro-rata for future services over the option-vesting period. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force in Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services" ("EITF 96-18"). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18. INCOME TAXES The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future 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 balances. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the future benefit, or if the future deductibility is uncertain. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the periods that the financial statements are prepared. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates that prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. F-6 COMMUNICATE.COM INC. (FORMERLY TROYDEN CORPORATION) NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments are initially recorded at historical cost. If subsequent circumstances indicate that a decline in fair value of a financial asset is other than temporary, the financial asset is written down to its fair value. Refer to Note 11. LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Fully diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potential common stock, including convertible preferred shares, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period and is not presented where the effect is anti-dilutive. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions, events and circumstances, other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income to date consists only of the net loss resulting from translation of the foreign currency financial statements of AlbertaCo. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews the carrying amount of capital assets and intangible assets held for resale for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The determination of any impairment would include a comparison of estimated future operating cash flows anticipated during the remaining life with the net carrying value of the asset. NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By agreement dated November 10, 2000 the Company acquired 11,714,080 Class A common shares of AlbertaCo, representing 52% of the outstanding shares of AlbertaCo, in consideration for 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, a cash payment of $400,000 and an additional $1,100,000 payable in four equal amounts of $275,000 due 30, 60, 90 and 120 days following the acquisition or as otherwise agreed to by the parties. The Company may, at its option, satisfy the additional $1,100,000 payable by the issuance of 2,200,000 post-split shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with this acquisition, the Company borrowed $400,000 from Pacific Capital Markets Inc.

(FORMERLY TROYDEN CORPORATION) NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (UNAUDITED) NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONT'D) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions. Receivables arising from sales to customers are generally not significant individually and are not collateralized; as a result, management continually monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce the risk of loss. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable, note payable and capital lease obligation. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values. The fair value of the Company's capital leases are estimated based on market value of financial instruments with similar terms. Management believes that the fair value of the debt approximates its carrying value. COMMITMENTS AlbertaCo occupies its current premises on an eleven-month sub-lease at $2,500 per month.
