Review Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

Board of Directors

Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc., as of June 30, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods then ended and consolidated statement of cash flow for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 in accordance with Statements of Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc.

A review of interim financial statements consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel responsible for financial matters and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2001

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Financial Statements

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. (Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2000 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by Westsphere Asset Corporation , Inc. later in the year. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The Company was incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1998 as Newslink Networks TDS, Inc. and changed its name to Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. on April 29, 1999. On December 12, 1998, Westsphere acquired 41% of Vencash Capital Corporation (Vencash) and then on December 17, 1999, Westsphere acquired the remaining 59% of the outstanding stock of Vencash by exchanging common stock. The Company accounted for its acquisition of Vencash as a reverse acquisition since certain shareholders were shareholders of both companies. Vencash is in the business of selling and installing cash vending machines throughout Canada. On May 18, 1999, Westsphere formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. (Financial), which was organized to lease cash vending machines. On May 16, 2000, VC/POS/ATM Services Inc. (Services) and 880487 Alberta Ltd. (Alberta) was incorporated as wholly owned subsidiaries of Westsphere. Services and Alberta had no business activity during this period. On S eptember 23, 1998, Vencash Capital Corporation incorporated Vencash Financial Corporation as a subsidiary, and had no business activity as of September 30, 2000.

On June 1, 1999, Westsphere acquired its interest in Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. (Kan-Can), by exchanging 290,000 shares of its common stock for a 10% interest in Kan-Can. The Company accounts for its investment in Kan-Can on the cost basis.

On August 1, 2000, Westsphere acquired a 5% interest in E-Debit International, Inc. (E-Debit) for $1,350 cash. E-Debit is a provider of prepaid debit cards. The Company accounts for its investment in E-Debit on the cost basis.

Restatement of Financial Statements

As described in Note 1, the acquisition of Vencash for accounting purposes has been treated as a reverse acquisition. The effect of the restatement is to remove goodwill as an asset that had been recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The change was made effective as of December 31, 2000. The net income in the statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 was decreased by $3,281 and $6,561, respectively, resulting from the elimination of the amortization of goodwill.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Note 3 - Common Stock

During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company issued an additional 379,041 shares of its common stock under an Offering Memorandum for $189,521. In addition, the Company sold 13,192 shares of its stock to an existing shareholder for $4,000.

Note 4 - Commitments

The Company has agreed to purchase property in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for the purchase price of $2,380,000 of Canadian funds. (An estimated $1,570,000 US Dollars.) The Company intends to assume an existing mortgage and become indebted on the balance. The balance is to be secured by 538,000 shares of its Common Stock.

The Company has agreed to purchase real estate in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada by issuing 1,462,938 shares of its common stock plus certain warrants to buy additional stock. The purchase is subject to "due diligence" and the completion of satisfactory title considerations.

 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION.

 At present, Westsphere Asset Corporation ("Westsphere" or the "Company") earns its income through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Vencash Capital Corporation and Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. Management is of the opinion that Vencash Capital Corporation will generate sufficient revenue from its operations to meet the operating expenses of Vencash Capital. However, such revenues will not be sufficient to fund the operating needs of Westsphere itself or the operating needs of the subsidiary, Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. Capital from equity issues or borrowings may be required to fund the operations of Westsphere and Westsphere Financial Group and also to fund the future expansion of Westsphere's business or the business of its subsidiaries. All dollar references in this section and in our financial statements are in U.S. dollars.

Plan of Operations

As of June 30, 2001, Westsphere had limited cash resources. Westsphere needs to raise additional funds to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months. Westsphere intends to raise such funds from the sale of equity securities, borrowings, government grants and partnering with industry in the development of its technologies. Westsphere has been raising funds on an as needed basis from related parties and existing shareholders. These funds are presently booked as convertible debentures with no interest for the first year and an option to converted into equity. Westsphere recently closed a private offering of units under which the Company sold $189,521 of units. The units were sold at $0.50 per unit and each unit is comprised of one share of common stock and two purchases warrants. The use of proceeds were distributed as follows: $114,750 was used to fund the asset growth of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Westsphere Financial Group Ltd.; $10,825 was used to fund developme nt and expansion of the Company's ownership of its related company, E-Debit International Inc.; $16,510 was used to fund the acquisition of asset based companies that produce cash flows; and $33,336 was used for working capital. The remaining $14,100 was used to pay the offering costs.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, Westsphere advanced funds of $4,222 to its related company, E-Debit International. Such funds were provided to fund shortfall-operating expenses with no interest and no demand of repayment. During such quarter, Westsphere received repayment of $3,301 from its another of its related companies, Trac POS Processing Inc. from funds the Company provided during the first quarter of 2001. In addition, Westsphere advanced $51,958 to its wholly owned subsidiary, Westsphere Financial Group Ltd., to fund the expansion of its finance/lease business and sales and marketing. The Company also received repayment of $10,410 from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vencash ATM/POS Services Inc., from funds provided by the Company during the first quarter of 2001.

Liquidity

Cash flows from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 reflect net cash used of $152,899 and net cash provided of $61,334 respectively while cash flows used by investing activities for the same periods were $73,740 and $162,971, respectively. Cash flows from financing activities for the same periods were net cash provided of $173,514 and $115,594, respectively.

At June 30, 2001, Westsphere had a working capital surplus of $196,198 compared to a working capital surplus of $85,426 as at December 31, 2000. Westsphere's working capital increased during the first six months of fiscal year 2001 due to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory. Westsphere expects that its need for liquidity will increase during the remainder of fiscal year 2001 to cover its operating expenses and the operating expenses of Westsphere Financial Group and also in anticipation of expending funds to develop its growth plan. Westsphere hopes to receive such funding from related parties and existing shareholders. If the foregoing is obtained, Westsphere believes it will have sufficient resources to meet its operating expenses for the next twelve months and funded its planned growth.

Assets

As at June 30, 2001, Westsphere had total assets of $878,921compared to total assets of $759,910 as at December 31, 2000 (restated as of December 31, 2000). This represents an increase of $119,011, which is mostly attributable to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory, which have been partially offset by the elimination of goodwill from the Company's balance sheet.

Total assets as at June 30, 2001, consist of $111,669 in cash, accounts receivables of $190,387, current portion of direct financing and sales-type leases of $5,065, inventory of $117,659, prepaid expenses of $13,891, corporate tax refund of $2,153 property and equipment of $247,779, net of accumulated depreciation of $80,052, deferred site development costs of $26,500, investment in Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. of $99,703, non-current loans and in-house financial receivables of $39,581, future tax benefits of $13,239, and other investments of $11,295.

Results of Operations

As of the date of this filing, Westsphere has limited sources of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, Westsphere relied upon gross profits of $363,055, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $193,521 and $53,125 of its cash to pay its operating expenses.

Westsphere's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $16,351, compared to a net income for the same period from the previous year of $7,633. This increase was attributable mainly to the fact that Westsphere realized greater gross profits on its sales by lowering its costs of goods sold. Westsphere's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $63,580, compared to a net income for the same period from the previous year of $19,406. This decrease was attributable mainly to increased expenses, including consulting, depreciation and amortization, travel and other administrative costs. Some of such expenses were offset by decreased costs of goods sold.

Westsphere's operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $16,731, as compared to operating income for the same period from the previous year of $211, was due to the same reasons. Westsphere's operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $62,238, as compared to operating income for the same period from the previous year of $31,488.

Westsphere's operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal year 2001 were comprised of consulting fees of $57,433, salaries and benefits of $126,051, depreciation and amortization of $33,339, travel of $83,651 and other administrative expenses of $124,819. Westsphere's operating expenses for the same period from the previous year were comprised of consulting fees of $28,225, salaries and benefits of $130,549, depreciation and amortization of $12,308, travel of $50,856 and other administrative expenses of $84,692.

Westsphere's present business does not generate sufficient revenues to cover its operating expenses. Westsphere may not be able to continue unless it can raise additional funds or increase its revenues without increasing its expenses.

On May 1, 2001, the Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase with Lucky Shine Enterprise Limited for the purchase by the Company of certain property and buildings located at 18521 - 97 Avenue, Surrey, British Columbia V4N 3N9. The Company will purchase the property and buildings by issuing 1,462,938 shares of its common stock plus two warrants. The first warrant is exercisable within eighteen months from the date that the Company's shares are listed on any public stock exchange and entitles Lucky Shine to purchase an additional 1,462,938 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.75 per share. The second warrant is exercisable within thirty six months of a listing and entitles Lucky Shine to purchase an additional 1,462,938 shares at $1.00 per share. The property to be purchased has an appraised value of $1,125,000CDN. Pursuant to the agreement, 162,938 shares were issued to Lucky Shine upon execution of the Agreement and are being held as a deposit until completion of the due diligen ce investigation. Upon completion of due diligence, the remaining 1,300,000 shares will be transferred to Lucky Shine. This property is a warehouse which is fully occupied and generates monthly cash flow. The Company expects to add cash flow to its operations as a result of this acquisition. The Company expects to close this transaction during the third quarter of 2001.

On June 1, 2001, the Company executed a term sheet with Delphi Developments Ltd. for the purchase of the property and buildings located at 206 - 11 Avenue, Unit 2 and 214 - 11 Avenue Unit 43, Calgary, Alberta. The purchase price shall be $2,380,000CDN, which will be paid for as follows:

A deposit of $25,000CDN on June 30, 2001, assumption of existing mortgage on the property in the amount of $1,275,000CDN, $150,000CDN on the date of assumption of the mortgage, $75,000CDN within forty five days from the transfer of title to the Company and $2,500CDN per month from the date of closing until the mortgage has been paid in full. The property will be secured by the mortgage and also by the issuance of 538,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These units of property are commercial condominiums and are currently occupied and generate cash flow. The Company's headquarters are currently located in the second unit referenced above. The Company expects to add cash flow to its operations from this acquisition.

On a short term basis, Westsphere's subsidiary Vencash Capital Corporation is expected to generate sufficient revenues to meet overhead needs. In order to meet its growth plan, Westsphere will continue to be dependent on equity funds raised, joint venture arrangements and/or loan proceeds. Westsphere believes that it could continue as a going concern with the present revenues from its subsidiary Vencash Capital Corporation but it would be unable to meet its market growth projections without further funding outside of the ongoing revenue from operations of Vencash.

As at June 30, 2001, Westsphere's current assets of $440,824 is more than its current liabilities of $244,626.

 

Long Term

As mentioned above, Westsphere believes that it's subsidiary, Vencash Capital, generates sufficient ongoing revenue to ensure that Westsphere is a going concern. It is anticipated that operations will have substantial increases in net cash flow at the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Westsphere will remain reliant on the successful development and marketing of the products related to its business for possibility of future income.

Capital Resources

The primary capital resources of Westsphere is the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary, Vencash Capital. The secondary capital resource will be its stock which may be illiquid because of resale restrictions and/or as a result of its inability to sustain the growth of its market and the risk of takeover by competitors. Westsphere may thus have to locate debt financing, joint ventures or merger/acquisition candidates to meet its operations expenses and will be required to raise funds by either loans, joint ventures or equity financing in order to meet these commitments.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In June 1999, Westsphere purchased a non-dilutable 10% interest in Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. owns a Province of Alberta, Canada head lease for leases at Pigeon Mountain in the Province of Alberta, Canada and sublet the right of use for these leases to Alpine Resort Haven Limited Partnership, a time share resort company.

During November, 1999 the shareholders of Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. initiated legal action against Alpine Resorts Haven Ltd. for non-payment of lease fees. Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. was successful in its legal action and received a judgment in the amount of $500,000 ($740,000 CDN) and Alpine Resorts Haven Ltd. was given a notice to vacate by the courts.

During April 2000, Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. detailed a restructuring plan for Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. and presented it to the time share owners. During April, 2000 three individual time share owners brought an application before the courts to stay the court decisions of November, 1999 and to petition Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. into bankruptcy. The courts ruled favorably on this application and the stay was granted and Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. was petitioned into bankruptcy.

Kan-Can is not a party to the bankruptcy proceeding and has been granted a secured creditor position, which has been stayed by the bankruptcy proceeding. Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. has mounted a defense against the stay of proceedings.
