See accompanying notes to financial statements. F-5 CHAMPION BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 (1) NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS - Champion Business Systems, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Colorado in June 1981. The Company develops and services accounting and financial management software for small business customers throughout the United States. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company includes as cash equivalents certificates of deposit and all other investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. The Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $5,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The Company considers all accounts receivable in excess of the allowance to be fully collectible. If accounts receivable in excess of the provided allowance are determined uncollectible, they are charged to operations in the year that determination is made. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business. INVENTORIES - Inventories consist principally of manuals for the various software modules, stocked software and shipping supplies. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. DEPRECIATION - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease life or the estimated useful life. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed when incurred. REVENUE RECOGNITION - Product revenues are recognized upon shipment of the software product only if no significant Company obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Revenue from services is recognized when the service is provided. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Deferred revenue represents payment received for maintenance contracts. Provisions are recorded for returns. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" requires software development costs to be expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established. Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The establishment of technological feasibility and the F-6 CHAMPION BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. The Company capitalized $608,800 and $406,108 of software development costs during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. In addition, the Company expensed certain software and development costs as research and development since such costs were incurred during the preliminary project stage. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company recorded charges of $304,184 and $0, related to impairment of long-lived assets specifically, software development costs. The specific software's estimated future revenues were estimated to be less than the carrying amount of the software development costs due to changes in software technologies. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $11,037 and $1,966. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company uses the intrinsic value-based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for employee stock options. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is recorded only to the extent that the market price of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option on the date of grant. INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized at the enacted rates for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing tax assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. MANAGEMENT'S USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of F-7 CHAMPION BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains or losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the statement of operations and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results or operations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations." SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. In addition, SFAS 141 further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. The requirements of Statement 141 are effective for any business combination accounted for by the purchase method that is completed after June 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results or operations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

(3) LINE OF CREDIT - BANK The Company has a $100,000 revolving line of credit with KeyBank National Association, which expires April 2001. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at prime plus 1% (10.5% at December 31, 2000) and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the personal guarantee of stockholders of the Company. The revolving line of credit contains certain covenants the Company must maintain. Outstanding borrowings were $20,000 and $55,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The revolving line of credit agreement was renewed subsequent to December 31, 2000 and has a current maturity date of May 2002. (4) LONG-TERM DEBT The Company has a note payable with Great Plains Software, Inc. (Great Plains) from the purchase of a software product in 1997. The note bears interest at 9%, is secured by the software acquired, subordinated to the revolving line of credit and is due June 2001. The Company is restricted from selling or transferring the software product until the loan is repaid in full. The outstanding balances of the note payable were $77,527 and $152,938 at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The Company has a separate agreement with Great Plains whereby they earn revenues for migrating customers to Great Plain's software products. The Company and Great Plains have verbally agreed to suspend payments on the note payable with revenues earned under the migration contract. (5) STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK - During the year ended December 31, 2000, the holders of the Company's outstanding convertible preferred stock converted their 572,700 shares into 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. SALES OF COMMON STOCK - During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company sold a total of 2,200,000 shares of common stock during the year. The Company realized proceeds of $700,000 from these sales. F-9 CHAMPION BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN - During 2000, the Company established the Champion Business Systems, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the Plan), pursuant to which awards to acquire an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be granted. Stock options and stock awards may be granted under the Plan. The options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and vest over various periods. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock options. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options issued. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company's pro forma net loss for the year ended December 31, 2000 would have been $624,967. The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6%, expected life of 5 years, and expected dividend yield of 0%. The Company's stock option activity for year ended December 31, 2000 is summarized as follows:
Weighted Range of Average Option Options Exercise Price Exercise Price ------- -------------- -------------- Granted 380,000 $.03 $.03 Canceled or expired 0 - - Exercised 0 - - ------- ---- ---- Options outstanding - December 31, 2000 380,000 $.03 $.03 ======= ==== ==== Options exercisable - December 31, 2000 95,000 $.03 $.03 ======= ==== ==== Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2000 $.01 ----

See accompanying notes to condensed financial statements. F-16 CHAMPION BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 (1) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been consolidated or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or of the results for any future periods. In preparation of the Company's financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from the estimates used by management. (2) REVENUE RECOGNITION Product revenues are recognized upon shipment of the software product only if no significant Company obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Revenue from services is recognized when the service is provided. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Deferred revenue represents payment received for maintenance contracts. Provisions are recorded for returns. (3) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" requires software development costs to be expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established. Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by management with F-17 CHAMPION BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2001 respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. The Company capitalized software development costs of $35,802 and $386,007 during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

See accompanying notes to combined pro forma financial statements. F-22 ACTIVE IQ TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION JUNE 30, 2001 (1) DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION On August 30, 2001, Active IQ Technologies, Inc. (Active IQ or the Company) entered into a stock purchase agreement with Champion Business Systems, Inc. and the stockholders of Champion Business Systems, Inc., whereby Active IQ would purchase 100% of the common stock of Champion Business Systems, Inc. (the Transaction). The Transaction closed on September 18, 2001. The aggregate consideration Active IQ paid for the common shares of Champion Business Systems Inc. was 299,185 shares of common stock of Active IQ, cash of $12,328 issued to certain Champion Business Systems, Inc. stockholders, cash of $500,000 paid on September 18, 2001 and a $1,000,000 Promissory Note Payable. The Promissory Note Payable is payable as follows: (a) $250,000 on January 18, 2002 (b) $250,000 on May 18, 2002 (c) $250,000 on September 18, 2002 and (d) $250,000 on January 18, 2003, as evidenced by Promissory notes, secured by Company's shares in Champion Business Systems, Inc. (CBS). The following unaudited combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2001 gives effect to the Transaction as if it occurred on June 30, 2001. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations give effect to the Transaction as if it occurred on January 1, 2000. (2) DESCRIPTION OF PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (A) The carrying value assigned to goodwill and other intangibles is based on the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities of Champion Business Systems, Inc. The primary reason for the acquisition of Champion was to expand the Company's software and service support customer base and business. The factors contributing to goodwill principally based on the Company's belief that synergies would be generated through the combining of the Company's other software and service support with Champion's accounting packages. The total purchase including common stock issued of 299,185 was approximately $3,092,000 plus an allocation from software development costs to acquired software developed of approximately $499,000. Common stock was valued at $4.89 per share, the average of the closing bid and ask price for the Company's common stock 10 trading days before September 18, 2001 (the effective date of the acquisition of Champion). In addition, the Company did not issue any options or warrants in conjunction with the Champion acquisition. (B) The allocation of the purchase price is as follows: Cash $ 512,328 Promissory Note Payable (1) 944,312 Common stock (2) 1,463,015 Add: estimated transaction costs 50,000 ----------- Total consideration $2,969,655 Less: Net tangible assets acquired (621,831) ----------- Goodwill and other intangibles $3,591,486 -----------
F-23 ACTIVE IQ TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION JUNE 30, 2001 The allocation to goodwill and other intangibles is as follows: Customer relationships $1,318,700 Acquired software developed 499,344 Noncompete agreements 200,000 Goodwill 1,573,442 ---------- Total $3,591,486 ----------
(1) The non-interest bearing Promissory Note Payable has been discounted by $55,688 for imputed interested at 7%. (2) Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement the 299,185 shares of common stock of Active IQ issued in connection with the Transaction is determined by the average of the closing bid and ask prices during the ten trading days preceding the Effective Date, as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System (the Effective Date was September 18, 2001) ($4.89 per share). Therefore, the allocation of the common stock issued of $1,463,015 is $2,992 to common stock for the par value of shares issued and the balance of $1,460,023 to additional paid-in capital. (C) Reflects the elimination of Champion Business Systems, Inc. common stock, additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit in the amount of ($663), ($1,508,892) and $1,632,042, respectively. The net deficit of $122,487 was included in the amount allocated to goodwill. (D) The other accrued expenses adjustment represents the accrued estimated transaction costs to be incurred as a result of the Transaction. The costs are primarily the Company's legal, accounting, printing and similar expenses. (E) Reflects acquired software developed, customer relationships and noncompete arising from the Transaction amortized on a straight-line basis over two years. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, goodwill recorded in a business combination after June 20, 2001 is not amortized but is reviewed based upon an impairment analysis. Amortization of acquired software developed, customer relationships and noncompete agreement for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the six months ended June 30, 2001 is $1,009,022 and $504,511, respectively. (F) Reflects additional common shares issued to Champion Business Systems, Inc. stockholders.
