1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements and accordingly, these financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002. Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 contained Note 2 on our need for additional financing and profitable operations to be able to continue as a going concern. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabiliti es 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. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the Company's condensed financial position at March 31, 2003 and the condensed, consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures we must make about our obligations under certain guarantees that we have issued. It also requires us to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligations we have undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are to be applied only to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
On April 30, 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
6. INTEREST AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
On March 28, 2003 the Company transferred $350,000 in error to the account of a non-affiliated corporation related to the Company through the Company's director and CEO Mr. Matthew Heysel. The funds transfer was intended for Big Sky Networks Canada, a subsidiary of the Company. On April 3, 2003 the full amount was returned to the Company. Accordingly, accounts receivable as at March 31, 2003 includes $350,000 due from this related corporation.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 25, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the cancellation of 600,000 options previously issued to two past directors and a past consultant of the Company, all of whom are now members of the Company's advisory board. Concurrently, the board of directors approved the issuance of 800,000 options to the same individuals. These options were priced at fair market value on the date of the grant with an exercise price of $0.05 per share. One-third of the options vested immediately upon issuance with one-third vesting one year from the date of grant and the last one-third vesting two years from the date of grant. All unexercised options expire on April 25, 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
On a consolidated basis, we earned revenues of $45,204 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 (2002 - $22,960). The following discussion provides a breakdown of revenue within our corporate structure.
China Broadband Corp.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, we did not earn revenues. We provided technical consulting services to Big Sky Network in the first half of 2001 pursuant to a Technical Services Agreement with Big Sky Network from May 1, 2000 to April 30, 2001. Our acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Big Sky Canada required that the revenue from this arrangement be eliminated on consolidation.
We earn revenues through our subsidiary Chengdu Big Sky Technology Services Ltd.
Chengdu Big Sky Technology Services Ltd.
Chengdu Big Sky Network Technology Services Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, commenced operations in October 2001 and had 152 corporate subscribers connected at March 31, 2003 (47 at March 31, 2002). Big Sky Technology Services recorded gross sales of $45,204 in the first quarter of 2003, $22,960 in the first quarter of 2002, and $207,725 since inception. If the operation becomes cash flow positive, we anticipate it will re-invest its after tax income, if any, in related business opportunities in China. We do not anticipate Big Sky Technology Services will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have invested approximately $568,715 in equipment and working capital in Big Sky Technology Services to date. We intend to add equipment and working capital based on an analysis of the potential return on investment from such equipment or working capital. Additional investments will be made based upon the potential for a short-term payback of such investment. Future growth is anticipated to be funded primarily by revenues from services.
Expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, we incurred operating expenses of $391,270 and $411,693 respectively. The following table provides a breakdown of operating expenses by category.
General Operating Expenses
| THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 | THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED | PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 1, 2000 TO |
Calgary Office Costs | $101,740 | $100,931 | $2,649,425 |
Beijing Office Costs | $105,000 | $90,615 | $1,875,649 |
Big Sky Technology Services | $53,065 | $31,448 | $245,911 |
Professional Services | $3,265 | $58,704 | $1,845,059 |
Investor Relations | $- | $9,256 | $1,157,983 |

Non Cash Compensation | $86,403 | $70,257 | $1,012,186 |
Miscellaneous | $- | $1,360 | $212,114 |
TOTAL | $391,270 | $411,693 | $12,272,331 |
Calgary office expense includes the costs of executive management and administrative consultants, travel, rent, insurance, and general office costs associated with maintaining a business office in North America. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 Calgary office costs have remained steady compared to the same period in 2002.
13
Beijing office costs include the costs of maintaining business operations and our principal business office in China In the first quarter of 2003 Beijing office costs have increased 16% over the same period in 2002 despite significant reductions in salaries, contract fees, and travel expenses.
Professional services include accounting, audit and legal advisory costs. Professional costs have decreased 95% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This decrease is in primarily legal and auditing fees which are attributable to the secondary registration statement on Form S-1 which we filed on May 3, 2002.
We have made deliberate efforts to reduce our office and professional service costs in the first quarter of 2003 and we expect to continue our cost cutting efforts through the year ended December 31, 2003.
Amortization and depreciation expense recorded during the first quarter of 2003, resulted from the depreciation of office equipment and leasehold improvements.
Non-cash stock compensation expense was $86,403 in the first quarter of 2003; while we had compensation expense of $70,257 in the first quarter of 2002.

Losses
The Chengdu joint venture is accounted for on an equity basis. The loss in Chengdu joint venture, $40,213 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 (2002 - $52,923) has not been recognized into income as a result of the write down of the entire investment in Chengdu joint venture in 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2003 we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,002,826 and a working capital surplus of $1,482,804 compared to a working capital surplus of $1,736,597 at December 31, 2002. Funds used in operations for the first three months of 2003 decreased to $252,660 a decrease of 7% from $271,729 for the first three months of 2002.
Since inception, we have financed operations primarily through sales of equity securities and have raised a total of $12,464,053, net of share issuance costs of $177,740. On a consolidated basis, our current operating cash expenditures are expected to be approximately $80,000 per month.
We anticipate that we will be required to raise an additional $1.0 million to fund our current plan of growth and existing operations through December 31, 2003. Our principal source of capital has been equity financing from investors and our founders. We have explored opportunities for vendor financing, bank credit facilities and export credit agency arrangements without success. Meeting our future financing requirements is dependent on access to equity capital markets. We may not be able to raise additional equity when required or on favorable terms that are not dilutive to existing shareholders.
We did not raise any financing during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 25, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the cancellation of 600,000 options previously issued to two past directors and a past consultant of the Company, all of whom are now members of the Company's advisory board. Concurrently, the board of directors approved the issuance of 800,000 options to the same individuals. These options were priced at fair market value on the date of the grant with an exercise price of $0.05 per share. One-third of the options vested immediately upon issuance with one-third vesting one year from the date of grant and the last one-third vesting two years from the date of grant. All unexercised options expire on April 25, 2008.
Accounts receivable as at March 31, 2003 included $350,000 due from a related party. On March 28, 2003 we transferred $350,000 in error to the account of a non-affiliated corporation related to us through our director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Matthew Heysel. The funds transferred were intended for Big Sky Networks Canada, our subsidiary. On April 3, 2003 the full amount was returned to us. Accordingly, accounts receivable as at March 31, 2003 includes $350,000 due from this related corporation.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures we must make about our obligations under certain guarantees that we have issued. It also requires us to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligations we have undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are to be applied only to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
On April 30, 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
