ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Gem International (USA), Inc. (a development stage company) as of March 31, 2001, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the period from December 21, 1998 (inception) to March 31, 2001. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Gem International (USA), Inc.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our report dated April 12, 2001. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception on December 21, 1998. The Company has limited sales and negative working capital. Realization of a major portion of the assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its future financing requirements, and the success of future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding the resolution of this issue are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2001
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Inventories
The Company had $6,677 in inventory as of March 31, 2001. Inventory is purchased periodically for special orders and display purposes only and is stated at the lower of cost (using specific identification) or market.
The Company holds approximately $140,000 worth of inventory, valued at cost, on consignment from a related party, Queensland Opal N.L. (an Australian corporation). See Note 7. This inventory remains the property of Queensland Opal N.L., which is responsible for maintaining insurance on the inventory, until the inventory is sold, returned, lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes the net sale, gross proceeds less cost, at the point when title transfers from consignor to purchaser.
Revenues from special orders, not on consignment, are recognized when title transfers to purchaser.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of its statement of cash flows, the Company considers money market accounts and all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Compensated Absences
The Company has no employees. At such time as the Company hires personnel, its employees will be entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days and personal days off depending on job classification, length of service, and other factors. The Company's policy will be to recognize the cost of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Provision for Doubtful Accounts
Provision for losses on trade accounts receivable is made in amounts required to maintain an adequate allowance to cover anticipated bad debts. Accounts receivable are charged against the allowance when it is determined by the Company that payment will not be received. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company expensed $15,300 as bad debts. Receivables are shown net of allowance for bad debts of $0 as of March 31, 2001.
Provision for Taxes
At March 31, 2001, the Company had an accumulated net operating loss of approximately $108,000. No provision for taxes or tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, as there is not a measurable means of assessing future profits or losses.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Web Site Development
An outside consultant is planning and developing the Company's web site to sell the Company's products in the future. The planning and development costs incurred in this project, in the amount of $10,884 for the period from inception (December 21, 1998)through December 31, 1999, were expensed as incurred in accordance with SOP 98-1.
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted SOP 98-1 as amplified by EITF 99-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." In accordance with this early adoption, the Company will henceforth capitalize web site development costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company had not incurred any web site development costs.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company's accumulated deficit or net losses presented.

Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets." In complying with this standard, the Company reviews its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. Asset values will be adjusted using the discounted future cash flows expected to be received for the assets.The Company does not believe any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at March 31, 2001.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their fair value
Translation of Foreign Currency
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 52. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.

Gains or losses are included in income for the year. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company had no transaction gain or loss.
Derivative Instruments

This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
At March 31, 2001, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

Gem will hire employees on an as needed basis, however, Gem does not expect any significant changes in the number of employees.
Results of Operations

Gem will be primarily engaged in operating as a wholesale distributor of jewels and gemstones. The Company is planning to utilize the Internet for electronic commerce and is currently developing an Internet web-site for that purpose.
As of the date hereof, the web-site has been designed and the front page completed.
