NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Nature of operations, stock split, spin-off, and business agreements
Nature of operations - PeopleNet International Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on February 5, 1997in the state of Delaware. The Company focuses on development and sales of communication software solutions and management of media-related programs. The software solutions include a controlled and safe Internet browser for children and a multiple-module web-based email and office automation bundle. The Company had been a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Systems Control Technology, Inc. ("PSCT") until February 8, 2002 when the Company completed its spin-off transaction from PSCT and became an independent entity.
Note 2 - Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Note 3 - Recent pronouncements
On May 15 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 150 ("SFAS 150"),Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be classified as equity or "mezzanine" equity, by now requiring those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) in the statement of financial position. Further, SFAS 150 requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives. SFAS 150 affects an entity's classification of the following freestanding instruments: a) Mandatorily redeemable instruments b) Financial instruments to repurchase an entity's own equity instruments c) Financial instruments embodying obligations that the issuer must or could choose to settle by issuing a variable number of its shares or other equity instruments based solely on (i) a fixed monetary amount known at ince ption or (ii) something other than changes in its own equity instruments d) SFAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The guidance in SFAS 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For private companies, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of SFAS 150 for the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 does not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R). FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities and significantly changes the consolidation application of consolidation policies to variable interest entities and, thus improves comparability between enterprises engaged in similar activities when those activities are conducted through variable interest entities. The Company does not hold any variable interest entities.
Note 4 - Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the period ended March 31, 2004 presentation.
Note 5 - Loss per share
Earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were determined by dividing net income for the periods by the weighted average number of both basic and diluted shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share is the same since the effect of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive.
Note 6 - Advances from related parties
The advances from related parties are due on demand, non-interest bearing and unsecured.
Note 7 - Notes payable - related parties
At March 31, 2004, the Company has an unsecured note payable of $24,000 from the president of the Company. The note is due on demand and bears interest at 9% per annum.
During the period ended March 31, 2004, the Company received loans from a shareholder totaling $60,000. The loans are unsecured, due on demand and carry an interest rate of 6% per annum.
Interest expense on notes payable - related parties, for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, amounted to $1,160 and $1,408, respectively.
Note 8 - Commitments and contingencies
On December 27, 2000, the Company entered into a worldwide distribution agreement with respect toThe Adventures with Kanga Roddytelevision program with World Channel, Inc. Under the agreement, World Channel will have the exclusive rights for exhibition, distribution, process and reproduction and all commercial exploitation of the program for a period of five years. The agreement requires World Channel to make five annual installments of $600,000 on or before the end of each of the years 2001 through 2005. The Company did not earn any revenue from the films in 2002 and the period ended September 30, 2003. A 100% reserve on the remaining receivable was also established. The Company has reserved the remaining unamortized film costs for "The Adventures With Kanga Roddy" television program.
In June 2001 the Company signed an agreement with ECapital Group, Inc. ("ECapital") to purchase the exclusive licensing and marketing rights to ChiBrow, a safe web browser software for children. Under the terms of the agreement and upon the effectiveness of the spin-off of the Company from PSCT, the Company issued 374,587 shares of common stock, with registration rights, to ECapital in exchange for the worldwide exclusive rights to market and distribute ChiBrow for three years (see Note 1). The Company intends to file a registration statement for such shares immediately after the effectiveness of the spin-off transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company shall retain 35% of all revenues generated from such marketing efforts and the balance shall be paid to ECapital. The registration for the 374,587 shares of PeopleNet common stock issued to ECapital has not yet been filed as of March 31, 2004.
Through December 31, 2001, the Company was still a subsidiary of Pacific Systems Control Technology, the following cases were either filed against Pacific Systems naming all of its subsidiaries including PeopleNet as the defendants, or Pacific Systems' initiated complaint resulted in a cross-complaint by the defendant naming Pacific Systems and all of its subsidiaries including PeopleNet as the defendants in the cross-complaint. Pacific Systems has agreed to indemnify all of its subsidiaries including PeopleNet from the liabilities of the following cases including expenses, fees or judgment.
In February 2001, a complaint was filed by Chuck Nelson in Court of Common Pleas, Mahoning County in Youngstown, Ohio against Pacific Systems for a percentage of the total purse amounts paid to boxers involved in the boxing event in China in April 2000, and for a percentage of the television revenue generated thereof. The plaintiff is claiming for incidental damages in excess of $2,500 and consequential damages in excess of $100,000. Pacific Systems denies all of the rights claimed by Chuck Nelson and will vigorously defend against all of Mr. Nelson's claims. In May 2002 Pacific Systems submitted answers to interrogatories from the plaintiff and such answers demonstrate contradictions to the plaintiff's claims. Through of March 31, 2004, Pacific Systems' has not been able to negotiate with the plaintiff regarding a settlement.
In October 2001, Pacific Systems filed a complaint against a former employee in licensing and marketing activities for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, among other causes of action, seeking declaratory relief from the court. A counter claim from the employee was filed in April 2002 against Pacific Systems and its subsidiaries. On April 15, 2002, judgment was entered against Pacific Systems and its subsidiaries in the amount of $70,527. As of June 30, 2002, $56,727 was still outstanding on the judgment. On February 11, 2003, Pacific Systems and its subsidiaries entered into a global settlement and mutual release of all claims with the former employee. Under the agreement, the defendants, including the Company, will pay to the former employee a total sum of $100,000 plus interest at the rate of 10% per year, payable in installments through August 15, 2003.
On April 9, 2002, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement with MarketRoot Corporation where the Company intends to acquire all of the outstanding shares of MarketRoot for 1,740,000 shares of the Company's common stock. MarketRoot has developed and owned an e-commerce software product. The agreement is subject to the submission of audited financial statements of MarketRoot for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the acceptance of such financial statements by the Company. As of March 31, 2004, audited financial statements of MarketRoot have not yet been submitted to the Company.
Note 9 - Common stock
Between April and May 2002, the Company issued a total of 6,680,620 stock options with exercise prices ranging from $0.08 to $0.12 per share and with gradual vesting arrangements. Due to the difference in valuation between certain intangible assets the Company acquired in March 2002 with the Company's common stock at $0.08 per share and common stock the Company sold to an investor in June 2002 at the price of $1.00 per share, the Company valued these options at a total of approximately $4.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized $3,915,930 in non-cash expenses for the stock options vested as of December 31, 2002. The remaining unvested options are deferred and will be amortized over the vesting period. During the three month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company amortized deferred compensation of $67,739.
Note 10 - Going concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $18,988,018 at March 31, 2004. The Company's total liabilities exceeded the total assets by $731,240 as of March 31, 2004. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to contin ue as a going concern.
Management's plans and the ongoing operations of the Company are expected to require additional working capital in next twelve months. The Company has historically financed operating and capital cash requirements from funds received from the parent company PSCT. The Company is attempting to raise additional capital through a private placement. However, there can be no assurance that this placement could be successfully executed due to the current adverse investment climate. During each of the quarters going forward, the Company intends to make smaller private sale of stock to accredited individuals and to obtain loans from ECapital Group, Inc. or other individuals for operation cash needs.
Item 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Forward Looking Information
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" from liability for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this Form 10-QSB and other materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by or on behalf of the Company) are forward-looking, such as statements relating to operational and financing plans, capital uses and resources, competition, and demands for the Company's products and services. Such forward-looking statements involve important risks and uncertainties, many of which will be beyond the control of the Company. These risks and uncertainties could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, both short-term and long-term, and accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in external competitive market factors or in the Company's internal budgeting process which might impact trends in the Company's results of operations, unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements, changes in the Company's business strategy or an inability to execute its strategy due to unanticipated change in the industries in which it operates, and various competitive factors that may prevent the Company from competing successfully in the marketplace. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ, please see the discussion contained herein. Readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which reflect management's view only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequence events or circumstances. Readers are also encouraged to review the Company's publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following section discusses the significant operating changes, business trends, financial condition, earnings and liquidity that have occurred in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of business, the company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company's most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results. The Company constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Although historically, actual results have not significantly deviated from those determined using the necessary estimates inherent in the preparation of financial statements, future actual results may vary significantly. Estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, customer receivables, long-term asset lives, contingencies and litigation. The Company has also chosen certain accounting policies when options were available, including:
- The intrinsic value method, or APB Opinion No. 25, to account for our common stock incentive awards; and
- We record an allowance for credit losses based on estimates of customers' ability to pay. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.
- We adopt SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in fiscal year 2002 to account for the carrying amount of the intangible assets.
- The Company expects to apply the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2 and 98-4 as well as SAB 101, to account for the sales of software and related services that may be bundled with the software license.
These accounting policies are applied consistently for all years presented. Our operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operation
PeopleNet was formed in February 1997, under the name American Champion Media, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Systems Control Technology ("PSCT"), formerly known as American Champion Entertainment. On February 8, 2002, the Company completed the spin-off from PSCT and became its own entity independent of PSCT. The shareholders of PSCT received one share of the Company's common stock for every 17 shares of PSCT stock held as of the record date of January 16, 2002.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company had insignificant operational activities and focused on seeking appropriate partners for merger.Revenues

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Based on their most recent review, which was completed within 90 days of the filing of this report, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to ensure that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
