NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2006 and 2005
NOTE A - ADJUSTMENTS
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) consolidated results of operations for the nine month periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 (b) the consolidated financial position at October 31, 2006 and (c) the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 have been made. The results of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
We operated primarily through our subsidiaries:
Our Approximate | |||
Name of Subsidiary | Percentage Ownership | ||
Multi Soft, Inc. | 51.3% | ||
FreeTrek, Inc. | 45.8% | ||
NetCast, Inc. | 75%. |
Our financial statements are consolidated with our subsidiaries. In January 2000, the operations of NetCast were discontinued. In January 2003, the operations of FreeTrek were discontinued. In March 2005, the operations of Multi Soft were discontinued and the Company ceased all operations except for obtaining additional financing and continuing efforts to find an acquirer.
NOTE B - UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 31, 2006 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company ceased operations in March 2005, disposed of or abandoned assets but continues to owe significant liabilities. There were significant losses from operations which occurred in this period and continued until operations ceased. The Company incurred losses of $42,605 for the nine months ended October 31, 2006. Stockholders’ deficiency as of October 31, 2006 was approximately $1,990,000 as compared to approximately $877,000 as of January 31, 2002, which is mostly the result of losses from the period of February 1, 2002 through October 31, 2006 of approximately $1,113,000.
- 5 -
Current liabilities exceed cash and receivables by approximately $386,000 as of October 31, 2006 indicating that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations for the foreseeable future. These factors indicate that the Company will not continue as a going concern unless it is acquired in a reverse merger transaction.
As further discussed in Note F, current management is seeking acquisition of the Company through a reverse merger transaction The Company believes that these measures may provide sufficient liquidity for it to continue as a going concern.
NOTE C - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Multi Soft, FreeTrek and NetCast. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years.
3. Capitalization of Computer Software Development Costs
Capitalized software development costs relating to products for which technological feasibility has been established qualify for capitalization under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.”
Research and development costs associated with the creation of computer software prior to reaching technological feasibility are expensed as incurred, except for related computer equipment expenditures such as personal computers and other hardware components, which are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives if the equipment is deemed to have alternative future use.
Capitalized software development costs are amortized to operations when the product is available for general release to customers. Amortization is calculated using (a) the ratio of current gross revenues for the product to the total of current and anticipated gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining useful life of the product, whichever is greater.
- 6 -
Multi Soft amortized, over a sixty-month period, the capitalized software costs for its Windows-based products. Unamortized costs relating to Windows products at October 31, 2006 were $NIL (net of valuation allowance of $210,000). During the quarter ended April 31, 2002, the capitalized development costs were written down to the net value expected to be realized through all future periods.
The capitalized development costs for FreeTrek were written off during the quarter ended April 30, 2002 as we later determined that the costs would never be realized.
4. Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 97-2), the Company’s policy is to recognize license and maintenance fees when earned and consulting fee income when services are rendered. License fees are recognized upon shipment of the software while maintenance fees are recorded over the period covered by the related contract. Consulting is performed on a time and material basis.
5. Deferred Compensation
Deferred compensation arising from the issuance of stock grants is amortized over the term of the related grant or employment agreements (one to five years). The amount of compensation attributable to stock grants is determined by the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant.
6. Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share” ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 specifies the compilation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. Net loss per common share - basic and diluted is determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding.
Net loss per common share - diluted does not include potential common shares derived from stock options and warrants (see Note C) because they are antidilutive.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7. Estimates
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 liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8. Income Taxes
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which significantly changes the accounting for deferred income taxes. The standard provides for a liability approach under which deferred income taxes are provided for based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the taxes become payable.
9. Valuation of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company has recorded provision for the impairment of long-lived assets at October 31, 2006 as follows: capitalized software development costs - $210,000.
10. Risks, uncertainties and certain concentrations of credit risk and economic dependency
The Company's future results of operations involve a number of significant risks and uncertainties. The Company is dependent on finding a merger partner in order to survive. Additional factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, dependence on key personnel, dependence on a limited number of customers, ability to design new products and product obsolescence, ability to generate consistent sales, ability to finance research and development, government regulation, technological innovations and acceptance, competition, reliance on certain vendors, credit and other risks.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and money market accounts in one bank, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits or not be insured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

11. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Corrections - A Replacement of APB No. 29 and FASB No. 3." The statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principles. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions those provisions should be followed.
Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable.
The Statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and its related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity investments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement requires all share based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements. The proforma disclosures previously permitted will no longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition. For public entities that file as small business issuers, this statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim period or annual reporting period that begins after December 31, 2005. We will adopt this new standard effective for the first quarter of 2006. Future compensation expense may be impacted by various factors including the number of options granted and their related fair value at the date of grant.

October 31, 2006 and 2005
In December, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153 "Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets - an amendment to APB Opinion No. 29". The guidance in APB No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for the nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of this statement are effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have any material effect on the Company.
In November, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, "Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing", to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that "under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges." This statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have any material effect on the Company.
NOTE D - LITIGATION
From time to time, the Company is party to what it believes are routine litigation and proceedings that may be considered as part of the ordinary course of its business. Except for the proceedings noted below, the Company is not aware of any pending litigation or proceedings that could have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

October 31, 2006 and 2005
As of October 17, 2006, there is one outstanding judgment against the Company:
o | New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for $1,275 filed on May 24, 2004. |
As of October 17, 2006, there are four outstanding judgments against Multi Soft, Inc.:
o | New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for $13,889 filed on March 26, 2002. |
o | New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for $6,691 filed on April 22, 1994. |
o | State of New Jersey for $5,183.78 filed August 24, 1994. |
o | A commercial service provider for $15,972 filed on March 14, 2003. |
All of the above mentioned judgments are reflected in the balance sheets under various captions in current liabilities.
In May 1997, a lawsuit was commenced against NetCast by former consultants for approximately $113,000. The Company vigorously defended the lawsuit. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000 this lawsuit was found in favor of the plaintiff. Although NetCast is liable for the damages from this lawsuit, it has no assets and has discontinued operations. Consequently, no future income will be earned and NetCast will never have any assets. The Company is not liable for the debts of NetCast. The liability for this award has been included in the consolidated financial statements under the caption “Litigation judgment payable - NetCast subsidiary”.
NOTE E - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY
Stock and Option Compensation Plan
In June 1993, the Company adopted an Employee, Consultant and Advisory Stock and Option Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, an aggregate of up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the common stock), and/or options to purchase common stock may be granted to persons who are, at the time of issuance or grant, employees or officers of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company. To date, an aggregate of 1,477,380 shares has been issued pursuant to the Plan.
Prior Period Adjustment
Effective for the quarter ended April 30, 2002, the Company determined that the liability of $113,000 for the NetCast litigation judgment awarded during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000, should have been recorded and reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, the opening accumulated deficit was adjusted by the previously omitted liability of $113,000.

Operating Leases:
The Company current has no lease obligations.
Employment Agreements:
Multi Soft has employment agreements with two officers which provide aggregate minimum annual compensation of $200,000 through July 1999, and which are automatically renewed annually.
These officers, Charles Lombardo and Miriam Jarney, have each relinquished unpaid salaries.
In addition, the employment agreements entitle the two employees to 2% and 1.5% respectively, of each fiscal year’s after tax profits of Multi Soft. Mr. Lombardo and Ms. Jarney have agreed to forego this additional compensation since fiscal 1997.
NetCast Subsidiary:
NetCast, Inc. is a subsidiary company and was incorporated in April of 1996. It is in the business of developing new Internet technologies to create a series of products and businesses that will extend the power of advertising on the Internet. The Company currently owns 75% of NetCast. The Board of Directors consists of two officers, Charles Lombardo and Miriam Jarney. NetCast developed certain software products and attempted to raise private funding for its operations.
In January 2000 the Board of Directors decided to discontinue any further operations of NetCast, Inc. with the result that a loss from discontinued operations in the amount of $87,462 was reflected in the statement of operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000.

NOTE H - INCOME TAXES
The Company and its subsidiaries are delinquent in filing Federal and state income tax returns. The last tax returns filed were for the year ended January 31, 2002.
As a result of losses incurred in recent years, the Company and its subsidiaries separately have net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future federal taxable income of approximately $8.1 million as of January 31, 2002 (estimated at approximately $9 million at January 31, 2006, after the filing of tax returns which has not as yet been done). These losses expire at various dates through 2022. Because of the uncertainty in the Company's ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards, a full valuation allowance of approximately $2,754,000 has been provided on the deferred tax asset.
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the utilization of Federal net operating loss and other credit carryforwards when an ownership change, as defined by the tax law, occurs. Generally, this occurs when a greater than 50 percentage point change in ownership occurs. Accordingly, the actual utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets for tax purposes may be limited annually under Code Section 382 to a percentage (about 5%) of the fair market value of the Company at the time of any such ownership change. Once the ownership changes referred to in Subsequent Events herein are effectuated, the Company may no longer be able to utilize the loss carryovers.
The Company adopted, effective February 1, 1993, SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the liability method specified by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The principal types of differences between assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax return purposes are capitalized software development costs, deferred compensation, deferred revenues and allowance for uncollectible accounts. Due to the aforementioned net operating loss carryovers, there is no deferred or current tax expense, nor any tax assets or tax liabilities.
NOTE I - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Multi Soft, from time to time, paid incidental expenses of Multi Solutions and allocates its share of certain overhead items. These items are charged to an intercompany receivable. Multi Soft has not been receiving payments of these balances. The balance due from Multi Solutions was $390,398 as of October 31, 2006.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Statement
This quarterly report on form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, our anticipated financial and operating results and those of our subsidiaries. For this purpose, forward-looking statements are any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to, those preceded by or that include the words, “believes,” “expects,” or similar expressions. In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we are including this cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause our or our subsidiaries' actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us.
Results of Operations
Nine months ended October 31, 2006 compared to six months ended October 31, 2005
We generated revenues during the nine months ended October 31, 2006, of $NIL compared to revenues of $9,058 during the nine months ended October 31, 2005. The revenues during the prior year were generated by our subsidiary, Multi Soft. The decrease in revenues of $9,058 or approximately 100% was due primarily to a decrease in Multi Soft’s primary sources of revenues - license, and maintenance fees representing essentially the discontinuance of regular business operations..
Our operating expenses were $30,410 for the nine months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $30,257 for the nine months ended October 31, 2005, a decrease of $153 or less than 1% resulting from essentially discontinuing our operations. Expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2006 were substantially all related to legal and accounting costs for preparing financial statements in preparation for filing delinquent period reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We had other income/(expenses) of ($12,195) during the nine months ended October 31, 2006 (representing interest accrued on the convertible debentures) compared to ($875) of other income during the first nine months ended October 31, 2005. All other expense during these periods were for interest accrued on the convertible debentures.
As a result of all of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss for the nine months ended October 31, 2006 of $42,605 compared to a net loss of $22,074 for the nine months ended October 31, 2005, an increase of $20,531 or approximately 93%.

Major Customers
No individual customer accounted for a significant portion of revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 31, 2006, we had a negative working capital position of ($385,766), compared to negative working capital of ($343,673) at January 31, 2006 and we continue to experience cash flow difficulties.
Working Capital and Current Ratios were:
October 31, 2006 | January 31, 2006 | ||||||
Working capital | ($365,201 | ) | ($343,161 | ) | |||
Current ratios | 0.016:1 | 0.066:1 |
Cash decreased $22,050 for the nine months ended October 31, 2006 compared to an increase of $34,072 for the comparable period of the prior year. During the nine months ended July 31, 2006 we used $22,050 of cash for operating activities compared to $110,428 of cash used for operating activities in the nine months ended October 31, 2005.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since inception and we do not anticipate that we will be declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Therefore, we cannot assure that dividends of any kind will ever be paid.
Effect of Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations for the periods presented.

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
1. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures.
2. MULTI SOLUTIONS, INC. was unable to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Accordingly, the Chief Executive and Principal Accounting Officer could not conclude that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective both as of the period of this report and the date of this filing, in timely alerting him to material information required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings relating to the Company. However, we were able to determine the following:
3. Our controls relating to disclosure and related assertions in the financial statements, particularly in the area of non-routine and non-systematic transactions were not adequate because recordkeeping was not kept up to date since January 31, 2002. However, through the use of an outside accounting consultant, we were able to correct errors and make the proper disclosures.
We do not have any internal accounting staff and we will need to engage the assistance of a third party financial accounting consulting firm to prepare our accounting records and financial statements.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting:
1. We have engaged the services of a financial accounting consultant to continue to monitor and prepare accounting records and financial statements as necessary.
