NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
(Unaudited – See Notice to Reader)
1.
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUED OPERATIONS
Globetech Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and its principal business activities include the acquiring and developing of mineral properties and the processing of related mineral resources. During the year ended September 30, 1998 the Company determined that it was not feasible to continue its mineral property operations. The Company is currently pursuing and evaluating potential business ventures in the hi-tech field.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2002. The Company applies the same accounting policies and methods in these interim consolidated financial statements as those in the audited financial statements.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representative of the Company’s management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity:
(a)
Principals of Consolidation
These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sacolco (Pty) Ltd. (“Sacolco”), Glowing Green Minerals Ltd. (“Glowing”), and its 60% owned subsidiary Qasim Mining Enterprises Ltd. (“QMEL”). These consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the wholly owned subsidiaries of Sacolco, Impro Metals (Pty) Ltd. and Sachemco (Pty) Ltd. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
During the year ended September 30, 1998, the Company determined that it was not feasible to continue the operations of Sacolco, Glowing, and QMEL. Consequently, all net assets and related costs were written-off to operations (Note 10).
(b)
Translation of Foreign Currencies
The monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Exchange gains and loss arising on translation are included in the interim consolidated statements of operations.
All of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are integrated with the Company and translated using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Gains and losses arising from restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at each period end are included in earnings.
(c)
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are stated at the principal amount outstanding or at the Company’s acquisition costs plus accrued interest.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis except on notes receivable classified as impaired. Notes receivable are classified as impaired when there is no longer reasonable assurance as to the ultimate collectability of contractual principal or interest or when the interest or principal is 90 days past due, unless the note receivable is both well secured and in the process of collection. Notes receivable that are determined to be impaired are valued at the lower estimated realizable amount based on the present value at the lower of expected future cash flows discounted at the interest rate inherent in the original note receivable or, at the fair value of the security underlying the note receivable less disposition costs.
When a note receivable is classified as impaired, recognition of interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the note receivable ceases. Income on impaired notes receivable is reported as the change in the net present value of future cash flows. Notes receivable are restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments are current and there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to ultimate collectability.
(d)
Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to and from related parties approximate their carrying value due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these financial instruments.
(e)
Investments
The Company accounts for its investments in affiliated companies over which it has significant influence on the equity basis of accounting, whereby the investments are initially recorded at cost, adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of earnings or losses of the investee company, and reduced by dividends received. Declines in market value below costs are recognized when such declines are considered to be other than temporary.
(f)
Capital Assets
Capital assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the declining balance method at the following annual rates:
Office equipment
20%
Computer equipment
30%
In the year of acquisition, amortization is recorded at one half the normal rate, and no amortization is recorded in the year of disposition.
(g)
Income/(Loss) Per Share
Income/(loss) per share amounts have been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period was 9,489,939 (31Dec01 – 9,489,939).
The Company uses the treasury stock method of calculating fully diluted per share amounts whereby any proceeds from the exercise of stock options or other dilutive instruments are assumed to be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The assumed conversion of outstanding common share options has an anti-dilutive effect in the periods presented.
(h)
Uses of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(i)
Income Tax
Income taxes are accounted for using the future income tax method. Under this method income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year and future income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities and for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward for tax purposes that are likely to be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Tax benefits arising from past losses and unused resource pools have not been recorded due to uncertainty regarding their utilization.
(j)
Stock Based Compensation
The Company approved purchase options that are detailed in note 7. No compensation expense is recognized for this plan when shares or share purchase options are issued. Any consideration paid on the exercise of share purchase options or purchase of shares is credited to share capital. If stock or stock options are repurchased, the excess of the consideration paid over the carrying amount of the stock or stock option cancelled is charged to deficit.
3.
DUE TO/FROM RELATED PARTIES
Amounts due to the President of the Company, amounts due to and from corporations controlled by the President of the Company, and amounts due to a relative of the President of the Company are unsecured, accrue no interest, and have no fixed terms of repayment.

Also, the Company has available certain exploration and development expenditures to reduce taxable income of future years.
Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements as they are not considered likely to be realized.
11.
CONTINGENCIES
Potential legal claims may exist between the Company and certain previous holders of the Company’s convertible debentures related to certain obligations under the conversion terms of the convertible debentures.
