Arinco Computer Systems, Inc., incorporated in 1978 under the laws of the State of New Mexico, and subsidiary is hereinafter referred to as the "Registrant" or the "Company". The Company is a NASDAQ Bulleting Board traded company. The Company's principal offices are located at 1650 University Boulevard, N.E., Suite 5-100, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102 and its telephone number at that location is (505)243-4949. Company's Historic Development. The Company was organized principally to serve its subsidiary operations, which have included activities in the telecommunications industry as well as the retail sale of computer equipment. Since 1988, the Company has essentially been without operations. A more detailed discussion of the Company's history follows. In 1983, the Company acquired a telephone inter-connect company which engaged in selling and installing telecommunications equipment in commercial and governmental facilities. In 1987, operations ceased when two creditors of the telephone inter-connect subsidiary received the assets of the Company under a negotiated settlement due to default on the payment of secured obligations. In 1985, the Company sold its interest in a computer retail chain to a public company involved in a similar business. Upon the default of the purchaser to meet its cash and securities payment obligations to the Company, a suit was instituted and judgement was secured against the purchaser and guarantor for the balance owing on notes, interest thereon, and attorneys fees. In 1986, the purchaser filed bankruptcy and in 1987, the guarantor filed bankruptcy. In 1995, the Company received an interim distribution of $284,000 from the bankrupt estate of the guarantor. During 1996, a creditor petitioned the court to recall the distribution. See Item 3: Legal Proceedings for further discussion of this matter. As a result of these events, the Company is currently without operations. Management is actively soliciting and pursuing investment possibilities in the form of acquisitions of privately held businesses. See Item 6 Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations for information relating to a definitive agreement signed on March 9, 2000 which would provide the Company with additional working capital and a new line of business. Employees. The Company currently has no employees who are compensated for their efforts. The sole officer and director of the Company is employed without compensation, but is reimbursed for all out of pocket expenses incurred in transacting business on behalf of the Company. The time incurred by the Company's sole officer and director is minimal based upon current activity. ITEM 2: DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. The Company utilizes office space at 1650 University Blvd., N.E., Suite 5-100, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102. The space utilized is minimal and it pays no rent for its use. The Company's sole officer and director manages this property. ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Management of the Company is not aware of any legal or administrative actions now pending or contemplated against the Company, except as discussed below. On March 31, 1986, the Company filed a lawsuit against Pathfinder Computer Centers Corporation and its organizers (defendants) seeking the balance due of $450,000 on a note plus accrued interest (guaranteed by Aaron D. and Jerilyn H. Silver). On February 14, 1990, the Company settled the litigation and received settlement proceeds in 1995 of approximately $284,000. Subsequent to receipt of these settlement proceeds, a creditor whose claim had been disallowed in the defendant's bankruptcy proceedings was successful in having the order disallowing its claim set aside. If the claim is subsequently allowed, the creditor could petition the court to have the bankruptcy trustee recall the settlement proceeds; however, to date, no action has been taken. Management believes court action requiring recall of the settlement proceeds is unlikely; nevertheless, it is reasonably possible that such an event will occur, although the amount of the recall cannot currently be estimated. ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of the 1999 fiscal year to a vote of security holders, through solicitation of proxies or otherwise. PART II ITEM 5: MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. The Registrant's common stock has been listed on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board under the symbol ARCU. The following table sets forth for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices as reported, which represents inter dealer prices without adjustment for retail markups, markdowns or commissions, and may not reflect actual transactions. 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- High Low High Low ------- ------- ------- ------- First quarter $ .10 $ .01 $ .10 $ .01 Second quarter .05 .05 .10 .01 Third quarter .19 .06 .10 .01 Fourth quarter .25 .06 .10 .01 There were approximately 400 holders of the Registrant's common stock on March 7, 2000. The Registrant has never paid dividends on its common stock. ITEM 6: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS. Plan of Operation: As the Company has not had revenues from operations in each of the last two fiscal years, the following represents management's plans of operations for the next twelve months. The Company is presently without revenues or cash flows from operations. Based upon current activity levels, management believes that cash on hand and trading securities are sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for the next twelve months, which are expected to consist of general and administrative costs incurred to maintain good standing as a publicly traded company, unless the transaction with Pangea Internet Advisors LLC is consummated, which is discussed in more detail below. On March 9, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Pangea Internet Advisors LLC ("Pangea"), a private investment firm focused on the acquisition and management of internet and related infrastructure and service technology businesses. The agreement provides for a cash investment of up to $40 million in newly-issued Company preferred stock by Pangea and certain other investors to be identified by Pangea at a purchase price on an as converted basis of $.25 per share of Company common stock. As part of the proposed transaction, certain investors will acquire five- year warrants to acquire shares representing 20% of the Company's common stock on a fully-diluted basis at varying exercise prices. The proposed transaction is expected to close by the end of March; however, it remains subject to certain closing conditions and no assurance can be given that the proposed transaction will be consummated. In the event this transaction does not close, management will resume its efforts soliciting and pursuing other investment possibilities in the form of acquisitions of privately held businesses. However, it should be noted, management is engaged on a full time basis in other activities, endeavors and professions. Considering the Company's limited resources, there can be no assurance given that the Company will succeed in attracting another acquisition or merger prospect. The Company currently has no employees. Year 2000 Issues: Because of the limited activities of the Company, year 2000 issues were minimal. The Company has not incurred any year 2000 problems with its computer hardware and software, financial institutions or professional service providers, nor does management expect to incur any future problems.

See accompanying notes. ARINCO COMPUTER SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSILIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1999 and 1998 NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Arinco Computer Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of New Mexico on March 31, 1978. The Company is a publicly-held, over-the-counter traded company that has had no business operations since 1988. The Company's activities consist primarily of paying general and administrative costs. Prior to the settlement of certain liabilities of the Company in 1998 (Note C), the Company reported on the liquidation basis of accounting; however, this change in reporting had no effect on the 1999 or 1998 financial statements or their presentation. At present, the Company has no employees and is wholly dependent on the personal efforts of its officer and director, who is engaged full-time in other activities, endeavors, and professions. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows. 1. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, New Start, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 2. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Earnings (loss) per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period after deduction of preferred stock dividends, if applicable. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same because the effect of convertible preferred stock would be antidilutive. 3. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in accounts, which may exceed federally insured limits or may not be federally insured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. 4. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes; accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 5. Securities Trading securities (cost of $127,000 and $79,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively) are bought with the intention of selling them in the near term and are carried at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses included in earnings. Cost is determined by the average cost method in computing realized gains and losses. Unrealized gains (losses) of $16,000 and ($30,000) were included in earnings for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company advanced $20,000 under a note receivable from a related party during 1999. This advance, as well as $16,000 advanced in 1998, was repaid in 1999 including interest at 8.5%. The Company's investment in equity securities consists of common stock of a publicly traded entity, which is under common control, as the Company's sole officer and director is also President and Chief Executive Officer of this entity. These securities are classified as trading. NOTE C - EXTINGUISHMENT OF LIABILITIES The Company incurred certain liabilities which could not be paid as a result of unprofitable operations before 1988. During 1998, the Company reviewed these old liabilities and, upon advice from legal counsel, determined that liabilities totaling approximately $666,000 were no longer enforceable as claims against the Company. As a result of extinguishment of these obligations, an extraordinary income item of $666,000 was recognized in the fourth quarter of 1998. NOTE D - INCOME TAXES The following is a reconciliation between the Company's tax provision to the tax computed at the statutory federal rate: Year ended December 31, ------------------------ 1999 1998 --------- --------- Tax expense at statutory rate $ 3,000 $ 209,000 State income taxes - 25,000 Change in valuation allowance 9,000 (246,000) Revision of prior year estimate (12,000) - Other - 12,000 --------- --------- $ - $ - ========= ========= As of December 31, 1999, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes as follows: Expiration date 2001 $ 37,000 2003 3,000 2004 28,000 2005 15,000 2006 39,000 2007 75,000 2008 73,000 2009 73,000 2011 36,000 2012 23,000 2019 8,000 --------- $ 410,000 ========= The Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following at December 31, 1999: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 164,000 Valuation allowance (164,000) --------- $ - ========= The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased $9,000 and increased $94,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The increase for 1998 was a result of an increase in prior years operating losses of $340,000 and usage of prior year operating loss carryforwards of $246,000. NOTE E - CAPITAL STOCK The Company's preferred stock has full voting rights, accumulates $.06 per share cumulative dividends annually, and is convertible on a share-for-share basis to the Company's common stock. Dividends on outstanding preferred stock are payable annually each May 31 beginning May 31, 1985. Preferred stockholders are not entitled to payment of any accrued but unpaid dividends existing at the time of a voluntary conversion of such stock to common stock. NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Management believes that certain liabilities formerly reported by the Company are now time barred from collection and are no longer reported as liabilities of the Company. NOTE G - SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION On March 31, 1986, the Company filed a lawsuit against Pathfinder Computer Centers Corporation and its organizers (defendants) seeking the balance due of $450,000 on a note plus accrued interest (guaranteed by Aaron D. and Jerilyn H. Silver). On February 14, 1990, the Company settled the litigation and received settlement proceeds in 1995 of approximately $284,000. Subsequent to receipt of these settlement proceeds, a creditor whose claim had been disallowed in the defendant's bankruptcy proceedings was successful in having the order disallowing its claim set aside. If the claim is subsequently allowed, the creditor could petition the court to have the bankruptcy trustee recall the settlement proceeds; however, to date, no action has been taken. Management believes court action requiring recall of the settlement proceeds is unlikely; nevertheless, it is reasonably possible that such an event will occur, although the amount of the recall cannot currently be estimated. NOTE H - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. 1. Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity and highly liquid nature of those instruments. 2. Trading Securities The estimated fair values are based upon quoted market prices. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: Carrying Estimated amount fair value --------- ---------- Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 133,000 $ 133,000 Trading securities 112,000 112,000 NOTE I - SUBSEQUENT EVENT On March 9, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Pangea Internet Advisors LLC ("Pangea"), a private investment firm focused on the acquisition and management of internet and related infrastructure and service technology businesses. The agreement provides for a cash investment of up to $40 million in newly-issued Company preferred stock by Pangea and certain other investors to be identified by Pangea at a purchase price on an as converted basis of $.25 per share of Company common stock. As part of the proposed transaction, certain investors will acquire five- year warrants to acquire shares representing 20% of the Company's common stock on a fully-diluted basis at varying exercise prices. The proposed transaction is expected to close by the end of March; however, it remains subject to certain closing conditions and no assurance can be given that the proposed transaction will be consummated.
