Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
General
Peppermill Capital Corporation, a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on April
9, 1998. Peppermill has no subsidiaries. On November 22, 1999, Varner
Technologies, Inc. ("Varner") completed the purchase of 10,116,000 shares of
Peppermill Common Stock from several Peppermill shareholders. On November 19,
1999, Peppermill entered into a Letter of Intent with Varner Technologies, Inc.
("Varner"), relating to the merger of Varner into Peppermill. Varner is an
Internet service provider, and is further engaged in the marketing and sale of
long distance telephone services, prepaid telephone cards and other
telecommunications products and services via a network of independent
distributors, pursuant to a multilevel marketing plan, in 49 states of the
United States.
The purchase of the shares of Peppermill's Common Stock by Varner was made in
contemplation of a business combination/merger transaction between the two
entities, whereby it is expected that all outstanding voting and non-voting
Common Stock of Varner will be exchanged for shares of Peppermill's Common
Stock. The final terms of this business combination/merger have been negotiated,
and are contained in a formal Acquisition Agreement, which was executed on June
2, 2000. In connection therewith, Peppermill filed a Registration Statement on
Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2000, and is
currently in the process of revising the content and disclosures made in said
Registration Statement pursuant to comments received from the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, in order to achieve the effectiveness of said
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the execution of the formal Acquisition
Agreement and the filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (and all
amendments thereto), there is no guarantee that any business combination or
merger transaction will take place. Peppermill shall provide notice to and shall
seek the consent of its shareholders to the contemplated business
combination/merger with Varner upon the effectiveness of the S-4 Registration
Statement.
Peppermill originally planned to explore and develop mineral rights to certain
mineral claims in the Princeton area of British Columbia, Canada. Peppermill
currently has no planned operations or assets. It is anticipated that after the
merger, management efforts will be focused primarily on the business of Varner
and no effort will be made to develop Peppermill's mining business.
Peppermill has no revenue to date from its operations and its ability to effect
its plans for the future will depend on the availability of financing.
Plan of Operation
Peppermill has had no operations during this reporting period
2
Upon the conclusion of any final business combination/merger transaction between
Varner and Peppermill, Peppermill anticipates that the focus of its business
will shift from that of exploring and developing its mineral claims to that of
Varner, namely, providing Internet Service and engaging in the marketing and
sale of long distance telephone services, prepaid telephone cards and other
telecommunications products and services via a network of independent
distributors, pursuant to a multi-level marketing plan, in 49 states of the
United States. Notwithstanding the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, the
filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 or the filing of any revisions
or amendments to said Registration Statement, there is no guarantee that such
business combination/merger transaction will take place.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Peppermill had no assets and accrued liabilities of $44,411 as of March 31,
2001. If Peppermill is unable to raise additional capital, or if the business
combination/merger transaction with Varner does not take place, it will not be
able to engage in any future operations. No financing has been arranged.
Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 and
Forward Looking Statements
The statements contained in this Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations) that are not historical facts may
be forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the rules promulgated
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are subject to a variety
of risks and uncertainties more fully described in Peppermill's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission including, without limitation, those
described under "Risk Factors" in Peppermill's Form 10-SB Registration Statement
(File No. 000-25989) effective May 6, 1999, and those described in Peppermill's
Fourth Amended Form S-4 Registration Statement, as filed with the Commission on
May 11, 2001. The forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of
Peppermill's management, as well as assumptions made by, and information
currently available to Peppermill's management. Accordingly, these statements
are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies which could
cause Peppermill's actual growth, results, performance and business prospects
and opportunities in 2001 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed
in, or implied by, any such forward-looking statements. Wherever possible, words
such as "anticipate," "plan," "expect," "believe," "estimate," and similar
expressions have been used to identify these forward-looking statements, but are
not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These risks include the
chance that the merger with Varner Technologies, Inc. may not occur or may occur
on terms different than anticipated.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying (unaudited) financial statements of Peppermill Capital
Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have
been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Operations for the period ended March 31, 2001, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended December
31, 2001.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.
The financial data at December 31, 2000 is derived from audited financial
statements which are included in the Company's form 10-KSB and should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes
thereto.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATION/MERGER
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 22, 2000, in a private transaction, Varner Technologies, Inc.

stock. The final terms of this business combination/merger have been
negotiated, and are contained in a formal Acquisition Agreement, which was
executed on June 2, 2000. This merger is contingent upon and will not
become effective until such time as the Company completes the registration
of the underlying stock. In connection therewith, the Company filed a
fourth amended Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on May 11, 2001, and is currently in the process of
revising the content and disclosures made in said Registration Statement

requirements will be provided by the majority stockholder.
