We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of m-Wise, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of deficit, operations, change in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the nine month periods then ended. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists primarily of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN a) Description of Business m-Wise Inc. (the "Company") is a U.S. corporation which develops interactive messaging platforms for mobile phone-based commercial applications, transactions and information services with internet billing capabilities. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, which was incorporated in 2000 under the laws of Israel. b) Going Concern The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced recurring losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. For the periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company experienced net losses of $104,605 and $1,628,027 respectively. The Company is in an industry where operational fluctuation is usually higher than other ordinary industries. The accompanying financial statements reflect management's current assessment of the impact to date of the economic situation on the financial position of the Company. Actual results may differ materially from management's current assessment. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is also contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, continuing sale of its products and attaining profitable operations. Management is pursuing various sources of equity financing. Although the Company plans to pursue additional financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing when needed or obtain such on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. -9- M-WISE, INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous period. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant: a) Basis of Presentation These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. b) Reporting Currency A majority of the Company's revenues are generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of the Company's costs are incurred in U.S. dollars. Management has determined that the U.S. dollar will be used as the Company's functional and reporting currency. Accordingly, financial statements of subsidiaries maintained in currencies other than the reporting currency are being translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 52 (SFAS 52), "Foreign Currency Translation". All translation gains and losses are directly reflected separately in stockholders' equity as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income or Loss. Foreign currency transactions of subsidiaries have been translated to their functional currencies at the rate prevailing at the time of the transaction. Realized foreign exchange gains and losses have been charged to income in the year. During the 2003 fiscal year, the subsidiaries whose reporting currency was other than US dollars were disposed and as such, the accumulated other comprehensive loss was adjusted to nil. c) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes currency, cheques issued by others, other currency equivalents, current deposits and passbook deposits. Cash equivalents include securities and short-term money market instruments that can be easily converted into cash. The investments that mature within three months from the investment date are also included as cash equivalents. d) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects managements' best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. -10- M-WISE, INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) e) Deferred Financing Fees Deferred financing fees relate to a non-interest bearing credit line facility of $300,000 provided by a shareholder as disclosed in note 6. The overdraft from the credit facility will be non-interest bearing and there will be no covenants with which the Company will need to comply. The credit line facility has no expiration date and management expects to retain the facility for a period of at least five years. Accordingly, the fees are being amortized using the straight-line method over five years. f) Equipment and Depreciation Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and is provided using the undernoted annual rates and methods: Furniture and equipment 6-15% Straight-line Computer equipment 33% Straight-line g) Accrued Severance The Company accounts for its potential severance liability of its Israel subsidiary in accordance with EITF 88-1, "Determination of Vested Benefit Obligation for a Defined Benefit Pension Plan". The Company's liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to applicable labour laws in Israel on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date for all employees. The Company's liability is fully accrued and reduced by monthly deposits with severance pay funds and insurance policies. h) Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenues from product sales, licensing, customer services and technical support. -11- M-WISE, INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) Revenues from products sales are recognized on a completed-contract basis, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"), Statement of Position 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition" and Statement of Position 81-1 "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts". The Company has primarily short-term contracts whereby revenues and costs in the aggregate for all contracts is expected to result in a matching of gross profit with period overhead or fixed costs similar to that achieved by use of the percentage-of-completion method. Accordingly, financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from the use of the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue is recognized only after all three stages of deliverables are complete; installation, approval of acceptance test results by the customer and when the product is successfully put into real-life application. Customers are billed, according to individual agreements, a percentage of the total contract fee upon completion of work in each stage; approximately 40% for installation, 40% upon approval of acceptance tests by the customer and the balance of the total contract price when the software is successfully put into real-life application. The revenues, less its' associated costs, are deferred and recognized on completion of the contract and customer acceptance. Amounts received for work performed in each stage are not refundable. On-going service and technical support contracts are negotiated separately at an additional fee. The technical support is separate from the functionality of the products, which can function without on-going support. Technology license revenues are recognized in accordance with SAB No. 101 at the time the technology and license is delivered to the customer, collection is probable, the fee is fixed and determinable, a persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, no significant obligation remains under the sale or licensing agreement and no significant customer acceptance requirements exist after delivery of the technology. Revenues relating to customer services and technical support are recognized as the services are rendered ratably over the period of the related contract. The Company does not sell products with multiple deliverables. It is management's opinion that EITF 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables" is not applicable. i) Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. -12- M-WISE, INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) j) Government Grants Government grants are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate. k) Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial statements. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not believe such changes will materially affect the financial statements in any individual year. l) Concentration of Credit Risk SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk", requires disclosure of any significant off-balance sheet risk and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance sheet risk or credit concentration. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with major Israel financial institutions. The Company's provides credit to its clients in the normal course of its operations. Depending on their size, financial strength and reputation, customers are given credit terms of up to 60 days. The Company carries out, on a continuing basis, credit checks on its clients and maintains provisions for contingent credit losses which, once they materialize, are consistent with management's forecasts. For other debts, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and sets up a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable value. For the periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, all uncollectible amounts have been written off and there was no further provision for doubtful accounts. Concentration of credit risk arises when a group of clients having a similar characteristic such that their ability to meet their obligations is expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic or other conditions. The Company does not have any significant risk with respect to a single client. -13- M-WISE, INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) m) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. At September 30, 2004 and 2003, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. 3. ACCRUED SEVERANCE PAY The Company accounts for its potential severance liability of its Israel subsidiary in accordance with EITF 88-1, "Determination of Vested Benefit Obligation for a Defined Benefit Pension Plan". The Company's liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to applicable labour laws in Israel on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date for all employees. The Company's liability is fully accrued and reduced by monthly deposits with severance pay funds and insurance policies. As at September 30, 2004 and 2003, the amount of the liabilities accrued were $54,046 and $53,197 respectively. Severance pay expenses for the periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $874 and $2,517 respectively. The deposit funds include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date from the Israeli company. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli severance pay laws or labour agreements. Cash surrender values of the deposit funds as at September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $37,808 and $30,886 respectively. Income earned from the deposit funds for 2004 and 2003 was immaterial. 4.

Commencing January 1, 2004, the annual principal repayments are calculated as a total of 5% of annual prior year's revenues. Under the loan agreements, the Company is not allowed to declare dividends except for the purpose of redemption of common stock owned by Ogen LLC, one of the stockholders of the Company. The Company may not create a pledge, charge or other encumbrance over any or all of its assets for financing without the lenders' consent and must provide notice to the lender at least 10 days prior to any such action. 5. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES The Company has issued Series "B" preferred shares, redeemable at the option of the holder at a price equal to $8.17 per share plus 10% per annum from the date of purchase through the redemption date. The Company recorded the transaction in accordance with EITF D-98, "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable securities". As such, the preference shares have been presented outside of permanent equity at its redemption value. The premium on redemption is being charged to the statement of operations as incurred. On November 19, 2003, the Company, in accordance with the holders, agreed to convert 489,456 Series "B" preferred shares into 3,124,105 common shares at a ratio of 1 to 6.3828125.

CAPITAL STOCK (cont'd) Warrants: In April 2000, 56,180 warrants, equivalent to 337,080 after the 1 to 6 forward stock split, were issued to one of the shareholders with his preferred Class "A" shares for a total investment of $750,000. Warrants will expire in the event of an initial public offering of the Company's securities. Warrants have an exercise price for preferred Class "A" shares of the Company at $4.45 per share, equivalent to $0.74 after the 1 to 6 forward stock split. No value has been assigned to the warrants and the total investment net of par value of preferred Class "A" shares has been presented as additional paid in capital. The warrants for preferred Class "A" shares were converted into warrants for common shares on a 1 to 1 basis during the year. In January 2003, the Company issued 180,441 warrants for the Class "B" preferred shares of the Company for deferral of debt for legal services rendered, which was valued at $10,000. The Warrants will expire in 2010. The warrants for preferred Class "B" shares have been converted into warrants for common shares during the year at a ratio of 1 to 6.3828125. After the conversion, the warrants were further split at the ratio of 1 to 6 in accordance with the forward stock split of the common shares. After the conversion and the forward split, there were 7,025,778 warrants outstanding each convertible to 1 common share at par value. Capital Stock: In January 2003, the Company issued 4,297,816 common shares, equivalent to 25,786,896 after the 1 to 6 forward stock split, for $250,000 of offering costs with regard to the registration of its securities with the Securities Exchange Commission. In November 2003 it was agreed upon by the parties that the fair value of the offering costs was only $60,000 and therefore 19,786,896 of the post-split shares were forfeited. The offering costs have been charged to professional services expense in the year. The cancellation has been reflected retroactively in the interim financial statements. In January 2003, the Company issued 6,315,258 Class "C" preferred shares to a shareholder for providing a non-interest bearing credit line facility of $300,000. These shares were issues at par value, which approximates the fair market value of the financing fees relating to the credit line facility. At September 30, 2004 the line of credit has not been utilized. The 6,315,258 Class "C" preferred shares were subsequently converted into 37,891,548 common shares post forward stock split. -17- M-WISE, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 7. GOVERNMENT GRANTS During the period ended September 30, 2004 the Israeli subsidiary received approximately $52,000 from a joint Israeli-Singapore government grant program. The amount is being recorded as a reduction of the research and development expense incurred in the period. The total amount approved for the grant was $186,330, which the Company is recording on a cash basis. The Israeli subsidiary is required to repay the government agency royalties in the amount of 2.5% of gross sales from the products and services being developed relating to the grant, limited to the amount of the grant. If the product is not marketable, the grant will not be repaid. As at September 30, 2004 the products have been developed but no sales have been made. As such, no amount has been paid as royalties. 8. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This Standard prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. Under SFAS No. 109 income taxes are recognized for the following: a) amount of tax payable for the current year, and b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Management determined that accounting values of its assets and liabilities recorded are not materially different from their tax values and therefore no deferred tax assets/liabilities have been setup to account for the temporary differences. -21- M-WISE, INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 8. INCOME TAXES (cont'd) The Israeli subsidiary maintains an investment program in hardware and software in the amount of $75,000 and has been granted the status of "Approved Enterprise" under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 in Israel. This status entitles the Company to an exemption from tax on income derived there from for a period of 10 years starting in the year in which the Company first generates taxable income, but not later than 14 years from the date of approval which was received on December 2002 or 12 years from commencement of operations. The tax-exempt profits that will be earned by the Company's "Approved Enterprises" can be distributed to shareholders, without imposing tax liability on the Company only upon its complete liquidation. If these retained tax-exempt profits are distributed in a manner other than in the complete liquidation of the Company they would be taxed at the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if the Company had not elected the alternative system of benefits (depending on the level of foreign investment in the Company) currently between 10% to 25% for an "Approved Enterprise". Under SFAS 109, a deferred tax liability normally would be recorded relating to taxes that would be owed on the distribution of profits even if management does not intend currently to declare dividends. As at September 30, 2004 the Israel subsidiary has not reported any taxable income and there was an accumulated deficit of approximately $250,000. There was no deferred tax liability to be recorded in the period. The Company has deferred income tax assets as follows: 2004 2003 Deferred income tax assets Non-capital losses carried forward $ 2,400,000 2,500,000 Valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets (2,400,000) (2,500,000) ----------- ----------- $ -- -- =========== =========== The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets because it is not presently more likely than not that they will be realized. The Company has accumulated tax losses in all of its subsidiaries. It is not likely that the Company will be able to generate income to utilize the tax loss. Therefore, no deferred tax assets have been set up to record the tax benefits. As at September 30, 2004, the Company has approximately $9,350,000 and $250,000 tax losses carried forward in its United States and Israeli subsidiaries. Losses in the United States subsidiary, if not utilized, will expire in twenty years from the year of origin, December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2024. For the Israel subsidiary, the losses can be carried forward indefinitely to reduce income taxes on future taxable income. -22- M-WISE, INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004 and 2003 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the period the Company incurred directors consulting fees and salaries in the amount of $180,000 (2003, $180,000). At September 30, 2004 and 2003, the amounts were unpaid and included in other payables and accrued expenses. These transactions were in the normal course of business and recorded at an exchange value established and agreed upon by the above mentioned parties. Item 2.

Cost of customer services and technical support increased 56% to $173,002 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $110,716 for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher revenues from customer services and technical support. Operating expenses Research and development. Research and development expenses increased 22% to $268,068 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $219,124 for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily due to a $20,505 increase in payroll and related expenses, partially offset by a $33,051 decrease in subcontractors expenses, This increase was also partially due to a $52,170 grant received from a joint Israeli Singapore government program during the nine months ended -24- M-WISE, INC. September 30, 2004 compared with a $111,806 grant received during the same period in 2003. We believe that we have assembled a small core of highly skilled and efficient technical personnel sufficient to conduct our current and future research and development activities. Research and development expenses, stated as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from 69% for the same period in 2003. General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 27% to $782,634 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $1,069,930 for the same period in 2003. This decrease was primarily due to a $216,020 decrease in professional services expenses, a $ 152,997 decrease in payroll and related expenses mainly due to options granted for employee services in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and a $146,223 decrease in consulting expenses, partially offset by a $100,783 increase in travel expenses and a $48,902 increase in marketing expenses.

Financing expenses Financing expenses. Our financing expenses decreased 61% to $15,080 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $39,066 for the same period in 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our principal sources of liquidity since our inception have been private sales of equity securities, stockholder loans, borrowings from banks and to a lesser extent, cash from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $ 52,827 as of September 30, 2004 and $32,538 as of December 31, 2003. Our initial capital came from an aggregate investment of $1.3 million from Cap Ventures Ltd. To date, we have raised an aggregate of $5,300,000 from placements of our equity securities (including the investment by Cap Ventures and a $4,000,000 investment by Syntek Capital AG and DEP Technology Holdings Ltd.). We have also borrowed an aggregate of $1,800,000 from Syntek Capital AG and DEP Technology Holdings Ltd. (See "Certain Transactions") and as of the date of this prospectus we have no funds available to us under bank lines of credit. We have a credit line agreement with Miretzky Holdings Limited. There is no amount currently outstanding under the line. The credit line is for $300,000.The credit line has no termination date and does not provide for interest payments. -25- M-WISE, INC. Other than the said credit line agreement with Miretzky we do not have any Commitments from any of our affiliates or current stockholders, or any other Non-affiliated parties, to provide additional sources of capital to us. We will need approximately $1.0 million for the next twelve months for our operating costs which mainly include salaries, office rent and network connectivity, which total approximately $60,000 per month, and for working capital. We intend to finance this amount from our ongoing sales and through the sale of either our debt or equity securities or a combination thereof, to affiliates, current stockholders and/or new investors. Currently we do not believe that our future capital requirements for equipment and facilities will be material. Operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 we generated $76,155 of cash in operating activities primarily due to a $340,276 increase in deferred revenues, partially offset by a $168,378 increase in accounts receivable and a $130,011 decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities. In the same period in 2003, we used $324,512 of cash in operating activities primarily due to our net loss of $1,628,027 partially offset by a compensation expense of $372,508 related to the issuance of options for employee services, a $300,000 increase in redemption premium on shares of Series B preferred stock, a $256,394 increase in other payables and accrued liabilities, and a $176,303 increase in accounts payable.
