NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Effective June 28, 2000 the Company affected a reverse stock split
of its common stock whereby shareholders were given one new share
for every six shares held prior to the reverse split. All share
amounts presented within these financial statements, both for the
current and comparative period have been stated on a post reverse
split basis.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The business combinations have been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, and the Company includes the
results of operations of the acquired business from the date of
acquisition. Net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at
their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is
included in purchase intangibles and goodwill in the accompanying
consolidation balance sheet.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
PURCHASED INTANGIBLES AND GOODWILL
Purchased intangibles consist primarily of software, licenses,
customer lists, trademarks, rights contracts and contest
agreements. Purchased intangibles of $8,778 (1999 - $15,295) are
stated net of total accumulated amortization of $10,676 (1999 -
$1,887) at June 30, 2000 in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet. Purchased intangibles are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over two to five years.
Goodwill of $2,374 (1999 - $5,484) is stated net of total
accumulated amortization of $3,855 (1999 - $745) at June 30, 2000
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill is being
amortized on a straight-line basis principally over two years.
ADVERTISING COSTS
The cost of advertising is expenses as incurred
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and related interpretations, in accounting for its
employee stock options rather than the alternative fair value
accounting allowed by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensations". APB No. 25 provides that the compensation expense
relative to the Company's employee stock options is measured based
on the intrinsic value of the stock option. SFAS No. 123 requires
companies that continue to follow APB No. 25 to provide a pro
forma disclosure of the impact of applying the fair value of SFAS
No. 123.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D...)
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar
while its reporting currency is the United States dollar. The
assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are translated
using the exchange rate in effect at period end, and revenues and
expenses are translated at the average rate during the period.
Exchange gains or losses on translation of the Company's net
equity investments in these subsidiaries are reported as a
separate component of other comprehensive income in shareholders'
equity. The translation adjustments as a June 30, 2000 and June
30, 1999 were insignificant.
EQUIPMENT
Equipment is recorded at cost. Amortization is provided over the
estimated useful life of the asset using the declining balance
basis at the following rates:
Computer software 12 months
Office equipment and furniture 60 months
Leasehold Improvements Term of the lease
Computer equipment 40 months
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company earns revenue from membership and other fees received
for Internet-based sports information, sports contest organization
services, sports marketing and member information. Membership fees
are received prior to the beginning of a particular sport season
or event and recorded as deferred revenue until recognized in
revenue ratably over the season or upon completion of the event.
Other fees received for Internet-based sports information, sports
marketing and sports contest organization services are recognized
in income ratably over the season or upon completion of the event.
Fees from the sale of member information is recognized upon
delivery and customer acceptance. Revenues from the sale of
product in the publishing segment are recognized when product is
shipped based on gross sales less a provision for estimated
returns. Deferred revenue of $360 (1999 - $nil) was recorded on
the consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2000.
PRIZE AWARDS
Members, as well as non-members, are entitled to enter into
contests provided by the Company. Prizes are awarded upon
completion of the sports season or event and are paid by the
Company or the contest's sponsors. Prize awards are fixed in
amount and determinable prior to commencement of the season or
event and are expensed at the commencement of the season or event
to which they relate.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and
cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities, accrued prize commitments and accrued commission on
stock issuance. It is management's opinion that the Company is not
exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising
from these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of these
current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due
to their immediate or short-term nature.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D...)
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for utilizing the liability method.
Deferred income taxes are provided to represent the tax
consequence on future years for temporary differences between the
financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes are measured utilizing enacted tax rates
expected to be in effect in the years in which the temporary
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance has
been provided for the total amount of deferred tax assets that
would otherwise be recorded for income tax benefits primarily
relating to operating loss carryforwards, as realization cannot be
determined to be more likely than not.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options and
convertible debentures. Basic loss per share is computed using the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period and includes common shares issued subsequent to the period
end for which all consideration had been received prior to the
period end and which no other contingencies existed. Diluted loss
per share is equal to the basic loss per share as the effect of
the stock options and convertible debentures are anti-dilutive.
There are no other dilutive common stock equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are
excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Effective June 1, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of

NOTE 5. DEFERRED CHARGES AND PREPAID ROYALTIES (CONT'D...)
The Company has prepaid the minimum royalty for each of the first
two years of the agreement, totaling $5,750. Amortization of the
current year's prepaid royalty is calculated on a monthly basis.
Each month's expense is equal to the greater of (a) the amount
calculated by using a straight line amortization over the period
of the effective years' prepaid royalty, or (b) the amount that
would be otherwise payable based on the actual royalty

the purchaser has the right, at its option, on or before maturity
to convert the outstanding amount. These rights will only arise in
the event the Company is able to raise gross proceeds of not less
than $5,000. The principal and accumulated interest may be
converted at the rate of (a) one common stock per $18.00 of
principal and interest if the private offering is $18.00 per share
or greater or (b) the price at which the private offering is
completed, if such price is less than $18.00 per share. Series 1
convertible debentures are secured by all of the companies
property and assets, real and personal, moveable and immovable,
tangible and intangible, of every nature and kind whatsoever,
wheresoever, both present and future. In connection with the
Series 1 convertible debentures, the Company granted warrants to
acquire up to 13 common shares at an exercise price of $17.40 per
share. Of these warrants, 5 expire on January 31, 2001, and the
remaining 8 warrants expire on February 21, 2001. The Warrants
have been recorded at their fair value estimated at the date of
grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model ($9.36 per share
underlying the Warrant) as a deferred charge, and has been fully
amortized as at year end.

NOTE 8. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND ACCRUED INTEREST
On December 21, 1999 the Company issued a Convertible Promissory
Note ("Note") for $5,000, convertible at the holders option into
common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $17.40 per
share. This conversion price may be reduced upon the Company
issuing common stock, or instruments convertible into common stock
at a price of less than $17.40 per share. The Note bears interest
at the rate of 5% per annum, payable at maturity in cash or shares
of common stock. The note has a term of four years. The Note can
be converted into shares at the Company's option following a
public offering providing gross proceeds to the Company of not
less than $20,000, having an initial per share price to the public
of not less than $30.00 per share. As at June 30, 2000 interest of
$132 has accrued on the Note.
As a result of the acquisition of St. Clair, the repricing rights
granted to Sportsline resulted in a reduction in the conversion
price to $12.456 per share.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Deferred compensation of $4,945 (1999 - $1,513) is stated net of
accumulated amortization of $7,840 (1999 - $233). No additional
deferred compensation was recorded during the three months ended
June 30, 2000. The amount recorded represents the difference
between the grant price and the fair value of the Company's common
stock for shares subject to options granted during the period. The
amortization of deferred compensation is charged to operations
over the vesting period of the options, which ranges from 15
months to 3 years. Total amortization recognized in the three
months ended June 30, 2000 was $1,955 (1999 - $213).
PRO FORMA DISCLOSURE
The Company follows the intrinsic value method in accounting for
its stock options. Had compensation cost been recognized based on
the fair value at the date of grant, the pro forma amounts of the
Company's net loss and net loss per share for the period ended
June 30, 2000 would have been as follows:
Three Three
Months ended Months ended
June 30, 2000 June 30, 1999

Basic and diluted loss per share as reported $ (1.05) $(0.45)
Basic and diluted loss per share - pro forma $ (1.12) ($0.71)
The fair value for each option granted was estimated at the date
of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming no
expected dividends and the following weighted average assumptions:
Average risk-free interest rates 5.0%
Average expected life (in years) 5.0
Volatility factor 98.5%
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year
was $5.08.

NOTE 12. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company operates in three operating segments across domestic
and international markets, contest management publishing and
sports marketing. International sales, including export sales from
the United States to Canada, represented approximately 38% (1999 -
82%) of net sales for the three months ending June 30, 2000. No
other foreign country or geographic area accounted for more than
10% of net sales in any of the periods presented. Net transfers
from Canada to the United States amounted to $903 (1999 - $nil)
for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Capital assets and
purchased intangibles in the United States equal approximately
$7,020 (1999 $12,457). The remaining capital assets and purchased
intangibles are in Canada.
The Company entered into the publishing segment through its
acquisition of Ultimate Sports Publishing in June, 1999 (Note 2.
There have been no material changes in assets relating to the
publishing segment since that time. The company entered into the
Sports Marketing segment through its acquisition of St. Clair

Contest management revenues are earned primarily from fees from
consumers who pay to enter sports contests (19% of contest
management sector revenues), fees from companies that license the
contest applications (70% of contest management sector revenues)
and advertising and sponsorship revenue (12% of contest management
sector revenues). Publishing revenues are earned primarily from
newsstand sales (88% of publishing revenues) and advertising
within the publications (11% of publishing revenues). Sports
Marketing revenues are earned primarily from print sales (80% of
the Sports Marketing revenue) and advertising spots (20% of the
Sports Marketing revenue).
NOTE 13. GOING CONCERN
The Company is in an extremely competitive industry and it will
require substantial capital from outside sources in order to
complete its business plan. The Company is in default of a loan
and anticipates that it will continue to generate financial losses
for the foreseeable future. In the event the Company is
unsuccessful in securing outside capital, it may be required to
curtail or cease operations altogether. As a result, substantial
doubt exists regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis of the results and operations and financial condition of
the company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, including the notes thereto, of the company contained elsewhere in
this Form 10-QSB
OVERVIEW
ISN was originally incorporated on April 28, 1997 in Nevada for the purpose
of providing interactive, computer sports entertainment through the Internet.
The Company has a limited operating history on which to evaluate its
prospects. The risks, expense, and difficulties encountered by start up
companies must be considered when evaluating ISN's prospects.
The operating expenses of ISN cannot be predicted with certainty. They will
depend on several factors, including the amount of marketing expenses, the
acceptance of the Company's services in the market, competition for such
services, and the acquisition activities of the Company. Management may be
able to control the timing of such expenses in part by speeding up or slowing
down marketing development and distribution activities and acquisition
strategies.
From its inception in April 1997 to date, ISN has incurred costs associated
with the development of its internet sports entertainment products, probable
markets and business. ISN incurred costs for conducting test marketing for
its products and received revenues as a result. The test marketing consisted
of advertising, processing membership applications and analysis of responses.
During the period, ISN purchased computer and telecommunication equipment as
necessary to conduct its operations.
ISN financed its expenditures primarily through the sale of its common stock
and issuance of debt. Since inception through June 30, 2000, the company
issued approximately 12,982,000 common shares for net cash consideration of
approximately $10,835,000, $2,192,807 in promissory notes, and $8,076,915 in
convertible debt.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has incurred losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit
of $33,061,000 to June 30, 2000. The Company is currently in default with three
loans and its convertible debt. The Company anticipates that it will continue to
generate financial losses for the foreseeable future. Based on the Company's
current working capital position, and the cash required to fund the current
level of operations, the Company has sufficient liquidity to operate for
approximately two months. If the Company is unable to obtain equity or debt
financing, or generate additional cash through the sale of assets by August 31,
2000, the Company will not be able to continue operating in the short term. The
Company's long term ability to meet its liquidity requirements and to continue
operations will depend on (i) its ability to develop a long term sustainable
debt and equity financing structure, (ii) its ability to generate advertising
and sponsorship revenue on its Internet properties, (iii) the continued growth
and acceptance of the Internet and (iv) its ability to continue to provide
innovative and reliable products for its ASP client base. If the Company is
unable to reduce its operating losses, either in the short-term or the
long-term, and it is unable to secure outside capital to meet the resulting
liquidity shortfall, the Company may be forced to reduce or discontinue some or
all of its operations, sell certain of its assets, or seek protection under the
federal bankruptcy laws. Under United States Generally Accepted Auditing
Statements substantial doubt exists regarding the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern.
It is the intention of management to address its liquidity and debt situation by
(i) restructuring its outstanding debt, (ii) raising the additional capital
through the sale of additional capital stock of the Company, (iii) selling
non-core assets. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in any
or all of these initiatives.
22
The Company's primary cash requirements are for operating activities and
acquisition activities. Cash used in operating activities for the period
ending June 30, 2000 was $1,632,000 (as compared to $755,000 for the period
ending June 30, 1999) related primarily to infrastructure costs required to
manage the continued growth of the Company and the purchase of St. Clair
totaling $1,271,000. The increase in cash used in operating activities was
due to the staffing of the operation to grow the business. Total headcount as
at June 30, 2000 was 83 as compared to 31 as at June 30, 1999.
Cash used in acquisition activities for the period ending June 30, 2000 was
$1,271,000 (as compared to $860,000 for the period ending June 30, 1999). Since
inception, the Company has funded its capital requirements by financing
activities, primarily through the sale of its equity securities, debt and
convertible debt. Capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions) during the
period ending June 30, 2000 were $60,000 as compared to $174,000 for 3 months
ended June 30, 2000. Capital expenditures were primarily for computer technology
to manage the contest management strategy. From inception to June 30, 2000 the
Company has spent $697,000 on capital equipment. ISN has no significant
commitments to acquire equipment in the future, although the Company expects to
spend approximately $800,000 in capital assets over the next 12 month period
subject to the Company's cash availability.
The Company operates in an extremely competitive industry and it will require
substantial capital from external sources in order to complete the execution of
its business plan. The Company anticipates that it will continue to generate
financial losses for the foreseeable future. In the event the Company is
unsuccessful in securing outside capital, it may be required to curtail or cease
operations altogether. As a result, substantial doubt exists regarding the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company's management believes that an additional $4,000,000 in funding,
as well as a seasonal line of credit in the amount of $1,000,000 and the
revenues generated by its operations will be sufficient to fund its
operations for the next twelve months under the current plan of operations.
Additional funding will be required for further acquisition activity,
depending on the cash component of the purchase price of any contemplated
acquisitions. It is expected that such funds will be obtained by the sale of
additional capital stock of the Company, although there can be no assurance
that ISN will be able to obtain such funds.
Beyond the next twelve month period, the Company will require working capital
to fund operations during the off peak months (June to August). Excluding
acquisition activity, the funds required would be approximately $1,500,000.
Any additional capital requirements would be due to acquisition activities,
or modifications to the current growth plans.
ISN financed the acquisition of St. Clair through the issuance of a
promissory note in the amount of $1,203,000 (CAD$1,800,000). The note was due
on July 15, 2000 and is currently in default.
As a result of the St. Clair acquisition in June 2000, the conversion price
for the SportsLine Note and Warrant were adjusted in accordance with their
terms to $12.456 per share.
As of June 30, 2000, the Company had the following principal amount of debt
outstanding:

Loan payable - in default 14.5% per annum March 31, 2000 750,000

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company expects to continue to acquire companies and assets that can benefit
its business and subscriber base. Currently, ISN is reviewing potential
acquisition targets that could provide complementary games and contests as well
as new customers for the Company's existing games.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED) AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED).
Revenue. The Company generated revenue of $1,454,000 for the period ending
June 30, 2000 as compared to revenues of approximately $672,000 for the
period ending June 30, 1999. Approximately $404,000 of the increase in
revenues was attributable to the acquisitions of St. Clair during the last
month of the period ended June 30, 1999, and the acquisitions of Ultimate
Sports Publishing and Sportsbuff in late June 1999. The remaining growth in
revenue was attributable to sales generated by the increased sales staff.
Operating expenses before depreciation, amortization and other non-cash
charges: Total operating expenses before depreciation, amortization and other
non-cash charges were $2,184,000 as compared to $1,364,000 in the period
ended June 30, 1999, for an increase of $871,000. Approximately $673,000 of
this increase was attributable to the acquisitions of Ultimate Sports
Publishing, SportsBuff and St. Clair. The overall increase is described in
more detail below:
Prize commitments and other direct costs: Expenses associated with providing
prizes for contests and other direct costs increased to $424,000 from
approximately $241,000 in three month period ended June 30, 1999.
Approximately $202,000 of costs during the current period are the result of
direct costs associated with St. Clair's operations acquired during the
period. Excluding the additional cost associated with St. Clair, Prize
commitments and other direct costs decreased by 19,000. This reduction is
attributable to synergies realized from the acquisition of Sportsbuff,
Ultimate Sports and St. Clair. Prize commitments increased by $59,000 over
the comparative period, primarily due to the acquisitions of Sportsbuff,
which offers fixed prize contests throughout the period for the major sports
(Hockey and Baseball).
Salaries and benefits: Salaries increased by $306,000 to $692,000 from
$386,000 in the three month period ending June 30, 2000. These increases were
the result of additional personnel and staff, mainly from the acquisitions of
St. Clair, Ultimate Sports Publishing and SportsBuff, combined with the
hiring of additional sales, marketing and administrative staff during the
period to manage the growth of the Company. Total staff increased from 9
people in January, 1999 to 83 people by June 30, 2000.
Consulting Fees: Consulting fees increased by $14,000 to $234,000 from $220,000
in the comparative period due to financial services, certain game development,
web design and other services provided externally. Increases in consulting fees
were minimal as a result of additional hiring that reduced the need to obtain
services externally.
Advertising: Advertising expenses increased $11,000 to $99,000 from $88,000
in the comparative period. The increase is modest in relation to the increase
in revenue from the comparative period. This is mainly due to a shift in
advertising strategy to utilize the newspaper space used to promote our
contests to promote our Company, instead of other costly media.
General and administrative: General and administrative costs increased by
$217,000 to $590,000 from $373,000 in the comparative period. This change is
made up of the following fluctuations:
- Increase in general office expenses of $112,000 as a result of the
addition of offices in Toronto as well as staff and operations as a
result of the acquisitions of Ultimate Sports, SportsBuff and St.
Clair.
- Travel and other expenses decreased $113,000 to $73,000 as a result of
closing the Vancouver office and centralizing the executive office
activities in Toronto.
24
- Increase in legal and accounting fees of $136,000 as a result of costs
associated with the preparation of the Company's Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, documentation related to the
reverse stock split and documentation related to additional debt
financing received in the current period.
- Increase in occupancy and telephone costs of $83,000 to $132,000
compared to $49,000 for the period ending June 30, 1999. The increase
is due to the acquisition of Ultimate Sports, Sportsbuff and St. Clair
combined with the creation and substantial growth in the Toronto
offices.
Interest and bank charges increased by $141,000 to $145,000 as a result of fees
and interest on loans and convertible debt. There were no similar debt
instruments outstanding for the period ending June 30, 1999.
Amortization
The purchased intangibles and goodwill before amortization related to the
acquisitions of Sportsmark Group, Pickem Sports, Ultimate Sports Publishing,
SportsBuff, Sportsrocketravel, St. Clair and domain names totaled
$25,683,000. Amortization of purchased intangibles and goodwill for the
period ended June 30, 2000, was $3,116,000. These intangibles include
trademarks, software licenses, contractual rights and intellectual
properties. The Company is amortizing purchased intangibles and goodwill
related the acquisitions of Sportsmark Group, Pickem Sports, Ultimate Sports
Publishing, SportsBuff, Sportsrocketravel and domain names over 24 months.
The purchased intangibles related to the acquisition of St. Clair during the
period ending June 30, 2000 totaled $1,212,000. The Company is amortizing the
purchased intangibles related to St. Clair over 60 months which reflects the
average life of the contractual rights acquired through the transaction.
Depreciation was $42,000 for the period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to
$4,000 for the comparative period. The increase is due to the acquisition of
equipment.
The Company amortized $1,955,000 (1999 - $213,000) of costs related to stock
based compensation resulting from stock options granted to officers, employees
and directors. The compensation expense was calculated as the difference between
the option exercise price and the share price of the Company's common stock as
reported by the OTC/BB at the date of issuance. The options may be exercised at
prices between $2.40 to $42.00 and vest over periods ranging from 17 to 36
months. The Company is amortizing the expense relating to the options over their
vesting periods.
Net loss from operations. The Company experienced a loss of $6,754,000 after the
benefit of deferred taxes of $777,000 for the period ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to a loss of $2,205,000 for the period ended June 30, 1999. Loss per
share for the period ended June 30, 2000 was $(1.63) compared to $ (0.71) for
the period ended June 30, 1999.
Total Assets. The total assets of the Company as of June 30, 2000 totaled
$31,986,000 compared to $23,966,000 at June 30, 1999. The increase in total
assets was attributable to the increase in deferred charges as a result of the
shares issued to SportsLine and Labatt Brewing Company Limited for their
respective contracts, which resulted in a net increase in assets of $11,840,000.
Further increase in assets is a result of the pre-payment of $5,750,000 related
to the minimum royalty owing for the next two years under the terms of the
SportsLine agreement. As at June 30, 2000, $4,115,000 remained on the balance
sheet. In addition, purchased intangibles of $1,212,000 resulting from the
acquisition of St. Clair has impacted the assets of the Company compared to June
30, 1999. These increases are offset by operating losses and amortization costs
during the period.
