NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31,2003 Company History - --------------- VHS Network, Inc. (the "Company" or "VHSN") was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 18, 1995, as Ronden Vending Corp. on December 24, 1996, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary called Ronden Acquisition, Inc. a Florida corporation. Ronden Acquisition Inc., then merged with Video Home Shopping, Inc. (a Tennessee corporation), and Ronden Acquisition, Inc., was the surviving Florida Corporation. In 1996, Video Home Shopping, Inc. was a network marketing and distribution company which offered a wide range of products and services to consumers through the medium of video tape. After the merger, however, the Company decided not to continue with the network marketing and distribution operations of Video Home Shopping, Inc. of Tennessee. On January 9,1997, articles of merger were filed for the Company as the surviving corporation of a merger between the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ronden Acquisitions, Inc. This completed the forward triangular merger between Video Home Shopping, Inc. Ronden Acquisitions, Inc. and the Company. On January 9, 1997, articles of amendment were filed to change the name of the Company from Ronden Vending Corp. to VHS Network, Inc. On April 9, 1997, the Company incorporated VHS Acquisitions, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary. In April 1997, the Company was restructured by way of a reverse take-over involving its wholly owned subsidiary, VHS Acquisitions, Inc. a Florida company, and VHS Network, Inc., a Manitoba, Canada controlled private corporation. On April 12, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of China- eMall Corporation, an Ontario private company. This represents a 100% voting interest in China-eMall Corporation. On December 1, 2001 the Company acquired all the outstanding common shares of TrueNet Enterprise Inc., an Ontario private company. 1. OPERATIONS OPERATIONS The Company is continuing to reposition itself to identify market opportunities in the United States, Canada, China and abroad in Internet and electronic commerce interactive media, and SmartCard loyalty marketing. The Company will operate and/or develop these lines as well as seek other joint ventures and alliances with third parties. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the united states. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation - --------------------- These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. 7 The Company has suffered operating losses during the current year and has a negative working capital and a net capital deficiency that raises doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. Management expects that the Company will be in a position to obtain the working capital financing required to support its business operations. The Company's continued existence as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain and maintain profitable operations and to obtain the necessary financing.. Principals Of Consolidation - --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and all of its subsidiary companies. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Cash And Cash Equivalents - ------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash deposited with financial institutions, including money market accounts, and commercial paper purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Concentration Of Cash - --------------------- The company at times maintains cash balances in accounts that are not fully federally insured. Uninsured balances as of March 31,2003 were nil. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out method) or market. Property And Equipment - ---------------------- Property and equipment are stated at cost or, in the case of leased assets under capital leases, at the present value of the future lease payments at inception of the lease. Major improvements that materially extend the useful life of property are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of various assets. Leasehold improvements and leased assets under capital leases are amortized over the life of the asset or the period of the respective lease using the straight-line method, whichever is the shortest. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are changed to expense as incurred. Stock-Based Compensation - ------------------------ The company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan based on Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company has determined that it will not change to the fair value method and will continue to use APB Opinion No. 25 for measurement and recognition of any expense related to employee stock based transactions. Income Taxes - ------------ The company accounts for the income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of deferred tax assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The 8 deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Foreign Currency Translation - ---------------------------- Transactions are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates in effect at the time the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in the operating results for the year. Revenue - ------- Sales are recorded for products upon shipment of product to customers and transfer of title under standard commercial terms. Comprehensive Income - -------------------- In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a fell set of financial statements. Comprehensive income is presented in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and consists of net income and unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale marketable securities; foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in market value of future contracts that qualify as a hedge; and negative equity adjustments recognized in accordance with SFAS 87. SFAS No. 130 requires only additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. The elements of comprehensive income for the three-month, six-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, and 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2001 were minimal. Income (Loss) Per Common Share - ------------------------------ Income (loss) per common share is computed on the weighted average number of common or common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. Basic Earnings-Per-Share ("EPS") is computed as net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders' divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issue able through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities when the effect would be dilutive. Long-Lived Assets - ----------------- In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of assets to be held and used may not be recoverable. Use Of Estimates - ---------------- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates. Advertising Costs - ----------------- The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising costs for the three-month period ending March 31, 2003 and for the year ending December 31, 2002 9 Segments Of An Enterprise And Related Information - ------------------------------------------------- The Company follows SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires that public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about it's reportable operating segments on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. Currently, the Company operates in only one segment. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain amounts in the 2002 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - ----------------------------------------- In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SAFS No. 133 requires recognition of all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities in consolidated balance sheets at fair value and determines the method(s) of gain/loss recognition. The FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB statement No.133" in June 1999 to defer the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not have derivative instruments and does not conduct hedging activities. 3. INVENTORIES On April 29, 1998, the Company acquired approximately 32,000 sets of printed art reproductions. Each set consists of four full-color prints from "The Andover Series" by artist Jim Perleberg. Each image has a title narrative printed in the margin and is re-signed, in the plate, by the artist. The Company unsuccessfully offered these prints for sale through its own web site and other internet web sites. As the prints did not sell, the company wrote off the inventory at year end. 4. INCOME TAXES No provision for federal and state taxes has been recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the year ended December 31, 2002, since the Company incurred net operating losses for these periods. 5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS GroupMark Canada Limited - ------------------------ In 1997, the Company entered into a management service with Groupmark Canada Limited ("Groupmark"), of which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the sole shareholder. Under this agreement, Groupmark provides the Company all management, daily administrative functions, financial and business advisory services. Groupmark was also contracted to assist in the technological development of the "SmartCARD." Contractually, charges for these services are not to exceed $56,000 per month. For the three month period ending March 31 2003 and 2002, the company incurred management fees of $30,000 and $60,000, respectively. Notes payables due to related parties are payable to a private company which are owned by a shareholder who is an officer and director of the Company. The amounts payable are non-interest bearing and have no specified terms of repayment. 10 Amounts due Groupmark pursuant to this management service agreement and other borrowings as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002 are $614,365 and $583,765 respectively. Groupmark has the option to accept payment by way of the company's common stock at fair market value in lieu of cash. 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal - ----- The Company is not currently aware of any legal proceeding or claims that the Company believes will have individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Video Home Shopping, Inc., a Tennessee Corporation - -------------------------------------------------- The Company has recorded a $350,000 liability for loss contingencies. This reserve was established as a result of a potential liability of the Company to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a result of actions by the former principal of Video Home Shopping Inc., which has lead to an investigation by the IRS. The Company has contacted the IRS for information and has no indication that the investigation concerns the Company directly. Management, nevertheless, believes that said IRS investigation may relate, in part, to unpaid Federal Withholding taxes Social Security and Medicare taxes, employer's taxes, and other payroll taxes and out of prudence, the Company has elected to provide a reserve of $350,000 to provide for the possibility of such liability to the IRS. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. General - ------- The information in this section should be read together with the consolidated, unaudited, interim financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. These interim financial statements do not contain all disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial statements. The significant accounting policies follow that of the most recently reported annual financial statements. VHSN's goals and objectives are centered on the ability to identify market opportunities in the United States, Canada and abroad in internet and interactive media e-commerce and smartCARD loyalty marketing. It is at the same time investigating companies from which it can acquire technology with proven financial performance, where joint ventures or acquisitions may also be possible. Operations - ---------- Results For Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 - --------------------------------------------- For the three months ended March 31, 2003 we had no revenues compared to $19,997 for the same period in 2002. Operating Expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2003 were $30,600 as compared to Operating Expense of $174,902 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. All non-essential expenses have been eliminated in an effort to reduce operating losses 11 Amounts due to GroupMark Canada Limited as at March 31, 2003 were $614,365 and a note payable of $ 182,027, for a total of $796,392. This compares with advances of $583,765 and a note payable of $182,027 for a total of $765,792. for the corresponding period in 2002. Liquidity And Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 were $NIL as a result of no activity in the company's internet and technologies ventures. The ability of VHSN to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to increase sales, obtain capital funding and seek other joint ventures and alliances with third parties. Changes In Financial Position - ----------------------------- Total liabilities increased to $1,393,147 on March 31, 2003 from $1,362,547 on December 31,2003 as management sought new joint ventures and alliances with third parties. Shareholders' equity decreased from ($1,362,547) on December 31,2002 to ($1,393,147) during the first quarter of 2003. ITEM 3. CONTROLS & PROCEEDURES Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Proceedures - ------------------------------------------------- The Company maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures with the assistance and participation of other members of management. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Changes In Internal Controls - ---------------------------- The company has not made any significant changes to its internal controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date. The company has not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses or other factors that could significantly affect these controls, and therefore, no corrective action was taken. 12 PART 11 OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
