Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 (Expressed in U.S. dollars) (Unaudited) ================================================================================ 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of E-Trend Networks, Inc. ("E-Trend" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, including all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the interim period. The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, there have been no changes to the accounting policies as detailed in the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2000 during the interim periods presented. As a result, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2000. 2. ACQUISITION: Effective February 21, 2001 an arrangement was completed between E-Trend Networks, Inc. and Cool Entertainment, Inc. ("Cool") whereby the shareholders of E-Trend Networks, Inc. exchanged all of their common shares for 4,441,867 common shares of Cool. Following the acquisition the former shareholders of E-Trend Networks, Inc. held a majority of the total issued and outstanding common shares of Cool; E-Trend Networks, Inc. was thereby deemed to be the acquiror. Accordingly, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse-take-over using the purchase method whereby the assets and liabilities of Cool have been recorded at their fair market values and operating results have been included in the Company's financial statements from the effective date of purchase. The fair value of the net assets acquired is equal to their book values. The excess of $300,200 of the consideration given over the net assets acquired has been recognized as a capital transaction and charged directly to the deficit. 7 E-TREND NETWORKS, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION This Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) focuses on key statistics from the consolidated financial statements of E-Trend for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2001, and pertains to known risks and uncertainties relating to its businesses. This MD&A should not be considered all-inclusive, as it excludes changes that may occur in general economic, political and environmental conditions. This MD&A of the financial condition and results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of E-Trend. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The company is considered to be in the early stages of implementing its business plan, since it has not generated significant revenues and is continuing to develop its business, particularly the Web-based site that is currently in its initial customer acquisition phase. The site (EntertainMe.com) and traditional distribution via Langara Distribution Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of E-Trend, will be the engine that drives future growth. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased approximately $49,188 over the previous quarter and $298,570 over the comparable quarter of the previous fiscal year. Similarly, sales of the six months ended March 31, 2001 increased 391% from the previous fiscal year, since commercial launch of the company's retail web sites did not take place until October 2000. The company notes increased traffic on the website, as E-Trend increases its marketing initiatives affiliations with other sites. Gross margins decreased to 9.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 11.2% for the six-month period, from 26.8% for fiscal 2000 periods because of a price increase from the company's suppliers at the beginning of the quarter that was not passed on to customers until close to the end of the quarter. Operating and development costs continue to rise because of the need to take on the services of an external contractor to complete the website design and testing. These costs, of approximately $32,000 per month, will be eliminated at the end of June 2001. Net loss for the quarter was $397,967, compared to $415,442 for the previous quarter and $12,973 for the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. The net loss for the six-month period increased to $813,409 from $306,969 from fiscal 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 2001, the company had a working capital surplus of $793,940 compared to a surplus of $1,908,174 at September 30, 2000. To date, virtually all of the company's resources have been provided from the sale of common stock. At the current rate of expenditure, additional funds from the sale of common stock or debt will have to be secured to enable the company to continue to operate. BUSINESS RISKS AND MANAGEMENT The e-commerce sales and distribution of filmed entertainment, video games and music is very competitive. E-Trend faces a number of competitors, with competition existing on a global basis. The main competitive factors are availability, price and service. 11 Management continues to review and assess its competitors, and is continually vigilant for industry trends. To be successful, E-Trend must increase sales. To do this, it must rely on working capital and outside sources of capital to finance current operations and new marketing initiatives designed to drive additional traffic. THE FUTURE The E-Trend Board of Directors and management are confident that the company is on the right track for significant gains in the future. The news media has been rife with reports of e-commerce failures, among them many of E-Trend's competitors. However, overall internet sales continue to increase as consumers become more comfortable with the security of the systems. E-Trend continues to believe that its strategy of being a `second tier' online company will allow it to take advantage of the tremendous number of online purchases in its product categories - especially as its first-mover competition continues to experience financial trouble. E-Trend will continue to seek strategic alliances and acquisitions that will complement its existing business and overall corporate strategy as expressed in its business plan. E-Trend is poised to implement key strategic initiatives that will include: o increasing the number of music titles carried in Langara's inventory, o adding DVD and key VHS titles to the Langara product mix, o amending movie purchasing agreements to reduce product cost, o improving the data model and overall scalability of the e-commerce engine, o improving site capacity to seamlessly manage the planned increase in site traffic and sales volumes, o merging the company's three internet sites (MovieSource.com, VHQMusic.com and EntertainMe.com) into one brandable entertainment- focused supersite, o initiating new online marketing campaigns, o implementing new software to enable seamless B2B2C (Business to Business to Consumer) applications, o obtaining new equity capital, and o adding strategic alliances to expand the reach of entertainment products.
