INTERNATIONAL MERCANTILE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
ORGANIZATION
International Mercantile Corporation (The Company) is a profit corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Missouri on March 10, 1971 as
International Mercantile Corporation (IMTL). On July 31, 1999, the Company
liquidated its' majority interest holdings in its' subsidiary, University
Mortgage, Inc., which represented the Company's operations, through a new
issuance of University Mortgage, Inc. stock to a related third party investor in
consideration of their capital investment in University Mortgage, Inc. The
result of this action left an OTC Bulletin Board publicly traded company with no
substantial assets or liabilities. On September 6, 1999, the Company merged with
Micromatix.com, Inc. (the predecessor company), a newly formed Delaware
corporation which maintained an Internet based personal computer manufacturing
business that sells build-to- order unbranded or "white box" PC systems and PC
related hardware throughout the United States to value added retailers and other
marketers of micro computer systems. Shareholders of the Predecessor Company
received 2,500 shares of the Company's stock for each share of the Predecessor
Company; a total of 2,500,000 shares issued, in exchange for 100% of the
outstanding stock of the Predecessor Company. The merger is being accounted for
as a capital transaction with no recognition of goodwill or other intangible
assets. The Company, however, has not completed the requisite articles of merger
and related documents, which are required to be filed with the applicable state
authorities. Subsequent to the transaction, the owners of the predecessor
company assumed the management of the Company doing business as Micromatix.net
and owned approximately 26.92% of the outstanding stock of the Company
representing 48.32% of the voting rights. Since this transaction is, in
substance, a recapitalization of Micromatix.com, Inc. (the Predecessor Company)
and not a business combination, pro forma information is not presented.
Accordingly, the historical data contained in the financial statements is that
of the Predecessor Company.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues are derived primarily from sales of build-to-order personal computers
and related PC hardware via the Company's business to business e:commerce.
Revenues related to these sales are recognized when a computer product is
shipped and invoiced.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists of component parts and work in process at period-end as all
finished products were shipped prior to June 30, 2000. The Company maintains a
perpetual inventory system and determines quantities by the average cost method.
Inventory is valued at the lower of actual cost or market, net of inventory
allowance.
F-7
INTERNATIONAL MERCANTILE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ADVERTISING EXPENSE
The Company recognizes advertising expenses in accordance with Statement of
Position ("SOP") 93-7 "Reporting on Advertising Costs." As such, the Company
expenses the costs of producing advertisements at the time production occurs,
and expenses the cost of communicating advertising in the period in which the
advertising space or airtime is used.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
range from three to five years. Costs for routine repairs and maintenance are
expensed as incurred and gains and losses on the disposal of assets are
recognized in the period such disposals occur.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use software are
capitalized during the application development stage and are being amortized
over three years.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Costs incurred to organize the Company are capitalized and reported on the
balance sheet as other assets. The costs are being amortized over a period of 5
years using the straight-line method.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company's marketable securities are comprised of equity and debt securities
and are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at
fair value, with the change in fair value during the period included in net
earnings. In the first quarter of the year 2000 the Company liquidated its
entire marketable trading securities portfolio.
WARRANTY RESERVE
The Company maintains a depot warranty on components sold and manufactured
systems for three years; the equivalent period of time that substantially all
components from supplier manufacturers are warranted. As the Company has not
established a history of warranty service, a warranty reserve of 1/2 of 1% of
sales has been recorded at June 30, 2000.
F-8
INTERNATIONAL MERCANTILE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INCOME TAXES
The Company files its tax return with the Internal Revenue Service as a C
Corporation. Applying statutory tax rates to future year's differences between
the tax bases and financial reporting amounts of assets and liabilities
recognizes deferred income taxes. No deferred tax asset/valuation allowance has
been recognized for the losses incurred to date, as it is not determinable that
the Company will realize any tax benefit from such losses. Loss carryforwards,
if any, expire fifteen years following the tax year-end in which they occur.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires that management make estimates and assumptions
that affect 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 revenues and expenses during the respective reporting
period. Actual results could vary from these estimates and assumptions.
CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit
accounts, the balances of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Additionally, the Company assumes that computer chip and memory availability
will remain constant. This assumption subjects the Company to concentrations of
risk should the availability of these items become uncertain in the future.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities effective for all fiscal quarters
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not anticipate
the impact of this pronouncement will be material. Further, the Company does not
believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards
will have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

INTERNATIONAL MERCANTILE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EARNINGS PER SHARE
As per Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings Per Share, standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share (EPS) applies to publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. It requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS
on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. In computing EPS as a
result of the reverse acquisition, the number of shares outstanding for the
period from September 2, 1999 until the date of the reverse acquisition,
September 6, 1999, is the number of shares issued by the Company to the
shareholders of the predecessor company. For the period September 6, 1999 to
December 31, 1999 the number of shares considered to be outstanding is computed
as actual number of shares of the Company outstanding during that period. The
average number of shares outstanding for the period September 2, 1999 to
December 31, 1999 has been computed by averaging these two amounts. Other
appropriate adjustments have been made to deal with changes in numbers of shares
issued during the period. Diluted EPS were computed as a result of the Company's
complex capital structure: 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common stock and
1,000,000 shares of Class B Common stock were authorized and unissued as of
December 31, 1999. The average number of shares outstanding for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 has been computed using actual numbers of shares of the
Company outstanding during that period.
2. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles the Company records
anticipated uncollectible amounts by creating an allowance account. Bad Debt
Expense is recognized using the Percentage of Sales method. The Company
recognized a Bad Debt Expense of $17,336 for the period ended December 31, 1999
and an additional $34,625 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In 1999 and
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 no actual receivables were directly
written off. As a result, the allowance account included on the balance sheet as
net of accounts receivables is $17,336 and $51,961 respectively at December 31,
1999 and June 30, 2000.

3. Related Party Transactions
The Company's financing during its development stage and during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 had been provided by interest bearing loans, non-interest
bearing loans and capital contributions to the Company by its shareholders and
unrelated third party investors. At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000 the
Company had liabilities to a major shareholder of $125,000 and $100,000
respectively in the form of an unsecured note payable bearing interest at 8% per
annum. The note calls for six annual principal installments of $25,000 plus
accrued interest. In December, 1999 and January, 2000 the Company paid the first
two annual principal installments of $25,000. The note was issued for the
purchase of machinery, office equipment and furniture from the shareholder.
Accrued interest on this note through December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000 was
$3,775 and $4,228 respectively.
A B securities, a shareholder of IMTL, acquired authorized, but unissued, shares
of University Mortgage, Inc. (UMI) diluting the voting and equity interest of
IMTL in UMI to less than 5%. The shares of UMI remaining after the dilution were
then exchanged in a stock for stock transaction for registered shares of VLDC
Technologies, Inc., a publicly traded company, trading under the symbol PCLO.
The investment is recorded at cost. On December 31, 1999 IMTL acquired 3,000,000
authorized but unissued shares of VLDC Technologies, Inc.'s restricted common
stock in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of IMTL restricted Class A common stock.
The investment is recorded at the fair market value of VLDC Technologies, Inc.
stock as of the date of the exchange.
At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000 the Company had outstanding a $571,609
note payable to a major stockholder due in one lump sum payment of principal and
interest on or before November 23, 2000. The note bears interest at a rate of 8%
per annum, and is unsecured.
In addition, shareholders' contribution amounts totaling $3,028,766 and
$3,744,479 as of December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000 respectively are recorded
as par value class A and class B common stock, par value preferred series 2
stock and as additional paid in capital.
The Company owed $261,322 to an officer/director for monies advanced as of
December 31, 1999. As of June 30, 2000 the liability has been reduced to
$39,573. The advance includes interest at 14% per annum and is due on demand.

group. The factoring arrangement is in the form of a one-year revolving line of
credit, which allows for the drawing of funds by the Company in an amount equal
to 75% of the purchase orders received from the marketing group. The line of
credit is capped at $750,000 representing up to $1,000,000

of purchase orders. The financing calls for the payment of 3 points per month on
open invoices and is secured by an assignment of the underlying receivable,
acquired inventory related to the contract, and 1,500,000 shares of the
Company's Class A common stock. The Company issued 650,000 shares to the lender
as a fee for securing the financing. For the period ended June 30, 2000 the
Company has accrued or paid $54,605 in financing costs related to the line of
credit.
11. Contingencies
The Company's management has confirmed that as of the date of the financial
statements the Company is not involved in any lawsuits nor is there any pending

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements.
For this purpose, any statements contained in it that are not statements of
historical fact should be regarded as forward-looking statements. For example,
the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," and "expects" are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors
that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those
indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include those shown
at the end of this section under the caption "Certain Factors That May Affect
Future Results."
The following discussion for the Company's results of operations and
financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial
Statements listed in Part I, Item 1 and the Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in
this Form 10-QSB, and the Company's Audited Financial Statements and the Notes
thereto appearing in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
(a.) Results of Operations
For the period of operations since inception on 9/2/99 and ending 12/31/99,
our Company posted total sales of $1,465,294. Total sales for the six months
ended 6/30/00 were $4,045,913. While sales for the first quarter were strong,
sales for the second quarter were subject to a flattening due to market
conditions that were reflected throughout the technology industry as a whole.
Average monthly sales for the six months ended 6/30/00 increased 38% over the
average monthly sales for the fourth quarter of 1999. We were able to realize
this degree of growth due to the groundwork we established during the first
quarter of our operations. Our management recruited top sales personnel, with
significant customer bases, which reflect our goals in both our target markets
and reseller qualifications. As a result of hiring these salespersons, we
obtained an immediate clientele with existing purchasing power, and increased
sales began to materialize. Since our manufacturing, warehouse facility,
administration, technical support and purchasing departments are fully staffed
with quality personnel, we were able to respond and fulfill the needs of our
customers. As a result of our proactive outlook, our SG&A for the quarter ended
12/31/99 is higher than would occur under normal business conditions given the
level of sales generated. The SG&A of $502,065, as a percentage of sales for the
period since inception on 9/2/99 and ending 12/31/99 was 35%. This is a
reflection of the quality of the personnel and our Company's positioning to
allow it to handle the higher sales volume once it is realized. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, SG&A is $1,422,573, or again, 35% of sales.
In the second quarter of 2000, management began taking measures to reduce
the SG&A as a pro-active correction should the market conditions continue for
any length of time.
The industry trends which effected the company's sales also effects our
customer's ability to pay their balances to us in a timely manner. While the
majority of our customers are current and paying timely, our largest customer
has slowed its payment commitments to us, which affects our ability to provide
inventory to support current sales volumes. Management is actively working with
this customer to bring them more in line with the terms of our arrangement with
them, and believes that the account will be rectified shortly.
(b) Plan of Operation
Our primary emphasis through December 31, 1999 was placed upon our
capitalization, the establishment of our website, our internal infrastructure,
our production lines and the development of our marketing team. During the six
months ended June 30, 2000, this emphasis, while continuing to be of importance
to the growth of the company, shifted more to sales and production, which we
expect to continue to be our emphasis throughout the remainder of the year 2000
so that we can increase sales by capturing a larger percentage of the growth in
the white box market. Based upon our current SG&A rate, we believe that sales
revenue of $2.0 million per month, at a gross margin of 10%, is our Company's
break even level.
F-17
Management believes that this sales revenue is achievable. Our growth is
projected to result from an increase in sales equal to or greater than 50% each
quarter, which would annualize to approximately $18 million in sales.
Potentially, should all of the contracts that we are currently negotiating
materialize, annual sales could exceed $40 million for the calendar year 2000.
Coinciding with this anticipated growth is the anticipated need for additional
financing. The company currently has utilized a majority of a $750,000 line of
credit to the Company in the form of a factoring arrangement, secured by (i) an
assignment of the underlying receivable, (ii) acquired inventory related to the
receivable, and (iii) 1,500,000 shares of the Company's Class "A" common stock.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, sales and production were in line with our
capital limitations. With our projected increase in capital described below, the
company believes that it will attain the goals established.
The company has also entered into a funding arrangement which would provide
$3,000,000 in operating capital over the course of the next year in exchange for
class A common stock as outlined in the financial statements. This arrangement
is subject to an SB-2 registration, which should be completed prior to August
15, 2000.
In addition, future growth strategies may include strategic acquisitions
should opportunities arise which would not jeopardize current operations. This
anticipated growth, along with the growth already experienced, has and will
strain our financial and operational resources. Additional funding is necessary
to achieve the results projected. Multiple funding avenues are currently being
explored to provide the resources needed to fund the growth while allowing our
Company to maintain debt at a manageable level for our cash flow.
Marketing
We currently have a sales force consisting of six account executives, with
varying degrees of experience, but all with knowledge of computers essential to
assisting customers in configuring their orders optimally. In addition, we have
an account executive specializing in government sales and marketing, along with
the management of our strategic corporate accounts (Fortune 500). Our website
allows our customers and potential customers to view our specials and to apply
for active account status. In the year 2000, we have plans to upgrade our
website to allow our customers to custom configure their orders online, with
real-time interaction with our inventory software to allow them to ascertain
availability of product, and an order tracking function which will allow the
customer to monitor their orders progress through production. We anticipate that
this upgrade will cost approximately $125,000. Our sales department is currently
faxing to all current customers and potential customers in our extensive
database our specials on a weekly basis. Additionally, we have tele-marketers
calling and updating our database of prospective customers on a daily basis. We
expect that we will need to hire a minimum of 5 additional sales persons in
order for us to attain our projected sales goals.
Production
Our production department is designed for flexibility and staffed with
skilled assemblers and system integration technicians. Small to medium quantity
orders can be easily produced on our existing custom configuration line. In
addition, we have the capability, at very short notice, of activating an
assembly line of skilled workers for large production builds. As these contracts
increase in consistency and quantity, these additional workers will be utilized
on a permanent basis. Our production facility has the capacity to add additional
assembly lines on an as needed basis. We have completed the required independent
audit for ISO 9002 certification and we were certified on April 26, 2000. The
ISO 9002 certification is an internationally accredited standard, which
guarantees that our product is processed to the highest quality
F-18
standards. In addition, it allows our Company to participate in and be awarded
state and federal government contracts.
Inventory
We manage the quantity and quality of our component inventory through our
experienced purchasing personnel and warehousing policy and procedures. We
strive to maximize our responsiveness to customer requirements while optimizing
inventory turns. Inventory management is critical to the success of our
business. Our strategy is to focus on products with high turnover ratios to
reduce exposure to product obsolescence, changing consumer demands and declines
in market prices, while still fulfilling the needs of our customers. Our
software program facilitates the control of purchasing, inventory, and accounts
payable. Each sales representative has available real-time data with respect to
our inventory levels. We believe that we are able to take advantage of synergies
and efficiencies arising out of the combination of system assembly and inventory
warehousing in a single facility.
Vendor Relations
Our Company has accounts with numerous suppliers that provide us with the
components required to custom configure systems for our customers. Pricing and
availability primarily govern our purchasing decisions. We currently do not have
any guarantees to purchase from specified vendors for any parts. Conversely, we
also do not have any contracts that require any vendor to segregate and maintain
inventory for our consumption. As a result, we are at the mercy of market
conditions to obtain products at reasonable prices that allow us to operate
profitably. Should market conditions experience any shortages or price hikes, we
would be subject to such conditions and would be unable to compete with other
companies with supplier contracts.
In the second quarter we were extended additional credit by many of our
vendors, or have made arrangements to repay debts in installments until such
time as the company can complete it's arrangements for additional funding.
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results
The white box PC industry is highly competitive. Competition is largely
based on price, quality, range of service offered, shipping capabilities,
customer service, and product availability. Many of our competitors are larger,
more established, and have greater name recognition and financial and marketing
resources than our Company. As a result, we could potentially experience
downward pricing pressure and increased competition, which would drive down our
revenues by either forcing a cut in our sales or in our prices. There is always
the risk of general market down turn, which could adversely impact our revenues
and our growth.
We are considered a start-up company and have no significant operating
history as Micromatix.net. We have not generated significant revenue to date to
support operations on an ongoing basis. We cannot assure that we will achieve
sufficient revenues to offset our anticipated operating costs. Our viability,
profitability and growth depend upon our meeting our sales goals and our
attaining sufficient financing to purchase inventory at competitive prices. We
cannot assure that we will be able to generate revenues or ever achieve
profitable operations.
We have no significant capital. We have required significant capital to
develop our business and to date all of our costs have been funded via sales of
common stock and loans. We will continue
F-19
to require significant funds as we grow. We are currently generating limited
revenue from our operations. Other than as discussed elsewhere herein, we have
no current arrangements in place with respect to sources of additional
financing. If we have to arrange for financing to further the development of our
business, we cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable
terms or at all. Our inability to obtain additional financing, when needed,
would have a material adverse effect on us, including possibly requiring us to
curtail or cease our operations.
Demand and market acceptance for white box PC systems are subject to a high
level of uncertainty. We cannot assure that widespread acceptance of white box
PC systems, or our products in particular, will occur. We will rely on VAR's who
utilize white box PC systems to purchase our products. In order for us to be
successful, these VAR's must perceive us as their partner, not their competitor.
Further, issues concerning the reliability, cost and quality of white box PC
systems may affect our market. We cannot assure that VAR's will view us as
"partners" and utilize our products. If our products do not achieve market
acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected.
