NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1: Unaudited Financial Information The unaudited condensed financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies in its annual Form 10-KSB report dated March 31, 2002 and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003. Note 2: Related Party Transactions During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued 240,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $5,600, to an officer in lieu of a salary payment. The Company also accrued, but did not pay, the officer $45,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. In addition, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock, valued at $400, to an employee in lieu of a severance payment. Also, the Company issued a Director of the Company 100,000 shares of common stock, valued at $4,000, as compensation in lieu of Director's fees. For financial accounting purposes, the Company valued the common stock transactions based on the OTCBB quoted market price. At March 31, 2002, the Company owed an officer $79,523 for expenses paid on behalf of the Company. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, the officer paid additional expenses on behalf of the Company totaling $26,528 and the Company repaid the officer $33,461. The remaining balance owed to the officer at December 31, 2002, totaling $72,590, is included in the accompanying condensed financial statements as indebtedness to related party. In June 2002, the Company issued 100 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and 500,000 shares of common stock, respectively, to an officer in exchange for the extinguishment of notes payable totaling $500,000 and accrued interest payable on the notes totaling $25,000. In December 2002, the Company issued the officer 200,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the extinguishment of an additional $4,000 of accrued interest. The 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into the number of shares of common stock sufficient to represent 40 percent of the fully diluted shares outstanding after their issuance. The Series A Preferred Stock pays eight percent dividends. The dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly. The Series A Preferred Stock carries a liquidating preference, over all other classes of stock, equal to the amount paid for the stock plus any unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock provides for voting rights on an "as converted to common stock" basis. In June 2002, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire a private company. However, no definitive agreement was executed. Since the signing of the letter of intent, the president of the Company has been engaged in a due diligence evaluation of the target company. In addition, the president of the Company has been assisting the target company with financing matters. The accompanying financial statements include the travel and other out-of-pocket costs of the Company's president to conduct the due diligence evaluation. In January 2003, the parties agreed to cancel the letter of intent and terminate their relationship. -7- XDOGS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) The Board of Directors has the authority to issue, at any time or from time to time, up to 1 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The voting rights and such designations, preferences, limitations and special rights are, subject to terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, determined by the Board of Directors. Note 3: Income Taxes The Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The Company incurred net operating losses during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 resulting in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for; therefore, the net benefit and expense resulted in $-0- income taxes. Note 4: Debt Settlements During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company settled various payables and accruals for less than the historic value of the liabilities. As a result of these settlements, the Company recognized a gain totaling $189,950, which is included in the accompanying condensed financial statements as Gain on Debt Settlements. Note 5: Shareholders' Deficit During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued consultants 830,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $38,500, in exchange for various services. For financial accounting purposes, the Company valued the common stock transactions based on the OTCBB quoted market price. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $15,000, to its attorney. For financial accounting purposes, the Company valued the common stock transactions based on the OTCBB quoted market price. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold 2,162,500 shares of its common stock for $104,075. -8- XDOGS, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This report contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations. They are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe", "expect", "intend", "anticipate", "estimate", "project" or similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, events or results and involve potential risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, actual performance, events or results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, legislative and regulatory changes, the unavailability of equity and debt financing, unanticipated costs associated with our potential acquisitions, expanding a new line of business, ability to meet competition, loss of existing key personnel, ability to hire and retain future personnel, our failure to manage our growth effectively and the other risks identified in this filing or our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PLAN OF OPERATION Limited or No Real Operations As of December 31, 2002, we had limited operations with no revenues from operations. However, we realized a small profit by settling various payables and accruals for less than historic value of the liabilities. In our current form, we expect to continue to generate significant losses and without additional funding through private placements of our common stock, which cannot be guaranteed, it is highly unlikely that we can continue to operate. As a result, we have been focusing all of our efforts on identifying an acquisition target to enhance shareholder value. Acquisition Strategy On June 18, 2002, we filed a Form 8-K disclosing that on June 11, 2002, we signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire bigTime sports apparel, inc., an Oklahoma corporation ("bigTime"). The proposed acquisition was subject to completion of due diligence review by us, negotiation and execution of a definitive transaction agreement, a determination by our independent accountants that bigTime's financial statements were auditable for SEC financial reporting compliance purposes and approvals of the respective boards of directors of each company and the shareholders of bigTime. In January 2003, the parties agreed to cancel the letter of intent and terminate the proposed acquisition. -10- Management has resumed its search for a satisfactory acquisition and is devoting all of its time and resources to that goal. There can be no assurance that we will find a satisfactory acquisition candidate or consummate a transaction, or if consummated, that the combined operations will be successful or profitable. Financing Activities We have most recently been funding our obligations through the issuance of our common stock for services rendered or for cash in private placements. We may seek additional funds in the private or public equity or debt markets in order to execute its plan or operation and business strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract capital or obtain such financing when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, in which case our ability to execute our business strategy will be impaired and we may need to cease operations. Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 As of December 31, 2002, we had current assets of $208, total assets of $5,233 and total current liabilities of $1,126,016. We had no net sales for this period. During this period, our total expenses were $65,349, compared to $133,780 for the same period last year. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $55,258, compared to $133,191 for the same period last year, and our interest expense was $10,091, compared to $24,646 for the same period last year. We had net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 of $126,271 and a basic and diluted income of $0.01 per common share. The net income was entirely an one-time result of settling various payables and accruals for less than the historic value of the liabilities. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have very little cash. Our cash and cash equivalents were $208 on December 30, 2002, compared to no cash on December 30, 2001. As a result of having little cash, we met our liquidity needs through the issuance of our common shares for cash or for services rendered. For the nine months ended December 30, 2002, we issued 1,480,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $63,500, for consultant and legal services and compensation, and sold 2,162,500 shares of common stock for $104,075. In addition we issued 100 shares of preferred stock valued at $500,000 and 700,000 shares of common stock valued at $29,000 in exchange for related party notes and related accrued interest. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, we used no cash in investing activities. Our financing activities for this period provided cash of $104,075 as compared to $110,000 for the same period in 2001. We need to raise additional capital during the coming fiscal year, but currently have not located additional funding. Our ability to continue operations is highly dependent upon our ability to obtain immediate additional financing, or generate revenues from a combined operation with an acquisition candidate, none of which can be guaranteed. Unless additional funding is located, it is highly unlikely that we can continue to operate. Ultimately, our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from a combined operation with one of our acquisition candidates and to achieve profitability, which is dependent upon a number of factors, including the sustained profitability of the operations of these candidates. There is no assurance that even with adequate financing or combined operations, we will generate revenues and be profitable. -11- In order to make it possible to issue additional securities to raise future capital and obtain the services of third parties and our officers, we plan to seek an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of capital stock that we may issue. We cannot assure that the amendment will be approved by our stockholders or that we will be able to obtain any additional capital or services in exchange for our securities. PART I - ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, Kent Rodriguez, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15b under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on his review of our disclosure controls and procedures, Mr. Rodriguez has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. Further, there were no significant changes in the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls after the evaluation date and the date of this report. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Mr. Henry Furst filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging that we breached our contractual obligations to him and seeking $144,000 in damages. The parties subsequently negotiated a settlement whereby we agreed to pay Mr. Furst $94,000 in installments and executed a confession of judgment in favor of Mr. Furst for that amount. We failed to pay Mr. Furst in accordance with this settlement agreement. In June 2002, pursuant to an agreement, we agreed with Mr. Furst to pay him $14,500 on June 13, 2002 in satisfaction of his judgment against us. We have not made this payment yet. On or about March 14, 2000, our former advisory consultant, Stephen Carlson, loaned us $100,000. We executed a note in favor of Mr. Carlson that required payment in full on December 31, 2000. We are in default and Mr. Carlson on March 9, 2001, initiated a legal action against us in the District Court of Hennepin County to collect the loan. We also granted to Mr. Carlson options to purchase 60,000 shares of Common Stock, all of which are not-in-the money. In November 2001, we entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Carlson whereby we agreed to pay him $125,000 over time and on or before June 30, 2002 and secured our obligation with a mortgage on our President's personal residence. To date, we have paid Mr. Carlson $40,000 and own him $85,000. If we successfully raise additional capital, we intend to use available proceeds to retire the debt secured by our President's residence. In October 2001, Gage Marketing Services filed an action against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging nonpayment for services. Pursuant to a settlement agreement in January 2002, we agreed to pay Gage Marketing Services $4,000 in February 2002 to settle this dispute. We have not made this payment yet. We also have various matters pending alleging nonpayment for services and aggregating not more than $25,000. -12- ITEM 2.- CHANGES IN SECURITIES a None. b. None. c. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. During the three months ended December 31, 2002, we issued an aggregate of 30,000 shares of our Common Stock to four consultants, and 200,000 shares of our Common Stock to our President, in consideration of $5,500 of services rendered in the aggregate to us. We also issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to four investors for $40,000. We further issued 200,000 shares of our Common Stock to an affiliate of our President as payment for $4,000 of accrued interest. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of all of these securities. d. None. ITEM 3. - DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES. None.
