EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF BRIGHTCUBE, INC. AND EXTREME VELOCITY GROUP, INC. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Extreme Velocity Group, Inc. (the Company) as of December 20, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000 and the period from July 1, 1999 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform our audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Extreme Velocity Group, Inc. as of December 20, 2000, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000 and the period from July 1, 1999 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,458,500 as of December 20, 2000 and incurred a net loss of $3,124,100 for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000. Additionally, the Company has negative working capital of $1,803,200 as of December 20, 2000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ BDO Seidman, LLP San Francisco, California March 2, 2001 6 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ EXTREME VELOCITY GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES THE COMPANY Extreme Velocity Group, Inc. ("EVG"), formerly Frameyourart.com, a California corporation commenced operations on July 1, 1999 and was incorporated on March 6, 2000. EVG provides Internet and digital imaging services and solutions to the art market. EVG's original focus was on developing its off-line subscription based network of frame shops. EVG provides this network marketing support and Internet solutions. In addition, EVG has expanded its offerings to include other business-to-business art market websites and a proprietary line of digital paper and ink. The digital paper was developed by Advanced Media Products, Inc. ("AMP"). AMP was incorporated on November 24, 1999 as a separate California corporation. Operations did not commence until January of 2000. Al Marco, the majority owner of EVG, is also the majority owner of Marco Fine Arts ("MFA"), a company which provided a majority of the loans and capital contributions to EVG and AMP since their commencement of operations (Notes 6 and 10). On November 2, 2000, EVG issued 52 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of AMP in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of AMP. Due to the commonality of ownership, management and operations of the two companies, the transaction has been accounted for as a combination of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of AMP and EVG have been presented as if the companies had been merged for all periods presented. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Any reference herein to "the Company" includes EVG and AMP. Separate results of operations for the companies are as follows: 2000 EVG AMP CONSOLIDATED Revenues $ 873,900 $ 492,400 $ 1,366,300 Net loss (2,579,700) (544,400) (3,124,100) 1999 EVG AMP CONSOLIDATED Revenues $ - $ - $ - Net loss (334,400) - (334,400) 11 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,458,500 as of December 20, 2000 and incurred a net loss of $3,124,100 for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000. Additionally, the Company has negative working capital of $1,803,200 as of December 20, 2000. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company is actively marketing its existing and new products, which it believes will ultimately lead to profitable operations. Management believes that after its acquisition by BrightCube, Inc. (Note 12), its available funds will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures and business operations through August 2001. However, no assurances can be given that these available funds will meet the Company's cash requirements in the future. After August 2001 the Company may need to seek additional funding. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company grants credit to its customers after undertaking an investigation of credit risk for all significant amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for estimated credit losses at a level deemed appropriate to adequately provide for known and inherent risks related to such amounts. The allowance is based on reviews of loss, adjustments history, current economic conditions and other factors that deserve recognition in estimating potential losses. While management uses the best information available in making its determination, the ultimate recovery of recorded accounts receivable is also dependent upon future economic and other conditions that may be beyond management's control. INVENTORY Inventory, consisting primarily of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. 12 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to five years. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets, consisting of an Internet domain name and a trade name, are included in Other Assets and stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed by using the straight-line method over an estimated life of three years. The net book value of these intangible assets at December 20, 2000 was $47,400, net of accumulated amortization of $2,600. LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company writes the asset down to its estimated fair value. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE The carrying amount of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. SHORT-TERM DEBT The fair value of short-term debt approximates cost because of the short period of time to maturity and comparability to interest rates that are available to the Company for loans with similar terms and remaining maturities. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONCENTRATION The Company's revenues are derived principally from the sale of subscriptions to its dealer network and the sale of digital paper and ink. Subscription revenues are derived from numerous customers located principally in metropolitan areas throughout the United States and billed to credit cards on a monthly basis. Generally the credit cards are billed at the end of a month of service. Therefore, the revenue is considered fully earned and no deferred revenue is recognized. The Company originally offered two plans for subscriptions; monthly billings and a year prepaid. The number of prepaid yearly subscriptions was very small with the vast majority of subscribers electing the monthly billings. Product revenue from the sale of digital paper and ink are recognized upon shipment, provided no significant obligations remain and collectibility is likely. For the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000, the Company had three customers that comprised 50%, 15% and 10% of total AMP sales (18%, 5% and 4% of total consolidated revenues). Included in accounts receivable at December 20, 2000 is $1,100 and $3,700 due from two of these customers. 13 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ ADVERTISING The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred, except for certain promotional art prints which are capitalized and amortized over the promotional period (generally less than one year). Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 20, 2000 are promotional art prints totaling $100,000. Advertising costs for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000 and the period from July 1, 1999 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 1999 aggregated $1,772,400 and $99,100, respectively. INCOME TAXES The Company is recognized as an S Corporation for income tax purposes under the terms of which the shareholders agree to include their respective share of the taxable income of the Company in their individual tax returns. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged assets or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain and loss is recognized in income in the period of change. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not expect adoption of the new standard on January 1, 2001 to affect its financial statements. In December 1999, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. SAB 101 must be applied to financial statements no later than the quarter ended September 30, 2000. There was no material impact from the application of SAB 101 on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44), Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. FIN 44 clarifies the application of Opinion No. 25 for (a) the definition of an employee for purposes of applying Opinion No. 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 became effective July 2, 2000, but certain conclusions cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000. FIN 44 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 14 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ NOTE 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consists of the following: December 20, 2000 Office equipment $ 7,200 Furniture and fixtures 26,300 Computers and computer equipment 58,500 Leasehold Improvements 99,800 ------------------ 191,800 Less accumulated depreciation 26,600 ------------------ $ 165,200 ================== NOTE 3. ACCRUED EXPENSES A summary of accrued expenses follows: December 20, 2000 Vacation $ 12,900 Sales Tax payable 2,000 Salaries and wages 11,700 Domain name payable 11,300 ------------------ $ 37,900 ================== NOTE 4. LEASE COMMITMENTS LEASES The Company leases its facility and certain equipment under operating leases which expire on December 2004 and August 2003, respectively. The facility is leased from the Company's majority shareholder, Al Marco (Note 10), and requires the Company to pay certain maintenance and operating expenses, such as utilities, property taxes and insurance costs. Rent expense related to these operating leases for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000 and the period from July 1, 1999 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 1999 was $148,000 and $35,700, respectively. 15 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ A summary of future minimum lease payments required under non-cancelable leases with terms in excess of one year follows: Years ending December 31, 2001 $ 158,200 2002 165,700 2003 168,900 2004 173,600 ------------------ Total future minimum lease payments $ 666,400 ================== NOTE 5. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT On December 7, 2000, the Company and one of its minority shareholders entered into a settlement agreement with a vendor which provided for the payment of $26,000 by the Company and $75,000 by one of the Company's minority shareholders for a release of all claims relating to a trade secret infringement lawsuit. Since the Company reimbursed the minority shareholder for his portion of the cash settlement, the entire $101,000 has been recorded in Other Expense during the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000. NOTE 6. DEBT AGREEMENTS The Company maintains a $250,000 revolving line of credit with a bank and a second $440,000 line of credit for the Company's benefit, which is maintained by MFA. These lines are secured by all of the Company's assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and intangible assets and are personally guaranteed by Al Marco. The $250,000 line of credit accrues interest at 1.375% over the lenders prime rate (9.5% at December 20, 2000) and the $440,000 line of credit accrues at 1% over the prime rate. The lines were fully withdrawn as of December 20, 2000 with a consolidated balance of $690,000. As of December 20, 2000, the weighted average interest rate was 10.57%. In connection with the purchase of the Company by BrightCube, Inc. ("BrightCube") on December 20, 2000 (Note 12), BrightCube assumed and refinanced the entire $690,000 loan. Under the refinanced terms, the $690,000 loan is due in twenty-four monthly principal payments of $28,800 plus interest at the prime rate plus 1.25% through December 2002. The refinanced terms also require that BrightCube maintain minimum cash balances of at least 1.75 times the current principal balance of the loan. Should the cash balance fall below the minimum cash requirements an amount equal to the principal balance will become restricted. 16 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ NOTE 7. COMMON STOCK The Company authorized 1,000,000 shares of no-par value common stock on March 6, 2000. On August 22, 2000, the Company amended their Articles of Incorporation for an increase in authorized shares from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000. The 1,064 shares issued during the period from July 1, 1999 through December 20, 2000 reflect the Company's stock register on a post-AMP merger basis. Included in the statements of shareholders' deficiency during the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000 and the period from July 1, 1999 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 1999 are actual cash contributions totaling $202,000 and $25,000, respectively, with the additional contributions representing the Company's expenses paid for directly by MFA and non-cash contributions (Note 10). NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES The Company has elected to be an S Corporation for tax purposes, under the terms of which the shareholders agree to include their respective share of the taxable income of the Company in their individual income tax return. As a result, no federal income tax is imposed on the Company. California recognizes Federal S Corporation provisions, but imposes a tax on the Company's taxable income at a reduced rate. Because the Company has incurred a taxable loss since its commencement of operations, the income tax provision for each period presented consists of the California State minimum tax of $800 for each affiliate, which has been included in selling, general and administrative expenses. NOTE 9. MAJOR SUPPLIERS For the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000, AMP had two suppliers that comprised approximately 70% and 15% of total purchases. Included in accounts payable at December 20, 2000 is $11,700 due to one of these vendors. Management believes other vendors could supply similar products, but on terms that may not be as favorable as currently being offered. A change in suppliers could cause a delay in availability of products and possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results. The cost of revenues included in the Statements of Operations for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000 relates principally to product sales made by AMP. 17 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Since its commencement of operations, the Company has received non-interest bearing loans from MFA totaling $800,000 at December 20, 2000 including $600,000 in promotional art prints. In connection with the purchase of the Company by BrightCube on December 20, 2000 (Note 12), BrightCube repaid the entire amount due MFA. On December 11, 2000 the Company received a $38,700 loan from BrightCube for working capital purposes. The Company received a $12,000 loan from one of its minority shareholders in November 2000. The entire balance of the loan was repaid on January 10, 2001. The following related party transactions have been recorded as capital contributions as the liabilities for these items have been assumed by Al Marco, the CEO and majority shareholder of EVG and/or MFA: During the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000, the Company received approximately $396,300 in promotional art prints from MFA, of which $100,000 is on hand at December 20, 2000 for use in future promotions and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. In connection with the line of credit that MFA maintains for the Company's benefit (Note 6), $24,600 of interest was paid by MFA on behalf of the Company during the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000. Four unrelated companies have rendered consulting services to EVG, totaling $312,700 and $79,700 in 2000 and 1999, respectively, that were not compensated. Al Marco has agreed to provide payment separate from EVG. Tony Marco, brother of Al Marco, provided human resource, administration and operational services totaling $96,000, of which $80,000 and $16,000 pertained to the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000 and for the period from July 1, 1999 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 1999, respectively. He was not compensated for these services and Al Marco has agreed to provide payment separate from EVG. Al Marco, who owns the building occupied by EVG, has contributed rent in the amount of $142,800 and $35,700 for the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000 and for the period from July 1, 1999 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 1999, respectively (Note 4). Al Marco contributed services estimated at $150,000 during the period from January 1, 2000. 18 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ NOTE 11. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS During the period from January 1, 2000 through December 20, 2000, the Company paid $18,100 for interest, and $1,600 for income taxes. During the period from July 1, 1999 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 1999, no cash was paid for interest nor income taxes. NOTE 12. MERGER AGREEMENT On December 20, 2000, 100% of the Company's common stock was purchased by BrightCube for 18,192,600 shares of BrightCube restricted common stock of which 3,208,600 shares were placed in a twelve-month escrow account as security for the indemnification obligations of the former EVG shareholders. In addition, BrightCube agreed to assume and pay an $800,000 liability of EVG to MFA and certain lines of credit aggregating $690,000 (Note 6). 19
