MONEYZONE.COM
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A. ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS, AND CONSOLIDATION
The financial statements presented are those of MoneyZone.com, a Nevada
corporation and a development stage company (the "Company"). The Company was
incorporated on April 4, 1989 under the laws of the State of Nevada under the
name Chelsea Atwater, Inc., later changing its name to CEREX Entertainment
Corporation and subsequently to CERX Entertainment Corporation, CERX Venture
Corporation and, on July 8, 1999, in connection with the merger of
EBonlineinc.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with the Company, to
EBonlineinc.com. Upon consummation of the merger, EBonlineinc.com, Inc. ceased
to exist and the Company was the sole surviving entity. On December 16, 1999,
the Board of Directors approved the Company changing its name to MoneyZone.com.
The Company's activities to date have been directed toward raising
capital, developing, implementing and marketing an Internet site designed to
facilitate mergers, acquisitions, and the funding of corporate finance
activities.
NOTE B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reporting amounts 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 period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in reporting
results of operations for income tax and financial accounting purposes. Deferred
tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In October, 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require,
companies to record compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation
plans at fair value. The Company has elected to account for its stock-based
compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB
No. 25). Under the provisions of APB No. 25, compensation cost for stock options
is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's
common stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the stock.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
NOTE B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents
are not included in the weighted average calculation since their effect would be
anti-dilutive.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires the Company to report the fair value of financial instruments, as
defined. Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are carried
at fair value or contracted amounts which approximate fair value. Estimates of
fair value are made at a specific point in time, based on relative market
information and information about the financial instrument, specifically, the
value of the underlying financial instrument.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets of five
years.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, the Company
considers all demand deposits held in banks and certain highly liquid
investments with maturities of 90 days or less other than those held for sale in
the ordinary course of business to be cash equivalents.
STOCK SPLIT
In July, 1999, in connection with our merger with EBonlineinc.com (see
Note D), the shareholders approved and the Company effected a 3.5 for 10 reverse
split of the Company's common stock and a cancellation of 117,766 shares of
common stock, resulting in an effective reverse split ratio of 3.2646:10. Unless
otherwise noted, all references to shares and share prices, including
retroactive treatment, reflect the reverse split on the basis of the effective
ratio.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to
the current presentation.
NOTE C. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
PREFERRED STOCK

exercise price equal to $4.00 per share. The warrants expire on September 15,
2005.

accrued interest (8% simple interest per annum) for cash loans and advances of

As additional collateral to the September 2000 issuance of convertible
debentures, GCAP has provided to the Cortlandt Investors, LLC, a 5% convertible

On June 28, 1999, the Company, the Company's then majority stockholder
and EBonlineinc.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger providing for the merger of EBonlineinc.com, Inc. with and
into the Company. On July 15, 1999, the Company filed the Articles of Merger and
the Certificate of Merger with the Secretaries of State of the states of Nevada
and Delaware, respectively, consummating the merger. Immediately prior to the
merger, the Company changed its name from Cerx Venture Corporation to
EBonlineinc.com, effected a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding
shares of common stock on a on a three-and-one-half-for-ten (3.5:10) basis, and
cancelled 117,765 shares of Registrant Common Stock. The Company is continuing
as the sole surviving corporation and the separate existence of EBonlineinc.com,
Inc. ceased effective as of July 15, 1999. The merger was valued at $1,000, the
fair market value of the assets of the non-surviving company. Immediately prior
to the consummation of the merger there were 1,633,227 outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock and immediately thereafter there were 5,500,000
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
The merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization pursuant
to Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and the Plan of Merger is intended to qualify as a "plan of
reorganization" for purposes of Section 368 of the Code. Since the merger, the

NOTE F. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
EMPLOYEE STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company has an equity incentive stock option plan. The Plan was
adopted by the Board of Directors on May 23, 2000 and approved by the
shareholders on the same date. The Board believes that approval of the Plan was
in the best interest of the Company. The purpose of the Plan is to provide
incentives to attract, retain, and motivate eligible persons whose present and
potential contributions are important to the success to the Company, by offering
them an opportunity to participate in the Company's future performance through
awards of options and stock bonuses. The total number of shares of Common Stock
reserved under the plan is 1,000,000. Such number may, from time to time, be
amended by the Board, subject to shareholder approval. Options totaling 287,500
shares have been approved by the Board. Subsequent to December 31, 1999, options
at $3 per share have been granted to key officers, employees, and individuals
that are for a one or two year term.
NOTE G. INCOME TAXES
The Company has an unused net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $297,000, of which approximately $98,000 expires in 2014 and the
remainder in various periods through 2013. However, the ability to utilize such
losses to offset future taxable income is subject to various limitations imposed
by the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service. A portion of the
net operating losses is limited each year to offset future taxable income, if
any, due to the change in ownership of MoneyZone.com's outstanding common stock.
This net operating loss carryforward may result in future income tax benefits of
approximately $101,000; however, because realization is uncertain at this time,
a valuation reserve in the same amount has been established. Deferred income
taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for income tax purposes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
PLAN OF OPERATION
At September 30, 2000, we had cash and marketable securities in the
amount of $2,218,768 and incurred operating expenses at a rate of $110,000 per
month. We have liquid assets sufficient to cover operating expenses for the next
20 months.
In September 2000, $2.5 million was received with the issuance of
convertible debentures to Cortlandt Investors, LLC. The purpose of the funds has
been intended for the acquisitions of Ostrander Burch & Co., Inc., Carolina
Securities, Inc., and CrossBridge Capital Partners. Funds have also been
designated for the use of improving the Company's working capital. Subsequent to
September 30, 2000, the Company has suspended activities relating to the
acquisition of the companies mentioned above.
Proceeds have been used to improve the Company's working capital and to
continue development of financial website products and services.
Membership subscription revenue is now being recognized along with the
generation of advertising and marketing campaign revenue from the websites.
The backlog of contingent financing advisory fees continues to grow.
Although no revenues to date have been recognized regarding financial advisory
and/or placement fees, contracts are now in place with activities to which there
is anticipation of recognition of revenues.
In April 1999, we launched our initial corporate finance website at
www.ebonlineinc.com. That site's functionality was limited to a business for
sale and venture capital search and listing process. The website was primarily
designed to support the corporate finance activities of our largest stockholder,
Global Capital Partners, Inc., formerly Eastbrokers International Incorporated.
In December 1999, we purchased the domain name www.moneyzone.com and
discontinued the www.ebonlineinc.com website. Our current flagship website,
www.moneyzone.com was launched on January 18, 2000.
Our current operations are focused upon providing services and
products to middle-market businesses via our website. Resources include business
for sale listings, on-line commercial loans, equity funding sources, business
news, stock quotes, business articles, business products and business service
providers. We generate targeted traffic to our website through a combination of
traditional and online advertising and marketing campaigns including print
media, banner ads, email services, direct mail and other online media. Site
traffic has increased consistently since the January 18th launch of
www.moneyzone.com. Unique visitors are currently averaging 300,000 per month,
and we have more than 10,000 registered members.
Our plan of operation for the next year includes:
o Increasing our network of commercial lenders and equity funding sources
throughout the United States and Europe.
o Developing improved functionality for the lending and equity funding
sections so that funding seekers and funding sources may monitor
transactions continuously in real time.
o Licensing MoneyZone Capital Corp. as a broker-dealer so that we may
collect investment banking and advisory fees.
o Enrolling corporate finance affiliates throughout the United States and
Europe who will assist us in aggregating and facilitating corporate
finance transactions.
9
o Sponsoring MoneyZone Capital Partners Fund I to invest in
business-to-business Internet companies and early-stage information
technology and information services companies. We intend to primarily
co-invest with established venture capital and investment firms.
o Retaining additional corporate finance professionals to expand our
capabilities in facilitating commercial loan and investment banking
transactions.
We believe that there are significant advantages for our member
businesses in utilizing the Internet and www.moneyzone.com to arrange commercial
loans, offer themselves for sale, raise equity capital, locate service
providers, access current business news and source related products. Our website
is in operation 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year. We have
members in more than 70 countries. Only one application form is required for
submission to multiple commercial lenders or equity funding sources. Response
times are typically shorter than in off-line transactions. Members may conduct
searches worldwide without time or place constraints. Transaction fees may be
lower than those typically charged by traditional investment banks.
We intend to constantly improve the functionality of our website and to
add services to better support our customers. As we continue to promote
www.moneyzone.com and increase our viewership, there will be a larger membership
base providing increased opportunities for customer interaction and completed
transactions. Our corporate finance professionals will also have a larger pool
of potential transactions to facilitate.
We currently have twelve (12) employees:
o Administration/Operations---- (3)
o Website engineering and design---- (4)

Within the next six months we expect to have approximately twenty (20)
employees as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Since July 15, 1999, upon consummation of our merger with
EBonlineinc.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation, after which we continued as the
surviving corporation, the Company's activities have been directed toward
raising capital and developing, implementing and marketing an Internet site
designed to facilitate mergers, acquisitions, and the funding of corporate
finance activities. In October 1999, the Company completed its initial private
placement of funds. A total of 733,335 shares of stock were issued at a
placement cost of $3.00 per share. $2,200,005 of equity funds were raised. Cost
of the issuance of the private placement was $654,893. Net proceeds to the
Company were $1,545,112.
Moneyzone.com is a Web-based business consisting of a website, globally
accessible via the
10
Internet, designed to facilitate mergers, acquisitions and corporate finance
activity. The site attracts businesses seeking merger opportunities or joint
venture partners, looking to sell or acquire businesses or to obtain debt or
equity capital or simply to gain exposure within the international investment
banking community. In addition, the site attracts accredited investors looking
for investment opportunities. We expect that the combination of finance and the
Internet will differentiate MoneyZone.com from its competition.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through September 30, 1999, we funded our operations almost exclusively
through cash loans and cash advances provided by shareholders. In October 1999,
we completed our initial private placement offering. Net fund proceeds were used
to repay short-term loans and advances provided by shareholders.
In September 2000, the Company issued convertible debentures of $2.5
million. These funds have been used to enhance website development and
accelerate the recognition of contingent recognized revenues.
For the period ended September 30, 2000, we had incurred and paid
website development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative and
overhead expenses of $776,474. As of September 30, 2000, we had an accumulated a
deficit (net loss) of $2,391,195 since inception. We currently have cash and
marketable securities amounting to $2,218,768. There are no outstanding loans or
debts owed as of September 30, 2000 other than the convertible debentures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the three months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred a net
loss from operations of $776,474. Expenses for this second quarter are related
primarily to the development of the proprietary website, sales and marketing
expenses and to costs relating to the financint costs of the issued debenture.
The company has begun recognized revenues from advertising, membership
subscriptions, and web site development consulting fees. The Company paid rent,
salaries, and other general and administrative costs for the quarter totaling
$405,267. During the three months ended September 30, 1999, we had no revenues
and expenses totaled $100,552. The Company was a non-operating company until
September 1999.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 128. The new standard replaces primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. We adopted SFAS
No. 128 beginning with the interim reporting period ended December 31, 1997. The
adoption did not impact previously reported earnings per share amounts.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." This statement established standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. There were no items of
comprehensive income as defined by SFAS 130 for any of the periods presented.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting For Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging
11
activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. At this time, we do not believe that this statement will have a
significant impact on us.
