NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions incorporated in Regulation 10-SB of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual
financial statements for the period.
Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding.
The Company was incorporated as Auric Enterprises (Auric) in Nevada in October
1998. On December 10, 1999, the stockholders' of the Company approved a merger
with Freedom Golf Corporation (Freedom), a Colorado corporation. Under the terms
of the agreement, each common share of Freedom will receive a share of Auric
common stock. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition,
whereby the financial statements of Freedom will continue carry forward. In
conjunction with the transaction, Auric changed its name to Freedom. Freedom is
a golf club manufacturer specializing in custom built woods and irons.

(UNAUDITED)
Readers also should be aware that while the Company communicates with securities
analysts, the Company has a policy against issuing or confirming financial
forecasts or projections issued by others. Accordingly, to the extent that
reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or
opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of the Company, and
stockholders should not assume that the Company agrees with any statement or
report issued by any analyst.
CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING FREEDOM GOLF CORPORATION
RESTRUCTURING
In the first quarter of 2000, the Company went through a merger agreement with
Auric Enterprises, Inc. Since Auric Enterprises was a publicly traded company,
Freedom was the surviving company. Immediately upon the closing of the merger
Auric Enterprises, Inc.
agreed to a name change to Freedom Golf Corporation and a symbol change to FGLC.
SALES; GROSS MARGIN; SEASONALITY
During the three-month period ending March 31, 2000, the Company's Gross Profit
was about 92% of what it had been during the same period in 1999. The Company
believes that this decrease was due to several reasons. One, the President/CEO
who has handled all negotiations for the Company, was also the lone salesman for
the Company. The Company was also having problems getting their contracted
Marketing Company to upgrade the webpage and come up with new and unique print
material for dissemination. Because of ongoing problems with the Marketing
Company, the Company has had to expend considerable time and effort to interview
new Marketing Companies. The Company did hire a new Marketing Company but
understands it will require much more additional time and effort to bring the
new Marketing Company to a full understanding of Company and its products. The
hiring of Key personnel in the Sales and Operations Department of the Company
did not take place in the second quarter of fiscal year 2000, but will hopefully
take place in the third quarter of fiscal year 2000, but if it does not happen,
the lack of qualified personnel to assist in building the Company could do
further damage to the revenue stream of the Company.
NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
The Company believes that the introduction of new, innovative golf equipment is
imperative to is future success. Even though the Company faces certain risks
with such bold moves, Management deems it necessary to introduce new and unique
products such as the Freedom 345 Fairway Wood. The 345 Fairway Wood is a
combination 3, 4 and 5 fairway wood combined into one club.

FREEDOM GOLF CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
Company understands that new designs and changes from the traditional line of
golf clubs may be met with consumer rejection. It is also possible that cloning
of the 345 Fairway Wood may occur and possibly have an adverse effect on the
Company's revenues. The Company plans its manufacturing capacity based upon the
forecasted demand for its products. Actual demand for such product may exceed or
be less than forecasted demand. If the Company is unable to produce sufficient
quantities of this new product in time to fulfill actual demand, especially
during the Company's hopefully busy third and fourth quarters, it could limit
the Company's sales and adversely affects its financial performance.
Trends and Uncertainties. Demand for the Company's products will be dependent
on, among other things, market acceptance for the Company's concept, its
operations and general economic conditions that are cyclical in nature. Inasmuch
as a major portion of the Company's activities will be the receipt of revenues
from the sales of its products, the Company's business operations, may be
adversely affected by the Company's inability to obtain the necessary financing,
competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.
Capital and Source of Liquidity. The Company requires substantial capital in
order to meet its ongoing corporate obligations and in order to continue and
expand its current and strategic business plan. Initial working capital has been
obtained by private sale of common stock. The company has received $170,000 from
the exercise of warrants through the date of this report. These funds will be
used for inventory, repay debt and provide working capital. The Company needs to
have adequate capital to market its products.
Results of Operations. Net sales increased from $24,470 in 1999 to $26,883 in
2000. This increase is minimal due to a lack of funds for advertising and
promotion of the Company's products. It is the Company's intent to development
advertising for both the television and print media. It is expected that once
funds become available that advertising expenditures will significantly
increase.
Selling and general administrative expenses increased by $846,045 as compared to
1999. $86,045 of the increase is due to higher legal and accounting fees
incurred in connection with the acquisition of Freedom as well as the addition
of two employees and the Freedom Golf School. The additional $760,000 was paid
in the way of restricted stock (no cash) and was necessary to complete the
merger agreement with Auric Enterprises, Inc.
