NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Business
-------------------
Nature of Operations - COL China Online International Inc. (COL
International or the "Company") was incorporated as a Delaware corporation
on February 22, 2000 for the purpose of acquiring Migration Developments
Limited ("Migration") and raising equity capital. Prior to the acquisition
of Migration, COL International was considered to be in the development
stage, due to its limited operations and lack of revenues.
In July 2001, the Company completed its initial public offering of common
stock. The Company issued 1,655,000 shares of common stock in this offering
at US$0.05 per share (approximately US$83,000). All net proceeds from this
offering were used to pay costs associated with the offering.
COL International was formed for the purpose of acquiring and conducting
the engineering services and the internet related business of Migration. On
September 24, 2001, the acquisition of Migration by the Company through the
exchange of the Company's shares was completed. In this transaction, the
Company acquired all the outstanding shares of common stock of Migration in
exchange for 40.2 million shares of the Company's common stock. As a result
of the acquisition, Migration became a wholly owned subsidiary of COL
International.
Migration is a British Virgin Islands (BVI) corporation incorporated on May
18, 1998. It has two subsidiaries, Shanghai Knowledge & Communications Co.,
Ltd. (formerly Shenzhen Rayes Electronic Systems Co., Ltd.) ("Joint
Venture") and Shanghai Shangyi Science and Trade Information Consulting
Co., Ltd. ("Shangyi"), in which it has 90% and 70% equity interests,
respectively. The Joint Venture and Shangyi are sino-foreign equity joint
ventures in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Most of the operations of
Migration are through the Joint Venture, which did not commence substantive
operations until the Spring of 1999. The acquisitions of Joint Venture and
Shangyi had been accounted for as purchases by Migration.
Migration has been providing marketing and technical services for an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) and value added services generally related
to the installation of computer network systems (i.e., Local Area Networks
or LANs) in the PRC.
Migration is also developing proprietary websites in which it markets
services and products of other companies and receives subscriber and/or
transactional fees for its services. Migration designs websites and
provides hosting services to other companies.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These financial statements have been prepared on
the same basis as the annual financial statements except for certain
accounting policies used by Migration as detailed in the Form 10-QSB for
the quarter ended September 30, 2001. These financial statements and the
notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended June 30, 2001 and Current Report on Form 8-K, and
amendment, concerning the acquisition of Migration on September 24, 2001.
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, including normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the quarter and six-month periods then ended, have been included.
The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.
For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition of Migration by the
Company on September 24, 2001 has been treated as a reverse acquisition.
Migration is the continuing entity for financial reporting and the
acquisition of COL International is considered a recapitalization and
restructuring of Migration. On this basis, the historical financial
statements prior to September 24, 2001 represent the financial statements
of Migration. The historical shareholders' equity accounts of the Company
have been retroactively restated to reflect the issuance of 40,200,000
shares of common stock since inception of Migration and the issuance of
9,955,000 shares of stock upon the merger with COL International.
The amounts included in the financial statements are presented in Renminbi
("Rmb"), which is COL International's functional currency, unless otherwise
indicated as US dollars, because COL International's operations are
primarily located in the PRC. For illustrative purposes, the condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three months and six months ended December
31, 2001, respectively, and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows
for the six months ended December 31, 2001 have been translated into US
dollars at approximately 8.155 Rmb to the dollar, which was the exchange
rate at December 31, 2001.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business
Combinations" and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No.
141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for under the purchase method. For all business combinations for
which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001, SFAS No. 141 also
establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets
separately from goodwill and requires unallocated negative goodwill to be
written off immediately as an extraordinary gain, rather than deferred and
amortized. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets after an acquisition. The most significant changes made
by SFAS No. 142 are: (1) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
lives will no longer be amortized; (2) goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least annually; and (3)
the amortization period for intangible assets with finite lives will no
longer be limited to forty years. At this time, the Company does not
believe that the adoption of either of these statements will have a
material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
6
COL CHINA ONLINE INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In June 2001, the FASB also approved for issuance SFAS No. 143 "Asset
Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting requirements
for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets,
including (1) the timing of the liability recognition, (2) initial
measurement of the liability, (3) allocation of asset retirement cost to
expense, (4) subsequent measurement of the liability and (5) financial
statement disclosures. SFAS No. 143 requires that an asset retirement cost
should be capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset
and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational
method. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
In August 2001, the FASB also approved SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 replaces SFAS
No. 121. The new accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of
by sale applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued
operations, and replaces the provisions of Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations - Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business", for the disposal of
segments of a business. SFAS No. 144 requires that those long-lived assets
be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued
operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured
at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have
not yet occurred. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued
operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can
be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated
from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The
provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, are to
be applied prospectively. At this time, the Company cannot estimate the
effect of this statement on its financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows.
4. Comprehensive Income
--------------------
The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS No. 130 establishes standards
for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial
statements. Comprehensive income, as defined therein, refers to revenues,
expenses, gains and losses that are not included in net income but rather
are recorded directly in stockholders' equity. Accumulated other
comprehensive income for the quarter and six months period ended December
31, 2001, respectively, represented foreign currency translation
adjustments.
5. Net Loss Per Share
------------------
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Pursuant to the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan, options may be granted to
purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to key employees
and other persons who have or are contributing to the Company's success. As
of December 31, 2001, no options had been granted under the 2000 plan.

COL CHINA ONLINE INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. Accumulated Deficit
-------------------
The acquisition of Migration by COL International on September 24, 2001 had
been treated as a reverse acquisition. As a result, accumulated deficit
prior to the acquisition should reflect that of Migration only. However, no
goodwill was recorded on this acquisition as COL International had limited
operations and was formed for the sole purpose of merging with Migration
and raising limited funding prior to the acquisition. Therefore,
accumulated deficit of COL International of RMB3,630,010 (US$445,127) at
the date of acquisition has also been recorded in the accumulated deficit
of the Company.
7. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
On July 27, 2000, ChinaOnline Inc., a provider of business news and
information regarding China in the United States, sent the Company a letter
claiming that the Company's use of the CHINAONLINE mark constitutes an
infringement and dilution of the trademark rights of ChinaOnline Inc. in
its CHINAONLINE trademark, which they claimed had been registered in the
United States. ChinaOnline Inc. demanded that the Company cease and desist
all use of the CHINAONLINE mark, including as a company name. On August 21,
2000, ChinaOnline Inc. sent a second letter stating that it will take
appropriate action in the event that we fail to cease and desist all use of
the CHINAONLINE mark. The Company has responded to these claims by stating
that, under relevant legal principles, the use of the name "COL China
Online International Inc." does not infringe on, dilute or otherwise injure
any trademark rights of the claimant.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
This document contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions. When used in this document, the words "expects",
"anticipates", "intends" and "plans" and similar expressions are intended to
identify certain of these forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements
made in this document should be read as being applicable to all related
forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this document.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such difference include those
discussed below and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended June 30, 2001.
Overview
COL International was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring Migration and
raising equity capital. Prior to the acquisition of Migration on September 24,
2001, COL International was considered to be in the development stage, due to
its limited operations and lack of revenues.
Initial Public Offering - In July 2001, the Company completed its initial public
offering of common stock. The Company issued 1,655,000 shares of common stock in
this offering at US$0.05 per share (approximately US$83,000). All net proceeds
from this offering were used to pay costs associated with the offering.
Going concern - The ability of COL International to continue operations as a
going concern is dependent upon the continued support from Honview International
Limited ("Honview"), a former shareholder of Migration, which is now a major
stockholder of COL International, until such time as, when or if, the combined
entity of COL International and Migration achieve profitable operations and/or
additional funds are raised in future private and public offerings.
Acquisition - COL International was formed for the purpose of acquiring and
conducting the engineering services and the internet related business of
Migration. In September 2001, the acquisition of Migration by the Company
through the exchange of the Company's shares was completed. In this transaction,
the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of common stock of Migration in
exchange for 40.2 million shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of
the acquisition, Migration became a wholly owned subsidiary of COL
International. However, for accounting purposes, this transaction is treated as
a reverse acquisition, whereby Migration is considered as an acquirer. No
goodwill is recorded in the merger. The condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company reflected the operations of Migration prior to the
merger and the combined entity after the merger.
Migration is a British Virgin Islands (BVI) corporation incorporated on May 18,
1998. Migration has been providing marketing and technical services for an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) and value added services generally related to
the installation of computer network system (i.e. Local Area Networks or LANs)
in the PRC. Migration is also developing proprietary websites in which it
markets services and products of other companies and receives subscriber and/or
transactional fees for its services. Migration designs websites and provides
hosting services to other companies.
9
Plan of operations - During the next 12 months, COL International intends to
pursue the following:
o marketing packages of information technology and value added internet
services to small and medium-sized enterprises in China;
o continue operating a website (www.colexports.com) under an agreement
with the China Council for Promotion of International Trade to assist
export-related companies to carry out obtaining certificates of origin
required to enable export companies to cash letters of credit and to

The Company currently is operating on a negative cash flow basis and is seeking
additional financing in order to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company
anticipates that it will require Rmb7,336,800 (or approximately US$900,000) in
financing during the next 12 months to satisfy its cash requirements. COL
International, through its Migration subsidiary, currently employs approximately
70 employees in China. As COL International pursues its plan of operations, it
anticipates hiring up to 30 additional employees in the next 12 months.
We anticipate making no purchases or sales of plant and significant equipment in
the coming year, apart from the possible addition of more servers to keep pace
with future growth. We do not expect the costs of additional servers to be
material.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2001 include installation
revenue of Rmb1,008,095 (US$123,617) and marketing fees received from Shenzhen
Rayes Group Co., Ltd. ("Rayes Group") of Rmb93,050 (US$11,410) compared to
installation revenues of Rmb(3,268) and marketing fees of Rmb96,384 for the
three months ended December 31, 2000. Installation revenue and marketing fees
received from Rayes Group for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was
Rmb1,155,406 (US$141,681) and Rmb166,173 (US$20,377), respectively, compared to
Rmb(3,268) and Rmb175,569, respectively, for the six months ended December 31,
2000. The Company has entered into only a limited number of installation
contracts, and revenue is recognized as project phases are completed and
accepted by the customer. However, because there have been only a limited number
of contracts, the Company's gross margin on installation revenue, which can vary
between contracts based on negotiated price and materials installed (where lower
margins are received), is not consistent between periods. For the three months
ended December 31, 2001, the Company had a gross margin of approximately 33
percent based on costs of Rmb680,007 (US$83,385), whereas for the three months
ended December 31, 2000, the Company had a negative gross margin. For the six
months ended December 31, 2001, the Company had a gross margin of approximately
10
55 percent based on costs of Rmb789,528 (US$96,815), whereas for the six months
ended December 31, 2000, the Company had a negative gross margin. Negative
installation revenue derived for the three months and six months ended December
31, 2000 because of cancellation of a contract previously recognized as revenue
in the year ended June 30, 1999. In addition, Construction Net and Education Net
have contributed transaction fee revenue of Rmb142 (US$17) and business services
revenue of Rmb6,679 (US$819), respectively, for the three months ended December
31, 2001, compared to Rmb13,163 (US$1,614) and Rmb7,330 (US$899), respectively,
for the six months ended December 31, 2001. Both Construction Net and Education
Net were launched during the year ended June 30, 2001, however, no significant
revenues have been generated to date. The Company began to derive revenue from
sales of design software amounting to Rmb10,803 (US$1,325) with a gross profit
of 44 percent and Rmb33,187 (US$4,069) with a gross profit of 50 percent for the
three months and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively.
Marketing fees are related to the Joint Venture's share of 50 percent of the
revenues generated from ISP services owned by a minority shareholder, Rayes
Group, and computer hosting of web sites for customers. The Company has not yet
generated significant revenues from these lines of business, but is devoting
substantial resources to developing this business. To date, most ISP services
are paid by a limited number of individual dial-up customers and internet games
centers in Shanghai, as well as a limited number of companies whose web sites
are hosted by the Company. The Company also designs web sites for companies,
however, insignificant revenue has been generated from this activity to date. To
the extent that the Company designs and hosts a customer's web sites, the
related revenue from the design will generally be deferred and recognized over
the hosting term of the contract or expected life of the customer, if longer.
In connection with these services, the Company has an agreement with Rayes Group
to reimburse Rayes Group for its actual transmission (i.e., telephone line)
costs, provided that Rayes Group will pay all incremental costs related to
expansion of the telecommunications facilities related to the ISP operations.
These amounts totaled Rmb116,450 and Rmb274,711 (US$33,686) during the three
months ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to
Rmb217,032 and Rmb509,222 (US$62,443) during the six months ended December 31,
2000 and 2001, respectively. The Joint Venture has no long-term commitments in
connection with its telecommunication costs other than management fees payable
to the Rayes Group for providing services.
During the three months ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001, the
Company did not incur any research and development costs. The Company incurred
Rmb142,030 and nil of research and development costs for the six months ended
December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. These costs represent software
development costs associated with the Company's development of its Education Net
and Small and Medium Sized Enterprises web sites. The web sites are currently
functioning and can be accessed, but no significant revenues have been generated
to date.
General and administrative costs include salaries, rent, travel and other
overhead costs. For the three months ended December 31, 2000 and December 31,
2001, general and administrative costs totaled Rmb1,400,848 and Rmb2,974,087
(US$364,713), respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2000 and
December 31, 2001, general and administrative costs totaled Rmb2,594,658 and
Rmb5,189,648 (US$636,376), respectively. These costs are increasing as the
Company continues to expand its business services.
Amortization and depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31,
2000 and December 31, 2001 was Rmb1,701,934 and Rmb1,218,216 (US$149,383),
respectively, compared to Rmb3,410,731 and Rmb2,427,062 (US$297,617) for the six
months ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The decrease
represents the impairment loss provision of intangibles which accrued in the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001.

The Company has not recognized any future tax benefits resulting from its
operating losses due to the uncertainty of future realization.
Based on the minority shareholder's 30 percent interest in Shangyi, Rmb53,599
and Rmb107,181 of losses is offset against the minority interest's capital
contribution of Rmb446,581 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and for
the six months ended December 31, 2000, respectively. No share of loss has been
absorbed by Shangyi's minority interest holder for the three months ended
December 31, 2001 and for the six months ended December 31, 2001 as its initial
capital contribution was fully absorbed.
The above has resulted in net losses of Rmb3,059,587 and Rmb4,087,872
(US$501,290) for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001,
respectively, compared to Rmb6,072,039 and Rmb7,626,067 (US$935,139) for the six
months ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The Company
expects to continue to incur losses until its services are more fully developed
and accepted in China.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001, the Company had a negative and
positive working capital of Rmb1,193,492 (US$146,351) and Rmb181,916,
respectively. As of December 31, 2001, advances from the majority stockholder
totaled Rmb46,428,274 (US$5,693,228). The Company's management believes the
majority stockholder will continue to provide financial support to the Company,
and the majority stockholder has signed a note agreement to provide up to
US$8,000,000. The Company's ability to continue operations is currently
dependent upon continued financial support from its majority stockholder. Also

(US$165,528) and Rmb1,504,412, respectively, incurred in connection with the
purchase of office space and staff quarters in Wuhan, China.

2001 was Rmb5,551,080 (US$680,696) as compared with Rmb2,772,718 for the six
months ended December 31, 2000. The cash used in operations was to fund
operating losses of Rmb6,072,039 and Rmb7,626,067 (US$935,139), generally offset
by non-cash expenses related to amortization and depreciation of Rmb3,410,731

December 31, 2001, respectively.

regulatory approval, the purchase of a company developing a website
(Construction Net) in which the Company has 70 percent interest, was completed.
The total purchase price for this entity was Rmb 1,457,140 (or approximately
US$179,000). A purchase deposit of Rmb1,020,000 (or approximately US$125,000)
was advanced during the period ended June 30, 2000 and an additional net amount
of Rmb 281,964 (or approximately US$35,000) was paid in July 2000. The
predecessor entity was a development stage company and has not recognized any
significant revenues from its web site development.

majority stockholder of the Company. During the six months ended December 31,
2000 and December 31, 2001, the majority stockholder has advanced Rmb2,688,779
and Rmb4,829,266 (US$592,185), respectively.
