NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999
(U.S. DOLLARS)
1. CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Chauvin Enterprises Ltd. was incorporated on March 13, 1992 in the state of
Delaware, U.S.A.
The Company has negative working capital and a deficit. The ability for
the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
obtain adequate financing to reach profitable levels of operations. It is
not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if
the Company will attain profitable levels of operations.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States and reflect the
following significant accounting principles:
A. ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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 amount of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
B. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128), which established new
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. With SFAS 128, primary
earnings per share is replaced by basic earnings per share, which is
computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. In
addition, SFAS 128 requires the presentation of diluted earnings per
share, which includes the potential dilution that could occur if
dilutive securities were exercised or converted into common stock.
The computation of diluted EPS does not assume the conversion or
exercise of securities if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common
equivalent shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the
conversion of the convertible loan notes and special warrants (using
the if-converted method) and incremental shares issuable upon the
exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants (using the
treasury stock method).

CHAUVIN ENTERPRISES LTD. 10QSB Quarterly Report Date Filed: 04/10/2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits in banks
and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
or less.
3. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
On April 17, 1997 the Company issued a 5% Convertible Debenture in the
amount of $500 U.S. due April 17, 2002 in partial settlement of outstanding
legal fees. The debenture principle bears interest at 5% per annum and the
accrued interest and the principle shall be convertible, in part or in
whole on the basis of 1 share for every $1.00 U.S. ($0.0005 U.S. post
forward split shares) of debt. The debenture conversion may be exercised
at the holder's option by giving the Company 10 days notice. The
Convertible debenture was converted on October 15, 1999.
4. SHARE CAPITAL
a. On May 4, 1999, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation by
subdividing the authorized capital stock of the corporation so that
each share was subdivided into two thousand shares. The certificate of
incorporation was further amended by increasing the authorized capital
stock of the company to 20,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.01
each.
b. On October 20, 1999, the Company amended its certificate of
incorporation by increasing its authorized capital stock to 100,000,000
shares of common stock and changing the par value of its common shares
to $.0001 par value per share.
c. On October 15, 1999, the Company issued 1,112,000 common shares on the
conversion of the debt and accrued interest of $56 at 1 share for every
$0.0005 U.S. debt.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
a. At October 31, 1999, members of Maitland & Company, the Company's
Canadian legal counsel owned 125,000 shares of the Company's common
stock.
b. At October 31, 1999, members of the Company's U.S. legal counsel owned
1,112,000 shares of the Company's common stock
6. INCOME TAXES
The Company has net operating losses which may give rise to future tax
benefits of approximately $229, $25 and $507 as of July 31, 1999, July 31,
1998 and July 31, 1997 respectively. To the extent not used, net operating
loss carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2012.
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.109 (SFAS 109). Under this method, deferred income
taxes are determined based on differences between the tax basis of assets
and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end, and
are measured based on enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. No provision for income taxes is included in the
statement due to its immaterial amount.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company has registered its common stock on a Form 10-SB
registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 12(g) thereof. The Company files with
the Securities and Exchange Commission periodic and episodic reports under
Rule 13(a) of the Exchange Act, including quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB
and annual reports Form 10-KSB. As a reporting company under the Exchange
Act, the Company may register additional securities on Form S-8 (provided
that it is then in compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act) and on Form S-3 (provided that is has during the prior 12 month period
timely filed all reports required under the Exchange Act).
The Company was formed to engage in a merger with or acquisition of an
unidentified foreign or domestic private company which desires to become a
reporting company whose securities have been registered under the Exchange Act.
The Company may be deemed to meet the definition of a "blank check" company
contained in Section (7)(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Management believes that there are perceived benefits to being a
reporting company which may be attractive to foreign and domestic private
companies.
These benefits are commonly thought to include
(1) the ability to use securities to make acquisition of assets or
businesses;
(2) increased visibility in the financial community;
(3) the facilitation of borrowing from financial institutions;
(4) improved trading efficiency;
(5) the potential for shareholder liquidity;
(6) greater ease in subsequently raising capital;
(7) compensation of key employees through options for stock for which
there may be a public market;
(8) enhanced corporate image; and,
(9) a presence in the United States capital market.
A private company which may be interested in a business combination
with the Company may include
(1) a company for which a primary purpose of becoming a reporting
company is the use of its securities for the acquisition of
assets or businesses;
(2) a company which is unable to find an underwriter of its securities
or is unable to find an underwriter of securities on terms
acceptable to it;
(3) a company which wishes to become a reporting company with less
dilution of its common stock than would occur normally upon an
underwriting;
(4) a company which believes that it will be able obtain investment
capital on more favorable terms after it has become a reporting
company;
(5) a foreign company which may wish an initial entry into the United
States securities market;
Page 10
CHAUVIN ENTERPRISES LTD. 10QSB Quarterly Report Date Filed: 04/10/2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) a special situation company, such as a company seeking to satisfy
redemption requirements under a qualified Employee Stock Option Plan;
and,
(7) a company seeking one or more of the other benefits believed to
attach to a reporting company.
Management is actively engaged in seeking a qualified private company
as a candidate for a business combination. The Company is authorized to enter
into a definitive agreement with a wide variety of private businesses without
limitation as to their industry or revenues. It is not possible at this time
to predict with which private company, if any, the Company will enter into a
definitive agreement or what will be the industry, operating history, revenues,
future prospects or other characteristics of that company.
As of the date hereof, management has not made any final decision
concerning or entered into any agreements for a business combination. When
any such agreement is reached or other material fact occurs, the Company
will file notice of such agreement or fact with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 8-K. Persons reading this Form 10-QSB are advised to
see if the Company has subsequently filed a Form 8-K.
The Company does not intend to trade its securities in the secondary
market until completion of a business combination. It is anticipated that
following such occurrence the Company will take the steps required to cause its
common stock to be admitted to quotation on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board or, if
it then meets the financial and other requirements thereof, on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, National Market System or regional or national exchange.
COMPUTER SYSTEMS REDESIGNED FOR YEAR 2000
Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year
in such program's date field. These programs were designed and developed
without consideration of the impact of the change in the century for which four
digits will be required to accurately report the date. If not corrected, many
computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or following
the year 2000 ("Year 2000 Problem"). Many of the computer programs containing
such date language problems have not been corrected by the companies or
governments operating such programs. The Company does not have operations and
does not maintain computer systems. However, it is impossible to predict what
computer programs will be effected, the impact any such computer disruption
will have on other industries or commerce or the severity or duration of a
computer disruption.
Before the company enters into any business combination, it will inquire
as to the status of any target company's Year 2000 Problem, the steps such
target company has taken to correct any such problem and the probable impact
on such target company of any computer disruption. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not combine with a target company that has an
uncorrected Year 2000 Problem or that any such Year 2000 Problem corrections
are sufficient. The extent of the Year 2000 Problem of a target company may
be impossible to ascertain and its impact on the Company is impossible to
predict.
