F-4 NOTE 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The unaudited condensed financial statements of MariCulture Systems (the Company) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with audited financial statements filed on April 13, 2001 and Form 10KSB. NOTE 2. NET (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic (loss) earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each quarter. The weighted average shares for computing the Company's basic (loss) earning per share were 10,597,023 and 10,357,840 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 8,691,026 from inception through March 31, 2001. As of March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had 25,000 and 0, of common stock equivalent shares. Because of the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and from inception through March 31, 2001, common stock equivalent shares were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. F-5 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations. General In November 2000, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Websters' Inc. The consulting agreement provides that the Company is to engage Websters' Inc. as a registered professional engineering firm for the purposes of performing the comprehensive development and production of a functional water driven, integrated commercial flow-through effluent handling device to capture, separate and consolidate the water borne waste originating from a SARGO fish farming system. This device is to improve upon and replace existing energy intensive technology currently being used in the SARGO System. Websters' Inc. is to provide technical support to the integration and installation of the resulting device into the current design of SARGO commercial fish rearing vessels. Websters' Inc agreed to provide approximately two hundred fifty (250) hours of service to the Company, and to accept restricted common stock of the Company in Lieu of cash payment at a rate of one hundred (100) share for every one (1) hour of services, or a pro-rata amount thereof, or, upon the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, in a cash amount of one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per hour of service. Websters' Inc. received an initial deposit in advance against the consulting agreement of one thousand (1,000) shares of restricted common stock of the Company in January 2001. Payments for services in shares will be presented as a certificate of the restricted common stock on a quarterly basis upon approval of the Company's Board of Directors. The agreement also provides that the Company agrees to exchange for cash, at the same rate of value as at original issue, any designated part or the total of all stock issued to Websters' Inc. as a fee from the consulting agreement. The exchange for cash will only be in the event that the stock tendered to Websters' Inc. is unable to be sold in a brokered transaction after a period of one (1) year from the date of issue of the certificate. The agreement expires December 1, 2002. The offering was conducted pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder ("Rule 506") and Section 460-44A-506 of the Washington Code.

Discussion and Analysis The Company, Mariculture Systems, Inc. is a Florida corporation which conducts business from its headquarters in Lake Stevens, Washington. The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 8, 1996. On August 22, 1996, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement whereby the Company issued and exchanged 8,800,000 shares of its common stock for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding stock of Mariculture Systems, Inc., a Washington corporation ("MSIW") (the "Share Exchange"). As a result of that transaction, MSIW became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Washington corporation was administratively dissolved on September 19, 1997. The Company is principally involved in the aquaculture industry, including developing, manufacturing, and marketing proprietary systems that allow commercial fish farmers to increase productivity and profits while reducing risks to their crop and limiting environmental impact. Current activities include the search for potential customers of the Company's proprietary product. The Company is in the development stage. It is acquiring the necessary operating assets and it is beginning its proposed business. While the Company is developing tools necessary to enter the acquaculture industry, there is no assurance that any benefit will result from such activities. The Company will receive limited operating revenues and will continue to incur expenses during its development, possibly in excess of revenue. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking financing to allow it to begin its planned operations. Results of Operations -For the Three Months Ending March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity For the 1st quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 2001 the Company recorded no revenues. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 2001 the Company had general and administrative expenses of $67,945 and $71,433. This increase of $3,488 was due to trips to Canada by the Company management for prospective sales opportunities. 10 For the 1st quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, the Company had research and development expenses of $0 and $0 respectively. For the 1st quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, the Company had total operating expenses of $67,945 and $71,433. Net Losses For the 1st quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, the Company reported a net loss from operations of $70,877 and $75,685 respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. The Company is currently seeking financing to allow it to begin its planned operations. Employees At December 31, 2000, the Company employed five (5) persons, two (2) full time, two (2) part time and one (1) consultant. Only one (1) of the employees is paid by the Company. None of these employees are represented by a labor union for purposes of collective bargaining. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be excellent. The Company plans to employ additional personnel as needed upon product rollout to accommodate fulfillment needs. Research and Development Plans The Company believes that research and development is an important factor in its future growth. The aquaculture industry is closely linked to technological advances, which produce new ways of producing product for its use by the public. Therefore, the Company must continually invest in the latest technology to appeal to the public and to effectively compete with other companies in the industry. No assurance can be made that the Company will have sufficient funds to purchase technological advances as they become available. Additionally, due to the rapid advance rate at which technology advances, the Company's equipment and inventory may be outdated quickly, preventing or impeding the Company from realizing its full potential profits. Forward-Looking Statements This Form 10-QSB includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-QSB which address activities, events or developments which the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), expansion and growth of the Company's business and operations, and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future 11 developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results or developments will conform with the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, general economic market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the Company; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-QSB are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations.
