FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. eKnowledge Group, Inc., previously eTestPrep, Inc. (the Company), was incorporated in the state of Nevada on June 1, 1999, for the purpose of providing educational training courses over the Internet and through other media sources. Effective April 17, 2000, Richmond Services, Inc. (Richmond), acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Currently the Company has 50,000,000 common shares authorized, with 19,555,556 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. There are currently approximately 450 shareholders in the Company. As a result of the transaction, the Company's former shareholders obtained control of Richmond, a blank-check corporation with no operations. For accounting purposes, this acquisition has been treated as a re-capitalization of the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference are the following financial statements: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exhibit FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00QF-2 Un-Audited Financial Statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. EKNOWLEDGE GROUP, INC. OVERVIEW We provide online interactive video streamed learning programs in the supplemental education market. Additionally, we provide corporate solutions designed to address the strategic business objectives of our customers by helping them to increase employee productivity, education access and decrease the overwhelming cost of corporate training. We host and centrally manage all software and content, significantly reducing our customers' learning infrastructure costs and enabling us to rapidly update or customize our courses. Our Web-based solutions deliver content on new initiatives, products or processes to large, geographically dispersed groups who can access courses from anywhere, at anytime through a standard Web browser. Our interactive video-based design approach encourages active learning among the participants. As of September 30, 2000, we had over 2000 customers. We also maintained online courses in the standardized test preparation area and providing corporate online delivery services in the technology, financial services, and telecommunications industries. Clients in the corporate education arena include Citibank, eGoose and Practicing Law Institute. In August, the Company successfully acquired the rights to the domain name "eKnowledge.com." This acquisition gives us all rights and interests in the trademark "eknowledge," as registered by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We believe that the use of this trademark provides us intellectual property and a recognizable trademark in the online, educational marketplace. As such, our domain name was changed at that time to "eKnowledge.com." 2 (B) DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. NET SALES Net product sales include the selling price of the HOME LSAT program offering sold by the Company, net of returns, as well as outbound shipping and handling charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, total revenues increased from $23,128 to $91,857 over the same period last year. This increase is largely due to the start-up nature of the Company as of September 30, 1999 and the increase in product offerings. Further, by virtue of the acquisition by Richmond Services and the contribution of cash on April 17, 2000, the majority of operations have taken place since then. We expect that revenues from product sales will continue to grow as we launch new products and continue to increase our product offerings and services. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit is calculated as net sales less the cost of sales, which consists of the cost of developing and producing the products sold to customers. Cost of sales exceeded net revenues resulting in a gross loss due to the Company's focus on product development for the quarter ending September 30, 2000. As a result of these product development efforts, the Company's product offering has grown from one test review course to five courses, as well as continue developing contracts for individual companies. MARKETING AND SALES Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of advertising, public relations and promotional expenditures. Through the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company had not spent significant amounts on marketing and sales. The Company intends to increase these expenses as it continues its branding and marketing campaigns, and as it increases is sales efforts. As a result, the Company expects marketing and sales expenses to continue to increase significantly. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Product development expenses are reported as Cost of Sales and consist of payroll and related expenses for developing new products, developing and maintaining the Company's web sites and supporting technology. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative ('G&A') expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for executive, finance and administrative personnel, recruiting, professional fees and other general corporate expenses. These expenses increased dramatically in the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as the company began building its management team and staffing its technical department. The Company expects these costs to continue to increase, as additional resources will be needed to support our new products and continue to offer new services. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation is comprised of consideration offered to a number of key employees as part of their employment agreements. This consideration must 3 be classified as compensation expense under generally accepted accounting principles. Approximately 1.4 million shares of restricted common stock were issued to several key employees of the Company in May 2000. The compensation is being amortized over the vesting period that ends on May 30, 2001 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since April 17, 2000, the Company has satisfied its cash requirements primarily through private placements of equity securities (including the cash received at the time of the acquisition by Richmond). Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $546,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Net operating cash flows were primarily attributable to quarterly net losses, increases in current assets, and continued development activities. This is typical of start-up companies. Net cash provided by investing activities was $396,000, due primarily to the cash infusion at the time of the merger with Richmond. Net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $188,000 relates to additional cash received for stock, also a result of the merger with Richmond. The Company is currently in the process of raising additional funds. The Company believes that the cash proceeds from current investment agreements, in addition to the current cash balance of $38,000 at September 30, 2000, is sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated cash needs. We are continuing our discussions with potential investors to raise the additional funds that will be necessary to meet our operating needs. However, any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. If current cash that may be generated from operations are insufficient to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements, the Company may seek to sell additional equity. Such a sale could result in additional dilution to the Company's stockholders. In addition, the Company will, from time to time, consider the acquisition of or investment in complementary businesses, products, services and technologies, which might impact the Company's liquidity requirements or cause the Company to issue additional equity. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. 4 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None ITEM 2.

SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On April 17, 2000, our shareholders approved a Plan of Reorganization by which we acquired 100% of eKnowledge Group, Inc.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of September 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These statements are condensed and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK. The Company places its cash in what is believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances may exceed FDIC insured levels at various times during the year. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. INVENTORY. Inventory at September 30, 2000, consists of brochures, posters, banners, t-shirts, handouts, audiotapes, and other related materials that are provided to customers who purchase the products. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. INTANGIBLE ASSETS. The Company's intangible assets include all intellectual property including course names, mailing lists, contacts and licenses for Home Education, Home LSAT, the World Wide Web address of Home-LSAT.com, eCorpEd.com, eAfterSchool.com, eTestPrep.com, eLifeEd.com, eClassicNotes.com, eCollegeNotes.com. A license from the Law School Admissions Council, Inc. has been obtained for the use of prior testing questions. Management estimates the useful life of these assets to be approximately 10 years. Additionally, the Company's intangible assets include the intellectual property rights associated with the trademark "eKnowledge." This includes all rights, interests and title to the name "eKnowledge" which has been registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Amortization expense for the period ended September 30, 2000, was $1,263. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION. Revenues are recognized from the sale of course publications as products are shipped. Other revenues are recognized as earned. Cost of sales includes the cost of production and development of related course materials. Such costs include professional consultation, printing, copying, and related promotional materials and costs. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization expense for the year is calculated by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. ADVERTISING. The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expenses for the nine months ending September 30, 2000, were $8,112. LONG-LIVED ASSETS. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive income and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. INCOME TAXES. Income taxes are provided for based on the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred income taxes, if any, are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. EARNINGS PER SHARE. The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("BEPS") and diluted earnings per share ("DEPS'). The computation of BEPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding during the period. DEPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares during the period. The computation of DEPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings. As of September 30, 2000, the Company has no securities that would affect loss per share if they were to be dilutive. CORPORATE REORGANIZATION AND MERGER. On April 17, 2000 Richmond and the Company executed an Acquisition Agreement (the "Agreement") that provided whereby Richmond would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. In connection with the transaction, the shareholders of the Company received 15,155,556 shares of Richmond common stock for its 15,155,556 shares, which represents 77.5% of the Company. As a result of this transaction the former shareholders of the Company acquired or exercised control over a majority of the shares of Richmond. Accordingly, the transaction has been treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization of the Company and, therefore, these financial statements represent a continuation of the accounting acquirer, the Company, not Richmond, the legal acquirer. In accounting for this transaction: i) The Company is deemed to be the purchaser and surviving company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, its net assets are included in the balance sheet at their historical book values. ii) Control of the net assets and business of Richmond was acquired effective April 17, 2000 (the "Effective Date"). This transaction has been accounted for as a purchase of the assets and liabilities of Richmond by the Company. At the effective date Richmond had some liabilities in the form of accounts payable. These were paid prior to the effective date under the terms of the transaction agreement. iii) The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include the Company's results of operations and cash flows from June 1, 1999 (date of inception) and Richmond's results of operations from the Effective Date. ACQUISITION OF EKNOWLEDGE.COM. In August, the Company purchased the domain name and mark "eknowledge.com" for $25,000 cash and an option to purchase 32,500 options. The options, which will be granted at a later date, are fully vested, may be exercised beginning in May, 2001 and have a four year term. The purchase gives the Company all rights, title and interest in the trademark "eknowledge" as registered and maintained by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The purchase price of $25,000 was reported as and intangible asset and is being amortized. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES. The Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement with Margie Whistler for $20,000 for consulting services. The note bears interest at 5 percent per annum. Principle and any accrued interest shall be due and payable upon the closing of a subsequent equity financing undertaken for the purpose of raising proceeds, or October 12, 2001, if no subsequent financing takes place. The provisions for conversion are available upon the closing of a subsequent financing prior to October 12, 2001, and provide that the holder may choose to have the balance due of this note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon automatically converted into shares of the Company's stock at a price of $1.50 per share. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had incurred expenses on the contract in the amount of $10,000 and paid $500. During the nine months ending September 30, 2000, the Company paid $2,000 towards the note. Additionally, during the same period, the Company incurred expenses for the contract balance of $10,000. On March 31, 2000, the holder of the note accepted 6,667 shares of common stock as payment of the additional $10,000. These shares were transferred by the majority shareholder of the Company. INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, consist of the following: Current Federal $ 0 State 800 ------------ Total Current 800 ------------ Deferred Income Taxes 293,085 Valuation Allowance (293,085) ---------- Total Deferred 0 - ----------------------------------------- Provision for Income Taxes $ 800 The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying federal statutory rates to income before taxes due to the valuation allowance described below. Provision for deferred income taxes of $293,085 have been made for temporary differences existing in recognition of a net operating loss being carried forward for tax and financial statement purposes. The Company has established a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss carryforward of $837,385 due to the start-up nature of the Company. The Company has total net loss carry-forwards of approximately $856,834 through the nine months ending September 30, 2000. The net operating losses expire as follows: Amount Expiration Year - --------------------------------------------------------- $837,385 2020 19,449 2019 - --------------------------------------------------------- Total $856,834 SHAREHOLDER EQUITY. On April17, 2000 Richmond issued 15,155,556 shares of stock for all the stock - 15,155,556 shares - of the Company. Before the transaction, there were 4,400,000 shares of Richmond outstanding. After the transaction the ownership of Richmond is as follows: Shares Percent - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Original shareholders 4,400,000 22.5 (including public owners) Former owners of the Company 15,155,556 77.5 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 19,555,556 100 Because the former owners of the Company end up with control of Richmond, the transaction would normally be considered a purchase by the Company. However, since Richmond is not a business, the transaction is not a business combination. Instead, the transaction is accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company and the issuance of stock by the Company (represented by the outstanding shares of Richmond) for the assets and liabilities of Richmond. The value of the net assets of Richmond is the same as their historical book value. As part of this recapitalization, Richmond shareholders agreed to pay all liabilities existing prior to the date of the transaction. Richmond's liabilities prior to the transaction were immaterial. For the recapitalization, the Company's equity accounts are restated to reflect the 4,400,000 shares of the Original shareholders of Richmond and the 15,155,556 shares issued based on the ratio of the exchange of 15,155,556 Richmond shares for 15,155,556 of the Company shares. Currently, the Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $.001 per share. STOCK COMPENSATION. As part of their employment agreements, several employees were offered stock certificates of common stock as part of their compensation. The stock certificates were transferred by the Company's sole shareholder at that time. These stock offerings are deemed a benefit to the corporation and as such, compensation is recognized based on the value of the stock. The stock vests over the course of twelve months. As a result, approximately $703,000 was reported as an increase to Additional Paid in Capital and approximately $468,000 was reported as a charge to Unearned Compensation. The resulting effect was a net compensation expense of approximately $235,000, reported for the nine months ending September 30, 2000.
