JAWZ Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars)
(Amounts as at September 30, 2000, and for the three
month periods and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, are unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
JAWZ Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on January 27, 1997 under the laws
of the State of Nevada as "E-Biz" Solutions, Inc. On March 27, 1998, "E-Biz"
Solutions, Inc. changed its name to JAWS Technologies, Inc. and on September
29th, 2000 JAWS Technologies, Inc. changed its name to JAWZ Inc. Effective July
7, 2000, JAWZ Inc. migrated to the State of Delaware.
JAWZ provides e-security services. The Company assists in removing the burden of
information risk management for its customers by providing products and services
that cover the entire e-security market (from assessment to implementation to
monitoring), via its three divisions, Security Products, Professional Security
Services (PSS) and Managed Security Services (MSS). The Company targets six key
market verticals: governments, cyber crime and forensics, healthcare, financial
services, e-commerce, and the telecom markets. As at September 30, 2000, JAWZ
International headquarters is located in Canada in Toronto, Ontario. JAWZ also
has offices in Calgary, Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta and Ottawa, Ontario in
Canada. In the United States, JAWZ has offices located in Boston,
Massachusetts, Fairfield, New Jersey, Chicago, Illinois and Pasadena,
California.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, JAWZ Inc., JAWZ Canada Inc. (formerly JAWS
Technologies Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation), JAWZ USA (formerly JAWS
Technologies (Delaware) Inc., a Delaware corporation), after elimination of
intercompany accounts and transactions.
Effective July 1, 2000 JAWS Technologies Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation
("JAWS Alberta"), JAWS Technologies (Ontario) Inc. an Ontario, Canada
corporation ("JAWS Ontario"), Pace Systems Group Inc. ("Pace") and Offsite
Data Services Ltd., operating as JAWS Secure Network Storage Division, an
Alberta, Canada corporation, were amalgamated to into one company, JAWZ Canada
Inc., an Alberta Canada Corporation.
The Company has experienced net losses over the past three years and, as of
September 30, 2000, has an accumulated deficit of $28,042,866. Such losses are
attributable to both cash losses and losses resulting from costs incurred in the
development of the Company's services and infrastructure and non-cash interest
and amortization charges. The Company expects operating losses to continue for
the foreseeable future as it continues to develop and promote its services, and
establish its business, while working towards profitability. Accordingly, the
Company will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing to maintain its
continuing operations and rapid development.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
Interim Reporting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for 2000
and 1999 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statement information. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for
9
a fair presentation have been included. The results for the interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
any future period.
Use of estimates
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon
future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily
involves the use of estimates which would affect the amount of recorded assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with
insignificant interest rate risk and with original maturities of one month or
less when purchased. The Company invests its excess cash in term deposits
maintained primarily in Canadian financial institutions in an effort to preserve
principal and to maintain safety and liquidity.
Term deposits include investments with original maturities exceeding one month
when purchased.
Bank indebtedness
Bank indebtedness represents two outstanding lines of credit acquired through
the purchase of a subsidiary. These lines of credits are secured by the
subsidiary's outstanding accounts receivables and carry personal guarantees from
the former owners of the subsidiary. These line of credits bear interest at 9%
per annum.
Equipment and leasehold improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are depreciated at
the following annual rates which are designed to amortize the cost of the assets
over their estimated useful lives.
Security equipment - 20% straight line
Furniture and fixtures - 20% declining balance
Computer hardware - 33% straight line
Computer software for internal use - 33% straight line
Leasehold improvements - 20% straight line
Capital leases
Leases in which substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are
transferred to the Company are capitalized with an offsetting amount recorded as
a liability.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be disposed of," which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present.
10
Intangible assets
Employee and Consultants Base
The employee and consultants base arising from acquistions are recorded at cost
and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded at cost and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over three years.
The recoverability of employee and consultants bases and goodwill are assessed
periodically based on management estimates of undiscounted future operating
income from each of the acquired businesses to which the goodwill relates.
Software licenses
Software licenses are recorded at cost and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the five year license term.
Software development
Software development costs are expensed when technological feasibility has not
yet been established. Subsequent to establishing technological feasibility, such
costs are capitalized until the commencement of commercial sales.
Revenue recognition
Product Revenue: Revenue from selling encryption software and from the sale and
installation of computer software and hardware is recognized at the time of
delivery.
Consulting Revenue: Revenue from information technology services and outsourcing
contracts is recognized when the service is rendered.
Maintenance Revenue: Revenue from maintenance contracts and their associated
costs are deferred and systematically recognized over the term of the
maintenance period.
Deferred Charges
Costs incurred in maintenance contracts are deferred and systematically
recognized over the term of the maintenance period.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Financing fees
Financing fees associated with that portion of the convertible debentures
classified as debt were deferred and amortized straight-line over the life of
the debentures. Financing fees associated with that portion of the convertible
debentures classified as additional paid in capital were charged to that
account.
11
Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for the tax effect of
temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of the
company's assets and liabilities. Temporary differences arise when the
realization of an asset or the settlement of a liability would give rise to
either an increase or decrease in the Company's income taxes payable for the
year or later period. Future income taxes are recorded at the income tax rates
that are expected to apply when the future tax liability is settled or the
future tax asset is realized. When necessary, valuation allowances are
established to reduce future income tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change
during the period in future income tax assets and liabilities.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company's Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian
dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are
translated at the year-end exchange rate and revenues and expenses are
translated at average exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from the
translation of the financial statements of the subsidiaries are recorded in a
"Cumulative Translation Adjustment" account in stockholders' equity.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange
rate on the transaction date. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and
liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect of the balance sheet
date. The resulting exchange gains and losses on these items are included in net
earnings.
Earnings (loss) per common share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share has been calculated based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per common share is calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming
any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.
Stock based compensation
The Company applies the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly,
no compensation cost is recognized in the accounts as options are granted with
an exercise price that approximates the prevailing market price.
3. ACQUISITIONS
a. JAWS Alberta
On February 10, 1998 the Company issued 1,500,000 restricted common shares with
an ascribed value of $1,200,000 CDN ($839,748 USD), as well as options to
purchase 400,000 shares of its restricted common stock at $0.50 per share in
exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of JAWS Alberta. The options
issued in connection with the acquisition have been ascribed no value. JAWS
Alberta was a development stage company which at the time of acquisition was in
the process of creating a new encryption software product. The acquisition has
been accounted for by the purchase method.
The purchase price and the amounts allocated to software under development and
the common shares issued, net of other assets and liabilities acquired, were
determined based on estimates by management as to the replacement cost for the
encryption software development which had been incurred by JAWS Alberta prior to
the acquisition date. The purchase price has been allocated to the net assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values as follows:
12
$
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net assets acquired
Non-cash working capital (5,087)
Software under development 909,003
Equipment 2,891

Net assets acquired, excluding cash 852,364
Acquisition costs (13,996)
Cash acquired 1,380
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net assets acquired for common stock 839,748
================================================================================
The amount allocated to software under development relates to encryption
software and its related algorithms, including the "L5" software. This software,
at the time of purchase, was not completely developed, tested or otherwise
available for sale and therefore has been immediately expensed in the
accompanying consolidated statements of loss and deficit. Coding and testing
activities for this software were completed on July 31, 1998.
The operating results of the acquired company are included in the consolidated
statements of loss, deficit and comprehensive loss from the date of acquisition.

of the Company, in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Pace. In
addition, there is contingent consideration payable of 346,386 exchangeable
common shares subject to the achievement of certain targets. Fifty percent of
the additional share consideration will be released if on the 12 month
anniversary date of the effective date, actual gross revenues equal or exceed
$2,000,000 CDN ($1,377,505 USD) for the previous 12 month period. The remaining
additional share consideration will be released if, on the 24 month anniversary
date of the effective date, actual revenues for the previous twelve months equal
or exceed $2,000,000 CDN ($1,377,505 USD). The additional consideration payable
has been reflected in these consolidated financial statements as of September
30, 2000 and has been allocated to employee and consultants base and goodwill.

issuance, at $7.04 per share, totalling $268,020, as well as contingent
consideration of an additional 9,516 common shares subject to the achievement of
certain targets. The issuance of 9,516 common shares is dependent upon achieving
revenues equal to the greater of $200,000 per employee, or a minimum of

$530,636 (1999 - $1,120, 1998 - $0, and 1997 - $0).
6. INVESTMENTS
Short Term Investment:
Short term investment is comprised of revenues receivable for the period ended
September 30, 2000 in respect of e-Financial Depot.com, an entity in which
certain directors were also directors and officers of the Company. This short
term investment will be settled with common stock of e-Financial Depot.com. This
common stock will be classified as shares available for sale and these shares
will be carried at fair value.
Investment:
On January 6, 2000, the Company exercised its option to purchase 2,000,000 of
Cobratech Industries Inc. common shares (25% of Cobratech) for $20,000, and
granted Cobratech the exclusive right to market and sell the Company's products
in Asia for a four year period commencing on October 19, 1999. The Company will
receive a 25% royalty on all products sold by Cobratech. No royalties have been
received to date. As Cobratech has issued additional common shares since January
6, 2000, JAWZ currently holds less than 20% of the outstanding Cobratech common
shares. Accordingly, this investment has been recorded at cost.

The fair value of each option granted to date is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
expected volatility of 133% (December 31, 1999 - 151%; September 30, 1999 -
167%; December 31, 1998 - 153%), risk-free interest rate of 6.50% (December 31,
1999 - 4.87%; September 30, 1999 - 4.87%; December 31, 1998 - 4.0%); no payment
of common share dividends for all years; and expected life of 3 years (December
31, 1999 - 3 years; September 30, 1999 - 10 years; December 31, 1998 - 10
years). Had compensation cost for these plans been determined based upon the
fair value at grant date, consistent with the methodology prescribed in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the Company's net loss and net loss per common share for the
three month period ended September 30, 2000 would have been $19,503,814 and
$0.60 respectively (December 31, 1999 - $9,121,253 and $0.64; September 30, 1999
- - $4,220,310 and $0.33; December 31, 1998 - $3,324,618 and $0.45 respectively).
During 1999 the Company granted a total of 500,000 options to two officers of
the Company at an exercise price of $1.88 per share which was calculated based
on the previous three months average price. The difference between the exercise
price and the trading price on the day prior to the grant date has been
recognized as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2000 was $5.02 (1999 -
$2.32; 1998 - $0.41).

In September 1998 the Company entered into a debenture agreement to issue 10%
convertible debentures up to a total of $2,000,000 which mature on October 31,
2001. The debentures were convertible, at the holders' option, into common
shares of the Company at various prices as outlined in the agreement. The
Company could prepay any or all of the outstanding principal amounts at any
time, subject to the holders' right to convert into common shares. A financing
fee of 10% was charged on the principal sum of each convertible debenture
issued. Interest was payable in cash or common shares at maturity.
The agreement was amended in April 1999 to include, among others, an increase in
the amount available from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 and a reduction of the
financing fee to 8% on the additional amount available.
The Company issued $420,000 of debentures in 1998 and an additional $1,100,000
during 1999. Amounts of $118,462 and $617,867, in 1998 and 1999 respectively,
representing the intrinsic value of the conversion option, were recorded as
additional paid in capital with an offsetting charge to interest expense. The
portion of $152,000 of financing fees associated with the equity component of
the debentures was recorded as a reduction to paid in capital. The remainder,
which was recorded as a reduction of the debenture principal, was being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debentures.
At the time of initial funding in 1998, the Company issued 1,428,572 common
share purchase warrants (357,143 to the agent and 1,071,429 to the ultimate
subscriber of the issue). Each warrant granted the holder the right to purchase
one common share of the Company at $0.28 until October 31, 2001. The estimated
value of the subscriber warrants, in the amount of $342,857, was recorded as
additional paid in capital as they were exercisable upon issuance. The warrants
issued to the agent, with an estimated value of $85,714, were treated as a
financing fee; the portion thereof associated with the equity component of the
debenture ($24,000) was charged to additional paid in capital. The remainder was
being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debentures. The
debenture amendment in April, 1999 included the issuance of an additional
923,077 warrants which granted the holder the right to purchase one common share
of the Company at $0.65. The estimated value of these warrants, in the amount of
$341,538, was recorded as additional paid in capital, reduced by an offsetting
amount of $110,027 attributable to the equity component of the debenture. The
remainder was charged as a discount to debt and was being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the life of the debentures.
During 1998, $210,000 principal amount of debentures, together with $3,798
interest, was converted into 1,912,317 common shares.
Effective November 1, 1999 the Company settled the entire outstanding principal
amount of the debentures in exchange for 3,157,712 common shares, at a
recognized value of $1,091,348. Accrued interest and penalties were settled in
exchange for 57,643 common shares valued at $404,943. As part of the settlement
of the debt, the Company issued 1,428,572 common shares upon exercise of the
1,428,572 common stock purchase warrants,
27
which were granted at the time of the initial funding of the debt. The warrants
were exercised at the stated price of $0.28 per warrant. The Company also issued
751,648 shares of common stock upon exercise of the 923,077 common share
purchase warrants, which were granted at the time of the amendment in April
1999. In exchange for issuing 171,429 fewer shares as per the exercise agreement
terms, the warrant holders were not required to pay cash on the exercise of
these warrants; accordingly, the original amount recognized as additional paid
in capital has been reversed and $258,945 was recognized as financing expense.
12. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is net loss for the period divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The effect on earnings
(loss) per share of the exercise of options and warrants, and the conversion of
the convertible debentures is anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of earnings (loss) per common
share:

The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of future tax
assets in light of its history of operating losses since its inception.
At September 30, 2000, the Company has U.S. operating losses carried forward of
$8,349,000 which expire as follows:
$
--------------
2018 880,000
2019 2,750,000
2020 4,719,000
The availability of these loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income
could be subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Certain ownership changes can significantly limit the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards in the period following the ownership change.
The Company has not determined whether such changes have occurred and the effect
such changes could have on its ability to carry forward all or some of the U.S.
net operating losses.
At September 30, 2000, the Company has non-capital losses carried forward for
Canadian income tax purposes of $11,852,000. These losses expire as follows:

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments comprising cash, and cash equivalents, term deposits,
accounts receivable, amounts due to and from related parties, bank indebtedness,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations, amounts due
to related parties and amounts due to stockholders approximate their fair value.
It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant
currency risks arising from these financial instruments.
At September 30, 2000 approximately 62% of consolidated accounts receivable are
due from a related party engaged in the business of internet delivery of
financial services.
18. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities", which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which will become
effective December 31, 2000. The Company does expect the standard to have a
material effect on its results, however an analysis has not been completed.
19. COMPARITIVE FIGURES
Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the
current period's presentation.
20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 2nd, 2000, in connection with the private placement financing
agreement dated August 21, 2000, the Company issued 400,000 common shares for
proceeds of $2,000,000. In connection with this private placement, the Company
issued 120,000 share purchase warrants which entitle the holder to purchase one
share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Each warrant will
expire on August 21, 2005. In addition, the holders received adjustable
warrants, pursuant to a formula, to purchase a number of shares of common stock,
at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Overview
JAWZ is currently the parent corporation of five subsidiaries. The two
material operating companies are JAWZ Canada Inc. and JAWZ USA Inc. The third
subsidiary is JAWZ Illinois, Inc., an Illinois corporation (formerly "Nucleus
Consulting, Inc."). The other two subsidiaries, which are non-operating, are
JAWZ Acquisition Corporation ("JAC") and JAWZ Acquisition Canada Corporation
("JACC"), whose sole purpose is to facilitate Canadian acquisitions.
On July 1, 2000, JAWZ reorganized its corporate structure by migrating
the parent company, JAWZ Inc., to the state of Delaware. In addition, JAWZ
amalgamated four operating subsidiaries in Canada (JAWS Technologies Inc., an
Alberta corporation ("JAWS Alberta"), JAWS Technologies (Ontario) Inc., an
Ontario corporation ("JAWS Ontario"), Pace Systems Group Inc., an Ontario
corporation ("PACE"), and Offsite Data Services Ltd., an Alberta corporation
("Offsite")) to form a single operating subsidiary in Canada, JAWZ
Technologies Inc., an Alberta corporation ("JAWZ Canada"). JAWZ Canada is
extra-provincially registered to carry on business in Ontario.
During the last twelve months JAWZ has completed seven material
acquisitions, acquiring PACE Systems Inc. (November 1999), SDTC (December 1999),
Offsite Data Storage Inc. (January 2000), Nucleus Consulting Inc. (April 2000),
General Network Systems Inc (August 2000), Betach Systems Inc and Betach
Advanced Systems Inc. (August 2000), and 4COMM.com Inc. (August 2000).
The shares of JAWZ common stock are included for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "JAWZ". As at September 30, 2000, JAWZ'
International headquarters is located in Canada in Toronto, Ontario. JAWZ also
has offices in Calgary, Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta and Ottawa, Ontario in
Canada. In the United States JAWZ has offices located in Boston, Massachusetts,
Fairfield, New Jersey, Chicago, Illinois and Pasadena, California.
JAWZ is organized under a vertical business model, with the six target
verticals, namely Financial Services, Health Care, Cyber-crime & Forensics,
Government, Telecommunications (which includes ISP's and ASP's), and Strategic &
Emerging Markets.
Both of JAWZ two primary operating subs, JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA,
specialize in the field of end-to-end information security, providing consulting
services and software solutions to minimize the threats to clients' information
and communications. The overall strategic goal for JAWZ is to consolidate the
highly fragmented information security industry, achieve increasing economies of
scale through the acquisition of high growth, emerging market firms and
integrate such firms through centralized administration and planning. Through
industry and management expertise, JAWZ attempts to ensure that acquired firms
receive the capital and corporate planning necessary to maximize the growth
potential within each information security niche.
JAWZ has also developed or purchased several strategic horizontal product
or service offerings that it offers to its customers across all verticals. These
horizontal offerings include managed services (which includes JAWZ Secure
Network Storage offering) and managed security services, professional services
and professional security services, JAWZ products and best-of-breed third party
products.
In addition to the vertical model outlined above, and a horizontal
offering across all verticals, JAWZ has also developed several Centers of
Excellence. At its offices in Calgary, Alberta, JAWZ Canada develops proprietary
encryption software using what is currently one of the world's strongest
encryption algorithms, L5, to secure binary data in various forms, including
streamlining or blocking data. JAWZ Secure Network Storage offers secure, fully
automated on-line backup, retrieval and storage services through the Internet
from its data center in
35
Calgary. At its offices in Toronto, JAWZ provides financial information
technology security solutions services, including services in the area of
payment systems, including POS/ABM EFT switch implementation, point of sale
application and device integration, network architecture and design, system
integration and project management.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2000 (third fiscal quarter 2000) compared with
the three months ended September 30, 2000 (third fiscal quarter 1999)
JAWZ' total revenue increased by 1,021%, or $3,699,962, to $4,062,412 for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $362,450 in the three months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily a result of two key
factors. Roughly 50% of the revenue for the quarter was derived from the
continuation of the eFinancial Depot.com contract and the start of the CU
Connect contract. The second key factor is the integration and subsequent growth
associated with acquisitions of JAWZ (including PACE Systems, SDTC, Offsite,
Nucleus, General Network Systems, Betach Systems, Betach Advanced Systems and
4COMM.com).
Cost of sales increased to $1,796,634 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 from $0 in the three months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is
directly related to the increase in revenue discussed above and the direct and
identifiable costs associated with generating that business recorded as a cost
of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 259% to $5,325,509
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,482,150 in the three
months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily a result of the
continued growth of JAWZ' operations including geographic expansion, moving
JAWZ' products toward and into the commercialization stage and the expenses
related to the preparation of various marketing and sales documents and
materials, wages and benefits, requirements for office space, supplies and other
office related expenses.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased 247% to $172,390 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 from $49,631 in the three months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily a result of increased sales and
marketing activities related to moving JAWZ' products toward and into the
commercialization stage based on JAWZ vertical and geographical product and
consulting services strategies.
Interest expense, financing fees and amortization of debt discount
increased 54% to $322,540 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from
$209,099 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is due
primarily to underwriting fees associated with the private placements
transactions that occurred during the quarter.
Amortization expense was $1,977,569 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. This
increase was due to the amortization of goodwill and employee and consultants
base associated with JAWZ' acquisitions of Pace Systems, SDTC, Offsite, Nucleus,
Betach, GNS, and 4COMM.
JAWZ' net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was
$6,647,121 as compared with $1,406,025 for the three months ended September 30,
1999. This increase in the net loss is primarily due to the continued growth of
JAWZ' operations, moving JAWZ products toward and into the commercialization
stage. This includes geographic expansion and the expenses related to the
preparation of various marketing and sales documents and materials, payment of
wages and benefits, requirements for office space, supplies and other office
related expenses.
36
Nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared with the Nine Months ended
September 30, 1999
JAWZ' total revenue increased by $6,634,125 (1,780%) to $7,006,755 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $372,630 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily a result of two key factors.
Approximately 40% of the revenue was derived from the eFinancial Depot.com
contract and the CU Connect contract. The second key factor is the integration
and subsequent growth associated with acquisitions of JAWZ (including PACE
Systems, SDTC, Offsite, Nucleus, General Network Systems, Betach Systems, Betach
Advanced Systems and 4COMM.com).
Cost of sales increased to $2,676,745 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 from $0 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is
directly related to the increase in revenue above and the direct and
identifiable costs associated with generating that business recorded as a cost
of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 369% to $13,995,452
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $2,984,744 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily a result of the continued
growth of JAWZ' operations including geographic expansion, moving JAWZ products
toward and into the commercialization stage and the expenses related to the
preparation of various marketing and sales documents and materials, wages and
benefits, requirements for office space, supplies and other office related
expenses.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased 439% to $1,264,102 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $234,398 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily due to increased sales and
marketing activities related to moving JAWZ' products toward and into the
commercialization stage based on JAWZ vertical and geographical product and
consulting services strategies.
Interest expense, financing fees and amortization of debt discount
decreased by approximately 63% to $337,329 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 from $914,913 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This
decrease is due to the retirement of the convertible debentures (which occurred
in November, 1999) and the associated accelerated amortizations of the deferred
financing fees and debt discount.
Amortization expense was $4,721,652 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This
increase is primarily due to the amortization of goodwill and employee and
consultants base associated with JAWZ' acquisitions.
JAWZ' net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
$17,661,949 as compared with $3,839,135 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. This increase in the net loss is primarily due to the continued growth of
JAWZ' operations, moving JAWZ products toward and into the commercialization
stage. This includes geographic expansion and the expenses related to the
preparation of various marketing and sales documents and materials, payment of
wages and benefits, requirements for office space, supplies and other office
related expenses.

Litigation
Except as provided in Part II, Item 1 of JAWZ' Quarterly Report on form
10-Q, filed with the SEC on August 17, 2000, JAWZ is not a party to any material
pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to
the business of JAWZ which JAWZ does not believe is material.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was $15,783,938, compared with $4,170,626 as of December 31, 1999. These
increases are a result of the increased expenses incurred as noted above.
Cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2000 was $1,202,801,
compared with $8,430,701 at December 31, 1999. During the nine month period
ended September 30, 2000, JAWZ completed four private placements. The first
private placement financing of approximately $2,500,000 gross proceeds on
February 23, 2000, and an additional private placement for $4,000,000 gross
proceeds on June 22, 2000, the third and fourth private placements were for
$5,000,000 (each) gross proceeds, which were received through out the period
(together, the "Private Placement Transactions"). In addition, several options
and warrants were exercised during the nine month period ending September 30,
2000. These funds were used to fund current and anticipated losses from
operations. These funds will continue to be deployed primarily to fund
operations.
JAWZ has experienced net losses over the past three years and as of
September 30, 2000, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $28.0 million.
These losses are attributable to both cash losses and losses resulting from
costs incurred in the development of JAWZ' services and infrastructure as well
as non-cash interest and amortization charges. JAWZ expects operating losses to
continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop and promote its
services. Until such time as the Company achieves profitability and positive
cash flow, JAWZ believes that its existing cash and marketable securities
balances will be sufficient to fund JAWZ' operations through the near future. In
order to develop and promote its services and products, JAWZ will need, and is
considering, financing beyond this period including strategic partnerships,
public or private equity and/or debt financing. No assurance can be given,
however, that JAWZ will be able to obtain additional financing on terms
acceptable to the Company, if at all. If JAWZ fails to obtain financing, or
fails to obtain financing on terms favorable to JAWZ, JAWZ may be unable to
continue to complete the commercialization of its products, or continue its
current operations as presently conducted, if at all.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have increased 209% to $3,460,725
as of September 30, 2000 as compared to $1,118,521 as of December 31, 1999.
These increases are a result of the efforts of management to increase sales
revenue and grow JAWZ' operations and are consistent with the other expense
increases in the first nine months of the year 2000. JAWZ has anticipated and
budgeted for these increases to provide for the growth of operations.
Through acquisition, JAWZ has purchased a line of credit outside of trade
accounts, which JAWZ is in the process of retiring. JAWZ has not used any other
debt instruments to date, other than long-term capital leases and Thomson
Kernaghan's convertible debentures which were converted to equity.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities.
On August 22, 2000, JAWZ, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the
"Betach Agreement") with JAWS Acquisition Canada Corp., an Alberta, Canada
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAWZ ("JACC"), and each of the
other parties signatory thereto, pursuant to which JACC issued 1,120,000 JACC
exchangeable shares (the "Exchangeable Shares") to the shareholders of both
Betach Systems Inc. ("BSI") and the shareholders of Betach Advanced Solutions
Inc. ("BASI"), in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of BSI and BASI.
This transaction was consummated on September 7, 2000. Each Exchangeable Share
is exchangeable into one share of common stock of JAWZ pursuant to the terms set
forth in the relevant transaction documents.
Of the 1,120,000 Exchangeable Shares issued to the BSI and BASI
shareholders, holders of 375,335 Exchangeable Shares have certain registration
rights set forth in the Betach Agreement. Within 90 days of the closing, JAWZ
has agreed to include 373,335 shares of JAWZ common stock in a registration
statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register
the resale of such shares of JAWZ common stock in accordance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Upon effectiveness of such registration statement,
holders of the Exchangeable Shares can exchange such shares for shares of JAWZ
common stock, and may, subject to certain limitations, effect the resale
thereof.
Of the 1,120,000 Exchangeable Shares issued to the BSI and BASI
shareholders, JAWZ has placed 369,600 Exchangeable Shares in escrow, to be
released on the first anniversary of the closing date subject to certain revenue
targets.
On August 15, 2000, JAWZ entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with JACC, and
each of the other parties signatory thereto (the "4COMM Agreement"), pursuant to
which JAWZ, through JACC, agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of 4COMM.com Inc. ("4COMM"). This acquisition was consummated on
August 25, 2000. Pursuant to the 4COMM Agreement, JACC issued to the
shareholders of 4COMM 501,673 JACC shares exchangeable into shares of common
stock of JAWZ and placed 1,083,165 of these exchangeable shares in escrow. These
exchangeable shares, valued at US$3.2502 per exchangeable share, are releasable,
subject to certain earn-out provisions, to the shareholders of 4COMM. These
exchangeable shares will be released from escrow as follows: 1/3 on the first
anniversary of the closing date of the 4COMM acquisition, 1/3 on the second
anniversary of the closing date, and 1/3 on the third anniversary of the closing
date.
On August 15, 2000, JAWZ entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with JACC
and each of the other parties signatory thereto (the "GNS Agreement"), pursuant
to which JAWZ, through JACC, agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of General Network Services Inc. ("GNS"). This acquisition was
consummated on August 25, 2000. Pursuant to the GNS Agreement, JACC issued to
the shareholders of GNS 110,894 restricted shares of JAWZ common stock and
placed 392,156 shares exchangeable into shares of common stock of JAWZ to be
delivered into escrow for release to the selling shareholders over a period of
two years, with the number of exchangeable shares to be released dependent upon
certain performance requirements of two key GNS employees over that same period.
On June 22, 2000, JAWZ completed a private placement transaction with two
institutional investors. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered
into in connection with this transaction, the investors were obligated to
purchase an additional 400,000 shares of common stock in exchange for a purchase
price of $2,000,000. This placement was consummated on July 17, 2000. The
investors also received warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of JAWZ common stock
at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.
In connection with this transaction, the investors also received five-year
adjustable warrants to purchase shares of JAWS common stock at an exercise price
of $.001 per share. The exact number of shares is to be determined using a
formula that is applied at three separate 40 day adjustment periods commencing
between the 150th and 240th day following June 22, 2000.
39
In addition to the foregoing, JAWZ has granted these investors certain
demand and "piggyback" registration and related rights in respect of the shares
of common stock purchased and those shares underlying the warrants and
adjustable warrants.
On August 21, 2000, in connection with a private placement financing
agreement entered into on August 21, 2000, JAWZ issued 600,000 shares of common
stock a warrant to purchase 180,000 shares of common stock of JAWZ at an
exercise price of $5.00 per share, for an aggregate price of $3,000,000. Each
warrant will expire on August 21, 2005. In addition, each investor is entitled
to receive a number of warrants adjustable pursuant to a formula to purchase a
number of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.
Additionally, pursuant to the same agreement, on October 2, 2000, JAWZ
issued 400,000 additional shares of common stock and 120,000 purchase warrants
which entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise
price of $5.00 per share, for an aggregate price of $2,000,000.
In each case set forth in this Part II, Item 2, the securities were issued
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, under Regulation S. Each person who received shares of
JAWZ, or shares exchangeable for shares of common stock of JAWZ, warranted to
JAWZ it was not a "U.S. Person", as such term is defined in Rule 92(k) of
Regulation S, that the securities have not been offered to it in the United
States and that offers of securities of JAWZ shall not be made to "U.S. Persons"
for a period of one year from the closing of all debentures offered pursuant to
the agreement.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On September 29, 2000 JAWZ amended its certificate of incorporation to
change its name from "JAWS Technologies, Inc." to "JAWZ Inc." Such amendment was
effected after obtaining requisite stockholder approval at a meeting of the
stockholders held on September 29, 2000, at the offices of Paul, Hastings,
Janofsky & Walker LLP, 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, counsel to
JAWZ. At the stockholders meeting, 18,904,025 shares were entitled to a vote and
18,904,025 shares were voted in favor of the name change and there were no votes
against (or abstaining from voting for or against) the name change. The name
change was approved by JAWZ' board of directors.
