NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
--------------------------------------
On January 12, 2002, International Mercantile Corporation acquired
Solutions Technology, Inc. ("STI"), formerly known as Clickese.com
("Clickese") for 20,511,365 shares of the Class A common stock, and
the former owners of STI acquired the 1,142,858 shares of the Class B
common stock for $1. Upon this acquisition, STI became a wholly owned
subsidiary of International Mercantile Corporation. STI designs,
develops and manufactures biometrical time clocks for tracking
employees' time and attendance.
On February 14, 2002, International Mercantile Corporation changed its
name to T & G2 (the "Company"). In addition, the Company changed its
domicile to Nevada, which brought about a reverse 8 to 1 stock split,
and a change in the par value of the stock to $0.001.
In addition to STI being a wholly owned subsidiary, the Company
acquired Zingo Sales Ltd. ("Zingo") in March 2002 in a 2,500,000 share
Class A common stock acquisition. Zingo's mission is to design,
develop, manufacture and market easy to use complete solutions using
the latest available technologies. Their first product is a fixed
based bingo unit, for which sales have been generated late in 2002.
The software developed for this product is just as advanced if not
more advanced than any product in the market at this time.
In November 2002, the Company issued a board resolution authorizing an
increase to the authorized capital to 100,000,000 Class A common
shares and the Class B common shares to remain at the 2,000,000 share
level. In February 2003, the Company issued another board resolution
authorizing a further increase in its authorized capital. Under this
resolution, the Company increased its Class A common shares and Class
B common shares to 250,000,000 shares and 5,000,000 shares authorized,
respectively. With this change, the Company issued a board resolution
to cancel the 1,142,858 Class B common shares, and issue to its
officers 2,500,000 Class B common shares each (5,000,000 total) at par
value.
On April 25, 2001, Secure Time, Inc. merged into Clickese.com at which
time the resulting company changed its name to STI. The transaction
was valued at $1 per share for 10,500,000 shares.
International Mercantile Corporation was originally incorporated in
the State of Missouri, on March 10, 1971. Their business purpose
included among other things, maintaining an Internet based personal
computer manufacturing business selling build-to-order systems
throughout the United States to value added retailers and other
marketers of micro-computer systems. The Company has terminated all of
these business activities.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 condensed consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
----------------------------
Commencing in 2002, the Company started generating revenues. The
Company currently records its revenue on the accrual basis, whereby
revenue is recognized upon the sales orders being placed.
Cost is recorded on the accrual basis, when the purchase orders are
placed, and operating costs are incurred rather than paid for.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other
short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at several
financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
Fixed Assets
------------
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the
assets.
Furniture and fixtures 7 Years
Office equipment 3 to 5 Years
Equipment - Zingo Sales 1.5 Years
Time clock equipment 1.5 Years
Time clock software 3 Years

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
------------------------------------------------------
Income Taxes
------------
The income tax benefit is computed on the pretax loss based on the
current tax law. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each
year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates.
Advertising
-----------
Costs of advertising and marketing are expensed as incurred.
Advertising and marketing costs were $117,772 and $166,175 for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
-----------------------------------------
Historical net income (loss) per common share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per share (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock
equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock
options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a
loss because to do so would be antidilutive for the periods presented.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and
diluted EPS:

------------------------------------------
(CONTINUED)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock (Continued)
-----------------------------------------
Options and warrants outstanding to purchase stock were not included
in the computation of diluted EPS because inclusion would have been
antidilutive.
Software Development Costs
--------------------------
Internal use software costs are recorded in accordance with Statement
of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". Qualifying costs
incurred during the application development stage, which consist
primarily of outside services are capitalized and amortized over the
estimated useful life of the asset. All other costs are expensed as
incurred. The Company has determined that all costs for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, do not relate to the application
development stage and therefore have expensed these costs as they were
incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
The carrying amount reported in the condensed consolidated balance
sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair value
because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial
instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25), and
related interpretations, in accounting for their employee stock
options rather than the alternative fair value accounting allowed by
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and has
adopted the enhanced disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosures", an amendment of SFAS No. 123. APB No. 25 provides that
the compensation expense relative to the Company's employee stock
options is measured based on the intrinsic value of the stock option.
SFAS No. 123 requires companies that continue to follow APB No. 25 to
provide a pro-forma disclosure of the impact of applying the fair
value method of SFAS No. 123.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2002 have been
reclassified to conform to the presentation of the June 30, 2003
amounts. The reclassifications have no effect on net income for the
six months ended June 30, 2002.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".
SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivative contracts
as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure
them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be
specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match
the timing of the gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative
with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the
hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or
(ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a
derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is
recognized in income in the period of change. On June 30, 1999, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 133". SFAS No. 133 as amended by SFAS No. 137 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June
2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 as amended
by SFAS No. 137 and 138 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts
to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the
Company does not expect adoption of the new standard to have a
material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance for revenue recognition under
certain circumstances, and is effective during the first quarter of
fiscal year 2001. SAB 101 is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations, financial
position and cash flows.
On March 16, 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 99-19
"Recording Revenue as a Principal versus Net as an Agent" which
addresses the issue of how and when revenues should be recognized on a
Gross or Net method as the title implies. The Emerging Issues Task
Force has not reached a consensus but sites SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin 101. EITF 99-19 does not affect the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
--------------------------------
On July 20, 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 00-14
"Accounting For Certain Sales Incentives" which establishes accounting
and reporting requirements for sales incentives such as discounts,
coupons, rebates and free products or services. Generally, reductions
in or refunds of a selling price should be classified as a reduction
in revenue. For SEC registrants, the implementation date is the
beginning of the fourth quarter after the registrant's fiscal year end
December 15, 1999. EITF 00-14 does not currently affect the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets". This Statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. It addresses how
intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of
other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should
be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This
Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets
should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in
the financial statements. This statement has been considered when
determining impairment of goodwill in certain transactions.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 123"("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide
alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily
changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of
that Statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on
reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with
respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this Statement
amends Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 28, "Interim
Financial Reporting", to require disclosure about those effects in
interim financial information. SFAS 148 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The
Company will continue to account for stock-based employee compensation
using the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees", but has adopted the enhanced
disclosure requirements of SFAS 148.

NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN
-------------
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements, the Company incurred additional net losses for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and incurred substantial net losses for the
year ended December 31, 2002. There is no guarantee whether the
Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital
to support those operations. This raises substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management also states that they are confident that they can improve
operations and raise the appropriate funds needed through the
advancements in STI and Zingo over the last six months (See Note 13).
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS
-----------
The Company's Zingo products have received clearance in certain
jurisdictions in the western and northwestern regions of the United
States as a Class 2 gaming device. With this clearance, the Company
has entered into agreements for the installation of 75 units as of
June 30, 2003, and approximately an additional 50 units since June 30,
2003.
In November, the Company installed its Securetime system in a
restaurant at a major Las Vegas, Nevada casino. The Company has also
received an order for the Securetime system from a Native American
business in Oklahoma and the installation was completed in late
November. Both of these installations signed contracts for continuing
and ongoing services in March 2003. The Company also installed a
Securetime system in a junior college in Arizona in June 2003.
NOTE 12 - LITIGATION
----------
An action commenced on or about March 28, 2002 in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York. In that action, the plaintiff seeks $40,000 in
damages from the Company as well as other defendants listed in this
action, allegedly sustained as a result of third party payments made
on behalf of all defendants, including, but not limited to the
Company. An answer denying all material allegations was served upon
the Plaintiff on May 1, 2002, within the time allotted by law to do
so. Management is of the belief that all allegations involved in this
action will be dismissed. No liability is recorded for this action as
of June 30, 2003.

- ---------------------------------
Controls and Procedures under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
Within 90 days prior to the date of this quarterly report on form 10-QSB for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company's President, acting as its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange act
of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the President concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to
material information relating to the Company required to be included in the
Company's periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of the President's most recent evaluation, including any
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions
and Results of Operations
------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
- ------------
The following discussion and analysis highlights the financial position of T &
G2 (squared), Inc. (the "Company" or "us") at June 30, 2003 and compared to the
second quarter ended June 30, 2002 and plan of operations for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Financial information contained within
this report is condensed and reviewed. It is important to note that the Company
had no operations in the year 2001 and in early 2002 and had a primary goal of
organizing the overall company and the two new businesses that where acquired to
be the operating entities for the Company. In the year of 2002 T & G2 (formerly
known as International Mercantile Corporation) changed its name to the current
name the Company goes under (T & G2), effectuated a 1 for 8 reverse split and
acquired two companies - Solutions Technology and Zingo Sales, Ltd. The business
activities of the Company are now that of the two wholly owned subsidiaries.
Comparisons are provided below but the Company is not yet able to show a
year-by-year comparison of business activities. In reviewing the Company's
numbers in this report, it must be remembered that it essentially shows the
first year of operations in the Company's two wholly owned subsidiaries. In
2002, the Company was mainly focused on research and development and testing of
the new products developed in the subsidiary companies. It is only in the last
90 days that the Company has begun to develop a market for its products and it
is in this time that sales have been realized on a significant level.
Certain statements in this Form 10-QSB, including information set forth under
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result
of Operations constitute `forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). Such
forward-looking statements are identified by words such as "intends,"
"anticipates," "hopes," and "expects," among others, and include, without
limitation, statements regarding the Company's plan of business operations,
anticipated revenues, related expenditures, and the results of any business
transactions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
include, among others, the following: acceptability of the Company's services in
the market place, general economic conditions, political and economic conditions
in the United States and abroad, and competition. Investors are cautioned not to
put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required
by applicable securities statutes or regulations, the Company disclaims any
intent to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
Plan of Operation
- -----------------
The Company's management entered into a transaction for funding in the form of a
debt financing. Additionally, business combinations with entities with
significant cash will also be considered. It now seems to be a forgone
conclusion that a sufficient amount of money will be funded for management to
execute it's business plan and succeed. However, until this transaction actually
does fund, there can be no assurance that a closing will take place. There were
two other financing arrangements that the Company entered into, in the past
year, issuing a total of 100,000,000 million shares. Both of these transactions
never closed and the Company therefore has cancelled these shares during the
second quarter and the subsequent third quarter of 2003. Additionally, the
Company achieved a listing on the third level of the Berlin Stock Exchange.
Active trading for the Company's shares began in the first week of July. It is
anticipated in September when the European markets become livelier, that the
Company will greatly improve upon its chances to raise capital if such capital
is needed. For the following six-month period from July, 2003 to December, 2003
it is anticipated, absent the Company's obtaining other sources of liquidity as
described above, the Company's primary funding for ongoing corporate expenses,
such as legal and accounting fees and filing fees, will be provided by the
private sale of the Company's securities and from operating activities.
Thereafter, in the third and fourth quarters, the Company anticipates to further
expand and generate revenues from the sale of their time clocks and computerized
class two gaming systems. The Company's management has had ongoing discussions
with investment bankers pertaining to additional financing as a backup or second
3
option in the case that the transaction already entered into by the Company does
not close. This would include a possible stair step-financing plan. This may
encompass a first and second level of private placements, bridge financing, and
mezzanine financing. However, there can be no assurance management will be
successful in these endeavors. However, with the listing on the Berlin Exchange,
the Company has greatly increased its chances of success for capital raising.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
For the six-months ended June, 2003, the Company used $339,850 in operating
activities compared to $371,816 for the six-months ended June, 2002. Most noted
in the comparative periods in cash used for operations is attributable to the
issuances of stock for the acquisition of Both Solutions Technology, Inc and
Zingo Sales, Ltd. for which the Company recorded $3,177,556 as impairment of
goodwill and $4,875,000 written off to organizational cost respectively in 2002.
In the first six months of 2003, the majority of expense was related to the
Company issuing shares to consultants. The actual cash used was mainly for the
marketing and distribution of the Company's products. The first and second
quarter of 2003 shows an increase in actual cash used and the issuance of stock
for consulting fees for the development of the Company's business operations.
These increases were to improve the distribution for the current product lines
and to increase the visibility of the Company in the business community. These
fees to consultants have paid significant dividends to the Company as can be
seen by the substantial growth in placement of the Company's gaming units. The
Company has made significant progress with respect to future funding. Funding is
expected shortly, which will enable the Company to market, and produce its
products. We anticipate that going forward; we will streamline administrative,
and professional fees to conserve cash flow. Once the significant recognition of
revenues occurs, certain expenses will increase, but only in accordance with the
increase in revenues.
Going Concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and at June 30, 2003, had a working capital deficit. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty. However, the Company has realized installations for
approximately 50 of its bingo units, with an additional 75 units to be installed
by the end of August bringing the total units in operation to 125. The Company
has many pending orders that should be realized by the end of the year. It now
appears that the Company has a realistic chance to reach cash flow positive by
the end of the fourth quarter (December, 2003) of this year. The Company is also
in the process of creating new distribution for the gaming units in other
untapped jurisdictions. The Gaming subsidiary, Zingo Sales should not only grow
substantially through the end of 2003, but should experience a possible increase
in distribution and placement of its product through 2004. On another note, The
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Solutions Technology, is now in the process
of putting into place numerous distribution and sales agreements for the
SecureTime System. It is anticipated that the new distribution currently being
set up for the Time and Attendance product will begin to show significant gains
in the near future. Solutions Technology is expected to begin contributing to
the overall sales of the company in a significant way in early 2004.

directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):
a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
internal controls which could adversely affect the registrant's
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data
and have identified for the registrant's auditors any material
weaknesses in internal controls; and

other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
internal controls; and
6. I have indicated in this quarterly report whether or not there were
significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of
our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
