Part 1. Financial Information
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Scientio, Inc. ("The Registrant") was incorporated in the State of
Delaware on December 11, 2000. It is engaged in the development,
marketing and support of software components that can be used to
analyze data (data mining) flowing the XML (extensible markup
language) protocol between computers over the internet or
intranets. The Registrant has not yet generated any sales to date.
The Registrant has completed development and is offering for sale
its first datamining software product, the XML Miner package
version 1.0. The package contains three components, XML Miner, XML
Rule and Strucfind. Also being worked on is an XML Rule package
which will contain two components, XML Rule and a Rule Editor. The
targeted customers are software developers.
While the XML Miner Package has been installed and running on the
Registrant's web site, offering online demonstrations of its
performance in two distinct application areas, it has not yet sold
any units of XML Miner or the XML Miner Package nor has the
Registrant's technology been installed to date by any business and
no assurance can be given that its technology will work in an
operational setting. To date, the Registrant has not entered into
any joint venture or general consultancy agreements nor licensed
any of its technology to software development companies.
On December 8, 2000, Modern Technology Corp ('Modern') entered into
an agreement with Andrew Edmonds, President and Anneke Edmonds,
principal shareholder, to form Scientio. Modern agreed to purchase
403,000 shares of Scientio, representing 20% of the outstanding
shares, for an investment of $188,500 and an additional investment
of up to $50,000 to cover the costs of registering those shares and
distributing them to shareholders of Modern.
A registration statement for the 403,000 shares owned by Modern
Technology Corp was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. On September 24, 2001, the registration statement was
declared effective. During the first week of October 2001, the
403,000 shares were distributed to Modern's shareholders.
The Registrant is in the development stage, not yet generating any
revenues. Over the next twelve months, the Registrant does not
anticipate the purchase of any significant amount of plant or
equipment and does not anticipate any significant changes in the
number of company employees (presently there are 3 employees).
During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Registrant had a
net loss of $42,096. During the period from inception (December
11, 2000) to June 30, 2001, the Registrant generated a net loss of
$91,276. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the
Registrant's expenses consisted of general and administrative items
amounting to $12,682, Officer's salary to the Registrant's
president amounting to $29,016, professional fees, mainly legal and
accounting, amounting to $289 and depreciation of $340. The
Registrant generated interest income of $231 for the three months
ended June 30, 2001.
For the period from inception (December 11, 2000) to June 30, 2001,
the Registrant's expenses consisted of general and administrative
expenses of $21,499, officer's salary of $59,203 (paid to the
Registrant's president), professional fees (primarily legal and
accounting expenses) of $10,392 and depreciation of $588. $406 of
interest income was generated for this period.
As of June 30, 2001, the Registrant had total assets of $128,945,
consisting of $103,594 of cash and cash equivalents, fixed assets
of $5,328 and Deferred Registration Costs of $20,023. Total
liabilities amounted to $49 with shareholders' equity of $128,896.
The Registrant received its initial funding from Modern, one of its
principal shareholders. As of June 30, 2001, Modern invested
$188,500. Management believes these funds will be sufficient to
cover working capital needs through March 31, 2002. The Registrant
will need to raise an additional $50,000-$100,000 over the next 12
months. There are presently no commitments for any additional
financing.
The only officer entitled to compensation is Andrew Edmonds, the
President of the Company. Dr. Edmonds devotes his full time to
the business of the Registrant. Pursuant to the shareholder's
agreement of December 8, 2000 (signed with Modern Technology Corp),
Dr. Edmonds is to be paid a minimum salary of $90,000 on or before
December 8, 2001. Dr. Edmonds has agreed to transfer to the
Company all improvements of the Registrant's products and any new
software products he develops for a three year period ending
December 8, 2003. In the event this salary is not paid to Dr.
Edmonds, he will be free of the three year restriction provided all
shares issued to Mrs. Edmonds (owner of 1,591,850 shares of the
Registrant, representing a 79% ownership interest) are returned to
the treasury of the Registrant.
The Registrant is paying rent monthly of about $1,700 to Anneke
Edmonds, treasurer and director, for use of two rooms (about 300
square feet) in Mrs. Edmond's home under an oral agreement on a
month by month basis. Included in the rental are monthly payments
for telephone, utilities and use of equipment, computers and
software owned by Andrew and Anneke Edmonds. Management believes
the amount paid is equivalent to or less than current market rental
rates. Anneke Edmonds, treasurer and chief financial
officer/director, and Arthur Seidenfeld, secretary and director,
both are non paid officers/directors.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities. None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None.
Item 5. Other Materially Important Events. None.
Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K. None.

of XML products' defined as XML Miner, XML Rule and Strucfind. These
products mine XML code to find relationships and predict values using
fuzzy-logic rules, then apply them to web sites, applications, or
anywhere that a COM control or Java bean can be used.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FOR THE PERIOD DECEMBER 11, 2000 (INCEPTION) TO JUNE 30, 2001

(Continued)
Estimates in Financial Statements
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." SFAS 109 has as its basic objective the recognition of
current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon all
events that have been recognized in the financial statements as
measured by the provisions of the enacted tax laws.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the estimated amount to be realized. Income
tax expense represents the tax payable for the current period and the
change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.
NOTE 3: DEFERRED REGISTRATION COSTS
For the period December 11, 2000 (inception) through June 30, 2001,
the Company has incurred deferred registration costs of $20,023
relating to expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed
Distribution (see Note 9). Upon consummation of this Proposed
Distribution, the deferred registration costs will be charged to
equity. Should the Proposed Distribution prove to be unsuccessful,
these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred,
will be charged to operations.
NOTE 4: OFFICER SALARY AND PROFESSIONAL FEES
The company has an agreement with its president to complete and
maintain the company's product. In this agreement, the company agrees
to pay the officer at least $90,000 per annum. The officer has
received $30,187 and $29,016 for the period December 11, 2000
(inception) to March 31, 2001 and for the period April 1, 2001 to
June 30, 2001, respectively.

NOTE 5: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The person who performed services in relation to the formation of the
corporation received 20,150 common shares approximating the fair
market value of $9,471. This amount was charged to professional fees
during the period ended March 31, 2001. This stock based
compensation plan is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123.
NOTE 6: TRANSFERS OF NONMONETARY ASSETS BY SHAREHOLDERS
According to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff
Accounting Bulleting 48, when the company acquires assets from
shareholders in exchange for stock just prior to its first public
offering, the assets should generally be recorded at cost to the
shareholder. On December 15, 2000, the company acquired software from
a shareholder and recorded the software at a cost of $1,592 (the cost
to the shareholder).
NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accrued at the statutory U.S. and state income tax
rates.
Income tax expense is as follows:
