AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES History Worldwide Farm Equipment Auctions.Com Ltd (the Company or WFEA) was incorporated in Saskatchewan, Canada on July 17, 2000. Until October 2001, the Company was engaged in the research and development (R&D) of software to enable the interface of internet bidding with live auctions, thereby increasing the number of participants bidding on products offered for sale by customers. Until that date, the Company was in the development stage as set forth in SFAS #7, spending the majority of its time raising equity financing and conducting R&D activities. By October 2001, the Company completed its software development and began offering the software under licensing arrangements to its customers in Canada and the United States, resulting in substantial operating revenues. The Company's fiscal year end is September 30. Principles of Consolidation The Company's consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2003 include the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and its 100 % owned subsidiary, Live Global Communications USA Incorporated (LGB), a Nevada corporation formed June 23, 2003, to facilitate the sale of the Company's products in the United States. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company occasionally maintains its bank account balance in excess of federally insured limits. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Consolidated financial statements" ("SAB No.101") and related authoritative pronouncements. License fee income is recognized as revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) all significant obligations have been performed pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility of amounts is reasonably assured. The Company licenses software under cancelable license agreements over varying periods. Software licensing fee revenue is recognized upon software installation and acceptance. Such revenue also includes charges for program modifications required to meet customer requirements, and all other initial or total fees required to be paid prior to installation. Software commission revenue is recognized upon billings rendered for software activation on the internet during live auctions. which involve either a "post" or "sale per item charge, or both, for items featured prior to or at the time bidding occurs.. This category also includes amortization of annual software update fees charged in lieu of commissions. Other revenue includes non-recurring charges for consulting, training and software demonstrations. Revenues from government grants relating F-6 7 NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued to research and development of the Company's products are recognized as a direct reduction of research and development expenses in the year such amounts are determined. Software Licensing Costs WFEA's cost of licensing software includes those costs relating to employee compensation, their travel, benefits and communication, facility costs in which those employees operate, and customer software installation, modification and maintenance. This category also includes all software development costs for software enhancements not included as part of R&D expenses. Capitalized Software Research and Development Costs Software R&D costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense as incurred, a separate component of operating expense. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model, which is typically demonstrated after initial beta testing is completed. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the time a product's technological feasibility has been established, through the time the product is available for general release to customers, are capitalized if material. To date, software research and development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility have been immaterial and accordingly have not been capitalized. Software research and development costs are charged to research and development expense as incurred. No such expense was incurred during fiscal 2003 or 2002. Refundable foreign ITC tax credits or foreign government grants, amounted to $80,000 and $62,000, respectively, for 2003 and 2002, which are recorded as a direct reduction of licensing costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Patent costs Patent costs relating to the Company's several patent applications are capitalized and will be amortized over the period of expected benefit commencing in the year Letters Patent are issued. Foreign Currency The functional currencies of the Company's foreign operations are the local currencies. The consolidated financial statements of the Company's foreign bank accounts have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Amounts contained in the statements of operations have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. Accumulated net translation adjustments have been reported separately as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 130. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in gains or (losses) net of taxes in 2003 of $8,543 and $842 in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Foreign currency transaction losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency totaled $16,000 and nil in fiscal 2003 and in 2002, respectively, and are included in other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. F-7 8 NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Start up Costs Costs of start-up activities, including organization costs, are expensed as incurred for financial reporting purposes. Earnings (loss) Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated financial statements The preparation of consolidated 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. NOTE 2 - DISTRIBUTIONS IN EXCESS OF LEGALLY STATED CAPITAL During fiscal 2003, the Company paid approximately $84,221 towards the purchase of substantially all of the outstanding stock of a publicly held shell company on behalf of the Company's shareholders. These payments were made at a time when the Company had no retained earnings and were therefore classified as a separate component of equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as "Distributions in excess of legally stated capital". NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES Income taxes in are provided for using the liability method of accounting. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary difference between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to more likely than not be realized in future tax returns. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted. There was no current federal or foreign income tax provision or benefit for fiscal year 2002, nor were there any recorded deferred income tax assets as such amounts applied to only foreign operations and were completely offset by a valuation allowance. For fiscal year 2003, the Company believed it would be able to utilize all deferred foreign income tax assets, and, accordingly, has removed its former valuation allowance. The following is an analysis of deferred tax assets for the year 2003. The income tax on US operations was immaterial. The Company's foreign net operating loss carryover of $925,446 and tax credits of $108,000 expires, if unused in 7 years from 2002.

As of September 30, 2003, 415,175 options have been exercised for $426,202, of which 291,842 shares have not been issued pending receipt of $299,595. There were 287,499 unexercised options outstanding at September 30, 2003. All options granted were issued as part of the total amount received for certain shares issued and no separate value or compensation was associated or involved with the original of grant of the options. F-9 10 NOTE 5 - THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards and their effect on the Company. SFAS 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure Amends FASB 123 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. SFAS 149 Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement NO. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 150 Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity This Statement requires that such instruments be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46) Effective January 31, 2003, The Financial Accounting Standards Board requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a continuing financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company has not invested in any such entities, and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The adoption of these new Statements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results or operations, or cash flows. NOTE 6 - SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS Revenues generated from customers comprising more than 10% of sales during the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were as follows: All sales were generated from the use of the Company's only product, its live bidding software completed in October 2001. 2003 2002 -------- -------- Customer A 52% 81% Customer B 15% Software licensing and commissions are concentrated and dependent on live auction markets which are diverse, worldwide. Operating Leases-Office Facilities The Company conducts its operations from three separate facilities, Regina and F-10 11 NOTE 6 - SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS - continued Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada and Las Vegas Nevada. The first two are leased under five-year noncancelable operating leases expiring in 2007. The latter is a 12 month service agreement expiring in June 2004. There are no options to renew these agreements. The lessor of the Moose Jaw facility is White Sales & Auction, Ltd. (WSA) a Company owned by the founder/ CEO/president of the Company, which includes a leaseback to WSA for a monthly rental of $318, plus taxes. Operating Leases-Equipment The Company leases vehicles and computer systems under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2007. Lease expense for offices and equipment amounted to $33,779 and $2,909 in 2003 and 2002. Sublease rentals amounted to $3,813 and $0 in 2003 and 2002. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments, exclusive of all executory costs, required under the above operating leases that have remaining terms in excess of one year as of September 30 2003: Year Ending September 30, Offices Equipment ------------------------- --------- ---------- 2004 $ 38,892 $ 50,518 2005 37,359 42,884 2006 37,359 29,090 2007 37,359 10,988 2008 4,587 0 --------- ---------- $ 155,556 $133,480 ========= ========== Litigation Pending A claim has been made against the Company by a former employee alleging the Company owes the claimant 37,500 shares of Class A common stock for services performed. The Company believes the employee did not fulfill his obligation under the agreement and therefore the agreement fails for lack of performance. Management of the Company believes that its liability for damages seems remote. NOTE 8 - SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131,"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Our chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Company's CEO. The CEO reviews and evaluates financial information presented on a group basis as described below. Management evaluates performance of its two segments based on their continuing operations, financial position and profit or loss. The operations of the Company for the United States and Canada were conducted from offices in Canada until June 2003, at which time it formed a subsidiary, LGB, in Las Vegas, Nevada to conduct sales efforts for the United States from that location, which has one employee. All United States sales contacts require approval, licensing, software installation, and maintenance from Canada. Substantially all costs relating to the United States sales contracts are initially incurred in Canada, but are billed and collected through the office in the United States. The Company transferred all of its United States contracts to F-11 12 NOTE 8 - SEGMENT INFORMATION - continued the subsidiary effective July 1, 2003 for $558,000, and billed them $185,000 for the 3 months ended September 30, 2003, as a management fee inclusive of all services provided by the parent company, including software cost, installation, modification and maintenance. The table below presents revenues and EBT for reported segments in thousands. There was only one segment for 2002, which was foreign only: Intersegment 2003 LGB WFEA Amounts TOTAL - ----- -------- -------- ---------- -------- Revenues $ 234 $1,537 $ (743) $1,028 EBT 9 389 (508) (110) Total assets 616 1,223 (1,201) 638 Specific items included in segment EBT for the year ended September 30, 2003 were as follows (in thousands): LGB WFEA -------- -------- Revenues from external customers $ 234 $ 772 Intersegment revenues 743 Wage program revenues 16 Interest income 3 Interest expense 3 Segment assets of LGB include goodwill relating to the purchase of customer contracts from WFEA and cash in bank. Segment assets of WFEA include accounts receivable trade and intercompany, deferred tax assets, patent costs, foreign tax credits receivable and cash. Neither company has any capitalized fixed assets or property as those items are either classified as operating leases. Segment revenues, EBT and total assets differ from consolidated amounts due to intercompany amounts which have been eliminated in consolidation. NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Predecessor Activities R&D costs incurred prior to achieving technological feasibility of the Company's software was initially incurred and paid for by WSA. In consideration for WSA assigning its interest in the technology it transferred to the Company, the Company issued 325,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the founder. An additional 375,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company were issued to a number of individuals who paid for them directly to WSA in furtherance of the research and development activities prior to incorporation of the Company. All shares were recorded at no value, since the related consideration was pre-incorporation research and development costs for software transferred to the Company, prior to its technological feasibility stage as required for commencement of capitalized costs. Advances From Related Party WSA continued to finance the R&D for the Company's software and related office overhead for a period of many months after WFEA was formed, since the Company lacked adequate capital, financing and credibility. As equity financing came to the Company, WSA was reimbursed for costs and expenses attributed to the Company which amounted to $130,509, and $207,711 during the years ended September 30, F-12 13 NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - continued 2003, and 2002. The Company owed WSA $76,614 at September 30, 2003 which is included as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company's founder, the owner of WSA, was advanced $12,216 as of September 30, 2003. Also included in accounts receivable-related parties, is an advance to the CFO of the Company for $32,007 as part of the total amount the Company paid to acquire a publicly held shell company as described below. There is no interest or collateral applicable to these advances. NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Stock Exchange Transaction As of September 30, 2003 the Company was negotiating with the management of Dakota Distribution, Inc. (Dakota), a Nevada corporation to exchange all of the common stock of the Company for newly issued shares of Dakota and the majority of its outstanding stock to effect a recapitalization of the Company. As mentioned above, the Company had paid on behalf of its shareholders, $84,221 towards the acquisition of substantially all of the shell's outstanding stock. WFEA became the legal subsidiary of Dakota on December 3, 2003, the date of the definitive stock exchange agreement, at which time Dakota changed its name to Live Global Bid, Inc. For accounting purposes, the consolidated financial statements as of the date of the stock exchange transaction will be those of the Company, at historical cost, consolidated with Dakota using fair value for the Dakota's assets and liabilities then in existence, which were nil. The Company will be considered the accounting acquirer. The Company will be required to file a Form 8-K/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 75 days of the completion of the stock exchange transaction with Dakota to include certain historical financial information. The Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the near term. As a result of the Company choosing to "go public", it has and will, and continue to have, significant audit, legal and other expenses in meeting the periodic and annual filing requirements imposed by Securities Act rules.
