Independent Accountants' Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Swap and Shop.net Corp.
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Swap and Shop.net Corp. as of
August 31, 2004 and May 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, for
the three-month periods ended August 31, 2004 and from inception, March 1, 2004,
through August 31, 2003, the statement of changes in stockholders' equity from
March 1, 2004, through August 31, 2004, and the statement of cash flows for the
three-month periods ended August 31, 2004 and from inception, March 1, 2004
through August 31, 2003, in accordance with Statements on Standards for
Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is
the representation of the management of Swap and Shop.net Corp.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
NOTE A - HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Swap and Shop.net Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Florida on March 1, 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of eCom eCom.com,
Inc.("eCom") which trades on the OTC/Pink Sheets under the symbol 'ECEC.' The
Company's main office is located at 100 Village Square Crossing, Suite 202, Palm
Beach Gardens, Florida 33410, and the telephone number is (561) 207-6395.
On February 12, 1999, eCom Company acquired the rights to the completed
technology, customer lists and domain names for the Swap and Shop web site and
formed a division called Swap and Shop.net Corp.
The Spin-Off.
The Company was one of ten (10) wholly owned subsidiaries of
eCom, with varying business plans. In recent years, eCom concluded that it did
not have the financial resources necessary to develop all ten (10) of its
business units collectively. Pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4, eCom
decided to spin off its subsidiaries into independent companies in the belief
that independent companies, each with a distinct business, would be better able
to obtain necessary funding and develop their business plans. This belief was
based in part on eCom's experience with potential business partners which
sought involvement with only one of eCom's subsidiaries, rather than
involvement with the multi-faceted eCom.
On December 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin-off
eCom's ten (10) operating subsidiary companies.
On December 18, 2003, USA SportsNet, Inc. entered into a definitive Asset
Acquisition Agreement with American Capital Holdings, Inc.,("American Capital")
The Date of Record for the first spin-off, USA SportsNet, Inc. (later renamed
American Capital Holdings, Inc., Cusip No. 02503V 10 9/SEC CIK No. 0001288010)
was January 5, 2004. The Date of Record for the second spin-off, MyZipSoft,
Inc. (Standard & Poor's Cusip No. 628703 10 0/SEC CIK No. 0001290785) was
February 23, 2004, and the shares of MyZipSoft were distributed to its
shareholders on June 2, 2005.
On March 2, 2004, the Board of Directors of eCom approved
the spinoff of Swap and Shop.net Corp. and the remaining seven (7) spin off
companies in which the Board of Directors voted to issue to their shareholders
one (1) share of the company for every one (1) share of eCom owned with a
record date to be announced, pursuant to the advice of SEC Staff Legal Bulletin
No. 4.

NOTE A - HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
On March 29, 2004, eCom Chairman and CEO David Panaia prepared and issued a
Press Release announcing the appointment of Barney A. Richmond as President of
eCom. A copy of this press release appended hereto as Exhibit No. 1. Paragraph
two (2) of this release stated the following:
"The plan to spin-off eCom's ten wholly owned subsidiaries has been completed
and the Company is now in the process of acquiring certain businesses for each
spin-off. To date, the Company has accomplished two (2) acquisitions and has
four (4) more under agreement. When announced, eCom shareholders as of the
Date of Payment (distribution of stock) for each spin-off will receive new
shares in that company."
On April 14, 2004, eCom filed Form 10QSB, file number 000-23617, accession
number 0001000459-04-000005. As stated in ITEM 2, Management's Discussion and
Analysis, 'All ten (10) business subsidiaries have been spun off into
independent operating public companies.'
On May 24, 2004, American Capital Holdings, Inc., a spin-off of eCom formerly
known as USA SportsNet, Inc., filed a Form 10SB, file number 000-50776,
accession number 0001288012-04-000001,SEC CIK number 0001288012,with the United
States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"). On July 27, 2004 American
Capital Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10SB was ruled effective by the SEC.
On June 4, 2004, a corporate resolution was proposed, passed and signed by
David Panaia, Chairman/Secretary/CEO, Richard C. Turner, Director and Treasurer
and Barney A. Richmond, Director and President. Based on Mr. Richmond's past
restructuring experience, the new Board of Directors re-adopted the December 1,
2003 spin-off plan, pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No.4, for the
remaining subsidiaries of eCom. The plan was to create individual public
corporations, and take whatever actions necessary to complete the process of
enhancing shareholder value, including acquisitions and/or mergers.
The individual companies are listed below:
USA Performance Products, Inc. FL Corp. No. P98000006586 Fed. ID. 65-0812050

The motion in the above described June 4, 2004 Board Resolution included the
instructions for the distribution of stock by its Transfer Agent, Florida
Atlantic Stock Transfer (FAST) to the proper entities when the share
certificates were properly exercised and costs relating to the issuance of
these shares were paid in full. Notwithstanding, contrary to what board
10
SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
NOTE A - HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
members Richard Turner and Barney A. Richmond had been previously advised by
Chairman Panaia, eCom was not able to pay FAST the amounts required to send out
the Stock certificates to the shareholders, and accordingly, the shares were
not issued as stated.
Since late June 2004, American Capital Holdings, Inc. has been inundated
with hundreds of telephone calls from eCom shareholders,
requesting delivery of their promised spin-off shares. Numerous shareholders
have made demands to be sent their promised shares, many of them threatening
legal action against eCom and all of the above described spin-offs, which
possibly might have created contingent liabilities for all the shareholders of
eCom. Because of the aforementioned financial difficulties, eCom's telephone
lines were disconnected. eCom's shareholders contacted American Capital
Holdings, Inc. in an effort to garner information on the status of their
situation.
In order to comply with General Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") with
respect to American Capital's audits, Mr. Panaia had previously agreed to sign
promissory notes for the loans provided by American Capital as soon as all
parties could determine the exact amounts of the then forthcoming invoices
(whose amounts were unknown until received) by the SEC qualified accounting
firm, Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. When these accounting invoices and other
expense invoices were received in early August 2004, Mr. Panaia would not
return telephone calls and would not sign accounting confirmation requests from
American Capital accountants, nor would he sign the necessary promissory notes.
Numerous attempts were made by American Capital (Letter Dated September 29,
2004, Certificate of Mailing No. 2004188) requesting to have the promissory
notes signed by Mr. Panaia, which were not successful. On November 16, 2004,
an additional letter was sent to David Panaia, (Certificate of Mailing No.
2004201) requesting the signature of the promissory notes and the additional
information needed for the accountants to provide the necessary American
Capital audits needed for its ongoing SEC filings. These confirmation letters
and further information needed to complete the financial audits were
continually ignored by Mr. Panaia. Additionally, certain press releases were
made by the CEO of eCom making reference to American Capital without the
consent of management or the Board of Directors of American Capital. eCom also
ignored its responsibilities to its shareholders by not filing appropriate 8-
K's disclosing valid information concerning the status of eCom, including its
de-listing from the OTCBB, as described below.
Due to the above described dilemma caused as a direct result of Mr. Panaia's
refusal to address the monies advanced by American Capital to eCom, on November
22, 2004, Barney A. Richmond resigned as an Officer and Director of eCom. Mr.
Panaia also refused to file an 8-K statement regarding Mr. Richmond's
11
SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
NOTE A - HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
resignation. Being there were no other options available, on November 29, 2004,
an involuntary petition was filed against eCom eCom.com, Inc. in the United
States Southern District Bankruptcy Court (In Re: Case No. 04-34535 BKC-
SHF)under Title 11, Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code by
petitioning creditors, American Capital Holdings, Inc., Richard Turner, Barney
A. Richmond, and ACHI, Inc. The Bankruptcy proceedings were initiated in an
effort to restore the shareholder value lost by approximately 6,000+
shareholders as well as implement a viable plan for reimbursement of costs
incurred by American Capital Holdings, Inc., the petitioning creditors, and all
other creditors/vendors who have not been paid. The aforementioned creditors
are owed in excess of $1 million dollars. A copy of the June 2, 2005 Chapter
11, Title 11 Amended Involuntary Petition of eCom is posted on the eCom's
website, www.ecomecom.net.
In 1999, eCom reached record trading volume and a historical high share price
of $21.50, with a resulting market capitalization of around $250 million.
Since 1999, eCom has been in a state of steady decline. When eCom was unable
to pay their auditors, they were de-listed from the OTCBB to the Pink Sheets,
which is further detailed below. Currently eCom is thinly traded on the Pink
Sheets, with a 52-week high of $0.23, and an ask price of $.06 cents per share.
eCom's market capitalization has shrunk to less than $3.0 million,
which, without a qualified reorganization plan, could easily shrink
further, as eCom has a negative net worth.
In order to protect it's $250,000+ equity investment in eCom, and in order to
fulfill its fiduciary duty to American Capital shareholders, American Capital
proceeded with a plan to recapture the lost shareholder value of eCom. All eCom
shareholders are also a part of American Capital's shareholder base and are
therefore owed a fiduciary duty in protecting not only their interests, but to
all of American Capital's shareholders as well. As time went by, the management
of American Capital and eCom Director's Barney A. Richmond and Richard Turner
realized that the CEO of eCom, David Panaia, was not abiding by his publicly
stated agreements to accomplish what was originally set forth in press releases
regarding the previously announced spin-off plan. Also, it is estimated that
over $13.5 million of eCom shares had been traded based on prior press releases
concerning the spin-off announcement. It was then determined by many of the
shareholders that eCom was more than in financial turmoil and that Mr. Panaia
did not have the resources to complete which he had publicly stated. In late
August and September of 2004, Chairman and CEO David Panaia quit taking calls
from anyone, including the management of American Capital. Additionally, eCom
was not taking calls from other creditors who were owed hundreds of thousands of
dollars, including eCom's SEC accounting firm. Other outstanding eCom debts
included over $110,000 in employee wages and unpaid expenses, including expenses
which were placed on employee personal credit cards to cover expenses directly
incurred by eCom, some of which included the previously announced spin-off
process costs.

SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
NOTE A - HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, auditors cannot remain independent and
be a creditor at the same time. Subsequent to eCom's December 3, 2003 public
press release regarding the spin-off of USA SportsNet, the management of
American Capital discovered eCom owed past due balances with its accountants,
Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. This undisclosed liability cost American Capital an
additional $75,000 as American Capital was forced to pay the auditing firm in
order to complete American Capital's audits, since American Capital is a spin-
off of eCom. Additionally, American Capital has been forced to continue this
financial assistance to bring all of the spinoff companies current with their
SEC qualified accountants and other creditors so that eCom could continue with
it's daily operations.
During the period from late December 2004 thru mid-March 2005, American
Capital and the petitioning creditors sympathized with the declining health
of eCom's CEO, David Panaia. These petitioning creditors have also
incurred considerable additional costs providing continued financial assistance
to honor what was promised to eCom's shareholders. These costs included
expenses to bring all of the spin-off companies current with their SEC filings,
Federal Tax Returns, State Income Tax Returns, State Filing Fees, Accounting
Expenses, SEC Auditing Expenses, Legal, Administrative and other business-
related expenses. This process included utilizing American Capital employees, as
well as hiring outside assistance, i.e. additional accountants, tax assistance,
and outside attorneys to expedite the process.
On January 24, 2005, eCom was de-listed from trading on the OTC Bulletin Board
and began trading on the Pink Sheets for failure to file the Company's
November Form 10QSB. This de-listing was due to the fact the Company's
auditors had not been paid. Therefore, in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, the auditors could not be determined to be "independent". Accordingly,
eCom lost additional market value, thereby further injuring creditors and
shareholders of the company.
Due to Mr. Panaia's health-related issues, during the period of January thru
mid-March 2005, eCom requested three (3) extensions to reply to the above
described Involuntary Chapter 11, Title 11 United States Southern District
Bankruptcy Petition In Re: eComeCom.com, Inc. Case No. 04-34535 BKC-SHF. With
consideration to Mr. Panaia's declining health, all of the petitioning
creditors voluntarily consented to these extensions. Notwithstanding these
voluntary extensions, and due to the extensive ongoing telephone inquiries from
eCom shareholders who had bought shares in the public marketplace based on the
past public press release representations of Mr. Panaia, the management of
American Capital and the petitioning creditors had no choice but to make past
promises good beginning with getting the spin-off companies in full regulatory
compliance. This endeavor included the preparation of (a) thirty (30)
10QSB's; (b); ten (10) 10K's; (c) ten (10) Form 10SB's SEC Registration
Statements; (d) twenty six (26) total State and Federal Tax Returns; (e) ten
(10) applications for the required SEC EDGAR CIK Numbers; (f) and ten (10) of

the Transfer Agent- required Standard & Poor's Cusip Numbers. Additionally,
there has been a tremendous administrative effort in bringing all the spin-off
companies current with respect to public company reporting requirements,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. American Capital's management and the
petitioning creditors accomplished these tasks to eliminate any further
liabilities to eCom shareholders.
On March 20, 2005, the Chairman/CEO and majority shareholder of eCom, David J.
Panaia, died from health complications. The former President and Director of
eCom, Richard C. Turner, is acting as interim CEO for eCom, without
process of restoring shareholder value is well underway, Mr. Richmond plans to
compensation. The Company is making application to the United States Bankruptcy
Court to appoint Barney A. Richmond, who has agreed to do so without
compensation, as its new Chief Executive Officer, whose official appointment is
subject to bankruptcy court approval. Although the process of restoring
shareholder value is well underway, both Mr. Richmond and Mr. Turner plan to
stay with the company without compensation until the proposed reorganization
plans of all the companies are complete.
On March 23, 2005, the aforementioned spin-off companies received
their respective SEC CIK Acceptance Filings, which are outlined below:

In order to facilitate a more reasonable share structure based on the company's
existing financial assets, on May 26, 2005 the Board approved a resolution
authorizing a 100-to-1 Reverse Split of the outstanding 49,955,112 shares of
the spin-off companies. Each company will purchase all fractional shares at
market price, thereby resulting in total outstanding shares of 499,503 as of May
27, 2005. The Record Date for the remaining spin-offs was set as May 27, 2005,
and all share certificates due to the shareholders of the above referenced
companies were mailed on June 2, 2005.

business plans for the all of the above referenced spin-off companies. To begin
the process of paying expenses relating to the commencement of their respective
business purposes, on May 31, 2005 several new shareholders provided initial
funding of $400,000 to eight (8) of the above referenced companies. This funding
will be reflected in each company's forthcoming respective Form 10SB audits and
filings, which are planned to be filed by July 8, 2005. This initial funding is
to cover legal, accounting and other expenses, including due diligence costs
related to proposed forthcoming acquisitions. More funding is planned for each
company throughout the June 1, 2005 thru August 30, 2005 quarter in accordance
with 506 Reg. D Private Placement procedures, which will become available only
to accredited investors. Additionally, a plan is being formulated, subject to
bankruptcy court approval, which will provide a 100% payout to all of eCom's
outstanding creditors. The new management believes these efforts combined with
execution of the new business plans not only will recapture the lost shareholder
value of eCom, but will also enhance the viability of future long term
shareholder value as well.
Acquisitions negotiations are underway and will be separately announced upon
completion. Management is confident in their ability to execute these
forthcoming plans.
On May 16, 2005, eCom and its creditors attended the first status conference in
the United States Bankruptcy Court - Southern District of Florida (In Re: Case
No. 04-34535 BKC-SHF) in front of the Honorable Judge Steven Friedman.
An order was granted to the petitioning creditors adjudicating eCom as a debtor
under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Order
included specific instructions for eCom to retain bankruptcy counsel by June 4,
2005.
Pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No.4, the issuance of the all the share
certificates of the above referenced spin-off companies were sent via certified
mail on June 2, 2005 to the shareholders of record as of May 31, 2005. The
shareholder list and Certified Mail numbers are appended hereto as exhibit 99.6.
On June 3, 2005, eCom, through a $100,000 Debtor In Possession Financing
Agreement with American Capital Holdings, Inc., entered into an engagement
agreement to retain the legal services of Kluger, Peretz, Kaplan & Berlin to
represent the Company in its aforementioned reorganization plans. Both of the
financing and legal representation agreements were ordered by the Bankruptcy
Court at a hearing which took place June 6, 2005.
On behalf of eCom, American Capital Holdings has filed the requisite filings to
bring eCom current. The accession number eCom's November 30, 2004 Form 10-QSB
is 0001000459-00-000000, and the accession number for eCom's February 28, 2005

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION, USE OF ESTIMATES
The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual basis of accounting. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent 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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue and dividends from investments are recognized at the time the investment
dividends are declared payable by the underlying investment. Capital gains and
losses are recorded on the date of sale of the investment.
CASH
Cash consists of deposits in banks and other financial institutions having
original maturities of less than ninety days.

NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
It is the policy of management to review the outstanding accounts receivable
at year end, as well as the bad debt write-offs experienced in the past, and
establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts.
DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method.
AMORTIZATION
The accounting for a recognized intangible asset acquired after June 30, 2001
is based on its useful life to the Company. If an intangible asset has a
finite life, but the precise length of that life is not known, that intangible
asset shall be amortized over management's best estimate of its useful life. An
intangible asset with a indefinite useful life is not amortized. The useful
life to an entity is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute
directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that entity.
NOTE C - NOTES RECEIVABLE
None
NOTE D - LOANS RECEIVABLE RELATED PARTIES

NOTE E - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

NOTE F - PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid expenses consist of annual service fees for web-hosting.
NOTE G - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Management has estimated that the useful life of the intangible asset is five
(5) years. The Company is amortizing the asset using the straight-line method
over that period. Accumulated amortization for the periods ending August 31,
2004 and May 31, 2004 is $8 and $4 respectively. Amortization expense for the
periods ending August 31, 2004 and August 31, 2003 is $4 and $0 respectively.

NOTE I -STOCKHOLDERS LOANS & NOTES PAYABLE
The Stockholder loan is a non-interest bearing, non-collateralized loan from a
stockholder and is due on demand.
Note payable is a non-interest, non-collateralized note to a related party.
NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE K - INCOME TAXES
No provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded because the
Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company's net
operating loss carry-forward as of August 31, 2004 totals approximately $4.
These carry-forwards, which will be available to offset future taxable income,
expire beginning in May 31, 2024.
The Company does not believe that the realization of the related net deferred
tax asset meets the criteria required by generally accepted accounting
principles and, accordingly, the deferred income tax asset arising from such
loss carry forward has been fully reserved.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FASB 109). Under FASB 109, income taxes are
provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial
statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to
certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and
income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent
the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be
taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses and tax credits that are
available to offset future taxable income and income taxes, respectively. A
valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

NOTE L STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The computation of diluted loss per share before extraordinary item for the
three months ended August 31, 2004 does not include shares from potentially
dilutive securities as the assumption of conversion or exercise of these would
have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share before extraordinary items. In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, diluted loss per
share from extraordinary item is calculated using the same number of potential
common shares as used in the computation of loss per share before extraordinary
items.
NOTE M - DEFERRED TAX ASSET
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the
financial reporting and income tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities. Temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards
and valuation allowances comprising the net deferred taxes on the balance
sheets is as follows:

NOTE O - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations with
an effective date for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. The statement addresses financial accounting and reporting
for obligations related with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and
the costs associated with asset retirement. The statement requires the
recognition of retirement obligations which will, therefore, generally increase
liabilities; retirement costs will be added to the carrying value of long-lived
assets, therefore, assets will be increased; and depreciation and accretion
expense will be higher in the later years of an assets life than in earlier
years. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 at January 1, 2002. The adoption of
SFAS No. 143 had no impact on the Company's operating results or financial
positions.
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets and is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002. This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or the disposal of long-lived
asset. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-
lived group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flow expected to result
from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. Long-lived assets
should be tested at least annually or whenever changes in circumstances
indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. This statement
does not apply to goodwill and intangible assets that are not amortized.
The Company adapted SFAS No. 144 in the first quarter of 2002. The adoption
of SFAS No. 144 had no impact on the Company's operating results or
financial position.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of the FASB Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections"("SFAS No. 145"). SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement to
classify gains and losses from the extinguishment of indebtedness as
extraordinary, requires certain lease modifications to be treated the same as a
sale-leaseback transaction, and makes other non-substantive technical
corrections to existing pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS No. 145 was adopted on June 1, 2003 and
did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" and is effective for
financial instruments entered into after May 31, 2003. This Statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its
statement of financial position certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer
21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE O - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability because
that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. The Company has
adopted SFAS No. 150 and the adoption has had no impact on the Company's
operating results or financial position.
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 will continue to
be amortized and tested for impairment in accordance with pre- SFAS No. 142
requirements until adoption of SFAS No. 142. Under the provision of SFAS
No.142, intangible assets with definite useful lives will be amortized to their
estimated residual values over those estimated useful lives in proportion to the
economic benefits consumed. Such intangible assets remain subject to the
impairment provisions of SFAS No. 121. Intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives will be tested for impairment annually in lieu of being amortized. The
impact of adopting SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 will not cause a material change in the
Company's consolidated financial statements as of the date of this report.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Spin-Off.
The Company was one of ten (10) wholly owned subsidiaries of
eCom, with varying business plans. In recent years, eCom concluded that it did
not have the financial resources necessary to develop all ten (10) of its
business units collectively. Pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4, eCom
decided to spin off its subsidiaries into independent companies in the belief
that independent companies, each with a distinct business, would be better able
to obtain necessary funding and develop their business plans. This belief was
based in part on eCom's experience with potential business partners which
sought involvement with only one of eCom's subsidiaries, rather than
involvement with the multi-faceted eCom.
On December 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin-off
eCom's ten (10) operating subsidiary companies.
On December 18, 2003, USA SportsNet, Inc. entered into a definitive Asset
Acquisition Agreement with American Capital Holdings, Inc.,("American Capital")
The Date of Record for the first spin-off, USA SportsNet, Inc. (later renamed
American Capital Holdings, Inc., Cusip No. 02503V 10 9/SEC CIK No. 0001288010)
was January 5, 2004. The Date of Record for the second spin-off, MyZipSoft,
Inc. (Standard & Poor's Cusip No. 628703 10 0/SEC CIK No. 0001290785) was
February 23, 2004 and the shares of MyZipSoft were distributed to its
shareholders on June 2, 2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
(CONTINUED)
On March 2, 2004, the Board of Directors of eCom approved
the spin off of Swap and Shop.net Corp. and the remaining seven (7) spin off
companies in which the Board of Directors voted to issue to their shareholders
one (1) share of the company for every one (1) share of eCom owned with a
record date to be announced, pursuant to the advice of SEC Staff Legal Bulletin
No. 4.
On March 29, 2004, eCom Chairman and CEO David Panaia prepared and issued a
Press Release announcing the appointment of Barney A. Richmond as President of
eCom. A copy of this press release appended hereto as Exhibit No. 1. Paragraph
two (2) of this release stated the following:
"The plan to spin-off eCom's ten wholly owned subsidiaries has been completed
and the Company is now in the process of acquiring certain businesses for each
spin-off. To date, the Company has accomplished two (2) acquisitions and has
four (4) more under agreement. When announced, eCom shareholders as of the
Date of Payment (distribution of stock) for each spin-off will receive new
shares in that company."
On April 14, 2004, eCom filed Form 10QSB, file number 000-23617, accession
number 0001000459-04-000005. As stated in ITEM 2, Management's Discussion and
Analysis, 'All ten (10) business subsidiaries have been spun off into
independent operating public companies.'
On May 24, 2004, American Capital Holdings, Inc., a spin-off of eCom formerly
known as USA SportsNet, Inc., filed a Form 10SB, file number 000-50776,
accession number 0001288012-04-000001,SEC CIK number 0001288012,with the United
States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"). On July 27, 2004 American
Capital Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10SB was ruled effective by the SEC.
On June 4, 2004, a corporate resolution was proposed, passed and signed by
David Panaia, Chairman/Secretary/CEO, Richard C. Turner, Director and Treasurer
and Barney A. Richmond, Director and President. Based on Mr. Richmond's past
restructuring experience, the new Board of Directors re-adopted the December 1,
2003 spin-off plan, pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No.4, for the
remaining subsidiaries of eCom. The plan was to create individual public
corporations, and take whatever actions necessary to complete the process of
enhancing shareholder value, including acquisitions and/or mergers.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
(CONTINUED)
The motion in the above described June 4, 2004 Board Resolution included the
instructions for the distribution of stock by its Transfer Agent, Florida
Atlantic Stock Transfer (FAST) to the proper entities when the share
certificates were properly exercised and costs relating to the issuance of
these shares were paid in full. Notwithstanding, contrary to what board
members Richard Turner and Barney A. Richmond had been previously advised by
Chairman Panaia, eCom was not able to pay FAST the amounts required to send out
the stock certificates to the shareholders, and accordingly, the shares were
not issued as stated.
Since late June 2004, American Capital Holdings, Inc. has been inundated
with hundreds of telephone calls from eCom shareholders,
requesting delivery of their promised spin-off shares. Numerous shareholders
have made demands to be sent their promised shares, many of them threatening
legal action against eCom and all of the above described spin-offs, which
possibly might have created contingent liabilities for all the shareholders of
eCom. Because of the aforementioned financial difficulties, eCom's telephone
lines were disconnected. eCom's shareholders contacted American Capital
Holdings, Inc. in an effort to garner information on the status of their
situation.
In order to comply with General Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") with
respect to American Capital's audits, Mr. Panaia had previously agreed to sign
promissory notes for the loans provided by American Capital as soon as all
parties could determine the exact amounts of the then forthcoming invoices
(whose amounts were unknown until received) by the SEC qualified accounting
firm, Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. When these accounting invoices and other
expense invoices were received in early August 2004, Mr. Panaia would not
return telephone calls and would not sign accounting confirmation requests from
American Capital accountants, nor would he sign the necessary promissory notes.
Numerous attempts were made by American Capital (Letter Dated September 29,
2004, Certificate of Mailing No. 2004188) requesting to have the promissory
notes signed by Mr. Panaia, which were not successful. On November 16, 2004,
an additional letter was sent to David Panaia, (Certificate of Mailing No.
2004201) requesting the signature of the promissory notes and the additional
information needed for the accountants to provide the necessary American
Capital audits needed for its ongoing SEC filings. These confirmation letters
and further information needed to complete the financial audits were
continually ignored by Mr. Panaia. Additionally, certain press releases were
made by the CEO of eCom making reference to American Capital without the
consent of management or the Board of Directors of American Capital. eCom also
ignored its responsibilities to its shareholders by not filing appropriate 8-
K's disclosing valid information concerning the status of eCom, including its
de-listing from the OTCBB, as described below.
24
SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
(CONTINUED)
Due to the above described dilemma caused as a direct result of Mr. Panaia's
refusal to address the monies advanced by American Capital to eCom, on November
22, 2004, Barney A. Richmond resigned as an Officer and Director of eCom. Mr.
Panaia also refused to file an 8-K statement regarding Mr. Richmond's
resignation. Being there were no other options available, on November 29, 2004,
an involuntary petition was filed against eCom eCom.com, Inc. in the United
States Southern District Bankruptcy Court (In Re: Case No. 04-34535 BKC-
SHF)under Title 11, Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code by
petitioning creditors, American Capital Holdings, Inc., Richard Turner, Barney
A. Richmond, and ACHI, Inc. The Bankruptcy proceedings were initiated in an
effort to restore the shareholder value lost by approximately 6,000+
shareholders as well as implement a viable plan for reimbursement of costs
incurred by American Capital Holdings, Inc., the petitioning creditors, and all
other creditors/vendors who have not been paid. The aforementioned creditors
are owed in excess of $1 million dollars. A copy of the June 2, 2005 Chapter
11, Title 11 Amended Involuntary Petition of eCom is posted on the eCom's
website, www.ecomecom.net
In 1999, eCom reached record trading volume and a historical high share price
of $21.50, with a resulting market capitalization of around $250 million.
Since 1999, eCom has been in a state of steady decline. When eCom was unable
to pay their auditors, they were de-listed from the OTCBB to the Pink Sheets,
which is further detailed below. Currently eCom is thinly traded on the Pink
Sheets, with a 52-week high of $0.23, and an ask price of $.06 cents per share.
eCom's market capitalization has shrunk to less than $3.0 million,
which, without a qualified reorganization plan, could easily shrink
further, as eCom has a negative net worth.
In order to protect it's $250,000+ equity investment in eCom, and in order to
fulfill its fiduciary duty to American Capital shareholders, American Capital
proceeded with a plan to recapture the lost shareholder value of eCom. All eCom
shareholders are also a part of American Capital's shareholder base and are
therefore owed a fiduciary duty in protecting not only their interests, but to
all of American Capital's shareholders as well. As time went by, the management
of American Capital and eCom Director's Barney A. Richmond and Richard Turner
realized that the CEO of eCom, David Panaia, was not abiding by his publicly
stated agreements to accomplish what was originally set forth in press releases
regarding the previously announced spin-off plan. Also, it is estimated that
over $13.5 million of eCom shares had been traded based on prior press releases
concerning the spin-off announcement. It was then determined by many of the
shareholders that eCom was more than in financial turmoil and that Mr. Panaia
did not have the resources to complete which he had publicly stated. In late
August and September of 2004, Chairman and CEO David Panaia quit taking calls
from anyone, including the management of American Capital. Additionally, eCom
was not taking calls from other creditors who were owed hundreds of thousands of
dollars, including eCom's SEC accounting firm. Other outstanding eCom debts
included over $110,000 in employee wages and unpaid expenses, including expenses

(CONTINUED)
which were placed on employee personal credit cards to cover expenses directly
incurred by eCom, some of which included the previously announced spin-off
process costs.
As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, auditors cannot remain independent and
be a creditor at the same time. Subsequent to eCom's December 3, 2003 public
press release regarding the spin-off of USA SportsNet, the management of
American Capital discovered eCom owed past due balances with its accountants,
Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. This undisclosed liability cost American Capital an
additional $75,000 as American Capital was forced to pay the auditing firm in
order to complete American Capital's audits, since American Capital is a spin-
off of eCom. Additionally, American Capital has been forced to continue this
financial assistance to bring all of the spinoff companies current with their
SEC qualified accountants and other creditors so that eCom could continue with
it's daily operations.
During the period from late December 2004 thru mid-March 2005, American
Capital and the petitioning creditors sympathized with the declining health
of eCom's CEO, David Panaia. These petitioning creditors have also
incurred considerable additional costs providing continued financial assistance
to honor what was promised to eCom's shareholders. These costs included
expenses to bring all of the spin-off companies current with their SEC filings,
Federal Tax Returns, State Income Tax Returns, State Filing Fees, Accounting
Expenses, SEC Auditing Expenses, Legal, Administrative and other business-
related expenses. This process included utilizing American Capital employees, as
well as hiring outside assistance, i.e. additional accountants, tax assistance,
and outside attorneys to expedite the process.
On January 24, 2005, eCom was de-listed from trading on the OTC Bulletin Board
and began trading on the Pink Sheets for failure to file the Company's
November Form 10QSB. This de-listing was due to the fact the Company's
auditors had not been paid. Therefore, in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, the auditors could not be determined to be "independent". Accordingly,
eCom lost additional market value, thereby further injuring creditors and
shareholders of the company.
Due to Mr. Panaia's health-related issues, during the period of January thru
mid-March 2005, eCom requested three (3) extensions to reply to the above
described Involuntary Chapter 11, Title 11 United States Southern District
Bankruptcy Petition In Re: eComeCom.com, Inc. Case No. 04-34535 BKC-SHF. With
consideration to Mr. Panaia's declining health, all of the petitioning
creditors voluntarily consented to these extensions. Notwithstanding these
voluntary extensions, and due to the extensive ongoing telephone inquiries from
eCom shareholders who had bought shares in the public marketplace based on the
past public press release representations of Mr. Panaia, the management of
American Capital and the petitioning creditors had no choice but to make past
promises good beginning with getting the spin-off companies in full regulatory
compliance. This endeavor included the preparation of (a) thirty (30)
10QSB's; (b); ten (10) 10K's; (c) ten (10) Form 10SB's SEC Registration
26
SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP

(CONTINUED)
Statements; (d) twenty six (26) total State and Federal Tax Returns; (e) ten
(10) applications for the required SEC EDGAR CIK Numbers; (f) and ten (10) of
the Transfer Agent- required Standard & Poor's Cusip Numbers. Additionally,
there has been a tremendous administrative effort in bringing all the spin-off
companies current with respect to public company reporting requirements,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. American Capital's management and the
petitioning creditors accomplished these tasks to eliminate any further
liabilities to eCom shareholders.
On March 20, 2005, the Chairman/CEO and majority shareholder of eCom, David J.
Panaia, died from health complications. The former President and Director of
eCom, Richard C. Turner, is acting as interim CEO for eCom, without
process of restoring shareholder value is well underway, Mr. Richmond plans to
compensation. The Company is making application to the United States Bankruptcy
Court to appoint Barney A. Richmond, who has agreed to do so without
compensation, as its new Chief Executive Officer, whose official appointment is
subject to bankruptcy court approval. Although the process of restoring
shareholder value is well underway, both Mr. Richmond and Mr. Turner plan to
stay with the company without compensation until the proposed reorganization
plans of all the companies are complete.
On March 23, 2005, the aforementioned spin-off companies received
their respective SEC CIK Acceptance Filings, which are outlined below:

In order to facilitate a more reasonable share structure based on the company's
existing financial assets, on May 26, 2005 the Board approved a resolution
authorizing a 100-to-1 Reverse Split of the outstanding 49,955,112 shares of
the spin-off companies. Each company will purchase all fractional shares at
market price, thereby resulting in total outstanding shares of 499,503 as of May

and all share certificates due to the shareholders of the above referenced

the process of paying expenses relating to the commencement of their respective
business purposes, on May 31, 2005 several new shareholders provided initial
funding of $400,000 to eight (8) of the above referenced companies. This funding
will be reflected in each company's forthcoming respective Form 10SB audits and
filings, which are planned to be filed by July 8, 2005. This initial funding is
to cover legal, accounting and other expenses, including due diligence costs
related to proposed forthcoming acquisitions. More funding is planned for each
company throughout the June 1, 2005 thru August 30, 2005 quarter in accordance
with 506 Reg. D Private Placement procedures, which will become available only
to accredited investors. Additionally, a plan is being formulated, subject to
bankruptcy court approval, which will provide a 100% payout to all of eCom's
outstanding creditors. The new management believes these efforts combined with
execution of the new business plans not only will recapture the lost shareholder
value of eCom, but will also enhance the viability of future long term
shareholder value as well.
Acquisitions negotiations are underway and will be separately announced upon
completion. Management is confident in their ability to execute these
forthcoming plans.
On May 16, 2005, eCom and its creditors attended the first status conference in
the United States Bankruptcy Court - Southern District of Florida (In Re: Case
No. 04-34535 BKC-SHF) in front of the Honorable Judge Steven Friedman.
An order was granted to the petitioning creditors adjudicating eCom as a debtor
under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Order
included specific instructions for eCom to retain bankruptcy counsel by June 4,
2005.
Pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No.4, the issuance of the all the share
certificates of the above referenced spin-off companies were sent via certified
mail on June 2, 2005 to the shareholders of record as of May 31, 2005. The

agreement to retain the legal services of Kluger, Peretz, Kaplan & Berlin to
represent the Company in its aforementioned reorganization plans. Both of the
financing and legal representation agreements were ordered by the Bankruptcy
Court at a hearing which took place June 6, 2005.

On June 6, 2005, a second bankruptcy status conference was held in front of the
Honorable Judge Steven Friedman. Two (2) motions were heard with resulting
court approval. One was an Court Order for eCom to retain the legal services of
Kluger, Peretz, Kaplin & Berlin P.L. The second Court Order was the approval of
Barney A. Richmond as the new Chief Executive Officer of eComeCom.com, Inc. Mr.
Richmond has significant experience in corporate and bankruptcy reorganizations.
Judge Friedman's court order included instructions for Mr. Richmond and Kluger
Peretz to commence with the preparation a viable plan of reorganization for eCom
and all of the above described spinoff companies, which process is significantly
underway including the completion of the May 31, 2005 audits and preparation of
the Forms 10-SB for all the above-referenced spinoff companies. Section 1145 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code allows the Court to use the Exemption of
Securities Laws with respect to a qualified reorganization plan, which the
Debtor and aforementioned subsidiary spinoff companies plan to use, which was
discussed during the aforementioned June 6, 2005 Court Hearing. The above
described June 6, 2005 Court Orders are appended herein as Exhibit 99.7.
Electronic copies of the May 16, 2005 and June 6, 2005 court transcripts are
available on the eCom website, www.ecomecom.net.
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
RISK FACTORS. The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors,
including the following:
NO OPERATING REVENUES. The Company has had no recent revenues or earnings from
operations. The Company will sustain operating expenses without corresponding
revenues. This will result in the Company incurring net operating losses until
the Company can realize profits from the business ventures it intends to
acquire.
SPECULATIVE NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED OPERATIONS. The success of the
Company's proposed plan of operation will depend primarily on the success of
the Company's business operations. While the Company intends to try to run
these operations profitably, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful will be profitable.
SUCCESS OF OPERATIONS WILL DEPEND ON THE AVAILABILITY OF CAPITAL. The Company
intends to profit from the success of implementing its business model. The
Company will require significant capital. If the Company is not able to raise
the funds to provide this capital, or to otherwise locate the required capital
for these businesses, they may never attain profitability.
30
SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED MANAGEMENT CONTROL, LIMITED TIME AVAILABILITY. The Company's
directors and officers have not entered into written employment agreements with
the Company and they are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. The
Company has not obtained key man life insurance on its officers and directors.
Notwithstanding the limited time commitment of management, loss of the services
of these individuals would adversely affect development of the Company's
business and its likelihood of continuing operations.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL. Certain conflicts of interest may exist from
time to time between the Company and its officers and directors. They have
other business interests to which they devote their attention, and they will
continue to do so. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be
resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with the
fiduciary duties of management to the Company.
NO PUBLIC MARKET CURRENTLY EXISTS. There is currently no public market for the
Company's common stock, and it is not expected that any such market will
develop until such time as the Company has filed a Registration Statement under
the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Commission has
declared that Registration Statement to be effective. There can be no
assurance that a market will in fact develop at any time, or that a shareholder
ever will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay. If a
market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Factors such as those
discussed in this "Risk Factors" section may have a significant impact upon the
market price of the Company's stock.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF THE COMPANY'S DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS:
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB,
the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
'disclosure controls and procedures'("Disclosure Controls"). This
'evaluation'("Controls Evaluation") was done under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chairman
("CEO")and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). As a result of this review, the
Company adopted guidelines concerning disclosure controls and the establishment
of a disclosure control committee made up of senior management.
LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS:
The Company's management, including the CEO/CHAIRMAN and CFO, does not expect
that its Disclosure Controls or its 'internal controls and procedures for
financial reporting' ("Internal Controls")will prevent all error and all fraud.
control system, no matter how well conceived and managed, can provide only
reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The
design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
31
SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS: (CONTINUED)
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the
control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-
effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not
be detected.
CONCLUSIONS:
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, the CEO/CHAIRMAN and CFO have concluded
that, subject to the limitations noted above, the Disclosure Controls are
effective to timely alert management to material information relating to the
Company during the period when its periodic reports are being prepared.
In accordance with SEC requirements, the CEO/CHAIRMAN and CFO note that, since
the date of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there
have been no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

The Spin-Off.
The Company was one of ten (10) wholly owned subsidiaries of
eCom, with varying business plans. In recent years, eCom concluded that it did
not have the financial resources necessary to develop all ten (10) of its
business units collectively. Pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4, eCom
decided to spin off its subsidiaries into independent companies in the belief
that independent companies, each with a distinct business, would be better able
to obtain necessary funding and develop their business plans. This belief was
based in part on eCom's experience with potential business partners which
sought involvement with only one of eCom's subsidiaries, rather than
involvement with the multi-faceted eCom.
On December 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin-off
eCom's ten (10) operating subsidiary companies.
On December 18, 2003, USA SportsNet, Inc. entered into a definitive Asset
Acquisition Agreement with American Capital Holdings, Inc.,("American Capital")
The Date of Record for the first spin-off, USA SportsNet, Inc. (later renamed
American Capital Holdings, Inc., Cusip No. 02503V 10 9/SEC CIK No. 0001288010)
was January 5, 2004. The Date of Record for the second spin-off, MyZipSoft,
Inc. (Standard & Poor's Cusip No. 628703 10 0/SEC CIK No. 0001290785) was
February 23, 2004 and the shares of MyZipSoft were distributed to its
shareholders on June 2, 2005.
On March 2, 2004, the Board of Directors of eCom approved
the spin off of Swap and Shop.net Corp. and the remaining seven (7) spin off
companies in which the Board of Directors voted to issue to their shareholders
one (1) share of the company for every one (1) share of eCom owned with a
record date to be announced, pursuant to the advice of SEC Staff Legal Bulletin
No. 4.
On March 29, 2004, eCom Chairman and CEO David Panaia prepared and issued a
Press Release announcing the appointment of Barney A. Richmond as President of
eCom. A copy of this press release appended hereto as Exhibit No. 1. Paragraph
two (2) of this release stated the following:
"The plan to spin-off eCom's ten wholly owned subsidiaries has been completed
and the Company is now in the process of acquiring certain businesses for each
spin-off. To date, the Company has accomplished two (2) acquisitions and has
four (4) more under agreement. When announced, eCom shareholders as of the
Date of Payment (distribution of stock) for each spin-off will receive new
shares in that company."
On April 14, 2004, eCom filed Form 10QSB, file number 000-23617, accession
number 0001000459-04-000005. As stated in ITEM 2, Management's Discussion and
Analysis, 'All ten (10) business subsidiaries have been spun off into
independent operating public companies.'

ITEM 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. (CONTINUED)
On May 24, 2004, American Capital Holdings, Inc., a spin-off of eCom formerly
known as USA SportsNet, Inc., filed a Form 10SB, file number 000-50776,
accession number 0001288012-04-000001,SEC CIK number 0001288012,with the United
States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"). On July 27, 2004 American
Capital Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10SB was ruled effective by the SEC.
On June 4, 2004, a corporate resolution was proposed, passed and signed by
David Panaia, Chairman/Secretary/CEO, Richard C. Turner, Director and Treasurer
and Barney A. Richmond, Director and President. Based on Mr. Richmond's past
restructuring experience, the new Board of Directors re-adopted the December 1,
2003 spin-off plan, pursuant to SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No.4, for the
remaining subsidiaries of eCom. The plan was to create individual public
corporations, and take whatever actions necessary to complete the process of
enhancing shareholder value, including acquisitions and/or mergers.
The individual companies are listed below:

The motion in the above described June 4, 2004 Board Resolution included the
instructions for the distribution of stock by its Transfer Agent, Florida
Atlantic Stock Transfer (FAST) to the proper entities when the share
certificates were properly exercised and costs relating to the issuance of
these shares were paid in full. Notwithstanding, contrary to what board
members Richard Turner and Barney A. Richmond had been previously advised by
Chairman Panaia, eCom was not able to pay FAST the amounts required to send out
the stock certificates to the shareholders, and accordingly, the shares were
not issued as stated.
Since late June 2004, American Capital Holdings, Inc. has been inundated
with hundreds of telephone calls from eCom shareholders,
requesting delivery of their promised spin-off shares. Numerous shareholders
have made demands to be sent their promised shares, many of them threatening
legal action against eCom and all of the above described spin-offs, which
possibly might have created contingent liabilities for all the shareholders of
eCom. Because of the aforementioned financial difficulties, eCom's telephone
lines were disconnected. eCom's shareholders contacted American Capital
Holdings, Inc. in an effort to garner information on the status of their
situation.

SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
ITEM 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. (CONTINUED)
In order to comply with General Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") with
respect to American Capital's audits, Mr. Panaia had previously agreed to sign
promissory notes for the loans provided by American Capital as soon as all
parties could determine the exact amounts of the then forthcoming invoices
(whose amounts were unknown until received) by the SEC qualified accounting
firm, Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. When these accounting invoices and other
expense invoices were received in early August 2004, Mr. Panaia would not
return telephone calls and would not sign accounting confirmation requests from
American Capital accountants, nor would he sign the necessary promissory notes.
Numerous attempts were made by American Capital (Letter Dated September 29,
2004, Certificate of Mailing No. 2004188) requesting to have the promissory
notes signed by Mr. Panaia, which were not successful. On November 16, 2004,
an additional letter was sent to David Panaia, (Certificate of Mailing No.
2004201) requesting the signature of the promissory notes and the additional
information needed for the accountants to provide the necessary American
Capital audits needed for its ongoing SEC filings. These confirmation letters
and further information needed to complete the financial audits were
continually ignored by Mr. Panaia. Additionally, certain press releases were
made by the CEO of eCom making reference to American Capital without the
consent of management or the Board of Directors of American Capital. eCom also
ignored its responsibilities to its shareholders by not filing appropriate 8-
K's disclosing valid information concerning the status of eCom, including its
de-listing from the OTCBB, as described below.
Due to the above described dilemma caused as a direct result of Mr. Panaia's
refusal to address the monies advanced by American Capital to eCom, on November
22, 2004, Barney A. Richmond resigned as an Officer and Director of eCom. Mr.
Panaia also refused to file an 8-K statement regarding Mr. Richmond's
resignation. Being there were no other options available, on November 29, 2004,
an involuntary petition was filed against eCom eCom.com, Inc. in the United
States Southern District Bankruptcy Court (In Re: Case No. 04-34535 BKC-
SHF)under Title 11, Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code by
petitioning creditors, American Capital Holdings, Inc., Richard Turner, Barney
A. Richmond, and ACHI, Inc. The Bankruptcy proceedings were initiated in an
effort to restore the shareholder value lost by approximately 6,000+
shareholders as well as implement a viable plan for reimbursement of costs
incurred by American Capital Holdings, Inc., the petitioning creditors, and all
other creditors/vendors who have not been paid. The aforementioned creditors
are owed in excess of $1 million dollars. A copy of the June 2, 2005 Chapter
11, Title 11 Amended Involuntary Petition of eCom is posted on the eCom's
website, www.ecomecom.net
In 1999, eCom reached record trading volume and a historical high share price
of $21.50, with a resulting market capitalization of around $250 million.
Since 1999, eCom has been in a state of steady decline. When eCom was unable
to pay their auditors, they were de-listed from the OTCBB to the Pink Sheets,
35
SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
ITEM 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. (CONTINUED)
which is further detailed below. Currently eCom is thinly traded on the Pink
Sheets, with a 52-week high of $0.23, and an ask price of $.06 cents per share.
eCom's market capitalization has shrunk to less than $3.0 million,
which, without a qualified reorganization plan, could easily shrink
further, as eCom has a negative net worth.
In order to protect it's $250,000+ equity investment in eCom, and in order to
fulfill its fiduciary duty to American Capital shareholders, American Capital
proceeded with a plan to recapture the lost shareholder value of eCom. All eCom
shareholders are also a part of American Capital's shareholder base and are
therefore owed a fiduciary duty in protecting not only their interests, but to
all of American Capital's shareholders as well. As time went by, the management
of American Capital and eCom Director's Barney A. Richmond and Richard Turner
realized that the CEO of eCom, David Panaia, was not abiding by his publicly
stated agreements to accomplish what was originally set forth in press releases
regarding the previously announced spin-off plan. Also, it is estimated that
over $13.5 million of eCom shares had been traded based on prior press releases
concerning the spin-off announcement. It was then determined by many of the
shareholders that eCom was more than in financial turmoil and that Mr. Panaia
did not have the resources to complete which he had publicly stated. In late
August and September of 2004, Chairman and CEO David Panaia quit taking calls
from anyone, including the management of American Capital. Additionally, eCom
was not taking calls from other creditors who were owed hundreds of thousands of
dollars, including eCom's SEC accounting firm. Other outstanding eCom debts
included over $110,000 in employee wages and unpaid expenses, including expenses
which were placed on employee personal credit cards to cover expenses directly
incurred by eCom, some of which included the previously announced spin-off
process costs.
As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, auditors cannot remain independent and
be a creditor at the same time. Subsequent to eCom's December 3, 2003 public
press release regarding the spin-off of USA SportsNet, the management of
American Capital discovered eCom owed past due balances with its accountants,
Wieseneck & Andres, P.A. This undisclosed liability cost American Capital an
additional $75,000 as American Capital was forced to pay the auditing firm in
order to complete American Capital's audits, since American Capital is a spin-
off of eCom. Additionally, American Capital has been forced to continue this
financial assistance to bring all of the spinoff companies current with their
SEC qualified accountants and other creditors so that eCom could continue with
it's daily operations.
During the period from late December 2004 thru mid-March 2005, American
Capital and the petitioning creditors sympathized with the declining health
of eCom's CEO, David Panaia. These petitioning creditors have also
incurred considerable additional costs providing continued financial assistance
to honor what was promised to eCom's shareholders. These costs included
expenses to bring all of the spin-off companies current with their SEC filings,
36
SWAP AND SHOP.NET CORP
ITEM 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. (CONTINUED)
Federal Tax Returns, State Income Tax Returns, State Filing Fees, Accounting
Expenses, SEC Auditing Expenses, Legal, Administrative and other business-
related expenses. This process included utilizing American Capital employees, as
well as hiring outside assistance, i.e. additional accountants, tax assistance,
and outside attorneys to expedite the process.
On January 24, 2005, eCom was de-listed from trading on the OTC Bulletin Board
and began trading on the Pink Sheets for failure to file the Company's
November Form 10QSB. This de-listing was due to the fact the Company's
auditors had not been paid. Therefore, in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, the auditors could not be determined to be "independent". Accordingly,
eCom lost additional market value, thereby further injuring creditors and
shareholders of the company.
Due to Mr. Panaia's health-related issues, during the period of January thru
mid-March 2005, eCom requested three (3) extensions to reply to the above
described Involuntary Chapter 11, Title 11 United States Southern District
Bankruptcy Petition In Re: eComeCom.com, Inc. Case No. 04-34535 BKC-SHF. With
consideration to Mr. Panaia's declining health, all of the petitioning
creditors voluntarily consented to these extensions. Notwithstanding these
voluntary extensions, and due to the extensive ongoing telephone inquiries from
eCom shareholders who had bought shares in the public marketplace based on the
past public press release representations of Mr. Panaia, the management of
American Capital and the petitioning creditors had no choice but to make past
promises good beginning with getting the spin-off companies in full regulatory
compliance. This endeavor included the preparation of (a) thirty (30)
10QSB's; (b); ten (10) 10K's; (c) ten (10) Form 10SB's SEC Registration
Statements; (d) twenty six (26) total State and Federal Tax Returns; (e) ten
(10) applications for the required SEC EDGAR CIK Numbers; (f) and ten (10) of
the Transfer Agent- required Standard & Poor's Cusip Numbers. Additionally,
there has been a tremendous administrative effort in bringing all the spin-off
companies current with respect to public company reporting requirements,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. American Capital's management and the
petitioning creditors accomplished these tasks to eliminate any further
liabilities to eCom shareholders.
On March 20, 2005, the Chairman/CEO and majority shareholder of eCom, David J.
Panaia, died from health complications. The former President and Director of
eCom, Richard C. Turner, is acting as interim CEO for eCom, without
process of restoring shareholder value is well underway, Mr. Richmond plans to
compensation. The Company is making application to the United States Bankruptcy
Court to appoint Barney A. Richmond, who has agreed to do so without
compensation, as its new Chief Executive Officer, whose official appointment is
subject to bankruptcy court approval. Although the process of restoring
shareholder value is well underway, both Mr. Richmond and Mr. Turner plan to
stay with the company without compensation until the proposed reorganization
plans of all the companies are complete.

In order to facilitate a more reasonable share structure based on the company's
existing financial assets, on May 26, 2005 the Board approved a resolution
authorizing a 100-to-1 Reverse Split of the outstanding 49,955,112 shares of
the spin-off companies. Each company will purchase all fractional shares at
market price, thereby resulting in total outstanding shares of 499,503 as of May
27, 2005. The Record Date for the remaining spin-offs was set as May 27, 2005,
and all share certificates due to the shareholders of the above referenced
companies were mailed on June 2, 2005.
A group of several of American Capital Holdings, Inc.'s and other outside
shareholders have designated resources to capitalize and complete viable
business plans for the all of the above referenced spin-off companies. To begin
the process of paying expenses relating to the commencement of their respective
business purposes, on May 31, 2005 several new shareholders provided initial
funding of $400,000 to eight (8) of the above referenced companies. This funding
will be reflected in each company's forthcoming respective Form 10SB audits and
filings, which are planned to be filed by July 8, 2005. This initial funding is
to cover legal, accounting and other expenses, including due diligence costs
related to proposed forthcoming acquisitions. More funding is planned for each
company throughout the June 1, 2005 thru August 30, 2005 quarter in accordance
with 506 Reg. D Private Placement procedures, which will become available only
to accredited investors. Additionally, a plan is being formulated, subject to
bankruptcy court approval, which will provide a 100% payout to all of eCom's
outstanding creditors. The new management believes these efforts combined with
execution of the new business plans not only will recapture the lost shareholder
value of eCom, but will also enhance the viability of future long term
shareholder value as well.
Acquisitions negotiations are underway and will be separately announced upon
completion. Management is confident in their ability to execute these
forthcoming plans.
