NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of STARTCALL.COM, INC.
The Company: STARTCALL.COM, INC. (the "Company"), incorporated in the State of
-----------
Florida effective October 19, 1999 (Date of Inception), established its
corporate offices in Miami, Florida.
On June 7, 2000, the Company filed an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
effecting a name change to STARTCALL.COM, INC., and changed its capital
structure as disclosed in Note G to these financial statements.
Because the Company meets the criteria of a development stage enterprise, as
discussed more fully below, these financial statements are presented in
accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Number 7,
Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises".
Nature of the Business: The Company plans on operating as an Application Service
Provider, or ASP, and offering real-time interaction technology as an outsource
service. Management is in the process of establishing a viable solution to
real-time access to commerce business over the Internet. The Company plans to
offer these businesses the opportunity to improve their online customer care
service capabilities by placing an internet voice box and a Text Chat button
with a URL push feature on the websites of some of these potential domestic and
international business customers. These tools should not only provide the
visitors and customers of a particular website live help at the crucial point of
purchase, but they should also facilitate other types of needed assistance.
Development Stage Enterprise: The Company is currently devoting substantially
-----------------------------
all of its efforts to establishing a new business and its planned principle
operations have not commenced as of September 30, 2001. In their efforts to
establish a new business, management is commencing with design of its business
and marketing plans that include the following: preparation of a financial plan,
cash forecast and operating budget; identifying markets to raise additional
equity capital and debt financing; embarking on research and development
activities; performing employment searches, recruiting and hiring technicians
and management and industry specialists; acquiring operational and technological
assets; and, developing market and distribution strategies. General and
administrative expenses include professional fees, internet service charges, and
other related operating expenses. Marketing and promotional expenses include
costs incurred in connection with raising capital and promoting the Company.

(Unaudited)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Research and Development Costs: Generally accepted accounting principles state
------------------------------
that costs that provide no discernible future benefits, or allocating costs on
the basis of association with revenues or among several accounting periods that
serve no useful purpose, should be charged to expense in the period occurred.
Since the Company is in its development stage, SFAS No. 2 "Accounting for
Research and Development Costs" requires that certain costs be charged to
current operations including, but not limited to: salaries and benefits;
contract labor; consulting and professional fees; depreciation; repairs and
maintenance on operational assets used in the production of prototypes; testing
and modifying product and service capabilities and design; and, other similar
costs.
Basis of Presentation: In accordance with SFAS No.7, the Company's policy
----------------------
regarding the preparation of these financial statements includes the presenting,
in addition to its statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
(deficiency) equity and cash flows, the cumulative amounts of revenues and
expenses, stockholder equity transactions and cash flows since Inception through
September 30, 2001.
The Company's independent accountants are including a "going concern" paragraph
in their review report accompanying these financial statements that cautions the
users of the Company's financial statements that these statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty because
the Company is a development stage enterprise that has not commenced its planned
principal operations. Furthermore, the "going concern" paragraph states that the
Company's ability to continue is also dependent on its ability to, among other
things, obtain additional debt and equity financing, identify customers, secure
vendors and suppliers, and establish an infrastructure for its operations.
Even though the Company has not commenced planned principal operations or
generated revenues from prospective customers nor has it secured the funding
necessary to meet its current working capital needs, management believes that,
despite the extent of the financial requirements and funding uncertainties going
forward, it has under development a business plan that, if successfully funded
and executed as an integral part of a financial structuring, the Company can
overcome the concerns of the independent accountants within the next twelve
months.

(Unaudited)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Management continues to actively seek various sources and methods of short and
long-term financing and support; however, there can be no assurances that some
or all of the necessary financing can be obtained. Management continues to
explore alternatives that include seeking strategic investors, lenders and/or
technology partners and pursuing other transactions that, if consummated, might
ultimately result in the dilution of the interest of the current stockholders.
Because of the nature and extent of the uncertainties, many of which are outside
the control of the Company, there can be no assurances that the Company will be
able to ultimately consummate planned principal operations or secure the
necessary financing.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments,
which in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the periods shown. The results of operations for such
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
fiscal year or for any future period. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-SB for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Start-up Costs: Cost incurred in connection with commencing operations,
---------------
including general and administrative expenses, are charged to operations in the
period incurred.
Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenues upon the delivery of a
-------------------
product or service. Installation, maintenance and service fees paid in advance
by customers are initially recorded as deferred revenues and subsequently
amortized over the life of their respective contract periods.
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation
----------------------
and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of
depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. When
applicable, leasehold improvements and capital leases are amortized over the
lives of respective leases, or the service lives of the improvements, whichever
is less.
The straight-line method of depreciation is used for financial reporting
purposes.

the period October 19, 1999 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2001
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
The estimated useful lives, of property and equipment, are as follows:
YEARS
-----
Computer equipment, peripherals and software 2-3
Office equipment 3-5
Furniture and fixtures 5-7
Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly extend the useful
life of an asset are capitalized. The costs of software used in the business
operations are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful lives.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when
incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the cost of the asset and the related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is
recognized at such time.
Earnings Per Common Share: In calculating earnings per common share, basic
-------------------------
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, excluding the diluted effects of
stock options.
Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
------------------
accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual
results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include, but
not be limited to, those pertaining to the estimated useful lives of property
and equipment and software, determining the estimated net realizable value of
receivables, and the realization of deferred tax assets.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company will account for stock-based compensation
-------------------------
using the intrinsic vale method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Compensation costs
for stock options, if any, are measured as the excess of the quoted market price
of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount the employee must
pay to acquire the stock. Restricted stock is recorded as compensation costs
over the requisite vesting periods based on the market value on the date of
grant. Compensation costs for shares issued under performance share plans are
recorded based upon the current market value of the Company's stock at the end
of each period.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", established accounting and disclosure requirements
using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation plans. The Company is electing to use APB Opinion No. 25 as its
method of accounting and is adopting the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.
123.
The fair value of each option grant is to be estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and certain weighted-average
assumptions. As of September 30, 2001 no options have been granted.
Risks and Uncertainties: Management regularly evaluates risks and uncertainties
-----------------------
and, when probable that a loss or expense will be incurred, a charge to current
period operations is recorded.
Even though the Company does not have sufficient assets and liquidity, the
Company's management has elected to self-insure the Company against losses, if
any, that might be otherwise insurable if the Company maintained business
insurance including; business interruption; property, wind and flood; general
and automobile liability; errors and omissions; and, officers and directors
coverage. From inception through September 30, 2001, management is not aware of
any event, transaction or matter that requires disclosure and/or adjustment to
these financial statements with respect to uninsured losses, except as many
otherwise be disclosed in these footnotes. However, because of the current
financial condition of the Company, should any uninsured claim or loss occur,
the ability of the Company to continue might be adversely effected.
Additionally, the Company has agreed, as set forth in it's By-Laws, to indemnify
to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by current or future legislation,
judicial or administrative decision, all past and present employees, agents,
directors, officers and representatives against any fine, liability, cost or
expense asserted against them or incurred by them in the above capacities.
Because of the rapid evolution of the industry in which the Company operates,
its ability to operate may be adversely effected by future changes in Federal
and state regulations.
Income Taxes: On December 29, 1999, the stockholders holding a majority of the
------------
shares of the Company's issued and outstanding shares voted to terminate its
S-election with the Internal Revenue Service, with an effective date retroactive
to October 19, 1999.

(Unaudited)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be recovered. The Company
provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not
consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
NOTE B - OFFERING MEMORANDUM
The Company filed a Form U-7 SCOR Offering Memorandum, on July 26, 2000, under
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However,
this share offering was not registered under the 1933 Act, or the securities
laws of any state. The Offering was made available for sale in Nevada and, in
order to meet the conditions for exemption from the registration requirements
under the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, accredited investors who are
residents of such jurisdiction will be required to meet certain suitability
requirements.
The Company planned on offering a maximum of 706,750 shares of the Company's
$.000666 par value common stock at an offering price of $.40 per share. However,
the actual amount of shares sold was 707,500. The issuance of these shares has a
dilutive effect on the book value per share of the Company's common stock. The
total amount of gross proceeds realized on the Offering totaled $283,000.
This Offering was made on an "all-or-none basis" utilizing subscription
agreements containing the applicable terms, conditions and requirements; there
are no underwriters; and, the Company was required to maintain on deposit with
an escrow agent the proceeds from the Offering equaling twenty-five (25%)
percent of the total gross proceeds until all of the securities under this
Offering are sold.

NOTE F - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Articles of Incorporation, initially filed with the State of Florida,
authorize only one class of stock: 1000 shares of one ($1.00) dollar par value
common stock. The holders of these shares of common stock do not have cumulative
voting rights. Shares are not issued until paid for in full.
On June 7, 2000, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Articles of
Incorporation, authorizing the Company to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of
$.000666 par value common stock. On June 29, 2000, the 1000 previously issued
and outstanding shares of the $1.00 par value common stock were tendered by each
shareholder and cancelled. In exchange for the tendered shares, on July 1, 2000
the Company issued 1,499,950 shares of its $.000666 par value stock that
resulted in a dilution of the Company's book value per share.
As more fully disclosed in Note B to these financial statements, the Offering
Memorandum provides for the sale of an additional 707,500 shares of the
Company's $.000666 par value common stock at a price of $.40 per share.

expense.
The Distribution Agreements may also be terminated by either party with seven
(7) days prior written notice in the event of an occurrence of certain defined

Dealer/Promoter Agreements: During 2000, the Company executed various
----------------------------
non-exclusive agreements whereby these independent contractors agree to use
their best efforts to cause end-users to purchase the Company's services. During
the terms of these Agreements, the Company has agreed to pay the

more fully described in each of the duly executed original service agreements.
These Agreements expire under various criteria ranging from the earlier of Nine
(6) to twelve (12) months, or the sale of two (2000) to five (5,000) thousand
accounts of ClickIChat and/or ClickICall services. The Agreements are renewable
under certain conditions and may be cancelled by either party with thirty (30)

Stock Compensation Plans: On December 29, 1999, the Board of Directors approved
-------------------------
the adopting of three stock option plans that will provide for the granting of
stock options to officers and key employees. The objectives of these plans
include attracting and retaining the quality personnel, providing for additional
performance incentives, and promoting the success of the Company by
providing employees the opportunity to acquire the common stock of the Company.
In connection with these plans, the Company is authorized to grant options up to
714,285 shares. Options to be granted under these plans will be at prices, which
are either equal to or above the market value of the stock on the date of grant,
vest over two-, three-and four-year periods, and expire ten years after the
grant dates.
The Company will account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees", under which no compensation cost for stock options
is recognized for stock option awards granted at or above fair market value. If
the compensation expense for the Company's three stock-based plans are
determined based upon fair values at the grant dates for awards under these
plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", the Company's net earnings and

with earnings per share will be reduced to pro forma amounts to be disclosed in
the financial statements for the applicable periods.
As of September 30, 2001, the Company has not granted any stock options or
rights.
NOTE H- CONTINGENCIES
Going Concern: As discussed previously in Note A to these financial statements,
-------------
uncertainties exist with respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
Lack of Insurance: As previously discussed in these financial statements, the
-----------------
Company does not maintain any insurance coverage and the Company therefore, is
in violation of certain agreements. Upon receipt of the net proceeds, if any,
from the Offering Memorandum discussed in Note B to these financial statements,
management intends to secure the necessary insurance coverage. No estimates have
been made as to the amounts that may be required should an unexpected loss occur
and, accordingly, no accruals have been made in these financial statement for
self-insurance reserves that might be necessary.
NOTE I- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
requires two presentations of earnings (loss) per share - "basic" and "diluted."
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted- average number of common shares
(the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per
share is similar to basic earning per share, except that the denominator is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. The
numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for
each period is the reported net income (loss). The denominator is based on the
following weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each of the
respective periods:
October 19, 1999
(Inception) through
September 30, 2000 September 30, 2001 September 30, 2001

(Unaudited)
NOTE I - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK - Continued
A difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares arises
from the assumption that dilutive stock options outstanding, if any, are
exercised. Stock options and warrants are not included in the diluted earnings
(loss) per share calculation when the exercise price is greater than the average
market price. The Company does not have any stock options outstanding as of
September 30, 2001.
NOTE J - INCOME TAXES
As previously discussed, the stockholders elected to terminate, retroactively to
October 19, 1999,
the S-Corporation income tax filing status for the Company. The stockholders are
filing with the Internal Revenue Service, a letter of request for retroactive
termination, accompanied by the Statement of Consent to Revocation of Election
signed by the stockholders. The Company is confident that the IRS will grant the
Company's request to be a C corporation and, accordingly, these financial
statements are prepared under the SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
The Company did not provide any current or deferred US federal or state income
tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because it has
experienced operating losses since inception. The Company has provided a full
valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset, consisting primarily of a net
operating loss, because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability.
At September 30, 2001 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $474,340. Utilization of these net operating losses, which begin
to expire in year 2019, may be subject to certain limitations under section 382
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and other limitations under
state tax laws.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred tax assets at June 30 are approximately as follows:
2001 2000

Net operating loss carryforward $ 178,500 $ 84,000

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes appearing
subsequently under the caption "Financial Statements." The following discussion
and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the
results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.
During the past fourteen months, the Company has spent considerable time and
capital resources defining and developing its strategic plan for delivering and
operating its real-time interactive e-commerce technology.
The Company will manage the marketing launch of its services from its office in
Miami where it currently manages the administration and coordination for all of
its other activities. Such responsibilities include the installation of the
ClickiCall and ClickiChat services to business' websites, technical support,
daily bookkeeping and scheduling of employee responsibilities. The installation
of the ClickiChat service is automated and therefore businesses that are
interested in adding our ClickiChat service can simply fill out an online sign
up page. The Company's system will automatically, within 60 to 120 seconds, send
back to the new register user an account number, login name and password with
all instructions in order to set-up their ClickiChat account. Please visit our
sign up page at: www.liveinternethelp.com/signup.htm.
The installation of the ClikiCall also requires interested parties to sign up an
online form. Once the Company receives the order it takes approximately 24 hours
to get back to its customers with all necessary information in order for them to
install this service onto their Web site.
The Company launched its service July 1st 2001. The Company intends to continue
attracting new marketing partners to continue increasing the brand name of its
services and continue increasing its customer base. In addition, the Company
intends to continue its ongoing marketing campaign for the following 12 months.
Currently, the Company spends approximately $15,000 per month. In order to fund
the Company, the officers and directors of the Company will continue making
capital contributions to the Company as required. StartCall now expects to start
generating revenues as soon as February, 2002 and estimates that it will have
close to or over 1,000 paying customers by February 28th 2002. At the minimum
income per customer of $29.95, the Company should be generating sufficient funds
to cover its current monthly expenses. The Company anticipates that it will
continue adding new services to its service menu with any potential new services
related to its market area.
There are currently over 8,000 Internet Service Providers or ISP's and
web-hosting companies in the United States. The regional nature of their
business usually creates a fixed customer base and margin sensitive business.
StartCall intends to capitalize on these conditions by offering the ISP a
simple, effective way to:
1) Add an additional revenue stream that is nearly risk free and
extremely high margin;
2) Offer a set of services that allows them to differentiate
themselves from the competition; and
3) Promote themselves as a business that cares about consumer
privacy and control on the Internet.
Because StartCall hosts ClickiChat/Support, ISPs will have no internal knowledge
transfer or set-up costs. They simply sign-up as a partner, up-sell to their
clients, and start receiving royalty checks.
Another rapidly growing segment of the e-CRM market is web-based customer
interaction ("WCI"). The WCI market is built upon the premise that
relationships, by their very nature, require a two-way communication. WCI
focuses on translating the traditional web based experience of a human
interacting with a computer into a human interacting with a human over an
electronic medium. WCI software sales are expected to reach $1.8 billion by
2004.
The Company does not foresee purchasing any major equipment or changes on the
number of employees for the next 6 months. The Company feels that once it
reaches approximately 10,000 customers, new positions will be available in the
areas of customer service, marketing and business development.
The Company anticipates that it will raise additional funding once it reaches
10,000 customers within the next twelve (12) months.
Development Stage Revenues
--------------------------
The Company's operations have been devoted primarily to designing its business
and marketing plans and building an infrastructure. The ability of the Company
to achieve its business objectives is contingent upon its success in raising
additional capital until adequate revenues are realized from operations.
Development Stage Expenses
--------------------------
Development stage expenses during the fourteen-month period primarily consisted
of accounting, legal, consulting and office expenses which are necessitated by
operating in a public environment. Ongoing increases to development stage
expenses are anticipated during the year 2001.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Despite capital contributions and related party loans, the Company from time to
time experienced cash flow shortages that have slowed the Company's growth.
Through September 30, 2001, the consequences of those cash flow shortages has
been an increase of accrued expenses and stockholder loans bringing those
amounts to approximately $61,000 and $138,000, respectively.
The Company has primarily financed its activities from sales of capital stock of
the Company and from loans from its shareholders. A significant portion of the
funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working
capital needs such as office expenses and various consulting and professional
fees.
The Company continues to experience cash flow shortages, and anticipates this
continuing through the foreseeable future. Management believes that additional
funding will be necessary in order for it to continue as a going concern. The
Company is investigating several forms of private debt and equity financing,
although there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in
procuring such financing or that it will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company.
