Our telephone number at our United States office is 678.222.3456.

We have one subsidiary, Shanghai Broadband Network, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the People's Republic of China on September 26, 2000, which operates under the name Shanghai Zhong Kuan Xin Xi Wang Luo You Xian Gong Si. We currently own 92.86% of Shanghai Broadband Network with the remaining interests owned as follows: 3.57% by Shanghai Infoservice Tower Enterprise Development Ltd. and 3.57% by The Technical Center of the Shanghai Information Authority. Shanghai Broadband Network's principal office is located at Suite 1212, Tomson Commercial Building, 710 Dong Fang Road, Pudong, Shanghai, People's Republic of China, P.O. 200122.

In 2000, we acquired a <R>70%</R> interest in a feasibility study and business plan, which forms the basis of the collaborative agreement between <R>Shanghai Infoservice Tower Enterprise Development Ltd. and </R>Multicyber, Inc., a company <R>which was, at the time,</R> controlled by the <R>then President </R> of our company <R>(who currently is the CEO of our company)</R> for the payment of $100,000 in cash to Multicyber, Inc. The transaction was recorded as a pre-operational <R>business development </R> expense in <R>the year ended December 31, </R>2000. Subsequently, <R>our company, Shanghai Infoservice and The Technical Center of Shanghai Innovation Authority incorporated Shanghai Broadband Network, Inc. on September 26, 2000, with an initial registered capital of $1 million</R>, to participate in a joint venture project to develop and distribute <R> internet </R> broadband network products and services. <R>Pursuant to the collaborative agreement between our company, Shanghai Infoservice and The Technical Center, we </R> initially owned a 75% interest in Shanghai Broadband Network, <R> Inc. with the remaining 25% interest being owned by the other partners. In exchange for its 75%</R> interest in Shanghai Broadband Network, <R> Inc., we contributed $750,000 in cash to the subsidiary and in exchange for their respective share of the 25% interest in Shanghai Broadband Network, Inc., Shanghai Infoservice and The Technical Center transferred the right to use the broadband network resources in Shanghai valued at $250,000 (being the value agreed by both parties) </R> into Shanghai Broadband Network, <R> Inc. and the amount is recorded as an intangible asset on the consolidated balance sheet. All three parties also agreed to establish a board of directors with five members and pursuant to a supplementary agreement between our company, Shanghai Infoservice and The Technical Center, we have complete control in the management and operation of Shanghai Broadband Network, Inc., including the appointment of members of the board of directors, while Shanghai Infoservice and The Technical Center are only entitled to Shanghai Broadband Network, Inc.'s dividend distribution and are not liable for debt incurred by Shanghai Broadband Network, Inc. In the event that Shanghai Broadband Network, Inc. is dissolved, Shanghai Infoservice and The Technical Center will not be liable for any debt payable after the dissolution.</R>

The Technical Center of the Shanghai Information Authority is a Shanghai municipal government organization in charge of the development of the broadband infrastructure in the city of Shanghai. The Shanghai Infoservice Tower Enterprise Development Ltd. is a local Shanghai company with interests in a Internet data centre and who holds an education licence.

Our company designs and provides educational programs delivered in a variety of ways: (a) in a purely online format through the computer and/or over the Internet; (b) as blended learning programs with a portion of the program taught in a training centre and a portion delivered on a computer or over the Internet (which the student can complete at the training centre or at home); and (c) in a classroom campus setting which combines traditional classroom sessions with onsite workshops where a portion of the program is delivered on a computer in the onsite workshop. We currently provide four different content programs, three of which are focused on teaching English in China. The other program is focused on teaching international business in English and Chinese in China.

<R>Our</R> educational programs currently include:

29

- Fudan New English

<R>- IE21 English</R>

- Fudan International Business Diploma

- GE300 Government English Learning Program

Through various partnership agreements with content providers including Q Group Plc, the Open Learning Foundation and Shanghai General Foreign Language Testing Center, we have incorporated some of the English language content into our programs. Q Group, PLC is leading producer of multimedia theme based educational content created from a resource base of educational experts. Open Learning Foundation is a consortium of UK based universities which have designed and produced business content.

The Shanghai General Foreign Language Testing <R>Center</R> is a department operating under the second largest foreign language university in China called Shanghai Foreign Language University. We have a joint venture collaborative arrangement with the Testing Centre department of this university. This department is the government authorized centre to provide English language testing for various target and required markets such as government civil servants. <R> Pursuant to this arrangement, we have agreed to work with the Testing Center department to establish a learning and testing center to prepare employees of the Shanghai Municipal Government for the GE 300 Government English Test discussed below. We have agreed to supply the online and paper teaching materials and the Testing Center has agreed to provide the physical facilities, the teaching staff and conduct a review of the teaching materials. Under the arrangement, we have agreed that we will retain 75% and the Teaching Center will retain 25% of any profit generated from the operation of this learning center. To date, we have not earned any revenue from this operation.</R>

We obtained the right to use, pursuant to a collaborative agreement, the content which may not be suitable to be sold in its present format and we prepare it for market by aggregating, developing and producing enhanced, customized and localized programs for the sale and distribution in China.

The Q Group has invested to produce a multi-tiered English language multimedia learning system. Pursuant to the collaborative agreement, we <R>shared </R> the ownership of the license for the "bilingual Internet enabled" version called Quartet Chinese English Online with the Q Group in exchange for our participation in the development and marketing of our system. <R> On May 20, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Q Group Plc whereby in consideration of us paying Q Group $250,000 ($150,000 before May 30, 2004, and $50,000 before each of May 30, 2005 and 2006), Q Group granted us a perpetual license to use Q Group's Chinese-English learning content in our product lines. As part of the agreement, we agreed to reduce the use of Q Group's content such that it will represent not more than 50% of the content in our product lines after June 30, 2006. The Q Group also agreed that they would not license their content to parties in the government public educational sectors before June 30, 2006 in Shanghai, Jiangsu province and Zhejiang province and that we would have an exclusive license expiring on June 30, 2006 (except for the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces which will expire on June 30, 2005). We have agreed not to establish a Fudan New English training centre and not to directly advertise Fudan New English in the Guangdong province before June 30, 2005.</R>

In China, we have partnered the Fudan University in order to receive accreditation for two of our educational programs, Fudan New English and Fudan International Business Diploma. Students who successfully complete either of these programs will receive a certificate from the Fudan University. Fudan University is an established and recognized top tier university in China for comprehensive and business studies. This university is our partner for jointly offering and delivering the Fudan New English and Fudan International Business programs.

30

We have also established relationships with academic institutions in China, North America and the United Kingdom. In China, we have established relationships with over 15 universities. Through these relationships, we intend to introduce their educational content to the Chinese educational market.

Through partnership agreements with academic institutions and other educational organizations, we share co-branding trademark rights to Fudan New English, Fudan International Business and Interactive GE 300 with Shanghai Foreign Language University Test Centers with these institutions and organizations.

One of the problems in teaching foreign languages is the rate at which students progress in learning the foreign language. Some students learn quicker than other students. Other problems include the lack of experienced teachers and high quality educational material. By combining traditional classroom teaching methods with modern computerized and Internet based content, we believe that we have developed a system that addresses these two problems.

Modern computers with multimedia capabilities combined with high-speed networks including the Internet can deliver educational content to a larger number of students. Students can opt for technology-driven teaching that is completely online (computer and/or Internet based), or they can select a combination of live classroom teaching and computer and/or Internet teaching.

Programs using multimedia effects produce an exciting learning experience using linguistically and academically approved English language, colorful and varying visual and auditory special effects, integrated tests, quizzes and numerous options for the student to learn in various ways.

English language training is becoming an increasingly important part of the traditional school curriculum in China. The preschools and primary schools have both started implementing English language teaching. However, the school system in China is finding it difficult to identify and hire enough qualified teachers to satisfy growing demand for English language teaching. In addition, the school system needs to identify innovative ways of motivating students to actively start learning English at a young age.

Our E-Ya Kids English program is designed to strengthen the English preschool and primary school curriculum by providing pedagogic and entertainment based interactive multi media content that inspires young children to study and learn English. Our E-Ya Kids English program assists in motivating students while supporting and strengthening the teacher's knowledge. A critical component in our program is that it has been developed with a training structure that is integrated with the existing preschool primary schools official English language curriculum. The program is integrated in the core curriculum and used as supplementary teaching material.

Our E-Ya Kids English program includes 103 multimedia activities. Activities are divided in 14 theme based units with 5 to 6 training activities in each unit. In addition to the theme based units the product includes game based learning activities such as memory and crossword games, stories with short cartoon movies, word learning activities and test activities.

This program is a computer and classroom based learning program designed to teach English to children aged 5 to 12. The children work with this interactive software program to learn English in a classroom setting while being guided by their teachers. Paper manuals are provided for both the students and the teachers.

We have been focussed on marketing our program to the various school districts authorities in China. By targeting our sales efforts on the district school authorities, a large number of schools can be accessed through the same channel. Initial trials have been carried out in cooperation with the Pudong, Shanghai Education Information Center in 14 schools representing 10,000 students in the Pudong district of Shanghai. The Pudong school district is one of the largest school districts in the 15 districts of Shanghai. In this

31

district there are approximately 250,000 students in 120 elementary schools and 115 combined total of middle and high schools. The district is a leading district for bilingual teaching in Shanghai. The Pudong District also has the technology required to operate our program as currently approximately 150 of the schools in Pudong have high speed Internet connections both utilizing the networks operated by the Shanghai government and by China Telecom respectively.

After testing the programs the Pudong Education Authority <R> approved </R> our program so that individual schools in the district will be allowed to use our program as part of the school's official curriculum material.

We intend to charge each of the schools an annual, two year or three year license fee for our program. We will also encourage each of the students to supplement their school learning materials with access to our Internet based website which contains additional other education material and games. Students will also be able to purchase a complete a 3-in-1 package to support their children's educational development, which includes written materials, a compact disc and access to our Internet based website.

Once the program has been approved by the school district and schools license the program, we will deliver this program through our classroom campus setting. The price for site licenses vary per license depending on the length of term of the license and the volume of site licenses sold.

<R>For example, each school in a district will pay the following amounts depending on the number of users:

On May 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement with the Shanghai Pudong Education Information Center. Under this agreement, we have agreed to supply our E-Ya Kids program to schools in this school district at a price of $3,630 (30,000 RMB) for two years (if prepaid in one lump sum) or at a price of $12 (100 RMB) per month for each class. We have agreed to allocate 10% of our total revenues generated from this contract and reinvest them in the next version of the program to ensure that the program is continually updated for the students of this school district. The 10% revenue will be recorded against the research and development costs for the next version of this program. The school district has agreed to expend $48,400 (400,000 RMB) for the introduction of our software in the schools in the district.

Each individual student also has the option to purchase the 3-in-1 package (written materials, compact disc or access to the website) (for after school use) over the internet for $2 (15 RMB) per month or $18 (150 RMB) per year.

We no longer have any obligation to share any of the revenue generated from the program as we have purchased the intellectual property from the Q Group. <R> In addition, we continue to add content from internal resources and experts in this field.</R>

To March 31, 2004, we have not earned any license fees from the sale of licenses for our E-Ya Kids English program.

- Overview

The program for our Fudan New English and IE21 branded products </R>was launched in November 2003. Originated by Q Group Plc., our program is based on the Quartet Chinese English Online product, an integrated English as a second language (ESL) learning system including student textbook, teacher's guide and multimedia learning materials. A key feature of our program is its integration of traditional classroom teaching methods with computer and/or Internet educational content and teaching. We worked in partnership with Fudan University on <R>adapting</R> the former Quartet Chinese English Online product <R> for the Fudan New English platform.</R> We spent significant time in translating the text and localizing the content to meet the demands of students in China.

The program was developed through a partnership between our company, Shanghai Online Education Center of Shanghai Telecom and the Fudan University School of Network Education. <R>It </R> contains approximately 750 hours of interactive and multimedia self-learning software, 64 units of intensive online teaching video lectures, e-magazines and interactive classrooms that can be delivered to students in a classroom setting, over the Internet or across private networks. <R>Fudan University has extensively reviewed the content of our program and partnered with us to facilitate delivery of this product to students in a classroom setting.</R>

<R>There are four levels to the program, delivered in four large modules: <R>Foundation, Improve, Advanced and Professional.</R> The content is <R> a comprehensive and internationally unified platform </R> divided into a wide variety of subject matter, including social communications skills, business customs, geography, history<R> and </R> travel. <R>Each of the four modules is 45 to 51 hours in length, and is divided into four session periods. Each session period is 15 to 17 weeks in duration. We continue to enhance the platform by producing additional content from our resources and experts in this field in both written and video formats.</R>

The program is delivered in three different formats as follows:

The student textbooks present a wide range of content covering various aspects of human society and feature exercises with incremental difficulty on English grammar, reading and writing. The online learning materials are <R>designed to be used in conjunction </R> with the student textbooks <R>in a</R> complementary <R>manner</R> to provide students <R>with </R> an enjoyable learning experience. The teachers' guide enables teachers to prepare the class with the minimum time and monitor students' learning process via the management software.

<R>The intended market for this product are post-secondary school students and other adults who wish to learn the English language. We intend to market the product to college and university students, corporations who wish to provide English learning to their employees and educational institutions who wish to use our program to teach English at their educational institutions.</R>

This program <R>is capable of being </R> delivered to businesses or groups over private computer networks like a company's intranet, through satellite or by supportive compact disc, provided that such businesses or groups have a connection to the Internet. The program can be delivered to a individual users of the business or group or projected onto a large display. Students also have the option of taking the program completely over the Internet. We can deliver this program anywhere in China, provided that the user has a connection to the Internet. For those users who do not have high speed access to the Internet, we provide a compact disc containing

33

encrypted forms of the largest files. Students who purchase the online program receive a student card which will entitle them to access some of the materials over a narrowband Internet connection.

<R>The online version of the Fudan New English program will be marketed over the internet through banner advertising by China Telecom. We also intend to market this program by placing advertisements in newspapers and brochures. Fudan University will market this program by circulating brochures to its students and by printing an advertisement in its course calendar. The franchisees who operate the training centers will conduct their own marketing to recruit students for the program. We will market the program to businesses and other groups who may want to use the program for their companies.

- Training Centers

The classroom sessions are taught through training centers operated by franchisees of our company. We provide the classroom <R> courseware</R> materials including student textbooks, teacher manuals and the software program; <R> with various access methods</R> the franchisee provides the classroom infrastructure, computers and teachers. We also provide extensive training and support to the teachers at the training centers.

Since the program is marketed under the Fudan New English and <R> our </R> IE21 brand names the training centers are differentiated on this basis as well. At Fudan New English branded training centers, the parties involved in executing the program are the training center, Fudan University, China Telecom and our subsidiary. In contrast, at IE21 branded training centers, the program is executed by the training center and our subsidiary.

Fudan New English branded training centers are further differentiated from IE21 training centers by strict guidelines imposed by Fudan University on academic quality control, program pedagogy and branding. Upon completion of the program in a Fudan New English training center, Fudan University will issue a "Fudan New English Certificate" to the student. In contrast, no certificate is issued to students who complete the program online or at a IE21 training center, since our online program and IE21 training centers are not subject to academic accreditation by Fudan University.</R>

Program sales, revenue collection, program feedback analysis, program upgrades and management are all the responsibility of our company, except for <R>Fudan New English </R> accreditation and testing which is the responsibility of Fudan University School of Network Education. Fudan University manages accreditation and collects a small test fee directly.

<R>Currently, there are three franchise training centers are running the Fudan New English program in Shanghai. In May 2004, we opened our own training center facility adjacent to our offices in Shanghai. This center offers training programs for individual students, training for channel partners and business monitoring of program performance, market surveys and program development. The center operates both IE21 English and Fudan New English branded programs. In June 2004, we entered into a franchise agreement with Shanghai Jiaoda Withub Training Center, who will operate an IE21 branded training center. This franchisee has agreed to pay $3,630 (30,000 RMB) as the initial fee. The training center will pay us $100 (830 RMB) for each student who enrolls in the blended program and $82 (680 RMB) for each student per program level who enrolls in the online only program..

- Franchise fees

Any franchisee who operates a Fudan New English or IE21 branded training center must pay a fixed fee for the right to use our program and for teaching support. Franchise fees generated by Fudan New English branded training centers will be shared equally between Fudan University and our company. In contrast, Fudan University is not entitled to any share of franchise fees generated from our online program or at IE21 branded training centers.

<R> To March 31, 2004, we have not received any franchise fees from any training centres.</R>

34

- Website infrastructure and support</R>

Shanghai Telecom, <R>a department of China Telecom</R>, provides all website infrastructure and support. In addition Shanghai Telecom provides access to its on line marketing channels at no incremental cost. Shanghai Telecom <R>also</R> provides other channels of marketing such as advertising on monthly telephone service bills, posters in telecom retail service and billing <R>centers </R> and connection to other market segments via China Telecom's infrastructure of various Internet portals. The training centers utilize their existing channels and various forms of advertising <R>to market the program, and may include </R> value added services to increase their own sales.

<R>- Program fees

Students buy the blended classroom and online program directly from the appropriate training centre. As discussed above, the program has four levels regardless of branding either as a Fudan New English or IE21 English program. The program fees payable by each student vary from $70 for beginner and improved level programs, to $90 for each of the advanced and professional level programs.

For our internal purposes, the </R> total program fee is split <R>into</R> two parts: one part representing the online service and one part representing the classroom based teaching service. Pursuant to our agreement with Fudan University, <R> for each Fudan New English training center </R> Fudan University receives 10% of the online service fees and <R> we receive 70% of the online service fees. Fudan University receives </R> 15% of the classroom teaching fees <R> and the training center receives 85% </R> of the classroom teaching fees. Pursuant to our agreement with Shanghai Telecom, Shanghai Telecom receives 20% of the online service fees in return for marketing our program and the provision of all data center infrastructure, where our website is currently hosted. All these agreements were reached in 2003 and are for a period of five years.

<R> For each IE21 branded training center, the training center will receive 100% of the classroom fees and we will receive 100% of the online service fees.</R>

<R>- Online delivery</R>

The online program is presently available in a combination of self learning and pre-recorded studio sessions. Later this year, live broadcast sessions will be available as an enhanced program. Students buy the online access time from our IE21 website using transactional based systems from China Pay, prepaid educational cards or fees paid during registration. We have only recently launched this program in 2004.

<R>- New corporate accounts

To March 31, 2004, we had not received any fees from this program. We have recently commenced marketing mainly our IE21 program to multinational corporations for their internal training centers. We have been focusing on foreign companies in Shanghai, but have begun to implement marketing efforts in Beijing since many enterprises are headquartered there. As disclosed below, we have recently signed on three corporate licensees of our IE21 English program and a fourth multinational corporation has authorized its employees to purchase the IE21 English Program from us directly. We experienced some delays in entering this market as a result of requests by prospective corporate customers to enhance our IE21 platform by adding content in Business Writing and Business Communication skills. We are continuing to fine tune and enhance the overall platform to meet the special requirements of this market.

On June 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. whereby Boehringer has purchased a one-year license to use our IE21 English program for its employees. Boehringer has agreed to pay $3,000 for the license and $200 for each user of the program.

On August 2, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Molex Incorporated whereby Molex has purchased a one-year license to use our IE21 English program for its employees. Molex has agreed to pay $13,040 for the license.

On August 2, 2004, we also entered into an agreement with GEA Technology Equipment (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. whereby GEA has purchased a one-year license to use our IE21 English program for its employees. GEA will pay $98 per user and $2,900 for 30 hours of classroom instruction.

During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2004, we introduced our IE21 English program to Intel Nutrition Dairy Product Ltd. which is internationally known as Dumex. Dumex has authorized its employees to purchase the program directly from us. As of July 15, 2004, we have sold 23 IE21 English programs to Dumex employees.</R>

<R>Fudan New English program formerly included interactive and user friendly pronunciation lessons</R> supported with bilingual instructions. <R> The pronunciation program included </R> listening exercises, pictorial instructions and sound analysis of pronunciation, comparative words, sentences, examples, exercises, speak articulation, intonation, timing/stress and other important capabilities.

<R>As of July, 2004, we have discontinued the sale of this program either alone or as a part of the Fudan New English program.</R>

Foreign companies currently employ almost 1.3 million people only in Shanghai. Foreign and multinational employers usually require their employees to be able to speak the English language and to have a basic understanding of international business practices especially with the increased exposure to foreign companies in China.

<R>We license this program on a non-exclusive basis from the Open Learning Foundation for a three year term. We have the ability to customize this program as we see fit for each particular application. We pay a yearly license fee of $5,750 (3,000 pounds) per year for use of this program and Fudan University paid a channel member license fee of $5,750 upon launch of the program. If we use this program in connection with a partner, other than Fudan University, then we have to pay an additional channel member license fee of approximately $5,750 per partner. We do not pay the Open Learning Foundation any part of gross revenues generated from this program. We intend to establish learning centers where we can deliver this program in China.</R>

Our Fudan International Business Diploma program is focussed on providing basic knowledge in international business and teaching the English language. The test pilot of this program was launched as a purely classroom based bilingual course in May 2003. Currently, no part of this program is provided through a computer program or over the Internet. Translation of the program into Chinese and independent Chinese content development was carried out by top level linguistic professionals from Fudan University. Course material was developed by the Open Learning Foundation. The program is accredited by the Fudan University and the Open Learning Foundation. Upon successful completion, students will receive a certificate from the Fudan University.

The program offers English-Chinese bilingual teaching of international business, including an introduction to western business theory and practice, practical business skills, basic marketing, international business strategy, principals of human resource management and international business decision analysis.

The next step in the development of our Fudan International Business Diploma program is to develop a blended learning programs combining <R>live video casts </R> training with traditional class room based training. <R>We are currently testing the live broadcast capability and once this testing is completed, we anticipate that we will launch this program late in fiscal 2004.</R>

The price for this program in its current format is $1,084 for a six module multi-chapter program. The program provides a strong foundation of integrated learning of business and English which was based on a UK university recognized Bachelors of Administration program. Prior to the commencement of each module and industry guest speaker launches each module followed by theory taught by top quality academic professionals from Fudan University. We were able to sell out one class of this program on a test basis without market advertising.

<R>If we provide this program in connection with a partner, like Fudan University, we will pay 35% of the gross revenues to the partner.

To March 31, 2004, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of this program.</R>

The program contains simple content of 300 English sentences which was developed in partnership with the central Shanghai Government's personnel bureau which has introduced mandatory English testing for all 40,000 government employees located in Shanghai. The program has been recently approved for use in the general public market and modeled into other cities. This is an online/offline program and we are currently in the process of expanding the capabilities of this program with plans to expand this program so that other government entitles will have access to the program. <R>In addition, this program is being reviewed for integration into our IE21 branded programs as an incremental entry program. Our partner additionally has access to a number of training centers in Shanghai.

Our company was responsible for transforming the GE 300 to a hybrid online/offline program, so that users of this program could access the information over the Internet. In consideration of converting this program to an online program, we will receive $100 for every employee who uses this product.

To March 31, 2004, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of this program.</R>

We are currently developing a new classroom and Internet based learning program that will teach science content to children aged 5 to 14 for primary and middle school market and applications within the high school market. We expect that this program will be completed in the first quarter of 2005.

We are planning to migrate the GE300 program to a mobile application and to target this program for sale to the general public.

As part of our pre-recorded learning sessions within the Fudan New English program we will continue to produce 45 minutes to 1 hour learning sessions in the studio production facilities provided under our partnership arrangement with Fudan University. In addition, we have access to a second studio production facility provided by our partnership with China Telecom.

International demand for English language instruction is growing rapidly. English is the dominant language of international business, medicine, diplomacy, academics, and technology. With the trend toward globalization accelerating, our company believes that demand for English instruction will increase at an even greater rate.

Our management believes that proficiency in English and western business education is becoming a goal of many Chinese people who want to work with or for foreign or multinational companies in or outside of China.

Economic development, urbanization and internationalization contribute to higher demand for education. <R>Our company's management believes that </R> Chinese families show a <R> stronger </R> interest in investing in their children's education <R>compared to </R> other countries that have high levels of public spending on education. <R> For example, the Shanghai Statistics Bureau has stated that the average spending on education has increased by 21.6% compared to five years ago.</R>

China is constrained by the shortage of teaching facilities and professional teachers. Therefore, only a limited market is being serviced by enhanced international educational content providers. Secondly, this content is offered via the traditional methods of offering such as sending Chinese students abroad to higher priced foreign institutions and/or receiving partial foreign education programs in China in traditional classroom settings without campus multimedia and computer network teaching methods. This existing delivery of international academic educational content is currently targeted to niche markets and is unaffordable to a significant majority of the population.

As a result, our focus is on providing academic quality international educational content. Our team members are <R>experienced </R> in understanding how to successfully convert "raw content" which can be understood as content ready for market by the international content partner, but in all cases requires limited or extensive modifications in order to conform to the local domestic requirements. <R>Our company is experienced as it has converted or modified several learning programs for the Chinese market.</R> We refer to this detailed area of expertise as educational content aggregation and localization. In this process of localization, we are involved with enhancing the educational content under strict quality assurance processes as we customize the content to meet the specific needs and applications of our client's target market(s).

Our websites are hosted by a server which is contained with the offices of China Telecom. Our telecom partnership provides equipment and network capabilities without Shanghai Broadband Network needing to make a capital equipment investment. This dependency on network capabilities is reduced since Shanghai Broadband Network's strategic shareholding partners have network provider access capabilities and licenses to provide similar services.

We share studio production facilities within Fudan University for the production of pre-recorded sessions, however, recently we have enabled enhanced features in our online programs which will allow us to sell live interactive learning sessions from our studio access to training centers, corporate training centers, schools and directly to the any location with Internet access.

Our target customers and sales channel partners for our educational programs are universities, colleges, <R> municipal</R>, school districts <R>(encompassing kindergarten, primary and second schools),</R> government <R> multinational</R> businesses <R>and publishing organizations</R>. In addition, we sell our branded programs directly to the end user. End users have the choice of self learning with pre-recorded sessions and will have the choice of interacting with <R>peers</R> and academic professionals by way of our live interactive learning programs. Support for students are provided though online educational services and from one of the channel partners.

We intend to sell our products and services using direct and indirect sales channels and various marketing methods. We are primarily focused on the development of distribution channels in China, including the development of franchised and affiliated training centers for our <R> IE21 branded programs, and the development of the Fudan New English and Fudan International Business Diploma programs. Initial development will focus on the geographical areas where Fudan University has a strong brand name. <R> We will also seek other entities to partner with us in the delivery of our IE21 programs, preferably with strong brand recognition in other areas of China to permit joint branding. We have established three Fudan New English training centers in Shanghai and <R> are planning on </R>will be establishing training centers in Beijing, Jingsu, Zhejang and Chongqing. For the online Fudan New English program, initial marketing will

38

be conducted through our partnership with Shanghai Telecom, who will actively market our programs to its current Internet subscribers.

<R> In addition, this program platform is available online to the retail student market. Our marketing team plans to reach this market via telesales and other marketing initiatives. Channel partner sales and additional strategic marketing programs are targeted for launch in September, 2004.

We have identified three basic business models: (a) franchises, (b) courseware authorization departments and (c) agency sales. Target franchise customers are the training centers, individuals and companies that would like to use either the Fudan New English or IE21 branded programs. Prospective courseware authorization department customers include departments of large nationwide corporate enterprises which must manage their own local corporate training centers. Generally, these two groups of prospective customers have their own training centers or are planning on establishing training facilities. In contrast, agency sales customers include enterprises that do not maintain any training centers, but instead would like to purchase prepaid cards for distribution to end users of the program. </R>

We also intend to market our programs by advertising in newspapers, printing and distributing brochures, attending and conducting conferences and trade shows and advertising on the Internet. <R>Our employees will market our various products by contacting potential customers by telephone, email and regular mail.</R> Brochures and other written materials will also be distributed by China Telecom, Fudan University and by our franchised and affiliated training centers. For example, China Telecom posts banner advertisements on their and other websites, prints advertisements on their bills to their customers and displays posters in their retail outlets. Fudan University displays posters, circulates brochures and includes an advertisement in their course calendar. The training centers display posters and circulate brochures.

For our E-Ya <R>Kids</R>, we have been focused on marketing our programs to the various school district authorities in China. By targeting our sales efforts on the district school authorities, we can access a larger number of schools through the school district. Once we have obtained the approval of a school district, we intend to market our products to each of the individual schools in that school district. <R>Our employees contact the school districts and schools directly in person and by telephone in an effort to sell our E-Ya Kids program.</R>

<R>On May 21, 2004, our subsidiary Shanghai Broadband Network expanded its distribution channels for delivering its Fudan New English program throughout China. We entered into an agreement with the Educational Channel of SINA Corporation. SINA will offer its users direct access to part of our online English training programs through the SINA education channel website (http://edu.sina.com.cn). SINA's brand name "Sina.com" is a recognized Internet brand name in China and its educational channel website and will provide us with another distribution and marketing channel throughout China. Users can purchase online credits using an online transactional payment system.</R>

The market for English language learning is highly competitive. The English as a second language market is a large, fragmented market that has attracted hundreds of different companies, with no real dominant player. We face competition from companies that sell traditional classroom products and services, including, classroom instruction, books, audiotapes, etc., and from companies that sell computer software. There is growing momentum for using computers in place of or in conjunction with traditional classroom products and services and we expect that trend to continue. With regards to blended learning, we will face competition from existing market players. We will also have to look out for new entrants from companies who produce software or online based educational content. <R>Our management has determined that there are several companies providing similar products and services in China.</R>

Our competitive position utilizes strength in partnership brand recognition and joint ownership in branded programs. We jointly own the intellectual property for the Quartet Chinese English Online Internet version used in our Fudan New English program. We have

39

entered into key agreements or developed relationships with key universities, testing offices and centers and online education content providers. We also have an exclusive agreement with the Open Learning Foundation for the international business studies content delivery in China. We also have an exclusive agreement with Computerized English Learning for integration and distribution of online formatted pronunciation programs in China.

<R>Our company's primary methods of competition include our different formats for delivering our programs to our users. We deliver our products completely online or in a blended classroom and online training format. These formats allow us to provide a multimedia experience to our users. For example, our E-Ya Kids program uses interactive games and puzzles to stimulate learning. The variety of our learning programs also provides us with an advantage. For example, we have customized programs for kids, students and adults, government employees and persons wanting to learn about international business.

With the exception of Global English, who provides an online English program, we are not aware of any other competitors who provide English learning in a number of formats which are customized to a particular group of users.

Since we have generated nominal revenues to date, we are not dependent on one or a few major customers. Since we anticipate selling our products and services through a variety of sales channels and partnerships, we do not anticipate that our revenues will be dependent on one or a few major customers.</R>

Our company employs nine consultants, <R>six of which are full-time and three of which are part-time.</R> Our consultants are responsible for our company's management, accounting and finance, operations, marketing. business /technical development and administration.

Our subsidiary, Shanghai Broadband Network, employs <R>42</R> full time <R>employees</R>. There are employees in accounting, employees in administration and human resources, in educational content program development and management, employees in sales and marketing and employees in software, Internet technology and system engineering and production <R>and customer service. </R>

We own co-branding trademark rights to Fudan New English, Fudan International Business and Interactive GE 300 with Shanghai Foreign Language University Test Centers.

The Q Group has invested to produce a top quality multi-tiered English language multimedia learning system. We have joint ownership of the intellectual property rights for the "bilingual Internet enabled" version called Quartet Chinese English Online.

We are not aware that our services or proprietary rights infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. However, from time to time, we may receive notices from third parties asserting that we have infringed their trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights. In addition, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Any such claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause service stoppages or lead us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements rather than disputing the merits of such claims. An adverse outcome in litigation or similar proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require expenditure of significant resources to develop non-infringing technology, require disputed rights to be licensed from others, or require us to cease the marketing or use of our website, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We spent $97,020 on research and development in the year ended December 31, 2003, compared with $22,120 in the year ended December 31, 2002. We expended the funds on developing and localizing the educational content in our current programs for use in China.

We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. <R>We do not require any governmental approval for our products and services except if the programs or services are to be provided to a government department, school or academic institution. For example, we require approval from the various school districts in China in order that schools can use our E-Ya Kids English program.</R> However, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet and e-commerce, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing and characteristics and quality of products and services. We cannot predict the impact, if any, that future regulation or regulatory changes may have on its business.

<R>Extra-Provincial Registration

As a result of maintaining an executive office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, we are required to register as an extra-provincial corporation in British Columbia, as we are deemed to be carrying on business in British Columbia under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. In order to carry on business in British Columbia, Canada, a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction other than British Columbia must extra-provincially register in British Columbia. Registering as an extra-provincial corporation in British Columbia does not effect our shareholders in any adverse manner and allows us to carry on business in British Columbia.</R>

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this registration statement. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this registration statement, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of this registration statement.

Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

<R>We are still a development stage company and consequently our focus has been on the identification of market needs, the development of products to meet these needs, and the branding of our company and our products. While we anticipate that growth in revenues will assist us in attracting additional financing to allow us to add the needed resources in order to further support the growth of our operations, there are no assurances that our estimated revenue growth can be achieved, or that we will be able to attract additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. Should we be unable to achieve the anticipated revenue growth or to attract additional financing on acceptable terms, our business and future success may be adversely affected.

We incurred a net loss of $1,275,165 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of $188,886 for the comparative period in 2003. The loss is a result of the factors discussed below.

41

We did not recognize any sales during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 or 2003. Our company is in the development stage, and as at March 31, 2004 we had not generated any revenues from the sale of our programs.

Total operating expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 were $1,275,162 compared to total operating expenses of $202,747 for the comparative period in 2003, an increase of $1,072,415. The principal components of the increase in our expenses included executive management fees, general and administrative expenses, professional fees, research and development and stock based compensation in respect of stock options granted to consultants, directors and officers during the first three months of our 2004 fiscal year.

Executive management fees were $91,251 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $83,499 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The increase of $7,752 was due to increases in compensation to our executive management and officers as agreed upon in new agreements effective January 2004. As our business develops, we have entered into new consulting agreements with our executive management and officers to adjust their compensation to reflect the increase in business activities and their additional responsibilities.

General and administrative expenses were $139,911 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $87,837 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The increase of $52,074 was due to the fact that we were more active in the first quarter of 2004 compared to 2003, especially in China with the launching and marketing of new programs as well as negotiating with new partners and opening of training centers. As a result, we have increased the number of employees employed by our company which has led to increased corporate infrastructure costs. General and administrative costs consisted primarily of our general corporate expenses, such as sales and marketing, salaries and benefits, rent and insurance.

Professional fees were $33,006 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $6,209 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The increase of $26,797 was due to the increased costs associated with the filing of this registration statement and other matters stemming from our registration.

Professional fees incurred during the period included legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection with the filing of this registration statement as well as general assistance with regulatory compliance matters and general corporate matters during the period.

Research and development $58,310 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $10,172 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The increase of $48,138 was due to an increased number of new programs under development. As well, we have completed the development and launched several programs during 2003 and 2004 which require additional and continuing support to operate and maintain. Research and development costs consist of salaries and costs directly associated with research and development projects. No research expenditures met the criteria for capitalization through the first quarter of 2004.

Stock based compensation was $930,864 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $nil for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The 2004 stock compensation charge was primarily due to the grant of 2,095,000 options in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to consultants and officers. Such compensation was calculated using the fair value based method using the Black

42

Scholes option pricing model which uses estimates and assumptions concerning, among other things, the expected lives of the options and the expected volatility of the underlying common shares.

We incurred other expenses (net) of $10,368 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $412 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The increase in other expenses is primarily the amortization of the debt discount of $14,646 associated with the convertible notes issued during the period.

The proceeds from the sale of the 1,145,000 units in the first quarter of 2004 were allocated between the various equity and debt instruments based on their relative fair values. The difference between the allocated fair value and the face value of the convertible debenture was recorded as a debt discount. No beneficial conversion feature was recorded as the fair value of the common stock on the commitment date was less than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instruments. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. Upon conversion of the underlying debt into common stock, a pro rata share of the unamortized debt discount will be recorded as interest expense.

We incurred a net loss of $2,053,220 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to a net loss of $813,218 for the comparative period in 2002. The loss is a result of the factors discussed below.

We did not recognize any sales during the years ended December 31, 2003 or 2002.

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $2,056,009 compared to total operating expenses of $904,360 for the comparative period in 2002, an increase of $1,151,649. The principal reasons for the increase in our expenses consist of increases in reported expenses for executive management fees, general and administrative expenses, professional fees, research and development expenses and stock based compensation.

Executive management fees were $658,971 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $289,996 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase of $368,975 in compensation for executive management was mainly due to the increase in the number of officers and fees paid to each officer as a result of increased business activities and their responsibilities in 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we also accrued $302,500 as executive management fees payable to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of our company as compensation for past service. We plan to settle this amount with the issuance of shares in 2004.

General and administrative expenses were $412,431 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $381,146 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase of $31,285 was due to the increase in the overall level of business activity and number of employees hired, which has also led to increased corporate infrastructure costs. General and administrative costs consisted primarily of our general corporate expenses, such as sales and marketing, salaries and benefits, rent, professional fees and insurance.

Professional fees were $112,218 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $36,285 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase of $75,933 was due to a general increase in overall corporate activities as well as the increased costs associated with the filing (including the audit of both 2003 and 2002 as our financial statements had not previously been audited) of this registration

43

statement and other regulatory requirements. Professional fees incurred during the period included legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection with the filing of this registration statement as well as general assistance with regulatory compliance matters and general corporate matters during the period.

Research and development was $97,020 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $22,120 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase of $74,900 was mainly due to the commencement of the development of new programs and increased activities in regular maintenance and support of existing programs. Research and development costs consist of salaries and costs directly associated with research and development projects.

Stock based compensation increased from $79,912 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $689,744 in the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was mainly due to the issuance of an aggregate of 6,300,000 shares to a consultant for services (valued using the quoted market price of $0.055 per share) and compensation expense recognized in connection with the 4,000,000 options granted during 2003 to non-employees. Such compensation was calculated using the fair value based method using the Black Scholes option pricing model which uses estimates and assumptions concerning, among other things, the expected lives of the options and the expected volatility of the underlying common shares.

We incurred other expenses (net) of $46,140 in the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to net other income of $29,371 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net other expense of $75,511 is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income (due to declining cash balances and interest rates) of $34,276 and a loss on settlement of management fees payable of $39,508 in 2003.

In November 2003, we entered into settlement agreements with two former directors to reduce the amount of management fees payable to them. The former directors agreed to settle the payable amount of $91,261 with a cash payment of 40% of the payable amount totaling $36,504 and the issuance of an aggregate of 1,178,300 shares of common stock. The cash payment of the settlement consists of an immediate cash payment of 50% of the reduced amount owed and the remaining 50% to be paid out over the next 18 months. The fair value of the 1,178,300 common shares issued for the settlement was $94,264 based on the trading price of our common stock on the date of the settlement agreement.</R>

As of December 31, 2003, we had cash on hand of <R>$897,190 and as of March 31, 2004, we had cash on hand of $2,748,549. As at March 31, 2004, </R> we had not generated any revenue from sales of our programs. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue into fiscal 2004. Management projects that we may require an additional <R>$2,405,000</R> to fund our ongoing operating expenses and working capital requirements for the year ended December 31, 2004, broken down as follows:

These estimates do not include any potential capital requirements that may be needed should we identify any products or business acquisitions that may add value to our current product and service offerings.

In the first quarter of 2004, we completed private placements for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,290,000, which together with our existing capital should satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, we expect revenues that will be generated during fiscal 2004 will provide additional funds for operations. We anticipate that these funds will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the year ended December 31, 2004. Should we will require any additional monies during fiscal 2004, we plan to raise any such additional capital primarily through the private placement of our equity securities. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds of such funds required for our continued operations. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our current program offerings and any new program offerings that we may introduce, the continuing successful development of our program offerings and related technologies, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Our plan of operation for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2004 is to become a prominent supplier of English based learning and educational content in China. Our projected cash requirements of <R>$2,405,000</R> for the year ended December 31, 2004 will be used as is described below.

We estimate that we will require $275,000 to promote the sale of our products during the year ended December 31, 2004. We will focus on the development of distribution channels in China, including the development of franchised and affiliated training centers for our Fudan New English and Fudan International Business Diploma programs and obtaining the approval of school districts for our E-Ya Kids program. Initial development will focus on the geographical areas where Fudan University has a strong brand name. We have established three Fudan New English training centers in Shanghai, and then development will focus on establishing training centers in B

45

eijing, Jingsu, Zhejang and Chongqing. For the online Fudan New English program, initial marketing will be conducted through our partnership with Shanghai Telecom, who will actively market our programs to its current Internet subscribers.

<R>In 2004, we began to develop the markets in Beijing, Jingsu, Zhejang and Chongqing. For the online Fudan New English program, initial marketing is conducted through our partnership with Shanghai Telecom and SINA.com who is actively marketing our programs to its current Internet subscribers. We estimate that we will establish six E-Ya centers in the Pudong and the Puxi districts in Shanghai for the primary and kindergarten students by mid-September 2004. For the remainder of 2004, we plan to introduce the programs to other schools in the Pudong and Puxi districts of Shanghai and expand to other provinces outside of Shanghai.</R>

Our selling and marketing expenses will include salaries, commissions and related expenses for our sales personnel in China, advertising in newspapers, printing of brochures, attending and conducting conferences and trade shows and Internet advertising. This estimate also includes amounts that we pay to others to conduct advertising on our behalf, including China Telecom, Fudan University and the training centers. China Telecom posts banner advertisements on their and other websites, prints advertisements on their bills to their customers and displays posters in their retail centers. Fudan University displays posters, circulates brochures and includes an advertisement in their course calendar. The training centers display posters and circulates brochures. <R>In the first quarter of 2004, we opened our own training center adjacent to our subsidiary's office in Shanghai to conduct sales training for channel partners, retail students, and to conduct program market surveys.</R>

We estimate that we will require $975,000 for various general and administrative expenses including general office expenses, travel expenses, telephone and communication expenses, office rent expenses, directors and officers insurance, legal expenses, accounting and auditing expenses, <R> investor relations </R> and expenses related to permits, licenses, trademarks, domain names and taxes.

We estimate that we will require $25,000 for improvements and upgrades to our various programs, including the conversion of the E-Ya Kids Program to an online program and for further development on the Fudan International Business program. We are also planning on producing a science based program for children. Accordingly, we have been attempting to negotiate an agreement with Emmersive Education for the delivery of science subjects and math content. The nature of science subjects makes them very suitable for bilingual teaching and localization efforts are limited to simple vocabulary translation. Emmersive Education will also provide a French language learning program that will be localized for the Chinese language learning market. The product is a good complement to our current product portfolio since it is targeted at students aged between 12 and 18 years as it is intended to fill the gap between the E-Ya Kids English and the Fudan New English program.

We estimate that we will require <R>$180,000 </R> to purchase <R> SDK licenses (Q Group and others) and computers </R>, computer servers and network equipment for our ongoing business. Included in this estimate are costs of software that we require for our internal operations, including a computer network to link our employees and offices, order processing, bill processing and other administrative software for our business.

We estimate that we will require $750,000 for salaries for the officers and employees of our company in order to implement our business plans. With the ramp up of our business, we will be required to increase our professional, technical and administrative personnel in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and China. We anticipate that most of this increase will be in Canada and the United

46

States. We will be seeking to hire a full time Chief Financial Officer for our company.

We estimate that we will require $200,000 for working capital purposes which will include investor relations, acquisitions of content for our programs, as well as capital requirements for the preparation of a study on methods to penetrate the into the education entertainment markets.

<R>Milestones

Milestones for the IE21 Interactive English and Fudan New English Programs

As discussed above under the heading, "Our Current Programs - Fudan New English and IE21 English," there are three franchise training centers now running the Fudan New English program in Shanghai. In May 2004, we opened our own training center facility adjacent to our offices in Shanghai which offers training programs for individual students, training for channel partners and business monitoring of program performance, market surveys and program development. In June 2004, we entered into a franchise agreement with Shanghai Jiaoda Withub Training Center, who will operate an IE21 branded training center.

In addition to marketing the Fudan New English and IE21 brands to post-secondary school students and other adults interested in learning English, we are marketing the program to multinational corporations for their internal training centers. We have been focusing on foreign companies in Shanghai, but have commenced marketing programs in Beijing since many enterprises are headquartered in <R> there</R>. As discussed above under the heading, "Our Current Programs - Fudan New English and IE21 English, we have recently signed on three corporate licensees of our IE21 English program and a fourth multinational corporation has authorized its employees to purchase the IE21 English program from us directly.

In the remainder of the year we are targeting the following six groups of customers:

-Schools and training centers: Key public schools in Shanghai, Beijing, Jingsu, Zhejang and Chongqing; private schools; training centers (especially those affiliated with the educational administration and/or personnel administration departments of local governments).

-National and local portals: SINA.COM, SOHU.COM, BAIDU.COM; ONLINE.SH.CN, JLONLINE.COM; training portals in Shanghai, Beijing, Jingsu, Zhejang and Chongqing.

-Educational software providers such as ZD Soft, Zheda Innovation Technology.

-Internet Service Providers such as Great Wall Broadband Network, ChinaTelecom and ChinaNetCom.

-ICPs: ChinaVNet, IPTV, etc.

-Individuals and corporate accounts.

We are also planning to target the retail student market for our online program. Channel partner sales and additional strategic marketing programs are targeted for launch in September 2004.

Currently, we are collaborating with Pudong Education Information Center to disseminate and set up primary schools in the district. Additional products such as the E Ya Prepaid educational card was designed and completed in the second quarter of 2004 for this market and similarly for other target districts.

47

We are targeting six E-Ya centers to be established in the Pudong district primary and kindergarten schools by mid September 2004 and the Puxi District area of Shanghai. In October 2004, we expect to achieve revenues from channel partner sales currently in development. In November 2004, we anticipate that additional schools will begin introducing the approved E-Ya Kids program in the district of Pudong, additional schools in Puxi, deployment in Chongqing and other areas outside Shanghai.

We plan to continue to target other districts in and outside Shanghai. Our target customers are the district primary schools, government district kindergarten schools, private primary and kindergarten schools. An additional revenue milestone will be successful targeting of program courseware sales and network access products and services to training centers in Shanghai in the third and fourth quarters of 2004.

A potential source of new revenue from the E-Ya Kids program will be from the recently completed 3 in 1 package product. This product will be sold in the bookstore and publishing company channels. In September 2004 we are planning to launch a model E-Ya Shoppe showcase in Scholar Bookstore in Xujiahui and Shanghai Book City. Additional marketing programs underway include advertising in Children's Daily and school based demo classes for the kids and parents hosted by the schools.

We are presently adding additional sales personnel for the E-Ya Kids products and services. The present team includes resources in marketing, sales, product development, academic training consultants, telesales, technical and customer support.

Our selling and marketing expenses will include salaries, commissions and related expenses for our sales personnel in China, advertising in newspapers, printing of brochures, attending and conducting conferences and trade shows and Internet advertising. This estimate also includes amounts that we pay to others to conduct advertising on our behalf, including China Telecom, Fudan University and the training centers. China Telecom posts banner advertisements on their and other websites, prints advertisements on their bills to their customers and displays posters in their retail centers. Fudan University displays posters, circulates brochures and includes an advertisement in their course calendar. The training centers display posters and circulates brochures and advertises in local newspapers targeting an existing and new customer base.

Marketing, International Business Strategy, Principals of HRM and International Business Decision Analysis. The program will be enhanced with interactive features currently being tested and developed for improvement. Other branding strategies are being analyzed for program content and curriculum migration for students. This program is targeted for launch in the fourth quarter of 2004.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the Financing Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Interpretation Note ("FIN") No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB 51." The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities or "VIEs") and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity for which either: (1) the equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest; or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN No. 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. As amended in December 2003, the effective dates of FIN No. 46 for public entities that are small business issuers, as defined ("SBIs"), are as follows: (a) For interests in special-purpose entities: periods ended after December 15, 2003; (b) For all VIEs created before January 31, 2003: periods ending after December 15, 2004; and (c) For all VIEs created after January 31, 2003, FIN 46 is applicable immediately. The December 2003 amendment of FIN No. 46 also includes transition provisions that govern how an SBI which previously adopted the pronouncement (as it was originally issued) must account for consolidated VIEs.

The implementation of this new standard is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be classified as equity or "mezzanine" equity, by now requiring those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) in the statement of financial position. Further, SFAS No. 150 requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives. SFAS No. 150 affects an entity's classification of the following freestanding instruments: a) Mandatory redeemable instruments b) Financial instruments to repurchase an entity's own equity instruments c) Financial instruments embodying obligations that the issuer must or could choose to settle by issuing a variable number of its shares or other equity instruments based solely on (i) a fixed monetary amount known at inception or (ii) something other than changes in its own equity instruments d) SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The guidance in SFAS No. 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.

The implementation of this new standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

<R>OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditure, or capital resources that are material to stockholders.</R>

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's

49

application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

To December 31, 2003, we have not yet generated revenue. We will follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition" and EITF 00-21 "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables" for accounting and recognizing revenue. In accordance with SAB No. 101, revenue from the sale of programs and supplemental learning materials will be recognized upon delivery of the product when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue will be recognized when the fee is collected. In an arrangement with multiple deliverables, we will assess if the delivered item(s) constitute separate units of accounting in accordance with the following criteria: The deliverable item(s) has value to the customer on a standalone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item, and whether the delivery arrangement is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor.

Revenue from enrolment in the educational programs will be deferred and recognized as the programs are delivered and services are provided. Annual licensing fees from registered schools will be recognized over the term of the license. The portion of the program revenue allocated to the sales of supplemental learning materials and the revenue from independent sales of these materials will be recognized as the products are delivered and the refundable period has expired.

We apply the recommendations of SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 requires that companies (1) recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable based on its undiscounted cash flows and (2) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the asset. We believe that there was no impairment of our property and equipment and intangible assets as at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

We review the carrying amount of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recognition of impairment of long-lived assets will be required in the event that the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which such assets relate. We believe that there was no impairment of our property and equipment and intangible assets as at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, our management reviews the carrying value of its goodwill on a quarterly basis for indicators of impairment in value. The fair value of the reporting unit is compared to the carrying value in order to determine if impairment exists. Adjustments to reflect impairment in value, if necessary, are recorded to the extent the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of its goodwill and in the period in which the determination of impairment was made. No goodwill impairment was recognized as at December 31, 2003.

Other than as listed below, we have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holder, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

<R>Our Class A common stock is presently not traded on any public market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market.</R> Our Class A common stock is quoted on Pink Sheets LLC under the symbol "ASAB." The following quotations obtained from Canada Stockwatch reflect the highs and low bids for our Class A common stock based on inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission an may not represent actual transactions.

The high and low bid prices of our Class A common stock for the periods indicated below are as follows:

Our common shares are issued in registered form. <R>Computershare Trust Company of Canada, of 4th Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3B9 (Telephone: 604.661.9400), Facsimile: 604.661.9401 is the registrar and transfer agent for our common shares.

On April 15, 2004, the shareholders' list of our common shares showed 119 registered shareholders and 33,880,968 shares outstanding.

We have not declared any dividends on our Class A common stock since the inception of our company on January 24, 1996. There is no restriction in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws that will limit our ability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock. However, we do not anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our shareholders in the near future.

Shares of our Class A common stock are subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". "Penny stock" is defined to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If we establish a trading market for our Class A common stock, our Class A common stock will most likely be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk

53

disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.

Effective July 7, 2003, we adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan for directors and consultants of our company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of common shares to be issued under the 2003 Stock Option Plan initially is 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. Under the 2003 Stock Option Plan, stock options are granted at the discretion of our board of directors. Options granted must be exercised no later than ten years after the date of the grant or such lesser periods as any applicable regulations may require, unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, options granted vest at the rate of not less than 33% every six months until they are fully vested on the date which is no later than 18 months after the date of grant. As at December 31, 2003, 3,750,000 options were granted under the 2003 Stock Option Plan.

Effective July 7, 2003, we adopted the 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan for officers and key employees of our company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of common shares to be issued under the 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan initially is 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. Under the 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan, stock options are granted at the discretion of our board of directors provided that the aggregate fair value of the common stock granted to any officers or employees during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. Options granted must be exercised no later than ten years after the date of the grant or such lesser periods as any applicable regulations may require, unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, options granted vest at the rate of not less than 30% the 12 months from the date of grant, 30% after 24 months from the date of grant and 40% after the 36 months from the date of grant. The exercise price of the options under the 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan shall be determined by our board of directors but shall not be less than the fair market value of our company's common stock on the grant date.
