When proxies in the accompanying form are properly executed and received, the shares represented thereby will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions noted thereon; if no direction is indicated, such shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees listed thereon, FOR the ratification of the independent auditor, and in their discretion with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
The executive offices of the Company are located at, and the mailing address of the Company is, Suite 216, 1628 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., V6J 1G1.
Management does not anticipate that any matters will be presented at the Annual Meeting other than matters set forth in the Notice.
This proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") and accompanying proxy are being mailed on or about July 19, 2004. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (the "2003 Annual Report"), which serves as the Annual Report to Stockholders, covering the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, is attached.
Any stockholder of the Company giving a proxy has the right to revoke their proxy at any time prior to the voting thereof by voting in person at the Annual Meeting, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by giving written notice of revocation to the Company addressed to Harmel S. Rayat, Director, Suite 216, 1628 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., V6J 1G1; no such written notice shall be effective, however, until such notice of revocation has been received by the Company at or prior to the Annual Meeting.
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit the return of proxies, either by mail, telephone, telefax, telegraph or through personal contact. Such officers and employees will not be additionally compensated but will be reimbursed for out- of-pocket expenses. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries will, in connection with shares of the Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), registered in their names, be requested to forward solicitation material to the beneficial owners of such shares of Common Stock.
The cost of preparing, printing, assembling, and mailing the 2003 Annual Report, the Notice, this Proxy Statement, and the enclosed form of proxy, as well as the cost of forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock and other costs of solicitation, are to be borne by the Company.
QUORUM AND VOTING
The record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting was the close of business on June 18, 2004 (the "Record Date"). On the Record Date, there were 16,104,187 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, and neither the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") nor its Bylaws allow for cumulative voting rights. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum to transact business. If a quorum is not present or represented at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time without notice or other announcement until a quorum is present or represented. Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast is required for the election of each of the nominees for director. A majority of the votes represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required for the approval of all other matters to be voted upon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted towards the presence of a quorum, but (i) will not be counted as votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the plurality vote required for the election of directors, and (ii) will be counted as votes represented at the Annual Meeting and, accordingly, will have the effect of a vote "against" all other matters to be acted upon.
Proxies in the accompanying form which are properly executed and returned to the Company will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained in such proxies and, at the discretion of the proxy holders, on such other matters as may properly come before the meeting. Where no such instructions are given, the shares will be voted for the election of each of the nominees for director, the ratification of Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. as the independent auditor, and the authorization for a forward split of the common stock.
A stockholder that intends to present a proposal at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to such meeting must submit such proposal by August 17, 2004. The proposal must be mailed to the Company's offices at Suite 216, 1628 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., V6J 1G1.

AS THE COMPANYS INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. has served as independent public accountants for the Company since January 12, 2004, prior to which the firm of Clancy and Co., P.L.L.C, served as the Company's independent public accountants from inception to January 12, 2004.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MOORE STEPHENS ELLIS FOSTER LTD. AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITOR.
PROPOSAL NO. 3:
FORWARD STOCK SPLIT
The Board of Directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to effect a 6:1 forward split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The number of shares of common and preferred stock authorized and their respective par values will not change as a result of the proposed forward stock split.
Principal Purposes and Effects of the Stock Split
The Board of Directors anticipates that the increase in the number of outstanding shares of common stock resulting from the stock split would place the market price of the Company's Common Stock in a range more attractive to the financial community and the investing public and may result in a broader market for the Company's common stock than that which currently exists. The decreased price level resulting from the stock split may encourage and facilitate trading in the Company's common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for the Company's stockholders.
If approved by stockholders, the stock split would increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock by a factor of six. Following the stock split and based on the number of shares outstanding as of the Record Date, the number of shares of the Company's outstanding common stock would increase to 96,625,122 shares. The stock split would not change the equity interests of the stockholders in the Company and would not affect the relative rights of any stockholder or result in a dilution or diminution of any stockholder's proportionate interest in the Company.
Since the stock split would result in each stockholder's interest being represented by a greater number of shares, it is possible that higher brokerage commission might be payable after the stock split upon a sale or transfer of a stockholder's same relative interest in the Company's common stock because that interest would be represented by a greater number of shares.
As a result of the stock split, the number of shares issuable under the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan would be proportionately adjusted to reflect the stock split. The exercise price of all outstanding options would also be proportionately adjusted to reflect the stock split.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF A 6:1 FORWARD SPLIT IN THE COMPANYS COMMON STOCK.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth, as of June 18, 2004, the beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock by each director and executive officer of the Company and each person known by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company's Common Stock outstanding as of such date and the executive officers and directors of the Company as a group.

Related Transactions
Officer Loans: Officer loans at December 31, 2002 represent a loan in the amount of $40,000 dated September 10, 2001, to the former President of the Company, plus $3,267 of accrued interest, both principle and interest are due at maturity, which is September 10, 2003. The Company settled the loan balance with the severance pay to this individual of $50,000 in a non-cash transaction, with the balance of $6,733 paid on December 30, 2003.
Marketable Equity Securities: Marketable equity securities at December 31, 2003, represents the fair market value of 600,625 shares of common stock of e.Deal.net, Inc., a public Company that trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. At December 31, 2003, the fair marked value was $192,168 and an unrealized gain of $144,118 was credited to accumulated other comprehensive income representing the difference between the cost and the stated market value as determined by the most recently traded price at the balance sheet date, which was $0.32 per share.
On August 7, 2002, the Company agreed to accept 600,625 shares of restricted common stock from e.Deal.net in lieu of the cash payment of $48,050 due from e.Deal.net for web development and web hosting services rendered by the Company. The number of e.Deal.net shares issued to satisfy its debt to the Company was calculated based on the most recent quoted market closing price of e.Deal.nets common stock ($0.08 per share) at the settlement date. A director and majority stockholder of the Company is also the Director, Secretary and Treasurer of e.Deal.net.
Management and Consulting Fees: During 2003, the Company charged $150,700 (2002 - $187,333) to operations for management and consulting fees incurred for services rendered by directors, of which $144,000 was to a director and a major shareholder. On December 13, 2002, the Company settled $282,666 owing this individual by issuing 14,133,300 shares of the Company at $0.02 per share, being the fair market value of the common stock on the date of issuance. At December 31, 2003, $23,812 was included in accounts payable.
Revenues: Substantially all (98%) of the Companys revenues for 2002 were derived from entities (e.Deal.net, Inc. and Innotech Corporation) whose director and majority shareholder is also the Companys majority shareholder and director. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company wrote off $459,798 in accounts receivable representing amounts due from Innotech, which no longer has the ability to repay.
The Company did not generate any revenue in 2003.
Property: The Company's corporate offices, located at Suite 216, 1628 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, are owned by a privately held corporation controlled by director and majority shareholder of the Company. At present, the Company pays no rent. The fair value of the rent has not been included in the financial statements because the amount is immaterial.
Co-Location Services: Between March 2003 and September, 2003, the Company paid a fee $1,000 per month for co-location services to an entity controlled by the Companys former President and CEO.
Employment Contracts
The Company does not have any employment contracts with any of its officers or employees.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
The information in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Companys capital needs, business plans and expectations. Factors that could cause differences include those discussed below in "Risk Factors", as well as those discussed elsewhere herein and other risks detailed in the Company's periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law.
Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined below, and, from time to time, in other reports the Company files with the SEC. These factors may cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
The Company
Entheos Technologies, Inc. (the Company), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Email Solutions, Inc., operates as an Application Service Provider (ASP) providing reliable, real time, high volume outsourced email services. The Company is currently seeking to augment its position in technology based services through the acquisition of and or joint venture with, other technology based ventures.
The Company is a Nevada corporation with an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 16,104,187 shares are outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.
Employees
At December 31, 2003, the Company employed 0 full-time and 3 part-time persons. To the best of the Companys knowledge, none of the Companys officers or directors is bound by restrictive covenants from prior employers. None of the Companys employees are represented by labor unions or other collective bargaining groups. We consider relations with our employees to be good. We plan to retain and utilize the services of outside consultants as the need arises.
Risk Factors of the Business
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business. However, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock. We provide the following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business. These are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed here could adversely affect us.
Lack of Operating History
Our business is subject to the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business. Specifically, in formulating our business plan, we have relied on the judgment of our officers, directors and consultants but have not conducted any formal independent market studies concerning the demand for our services.
We have had limited revenues since inception, however we had revenues of $0 and $919,418 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We have not been profitable, experiencing an accumulated deficit of $3,505,184 through December 31, 2003. Even if we become profitable in the future, we cannot accurately predict the level of, or our ability to sustain profitability. Because we have not yet been profitable and cannot predict any level of future profitability, you bear the risk of a complete loss of your investment in the event our business plan is unsuccessful.
The Company's ability to generate revenues and to achieve profitability and positive cash flow has depended on the successful commercialization of our ASP service, which has had limited success so far. Even if we eventually generate enough revenues from the sale of our services, we expect to incur significant operating losses over the next several years due to intense competition, a dearth of high volume email clients and low priced email software packages.
Intense Competition
The market for our services is intensely competitive, constantly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We expect the intensity of competition to increase in the future. Increased competition may result in price reductions, changes in our pricing model, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could materially damage our business. Many of our competitors have more resources and broader and deeper customer access than we do. In addition, many of these competitors have or can readily obtain extensive knowledge of our industry. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new technologies or changes in Internet user preferences and devote greater resources than we can to the development, promotion and sale of their services. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and future competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources.
Dependence On Key Personnel
We depend on the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel and the loss of one or more of these individuals could cause us to incur increased operating expenses and divert other senior management time in searching for their replacements. We do not have employment agreements with any employee, nor do we maintain any key person life insurance policies for any of our key employees. The loss of any of our key technical, sales or senior management personnel could harm our business. In addition, we must attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. We face significant competition for individuals with the skills required to develop, market and support our services. We may not be able to recruit and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees, and as a result our business could suffer.
Inability to Obtain Funding
We may not be able to obtain additional funding when needed, which could limit future expansion and marketing opportunities and result in lower than anticipated revenues. We may require additional financing to further develop our business and to pursue other technology-based business opportunities. If the market price of the common stock declines, some potential financiers may either refuse to offer us any financing or will offer financing at unacceptable rates or unfavorable terms. If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, this unavailability could prevent us from expanding our business, which could materially impact our future potential revenues.
Continued Control by Management.
You may lack an effective vote on corporate matters and management may be able to act contrary to your objectives. As of March 26, 2004, our officers and board members own 14,782,948 of the 16,104,187 outstanding common stock, excluding stock options. If management votes together, it could influence the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, mergers and asset sales. As a result, new stockholders may lack an effective vote with respect to the election of directors and other corporate matters. Therefore, it is possible that management may take actions with respect to its ownership interest, which may not be consistent with your objectives or desires.
Adverse Effect From Future Sale of Stock
Future sales of large amounts of our common stock by existing stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or following the exercise of outstanding options, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Substantially all of the outstanding shares of our common stock are freely tradable, without restriction or registration under the Securities Act, other than the sales volume reporting and transaction restrictions of Rule 144 applicable to shares held beneficially by persons who may be deemed to be affiliates. Our directors and executive officers and their family members are not under lockup letters or other forms of restriction on the sale of their common stock. The issuance of any or all of these additional shares upon exercise of options or warrants will dilute the voting power of our current stockholders on corporate matters and, as a result, may cause the market price of our common stock to decrease. Further, sales of a large number of shares of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the common stock and could materially impair our future ability to generate funds through sales of common stock or other equity securities.
We are considered a penny stock.
The Company's stock differs from many stocks, in that it is a "penny stock." The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." These rules include, but are not limited to, Rules 3a5l-l, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6 and 15g-7 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Because our securities probably constitute "penny stock" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of our stock to sell their securities in any market that may develop for them. There may be a limited market for penny stocks, due to the regulatory burdens on broker-dealers. The market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34- 29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:
*
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
*
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
*
"Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
*
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
*
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
Furthermore, the "penny stock" designation may adversely affect the development of any public market for the Company's shares of common stock or, if such a market develops, its continuation. Broker-dealers are required to personally determine whether an investment in "penny stock" is suitable for customers.
Penny stocks are securities (i) with a price of less than five dollars per share; (ii) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ-listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above); or (iv) of an issuer with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average annual revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 15g-2 of the Commission require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in the Company's common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock."
Rule 15g-9 of the Commission requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for the Company's stockholders to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.
Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results
Significant variations in our quarterly operating results may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our operating results have varied on a quarterly basis during our limited operating history, and we expect to experience significant fluctuations in future quarterly operating results. These fluctuations have been and may in the future be caused by numerous factors, many of which are outside of our control. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations will not necessarily be meaningful and that you should not rely upon them as an indication of future performance. Also, it is likely that our operating results could be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. This could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Intellectual Property
The Company relies on a combination of trademark, copyright law, trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements with employees, vendors and others to protect its rights to intellectual property. Theses measures, however, may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information. Failure to adequately protect its intellectual property could harm the Company's brand, devalue its proprietary content and affect the Company's ability to compete effectively.
Independent Directors.
We cannot guarantee our Board of Directors will have a majority of independent directors in the future. In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers, who are also principal stockholders and directors, could establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and approval thereof. This could present the potential for a conflict of interest between the Company and its stockholders generally and the controlling officers, stockholders or directors.
Environmental Matters
The Company believes it conducts its business in compliance with all environmental laws presently applicable to its facilities. To date, there have been no expenses incurred by the Company related to environmental issues.
Government Regulation
The Company is not subject to any direct governmental regulation other than the securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies, and laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's corporate offices, located at Suite 216, 1628 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V6J 1G1, are owned by a privately held corporation controlled by a Director and majority shareholder of the Company. At present, the Company pays no rent. The fair value of the rent has not been included in the financial statements because the amount is immaterial.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not party to any current legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of the security holders in the fourth quarter of 2003. It is our intention to schedule a shareholders meeting to elect directors and transact any additional business in the second or third quarter of 2004.

The cautionary statements made in this document should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document.

Overview
Entheos Technologies, Inc. (the Company), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Email Solutions, Inc., serves as an Application Service Provider (ASP) providing reliable, real time, high volume outsourced email services. The Company is currently seeking to augment its position in technology based services through the acquisition of and or joint venture with, other technology based ventures.
The Company is a Nevada corporation with an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 16,104,187 shares are outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.
Results of Operations
Revenues: The Company generated revenues of $0 for the year ended December 31, 2003, versus $919,418 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Two of Entheos customers each accounted for more than 10% of its revenues, both of which are represented by the same director as Entheos. Approximately 98% of Entheos revenues were derived (i) Innotech Corporation (Innotech) for emailing services and (ii) e.deal.net, Inc. (edeal) for web development and hosting services. Until the first quarter of 2002, all of Entheos revenues were derived from Innotech for emailing services. The significant decrease in revenues was due to the loss of the Companys principal client, EquityAlert.com, Inc., a subsidiary of Innotech Corporation, which ceased operation during October 2002. The Company and Innotech Corporation have a common Director and majority shareholder.
Cost of Revenues: The Company incurred $0 in cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003, versus $226,354 in cost of revenues for the year ended December 30, 2002. The decrease in costs of revenues is a result of significantly lower operating and personnel costs that contributed to the initial ongoing costs of developing and maintaining the Companys operations.
General and Administrative Expenses: During 2003, the Company incurred $705,032 in general and administrative expenses, a decrease of 27% over 2002 expenses of $970,989. The decrease is primarily attributable to a bad debt expense of $459,798 that was written off in 2002, versus $0 in 2003, due to non-payment of services rendered by the Companys largest client, Equityalert.com, a subsidiary of Innotech Corporation. The Company and Innotech Corporation have a common Director and majority shareholder.
Interest Income: Interest income was $5,823 and $16,042 for the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Interest earned in the future will be dependent on Company funding cycles and prevailing interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes: As of December 31, 2003, the Company's accumulated deficit was $3,505,184, and as a result, there has been no provision for income taxes to date.
Preferred Stock Deemed Dividends: Preferred stock deemed dividends were $0 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Net Loss: For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a net loss of $699,823, an increase of 167%, compared to a net loss of $262,401 for the same period in 2002. This increase in net loss is a result a significant decrease in revenues due to the loss of the Companys principal client, EquityAlert.com, Inc., a subsidiary of Innotech Corporation, which ceased operation during 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2003, the Company had a cash balance of $292,191, compared to a cash balance of $846,360 at December 31, 2002.
During 2003, the Company used $538,206 of net cash from operating activities, as compared to net cash flows provided by operating activities of $131,131 in 2002, primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net cash flows used in investing activities was $6,919 for 2003, compared to $107,623 for 2002, resulting from lower equipment purchases during the periods presented.
Plan of Operation
The Companys principal source of liquidity is cash in bank, which we anticipate will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. The Company's future funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the time and investment required to source out and invest in promising technology-based ventures, to recruit and train qualified management personnel and the Company's ability to compete against other, better capitalized corporations in similar businesses.
Due to the "start up" nature of the Company's businesses, the Company expects to incur losses as it expands. The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all. See "Risk Factors" for additional details.
Related Party Transactions
Officer Loans: Officer loans at December 31, 2002 represent a loan in the amount of $40,000 dated September 10, 2001, to the former President of the Company, plus $3,267 of accrued interest, both principle and interest are due at maturity, which is September 10, 2003. The Company settled the loan balance with the severance pay to this individual of $50,000 in a non-cash transaction, with the balance of $6,733 paid on December 30, 2003.
Marketable Equity Securities: Marketable equity securities at December 31, 2003, represents the fair market value of 600,625 shares of common stock of eDeal.net, Inc., a public Company that trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. At December 31, 2003, the fair marked value was $192,168 and an unrealized gain of $144,118 was credited to accumulated other comprehensive income representing the difference between the cost and the stated market value as determined by the most recently traded price at the balance sheet date, which was $0.32 per share.
On August 7, 2002, the Company agreed to accept 600,625 shares of restricted common stock from eDeal.net in lieu of the cash payment of $48,050 due from eDeal.net for web development and web hosting services rendered by the Company. The number of eDeal.net shares issued to satisfy its debt to the Company was calculated based on the most recent quoted market closing price of eDeal.nets common stock ($0.08 per share) at the settlement date. A director and majority stockholder of the Company is also the Director, Secretary and Treasurer of eDeal.net.
Management and Consulting Fees: During 2003, the Company charged $150,700 (2002 - $187,333) to operations for management and consulting fees incurred for services rendered by directors, of which $144,000 was to a director and a major shareholder. On December 13, 2002, the Company settled $282,666 owing this individual by issuing 14,133,300 shares of the Company at $0.02 per share, being the fair market value of the common stock on the date of issuance. At December 31, 2003, $23,812 was included in accounts payable.
Revenues: Substantially all (98%) of the Companys revenues for 2002 were derived from entities (eDeal.net, Inc. and Innotech Corporation) whose director and majority shareholder is also the Companys majority shareholder and director. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company wrote off $459,798 in accounts receivable representing amounts due from Innotech, which no longer has the ability to repay.
The Company did not generate any revenue in 2003.
Property: The Company's corporate offices, located at Suite 216, 1628 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, are owned by a privately held corporation controlled by director and majority shareholder of the Company. At present, the Company pays no rent. The fair value of the rent has not been included in the financial statements because the amount is immaterial.
Co-Location Services: Between March 2003 and September, 2003, the Company paid a fee $1,000 per month for co-location services to an entity controlled by the Companys former President and CEO.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company faces all the risks common to companies in their early stages of development, including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties in managing growth. The Companys recurring losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company expects to incur losses from its businesses and will require additional funding during 2005. The satisfaction of our cash hereafter will depend in large part on the Companys ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to pay for planned expenditures and to fund operations.

ENTHEOS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
& SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1.
Organization and Nature of Operations
Entheos Technologies, Inc. (the Company) is a Nevada corporation with an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Email Solutions, Inc., served as an Application Service Provider (ASP) providing reliable, real time, high volume outsourced email services. In 2002, the Company operated on a limited basis. There was no revenue generated in 2003.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial operating losses in recent years resulting in a substantial accumulated deficit. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Companys ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations.
To meet these objectives, the Company plans to seek additional equity and expects to raise funds through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. Management believes that actions presently taken to revise the Companys operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Accounting Method
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
(b)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Entheos Technologies, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Email Solutions, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and Entheos Technologies, Corp (an Ontario, Canada corporation). There are no assets and liabilities in the wholly owned subsidiaries.
(c)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2003.
(e)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains U.S. dollar cash balances in Canadian banks that are not insured. Approximately 98% of the Companys revenues for 2002 were derived from related entities, all of which are controlled by the majority stockholder and director of this Company.
(f)
Equipment and Depreciation
Equipment is stated at cost and are depreciated under the straight-line method over their estimated useful life. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.
(g)
Marketable Equity Securities
During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (SFAS) 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Marketable equity securities consist of Rule 144 restricted common stock and are stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price at the balance sheet date. All marketable equity securities in these financial statements are defined as available-for-sale securities under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, and are recorded at fair value, with the change in fair value (unrealized gains or losses) during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. Investments available for current operations are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as current assets; investments held for long-term purposes are classified as nonc-urrent assets.
(h)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
(i)
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
The Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. The option of this pronouncement does not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
(j)
Intangible Assets
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortized but rather tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets with a definite life are required to be amortized over its useful life or its estimated useful life.
As at December 31, 2003, the Company did not have any goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite or definite life.
(k)
Revenues and Accounts Receivables
The Company follows guidance on revenue recognition as described in United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Topic 13, which includes interpretative guidance issued in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, issued by the staff of the SEC in December 1999 and SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition, issued by the staff of the SEC in December 2003, and the guidance set forth in the consensus reach by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on Issue 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, which affect revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 does not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Revenues are derived from providing emailing services and are recognized when the services are performed. The Company reviews a customers credit history before extending credit. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the Company determines whether or not to write off the balance. The Company uses the direct write-off method for receivables and during the year ended December 31, 2002, wrote off $459,798 in accounts receivable representing amounts due from a related entity, which no longer had the ability to repay. See Note 4.
(l)
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not have any advertising costs for 2003 and 2002.
(m)
Cost Recognition
Cost of sales includes all direct material and labor used to provide the emailing services. General and administrative costs are charged to operating expenses as incurred.
(n)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
(o)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is measured as the excess of the quoted market price of the Companys stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. 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 has elected to remain on its current method of accounting as described above, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.
(p)
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic earnings/loss per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the period. All earnings or loss per share amounts in the financial statements are basic earnings or loss per share, as defined by SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Diluted earnings or loss per share does not differ materially from basic earnings per share for all periods presented. Convertible securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings or loss per share in the future, such as options and warrants, are not included in the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. All per share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value.
(q)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of Stockholders' Equity. The Companys comprehensive income (loss) consists of net earnings (loss) and unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities.
(r)
Business Segment Information
The Company operates in one industry segment, that being providing high volume out-sourced email services.
(s)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company maintains both U.S. Dollar and Canadian Dollar bank accounts at a financial institution in Canada. Foreign currency transactions are translated into their functional currency, which is U.S Dollar, in the following manner:
At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations are included in the results of operations as incurred.
(t)
Start-up Expenses
The Company accounts for start-up costs in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities. SOP 98-5 provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up and organization costs and requires such costs to be expensed as incurred. For income tax purposes, the Company has elected to treat its organizational costs as deferred expenses and amortize them over a period of sixty months, beginning in the first month the Company is actively in business.
(u)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, officer loans, accounts payable, and capital lease obligations, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
(v)

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146 (SFAS 146), Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issued No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. SFAS 146 generally requires a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity to be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. The pronouncement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 does not have an impact on the Companys financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others An Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This interpretation clarifies the requirements for a guarantors accounting for and disclosures of certain guarantees issued and outstanding. FIN 45 also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of a guarantee. FIN 45 is effective for guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 does not have an impact on the Companys financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires that all primary beneficiaries of variable interest entities consolidate that entity. FIN 46 is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest it acquired before February 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB published a revision to FIN 46 (FIN 46R) to clarify some of the provisions of the interpretation and to defer the effective date of implementation for certain entities. Under the guidance of FIN 46R, entities that do not have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special purpose entities are required to apply the provisions of the interpretation in financial statements for periods ending after March 14, 2004. The Company did not create a variable interest entity after January 31, 2003 and does not have a variable interest entity as of December 31, 2003. The Company expects that the full adoption of FIN 46R in 2004 will not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 addresses certain accounting issues related to hedging activity and derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. In general, the amendments require contracts with comparable characteristics to be accounted for similarly. In addition, SFAS No. 149 provides guidance as to when a financing component of a derivative must be given special reporting treatment in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 does not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how to classify and measure financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires financial instruments that fall within its scope to be classified as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and, for pre-existing financial instruments, as of July 1, 2003. The Company does not have any financial instruments that fall under the guidance of SFAS No. 150 and, therefore, the adoption does not have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

(b)
Marketable Equity Securities
Marketable equity securities at December 31, 2003, represents the fair market value of 600,625 shares of common stock of eDeal.net, Inc., a public Company that trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. At December 31, 2003, the fair marked value was $192,168 and an unrealized gain of $144,118 was credited to accumulated other comprehensive income representing the difference between the cost and the stated market value as determined by the most recently traded price at the balance sheet date, which was $0.32 per share.

The number of eDeal.net shares issued to satisfy its debt to the Company was calculated based on the most recent quoted market closing price of eDeal.nets common stock ($0.08 per share) at the settlement date. A director and majority stockholder of the Company is also the Director, Secretary and Treasurer of eDeal.net.
(c)
Management and Consulting Fees
During 2003, the Company charged $150,700 (2002 - $187,333) to operations for management and consulting fees incurred for services rendered by directors, of which $144,000 was to a director and a major shareholder. On December 13, 2002, the Company settled $282,666 owing this individual by issuing 14,133,300 shares of the Company at $0.02 per share, being the fair market value of the common stock on the date of issuance.

(d)
Revenues
Substantially all (98%) of the Companys revenues for 2002 were derived from entities (eDeal.net, Inc. and Innotech Corporation) whose director and majority shareholder is also the Companys majority shareholder and director. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company wrote off $459,798 in accounts receivable representing amounts due from Innotech, which no longer has the ability to repay.

At present, the Company pays no rent. The fair value of the rent has not been included in the financial statements because the amount is immaterial.
Between March 2003 and September, 2003, the Company paid a fee $1,000 per month for co-location services to an entity controlled by the Companys former President and CEO.

Income Taxes
There is no current or deferred tax expense for any of the periods indicated, due to the Companys loss position. The benefits of timing differences have not been previously recorded. The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized, as appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Companys ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes and has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The income tax effect, utilizing a 35% income tax rate, of temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is a result of the following at December 31:
2003 | 2002 | |
Deferred tax assets: | ||
Net operating loss carryforwards | $ 1,141,000 | $ 896,630 |
Start-up expenses | - | 18,091 |
Excess of the tax cost of equipment | ||
over the net book value | - | (21,477) |
Net deferred tax asset | 1,141,000 | 893,244 |
Valuation allowance | (1,141,000) | (893,244) |
Net deferred tax assets |
$ - | $ - |
The net change in the valuation allowance for 2003 was an increase of $244,370 (2002 $60,000) which was principally the result of net operating loss carryforwards.
The Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,260,000 for tax purposes to offset future taxable income which expire through the year 2023. Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, annual utilization of the Companys net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% is deemed to occur within any three-year period.
A reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate (35%) and the effective rate of income tax expense for each of the years during the period ended December 31 follows:
2003 | 2002 | |
Statutory federal income tax rate | (35.0)% | (35.0)% |
Valuation allowance | 35.0% | 35.0% |
Effective income tax rate | 0.0% | 0.0% |

Stock Options
On December 20, 2002, the Companys Board of Directors agreed grant 1,500,000 Non-Statutory Stock Options out of the 20,000,000 common shares reserved for issuance under the Companys 2001 Stock Option Plan at $0.06 per share being the market price at the time of the grant. The terms and conditions, such as expiration dates and vesting periods are defined and agreed upon in individual stock option agreements finalized on February 11, 2003. All of the options are exercisable in three (3) equal installments of thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%), the first installment to be exercisable immediately, with an additional thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the shares becoming exercisable on each of the two (2) successive anniversary dates. The options expire on February 11, 2013.
Also on February 11, 2003, the Company granted 5,000 stock options to its current President at $0.51 per share, being the market price at the time of the grant, expiring 10 years from the grant date. The options become exercisable in two equal installments of fifty percent (50%), with the first installment becoming exercisable immediately and the balance becoming exercisable in 180 days.
Summary of employee stock option information for the period ended December 31, 2003 are as follows:
Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |
Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001 | - | $- |
Granted | 1,505,000 | $0.06 |
Options outstanding at December 31, 2003 | 1,505,000 | $0.06 |
Options Outstanding and Exercisable | ||||
Range of Exercise Prices | Number Outstanding | Number exercisable | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (yr.) | Weighted Average Exercise Price |

$0.50 - $1.00 | 5,000 | 5,000 | 9.10 | $0.51 |
1,505,000 | 505,000 | 9.10 | $0.06 | |
Each option entitles the holder to acquire one common stock of the Company.
Had compensation expense for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined under SFAS No. 123, based on the fair market value at the grant dates, the Company's pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share would have been reflected as follows:
2003 | 2002 | |
Net income (loss): | ||
As reported: | $(699,823) | $(262,401) |
Stock-based employee compensation | ||
expense as determined under the | ||
fair value based method | $(87,322) | $- |
Pro-forma | $(787,145) | $(262,401) |
Net income (loss) per share basic and diluted: | ||
As reported | $(0.04) | $(0.10) |
Pro-forma | $(0.05) | $(0.10) |
The weighted average fair value of the options granted was estimated at $0.06 by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 218%, risk-free interest rates of 3.5%, and expected lives of five years.

Revenues: Substantially all (98%) of the Companys revenues for 2002 were derived from entities (eDeal.net, Inc. and Innotech Corporation) whose director and majority shareholder is also the Companys majority shareholder and director. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company wrote off $459,798 in accounts receivable representing amounts due from Innotech, which no longer has the ability to repay.
The Company did not generate any revenue in 2003.
Property: The Company's corporate offices, located at Suite 216, 1628 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, are owned by a privately held corporation controlled by director and majority shareholder of the Company. At present, the Company pays no rent. The fair value of the rent has not been included in the financial statements because the amount is immaterial.
Co-Location Services: Between March 2003 and September, 2003, the Company paid a fee $1,000 per month for co-location services to an entity controlled by the Companys former President and CEO.

ITEM 14: PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
The firm of Clancy and Co., P.L.L.C, served as the Company's independent public accountants from inception to September 30, 2003, until their dismissal in January 2004. The firm of Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. currently serves as the Company's independent accountants. The Board of Directors of the Company, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of different public accountants at any time during the year, if the Board believes that a change would be in the best interests of the stockholders. The Board of Directors has considered the audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees paid to the Company's accountants, as disclosed below, and had determined that the payment of such fees is compatible with maintaining the independence of the accountants.
Audit Fees: The aggregate fees, including expenses, billed by the Company's principal accountant in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year and for the review of our financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and our quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were $8,817 and $13,060.
Tax fees: The aggregate fees billed to the Company for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning by the Companys principal accountant for fiscal 2003 and 2002 were $0 and $1,000.00 respectively.
All Other Fees: The aggregate fees, including expenses, billed for all other services rendered to the Company by its principal accountant during year 2003 and 2002 were $1,600.00, in connection with the review of our Form S-8 registration and amended related filings in 2003 and $0 respectively.
The Company does not currently have an audit committee.
