QUOTEMEDI A, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2003
(Unaudited)

1.            BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and instructions for Form 10 – QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for a full year.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 contained in our Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated March 10, 2003.

2.            SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as our annual financial statements, except for 2(b).

a) Stock based compensation

We have elected under FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation”, to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. This method is described in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. As we grant all stock options with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common shares on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is required to be recognized under APB 25. FAS No. 123 uses a fair value method of calculating the cost of stock option grants. Had compensation cost for our employee stock option plan been determined by this method, our net loss and loss per share would have been as follows:

b) Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“FAS No. 150”), which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. We have adopted FAS No. 150, which had no effect on our financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued FAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS No. 149”), which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under FAS No. 133. FAS No.149 is to be applied prospectively for certain contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. We have adopted FAS No. 149, which had no effect on our financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), which requires the consolidation of a variable interest entity by the primary beneficiary. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosure by both the primary beneficiary and enterprises that hold a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity. FIN 46 is applicable to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. Entities created prior to February 1, 2003 must be consolidated effective July 1, 2003. However, because we do not have any variable interest entities, there is no impact on our financial statements.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 expands on previously issued accounting guidance and requires additional disclosure by a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed by issuing a guarantee. The provision for initial recognition and measurement of the liability is applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The standard was adopted on January 1, 2003, and is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements

Also in July 2003, 50,000 shares of restricted common stock were issued resulting from the exercise of stock options. The stock options had an exercise price of $0.17 for total proceeds of $8,500. No warrants were attached to the common stock issued.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue consists of licensing fees generated from our software applications along with advertising fees generated from sponsorship advertisements. Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 was $58,297 compared to $12,854 for the three month period ended June 30, 2002. Revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 was $76,457 compared to $18,745 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. The increase is due to the increased market acceptance of our subscription based streaming products launched in 2002, and the introduction of new financial tools in 2003.

Operating Expenses

Website Content

Website content expenses consist primarily of fees paid to our strategic partners for providing financial content such as news, stock quotes, charts, company background data, and general information. Website content expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 were $64,003 compared with $51,295 for the three month period ending June 30, 2002. Website content expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 were $130,659 compared with $96,777 for the six month period ending June 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to increased stock exchange fees associated with an increase in the number of customers receiving real-time financial information.

Professional fees

Professional fees consist primarily of legal and accounting fees. Professional fees for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 were $12,429 compared with $2,257 for the three month period ending June 30, 2002. Professional fees for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 were $22,992 compared with $7,325 for the six month period ending June 30, 2002. The increase is primarily due to the legal costs associated with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in February 2003.

Table of Contents

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the design, programming, and testing of our software applications. Research and development expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 were $47,977 compared with $51,847 for the three month period ended June 30, 2002. Research and development expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 were $179,745 compared to $96,070 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. The increase is due to $86,250 in development costs incurred resulting in the issuance of 1,125,000 shares of our common stock for development services.

Business Development

Business development consists primarily of marketing, investor relations, travel, and printing expenses Business development expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 were $1,172 compared to $2,026 for the three month period ended June 30, 2002. Business development expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 were $10,026 compared to $4,929 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002.. The increase is due to investor relation expenses associated with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in February 2003.

Office

Office expenses consist primarily of rent, computer equipment leases, computer maintenance and storage and salary expenses. Office and administration expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 were $69,888 compared to $261,677 for the three month period ended June 30, 2002. Office and administration expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 were $216,033 compared to $322,828 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. The decrease is due to $63,488 in non-recurring office expenses incurred in 2002 which resulted in the issuance of 793,600 shares of our common stock for services provided to the Company.

Financing Expense

No financing expenses were incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $52,500 in financing fees incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we incurred $64,000 in financing fees resulting from the issuing of 800,000 shares of common stock associated with private equity financings, compared to $340,250 in financing fees during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Interest income

Net cash of $411,304 was used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily resulting from our net loss for the period and a decrease in accounts payable offset by the issuance of capital stock for services. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $3,411 resulting from the purchase of fixed assets. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $280,000 resulting from the issuance of common stock for cash.

Subsequent to June 30, 2003, we issued 152,500 shares of restricted common stock for total proceeds of $29,000. We believe that cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our current operations through August 2003. After that date, we will require additional financings, which may come from future equity or debt offerings that could result in dilution to our stockholders. Adequate working capital may not be available and the lack of such working capital could adversely affect our ability to continue business operations.

ITEM 3.     Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be disclosed by us in our quarterly reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. During the quarterly period covered by this report, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Dave Shworan
Suite 202 – 166 Corfield St.
Parksville, BC V6P 2H5

Dear Dave:

This letter, and the Revised Schedule “A” attached to it, will serve as an addendum to the Employment Contract, dated November 13, 2002, (“Original Agreement”) between yourself and QuoteMedia, Inc. (formerly QuoteMedia.com Inc.), a copy of which is also attached.

As a result of both parties to the agreement now having an improved view of the challenges you are required to face and overcome, it is agreed that the following changes and additions are warranted to be made to the agreement effective May 8, 2003, unless otherwise specifically stated.

The following sections supersede or supplement those of the similar index number in the Original Agreement:

3.   Remuneration:

Salary to be paid for your position will be determined and will be accrued from June 1, 2003 onward. The salary level will be agreed by the Board of Directors and you at the earliest date possible.

4.   Signing Bonus:

An additional 5 million warrants may be awarded to you, with an expiry date of 5 years. 2 million of these will vest on the date that we mutually agree upon your salary but only if the agreement is reached not later than June 30, 2003. 3 million of these will be awarded and vest upon achievement of the performance thresholds specified in Revised Schedule “A”. These warrants will be “Restricted” to being exercised only in the event that there is adequate “free” authorized stock (not issued nor subject to purchase under outstanding option or warrant agreements) available to cover the stock purchase rights of these warrants, and still allow room for the raising of additional capital by the company, if required, in an emergency.



6.   Performance Award:

The company will issue you warrants as per Revised Schedule “A”, attached to this letter, exercisable for 5 years from the date of issue, at the strike prices indicated on the schedule. These warrants will vest upon the achievement of the performance thresholds set forth in Revised Schedule “A”. These warrants will be issued as per the standard company policy of “net exercisable” pricing. This warrant award will be subject to the section on “Retractable Warrants” included in the Original Agreement.

11.   Special Vesting conditions:

If the Company successfully sells or undergoes a takeover for $0.75 or more per share (fully diluted), or if its stock market per share trading price reaches and stays at $1.00 or greater for at least 3 months, you will be vested with all outstanding warrants not yet vested with you according to the performance chart in Revised Schedule “A”.

Additional Provisions:

It has also been agreed that, as soon as practicable and possible, a bonus pool of 2million warrants will be established, which will be available at the lowest possible strike prices, and under your sole authority, to award to deserving employees and key staff.

The Revised Schedule “A” attached to this letter replaces Schedule “A” attached to the Original Agreement in its entirety.

Please signify your agreement with and acceptance of these revisions by signing below.

 

Sincerely,
QuoteMedia, Inc.

3


7.            T ERMS AND C ONDITIONS OF O PTIONS

Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by Option Agreements in such forms as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may from time to time approve. Options shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:


(a) Option Price . Each Option shall state the Option Price, which in the case of an Incentive Stock Option only shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option; provided, however, that in the case of only Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the Option Price shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of such Fair Market Value. The Option Price for Options that are not Incentive Stock Options shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option. The Option price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(i) hereof. The date on which the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, adopts a resolution expressly granting an Option shall be considered the day on which such Option is deemed granted unless other wise specified.

(b) Restrictions . Any Common Stock issued under the Plan may contain restrictions, on their sale including, but not limited to, limitations on transferability that may constitute substantial risks of forfeiture, as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine.

(c) Value of Shares . Options may be granted to any eligible person for shares of Common Stock of any value, provided that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all the plans of the Company, its Parent and its Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

(d) Medium and Time of Payment . The Option Price shall be paid in full, at the time of exercise, in cash or, with the approval of the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, in shares of Common Stock (“net exercise” Options) having a Fair Market Value in the aggregate equal to such Option Price or in a combination of cash and such shares.

(e) Term and Exercise of Options .

(1) Incentive Stock Options . Incentive Stock Options shall be exercisable over the exercise period specified by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, in the Option Agreement, but in no event shall such period exceed ten (10) years from the date of the grant of each such Incentive Stock Option; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the exercise period shall not exceed five (5) years from the date of grant of such Option. The exercise period shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 7(f) and 7(g) hereof and may be accelerated, as specified by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, in the Option Agreement, upon certain events such as an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock. An Incentive Stock Option may be exercised, as to any or all full shares of Common Stock as to which the Incentive Stock Option has become exercisable, by giving written notice

4


of such exercise to the Board or the Committee, as the case may be; provided that an Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised at any one time as to less than 100 shares (or such number of shares as to which the Incentive Stock Option is then exercisable if such number of shares is less than 100).


(2) Non-Incentive Stock Options . Options, which have not been designated by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, as Incentive Stock Options, shall be exercisable up to a period of eleven (11) years.

(f) Termination of Employment . Except as provided in Section 7(g) hereof and except with respect to Options granted to an AB Member or consultant which have not been designated as Incentive Stock Options, (i) an Option may not be exercised unless the Optionee is then a director of or in the employ of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (or a corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of such corporation issuing or assuming the Option in a transaction to which Section 425(a) of the Code applies), and unless the Optionee has remained continuously a director or so employed, as the case may be, since the date of grant of the Option, and (ii) in the event all association of an Optionee with the Company (as an employee or director) shall terminate (other than by reason of death or Disability), all Options or unexercised portions thereof granted to such Optionee which are then otherwise exercisable shall terminate ninety (90) days following the day on which the Optionee ceases to be an employee and/or director, but in no event later than the date of expiration of the Options unless waived by the Board in writing. A bona fide leave of absence shall not be considered a termination or break in continuity of employment for any purpose of the Plan so long as the period of such leave does not exceed ninety (90) days or such longer period during which the Optionee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute or by contract. Where the period of such leave exceeds ninety (90) days and the Optionee’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed, the Optionee’s employment will be deemed to have terminated on the ninety-first day of such leave. Nothing in the Plan or in any Option granted pursuant hereto shall confer upon an employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its divisions or Parent or Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such divisions or Parent or Subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time.

(g) Death or Disability of Optionee . If an Optionee shall die while a director of or employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or if the Optionee’s employment shall terminate by reason of Disability, all Options theretofore granted to such Optionee may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Optionee or by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by reason of the death of the Optionee, at any time within nine (9) months after the date of death or Disability of the Optionee, but in no event later than the date of expiration of the Option, provided that during the lifetime of the Optionee any Option granted to him may be exercised only by the Optionee.

(h) Nontransferability of Options . Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and Options may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

5



(i) Effect of Certain Changes.

(1) If there is any change in the number of shares of Common Stock through the declaration of stock dividends, recapitalization resulting in stock splits, or combinations or exchanges of such shares, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for Options, the number of such shares covered by outstanding Options and the price per share of such Options shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated.

(2) In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Board; provided, however, that each Optionee shall have the right, immediately prior to such termination, to exercise the Options as to all or any part of the shares of Common Stock covered thereby, including shares as to which such Options would not otherwise be exercisable.

(3) In the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall promptly make an appropriate adjustment to the number and class of shares of Common Stock available for Options, and to the amount and kind of shares or other securities or property receivable upon exercise of any outstanding Options after the effective date of such transaction, and the price thereof (subject to the limitations of Section 425 of the Code) in order to preserve each Optionee’s proportionate interest therein, and in order that the aggregate Option Price remains unchanged. A consolidation of the Company with, or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company to, or the merger of the Company with, any other person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) shall cause each outstanding Option to terminate, provided that each Optionee shall have the right during a ten (10) day period ending on the fifth day prior to such consolidation or merger to exercise his or her Options, in whole or in part, including shares as to which such Options would not otherwise be exercisable.

(4) In the event of a change in the Common Stock as presently constituted, which is limited to a change of all of its authorized shares with or without par value into the same number of shares with a different par value or without par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Common Stock within the meaning of the Plan.

(5) To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive, provided that each Option granted pursuant to this Plan and designated an Incentive Stock Option shall not be adjusted in a manner that causes the Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422A of the Code.

6



(6) Except as hereinbefore expressly provided in this Section 7(i), the Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation, and any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Option Price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

(7) For purposes of the Plan, a “change in control” of the Company occurs if: (a) any “person” (defined as such term as used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities then entitled to vote for the election of directors; or (b) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or (c) the Board of Directors shall approve the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any merger, consolidation, issuance of securities or purchase of assets, the result of which would be the occurrence of any event described in clause (a) or (b) above.

In the event of a change in control of the Company, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a transaction described in the preceding paragraph, each Option outstanding hereunder shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the holder, and such holder shall receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such Option, an amount of cash equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such share immediately prior to the occurrence of such transaction over the exercise price per share of such Option. The provisions contained in the preceding sentence shall be inapplicable to an Option granted within six (6) months before the occurrence of the transaction described above if the holder of such Option is a director or officer of the Company or a beneficial owner of the Company as defined in Section 16(a) of the Act, unless such holder dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the expiration of such six month period.

Alternatively, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine, in its discretion, that all then outstanding Options shall immediately become exercisable upon a change of control of the Company.


(j) Rights as a Shareholder . An Optionee or a transferee of an Option shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares. No adjustments shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or

7


other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 7(i) hereof.


(k) Other Provisions . The Option Agreements authorized under the Plan shall contain such other provisions, including, without limitation, (i) the imposition of restrictions upon the exercise of an Option, and (ii) the inclusion of any condition not inconsistent with such Option qualifying as an Incentive Stock Option, as the Board of the Committee, as the case may be, shall deem advisable, including provisions with respect to compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.

8. A GREEMENT BY O PTIONEE R EGARDING W ITHHOLDING T AXES

(a) No later than the date of exercise of any Option granted hereunder, the Optionee will pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of such Option; and

(b) The Company shall, to the extent permitted or required by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of such Option.

9. T ERM OF P LAN
