PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Beeper Plus, Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation, was incorporated
on March 25, 1986, and has its corporate headquarters at 3900 Paradise Road,
Suite 201, Las Vegas, NV, 89109. The Company collects, organizes and
disseminates timely sports information through wireless services to individual
and corporate customers throughout the United States, Canada and the Caribbean,
as well as news information through a network of resellers.
The Company's objective is to extend its position as the premier provider of
timely comprehensive sports information over wireless media and the internet by
developing a device-agnostic platform, integrating technologically advanced
functionality and features to its service, and connecting with customers from a
variety of mediums.
The Company's Common Stock is currently listed on the NASD Bulletin Board
under the symbol BEPP.
Services and Customers
Sports Information
We collect from multiple sources information and facts attendant to past and
future sporting events, which include standings, partial and final scores, game
schedules, starting rosters and changes, injuries, weather conditions,
statistics, and insights on athletes in a number of professional and college
sports and leagues. The information and facts relate to sporting events held in
the United States as well as major international events and the Olympics. We
collect and review data and information which is fed continuously from three
principal information service providers, namely The Sports Network (TSN), The
Sports Wire and Don Best. After validating the information and data received,
our editorial staff selects, organizes, and repackages the information for the
various services that we offer.
First the information is earmarked for one or several of 15 channels our
subscribers can access, then structured in a format to convey a clear and
efficient message on a four-line LCD
3
screen. The service tracks progress and highlights of games and events as they
unfold, and is updated as often as every three minutes.
The services provided by TSN and the Sports Wire are subject to fixed
contracts with automatic renewal for annual terms unless canceled by either
party. Services rendered by Don Best are provided on a subscription basis, and
have not been memorialized in a contract. The arrangements are not exclusive
and the wire services provide similar sports information to other customers.
Our customers subscribe to receive sports information on a timely basis via
wireless communication devices under three-month, six-month and twelve-month
subscription arrangements.
Individual customers Individual customers receive the information on a hand-
held battery operated alphanumeric pager and may
subscribe under two programs, namely the Sports Page and
the Score Page. Under both programs, sports information
is organized under 15 channels available directly from a
pager: the first four under each program are identical,
and the remaining 11 offer different quantity and types
of information.
The Sports Page consists of our most expansive listing
of sports information, including news spots and betting
lines from various sources. The Sports Page has received
national recognition in newspapers and magazines
throughout the country.
The Score Page is a lower-priced version of the Sports
Page, which provides access to essential sports
information.
Corporate customers Corporate customers receive selected sports information
via satellite and modem connection that is then
displayed on giant LED screens that adorn their
facilities. We are in the process of closing contracts
with four casinos located in the United States and
Canada to organize and feed selected sports information.
The Company has over 1,700 regular subscribers of the sports information,
with 90% of our subscribers selecting the Sports Page program. Approximately 50%
of our subscribers commit to six-month or twelve-month subscription arrangements
concurrent with the professional football season. Subscription fees are $360
per year for the Sports Page, and $120 per year for the Score Page, and
subscribers pay by check or credit cards. They are notified electronically at
the end of their subscription term of the end of their subscription, and, at
such moment are invited to renew their subscriptions.
Our services can only be accessed through high level Motorola pagers which
offer users rich functionality and full coverage. The Motorola pagers are
reprogrammable via wireless commands allowing us the power to turn on or off any
service at any time directly without depending on telephone providers. The
Company has entered into license agreements with Motorola in regard to the
FLEXSuite of Enabling Protocol (used with FLEX, ReFLEX and InFLEXion
transmissions) affording it access to the source code with a view to developing
new functionality, graphic displays and two-way interactive communication.
These are new features we are currently in the process of developing, however
there are no assurances that such
4
features will be successfully developed and marketed in a timely fashion to
support our marketing initiatives. See "New Products" below.
Devices are sold subject to the manufacturers' warranties. We do not extend
additional warranties or afford our customers rights to return the devices to
us.
Front Page
On March 23, 1992, the Company signed a joint venture agreement with
National Disatch Center ("NDC") of San Diego, California. We agreed to sell and
promote a news paging service marketed as "The Front Page". The Front Page
service provides headline and top story updates, weather forecasts, daily
business reports, daily sporting event results and television listings and
weekly entertainment headlines and listings. The information sources utilized
by The Front Page service include various wire services such as United Press
International (UPI) and TSN. Information updates are provided in excess of 25
times a day. Under this joint venture, NDC has been reselling the Front Page
information to various paging providers. Revenue generated from this joint
venture have been $41,644 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, and
represents approximately 5% of our business. Under the joint venture agreement
we are bound to share with NDC any revenue generated from the sale of news
information through any channel.
New Products
The Company is in the process of identifying and developing new features and
functionality that it can add to its current offerings as well as develop new
products, including providing the line and wagering tips by subscription service
to a hand held beeper, interactive pagers, and by a telephone 900-line and via
internet web sites.
We are completing the development of a new Internet site which should be
operational by the third quarter of this fiscal year which will provide enhanced
services and content, as well as serve as a marketing vehicle.
We are currently tailoring our services to operate under a WAP (Wireless
Application Protocol) platform. To this end we have also qualified under the
3Com Palm Solution Provider Program, and have access to the source code for Palm
OS software. We are currently in the planning stage for the development of these
new services. Further engineering and investments are required and prototypes
have not yet been developed. There are no assurances that such new products and
services will be successfully developed within the forecasted financial and time
budgetary limits and that such new products and services will be successful in
the marketplace.
Transmission of information
From our headquarters in Las Vegas, Sports Page and Score Page are
disseminated to our individual customers through PageNet Inc., a major wireless
and paging carrier. The information is reduced to digital signals and beamed via
satellite to transmitters owned by PageNet Inc. positioned in cities around the
country. These local transmitters then relay 900
5
MHz signals within a 30 to 150 mile radius of their location. We have
contracted with PageNet Inc. for a three-year term, subject to yearly
extensions.
The agreement further provides for limitations of time utilization. During
our peak period, namely the football season, we will pay a surplus for the
quantity of information that we disseminate.
The Company is not required to maintain paging licenses.
Markets and Channels
We market our services through a number of advertising and promotion
initiatives, and through our web site. We also have a distributor in Hawaii
which markets our services in this region. This Distributor Agreement is in the
seventh year of a fifteen year term, which may be extended for up to two
additional five year terms. We are also developing a network of wireless
resellers with retail operations.
The Company will continue to rely on its current distributor and its ability
to successfully market the Sports Page and Score Page services through corporate
initiatives and programs. The Company has been and will continue to market its
products directly to its subscribers. The distributor is required to pay the
Company a minimum monthly fee, thus ensuring minimum monthly revenue for the
Company.
The Company intends to continue expansion into other information markets at
such time as the demand arises.
Other Sources of Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of pagers, and from the reselling of
traditional paging functionality namely personal paging services for a modest
monthly charge. Approximately 35% of the Sports Page subscribers use the
enhanced pager service. In addition, we offer corporate customers the right to
reserve and tailor the information that is provided over specific channels under
the Sports Page and the Score Page services.
Competition
The dissemination of sports and news information is a competitive industry.
There area number of entities that are in direct or indirect competition with
the Company in disseminating sports information. There are a number of
enterprises that provide sports information through a number of traditional
channels like newspapers and television, and now through new media such as the
Internet and wireless hand-held devices and PDAs, two-way pagers and mobile
phones. Several disseminate sports information through a hand-held pager in a
similar fashion as the Company, while others feed sports information through
cable television sports channels, commercial television sports news programs,
sports information periodicals, the sports section of newspapers and radio,
direct dial "900" score lines and online computer services. No one player
dominates any of these channels. New technologies and providers have made the
dissemination of information at any time and anywhere easy and convenient for
any user to access sports information on a timely basis.
6

these companies, including product, distribution and customer service. The
Company believes the advantages in its products include comprehensiveness and
convenience.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 compared to fiscal
year ended June 30, 1999
Revenues
Revenues decreased to $755,511 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, from
$828,331 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, representing a decline in
revenue of $72,820 in fiscal 2000. The Company's Statement of Operations
reflects a net loss of $237,650 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000,
compared to a net loss of $290,173 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.
The drop in revenues from 1999 to 2000 was primarily due to a decrease in
revenues generated by the Company's distributors. Our principal distributor on
the East Coast went out of business in the first quarter of the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999, which resulted in a shortfall of approximately $35,000 in
forecasted revenue. We have not been successful in identifying the customers
which had contracted for our services with this distributor, or establish a new
distributor relationship to cover the region.
The Company has taken a number of steps to regulate the monthly fluctuations
in revenues. The emphasis is now on annual contracts directly with customers,
rather than on month-to-month arrangements through distributors. The Company has
already seen benefits from the "one-year contract / free pager" program it
introduced in 1999. As a result long term pager sales have decreased due to the
attempt to obtain more annual subscribers under the program. Also in 1999 the
Company began a 10-year buy-out of its largest distributor (Northern
California). This buy-out resulted in lower distribution revenues, but larger
per-customer fees as customers' contracts are renewed directly with the Company.
9
The Front Page revenues have dropped as competition from large and well
known firms increases, and the ready availability of the information from
different media such as the Internet. For instance, Motorola and CNN both offer
a similar service to the Company's Front Page product, at lower prices. Since
1994, the number of local paging companies that have subscribed to the Front
Page service has dropped from 96 to 16.
The Company is in the process of identifying and developing new products as
well as new features and functionality that it can add to its current offerings.
We are completing the development of a new Internet site which should be
operational by the third quarter of this year and which will provide enhanced
services and content, as well as serve as a marketing vehicle. We are currently
tailoring our services to operate under the WAP platform. We are currently in
the planning stage for the development of these new services. Further
engineering and investments are required and prototypes have not yet been
developed. There are no assurances that such new products and services will be
successfully developed within the forecasted financial and time budgetary
limits, and that such new products and services will be successful in the
marketplace.
Operating Cost and Expenses
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of acquiring data from
information service providers, and wire services, wireless and satellite
connectivity. Cost of revenue has increased from $211,775 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999 , compared to $321,041 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2000. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 25.6% and 42.5% for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, and 2000 respectively. The increase was
primarily due to the higher cost charged by information service providers and
the higher wireless carrier charges for the upgraded service we are now
offering. During the six month transition period during which we phased in the
upgraded carrier service, the Company was paying for access to both services.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consists primarily of personnel and
related costs and administrative expenses including rent, utilities and postage,
as well as marketing. General and administrative expenses have decreased from
$806,077 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 to $559,032 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2000. Salaries and wages decreased during the fiscal period as a
result of austere salary and expense control programs. Advertising costs have
increased in an effort to explore new markets for the Company's services.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a working capital deficit of $259,154 at June 30, 2000, compared to a
working capital deficit of $150,005 at June 30, 1999. For the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2000, cash used in operating activities was $4,546, as compared to
$252,760 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. For the fiscal year ended June
30, 2000, investing activities used $3,080 as compared to $107,677 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000,
financing activities provided $10,000 primarily from proceeds of notes payable.
Net cash increased by $2,374 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 as compared
to a decrease of $193,876 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had a note receivable in the amount of
$100,000 (plus $5,997 of accrued interest) due from Maven Properties, Inc. (MPI)
which is a related party to
10
Maven Enterprises, Inc., (MEI). MEI was a majority shareholder in the Company
owning 45.87% of the common stock outstanding at June 30, 1999. At the time of
the transaction the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, who was subsequently relieved of his position with the Company, was
also the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of MEI and MPI.
During the year ended June 30, 2000, the President of the Company personally
purchased all of the shares of common stock held by MEI at June 30, 1999. The
note was issued, by the Company, to settle obligations of MEI. The note bears
interest at 8% and was due on November 4, 1998. The Company has reason to
believe MEI will not make payment on the note and, accordingly, during the year
ended June 30, 2000, recorded an impairment charge against the full value of the
note receivable plus accrued interest totaling $105,997.
At June 30, 2000, the Company secured a line of credit with Community Bank
of Nevada in the amount of $160,000, with a maturity date of August 14, 2001,
secured by the certificate of deposit in the amount of $160,000. Borrowings on
the line bear interest at 7.25% (payable monthly). At June 30, 2000 and 1999,
outstanding borrowings on this line were $159,931. The line of credit agreement
contains covenants which restrict the Company from incurring additional debt or
utilizing loan proceeds for purposes other than working capital. At June 30,
2000, the Company was in violation of the covenants with respect to use of
proceeds. Due to the violation of the credit line convenant, the amount owed to
the bank is payable upon demand and has been recorded by the Company as a
current liability.
During the year ended June 30, 2000, the President of the Company converted
$10,000 in principal outstanding at June 30, 1999, and an additional $10,000 in
principal loaned to the Company during the year into 500,000 shares of common
stock at the current market price on the date of conversion. Accrued interest,
at June 30, 2000, on the converted notes was paid in cash to the officer
subsequent to year end and not included as part of the conversion.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has reported
net losses of $237,650 and $290,173 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,241,196 at June 30,
2000. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately
dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing and to control costs and
generate sufficient revenues to obtain profitable operations. No assurance can
be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. Management does
not believe that the cash, equivalents, and cash anticipated to be generated
from future operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and
capital expenditures through the next fiscal year. However we may choose to
raise additional cash through the sale of equity or debt prior to such time. We
have no plans to pay dividends with respect to Common Stock in the foreseeable
future.
Subsequent events
In July 2000, the Company received a $50,000 advance from a lender. The
Company expects the advances to be classified as a convertible debenture,
however, the Company is still negotiating the terms of repayment, conversion
price, and the interest rate with the lender.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
Revenues
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, revenues were $828,331 as
compared to $866,967 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, representing a
decline in revenue of $38,636 for the fiscal year ended 1999. The Company's
statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 reflects a net
loss of $290,173, compared to a net loss of $66,990 for the fiscal year ended
1998.
The drop in revenues from 1998 to 1999 was primarily due to a decrease in
revenues provided by the Company's distributors. In 1998 the Company began the
10-year buy-out of the largest remaining distributor (Northern California). As
a result, the Company expects to see diminishing distribution revenues, but
larger per-customer fees as their contracts are renewed directly with Beeper
Plus, Inc. Also, the Company was forced to reduce the monthly fees paid by the
New England distributor in order to keep that company from becoming insolvent.
Pager sales have decreased due to the attempt to lure more annual customers
with a "one year contract, free pager" promotion. The Company expects to see
the benefit of this program in the long term. Front Page revenues have dropped
as competition from large and well known firms increases. Motorola and CNN both
offer a similar service to the Company's Front Page product, at a lower price.
Operating Cost and Expenses
Cost of sales has decreased as the Company has made every effort to acquire
pagers, wire service and satellite fees at lower costs. Advertising costs have
increased in an effort to explore new marketing venues for the Company. This
policy was aggressively pursued in 1998 under the supervision of new management.
Salaries and wages increased in 1998 most notably due to the addition of
temporary staff members. Rent has increased due to an expansion in the
Company's offices.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE, SIX AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER

Revenues
Operating revenues for the three, six and nine months ended September 30 and
December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000 were $150,621, $338,873 and $567,012,
respectively, compared with $217,410, $459,773, and $670,275 for the three, six
and nine months ended September 30 and December 31, 1998, and March 31, 1999,
respectively.
The Company's Statement of Operations reflects net losses of $196,841,
$206,878 and $208,747 for the three, six and nine months ended September 30 and
December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, respectively, compared with net losses of
$75,128, $96,270, and $116,750 for the three, six and nine months ended
September 30 and December 31, 1998, and March 31, 1999, respectively. The drop
in revenues from the corresponding periods for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1999 was primarily due to a decrease in revenues generated by the Company's
distributors. Front Page revenues have dropped as competition from large and
well known firms increases, and the ready availability of the information from
different media such as the Internet.
Operating Cost and Expenses
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of data acquired from
information service providers, wire services, wireless and satellite
connectivity. Cost of revenue has increased to $56,785, $107,532 and $190,442
for the three, six and nine months ended September 30 and December 31, 1999 and
March 31, 2000, respectively, compared with $61,983, $108,375, and $176,247 for
the three, six and nine months ended September 30 and December 31, 1998, and
March 31, 1999, respectively. The increase from the corresponding periods for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 was primarily due to the higher cost charged
by information service providers and the higher wireless carrier charges for the
upgraded service we are now offering.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and
related costs and administrative expenses including rent, utilities and postage,
as well as marketing. General and administrative expenses have decreased for the
three, six and nine months ended September 30 and December 31, 1999 and March
31, 2000 to $184,774, $330,649 and
13
$473,882 respectively compared with $244,686, $467,676, and $639, 812 for the
three, six and nine months ended September 30 and December 31, 1998, and March
31, 1999, respectively. Salaries and wages decreased during the fiscal period
as a result of austere salary and expense control programs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had working capital deficits of $240,344, 250,656, and 251,795 for the
three, six and nine months ended September 30 and December 31, 1999 and March
31, 2000, respectively, compared with working capital of $44,879, $22,640, and
$863 for the three, six and nine months ended September 30 and December 31,
1998, and March 31, 1999, respectively.
Cash provided from operations was $2,782, $5,924 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and March 31, 2000 whereas cash used from
operations was $2,403, for the six months ended December 31, 1999, compared with
cash used by operations of $89,778, $103,494, and $113,751 for the three, six
and nine months ended September 30 and December 31, 1998, and March 31, 1999.
Impact of Recently Issued Standards
In Fiscal 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (FASB133), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value.
Subsequently, FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133", which amends the effective date of FASB133 to all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not believe the
adoption of FASB133 will have amaterial impact on its financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released
Staff Accunting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB101) "Revenue Recognition In Financial
Statements". SAB101 establishes guidelines in applying generally accepted
accounting principles to the recognition of revenue in financial statements
based on the following four criteria; persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller's price
to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
SAB 101, as amended by SAB 101A, is effective no later than the first fiscal
quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999, except that
registrants with fiscal years that begin between December 16, 1999 and March 15,
2000, may report any resulting change in accounting principle no later than
their second fiscal quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15,
1999. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SAB101 will have a
material effect on its financial position or result of operations.
ITEM 7A. RISK FACTORS
There are many factors that affect the Company's business and the results of
its operations, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. The
following is a
14
description of some of the important factors that may cause the actual results
of the Company's operations in future periods to differ materially from those
currently expected or desired.
Our operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
Our future quarterly operating results may vary, and we could experience
reduced levels of earnings or losses in one or more quarters. Fluctuations in
our quarterly operating results could result from a variety of factors,
including:
- Changes in the demand for our services
- Changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors
- Market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our services
- Changes in operating expenses
- Changes in our strategy
- Introduction of alternative technologies and applications by our
competitors
- Effect of potential acquisitions
- Industry and general economic factors
The Company experiences some seasonal trends in the sale of its services.
For example, sales are often stronger during the football season in the
Company's second and third fiscal quarter. Historically, the net result of
seasonal trends has not been material relative to the company's overall results
of operations, but many of the factors that create and affect seasonal trends
are beyond the Company's control.
We have limited or no control over many of these factors. Due to all of
these factors and other risks discussed in this report, your period-to-period
comparisons of our results of operations may not reflect our future
performance.
Our services are evolving, and we cannot be sure they will be successful.
We are continuing to expand our market penetration through marketing
initiatives and the breadth of services namely through our contemplated Internet
initiative. In particular, we will continue to market our products directly to
our subscribers and we are developing a network of wireless resellers that will
serve as distributors. As a result, we cannot be sure that we will achieve the
necessary market penetration and distinguish our services and Internet offering
from the technologies and applications presented by our competitors.
The implementation of our Internet initiative has and is expected to
continue to require significant investment of both financial and management
resources, and the expenses related to our Internet initiative have had and we
expect will continue to have an adverse impact on our operating results and
earnings for the near term. We expect that our operational and development costs
related to our Internet initiative will increase significantly as we invest in
infrastructure and product development, and increase the sales and marketing
efforts. We do not expect to derive significant revenue from these services in
the near future. The success of the Internet initiative will require, among
other things, broad market acceptance by our existing and future customers. If
the Internet initiative does not generate sufficient revenues to achieve and
maintain profitability, our investment could adversely affect our operating
results and earnings in future quarters. If our operating results and earnings
fall below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, the trading
price of our Common Stock is likely to decline.
15
The success of our business depends on our customers' continuing acceptance of
our services.
Currently, our revenues are derived from the use of information services. As
a result, the success of our business depends upon:
- Our ability to attract new customers and their acceptance of our current
and future service offerings
- Our current customers' adoption and acceptance of additional services that
we currently offer and will offer in the future
If we are unable to increase customer acceptance of our current service
offerings and achieve market acceptance of our future service offerings, our
business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially
adversely affected.
The market for sports information services is intensely competitive.
We compete with a number of companies providing information services as well
as companies providing sports and news information as collateral content to
their primary offerings. We believe the principal factors on which we compete
include:
- Breadth and quality of services
- Price
- Customer base
- Customer service and support
- Focus, presence and knowledge
- Convenience
- Interactivity
Our industry is characterized by continuing improvements in technology,
which result in the frequent introduction of new products, and channels. While
the Company believes that its strategy and practices afford it an inherent
competitive advantage over some of its competitors, new players, applications
and technology present some of the greatest challenges.
We expect competition to increase as more companies enter the market and
existing competitors continue to change and expand their service offerings. In
addition, consumer portals are also significant competitors to our services.
Some of our potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger
customer bases, and greater brand recognition in electronic markets than we do.
As a result, some of our competitors with other revenue or investment sources
may be able to devote more resources to marketing and promotional campaigns,
adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources
to product development and service offerings than we can, which may adversely
affect our business.
New technology could make our existing services obsolete.
The market for information services is characterized by rapidly changing
technology and continuously evolving standards. To be successful, we must adapt
by continually improving the performance, features, and reliability of our
services or else our services may become obsolete. We cannot assure you that we
will be able to respond in a timely manner to technological changes. The ability
of competitors to incorporate evolving standards and technologies successfully
into new services may make our services noncompetitive. Technological changes
16
could force us to lower the price of our services. If we fail to adapt to or
incorporate new standards or technology, it may have a material adverse effect
on our business and results of operations.
We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.
Maintaining profitability during a period of expansion will depend, among
other things, on our ability to manage effectively our operations. If we are
unable to manage our growth effectively, it may have a material adverse effect
on our business and results of operations.
Our success depends upon our ability to attract, train and retain key personnel.
Our success depends significantly upon the performance of our executive
officers and other key employees. We also need to attract, train, retain, and
motivate technical, managerial, and marketing personnel. Competition for
qualified personnel is intense. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the
development of our business. If we lose key personnel or fail to recruit
necessary additional personnel, our business and results of operations may be
materially adversely affected.
Our success depends in part on our ability to introduce new services in a timely
manner.
Our future growth depends on our successful and timely introduction of new
services in existing and emerging markets. We cannot assure you that we will
successfully complete development or that if such development is completed, our
planned introduction of these services will gain market acceptance or will meet
the technical or other requirements of potential customers. We increasingly
rely on the Internet for the growth of the market for our service. This depends
upon our timely delivery of an efficient Internet service as well as to our
individual customers' acceptance of our services. Delays in implementation or
the unsuccessful execution of our marketing initiatives could hinder our
business and our results of operations may suffer.
Future acquisitions or investments could adversely affect our results of
operations.
We have made acquisitions in the past and we expect to acquire complementary
businesses or technologies in the future. The success of any acquisition will
depend upon, among other things, our ability to:
- Identify and evaluate the proposed acquisition of complementary businesses
or technologies
- Complete the acquisition on reasonable terms
- Obtain any necessary financing
- Integrate effectively the acquired personnel, operations or technologies
- Retain customers and motivate key personnel
An acquisition could cause a distraction of our management and employees, an
increase in our expenses, an assumption of additional debt, and/or an issuance
of equity which could be dilutive to existing stockholders, and expose us to the
risk that we will fail to successfully implement the acquisition. This may
materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
17
Our stock price may fluctuate substantially.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly.
The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant
fluctuations in the future based on factors including:
- Announcements of new services by us or by our competitors
- Fluctuations in our quarterly financial results
- Fluctuations in our competitors' quarterly financial results
- Changes in analysts' estimates of our financial performance or our failure
to meet these estimates
- Conditions in the internet commerce, information services, and high
technology industries
- Conditions in the financial markets
The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations which have particularly affected the market prices for many high
technology companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of the specific companies.

OPTION GRANTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2000
The following table provides information relating to stock options to
purchase Common Stock granted to each of the executive officers named in the
compensation table above during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. None of
these options were granted under our Employee Stock Option Plan. Options
granted have a term of 10 years and vest automatically upon their grant.
The exercise price of the options we granted is greater than the fair market
value of our Common Stock based on the closing sales price of our Common Stock
in trading on the Nasdaq Bulletin Board on the trading day prior to the date of
grant. The exercise price may be paid by cash or check. Under this program, the
optionee may provide irrevocable instructions to sell the shares acquired on
exercise and to remit to us a cash amount equal to the exercise price and all
applicable withholding taxes.
We have extended our Employee Stock Option Plan to 2010. Currently no
options have been issued under the Employee Stock Option Plan.
The potential realizable value of options is calculated by assuming that the
price of our Common Stock increases from the exercise price at assumed rates of
stock appreciation of 5% and 10%, compounded annually over the 10 year term of
the option, and subtracting from that result the total option exercise price.
These assumed appreciation rates comply with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and do not represent our prediction of the performance of
our stock price.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
____________________________
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Beeper Plus, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Beeper Plus, Inc. as of June
30, 2000 and 1999 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity
(deficit), and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Beeper Plus, Inc. as of June
30, 2000 and 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations in each of the past
two years and has an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2000 of $1,241,196, that
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans with regard to these matters are also described in
Note 3. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amounts
and classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Our audits referred to above include audits of the financial statement schedule
listed under Item 14(a) of Form 10-K. In our opinion, the financial statement
schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole, the information required to be stated therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_____________________________
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
_____________________________________
Beeper Plus, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Nevada on March 25, 1986. On March 31, 1986, the Company acquired
Dial-A-Score, Inc. a Nevada corporation.
The Company disseminates sports and news information directly to customers
nationwide through hand held pagers by utilizing contracted paging services.
The Company also utilizes independent distributors to provide information to
clients within the United States.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
__________________________________________
Cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment - Furniture, fixtures and equipment are
stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (ranging from 5 to 7
years) of the respective assets. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs
is charged to operating expenses as incurred. Material expenditures which
increase the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the
estimated remaining useful life of the asset. The cost of properties sold,
or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or
amortization are removed from the accounts, and any gains or losses are
reflected in current operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets - In the event that facts and
circumstances indicate that the cost of long lived assets may be impaired,
an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is
required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the
asset would be compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a
write-down to fair value or discounted cash flow value is required.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue - Revenue is recognized as services
are provided. Deferred revenue results from the cash received from
customers for the prepayment of services to be provided.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the Company's financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the
Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Company's financial statements are based upon a number of significant
estimates, including the recovery of receivables, estimated lives of
furniture, fixtures and equipment and realization of deferred tax assets.
Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least
reasonably possible that these estimates will be further revised in the near
term and such revisions could be material.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Credit risk represents the accounting loss
that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed
completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk (whether
on or off balance sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for
groups of customers or counterparties when they have similar economic
characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual
obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other
F-8
BEEPER PLUS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_____________________________
conditions described below. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 105,
"Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-
Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk" the
credit risk amounts shown do not take into account the value of any
collateral or security.
The Company operates primarily in one industry segment with customers
located primarily in the Northwest United States, California, and Nevada.
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist
principally of accounts and notes receivable. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. The
Company also maintains allowances for potential losses on uncollectibility
of accounts receivables as needed, and such losses have been consistent with
Management's estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The estimated fair values for
financial instruments under FAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments", are determined at discrete points in time based on
relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and
cannot be determined with precision. The fair value of the notes payable is
based on borrowing rates that are available to the Company for loans with
similar terms, collateral, and maturity. The estimated fair value of the
accounts receivable and payable approximate their carrying values.
Advertising - The Company expenses advertising when incurred. Advertising
expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is $8,228,
$20,867, and $11,964, respectively.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for income
Taxes". Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Earnings per Share - Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is
calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur
if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the entity. Common stock equivalents for the
years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were anti-dilutive and excluded in
the earnings per share computation.
Impact of Recently Issued Standards - In Fiscal 1999, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 (FASB133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognizes all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those
instruments at fair value. Subsequently, FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133", which amends the effective
date of
F-9
BEEPER PLUS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_____________________________
FASB133 to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company does not believe the adoption of FASB133 will have a
material impact on its financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB101) "Revenue Recognition In Financial
Statements". SAB101 establishes guidelines in applying generally accepted
accounting principles to the recognition of revenue in financial statements
based on the following four criteria; persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller's
price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. SAB 101, as amended by SAB 101A, is effective no later
than the first fiscal quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December
15, 1999, except that registrants with fiscal years that begin between
December 16, 1999 and March 15, 2000, may report any resulting change in
accounting principle no later than their second fiscal quarter of the fiscal
year beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company does not believe that
the adoption of SAB101 will have a material effect on its financial position
or result of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
(APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock
options. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation" (FASB123), the Company will disclose the impact of
adopting the fair value accounting of employee stock options. Transaction in
equity instruments with non-employees for goods or services have been
accounted for using the fair value method prescribed by FASB123.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year
financial statements to conform with the current presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on net loss.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
_____________________
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has reported
net losses of $237,650, $290,173 and $66,990, respectively for the years
ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 resulting in an accumulated deficit of
$1,241,196 at June 30, 2000. These factors, among others, raise substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent
on its ability to obtain additional financing and to control costs and
generate sufficient revenues to obtain profitable operations. No assurance
can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amounts
and classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
4. RESTRICTED CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT:
_________________________________
At June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, the Company had a certificate of deposit
in the amount of $160,000 which is pledged as security for its note payable
(see Note 7) and is subject to withdrawal restrictions.

6. NOTE RECEIVABLE, STOCKHOLDER:
____________________________
At June 30, 1999 the Company had a note receivable in the amount of $100,000
(plus $5,997 of accrued interest) due from Maven Properties, Inc. (MPI)
which is a related party to Maven Enterprises, Inc., (MEI). MEI was a
majority shareholder in the Company owning 45.87% of the common stock
outstanding at June 30, 1999. At the time of the transaction the Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who was
subsequently relieved of his position with the Company, was also the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of MEI and MPI. During
the year ended June 30, 2000, the President of the Company personally
purchased all of the shares of common stock held by MEI at June 30, 1999.
The funds were advanced by the Company to settle obligations of MEI. The
note bears interest at 8% and was due on November 4, 1998. The Company has
reason to believe MEI will not make payment on the note and accordingly,
during the year ended June 30, 2000, recorded an impairment charge against
the full value of the note receivable plus accrued interest totaling
$105,997.

At June 30, 2000 the Company had a secured line of credit with Community
Bank of Nevada in the amount of $160,000, with a maturity date of August 14,
2001, secured by the certificate of deposit in the amount of $160,000.
Borrowings on the line bear interest at 7.25% (payable monthly). At June
30, 2000 and 1999, outstanding borrowings on this line were $159,931. The
line of credit agreement contains covenants which restrict the Company from
incurring additional debt or utilizing loan proceeds for purposes other than
working capital. At June 30, 2000, the Company was in violation of the
covenants with respect to use of proceeds.

principal loaned to the Company during the 2000 fiscal year into 500,000
shares of common stock at the current market price on the date of
conversion. Accrued interest, at June 30, 2000, on the converted notes was
paid in cash to the officer subsequent to year end and not included as part
of the conversion.
9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
____________________
In August 1998, the Company repurchased 5,000 shares of its common stock for
$3,370.
On July 13, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 20,135
shares of common stock to all employees currently employed as of June 30,
2000 for their continued dedication and loyalty to the Company. Compensation
expense of $1,409 was recognized in the year ended June 30, 2000. The
shares were issued to the employees subsequent to June 30, 2000.
Stock Options
_____________
In April 1989, the Company adopted the 1989 Employee Stock Option Plan (the
Plan) covering 500,000 shares. Under the plan, the Company can grant employees
non-statutory, incentive, or performance based stock options. The price of the
options granted pursuant to the plan shall not be less than 100% of the fair
market value of the shares on the date of grant. The options vest immediately
and expire after ten years from the date of grant. Prices for options granted
to employees who own greater than 10% or more of the Company's stock is at least
110% of the market value at date of grant. At June 30, 2000 and 1999, no options
were outstanding under the Plan.
F-12
BEEPER PLUS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_____________________________
In May 2000, the Company granted non-plan options to purchase 1,200,000
shares of common stock to the current Directors of the Company. The options
were granted with an exercise price of $0.04 per share which is greater than
the market price on the date of grant. The options vested immediately and
expire in 2010.
As stated in Note 2, the Company has not adopted the fair value accounting
prescribed by FASB123 for employees. Had compensation cost for stock
options issued to employees been determined based on the fair value at grant
date for awards in 2000 consistent with provisions of FASB 123, the
Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been adjusted to the
proforma amounts indicated below:

No options were granted or outstanding during the year ended June 30, 1999
and 1998. The fair value of each option issued during June 30, 2000 was
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model
using the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 6.32%,
expected live of two years, dividend yield of 0%, and expected volatility of
682.7%. The weighted average fair value of the options granted for the year

Sales Contracts
In January 1997, the Company signed a contract with a distributor located in
Northern California. This contract superseded a Distributorship Agreement
originally signed in November 1987. Beginning in June 1998, the Company
makes monthly payments of $16 to the distributor for each active customer in
the territory area for a 10 year period. The Distributor is entitled to 32%
of additional service fees collected from the customers within the
territory. On May 31, 2008, the Company will pay, to the distributor, $100
for each active paging customer inside the territory on that date. The
Company's rights, duties and obligations under the contract will terminate
at this time.
