NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2003
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements
are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the
interim statements include all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for interim periods. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates
of America re requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its
ability to resolve its liquidity problems, principally by
obtaining equity, increasing sales and achieving profitable
operations. The Company has experienced a history of net
losses, has a stockholders' deficit of $241,774 and a net
working capital deficiency of $227,266. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to this matter are to implement
cost reduction policies and develop an aggressive sales
strategy. The Company believes these efforts in conjunction
with raising equity, will improve liquidity and sustain
continuing operations. The eventual outcome, however, of
management's plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of
certainty. The accompanying interim financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these risks and uncertainties.
NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK ISSUANCES
During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company issued
1,800,000 shares of common stock to subcontractors for
services. The stock was valued at the closing price on the
date of issuance which resulted in an aggregate expense of
$201,000. The contracts provide for services over the next
year which resulted in a prepaid expense of $123,750 as of
March 31, 2003 an a first quarter expense of $77,250 that is
included in the interim financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
- --------
Technology Connections, Inc. is hereby providing cautionary statements
identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those projected in forward looking statements made in this
quarterly report on Form 10-QSB. Any statements that express, or involve
discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or
future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or
phrases such as "likely will result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is
anticipated," "estimated," "intends," "plans" and "projection") are not
historical facts and may be forward looking statements and involve estimates and
uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expresses in the forward looking statements. Accordingly, any such statements
are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the
following key factors that have a direct bearing on our results of operations:
the absence of contracts with customers or suppliers; our ability to maintain
and develop relationships with customers and suppliers; our ability to
successfully integrate acquired businesses or new brands; the impact of
competitive products and pricing; supply constraints or difficulties; changes in
the construction industry; the retention and availability of key personnel; and
general economic and business conditions.
We caution that the factors described herein could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements such
that the investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on
which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on
which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events or circumstances. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be
guaranteed.
New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to
predict all such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such
factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements.
Overview
- --------
We were incorporated in North Carolina on May 23, 2001, to engage in the
business of installing structured wiring capacities into newly constructed homes
and retrofitting existing homes with the same integrated technology components
and systems. Such integrated technology and systems include security systems,
Internet technology, satellite television delivery systems, indoor/outdoor
lighting, solar energy systems and entertainment/communication technology.
Our executive offices are located at 4421 Stuart Andrew Blvd., Suite 102,
Charlotte, North Carolina 28217. Our telephone number is (704) 341-0698. We
currently have five full-time employees. We are authorized to issue common and
preferred stock. Our total authorized common stock consists of 100,000,000
shares, with a par value of $.001 per share, of which 26,957,860 shares are
issued and outstanding. Our total authorized preferred stock consists of
5,000,000 shares, with a par value of $.001 per share, of which no shares are
issued and outstanding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------
For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (unaudited).
Sales.
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $18,956
and $111,446, respectively, a decrease of $92,490 or 83%.
All revenues were from unrelated third parties and were made primarily from new
home buyers.
Cost of Sales.
The cost of sales includes the purchase price for equipment plus other
direct costs associated with completing the installing, such as subcontractors
and permits. It is customary to experience variations in the cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales based on the types of products installed at any given
location and the related cost of labor to complete installation.
The cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and
2002 were $12,128 and $71,284, respectively, a decrease of $59,156.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and
2002 were 64% and 56%, respectively.
We
expect cost of sales as a percentage of sales to decrease to around 50% of total
sales for fiscal year 2003 as we pursue larger installation projects. In
addition, volume discounts will be available to us if we are successful in
achieving sales growth in the future which will further reduce our cost of sales
as a percentage of sales.
Expenses.
Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002
were $111,473 and $550,822, respectively.
Notable expense accounts included the following:
Subcontractors' fees were $77,250. This was primarily associated with the
1,800,000 shares of our common stock we paid to several subcontractors during the
first quarter of 2003 for expenses to develop our business that were not related
to actual projects. The stock was valued at the closing price on the date of
issuance which resulted in an aggregate expense of $201,000. The contracts
provide for services over the next year which resulted in a prepaid expense
of $123,750 as of March 31, 2003 and a first quarter expense of $77,250.
We expect increases in expenses through the year 2003 as the Company
moves toward developing its business plan. We expect the increase to be
primarily in sales related expenses such as advertising and salespersons'
salaries.
7
Income/ Losses.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $113,246 versus
a net loss of $516,588 in the same period in 2002, a decrease of $403,342.
The decrease is due primarily to the expenses incurred relating to
our efforts to become a public company in 2002.
We expect to continue to incur losses at least through the year 2003.
In addition, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain
profitability or that our revenue growth can be sustained in the future.
Impact of Inflation.
We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations since
inception. We believe that we can offset inflationary increases in the cost of
labor by increasing sales and improving operating efficiencies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Cash flows used in operations were $13,869 and $59,704 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The cash flows use in operations
were primarily atributed to Subcontractors' fees we paid to several
subcontractors during the first quarter of 2003 for expenses to develop our
business that were not related to actual projects.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 and $8,531 for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We had no
purchases of furniture or equipment for the period ending March 31, 2003.
Cash flows generated by financing activities were $9,642 and
$87,967 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. Cash flows for
the period included $1,471 in proceeds from stockholder loans and borrowings
on notes payable. Proceeds were used for advertising and working capital.
The stockholder loan was made by our CEO, Kevin Kyzer.
The stockholder loan bears interest at 6% per annum and is due on demand.
The loan is not evidenced by a written promissory note, but rather is an oral
agreement between the Company and the stockholder.
Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through
March 31, 2003 with a series of debt and equity transactions, including
those with related parties as described above. If we are unable to receive
additional cash from our related parties, we may need to rely on financing from
outside sources through debt or equity transactions. Our related parties are
under no legal obligation to provide us with capital infusions. Failure to
obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect on operations and
financial condition.
We had cash on hand of $230 and a working capital deficit of
$227,266 as of March 31, 2003 which is not sufficient to fund our operations
through the next twelve months. Our working capital deficit is primarily due to
current obligations in account payable and loans from stockholders. We will
substantially rely on the existence of revenue from our business; however, we
have no current or projected capital reserves that will sustain our business for
the next 12 months. Also, if the projected revenues fall short of needed
capital we may not be able to sustain our capital needs for the next twelve
months. We will then need to obtain additional capital through equity or debt
financing to sustain operations for an additional year. A lack of significant
revenues beginning in the first half of 2003 will significantly affect our cash
position and move us towards a position where the raising of additional funds
through equity or debt financing will be necessary. Our current level of
operations would require capital of approximately $150,000 to sustain operation
through year 2003 and approximately $200,000 per year thereafter. Modifications
to our business plans or additional property acquisitions may require additional
capital for us to operate. There can be no assurance that additional capital
will be available to us when needed or available on terms favorable to the
Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from the
potential change in value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations
in interest rates and market prices. The Company has not traded or otherwise
transacted in derivatives nor does it expect to do so in the future. The Company
has established policies and internal processes related to the management of
market risks which are used in the normal course of its business operations.
The fair value of long-term debt is subject to interest rate risk. While changes
in market interest rates may affect the fair value of a company's fixed-rate
long-term debt, if any, the Company believes that a change in interest rates
would not have a material impact on its financial condition, future results of
operations or cash flows.
10
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
- --------
(a) On March 31, 2003, we made an evaluation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. In our opinion, the disclosure controls and procedures are adequate
because the systems of controls and procedures are designed to assure, among
other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are
recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely
manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods being
presented. Moreover, the evaluation did not reveal any significant deficiencies
or material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures.
(b) There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls since the last
evaluation.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within 90 days prior to the date of filing of this report, we carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including the Chief Executive Officer (who also effectively serves
as the Chief Financial Officer), of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective for
gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information we are required to disclose
in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the
time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no
significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of this
evaluation.

None.
Item 2. Changes in Securities

first quarter of 2003 for expenses to develop our business that were not related
to actual projects. The stock was valued at the closing price on the date of
issuance which resulted in an aggregate expense of $201,000.
