ITEM 1.  BUSINESS OVERVIEW                                                      

Price Net U.S.A., Inc., (the Company) was founded in order to market and        
operate an Internet based infrastructure that supports a home-based business.   
We market an extensive line of products and services on the Internet, which     
includes independent mall sites, a company branded merchandise "super store",   
web site design and hosting services, long distance telephone service,          
internet service provider (ISP) capabilities and more.                          

Customers have the service, convenience and advantage of using the Internet     
from their home or office to make purchases. We market products and services    
to retail consumers as well as business to business.  We utilize an             
alliance-marketing program of independent representatives and mall operators    
to sell the products and services.  The mall operators typically pay an         
initial set-up and training charge, and a monthly mall maintenance fee.  Our    
program affords the Company the advantage of a rapidly expanding sales force    
without the normal upfront and ongoing costs of maintaining a sales             
organization of this size.  Each mall operator is compensated on the retail     
purchases of products and services from their Internet shopping mall.           

The Company's products and services are marketed exclusively through an         
alliance marketing system. This system enables the Company's independent mall   
operators to earn profits by selling products from the Company's branded super  
store as well as offering the host of Internet and telecommunication services   
to the operator's customer base. Mall Operators may also develop their own      
down-line organizations by sponsoring other independent mall operators to join  
the organization and provide e-commerce business in any market where the        
Company operates, entitling the sponsors to receive commission overrides on     
product sales and services sold within their down-line organizations.           

We believe that the Company's alliance marketing system is ideally suited for   
Internet e-commerce, because sales of such products and services are            
strengthened by ongoing personal contact between the retail consumers and the   
independent mall operators. Many of the customers are close friends or          
relatives of the mall operators and are willing to purchase products based on   
the notion that they are helping the mall operator receive a commission while   
receiving a very reasonable or discounted price for the products or services.   
The Company's alliance marketing system appeals to a broad cross-section of     
people throughout the world, particularly those seeking to supplement family    
income, start a home business or pursue employment opportunities other than     
conventional, full-time employment.                                             

Industry Overview                                                               

The Internet is an increasingly significant interactive global medium for       
information, communication and commerce. The Internet and e-commerce, as the    
world knows it, is less than 6 years old. Yet, in that short time, it has       
become one of the leading business growth areas in the global marketplace.      
International Data Corporation, a market research firm, estimates that the      
number of users who make purchases over the Internet worldwide will grow from   
31 million in 1998 to more than 183 million in 2003.                            

Internet commerce has emerged as an exciting alternative to traditional retail  
shopping. Internet commerce can be transacted in the convenience of one's home  
or business and consumers have access to virtually millions of products and     
services. Plus shopping can be done 24 hours a day.                             

We believe that manufacturers using traditional store-based retailers confront  
a number of challenges in providing a satisfying combination of products to     
consumers, including:                                                           

.  The number and variety of items available to the consumer is constrained 
by the limited shelf space available in the retail outlet, thereby    
limiting selection for consumers;                                     

.  Because of the cost of carrying inventory in multiple store locations,   
traditional store-based retailers focus their product selection on the
 most popular products that produce the highest inventory turns, thereby
further limiting consumer selection; and                              

.  The ability to make sales is limited to the hours the traditional store- 
based retailers are open for business.                                

In addition, we believe that many consumers find the traditional shopping       
experience to be time-consuming, inconvenient and unpleasant due to factors     
such as location, store layout, product selection, level of customer service    
and the inconvenience of having to leave home to purchase something that can    
be sold and delivered another way.                                              

Operating Strengths                                                             

The Company believes the source of its success is its commitment to serving     
the needs of its independent mall operators and representatives. The Company    
provides its mall operators with virtually millions of high quality brand name  
products through its merchandising affiliate, internet and telecommunication    
services and products, and an appealing network marketing system that combines  
a highly attractive compensation program with extensive Company-sponsored       
training and motivational events and services. The Company has established a    
strong operating platform to support representatives and facilitate future      
growth. The key components of this platform include the following:              
Brand Name Products. The Company offers millions of brand name products         
through its strategic alliance with a major on-line wholesale merchandiser.     
This means that the Company's mall operators can offer their customers a        
tremendous selection of products at very reasonable and/or discount prices.     
Attractive Independent Mall Operator Commission Program. The Company believes   
that it offers a financially rewarding commission program in the alliance       
marketing, e-commerce industry. Each mall operator and their up-line receive a  
commission ranging from 2 to 10 percent of the gross margin of the products     
and/or services sold. Mall operators also receive tremendous commissions of up  
to 33% of the gross cost of mall sites for establishing and sponsoring          
additional mall operators.                                                      

Comprehensive Representative Support Services. The Company is committed to      
training and motivating its mall owners and independent representatives and     
providing ongoing support. The Company regularly conducts motivational events   
and training programs, both live and via teleconferences, and a wide range of   
promotional literature (including catalogs and newsletters), all in multiple    
languages and tailored to meet the particular needs of the Company's            
representatives worldwide. In addition to Company-sponsored live events each    
month, independent representatives themselves conduct numerous local training   
and motivational events each month.                                             

Advanced Global Information Systems. To facilitate the Company's global         
expansion, the Company employs advanced computer and telecommunications         
systems that link its domestic and international operations and provide timely  
and accurate product ordering, commission payment processing and                
representative support.                                                         

Alliance Marketing System                                                       

The Company's products and mall sites are distributed through an alliance       
marketing system consisting of an extensive network of independent              
representatives. Independent representatives are in essence independent         
contractors who promote the Company's Independent Mall Operator sites. Mall     
operators and their customers purchase products directly from the Company       
sponsored "super store". Mall operators and Representatives may elect to work   
on a full-time or part-time basis. The Company believes that its alliance       
marketing system appeals to a broad cross-section of people worldwide,          
particularly those seeking to supplement family income, start a home business   
or pursue employment opportunities other than conventional, full-time           
employment, and that a majority of its organization therefore work on a         
part-time basis. Many of the customers are close friends or relatives of the    
mall operators and are willing to purchase products based on the notion that    
they are helping the mall operator receive a commission while receiving a very  
reasonable or discounted price for the products.                                

Online shopping mall sites are sold by the company's network of Independent     
Representatives (IR). Each mall site is considered an Independent Mall          
Operator (IMO) as well as an independent contractor. When initially             
established, each Independent Mall Operator (IMO) receives a unique reference   
number for their site. This number is used to track all Internet retail         
activity for their site. Each IMO provides access codes, free of charge, to     
its base of customers so the customers will purchase items on the IMO's         
shopping site. The Company's merchandise distributor actually captures,         
processes and provides customer support for all IMO retail sales and services.  
On a monthly basis the distributors provide data and submit sales commissions   
information to the Company, who then distributes commissions to the IMO. To     
maintain active online and within the organization, each IMO must pay a         
nominal monthly e-service fee.                                                  

An Independent Representative (IR) is considered an independent contractor      
working their own businesses similar to other network marketing companies in    
the industry.  Independent representatives earnings are derived from several    
sources. First, an IR earns commission on merchandise sold by IMOs within       
their down-line organization. Second, an IR who sponsors other IMOs to join     
the organization and establish their own mall-shopping site earns commissions   
on the IMO start up fees. Third, an IR earns the right to receive royalties     
upon attaining the various levels of director status. The Company believes      
that the right of independent representatives to earn royalties and production  
bonuses contributes significantly to the Company's ability to retain its most   
productive representatives. To become an independent representative, a person   
must purchase an independent representative kit from the Company. The Company   
seeks to expand its independent representative base in each market by offering  
representatives attractive compensation opportunities.                          

The Company maintains a computerized system for processing and tracking mall    
operator and independent representative activity and calculating commission     
and bonus payments, which enable the company to remit such payments promptly    
to IMOs and IRs. The Company believes that prompt remittance of commissions is  
vital to maintaining a motivated network of IMOs and IRs and that its sales     
organizations' loyalty to the Company has been enhanced by the Company's        
history of consistently making commission and bonus payments on a scheduled     
basis.                                                                          

Communications and Management Information Systems                               

In order to facilitate its continued growth and support organization            
activities, the Company continually upgrades its communications and management  
information systems. These systems include, among other things:                 

(1)     A centralized host computer server located in the Company's Irvine,     
California corporate office, which is linked to the Company's international     
locations through a dedicated wide area network that provides on-line,          
real-time computer connectivity and access;                                     

(2)     Local area networks of personal computers within the Company's          
domestic and foreign markets, serving the Company's corporate staff, and;       

(3)     An international web site and inter-company e-mail system through       
which the Company's customers, mall operators, independent representatives,     
and potential investors can access and communicate by.                          

Credit Card Processing Arrangements                                             

Most sales of the Company's retail products are made over the Internet through  
credit card purchases. We use credit card processing companies to verify        
credit cards and provide risk management services. These companies are          
connected to our affiliates as well as our own platform and database and        
verification or denial is usually accomplished within seconds. We pay these     
processing companies a percentage of sales as their fee and must also provide   
a deposit for potential charge backs.                                           

Electronic Marketing                                                            

The Company's products and mall sites are mainly distributed through an         
alliance marketing system consisting of an extensive network of independent     
representatives. However, we have developed a secondary marketing strategy      
based on increasing customer traffic to our Web site and strengthening our      
company name.                                                                   

Internet Advertising. We have taken a selective approach in our advertising     
strategy. We attempt to maximize the return from promotional expenditures by    
choosing advertising media based on the cost relative to the likely audience    
and ability to generate increased traffic for our Web site. We place            
advertisements on various Web sites frequently visited by this customer group   
in the United States and abroad. These advertisements usually take the form of  
banner ads that encourage readers to click through directly to our Web site.    
We also advertise on Internet portals that are super Web sites with search      
engines and multiple services available to site visitors. We believe that       
placing banner advertising on these and other portals may significantly         
increase our targeted exposure to prospective customers and increase our name   
identity.                                                                       

Customer Electronic Mail Broadcasts. We actively market to our base of          
customers through e-mail broadcasts. All new mall operators are automatically   
added to our electronic mailing list. We anticipate sending e-mail messages     
each month announcing new products, new countries, and new features.            

Electronic Mail to Select Mailing Lists. We also plan to deliver e-mail         
broadcasts to certain select mailing lists from time to time announcing         
pertinent information, including the addition of a new country, new products    
and rates.                                                                      

Other Methods. We will continually review other potential cost-effective        
methods of advertising and marketing our products and services through the      
Internet. Such methods may include the use of an affiliate program, chat        
rooms, video e-mail and other methods.                                          

Mall Operator and Independent Representative Support Services                   

We believe that our ability to establish and maintain long-term relationships   
with our mall operators and encourage repeat purchases is dependent, in part,   
on the strength of our mall operator and independent representative support     
services. Our support and service personnel are available from 8:00 a.m. to     
5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, five days a week to provide assistance via e-mail or    
telephone. They are responsible for handling all mall operator or independent   
representative inquiries.                                                       

We provide support via both e-mail and telephone service during business        
hours. If a mall operator or independent representative has encountered a       
problem, our service department will take the call, or the e-mail, and respond  
immediately but resolution of the matter may take two or more business days.    

Our Web site has been designed around industry standard architecture to reduce  
downtime in the event of outages or catastrophic occurrences. Our Web site      
provides 24-hour day, seven-day week availability. Our Web site operations      
staff consists of systems administrators who manage, monitor and operate our    
Web site. The continued uninterrupted operation of our Web site is essential    
to our business, and it is the job of the site operations staff to ensure, to   
the greatest extent possible, the reliability of our Web site. We provide our   
own connection to the Internet utilizing dedicated T-1 data lines and through   
Qwest's hosting backbone. We believe that this telecommunications and Internet  
service facility are essential to our operation and we anticipate upgrading     
these facilities as volume and demand for our services grow.                    

Technology

hardware and software components, the development of additional new software    
components, and the integration of off-the-shelf components into our systems.   

Commercially Available Licensed Technology. Our strategy has also been to       
license commercially available technology whenever possible rather than seek a  
custom-made or internally developed solution. We believe that this strategy     
enables us to reduce our operating costs and to respond to changing demands     
due to growth and technological shifts. This strategy also allows us to focus   
our development efforts on creating and enhancing the specialized software      
applications that are unique to our business. Listed below are some of the      
Company's key architectural components:

database.                                                             

Factors Affecting Future Operating Results                                      

We believe that this document contains "forward-looking statements" within the  
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These          
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs  
and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to   
our management. Use of words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates,"      
"intends," "plans," "estimates," "should," "likely" or similar expressions,     
indicate a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements involve        
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Certain of the information contained in   
this annual report on Form 10-K consists of forward-looking statements.         
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from     
the forward-looking statements include the following:                           

We are primarily dependent on our Internet content, applications and alliance   
marketing system and our future revenue depends on continued demand for our     
services. Currently, our future growth depends on the commercial success of     
our Internet content, applications and alliance marketing system and other      
services and products we may develop and/or offer. While we have been selling   
our services commercially since 1997, sales may not continue in the future for  
a variety of reasons. First, the market for our existing services is            
relatively new and issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet,        
including security, reliability, speed, cost, ease of access, and quality of    
service, regulatory initiatives and necessary increases in bandwidth            
availability, remain unresolved and are likely to affect its development. Any   
failure of our network infrastructure could lead to significant costs and       
disruptions, which could reduce our revenue and harm our business, financial    
results and reputation.                                                         

Employees                                                                       

As of March 2001 Price Net had 7 full-time employees and 4 part-time            
employees.                                                                      

Of our full-time employees, 3 were in marketing and sales, 2 were in senior     
management, and 2 were in administration.                                       

Company History                                                                 

On March 11, 1998 we were known as Gold Star Gaming, Inc. and we                
purchased/merged with Price net U.S.A., Inc.  The surviving entity was Gold     
Star Gaming, Inc., which changed its name to Price net, U.S.A., Inc.  Price     
net was organized October 7, 1997.  For this purchase Gold Star issued          
2,250,010 shares of common stock and exchanged these shares with Price net      
shares.  The Gold Star shareholders then gave back to the company all of their  
shares except 1,100,000.  The final result us with 3,350,010 shares of common   
stock issued   and outstanding.  This purchase was properly accounted for as a  
reverse merger because Gold Star was considered the nominal acquirer.  A        
reverse merger means that for accounting purposes the nominal acquirer is       
viewed as having been acquired by the legally acquired company.  Reverse        
merger also means that the historical data shown on the financial statements    
will be that of the acquired company.  In other words, for accounting, the      
merger is as if Price net purchased Gold Star.                                  

On October 11, 1999 we purchased 100% of shareholder interest in NCN            
investments, Inc.  NCN Investments, Inc is a holding company, which wholly      
owns NCN Communications, Inc.  NCN Communications, Inc. is a long distance      
telephone service provider company.  NCN has gross telephone service sales      
revenue of approximately $800,000 per month that contributes to a net revenue   
stream of approximately $75,000 per month.                                      

On June 19, 2000 we acquired 100% of Eagle Equity Group II (MNS), a fully       
reporting public OTC Bulletin Board company.  We issued 50,000 shares of restric
ted common stock and paid $100,000 in cash for this company.  We also issued    
an additional 450,000 shares of restricted common stock to agents for the       
associated finders fees and consulting fees as part of the acquisition.  All    
of the stock was valued at $125,000.                                            

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY                                                

Our executive offices are presently located in Irvine, California where we      
lease approximately 26,000 square feet under a lease at a monthly rental of     
approximately $41,000. The lease expires November 1, 2004. We believe our       
space is adequate for our current needs. As we expand, we expect that suitable  
additional space will be available on commercially reasonable terms, although   
no assurance can be made in this regard. The property is located in an office   
and industrial area with nearby access to freeways and airports.

business.  We utilize an alliance-marketing program of independent              
representatives and mall operators to sell their products and services.  The    
mall operators typically pay an initial setup and training charge, and a        
monthly mall maintenance fee.  This program offers us the advantage of a        
rapidly expanding sales force without the normal upfront and ongoing costs of   
maintaining a sales organization of this size.  Each mall operator is           
compensated on the retail purchases of products and services from their         
Internet shopping mall and long distance phone calls made.                      

Revenue                                                                         

We receive revenue from retail product sales, services, the sales of online     
shopping mall sites, and monthly site fees.  Services, which are available to   
the independent distributors for personal use and to sell, include long         
distance telephone service, Internet provider service (ISP), prepaid legal      
service, income tax audit protection service and Internet site maintenance and  
upgrading.                                                                      

When initially established, each Independent Mall Operator (IMO) receives a     
unique reference number for their site.  This number is used to track all       
Internet retail activity for their site.  Each IMO provides access codes to     
customers so the customers will purchase items on their shopping site.  Price   
net has associations with various merchandise vendors that actually capture,    
process and provide customer support for all Internet retail sales.  On a       
monthly basis the vendors provide data and submit sales commissions to us.  We  
then pay the independent distributors their commissions and the difference is   
our gross profit for the month.  Although we began merchandise sales in 1998,   
we have never been able to establish a significant revenue stream with product  
sales from the Internet mall sites.                                             

Our main sources of revenue have been the commissions on long distance          
telephone calls, and mall site sales.                                           

Cost Of Sales                                                                   

Cost of sales consists primarily of the costs of commissions paid to our        
network of independent sales representatives. Also included are refunds from    
prior period sales.                                                             

Expenses                                                                        

Price Net's expenses consist of sales and marketing, and general and            
administrative expenses. Sales and marketing and general and administrative     
expenses consist of salaries and related benefits, commissions, promotional     
expenses, public relations services, professional services, stock issued for    
services, stock-based compensation, amortization of goodwill, and general       
operating costs.                                                                

Results of Operations                                                           

The Company has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from    
operating activities and has accumulated a deficit at December 31, 2000 in the  
amount of $19,125,053. The Company's net loss of $8,430,470 in 2000 included    
non-cash operating expenses of $4,417,193 for Stock Based Compensation and      
Services, Amortization of Goodwill, Depreciation, write down of inventory and   
impairment of intangible assets. The Company's net loss of $9,171,926 in 1999   
included non-cash operating expenses of $5,106,803 for Stock Based              
Compensation and Services, Amortization of Goodwill and Depreciation.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to   
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1999                                             

Revenue                                                                         

Revenue decreased to $3,373,456 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000     
from $8,306,759 for the comparable period in 1999 as a result of the            
significant reorganization and restructuring of our operation and customer      
base stemming from the termination of our Company President as well as the      
departure of certain field leadership associated with the president. Of the     
$3,373,456 revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, $2.6 million    
represents independent mall site sales; merchandise sales and monthly service   
fees. The remainder represents long-distance phone service revenue of           
$737,187.                                                                       

Cost of Sales                                                                   

Cost of sales consists primarily of the costs of commissions paid to our        
network of independent sales representatives. Also included are refunds from    
prior period sales. Cost of sales decreased to $3,208,363 for the fiscal year   
ended December 31, 2000 from $8,709,921 for the comparable period in 1999.      
This decrease was primarily attributable to our decrease in sales volume. Cost  
of sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 included approximately     
$756 thousand in refund requests. As mentioned in the notes to the financial    
statements, refund requests are recorded immediately to the financial           
statements. However, most of the refund requests are subject to offset by       
commissions paid to the independent representatives and the offset amounts are  
not reflected in the financial statement. We expect the overall dollar cost of  
sales to increase in future periods to the extent that our sales volume         
increases but not as a percentage of revenue.                                   

Operating Expenses                                                              

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative        
expenses consist of advertising and promotional expenditures, payroll and       
related expenses for executive and administrative personnel, facilities         
expenses, professional and consulting services expenses, travel and other       
general corporate expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses        
decreased to $8.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 from      
$8.7 million for the comparable period in 1999. Overall operating expenses are  
expected to decrease as a percentage of revenue during future periods because   
our sales of mall sites and merchandise are based on e-commerce, which allows   
increases in the volume of purchases without having to incrementally add        
overhead. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase    
in absolute dollars as we continue to pursue advertising and marketing          
efforts, expand our locations worldwide, expand our staff and incur additional  
costs related to the growth of our business and being a public company.         

Net Loss                                                                        

We incurred a net loss of $(8,430,470) for the fiscal year ended December 31,   
2000 as compared to $(9,171,926) for the comparable period in 1999. Net loss    
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 was primarily affected by the       
non-cash transactions and refund requests as mentioned above.                   

Recent Developments                                                             

In June 2000 we negotiated a strategic arrangement with 2HQ.com, Inc., for      
mall product sales applications including the back-end processing, order        
fulfillment, distribution, and customer service. The arrangement also provides  
for web site mega-search engine technology and private labeling of the          
Company's web page.                                                             

Liquidity and Capital Resources                                                 

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private      
sales of equity and debt and cash generated from operations. As of December     
31, 2000, we had approximately $150,364 of cash and cash equivalents. As of     
that date, our principal commitments consisted of obligations outstanding       
under operating leases for facilities, vehicles and equipment, obligations to   
vendors stemming from costs associated with the daily on-going operations, and  
obligations for certain costs associated with the phone company acquisition in  
October 1999.                                                                   

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,911,756 for the fiscal year ended  
December 31, 2000 compared to $3,827,716 for the comparable period in 1999.     
Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31,    
2000 primarily consisted of net operating losses adjusted for expenses paid by  
stock issuances, decreases in accounts receivable, increases in accounts        
payable, amortization costs and the adjustment for the write down of            
inventory. Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended      
December 31, 1999 primarily consisted of net operating losses adjusted for      
items such as the issuance of stock for expenses, the increase in inventory,    
an increase in accounts payable and decreases in prepaids and deposits.         

Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31,    
2000 consisted the purchase of MNS Eagle Equity Group II and the                
purchase/defense of international sales rights. Net cash used for investing     
activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 included fixed asset     
purchases. Net cash used in investing activities was $805,815 for the year      
ended December 31, 2000 compared to $971,834 for the comparative year ended     
period in 1999.                                                                 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,783,534 for the year ended     
December 31, 2000 compared to $5,737,822 for the year ended December 31, 1999.  
Net cash provided by financing activities for 1999 was affected by the large    
sales of private placement common stock.                                        

The Company had a working capital position as of December 31, 2000 of           
approximately  $4,235 as compared to a working capital position of              
approximately  $938,272 as of December 31,1999.                                 

The Company had a Stockholders' Equity of $(1,058,944) as of December 31, 2000  
as compared to a Stockholders' Equity $4,612,486 as of December 31,1999.  The   
Company had an accumulated Retained Earnings deficit of $19,125,053 at          
December 31, 2000, in comparison to an accumulated Retained Earnings deficit    
of $10,694,583 as of December 31, 1999. The increase in the accumulated         
deficit is due to the net loss of $8,430,470 for the fiscal year ended          
December 31, 2000.                                                              

The Company does not currently possess a financial institution source of        
financing and the Company cannot be certain that it's existing sources of cash  
will be adequate to meet its liquidity requirements. Therefore, the Company is  
considering the following options to meet its liquidity requirements:           

(a)     Attempting to raise additional funds through the sale of equity         
 securities to persons or entities who are not presently stockholders of the
Company;                                                                  
(b)     Attempting to franchise or license its technology and proprietary       
rights to foreign countries;                                              
(c)     Reducing the Company's present rate of expenditures, which might        
materially adversely affect the ability of the Company to market its      
products and services effectively.                                        

The Company's future capital requirements will depend on factors, including     
(i) the progress and effectiveness of its sales activities and marketing        
approach, and (ii) the ability of the Company to maintain its existing          
customer base and establishing and expanding its customer base into new         
domestic and foreign markets. However, if operating expenses are higher than    
expected or if cash flow from operations is lower than anticipated, there can   
be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capital resources to be   
able to continue as a going concern.                                            

We may need to raise additional capital funds if, for example, we pursue        
business or technology acquisitions or experience operating losses that exceed  
our current expectations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of  
equity, equity-related or debt securities, such securities may have rights,     
preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common stock     
and our stockholders may experience additional dilution. We cannot be certain   
that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when       
required, or at all.                                                            

Unless the Company is able to continue to generate revenues or obtain           
additional financing in the future, the continuing losses incurred by the       
Company might raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue   
as a going concern.  Therefore, the Company's ability to continue in business   
as a going concern depends upon its continuing ability to sell its products,    
to generate franchise and licensing fees from the potential sales of its        
technology and products, to conserve liquidity by setting sales and marketing   
goals and other priorities, reducing expenditures, and to obtain financing      
through equity offerings or conventional banking sources.  In any event, there  
is no assurance that any expenditure reductions, financings or other measures   
that the Company may enact will enable it to meet its working capital           
requirements.

PART III

Price Net U.S.A., Inc.                                                          
Audit Committee and                                                             
Board of Directors                                                              

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Price Net         
U.S.A., Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated      
statements of operations; stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three     
years then ended December 31, 2000.  These financial statements are the         
responsibility of the company's management.  My responsibility is to express    
an opinion on these financial statements based upon my audit.                   

I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing             
standards.  Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit 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.  I believe  
that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.                       

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in    
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Price Net         
U.S.A., Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated      
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three     
years then ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted        
accounting principles.                                                          

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the      
company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the financial            
statements the company has had a net loss since inception.  Previously, the     
company was able to raise funds through stock sales to pay ongoing overhead     
and keep the operations active.  During the fall of 2000 the company's ability  
to raise additional capital was curtailed by its lack of earnings and by        
general market conditions.  Without additional capital the company was forced   
to reduce operations, which caused sales to cease.  Currently the company has   
no sales except its telephone revenue. These factors raise doubt about the      
company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do  
not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty.

PRICENET U.S.A., INC.                                                           
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                                   

NOTE 1.     GENERAL BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES     

Organization                                                                    
Price Net U.S.A., Inc. was originally organized in Nevada as Gold Star Gaming,  
Inc. on May 31, 1994.  We were founded in order to market and operate an        
internet-based company that supports a home-based business.                     

Internet Shopping Mall Concept                                                  
We market an extensive line of products and services on the internet.           
Customers have the service, convenience and advantage of using the internet     
from their home or office to make purchases.                                    

Marketing through Networking                                                    
We market products and services to retail consumers as well as business to      
business.  We utilize a network-marketing program of independent                
representatives and mall operators to sell their products and services.  The    
mall operators typically pay an initial setup and training charge, and a        
monthly mall maintenance fee.  This program offers us the advantage of a        
rapidly expanding sales force without the normal upfront and ongoing costs of   
maintaining a sales organization of this size.  Each mall operator is           
compensated on the retail purchases of products and services from their         
internet shopping mall and long distance phone calls made.                      

Accounting Basis                                                                
The basis is generally accepted accounting principles.                          

Revenue                                                                         
We receive revenue from retail product sales, services, the sales of online     
shopping mall sites, and monthly site fees.  Services, which are available to   
the independent distributors for personal use and to sell, include long         
distance telephone service, internet provider service (ISP), prepaid legal      
service, income tax audit protection service and internet site maintenance and  
upgrading.                                                                      

When initially established, each Independent Mall Operator (IMO) receives a     
unique reference number for their site.  This number is used to track all       
internet retail activity for their site.  Each IMO provides access codes to     
customers so the customers will purchase items on their shopping site.  Price   
net has associations with various merchandise vendors that actually capture,    
process and provide customer support for all internet retail sales.  On a       
monthly basis the vendors provide data and submit sales commissions to us.  We  
then pay the independent distributors their commissions and the difference is   
our gross profit for the month.  Although we began merchandise sales in 1998,   
we have never been able to establish a significant revenue stream with product  
sales from the internet mall sites.                                             

Our main sources of revenue have been the commissions on long distance          
telephone calls, and mall site sales.                                           

Advertising and Promotions                                                      
Advertising and Promotional expenses are expensed when incurred.  The majority  
of these costs relate to a monthly sales promotional meeting that we sponsor.   

F-6                                                                             

Sales Taxes                                                                     
Currently, we follow the normal industry practice of only collecting sales tax  
on shipments of products to consumers within our home state of California.      
The internet sales industry is new and changing constantly.  Local, state and   
federal agencies have not fully addressed this new sales medium.  We cannot     
predict what if any taxes a particular government or agency may impose on       
future or even past sales.  A successful assertion by one or more states or     
any foreign country could have a material adverse effect on our business and    
financial statements if the taxes are applied retroactively.                    

Income Taxes                                                                    
The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and    
the net of the change in the deferred income taxes.  Provision is made for the  
deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which       
transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter   
into the determination of net income in the financial statements.               

Stock Based Compensation                                                        
We have elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,           
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," for the disbursement of our common  
stock for compensation.                                                         

Earnings per Share                                                              
The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing our net income    
(adjusted for certain dividends when paid) by the weighted average number of    
common shares during the year.  The diluted earnings (loss) (adjusted for       
certain dividends and certain interest when expensed) by the diluted weighted   
average number of shares outstanding during the year.  The diluted weighted     
average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of    
shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt   
or equity.                                                                      

                                 12/31/00     12/31/99
Basic weighted average shares          14,288,085     7,562,520       
Options and Warrants                    1,377,767     1,583,600       
Diluted weighted average shares        15,665,852     9,146,120       

Estimates                                                                       
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally        
accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions    
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying   
notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.                       

NOTE 2.     REVERSE ACQUISITION                                                 

On March 11, 1998 we were known as Gold Star Gaming, Inc. and we                
purchased/merged with Price net U.S.A., Inc.  The surviving entity was Gold     
Star Gaming, Inc., which changed its name to Price net, U.S.A., Inc.  Price     
net was organized October 7, 1997.  For this purchase Gold Star issued          
2,250,010 shares of common stock and exchanged these shares with Price net      
shares.  The Gold Star shareholders then gave back to the company all of their  
shares except 1,100,000.  The final result us with 3,350,010 shares of common   
stock issued   and outstanding.  This purchase was properly accounted for as a  
reverse merger because Gold Star was considered the nominal acquirer.  A        
reverse merger means that for accounting purposes the nominal acquirer is       
viewed as having been acquired by the legally acquired company.
