                          (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              AS OF MARCH 31, 2000

NOTE  1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      (A)  Organization and Business Operations

      Communication Ventures, Inc. (a development stage company) ("the Company")
      was  incorporated  in  Delaware  on  September  15,  1998 to  engage in an
      internet-based  business.  At March  31,  2000,  the  Company  had not yet
      commenced  any  revenue-generating  operations,  and all  activity to date
      relates to the  Company's  formation,  proposed  fund raising and business
      plan development.

      The  Company's  ability  to  commence  revenue-generating   operations  is
      contingent  upon its ability to implement  its business plan and raise the
      capital it will require  through the issuance of equity  securities,  debt
      securities, bank borrowings or a combination thereof.

      (B) Basis of Presentation

      The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been prepared in
      accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles,  and the rules
      and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission for interim
      financial   information.   Accordingly,   they  do  not  include  all  the
      information  necessary  for  a  comprehensive  presentation  of  financial
      position and results of operations.

      It  is  management's  opinion,   however  that  all  material  adjustments
      (consisting  of normal  recurring  adjustments)  have been made  which are
      necessary for a fair financial  statements  presentation.  The results for
      the interim  period are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be
      expected for the year.

      In addition,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  do not include the
      statement of operations or cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
      1999 since the Company was inactive during this period.

      For further  information,  refer to the financial statements and footnotes
      included the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              AS OF MARCH 31, 2000

      (C)  Use of Estimates

      The  preparation of the financial  statements in conformity with generally
      accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date  of the
      financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
      during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
      estimates.


      (D)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

      For purposes of the  statement of cash flows,  the Company  considers  all
      highly liquid  investments  purchased  with an original  maturity of three
      months or less to be cash equivalents.

      (E)  Income Taxes

      The  Company  accounts  for income  taxes under the  Financial  Accounting
      Standards  Board  Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 109,
      "Accounting  for Income Taxes"  ("Statement  109").  Under  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 basis.  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.  There were no current or deferred income tax expenses
      or benefits due to the Company not having any material  operations for the
      three months ended March 31, 2000.

      (F)  Loss Per Share

      Net loss per common  share for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and
      for the period from  September 15, 1998  (inception)  to March 31, 2000 is
      computed  based upon the weighted  average  common shares  outstanding  as
      defined by Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128 "Earnings Per Share".
      There were no common stock equivalents outstanding at March 31, 2000.

      and relative rights as may be determined from time to time by the Board of

      909,200 and 109,200  shares to  Appletree  Investments  Company,  Ltd. and
      PageOne Business Productions, LLC, respectively.

      Management filed a restated certificate of incorporation with the State of
      Delaware  which  increased  the  number  of  authorized  common  shares to
      100,000,000,  increased  the  number  of  authorized  preferred  shares to
      8,000,000 and  decreased the par value of the common and preferred  shares
      to $.001 per share. The financial statements at March 31, 2000 give effect
      to common and  preferred  stock  amounts and par values  enumerated in the
      restated certificate of incorporation.

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN

      As reflected in the  accompanying  financial  statements,  the Company has
      accumulated losses of $9,263 since inception, a working capital deficiency
      of  $8,245  and  has  not  generated  any  revenues  since  it has not yet
      implemented its business plan. The ability of the Company to continue as a
      going  concern is dependent on the Company's  ability to raise  additional
      capital and implement its business plan.  The financial  statements do not
      include any  adjustments  that might be necessary if the Company is unable
      to continue as a growing concern.

      The Company  intends to implement its business plan and is seeking funding
      through the private placement of its equity or debt securities or may seek
      a  combination  with  another  company  already  engaged  in its  proposed
      business.  Management  believes that actions presently being taken provide
      the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
