NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Global  Sources  Limited  and  its   wholly-owned   subsidiaries   (the
"Company")  provide  strategic  staffing  solutions  in addition  to  marketing,
training and development programs, seminars, and employee benefits.

         The  Company  was  formerly  known as First  Sunrise,  Inc.,  a company
organized under the State of Delaware on April 28, 1997. First Sunrise, Inc. was
organized  as a vehicle  to acquire or merge  with a  business  or  company.  On
December 9, 1999, First Sunrise,  Inc. merged with Platinum Executive  Services,
Inc. For accounting purposes,  Platinum Executive Services,  Inc. was treated as
the acquirer and the  acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  On the same date,  the  merged  entity  changed  its name to Global
Sources Limited.

         The  Company  has  offices  in New York,  New  Jersey,  and the  United
Kingdom.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Global
Sources  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries   after  elimination  of  inter-company
transactions.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenue from  permanent  staffing is recognized  when the candidate has
been employed.  Executive search and consulting  assignments are primarily based
upon  retainer  agreements  which  provide  for  periodic  billings;  revenue is
recognized based upon the terms of the agreements.

PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT

         Property and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is computed
utilizing  the  straight-line  method over the useful  lives of the assets which
range from three to seven years.

INCOME TAXES

         The Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Statement
of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires the  recognition  of deferred tax  liabilities  and assets at currently
enacted tax rates for the expected  future tax  consequences of events that have
been included in the financial  statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance
is  recognized  to reduce the net  deferred  tax asset to an amount that is more
likely than not to be realized.  The tax  provisions  shown in the  accompanying
statements of operations  are zero since the deferred tax assets  generated from
the net operating losses are offset in their entirety by a valuation allowance.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Cash and cash  equivalents,  if any,  include  all highly  liquid  debt
instruments  with an original  maturity  of three  months or less at the date of
purchase.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                          Page 8

                     GLOBAL SOURCES LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

GOODWILL

         Goodwill is amortized utilizing the straight-line  method over a period
of 10 to 20 years.  The  Company  evaluates  the  carrying  value and periods of
amortization  of goodwill to  determine  whether  revised  estimates of carrying
value or useful lives are warranted.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         Cash and cash  equivalents  and trade accounts  receivable  potentially
subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company places its cash
and cash  equivalents  with high  credit  quality  financial  institutions.  The
Company believes its credit risk from accounts  receivable is limited due to the
relatively  large  number  of  customers.  Further,  the  Company  assesses  the
financial  strength  of its  customers  and  when  appropriate,  establishes  an
allowance for uncollectible accounts.

USE OF ESTIMATES

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  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 3 - DEBT

         The  Company   presently  has  two  loans  outstanding  from  financial
institutions totaling $375,000 plus accrued interest.

NOTE 4 - 401(K) PLAN

         A Company subsidiary has a defined  contribution 401(k) plan. Full time
employees  twenty  one  years  old with  one year of  service  are  eligible  to
participate  in the plan.  The plan allows the  employer  to make  discretionary
contributions  on behalf of its employees  which vest 20% per year for each year
of employee service. No discretionary  employer contributions have been declared

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         This  financial   review  should  be  read  in  conjunction   with  the
accompanying   consolidated   financial  statements  and  contains  management's
discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and liquidity.

         The  Company  at  present  provides  strategic  staffing  solutions  to
enterprises  in  addition  to  providing  marketing,  training  and  development
programs,  seminars,  and employee  benefits.  The Company was formerly known as
First Sunrise,  Inc., a company  organized  under the State of Delaware on April
28, 1997.  First  Sunrise,  Inc. was  organized as a vehicle to acquire or merge
with a business or company. On December 9, 1999, First Sunrise, Inc. merged with
Platinum Executive Services,  Inc. For accounting  purposes,  Platinum Executive
Services, Inc. was treated as the acquirer and the acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase  method of  accounting.  On the same date,  the merged entity
changed its name to Global Sources Limited.

         In July,  2000, the Company  acquired a company in the United  Kingdom.
During the third fiscal quarter 2001, management decided to focus on and growing
its  business  holdings  in the United  States  markets  and,  as a result,  the
operating assets of the company in the United Kingdom are being liquidated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The  Company  showed  a  significant  improvement  in  the  results  of
operations in the six months  ending  December 31, 2000. As a result of its cost
cutting efforts and the disposition of operations that were not  contributing to
gross profits, the Company showed improvements in both operations and cash flow.
The  improvement  in operations  was  attributable  to reduced costs , including
payroll and professional and administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         To date the Company  has funded its  liquidity  and  capital  resources
needs primarily through capital contributions from key executives,  supplemented
by  loans  and  the  sale of the  company's  capital  stock.  The  Company  sold
approximately  $975,000 of common stock in the private  placement market for the
six months ending  December 31, 2000. The Company  intends to secure  additional
capital through private placement of its securities and other financings to fund
itself and its acquisition  program.  There is no assurance that such funds will
be available on terms or in quantity acceptable to the Company.

         The  Company  plans  to  purchase  additional  companies  that  have  a
strategic  fit with  the  Company's  goal of  becoming  a  premier  provider  of
strategic  solutions in the human resources  fields.  Acquisitions  will be made
primarily  through the issuance of common and  preferred  stock.  It is intended
that  future  acquisitions  will  not be  with  development  stage  or  start-up
companies in order to maximize cash flows to the Company.
