1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Development Stage Operations

    Providence Capital III, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) (the Company)
was incorporated on November 24, 1999, in the State of Colorado.  The Company
is in the development stage and its intent is to operate as a capital market
access corporation and to acquire one or more existing businesses through merger
or acquisition.  The Company has had no significant business activity to date.
The Company has selected the calendar year as its fiscal year.  Costs
associated with organization have been expensed in accordance with SOP 98-5.

Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation".  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable.

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
those estimates.

2.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

June 30, 2001

=====================================
SIX MONTHS ENDING JUNE 30, 2001
=====================================

The following information should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial information and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this
Quarterly Report.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of"
("SFAS 121") issued by the FASB, is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The standard establishes new
guidelines regarding when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which
include plant and equipment, certain identifiable intangible assets, and
goodwill, should be recognized and how impairment losses should be measured.

The Company does not expect adoption to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") issued by the FASB, is effective for
specific transactions entered into after December 15, 1995. The disclosure
requirements of SFAS 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning no later than December 15, 1995. The new standard established
a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and for
transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees
in exchange for equity instruments. The Company does not expect adoption to
have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

General

     The Registrant intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity
actively engaged in business which generates revenues, in exchange for its
securities.  The Registrant has no particular acquisitions in mind and has not
entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition.  None of the
Company's officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any
preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other
company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the
Company and such other company as of the date of this quarterly report.

     While the Company will attempt to obtain audited financial statements of
a target entity, there is no assurance that such audited financial statements
will be available.  The Board of Directors does intend to obtain certain
assurances of value of the target entity's assets prior to consummating such a
transaction, with further assurances that an audited statement would be
provided within seventy-five days after closing of such a transaction.
Closing documents relative thereto will include representations that the value
of the assets conveyed to or otherwise so transferred will not materially
differ from the representations included in such closing documents.

     The Company has filed a registration statement on a voluntary basis
because the primary attraction of the Registrant as a merger partner or
acquisition vehicle will be its status as an SEC reporting company.  Any
business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant
issuance of shares and substantial dilution to present stockholders of the
Registrant.

     The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to
provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or
other assets.  However, management believes the Company will be able to offer
owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling
ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost
and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the
business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting
costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including
the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's or 10-KSB's, agreements and related
reports and documents. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act"),
specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all
applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial
statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying
with the 34 Act.  Nevertheless, the officers and directors of the Company have
not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data which
would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction
for the owners of a business opportunity.

     As stated hereinabove, the Company will not acquire or merge with any
entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements within a
reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.  The
Company is subject to all of the reporting requirements included in the 34
Act.  Included in these requirements is the affirmative duty of the Company to
file independent audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a
merger or acquisition, as well as the Company's audited financial statements

<PAGE> 10

included in its annual report on Form 10-K (or 10-KSB, as applicable).  If
such audited financial statements are not available at closing, or within time
parameters necessary to insure the Company's compliance with the requirements
of the 34 Act, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform
to the representations made by the candidate to be acquired in the closing
documents, the closing documents may provide that the proposed transaction
will be voidable, at the discretion of the present management of the Company.

     The Company's officers and shareholders have verbally agreed that they
will advance to the Company any additional funds which the Company needs for
operating capital and for costs in connection with searching for or completing
an acquisition or merger.  These persons have further agreed that such
advances will be made in proportion to each person's percentage ownership of
the Company.  These persons have also agreed that such advances will be made
interest free without expectation of repayment unless the owners of the
business which the Company acquires or merges with agree to repay all or a
portion of such advances.  Such repayment will in no way be a condition to the
selection of a target company.  There is no dollar cap on the amount of money
which such persons will advance to the Company.  The Company will not borrow
any funds from anyone other than its current shareholders for the purpose of
repaying advances made by the shareholders, and the Company will not borrow
any funds to make any payments to the Company's promoters, management or their
affiliates or associates.

     The Balance Sheet as of 06/30/2001 reflects $0.00 assets and no entry
of organizational costs in accordance with SOP 98-5.  The Statement
of Operations has been revised to update cumulative amounts, while conforming
changes have been made to the Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.

     As of the date of this report, the Company has no assets and a Deficit
accumulated during the development stage of $26,135. The Company has also
incurred a net loss to date of $26,135.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company remains in the development stage and, since inception,
has experienced no significant change in liquidity or capital resources or
stockholder's equity.  The Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2001,
reflects a total asset value of $0.00.  The Company has no cash or line of
credit, nor does it expect to have one before a merger is effected.

     The Company will carry out its plan of business as discussed
above.  The Company cannot predict to what extent its liquidity and
capital resources will be diminished prior to the consummation of a
business combination or whether its capital will be further depleted by
the operating losses (if any) of the business entity which the Company
may eventually acquire.

Results of Operations

     During the period from January 1, 2001 through June 30, 2001, the
Company has engaged in no significant operations other than organizational
activities, acquisition of capital and preparation for registration of its
securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  No
revenues were received by the Company during this period.

<PAGE>  11

     For the current fiscal year, the Company anticipates incurring
a loss as a result of organizational expenses, expenses associated with
registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and expenses
associated with locating and evaluating acquisition candidates.  The
Company anticipates that until a business combination is completed
with an acquisition candidate, it will not generate revenues other than
interest income, and may continue to operate at a loss after completing
a business combination, depending upon the performance of the
acquired business.

Need for Additional Financing

     The Company believes that its existing capital will be sufficient to
meet the Company's cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the
continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, for a period of approximately one year.  Accordingly, in the
event the Company is able to complete a business combination during this
period, it anticipates that its existing capital will be sufficient to allow
it to accomplish the goal of completing a business combination.  There is no
assurance, however, that the available funds will ultimately prove to be
adequate to allow it to complete a business combination, and once a business
combination is completed, the Company's needs for additional financing are
likely to increase substantially.
