Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
GrowthExperts Group Inc.
(formerly known as GrowthExperts.com Inc.)

We have audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of  GrowthExperts  Group Inc.
("the  Company") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related  statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on
a test basis,  evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements referred to above, present fairly, in
aFll material respects,  the financial  position of GrowthExperts  Group Inc. at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended,  in conformity with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

As  discussed  in  Note 2 to the  financial  statements,  the  Company  has  not
generated  operating  revenues  sufficient to cover operating  expenses,  has an
accumulated deficit of $3,031,888 and has a working capital deficit of $865,205.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going  concern.  Management's  plans in regards to these  matters  are also
described in Note 2. The  financial  statements  do not include any  adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As  discussed  in Note 12 to the  financial  statements,  the Company  closed an
amalgamation  with ASPi Europe,  Inc. on July 9, 2001. In connection  therewith,
ASPi  Europe,  Inc.  raised  $425,500 in gross  proceeds,  all of which has been
utilized by the Company.

NOTE 1:
Description of Business
and Summary of
Significant Accounting
Policies

                    Operations - GrowthExperts  Group Inc.  ("GrowthExperts"  or
                    the "Company") was  incorporated in the Province of Alberta,
                    Canada on June 12, 1998,  under the name of Welcome Web Inc.
                    On  July  17,  1999,   the  Company   changed  its  name  to
                    GrowthExperts.com,Inc.  and on March 21,  2001,  the name of
                    the  Company  was changed to  GrowthExperts  Group Inc.

                    The   Company  is  a   provider   of   outsourced   Customer
                    Relationship Management ("CRM") services. The Company offers
                    its clients  multi-channel  customer  interactive  solutions
                    that manage the relationship  between the Company's  clients
                    and their  customers.  The Company is  headquartered  in New
                    Westminster,  British Columbia, Canada and operates with two
                    customer interaction centers in Canada.

                    Accounting  Estimates - The Company's  financial  statements
                    are  prepared  in  conformity  with  accounting   principles
                    generally  accepted  in the United  States of America  which
                    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
                    revenue and expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual
                    results could differ from the estimates.

                    Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly
                    liquid  investments  purchased with an original  maturity of
                    three months or less to be cash  equivalents.  Cash and cash
                    equivalents  consist  primarily  of  deposits  at  federally
                    insured financial institutions.

                    Furniture and Equipment - Furniture and equipment are stated
                    at  cost.   Depreciation   and   amortization  are  computed
                    utilizing   straight-line   and  accelerated   methods  over
                    estimated  useful lives  ranging from 3 to 5 years.  Repairs
                    and  maintenance  are charged to expense as  incurred  while
                    additions and betterments are capitalized.

                    Long-Lived   Assets  -  In  accordance   with  Statement  of
                    Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
                    for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived
                    Assets to be Disposed  Of," the Company  records  impairment
                    losses on  long-lived  assets  used in  operations  whenever
                    events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
                    an asset may not be recoverable  based on undiscounted  cash
                    flows.  An  impairment  is recognized to the extent that the
                    sum of undiscounted  estimated future cash flows expected to
                    result  from use of the  assets  is less  than the  carrying
                    value.

================================================================================

NOTE 1:
Description of Business
and Summary of
Significant Accounting
Policies
(continued)

                    Foreign  Currency - The  financial  position  and results of
                    operations of the Company's  Canadian  business are measured
                    using local currency as the functional currency.  Assets and
                    liabilities  are  translated  into U.S.  dollars at year-end
                    rates of exchange,  and revenues and expenses are translated
                    at the  average  rates of  exchange  for the year.  Gains or
                    losses  resulting from the  translation of foreign  currency
                    financial statements are accumulated as a separate component
                    of stockholders' deficit.

                    Comprehensive  Operations - In February  1997, the Financial
                    Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued SFAS No. 130,
                    "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,"  which is effective  for
                    periods  beginning  after December 15, 1997.  This statement
                    requires  that all items that are required to be  recognized
                    under  accounting   standards  as  comprehensive  income  be
                    reported in a financial  statement  displayed  with the same
                    prominence as other  financial  statements.  The Company has
                    reported   foreign  currency   translation   adjustments  in
                    comprehensive operations.

                    Fair  Value  of  Financial   Instruments   -  The  Company's
                    financial  instruments include cash, accounts receivable and
                    notes  payable,  which due to the nature and duration of the
                    financial instruments, approximates their fair value.

                    Revenue  Recognition  - The Company  recognizes  revenues on
                    programs as services are performed, generally based on hours
                    incurred.

                    Stock-Based  Compensation  - SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting  for
                    Stock-based  Compensation,"  establishes a fair value method
                    of accounting  for  stock-based  compensation  plans and for
                    transactions  in which a company  acquires goods or services
                    from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments.  SFAS
                    123  also  gives  the  option  to  account  for  stock-based
                    employee   compensation   in  accordance   with   Accounting
                    Principles  Board Opinion  ("APB") No. 25,  "Accounting  for
                    Stock Issued to Employees," or SFAS 123. The Company elected
                    to  follow  APB 25  which  measures  compensation  cost  for
                    employee  stock  options as the excess,  if any, of the fair
                    market price of the Company's stock at the measurement  date
                    over  the  amount  an  employee  must  pay  to  acquire  the

                    Major Clients and Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company
                    is dependent on one large client for a  significant  portion
                    of revenues.  The loss of the client could have a materially
                    adverse  effect  on the  Company's  business.  The  revenues
                    derived from this client were $3,022,811 and $26,880, or 98%
                    and 49% of total year revenues for the years ended  December
                    31,  2000,  and 1999,  which  included  $286,186  and $6,746
                    recorded as accounts  receivable as of December 31, 2000 and
                    1999, respectively.

NOTE 1:
Description of Business
and Summary of
Significant Accounting
Policies

                    Income  Taxes - The  Company  uses the asset  and  liability
                    method of accounting  for income taxes.  Under the asset and
                    liability  method,  future tax assets  and  liabilities  are
                    recognized  for  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to
                    differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
                    of existing assets and liabilities and their  respective tax
                    bases.  Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using
                    enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply
                    to  taxable  income  in the years in which  those  temporary
                    differences  are expected to be  recovered  or settled.  The
                    effect on future tax assets and  liabilities  of a change in
                    tax  rates  is  recognized  to  income  in the  period  that
                    includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.  To
                    the extent that it is not  considered to be more likely than
                    not that a deferred tax asset will be realized,  a valuation
                    allowance is provided.

                    Net Loss Per  Share  -Basic  loss per share is  computed  by
                    dividing net loss by the weighted  average  number of common
                    shares  outstanding  during each  period.  Diluted  loss per
                    share  reflects the effect of common  shares  issuable  upon
                    exercise of stock options,  warrants and contingent  shares,
                    based on the treasury  method of computing such effects,  in
                    periods in which they have a dilutive effect. Because of net
                    losses  incurred by the Company in the periods  presented in
                    these financial statements,  the common shares issuable upon
                    exercise of stock options,  warrants and  contingent  shares
                    are not  included  in the  calculation  of loss per share as
                    their effect is anti-dilutive.

                    Recent  Accounting  Pronouncements  - In June 1998, the FASB
                    issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and
                    Hedging   Activities."   The   statement,   as  amended  and
                    liberalized   by  SFAS  138,   establishes   accounting  and
                    reporting   standards   requiring  that  certain  derivative
                    instruments  (including some types of derivative instruments
                    embedded  in other  contracts)  be  recorded  in the balance
                    sheet as either an asset or  liability  measured at its fair
                    value.  The Statement  requires that unless  specific  hedge
                    accounting   criteria  are  met,   special   accounting  for
                    qualifying hedges allows a derivative's  gains and losses to
                    offset  related  results  on the  hedged  item in the income
                    statement,   and  requires  that  a  company  must  formally
                    document,   designate  and  assess  the   effectiveness   of
                    transactions  that receive  hedge  accounting.  SFAS 133, as
                    amended by SFAS 137 defining SFAS 133's  effective  date, is
                    effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000,
                    and must be  applied to  instruments  issued,  acquired,  or
                    substantively modified after December 31, 1997.

NOTE 1:

(continued)

                    In March 2000, the FASB issued  Interpretation  No. 44 ("FIN
                    44"),  "Accounting for Certain Transactions  Involving Stock
                    Compensation,  an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25." FIN
                    44  clarifies  the  application  of APB  No.  25 for (a) the
                    definition  of employee for purposes of applying APB No. 25,
                    (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as
                    a non-compensatory plan, (c) the accounting  consequences of
                    various  modifications  to the terms of a  previously  fixed
                    stock  option  or  award,  and  (d)  the  accounting  for an
                    exchange  of  stock   compensation   awards  in  a  business
                    combination.  FIN 44 was effective July1,  2000, but certain
                    conclusions  cover  specific  events that occur after either
                    December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000.

                    The adoption of the above accounting  pronouncements did not
                    have  a  material  effect  or are  not  expected  to  have a
                    material  effect  on the  Company's  financial  position  or
                    results of operations.

NOTE 2:
Going Concern

                    The Company has not generated  operating revenues sufficient
                    to cover operating  expenses,  has an accumulated deficit of
                    $3,031,888,  has a working capital deficit of $865,205,  and
                    will  require  additional  working  capital to complete  its
                    business   development   activities  and  generate  revenues
                    adequate  to  cover   operating   and  further   development
                    expenses.  In  addition,  the  Company  relies  on a  single
                    customer to provide 98% of the Company's  operating  revenue
                    without the benefit of a formal  commitment to continue this
                    arrangement.  Accordingly,  there is substantial doubt about
                    the Company's  ability to continue as a going concern and no
                    adjustments  have been made to the financial  statements for
                    the outcome of these uncertainties.

                    The Company believes it can raise additional working capital
                    through  future  sales of its common  stock or  subordinated
                    debt in  private  placement  transactions.  This  additional
                    working  capital is expected to cover operating and overhead
                    expenses  until  such  time  as  the  Company  can  generate
                    sufficient revenues from operations.  However,  there can be
                    no  assurance  that the Company  will be  successful  in its
                    efforts to raise these funds or attain the operating  levels
                    necessary to fund its operating and overhead expenses.

NOTE 7:
Grant Reimbursements

                    The  Company  was  granted  financial  incentives  from  the
                    Canadian provincial governments of British Columbia totaling
                    $39,925 as of  December  31,  2000.  The  incentives  offset

                    with operating new customer  interaction  centers in Canada.
                    During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2000,  the  Company
                    recorded  $39,925  as  expense  reductions  related  to  the
                    grants.  As certain  grants  require the Company to maintain
                    achieved  employment  levels  over  a  defined  period,  the
                    Company's failure to maintain these levels could require the
                    Company to repay a portion of the grants for the  portion of
                    the employment targets not maintained.

                    directors, consultants and key employees. Under the terms of
                    the Plan,  the  Company is  authorized  to grant  options to
                    purchase up to 1,750,000 shares of common stock. The options
                    will vest  according to the  individual  option  grant,  and
                    expire ten years after the day of grant.

NOTE 11:
Income Taxes
(continued)

                    Deferred   income  taxes  reflect  the  net  tax  effect  of
                    temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and
                    liabilities for financial  reporting purposes and the amount
                    used for Canadian income tax purposes.

                    Significant  components of the Company's deferred tax assets
                    and liabilities are as follows:

                    The  100%  valuation  allowance  has been  recorded  against
                    deferred tax assets as management  has yet to establish that
                    recovery of these assets are more likely than not.

                    At December 31,  2000,  the Company has net  operating  loss
                    carry  forwards for  Canadian tax purposes of  approximately
                    $620,000 that expire as follows:

                    forwards   for  income  tax   purposes  may  be  limited  or

NOTE 12:
Subsequent Events

                    In February 2001, 429,375 outstanding options were exercised
                    by executives and employees at an aggregate  price of $84. A
                    further   20,000  and  456,896   outstanding   options  were
                    exercised by executives  and employees in March and May 2001
                    at an aggregate price of $133 and $6,509, respectively.

                    Pursuant to a letter of intent  entered  into by the Company
                    in April 2001 with ASPi Europe,  Inc. ("ASPi"),  the Company
                    has closed as of July 9, 2001 a  transaction  that  requires
                    ASPi to issue  approximately  9,750,000 shares of its common
                    stock in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding
                    shares  of  capital  stock of the  Company.  As part of this
                    transaction,  ASPi raised  $425,500 in gross proceeds at the
                    time of closing  with a  commitment  to raise an  additional
                    $750,000  within 90 days of closing or be subject to certain
                    penalties,   which  includes  the  obligation  to  issue  an
                    additional  750,000  shares  of ASPi's  common  stock to the
                    Company's shareholders. As a result of this transaction with
                    ASPi, the Company's  shareholders now control  approximately
                    51% of ASPi.

                    On June 30,  2001,  the  Company and key  executives  of the
                    Company,   entered  into  amended  and  restated  employment
                    agreements,  subject to the acquisition by ASPi  proceeding,
                    replacing the previous employment agreements. The agreements
                    run from month to month and may be  terminated  upon 30 days
                    notice.  The aggregate  obligation under these agreements is
                    $41,000 per month.

                    On June 30,  2001,  the  Company  entered  into  amended and
                    restated  option  agreements  with executives and employees,
                    subject to the acquisition by ASPi proceeding, replacing the
                    previous option  agreements.  The amended option  agreements
                    call for a 4.1275  reverse  split in the  number of  options
                    outstanding.
