F-5 XIN NET CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2003 ( Unaudited ) 3. Investment in The Link Group, Inc. ("Link") Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated December 20, 2001, the Company paid $200,000 cash for 3,882,700 shares of The Link Group, Inc. ("Link"). Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated January 18, 2002, the Company paid $600,300 in a private placement of Link for 14,500,000 (pre-reverse one for four split) common shares at $0.0414 per share, as well as 10,875,000 special warrants convertible into 10,875,000 post-reverse one for four split common shares on or before January 31, 2004 at no additional consideration. The Company exercised the 10,875,000 special warrants on March 12, 2002. An option to purchase an additional 7,500,000 post-reverse one for four split common shares at $0.04 per share, or $300,000, until February 15, 2002, was also granted to the Company, which was not exercised. By an agreement dated January 21, 2002, Link agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Protectserve Pacific Ltd. ("PSP") through the issuance of 37,500,000 (post-reverse one for four split) common shares. Link has the right to buy back its shares at $0.001 per share from these individuals if PSP's after tax profit is less than Hong Kong $9 million dollars ("HKD") for the twelve months ending December 31, 2002. The buy back formula is for every HKD $333,333 that PSP falls short of the HKD $9 million after tax profit, Link can buy back one million (post-reverse one for four split) common shares from these individuals. On February 18, 2002, the shareholders of Link approved the reverse split of the issued and outstanding common shares of Link at the ratio of one for four, thereby making the Company's total Link shares held equal to 15,370,675 shares, representing 28.8% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Link. On October 14, 2002, Link cancelled 8,300,000 outstanding common shares as part of the consideration of the disposition of its subsidiary company and thereafter the Company's holding in Link correspondingly increases to 34.1%. On March 21, 2003, Link issued 17,500,000 common shares and cancelled 14,000,000 common shares and thereafter the Company's holding in Link correspondingly changes to 32.32%. The Company accounted for its investment in Link on the equity basis, which is carried at cost, adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses as follow at March 31, 2003: Original cost of 15,370,675 shares of The Link Group, Inc. $ 800,300 Equity in undistributed earnings of investee company (507,096) ------------------- Investment - at equity $ 293,204 =================== F-6 XIN NET CORP.

Assets Held For Sale On February 26, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the internet-related services provided in China to a subsidiary company of Sino-i.com Ltd., a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for a total consideration of RMB 20 million (approximately US$2,500,000). The transaction is subject to the approval of shareholders. The Company has received RMB 3,000,000 (approximately US$362,430) as a security deposit for the transaction on January 25, 2003. The decision to sell was due to the lack of funding and high competition in the market.

F-10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The information presented here should be read in conjunction with Xin Net Corp.'s consolidated financial statements and related notes. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this document contain certain forward-looking information. When used in this discussion, the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected due to a number of factors beyond the Company's control. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise any of its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes show that the indicated results or events will not be realized. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the Company's discussions regarding the various factors, which affect its business, included in this section and elsewhere in this report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD IN 2002. The Company had $65,350 in revenue in the period in 2003 from educational services, which division it acquired in early 2003. The Company discontinued operations in China for its domain name registration service within its Infonet subsidiary, since it has been sold, and results of 2002 revenues (now discontinued) for the period have been omitted. The Company incurred expenses in the quarter totalling $125,523 in 2003 compared to $64,234 in 2002. These expenses were those of the registrant (in 2002), not of the discontinued operations in China. The largest components of expenses were consulting and professional of $20,930 in 2003 and $34,768 in 2002, wages, salaries, and benefits of $52,919 in 2003 compared to $6,901 in 2002, general and administrative of $12,174 in 2003 and $18,921 in 2002, rent of $18,549 in 2003 and $2,525 in 2002, foreign exchange loss of $9,641 in 2003 and $565 in 2002, and depreciation of $1,548 in 2003 and $554 in 2002. The Company had other income of $5,995 in the period in 2003 compared to none in 2002. The Company had a loss of ($26,396) in 2003 and a gain of $24,352 in 2002 for equity income (loss) in undistributed earnings of investee company. The loss from continuing operations was ($80,570) in 2003 in the period compared to ($39,245) in 2002. The loss from discontinued operations was ($233,018) in the period in 2003 and ($69,286) in 2002. Total net loss was ($313,588) in the quarter in 2003 compared to ($108,531) in the same quarter in 2002. The loss per share was nominal in 2003 and 2002 on continuing operations. The loss per share was ($.01) in 2003 and 2002 in the quarter, on discontinued operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company had net cash, accrued interest, receivables and investments of $1,274,108 at March 31, 2003. The Company has no other capital resources other than the ability to use its common stock to achieve additional capital raising. It did not raise any additional capital during the first quarter of 2003. It has equipment of $11,036 on the books, which is not necessarily liquid at such value. It has an investment in The Link Group, Inc. valued at $293,204. Other than cash capital, its other assets would be illiquid. At the end of the quarter, it had $4,716,178 in current assets, of which $2,696,501 represented "Assets to be disposed of," and current liabilities of $4,281,119, primarily consisting of "Liabilities to be disposed of," ($3,706,778) and a security deposit ($362,430) received from Sino-i.com, Ltd. in connection with the sale of its Internet Access Provision business in February 2003. Current assets also included "Net assets of Discontinued Operations," representing net assets disposed of in the sale of its ISP operations in the PRC in per an agreement dated June 22, 2001. (The Company is experiencing some delays in obtaining new funding; it plans to close the sale of its Internet Access Provision services when this issue is resolved). Changes in Financial Condition: The cash capital at the end of the quarter of $1,274,108 will be used to fund continued operations, which management believes is adequate to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. The trend of operating losses could continue due to costs of equipment, design of new value-added services, start up operations for new locations and advertising & marketing which precede development of additional revenue for the Company. Net cash flows used in operating activities decreased to $485,833 in the first quarter in 2003 from ($173,097) in the corresponding quarter in 2002. Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased to ($17,998) in first quarter 2003 as compared ($288,534) in the first quarter of 2002. Net cash flow used in financing activities was $0 in first quarter of 2003 compared to ($15,056) in first quarter 2002. The positive changes resulted from the sale of its operations in China and the achievement of a private placement of stock for $1,000,000 in late 2002. Need for Additional Financing: The Company believes it has sufficient capital to meet its short-term cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. But if losses continue it may have to seek loans or equity placements to cover longer term cash needs to continue operations and expansion. No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover operations expenses. If future revenue declines, or operations are unprofitable, it will be forced to develop another line of business, or to finance its operations through the sale of assets it has, or enter into the sale of stock for additional capital, none of which may be feasible when needed. The Company has no specific management ability, nor financial resources or plans to enter any other business as of this date. From the aspect of whether it can continue toward the business goal of maintaining and expanding the joint venture for internet services in China, it may use all of its available capital without generating a profit. The effects of inflation have not had a material impact on its operation, nor is it expected to in the immediate future. Although the Company is unaware of any major seasonal aspect that would have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operation, the first quarter of each fiscal year is always a financial concern. It is not uncommon for companies to shut down their operation or operate on a skeletal crew during the Chinese New Year holiday. Therefore in effect, the first quarter really has only two months for generating revenue, as it relates to the results of operations for the internet-related services provided in China, and shown in the statement of operations in the caption "loss from discontinued operations." Market Risk: The Company's investments in The Link Group, Inc. will be subject to market volatility. It does not hold any derivatives or other investments that are subject to market risk. The carrying values of any financial instruments, approximate fair value as of those dates because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments which eliminates any potential market risk associated with such instruments. Future Trends: The Company will continue its cost-saving measures and ongoing efforts to increase revenues in order to achieve profitability. However the Company cannot assure that any profit on revenues can occur in the future. It may have to continue to advertise and promote its business. Operating losses may continue. If the Company acquires additional capital, for example through sale of stock in private placements or through investors exercising warrants, it may be able to advertise and promote its services more aggressively and expand its business more rapidly.
