SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General ------- The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2003 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC Form 10-KSB. Business and Basis of Presentation -------------------------------------- The Jackson Rivers Company (the "Company") was incorporated on May 8, 2001 under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company does not presently conduct business operations and is in the process of raising capital and financing for its future operations. The Company is in the development stage, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 ("SFAS No. 7"). To date, the Company has generated no sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception through June 30, 2004, the Company has accumulated losses of $2,545,315. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jackson Rivers Technologies, Inc. and JRC Global Products, Inc. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Stock Based Compensation ------------------------ In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123." This statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option. The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended December 31, 2003 and will adopt the interim disclosure provisions for its financial reports for the subsequent periods. The Company has no awards of stock-based employee compensation outstanding at June 30, 2004. 2 THE JACKSON RIVERS COMPANY (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reclassification ---------------- Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to prior periods' data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses. NOTE B - CAPITAL STOCK The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $.001 per share. As of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company has 99,982,750 and 39,432,750 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In June 2001, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock to founders in exchange for $15,000 of cash, net of costs and fees. On February 8, 2002, the Company's registration statement became effective. The statement provided for the utilization of an escrow agent for the proceeds of an offering of common stock, pending the sale of the minimum number of shares (15,000,000). However, the bank which the Company believed had committed to serve as escrow agent eventually declined to serve due to the small size of the offering. The Company revised the subscription agreement, accepted subscriptions made payable to the Company (instead of the escrow agent), and deposited subscription funds received into the Company's operating account. The Company then issued shares of stock to subscribers prior to receiving subscriptions for the stated minimum of 15,000,000 shares. Management corrected the subscription acceptance errors by closing the offering and extending a rescission offer to all investors. A total of three investors accepted the rescission offer; the investors' shares certificates were returned to the Company and cancelled, and a total of $2,500 was refunded to the investors (representing a total of 62,500 shares of common stock). As of December 31, 2002, the rescission offer had expired according to its express terms and no further requests will be honored. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company received a total of $80,750 in deposits on thirty-seven subscription agreements for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,018,750 shares of common stock at $0.04 per share. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had received payment in full and had issued the shares related to these subscriptions. In September 2002, the Company issued an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common stock to sophisticated investors for $10,000 of cash, net of costs and fees. In September 2002, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock to consultants in exchange for $50,000 of services rendered, which approximated the fair value of the shares issued during the period the services were rendered. In November 2002, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,926,500 shares of common stock to consultants in exchange for $58,530 of services rendered, which approximated the fair value of the shares issued during the period the services were rendered. In June 2003, the former majority shareholder sold his 10,000,000 shares of common stock to twelve investors in a private sale. As a result of this change in ownership, a change in control was deemed to have occurred. The new shareholder, an individual, was elected president of the Company and the former majority shareholder resigned from the Company's board of directors. 3 THE JACKSON RIVERS COMPANY (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) NOTE B - CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED) In August 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to consultants in exchange for $90,000 of services rendered, which approximated the fair value of the shares issued during the period the services were rendered.

The Company received $653,072 of proceeds, net of costs and fees, and compensation expense of $261,928 were charged to operations during the period ended June 30, 2004. NOTE C - EMPLOYEE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN In August 2003, the Company established the 2003 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to provide officers and employees, who make significant contributions to the long-term growth and performance of the Company, with equity-based compensation incentives, and to attract and retain quality employees. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be awarded or issued under the Plan is 17,000,000. The Plan will be administered by a Compensation Committee (the "Committee") appointed by the board of directors of the Company. In January 2004, Company established the 2004 Employee Stock Incentive Plan and the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be awarded or issued under the 2004 Plan is 50,000,000. The stock option plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options at an exercise price approximating 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of exercise (or 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant of the option, in the case of significant stockholders). The maximum life of the options is ten years. During the period ended June 30, 2004, an aggregate of 46,500,000 options were granted and all options were exercised on the grant date. There are no stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2004. 5 NOTE D - ACQUISITION AND RESCISSION OF ACQUISITION AGREEMENT In February 2004, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Jackson Rivers Technologies, Inc., ("JRT") entered into an LLC Interest Purchase Agreement with Multitrade Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MTT") pursuant to which JRT purchased all of the assets of MTT which were related to MTT's business of software development and the licensing to sell the software (the "Acquisition"). MTT has no significant assets and the total consideration to be paid by the Company in connection with the Acquisition consisted of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock valued at $1,000,000. During the three- month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company has accounted the shares to be issued as common stock subscription payable and acquisition costs of $1,000,000 were charged to operations. In connection with the Agreement to acquire MTT, the Company was also obligated to issue 80,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock to the Company's President once such shares become available after the Company increases its authorized shares. In June 2004, the Company and JRT rescinded the Acquisition and entered into a Technology License Agreement ("Agreement") with MTT, whereby the Company has the exclusive, worldwide sublicense to commercialize certain software technologies from MTT. The Company and JRT also rescinded the previous arrangement in connection with the Acquisition of issuing 80,000,000 shares of its common stock to the Company's President. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will make a one-time cash payment to MTT in the amount of $200,000 and a one-time cash payment of $50,000 to the Company's President. As of June 30, 2004, the Company charged the $250,000 of fees to operations. The fees are unpaid and are included in accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2004. In connection with the Agreement, the Company is also obligated to pay to MTT $20,000 per month of royalty and sales support fees during the first year of the Agreement. Unpaid royalty and sales support fees at June 30, 2004 included in accrued liabilities were $35,000. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.

MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION We were originally organized to provide short-term loans to consumers wishing to finance funeral arrangements for their deceased loved ones, while payment of benefits from insurance companies on the lives of the deceased were pending. Due to a change in control of our company and because of the difficulty in securing a line of credit or other sources of funding to establish a loan portfolio large enough to support our operations and return a profit, we abandoned our plans to pursue short-term financing of funeral arrangements. We have now entered the business of providing customized information management systems. On June 23, 2004, we entered into a Technology License Agreement with Multitrade Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MTT"), effective February 24, 2004, whereby we now have the exclusive, worldwide sublicense to commercialize products using the STEPS(C) platform from MTT. STEPS(C) (Straight Through Enterprise Processing Systems) is a proprietary Java-based platform, built on patented technology, used to create customized business management applications and information management systems. The sublicensing of the software technologies from MTT will allow us to develop the licensed product and expand our customer base and operations. We expect to provide innovative solutions for integrating financial and customer information, managing manufacturing processes, reducing inventory and standardizing human resource information. We plan to market our business management software development platform throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada by utilizing various business software developers, solutions providers and system integrators. Our clients, the solutions providers, are expected to develop customized business applications, using the STEPS platform, for their clients in less time and with fewer programming, database management, and development resources. We hope to expand our client base and win market share by offering established experts in the various business functions such as supply-chain management and customer relations management to bundle their expertise with our development platform to deliver highly effective business management applications. Our technology subsidiary, Jackson Rivers Technologies (JRT), plans to introduce its STEPS(TM) ERP software solution to United States and Canadian markets. We have identified a highly focused market niche for our initial STEPS roll-out, secured a strong intellectual property position, and retained an international marketing firm to define the STEPS solution and create industry awareness. Because we lack capital, an investment in us involves a very high degree of risk. To date, the Company has generated no sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained losses. We believe we will begin earning revenues from operations in the last six months of our current fiscal year , as the Company transitions from a development stage company to that of an active growth and acquisition stage company. THREE AND SIX MONTHS COSTS AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS As of the date of this report, our subsidiary, JRT, has engaged in business activities which we expect will provide cash flow in the third quarter of 2004. However, as of June 30, 2004,, no revenues have been recorded from JRT's operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we incurred an operating income of $12,018 and operating loss of $1,728,037, respectively, and generated no revenues. The loss consists of sales, marketing, general, and administrative expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we incurred selling, general, 7 and administrative expenses of $737,455. However, in connection with the rescission of acquisition of MTT in June 2004, we reversed $1,000,000 of acquisition costs recorded in the first quarter 2004, and instead recognized $250,000 of license fees pursuant to our new agreement with MTT. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 2004, our current liabilities exceeded current assets in the amount of $288,702. We generated a cash flow deficit from operations of $669,632 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Cash flow deficits from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily attributable to our net loss from operations of $1,728,037 adjusted primarily for $729,578 of common stock issued to consultants and employees in exchange for compensation, and approximately $320,000 of increase in accounts payable and liabilities. Cash flow provided from financing activities was $706,199 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This was mainly from proceeds of sales of common stock, net of costs and fees during this period. All proceeds were used for working capital. As discussed by our accountants in the audited financial statements included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, our revenue is currently insufficient to cover our costs and expenses We anticipate raising any necessary capital from outside investors coupled with bank or mezzanine lenders. As of the date of this report, we have not entered into any negotiations with any third parties to provide such capital. While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development. By adjusting our operations and development to the level of capitalization, we believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits through the next 12 months. However, if thereafter we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. We will continue to evaluate opportunities for corporate development. Subject to our ability to obtain adequate financing at the applicable time, we may enter into definitive agreements on one or more of those opportunities. Our independent certified public accountants have stated in their report included in our December 31, 2003 Form 10-KSB, that we have incurred operating losses in the last two years, and that we are dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. These factors among others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On February 24, 2004, as previously reported by us, we entered into an Amended LLC Interest Purchase Agreement with Multitrade Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MTT") and Joseph Khan, the sole owner of MTT. On June 23, 2004, we announced that our board of directors formally rescinded the previously announced Amended LLC Interest Purchase Agreement with MTT and Joseph Khan, dated February 24, 2004. The rescission was the result of our board's decision that the LLC interest purchase transaction, as originally planned, was not in the best interests of our shareholders. In lieu of purchasing the LLC interest from MTT, we and Jackson Rivers Technologies, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary ("JRT"), entered into a Technology License Agreement with MTT, effective February 24, 2004, whereby we now have the exclusive, worldwide sublicense to commercialize certain software technologies from MTT. MTT is currently licensing the software technologies which are the subject of the Technology License Agreement from Kisnet Corporation. 8 On June 23, 2004, our board of directors also formally rescinded its previously announced plans to issue 80,000,000 shares of our common stock to Dennis N. Lauzon in exchange for the contribution by Mr. Lauzon of all of the issued and outstanding shares in JRC Global Products, Inc., and JRT, owned by him. We will still accept the contribution of all of Mr. Lauzon's issued and outstanding shares in JRC Global Products, Inc. and JRT, but no shares of our stock will be issued to Mr. Lauzon in consideration for such contribution. Instead, we will pay Mr. Lauzon a one-time cash payment of $50,000. This payment will represent his contribution of his personally owned shares in JRT and JRC Global Products and for his negotiating services for the Technology License Agreement between MTT, JRT, and Jackson Rivers Company. The consideration for the rights granted by MTT to us and JRT under the Technology License Agreement will be paid in the form of a one-time non-refundable cash payment in the amount of $200,000.00 to be delivered by us to MTT. In addition, we will pay to MTT the fees as set forth in Section VIII of the Kisnet-MTT Exclusive Distribution Agreement for STEPS(C), attached to the Technology License Agreement, which is an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. The initial term of the Technology License Agreement shall be one year from the Effective Date of February 24, 2004. Thereafter the Technology License Agreement will automatically renew each year for a total term of five years unless terminated as specified in the Termination section XI of the Kisnet-MTT Exclusive Distribution agreement for STEPS(C). Following the closing of the LLC interest purchase transaction, our president, Dennis N. Lauzon, was elected as the chairman of the board of Jackson Rivers Technologies, responsible for sales and marketing, and Mr. Khan was elected president and chief executive officer, responsible for product delivery and strategic alliances. On July 20, 2004, JRC announced new developments relating to Jackson Rivers Technologies (JRT) to relay to the public that JRT will initially market its open-architecture STEPS ERP solution to small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Logistics, Distribution and Supply-Chain Management sector in the United States and Canada. JRT is now moving to finalize the functional specification for this application and recruit additional domain expertise. As reported in previous public announcements, a STEPS ERP solution has already successfully penetrated the distribution/logistics sector in the Latin American market. Also announced on July 20, in order to provide strategic product positioning and market awareness, we have retained McQuerter, Inc., a San Diego-based international marketing firm that specializes in introducing innovative technology platforms to business-to-consumer and business-to-business enterprises. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
