Independent Accountants' Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Capital Holdings, Inc.
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Capital
Holdings, Inc. as of August 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2004 and 2003,
and statement of changes in shareholders' equity from June 1, 2003 through
August 31, 2004, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and
Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the
representation of the management of American Capital Holdings, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
American Capital Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State
of Florida on January 27, 1999 as U S Amateur Sports Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of eCom eCom.com, Inc.("eCom") which trades on the OTC/Bulletin
Board under the symbol 'ECEC.' On March 19, 2003, the Company changed its name
to USA SportsNet Company, and on December 12, 2003 changed its name to American
Capital Holdings, Inc. in connection with its spin off by eCom and its
acquisition of certain assets of a company formerly known as American Capital
Holdings, Inc. (now known as ACHI, Inc.) The Company's main office is located
at 100 Village Square Crossing, Suite 202, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410,
and the telephone number is (561) 207-6395.
IS Direct Agency, Inc. ("ISDA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company was
incorporated in the State of Florida on May 20, 2004. On May 21, 2004 ISDA
acquired the assets of IS Direct Agency, Inc., a New York Corporation. ISDA
provides internet based term life insurance quotes.
While a wholly owned subsidiary of eCom, the Company developed an e-commerce
Internet infrastructure. This product provided an affordable, user-friendly
technological platform and professional resources to facilitate web business
development. It also operated an on-line business as a test model using
Company developed e-commerce concepts to sell sports products.
The Spin-Off. The Company was one of ten wholly owned subsidiaries of eCom,
with varying business plans. In recent years, eCom concluded that it did not
have the financial resources necessary to develop all of its ten business units
collectively. eCom decided to spin off its subsidiaries into independent
companies in the belief that independent companies, e with a distinct
business, would be better able to obtain necessary funding and develop their
business plans. This belief was based in part on eCom's experience with
potential business partners which sought involvement with only one of eCom's
subsidiaries, rather than involvement with the multi-faceted eCom.
On December 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin-off of
the Company. They voted to issue to the shareholders of eCom one share of the
Company for every one share of eCom owned as of the record date of January 5,
2004. Fractional shares will be purchased by the Company. No payment was
required of the eCom shareholders.
Acquisition from American Capital Holdings. After the spin off of the Company
was completed, the Company was presented with an opportunity to acquire certain
assets of American Capital Holdings, Inc. (now known as, and referred to
hereafter as ACHI). On January 12, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement with ACHI whereby the Company acquired certain assets, and
assume certain liabilities of ACHI in return for the issuance of common stock of
the Company in an amount equal to 84.1% of the total ownership of the Company.
In order to accomplish this transaction, the Company effected a 20 to 1 reverse
stock split, which reduced its outstanding stock to 2,497,756 shares, and agreed

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
to issue to ACHI 49,955,112 shares. ACHI agreed to accept the issuance of
13,561,804 shares at closing, and assigned its right to receive the 13,561,804
shares to its principle, Barney A. Richmond, now the President of the Company.
The remaining 36,393,308 shares were reserved for issuance by the Company in
connection with future acquisitions and financings. The Company then changed
its name to American Capital Holdings, Inc., and ACHI changed its name to ACHI,
Inc. Of the 36,393,308 shares reserved for future issuance, 2,162,099 shares
have now been issued to the shareholders of Spaulding Ventures, LLC, in
replacement of shares of ACHI to be issued to Spaulding in connection with a
prior acquisition of assets by ACHI from Spaulding.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation, Use of Estimates
The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual basis of accounting. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue and dividends from investments are recognized at the time the investment
dividends are declared payable by the underlying investment. Capital gains and
losses are recorded on the date of sale of the investment.
Cash
Cash consists of deposits in banks and other financial institutions having
original maturities of less than ninety days.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
It is the policy of management to review the outstanding accounts receivable
at year end, as well as the bad debt write-offs experienced in the past, and
establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts.
Depreciation
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method.
Amortization
The accounting for a recognized intangible asset acquired after June 30, 2001
is based on its useful life to the Company. If an intangible asset has a
finite life, but the precise length of that life is not known, that intangible
asset shall be amortized over management's best estimate of its useful life.

AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized. The useful
life to an entity is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute
directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that entity.
Investments
Investments are stated at the lower of cost and market value.
NOTE C - NOTES RECEIVABLE
Notes Receivable at August 31, 2004 consist of the following:
An 8% non-collateralized note that matures in December 2004,
interest is payable quarterly. Included in the balance is
$13,971 of accrued interest receivable. $113,971
A 4% non-collateralized note due on demand. Included in
the balance is $2,241 of accrued interest receivable. 27,241
----------
Total Notes Receivable $141,212
==========
Management has made a determination that all of the notes receivable are
collectable and therefore, has not established an allowance for doubtful
accounts.
NOTE D - LOANS RECEIVABLE RELATED PARTIES
The three loans receivable from related corporate entities are non-
collateralized, non-interest bearing and are due on demand. As of August 31,
2004, eCom, a related party, owed American Capital $65,016. As of November 29,
2004, eCom has been adjudicated as a Chapter 11 Debtor in the involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings of the United States Bankruptcy Court - Southern District
of Florida (In Re: Case No. 04-34535 BKC-SHF). Pending bankruptcy court
approval of eCom's Reorganization Plan, which is expected in due course, there
should not be a material affect on the financial condition of American Capital.
The loans due as of August 31, 2004 are as follows:
A Super Deal.com, Inc $ 10,000
Swap and Shop.net Corp. 10,000

Company's net operating loss carry-forward as of August 31, 2004 totals
approximately $753,600. These carry-forwards, which will be available to
offset future taxable income, expire beginning in May 31, 2024.
The Company does not believe that the realization of the related net
deferred tax asset meets the criteria required by generally accepted
16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
NOTE M - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
accounting principles and, accordingly, the deferred income tax asset arising
from such loss carry forward has been fully reserved.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FASB 109). Under FASB 109, income taxes are
provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial
statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to
certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and
income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent
the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be
taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses and tax credits that
are available to offset future taxable income and income taxes, respectively.
A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
NOTE N STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
To facilitate the purchase of the assets of ACHI, the Company recorded a one
for twenty reverse split on the Effective Date of the currently outstanding
common stock, while maintaining the conversion and exercise prices of the
Senior Notes, the Secured Notes, the Subordinated Notes and the related
warrants. All prior period share and per-share amounts have been restated to
account for the reverse split. Any fractional shares remaining after the
reverse split will be paid out in cash to the shareholder on the Effective
Date.
Warrants were granted to Promissory Noteholders with detachable warrants.
Management has determined that the fair value of each warrant is $0.01.
The computation of diluted loss per share before extraordinary item for the
three months ended August 31, 2004 does not include shares from potentially
dilutive securities as the assumption of conversion or exercise of these would
have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share before extraordinary items. In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, diluted loss per share
from extraordinary item is calculated using the same number of potential common
shares as used in the computation of loss per share before extraordinary items.
NOTE O - DEFERRED TAX ASSET
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the
financial reporting and income tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities. Temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards
and valuation allowances comprising the net deferred taxes on the balance

NOTE Q - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations with
an effective date for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. The statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations related with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the costs associated with asset retirement. The statement requires
the recognition of retirement obligations which will, therefore, generally
increase liabilities; retirement costs will be added to the carrying value of

NOTE Q - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
long-lived assets, therefore, assets will be increased; and depreciation and
accretion expense will be higher in the later years of an assets life than in
earlier years. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 at January 1, 2002. The
adoption of SFAS No. 143 had no impact on the Company's operating results or
financial positions.
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets and is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002. This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or the disposal of long-lived
asset. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-
lived group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flow expected to result
from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. Long-lived assets
should be tested at least annually or whenever changes in circumstances
indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. This statement
does not apply to goodwill and intangible assets that are not amortized.
The Company adapted SFAS No. 144 in the first quarter of 2002. The adoption
of SFAS No. 144 had no impact on the Company's operating results or
financial position.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of the FASB Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections"("SFAS No. 145"). SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement to
classify gains and losses from the extinguishment of indebtedness as
extraordinary, requires certain lease modifications to be treated the same as a
sale-leaseback transaction, and makes other non-substantive technical
corrections to existing pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS No. 145 was adopted on June 1, 2003
and did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" and is effective for
financial instruments entered into after May 31, 2003. This Statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its
statement of financial position certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer
classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability because
that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. The Company
has adopted SFAS No. 150 and the adoption has had no impact on the Company's
operating results or financial position.
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 will continue to
be amortized and tested for impairment in accordance with pre- SFAS No. 142
requirements until adoption of SFAS No. 142. Under the provision of SFAS
19
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE Q - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
No.142, intangible assets with definite useful lives will be amortized to their
estimated residual values over those estimated useful lives in proportion to
the economic benefits consumed. Such intangible assets remain subject to the
impairment provisions of SFAS No. 121. Intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives will be tested for impairment annually in lieu of being amortized. The
impact of adopting SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 will not cause a material change in the
Company's consolidated financial statements as of the date of this report.
NOTE R - EXPLANATION OF RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The company restated the financial statement for the period ending August 31,
2004. The company reclassified marketable securities from current assets to
other assets. There is no net change in assets or liabilites.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
HISTORY AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on January 25, 1999 as US
Amateur Sports Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of eCom eCom.com, Inc.
("eCom") which trades on the OTC/Pink Sheets under the symbol 'ECEC.' On March
24, 2003, the Company changed its name to USA SportsNet, Inc., and recently
changed its name to American Capital Holdings, Inc. in connection with its spin-
off by eCom and its acquisition of certain assets of a company formerly known as
American Capital Holdings, Inc. (now known as ACHI, Inc.) The Company's main
office is located at 100 Village Square Crossings, Suite 202, Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida 33410, and the telephone number is (561) 207-6395.
While a wholly-owned subsidiary of eCom, the Company developed an e-commerce
Internet infrastructure. This product provided an affordable, user-friendly
technological platform and professional resources to facilitate web business
development. It also operated an on-line business as a test model, using
Company developed e-commerce concepts to sell sports products.
The Company was one of ten wholly-owned subsidiaries of eCom, with varying
business plans. In recent years, eCom concluded that it did not have the
financial resources necessary to develop all of its ten business units
collectively. eCom decided to spin off its subsidiaries into independent
companies in the belief that independent companies, each with a distinct
business, would be better able to obtain necessary funding and develop their
business plans. This belief was based in part on eCom's experience with
potential business partners which sought involvement with only one of eCom's
subsidiaries, rather than involvement with the multi-faceted eCom.
On December 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin-off of the
Company. They voted to issue to the shareholders of eCom one share of the
Company for every one share of eCom owned as of the record date of January 5,
2004. Fractional shares will be purchased by the Company. No payment was
required of the eCom shareholders.
After the spin-off of the Company was completed, the Company was presented with
an opportunity to acquire certain assets of American Capital Holdings, Inc. (now
known as, and referred to hereafter as ACHI) On January 12, 2004, the Company
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with ACHI whereby the Company acquired
certain assets of ACHI in return for the issuance of common stock of the Company
in an amount equal to 84.1% of the total ownership of the Company. In order to
accomplish this transaction, the Company effected a 20-to-1 reverse stock split,
which reduced its outstanding stock to 2,497,756 shares, and issued to ACHI
13,226,147 shares. The Company then changed its name to American Capital
Holdings, Inc., and ACHI changed its name to ACHI, Inc.
21
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
In addition, the Company agreed to reserve 25,000,000 of its authorized, but
unissued shares, for issuance pursuant to a public offering, and to issue
2,162,099 shares to Spaulding Ventures, LLC, or its shareholders, in replacement
of the shares of ACHI issued or to be issued to Spaulding in connection with a
prior acquisition of assets by ACHI from Spaulding (see "Acquisition of
Spaulding"). The proceeds of the public offering are to be used to acquire
additional interests in some of the companies in which the Company currently
holds an ownership interest, to provide capital to those companies, and to
acquire interests in other businesses of interest to the Company, which have not
yet been identified.
The assets acquired from ACHI consist primarily of approximately $10.8 million
of investment interests in ten developing companies (described below),
approximately $5.3 million of restricted securities, approximately $233,000 of
marketable securities, approximately $100,000 in cash, and proprietary
investment programs known as Energy Tax Incentive Preferred Securities ("ETIPS")
and Guaranteed Principal Insured Convertible Securities ("GPICS") which ACHI had
developed and specifically designed to facilitate investment in oil and gas
exploration in the United States, and in developing companies. See the American
Capital Holdings balance sheet included in the Financial Statements section of
this report.
On December 30, 2003, prior to the Company's acquisition from ACHI, ACHI entered
into a letter agreement with Spaulding Ventures, LLC, pursuant to which ACHI
agreed to acquire all of Spaulding's assets in return for 2,162,099 shares of
ACHI common stock, plus warrants to purchase a total of 216,210 additional
shares of ACHI common stock at a purchase price of $6.00 per share. As part of
its acquisition from ACHI of the assets ACHI acquired from Spaulding, the
Company has agreed to replace the shares and warrants issued by ACHI with shares
and warrants of the Company. In order to facilitate the distribution of these
securities by Spaulding to its shareholders, the Company intends file a
Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering
the distribution to Spaulding's shareholders of both the acquisition shares and
the shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants.
The assets acquired by ACHI from Spaulding, and subsequently acquired by the
Company from ACHI, consist primarily of equity ownership positions in the
following ten developing companies:
Smart Pill Holding Corporation Brilliant Roadways, Inc.
@visory, LLC eSmokes, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Business Strategy
Our primary business is insurance and insurance-related financial products. In
addition to traditional offerings such as life insurance, health insurance, and
annuities, we will offer financial strategies which utilize insurance as a part
of their structure. American Capital Holdings, Inc. owns the patent and the
trademarks for five proprietary products:
GPICS -- Guaranteed Principle Insured Convertible Securities
ETIPS -- Energy Tax Incentive Preferred Securities
ETICS -- Equipment Tax Incentive Convertible Securities
GPACS -- Guaranteed Pension Accounting Contract Solutions
GPACS -- Government Pension Accounting Contract Solution
Our GPACS(TM) products, which refers to both the Guaranteed Pension Accounting
Contract Solutions product and the Government Pension Accounting Contract
Solutions product, relate to a business method of adjusting the balance sheet of
a business or governmental organization. Recently, the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement 45, which requires government employers to
account for other post-employment benefits ("OPEB") as a liability on the
balance sheet. This new requirement is likely to adversely affect the perceived
financial health of the organization. The GPACS (TM) products relate to a
method devised to address this issue, particularly to a system for
organizing the unfunded obligations of the organization so that the liability
for those obligations on the balance sheet is offset by an asset. By
purchasing whole and term life insurance products for a pool of employees, with
the employer as the beneficiary, and utilizing the tax benefits of mandatory
participation in a tax-qualified retirement plan, an employer can realize
various financial benefits, as described in greater detail below.
We intend to use the insurance products of our subsidiaries to reduce currently
unfunded government and private sector pension plan liability, addressing the
needs of governmental and private sector businesses regarding unfunded pension
liabilities and other post-employment benefit ("OPEB") liabilities. The product
provides a systematic investing capability to enhance the profitability of the
organization via investment income, and improved treatment of tax obligations
via qualified plans which exempt OPEB income from Federal Income tax. The
restructuring of the balance sheet in such a manner can generate favorable
financial implications such as improved borrowing scenarios, reduction in the
cost of insurance coverage, and increases in the value of outstanding or newly-
issued bonds. We intend to collect premiums and commissions on the insurance
products sold as a part of the investment structure, and also collect a
consulting fee for the product itself. Until our pending acquisition of
Universe Life is completed, and it is capitalized sufficiently to obtain the
insurance licenses needed to underwrite our products, we will use the services
of third-party insurance carriers in connection with any sales of our products.
23
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
American Capital Holdings, Inc. plans to utilize the existing sales and
marketing divisions of IS Direct Agency, Inc. to target the municipalities
and school boards in the states in which the subsidiaries are licensed to do
business. IS Direct Agency will not be involved in the sale of any financial
products that are, or involve the sale of, securities.
Our GPICS(TM), ETIPS(TM) and ETICS(TM) products are investment structures
designed to maximize the benefit of energy and equipment tax incentives, in
order to facilitate investment in energy-related and other business enterprises.
An essential feature of these products is a guarantee of the principal invested,
as a result of the structuring of the investment. When and if these products
are utilized, when applicable, they will require separate SEC registration
statements and/or insurance product approvals in the states in which the
products are utilized. The sale of these products generates consulting revenue
from the strategic planning provided by the Company.
Our plan of operation includes the underwriting of the insurance aspects of our
products through our subsidiaries. Pending approvals of our above described
proposed acquisition of Universe Life, we will use third party insurance
carriers. However, upon completing the acquisition, which is expected in due
course, we will retain as much premium and commission money as possible within
our subsidiaries. We expect to be able to support operating expenses with
operating revenues beginning in 2006.
BSIDIARIES
IS Direct Agency, Inc.
IS Direct Agency, Inc. ("ISDA") was incorporated in the State of Florida on May
20, 2004. On May 21, 2004 ISDA acquired the assets of IS Direct Agency, Inc., a
New York Corporation. On May 21, 2004 an asset purchase agreement was executed
between American Capital Holdings and ISDA. ISDA is currently licensed in 43
states, but expects to obtain the necessary licenses to operate nationally.
Chris Dillon, President of IS Direct, is licensed as an independent agent in 49
states, and in the District of Columbia. In addition to term life, annuities,
and other traditional insurance products, IS Direct will offer placement for the
insurance components of our proprietary products. We anticipate most of the
insurance products sold by ISDA to be underwritten by Universe. We also intend
to sell the products of other licensed insurance carriers through ISDA.
Although ISDA currently sells primarily term insurance products, the acquisition
of Universe is expected to broaden the scope of its offerings.IS Direct Agency
will not be involved in the sale of any financial products that are, or involve
the sale of, securities
Universe Life Insurance Company
Universe is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Company, pending change-of-control
approval by the Insurance Commission of the State of Idaho. Universe is a life,
health, and annuities insurance carrier currently licensed in 43 states.
Universe is in the process of obtaining licenses to operate in the remaining 7
states. We expect Universe to be domiciled in the state of South Carolina, with
principle offices in Charleston.

Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company
On October 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement to purchase one-hundred (100%)
percent of the voting shares of Cosmopolitan Life for $500,000 and a surplus
note in the amount of $250,000. We expected to close our acquisition of
Cosmopolitan Life by August 2005, upon regulatory approval by the Arkansas
Department of Insurance, but have retracted our Form A submission and terminated
our acquisition agreement due to the outcome of our due diligence investigation.
PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS
Our GPICS(TM), ETIPS(TM), and ETICS(TM) products are investment structures
designed to utilize and maximize energy and equipment tax incentives, while
encouraging investment in oil and gas exploration in the United States, and
investment in developing companies. These products are characterized by the
guarantee of principal due to the structure of the investment. When and if these
products are utilized, when applicable, they will require separate SEC
registration statements and/or insurance product approvals in the states in
which the products are utilized.
Our GPACS(TM) product was created in response to General Accounting Standards
Board Statement 45 ("GASB 45"), which requires state and local governments to
account for and report the annual cost of other post-employment benefits
(referred to hereafter as "OPEB"), in essentially the same manner in which they
are required to account for pension obligations. This creates a liability on
the balance sheet which often can misrepresent an entity's financial health in
an adverse manner. Our product is designed to structure an investment that
offsets the liability with an asset, and additionally, provides investment
income and a tax benefit when coupled with the proper treatment of employee's
accrued income (part of OPEB.)
Management's plan of operation consists of selling our proprietary products to
government and private sector customers for whom the product provides maximum
utility, and underwriting the insurance element of the product through our
wholly-owned subsidiaries. We intend to use third-party insurance carriers,
but intend to retain commissions and premium payments within our subsidiaries.
We intend to use the financial products of our subsidiaries to address the needs
of governmental and private sector businesses regarding unfunded pension
liabilities and other post-employment benefit ("OPEB") liabilities. We also
plan to sell annuities and other insurance products, through our subsidiaries,
to both the public and private sectors. We also intend to invest and/or sell
our proprietary ETIPS(TM) and ETICS(TM) products in the public marketplace.
Our GPACS(TM) products, which refers to both the Guaranteed Pension Accounting
Contract Solutions product and the Government Pension Accounting Contract
Solutions product, relate to a business method of adjusting the balance sheet of
a business or governmental organization, and particularly to a system for
organizing the unfunded obligations of the organization so that the liability on
the balance sheet becomes offset by an asset. The product also provides a
systematic investing capability to enhance the profitability of the organization
and the improved treatment of tax obligations.
25
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
GPACS was created in response to the General Accounting Standards Board ("GASB")
Statement 45, which generally requires state and local governmental employers to
account for and report the annual cost of OPEB and the outstanding obligations
and commitments related to OPEB in essentially the same manner as currently
required pension obligations. Annual OPEB costs for most employers will be based
on actuarially determined amounts that, if paid on an ongoing basis, generally
would provide sufficient resources to pay benefits as they come due. The
provisions of Statement 45 do not require governments to fund their OPEB plans.
An employer may establish its OPEB liability at zero as of the beginning of the
initial year of implementation. However, the unfunded actuarial liability is
required to be amortized over future periods. Statement 45 is effective for
periods beginning after December 15, 2006, 2007, or 2008, depending on the size
of the government entity based on annual revenues used for GASB 34
implementation requirements.
In May of 2004, the GASB issued a corresponding "plan" statement, Statement 43 -
Financial Reporting for Post-Employment Benefit Plans Other than Pension Plans.
Statement 43 is effective one year prior to Statement 45. This statement
requires a statement of plan net assets, statement of changes in plan net
assets, schedule of funding progress, and schedule of employer contributions in
the stand-alone financial reports of OPEB plans, as well as in the financial
statements of governments having OPEB trust funds.
Actuarial services will be required one year earlier if the "plan" Statement 43
is applicable, unless an alternative measurement method is utilized. However,
the alternative measurement method is only an option for plans with a total
membership of fewer than one hundred. Many OPEB plans are currently paying
benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. If a government does not have an acceptable
trust or equivalent arrangement established, actuarial valuations will not be
necessary until Statement 45 is effective. Establishing a trust may be an option
for funding OPEB benefits; employers should consider the impact of required
actuarial services.
Our GPICS(TM), ETIPS(TM), and ETICS(TM) products are each investment structures
designed to maximize the benefit of energy and equipment tax incentives, in
order to facilitate investment in energy related and other business enterprises.
An essential feature of these products is a guarantee of the principal invested,
as a result of building an insurance policy into the structure of the
investment.
Government Regulation
Life insurance companies are subject to regulation and supervision by the states
in which they transact business. State insurance laws establish supervisory
agencies with broad regulatory authority, including the power to:
* grant and revoke licenses to transact business
* regulate and supervise trade practices and market conduct
* establish guaranty associations
* license agents
* approve policy forms
* approve premium rates for some lines of business

* limit the amount of dividends and surplus note payments that can be paid
without obtaining regulatory approval.
Our life subsidiaries are subject to periodic examinations by state regulatory
authorities. The payment of dividends or the distributions, including surplus
note payments, by our life subsidiaries is subject to regulation by each
subsidiary's state of domicile's insurance department. In addition, dividends
and surplus note payments may be made only out of earned surplus, and all
surplus note payments are subject to prior approval by regulatory authorities.
Most states have also enacted regulations on the activities of insurance holding
company systems, including acquisitions, extraordinary dividends, the terms of
surplus notes, the terms of affiliate transactions and other related matters.
Most states have enacted legislation or adopted administrative regulations
affecting the acquisition of control of insurance companies as well as
transactions between insurance companies and persons controlling them. The
nature and extent of such legislation and regulations currently in effect vary
from state to state. However, most states require administrative approval of the
direct or indirect acquisition of 10% or more of the outstanding voting
securities of an insurance company incorporated in the state. The acquisition of
10% of such securities is generally deemed to be the acquisition of "control"
for the purpose of the holding company statutes and requires not only the filing
of detailed information concerning the acquiring parties and the plan of
acquisition, but also administrative approval prior to the acquisition. In many
states, the insurance authority may find that "control" in fact does not exist
in circumstances in which a person owns or controls more than 10% of the voting
securities.
Federal legislation and administrative policies in several areas, including
pension regulation, age and sex discrimination, financial services regulation,
securities regulation and federal taxation can significantly affect the
insurance business.
State insurance regulators and the NAIC are continually reexamining existing
laws and regulations and developing new legislation for the passage by state
legislatures and new regulations for adoption by insurance authorities. Proposed
laws and regulations or those still under development pertain to insurer
solvency and market conduct and in recent years have focused on:
* insurance company investments
* risk-based capital ("RBC") guidelines, which consist of regulatory targeted
surplus levels based on the relationship of statutory capital and surplus,
with prescribed adjustments, to the sum of stated percentages of each element
of a specified list of company risk exposures
* the implementation of non-statutory guidelines and the circumstances under
which dividends may be paid

period of $1,116,320 was the result of a decline in the market value of both the
Company's holdings in eCom eCom.com and Air Media Now, Inc. A $43,113 decline

value combined for the $1,116,320 loss the three months ended August 31, 2004.

at the end of the prior fiscal year. The $202,240 increase in total current

funds from shareholders.
Accounts Payable decreased from $27,806 to $23,235 during the current three
months. Current liabilities increased from $931,485 at the end of the prior

expand our business, we may sell additional equity, issue debt or obtain other
credit facilities through financial institutions. Any sale of additional equity
securities will result in dilution to our shareholders.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation of
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the Chief Executive
and Chief Financial Officer of the Company has concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance
level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
applicable time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial
reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2004 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings, except for an Involuntary
Bankruptcy Petition filed by the Company, as one of three (3) petitioning
creditors, against eCom that is currently pending in the Federal District Court
in Broward County, Florida. American Capital Holdings, Inc. is a creditor of
eCom and the spin-offs of eCom, and is initiating the bankruptcy proceedings as
means to reorganize eCom and the spin-offs of eCom due to failed or failing
businesses, and lost shareholder value. In 1999, eCom reached market
capitalization of over $250 million. Since 1999, market capitalization has hit
record lows of approximately $120 thousand, and currently ranges between $500
thousand and $1 million. The bankruptcy filing will allow the Company to
reorganize and/or divest their interest in order to pursue profitable strategies
as a means of restoring lost shareholder value.
On May 16, 2005, eCom and its creditors attended the first status conference in
the United States Bankruptcy Court - Southern District of Florida (In Re: Case
No. 04-34535 BKC-SHF) in front of the Honorable Judge Steven Friedman.
An order was granted to the petitioning creditors adjudicating eCom as a debtor
under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Order
included specific instructions for eCom to retain bankruptcy counsel by June 4,
2005.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED)
On June 3, 2005, eCom, through a $100,000 Debtor In Possession Financing
Agreement with American Capital Holdings, Inc., entered into an engagement
agreement to retain the legal services of Kluger, Peretz, Kaplan & Berlin to
represent the Company in its aforementioned reorganization plans. Both of the
financing and legal representation agreements were ordered by the Bankruptcy
Court at a hearing which took place June 6, 2005.
On June 6, 2005, a second bankruptcy status conference was held in front of the
Honorable Judge Steven Friedman. Two (2) motions were heard with resulting
court approval. One was an Court Order for eCom to retain the legal services of
Kluger, Peretz, Kaplin & Berlin P.L. The second Court Order was the approval of
Barney A. Richmond as the new Chief Executive Officer of eCom eCom.com, Inc.
Mr. Richmond has significant experience in corporate and bankruptcy
reorganizations. Judge Friedman's court order included instructions for Mr.
Richmond and Kluger Peretz to commence with the preparation a viable plan of
reorganization for eCom eCom.com, Inc. and all of the spinoff companies of eCom.
This process is significantly underway, and includes the completion of the May
31, 2005 audits and Form 10-K filings, and preparation of the Form 10-SBs for
the spinoff companies. Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
provides certain exemptions from the securities registration requirements of
federal and state securities laws with respect to equity securities issued for
allowed claims under a qualified reorganization plan. The Debtor and spinoff
companies plan to implement a plan of reorganization and utilize this exemption,
which was discussed during the aforementioned June 6, 2005 Court Hearing.
On July 25, 2005, a third bankruptcy hearing was held in front of the Honorable
Judge Steven Friedman, during which two (2) orders were granted by the court.
The first order granted the Debtor permission to obtain post-petition financing
in the amount of $100,000 from American Capital Holdings, Inc. on the terms and
conditions set forth in the motion. The second order granted authorization for
the Debtor-in-Possession to (I) Provide Electronic Service Upon Equity Security
Holders and (II) Utilize Executive Mail Service for Purposes of Coordinating and
Effectuating Service Upon Equity Security Holders.
Electronic copies of the May 16, June 6, and July 25 2005 court transcripts are
