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") 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, 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.
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 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 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 is recognized at the time the investment
dividends are declared payable by the underlying investment. Capital Gains and
losses is 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 is recorded at cost and is 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

statements and independent accountants' review report.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
asset shall be amortized over management's best estimate of its useful life.
An intangible asset with a 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.

has been recorded as comprehensive loss, unrealized holding loss during the
period totaling approximately $1.6 million.

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 antidilutive 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

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

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

AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
American Capital Holdings, Inc., ("ACH") is a holding company which owns five
(5) proprietary financial products. These products are known as Guaranteed
Principle Insured Convertible Securities ("GPICS (TM)"), Energy Tax Incentive
Preferred Securities ("ETIPS(TM)"), Equipment Tax Incentive Convertible
Securities ("ETICS(TM)"), Guaranteed Pension Accounting Contract Solutions
("GPACS(TM)") and Government Pension Accounting Contract Solutions
("GPACS(TM)"). The GPACS(TM) products are designed to provide solutions for
unfunded government and private sector pension plan liability. The GPICS(TM),
ETIPS(TM) and ETICS(TM) products are investment structures designed to
facilitate the use of energy and depreciation tax incentives while insuring the
capital investment through guarantees of principal. Our Chairman, Barney A.
Richmond, has applied for a patent for one of these products, known as
Government Pension Accounting Contract Solutions (GPACS(TM)). If and when the
patent is granted, Mr. Richmond will assign the patent to ACH.
The GPACS(TM) and some of our other products use insurance as a part of their
structures. The insurance contracts will be written through several licensed
insurance carriers. We intend to underwrite insurance policies through three
subsidiaries, through which we intend to conduct our primary business
operations. These subsidiaries are IS Direct Agency, Inc. ("IS Direct"),
Universe Life Insurance Company ("Universe") and Cosmopolitan Life Insurance
Company ("Cosmopolitan").
IS Direct is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACH, and is a licensed insurance
agency through which we will sell our products. IS Direct is currently licensed
in twenty three states. Chris Dillon, president of IS Direct, is authorized to
do business as an individual agent in 47 states and in the District of Columbia.
Mr. Dillon is currently applying for licenses in the three remaining states of
Alaska, Wyoming and Washington. IS Direct expects to obtain the necessary
licenses for it to operate in all 50 states. In addition to placing the
insurance components of our financial products, IS Direct will also sell term
life products, annuities and other traditional insurance products. We expect
most of the insurance products sold by IS Direct will be eventually underwritten
by Universe. However, we also plan to use IS Direct to sell additional products
of other licensed insurance carriers.
Universe is another wholly-owned subsidiary of ACH, which has been acquired in
escrow pending approval of the change in control by the Insurance Commissioner
of the State of Idaho. Universe is a life, health and annuities insurance
carrier, which is currently licensed to operate in 23 states. Universe is in
the application process to become licensed in all remaining states, and expects
to obtain the necessary licenses to operate in all 50 states in the near future.
We expect Universe to be domiciled in the State of South Carolina, with its
principal offices in Charleston.
On October 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement to purchase 80% of
Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company. We expect to close our acquisition of
Cosmopolitan in January 2005, upon approval by the Insurance Commissioner of
21
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Arkansas. Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company is a stipulated premium insurer
chartered in 1931 in the State of Arkansas. Since 1998, Cosmopolitan has
offered both direct and re-insurance coverage related to health and dental care
plans, with a specialty in providing stop-loss coverage for self-funded employer
plans.
ACH's principal executive offices are located at 100 Village Square Crossing,
Suite 202, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410, and our telephone number is (561) 207-
6395. The Company's fiscal year ends May 31, 2005.
Business Strategy
We intend to use the financial products of our subsidiaries as solutions,
addressing 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.
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 Postemployement 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.
22
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
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 the structuring of the investment.
Our plan of operation includes the underwriting of the insurance aspects of our
products through our subsidiaries. Pending approvals of our recent acquisitions
of Universe and Cosmopolitan, we will use third party insurance carriers.
However, upon receiving the approvals, which are expected in due course, we will
retain as much premium and commission money as possible within our subsidiaries.
IS Direct currently sells primarily term and whole life insurance products.
However, upon the completion of our pending proposed acquisition of Universe,
the scope of products available for sale by IS Direct is expected to broaden.
Universe is a life insurance company which we expect to use to underwrite the
insurance policies required by our GPACS products.
Until 1998, Cosmopolitan was engaged exclusively in providing burial / final
expense insurance, and was operated as a small stipulated premium carrier in
association with the funeral home business. In 1998, Cosmopolitan was acquired
by Stephen E. Whitwell and J. Matt Lile, who implemented plans to grow the
company. In 1998 a dental insurance product was file-approved and marketing
commenced. Cosmopolitan also became involved in providing specific stop-loss
coverage for self-funded employer plans for which there was a retro-session
agreement. In 2001, Cosmopolitan introduced a new product, Employers Choice
Health Plan, referred to as ECHP. Recently, most of Cosmopolitan's revenues
have been realized from re-insurance assumed, while its dental product has been
a small but profitable segment for the company. Cosmopolitan sees great
opportunity for each product to expand and to have great growth potential with
the added authority by way of either obtaining Certificate of Authority in
additional jurisdictions or by affiliating with an issuing carrier with
authority in other jurisdictions to enter into a quota share agreement.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended August 31, 2004 with the three months
ended August 31, 2003.
Revenue for the three month period ended August 31, 2004 was $66 compared to
no revenue recorded during the same period of the prior year. Revenues were
recorded from commission received by our insurance subsidiary IS Direct Agency.
23
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Gross profit reflects a loss of $3,944 in the current year versus no loss for
the prior years three month period. Depreciation expense contributed $4,010 to
the current years deficit in gross profit.
General and administrative costs of $243,862 for the current three month period
reflect costs of staffing our administrative and sales offices. Consulting
costs contributed $114,672; rent contributed $10,074; and travel contributed
$37,851 of the total $243,862 administrative expenses for the current three
month period.
Our operations for the three months ended August 31, 2004 resulted in a net
loss of $262,162 . Unrealized holding losses during the current three month
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
in the eCom market value plus a $1,073,207 decline in the Air Media Now market
value combined for the $1,116,320 loss the three months ended August 31, 2004.
Realized gains and losses during the current three month period of $6,636
resulted from the the company's sale of its 1,194,824 share holding of Smart
Pill Diagnostics, Inc.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2004 current assets totaled $3,441,248 compared to $3,239,008
at the end of the prior fiscal year. The $202,240 increase in total current
assets was the result of an increase in cash of $198,259 as the company borrowed
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
fiscal year to $1,415,045 at the end of the current quarter, an increase of
$483,560 due to the increase of short term borrowing.
To the extent that additional funds are required to support operations or to
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
Evaluation of the Company's Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls:
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB,
the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
'disclosure controls and procedures'("Disclosure Controls"). This 'evaluation'
("Controls Evaluation") was done under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chairman
("CEO")and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). As a result of this review, the
Company adopted guidelines concerning disclosure controls and the establishment
of a disclosure control committee made up of senior management.
24
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls:
The Company's management, including the CEO/CHAIRMAN and CFO, does not expect
that its Disclosure Controls or its 'internal controls and procedures for
financial reporting' ("Internal Controls")will prevent all error and all fraud.
control system, no matter how well conceived and managed, can provide only
reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The
design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the
control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-
effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not
be detected.
Conclusions:
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, the CEO/CHAIRMAN and CFO have concluded
that, subject to the limitations noted above, the Disclosure Controls are
effective to timely alert management to material information relating to the
Company during the period when its periodic reports are being prepared.
In accordance with SEC requirements, the CEO/CHAIRMAN and CFO note that, since
the date of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there
have been no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
