                     ZAXIS INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements present the consolidated financial position and results
of operations of Zaxis International Inc. ("the Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Zaxis Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.

The Company manufactures and sells products for use in electrophoresis, an
electrochemical process used to analyze genetic material and its components such
as proteins and DNA. The Company also sells equipment manufactured to its
specifications, including power supplies used in performing electrophoresis. The
Company's products are sold directly to institutions operating research
laboratories and to distributors who market its products under the "Zaxis" name
or their own private labels.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-B. These interim financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are in the opinion of
management necessary for a fair presentation. However, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. Operating results for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2002.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 2001.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred substantial losses in 2000 and 2001 and incurred a net
loss of $156,918 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The Company does not
expect to generate sufficient sales volume with its existing customer base to
support its cost of operations through 2002 and, accordingly, will need to raise
additional funds through borrowings or equity funding. The Company is actively
pursuing additional funds through the issuance of either debt or equity
instruments. However, such funds may not be available on favorable terms or at
all. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern and the auditor's report contained in the Company's
2001 annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission contains an explanatory paragraph with respect to this matter.

NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE

During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company issued notes
aggregating $145,000 ($135,000 to related parties) with stated interest rates
ranging from 4.25% to 7.5%. The notes mature at various dates through January
20, 2003 with the exception of $105,000 which are payable on demand.

At March 31, 2002, the Company was delinquent on principal and interest payments
of approximately $15,000 and $5,856.98, respectively.

At March 31, 2002, amounts due to directors and former directors represents a
bonus payable to a former officer/director payable in July 2002.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company issued 15,000 shares
of common stock for services.

No stock options or warrants were granted during the quarter ended March 31,
2002. Stock options and warrants were excluded in the computation of diluted
loss per share for the periods presented since their effect would have been
antidilutive.

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCY

On or about March 15, 2001, the Company entered into a Plan and Agreement of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Online Testing Center, Inc. ("OTC")
relating to the proposed acquisition of OTC through a merger of OTC with and
into the Company. Consummation of the Merger Agreement was subject to a number
of conditions and provided for certain termination rights. The company notified
OTC that it was terminating the Merger Agreement on April 6, 2001. OTC has
alleged that the termination was invalid and that it intended to pursue its
rights to enforce the Merger Agreement. To date, the Company is not aware that
any action has commenced. Management of the Company believes that it had
sufficient legal grounds to terminate the Merger Agreement and has no liability
in any asserted action.

NOTE 6 - DISCLOSURE

As of this date, an Independent Auditor's review of the financial statements
included in this filing has not been performed. If the review is completed at a
later date, the quarterly report will be amended to remove this disclosure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002.

THIS REPORT CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION
27A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT
OF 1934, AS AMENDED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STATEMENTS REGARDING THE
COMPANY'S EXPECTATIONS, BELIEFS, INTENTIONS OR FUTURE STRATEGIES THAT ARE
SIGNIFIED BY SUCH WORDS AS "EXPECTS", "ANTICIPATES", "INTENDS", "BELIEVES", OR
SIMILAR LANGUAGE. ALL FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE
BASED ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY ON THE DATE HEREOF, AND THE
COMPANY ASSUMES NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED IN THE
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. IN EVALUATING THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS, THE COMPANY
CAUTIONS PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS THAT ITS BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ARE
SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the first three months ended March 31, 2002 were $212,819 as compared
with $152,767 for the first three months of 2001. The 39.3% increase in sales
for this quarter vs. the same quarter of 2001 resulted from increased revenue
generated through existing accounts as well as the addition of new accounts.

The Company's cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2002 vs.
the same quarter in 2001 represented a 36.1% increase due primarily to increased
sales volume and a reclassification of certain administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined by 23.3% from the year ago
quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in staffing. The
reclassification of certain expenses into costs of goods sold was also a
contributing factor.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2002 was reduced by $7,517 or 17%
compared to the first quarter in 2001 primarily due to a higher weighted-average
debt outstanding in 2001 compared to 2002.

The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 amounted to $(156,918) as
compared to a net loss of $(243,653) for the same quarter in 2001. The loss per
share was affected by the increase in the weighted average number of shares
outstanding to 16,230,623 in the three months ended March 31, 2002 from
9,981,773 in the three months ended March 31, 2001.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Cash used for operations amounted to $155,877 for the three months ended March
31, 2002. We had no property and equipment expenditures for the quarter. Cash
provided from financing activities totaled $143,672 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 primarily due to the issuance of notes payable of $145,000. To
support its anticipated cash needs, the Company will be required to raise
additional capital through borrowings or equity financings. There can be no
assurance that this will be achieved. The

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

Company is working in 2002 to maintain steady relations with creditors while it
strives to improve sales volume and demonstrate that the Company can be
successful.

The Company will continue to be reliant upon investor funding sources until the
unit sales volumes result in sufficient revenue to support the Company's
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to receive
investor funding or that the Company will be able to strengthen its customer
base sufficiently to generate the sales volume required to meet or exceed the
cost of operations.
