NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
 
Major Customers—Sales to major customers are defined as sales to any one customer which exceeded 10% of total sales in any of the two reporting periods.
 
Sales to the major customers during each of the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: Customer “A” represented 15.8% and 13.2% of sales, respectively; Customer “B” represented 33.6% and 0% of sales respectively, and Customer “C” represented 0% and 12.6% respectively.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, sales to major customers were: Customer “A” represented 20.7% and 9.0% respectively, Customer “B” represented 22.5% and 0% respectively, Customer “C” represented 0% and 15.7% respectively, and Customer “D” represented 0% and 7.6% respectively.
 
Inventory—Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Reserves for inventory valuation are reviewed periodically, and adjusted accordingly. As of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 inventory consisted of the following:

Loss Per Share—Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects potential dilution which could occur if all potentially issuable common shares from stock purchase warrants and options or convertible notes payable and resulted in the issuance of common stock. For the quarters ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 133,040,367 and 11,569,494 potentially dilutive securities from common stock options, warrants and convertible debt have been excluded from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the diluted net loss per share computations because they would have decreased the loss per share.
 
Deferred Revenue—Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced and paid by customers for which products have not yet been shipped.
 
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)—Comprehensive income/(loss) provides a measure of overall Company performance that includes all changes in equity resulting from transactions and events other than capital transactions. The Company’s comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

NOTE 2    GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained recurring losses from operations, and has a working capital deficiency, a stockholders’ deficit and does not have the necessary funds to repay its debt, which is all due December 31, 2002. As operations have not generated sufficient amounts of cash, the Company has relied upon debt financing to fund its current period operations. The financing has been obtained from affiliates of the Company’s largest shareholder who extended the due dates of the notes several times during 2001 and 2002. There is no guarantee that the due dates of the notes will continue to be extended. The Company’s attainment of profitable operations and sufficient additional financing cannot be determined at this time. These conditions among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See also Notes 6 and 9.
 
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to comply with the terms and covenants of its financing agreements, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. Management is continuing its efforts to obtain additional funds so that the Company can meet its obligations and sustain operations from sources that are described below.
 
Management’s Plans—Based on the Company’s current cash position and its plans for 2002, management believes that additional capital will be required immediately, including an additional extension of the debt that is due to mature on December 31, 2002. The Company’s financing agreement with Lancer Offshore, Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P. allowed for such loans to be increased to a total of their current outstanding principal amount of $6,585,000, an increase over the prior loan ceiling of $6,285,000 (see Notes 6 and 9). Although both lenders can agree to increase such loans again, provided the Company agrees to do so, the Company has no assurance of such mutual agreement. The Company is currently seeking funding from other sources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts.
 
NOTE 3    STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Options for 13,334 shares were exercised in March 2001 at a price of $1.31 per share, for proceeds of $17,467.
 
NOTE 4    MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
Pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors, the Board on June 8, 2001 resolved to issue up to 1,000 shares of a series of 8% cumulative, convertible senior preferred stock. The shares, if and when issued, will be convertible into shares of common stock at a rate of 16,667 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock. The Company has not issued any of such shares as of the date hereof.
 
NOTE 5    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
 
On February 20, 2001 certain parties filed a lawsuit against the Company with respect to their purchase of a total of 230,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $3.00 per share in a private placement transaction in February 2000. The plaintiffs seek rescission of the transaction and/or damages, including treble damages, which they allege arise out of the Company’s failure to file a registration statement on or before December 31, 2000. The lawsuit is currently pending and in the discovery stage in the United States District Court for the District of Utah.
 
 
In December 2001, the United States District Court in Utah approved the plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend their pleading to commence a lawsuit against five individual defendants (David D. Singer, an officer-director, Donald I. Wallace, a former officer-director, Malcolm Thomas, a director, Charles Taylor, a director, and a former officer, Kevin Childress) and to assert an additional cause of action against the Corporation for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and promissory estoppel, and a new cause of action for fraud against Mr. Singer. The plaintiffs continue to seek the same relief originally sought by them. The Company and the individual defendants recently filed answers in the case.
 
 
The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to such action and intends to prosecute its defenses of the action vigorously, but there can be no assurance as to the outcome thereof. An estimate of potential losses, if any, cannot be made at this time. The Company is vigorously contesting these new additional claims and believes it has meritorious defenses to these new claims, and the individual defendants named in the lawsuit are doing the same, although the Company cannot assure the results of such lawsuit.

In May 2002. the Business Software Alliance, a trade association representing various software companies rights under the Federal Copyright Act, (“BSA”) asserted a claim against us alleging that we had unauthorized or unlicensed copies of certain software products published by BSA member companies (in this case, Adobe Systems Incorporated and Microsoft Corporation) installed on our computers. BSA alleged that we could be held liable for statutory damages on a per product basis of between $30,000 and $150,000 per product, plus reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.
 
In August, 2002 the Company reached a tentative settlement of the claim that would require the Company to pay $54,710 and to acquire various software licenses. The tentative settlement amount has been accrued as of June 30, 2002. The Company is working with BSA to finalize the agreement.
 
NOTE 6    NOTES PAYABLE—RELATED PARTY
 
On May 17, 2001 the Company issued senior secured convertible debt (the “2001 Notes”) for $1,125,000 to affiliates of its largest shareholder. The notes bear interest at the rate of 15% per year and were originally to mature on September 15, 2001, unless they were mandatorily converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the maturity date. The mandatory conversion was conditional, and provided for the debt to convert into shares of common stock at a rate below the then market price of the stock. The 2001 Notes are secured by a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company issued a warrant to purchase 562,500 shares of Common Stock in connection with the notes, and agreed to pay a finders fee of 10%. The value of the warrants was accounted for as discount on the notes, and the amortization of the discount and the placement fee were accounted for as additional interest expense. Under the terms of the 2001 Notes, the Company and the lender could mutually agree to increase the amount of the loan to a total of $5,000,000 with a pro rata increase in the amount of warrants issuable by the Company. The notes contain a default provision that would increase the annual interest rate to 16%, and would require the Company to issue a certain number of shares of Common Stock, up to a certain limit.
 
During the rest of 2001, the Company borrowed an additional $2,085,000 and issued additional warrants to purchase 3,042,500 shares of Common Stock, including a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of stock issued as an additional placement fee. The Company did not meet the conditions required to convert the debt into shares of Common Stock, and the maturity date of the notes was extended first to December 15, 2001, and again to February 28, 2002. In consideration for the additional borrowings and other modifications to the original terms of the 2001 Notes, the contingent conversion rate, warrant stock purchase price, default terms and other terms of the notes were modified so that on December 31, 2001 the notes bore the following terms:
 
The entire principal amount of $3,210,000 comprising the 2001 Notes became mandatorily convertible into shares of Common Stock at the rate of one share for each $0.05 of debt (A) upon receipt of approval of the Company’s shareholders at a meeting of such conversion and (B) upon receipt of $3,210,000 in equity from sources other than the Company’s largest shareholder or his affiliates on or before February 28, 2002.
 
Because the contingent conversion rate was below the market value of the stock, the value of the contingent beneficial conversion feature on each of the notes is as follows:

The beneficial conversion feature will be recognized in the Company’s financial statements if and when the related contingencies are resolved.
 
The exercise price of the warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock was reduced to $0.30 per share which term will also apply to any additional warrants issued in such the financing transactions;
 
The maturity date of the entire principal amount of $3,210,000 comprising the 2001 Notes was extended until February 28, 2002 (unless mandatorily converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock prior to such date)


Table of Contents
 
The Company agreed to give the lender full anti–dilution protection in the event the Company sold shares of its Common Stock at a price less than $0.05 per share during the one–year period commencing on November 14, 2001;
 
The amount of shares issuable in the event of a default was 1,605,000 shares of Common Stock, and on January 25, 2002 was increased to 1,780,000 shares of Common Stock, for each month in which a default exists and continuing until such default is cured, up to a maximum of 12,500,000 shares.
 
The Company agreed to reduce its operating budget to a monthly burn rate (i.e. the excess of its expenditures over revenues received, in each case determined on a cash basis) of not greater than $250,000 effective for the month of September 2001 and $375,000 for each month thereafter, and to curtail all its discretionary spending until additional equity is raised.
 
During 2002 the Company received additional loans of $3,425,000 from affiliates of its largest stockholder, bringing the total amount of the 2001 Notes to $6,585,000. At a special shareholders’ meeting held on March 15, 2002, the shareholders of the Company approved the mandatory conversion of the 2001 Notes up to the then applicable ceiling amount of $5,000,000 into shares of Common Stock, although the terms of the Notes now require the Company to raise an additional $6,585,000 in equity from sources other than its largest shareholder and his affiliates on or before December 31, 2002 before such conversion may occur. At such meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of up to the then applicable ceiling amount of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants to purchase such shares held by such affiliates. The Company could pay the 2001 Notes in whole or in part if it obtains additional debt financing and thereby avoid the mandatory conversion thereof.
 
The Company also received a four-month extension of the maturity date of the 2001 Notes from its creditors, and agreed to give such creditors 7,120,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration therefore, subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders at a meeting with respect to such issuance in accordance with applicable American Stock Exchange rules. On June 28, 2002 the Company’s shareholders approved the potential issuance of up to 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock to its lenders, including the 7,120,000 shares discussed above. If shareholder approval was not obtained, the Company would have been obligated to pay its lenders $356,000 in cash, in lieu of issuing the 7,120,000 shares. The $356,000 was amortized over the modified term of the Notes. Upon getting shareholder approval to issue the shares, the contingency related to their issuance was resolved. Accordingly, the Company recorded interest expense of $1,780,000, equal to the fair value of the shares on June 28, 2002, less the $356,000 previously recorded. The fair value of the Common Stock to be issued is recorded in the balance sheet as a separate element of stockholders’ deficit.
 
On July 23, 2002 the Company reached agreement with its lenders to extend the due date of the 2001 Notes to September 30, 2002 and to confirm to the Company that no events of default existed. The Company agreed to issue an additional 5,380,000 shares of Common Stock to its lenders in consideration for the modification of terms. The fair value of these shares, $1,102,900, was recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the modified debt.
 
The Notes also provide for the conversion of the debt into shares of common stock as a remedy available to the lenders in the event of a default.
 
On July 23, 2002 the maximum amount of shares issuable in the event of a default was increased to up to a maximum of 25,000,000 shares.

NOTE 7    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. Under SFAS No. 145, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt shall be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet certain criteria for classification as extraordinary items in APB Opinion No. 30. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and also makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements that are not substantive in nature. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. All other provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. This amendment and other issues addressed in SFAS No. 145 are not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
 
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146, addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for an exit cost or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, whereas under EITF No. 94-3, a liability was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s operations.
 
The Company adopted SFAS 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on January 1, 2002 and there was no effect.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
When used in this discussion, the words “expect(s)”, “feel(s)”, “believe(s)”, “will”, “may”, “anticipate(s)” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements, and are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures elsewhere in this Report which discuss factors which affect our business.
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and respective notes thereto.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and Three Months Ended September 30, 2001
 
We incurred a net loss of $2,563,905 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, or a $0.08 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $1,999,473 or a $0.06 loss per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increased loss is attributable to $1,451,131 in interest expense related to our debt financing, partially off-set by a $449,988 reduction in operating expenses.
 
Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 totaled $146,071 compared to $262,455 during the three months ended September 30, 2001, or a decrease of $116,384 or 44.3%. During the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, we derived our revenue as follows:

During the third quarter of 2002, we continued to implement our strategic plan to focus our efforts on the X-traWebTM product line, and specifically on applying our technology to automated meter reading solutions for the utilities industry. The decline in revenue from X-traWebTM products and services in 2002 compared to 2001 resulted primarily from the completion of two non-recurring customer contracts in the vending and facilities management industry, and from our shift to the development and sale of products for the automated meter reading market. As of September 30, 2002, we have generated $15,000 in revenue from such activities.
 
The Corporate category represents revenue not directly attributable to a specific segment, or those business activities no longer being pursued. Corporate revenues reported in the third quarter of 2001 represent royalty fees paid under an agreement that has since expired.
 
Our decline in revenue from radio products, which totaled $146,071 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $262,455 for the comparable quarter in 2001, resulted from a significant downturn in unit sales. Antenna sales fell 18.2%; radio sales dropped 45.5%.
 
Our cost of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 declined to $92,743 from a total of $391,121 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a reduction of $298,378 or 76.3%. The resulting gross profit was $53,328, or 36.5% of sales, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to a loss of $128,666, or 49.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This improvement in gross profit margin is primarily the result of a write-down of inventory items to their fair value recorded in 2001. The gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $69,334, or 26.4%, before the write-down. The improvement in gross margin before the write-down reflects the absence of revenue from two non-recurring customer contracts in the vending and facilities management industry, where our margins were very low.
 
Our research and development expenses increased to $168,524 from $131,978, or by $36,546, or 27.7%, for the comparable three month periods ended September 30, 2002 versus September 30, 2001. The increase over the comparable period is attributable to development projects relating to our radio product line, and the integration of our automatic meter reading product into additional


Table of Contents
utility meter models. We believe the resulting radio frequency technology improvements will enhance our automated meter reading solution through improved performance, and reduced system cost.
 
Our total selling, general, and administrative expenses amounted to $996,946 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to $1,440,622 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, representing a decrease of $443,676, or 30.8%. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $57,682, or 22.0%, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 over the three months ended September 30, 2001 and represents a decrease in advertising, consulting, and expenses for marketing our X-traWebTM products overseas. Total general and administrative expenses for the comparable September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 period decreased by $385,994, or 43.7%, and resulted from (1) decreases of $234,199 in employment related expenses and $115,682 in consulting and outside services and (2) $15,005 in decreased travel related expenses. We also realized lower occupancy costs for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 versus the comparable three-month period ended September 30, 2001 as the result of the close of our Kansas City facility in the third quarter of 2001.
 
Interest expense increased to $1,451,131 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to $255,786 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase is directly related to our issuance of units of secured notes and warrants beginning in the second quarter of 2001, and represents the amortization of discounts related to the warrants, placement fees, fees incurred for the extension of the debt, and accrued interest on the Notes. On June 28, 2002 the Company’s shareholders approved the potential issuance of up to 12,500,000 shares of common stock to its lenders. On July 23, 2002, the Company committed to issue 5,380,000 share of common stock to its lenders for debt extension. The fair value of the 5,380,000 shares, or $1,102,900, accounts for most of the increase in interest expense over the comparable quarter in the prior year.
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001
 
We incurred a net loss of $8,415,361 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, or a $0.27 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $5,667,180 or a $0.18 loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increased loss is attributable to $5,067,710 in interest expense related to our debt financing, partially off-set by a $1,801,348 reduction in operating expenses.
 
Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 totaled $589,906 compared to $863,315 during the nine months ended September 30, 2001, or a decrease of $273,409 or 31.7%. During the nine months ended September 30 of 2002 and 2001, we derived our revenue as follows:

Our decrease in revenue from radio products, which totaled $574,906 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $612,763 for the comparable period in 2001, resulted from a sharp decline in sales in the third quarter of 2002, following a small down turn in unit sales during the second quarter. The decline in sales during the second quarter occurred primarily in our antenna products. Sales of both antenna and radio products were off in the third quarter.
 
        Our cost of sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 declined to $265,115 from a total of $684,349 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a reduction of $419,234 or 61.3%. The resulting gross profit was $324,791, or 55.1% of sales, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to $178,966, or 20.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This improvement in gross profit margin reflects the absence of a write-down of inventory items to their fair value recorded in 2001, and the completion of two non-recurring customer contracts in the vending and facilities management industry, where our margins were very low.

Our research and development expenses increased to $491,828 from $406,155, or by $85,673, or 21.1%, for the comparable nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 versus September 30, 2001. The increase over the comparable period is primarily attributable to development projects relating to our radio product line. We believe the resulting radio frequency technology improvements will enhance our automated meter reading solution through improved performance, and reduced system cost.
 
Our total selling, general, and administrative expenses amounted to $3,207,745 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to $4,966,192 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, representing a decrease of $1,758,447, or 35.4%. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $335,049, or 39.5%, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 over the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and represents a decrease in advertising, consulting, and expenses for marketing our X-traWebTM products overseas. Total general and administrative expenses for the comparable September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 period decreased by $1,423,407, or 34.6%, and resulted from (1) decreases of $859,333 in employment related expenses and $415,261 in consulting and outside services, and (2) $128,058 in decreased travel related expenses. We also realized lower occupancy costs for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 versus the comparable nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 as the result of the close of our Kansas City facility in the third quarter of 2001. These cost savings were offset in part by increased legal and accounting fees, and increased insurance costs.
 
Interest expense increased to $5,067,710 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to $375,340 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase is directly related to our issuance of units of secured notes and warrants beginning in the second quarter of 2001, and represents the amortization of discounts related to the warrants, placement fees, fees incurred for the extension of the debt, and accrued interest on the Notes. On June 28, 2002 the Company’s shareholders approved the potential issuance of up to 12,500,000 shares of common stock to its lenders. Prior to June 28, 2002, the Company had committed to issue 7,120,000 share of common stock to its lenders for debt extension. On July 23, 2002, the Company committed to issue 5,380,000 share of common stock to its lenders for debt extension. The fair value of the 12,500,000 shares, or $3,238,900, accounts for most of the increase in interest expense over the comparable period in the prior year.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. Under SFAS No. 145, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt shall be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet certain criteria for classification as extraordinary items in APB Opinion No. 30. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and also makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements that are not substantive in nature. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. All other provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. This amendment and other issues addressed in SFAS No. 145 are not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146, addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for an exit cost or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, whereas under EITF No. 94-3, a liability was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected to have a material impact on our operations.
 
We adopted SFAS 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on January 1, 2002 and there was no impact.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Our liquidity at September 30, 2002 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $47,520, which represents a decrease of $176,218 over our cash and cash equivalents of $223,738 as of December 31, 2001. Our current assets were $740,065 as of September 30, 2002, a decrease of $87,367 from our current assets of $827,432 as of December 31, 2001.
 
As of September 30, 2002, our total liabilities were $8,426,373, which was an increase of $4,089,335 from our total liabilities of $4,340,470 as of December 31, 2001. Substantially all of our liabilities are current, including debt from affiliates totaling $6,585,000, which is due December 31, 2002.


Table of Contents
Cash used in operating activities was $2,963,999 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, which was financed primarily by additional borrowings from affiliates of $2,857,500 (net of placement fees). In addition, on October 3, 2002 the Company reached agreement with its lenders to extend the due date of the 2001 Notes to December 31, 2002 and to confirm to the Company that no events of default existed. The Company agreed to issue an additional 5,300,000 shares to its lenders in consideration for the modification of terms. The fair value of these shares, $901,000, will be recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the modified debt. Cash used in operating activities was $5,451,363 less than our net loss, attributable primarily to non-cash interest expenses and net changes in working capital.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, we received an additional $750,000 in loans from an affiliate comprising part of the 2001 Notes and issued additional detachable five-year warrants to purchase 375,000 shares of our Common Stock at $0.30 per share, expiring on various dates in 2007, to such creditor as part of such financing. Such financing increased the total loans from such affiliates to $6,285,000 as of September 30, 2002. For a further description of this financing, see “Senior Secured Indebtedness Financing” in Item 2 of Part 2 of this Report.
 
Based on our current cash position, we believe that additional capital will be required by mid-November, 2002. We recently obtained financing proceeds from Lancer Offshore, Inc., an affiliate of our largest stockholder, which management believes is adequate to fund our operations at least through mid-November, 2002. Our agreement with Lancer Offshore, Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P. allowed for such loan to be increased to a current outstanding principal amount of $6,585,000 (an increase over the prior loan ceiling amount of $6,285,000). Although both lenders can agree to increase such loan again, provided we agree to do so, we cannot assure you of such mutual agreement. Since the $6,585,000 loan from such lenders matures on December 31, 2002, we are currently seeking funding from other sources.
 
See Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements for a discussion of the Company’s status as a going concern.
 
SUMMARY
 
While we believe that (i) a number of our pending proposals for projects or products will be accepted in whole or in part, (ii) we will develop additional sources of sales and (iii) we will derive substantial revenues therefrom, we cannot assure you that any such sales will be made or the amount thereof, although we anticipate that X-traWeb TM product sales will constitute the bulk of our revenues during the year 2003 and thereafter. We also believe that we will derive significant revenues from the sale of our proprietary radio products in the future, but we cannot assure you as to the amount of such sales or when such sales will occur.
 
In summary, we are fully aware that anticipated revenue increases from sales of our X-traWeb TM products and our proprietary radios are by no means assured, and that our requirements for capital are substantial. If significant revenues with adequate margins are not generated and/or the additional financing is not obtained, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued support from our lenders.

OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.     Legal Proceedings
 
On February 20, 2001 the Pinnacle Fund L.P., Barry M. Kitt and Tom and Denise Hunse filed a lawsuit against us with respect to the purchase of a total of 230,000 shares of our common stock at $3.00 per share in a private placement transaction in February 2000. The plaintiffs seek rescission of the transaction and/or damages, including treble damages, which they allege arise out of our failure to file a registration statement on or before December 31, 2000. The lawsuit is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. The case is in the discovery stage; the parties have exchanged documents and written responses to questions asked and depositions of the parties have been taken.
 
In December, 2001 the District Court in Utah approved the plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend their pleadings to commence a lawsuit against five individual defendants (David D. Singer, an officer-director, Donald I. Wallace, a former officer-director, Malcolm Thomas, a director, Charles Taylor, a director and a former officer, Kevin Childress) and to assert an additional cause of action against them for the underlying state law securities claim against the Company, and new causes of action against the Company for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and promissory estoppel, and a new cause of action for fraud against Mr. Singer. The Company and individual defendants filed answers to these new claims in the case.


Table of Contents
 
We believe that we have meritorious defenses to such action and intend to prosecute our defense of the action vigorously, but there can be no assurance as to the outcome thereof. We are vigorously contesting these new additional claims and believe we have meritorious defenses to these new claims, and the individual defendants named in the lawsuit are doing the same, although we cannot assure you of the result in such lawsuit.
 
ITEM 2.     Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
Senior Secured Indebtedness Financing
 
The Company modified its Senior Secured Convertible Notes during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, which had the general effect of increasing the equity amount needed for the mandatory conversion of such notes and extending the due date thereof until October 31, 2002. A detailed description of such financing through November 13, 2002 is set forth below, including the additional three-month extension of the maturity date of the 2001 Notes until December 31, 2002.
 
(a)    May 17, 2001 Financing
 
On May 17, 2001, the Company sold an investment unit consisting of (a) $2,250,000 principal amount of its Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “2001 Notes”) and (b) warrants to purchase 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to Lancer Offshore, Inc., an affiliate of the Company’s largest stockholder, in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), subject to the following terms and conditions.
 
1.  The 2001 Notes bear simple interest at the rate of 15% per annum and were to mature on September 15, 2001, unless they were mandatorily converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock prior to such date.
 
2.  Under the 2001 Notes, the Company received the principal amount of $1,125,000 on May 17, 2001 and the holder agreed to loan the additional amount of $1,125,000 on or before July 15, 2001, provided that the Company raised a minimum of $2,000,000 in equity from persons other than Michael Lauer and his affiliates, including Lancer Offshore Inc., Lancer Partners L.P., and The Orbiter Fund Ltd.
 
3.  The 2001 Notes are secured by a first security interest of substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its machinery, equipment, automobiles, fixtures, furniture, accounts receivable and general intangibles, including patents, patent applications and any stock in any subsidiary.
 
4.  Under the 2001 Notes, the Company and Lancer Offshore, Inc. may jointly agree to increase the amount of the loan to a total of $5,000,000 with a pro rata increase in the amount of Warrants issuable by the Company.
 
5.  The 2001 Notes were mandatorily convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the rate of $0.50 per share (i.e. one share for each $0.50 of debt) upon (i) our receipt of approval of our shareholders at a meeting of such conversion and (ii) our receipt of $2,000,000 in equity from persons other than Michael Lauer and his affiliates on or before December 31, 2001.
 
6.  The Company agreed to give Lancer Offshore, Inc. registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon conversion of the 2001 Notes and upon exercise of the warrants granted to it.
 
7.  Any event of default under the 2001 Notes will require the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock commencing with the month in which such default first occurs and thereafter in each such month in which such default is not cured, up to a maximum amount of 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.
 
8.  The warrants issued and potentially issuable to Lancer Offshore Inc. had an exercise price of $0.50 per share, expire on the fifth anniversary date of the date of issuance and may be exercised in whole or in part, but the shares subject thereto are issuable only upon the approval of such issuance by our shareholders at a meeting. The Company issued a warrant to purchase 562,500 shares of its Common Stock, expiring on May 16, 2006, as a result of the loan of $1,125,000 to us.
 
9.  The Company agreed to pay a finder’s fee to Capital Research Ltd. and Sterling Technology Partners of a total of 10% of the gross proceeds received by us on the sale of the 2001 Notes payable on each closing of a tranche of the financing under the 2001 Notes.
 
10.  In the event of a default, the lender has as an additional remedy the right to convert its outstanding obligations into shares of Common Stock at the rate of one share for each $0.20 of debt in full satisfaction of such obligations.


Table of Contents
 
On May 17, 2001, the average of the high and low price per share of the Company’s Common Stock was $0.675, which was higher than the conversion rate of one share for each $0.50 of debt and the exercise price of each warrant of $0.50 per share.
 
(b)  August 7, 2001 Financing
 
The Company failed to meet the conditions described in item 2 above on the May 17, 2001 financing by July 15, 2001. As a result, on August 7, 2001, Lancer Partners L.P., another affiliate of our largest stockholder, agreed to loan us an additional $875,000 as part of the 2001 Notes on the following terms and conditions:
 
1.  Lancer Partners L.P. agreed to loan the Company the additional amount of $350,000 on August, 2001 provided our Board approved the terms of the August 7, 2001 financing (which it did). The Company issued an additional 2001 Note for the $350,000 loan.
 
2.  Lancer Partners L.P. agreed to loan the Company $275,000 on or about September 15, 2001 and $250,000 on or about October 15, 2001, provided that the Company raised a minimum of $1,500,000 in equity from persons other than Michael Lauer and his affiliates, including Lancer Offshore Inc., Lancer Partners L.P. and The Orbiter Fund Ltd., on or before September 15, 2001. Each of these additional loans would mature on December 15, 2001 unless mandatorily converted into shares of our Common Stock.
 
3.  This tranche of $875,000 comprising the 2001 Notes is mandatorily convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the rate of $0.20 per share (i.e. one share for each $0.20 of debt) upon (a) the receipt of approval of our stockholders at a meeting of such conversion and (b) our receipt of $2,000,000 of equity from non–Lancer entities or affiliates by December 31, 2001.
 
4.  The Company agreed to issue additional warrants to purchase up to an additional 562,500 shares of our Common Stock if the entire $875,000 is loaned by Lancer Partners L.P. to the Company. As a result of the $350,000 loan made on August 7, 2001, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an additional 225,000 shares of our Common Stock, expiring on August 6, 2006, at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.
 
5.  The Company agreed as a condition to the August 7, 2001 financing to reduce its operating budget to a monthly burn rate (i.e. the excess of its expenditures over revenues received, in each case determined on a cash basis) of not greater than $250,000 effective September 1, 2001 and to curtail all its discretionary spending of funds until additional equity is raised.
 
6.  The Company agreed to provide Lancer Partners L.P. with fully executed loan agreements, Uniform Commercial Code and other filings and warrant agreements by August 15, 2001, which were executed and delivered by both parties on August 21, 2001.
 
7.  The terms set forth in the May 17, 200 financing described in 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 apply with the same force and effect to the August 7, 2001 financing.
 
In addition, under the August 7, 2001 financing, the Company agreed to amend the May 17, 2001 financing as follows:
 
(i)  The $1,125,000 principal amount comprising a portion of the 2001 Notes became mandatorily convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the rate of $0.20 per share (i.e. one share for each $0.20 of debt);
 
(ii)  The Company agreed to give Lancer Offshore Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P. full anti–dilution protection in the event the Company sold shares of its Common Stock at a price of less than $0.20 per share during the one–year period commencing on May 12, 2001;
 
(iii)  The exercise price of the warrant to purchase 562,500 shares of our Common Stock was reduced to $0.30 per share which term will also apply to any additional warrants issued in such the financing transactions; and
 
(iv)  The maximum amount of shares of our Common Stock issuable in the event of continuing monthly defaults was increased to 12,500,000 from 10,000,000.
 
On August 7, 2001, the average of the high and low price per share of the Company’s Common Stock was $0.38, which was higher than the conversion rate of one share for each $0.20 of debt and the exercise price of each warrant at $0.30 per share.

(c)  September, 2001 Financing
 
The Company failed to meet the condition described in Item 2 above on the August 7, 2001 financing by September 15, 2001. Despite such failure, Lancer Partners L.P. loaned the Company an additional $100,000 and $175,000 on September 6, 2001 and September 18, 2001, respectively, which loans mature on December 15, 2001. As a result thereof, the Company issued a separate note comprising part of the 2001 Notes to such party (which collectively are mandatorily convertible into 1,375,000 shares of our Common Stock at $0.20 per share) and also issued a warrant to purchase 87,500 shares of our Common Stock at $0.30 per share.
 
In addition, the parties amended the August 7, 2001 financing as follows:
 
(i)  The maturity date of the two tranches of the 2001 Notes totaling $1,475,000 in principal amount was extended from September 15, 2001 until October 15, 2001; and
 
(ii)  The creditors extended the time for the Company to raise $1,500,000 until October 15, 2001 as a condition to the issuance of the $250,000 loan on or about October 15, 2001.
 
Also, the holders of the 2001 Notes acknowledged that there was no default of any kind as of September 14, 2001.
 
On September 8, 2001 and September 16, 2001, the average of the high and low price per share of the Company’s Common Stock was $0.255 and $0.235, respectively, which was higher than the conversion rate of one share for each $0.20 of debt, but lower than the exercise price of each warrant at $0.30 per share.
 
(d)  October and November, 2001 Financing
 
The Company again failed to meet the condition to raise additional equity financing of $1,500,000 on or before October 15, 2001. Despite such failure, Lancer Partners L.P. loaned the Company an additional $25,000 (bringing its total loan to the Company to $650,000 in principal amount) and Lancer Offshore, Inc. loaned the Company an additional $85,000 on October 3, 2001, $175,000 on October 9, 2001, $175,000 on October 29, 2001 and $1,000,000 on November 14, 2001 (bringing its total loan to the Company to $2,560,000 in principal amount), or a total loan from such parties of $3,210,000. As a result, the Company issued separate notes comprising part of the 2001 Notes and issued additional warrants to such parties to purchase 730,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, expiring in each case on a date in 2006 five years after the date of their respective issuance.
 
In addition, the parties agreed on November 14, 2001 to amend the entire 2001 Note financing as follows:
 
(i)  The entire principal amount of $3,210,000 comprising the 2001 Notes became mandatorily convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the rate of one share for each $0.05 of debt (A) upon our receipt of approval of our shareholders at a meeting of such conversion and (B) upon our receipt of $3,210,000 in equity from sources other than Michael Lauer, Lancer Offshore, Inc., Lancer Partners L.P. and The Orbiter Fund Ltd. on or before February 28, 2002.
 
(ii)  The maturity date of the entire principal amount of $3,210,000 comprising the 2001 Notes was extended until February 28, 2002 (unless mandatorily converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock prior to such date);
 
(iii)  The amount of shares issuable in the event of a default was then increased to 1,605,000 shares of our Common Stock for each month in which a default exists and continuing until such default is cured, up to a maximum of 12,500,000 shares;
 
(iv)  The Company agreed to give Lancer Offshore Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P. full anti-dilution protection in the event the Company sold shares of its Common Stock at a price less than $0.05 per share during the one-year period commencing on November 14, 2001 (which was changed from May 12, 2001); and
 
(v)  The finders fee payable on the transaction was increased by requiring the Company to issue a five–year warrant to Capital Research Ltd. to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, which expires on November 13, 2006.
 
(e)  January and February, 2002 Financing
 
Lancer Offshore, Inc. loaned the Company an additional $350,000 on January 25, 2002 and $250,000 on February 8, 2002 (bringing its total loan to the Company to $3,160,000 in principal amount). As a result, the Company issued separate notes


Table of Contents
comprising part of the 2001 Notes and issued additional warrants to Lancer Offshore, Inc. to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, expiring in each case on a date in 2007 five years after the date of their respective issuance.
 
In addition, the parties agreed on January 25, 2002 to amend the entire 2001 Note financing as follows:
 
(i)  The entire principal amount of $3,810,000 comprising the 2001 Notes became mandatorily convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the rate of one share for each $0.05 of debt (A) upon our receipt of approval of our shareholders at a meeting of such conversion and (B) upon our receipt of $3,810,000 in equity from sources other than Michael Lauer, Lancer Offshore, Inc., Lancer Partners L.P. and The Orbiter Fund Ltd. on or before February 28, 2002.
 
(ii)  The amount of shares issuable in the event of a default was now increased to 1,780,000 shares of our Common Stock for each month in which a default exists and continuing until such default is cured, up to a maximum of 12,500,000 shares; and
 
(iii)  The Company agreed to give Lancer Offshore Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P. full anti–dilution protection in the event the Company sold shares of its Common Stock at a price less than $0.05 per share during the one–year period commencing on the date of the making of the last loan from such parties to the Company (which was changed from November 14, 2001 to February 8, 2002).
 
(f)  March, 2002 Financing
 
Lancer Offshore, Inc. loaned the Company an additional $200,000 on March 8, 2002 (bringing its total loan to the Company to $3,360,000 in principal amount) and Lancer Partners L.P. loaned the Company an additional $100,000 on March 11, 2002 and $150,000 on March 27, 2002 (bring its total loan to the Company to $900,000 in principal amount). As a result, the Company issued separate notes comprising part of the 2001 Notes and issued additional warrants to Lancer Offshore, Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P. to purchase 100,000 shares and 125,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, expiring in each case on a date in 2007, five years after the date of their respective issuance.
 
In addition, the parties agreed on February 28, 2002 to amend the entire 2001 Note financing as follows:
 
(i)  The maturity date of the entire principal amount of $3,810,000 comprising the 2001 Notes was extended until June 30, 2002 (unless mandatorily converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock prior to such date).
 
(ii)  The entire principal amount of $3,810,000 comprising the 2001 Notes became mandatorily convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the rate of one share to $0.05 of debt (A) upon our receipt of approval of our shareholders at a meeting of such conversion (which was given on March 15, 2002) and (B) upon our receipt of $3,810,000 in equity from sources other than Michael Lauer and his affiliates, including, without limitation, Lancer Offshore, Inc., Lancer Partners L.P. and The Orbiter Fund Ltd., on or before June 30, 2002.
 
(iii)  The Company agreed to issue 7,120,000 shares of its Common Stock to Lancer Offshore, Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P., to be divided pro rata between them based on their respective share of the total loans of $3,810,000 to us as of February 28, 2002, subject to the approval of such issuance by our stockholders at a meeting in accordance with applicable American Stock Exchange rules. In the event that (i) such stockholder approval is not obtained on or before July 31, 2002 or (ii) the Company fails to issue such shares within 30 days after such approval is obtained due to its fault, the Company agreed to pay the sum of $356,000 to such creditors, pro rata as set forth above, in full satisfaction thereof, with such payment to be made within 30 days after the later to occur of such two events.

(l)  November, 2002 Financing
 
Lancer Offshore, Inc. loaned the Company an additional $50,000 on November 13, 2002 (bringing its total loan to the Company to $5,385,000). As a result, the Company issued a note comprising part of the 2001 Notes and issued an additional warrant to Lancer Offshore, Inc. to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, expiring on November 12, 2007.
 
In addition, the parties agreed on November 13, 2002 to amend the entire 2001 Note financing as follows:
 
The entire principal amount of $6,585,000 comprising the 2001 Notes is now mandatorily convertible into shares of our Common Stock at the rate of one share for each $0.05 of debt (A) upon our receipt of approval of our shareholders at a meeting of such conversion (which was given on March 15, 2002, up to then applicable ceiling amount of $5,000,000) and (B) upon our receipt of $6,585,000 in equity from sources other than Michael Lauer and his affiliates, including, without limitation, Lancer Offshore, Inc., Lancer Partners L.P. and the Orbiter Fund Ltd., on or before December 31, 2002.
 
On and after October 1, 2001, on the date of the issuance of each of the additional notes comprising part of the 2001 Notes and the warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock, the average of the high and low price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock was higher than the conversion rate of each Note in question, and, at times, was higher or lower than the exercise price of each Warrant.
 
(m)  American Stock Exchange Rules
 
Under applicable American Stock Exchange Rules, we are required to obtain the approval of our stockholders if we propose to issue shares of our Common Stock (i) to a controlling stockholder at a per share price less than the market value thereof and (ii) such issuance involves an amount of shares that is more than 5% of the number of the corporation’s then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in any one year. Such rule applies to our recent financing transaction with Lancer Offshore, Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P Accordingly, we obtained the approval of our stockholders at a special meeting held on March 15, 2002 in order to permit the mandatory conversion of the 2001 Notes owned by Lancer Offshore, Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P. into shares of our Common Stock (up to the then applicable ceiling amount of $5,000,000), and the issuance of the shares of our Common Stock upon the exercise of the warrants granted to Lancer Offshore, Inc. and Lancer Partners L.P. (up to the then applicable amount of 2,500,000 shares) in connection with the above financing, which approval satisfies one of the two conditions to the mandatory conversion of the 2001 Notes.
 
We contemplate that we will seek stockholder approval for the balance of any shares issuable pursuant to such financing to the extent that such approval has not yet been obtained.
 
(n)  Risk of Default Under Our Senior Secured Indebtedness
 
While we are attempting to raise the amount needed in additional equity as a further condition for the mandatory


Table of Contents
conversion of the 2001 Notes into our shares of Common Stock or to pay the 2001 Notes in whole or in part and thereby eliminate or reduce the extent of the mandatory conversion of the 2001 Notes, we cannot assure you of such result. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will not commit a default under the 2001 Notes in the future when they mature on December 31, 2002. In the event that the holders of the 2001 Notes sell our assets securing the 2001 Notes following any future default by us, a remedy available under the 2001 Notes, such sale would materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition
 
ITEM 4.    Controls and Procedures
 
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14 and 15d – 14). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. However, such officers noted there had been a prior deficiency in the reporting of certain agreements which were not correctly disclosed by the Company. The Company has taken corrective action in this area by requiring, among other things, the timely reporting of any such agreement to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the disclosure controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
 
ITEM 5.     Other Events
 
1.  We made sales of shares of our securities during the third quarter of 2002, each of which is exempt from registration under the Act, as set forth below:
 
(a)  As of July 23, 2002, we issued (i) a Senior Secured Note in the principal amount of $300,000 (described immediately above) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, expiring on July 22, 2007, to Lancer Offshore, Inc., an affiliate of our largest stockholder. We believe that Lancer Offshore, Inc. is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D issued under the Act. We issued such securities in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Act.
 
(b)  As of August 20, 2002, we issued (i) a Senior Secured Note in the principal amount of $300,000 (described immediately above) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, expiring on August 19, 2007, to Lancer Offshore, Inc., an affiliate of our largest stockholder. We believe that Lancer Offshore, Inc. is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D issued under the Act. We issued such securities in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Act.
 
(c)  As of September 4, 2002, we issued (i) a Senior Secured Note in the principal amount of $150,000 (described immediately above) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, expiring on September 3, 2007, to Lancer Offshore, Inc., an affiliate of our largest stockholder. We believe that Lancer Partners L.P. is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D issued under the Act. We issued such securities in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Act.
 
2.  Business Software Alliance (“BSA”), a trade association, asserted a claim against us during May, 2002 alleging that we had without authorization or license installed on our computers unlicensed copies of certain products published by members of BSA (in this case, Adobe Systems Incorporated and Microsoft Corporation), and that such unauthorized use constituted copyright infringement under the Federal Copyright Act. BSA alleged that we could be held liable for statutory damages on a per product basis of between $30,000 and $150,000 per product, plus reasonable attorneys fees and court costs.
 
We and BSA agreed to settle such claims by our payment of the sum of $54,710 in three unequal installments and our purchase of new software for the items in question. We expect such settlement agreement to be signed by BSA in the near future, although we cannot assure you of such result. If such settlement is achieved amicably, our liability thereunder will not have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. If such settlement is not achieved and the matter were litigated and we lost such litigation, such loss would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
