NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared by EpicEdge, Inc. (the "Company" or "EpicEdge") pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding
interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2001 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K. The accompanying condensed financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) that are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results
for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

2. Amortization of Goodwill and Other Purchased Intangible Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which revises the accounting for
purchased goodwill and intangible assets, became effective for the Company
on January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill, with balances of
$460,000 at September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, and intangibles
with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for
impairment annually and also in the event of an impairment indicator.

The Company assessed the carrying value of its goodwill in the third
quarter of 2002. No further impairment was required at September 30, 2002.

The Company's net loss on a pro forma basis, assuming the cessation of
goodwill amortization as required under SFAS No. 142 had been in effect
from January 1, 2001 is as follows:

3. Notes Payable and Financial Restructuring

In February 2001, the Company adopted a strategy and a plan of execution
to reduce its workforce and other costs in order to stabilize the
organization.

The Company hired a consulting group to assist in designing and executing
a repayment plan (the "Plan") with its unsecured creditors. This Plan,
which was executed in June 2001, after achieving an acceptable percentage
of consents from the unsecured creditors, was designed to repay this group
over time either in-full for those creditors whose balance was $5,000 or
less, or who were willing to accept $5,000 as full payment, or up to 60%
of $3,094,000, which represented the original unsecured accounts payable
amount as of February 1, 2001. The Plan further provided that, if
sufficient cash was available, the Company could pay a total of 30% of the
original unsecured accounts payable amount by December 31, 2001, and this
total amount would fully and completely satisfy the Company's obligations
to the unsecured creditors.


Page 6

Substantial payments were made to the unsecured creditors of the Company
during 2001 in accordance with the Plan. The then remaining balance of
$1,049,000 would be paid quarterly at four (4%) percent of the original
balance through June 2004, unless the remaining unsecured creditors agree
to a lesser amount over a shorter time. As a result of settlement
agreements and other legal causes of action by our unsecured creditors,
during the third quarter 2002 it was necessary to reverse some
extraordinary gain recognized in previous quarters. The reversal of
extraordinary gain in the third quarter 2002 of $58,000 resulted in a net
extraordinary loss of $56,000 and $11,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002, respectively.

In June 2001, the Company began negotiations with certain existing
stockholders and convertible debt holders for additional funding to
provide the ability to execute on the unsecured creditor payment plan (see
above), pay or renegotiate legacy expenses, and provide working capital to
execute on the current operating plan of the Company. Although the final
documents were not executed until April 2002, the Company received
$1,050,000 as of December 31, 2001 as interim bridge financing in the form
of convertible promissory notes ("June Convertible Notes"). The Company
received additional funding under the June Convertible Notes of $860,000,
$1,240,000 and $500,000 during the first, second and third quarters of
2002, respectively.

On April 16, 2002, we entered into a Note and Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement with Edgewater, Fleck T.I.M.E., DeJoria and Locke (the "Note
Agreement") that finalized the terms on these June convertible notes,
subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained at the 2002 Annual
Meeting held in July 2002. The total amount to be received under these
June convertible notes was to be a minimum of $2,650,000 up to a maximum
of $4,500,000 ($3,650,000 of which has been received as of September 30,
2002). Upon receiving shareholder approval of the amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation, which was obtained at the 2002 Annual Meeting,
$2,150,000 of these June convertible notes, including accrued but unpaid
interest of $194,000 at September 30, 2002, was converted into shares of
Series B Preferred Stock.

The additional $1,500,000 (the "Edgewater Special Debt") of the June
convertible notes could have been converted into Series B Preferred Stock
at the sole election of the holder, Edgewater. However, in November 2002,
we entered into a Term Sheet with intentions of entering into a Series B-1
Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "B-1 Note Agreement")
with Edgewater whereby Edgewater will have the option to convert the
entire outstanding principal balance of the Edgewater Special Debt,
including an additional $500,000 funded under the June 2001 Convertible
Notes during October and November of 2002, plus accrued interest into
shares of our Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B-1
Preferred Stock"). It is anticipated that the B-1 Note Agreement will be
subject to certain closing conditions. As part of the B-1 Note Agreement,
the Company intends to issue Edgewater a warrant to purchase up to
1,333,333 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock at an exercise price of
$.01 per share.

The $2,000,000 outstanding balance of these June Convertible Notes is due
April 16, 2003, and has a stated interest rate of 8%. Additional features
of the June Convertible Notes are that they are secured, until converted,
by all investments, accounts receivable, inventory and property, subject
only to a first lien and have demand registration rights. According to a
covenant in the Note Agreement, the Company may not redeem or repurchase
any shares of company capital stock other than pursuant to equity
incentive agreements with employees and service providers, the Articles of
Incorporation and the Note Agreement. We anticipate that the maturity for
the outstanding balance of the June Convertible Notes will be extended
until January 2004 in connection with the execution of the B-1 Note
Agreement.

Also on April 16, 2002, the terms of $5,000,000 July Convertible Notes
with Edgewater Private Equity Fund III, L.P. and Fleck T.I.M.E. Fund, L.P.
were renegotiated, subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained at
the 2002 Annual Meeting (see Note 4). Under the new terms of the
$5,000,000 July Convertible Notes, the principal and accrued interest of
$1,058,000 at September 30, 2002 are to be converted into Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and were amended to mature on April 16, 2003.

Additionally, on April 16, 2002, the principal and accrued interest
($149,000 at September 30, 2002) on $1,000,000 of the December Convertible
Notes (see Note 4) are also to be converted into Series A Preferred Stock,
and 2,000,000 of the warrants issued along with the December Convertible
Notes were


Page 7

relinquished. Also, the holders of the $1,000,000 of the December
Convertible Notes have waived any defaults and all events of default under
that agreement.

In conjunction with and as part of the conditions prior to executing the
final documents, the June Convertible Notes required that terms of the
November Convertible Notes be renegotiated. On April 16, 2002, the Company
renegotiated the November Convertible Notes, as amended, ($958,000 at
September 30, 2002) such that the November Convertible Notes bear annual
interest at the rate of 8%, are convertible at the lender's option into
the Company's common stock at $.25 per share and mature on December 1,
2004. In addition, the June convertible notes required that the 2,000,000
warrants that were issued along with the November Convertible Notes be
relinquished and that the Company enter into a share return agreement with
three stockholders, one of whom is the former Chairman, a major
stockholder, and the holder of the November Convertible Notes, for the
return of a total of 10,295,210 shares. Both of these additional
requirements were completed as of December 31, 2001.

Also on April 16, 2002, of the remaining $500,000 under the December
Convertible Notes, $300,000 was due and was paid in April 2002 and the
remaining $221,000, consisting of remaining principle and accrued and
unpaid interest as of April 2002, plus any additional accrued and unpaid
interest ($7,800 at September 30, 2002) is to be paid by January 10, 2003.
The remaining 1,000,000 warrants for common stock at $0.01 per share that
were issued in conjunction with this portion of the December Convertible
Notes are not relinquished and therefore remain in effect.

As discussed above, as part of the transactions on April 16, 2002, certain
convertible notes were exchanged for Series A and Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock on November 11, 2002. Upon completion of the B-1 Note
Agreement, Edgewater will have the option to convert the Edgewater Special
Debt of the June Convertible Notes into Series B-1 Convertible Preferred
Stock and therefore will remain outstanding as debt in the pro-forma (see
Note 4).

The following table summarizes the convertible notes payable at September
30, 2002 and the pro-forma effects of the conversion (see Note 4). These
convertible notes are described and classified as current or long-term
based upon contractual maturities, as amended in April 2002.

4. Preferred Stock Transactions and related Pro-forma Effects

In accordance with the Note Agreement, certain convertible notes were
converted into approximately 9,609,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
and approximately 3,126,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock as of
September 30, 2002 at the Equity Closing. An amendment to our Articles of
Incorporation was approved by the shareholders at our 2002 Annual Meeting
that increased the number of authorized Preferred Stock to permit the
conversion of the notes referred to in the Note Agreement.

The Series A Preferred Stock has the following terms: a conversion rate
equal to one share of common stock for each $.75 of stated value or a
liquidation preference such that in the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of EpicEdge, the holders thereof shall be
entitled to receive, at their option, either: (a) in preference to the
holders of the common stock and on a pro-rated


Page 8

pari passu basis with the Series B Preferred Stock, an amount equal to
2.75 times the stated value, or (b) a ratable share of the distribution of
assets and property with the holders of the common stock, participating on
an as converted basis, if a liquidation event occurs within 24 months. If,
however, a liquidation event occurs after 24 months, the preference
multiple becomes 3 times the stated value. The Series A Preferred Stock
shall have a stated value of $.75. A merger or sale of capital stock in
which our shareholders do not own a majority of the outstanding shares of
the surviving corporation or sale of all or substantially all of our
assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation.

The Series B Preferred Stock has the following terms: a conversion rate
equal to one share of common stock for each $.25 of stated value or a
liquidation preference such that in the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of EpicEdge, the holders thereof shall be
entitled to receive, at their option, either: (a) in preference to the
holders of the common stock and on a pro-rated pari passu basis with the
Series A Preferred Stock, an amount equal to 2.75 times the stated value,
or (b) a ratable share of the distribution of assets and property with the
holders of the common stock, participating on an as converted basis, if a
liquidation event occurs within 24 months. If, however, a liquidation
event occurs after 24 months, the preference multiple becomes 3 times the
stated value. In addition, if the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
choose upon a liquidation event to receive the liquidation preference
multiple in effect at the time of the event and there still remains
undistributed new equity value after any debt obligations and Series A
Preferred Stock liquidating preference payments, then the Series B
Preferred Stock will participate in that additional distribution on an as
converted basis at a conversion rate equal to one share of common stock
for each $.75 of stated value. The Series B Preferred Stock shall have a
stated value of $.75. A merger or sale of capital stock in which our
shareholders do not own a majority of the outstanding shares of the
surviving corporation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets
shall be deemed to be a liquidation.

It is anticipated that the Series B-1 Preferred Stock will have the
following terms: a conversion rate equal to one share of common stock for
each $.25 of stated value or a liquidation preference such that in the
event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of EpicEdge, the
holders thereof shall be entitled to receive, at their option, either: (a)
senior to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock and in preference to common stock, an amount equal to 3.5
times the original Series B-1 Preferred Stock purchase price per share
(the "Series B-1 Preference") and a ratable share of the distribution of
assets and property with the holders of Common Stock at a conversion price
of $0.75 per share, or (b) a ratable share of the distribution of assets
and property with the holders of common stock, participating on an as
converted basis at $0.25 per share. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall
have a stated value of $.75. The holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock
will have the right to convert shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, at
the option of each holder thereof, at any time, into shares of common
stock at a conversion price equal to one share of common stock for each
$0.25 of stated value if the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock
elect not to take the Series B-1 Preference. If the holders of the Series
B-1 Preferred Stock take the Series B-1 Preference, the conversion price
will be $0.75 per share. The total number of shares of common stock into
which such shares may be converted initially will be determined by
dividing the aggregate original Series B-1 Preferred Stock purchase price
of $.75 plus accrued interest, by the conversion price. The initial
conversion price for the Series B-1 Stock will be $0.25 or $0.75 (if the
holders of the Series B-1 Stock take the Series B-1 Preference), as the
case may be. A merger or sale of capital stock in which our shareholders
do not own a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving
corporation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets shall be
deemed to be a liquidation.

All of the preferred stock has anti-dilution protection that will adjust
the conversion price of each series to increase the number of shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of preferred stock
if, and to the extent, we issue additional securities at a price per share
lower than the conversion price of each such series of preferred stock.
The adjustment will be based upon a broad-based, weighted average formula
that increases the conversion rate based upon the number of new securities
issued and the extent to which such securities were issued below the
conversion price of each series of preferred.

On July 12, 2002, the Company held the 2002 Annual Meeting of
shareholders. In addition to the election of the members of the Board of
Directors and the


Page 9

appointment of the independent auditors for the 2002 fiscal year, several
proposals were voted on that allowed for the approval and conversion of
the Note Agreement. The shareholders approved all proposals.

The accompanying unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2002,
includes the pro-forma effects of the debt conversion had it occurred as
of September 30, 2002. The pro-forma effects would be additional preferred
stock of $9,242,000, which would be a result of the following:

a) the conversion of current debt of $8,150,000 to preferred
equity,

b) the conversion of accrued and unpaid interest on the converted
debt of $1,401,000, and

c) a reduction for legal and professional fees of $309,000
relating to the Note Agreement.

The following table summarizes the convertible notes payable at September
30, 2002 and the pro-forma equivalent of both the convertible preferred
stock that was issued at the Equity Closing, and the potential additional
common stock outstanding that would result from the conversion of the
convertible preferred stock:

on these notes through September 30, 2002, all of which amounts were
converted into the respective shares of preferred stock on November

additional interest accrued from October 1, 2002 through November
11, 2002 in the aggregate amount of $100,000. This additional
interest converted into 47,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
and 86,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per basic share is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per
share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued
assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive shares outstanding. Stock
options, warrants, and convertible notes were excluded from the
calculation of the loss per share


Page 10

because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The antidilutive effects
excluded from net loss per share computation at September 30 were as
follows:

6. Other New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2001, SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", was issued, which addresses the
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived
assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30,
"Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of
a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions", for the disposal of a segment of a
business. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and does not
believe that the adoption of SFAS 144 will have a significant impact on
its financial statements.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections, which rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and
Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that Statement,
FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements. The Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No.
44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. The Statement
amends FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an
inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback
transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications
that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback
transactions. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 145 in January and will
reclassify certain extraordinary items upon adoption of this statement.

In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities", was issued, which 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)."
The Company is required to adopt this standard in January 2003.

7. Legal Proceedings

The Company was notified by the SEC Staff that the SEC is conducting an
investigation into (1) the trading activity of certain individuals and
entities in the Company's securities and the securities of other companies
during the period 1999 and 2000, and (2) certain actions of the Company
during that same period. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the
SEC to the extent it requests information. At this time, management is
unable to predict the outcome of this investigation with certainty. The
Company could become subject to an order enjoining the Company from
unlawful conduct and incur civil monetary penalties as a result of the
investigation. Such penalties could have a material adverse effect on the
Company and its operations or financial condition.

The Company has several lawsuits pending against it. One involves a former
employee who alleges the Company wrongfully prohibited him from selling
company stock. Damages alleged are $2,715,630. The former employee claims
that


Page 11

through the acts and/or omissions of the company and other named parties
of the suit, the company and other named parties failed to give correct
and truthful information that he needed before he could sell his stock.

Another suit involves breach of contract. The Company filed suit on May
31, 2001 against Reliant Energy seeking specified damages in the amount of
$973,804 plus costs and attorneys fees. On October 28, 2002, Reliant
Resources, Inc. sent a demand letter in connection with this case stating
that the Company breached a written contract with Reliant Resources, Inc.
for the delivery of a system and demanding payment of $657,000 plus
expenses. The Company is currently waiting on a ruling on a request for
continuance.

The Company believes it has good and meritorious defenses against these
claims and plans to defend itself vigorously. While the outcome of this
litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that it
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
statements. However, an unfavorable outcome of this litigation could have
a material adverse effect.

8. 2002 Stock Option Plan

The Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Option Plan on April 16, 2002,
subject to its approval by shareholders, which was obtained at the 2002
Annual Meeting. The 2002 Option Plan is intended to supplement the 1999
Stock Option Plan. A total of 10,371,311 shares are reserved under the
2002 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2002 Stock Option Plan, 9,672,648
options were approved by the Board of Directors and granted to current
executives and key employees at an exercise price range of $0.10 to $0.24
during the third quarter of 2002.

The Board of Directors believes that EpicEdge must offer a competitive
equity incentive program if it is to continue to successfully attract and
retain the best possible candidates for positions of responsibility within
EpicEdge. The Board expects that the 2002 Option Plan will be an important
factor in attracting and retaining the high caliber members of management
and key employees essential to the Company's success and in motivating
these individuals to strive to enhance the Company's growth and
profitability.

9. Bonus Plan

In April 2002, the Board voted to establish the EpicEdge, Inc. Bonus Plan
("Bonus Plan") for the benefit of the Company's management and employees.
The bonus pool payment ("Bonus Pool") will be equal to 10% of the
aggregate proceeds available for distribution to the preferred and common
shareholders (the "Proceeds Available") only upon a liquidation event and
only if the Proceeds Available exceeds $12 million (the "Measurement
Base"). The applicable percentage will increase by 1.25% for every
additional million dollars of Proceeds Available up to $20 million. If the
Proceeds Available does not equal or exceed $12 million, the applicable
percentage is zero %. If the Proceeds Available equals but is not greater
than $20 million, the applicable percentage is 20%. In addition, the Bonus
Pool shall increase by $200,000 for every $1 million of aggregate proceeds
available for distribution in excess of $20 million until the amount
available for distribution to preferred and common shareholders is greater
than $42 million. After such amount available for distribution exceeds $42
million, the Bonus Pool shall be reduced by $150,000 for every $1 million
of aggregate proceeds available for distribution until the Bonus Pool is
reduced to zero.

An individual who is awarded participation in the Bonus Pool vests 30% on
the date of the award and the remainder vests upon a liquidity event if
the individual is employed by the Company immediately prior to such
liquidity event. However, if an individual voluntarily resigns or is
terminated for cause, all interests in the Bonus Pool granted to such
individual will expire and be forfeited. Similarly, if the individual is
terminated for anything other than cause, all unvested interests in the
Bonus Pool will terminate and be forfeited. Percentages of the Bonus Pool
will be allocated from time to time to management and employees of the
Company at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer as approved by
the Board of Directors. The entire Bonus Pool will be allocated in full
upon a liquidity event.

Management has determined that this Bonus Plan has a potential
compensation component in that it contains a contingent obligation of the
Company that will be recognized when and if 1) the estimated Proceeds
Available exceeds the Measurement Base, as defined above, and 2) a
liquidity event, as defined in the Bonus Plan, is judged to be probable.
Management has concluded that neither of


Page 12

these two events has occurred and therefore no compensation adjustment is
required as of September 30, 2002 under the Bonus Plan.

10. AMEX Notice

On May 28, 2002, we received notice from the American Stock Exchange,
("AMEX" or "the Exchange"), indicating that we are not in compliance with
certain of the Exchange's continued listing standards with our
shareholders' equity below $2 million and due to losses from continuing
operations and/or net losses in the two of our three most recent fiscal
years, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the AMEX Company Guide. We
were afforded an opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the
Exchange and on June 26, 2002 we presented our plan to the Exchange. On
July 30, 2002 the Exchange notified us that it accepted our plan of
compliance and granted us an extension of time to regain compliance with
the continued listing standards until March 31, 2003. We will be subject
to periodic reviews by the Exchange during the extension period. Failure
to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with
the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could
result in our being delisted from the American Stock Exchange.

Notwithstanding the terms of the July 30, 2002 letter from the AMEX, the
Exchange has advised us that consistent with its obligations and
responsibilities as a self-regulatory organization, it is authorized to
initiate immediate delisting proceedings as appropriate in the public
interest. Therefore, despite compliance with the submitted plan, the AMEX
may decide to delist our common stock based on our non-compliance with
AMEX rules or our financial condition. In addition, we have not received
final approval from the AMEX of the shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock issued in the
Equity Closing. As a result of the above factors, we can give no
assurances that our securities will not be delisted from trading by AMEX.
However, the Company is evaluating the efficacy of continued listing on
the AMEX and may consider delisting itself from the exchange whether or
not the Company continues to make progress towards its plan.

11. Subsequent Events

In November 2002, we entered into a Term Sheet with intentions of entering
into a Series B-1 Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "B-1
Note Agreement") with Edgewater whereby Edgewater will have the option to
convert the entire outstanding principal balance of the Edgewater Special
Debt, including an additional $500,000 funded under the June 2001
Convertible Notes during October and November of 2002, plus accrued
interest into shares of our Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series B-1 Preferred Stock"). It is anticipated that the B-1 Note
Agreement will be subject to certain closing conditions. As part of the
B-1 Note Agreement, the Company intends to issue Edgewater a warrant to
purchase up to 1,333,333 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock at an
exercise price of $.01 per share.

Also, on November 7, 2002, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"), whereby SVB agreed to loan us up to
$1,400,000. This facility includes a $1 million revolving line of credit
that is an accounts receivable based operating line of credit to support
short-term working capital requirements as well as a $400,000 term note.
At the closing of the loan, we used $400,000 from the term note facility
to extinguish the $856,000 balance and cure our secured loan from GE
Access that was in default since it was due on October 16, 2002. Until
January 10, 2003, approximately $234,000 of the revolving line of credit
is restricted. To date, we have not borrowed under the SVB line of credit,
and have $766,000 of borrowing ability remaining. Of the $1,400,000 credit
facility with SVB, $1,000,000 was guaranteed by Edgewater. The SVB debt is
secured by all of our assets. The line of credit is priced at prime plus
1% on a fully-floating basis and matures in twelve months. The advance
rate on the line is determined by the defined borrowing base, which is 80%
of eligible accounts receivable. The term loan is priced at 10% on a
fixed-rate basis. The term loan is fully amortizing and also matures in
one year.

On November 11, 2002, in accordance with the Note Agreement, we converted
$6,000,000 of convertible debt and the related accrued and unpaid interest
of $1,272,000 into 9,695,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
$2,150,000 of convertible debt and the related accrued and unpaid interest
of $230,089 into 3,173,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Overview

The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of
the Company should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial
statements, including the notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting management's
current forecast of certain aspects of our future. It is based on current
information that we have assessed but which by its nature is dynamic and subject
to rapid and even abrupt changes. Forward looking statements include statements
regarding future operating results, liquidity, capital expenditures, numbers of
personnel, strategic relationships with third parties, and strategy. The
forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as "plan,"
"estimate," "expect," "intend," "believe," "should," "would," "could,"
"anticipate" or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or
outcomes. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or
implied by our forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties
associated with our business. These risks are described throughout this Form
10-Q, which you should read carefully and in conjunction with our other filings
with the SEC. We would particularly refer you to the section of this Form 10-Q
under the heading "Investment Considerations" for an extended discussion of the
risks confronting our business. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q
should be considered in the context of these risk factors.

EpicEdge, Inc. is a publicly held Texas corporation listed on the American Stock
Exchange under the symbol "EDG." We were originally incorporated under the name
Loch Exploration, Inc. in June 1979. In April 1989, Loch Exploration filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and was reorganized in connection with a Plan of
Reorganization, effective November 17, 1989. In December 1998, Loch Exploration,
Inc. transferred all of its assets and liabilities to Loch Energy, Inc., in
exchange for shares of Loch Energy, Inc. common stock, whereby Loch Energy
became a subsidiary of Loch Exploration. In January 1999, Loch Exploration
acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Design Automation
Systems, Inc., a private company, in exchange for shares of common stock. In
April 1999, Design Automation was merged into Loch Exploration, and Loch
Exploration changed its name to Design Automation Systems Incorporated. In March
2000, we changed our name to EpicEdge, Inc. During the quarter ended September
30, 2000, we irrevocably transferred all of the shares of Loch Energy to a
designated trustee.

In 2001 and 2002, we engaged in the business of providing consulting services to
assist state and local government agencies, as well as commercial enterprises,
meet their business goals through implementation and support of client/server
and Internet-enabled PeopleSoft applications, custom Web application
development, and strategic consulting. We deliver successful IT project-based
services by combining the elements of market-leading products, highly skilled
technical personnel, and proven project methodologies. Our business technology
solutions help clients maximize their return on investment and lower their total
cost of ownership of their software.

Our services currently include guiding clients through the entire software
development life cycle of their projects, including the following: strategic
planning, project management, business process evaluation, integrated marketing
and communications, system architecture and design, product acquisition,
application hosting, configuration and implementation, ongoing operational
support, and evolutions in technology. We also focus our solutions on
application management and business process outsourcing. The majority of our
revenues was, and is expected to be, associated with providing project
management, consulting services, and software implementation to state and local
governments, including those in the States of Texas, Washington, California, and
New York.

===== ===== ===== =====


REVENUES

For the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2001, total revenues increased $813,000 or 18.2%, to
$5,270,000 from $4,457,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, total revenues increased
$1,516,000 or 13.2%, to $13,034,000 from $11,518,000. The increase in revenue is
due primarily to the addition of projects with new customers. Two customers
represented 42% and 52% of total revenues in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002, respectively; and the same two customers represented 60% and
58% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. Another
customer represented 14% and 11% of total revenues in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002, respectively. No other single customer represented 10%
or more of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001
and 2002.

COST OF REVENUES and GROSS PROFIT

For the three months ended September 30, 2002, total gross profit increased
45.7% to $1,962,000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001 of
$1,347,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, total gross profit
increased 29.6% to $4,514,000 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2001 of $3,484,000.

The gross margin percent from professional services increased 23.2% for the
three months ended September 30 from 30.2% in 2001 to 37.2% in 2002. The gross
margin percent for the nine months ended September 30 increased 14.6% from 30.2%
in 2001 to 34.6% in 2002. The increase in gross margin is a result of increased
utilization of billable staff partially offset by the increase in utilization of
subcontractors.


Page 15

OPERATING EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $106,000, or 12.5%, to
$955,000 from $849,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, and 2001,
respectively. However, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased $612,000, or 20.7%, from $2,963,000 to $2,351,000. In the
first quarter of 2001, a strategy and plan of execution was adopted to attempt
to stabilize the organization and return to positive cash flow and eventual
profitability. This strategy included a strict line-by-line review and
evaluation of non-compensation expenses. This strategy was closely monitored
throughout 2001 and continues into 2002. The decrease in expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 2001 is due primarily to a decrease in facilities as a result of closing
several offices beginning in 2001 and a decrease in recruiting and relocation
costs. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in legal expenses
during 2002. The increase in expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2002 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001 is due primarily
to the increase in legal expenses.

Compensation and benefit expenses increased $227,000, or 46.7%, to $713,000 from
$486,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively.
The increase is primarily due to the addition of personnel to support the
increase in revenues. We are continuously evaluating and analyzing various
aspects of the business for either current or potential future profitability. As
a result of this review process, during the third quarter of 2001, we made the
strategic decision to eliminate certain ancillary activities, most notably our
training division which further eliminated non-productive compensation and
associated overhead expenses. This third quarter 2001 reduction eliminated an
additional 16 full-time positions, or 14% of our workforce at that time. The
effect of this staff elimination is part of the reduction in compensation and
benefits experienced in the third quarter 2001. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
compensation and benefit expenses decreased $1,419,000, or 40.6%, to $2,078,000
from $3,497,000. This decrease is a result of effects of our stabilization and
reduction strategy that began in October 2000 with a reduction in our workforce
by 43 full-time positions, or 14% of our workforce at that time, as well as
another 15% reduction in our workforce in the Creative, Research and Sales
departments in the first quarter of 2001 and the 15% reduction in our workforce
in the third quarter 2001 discussed above coupled with controlled growth in
staff to maintain high utilization rates among our consulting staff and
effective use of our non-billable resources. Additionally, in August 2002, we
implemented a plan to reduce annual cost by $1 million, which included a
reduction in our workforce of 10 full-time positions, or 8% of our workforce at
that time. Due to the nature and timing of the execution of the plan, we expect
the associated cost reductions will be realized in the first quarter of 2003.
Due to these eventual reductions in compensation and benefits along with the
results of our continuing line-by-line review and evaluation of non-compensation
expenses, we may begin to be cash flow positive by the end of 2002; however, no
assurances can be made that these expense reductions will have the effect we
expect or occur in the timeframe we anticipate.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $270,000
and $810,000, respectively, compared to $234,000 and $702,000 for the same three
and nine months periods ended September 30, 2001. This increase is from the
depreciation on replacement computer equipment for our billable staff.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which revises the accounting for purchased
goodwill and intangible assets, became effective on January 1, 2002. Under SFAS
No. 142, goodwill, whose balance was $460,000 at September 30, 2002, with
indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment
annually and also in the event of an impairment indicator.

We assessed the carrying value of our goodwill in the third quarter of 2002 to
determine the complete impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142. No further
impairment was required at September 30, 2002.

Debt Discount Amortization

In November 2000, our former Chairman and major stockholder provided a
$1,000,000 line of credit to us in the form of convertible notes (the "November
Convertible Notes"). We were able to draw upon the line of credit from time to
time as needed. As of September 30, 2001, we had drawn $900,000 on the line of
credit. During September 2001, the unused balance of the Convertible Notes was
cancelled. The


Page 16

November Convertible Notes have an annual interest rate of 8%, were originally
convertible at the lenders' option at $.50 per share and were scheduled to
mature on December 31, 2001. The lender had the option to demand repayment of
the November Convertible Notes within 30 days after the IPS sale; however, the
lender made no such demand. In connection with the November Convertible Notes,
the lender was issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000
shares of our common stock at $.01 per share. We recorded debt discount of
$900,000 in connection with the issuance of the warrants, which resulted in a
net carrying value of zero for the November Convertible Notes. This discount was
amortized into interest expense over the life of the November Convertible Notes.
Debt discount amortization of $675,000 was recorded as interest expense through
August 2001. In August 2001, as a condition precedent to the Series A and Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock financings, we renegotiated the terms of the
November Convertible Notes (the "Amended November Convertible Notes") that
extended the maturity date, increased the conversion feature to $1.00 per share,
and cancelled the warrants. In exchange, we agreed to commence interest-only
payments to the lender based upon the principal and accrued interest as of
September 1, 2001. Upon cancellation of these warrants, the debt was brought to
its full value of $900,000 with the remaining unamortized portion of the debt
discount of $225,000 being offset to additional paid in capital. The November
Convertible Notes were amended as of April 16, 2002. The new terms are that the
Amended November Convertible Notes still bear an annual interest rate of 8%, are
convertible at the lenders' option into shares of our common stock at $.25 per
share and mature on December 1, 2004.

In December 2000, we issued $1,500,000 in convertible notes to two of our
stockholders (the "December Convertible Notes"), both of which formerly served
or had representatives serve on our Board of Directors. The December Convertible
Notes were originally convertible at the lenders' option at $.50 per share. The
December Convertible Notes bear interest at 8% per annum and originally matured
on December 31, 2001. The lenders had the option to demand repayment of the
December Convertible Notes within 30 days after the IPS sale. In connection with
the December Convertible Notes, the lenders were issued five-year warrants to
purchase an aggregate 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at $.01 per share. We
recorded debt discount of $1,500,000 in connection with the issuance of the
warrants, which resulted in a net carrying value of zero for the December
Convertible Notes. This discount was amortized into interest expense over the
life of the December Convertible Notes. This debt discount was fully amortized
as of December 31, 2001 and amortization of $1,300,000 was recorded as interest
expense in 2001. Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock
issued with the December Convertible Notes were relinquished on April 16, 2002.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$262,000 and $775,000, respectively compared to $289,000 and $592,000 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. Although this is
an increase of $183,000 for the nine months in 2002 over 2001, in 2001 there was
$2.4 million of debt that had warrants issued in conjunction with the debt and
this caused the debt to be recorded at a net carrying value of zero (see above).
As a result, the interest that would have normally been associated with these
debt instruments was reflected in the debt discount amortization.

In addition, as a result of the debt conversion (see LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES), the majority of debt that generates this interest expense will
convert into equity. After the debt conversion, which occurred on November 11,
2002, interest expense is expected to be approximately $30,000 per quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2002, our primary sources of liquidity were cash and cash
equivalents of $199,000 and net accounts receivable of $3,163,000.

As of December 31, 2001, our primary sources of liquidity were cash and cash
equivalents of $256,000 and net accounts receivable of $1,803,000.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,635,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, as compared to $5,002,000 at September 30, 2001. The
difference was primarily due to a reduction in losses from operations, an
increase in accounts receivable and the decrease in non-cash items for
depreciation and amortization of debt discount.


Page 17

Net cash used in investing activities was $128,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of
$5,418,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This was primarily due
to the proceeds received with the sale of IPS in the first quarter of 2001.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,706,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, as compared to net cash used in financing activities
of $1,371,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This difference was
primarily a result of the $2,600,000 of convertible debt funding in the first,
second and third quarters of 2002, net of scheduled payments of notes payable,
as compared to the repayment of the line of credit debt in the first quarter
2001 from the proceeds of the IPS transaction.

In July 2000, we issued $5 million in a convertible debt offering to Edgewater
and Fleck T.I.M.E. These notes (the "July 2000 Convertible Notes") were
originally convertible at a 25% discount to the price paid by investors in a
qualified financing into the security sold in such qualified financing or, if no
such financing occurred, at $5.00 per share into our common stock. A qualified
financing never occurred, so these notes remained convertible at $5.00 per share
into our common stock until we entered into the Note Agreement (as defined
below).

In November 2000, our former Chairman and major stockholder provided a
$1,000,000 line of credit to us in the form of convertible notes (the "November
2000 Convertible Notes"). Initially, we were able to draw upon the line of
credit from time to time as needed, and as of September 30, 2001, we had drawn
$900,000 on the line of credit. As a result of later amendments, we no longer
have any available borrowing under the line of credit. The November 2000
Convertible Notes originally bore interest at an annual rate of 8%, were
convertible at the lenders' option at $.50 per share and were scheduled to
mature on December 31, 2001. In August 2001, we renegotiated the terms of the
November 2000 Convertible Notes that extended the maturity date and increased
the conversion feature to $1.00 per share, convertible at the lender's option.
In exchange, we agreed to commence interest only payments to the lender based
upon the principal and accrued interest as of September 1, 2001. On April 16,
2002, in conjunction with the Convertible Notes discussed above, the November
2000 Convertible Notes were again renegotiated. The new terms are that the
November 2000 Convertible Notes still bear an annual interest rate of 8%, are
convertible at the lenders' option into shares of our common stock at $.25 per
share and mature on December 1, 2004. We are still making monthly interest-only
payments of approximately $6,400 per month.

In December 2000, we issued $1,500,000 in convertible notes to two of our
stockholders (the "December 2000 Convertible Notes"), both of which formerly
served or had representatives serve on our Board of Directors. The December 2000
Convertible Notes were initially convertible at the lenders' option at $.50 per
share. The December 2000 Convertible Notes bear interest at 8% per annum and
originally matured on December 31, 2001. Of these convertible notes, the holder
of $1,000,000 agreed in December 2001 to extend the maturity date to January 31,
2003.

In June 2001, we began negotiations with certain existing stockholders and
convertible debt holders for additional funding to provide the ability to
execute on the unsecured creditor payment plan (see RESTRUCTURING PLAN below),
pay or renegotiate legacy expenses, and provide working capital to execute on
our current operating plan. Although the final documents were not executed until
April 2002, we received $1,050,000 as of December 31, 2001 as interim bridge
financing in the form of convertible promissory notes (the "June 2001
Convertible Notes"). We received additional funding under the June 2001
Convertible Notes of $860,000, $1,240,000 and $500,000 during the first, second
and third quarters of 2002, respectively. On April 16, 2002, the terms were
finalized on these convertible notes, subject to stockholder approval, which was
obtained at the 2002 Annual Meeting held in July 2002 (the "2002 Annual
Meeting"). The total amount to be received under the June 2001 convertible notes
was to be a minimum of $2,650,000 up to a maximum of $4,500,000 ($3,650,000 of
which has been received as of September 2002). Until converted, these June 2001
Convertible Notes are for a term of one year and are due April 2003, and have a
stated interest rate of 8%.

In April 2002, we entered into a Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
with Edgewater, Fleck T.I.M.E., DeJoria and Loche (the "Note Agreement"),
whereby the holders of the July 2000 Convertible Notes and $1,000,000 of the
December 2000 Convertible Notes agreed to convert the outstanding principal
balance of such notes and accrued interest into shares of the our Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at the Equity
Closing (as defined in the Note Agreement). As a result, the holder of the
remaining $500,000 of the December 2000 Convertible Notes demanded payment. On
April 16, 2002, we negotiated with this individual to repay this note over an
installment period. We paid $300,000 on the


Page 18

remaining December 2000 Convertible Notes in April 2002. The balance plus
accrued interest is due in January 2003.

In addition to the conversion of the July 2000 Convertible Notes and certain of
the December 2000 Convertible Notes at the Equity Closing, the holders of the
June 2001 Convertible Notes agreed to convert most of the outstanding principal
balance of such notes and accrued interest into shares of our Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). At the Equity
Closing, all but $2,000,000 of the outstanding balance on the June 2001
Convertible Notes was converted into shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The
additional $2,000,000 (the "Edgewater Special Debt") could have been converted
into Series B Preferred Stock at the sole election of the holder, Edgewater.
However, in November 2002, we entered into a Term Sheet with intentions of
entering into a Series B-1 Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "B-1
Note Agreement") with Edgewater whereby Edgewater will have the option to
convert the entire outstanding principal balance of the Edgewater Special Debt,
including an additional $500,000 funded under the June 2001 Convertible Notes
during October and November of 2002, plus accrued interest into shares of our
Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B-1 Preferred Stock"). It is
anticipated that the B-1 Note Agreement will be subject to certain closing
conditions. As part of the B-1 Note Agreement, the Company intends to issue
Edgewater a warrant to purchase up to 1,333,333 shares of Series B-1 Preferred
Stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share.

Also, on November 7, 2002, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with
Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"), whereby SVB agreed to loan us up to $1,400,000.
This facility includes a $1 million revolving line of credit that is an accounts
receivable based operating line of credit to support short-term working capital
requirements as well as a $400,000 term note. At the closing of the loan, we
used $400,000 from the term note facility to extinguish the $856,000 balance and
cure our secured loan from GE Access that was in default since it was due on
October 16, 2002. Until January 10, 2003, approximately $234,000 of the
revolving line of credit is restricted. To date, we have not borrowed under the
SVB line of credit, and have $766,000 of borrowing ability remaining. Of the
$1,400,000 credit facility with SVB, $1,000,000 was guaranteed by Edgewater. The
SVB debt is secured by all of our assets. The line of credit is priced at prime
plus 1% on a fully-floating basis and matures in twelve months. The advance rate
on the line is determined by the defined borrowing base, which is 80% of
eligible accounts receivable. The term loan is priced at 10% on a fixed-rate
basis. The term loan is fully amortizing and also matures in one year.

On November 11, 2002, in accordance with the Note Agreement, we converted
$6,000,000 of convertible debt and the related accrued and unpaid interest of
$1,272,000 into 9,695,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and $2,150,000 of
convertible debt and the related accrued and unpaid interest of $230,089 into
3,173,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock has the following terms: a conversion rate equal to
one share of common stock for each $.75 of stated value or a liquidation
preference such that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of EpicEdge, the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive, at their option,
either: (a) in preference to the holders of the common stock and on a pro-rated
pari passu basis with the Series B Preferred Stock, an amount equal to 2.75
times the stated value, or (b) a ratable share of the distribution of assets and
property with the holders of the common stock, participating on an as converted
basis, if a liquidation event occurs within 24 months. If, however, a
liquidation event occurs after 24 months, the preference multiple becomes 3
times the stated value. The Series A Preferred Stock shall have a stated value
of $.75. A merger or sale of capital stock in which our shareholders do not own
a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation or sale of all
or substantially all of our assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation.

The Series B Preferred Stock has the following terms: a conversion rate equal to
one share of common stock for each $.25 of stated value or a liquidation
preference such that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of EpicEdge, the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive, at their option,
either: (a) in preference to the holders of the common stock and on a pro-rated
pari passu basis with the Series A Preferred Stock, an amount equal to 2.75
times the stated value, or (b) a ratable share of the distribution of assets and
property with the holders of the common stock, participating on an as converted
basis, if a liquidation event occurs within 24 months. If, however, a
liquidation event occurs after 24 months, the preference multiple becomes 3
times the stated value. In addition, if the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock choose upon a liquidation event to receive the liquidation preference
multiple in effect at the time of the event and there


Page 19

still remains undistributed new equity value after any debt obligations and
Series A Preferred Stock liquidating preference payments, then the Series B
Preferred Stock will participate in that additional distribution on an as
converted basis at a conversion rate equal to one share of common stock for each
$.75 of stated value. The Series B Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of
$.75. A merger or sale of capital stock in which our shareholders do not own a
majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation or sale of all
or substantially all of our assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation.

It is anticipated that the Series B-1 Preferred Stock will have the following
terms: a conversion rate equal to one share of common stock for each $.25 of
stated value or a liquidation preference such that in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of EpicEdge, the holders thereof shall be
entitled to receive, at their option, either: (a) senior to the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and in preference to
common stock, an amount equal to 3.5 times the original Series B-1 Preferred
Stock purchase price per share (the "Series B-1 Preference") and a ratable share
of the distribution of assets and property with the holders of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $0.75 per share, or (b) a ratable share of the distribution
of assets and property with the holders of common stock, participating on an as
converted basis at $0.25 per share. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall have a
stated value of $.75. The holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock will have
the right to convert shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, at the option of each
holder thereof, at any time, into shares of common stock at a conversion price
equal to one share of common stock for each $0.25 of stated value if the holders
of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock elect not to take the Series B-1 Preference.
If the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock take the Series B-1 Preference,
the conversion price will be $0.75 per share. The total number of shares of
common stock into which such shares may be converted initially will be
determined by dividing the aggregate original Series B-1 Preferred Stock
purchase price of $.75 plus accrued interest, by the conversion price. The
initial conversion price for the Series B-1 Stock will be $0.25 or $0.75 (if the
holders of the Series B-1 Stock take the Series B-1 Preference), as the case may
be. A merger or sale of capital stock in which our shareholders do not own a
majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation or sale of all
or substantially all of our assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation.

All of the preferred stock has anti-dilution protection that will adjust the
conversion price of each series to increase the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of such shares of preferred stock if, and to the
extent, we issue additional securities at a price per share lower than the
conversion price of each such series of preferred stock. The adjustment will be
based upon a broad-based, weighted average formula that increases the conversion
rate based upon the number of new securities issued and the extent to which such
securities were issued below the conversion price of each series of preferred.

At September 30, 2002, we had a working capital deficit of $11,527,000. However,
had the debt conversions as approved by the shareholders occurred as of
September 30, 2002 (see pro-forma effects discussed in Note 4 of the financial
statements), we would have had a working capital deficit of $2,285,000.
Additionally, during 1999 and 2000, we completed several acquisitions and
divestitures that placed an additional strain on our cash resources as the
operations of the acquired businesses were integrated with our operations and
the operations of the divestitures were extracted from our operations.
Management expects that our current available funds, funds provided from current
operations, and the available funds to be borrowed under our line of credit and
term loan facility with SVB will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements
through the end of 2003 based on our current projections. However, if revenues
deteriorate or our operating cash flows and SVB line of credit become
inadequate, or if our revenues grow faster and/or higher than expected we may
not be able to continue successfully funding our operations. In that event, we
may need to raise additional funding from other sources. Sources of additional
financing may include additional bank debt or the public or private sale of
equity or debt securities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be
successful in arranging such additional financing at all or on terms
commercially acceptable to us. In addition, the issuance of debt may require us
to agree to restrictive covenants that could hamper our business and operations.
These uncertainties could have a material adverse affect on us.

RESTRUCTURING PLAN

Effective January 1, 2001, with a closing date of February 5, 2001, we sold all
of the issued and outstanding stock of IPS to Red & Blue, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and to the IPS Associates, Inc. Stock Ownership Plan. The
consideration for the sale was (1) the return of an aggregate 740,260 shares of
our common stock, including ESOP shares, (2) $5,700,000 in net proceeds and (3)
the transfer of the


Page 20

IPS ESOP plan, along with the note payable to a financial institution for the
ESOP financing of $4,861,000. The stock purchase agreement provided that 143,323
shares of the 740,260 shares of our common stock be held in escrow until the
earlier of (1) the completion of audited financial statements of IPS for the
year ended December 31, 2000, or (2) six months from the date of closing. In the
event that the net equity, revenues or net earnings of IPS differed by more than
$500,000 from the financial statements disclosed in the purchase agreement, Red
& Blue, Inc. had the right to setoff the difference against the shares held in
escrow at a value based upon the closing price of our common stock on the day
before the setoff. In the event of a setoff, we had agreed to immediately
register the setoff shares. Based on audited financial results of IPS, no such
setoff occurred. The goodwill related to IPS was written down as of December 31,
2000, to the amount recoverable in the sale.

In the first quarter of 2001, we received the above-described proceeds,
cancellation of the inter-company payable and receivables with IPS, along with
the return of 740,260 shares, in exchange for the transfer of assets of
$6,085,000 and liabilities of $8,028,000. In addition, with the return of the
shares held by the ESOP, a reduction in unearned compensation of $8,979,000
associated with these unreleased ESOP shares was recorded as a charge against
the additional paid in capital arising from the IPS acquisition. The net
proceeds from the sale of IPS were used to pay off the secured debt for
$2,275,000 and the balance was used to fund working capital needs such as
payroll and current accounts payable.

In February 2001, we adopted a strategy and a plan of execution to reduce our
workforce and other costs in order to stabilize the organization. We hired a
consulting group to assist in designing and executing a repayment plan (the
"Plan") with its unsecured creditors. This Plan, which was executed in June
2001, after achieving an acceptable percentage of consents from the unsecured
creditors, was designed to repay this group over time either in-full for those
creditors whose balance was $5,000 or less, or who were willing to accept $5,000
as full payment, or up to 60% of $3,094,000, which represented the original
unsecured accounts payable amount as of February 1, 2001. The Plan further
provided that, if sufficient cash was available, we could pay a total of 30% of
the original unsecured accounts payable amount by December 31, 2001, and this
total amount would fully and completely satisfy our obligations to the unsecured
creditors. In June 2001, in accordance with the Plan, we paid the initial
installment to consenting unsecured creditors under the Plan representing 18% of
the original obligation. In December 2001, we made a second installment of 12%
of the original obligation to fully satisfy its obligations under the Plan as it
relates to $2,045,000 of the original unsecured accounts payable. The then
remaining balance of $1,049,000 would be paid quarterly at four (4%) percent of
the original balance through June 2004, unless the remaining unsecured creditors
agree to a lesser amount over a shorter time. As a result of settlement
agreements and other legal causes of action by our unsecured creditors, during
the third quarter 2002, it was necessary to reverse some extraordinary gain
recognized in previous quarters. The reversal of extraordinary gain in the third
quarter 2002 of $58,000 resulted in a net extraordinary loss of $56,000 and
$11,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively.

In March 2001, we negotiated new terms for $1,933,000 of other notes payable,
which extended repayment terms into 2002.

In October 2000, we reduced our workforce by 43 full-time positions, or 14% of
our workforce at that time. In the spring of 2001, a strategy and plan of
execution was adopted to stabilize the organization and return to positive cash
flow and eventual profitability. This strategy includes a strict line-by-line
review and evaluation of non-compensation expenses as well as another 15%
reduction in our workforce in the Creative, Research and Sales departments. In
the fourth quarter 2000 and in the first quarter 2001, there were continuing
additional non-recurring expenses associated with these reductions in force.
During the third quarter of 2001, our workforce was reduced by another 15%.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

WE MAY NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WHICH MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE.

Management expects that our current available funds, funds provided from
current operations, and the available funds to be borrowed under our line of
credit and term loan facility


Page 21

with SVB, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements through the end of
2003 based on our current projections. However, if our operating cash flows and
SVB line of credit becomes inadequate, or if our revenues grow faster and/or
higher than expected, we may not be able to continue successfully funding our
operations. In that event, we may need to raise additional funding from other
sources. Sources of additional financing may include additional bank debt or the
public or private sale of equity or debt securities. However, there can be no
assurance that we will be successful in arranging such additional financing at
all or on terms commercially acceptable to us. In addition, the issuance of debt
may require us to agree to restrictive covenants that could hamper our business
and operations. These uncertainties could have a material adverse affect on us.

WE MAY REPORT AN OPERATING LOSS IN 2002 AND MAY NOT ACHIEVE OR SUSTAIN FUTURE
PROFITABILITY.

Although our core business is providing information technology services,
our business strategy continues to evolve. We have reported an operating loss in
each of the previous three fiscal years, and again in the first two quarters of
2002. We reported operating income of $24,000 for the third quarter of 2002.
Although our revenues have generally been increasing since the third quarter of
fiscal 2000 and this trend has continued into the first three quarters of 2002,
it is possible that we may continue to incur operating losses, and that our
revenues may decline for the remainder of 2002. During the course of 2001, we
fundamentally restructured our business by consolidating office space, reducing
our workforce and reshaping our service offerings. To the extent that our
restructuring plan does not generate the cost savings or revenues that we
anticipate, our results of operations and liquidity could be materially and
adversely affected. If we are unable to maintain the historical increase in our
revenues, or if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, we may continue
to incur losses and may not achieve profitability. If we achieve profitability
in the future, we may not be able to sustain it.

DUE TO THE LIQUIDATION PREFERENCES OF OUR OUTSTANDING PREFERRED STOCK, THE
HOLDERS OF SUCH PREFERRED STOCK MAY BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY
ALL OF THE PROCEEDS FROM ANY SALE OF THE COMPANY THAT RESULTS IN A LIQUIDATION
EVENT UNDER THE TERMS OF THE PREFERRED STOCK.

According to the terms of our currently outstanding shares of Series A and
Series B Preferred Stock, any merger or sale of capital stock in which our
shareholders prior to such action do not own a majority of the outstanding
shares of the surviving corporation or any sale of all or substantially all of
our assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation event. Upon a liquidation event,
the holders of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock have a right to receive
2.75 times the original purchase price of such preferred stock in the event such
liquidation event occurs on or before April 15, 2004. After such date, these
holders will be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to 3 times the
original purchase price of such preferred. As a result, the holders of the
12,734,881 shares of currently outstanding preferred stock will be entitled to
the first approximately $26,268,000 of proceeds from the liquidation event
available to be distributed to our shareholders if such liquidation event
happens on or before April 15, 2004, or approximately $28,653,000 if such event
occurs after such date. In addition, the liquidation preference of the proposed
Series B-1 Preferred Stock is anticipated to be 3.5 times the original purchase
price of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock. Lastly, the management participants in
our cash Bonus Plan could be entitled to receive certain of the proceeds
available for distribution to our shareholders in preference to the holders of
both our preferred and common stock. For a description of the Bonus Plan, please
see Footnote 9 in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements contained in Part
I Item 1 of this 10-Q. As a result of the liquidation preferences of the
preferred stock and the Bonus Plan, certain members or our management and the
holders of our preferred stock may be entitled to receive all or substantially
all of the proceeds from any sale of the company that results in a liquidation
event under the terms of the preferred stock in preference to the holders of our
common stock and the existence of such liquidation preferences could materially
affect the market price of our common stock.

WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT FIXED OPERATING COSTS AND OUR OPERATING RESULTS ARE SUBJECT
TO FLUCTUATION.

A high percentage of our operating expenses, approximately 50%,
particularly personnel and rent, are fixed in advance of any particular quarter.
As a result, unanticipated variations in the number, or progress toward
completion, of our projects or in employee utilization rates may cause
significant variations in operating results in any particular quarter and could
result in losses for such quarter.


Page 22

An unanticipated termination of a major project, a client's decision not
to proceed to the subsequent stage of a project, or the completion during a
quarter of several major client projects could require us to maintain
underutilized employees and could therefore have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our revenues and
earnings may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on such factors as the
contractual terms and degree of completion of such projects, any delays incurred
in connection with projects, the accuracy of estimates of resources required to
complete ongoing projects, and general economic conditions.

WE DEPEND ON GOVERNMENT AGENCIES FOR A MAJORITY OF OUR REVENUES AND THE LOSS OR
DECLINE OF EXISTING OR FUTURE GOVERNMENT AGENCY FUNDING WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR REVENUES AND CASH FLOWS.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, approximately 87% of our
revenues were either directly or indirectly, as a subcontractor, derived from
services provided to government agencies. These government agencies may be
subject to budget cuts, budgetary constraints, a reduction or discontinuation of
funding or changes in the political or regulatory environment that may cause
government agencies to divert funds. A significant reduction in funds available
for government agencies to purchase professional services would significantly
reduce our revenues and cash flows. In addition, the loss of a major government
client, or any significant reduction or delay in orders by that client, would
also significantly reduce our revenues and cash flows.

WE DEPEND HEAVILY ON OUR PRINCIPAL CLIENTS.

We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a
significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of large clients. In
the third quarter of 2002, our two largest clients, the Texas Department of
Health and Northrop Grumman, accounted for approximately 43% of our revenues.
Another customer accounted for 14% of our revenues in the third quarter of 2003.
The volume of work performed for specific clients is likely to vary from year to
year, and a major client in one year may not use our services in a subsequent
year. In addition, revenues from a large client may constitute a significant
portion of our total revenues in a particular quarter. Most of our contracts are
terminable by the client following limited notice and without significant
penalty to the client. The loss of any large client could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON A NUMBER OF KEY PERSONNEL.

Our success will depend in large part upon the continued services of a
number of key employees, including our CEO, key consultants and practice
leaders. The loss of the services of any of these individuals or of one or more
of our other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. In
addition, if one or more of our key employees resigns to join a competitor or to
form a competing company, the loss of such personnel and any resulting loss of
existing or potential clients to any such competitor could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the event of the loss of any such personnel, there can be no assurance that
we would be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical
knowledge, practices or procedures by such personnel.

OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT, SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE AND
RETAIN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL AND KEY EMPLOYEES.

A critical component of our business is the level of experience and
technical proficiency of our employees. If we are unable to attract, retain,
train, manage and motivate skilled employees, particularly project managers and
other senior technical personnel, our ability to adequately manage and staff our
existing projects and to bid for or obtain new projects could be impaired, which
would adversely affect our business and its growth. The failure of our employees
to achieve expected levels of performance could adversely affect our business.
There is significant competition for employees with the skills required to
perform the services we offer. In particular, qualified project managers and
senior technical and professional staff are in great demand worldwide. In
addition, we require that many of our employees travel to client sites to
perform services on our behalf, which may make a position with us less
attractive to potential employees.

IF WE DO NOT ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL STAFF, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO ADEQUATELY PERFORM OUR CLIENT ENGAGEMENTS AND COULD BE LIMITED IN ACCEPTING
NEW CLIENT ENGAGEMENTS.


Page 23

Our business is labor intensive and our success will depend upon our
ability to attract, retain, train and motivate highly skilled employees.
Although many specialized e-business and other business and technology companies
have reduced their workforces or slowed their hiring efforts, and we reduced our
workforce in October 2000, March and September 2001, and again in September
2002, intense competition still exists for certain employees who have
specialized skills or significant experience in business and technology
consulting. We may not be successful in attracting a sufficient number of these
highly skilled employees in the future. Additionally, the industry attrition
rates for these types of employees are high, and we may not be successful in
retaining, training and motivating the employees we are able to attract. Any
inability to attract, retain, train and motivate employees could impair our
ability to adequately manage and complete existing projects and to bid for or
accept new client engagements.

IF OUR MARKETING RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOFTWARE VENDORS DETERIORATE, WE WOULD LOSE
THEIR POTENTIAL CLIENT REFERRALS.

We currently have marketing relationships with software vendors, including
PeopleSoft and Sun Microsystems. We estimate that we derive nearly all of our
revenues directly or indirectly from these relationships. Although we have
historically received a number of business leads from these software vendors to
implement their products, they are not required to refer business to us, may
cease referring business to us and may further terminate these relationships at
any time. If our relationships with these software vendors deteriorate, we may
lose their client leads and our ability to develop new clients could be
negatively impacted. Any decrease in our ability to obtain new clients may cause
a reduction in our revenue growth.

OUR CLIENTS MAY CANCEL OR DELAY SPENDING ON BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES
BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE.

Since the second half of 2000, many companies have experienced financial
difficulties or uncertainty, and have cancelled or delayed spending on business
and technology consulting initiatives. Additionally, the severe financial
difficulties that many start-up Internet companies have experienced have reduced
or eliminated competition and have further reduced the perceived urgency by
larger companies to begin or continue technology initiatives. Since some of our
revenues are derived from large companies, if large companies continue to cancel
or delay their business and technology consulting initiatives because of the
current economic climate, or for other reasons, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

BUSINESSES MAY DECREASE OR DELAY THEIR USE OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AS A MEANS
FOR CONDUCTING COMMERCE.

Our future success depends heavily on the increased acceptance and use of
advanced technologies as a means for conducting commerce and streamlining
operations. We focus our services on the development and implementation of
advanced technology strategies and solutions. If use of these advanced
technologies does not continue to grow, or grows more slowly than expected, our
revenue growth could slow or decline and our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Consumers and
businesses may delay adoption of advanced technologies for a number of reasons,
including:

- inability to implement and sustain profitable business models using
advanced technologies;

- inadequate network infrastructure or bandwidth;

- delays in the development or adoption of new technical standards and
protocols required to handle increased levels of usage;

- delays in the development of security and authentication technology
necessary to effect secure transmission of confidential information;
and

- failure of companies to meet their clients' expectations in
delivering goods and services using advanced technologies.

WE COULD BECOME SUBJECT TO LAWSUITS OR INVESTIGATIONS THAT COULD RESULT IN
MATERIAL LIABILITIES TO US OR CAUSE US TO INCUR MATERIAL COSTS.


Page 24

The Company was notified by the SEC Staff that the SEC is conducting an
investigation into (1) the trading activity of certain individuals and entities
in the Company's securities and the securities of other companies during the
period 1999 and 2000, and (2) certain actions of the Company during that same
period. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the SEC to the extent it
requests information. At this time, management is unable to predict the outcome
of this investigation with certainty. The Company could become subject to an
order enjoining the Company from unlawful conduct and incur civil monetary
penalties as a result of the investigation. Such penalties could have a material
adverse effect on the Company and its operations or financial condition.

We have several lawsuits pending against us. One involves a former
employee who alleges the Company wrongfully prohibited him from selling company
stock. Damages alleged are $2,715,630. The former employee claims that through
the acts and/or omissions of the company and other named parties of the suit,
the company and other named parties failed to give correct and truthful
information that he needed before he could sell his stock.

Another suit involves breach of contract. We filed suit on May 31, 2001
against Reliant Energy seeking specified damages in the amount of $973,804 plus
costs and attorneys fees. On October 28, 2002, Reliant Resources, Inc. sent a
demand letter in connection with this case stating that the Company breached a
written contract with Reliant Resources, Inc. for the delivery of a system and
demanding payment of $657,000 plus expenses. The Company is currently waiting on
a ruling on a request for continuance.

We believe we have good and meritorious defenses against these claims and
plan to defend ourselves vigorously. While the outcome of this litigation cannot
be predicted with certainty, we believe that it will not have a material adverse
effect on our financial statements. However, an unfavorable outcome of this
litigation could have a material adverse effect. In addition, any failure in a
client's system could result in a claim against us for substantial damages,
regardless of our responsibility for such failure. We cannot guarantee that the
limitations of liability set forth in our service contracts will be enforceable
or will otherwise protect us from liability for damages.

Our general liability insurance coverage, as well as coverage for errors
or omissions, may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in
sufficient amounts to cover one or more claims, and the insurer may disclaim
coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more claims
against us that exceed available insurance coverage or changes in insurance
policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or
co-insurance requirements, would adversely affect our business.

OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE DELISTED FROM THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE. IF IT IS
DELISTED, THE MARKET PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE POTENTIALLY TO ZERO
AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT.

As a result of our delay in filing Form 10-KSB for 2000 and the first and
second quarter 10-Q of 2001, AMEX suspended the trading of our stock on the
AMEX. Upon review of these items once they were filed, they reinstated trading
in our stock. Currently, however we are not in compliance with several AMEX
rules.

On May 28, 2002, we received notice from the AMEX indicating that we are
not in compliance with certain of the Exchange's continued listing standards
with our shareholders' equity below $2 million and due to losses from continuing
operations and/or net losses in the two of our three most recent fiscal years,
as set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the AMEX Company Guide. We were afforded
an opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange and on June 26,
2002 we presented our plan to the Exchange. On July 30, 2002 the Exchange
notified us that it accepted our plan of compliance and granted us an extension
of time to regain compliance with the continued listing standards until March
31, 2003. We will be subject to periodic reviews by the Exchange during the
extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain
compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension
period could result in our being delisted from the American Stock Exchange.

Notwithstanding the terms of the July 30, 2002 letter from the AMEX, the
Exchange has advised us that consistent with its obligations and
responsibilities as a self-regulatory organization, it is authorized to initiate
immediate delisting proceedings as appropriate in the public interest.
Therefore, despite compliance with the submitted plan, the AMEX may decide to
delist our common stock based on our non-compliance with AMEX rules or our
financial condition. In addition, we have not


Page 25

received final approval from the AMEX of the shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock issued in the
Equity Closing. As a result of the above factors, we can give no assurances that
our securities will not be delisted from trading by AMEX. However, the Company
is evaluating the efficacy of continued listing on the AMEX and may consider
delisting itself from the exchange whether or not the Company continues to make
progress towards its plan.

If we lose our AMEX listing status, our common stock would most likely
trade in the over-the-counter market, which is viewed by most investors as a
less desirable and less liquid marketplace. In that event, trading in shares of
our common stock would likely decrease substantially or cease altogether, and
the market price of the common stock would likely decline further, potentially
to zero.

OUR BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO KEEP PACE WITH THE LATEST
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES.

Our market and the enabling technologies used by our clients are
characterized by rapid technological change. Failure to respond successfully to
these technological developments, or to respond in a timely or cost-effective
way, will result in serious harm to our business and operating results. We
expect to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from creating e-business
systems that are based upon today's leading technologies and that are capable of
adapting to future technologies. As a result, our success will depend, in part,
on our ability to offer services that keep pace with continuing changes in
technology, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences as well
as being first to market new services in this market. There can be no assurance
that we will be successful in addressing these developments on a timely basis or
that if addressed we will be successful in the marketplace. Our failure to
address these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION IN MARKETS THAT ARE NEW, INTENSELY COMPETITIVE
AND RAPIDLY CHANGING.

The markets for the services we provide are highly competitive. We believe
that we currently compete principally with large accounting firms, strategy
consulting firms, Internet and e-business professional services providers,
software integration firms, application software vendors, and internal
information systems groups. Some of our competitors are Accenture Ltd., Maximus,
Inc., Lante Corporation, IBM Global Services, Deloitte Consulting (soon to be
Braxton), Intelligroup, Inc. and KPMG Consulting, Inc. Many of the companies
that provide such services have significantly greater financial, technical and
marketing resources than we do and generate greater revenues and have greater
name recognition. These firms may attempt to gain a competitive advantage by
offering large pricing concessions. In addition, there are relatively low
barriers to entry into our markets and we have faced, and expect to continue to
face, additional competition from new entrants into our markets. We believe that
the principal competitive factors in our markets include:

- Internet expertise and talent;

- quality of service, price and speed of delivery;

- ability to integrate strategy, technology and creative design
services;

- vertical industry knowledge; and

- project management capability.

We believe that our ability to compete also depends in part on a number of
competitive factors outside our control, including:

- the ability of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate their
senior staff;

- the development by others of Internet solutions or software that is
competitive with our products and services; and

- the extent of our competitors' responsiveness to client needs.


Page 26

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with our
competitors.

WE SOMETIMES ENTER INTO FIXED-PRICE CONTRACTS.

Some of our projects are based on fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts,
rather than contracts in which payment to us is determined on a time and
materials basis. We recognize revenues when defined milestones are reached. For
the three months ended September 30, 2002, approximately 31% of our revenues
were from fixed-price, fixed time frame contracts. Our failure to accurately
estimate the resources required for a project or our failure to complete our
contractual obligations in a manner consistent with the project plan upon which
our fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contract was based would adversely affect our
overall profitability and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. We have at times been required to
commit unanticipated additional resources to complete certain projects, which
has resulted in losses on certain contracts. We recognize that we may experience
similar situations in the future. In addition, for certain projects we may fix
the price before the design specifications are finalized, which could result in
a fixed price that turns out to be less than our expenses on the project and
therefore adversely affects our profitability.

OUR FAILURE TO DELIVER ERROR-FREE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES COULD RESULT IN REDUCED
PAYMENTS, SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL LIABILITY OR ADDITIONAL COSTS TO US, AS WELL AS
NEGATIVE PUBLICITY.

Many of our engagements involve projects that are critical to the
operations of our clients' businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult
to quantify. The failure by us to meet a client's expectations in the
performance of the engagement could damage our reputation and adversely affect
our ability to attract new business. We have undertaken, and may in the future
undertake, projects in which we guarantee performance based upon defined
operating specifications or guaranteed delivery dates. Unsatisfactory
performance or unanticipated difficulties or delays in completing such projects
may result in client dissatisfaction and a reduction in payment to us, payment
of penalties or damages by us as a result of litigation or otherwise. In
addition, unanticipated delays could necessitate the use of more resources than
we initially budgeted for a particular project, which could increase our costs
for that project.

CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS CAN CONTROL MATTERS REQUIRING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL BECAUSE
THEY OWN A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AND THEY MAY VOTE THIS COMMON
STOCK IN A WAY WITH WHICH OTHER SHAREHOLDERS MAY NOT AGREE.

Certain shareholders Edgewater Private Equity Fund III and Fleck T.I.M.E.
Fund, LP and affiliates of Fleck own approximately 14% and 6%, respectively, of
the outstanding shares of our common stock. On a pro-forma basis, assuming
conversion of the debt at September 30, 2002 into Series A and Series B
Preferred Stock, Edgewater and Fleck will have greatly increased their voting
control over our affairs to approximately 35.7% and 17.3%, respectively. As a
result, if these persons act together, they will have the ability to exercise
substantial control over our affairs and corporate actions requiring shareholder
approval, including the election of directors, a sale of substantially all our
assets, a merger with another entity or an amendment our certificate of
incorporation. The ownership position of these shareholders could delay, deter
or prevent a change in control and could adversely affect the price that
investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

OUR REVENUES AND OPERATING RESULTS ARE VOLATILE AND DIFFICULT TO FORECAST, WHICH
MAY CAUSE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.

Our revenues and operating results are subject to significant variation
from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including:

- the number, size and scope of projects in which we are engaged;

- demand for our services generated by strategic relationships and
certain prime contractors;

- economic conditions in the vertical and geographic markets we serve;

- our employee utilization rates and the number of billable days in a
particular quarter;


Page 27

- the contractual terms and degree of completion of projects;

- any delays or costs incurred in connection with a project or early
termination of a project;

- the accuracy of estimates of resources required to complete ongoing
projects;

- our ability to staff projects with salaried employees versus hourly
employees, hourly independent contractors and subcontractors;

- start-up costs including software license fees incurred in
connection with the initiation of large projects;

- the adequacy of provisions for losses.

The timing and realization of opportunities in our sales pipeline make the
timing and variability of revenues difficult to forecast. Because of the
variability of our quarterly operating results, we believe that period-to-period
comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful, should not
be relied upon as indications of future performance and may result in volatility
and declines in the price of our common stock. In addition, our operating
results may from time to time be below the expectations of analysts and
investors. If so, the market price of our common stock may continue to decline.

THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR STOCK HAS BEEN, AND IS EXPECTED TO BE, HIGHLY VOLATILE.
THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATION.

In addition, the trading price of our common stock could be subject to
wide fluctuations in response to:

- general economic or stock market conditions unrelated to our
operating performance;

- quarterly variations in operating results;

- changes in earnings estimates by analysts;

- any differences between reported results and analysts' published or
unpublished expectations;

- announcements of new contracts or service offerings by us or our
competitors; and

- other events or factors.

INCREASING GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

We are subject not only to regulations applicable to businesses generally,
but also laws and regulations directly applicable to electronic commerce.
Although there are currently few such laws and regulations, state, federal and
foreign governments may adopt a number of these laws and regulations. Any such
legislation or regulation could dampen the growth of the Internet and decrease
its acceptance as a communications and commercial medium. If such a decline
occurs, companies may decide in the future not to use our services to create an
electronic business channel. This decrease in the demand for our services would
seriously harm our business and operating results.

LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS, HIGHER INSURANCE COST AND POTENTIAL NEW ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS ARE LIKELY TO IMPACT OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.

There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
and there may be potential new accounting pronouncements or regulatory rulings
which will have an impact on our future financial position and results of
operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rule changes and proposed
legislative initiatives following the Enron bankruptcy are likely to increase
general and administrative costs. In addition, insurers are increasing rates as
a result of high claims rates over the past year and our rates for our various
insurance policies have increased and may continue to increase. Further,
proposed initiatives result in changes in accounting rules, including
legislative and other proposals to account for employee stock options as an
expense. These and other potential changes


Page 28

could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted
accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR
PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY.

Our success depends, in part, upon our proprietary methodologies and other
intellectual property rights. We rely upon a combination of trade secret,
nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements to protect our proprietary
rights. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees; generally
require that our consultants and clients enter into such agreements; and limit
access to distribution of our proprietary information. We currently do not have
any trademark or copyright protection on any of our intellectual property. There
can be no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate
to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information or that we will be able
to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our
intellectual property rights. In addition, although we believe that our services
and products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others,
there can be no assurance that such a claim will not be asserted against us in
the future, or that if asserted any such claim will be successfully defended. A
successful claim against us could have material adverse affect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

WE MAY NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESELL OR REUSE APPLICATIONS DEVELOPED FOR SPECIFIC
CLIENTS.

A portion of our business involves the development of Internet and
software applications for specific client engagements. Ownership of such
software is the subject of negotiation and is frequently assigned to the client,
although we may retain a license for certain uses. Issues relating to the
ownership of and rights to use software applications can be complicated and
there can be no assurances that disputes will not arise that affect our ability
to resell or reuse such applications. Any limitation on our ability to resell or
reuse an application could require us to incur additional expenses to develop
new applications for future projects.

WE COULD SUFFER MATERIAL LOSSES IF OUR SYSTEMS OR OPERATIONS FAIL OR ARE
DISRUPTED.

Any system failure, including network, software or hardware failure,
whether caused by us, a third party service provider, unauthorized intruders and
hackers, computer viruses, natural disasters, power shortage or terrorist
attacks, could cause interruptions or delays in our business or loss of data. In
addition, if our mail, communications or utilities are disrupted or fail, our
operations, including our transaction processing, could be suspended or
interrupted and our business could be harmed. Our property insurance and
business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all
losses that may occur as a result of any system failure or disruption.

THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK UPON THE CONVERSION OR EXERCISE OF OUR
OUTSTANDING DERIVATIVE SECURITIES COULD RESULT IN DILUTION TO EACH SHAREHOLDER'S
PERCENTAGE OWNERSHIP INTEREST AND COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF
OUR COMMON STOCK.

As of November 11, 2002, there were approximately 18,200,333 shares of our
common stock issued and outstanding. Approximately 10,268,000 shares of common
stock are issuable upon exercise of employee and director stock options under
our current stock option plans and will become eligible for sale in the public
markets at prescribed times in the future. We also have outstanding warrants
which are exercisable into an aggregate of 2,022,000 shares of common stock. In
addition, 2,667,000 shares of preferred stock are issuable upon conversion of
the remaining $2,000,000 principal balance plus interest on the June Convertible
Notes issued to Edgewater. Also, the outstanding and issuable shares of
preferred stock are convertible into an aggregate of 11,680,000 additional
shares of our common stock. Lastly, the number of shares issuable upon the
conversion of each of our series of preferred stock is subject to adjustment
upon the occurrence of certain dilutive events which could result in the
issuance of additional shares of common stock.

The issuance and sale of a significant number of shares of common stock
upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, the conversion of our
outstanding preferred stock, or the sales of a substantial number of shares of
common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise, could adversely affect the
market price of the common stock.


Page 29

OUR ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR ANOTHER COMPANY TO
ACQUIRE US, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

We currently have two series of preferred stock authorized and outstanding
and have entered into a term sheet that would require the authorization of a
third series. In addition, our board of directors has the authority to create
additional classes of preferred stock (subject to certain protective provision
of our current outstanding preferred stock). The preferred stock has voting
rights, liquidation preferences, and other rights superior to the rights of our
common stock. The potential issuance of additional preferred stock may delay or
prevent a change in control of us, discourage bids for the common stock at a
premium over the market price and adversely affect the market price and the
voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not believe there is any material market risk exposure with respect to
derivative or other financial instruments, which would require disclosure under
this item. However, we have obligations that have fixed interest rates and,
therefore, contain market rate risk. (See Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources.)

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we
conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term
is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), within 90 days of the filing date of this
report. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

(b) There have been no significant changes (including corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of the evaluation referenced in paragraph (a) above.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We have been notified by the SEC Staff that the SEC is conducting an
investigation into (1) the trading activity of certain individuals and entities
in our securities and the securities of other companies during the period
between 1999 and 2000, and (2) certain of our actions during that same period.
We intend to fully cooperate with the SEC to the extent it requests information.
As a result of the investigation, we could become subject to an order enjoining
us from unlawful conduct and incur civil monetary penalties. Such penalties
could have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.

We have several lawsuits pending against us. One involves a former employee who
alleges the Company wrongfully prohibited him from selling company stock.
Damages alleged are $2,715,630. The former employee claims that through the acts
and/or omissions of the company and other named parties of the suit, the company
and other named parties failed to give correct and truthful information that he
needed before he could sell his stock.

Another suit involves breach of contract. We filed suit on May 31, 2001 against
Reliant Energy seeking specified damages in the amount of $973,804 plus costs
and attorneys fees. On October 28, 2002, Reliant Resources, Inc. sent a demand
letter in connection with this case stating that the Company breached a written
contract with Reliant Resources, Inc. for the delivery of a system and demanding
payment of $657,000 plus expenses. The Company is currently waiting on a ruling
on a request for continuance.

We believe we have good and meritorious defenses against these claims and plan
to defend ourselves vigorously. While the outcome of this litigation cannot be
predicted with certainty, we believe that it will not have a material adverse
effect


Page 30

on our financial statements. However, an unfavorable outcome of this litigation
could have a material adverse effect.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Our 2002 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on July 12, 2002 at our
principal executive offices at 5508 Two Ninety West, Suite 300, Austin, TX
78735. The results of the voting are disclosed in the Form 10-Q filed on August
14, 2002 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
