the sale other than from the possible exercise of warrants to purchase 700,000
shares of common stock at $1.3064 per share.
Had Crescent exercised its warrants and converted the Convertible Note
on June 11, 2002, Crescent would have received 5,905,977 shares of our common
stock. As of the same date, the Company would have received an aggregate amount
of $914,480 from Crescent in connection with its exercise of the 700,000
warrants. Under the terms of our securities purchase agreement with Crescent,
the number of shares to be purchased by Crescent or to be obtained upon the
exercise of warrants or conversion of the Convertible Note held by Crescent
cannot exceed the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of
common stock and securities then owned by Crescent, would result in Crescent
owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock at any given point of
time. See "Recent Developments" on page 6.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
You should read the following summary together with the more detailed
information and financial statements, including the notes to the financial
statements, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
Our Business
We design and sell mobile hand-held, pen-based computers and broadband
set-top boxes, as well asand other related electronic devices for home and business use.
We also provide private, interactive cable systems to the extended stay
hospitality industry and perform design services, process methodology consulting
and intellectual property development. We encountered severe financial problems in
1993 and 1994 relating to a prior product line. On January 3, 1995, we filed a
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. We
operated under Chapter 11 until July 23, 1996, when we were discharged and
proceedings ended. Since July 1996 we have been engaged primarily in the
following activities:
. contract manufacturing for third parties;
. development of the Orasis(R) hand-held computer and the OraLynx(TM)
set-top box;
. engineering design services; and
. acquiring personnel, capital and resources for these activities.
We terminated contract manufacturing during the middle of 1999. We did
this for two reasons. First, we sought to focus on production and marketing of
Orasis(R). Second, we sought to identify additional products for development. We
believe these activities present greater opportunity for growth and
profitability than contract manufacturing.
We completed development and production tooling for Orasis(R) during
1998 and 1999. Orasis(R) is a mobile hand-held,
pen-based computer that incorporates features, which we believe provide greater
power and flexibility to address performance requirements in a variety of
industrial and commercial uses. We have produced a limited number of Orasis(R)
units that have been used for marketing and limited sales. Industry publicationsWe are currently
redesigning the Orasis(R) and potential users have
favorably receivedplan to introduce a new version in 2002. In
addition, the Company introduced a prototype of a Vehicle Mountable Docking
Station (VMDS), which can be used as an accessory product for the Orasis(R).
5
Toward the end of 1999, we identified set-top boxes as a focus for
product development and on February 17, 2000 signed a contract with Estel
Telecommunications SA to develop and produce set-top boxes for sale in Greece. Adevelopment. The OraLynx(TM) set-top box is an electronic device that
converts digital signals into a user acceptable format via other electronic
devices such as television sets, telephones and computers. It is a routing
device that enables you to access and transmit information to take advantage of
services offered by television, telephone, Internet and other providers of
communication, information or entertainment content or media. For example, you
may connect a set-top box to your television to receive cable television
programming and music broadcasts through your television and home sound system.
You may also connect a set-top box to a computer or various office equipment to
serve a variety of commercial uses. Throughout 2000 and 2001, the Company has
successfully developed multiple versions of its OraLynx(TM) set-top box and is
continuing its further development. DuringThe Company has received a contract from the
Hellenic Telecommunications Organization, S.A. (OTE) for the production and sale
of set-top boxes and as of the writing of this registration statement has
shipped 1,100 set-top boxes to them.
In August 2000, in an effort to increase our engineering expertise, the Company acquired the net assets of T & B Design,
Inc. (f/k/a Advanced Digital Designs, Inc.) ("ADD"), Advanced Technologies, Inc., ("ATI"), and 937 Plum Grove

We must focus on the marketing and distribution of those products if we
are to ever obtain profitability. The opportunity will be lost if we fail to
respond quickly. Our industry is characterized by swift change and our products
may become obsolete if competitors offer new technologies or features that we do
not possess. Consequently, we must act swiftly.page 15.
Our Strategy
Our goals are to capture the opportunity presented by the Orasis(R) and
OraLynx(TM) products and to become a leading provider of niche electronic
products. We
expectIn addition, we intend to successfully compete for additional
contracts for the installation of private, interactive cable systems. Our
strategy is to develop or acquire a variety of products and services that
complement each other or offer us production and operating economies. In this
way, we seek to minimize the risk presented by reliance upon any given product
that may become obsolete through technological change.
We expect to increase our development, production and marketing
capabilities by increasing staff and coordinating relationships with outside
manufacturers and sales representatives. We will then establish a responsive
level of production and distribution. At the same time, we have begun an
aggressive marketing campaign to seize opportunities in the growing set-top box
and hand-held computer markets.

Since July 1996 we have operated without substantial sales or revenue.revenue and have
an accumulated deficit of $59,594,000 as of December 31, 2001. The Company
expects to incur operating losses over the near term. The Company's ability to
achieve profitability will depend on many factors including the Company's
ability to manufacture and market commercially acceptable products, including
its set-top box. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever achieve a
profitable level of operations or if profitability is achieved, that it can be
sustained. Our
limited financial performance may make it difficult for potential sources
of capital to evaluate the viability of our business to date and to assess its
future viability.

Availability of additional funding under our Securities Purchase Agreement
requires the Company to meet certain conditions and financial criteria.precedent, which the Company may
be unable to meet.
On September 28, 2001 the Company entered into a $10 million Securities Purchase
Agreement
in the amount of $10 million with Crescent International Ltd., thean institutional investor. The initial funding establishedUnder the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a $2.5 million Convertible Note withfor $2.5
million. Although the Company had the option to issue further Convertible Notes.convertible notes
to Crescent subject to certain conditions precedent, such option expired on
February 1, 2002 and no additional notes were issued. In addition, the Company
is
required to issueissued warrants exercisable to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock at a
price of $1.3064 per share for a five-year term. The Stock Purchase Agreement
further permits the investorCompany to purchasesell to Crescent up to $7.5 million in common
stock of the Company over a 24-month period, provided the Company achieves
certain conditions prior to February 1, 2002. If the Company fails to achieve
these certain conditions by February 1, 2002, then the amounts the investor
could purchase are affected by certain financial criteria.period. Additionally, the Company agreed
not to exercise any drawdowns against its then existing common stock purchase
agreement with Techrich International Ltd., which expired on January 28, 2002.
The Securities Purchase Agreement permits the Company may elect to issue subsequent convertible notessell to Crescent and
requires Crescent to purchase from the Company, at the Company's sole
discretion, common stock of the Company for up to $7.5 million over a 24-month
period. Individual sales are limited to $1.5 million, subject to meeting certain criteria such as the total sales to OTE equals or exceeds $2.5 million and valid and documented orders from OTE that equal or
exceed 75% of the subsequent convertible note. These conditions apply prior to
February 1, 2002. After February 1, 2002, the Company can sell to the investor
shares of up to $1.2 million per sale, unless otherwisea higher amount if
agreed to by the Company and Crescent, and each sale is subject to our
satisfaction of the investor; provided, however,following conditions precedent (none of which are within the
control of Crescent): (1) the Company's representations and warranties must be
true and complete, (2) the Company must have one or more then currently
effective registration statements covering the resale by Crescent of all shares
issued in prior sales to Crescent and issuable upon the conversion of the
Convertible Note, (3) there must be no dispute as to the adequacy of disclosures
made in any such registration statement, (4) such registration statements must
not be subject to any stop order, suspension or withdrawal, (5) the Company must
have performed its covenants and obligations under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, (6) no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or
injunction may have been enacted, entered, promulgated or adopted by any court
of governmental authority that would prohibit the Company's performance under
the Securities Purchase Agreement, (7) the company's common stock must not have
been delisted from its principal trading market and there must be no trading
suspension of its common stock in effect, and (8) the issuance of the designated
number of shares of common stock with respect to the applicable sale must not
violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Company's principal trading
market. The aggregate amount of all sale shares and convertible notes issued
cannot exceed $10 million. The amount of the sale is limited to twice the
average of the bid price multiplied by the trading volume during the 22 trading
day period immediately preceding the date of sale. When the total amount of
securities issued to the investorCrescent equals or exceeds $5 million, then the Company
shall issue to the investorCrescent a subsequent incentive warrant exercisable to purchase
400,000 shares of common stock at a price equal to the bid price on the date the
incentive warrant is issued.
Even though Crescent has no investment discretion with respect to shares of
common stock that the Company may
8
require it to purchase under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may
not be able to satisfy one or more of these conditions at any time that it
desires to raise funds from Crescent.
The initial funding of $2.5 million combined with the $308,000 cash on hand at
September 30, 2001 will allow the Company to pay the subcontractors for the OTE
order, complete two installations at time-share resorts, complete the opening of
the branch office in Piraeus, Greece and provide working capital for operations.
Risks Relating to Our Shares
Shareholders may suffer dilution from this offering and from the exercise of
existing options, warrants and convertible notes; the terms upon which we will
be able to obtain additional equity capital could be adversely affected.
Our common stock may become diluted if warrants and options to purchase our
common stock are exercised and if Crescent converts our outstanding $2,500,000
Convertible Note into shares of our common stock. The conversion price of
Crescent's Convertible Note is the lower of $1.1561 and a price based on a
formula determined at the time of conversion. We have limited rights to delay
conversion for up to 180 days from the date triggering those rights if the
conversion price determined by the formula is below $0.75 per share. At this
price, conversion by Crescent of its Convertible Note would result in the
issuance of 3,333,333 shares. We are required to register for resale shares
issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note to the extent they are not
registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
As of June 11, 2002, the conversion price of the Convertible Note was $0.4233,
which would result in the issuance of 5,905,977 shares. Crescent has informed us
that it has no current intent to convert the Convertible Note into shares of our
common stock and that any decision as to whether to convert in full or in part
will be based on relevant facts, circumstances and market conditions existing at
the time of the decision.
In addition to the dilution resulting from a conversion of the Convertible Note,
we could be subject to further dilution upon exercise of a Protective Warrant,
if and when issued to Crescent. The number of shares of our common stock that
can be purchased upon exercise of the protective warrant is equal to the number
of shares of our common stock that is determined by subtracting the amount paid
by Crescent for its initial purchase of the Company's common stock, i.e.
$500,000, divided by the purchase price, from an amount which is equal to
$500,000 divided by the price of the common stock for the Company as computed on
the effective date of the Company's registration statement. Under the terms of
the Protective Warrant, if the price for the Company's common stock as computed
on the effective date of the registration statement filed on behalf of Crescent
is higher than the purchase price for the Company's common stock, as computed on
the date Crescent purchased such shares, the Protective Warrant does not become
exercisable.
Irrespective of whether Crescent exercises its warrants or converts its
Convertible Note, our common stock is subject to further dilution upon the
issuance of shares of our common stock to Crescent that could occur if we
require Crescent to purchase additional shares of our common stock for up to
$7,500,000. These additional shares would be at a discount to the then current
market price. The purchase price, with respect to the sale of common stock by us
to Crescent, is determined by taking the lower of $1.1561 and 92% of the average
of the lowest three consecutive bid prices during the 22 trading day period
immediately preceding the applicable sale date. Dilution resulting from issuance
of said shares will depend on the trading price at the time the common stock is
sold. Illustrations of such effect can be found on page 18. Under the terms of
our securities purchase agreement with Crescent, the number of shares to be
purchased by Crescent or to be obtained upon exercise of warrants or conversion
of the Convertible Note held by Crescent cannot exceed the number of shares
that, when combined with all other shares of common stock and securities then
owned by Crescent, would result in Crescent owning more than 9.9% of our
outstanding common stock at any given point of time. Our agreements with
Crescent obligate us to register any shares of our common stock that we require
Crescent to purchase. Neither Crescent nor any of its affiliates can directly or
indirectly engage in any short sale of the Company's common stock. See "Recently
Issued Securities" on page 15 for a more complete description of our agreements
with Crescent.
Because the amount of securities to be issued to Crescent is based on a formula
that is tied to the market price of our shares, issuance of these securities
could result in significant dilution of the per share amounts of our shares. The
inverse relationship between the price and the amount of securities to be issued
may have the following results:
. the lower the average trading price of our shares at the time we
request Crescent to purchase additional shares, the greater the number
of securities that can be issued, and the greater the risk of dilution
caused by these securities;
. the perceived risk of dilution may cause Crescent or other
shareholders to sell their shares, which could
9
contribute to a downward movement in the stock price of shares; and
. any significant downward pressure on the trading price of our shares
could encourage shareholders to engage in short sales, which could
further contribute to a price decline of our shares.
These shares, as well as the eligibility for additional restricted shares to be
sold in the future, either pursuant to future registrations under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption such as Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, may have a dilutive effect on the market for the price
of our common stock. The terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional
equity capital could also be adversely affected. In addition, the sale of common
stock offered by this prospectus, or merely the possibility that these sales
could occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common
stock.
It is likely that our shares will be subject to substantial price and volume
fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our
control.
The securities markets have recently experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations. The market prices and volume of securities of technology and
development-stage companies have been especially volatile. Market volatility and
other market conditions could reduce the market price for our shares despite
operating performance. In addition, if our operating performance falls below
expectations, the market price of our shares could decrease significantly. You
may be unable to resell shares at or above the registration price. In the past,
companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock
have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we were the
subject of such litigation we could experience substantial litigation costs and
diversion of management's attention and resources.
We have not paid any dividends and have no expectation of paying dividends in
the foreseeable future.
We have not declared, paid, or distributed any cash dividends on our shares in
the past, nor are any cash dividends contemplated in the foreseeable future.
There is no assurance that our operations will generate any profits from which
to pay cash dividends. Even if profits are generated through operations in the
future, our present intent is to retain any such profits for acquisitions,
product development, production and marketing, and for general working capital
requirements.
Our shares are not widely traded.
There is only a limited market for our shares. If a large portion of the shares
eligible for immediate resale after registration were to be offered for public
resale within a short period of time, the current public market would likely be
unable to absorb such shares. This could result in a significant reduction in
current market prices. There can be no assurance that investors will be able to
resell shares at the price they paid for the shares or at any price.
Our shares are subject to special trading rules relating to "penny stocks" which
restrict trading.
Our shares are covered by an SEC rule that imposes additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell "penny stock" to persons other than
certain established customers. For transactions covered by the rule, the
broker-dealer must obtain sufficient information from the customer to make an
appropriate suitability determination, provide the customer with a written
statement setting forth the basis of the determination and obtain a signed copy
of the suitability statement from the customer. The rule may affect the ability
of broker-dealers to sell our shares and also may affect your ability to sell
shares in the secondary market.
Risks Related to Our Strategy
We may be unable to identify or acquire additional technologies or products to
diversify our product offering.offering which could reduce our ability to generate
revenues.
One of our goals is to become a leading provider of niche electronic products.
We expect to avoid reliance upon any one given product through acquisition
and/or development of additional technologies and products. However, we may be
unable to identify or acquire technologies or products. In that case, we may
have to rely upon our own resources to develop such technologies and products
internally. We may not have sufficient resources to do this. In addition,
acquisitions involve a number of special risks, such as diversion of
management's attention and financing issues, which may have a negative impact on
operations and financial performance. The Company does not have any current
plans or proposals for any acquisitions at this time.
10
We may not be able to efficiently integrate any acquired technologies, products
or businesses.
10
businesses which may require additional time by senior management and disrupt
our current business.
We expectwill actively look to acquire technologies, products and other businesses to
complement our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
integrate the operations of any other business successfully. Acquisitions we do
undertake will subject us to a number of risks, including the following:
. inability to institute the necessary systems and procedures, such as
accounting and financial reporting systems;
. assumption of debt;
. issuance of additional common stock, thereby diluting current
shareholders ownership;
. reallocation of managements time away from its current activities;
. failure to retain key personnel; and .o assumption of unanticipated legal
liabilities and other problems.
In addition, we may acquire technologies or products that prove incompatible to
other products following further development.
Even if we successfully integrate acquired technologies, products or businesses,
wethe additional strain on management and current resources may be unable toprevent us from
effectively managemanaging the growth.
We seek to become profitable by expanding sales of Orasis(R), the OraLynx(TM)
set-top box and any new products that we may develop or acquire. To manage
growth, we may be required to:
. improve existing and implement new operational, production and personnel
systems;
. hire, train and manage additional qualified personnel; and
. establish relationships with additional suppliers and strategic partners
while maintaining existing relationships.
The existing purchase orders received from international companies and the
set-top box agreement subjects us
to risks associated with international operations.operation, such as collection of accounts
receivable, foreign currency fluctuations and regulatory requirements .
As we begin shipping under the purchase orders and set-top box agreement, we
risk exposure to international risks, including:
. greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection and longer
collection periods;
. unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
. foreign currency fluctuations;
. reduced protection of intellectual property rights;
. potentially adverse tax consequences; and
. political instability.
At the present time, the Company is only currently operating in one foreign
country, Greece. However, as the Company continues to grow and develop,
expansion may very well occur in other countries, primarily in Europe.
Risks Related to Development, Production and Marketing of Our Products
The Company has developed two products in five years and the future of the
Company will be affected by the success of these products.
From June of 1997 through June of 1999, the Company was principally engaged in
research and development activities involving the hand-held computer. Since
then, the Company has been working on new technologies, in particular the design
and development of the set-top boxes. The Company's products have been sold in
limited quantities and there can be no assurance that a significant market will
develop for such products in the future. Therefore, the Company's inability to
develop, manufacture and market its products on a timely basis may have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial results.
11
Product development involves substantial expense and resource allocation that
may exceed our capabilities.
We incurred substantial expense in developing the Orasis(R) computer. We expect
to continue to develop enhancements and accessory equipment to meet customer and
market demands. The OraLynx(TM) set-top box is in the final development stage.
Although we anticipate further expense associated with the final stage of
development, it will not be substantial. However, delays in development arising
from insufficient cash or personnel resources will hinder our ability to bring
these products to market before competitors introduce comparable products. In
that case, we will miss the opportunity to capitalize on the technological
advances, which we believe such products may offer.
We depend on outside sources for components and may be harmed by unavailability
of components, excessive prices for components or unexpected delays in component
deliveries.
The Orasis(R) and OraLynx(TM) set-top box use or will use various component
parts, such as PCBs, microchips and fabricated metal parts. We must obtain these
components from manufacturers and third-party vendors. OurWhile we do not
anticipate any possible delays or problems in securing parts, our reliance on
those manufacturers and vendors, as well as industry component supply, creates manymay
create risks including the following:
. the possibility of a shortage of components;
. increases in component costs;
11
. variable component quality;
. reduced control over delivery schedules; and
. potential manufacturer/vendor reluctance to extend credit to us.
Additionally, we are currently utilizing the services of a subcontractor for the
manufacture of our OraLynx(TM) set-top box. If this subcontractor is unable to
meet our requests for product, or if there is a shortage of component parts or
if the cost of these parts substantially increases, our operations and our
success in the marketplace could be materially and adversely affected. The
Company has secured alternative subcontractors and vendors, should our current
sources be unavailable. However, similar risks are present with these
alternative sources.
Errors or defects in our products could result in customer refund or product
liability claims.claims causing an impact on market penetration, acceptance of our
products, profitability and on the cash flow of the Company.
Because our products are complex, they could contain errors or bugs that can be
detected at any point in a product's life cycle. While we continually test our
products for errors and will work with customers to identify and correct bugs,
errors may be found in the future. Although many of these errors may prove to be
immaterial, any of these errors could be significant. Detection of any
significant errors may result in:
. loss of or delay in market acceptance and sales of our products;
. diversion of development resources;
. injury to our reputation; or
. increased maintenance and warranty costs.
Errors or defects could harm our business and future operating results. With
defective products, our market share would be negatively impacted and the
Company would lose substantial future revenue. Moreover, because our products
will be used in critical computing functions, we may receive significant
liability claims if our products do not work properly. Our agreements with
customers typically do and will contain provisions intended to limit our
exposure to product liability claims. However, these provisions may not preclude
all potential claims. Liability claims could require us to spend significant
time, money and effort in litigation. They also may result in substantial damage
awards. Any such claim, whether or not successful, could materially damage our
reputation, andcause a strain on our results of operation.operation with the lack of revenue
and additional expenses, and burden management resources by focusing efforts on
the errors or defects as opposed to product development and growth.
We will be unable to develop, produce and market our products without qualified
professionals and seasoned management.
Our success depends in large part on our ability to recruit and retain
professionals, key management and operating
12
personnel. We need to complete development of the OraLynx(TM) set-top box,
continue to develop and modify the Orasis(R) and coordinate production of
Orasis(R) computers and the OraLynx(TM) set-top box. We also need to develop
marketing channels to increase market awareness and sales of our products.
Qualified professionals, management and operating personnel are essential for
these purposes. Such individuals are in great demand and are likely to remain a
limited resource in the foreseeable future. Competition for them is intense and
turnover is high. If we cannot attract and retain needed personnel, we will not
succeed.
We believe that our future success will depend on our ability to retain the
services of our executive officers. These officers have developed industry
relationships that are critical to our growth and development. They also will be
essential in dealing with the significant challenges that we expect will arise
from anticipated growth in our operations.
We have an ongoing need to expand management personnel and support staff. The
loss of one or more members of management or key employees, or the inability to
hire additional personnel as needed, could have a material adverse effect on our
operations.
Risks Related to Competition within Our Industry
None of our products have achieved widespread distribution or customer
acceptance.
Although the Orasis(R) computer has passed the development stage, we have not
established a market for it. The Orasis(R) is a solution oriented, pen-based,
mobile computer system, which has been produced and marketed only on a limited
basis. As the market and applications for the Orasis(R) increase, we anticipate
its popularity and product distribution will increase; however, there is no
assurance that this will happen.
The OraLynx(TM) set-top box is in the final stage of development. We believe we
will successfully develop the OraLynx(TM) set-top box that will conform to
specifications under the set-top box agreement that will address a broad
12
market demand. There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete
develop of the OraLynx(TM) set-top box or that a market demand will exist. In
addition, if a market demand exists, it may be met with alternative products
offered by competitors or with pricing that we cannot match.
Competition in our industry is intense and we may not be able to compete
successfully due to our limited resources.
Our industry is highly competitive and dominated by competitors with substantial
resources. Continuous improvement in product pricing and performance is the key
to future success. At all levels of competition, pricing has become very
aggressive. We expect pricing pressure to continue to be intense. Many of our
competitors are larger and have significantly greater financial, technical,
marketing and manufacturing resources. They also have broader product lines,
greater brand name recognition and larger existing customer bases. As a result,
our competitors may be better able to finance acquisitions or internal growth or
respond to technological changes or customer needs.
Current and potential competitors also have established or may establish
cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase
their ability to address customer needs. There can be no assurance that we will
be able to compete successfully in developing, manufacturing or marketing our
products. An inability to do so would adversely affect our business, financial
condition and market price of our shares.
Our industry is subject to rapid technological change and we may not be able to
keep up.
Rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements,
uncertain product life cycles and changes in customer demands and evolving
industry standards, characterize the computer industry. Our products could
become obsolete if products based on new technologies are introduced or if new
industry standards emerge.
Computer equipment is inherently complex. As a result, we cannot accurately
estimate the life cycles of our products. New products and product enhancements
can require long development and testing periods, which requires retention of
increasingly scarce technically competent personnel. Significant delays in new
product releases or significant problems in installing or implementing new
products can seriously damage our business. In the past, we have experienced
delays in scheduled product introductions and cannot be certain that we will
avoid similar delays in the future. We must produce products that are
technologically advanced and comparable to and competitive with those made by
others. Otherwise, our products may become obsolete or we will fail to achieve
market acceptance.
Our future success depends on our ability to enhance existing products, develop
and introduce new products, satisfy customer requirements and achieve market
acceptance. We cannot be certain that we will successfully identify new product
opportunities and develop and bring new products to market in a timely and
cost-effective manner. We may sell fewer products if other vendors' products are
no longer compatible with ours or other vendors bundle their products with those
of our competitors and sell them at lower prices.
Our ability to sell our products depends in part on the compatibility of our
products with other vendors' software and hardware products. For example,
Orasis(R) will not sell if it cannot run software, or access resources such as
Internet or telephone services provided by others. The same is true for the
set-top box. Other vendors may change their products so that they will no longer
be compatible with our products. These vendors also may decide to bundle their
products with products of our competitors for promotional purposes and to
discount the sales price of the bundled products. If this were to occur, our
business and future operating results could suffer.
13
We have limited intellectual property protection and our competitors may be able
to appropriate our technology or assert infringement claims.
Our products are differentiated from those of our competitors by our internally
developed technology that is incorporated into our products. If we fail to
protect our intellectual property, others may appropriate our technology and
sell products with features similar to ours. This could reduce demand for our
products. We rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark
laws, non-disclosure and other contractual provisions with employees and third
parties, and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights in our
products. There can be no assurance that these protections will be adequate or
that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are
substantially equivalent or superior to ours.
13
We believe that our products do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of
third parties. However, there can be no assurance that third parties will not
assert infringement claims against us in the future or that a license or similar
agreement will be available on reasonable terms in the event of an unfavorable
ruling on any such claim. In addition, any such claim may require us to commit
substantial time and effort, and to incur substantial litigation expenses, and
may subject us to significant liabilities that could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our business and operations may be affected by government regulations.
Our products may be subject to various federal, state and other government
regulations. For example, we are required to obtain CE approval and
certification for the set-top box under the set-top box agreement. If we do not
receive such approval and certification within thirty days of application,
production will be postponed. In addition, if we do not receive such approval
and certification within sixty days of application, the buyer may terminate the
agreement. The Company may terminate the agreement if permits to install fiber
optic and other infrastructure equipment are not issued to the buyer. Even if
such permits are issued, delays in issuance will delay set-top box orders and
shipments. Consequently, government regulations may interfere with our business
plans and could have an adverse effect on our ability to develop and market our
products.

DILUTION
AsRECENTLY ISSUED SECURITIES
On September 28, 2001 the Company entered into a $10 million Securities Purchase
Agreement with Crescent International Ltd., an institutional investor. Under the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Convertible Note for $2.5
million. Although the Company had the option to issue further convertible notes
to Crescent subject to certain conditions precedent, such option expired on
February 1, 2002 and no additional notes were issued. In addition, the Company
issued warrants exercisable to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock at a
price of $1.3064 per share for a five-year term. The Stock Purchase Agreement
further permits the Company to sell to Crescent up to $7.5 million in common
stock of the Company over a 24-month period. Additionally, the Company agreed
not to exercise any drawdowns against its then existing common stock purchase
agreement with Techrich International Ltd., which expired on January 28, 2002.
The Securities Purchase Agreement permits the Company to sell to Crescent and
requires Crescent to purchase from the Company, at the Company's sole
discretion, common stock of the Company for up to $7.5 million over a 24-month
period. Individual sales are limited to $1.5 million, or a higher amount if
agreed to by the Company and Crescent, and each sale is subject to our
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (none of which are within the
control of Crescent): (1) the Company's representations and warranties must be
true and complete, (2) the Company must have one or more then currently
effective registration statements covering the resale by Crescent of all shares
issued in prior sales to Crescent and issuable upon the conversion of the
Convertible Note, (3) there must be no dispute as to the extentadequacy of disclosures
made in any such registration statement, (4) such registration statements must
not be subject to any stop order, suspension or withdrawal, (5) the Company must
have performed its covenants and obligations under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, (6) no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or
injunction may have been enacted, entered, promulgated or adopted by any court
of governmental authority that would prohibit the Company's performance under
the Securities Purchase Agreement, (7) the company's common stock must not have
been delisted from its principal trading market and there must be no trading
suspension of its common stock in effect, and (8) the issuance of the designated
number of shares of common stock with respect to the applicable sale must not
violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Company's principal trading
market. The aggregate amount of all sale shares and convertible notes issued
cannot exceed $10 million. The amount of the sale is limited to twice the
average of the bid price multiplied by the trading volume during the 22 trading
day period immediately preceding the date of sale. When the total amount of
securities issued to Crescent equals or exceeds $5 million, then the Company
shall issue to Crescent a subsequent incentive warrant exercisable to purchase
400,000 shares of common stock at a price equal to the bid price on the date the
incentive warrant is issued.
Convertible Note Issued to Crescent International
On October 2, 2001, in accordance with the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Company issued a Convertible Note to Crescent in the amount of
$2,500,000, due September 28, 2004. The Company is not required to pay interest
on the Note unless the Company fails for a period of 10 trading days to issue
shares upon conversion or pay the remaining principal of the Note upon maturity
or redemption. If the Company fails to issue shares or pay the
remaining principal upon maturity or redemption, interest shall be payable at a
fixed rate of 8% per annum, payable in quarterly installments, on the
outstanding principal balance immediately prior to the date of conversion, until
the Note is fully converted or redeemed.
The Company retains the right to redeem the Convertible Note upon 30 days notice
at a price of 110% during the first year of its issuance, 120% during the second
year and 130% thereafter. Additionally, the Company can require the conversion
of the note into shares of our common stock if we satisfy each of the following
requirements:
. The shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Convertible Note may be sold by Crescent without registration and
without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule
144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities
Act of 1933;
. The bid price for each of the 22 trading days immediately
preceding the date of notice of a required conversion is delivered
by the Company to Crescent is at least $1.881 (190% of Bid Price
on Subscription Date);
15
. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Crescent, the number of
shares of our common stock issuable upon such required conversion
of the Convertible Note is less than twice the average of the
daily trading volume during the 22 trading day period immediately
preceding the date of notice of a required conversion is delivered
by the Company to Crescent;
. At least 22 trading days have elapsed since a conversion date
relating to a prior conversion required by the Company or
Crescent; and
. No shares are subject to any shareholder agreements, lock-up
provisions or restrictions on transfer of any kind whatsoever.
The holder of the Note may convert the Note in whole or in part to common stock
of the Company at any time at the lower of $1.1561 or the average of the lowest
three consecutive bid prices during the 22 days preceding the date of
conversion. The conversion price and the number of note conversion shares is
subject to certain standard anti-dilution adjustments including
reclassification, consolidation, merger or mandatory share exchange; subdivision
or combination of shares; stock dividends; and the issuance of additional
capital shares by us at prices less than the conversion price.
We have the right to reject any conversion if the average bid price of our
common stock during the seven trading days preceding the delivery date of
Crescent's conversion notice is less than $0.75 per share. This right expires
120 days after it is first exercised by us. Based upon this provision, the
maximum number of shares of our common stock that we may be required to issue
upon the conversion of the Convertible Note would be 3,333,333 shares assuming
the conversion price is $0.75 per share.
In furtherance of this transaction, the Company entered into a registration
rights agreement, whereby it is required to file a registration statement, of
which this prospectus is a part, on behalf of Crescent with respect to the note
conversion shares and warrant shares issuable pursuant to the warrants issued to
Crescent. Similar registration statements are to be filed for each subsequent
sale of securities to Crescent. The failure of the Company to obtain the
effectiveness of its registration statements as required under the registration
rights agreement may subject it to certain financial penalties.
Securities issuable to Crescent International
Under the Securities Purchase Agreement with Crescent International Ltd., we can
obtain, subject to applicable fees and expenses and the terms and conditions of
the agreement, an additional $7.5 million by selling up to 10,000,000 shares of
our common stock to Crescent at various points in time, beginning 22 days after
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective.
Additionally, Crescent had the right to assign its obligation to purchase shares
of our common stock to affiliates of Crescent; however, Crescent has informed us
that it has no current or future plans to assign its obligations.
Specifically, with regard to the sale of shares of our common stock to
Crescent, we can from time to time at our option and subject to the limitations
described in this prospectus, issue and sell shares of our common stock with an
aggregate purchase price of up to twice the average daily trading value during
the 22 trading day period immediately preceding the date of the notice by us
requiring Crescent to purchase, but no more than $1.5 million at one time. The
purchase price is determined by taking the lower of $1.1561 and 92% of the
average of the lowest three consecutive bid prices during the 22 trading day
period immediately preceding the applicable sale date.
Under the agreement we are required to register the shares issuable to Crescent
through the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and
subsequent registration statements.
Warrants Issued to Crescent International
Incentive Warrant
In further consideration for Crescent entering into the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Company issued an Incentive Warrant to Crescent exercisable to
purchase 700,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.3064 per share. The
Incentive Warrant is exercisable for a five-year period commencing September 28,
2001, and provides for adjustment in the price and number of warrant shares:
16
. If the Company, at any time while the Incentive Warrant is unexpired
and not exercised in full, consummates a reclassification,
consolidation, merger or mandatory share exchange, sale, transfer or
lease of substantially all of the assets of the Company;
. If the Company, at any time while the Incentive Warrant is unexpired
and not exercised in full, shall subdivide its common stock, combine
its common stock, pay a dividend in its capital shares, or make any
other distribution of its capital shares; and
. If the Company, at any time while the Incentive Warrant is unexpired
and not exercised in full, makes a distribution of its assets or
evidences of indebtedness to the holders of its capital shares as a
dividend in liquidation or by way of return of capital or other than as
a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for
dividends under applicable law or any distribution to such holders made
in respect of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, or any spin-off of any of the Company's lines of business,
divisions or subsidiaries.
Upon each adjustment of the exercise price, the number of shares of our common
stock issuable in connection with the Incentive Warrant at the option of
Crescent shall be calculated, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share,
multiplying the number of shares of our common stock issuable prior to an
adjustment by a fraction:
. The numerator of which shall be the exercise price before any adjustment;
and
. The denominator of which shall be the exercise price after such
adjustment.
In addition, Crescent may not exercise its warrant if, at the time of exercise,
the number of shares that it would receive, together with all other shares of
the Company's common stock which it beneficially owns, would result in Crescent
owning more than 9.9% of the Company's common stock as would be outstanding on
the exercise date.
Protective Warrant
In further consideration for Crescent entering into the Securities Purchase
Agreement, if the Company elects to exercise its right with respect to any
subsequent sale to require Crescent to purchase shares of our common stock that
have not been previously registered and are not covered by an effective
registration statement, then on each closing date related to each subsequent
sale, the Company shall issue to Crescent a Protective Warrant with an exercise
price of $0.01 per share of common stock, for the purchase of such number of
shares which shall be determined by subtracting (x) the investment amount with
respect to the applicable subsequent sale divided by the purchase price on the
sale date from (y) the investment amount with respect to the applicable
subsequent sale divided by the purchase price on the effective date applicable
to the sale date.
Liquidated Damages
Pursuant to our registration rights agreement with Crescent, we are required to
pay Crescent liquidated damages if we fail to obtain the effectiveness of any
registration statement, including any future registration statement, required
under our registration rights agreement, or to maintain its effectiveness for
the period required under our registration rights agreement. If we fail to
obtain the effectiveness of any registration statement for which effectiveness
is required
under our registration rights agreement, we are required under the registration
rights agreement to pay to Crescent an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate
purchase price paid by Crescent for securities that are registered for resale,
or required to be registered for resale, by Crescent as described in this
prospectus, for each calendar month and for each portion of a calendar month,
pro rata, during the period from the effective date of the applicable
registration statement to the effective date of the applicable deficit shares
registration statement.
We will also be liable for liquidated damages similarly computed if we fail to
keep any required registration statement effective for a period of time ending
180 days after the termination of Crescent's obligation to purchase shares of
our common stock, plus one day for each day that we have failed to obtain or
maintain effectiveness of the registration statement.
Right of First Refusal
Crescent has been granted a right of first refusal for any or all shares in future transactions,
current stockholders'a
proposed sale by us of our securities in a private placement transaction exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, until 60 days

17
the date the Securities Purchase Agreement between Crescent and us is
terminated. Such right of first refusal shall be held open to Crescent for five
trading days from the date of the proposed offer to sell the securities.
10% Limitation With Respect to Crescent

of shares to be purchased by Crescent or to be obtained upon exercise of
warrants or conversion of the Convertible Note held by Crescent cannot exceed
the number of shares that, when combined with all other shares of common stock
and securities then owned by Crescent, would result in Crescent owning more than

These revenues are only for six months, since the Company acquired the net
assets of Suncoast on July 1, 2001. Design service revenue increased from
$796,000 in 2000 to $1,346,000 in 2001, an increase of 69%. Design service
revenues in 2000 were for four and one-half months, since the date of
acquisition of Advanced Digital Designs, Inc. ("ADD") on August 18, 2000. Design
service revenues began declining during the second half of 2001, as customers
began canceling projects and not beginning new ones. Cost of sales decreased
from $2,376,000 in 2000 to $1,680,000 in 2001. Cost of sales in 2000 included a
write down of obsolete inventory of $1,440,000 and a write down of inventory to
its net realizable value of $510,000. Cost of sales for 2001 includes the costs
of the set-top boxes sold, as well as a write down of obsolete inventory of
$490,000. Cost of services increased from $500,000 in 2000 to $1,137,000 in
2001. Cost of services for 2000 are included only from the date of acquisition
of ADD, representing four and one-half months. Cost of services consist
primarily of payroll and related employee benefits of the engineers performing
the services. Gross profit for design services decreased from 37% in 2000 to 16%
in 2001. The decline in gross profit is a result of the decline in revenues
while cost of services remained at annualized levels did not decrease in
proportion to the revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately
$4,742,000 for 2001 as compared to $3,630,000 for 2000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for 2000 consisted of professional fees and financial
service expenses related to the private placement, salaries for administrative
personnel, expenses for the common stock purchase agreement, administrative
costs associated with the design services subsidiary, ADD and costs associated
with exercising the drawdown. For the year 2001, these selling, general and
administrative costs were partially offset by primarily expenses associated with
the issuance of common stock for reimbursement pursuant to a personal guarantee,
salaries for administrative and marketing personnel, expenses in establishing
the operations of the Greek branch office and expenses pertaining to the
Suncoast subsidiary. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses
for 2001 are the operations of the branch office in Greece, amounting to
approximately $300,000. Also included in 2001 are six months of selling, general
and administrative expenses of Suncoast, included since the date of acquisition.
These approximated $490,000.
Research and Development costs increased to approximately $2,434,000 for 2001 as
compared to $1,472,000 for 2000. Approximately 84% of Research and Development
in 2001 consisted of costs associated with the development of the OraLynx(TM)
set-top box, with approximately 16% for the development of the new version of
the Orasis(R). Research and Development costs in 2000 were for the development
of the OraLynx(TM) set-top box.
Amortization of goodwill associated with the acquisition of ADD amounted to
$1,100,000, whereas in 2000, only four and one-half months of amortization are
included, which amounted to $412,500.
Asset impairment and other losses for 2001 consisted of the write off of the
remaining goodwill associated with the acquisition of ADD of $3,987,500 and
$290,000 of an investment in non-marketable securities. During the fourth
quarter of 2001 the Company determined that the set-top box design was completed
and the design services business with outside customers was declining, therefore
an impairment of the goodwill associated with the acquisition of ADD occurred.
The Company revised its projections and determined that the projected results
would not fully support the future amortization carrying value of the goodwill
balance. In addition, the Company determined that the carrying value of its
investment in non-marketable securities had been impaired since the investment
had discontinued paying dividends in 2001 and due to the overall poor financial
condition of the issuing company.
Interest expense increased to approximately $274,000 for the year ended December
31, 2001 from $68,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. Included in interest
expense in 2001 is three months amortization of the debt discount associated
with the Convertible Note, amounting to $252,000. The remaining interest is
related to capital equipment leases and other borrowings. Interest expense in
2000 comparedwas a result of the capital equipment leases and other borrowings. Interest
on these leases and other borrowings decreased from $68,000 to $22,000 because
the outstanding balances on the capital leases and borrowings have decreased.
21
Results of Operations December 31, 2000 Compared to December 31, 1999
Revenue for the Company decreased from approximately $2,279,000 in 1999 to
$860,000 in 2000. The revenue decreased as a result of the Company shifting away
fromCompany's decision to
eliminate contract manufacturing and focusing its efforts on the development of
the set-top box. The Company determined that contract manufacturing was no
longer profitable and did not fit in to the overall business plan of the
Company. Contract manufacturing revenues approximated $2,000,000 in 1999.
Revenue for 2000 was also aided by the design services and consulting of the
Company's subsidiary, Advanced Digital Designs ("ADD").ADD. Gross revenue from ADD from the date of acquisition
of August 18, 2000, amount to approximately $985,000. Gross profit margins are
not comparable for the period due to the fluctuations in revenue. The gross
profit margin for both years were effected by the write down of obsolete
inventory. For the year ended December 31, 2000 the write down of obsolete
inventory and the reserve for potential obsolete Orasis(R) inventory amounted to
$1,950,000 as compared to the write-off of obsolete inventory in the year ended
December 31, 1999 of $1,793,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately
$4,043,000 for 2000 as compared to $4,173,000 for 1999. The increase in
professional fees and financial service expenses related to the private
placement, common stock purchase agreement and cost associated with exercising
the drawdown, amounting to approximately $985,000, were offset by staff
reductions and other cost cutting measures implemented by management.management
approximating $1,115,000. The Company decided to eliminate contract
manufacturing in the third-quarter. The employee count at RMS was reduced from
185 employees during the beginning of 1999 to six employees at December 31,
2000. In addition, certain related expenses were also reduced, such as health
insurance, telephone, travel and entertainment, utilities, office supplies and
other administrative expenses.
Research and Development costs increased to approximately $1,472,000 for 2000 as
compared to $510,000 for 1999. Research and Development in 2000 consisted of
costs associated with the development of the OraLynx(TM) set-top box, whereas in
1999, these costs were for the continued development of the Orasis(R).
Interest expense decreased to approximately $1,370,000$68,000 for the year ended December
31, 2000 from $2,099,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Interest expense
in 2000 was primarily generated from the issuance of common stock at a
price below market value. Interest expense in 1999 was mainly a result of the
financing activities associated with the conversion of debt to common stock as
well as the issuance of warrants associated with the debt.
Results of Operations - Year ended December 31, 1999 compared to December 31,
1998
Revenue decreased from approximately $5,368,000 in 1998 to approximately
$2,279,000 in 1999. The decrease is a direct result of management's change in
corporate strategy moving away from contract manufacturing and towards new
product design and development. Gross profits are not comparable between 1999
and 1998 due to the decrease in revenue and the write down of inventory of
approximately $1,793,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in 1999 to approximately
$4,173,000 from $3,273,000 in 1998. The increase was due to the increase in
professional and consulting fees associated with capital raising efforts, the
impairment of goodwill and costs associated with the reduction of overhead and
staffing.
Research and Development expenses decreased from approximately $1,576,000 in
1998 to approximately $510,000 in 1999. During 1998, substantially all the
efforts were for the development of the Orasis. During 1999, the Orasis was in
production and only minor modification and development work was necessary.
Interest expense increased from $968,000 in 1998 to approximately $2,099,000 in
1999. The increase in interest
18
expense is directly related to the financial constraints on the Company during
1999. Interest expense in 1999 was mainly the result of the financing activities associated with the
conversion of debt to common stock as well as the issuance of warrants
associated with the debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred a net operating loss in each year since its founding
and as of September 30, 2001March 31, 2002 has an accumulated deficit of approximately
$51,893,000.$61,526,000. The Company expects to incur operating losses over the near term.
The Company's ability to achieve profitability will depend on many factors
including the Company's ability to manufacture and market commercially
acceptable products including its set-top box. Financial success will also
depend on amending contract terms to result in net revenue in excess of costs of
manufacture and selling, general and administrative costs. There can be no assurance that
the Company will ever achieve a profitable level of operations or if
profitability is achieved, that it can be sustained.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company used $976,000 of cash in
operating activities, used $315,000 in investing activities and generated
$802,000 of cash from financing activities that produced a decrease in cash of
$489,000 for the three months. The net loss of $1,932,000 was partially offset
by the non-cash items of depreciation and amortization and amortization of the
debt discount associated with the Convertible Note. Investing activities
consisted of the purchase of equipment for installations associated with the
interactive cable systems. Financing activities consisted of the exercise of
warrants and the increase in mortgage note payable and short-term borrowings. As
of March 31, 2002, the Company had current liabilities in excess of current
assets, whereas at December 31, 2001, the Company had a current asset to current
liabilities ratio of 2.0. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,
included in this report, detail the other sources and uses of cash and cash
equivalents.
In the second quarter of 2000, the Company entered into a common stock purchase
agreement, escrow agreement and registration rights agreement with an
institutional investor.Techrich
International Ltd., ("Techrich"). These agreements provideprovided a $100,000,000
equity line of credit for use by the Company at its discretion. During the third
and fourth quarters of 2000, the Company received $7,000,000 from the equity
line in exchange for the issuance of 2,136,616 of common stock. In the third
quarter of 2001, the Company received an additional $300,000 from the equity
line in exchange for 258,968 shares of common stock. The shares underlying the
equity line of credit with Techrich were registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission with an S-1 filing, File No. 333-35808, dated July 20, 2000
and effective on July 28, 2000.
22
On September 28, 2001 the Company entered into a $10 million Securities Purchase
Agreement
in the amount of $10 million with Crescent International Ltd. The initial
funding established, ("Crescent") an institutional
investor. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a $2.5 million
Convertible Note withfor $2.5 million. Although the Company had the option to issue
further Convertible Notes.convertible notes to Crescent subject to certain conditions precedent,
such option expired on February 1, 2002 and no additional notes were issued. In
addition, the Company issued warrants exercisable to purchase 700,000 shares of
common stock at a price of $1.3064 per share for a five-year term. The Stock
Purchase Agreement further permits the investorCompany to purchasesell to Crescent up to $7.5
million in common stock of the Company over a 24-month period, provided the Company achieves certain conditions prior to February 1,
2002. If the Company fails to achieve these certain conditions by February 1,
2002, then the amounts the investor could purchase are affected by certain
financial criteria.period. Additionally, the
Company has agreed not to exercise any drawdowns against its then existing common
stock purchase agreement with Techrich International Ltd., which expired on
January 28, 2002.
The Securities Purchase Agreement permits the Company may elect to issue subsequent convertible notessell to Crescent and
requires Crescent to purchase from the Company, at the Company's sole
discretion, common stock of the Company for up to $7.5 million over a 24-month
period. Individual sales are limited to $1.5 million, subject to achieving certain criteria prior to February 1, 2001, such as the
total sales to OTE equals or exceeds $2.5 million and valid and documented
orders from OTE that equal or exceed 75% of the subsequent convertible note. If
after February 1, 2002, the Company can sell to the investor shares of up to
$1.2 million per sale, unless otherwisea higher amount if
agreed to by the Company and Crescent, and each sale is subject to our
satisfaction of the investor; provided, however,following conditions precedent (none of which are within the
control of Crescent): (1) the Company's representations and warranties must be
true and complete, (2) the Company must have one or more currently effective
registration statements covering the resale by Crescent of all shares issued in
prior sales to Crescent and issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible
Note, (3) there must be no dispute as to the adequacy of disclosures made in any
such registration statement, (4) such registration statements must not be
subject to any stop order, suspension or withdrawal, (5) the Company must have
performed its covenants and obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement,
(6) no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction
may have been enacted, entered, promulgated or adopted by any court of
governmental authority that would prohibit the Company's performance under the
Securities Purchase Agreement, (7) the company's common stock must not have been
delisted from its principal trading market and there must be no trading
suspension of its common stock in effect, and (8) the issuance of the designated
number of shares of common stock with respect to the applicable sale must not
violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Company's principal trading
market. The aggregate amount of all sale shares and convertible notes issued
cannot exceed $10 million. The amount of the sale is limited to twice the
average of the bid price multiplied by the trading volume during the 22 trading
day period immediately preceding the date of sale. When the total amount of
securities issued to the investorCrescent equals or exceeds $5 million, then the Company shall
issue to the investorCrescent a subsequent incentive warrant exercisable to purchase 400,000
shares of common stock at a price equal to the bid price on the date the
incentive warrant is issued. If the Company, for the purposes of sale.obtaining any
additional financing, wishes to sell shares to a party other than Crescent, the
Company shall first offer to Crescent the right to purchase such shares at the
bona fide price offered by the other party.
The Company elected to pursue the above financing arrangements with Crescent
because the Company's previous financing arrangements with Techrich contained
certain limitations as it related to the market price of our common stock, the
average volume of shares traded on a daily basis and other such factors which
would not generate the greatest benefit to the Company's shareholders. In
addition, the financing arrangement with Techrich expired at the end of January
2002. Because of the changes in circumstances and the current economic
conditions of the Company, management decided to explore alternative financing
arrangements. Several alternatives were reviewed, including private placement
transactions, various long-term debt arrangements with different investment
bankers and other equity line arrangements similar to the one with Techrich.
Management felt that the arrangement with Crescent was the best alternative and
was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
The Company expects to rely on the above financing arrangements in order to
continue its development of products and to continue its ongoing operations in
the short-term. The long-term cash needs of the Company will be dependent on the
successful development of the Company's products and their success in the market
place. At the current rate, the Company is not able to internally generate
sufficient funds for operations and will be required to rely on outside sources
for continued funding until such time as the Company's operations generate a
profit and cash is generated from operations. The Company has historically
issued and may continue, if the circumstances warrant, to issue common stock to
vendors and suppliers in lieu of cash for products and services provided to the
Company.
BUSINESS
Overview
Dauphin Technology, Inc. ("Dauphin" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries
design manufacture and market mobile hand-held, pen-based computers as well as
other electronic devices for home and business use and performsset-top boxes. The
Company is also a provider of private, interactive cable systems to the extended
23
stay hospitality industry. One of the Company's subsidiaries has performed
design services, process methodology consultingspecializing in hardware and intellectual propertysoftware development, out of its
three locationsto customers
in northern Illinois.the communications, computer, video and automotive industries.
The Company, an Illinois corporation, was formed on June 6, 1988 and became a
public entity in 1991. TheAs of December 31, 2001, the Company employsemployed
approximately 3550 people consisting of engineering, sales and marketing,
administrative, and other personnel. Because of the reduction in orders for
design services and the decision to terminate its operations at the facilities
in McHenry, during the first quarter of 2002, the Company laid off 24 full-time
employees and currently has 26 full-time employees. The Company's executive
offices are at 800 E. Northwest Highway, Palatine, Illinois and it has two other
facilities in northern Illinois, one in central Florida and a branch office in
Piraeus, Greece.
The Company's stock is traded on the over-the-counter market electronic bulletin
board operated by NASD, under the symbol DNTK.
In 1993 and 1994 the Company encountered severe financial problems. On January
3, 1995, the Company filed a
19
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Court for the Northern District of
Illinois, Eastern Division. The Company operated under Chapter 11 until July 23,
1996, when it was discharged as Debtor-in-Possession and bankruptcy proceedings
were closed.
Strategic Plan
Before the Company emerged from bankruptcy, the Board of Directors was
reconstituted and a new management team was recruited. Individuals with strong
engineering and manufacturing backgrounds as well as finance, accounting, sales
and marketing skills were hired. The new management formulated a strategic
business plan to diversify the Company's operations to eliminate dependence on a
single product line or industry.
The plan incorporated an initial focus on the hand-held mobile computer market.
In particular, it focused on development of miniaturized mobile computers that
would be incorporated in electronic solutions for vertical markets. In addition
to mobile computing markets, management is focused on producing and marketing
other electronic devices, namely set top boxes, coupled with targeted
acquisitions in the technology sector.
As part of management's plan, on June 6, 1997 the Company acquired all of the
outstanding shares of stock in R.M. Schultz & Associates, Inc. ("RMS"), an
electronic contract-manufacturing firm located in McHenry, Illinois. In 1999,
the Company terminated the operations of RMS because the entity was not
profitable and used, rather than provided, cash in its operations.
On August 28, 2000 the Company, through a newly formed subsidiary named ADD
Acquisition Corp., acquired all of the assets of T & B Design, Inc. (f/k/a
Advanced Digital Designs, Inc.) ("ADD"), Advanced Technologies, Inc. ("ATI"), and 937 Plum Grove
Road Partnership ("937") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. The subsidiary then
changed its name to Advanced Digital Designs, Inc. ("ADD"). ADD and ATI specializespecializes in
design services in the telecommunications industry, especially wireless and
cable-based product development, as well as multimedia development, including
digital video decoding and processing.
To assist the Company in the further development and marketing of its set-top
box products, on July 1, 2001 the Company acquired substantially all of the net
assets of Suncoast Automation, Inc. ("Suncoast"). Suncoast is a provider of
private, interactive cable systems to the extended stay hospitality industry
utilizing the Company's set-top boxes.
In August 2001, the Company signed a sales and marketing agreement with the
Hellenic Telecommunications Organization S.A. (OTE) to sell set-top boxes
through their more than 400 retail shops, as well as to participate in several
vertical projects, meaning with other businesses or governmental agencies, that
OTE is managing. This relationship marks the Company's entry into the consumer
marketplace with its products. As a result of the agreement with OTE and other
similar marketing agreements reached with Orbit Plan and the Dialogue Group of
Companies, we established a European branch office consisting of twelve sales,
marketing, customer service and technical support personnel located in Piraeus,
Greece.
The Company plans to market and distribute for consumer use, complementary
peripheral devices manufactured by other vendors in conjunction with its set-top
boxes. A portfolio of complimentary peripheral devices would include video
telephones, displays, home cinema equipment, wireless local area network (LAN)
devices and various conferencing accessories. Specific consumer markets include
retail chains, Internet Service Providers (ISP), and satellite
24
programming providers.
As a result of the agreements noted above, the Company has become involved in
vertical projects to develop communications solutions for law enforcement,
defense, surveillance and Olympic security utilizing Terrestrial Trunked Radio
(TETRA) technology. As a part of this solution, the Company has begun
development of a next generation Orasis(R) by exploring alternative mobile
hand-held computer products through original equipment manufacturers.
Products and Services
Orasis(R) is a hand-held computer developed by the Company with features to meet
the expressed desires of many potential customers. The unit was developed with
the multi-sector mobile user in mind. As such, it incorporated an upgradable
processor, user upgradable memory and hard disc, various modules and mobile
devices to satisfy the needs of various industries. Basic unit features are as
follows:
. The unit weight is approximately 3 pounds
. The battery operating life is from 2 to 8 hours
. The unit is equipped with 233 MHz Pentium MMX processor, which can be
upgraded to 266 MHz Pentium MMX
. The standard unit is equipped with 64 MEG of memory upgradable to 128 MEG of
RAM
. Standard two type II or a single type III PCMCIA slot
. 2.1 GB expandable to 18 GB hard drive
. Built in speaker and microphone (including sound blaster for voice
recognition and multimedia)
. Video conferencing port
. Modular expansion bay with docking connector
. Electro-magnetic pen, voice activation, and an Infra Red keyboard for data
input
. CDROM drive, floppy drive, DVD drive, credit card readers, smart-card
readers, radio modems, wireless receivers, port replicators, USB hubs, audio
source I/O, heads-up goggles, GPS module and other attachable devices
Much more flexible and powerful than a Personal Digital Assistant ("PDA"), the
Orasis(R) is an MS-DOS/Windows 95/98/2000, Windows NT and Linux compatible
machine. Although the basic unit carries a number of advanced features, the most
significant advantage of Orasis(R) is its upgradability. The expansion bay
allows for the use of CDROM, floppy drive, wireless radio, extended battery pack
or any other device through the PCI expansion bus. Unlike competitor models
Orasis(R) does not lock the customer into a single format. Orasis(R) affords a
customer complete flexibility and versatility offered by no other mobile
computer presently on the market. It is a time, labor, and money-saving device
that can be custom-configured with a variety of options to meet the end-user's
needs. The Company has not
recognized significant sales of the product to date due to the lack of adequate
marketing and will adjust its product as the market further develops new technologies.
20
During the later part of 1999 the Company was engaged in negotiations and
eventually on February 17, 2000 signed a contract to develop and produce set-top
boxes. In conjunction with continued development of Orasis(R) andnew technologies within the decision
to terminate its contract manufacturing,industry. Because
of these new technologies, in 2001 the Company began developing a new version of
the Orasis(R). The new Orasis(R) will have most of the same features as the
original design, and
developmentbut will incorporate new technologies. The scheduled release of
such boxes.the next generation Orasis(R) is currently planned for 2002-2003.
A set-top box is an electronic device that converts digital signals into a user
acceptable format via other electronic devices such as television sets,
telephones and computers. The Company is rewriting its
marketing and sales plan to incorporate the European contract for its set-top
box and to include a strategy for domestic operations for both the Orasis(R) and
OraLynx(TM).
The OraLynx(TM) BroadbandOraLynx set-top box processes high-speed video,
provides storage and works with coaxial cable, ADSL and fiber. The OraLynx(TM)
set-top box offers considerable advantages for service providers and end users.
For service providers, the OraLynx(TM) set-top box enables integration of data,
voice, and video over one unified network using one termination device. For end
users, the OraLynx(TM) set-top box serves as a simple yet sophisticated gateway
and access device that can be controlled with a remote control, keyboard or
other mobile handheld device. The OraLynx(TM) set-top box can be networked to
PC's, Internet appliances, and more. The OraLynx(TM) can provide direct access
to interactive TV, video-on-demand and ATM or IP voiceover phone service. Basic
unit features are as follows:
. High quality/high speed user interface (2D graphics)
. Seamless Video-on-Demand Service
. Instant Telephone Access
. IP or ATM voiceover
. Supports up to 4 telephone lines
. Supports standard Internet protocols and various Internet connections
(xDSL, SONET, ATM25, Ethernet)
. Networking and Smart Appliance Interface .o Provides wireless or
conventional networking
The Company performsalso designs, constructs, installs and maintains private interactive
entertainment systems, focusing primarily in the extended stay hospitality
industry, utilizing the Company's set-top boxes. The Company provides all
service and maintenance on the entire system. In addition to basic cable TV, the
Company's system offers high speed internet connectivity, tiered programming,
pay-per-view, games, room messaging, folio view, express check-out and community
channels.
During 2001 and 2000, the Company performed design services, process methodology consultingspecializing in
hardware and software development. In addition, the Company's engineers
consulted with and assisted customers in the development of intellectual
property development for a variety of technology companies.property. The Company's engineers specialize in telecommunications, especially
wireless and cable-based product development, as well as multimedia development,
including digital video decoding and processing. The Companydesign services part of the
business has received a contract for
the production and sale of set-top boxes, but has not yet begun significant
production. It has also amended the contract and extended the delivery dates on
two occasions.
Markets
Every day on TV, radiodecreased significantly, and in the newspapers we hearfirst quarter of 2002, the
Company laid off the majority of its design engineering staff. As existing
contracts with customers expire and read about people's
ability to contactare completed, the farthest reaches of our planet in seconds. We hear about
business meetings that take place over the wires, on a large TV screen instead
of in person. The increased use of the internet as a means of commerce and
communication drives us forward every day to reach for the things that only a
few years ago we read about in science fiction books. We also read about
constant improvements in digital and cellular technology in order to allow
anyone to constantly "stay connected".Company will not pursue
additional orders.
Markets
Based on the latest statistics, the mobile computing devices market is
approximately $110 billion in annual revenue. Sales of laptop and notebook
computers represent a large portion of this market. However, the growth rate of
hand-held pen-based devices exceeds that of laptops and notebooks. Based on the
latest Frost and Sullivan studies, the total pen-tablets market, in which
Orasis(R) competes, is several billion dollars and is growing at approximately
twenty five
25
percent per year. Dauphin's management estimates that market may be
growing even faster than latest predictions.
Unlike several years ago, the pen-based computer market is more defined and is
ready for a product such as Orasis(R). The total mobile market includes more
than sixty products that fall within the Personal Digital Assistant ("PDA")
category of the pen-based market. These devices include electronic organizers,
mobile fax machines and electronic notepads. Most of these devices are palm-top
size, requiring either pen or keyboard input. In addition to PDA's, there are
approximately twenty devices that would qualify as computers or pen tablets.
Orasis(R) belongs in the latter category.
Until the introduction of Orasis(R), pen based devices were no match for the
laptops. The processor speed, limited expandability and memory limitations of
hand-held computers made notebooks and laptops much more popular with the mobile
workforce. Orasis(R) bridges the gap between notebook or laptop computers and
pen-based computers.
21
Added features and flexibility of the unit may also attract public attention,
thereby growing the overall category.
The set-top box market is a relatively new phenomenon. According to the research
firm, Strategy Analytics, the worldwide installed base of set-top boxes was a
mere 2.2 million in 1998 and was 27.4 million boxes in the year 2000, and is
expected to grow by 35% in 2002. Currently with the market in the early
developing stages, the "set-top box" has not been perfected. Existing designs do
not offer the flexibility or future capacity that Dauphin's customers seek.
Our focus on the timeshare market is based upon current statistics indicating
annual timeshare global sales topping $6 billion and timeshare growth between
16% and 18% a year for the past seven years. Timesharing is the fastest-growing
segment of the global travel and tourism industry. According to the January 1999
issue of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.'s Leisure Almanac, "the confluence of rapidly
growing population of income-qualified households and increased utilization
should result in collective revenues of $200 billion between 1995 and 2009." In
1998, the United States accounted for $3.06 billion--approximately half--of the
world's timeshare sales revenue, according to a survey sponsored by the American
Resort Development Association. In 2000, U.S. sales were about $4.1 billion,
according to Ragatz Associates. The United States also leads in the number of
resorts (more than 1,600) and owners (nearly 3 million). According to Ragatz
Associates, in 1998 there were 4.25 million timeshare owners living in more than
200 countries and over 5,000 timeshare resorts in more than 90 countries.
Sales and Marketing
During the yearlater part of 1999, the Company was engaged in negotiations and
eventually on February 17, 2000 the scope of the marketing effort for set top boxes was
somewhat narrow. Assigned a result of the contract with Estel Telecommunications
S.A. ("Estel"), a European telecommunications firm seeking to supplydevelop an
ultra-high speed information technology network, to develop and produce set-top
boxes,boxes. Estel intended to construct, install and operate a fiber optic cable
network system offering telephone, television, Internet and other services in
Greece. On August 30, 2000 and December 28, 2000 the contract was amended to
extend the delivery dates, amend certain specifications of the product and amend
certain terms and conditions pertaining to Estel's performance. During 2000 and
into the first six months of 2001, the Company focused its primary marketing
resources around the Estel contract and did not actively market its products to
other companies. This was because the Company had very limited staffing
resources and the lack of aggressive marketing was not a direct result of the
terms of the contract with Estel. The set-top box agreement with Estel was
terminated on July 1, 2001 due to the lack of performance by Estel and the
inability of Estel to meet the terms and conditions of the agreement.
During the year 2001, the Company focused its marketing efforts in Greece, as it
established a strong relationship with the Hellenic Telecommunications
Organization S.A. (OTE). The Company has a sales and marketing agreement with
OTE, whereby the Company's products are marketed through the OTE Commercial
Network throughout Europe and the Middle East. OTE is a multi-billion dollar
company comprised of well known subsidiaries including CosmOte, OTEnet, OTESAT,
CosmoOne, OTEGlobe, OTEestate, HELLASCOM and other affiliated companies based in
Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania, Armenia, Albania and Jordan. OTE is a public
company and trades on the Athens Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. OTE
is a reseller of our products in Greece and other European countries. OTE will
work directly with our Greek based branch marketing and sales office. The branch
office was opened in August 2001. The office is staffed with approximately
twelve sales and marketing personnel. In addition, the Company has not acted aggressively to market them
to other potential buyers.developed a
relationship marketing arrangement with Orbit Plan S.A., a strategic planning
and business development firm having a presence in more than ten countries, for
assistance in marketing the Company's products into many regions of Europe,
Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, China and the Far East. The
Company did, however, demonstratehas also entered into a marketing arrangement with the OraLynx(TM)

Companies which establishes the Comdex Fall 2000 showframework for joint development of a
communications infrastructure for law enforcement and local public safety
authorities, as well as development of certain related software applications.
The agreement calls for bilateral representation of each respective company's
products. The Dialogue Group of Companies is a Russian/American joint venture
and is among the largest private commercial enterprises in Las Vegas and as a result generatedthe former Soviet

The Company's interactive cable systems are focused on high
technology companies, especially inmarketed primarily to the telecommunications and multimedia
industries. The Company markets these services to customersextended

Competition
Many competitors exist in the market segments where Dauphin competes. In the
hand held computer market, companies such as Epson, Fujitsu, IBM, and Mitsubishi
are market segment leaders. The companies manufacturing set-top boxes
26
are equally as impressive, including Motorola and Scientific Atlanta. However,
Dauphin management believes some advantages exist over the competition including
flexibility, adaptability and unique solutions driven designs. Most of the
Company's competitors are large corporations or conglomerates, which may have
greater resources to withstand downturns in the hand-held computer and set-top
box markets, invest in new technology and capitalize on growth opportunities.
These competitors, like the Company, aggressively seek to improve their yields
by way of increased market share and cost reduction.
The Company's design services experience intense competition from a numberinteractive cable system competes with cable television companies,
pay-per-view outlets such as On Command and others. Primary competitive factors
in our markets include selection, convenience, accessibility, customer service
and reliability.
We believe we can compete favorably in all of companies.our markets. Most of these companiesour
competitors are small "boutique" engineering services
firms, offering the services of their engineerslarger than us and have much greater financial resources. No
assurance can be given that such increased competition will not have an adverse
effect on a time and material basis.
Likeour business.
Customer Dependence
While the Company these competitors are aggressively marketing their expertise
and past successes.
Customer Dependence
The Company is not dependent on any one customercontinues to market to a variety of companies in many
different industries, two customers accounted for approximately 87% of total
revenues for 2001. Motorola, Inc. accounted for approximately 45% of total
revenue for the sale of its Orasis(R)
or OraLynx(TM). However, one individual design service customer accounted foryear 2001 and approximately 53% of total revenues for the year
2000. This customer has itself suffered a reduction in revenue and as a result
has not been issuing new purchase orders for design services. Because of the
loss of future orders, in the first quarter of 2002, the Company laid off the
majority of its engineering staff. Another customer, Hellenic Telecommunications
Organization S.A. (OTE), accounted for approximately 42% of total revenues in
2001, as a result of fourth quarter sales of set-top boxes.
Research and Development
Substantially all of the Company's research and development efforts relate to
the development of handheld computers and set-top boxes. To compete in the
highly competitive hardware markets, the Company must continue to develop
technologically advanced products. The Company's total research and development
expenditures were approximately $1,427,000,$2,434,000, $1,427,000and $510,000 in 2001, 2000
and $1,576,000 in 2000,
1999, and 1998, respectively. The Company has retained all rights and intellectual
property acquired during the development of their handheld products and
peripheral devices, and anticipates protecting all intellectual property
developed as a result of work being done on the Company's set-top boxes.
Production
Because the main components of the Company's products are complex, the assembly
of the motherboards is outsourced to various subcontractors located in the
United States and in Southeast Asia. Additionally, final assembly and the first
level of testing is performed by the subcontractors. The Company's proprietary
software is loaded by the subcontractor. The Company does final testing and
modifications.
Source and Availability of Raw Materials
22
Component parts are obtained from suppliers around the world. Components used in
all designs are state of the art and are Year 2000 compliant. Components such as
the latest mobile Intel processors, color video controllers and CACHE memory
chips are in high demand and are, thus, available in short supply. However, once
production has begun, management does not anticipate delays in the production
schedule.
Software Licensing Agreements
The Company is leasing BIOS (basic input/output software) for Orasis(R) from
Phoenix Technologies Ltd. ("Phoenix"). Phoenix designs, develops, markets and
licenses proprietary software products for original equipment manufacturers and
related software for personal computers. A Master License Agreement was signed
for the right of distribution of Phoenix software. The Company pays $4 per unit
sold for this license.
The Company has entered into a Pen Products Original Equipment Manufacturing
Distribution License Agreement and
27
Sub-license Agreement for Dedicated Systems with Annabooks Software LLC
("Annabooks"), the supplier of products offered by Microsoft Corporation
("Microsoft"). Microsoft is the third-party beneficiary under these agreements.
Under the terms of these agreements, the Company is authorized to install DOS,
Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT, and Windows for Pen, among others, on the computers
it sells. For this right, the Company must pay Annabooks royalties for each unit
sold, although quantity discounts are available. The Company pays approximately
$78 per license for each computer it sells.
Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks
In view of rapid technological and design changes inherent to the computer
industry, the Company does not believe that, in general, patents and/or
copyrights are an effective means of protecting its interests. However, due to
the unique configuration of the Orasis(R), the Company did patent its mechanical
design and processor upgradability concepts. It also expects to patent its
set-top box design following development. The Company also attempts to maintain
its proprietary rights by trade secret protection and by the use of
non-disclosure agreements. It is possible that the Company's products could be
duplicated by competitors and duplication and sale could therefore adversely
affect the Company. However, management believes that the time spent by
competitors engineering the product would be too long for the rapidly changing
computer industry. In 1997 the Company applied for and received a trademark on
the name "Orasis."

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
32
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of $0.001
par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock.
As of October 30, 2001May 28, 2002 there were 63,000,09565,050,646 shares of common stock outstanding and
beneficially owned by approximately 20,50020,000 beneficial shareholders, and no
shares of preferred stock were outstanding. The following summary is qualified
in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation, which is
available upon request.
Common Stock
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Subject
to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock,
holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. In the event
of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, holders of the
common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment
of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding preferred
stock. Holders of common stock have no right to convert their common stock into
any other securities and have no cumulative voting rights. There are no
redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All
outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of
which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors,
without further action by shareholders, and may include voting rights (including
the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to
dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund
provisions. We have no present plans to issue preferred stock. However, the
issuance of any such preferred stock could affect the rights of the holders of
common stock and reduce the value of the common stock. In particular, specific
rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict
our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party, thereby
preserving control of the company by present owners.
Warrants and Options
As of October 30, 2001May 28, 2002 warrants to purchase 8,473,7448,265,411 shares of common
stock were issued and outstanding in the hands of approximately 60 investors.
These warrants are convertible at any time. The strike prices of these warrants
range from $0.20 to $5.481. The warrants expire between three and five years
from the date of issuance. The warrants include a change of form provision in
them so that if a change in the form of the common stock occurs due to stock
splits, stock dividends, or mergers, the holders are entitled to receive a
pro-rata increase of shares at a discounted price. However, the holders of the
warrants do not have any voting rights and are not entitled to receive any cash
or property dividends declared by the Board of Directors until they convert the
warrants into common shares. At the time such warrants are exercised, the common
shareholders' ownership percentage of the Company will be diluted. In December
2000, the Company re-priced approximately 3,012,000 warrants it had previously
issued to outside consultants. The warrants were originally issued with an
exercise price ranging from $10.00 to $5.00, and were re-priced with exercise
prices ranging from $5.00 to $2.00 per share. The re-pricing created a charge to
earnings of approximately $234,000. In March 2002, the Company re-priced an
additional 1,023,000 warrants creating a charge to earnings of approximately
$27,218.
As of October 30, 2001May 28, 2002 there are a total of 4,881,5805,605,562 options issued and
outstanding in the hands of more than thirty employees and former employees.
These options are exercisable at any time into the Company's $0.001 par value
common stock. The per share strike prices of these options range from $0.50 to
$3.875. These options expire three years from the date of issuance. At the time
such options are exercised, the common shareholders ownership percentage of the
Company will be diluted.

and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market
price, or in negotiated private transactions, or in a combination of these
methods. The selling shareholder will act independently of us in making
decisions with respect to the form, timing, manner and size of each sale. We
have been informed by the selling shareholder that there are no existing
arrangements between the selling shareholder and any other person, broker,
dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of shares of
common stock which may be sold by selling shareholder through this prospectus.
The Sellingselling shareholder may be deemed an underwriter in connection with resales
of theirits shares.
The common shares may be sold in one or more of the following manners:
. a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will
attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction;
. purchases by a broker or dealer for its account under this
prospectus;
or
. ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker solicits purchases.purchases, or
. privately negotiated transactions.
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling
shareholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Except as
disclosed in a supplement to this prospectus, no broker-dealer will be paid more
than a customary brokerage commission in connection with any sale of the common
shares. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions, discounts or other
concessions from the selling shareholder in amounts to be negotiated immediately
prior to the sale. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer may be in
excess of customary commissions. Profits on any resale of the common shares as a
principal by such broker-dealers and any commissions received by such
broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under
the Securities Act of 1933. Any broker-dealer participating in such transactions
as agent may receive commissions from the selling shareholder (and, if they act
as agent for the purchaser of such common shares, from such purchaser).
Broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholder to sell a
specified number of common shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the
extent a broker dealer is unable to do so acting as agent, to purchase as
principal any unsold common shares at a price required to fulfill the
broker-dealer commitment to the selling shareholder. Broker-dealers who acquire
common shares as principal may thereafter resell such common shares from time to
time in transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions and which
may involve sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of
the nature described above) in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at
negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or receive
from the purchasers of such common shares commissions computed as described
29
above. Brokers or dealers who acquire common shares as principal and any other
participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be underwriters in connection
with resales of the common shares.
In addition, any common shares covered by this prospectus which qualify
for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to
this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these
common shares, although we have paid the expenses of preparing this prospectus
and the related registration statement of which it is a part.
34
The selling shareholder will pay all commissions and its own expenses,
if any, associated with the sale of their common shares, other than the expenses
associated with preparing this prospectus and the registration statement of
which it is a part.

We completedOn September 28, 2001, we entered into a $10 million securities
purchase agreement for $10 million with Crescent International Ltd., ("Crescent") an
investment companyinstitutional investor managed by GreenlightGreenLight (Switzerland) SA. The initial
funding was a $2.5 million Convertible Note and warrants exercisable to purchase
700,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.3064 per share for a five-year
term. The Convertible Note is convertible into common stock at the lower of
(i)$1.1561, which represents 110% of the average of the Bid Prices during the
ten Trading Days prior to September 28, 2001 and (ii)the average of the lowest
three consecutive Bid prices during the 22-day period immediately preceding the
conversion date. If converted as of October 30, 2001,June 11, 2002, such shares would convert
into 2,631,5795,905,977 of common stock assuming a conversion price of $.95$0.4233 per share.
The Company and Crescent International Ltd. had signed a Stock Purchase Agreement on May
28, 1999. Under that agreement, the Company sold to Crescent 1,398,951 shares of
common stock for $598,050 and issued warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of
common stock at a price of $.6435 per share. Crescent exercised theirits warrants
during 2000. By July 31, 2001, Crescent had sold all of its shares of the
Company in the over-the- counter market or through negotiated transactions.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment
power with respect to securities. Except as indicated, we believe each person
possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of
common stock owned by such person, subject to community property laws where
applicable. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and
the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to
options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or
exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not
deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any
other person.
Except as previously discussed, the selling shareholder has not held
any positions or offices or had material relationships with us or any of our
affiliates within the past three years. We may amend or supplement this
prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure.

and as of September 30, 2001March 31, 2002 has an accumulated deficit of $51,893,488.$61,526,143. The Company
expects to incur operating losses over the near term. The Company's ability to
achieve profitability will depend on many factors including the Company's
ability to design and develop and market commercially acceptable products
including its set-top box. Financial success will also depend on
amending contract terms to result in net revenue in excess of costs of
manufacture and selling, general and administrative costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever
achieve a profitable level of operations or if profitability is achieved, that
it can be sustained.

Notes. In addition, the Company is required to issue warrants exercisable to
purchase 700,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.3064 per share for a
five-year term. The Stock Purchase Agreement further permits Crescent to
purchase up to $7.5 million in common stock of the Company over a 24-month
period provided the Company achieves certain results prior to February 1, 2002.
If the Company fails to achieve these certain results by February 1, 2002, then
the amounts Crescent could purchase are affected by certain financial criteria.
Additionally, the Company has agreed not to exercise any drawdowns against its
existing common stock purchase agreement with Techrich International Ltd.
The Company may elect to issue subsequent convertible notes up to $1.5 million,
subject to achieving certain results prior to February 1, 2001, such as the
total sales to its current customer, OTE, equaling or exceeding $2.5 million and
valid and documented orders from OTE that equal or exceed 75% of the subsequent
convertible note. If after February 1, 2002, the Company can sell to Crescent
shares of up to $1.5 million per sale, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company
and Crescent; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all shares sold
and convertible notes issued cannot exceed $10 million. The amount of the sale
is limited to twice the average of the bid price multiplied by the trading
volume during the 22 trading day period immediately preceding the date of sale.
When the total amount of securities issued to Crescent equals or exceeds $5
million, then the Company shall issue to Crescent a subsequent incentive warrant
exercisable to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at a price equal to the
bid price on the date of sale.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Dauphin Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DAUPHIN
TECHNOLOGY, INC. (an Illinois corporation) and Subsidiaries, as of December 31,
2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2001.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dauphin
Technology, Inc. and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the three
years ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company
incurred a net loss of $13,252,360 during the year ended December 31, 2001, and,
as of that date, the Company's accumulated deficit is $59,594,075. In addition,
the Company has consistently used, rather than provided, cash in its operations.
These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements,
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As disclosed in Note 20, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2000 have been restated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Description of Business
Dauphin Technology, Inc. ("Dauphin" or the "Company") and its Subsidiaries
design and market mobile hand-held, pen-based computers, broadband set-top
boxes; provide private, interactive cable systems to the extended stay
hospitality industry; and perform design services, specializing in hardware and
software development, out of three locations in northern Illinois, one in
central Florida and its branch office in Piraeus, Greece. Through one of its
subsidiaries, the Company marketed its contract manufacturing services through
July 1,1999. The Company, an Illinois corporation, was formed on June 6, 1988 and
became a public entity in 1991.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dauphin and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, R.M. Schultz & Associates, Inc. ("RMS"), Advanced
Digital Designs, Inc. ("ADD") and Suncoast Automation, Inc. ("Suncoast"). All
significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
2. REALIZATION OF ASSETS:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. However, the company
has sustained substantial losses from operations in recent years, and such
losses have continued through the unaudited quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Revenues from the Company's design services have declined. In addition, the
company has used, rather than provided, cash in its operations.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a
major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance
sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the company, which in turn is
dependent upon the company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a
continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and to succeed in its future
operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be
unable to continue in existence.
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial
requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the
ability to continue in existence: The Company has concentrated its efforts on
marketing its set-top boxes, halted all further development of the next
generation Orasis and are exploring alternative mobile hand-held computer
products through original equipment manufacturers. In January 2002 the
management of the Company began terminating employees who were not a critical
part of the marketing efforts. The facilities in McHenry, which housed the RMS
operations, has been closed, the majority of the personnel have been terminated
and the remaining inventory and equipment will be auctioned in the second
quarter of 2002.

3. RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES:
Absence of Operating Profit
The Company has incurred a net operating loss in each year since it's founding
and as of December 31, 2001 has an accumulated deficit of $59,594,075. The
Company expects to incur operating losses over the near term. The Company's
ability to achieve profitability will depend on many factors including the
Company's ability to market commercially acceptable products including its
set-top box. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever achieve a
profitable level of operations or if profitability is achieved, that it can be
sustained.
Early Stage of Development of the Company's Products
From June of 1997 through June of 1999, the Company was principally engaged in
research and development activities involving the hand-held computer. Since
then, the Company has been working on new technologies, in particular the design
and development of the set-top boxes. In 2001, the Company acquired substantially allalso began developing
a new version of its hand-held computer. The Company's products have been sold
in limited quantities and there can be no assurance that a significant market
will develop for such products in the assets of
Suncoast Automation, Inc. The purchase price was 766,058 shares offuture. Therefore, the Company's common stock valued at $1,126,105 basedinability
to develop and market its products on a timely basis may have a material adverse
effect on the closing bid priceCompany's financial results.
4. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments that mature
three months or less from when they are purchased. The carrying amount
approximates the fair value due to short maturity of $1.47 per
share on June 29, 2001. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. The purchase price, plus direct costs of the acquisition,
was allocated to accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, installation
contracts and accounts payable.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
-----------------
On October 2, 2001, in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Company issued a Convertible Note to Crescent in the amount of $2,500,000, due
September 28, 2004 and warrants exercisable to purchase 700,000 shares of common
stock at a price of $1.3064 per share. The Note is convertible to common stock
of the Company at any timethese investments.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of $1.1561cost (determined on a first-in, first-out
basis) or market and primarily consist of purchased parts and assemblies.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is being computed using
the averagestraight-line methods over the estimated useful lives (principally three to
seven years for machinery and equipment and twenty-five years for building) and
leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lowest
three consecutive bid priceslease term or their useful life.
Goodwill and long-lived assets
Goodwill arising from business acquisitions is amortized on a straight-line
basis ranging from five years to ten years. Goodwill associated with the
acquisition of ADD was being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
Goodwill associated with the acquisition of RMS was being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 10 years. Installation contracts acquired in the
acquisition of Suncoast are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the contract, typically seven years. Long-lived assets, including
goodwill and other intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected
to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of
the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset's
carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is

Goodwill and long-lived assets-Continued
determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company recorded
$1,100,000 and $412,500 of amortization expense during 2001 and 2000,
respectively. At the end of the year, the Company recorded an impairment loss of
$3,987,500 on goodwill and an impairment loss of $290,000 on its investment in
non-marketable securities (See Notes 6 and 13).
Income Taxes
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements and
tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and
liabilities (excluding non-deductible goodwill) and using enacted tax rates in
effect for the years in which the differences are expected to become recoverable
or payable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of mobile computers, computer
accessories, set-top boxes and assembled products. Revenue from design services,
consulting and intellectual property development is recognized in the month the
services are performed.
(Loss) Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss for the year by
the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the 22 days precedingperiod, which were
63,147,476, 58,711,286 and 46,200,408 for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively. Diluted loss per common share is adjusted for the
assumed exercise of stock options and warrants unless such adjustment would have
an anti-dilutive effect
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject Dauphin to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Generally, credit risk
with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities
comprising Dauphin's customer base. However, one individual customer accounted
for approximately 50% and 53% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively and the same customer accounted for approximately 45% and
53% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Another customer accounted for approximately 42% of total revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Use of Estimates
The presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates
and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of conversion. The Company may redeem the Convertible Note upon 30 days notice at a
priceconsolidated
financial statements, and the reported amounts of 110%revenue and expenses during
the first year, 120% during the second year and 130%
thereafter. The Company is not required to pay interest on the Note unless the
Company fails for a period of 10 trading days to issue shares upon conversion or
pay the remaining principal of the Note upon maturity or redemption, in which
event interest shall become due at a fixed rate of 8% per annum, payable in
quarterly installments, on the outstanding principal balance immediately prior
to the date of conversion.

Major provisions of these Statements and their effective dates for the Company
are as follows:

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - Continued
--------------------------------------------
1. All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use
the purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method
of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated
before July 1, 2001.
2. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be
recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual
or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity
and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged,
either individually or as part of a related contract, asset, or
liability.
3. Goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives,
acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective
January 1, 2002, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to
amortization.
4. Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually and
whenever there is an impairment indicator.
5. All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for
purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting.
Goodwill is currently being amortized at approximately $1.1million
annually and is projected to have a net carrying value of approximately $2.887
million at the date of adoption of this standard. The Company is currently
evaluatinghas written-off the remaining goodwill as of the end of the year in
accordance with SFAS 121, therefore the provisions of SFAS No.141 and SFAS 142 will
not effect the Company.
During 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets, to address significant implementation issues related to
SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and hasfor Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of, and to develop a single accounting model to account
for long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS 144 carries over the recognition
and measurement provisions of SFAS 121. Accordingly, an entity should recognize
an impairment loss if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group
(a) is not yet determined the effectrecoverable and (b) exceeds its fair value. Similar to SFAS 121, SFAS
144 requires an entity to test an asset or asset group for impairment whenever
events or circumstances indicate that adoption of this standard will haveits carrying amount may not be
recoverable. SFAS 144 provide guidance on its financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Description of Business
Dauphin Technology, Inc. ("Dauphin" or the "Company") and its Subsidiaries
design, manufacture and market mobile hand-held, pen-based computers, broadband
set-top boxes, as well as other electronic devices for home and business use and
performs design services, process methodology consulting and intellectual
property development. Through one of its subsidiaries, the Company marketed its
contract manufacturing services through July 1999. The Company, an Illinois
corporation, was formed on June 6, 1988 and became a public entity in 1991.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dauphin and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, R.M. Schultz & Associates, Inc. ("RMS") and Advanced
Digital Designs, Inc. ("ADD"). All significant inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES:
Absence of Operating Profit
The Company has incurred a net operating loss in each year since it's founding
and as of December 31, 2000 has an accumulated deficit of $47,644,098. The
Company expects to incur operating losses over the near term. The Company's
ability to achieve profitability will depend on many factors including the
Company's ability to manufacture and market commercially acceptable products
including its set-top box. Financial success will also depend on amending
contract terms to result in net revenue in excess of costs of manufacture and
selling, general and administrative costs. There can be no assurance that the
Company will ever achieve a profitable level of operations or if profitability
is achieved, that it can be sustained.
Early Stage of Development of the Company's Products
From June of 1997 through June of 1999, the Company was principally engaged in
research and development activities involving the hand-held computer. Since
then, the Company has been working on new technologies, in particular the design
and development of the set-top boxes. The Company's products have been sold in
limited quantities and there can be no assurance that a significant market will
develop for such products in the future. Therefore, the Company's inability to
develop, manufacture and market its products on a timely basis may have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial results.
3. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments that mature
three months or less from when they are purchased. The carrying amount
approximates the fair value due to short maturity of these investments.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of its carrying
amount of fair value less cost (determined onto sell. Expected future losses associated with
the operations of a first-in, first-out
basis)long-lived asset or marketasset group classified as held for sale
are excluded from that measurement.
SFAS 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001 and include material, labor and factory overhead.interim periods within those fiscal years. However,
the provisions of SFAS 144 related to assets to be disposed of are effective for
disposal activities initiated by an entity's commitment to a plan after the
effective date or after the Statement are initially applied.

3. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is being computed using
the straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives (principally three to
seven years for machinery and equipment) and leasehold improvements over the
lesser of the lease term or their useful life.
Intangible Assets
Goodwill is amortized over five years. Long-lived assets including goodwill and
other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or change in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets,
the related assets' carrying value is compared to the undiscounted estimated
future cash flows from the related operations. The Company recorded $412,500 of
amortization expense during 2000.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements and
tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and
liabilities (excluding non-deductible goodwill) and using enacted tax rates in
effect for the years in which the differences are expected to become recoverable
or payable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of mobile computers, computer
accessories and assembled products. Revenue from design services, consulting and
intellectual property development is recognized in the month the services are
performed. Revenue from the fulfillment of manufacturing contracts, generally
less then year in length, is recognized upon shipment of the finished assembly.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is calculated on income available to common
stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during
the period, which were 58,711,286, 46,200,408 and 37,287,432 for the years
ending December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Diluted loss per common
share is adjusted for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants unless
such adjustment would have an anti-dilutive effect
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject Dauphin to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Generally, credit risk
with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities
comprising Dauphin's customer base. However, one individual customer accounts
for approximately 53% of total accounts receivable and approximately 53% of
total revenues.

Use of Estimates
The presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates
and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
4.5. INVENTORY
Inventory is comprised of material, labor and overhead and consists of the

========== ==========
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company determined that its current
inventory could not be used in the production of a new version of the Orasis(R),
when it is completed, and therefore adjusted its remaining raw materials and
work in process inventory to an estimated liquidation value. The Company plans
on liquidating this inventory in the second quarter of 2002. The amount of the
write down was $490,000. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company wrote
down approximately $1,440,000 of inventory, consisting primarily of raw
materials, and disposed of certain excess and obsolete inventory which will not
be used in the production of the Orasis(R) or the set top box. In addition, the
Company also set up a reserve for obsolescence of approximately $510,000 to
adjust for the net realizable value of the remaining inventory associated with
the Orasis(R). InUpon liquidation and disposal of the third quarter of 1999, as a result of curtailing operations at RMSinventory, the Company wrote down approximately $1,793,000 of inventory, which consists of
$1,168,000 of raw materials and $625,000 of work-in-process. This inventory was
acquired to produce assembliesreserve for
RMS clients only.

6.7. INVESTMENT
During the third quarter of 1998, the Company invested in non marketablenon-marketable
securities of a company that was managed by a former director of Dauphin. The

income of approximately $26,000 in 2000. 7. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:
During 1999,Dividends were discontinued in 2001.
The Company has determined that due to the discontinuance of dividends and the
poor financial condition of the company, the carrying value has been impaired.

9. CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND WARRANTS
On September 28, 2001 the Company entered into a $10 million Securities Purchase
Agreement with Crescent International Ltd., an institutional investor. Under the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Convertible Note for $2.5
million on October 2, 2001. Although the Company had the option to issue further
convertible notes to Crescent subject to certain conditions precedent, such
option expired on February 1, 2002 and no additional notes were issued. In
addition, the Company issued warrants exercisable to purchase 700,000 shares of
common stock at a price of $1.3064 per share for a five-year term. The
Securities Purchase Agreement further permits the Company to sell to Crescent up
to $7.5 million in common stock of the Company over a 24-month period.
Additionally, the Company agreed not to exercise any drawdowns against its
existing common stock purchase agreement with Techrich International Ltd., which
expired on January 28, 2002.
The Securities Purchase Agreement permits the Company to sell to Crescent and
requires Crescent to purchase from the Company, at the Company's sole
discretion, common stock of the Company for up to $7.5 million over a 24-month
period. Individual sales are limited to $1.5 million, or a higher amount if
agreed to by the Company and Crescent, and each sale is subject to our
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (none of which are within the
control of Crescent): (1) the Company's representations and warranties must be
true and complete, (2) the Company must have one or more then currently
effective registration statements covering the resale by Crescent of all shares
issued in prior sales to Crescent and issuable upon the conversion of the
Convertible Note, (3) there must be no dispute as to the adequacy of disclosures
made in any such registration statement, (4) such registration statements must
not be subject to any stop order, suspension or withdrawal, (5) the Company must
have performed its covenants and obligations under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, (6) no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or
injunction may have been enacted, entered, promulgated or adopted by any court
of governmental authority that would prohibit the Company's performance under
the Securities Purchase Agreement, (7) the company's common stock must not have
been delisted from its principal trading market and there must be no trading
suspension of its common stock in effect, and (8) the issuance of the designated
number of shares of common stock with respect to the applicable sale must not
violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Company's principal trading
market. The aggregate amount of all sale shares and convertible notes issued
cannot exceed $10 million. The amount of the sale is limited to twice the
average of the bid price multiplied by the trading volume during the 22 trading
day period immediately preceding the date of sale. When the total amount of
securities issued to Crescent equals or exceeds $5 million, then the Company
shall issue to Crescent a subsequent incentive warrant exercisable to purchase
400,000 shares of common stock at a price equal to the bid price on the date the
incentive warrant is issued.
The Convertible Note was funded on October 2, 2001 and is due September 28,
2004. The Company shall not be required to pay interest on the Convertible Note
unless the Company fails to deliver shares upon conversion. In such event, the
Note will bear an interest rate of 8.0% per annum, payable in quarterly
installments. The Company has recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the
Convertible Note and Warrants based on the fair value of the common stock of
$0.99 per share as of the date of commitment. The Warrants with an exercise
price of $1.3064 per share, are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation method,
and are recorded at $684,600. The beneficial conversion feature is calculated to
be $914,279 and has been recorded as Additional Paid in Capital and a discount

additional beneficial conversion based on the market price of the stock at the
conversion date.

11.In December 2000, the Company re-priced approximately 3,012,000 warrants it had
previously issued to outside consultants. The warrants were originally issued
with an exercise price ranging from $10.00 to $5.00, and were re-priced with
exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $2.00 per share. The re-pricing created a
charge to earnings of approximately $234,000, which was calculated using the
Black-Scholes pricing model assuming 0% dividend yield, risk free interest rate
of 6%, volatility factor of 224% and an expected life of 2.6 years.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company maintains a salary deferral 401(k) plan covering substantially all
employees who meet specified service requirements. Contributions are based upon
participants' salary deferrals and compensation and are made within Internal
Revenue Service limitations. For the years 2001, 2000 1999 and 1998,1999, the Company did
not make any matching contributions. The Company does not offer post-employment
or post-retirement benefits. The Company does not administer this plan, and
contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of the plan.

12.13. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
Goodwill associated with the acquisition of RMS was being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 10 years.
On an ongoing basis, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows,
before interest, of the operating unit to which the goodwill relates in order to
evaluate its impairment. If there is an indication of impairment exists, the
carrying amount of the goodwill is reduced to its fair value by the estimated
shortfall of cash flows. During the fourth quarter of 2001 the Company
determined that the set-top box design was completed and the design services
business with outside customers was declining, therefore an impairment of the
goodwill associated with the acquisition of ADD occurred. The Company revised
its projections and determined that the projected results would not fully
support the goodwill balance. In accordance with the Company policy, management
assessed the recoverability of goodwill using a cash flow projection based on
the remaining amortization period of three and three quarter years. Based on
this projection, the cumulative cash flow over the remaining period was
insufficient to fully recover the goodwill. The Company estimated there was no
value and the remaining goodwill of decided to write off the remaining
$3,987,500 was written off of goodwill.
In addition, the Company determined that the carrying value of its investment in
non-marketable securities had been impaired since the investment had
discontinued paying dividends in 2001 and due to the overall poor financial
condition of the company. Therefore, the Company wrote off its investment in the
amount of $290,000.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company decided to terminate its
operations at the facilities in McHenry, Illinois and liquidate the remaining
assets. The property and equipment at this facility were written down to an
estimated liquidation value. The result was a total write down of obsolete
assets of $221,000. In addition, during the fourth quarter the Company concluded
that the plastic molds for the Orasis(R) were deemed unusable in the development
and production of a new version of the Orasis(R) and the remaining undepreciated
value of approximately $305,000 was written off.

engineering company performing design services, process methodology consulting
and intellectual property development. Suncoast provides private, interactive
cable systems to the hospitality industry. RMS was an electronic contract
manufacturing firm. The operations of RMS were terminated in 1999 because the

different customer requirements, either as a result of the regional environment
of the country or differences in products and services offered. The accounting
policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies. Intangible assets are included in each
segment's reportable assets and the amortization of these intangible assets is
included in the determination of a segment's operating profit or loss. The
Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before
income taxes, interest, and non-operating income (expenses).

Item 15.14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
- ---------------------------------------------------
Registrant is incorporated in the State of Illinois. Section 8.75 of the
Illinois Business Corporation Act defines the powers of registrant to indemnify
officers, directors, employees and agents.
In additional to the provisions of Illinois Business Corporation Act Section
8.75, and pursuant to the power granted therein, registrant has adapted Article
XII of its Bylaws which provides as follows:
ARTICLE XII
- -----------
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
SECTION 1 The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or
- ---------
is threaten to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a directors, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan maintained by the
corporation, or who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation of a fiduciary as aforesaid, or who is or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent of fiduciary of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation (or, in the case of a fiduciary, the best interests of the plan and
plan participants) and, with respect to any criminal action proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. This termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contender or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that this conduct was unlawful.
SECTION 2 The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or
- ---------
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation or fiduciary as aforesaid, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to
the best interests of the II-1
corporation (or, in the case of a fiduciary, the best
interests of the plan and plan participants), except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that
the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view
II-1
of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnify for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
SECTION 3 To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
- ---------
corporation or fiduciary as aforesaid has been successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
proceeding sections, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
SECTION 4 Any indemnification under section 1 and 2 hereof (unless ordered by a
- ---------
court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case,
upon a determination of the director, officer, employee, agent of fiduciary is
proper on the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in said sections. Such determination shall be made (1) by the
board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is
not obtained, or even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterest directors so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the
shareholders.
SECTION 5 Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
- ---------
proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized by the board of directors in the
specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or oh behalf of the director,
officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be
determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this Article.
SECTION 6 The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed
- ---------
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, and shall
incur to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
SECTION 7 The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
- ---------
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
of fiduciary, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of
his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.
SECTION 8 In the case of a merger, the term "corporation" shall include, in
- ---------
additional to the surviving corporation, any merging corporation absorbed in a
merger, which if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power
and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so
that any person who was a director, officer, employee or agent of such merging
corporation, or was serving at the request of another corporation, as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the
provisions of this section with respect to the surviving corporation as such
person would have with respect to such merging if its separate existence had
continued.
SECTION 9 For the purpose of this Article, referenced to "other enterprises"
- ---------
shall include employee benefit plans; reference to "fines" shall include any
excise tax assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to the phrase "serving at the request of the corporation" shall
include any service as a director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to
an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries. A person who acted
in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation" as referred to in this Article.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, registrant has been advised that in
the II-2
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, enforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by registrant of expenses incurred in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
II-2
the questions whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such an
issue.
Except to the extent herein above set forth, there is no charter provision,
bylaw, contract, arrangement or statute pursuant to which any director or
officer of registrant is indemnified in any manner against any liability which
he may incur in his capacity as such.

effective July 28, 2000. The proceeds were used to settle the majority of trade
payables, for day-to-day operations and to start the development of the set-top
box. The purchases and sales were exempt pursuant to Rule 506 and Regulation D
as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, where the
purchasers represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment
only, not with a view to distribution, and received or had access to adequate
information about the registrant, consisting of periodic reports filed pursuant
to Section 13(a) and 15 (d) of the Exchange Act. The securities were issued
without use of advertising or general solicitation following the Company's
delivery of a copy of the most recent Form 10-K, proxy statement and interim
Forms 10-Q to the investor and the investor's delivery of a subscription
agreement stating the investor's qualification as an accredited investor,
including the investor's statement of intent to acquire the securities for its
own investment purposes and not with a view toward further distribution.
14. In January 2000, the Company issued 480,000 shares to Bulfon S.A. in
exchange for cancellation of $300,000 of customer deposits. The purchase and
sale were exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) as a transaction by an issuer not
involving a public offering.
15. In January 2000, the Company issued warrants to Nick Fegen, a
consultant (see #10 above), for financial advisory services rendered, to
purchase 350,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00. The purchase and sale
were exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) as a transaction by an issuer not involving
a public offering. The securities were issued without use of advertising or
general solicitation following the Company's delivery of a copy of the most
recent Form 10-K, proxy statement and interim Forms 10-Q to the investor and the
investor's delivery of a subscription agreement stating the investor's
qualification as an accredited investor, including the investor's statement of
intent to acquire the securities for its own investment purposes and not with a
view toward further distribution.
16. In January 2000, the Company issued 500,000 shares to Provonat
Technologies Limited for services rendered in relation to the set-top box
agreement with Estel Telecommunications S.A. The purchase and sale were exempt
pursuant to Section 4(2) as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public
offering.
17. In April 2000, the Company completed its private placement and issued
3,630,000 warrants to an investment banker, Cutter and Co., in lieu of
consulting fees. The purchase and sale were exempt pursuant to Rule 506 and
Regulation D as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, where
the purchaser represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment
only, not with a view to distribution, and received or had access to adequate
information about the registrant.
18. On April 26, 2000, the Company completed a common stock purchase
agreement, escrow agreement and registration rights agreement with Techrich
International Limited ("Techrich"), an accredited institutional investor. These
agreements provide a $100,000,000 equity line of credit as the Company requests
over an 18 month period, in return for common stock and warrants to be issued to
the investor. Once every 22 days, the Company may request a draw of up to
$10,000,000 of that money, subject to a maximum of 18 draws. The maximum amount
the Company actually can draw down upon each request will be determined by the
volume-weighted average daily price of the Company's common stock for the 22
trading days prior to its request and the average trading volume for the 45
trading days prior to the request. Each draw down must be for at least $250,000.
Use of a 22 day trading average was negotiated to reduce the impact of market
price fluctuations over any calendar month, which generally includes 22 trading
days. At the end of a 22-day trading period following the drawdown request, the
amount of shares is determined based on the volume-weighted average stock price
during that 22-day period in accordance with the formulas in the common stock
purchase agreement. We undertook this transaction to raise funds for general
working capital purposes.
19. On April 28, 2000, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a Form S-1 registration statement relating to 15,332,560 shares of
common stock issued to stockholders in private transactions, 11,958,963 shares
underlying options and warrants previously issued to employees, and 6,000,000
shares to be issued when the Company requests a drawdown under the Techrich
common stock purchase agreement.
20. On July 28, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the
registration statement effective. Pursuant to the common stock purchase
agreement with Techrich, the Company issued to Ladenburg, Thalman, an
institutional investor, as a placement fee warrants to purchase 250,000 shares
of common stock at an exercise price of $5.481.
21. On July 31, 2000, the Company issued a drawdown notice in connection
with the common stock purchase
II-5
agreement with Techrich for $5,000,000. We undertook this transaction to raise
funds for general working capital purposes. Upon receipt of the funds, the
Company issued 1,354,617 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 101,463
shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $4.06 to $4.22.
22. In September 2000, the Company issued 73,750 stock options to certain
employees under employment agreements. At the time of issuance, the option price
was below the market price and the Company recorded $70,622 as additional
compensation expense. The purchase and sale were exempt pursuant to Section 4(2)
as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
23. On October 17, 2000, the Company issued a drawdown notice in connection
with the common stock purchase agreement with Techrich for $2,000,000. We
undertook this transaction to raise funds for general working capital purposes.
Upon receipt of the funds, the Company issued 781,999 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase 44,646 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging
from $3.26676 to $4.4369.
24. On October 20, 2000 the Company entered into an agreement with Best
S.A. to act as its distributor/agent in Greece. On October 26, 2000 the Company
issued 1,550,000 shares of restricted stock to Best S.A. as a performance bond
to assure the Company's compliance with the Set-Top Box Agreement by and between
the Company and Estel S.A. These shares have not been included in the issued and
outstanding shares as of December 31, 2000, as Best S.A. has acknowledged that
they would return the shares to the Company upon satisfactory compliance with
the Set-Top Box Agreement. The agreement with Best S.A. requires the Company to
register these shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2000.
To secure performance of the Company's obligation to register these shares,
Andrew J. Kandalepas, Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company, granted to
Best S.A. a security interest in 1,032,118 shares of Company stock owned by him.
25. In December 2000, the Company issued to Brian Smith, Mark Thompson and
Stavros Galanakis, 22,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase
148,265 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.0312 to $1.25,
as payment for certain advertising and promotional expenses and consulting
services related to the establishment of an office in Europe. The purchase and
sale were exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) as a transactions by an issuer not
involving a public offering.
26. In December 2000, the Company re-priced approximately 3,012,000
warrants it had previously issued to outside consultants, Cutter and Company, in
consideration of additional services rendered to the Company pertaining to
financing. The warrants were originally issued with an exercise price ranging
from $10.00 to $5.00, and were re-priced with exercise prices ranging from $5.00
to $2.00 per share. The re-pricing created a charge to earnings of approximately
$234,000, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model assuming 0%
dividend yield, risk free interest rate of 6%, volatility factor of 224% and an
expected life of 2.6 years.
27. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company received proceeds in the
amount of $102,300 for the exercise of 210,000 warrants issued to Joe Lemberger
and Ryan Miller. Additionally, employees exercised 4,000 stock options at a
price of $.50 per share. The proceeds were used for general working capital
purposes.
28. During the second quarter of 2001, employees exercised 4,000 stock
options at a price of $.50 per share.
29. On April 3, 2001, the Company and Estel Telecommunications S.A.
cancelled the performance bond issued on October 26, 2000 and the 1,550,000
shares of restricted stock held by Best S.A. were returned to the Company. In
connection with the cancellation of the shares, Best S.A. executed the personal
guarantee of Mr. Andrew J. Kandalepas, which he had granted to secure the
performance of the Company's obligation to register the 1,550,000 shares issued
in connection with the performance bond and retained the 1,032,118 shares. The
set-top box agreement with Estel Telecommunications S.A. terminated on July 1,
2001 due to lack of performance on behalf of Estel. This transaction was entered
into on behalf of the Company and therefore the Company recorded an expense of
$1,241,741, with an offsetting entry to additional paid in capital.
30. In April 2001, the Company issued to The DeClan Group, consultants,
30,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 70,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.36 per share, as payment for certain
promotional and consulting services. In September 2001, the Company issued
additional warrants to purchase 16,666 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.395 per share to finalize the arrangement with the consultants. The
purchase and sale were exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) as transactions by an
issuer not involving a public offering.
31. Effective July 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets of Suncoast
II-6
Automation, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ProtoSource Corporation, pursuant
to an Asset Purchase Agreement. The purchase price was 766,058 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at approximately $1.1 million based on the closing
bid price of $1.47 per share on June 29, 2001. The purchase and sale were exempt
pursuant to Section 4(2) as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public
offering.
32. During the third quarter of 2001, the Company received proceeds in the
amount of $75,000 for the exercise of 75,000 warrants by TDG Limited. Proceeds
were used for general working capital purposes.
33. On August 14, 2001 the Company issued a drawdown notice in connection
with the common stock purchase agreement with Techrich for $300,000. We
undertook this transaction to raise funds for general working capital purposes.
Upon receipt of the funds, the Company issued 258,968 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase 22,006 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$1.14516.
34. On September 13, 2001 the Company filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a Form S-3 registration statement relating to 6,964,724
shares of common stock. The shares were issued by the Company in respect of the
following: (i) 766,058 shares were issued by the Company in connection with the
acquisition of the net assets of Suncoast; (ii) 52,000 shares were issued by the
Company as payment for certain advertising and promotional expenses and
consulting services; and (iii) 6,146,666 shares issuable by the Company to
shareholders upon the exercise by them of issued and outstanding warrants and
options. On September 27, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared
the registration statement effective.
35. During the fourth quarter of 2001, employees exercised 27,600 stock
options at a price of $.89 per share.
36. In November 2001, the Company issued to Ensign Resources and Brian
Smith warrants to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices
ranging from $1.00 to $1.50, as payment for certain advertising and promotional
expenses. The purchase and sale were exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) as a
transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
37. On December 20, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of
1,032,118 shares to the Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company to replace
the shares that Best S.A. retained under the personal guarantee. The shares were
valued at $1,241,741 based on the closing price of $1.20 on April 3, 2001. The
purchase and sale were exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) as a transaction by an
issuer not involving a public offering.
Except as set forth above, no underwriters were employed in any of the above
transactions. Appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates and
warrants issued in the above transactions.

Item 17. UNDERTAKINGS
- ----------------------
(A) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the ---------------------------------------------------------------
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned Company hereby
------------------------------------------------ undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in the section.
(B) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a) of
the Securities Act of 1993;
(ii) To disclose in the Prospectus any change in the offering
price at which any registering shareholders subject to the
requirement of a Pricing Amendment are offering their
registered securities for sale;
(iii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;
(iv) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(C) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the forgoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjustment of
such issue.
