REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors
U.S. Convergion, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of U.S. Convergion, Inc. (the “Company”) as of April 2, 2003 and the related statement of operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2003 through April 2, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 misstatements. 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 our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 2, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 2003 through April 2, 2003, 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 L, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,019,104 as of April 2, 2003, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 2, 2003
NOTE A — SUMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Business and Basis of Presentation
On November 30, 2001, U.S. Convergion, LLC was formed. On March 29, 2002, the Company was converted from a limited liability company to an incorporated entity. At that time the name of the Company was formally changed to U.S. Convergion, Inc. (“the Company”). The Company provides technology-based interaction integration solutions to primarily middle-market organizations throughout the United States. The Company is primarily a reseller of telecommunications equipment and provides telecommunications implementation services for telephony interface applications, unified messaging applications, and wireless applications.
On April 3, 2003, Market Central, Inc. (“Market Central”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding preferred and common shares of the Company, through an Agreement and Plan of Exchange (“Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Market Central issued an aggregate of 374,630 shares of restricted common stock to the existing shareholders of the Company in exchange for all assets and liabilities of the Company, and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Market Central.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues from contracts in which the Company provides only consulting services as the services are performed. The contractual terms of the agreements dictate the recognition of revenue by the Company. Payments received in advance are deferred until the service is provided.
Revenues from equipment and implementation contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to the estimated total cost for each contract. This method is used because management considers total job cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
Contract costs include all direct equipment, material, and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in contract performance, contract conditions, and estimated profitability that may result in revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Costs in Excess of Billings represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. Deferred Revenue represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. As of April 2, 2003, the Company recognized costs in excess of billings and deferred revenue of $48,705 and $154,517, respectively.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. The Company incurred $15,792 of advertising costs during the period from January 1, 2003 through April 2, 2003.

NOTE A — SUMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs. Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred no research and product development costs for the period from January 1, 2003 through April 2, 2003.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided based on the liability method for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of Statements of Financial Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under this method deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be removed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 15 years using the straight-line method.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should an impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist of Internet applications, routers and related products available for sale to distributors and retailers. The Company has no inventories at April 2, 2003.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 2, 2003
NOTE A — SUMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Capitalized Computer Hardware and Software
The Company records the purchase of computer hardware at historical cost and amortizes this cost over a period of three to five years. The Company has adopted SOP 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” The Company capitalizes software purchased from third parties if the related software product under development has reached technological feasibility or if there are alternative future uses for the purchased software provided that capitalized amounts will be realized over a period not exceeding five years.
In addition, the company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, interest, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software once technological feasibility is attained. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to general and administrative expense.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and related party receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $73,000 as of April 2, 2003.
Stock Based Compensation
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123.” This statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option. The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in its financial reports for the period from January 1, 2003 through April 2, 2003 and will adopt the interim disclosure provisions for its financial reports for the subsequent periods. The Company does not have stock based awards of compensation to employees granted or outstanding during the period from January 1, 2003 through April 2, 2003.
Liquidity
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,147,540 during the period from January 1, 2003 through April 2, 2003. The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,894,496 as of April 2, 2003.

APRIL 2, 2003
NOTE A — SUMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Comprehensive Income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (“SFAS 130”), “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.
Segment Information
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”). SFAS establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Interpretation 46 changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. Previously, the criteria were based on control through voting interest. Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. The consolidation requirements of Interpretation 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE A — SUMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, AMENDMENT OF STATEMENT 133 ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS 149 amends SFAS No. 133 to provide clarification on the financial accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires that contracts with similar characteristics be accounted for on a comparable basis. The provisions of SFAS 149 are effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 149 will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY. SFAS 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The provisions of SFAS 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years’ financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
NOTE B – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

NOTE C – LINE OF CREDIT AND RESTRICTED CASH
The Company had a line of credit primarily collateralized by the Company’s gross eligible accounts receivable, net of potential offsets. The line is also collateralized by all of the Company’s assets, including intellectual property. The Company may borrow up to the lesser of $2.5 million or 80% of the Company’s gross eligible accounts receivables. The line of credit carries an interest rate equal to prime +4.5%, and a collateral handling fee of .75% per month of the average gross daily purchased account balance. The outstanding balance of the line of credit as of April 2, 2003 was $1,321,469. The agreement expires in July 2003. The agreement provides for the Company to maintain certain financial covenants. As of April 2, 2003, the Company is not in compliance with these loan covenants. The agreement provides for certain remedies available to the lender should the events of noncompliance constitute an event of default. Should the Company be required to obtain alternate financing, the Company may not be able to obtain financing on terms and conditions that can be met by the Company.

NOTE H – INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard Number 109 (“SFAS 109”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.
For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate unused net operating losses approximate $2,577,000, which expire through 2024. The deferred tax asset related to the carryforward is approximately $876,000. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized. Due to significant changes in ownership, the Company’s future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited (see Note L).
Components of deferred tax assets as of April 2, 2003 are as follows:
| | | | |
Non-current: | | | | |
Net operating loss carryforward | | $ | 876,000 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (876,000 | ) |

NOTE K — GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The accompanying statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of losses and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, the Company has accumulated loses from operations of $4,019,104. This factor among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve it’s liquidity problems. Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve it liquidity through the continued developing of its products, establishing a profitable market for the Company’s products and additional equity investment in the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company is actively pursing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing.
If operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management’s actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems.
