INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 5 - Other Events
The Audit Committee and current Directors of Bridge Technology, Inc. have been reviewing the actions of certain former officers, directors and employees of the Company and determined that it was appropriate to file litigation against these parties in the pending United States Bankruptcy Court proceeding involving the Company (Case No. SA04-13988-JR). In its lawsuit, Bridge seeks recourse against these individuals for various actions taken that were detrimental to Bridge and need to be corrected in the best interest of shareholders. Of particular importance to the Audit Committee and current Directors, is the failure of the Company’s former CEO, James Djen, to adjust the purchase price of the CMS Technology, Ltd., Hong Kong as the result of a mandatory appraisal determined by the American Appraisal Company. The fair and reasonable price for CMS Technology, Ltd., Hong Kong was determined to be $5,640,000 and the Company paid for its 90% ownership, in a related party transaction, the price of $9,000,000 resulting in a $3,924,000 overpayment. The Company had previously reported on Form 10-KSB and Forms 10-QSB that the purchase price was approved subject to an independent appraisal. Reference is made to the Company’s 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000, Footnote 11, subsequent events and the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, Footnote 4, acquisition of CMS Technology, Ltd., Hong Kong and the Exhibit 10-G, CMS Technology, Ltd., Hong Kong acquisition agreement as amended, March 15, 2000.
