AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE1 BACKGROUND
DDS Technologies USA, Inc. and subsidiary (collectively, the ”Company”) is a development stage company with no revenues since its inception on July 17, 2002. The Company has obtained the patent rights on a world wide basis for a dry disaggregation and micronization system that converts certain waste into value added products for further processing or resale.
Since its inception, the Company has been dependent upon the receipt of capital investment to fund its continuing activities. In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company’s product development will be successfully completed or that it will be a commercial success. The Company’s ability to execute its business plan will depend on its ability to obtain additional financing and achieve a profitable level of operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be obtained. Nor can the Company give any assurance that it will generate substantial revenues or that its business operations will prove to be profitable.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DDS Technologies USA, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(B) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses at March 31, 2005 and December 31 2004, approximate their fair value because of their relatively short-term nature.
(C) Research and Development
Research and development consists of consulting fees incurred on the development of the Company’s technology and are expensed as incurred.
For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the period from July 17, 2002 (inception) through March 31, 2005, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $33,621, $0 and $168,729, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
(D) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(E) Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share (basic and diluted) is based on the net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
(F) Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the period from July 17, 2002 (inception) through March 31, 2005, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2004 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
(G) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value based method, under which compensation cost is measured as the excess of the stock’s market price at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options and warrants issued to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value based method, under which the expense is measured as the fair value of the security at the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share for each period presented as if compensation cost for the Company’s stock options had been determined in

DDS TECHNOLOGIES USA, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions; no dividend yield for all years; expected volatility from 132% to 135%; risk-free interest rate of 3%, and an expected life of 10 years.
In January 2005, the Company granted stock options to two Board members to purchase a total of 400,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Of the options to purchase 400,000 shares, options to purchase 100,000 shares are exercisable immediately and the balance is exercisable over the following three years. All the options expire in January 2015.
In March 2005, the Company granted stock options to its President and Chief Executive Officer as part of his employment agreement. The Company issued stock options to purchase 400,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Of the options to purchase 400,000 shares, options to purchase 100,000 shares are exercisable immediately and the balance is exercisable over the following three years. All the options expire in March 2015.
Under the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net loss and net loss per common share would have been as follows:

NOTE 5 CONSULTING AND MARKETING AGEEMENTS
On April 26, 2004, the Company entered into a 14 month agreement with a marketing company. The marketing company provides business advisory and various other investment and marketing services to the Company. The Company paid the marketing company $25,000 upon signing the agreement and pays a monthly fee of $5,000. In addition, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 400,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $3.75 and $4.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable until April 26, 2007. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model and resulted in a fair value of $170,052. The amount is amortized over the life of the agreement resulting in consulting expense of $36,440 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The remaining unamortized balance of $36,439 is presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as deferred consulting expense.
NOTE 6 CONTINGENCIES
(A) Litigation
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit whereby the plaintiff contends that it is entitled to a commission for allegedly procuring financing for a transaction. The Company filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses. The plaintiff seeks damages totaling $175,584, plus interest from December 31, 2002. The Company believes the suit is without merit and is vigorously defending its position. In the opinion of management, this suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company does not believe a provision is necessary at March 31, 2005 for this matter.
The Company received a potential claim from two shareholders alleging that the Company failed to register their shares for re-sale in the Company’s last registration statement, filed on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended on November 12, 2003 and an amendment thereto on December 13, 2003. In addition, these shareholders have alleged that they were induced erroneously into surrendering shares of DDS Holdings, Inc. in connection with the reorganization into Black Diamond Industries, Inc. Although the Company believes that it has defenses to these alleged actions, the Company is attempting to reach an amicable settlement for these claims. There can be no assurance that these disputes will be favorably resolved, if at all, or that these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not believe a provision is necessary at March 31, 2005 for this matter.
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit whereby a stockholder and former president of the Company contends that he is entitled to receive consulting fees under a consulting agreement. The Company suspended payments and terminated the consulting agreement due to non compliance by the plaintiff with the terms of the agreement. The Company has filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
On August 1, 2003, the Company entered into a nonbinding Pre-Formation Agreement with Xethanol Corporation (“Xethanol”), a company involved in the biomass waste-to-ethanol industry. In May 2004 the Company delivered one of its dry disaggregation machines to Xethanol’s plant in Iowa, for testing. The Company subsequently delivered to Xethanol a notice of termination with respect to the nonbinding Pre-Formation Agreement and demanded a return of its machine. Xethanol refused to return the machine. On October 22, 2004, the Company filed a Verified Complaint for injunctive relief. Amongst various requests, the Complaint requested the return of the machine to the Company. Xethanol filed a petition for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in late October 2004. The petition seeks money damages for breach of contract, tortuous interference with a contract, fraud, and declaratory judgment. The Company believes that the petition for arbitration is groundless. On November 3, 2004, the Company filed a response opposing Xethanol’s arbitration petition. In December 2004 the Company filed an amended Verified Complaint for injunctive relief. An arbitration hearing has been set to commence in the end of June, 2005 pending the completion of certain actions by both parties.
(B) Commitments
The Company has a commitment to make a final payment for each remaining machine for which it will take delivery. While the final amount per machine is not determinable at this time, it is expected that the final payment, per machine, may range between $125,000 and $200,000. Currently there are three additional machines that are due to be delivered at a future time to be determined by the Company.
NOTE 7 OTHER AGREEMENTS
On February 18, 2005 the Company entered into a five year agreement with a Canadian company whereby the Company granted an exclusive license to the Canadian company for the purpose of processing and extracting sulfur and sulfur derivative materials in North America. If the machine operates within certain parameters, the Company will be paid a negotiated purchase price plus royalties. Additional machines will be purchased at a negotiated higher price.
NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors for the sale of Series A convertible preferred stock. The Company issued 2,175 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $2,175,000 ($1,957,500 net of commissions) and the Company may raise up to an additional $1.8 million through the sale of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The proceeds were received through April 14, 2005 by the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock is initially convertible into approximately 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $.70 per share and has a 6% annual dividend rate payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, subject to standard equity conditions, in common stock, at the Company’s option.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
Each investor also received two warrants, a long-term warrant exercisable for a period of five years to acquire shares of common stock and a short-term warrant exercisable for a period of one year to acquire additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and long term warrants. The long term warrants in the aggregate are exercisable for approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock at a price of $.875 per share. The short term warrants in the aggregate are exercisable for (i) the same number of shares of convertible preferred stock (the “Short Term Warrant Preferred Stock”) as shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued in the offering and (ii) long term warrants for a number of shares of common stock equal to 35% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the short term warrant preferred stock. The Short Term Warrant exercise price is $1,000 per share of Short Term Warrant Preferred Stock together with the accompanying long term warrants. The Short Term Warrant Preferred Stock has the same rights and preferences as the Series A Preferred Stock, except the conversion price of the Short Term Warrant Preferred Stock is initially $0.85 per share.
Among the purchasers in the offering were James R. von der Heydt, Marc Mallis, Leo P. Koulos and Charles F. Kuoni III, members of the Company’s Board of Directors, who purchased units either directly or indirectly for purchase amounts of $25,000, $20,000, $20,000 and $20,000 respectively.
In April, 2005 by a majority vote of the shareholders, the Board approved the increase of the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 50 million shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Background
DDS Technologies USA, Inc. and subsidiary (the ”Company”) is a development stage company with no revenues since its inception on July 17, 2002. The Company has obtained the patent rights on a world wide basis for a dry disaggregation and micronization system that converts certain waste into value added products for further processing or resale.
On November 14, 2002, Black Diamond Industries, Inc., a public Florida corporation conducting no business other than to seek a suitable acquisition partner, acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of DDS Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation pursuant to a securities exchange agreement dated October 27, 2002. Under the terms of the securities exchange agreement, the stockholders of DDS Holdings, Inc. agreed to transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DDS Holdings, Inc. in exchange for an aggregate of 12,915,525 shares of common stock, or approximately 93%, of Black Diamond Industries. Immediately prior to, and in conjunction with the transaction, the sole director and officer and majority shareholder of Black Diamond Industries returned 13,564,350 shares of common stock to treasury.
In December 2002, Black Diamond Industries changed its name to DDS Technologies USA, Inc. and reincorporated in the state of Delaware.
Under a share exchange agreement dated April 4, 2003, FishtheWorld Holdings, Inc., a public Florida corporation conducting no business other than to seek a suitable acquisition partner, acquired 88.5% of DDS Technologies USA, Inc. in exchange for 15,367,255 shares of common stock, or approximately 97% of the then issued and outstanding shares, of FishtheWorld Holdings. Immediately prior to the share exchange, the majority shareholder of FishtheWorld Holdings returned 8,571,000 shares to treasury and resigned as the sole director and officer. The members of the Board of Directors of DDS Technologies USA, Inc. became members of the Board of Directors of FishtheWorld.
In May 2003, FishtheWorld Holdings changed its name to DDS Technologies, USA, Inc. and reincorporated in the State of Nevada.
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require that a company whose stockholders retain a majority interest in a business combination be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Since Black Diamond Industries and FishtheWorld Holdings were public shells and DDS Holdings, Inc. is a development stage company with no revenues, the transactions were treated as recapitalizations of DDS Technologies USA, Inc.
DDS Technologies USA, Inc. was formed in July 2002 for the purpose of commercializing certain technology which had been licensed from DDS Technologies Ltd., a United Kingdom company and a principal stockholder of DDS Technologies USA, Inc. The license had provided for the exclusive North, South, Central American and Caribbean (excluding Cuba) rights to the pending patent, # 02425336.1, which was filed with the European Patent Office on May 28, 2002.
14
Subsequently, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, dated July 31, 2004, with Umberto Manola (“Manola”), Haras Engineering Corp. (“HEC”), High Speed Fragmentation B.V. (“HSF”), and Intel Trust S.A. (“Intel”) and an Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of July 31, 2004 with HEC, HSF, Intel, Giancarlo Lo Fiego (“Lo Fiego”) and Adriano Zapparoli (“Zapparoli”).
Pursuant to terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the Company, whose original license to the dry disaggregation technology was previously restricted to North, South and Central America, the Caribbean (excluding Cuba) and Africa, acquired sole ownership of the patents for the dry disaggregation technology. Following the assignment to the Company of the patents, the Company filed the assignments with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company also plans to file the assignments in the corresponding offices in the foreign jurisdictions where the patents have been applied for or obtained.
The patent relates to the Longitudinal Micrometric Separator For Classifying Solid Particulate Materials. Management believes that this Disaggregation Dry System (DDS) technology system is a unique process, in which fragments of organic and inorganic matter are “crushed to collision” enduring violent accelerations and decelerations causing the disaggregation of the structure. This technology and its end results are believed by the various companies that we have contacted to have tremendous potential value both economically and nutritionally. Management believes that the results obtained utilizing the technology are unattainable with any other currently available technology.
Initial work on the production version of the Company’s dry disaggregation machine by the Company’s consulting engineers has revealed that it does not fully disaggregate organic material to the extent that a prototype research machine does, and therefore requires additional development work. However, the production version does micronize very effectively to particle sizes of between 5 and 20 microns which provides application opportunities and commercial potential in a number of industries.
Results of Operations
From July 17, 2002 (inception) through March 31, 2005, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $12,697,078. To date, the Company has yet to achieve revenues from operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred operating expenses of $628,865 and $1,379,369, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to the reduction in the amortization of deferred consulting fees associated with warrants issued for services. The Company anticipates that losses from operations will continue for the remainder of the year primarily due to our relatively long sales cycle and the significant due diligence and testing conducted by our prospective customers. Testing includes the preparation of
15
various sample products for processing using our proprietary technology process through our testing facility and submitting our analysis of results to third party labs for independent verification as well as reviewing the results with the prospective client. However, if the Company is not able to successfully implement our business model, the Company may not be able to achieve profitability.
The Company has marketed its technology to various large US and Latin American companies resulting in Memoranda of Understanding and has recently signed a five year licensing agreement with a Canadian firm for the purpose of processing and extracting sulfur and sulfur derivative materials in North America. However there can be no assurance that the Dry Disaggregation System technology will achieve market acceptance or that sufficient revenues will be generated to allow us to operate profitably.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have funded our losses, license payments and patent acquisitions through the private sale of common and preferred stock and financing from accredited investors. On April 12, 2005 we completed a private placement for the sale of convertible preferred stock to accredited investors resulting in net proceeds of $1,957,500. Our cash balance at March 31, 2005 was $67,030.
The Company has a commitment to make a final payment for each remaining machine for which it will take delivery. While the final amount per machine is not determinable at this time, it is expected that the final payment, per machine, may range between $125,000 and $200,000. Currently there are three additional machines that are due to be delivered at a future time to be determined by the Company.
Without demonstrating commercial feasibility and/or securing customers we do not believe that we will be able to secure additional capital necessary to fund operations through private placements of our securities, or achieve sufficient revenues to operate at a cash flow breakeven.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective in timely providing them with material information required to be disclosed by us in our filings under the Exchange Act. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls during our most recent fiscal quarter, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

In May 2004 the Company delivered one of its dry disaggregation machines to Xethanol’s plant in Iowa, for testing. The Company subsequently delivered to Xethanol a notice of termination with respect to the Pre-Formation Agreement and demanded a return of its machine. Xethanol refused to return the machine.
On October 22, 2004, the Company filed a Verified Complaint for injunctive relief in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa against Xethanol, Xethanol-One, LLC (“X-One”), Permeate Refining, Inc. (“Permeate”), Charles d’Arnaud Taylor (Xethanol’s President), Jeffrey Langberg (an advisor to Taylor) and Robert Lehman (Permeate’s General Manager). The Verified Complaint seeks the entry of an order prohibiting the defendants – Xethanol, X-One, Permeate, Taylor, Langberg and Lehman – from: (A) preventing the Company from taking immediate possession of its disaggregation system, which was temporarily located on Permeate’s premises in Hopkinton, Iowa (the “DDS System”); (B) pirating or reverse engineering

the technology contained in and exemplified by the DDS System; (C) disclosing or revealing to a third party the technology contained in and exemplified by the DDS System; (D) altering, modifying, wasting or damaging the DDS System; or (E) attempting to pledge, sell or dispose of the DDS System.
The Company intends to vigorously prosecute this lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants’ continued detention of the DDS System is producing irreparable injury to the Company by depriving it of a unique product on which the Company may perform tests and adjustments, and which the Company could display to potential customers. Consistent with its intention to vigorously prosecute this lawsuit, Company has asked the district attorney in Delaware County, Iowa, to pursue criminal charges against any and all persons as to whom it may be appropriate.
Proceeding under the Pre-Formation Agreement, which the Company believes, is essentially an agreement to agree, Xethanol and an entity it created and controls – DDS-Xethanol, LLC (the “LLC”) – filed a petition for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in late October 2004. The petition seeks money damages for breach of contract, tortuous interference with a contract, fraud, and declaratory judgment.
The Company believes that the petition for arbitration is groundless. On November 3, 2004, the Company filed a response opposing Xethanol’s arbitration petition. The Company’s response contains defenses and affirmative defenses, and sets out counterclaims for replevin, conversion and declaratory judgment. An arbitration hearing has been set to commence by the end of June, 2005 pending the completion of certain actions by both parties.
