Notes to Financial Statement
December 31, 2004
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements of TechnoConcepts, Inc. contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004 and the statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004.
Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issuance costs are the costs incurred relating to the convertible notes. The costs are amortized over the term of the related indebtedness.
Stock Based Compensation - In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company currently accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. As the Company is not required to adopt the fair value based recognition provisions prescribed under SFAS No. 123, as amended, it has elected only to comply with the disclosure requirements set forth in the statement which includes disclosing pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004: expected volatility of 70%; risk free interest rate of between 3.36% and 3.69%; and expected lives of 5 years.

Continued
Stock Based Compensation (continued)
The effects of applying SFAS No. 123, as amended, in the above pro forma disclosures are not indicative of future amounts as they do not include the effects of awards granted prior to Fiscal 1996. Additionally, future amounts are likely to be affected by the number of grants awarded since additional awards are generally expected to be made at varying amounts.
The pro forma net loss and loss per share consists of the following:
| Three Months Ended |

Proforma net loss | $ (678,397) | $ (942,097) |
Proforma diluted loss per share | $ (.03) | $ (.12) |
NOTE 2 CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In November and December 2003, the Company entered into various unsecured convertible note agreements for receipt of $333,675. These notes carry an interest rate of between 8% to 11% per annum, with all interest and principal due in April, 2004. At the time of maturity, notes totaling $316,675 were converted into 697,641 shares of common stock. The balance of notes totaling $17,000 have not yet been converted and are currently in default.
NOTE 3 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In January and February 2004, the Company issued convertible notes aggregating $905,000. The notes incur interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due on January 31, 2005. The notes are convertible any time after June 30, 2004 at a conversion price of $1.75 per common share. Interest is payable quarterly, in cash or stock. The Company has not paid the interest due April 30, July 31, and October 31, 2004. As a result, the notes are currently in default.

NOTE 4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Two founders of the Company have performed consulting services for which the Company has paid or accrued consulting fees. For the period ended December 31, 2003, consulting services of $500,000 were provided by these founders. Of this amount, $439,000 has been paid. The remaining balance of $61,000 is accrued at December 31, 2004. In addition these founders received 1,109,184 shares in the original capitalization of the Company.
NOTE 5 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a cumulative loss from operations of $2,588,100 and a negative cash flow from operations of $1,759,276, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon a successful future public offering and ultimately achieving profitable operations. Towards these ends, the Company raised $3,975,000 through two offerings of securities in November 2004. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional proceeds or achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 6 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On November 17, 2004 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), and a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the "Buyers"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell, and the Buyers agreed to purchase, 7% Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,775,000 and warrants (“Warrants”) exercisable for a total of 608,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), one half of which are exercisable at $3.50 per share and one half of which are exercisable at $4.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from this transaction were approximately $3,442,000, afte r the payment of commissions and expenses.

December 31, 2004
NOTE 6 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (continued)
The Debentures are due and payable on November 17, 2006 and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at $2.50 per share, subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. Interest on the Debentures is due quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter and may, at the Company’s discretion, be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock assuming certain conditions are satisfied (including, that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures have been registered for resale to the public with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)). In addition, the Company may require the conversion of the Debentures into shares of Common Stock if certain conditions are satisfied, including without limitation, that the average trading price of the Common Stock exceeds $7.00 per share for not less than 22 consecutive trading days. On the first day of each month commencing on December 1, 2005, the Company is required to redeem one-twelfth of the original principal amount of the Debentures.
In addition, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement also dated as of November 17, 2004, (the "Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement"), with an institutional investor (the "Preferred Stock Buyer"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Preferred Stock Buyer agreed to purchase, 800 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”) and Warrants exercisable for a total of 320,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for consideration equal in value to $2,000,000. The Warrants are identical to the Warrants issued to the Buyers. This transaction has not yet been completed.
NOTE 7 PAYMENT OF STOCK SUBSCRIPTION
In December 2004, stock subscriptions receivable totaling $4,008 were paid.
NOTE 8 LEASE OF NEW OFFICE SPACE
In December 2004, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a third party. The lease is for a three-year period commencing March 1, 2005 for $13,543 per month. The agreement, among other provisions, contains clauses for annual rent increases and additional rent for expenses.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
As of December 31, 2004, the Company has a working capital of $1,713,925, cumulative losses from operations of $2,588,100 and a negative cash flow from operations of $617,288. We expect our cash requirements will increase significantly throughout our current fiscal year, as we continue our research and development efforts, hire and expand our staff, expand our leased facilities, and attempt to execute on our business strategy through working capital growth and capital expenditures. The amount and timing of cash requirement swill depend on market acceptance of our products and the resources we devote to researching and developing, marking, selling and supporting our products. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand, should be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, if current sources are not sufficient to meet our needs, we may seek add itional equity or debt financing. In addition, any material acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies or material joint venture could require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds on acceptable terms we may not succeed in executing our strategy and achieving our business objective. In particular, we could be forced to limit our product development and marketing activities, forego attractive business opportunities and we may lose the ability to respond to competitive pressures.
Plan of Operations
We have not earned any revenues to date. The Company’s strategy is to become a leading provider of wireless communication technology by offering True Software Radio ASICs and chipsets to major telecommunications equipment and component suppliers for integration into their wireless communications products.
To date the Company has entered into three preliminary agreements with potential strategic partners for the joint development of True Software Radio handset components. None of the preliminary agreements assure that the Company will realize any revenue from the sale or license of its products or technology.
The Company intends to seek to establish strategic relationships with both component manufacturers and “total solution” providers. The Company believes that incorporation of its True Software Radio technology will enable its industry partners to provide less expensive service along with seamless roaming and global interoperability, thereby enabling new and enhanced services and applications such as mobile e-commerce, position location, mobile multimedia web browsing, including music and video downloads, public safety and homeland security. Elements of the Company’s strategy include:
Selling to the Portable Device Market
The Company anticipates opportunities in the portable device market (defined here as the aggregation of handsets, PDAs, and other niche wireless access devices), which include:
·
Sales of True Software Radio “engines” (essentially very small wireless “motherboards”) to portable device manufacturers;
·
Non-recurring engineering fees for integration services to large manufacturers that want to adopt True Software Radio technology into their products and license fees based upon units sold under their own brand names (embedded products); and
·
OEM licensing agreements for physical/data link layer software to handset manufacturers.
The Company has not entered into definitive agreements of the type referred to above as of the date of this report.
11
Selling to the Base Station Market
The Company believes that True Software Radio technology will contribute to the obsolescence of conventional wireless technology. The True Software Radio transceiver is capable of providing at least three times the capacity of a conventional unit, making the per-channel cost equal to roughly one-third. The Company anticipates revenue generation from the base station market primarily from four sources:
·
Base station transceiver hardware sales;
·
Licensing of base station software for physical and data link layer processing to infrastructure
makers;
·
Strategic partnerships for international deployment of base station systems;
·
Non-recurring engineering (NRE) fees for the development of custom interfaces to the Company’s physical/data link layer software to government agencies and to their contractors.
The Company has not entered into definitive agreements of the type referred to above as of the date of this report.
Military Uses
The Company’s True Software Radio technology can provide seamless communications between various service branches and between allied forces in joint operations across all bands, including satellite communications. The Company is pursuing direct military sales and strategic partnerships (none of which have been consummated as of the date of this report) with major defense contractors such as Lockheed-Martin, General Dynamics, TRW, BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, Rockwell Collins, Boeing, and others.
Public Safety
The Company’s True Software Radio technology can provide seamless communications between various local public safety agencies that otherwise may not be able to “talk” to one another during an emergency. The Company is actively seeking strategic partnerships with contractors that are involved in providing interoperability wireless communication for State and Federal public safety and emergency agencies and for the Department of Homeland Security.
Accelerating Growth through Partnering and Acquisition
Because the highly competitive wireless communication technology marketplace is changing rapidly, the Company wishes to broaden and build depth in its planned product/service lines as quickly as possible. The Company also recognizes the need to achieve critical mass with a global presence in order to establish a leadership position in the market. To that end, the Company’s strategic initiatives include:
·
Preemptively developing partnerships and relationships with processor companies, and wireless communication service providers, emphasizing multiple protocol capabilities and supporting multi-vendor purchase strategies by service providers;
·
Preemptively developing strategic partnerships with one or more major digital signal processor suppliers;
·
Developing and maintaining an integrated development team with system, hardware, and software/firmware expertise;
·
Preemptively developing partnerships and relationships with RF semiconductor service providers and distributing high volume components on an OEM (remarked) basis through one or more of these firms;
·
Licensing older designs while continuing to develop new hardware and software; and
·
Developing leading edge software and firmware.
12
The Company also recognizes that consummating strategic acquisitions can help expand the Company's geographic presence, and obtain specialized management and technical talent. To this end, the Company will consider acquiring companies that will help enable the Company to accelerate growth, accelerate technical development and commercialization of True Software Radio, add complementary product and service lines, diversify the Company into new markets, expand the Company’s geographic presence, acquire capable management, gain new technical capabilities, and/or gain a larger share of the existing market.
The Company has no agreement or understanding to acquire any other company as of the date of this report.
To date, the company has expended substantial amounts to upgrade its products through research and development and has received patents and is in the process of applying for additional patents for its products. The company expects these expenditures for research and development to continue for the indefinite future as the company improves and adapts its products.
The Company currently has nine full time employees and anticipates having to increase its staff substantially in the future in order to execute the Company’s strategy.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Period Ended December 31, 2004
We incurred General and Administrative expenses of $459,536 as a result of overhead expenses including investor relations, investment banking fees, consulting costs, engineering costs, research and development costs and professional fees. For the same period ended December 31, 2003, we had incurred expenses of $941,354.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report.
13
Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. The Company was late in the filing of several current reports on Form 8-K during the year. The Company has instituted additional disclosure controls and has hired additional staff and professionals to prevent future late filings.
There has been no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
On November 17, 2004 (the “Closing Date”) the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), and a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the "Buyers"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell, and the Buyers agreed to purchase, 7% Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,775,000 and warrants (“Warrants”) exercisable for a total of 608,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), one half of which are exercisable at $3.50 per share and one half of which are exercisable at $4.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from this transaction were approximately $3,442,000, aft er the payment of commissions and expenses.
The Debentures are due and payable on November 17, 2006 and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at $2.50 per share, subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. Interest on the Debentures is due quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter and may, at the Company’s discretion, be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock assuming certain conditions are satisfied (including, that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures have been registered for resale to the public with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)).
In addition, the Company may require the conversion of the Debentures into shares of Common Stock if certain conditions are satisfied, including without limitation, that the average trading price of the Common Stock exceeds $7.00 per share for not less than 22 consecutive trading days. On the first day of each month commencing on December 1, 2005, the Company is required to redeem one-twelfth of the original principal amount of the Debentures.
14
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants by no later than January 20, 2005. As of the date hereof, the Company has not yet filed the required registration statement. The Company also agreed to use its best efforts to cause such registration to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible, but not later than 135 days following the Closing Date. Certain damages will be incurred by the Company for failing to file and/or have the registration statement declared effective, in a timely manner. Failure to have the registration statement declared effective by the 240th day following the Closing Date is an event of default under the Debentures. The Registration Rights Agreement also prov ides indemnification and contribution remedies to the Buyers in connection with the resale of shares pursuant to such registration statement.
In addition, the Company has entered into a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has granted the Debenture holders a first priority lien on all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Security Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.
The Buyers are set forth in the Schedule of Buyers to the Purchase Agreement.
In addition, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement also dated as of November 17, 2004, (the "Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement"), with an institutional investor (the "Preferred Stock Buyer"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Preferred Stock Buyer agreed to purchase, 800 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”) and Warrants exercisable for a total of 320,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for consideration valued at $2,000,000. The Warrants are identical to the Warrants issued to the Buyers. This transaction has not yet been completed.
The preferences, limitations and relative rights with respect to Series B Preferred Stock are summarized below:
Series B Preferred Stock
