The selling stockholders consist of: (i) BarBell Group Inc. (“BarBell”), which may purchase and resell up to 444,444 shares pursuant to an equity line of credit (the “Equity Line of Credit”). We are not obligated to sell any shares under the Equity Line of Credit. We have decided not to sell any shares under the Equity Line of Credit at any time that our market price is below $3.00 per share, except upon conversion of a $250,000 convertible note, without first filing a Supplement to this Prospectus. Additionally, BarBell may purchase up to 75,000 shares of our authorized but previously unissued common stock pursuant to a Warrant (the “Warrant”).

BarBell, Capstone and/or Crescent may be considered an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of common stock under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement. With regard to shares of our common stock purchased by BarBell under the Equity Line of Credit, BarBell will pay us a purchase price equal to 75% of the volume weighted average market price of our common stock and the resulting 25% discount will be considered an underwriting discount.
Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Pink Sheets under the symbol “INSA.”
THESE SECURITIES ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
PLEASE REFER TO “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 3.
With the exception of BarBell, which is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of common stock under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, no underwriter or any other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. This offering, including the shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the Warrant, shall terminate on or before May 9, 2004. None of the proceeds from the sale of stock by the selling stockholders will be placed in escrow, trust or any similar account.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE OFFERING
This offering relates to the sale of common stock by certain persons who are our stockholders. The selling stockholders consist of:
(i) BarBell, a Panamanian corporation engaged in finance and equity line of credit transactions, may purchase from us and resell up to an aggregate amount of 519,444 shares of our common stock. These shares include up to 444,444 which BarBell is obligated to buy and which we may, in our discretion, elect to sell to BarBell pursuant to an equity line of credit (the “Equity Line of Credit”). Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to BarBell shares of our authorized but previously unissued common stock up to a maximum total purchase price of $1,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). The purchase price for each share sold by us under the Equity Line of Credit is 75% of the market price of our common stock at the time of the purchase (the “Equity Line Purchase Price”). We are not obligated to sell any shares under the Equity Line of Credit. We have decided not to sell any shares under the Equity Line of Credit at any time when our market price is below $3.00 per share, except upon conversion of a $250,000 convertible note, without first filing a Supplement to this Prospectus. On May 9, 2003 we borrowed $250,000 from BarBell collateralized by 350,000 shares of our common stock owned by our President and trusts for members of our Chairman’s family. The loan was pursuant to a thirteen month convertible note bearing interest at 7% per annum. Following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we anticipate that BarBell will convert the loan, to the extent not previously prepaid by us, into authorized but previously unissued shares of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit. Additionally, BarBell may purchase up to 75,000 shares of our authorized but previously unissued common stock at $2.76 per share pursuant to a warrant (the “Warrant”). Only 25,000 shares are currently vested and eligible for purchase by BarBell under the Warrant. This prospectus relates to the shares of our common stock which may be acquired by BarBell under the Equity Line of Credit and under the Warrant. BarBell may immediately sell any of the shares of our common stock purchased under the Equity Line of Credit or Warrant.
(ii) Capstone Group, LLC (“Capstone”), a registered securities broker-dealer, received 4,000 shares of our common stock as compensation for introducing us to BarBell; and
(iii) Crescent Fund, Inc. (“Crescent”), an investor relations firm engaged by us, received 2,000 shares of our common stock as compensation for introducing us to Capstone.
Brokers or dealers effecting transactions in the shares being registered in this offering should confirm that the shares are registered under applicable state law or that an exemption from registration is available.
| | |
Common Stock Offered | | Up to 519,444 shares by BarBell as a selling stockholder (the number of shares being registered in this offering will represent approximately 3% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding upon their issuance). 4,000 shares by Capstone. 2,000 shares by Crescent. |

RISK FACTORS
We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS FILING BEFORE DECIDING TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK. IF ANY OF THESE RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES OCCURS, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE MATERIALLY HARMED. IN THAT CASE, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE AND YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE HAVE HISTORICALLY LOST MONEY AND LOSSES MAY CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE, WHICH MEANS THAT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS UNLESS WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
We have historically lost money. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, we sustained net losses of $3.6 million. From inception, we have sustained aggregate net losses of $9.8 million. Future losses may occur. Accordingly, we may experience significant liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to raise additional capital as needed and on acceptable terms. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.
3
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS OR WE MAY BE UNABLE TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS, PROMOTE OUR PRODUCTS OR DEVELOP OUR TECHNOLOGY
Our operations have relied almost entirely on external financing to fund our operations. Such financing has historically primarily come from the of sale of common stock to third parties and to a lesser degree from loans and revenue from product sales and license fees. We anticipate that, in addition to funds that may be obtained by us under the Equity Line of Credit and Warrant exercise we will need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated operating expenses and future expansion. Among other things, external financing will be required to cover our operating costs. We cannot assure you that financing whether from external sources or related parties will be available if needed or on favorable terms. If additional financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our operations and planned growth, develop or enhance our technology, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive market pressures, any of which could make it more difficult for us to continue operations. Any reduction in our operations may result in a lower stock price.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS DEEMED TO BE “PENNY STOCK,” WHICH MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES DUE TO SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS
Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks are stock:
| • | | With a price of less than $5.00 per share; |
|
| • | | That are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; |
|
| • | | Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or |
|
| • | | In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. |
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY UPON WHICH YOU CAN BASE YOUR INVESTMENT DECISION
We have had a limited operating history and have had only limited revenue. We are a development stage company, and accordingly, we anticipate that we will encounter many difficulties and risks associated with our early stage of development which includes, but is not limited to, the introduction of new products, the search for and hiring of new personnel, access to
4
required capital, management issues, ramping up manufacturing capacity, and other important business aspects.
WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPETE WITH LARGER AND WELL-ESTABLISHED COMPANIES WHICH ARE BETTER FINANCED.
There are a number of well-established companies which are well known in the manufacture and/or distribution of products for the security and life-safety markets. Such companies include G.E. - Interlogics, Ademco, and others. Accordingly, we are subject to the difficult challenge of introducing and commercializing our new technology and products in a market place in a strong competitive environment. Additionally, our technology and products based thereon will have to compete with other technologies such as passive infrared and various types of motion detection which are well known and well accepted.
WE ARE COMMERCIALIZING A NEW TECHNOLOGY WHICH WILL INVOLVE UNCERTAINTY AND RISKS RELATED TO MARKET ACCEPTANCE.
We are commercializing a new technology which is seeking to gain market acceptance and to demonstrate its perceived competitive advantages. Our success is dependent, to a large degree, upon our ability to fully develop and commercialize our technology and gain industry acceptance of our products, based upon this new technology and its perceived competitive advantages.
MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY CONTROLS IN EXCESS OF 50% OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON A FULLY DILUTED BASIS AND SUCH CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP MAY HAVE THE EFFECT OF DELAYING OR PREVENTING A CHANGE OF CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY
As a result, these management stockholders will have significant influence in matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and the control of the management and affairs of the Company. Accordingly, such concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company or discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of the Company.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, THE FOUNDATION OF OUR BUSINESS, WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS BY MAKING IT EASIER FOR OUR COMPETITORS TO DUPLICATE OUR SERVICES
We regard certain aspects of our products, processes, services and technology as proprietary. We have taken steps to protect them with patents, copyrights, trademarks, restrictions on disclosure and other methods. Despite these precautions, we cannot be certain that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our proprietary rights or that third parties will not independently develop similar products, services and technology. Any infringement, misappropriation or independent development could cause us to cease operations.
5
We have an issued patent and have filed six patent applications with respect to various aspects of our technology. The pending patent applications may not be issued to us, and if issued, may not protect our intellectual property from competition which could seek to design around or invalidate these patents. Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights in our products, services and technology could harm our business by making it easier for our competitors to duplicate our services.
We may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets, determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or defend ourselves from claims of infringement, invalidity or unenforceability. Litigation may be expensive and divert resources even if we win. This could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results such that it could cause us to reduce or cease operations.
OTHER PARTIES MAY ASSERT THAT OUR TECHNOLOGY INFRINGES ON THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WHICH COULD DIVERT MANAGEMENT TIME AND RESOURCES AND POSSIBLY FORCE OUR COMPANY TO REDESIGN OUR TECHNOLOGY
Technology-based companies, such as ours, have the potential of litigation based on allegations of patent infringement. From time to time, third parties may assert patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to us. While there currently are no outstanding infringement claims pending by or against us, we cannot assure you that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future, that assertion by such parties will not result in costly litigation, or that they will not prevail in any such litigation. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to license any valid and infringed patents from third parties on commercially reasonable terms or, alternatively, be able to redesign products on a cost-effective basis to avoid infringement. Any infringement claim or other litigation against or by us could have a material adverse effect on us and could cause us to reduce or cease operations.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES, WHICH COULD RENDER OUR PRODUCTS LESS COMPETITIVE OR OBSOLETE
Changes in technology, changes in customer requirements and preferences, introduction of products and services embodying new or different technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices could render our existing technology and products less competitive or obsolete. Our future success will depend on our ability to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality, accessibility and features of our technology and products. We expect that our marketplace will require extensive technological upgrades and enhancements to accommodate many of the new products and services that we anticipate will be added to our marketplace. We cannot assure you that we will be able to expand and upgrade our technology and systems, or successfully integrate new technologies or systems we develop in the future, to accommodate such increases in a timely manner.
WE MAY NOT EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE GROWTH NECESSARY TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE QUALITY OF OUR OPERATIONS AND OUR COSTS
6
In order to successfully execute our business plan, we must significantly increase the number of strategic partners, manufactures, dealers, distributors and customers that use our products. This growth will place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources. We also expect that we will continue to hire employees, including technical, management-level employees, and sales staff for the foreseeable future. This growth will require us to improve management, technical, information and accounting systems, controls and procedures. We may not be able to maintain the quality of our operations, control our costs, continue complying with all applicable regulations and expand our internal management, technical information and accounting systems in order to support our desired growth. We cannot be sure that we will manage our growth effectively, and our failure to do so could cause us to reduce or cease operations.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
THE INVESTOR UNDER THE LINE OF CREDIT WILL PAY LESS THAN THE THEN-PREVAILING MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
The common stock to be issued under the Equity Line of Credit will be issued at a 25% discount to the market price at the time of the transaction. This discounted sale could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS INTEND TO SELL THEIR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE MARKET, WHICH SALES MAY CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE
The selling stockholders intend to sell in the public market the shares of common stock being registered in this offering. This means that, if we elect to sell all shares being registered, up to 525,444 shares of our common stock, may be sold. The number of shares being registered in this offering represents approximately 3% of the total number of shares of common stock currently outstanding. Such sales may cause our stock price to decline.
THE POTENTIAL DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK CAUSED BY THE SALE OF COMMON STOCK UNDER THE ACCOMPANYING REGISTRATION STATEMENT COULD ENCOURAGE SHORT SALES BY THIRD PARTIES, WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE FURTHER DECLINE OF OUR STOCK PRICE
The potential downward pressure on our stock price caused by the sale of stock registered in this offering could encourage short sales by third parties. Such short sales could place further downward pressure on our stock price.
OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN RELATIVELY THINLY TRADED AND WE CANNOT PREDICT THE EXTENT TO WHICH A TRADING MARKET WILL DEVELOP
Before this offering, our common stock has traded on the Over-the-Counter Pink Sheets. Our common stock is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known companies in our industry. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for the common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DRAW DOWN UNDER THE EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT IF THE INVESTOR HOLDS MORE THAN 4.9% OF OUR COMMON STOCK
7
In the event BarBell holds more than 4.9% of the then-outstanding common stock of our company, we will be unable to draw down on the Equity Line of Credit. Currently, BarBell has beneficial ownership of only 25,000 shares under the Warrant. If we are unable to draw down on the Equity Line of Credit, are unable to obtain additional external funding or unable to generate revenue from the sale of our products, we could be forced to curtail or cease our operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales and profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our future financing plans and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations”, “Description of Business”, as well as in this prospectus generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will in fact occur.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of common stock to BarBell under the Equity Line of Credit and Warrant.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the securities was estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933 and was not computed based on assets, historical operating performance or other conventional means and should not be construed to indicate any relationship thereto. The offering price was based upon contract with BarBell.
EFFECT ON NET TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE
Since this offering is being made solely by the selling stockholders and none of the proceeds will be paid to us, our net tangible book value will not be affected by the sale of shares covered by this Prospectus by the selling stockholders. It is noted that our current net tangible book value will, however, be increased in the event we elect to sell shares of our common stock under the Equity Line of Credit assuming the lowest price at which we elect to sell our shares under the Equity Line of Credit is $2.25, the lowest price at which we will sell our shares under the Equity Line of Credit without first filing a supplement to this Prospectus.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholders. With the exception of Capstone, none of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers and none of the selling stockholders have held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with us, except as follows:

|
(3) | | We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, or upon conversion of the Warrant in part, because the purchase price of the shares under the Equity Line of Credit will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and Invisa has not determined the total amount of shares it will ultimately sell under the Equity Line of Credit and the total number of shares vested under the Warrant will change from a minimum of 25,000 shares to a maximum of 75,000 shares based on our election to sell shares to BarBell under the Equity Line of Credit. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock registered under this registration statement in connection with the Equity Line of Credit and Warrant is based on our estimate of the maximum number of shares that we anticipate issuing with respect thereto. |

(1) Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation establishing the authorized stock of Invisa at 100,000,000 shares (5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and increasing the shares of Common Stock to 95,000,000) was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 24, 2003.
EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
SUMMARY - On May 9, 2003, we entered into an Equity Line of Credit with BarBell. Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to BarBell shares of common stock for a total purchase price of up to $1,000,000. For each share of common stock purchased under the Equity Line of Credit, BarBell will pay a purchase price equal to 75% of the volume weighted average price for the four trading days preceding our preliminary put notice and ending on and including the date which is five trading days after such preliminary put notice from us (the “Market Price”). Volume Weighted Average Price means the price reported by Bloomberg.com, or if not available through Bloomberg.com, then the average of the bid prices of any market makers of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Pink Sheets or any U.S. exchange on which Invisa’s common stock is traded. To date, we have neither sold nor has BarBell purchased any shares of our common stock under the Equity Line of Credit. However, it is noted that BarBell has loaned us $250,000 pursuant to a 7% convertible note due on June 9, 2004 (the “Convertible Note”). Any principal amount of the Convertible Note not prepaid shall be converted into shares of common stock at the option of BarBell under the Equity Line of Credit. To the extent that the Convertible Note is converted, the amount otherwise available under the Equity Line of Credit will be reduced. The Company may prepay up to 50% of the Convertible Note with a prepayment penalty equal to 20% of the principal amount being prepaid. The sale of the shares under the Equity Line of Credit is conditioned upon this registration. The costs associated with this registration will be borne by us. In addition, we have engaged Capstone Capital Partners LC (“Capstone”), an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer, to act as our placement agent in connection with the Equity Line of Credit and we have issued 6,000 shares of our common stock to Capstone pursuant to such arrangement. Capstone has reassigned 2,000 shares of our stock to Crescent Fund, Inc. who introduced us to Capstone. Additionally, Capstone will earn a fee equal to 13% of all funds received by the Company from the placement of shares of its common stock with BarBell under the Equity Line of Credit excluding funds which may be received by us under the Warrant and under the conversion of the Convertible Note.
EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT EXPLAINED. Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, we may periodically sell shares of common stock to BarBell to raise capital to fund our working capital needs. The periodic sale of shares is known as a put or sale. We may sell stock every 30 days, and subject to certain conditions, BarBell is obligated to purchase the shares of stock which we have put to it under the Equity Line of Credit. The conditions include that the amount of the purchase price must be at least $100,000. Further, the total value of each put will be the lowest of: (i) 25% of the Volume Weighted Average Price for the 30 trading days prior to the put notice multiplied by the trading volume for the same period; (ii) a dollar amount calculated in accordance with the Equity Line of Credit which would result in BarBell not owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding stock of Invisa; or (iii) $250,000.
The Equity Line of Credit terminates on May 9, 2004. We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, in part, because the purchase price of the shares will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions. We have not determined the total purchase price amount we intend to sell to BarBell. Nonetheless, we
10
have decided that we will not sell any shares to BarBell under the Equity Line of Credit at a time when our Market Price is below $3.00 per share without first filing a supplement to this Prospectus. Assuming the entire Equity Line of Credit is used by us, and no supplement is filed to this Prospectus, the maximum number of shares which we anticipate issuing pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit is 444,444 shares representing approximately 3% of our outstanding capital stock.
You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between our stock price and the number of shares to be issued, including those to be issued under the Equity Line of Credit. That is, as our stock price declines, we would be required to issue a greater number of shares under the Equity Line of Credit for a given advance.
The proceeds received under the Equity Line of Credit will be used for general corporate purposes. We cannot predict the total amount of proceeds to be raised in this transaction. We expect to incur expenses of approximately $160,000 if the entire Equity Line of Credit is used which will consist of $130,000 in placement fees, representing 13% of the gross proceeds and $30,000 in connection with professional fees incurred in connection with this registration.
In connection with the Equity Line of Credit, we previously issued a 7% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $250,000 which, upon completion of this registration may be converted into common stock under the Equity Line of Credit leaving $750,000 available under the Equity Line of Credit. In addition to the 13% finders fee, we have issued 6,000 shares of our common stock to Capstone as a portion of its finder’s fee. Capstone has assigned a portion of this fee (2,000 shares of common stock) to Crescent Fund, Inc. who introduced us to Capstone. Capstone is a securities broker dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of our common stock owned by the selling stockholders may be effected directly to purchasers by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, as principals or through one or more underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise than on the over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted. Any of such transactions may be effected at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling stockholders or by agreement between the selling stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, or purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling their shares of our common stock to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any
11
discounts, concessions or commissions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
If any shares of common stock being registered for resale in the accompanying registration statement are transferred from the named selling stockholders listed in this Prospectus and such transferees wish to rely on this Prospectus to resell these shares, then a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement would need to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission naming these individuals as selling shareholders and providing the information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-B.
BarBell is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of common stock under the Equity Line of Credit agreement. BarBell with pay us 75% of the Market Price of our common stock as traded in the Pink Sheets or other primary market which our stock is traded for the four trading days preceding the date on which we provide preliminary put notice to BarBell of our intention to sell shares under the Equity Line of Credit and for the five trading days following such preliminary notice date. If the price is below the minimum price specified by us, we are not obligated to complete the sale notwithstanding the preliminary notice. The 25% discount between the purchase price paid by BarBell and the Market Price is considered an underwriting discount. In connection with the establishment of the Equity Line of Credit, we granted to BarBell a Warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of our authorized but unissued common stock at a purchase price of $2.76 per share. 25,000 shares have been vested under this Warrant and the remaining 50,000 shares remain unvested and will only vest if we utilize the Equity Line of Credit as follows: (i) an additional 25,000 shares will vest once we have sold an aggregate of $500,000 of stock pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit; and (ii) an additional 25,000 shares will vest once we have sold an aggregate of $1,000,000 of stock pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit. The shares which may be purchased by BarBell under the Warrant are not required to be included in this registration; however, should said shares not be registered on the date of exercise, BarBell will be entitled to effect a cashless exercise pursuant to a formula which entitles BarBell to receive the net value (which is the difference between the market price and the exercise price for vested options).
BarBell is not required to purchase shares of our common stock if such purchase would cause Barbell’s beneficial ownership to exceed 4.9% of our outstanding capital stock. Currently BarBell owns no shares of Invisa’s common stock and has beneficial ownership of only 25,000 shares, the vested portion of its Warrant.
BarBell has been in business less than three years. BarBell is a private equity fund whose principal business function is to provide equity and debt financing to publicly traded companies. BarBell does not have any material relationships with any of our affiliates or promoters.
Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks are stock: (i) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (ii) that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or (iv) in issuers with net tangible
12
assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
We will pay all the expenses incident to this registration. We have agreed to indemnify Barbell and its controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We estimate that the expenses of the placement of shares with BarBell under the Equity Line of Credit to be borne by us will be approximately $160,000 assuming all of the Equity Line of Credit is used, which consists of a $130,000 finder’s fee representing 13% of the $1,000,000 Equity Line of Credit and estimated professional fees of $30,000. We intend to pay these expenses from the proceeds we anticipate receiving under the Equity Line of Credit. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of common stock to Barbell under the Equity Line of Credit and Warrant. Additionally, we have issued 6,000 shares and 75,000 warrants in connection with this agreement.
The selling stockholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the selling shareholders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such selling shareholders are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, except as noted below, the selling shareholders are not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. The Selling Shareholders can cover any short positions only with shares received from us under the Equity Line of Credit. The selling stockholders are advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
We are commercializing the patented InvisaShield™ presence sensing technology through the development of a potentially broad range of safety and security products. Presence sensing is the identification of people and conductive objects in a dependable and controlled manner. Presence sensing is commonly used in a wide range of industries such as safety, security, on and off switches, counting, notification, etc.
Our principal business is the manufacture and marketing of presence-sensing products for various applications. To date, our revenue has largely come from the sale of presence-sensing products to improve the safety of powered parking gates. Powered parking gates are motorized barriers used in parking and to control vehicle traffic. We anticipate that next year its revenue will reflect the sale of additional presence sensing products designed to improve the safety of various products which may include industrial doors, commercial overhead doors, powered slide and swing gates, and products designed to provide security sensing for various markets including museums, retail, residential, commercial, governmental and defense.
From inception (February 12, 1997) through March 31, 2003, we were largely focused on technology and product development. The estimated dollar amount spent during this period on company-sponsored research and development was $2,376,443, including $660,844 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $452,482 for the year ended December 31, 2001. We are continuing to engage in significant product development activities. Because of our losses which aggregate $9,780,285 from inception through March 31, 2003, limited capital and ongoing product development expenses, footnote C of the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants discuss that substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
PRODUCTS
Our current and planned products are divided into three market categories as follows:
Safety Market Category - Many safety devices and safety functions are dependent on presence sensing technology. We are seeking to develop a broad range of presence sensing products for the safety market under our brand name SmartGate®.
We believe that our safety products offer potential operational and maintenance benefits to the powered closure industry. We plan to develop safety products based upon our InvisaShield™ technology for a potentially broad base of powered closure devices which may include parking gates, sliding gates, swinging gates, vertical pivot gates, commercial overhead doors, residential garage doors, elevator doors, automated doors, powered car window and van doors, and manufacturing and industrial equipment.
To date, substantially all of our revenue, which has been limited, has been derived from the sale of our SmartGate® presence sensing products designed for powered parking barrier gates. See financial statements for revenues from this product category. Powered parking barrier gates are commonly used for traffic control and generally have a power operated barrier arm made of metal, wood or PVC which moves vertically between an open and a closed position. Our product places invisible presence sensing in front of and moving with the potentially dangerous barrier arm to identify the presence of people and vehicles. When an object is identified in the path of the moving barrier arm, our product signals the powered operator system, which is manufactured
23
by nonaffiliated entities for its predetermined response, such as stopping and reversing the barrier arm. During each of the last three fiscal years, an excess of 90% of our revenue was attributable to customers domiciled in the United States. In sales made to non-U.S. domiciled customers, the country to which the most sales were attributed was the United Kingdom.
In 2003, we expect to sell a new SmartGate® presence sensing product designed for powered sliding gates, and a similar new presence sensing product designed for powered swinging gates. These powered gates are manufactured by a significant number of nonaffiliated companies and are commonly used in residential, commercial and industrial traffic control.
We have developed prototypes of additional presence sensing products planned for the safety market. These planned products are being designed for powered commercial overhead doors and powered industrial doors, which are used in commercial, manufacturing, and industrial buildings, powered vertical pivot gates used in residential, commercial and industrial traffic control, and residential garage doors. We plan to develop a potentially broad range of additional presence sensing products for the safety market.
In August 2001, we appointed H.S. Jackson & Son (Fencing) Limited as our exclusive distributor for our parking and traffic control and fence and gate products, including parking gate, slide gate and swing gate safety products, for the U.K. We subsequently expanded this exclusive distributorship to include 33 European countries and to include our safety products for commercial overhead doors.
In July 2002, we appointed Rytec Corporation as our exclusive licensee to use our InvisaShield™ technology as original equipment in industrial doors in North America. Rytec Corporation is believed to be the largest manufacturer of industrial doors in North America. Industrial doors are high-speed powered doors frequently used in manufacturing and industrial environments where air conditioned, cooler and freezer areas are separated from warehouse or other areas.
Our average sale price for InvisaShield™ safety products is approximately $510. We consider our average gross margin of profit to be acceptable and we expect cost of goods to decline as we realize the economies of scale.
Security Market Category - Security systems and security equipment generally rely to varying degrees, on presence sensing technologies to identify the presence of potential intruders and trespassers, or to provide surveillance for valuable objects.
We have demonstrated production-ready prototypes of InvisaShield™ security products for the museum, residential, industrial, commercial, defense and governmental markets. We are designing these planned security products to place an invisible presence sensing shield (in a fashion similar to our safety sensing shield) around exposed perimeters, doors and windows and to provide an invisible presence sensing shield dedicated to valuable objects such as safes, locking cabinets, display cases, objects of art and jewelry.
Our planned security products are being developed as both easy to install, stand alone security products for the do-it-yourself (DIY) market and as components available to security professionals to provide additional functions for new and installed security systems.
Our planned security products will compete with existing presence sensing technologies currently used in the security market such as infrared motion detectors, lasers, infrared beam systems and magnetic switches.
24
Other Market Categories - We plan to develop presence sensing products for a broad range of other markets and applications such as on and off switching for bathroom fixtures, appliances and lamps, vehicular security systems, various governmental applications such as container security and security for military equipment, aircraft security, specifically engineered products for commercial and industrial applications, etc. To date, limited proof of concept prototypes have been developed for this planned sector of our business.
MARKETING
Our marketing efforts include sales of products to dealers, distributors, manufacturers and end users. We are also seeking to grant exclusive licenses for particular markets and particular products. We periodically participate in various trade conferences in the security market and safety market where we demonstrate our current and planned products and technology to potential customers. We have historically concentrated marketing efforts on potential customers which we believe are market leaders or otherwise high profile within these markets in an effort to grow the acceptance of our products and technology within targeted markets. Currently, we have targeted the market for safety products for powered parking gates, industrial doors, commercial overhead doors and powered slide and swing gates. Further, we plan to also target the markets for additional powered closure devices and the museum, retail, residential, governmental defense, and security markets for InvisaShield™ security products.
We sell our safety products through dealers and distributors and in some instances directly to larger customers. In 2003, we anticipate potential sales to manufacturers for use of the InvisaShield™ technology as original equipment in various door operators. While our exclusive European distributor, H.S. Jackson & Son (Fencing) Limited currently represents our largest customer, we believe we are not dependent upon any single customer, dealer, or distributor in the safety market, or otherwise.
We are currently seeking to develop channels of distribution for our security products, which we believe, may include direct sales to do-it-yourself customers and sales to and through dealers, distributors and manufacturers. While products in this market category have not contributed to our historic revenue, we believe that our planned security products may ultimately represent a material portion of our business.
THE TECHNOLOGY
General - The InvisaShield™ technology is based upon electronic circuitry, which emits and controls an invisible energy field. The field is based in part upon low energy radiowaves, which oscillate within a controlled frequency range. The field being monitored by our technology varies in size from between approximately one meter to touch sensitive based upon the selected application. The field is constantly monitored by electronic circuitry for the presence of people, vehicles or other objects capable of conducting electricity (conductive objects) that disturb the monitored field.
We believe that the InvisaShield™ technology is a novel and proprietary way to provide presence sensing. At the core of the InvisaShield™ technology is its ability to project a field or zone which is capable of detecting most conductive objects that enter the field. The field is projected from a metallic substance, referred to as an antenna, which may consist of wire, self-adhesive metallic tape or other metallic items. The technology permits flexibility in designing and locating the antenna, which may provide unique opportunities to place presence-sensing fields where they
25
can be more efficient or effective. We believe that this flexibility enables the InvisaShield™ technology to perform presence sensing tasks which may not be currently possible with competitive technologies and to perform presence sensing tasks similar to those performed by competitive technologies in a potentially more efficient, more effective, and more reliable manner.
We believe that the InvisaShield™ technology has a number of operational advantages. InvisaShield™ technology does not depend upon lenses, beams or reflectors, which may require replacement, cleaning and aligning. Additionally, we believe that the presence sensing capability of our technology is generally not disrupted by its operating environment, including electronic noise, mechanical noise, temperature, dust, frost, snow, ice or other operating conditions. We believe that our technology may represent a new presence sensing technology, which allows greater capability, flexibility and benefits. We believe that, in many security applications, the technology may offer the potential to reduce costly false alarms.
Competing Technologies - The presence sensing business is highly competitive, consisting of numerous manufacturers of presence sensing products based on various technologies, including infrared, ultrasonic, laser, microwave, and similar technologies. For the most part, these technologies are older and in many cases, may not be proprietary.
We compete with manufacturers and marketers of various presence sensing and other safety and security technology such as motion detectors, light beams, light curtains, on and off switching mats and pads, tape switches, contact edges, etc. There are many competitors, some of which are large and well established, such as GE Interlogix Inc., Honeywell Inc., Pitway Inc., Ademco Group Inc., Tyco International Inc., Simplex Technologies Inc. and Miller Edge Inc. Many of the competitors have substantially greater financial, development, technical, marketing and sales resources than we have. As a result of these factors, our competitors and potential competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services than we can. We believe that our ability to successfully compete depends, to a large degree, upon the performance of our technology, our current and planned presence sensing products and our ability to finance our development and marketing efforts.
Patents and Trademarks - We own Patent Number 5,337,039 issued by the U.S. Patent Office on August 9, 1994 and we have six additional patent or provisional patent applications filed with the U.S. Patent Office covering a number of inventions improving the InvisaShield™ technology.
We have a trademark on our tradename SmartGate® which we use in our safety products category. We have filed trademark applications for the following: “Invisa”, “InvisaShield”, “The Best Safety Sensing in the World!”, “Invisible Safety Zone”, “Invisible Shield”, “Invisible Field”, “The Best Security Sensing In The World”, “The Best Presence Sensing In The World”, and “Invisible Safety Field”.
We believe that our patent and trademark position will be important in our efforts to seek to protect our perceived competitive advantages.
We have the following royalty obligations: (i) we are obligated to pay to Carl Burnett, the inventor, a royalty of the smaller of $1.00 or 1% of the amount collected from the sale of each finished product in which the technology designed to eliminate or filter electronic or mechanical interference is utilized. In instances where we license this technology independent of our other
26
technology, a royalty of 10% of the licensed fees or royalties received is due. In instances where we license this invention as part of further potential technology other than the InvisaShield™, a royalty of 1% of the licensed fees or royalties received is due. We currently utilize this invention only in our safety products and we do not currently anticipate utilizing this invention in other product categories; (ii) we are obligated to pay a royalty equal to two percent of net profits from the sale of InvisaShield™ safety products for parking gates, sliding gates and overhead doors to an independent engineering consultant, Pete Lefferson. Based on further consulting from Mr. Lefferson, we anticipate that we may extend this royalty obligation to additional products or product categories; and (iii) we are obligated to pay a 7% royalty to affiliated parties with regard to all categories of our business, other than the safety categories. This obligation arose from the consideration to be paid by us in the business combination transaction with Radio Metrix Inc. and is described in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”. This royalty-based payment may be terminated by us at any time for a one-time payment in an amount to be determined by appraisal.
MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING
We believe that the materials required and the sources of such materials will be similar for our various existing and planned product categories. All components and parts are modified or manufactured by third parties to our specifications or are otherwise generally available as “off-the-shelf” materials. Our products have a number of components including proprietary electronic circuitry manufactured by Singletec, Inc., Sanford, Florida, metal housing manufactured by Southern Spring & Stamping, Inc., Venice, Florida, and a standard power supply available in the marketplace. The antenna is standard wire, tape or other metallic materials, which are generally purchased in bulk. Whenever possible, we utilize fixed price manufacturing for our electronic circuitry, placing the responsibility for component supply on the manufacturer. We believe that there are multiple manufacturers and suppliers for each component and that adequate components and materials will be available to support our planned growth. We assemble and perform predetermined quality control procedures in our facility.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The use of radio frequency (“RF”), such as that incorporated into our safety products is regulated by the Federal Communication Commission. Radio Metrix Inc. submitted its patented technology for required FCC testing and on August 19, 1993 Radio Metrix Inc. received FCC Certification. We will endeavor to continue satisfying all requirements of the FCC.
On March 1, 2001, a new safety standard was implemented by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) for the powered gate, door and window industry. This Underwriters Laboratory Rule, UL-325, while not a governmental regulation, is considered an indication of reasonable safety for powered gates, doors and windows, and is a requirement for UL certification for certain powered gate, door and window operators. Gate and operator manufacturers which rely upon UL certification or which consider UL certification important for components will, most likely, require that our products be UL certified before incorporating our products as original equipment. Likewise, the absence of UL certification for our products may represent a sales or marketing barrier in certain market categories and to certain customers. We plan to apply for UL certification for certain of our safety products, which we believe, meet or exceed the current UL 325 standard. From time to
27
time, we anticipate submitting additional products, including safety and security products, for UL certification. Other markets may have governmental or certification requirements.
WARRANTY
Our safety products are sold with a 90-day (upgradeable to one year) limited warranty. A warranty policy for security products is currently being developed.
EMPLOYEES
We have approximately 12 employees, of which one is part time. We had no unions and we had not entered into any collective bargaining agreement with any group of its employees. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees.
HISTORY
Invisa, Inc. (Invisa, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries SmartGate, L.C. and Radio Metrix Inc. is referred to as the “Company” or “Invisa”) is a development stage company that is commercializing patented presence-sensing technology under the tradename InvisaShield™. The Company was incorporated in Nevada on July 9, 1998 to seek to provide computer analysis and solutions in anticipation of potential date-related computer system failures associated with the year 2000. Our original business plan was abandoned before significant commercialization and on February 9, 2000, we acquired SmartGate, L.C., in consideration for the issuance of 7,743,558 shares of our Common stock representing approximately 74% of our capital stock then outstanding. As a result, SmartGate, L.C., is a wholly owned subsidiary which markets our InvisaShield™ safety products under the brand name SmartGate®. It is a development stage company, which was organized in January 1997 to develop and commercialize, pursuant to a license, patented presence-sensing technology for safety applications in the powered closure market. From an accounting perspective, SmartGate, L.C. is considered the acquirer in this transaction and, as a result, the accompanying Financial Statements reflect the operations of SmartGate, L.C. from inception. On February 26, 2002, we acquired Radio Metrix Inc. from affiliated parties. The consideration for this acquisition is discussed in Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. Radio Metrix Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary, which is commercializing our InvisaShield™ security products. Radio Metrix Inc. is a development stage company, which was incorporated in Florida on March 19, 1992. Radio Metrix Inc. owns the patent and patent applications to the InvisaShield™ technology and controlled the InvisaShield™ technology. As a result of this acquisition, we have sole rights to commercialize the InvisaShield™ technology in all markets worldwide and we own the issued patent and pending patent applications to the InvisaShield™ technology.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF INVISA AND THE NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS FILING. STATEMENTS IN THIS MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS THAT ARE NOT STATEMENTS OF
28
HISTORICAL OR CURRENT FACT CONSTITUTES “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.”
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements including information about possible or assumed results of our financial conditions, operations, plans, objectives and performance that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. For example, when we indicate that we expect to increase our product sales and potentially establish additional license relationships, these are forward-looking statements. The words expect, anticipate, estimate or similar expressions are also used to indicate forward-looking statements.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; BACKGROUND OF OUR COMPANY
We are a development-stage company, and we expect to continue the commercialization of our InvisaShield™ technology. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, we had revenue from product sales of $257,118 primarily representing sales of our product for powered parking gates and deferred license revenue in the amount of $300,000 related to potential future sales of our product designed for industrial doors. In addition to limited revenue, these sales have provided field-testing of the reliability and market acceptability of our technology and safety product, together with relationships with customers, dealers, distributors and manufacturers.
The financing for our development activities to date has come from our limited sales, the sale of common stock, short-term financing, and a license payment. We expect to increase our product sales and potentially establish additional license relationships. Further, we expect to complete the development of additional safety and security products and bring them to market.
We expect to fund our future development activities and operations largely from the sale of common stock until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to cover these activities.
Since we have had a limited history of operations, we anticipate that our quarterly results of operations will fluctuate significantly for the foreseeable future. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly companies commercializing new and evolving technologies such as InvisaShield™.
On February 9, 2000 in connection with our acquisition of SmartGate, L.C., we acquired the license for the InvisaShield™ technology for safety products in the powered closure industry. On February 26, 2002 we acquired Radio Metrix Inc., the owner of the InvisaShield™ technology and patents from affiliated parties. This acquisition resulted in our expanding our business to include the development of presence sensing products for security, government and all other markets. At that time, we also changed our name from SmartGate Inc. to Invisa, Inc. (see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As previously mentioned, since inception, we have financed our operations largely from the sale of common stock. From inception through December 31, 2002 we raised cash of $7,023,467 net
29
of issuance costs, through private placements of common stock financings. At December 31, 2002 we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $98,410.
Since our inception through December 31, 2002 we have incurred approximately $2,266,000 of research and development expenses. These research and development costs were directed principally toward our InvisaShield™ technology and safety products. Management estimates that sixty (60%) percent was expended toward the development of our core presence sensing technology, twenty (20%) percent was expended in the miniaturization of our circuitry, fifteen (15%) percent was expended in the design and development of safety products, and five (5%) percent was expended in the design and development of additional products for the security sector of our business.
On February 9, 2000, we purchased SmartGate, L.C. The total purchase price for SmartGate, L.C. was the issuance of 7,743,558 shares of Invisa, Inc. common stock to the SmartGate, L.C. members, which represented approximately 74% of our outstanding common stock at that date (see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”). SmartGate, L.C. was the acquirer for accounting purposes and, as such, our operations reflect the operations of SmartGate, L.C. since its inception.
On February 26, 2002 we acquired Radio Metrix Inc. (the “Merger”), principally from affiliated parties, see Item 12 “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” for a discussion of the transaction. We paid the following purchase price for RadioMetrix: (i) 3,685,000 shares of restricted common stock; (ii) $1,300,000 payable by two promissory notes consisting of: (a) a $500,000 promissory note, payable at 10% interest per annum until August 25, 2003, at which time the interest rate becomes 15%. This promissory note is due in one installment on February 25, 2006; and (b) an $800,000 promissory note payable at 15% interest due monthly, and all principal due in one installment on February 25, 2004. Both promissory notes may be prepaid without penalty. Neither promissory note is collateralized; and (iii) a 7% royalty on all revenue earned from the sale of products based upon the RadioMetrix technology other than safety products which constituted the Company’s core business prior to the Merger. The royalty may be terminated by the Company for a one-time payment based upon appraisal. Additionally, Note B to the financial statements details obligations of RadioMetrix, including approximately $175,000 in accrued compensation payable to stockholders of RadioMetrix that remained in place and was assumed by the Company at the acquisition of RadioMetrix. We believe the acquisition of RadioMetrix will affect our results of operations in a number of respects including: (i) the potential business opportunity represented by the assets acquired from RadioMetrix may result in additional sales revenue in future periods; (ii) the 7% royalty required to be paid will affect our results of operations as an expense; (iii) research and development expenses which may be incurred in connection with the RadioMetrix technology will affect our results of operations; (iv) we will recognize as an expense, the amortization of the patent included in the purchase over an approximately ten-year period (see Note B to our financial statements); and (v) we will comply with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and accordingly, in the event of an impairment in the value of the assets acquired from RadioMetrix, we would recognize an expense.
At December 31, 2002, we had a $150,000 bank line of credit, which was personally guaranteed by a shareholder, Mr. H.R. Williams (see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”). The line of credit required the payment of interest monthly at prime plus 1%, which was 5.75%
30
on December 31, 2002. The line of credit was renewed on July 15, 2002 and matures on July 15, 2003. The current interest rate is prime plus 1%, which, at July 15, 2002, was 5.75%.
On October 28, 2002, we borrowed $200,000 from a non-affiliated party. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum, payable in advance. We issued a four-year Warrant, together with registration rights commencing after June 28, 2004 to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. We pledged 500,000 shares of our common stock as collateral for the loan, which will be returned to the Company upon loan repayment or delivered to the lender as full loan repayment in the event of default. Pursuant to the terms of the loan, the date for repayment of all principal and interest was extended from February 28, 2003 to April 28, 2003, and in connection with said extension, we issued the lender on February 28, 2003, a four-year option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, with registration rights as described above. We borrowed an additional $100,000 from the non-affiliated party in April 2003. The terms of this additional advance are currently being negotiated, but are believed to be substantially similar to those of the original $200,000 borrowing. Additionally, the parties are negotiating an extension to the due date of the entire amount borrowed.
In April 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Alan Feldman, a non-affiliated party. Under this Agreement, Mr. Feldman purchased 50,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock at $3.00 per share. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell additional shares under the Agreement up to a maximum of an additional $1,050,000 with such sales in monthly increments at a purchase price equal to 50% of the then current market price for the Company’s common stock, but not less than $3.00 per share.
In May 2003, the Company entered into the agreement with BarBell Group, Inc., pursuant to which the Company borrowed $250,000 (see Equity Line of Credit). The Company is filing this Registration Statement in connection with this agreement. The borrowing may be converted into common stock at a 25% discount from the then prevailing market price. The Company has the right but not the obligation to sell additional registered shares under the Agreement at a 25% discount from the then prevailing market price to a maximum of an additional $750,000. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.76 per share, of which 25,000 shares are vested and the balance will vest only in the event the Company exercises its right to sell additional shares of registered stock under the Agreement. The Company issued an aggregate of 6,000 shares to Crescent Fund, Inc. and Capstone Partners, LP, which served as co-finders in the transaction.
We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of March 31, 2003 we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,780,285 and a working capital deficit of $1,952,666.
We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products, will increase significantly in the future.
In November 2002, we filed a listing application with the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”). We presently do not meet all of the AMEX listing criteria, including the AMEX’ financial listing criteria. To facilitate the proposed AMEX listing application and to provide additional growth and operating capital, the Company anticipates seeking approximately $3,000,000 in private equity which, if completed, could result in the issuance of shares of Common or Preferred Stock.
31
The Company will be dependent upon our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated net proceeds from private placements of common stock and potential license fees, and sales of our products to finance our planned operations through at least the next 12 months. Accordingly, we plan to access additional cash from a variety of potential sources, which may include: public equity financing, private equity financing, license fees, grants, and public or private debt. The Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants included elsewhere in this Registration Statement includes a going concern modification.
Additional capital may not be available when required or on favorable terms. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to significantly reduce or refocus our operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to our existing stockholders.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 141,Business Combinations,and SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for the year beginning January 1, 2002; however certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001, and the effective date of SFAS 142. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The provisions of the statement are effective for the year beginning January 1, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement requires entities to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when liabilities are incurred rather than when the entity commits to an exit or disposal plan, as currently required. Examples of costs covered by this guidance include one-time employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts other than capital leases, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain other exit or disposal activities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002, and will impact any exit or disposal activities the Company initiates after that date.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 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 Statement 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 transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with earlier application permitted in certain circumstances. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company does not currently expect to adopt the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement addresses the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be accounted for as equity. SFAS 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the statement of financial position. In addition, SFAS 150 also requires disclosures about alternative ways of settling the instruments and the capital structure of certain entities. Most of the guidance in SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management has not fully evaluated the effect of adopting this standard.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45,Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for Guarantors, including Indirect Guarantors of Indebtedness to Others(FIN 45). FIN 45 creates new disclosure and liability recognition requirements for certain guarantees, including obligations to stand ready to perform. The initial recognition and measurement requirements of FIN 45 are effective prospectively for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2002. There were no such guarantees entered into by the Company through March 31, 2003.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
Net Sales and Gross Profit - During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, net sales totaled $167,111 and $257,118 respectively. The increase was due to the increase in sales of safety products for powered parking gates. The Company’s sales to date have been limited. We had a gross profit of $74,345 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $81,218 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Research and Development Expenses – During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, research and development expenses totaled $452,482 and $660,844, respectively. The increase of
32
$208,362 was due principally to new product applications. Two additional technicians were hired and the salary increased for an engineer manager resulting in increases in salaries and wages and payroll taxes; rent expense increased also as a result of adding facility space.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $2,315,055 and $2,813,897, respectively. The increase of $498,842 was attributable principally to the following categories: increases were due to patent amortization as a result of the patent acquisition at the end of February 2002; advertising and marketing in connection with demonstrating products at six tradeshows and hiring an outside advertising agency; salaries and wages and payroll taxes related to the addition of two officers, executive assistant, sales staff and other staff promotions; insurance expense, and expanded office space and other expenses. Decreases were due to a lower level of officer bonuses and related payroll taxes; and professional consulting fees.
Interest Expense - Net - During the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002 net interest expense totaled $9,708 and $187,663 respectively. The increase was due principally to additional interest expense in connection with the RMI acquisition notes payable and the borrowings incurred in October 2002.
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003
Net Sales and Gross Profit - During the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, net sales totaled $71,160 and $43,405 respectively. The decrease was due to the decrease in sales of safety products for powered parking gates. The Company’s sales to date have been limited. We had a gross profit of $25,406 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $16,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Research and Development Expenses – During the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, research and development expenses totaled $196,980 and $110,299, respectively. The decrease of $86,681 was due principally to the reduction in materials purchased. Salary/wages and payroll taxes decreased due to employee layoffs, all offset by increased facility costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – During the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $524,768 and $607,921, respectively. The increase of $83,153 was attributable principally to the following categories: Increases were due to patent amortization as a result of the patent acquisition at the end of February 2002; expanded office space and related expenses, and regulatory compliance reporting costs; advertising and marketing costs in connection with demonstrating products at a tradeshow; insurance expense attributable principally to Directors and Officers coverage; officer’s salary rate increase and depreciation expense as a result of furniture and equipment additions. Decreases were due to wages and related payroll taxes as a result of employee layoffs; reductions in advertising and marketing; and reductions in professional consulting fees.
Interest Expense - Net - During the three months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003 net interest expense totaled $10,873 and $114,499 respectively. The increase was due principally to additional interest expense in connection with the RMI acquisition notes payable and the borrowings incurred in October 2002.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Patents and Trademarks - The recorded cost of the patent is based on the fair value of consideration paid for it. The ultimate consideration was originally based on a valuation performed by a third party and approved by those Board Members with no affiliation with the seller. The patent costs are amortized over the remaining life of the patent at the date of its acquisition. The fair value of the patent is reviewed for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its recorded value may not be recoverable. No impairment has been recognized through March 31, 2003.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We lease approximately 28,000 square feet of manufacturing, marketing, development and office space in two buildings located in Northgate Business Park, Sarasota, Florida. We believe that our leased facilities are adequate and suitable for the implementation of our business plan. No zoning or other governmental requirements are required for the continued use of our facilities. One of the leases expires in March 2004, and the other lease expires in June 2004. The annual lease payments for the Company’s facilities aggregate $200,400 plus taxes, which we believe to approximate the local market rate for such facilities. The facilities are leased from non-affiliated parties. Each of the leases provides an option to purchase the building; however, we have no current plans to execute these options. With the exception of the potential exercise of the options contained in the leases, we have adopted a policy pursuant to which we do not invest in real estate, interest in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities issued based upon real estate activities. We maintain lease insurance that we believe is adequate.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to a Merger, on February 26, 2002, we acquired Radio Metrix Inc., a Florida corporation (“RadioMetrix”). RadioMetrix was formed in 1992 by certain individuals who founded SmartGate, L.C. RadioMetrix became the exclusive worldwide licensee of the InvisaShield™ technology in 1992. It began research and development efforts following obtaining the exclusive worldwide license and in 1997, granted a sublicense limited to powered closure applications to SmartGate, L.C. The assets of RadioMetrix were acquired more than two years before its acquisition by Invisa, with the exception of a patent. The patent was purchased by RadioMetrix on January 8, 2002 pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated October 9, 2000. The purchase price paid by RadioMetrix for the patent was $1,200,000 of which $50,000 was paid by RadioMetrix as a deposit against the purchase price. The RadioMetrix agreement to purchase the patent required a closing, with payment, by January 8, 2002, which was before the closing of the planned acquisition of RadioMetrix by Invisa. Accordingly, as part of its acquisition of RadioMetrix, Invisa loaned approximately $550,000 to RadioMetrix to enable RadioMetrix to timely close its purchase of the patent by paying the remaining $550,000 due at closing. In acquiring RadioMetrix, Invisa acquired ownership of the patent and the $550,000 loan to RadioMetrix became an intercompany debt. The purchase price paid by the Company for RadioMetrix is discussed later in this section. Reference is made to Note B to the financial statements for additional information regarding the Company’s $550,000 loan to RadioMetrix.
Pursuant to this acquisition, RadioMetrix was merged into a subsidiary, which we incorporated specifically for this transaction. Because each of the RadioMetrix shareholders had pre-existing relationships with us, the transaction was approved by the Board Members having no affiliation,
34
stock ownership or other relationship with RadioMetrix (“Independent Committee of Directors”). The Independent Committee of Directors was represented by legal counsel. Additionally, it received advice as to the financial fairness of the transaction from a national firm experienced in financial valuation and consulting. The relationships of our officers, directors or substantial shareholders with RadioMetrix at the date of the acquisition were:

(2).Mr. Dolan is the Trustee of the family trusts created for Mr. Duffey’s adult children.
At the closing of Invisa’s purchase of RadioMetrix, the patent was subject to a previous pledge as collateral for a twenty-four (24) month Promissory Note in the principal amount of $600,000, which was made by RadioMetrix when it purchased the patent. The party that sold the patent to RadioMetrix was not affiliated with either the RadioMetrix shareholders or Invisa™. As a further result of the acquisition of RadioMetrix, the Company eliminated its obligation to pay ongoing royalty fees in connection with its sale of powered closure safety products based upon the InvisaShield™ technology while expanding its access to all presence sensing market categories outside of safety, including access to the security market and other markets (“Technology Purchase from RadioMetrix”).
The aggregate consideration paid for the purchase of RadioMetrix through the date hereof, is: (i) 3,685,000 shares of restricted common stock; (ii) $1,300,000 (plus accrued and unpaid interest) payable by two promissory notes consisting of: (a) a $500,000 promissory note, payable at 10% interest per annum until August 25, 2003, at which time the interest rate becomes 15%. This promissory note is due in one installment on February 25, 2006; and (b) an $800,000 promissory note payable at 15% interest due monthly, and all principal due in one installment on February 25, 2004. Both promissory notes may be prepaid without penalty. Neither promissory note is collateralized; and (iii) a 7% royalty on all revenue earned from the sale of products based upon the RadioMetrix technology other than safety products which constituted the Company’s core business prior to the Merger. The royalty may be terminated by the Company for a one-time payment based upon appraisal. Additionally, Note B to the financial statements details obligations of RadioMetrix, including approximately $175,000 in accrued compensation payable
35
to stockholders of RadioMetrix that remained in place and was assumed by the Company at the acquisition of RadioMetrix. As a result of an Amendment to the RadioMetrix Merger Agreement, no earn-out or other consideration will be paid by the Company except as described above.
On February 9, 2000 we purchased SmartGate, L.C. principally from the same group of related parties that previously owned RadioMetrix. As a result, on February 9, 2000, we issued 7,743,558 shares of Invisa™ common stock to the SmartGate, L.C. members which represented approximately 74% of our outstanding capital stock at that date. As a result of this transaction, we agreed to subsequently make loans to certain of the SmartGate, L.C. members should same be required to fund IRS recapture tax obligations imposed as a result of this transaction. As a result of this obligation, in October 2001, we loaned approximately $74,384 to Mr. Michael, and approximately $71,810 to Mr. Duffey, pursuant to unsecured five-year Promissory Notes.
Pursuant to an agreement made in 1992 between RadioMetrix and an individual who introduced RadioMetrix to the inventors of the InvisaShield™ technology, RadioMetrix was obligated to pay up to $200,000 contingent upon sales. Under the Agreement, the obligation terminates when RadioMetrix has paid an aggregate of $200,000. The obligation arose out of an introduction to the inventors of the RadioMetrix Technology and the anticipation of future assistance to be provided by the finder in connection with the commercialization of the technology. In 1999, as a result of the unavailability of the finder, and the lack of any ongoing support from the finder, RadioMetrix asserted breach of the Agreement and provided notice of termination. The termination has not been contested, and the Company has had no contact with the finder following such termination.
We have the following royalty obligations:
(i) We are obligated to pay to Carl Burnett, the inventor, a royalty of the smaller of $1.00 or 1% of the amount collected from the sale of each finished product in which the technology designed to eliminate or filter electronic interference is utilized. In instances where we license this technology independent of our other technology, a royalty of 10% of the licensed fees or royalties received is due. In instances where we license this invention as part of further potential technology other than the InvisaShield™, a royalty of 1% of the licensed fees or royalties received is due. We currently utilize this invention only in our safety products and we do not currently anticipate utilizing this invention in other product categories;
(ii) We are obligated to pay a royalty equal to two percent of net profits from the sale of InvisaShield™ safety products for parking gates, sliding gates and overhead doors to an independent engineering consultant, Pete Lefferson. Based on further consulting from Mr. Lefferson, we anticipate that we may extend this royalty obligation to additional products or product categories.; and
(iii) We are obligated to pay a royalty equal to 7% of revenue to affiliated parties with regard to all categories of our business, other than the safety category. This obligation arose from the consideration to be paid by us in the business combination transaction with Radio Metrix Inc. which has been previously discussed above in this. This royalty-based payment may be terminated by us at any time for a one-time payment in an amount to be determined by appraisal.
36
The following officers or directors entered into loan transactions associated with the purchase of common stock with SmartGate, L.C. before it was acquired by us and became a wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of these pre-acquisition transactions, we have the following notes receivable: Stephen A. Michael - $375,000, Samuel S. Duffey - $375,000 and Edmund C. King - $210,000.
One of the Company’s principal shareholders is H.R. Williams (“Mr. Williams”) and his family limited partnership, the H.R. Williams Family Limited Partnership (“HRW Partnership”). The Company’s transactions with Mr. Williams or the HRW Partnership are summarized below:
1. | | In March 1999, Mr. Williams subscribed for 446,804 shares of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SmartGate, L.C. As part of the subscription, Mr. Williams: (a) paid $59,523 in cash; (b) agreed to loan the Company $25,000 pursuant to a Promissory Note with interest at prime (“the $25,000 Note”); (c) agreed to sublease SmartGate, L.C. space to conduct its operations in a building leased by the HRW Partnership; and (d) agreed to guarantee a line of credit for SmartGate, L.C. at the Regions Bank in Bradenton, Florida in the amount of $150,000 (“Credit Facility”). As part of the Subscription Agreement, SmartGate, L.C. granted the HRW Partnership (see Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management) an option to purchase 446,804 shares at a purchase price of $1.07 per share. The Option will remain exercisable until the last to occur of: (i) 245 days following either the Company’s payoff of a Credit Facility guaranteed by H.R. Williams; (ii) the date Mr. Williams’ guarantee of the Credit Facility is released; or (iii) one year following the date when certain shares owned by Mr. Williams or HRW Partnership are free of transfer restrictions. |
|
2. | | In May 2001, the Company issued 164,799 shares of its common stock to the HRW Partnership as its landlord. Pursuant to the Sublease Agreement entered into between SmartGate, L.C. and the HRW Partnership as landlord in March 1999, SmartGate, L.C. was granted the right to pay its rent to the HRW Partnership as landlord, either in cash or in stock, and if paid in stock, it would be paid at the rate of one share for each $0.50 of rent owed. For the period from the inception of the Lease in March 1999 through August 2000, the Company elected to pay the approximate 19 months of rent with stock resulting in this issuance of 164,799 shares to the HRW Partnership as landlord. This Agreement has terminated. |
|
3. | | In March 2002, the Company repaid the $25,000 Note in full. |
|
4. | | In October 2002, Mr. Williams agreed to guarantee an additional $150,000 of credit in addition to the $150,000 currently outstanding. We agreed to issue 5,000 shares to HRW Partnership in consideration for this additional guarantee. We further agreed that, to the extent we borrow any funds under the extended guarantee (i.e. - in excess of the original $150,000 line of credit) we will grant to HRW Partnership an option to purchase, at $2.50 per share, one share of our common stock for each dollar borrowed. To date, no such additional credit facility has been established and the referenced shares and additional options have not been issued under this arrangement, and we do not anticipate that such credit facility will be established in the future or such additional shares issued or options ultimately granted. |
In 2001, the Company made a demand loan of $3,500 to significant employee, Carl Parks, for a personal matter. The loan is shown as an “interest free” note receivable on the Company’s books.
In 2002, a stock option entitling G.M. Capital Partners, Ltd., a consultant in international investor relations (see - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management -
37
Other Advisors), to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.50 per share, with certain registration rights attached, was issued in prepayment of the consulting fee for the year. The agreed value of the stock option and the consulting services was established at $120,000. The stock option is considered fully vested and will be exercisable until December 31, 2005. Provided that the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the stock option have not been covered by a previous Registration Statement, the holder may, commencing on January 1, 2004 demand that the Company file and exercise reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement covering 250,000 shares. Additionally, provided that all 500,000 shares which may be purchased under the stock option have not been covered by a previous Registration Statement, commencing on July 1, 2005 the holder may demand that the Company file and exercise reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement covering the remaining 250,000 shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the stock option. Both Registration Statements shall be at the cost of the Company. In April 2003, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its authorized but unissued common stock to GM Capital Partners, Ltd. in recognition of its support in the Company’s past and current access to capital and matters related thereto.
Stephen A. Michael, Samuel S. Duffey and Robert T. Roth may be considered founders or promoters of SmartGate, L.C. The consideration paid to these individuals is discussed elsewhere herein. Bob Knight and G.M. Capital Partners, Ltd. may be considered founders or promoters of the Company. Discussion of the consideration received by them is discussed elsewhere in this document.

We believe that there are presently 11 market makers for our common stock. When stock is traded in the public market, characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness of the market may depend upon the existence of market makers as well as the presence of willing buyers and sellers. We do not know if these or other market makers will continue to make a market in our common stock. Further, the trading volume in our common stock has historically been both sporadic and light.
As of June 4, 2003, we had an aggregate of 410 shareholders of record as reported by our transfer agent, Liberty Transfer Co. Certain shares are held in the “street” names of securities broker dealers and we do not know the number of shareholders which may be represented by such securities broker dealer accounts.

(1) This total includes shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options under two equity compensation plans that have been approved by the Company’s shareholders (i.e. - the 2000 Plan and the 2002 Plan) as described below. This total does not include shares to be issued and those which may be issued under the Company’s 2003 Plan.
2000 EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR, CONSULTANT AND ADVISOR STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
In July 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2000 Employee, Director, Consultant and Advisor Stock Compensation Plan (“2000 Plan”) which provided for the granting of options to purchase the Company’s common stock to employees, directors, consultants and advisors who had rendered or were rendering or expected to continue to render services to the Company. The 2000 Plan was ratified by the Company’s shareholders on January 3, 2003. Pursuant to the 2000 Plan and the option agreements issued thereunder, the exercise price was the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the ten-day period prior to the option grant date. All of the options granted under the 2000 Plan are exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of grant. The 2000 Plan provided for a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued.
In 2000, 1,080,000 options were issued under the 2000 Plan, ranging in price from $3.00 to $4.96 per share; of these 9,998 were cancelled. In 2001, 120,000 options under the 2000 Plan were issued ranging in price from $4.27 to $5.32. All of the options granted under the 2000 Plan are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in each individual option agreement. In the case of 880,000 of the options issued under the 2000 Plan, one-third of the shares vested on the grant

date; another one-third of the shares vested one year from the grant date; and the final one-third of the shares vested (or will vest) two years from the grant date, provided the holder remained (or remains) an officer, director, consultant or employee of the Company on the vesting dates. In the case of 320,000 of the options issued under the 2000 Plan, one-third of the shares vested one year from the grant date; another one-third of the shares vested two years from the grant date; and the final one-third of the shares vest three years from the grant date, provided the holder remains an officer, director, consultant or employee of the Company on the vesting dates.
The total number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to options granted under the 2000 Plan is 1,200,000 shares (this includes 10,000 additional shares which may be issued to a consultant if certain performance conditions are met), of which all are vested except for 153,333 which are not yet vested. There will be no additional options granted under this 2000 Plan.
2002 INCENTIVE PLAN
On January 22, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”). The 2002 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on January 3, 2003. Under the 2002 Plan, the Company reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock to eligible current and prospective employees, consultants and directors. The options granted were subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in each individual option agreement. Pursuant to the 2002 Plan and the option agreements, the exercise price was the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The 2002 Plan provided for both qualified and non-qualified options.
On January 22, 2002, pursuant to the 2002 Plan, the Company issued 1,010,000 options to its officers, directors and employees, of these, 30,000 were cancelled. Both qualified and non-qualified options were issued on January 22, 2002. The exercise prices of the options issued on January 22, 2002 were $3.85 and $3.50. All of the options issued on January 22, 2002 are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant; provided however, the shares which may be purchased are subject to vesting as follows: one-third of the shares vest on the first anniversary of the grant date; another one-third of the shares vests on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the final one-third of the shares vests on the third anniversary of the grant date.
On June 13, 2002, an Option under the 2002 Plan to purchase 100,000 shares was granted to a then new Company Director, Gregory J. Newell at an exercise price of $5.10 per share (see Executive Compensation). This Option has a term of seven years, and beginning September 30, 2002, vests quarterly over a period of 20 quarters with 5,000 shares vesting at the end of each quarter, and, in the event Mr. Newell terminates his service to the Company after June 13, 2005 for the primary purpose of returning to full-time government service, the balance of the option will continue to vest as provided in the Option Agreement.
On June 27, 2002, a then new Company Director, John E. Scates was granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares at $5.15 per share (see Executive Compensation). This Option has a term of seven years, and beginning September 30, 2002, vests quarterly over a period of 8 quarters with 2,500 shares vesting at the end of each quarter.
The total number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to options granted under the 2002 Plan (as set forth above) is 1,100,000 shares, of which 349,164 are vested and 750,836 are not vested. There will be no additional options granted under the 2002 Plan.
40
2003 INCENTIVE PLAN
Not included in the table, is the Company’s 2003 Incentive Plan (“2003 Plan”) which was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 2, 2003, and approved by the Company’s shareholders on January 3, 2003. Under the 2003 Plan, the Company has reserved 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to eligible current and prospective employees, consultants and directors. The 2003 Plan provides for both qualified and non-qualified options. It is anticipated that options which may be granted under the 2003 Plan will be subject to vesting schedules. The exercise price of options granted under the 2003 Plan will be the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The 2003 Plan shall continue until the earlier of: (i) its termination by the Company’s Board of Directors; or (ii) the date on which all shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2003 Plan have been issued and all restrictions on such shares under the terms of the 2003 Plan and the option agreements have lapsed; or (iii) ten years from the 2003 Plan’s adoption date.
In May 2003, an Option under the 2003 Plan (not included in the table) to purchase 80,000 shares was granted to new Company Director, Joseph Movizzo, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (see Executive Compensation). This Option has a term of seven years, and beginning June 30, 2003, vests quarterly over a period of 16 quarters with 5,000 shares vesting at the end of each quarter.
INDIVIDUAL COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
(2) This total includes shares to be issued under individual compensation arrangements not submitted for approval by the Company’s shareholders. These individual arrangements have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, and are described below:
In March 1999, SmartGate, L.C. granted the H.R. Williams Family Limited Partnership (“HRW Partnership”), a shareholder of the Company (see. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management) and (. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions) an option to purchase 446,804 shares at a purchase price of $1.07 per share. This Option is fully vested. The Option will remain exercisable until the last to occur of: (i) 245 days following either the Company’s payoff of a Credit Facility guaranteed by H.R. Williams; (ii) the date Mr. Williams’ guarantee of the Credit Facility is released; or (iii) one year following the date when certain shares owned by Mr. William or HRW Partnership are free of transfer restrictions.
In December 1999, William Hyde, a financial consultant, was granted an option from SmartGate, L.C. for providing consulting services related to banking relationships and business development. The Option was for the purchase of 14,074 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.07 per share. The Option was exercised in December 2002 for the purchase of 12,198 shares. The Option terminated on December 31, 2002, and accordingly, the option shares are not reflected in the numbers under (a) in the table.
In January 2002, Hawk Associates, Inc., the Company’s domestic investor relations’ representative was granted an option to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $7.25 per share. The Option is exercisable for a period of seven years, and is subject to a vesting schedule over the initial 24-month period where 6,250 shares are released and become eligible for purchase at the end of each quarterly period during the 24-month vesting term, provided the Engagement Agreement between the Company and Hawk Associates, Inc. has remained in effect at the end of the quarterly period then in effect.
41
Pursuant to international investor relations consultant arrangement, G.M. Capital Partners, Ltd. was granted stock options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.50 per share, with certain registration rights attached, in prepayment of the consulting fee for the year. The agreed value of the stock option and the consulting services was established at $120,000. The stock option is considered fully vested and will be exercisable until December 31, 2005. Provided that the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the stock option have not been covered by a previous Registration Statement, the holder may, commencing on January 1, 2004 demand that the Company file and exercise reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement covering 250,000 shares. Additionally, provided that all 500,000 shares which may be purchased under the stock option have not been covered by a previous Registration Statement, commencing on July 1, 2005 the holder may demand that the Company file and exercise reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement covering the remaining 250,000 shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the stock option. Both Registration Statements shall be at the cost of the Company.
In connection with the Company’s private placement of 83,750 Units in July 2002 (see Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities), the placement agents were granted placement warrants to purchase an amount of shares equal to 10% (i.e. - 8,375 warrants) of the Units placed. The per-share exercise price of shares which may be purchased under the placement warrant shall be $5.50. The placement warrant shall have a term of 60 months and shall not be exercisable during the initial 13 months following issuance. Following the 13-month non-exercisable period, holders, acting in unison, shall have the right on one occasion to demand that the Company file and exercise reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement covering the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the placement warrant. Such right to demand registration shall terminate once the Company files a Registration Statement for registration of the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the placement warrant. Additionally, following the 13-month non-exercisable period, the holders, acting in unison, shall have the right on one occasion to have the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the warrants included in any other Registration Statement filed by the Company provided that the inclusion of such shares does not adversely affect the registration purpose or statement and provided that the shares have not previously been registered by the Company.
In October 2002, Mr. H. R. Williams, one of the Company’s principal shareholders, (see Item 11. “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”) agreed to guarantee an additional $150,000 of credit in addition to the $150,000 currently outstanding. We agreed to issue 5,000 shares to H. R. Williams Family Limited Partnership (“HRW Partnership”) in consideration for this additional guarantee. We further agreed that, to the extent we borrow any funds under the extended guarantee (i.e. - in excess of the original $150,000 line of credit we will grant to HRW Partnership an option to purchase, at $2.50 per share, one share of our common stock for each dollar borrowed. To date, no such additional credit facility has been established and the referenced shares and additional options have not been issued under this arrangement, and we do not anticipate that such credit facility will be established in the future or such additional shares issued or options ultimately granted, and accordingly, this option is not reflected in the numbers under (a) in the table above.
42
On October 28, 2002, we borrowed $200,000 from a non-affiliated party. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum, payable in advance. We issued a four-year Warrant, together with registration rights commencing after June 28, 2004 to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise of $1.00 per share. We pledged 500,000 shares of our common stock as collateral for the loan, which will be returned to the Company upon loan repayment or delivered to the lender as full loan repayment in the event of default. Pursuant to the terms of the loan, the date for repayment of all principal and interest was extended from February 28, 2003 to April 28, 2003, and in connection with said extension, we issued the lender, on February 28, 2003, a thirty-eight month option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, with registration rights as described above. We borrowed an additional $100,000 from the non-affiliated party in 2003. The terms of this additional advance are currently being negotiated, but are believed to be substantially similar to those of the original $200,000 borrowing (additional options, if any, that may be issued, are not included in the table). Additionally, the parties are negotiating an extension to the due date of the entire amount borrowed.
In May 2003, the Company entered into the agreement with BarBell, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $250,000 (see Equity Line of Credit). The Company is filing this Registration Statement in connection with the Agreement. The borrowing may be converted into common stock at a 25% discount from the then prevailing market price. The Company has the right but not the obligation to sell additional registered shares under the Agreement under the same pricing schedule. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.76 per share, of which 25,000 shares are vested and the balance will vest only in the event the Company exercises its right to sell additional shares of stock to BarBell under the Agreement (this option is not included in the table). The Company issued an aggregate of 6,000 shares to Crescent Fund, Inc. and Capstone Partners, LP, which served as co-finders in the transaction. These options are not included in the table.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
From October 1, 1999 through February 13, 2003, we sold the following unregistered securities:
From approximately October 1999 through January 2000 the Company sold 295,000 shares of its common stock. There were no underwriters involved in the sale. The shares were sold to 18 purchasers consisting of 13 U.S. investors believed to be accredited, and five suitable and sophisticated non-U.S. residents. The shares were sold for cash at $1.00 per share at an aggregate offering price of $295,000. Aggregate finder’s fees of approximately $29,500 were paid with offering expenses of approximately $20,000. The Company conducted the offering pursuant to an exemption from registration for limited offerings (not exceeding $1,000,000) provided by Rule 504 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Act”).
In December 1999, before its acquisition by the Company, SmartGate, L.C. granted 985,000 common stock options to certain employees and officers. The exercise price was at $1.00 per share. All of the options were exercised with notes. All of the notes (except for one which is due to be repaid in December 2007) are due to be repaid in December 2004. The options were issued pursuant to 701 of the Act.
In December 1999, William Hyde, a financial consultant, was granted an option from SmartGate, L.C. for providing consulting services related to banking relationships and business development. The Option is for the purchase of 14,074 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.07 per share. The Option was exercised in December 2002.

The Company conducted the offering pursuant to an exemption from registration for limited offerings provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Act.
52
Also in February 2000, the Company issued a total of 7,743,558 shares of its common stock as part of the closing of a Contribution Agreement (“Agreement”) between the Company and the 16 members of SmartGate, L.C., a Florida limited liability company. The transaction was a “tax free” contribution of property under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, pursuant to which, as a single consolidated transaction, the Company exchanged the 7,743,558 shares for 100% of the outstanding stock of SmartGate, L.C. As the issuance of the shares to the 16 SmartGate, L.C. members pursuant to the Agreement represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares were issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act. As a result of the transaction, the Company acquired SmartGate, L.C. which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
From approximately May 2000 through April 2001, the Company sold 337,000 shares of its common stock. Sales were limited to non-US investors and there were no underwriters involved in the sale. The shares were sold to 15 purchasers who are suitable or sophisticated non-U.S. residents. The shares were sold for cash at $3.00 per share at an aggregate offering price of $1,011,000. Aggregate finder’s fees were paid of approximately $101,100 (with aggregate offering expenses of approximately $40,000). The Company conducted the offering pursuant to an exemption from registration for limited offerings (not exceeding $5,000,000) provided by Rule 505 of Regulation D under the Act.
In July 2000, the Company, pursuant to its 2000 Employee, Director, Consultant, and Advisor Stock Compensation Plan (the “2000 Plan”), granted options to purchase a total of 1,062,500 shares to a total of 14 persons consisting of officers, directors, consultants or employees at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. 10,000 of these options are contingent, and 8,332 were cancelled.

In December 2000, the Company, pursuant to its 2000 Plan, issued options to three employees to purchase an aggregate of 27,500 shares at an exercise price of $4.96 per share. 1,666 of these options were cancelled. These options were issued pursuant to Rule 701 of the Act.
In May 2001, the Company, pursuant to its 2000 Plan, issued an option to an Advisory Board Member/Consultant to purchase 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.27 per share. This option was issued pursuant to Rule 701 of the Act.
In May 2001, the Company issued 164,799 shares of its common stock to its prior landlord, (Company shareholder, H.R. Williams Family Limited Partnership [“Landlord"]). Pursuant to the Sublease Agreement entered into between SmartGate, L.C. and the Landlord in March 1999, SmartGate, L.C. was granted the right to pay its rent to the Landlord either in cash or in stock, and if paid in stock, it would be paid at the rate of one share for each $0.50 of rent owed. For the period from the inception of the Lease in March 1999 through August 2000, the Company elected to pay the approximate 19 months of rent with stock resulting in this issuance of 164,799 shares to the Landlord. As the issuance of the shares to the Landlord pursuant to the Sublease Agreement represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares were issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act.

The Option is exercisable for a period of seven years, and is subject to a vesting schedule over the initial 24-month period where 6,250 shares are released and become eligible for purchase at the end of each quarterly period during the 24-month vesting term, provided the Engagement Agreement between the Company and Hawk Associates, Inc. has remained in effect at the end of the quarterly period then in effect.

(“Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger, additional shares were required to be issued upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria (the “Earn-Out Shares”). All potential Earn-Out Shares were issued in April 2003, resulting in an additional 3,250,000 shares being issued under the Merger. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance. As the issuance of the shares to the five RadioMetrix shareholders, pursuant to the Merger represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares were issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act (see “Certain Relations and Related Transactions”).
In May 2002 pursuant to an international investor relations consultant arrangement with G.M. Capital Partners, Ltd., the Company issued a stock option to G.M. Capital Partners, Ltd., which was amended and restated in November 2002 for the purchase of 500,000 shares at $3.50 per share. The stock option is fully vested and exercisable until December 31, 2005. Provided that the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the stock option have not been covered by a previous Registration Statement, the holder may, commencing on January 1, 2004 demand that the Company file and exercise reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement covering 250,000 shares. Additionally, provided that all 500,000 shares which may be purchased under the stock option have not been covered by a previous Registration Statement, commencing on July 1, 2005 the holder may demand that the Company file and exercise reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement covering the remaining 250,000 shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the stock option. Both Registration Statements shall be at the cost of the Company. This Option was issued pursuant to Rule 701 of the Act. In April 2003, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its authorized but unissued common stock to GM Capital Partners, Ltd. in recognition of its support in the Company’s past and current access to capital and matters related thereto. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance. As the issuance represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares were issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act.
In June 2002, the Company, pursuant to its 2002 Plan, issued an option to purchase 100,000 shares to Gregory Newell, a director of the Company. The exercise price is $5.10 per share. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance. This option was issued pursuant to Rule 701 of the Act.

From July 2002 through the date hereof, the Company sold 83,750 Units at $4.00 per Unit, each Unit consists of one of the Company’s common stock and one Warrant to purchase one additional share. The exercise price of each Warrant is $5.00 per share until August 15, 2003 (the “Initial Warrant Year”). From August 16, 2003 to August 15, 2004 (the “Second Warrant Year”) the exercise price is the greater of: (i) the average closing trading price for the Company’s
55
common stock during the Initial Warrant Year, or (ii) $8.00 per share. The Warrants are redeemable at the option of the Company at $0.10 per share upon 30 days notice to the holder. In order for the Company to exercise its right to redeem: during the Initial Warrant Year the Company’s common stock must have traded for 20 consecutive trading days at a closing trading price above $10.00 per share, or during the Second Warrant Year the Company’s common stock must have traded for 20 consecutive trading days at a closing trading price above $16.00 per share. Any Warrants not timely exercised or redeemed automatically expire on August 15, 2004.
Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Warrant will not be registered with the SEC, unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and accordingly, will bear a restrictive legend as to transfer in accordance with Rule 144 of the Act. In the event of a stock dividend or stock split resulting in the number of outstanding of shares of the Company being changed, the applicable exercise price and number of shares, as provided in the Warrants, shall be proportionately adjusted. In the event of the merger, consolidation, or combination of the Company into another company or entity which survives that transaction, the shares which may be purchased under the Warrants shall be converted into an equivalent number of shares of the surviving entity. In the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be treated in any distribution as if said shares are issued and outstanding, with the exception that the exercise price under the Warrants shall be deducted from the amount to be distributed on a per-share basis. The holders of Warrants shall not be entitled to vote or exercise other rights of stockholders unless and until the Warrants are exercised and the underlying shares issued. In the event of redemption by the Company, each holder shall be provided 30 days prior written notice of the Company’s intent to redeem, during which notice period the holder of the Warrant shall be entitled to exercise the Warrant.
Sales were limited to non-US investors and there were no underwriters involved in the sale of the Units. To date, the Units were sold to one purchaser who is a suitable and sophisticated non-U.S. resident. The Units were sold for cash at $4.00 per Unit (initially $5.00 per Unit and subsequently reduced to $4.00) at an aggregate offering price to date of $335,000 and aggregate finder’s fees of $33,500, with aggregate offering expenses of $10,050. In addition, finders were granted placement warrants to purchase an amount of shares equal to 10% of the Units placed (i.e. – 8,375 warrants). The per-share exercise price of shares which may be purchased under the placement warrant shall be $5.50. The placement warrant shall have a term of 60 months and shall not be exercisable during the initial 13 months following issuance. Following the 13-month non-exercisable period, holders, acting in unison, shall have the right on one occasion to demand that the Company file and exercise reasonable efforts to effect a Registration Statement covering the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the placement warrant. Such right to demand registration shall terminate once the Company files a Registration Statement for registration of the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the placement warrant. Additionally, following the 13-month non-exercisable period, the holders, acting in unison, shall have the right on one occasion to have the shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of the warrants included in any other Registration Statement filed by the Company provided that the inclusion of such shares does not adversely affect the registration purpose or statement and provided that the shares have not previously been registered by the Company.
56
The Company conducted this Unit Offering pursuant to an exemption from registration for limited offerings provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Act. No additional Units will be sold under this Offering.
From October 2002 through December 31, 2002, the Company sold 93,833 shares of its common stock, pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Act. Sales were limited to non-U.S. investors and there were no underwriters involved in the sale. The shares were sold to six purchasers who are suitable and sophisticated non-U.S. residents. The shares were sold for cash at $3.00 per share at an aggregate offering price of $281,499. Aggregate finder’s fees were paid of approximately $28,150 (with aggregate offering expenses of approximately $8,445).
In October 2002, Mr. H. R. Williams, one of the Company’s principal shareholders, (see. “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”) agreed to guarantee an additional $150,000 of credit in addition to the $150,000 currently outstanding. We agreed to issue 5,000 shares to H. R. Williams Family Limited Partnership (“HRW Partnership”) in consideration for this additional guarantee. We further agreed that, to the extent we borrow any funds under the extended guarantee (i.e. — in excess of the original $150,000 line of credit we will grant to HRW Partnership an option to purchase, at $2.50 per share, one share of our common stock for each dollar borrowed. To date, no such additional credit facility has been established and the referenced shares and additional options have not been issued under this arrangement, and we do not anticipate that such credit facility will be established in the future or such additional shares issued or options ultimately granted. As the proposed issuance represents a transaction by an issuer (i.e. — the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares and option would be issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act.
On October 28, 2002, we borrowed $200,000 from a non-affiliated party. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum, payable in advance. We issued a four-year Warrant, together with registration rights commencing after June 28, 2004 to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. We pledged 500,000 shares of our common stock as collateral for the loan, which will be returned to the Company upon loan repayment or delivered to the lender as full loan repayment in the event of default. Pursuant to the terms of the loan, the date for repayment of all principal and interest was extended from February 28, 2003 to April 28, 2003, and in connection with said extension, we issued the lender, on February 28, 2003, a thirty-eight month option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, with registration rights as described above. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance. As the issuance represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares and option were issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act. We borrowed an additional $100,000 from the non-affiliated party in 2003. The terms of this additional advance are currently being negotiated, but are believed to be substantially similar to those of the original $200,000 borrowing. Additionally, the parties are negotiating an extension to the due date of the entire amount borrowed.
In January 2003, pursuant to the exercise of an option granted in December 1999, the Company issued to one purchaser, 12,198 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate exercise price of $13,000. There were no underwriters involved in the sale. As the issuance
57
represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares were issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act.
From January 2003 to March 31, 2003, the Company sold 68,000 shares of its common stock, pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Act. Sales were limited to non-U.S. investors and there were no underwriters involved in the sale. The shares were sold to seven purchasers who are suitable and sophisticated non-U.S. residents. The shares were sold for cash at $3 per share at an aggregate offering price of $204,000. Aggregate finder’s fees were paid of approximately $20,400 (with aggregate offering expenses of approximately $6,120).
In April 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Alan Feldman, a non-affiliated party. Under this Agreement, Mr. Feldman purchased 50,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock at $3.00 per share. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell additional shares under the Agreement up to a maximum of an additional $1,050,000 with such sales in monthly increments at a purchase price equal to 50% of the then current market price for the Company’s common stock, but not less than $3.00 per share. There were no underwriters involved in the sale. The sale was made pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Act.
In May 2003, the Company issued 14,285 shares of its authorized but unissued common stock to Crescent Fund, Inc., pursuant to a Consulting Agreement. The Company may issue additional shares of its common stock to Crescent Fund, Inc. under this Consulting Agreement. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance. As the issuance represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares were issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act.
In May 2003, the Company entered into the agreement with BarBell, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $250,000 (see Equity Line of Credit). The Company is filing this Registration Statement in connection with the Agreement. The borrowing may be converted into common stock at a 25% discount from the then prevailing market price. The Company has the right but not the obligation to sell additional registered shares under the Agreement at a 25% discount from the then prevailing market price to a maximum of an additional $750,000. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.76 per share, of which 25,000 shares are vested and the balance will vest only in the event the Company exercises its right to sell additional shares of registered stock under the Agreement. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance. The Company issued an aggregate of 6,000 shares to Crescent Fund, Inc. and Capstone Partners, LP, which served as co-finders in the transaction. As the issuance represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the shares were issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act.
In May 2003, the Company granted, pursuant to its 2003 Plan, options to purchase 80,000 shares to Joseph Movizzo, a director of the Company. The exercise price is $3.00 per share. The option vests at the rate of 5,000 shares per quarter. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance. As the issuance represented a transaction by an issuer (i.e. - the Company) not involving any public offering, the option was issued pursuant to the private offering exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) | | To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
(i) Include any prospectus required by Sections 10(a)(3) of the Act;
(ii) 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) 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, 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 a 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. |
|
(4) | | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small |
62
| | business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer 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 small business issuer 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Invisa, Inc.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Invisa, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the period February 12, 1997 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Invisa, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended and the period February 12, 1997 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002, 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 C, the Company incurred a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2002 of $3,581,186 and for the period February 12, 1997 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002 of $8,963,815. These factors, among others as discussed in Note C 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 C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Invisa, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A – DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Invisa, Inc. (formerly known as “SmartGate, Inc.”) (“the Company” or “Invisa”) is a development stage enterprise that incorporates safety system technology and products into automated closure devices, such as parking gates, sliding gates, overhead garage doors and commercial overhead doors. The Company has not fully implemented its sales and marketing plan and has, therefore, not emerged from the development stage.
For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, the Company was related through common ownership to Radio Metrix, Inc. (RMI), which since 1992 has owned the licensing rights to the underlying technology used by Invisa and since 2000 has owned the right to purchase the underlying patent from an unrelated party. The patent was purchased by RMI in January 2002 for $1.2 million consisting of $600,000 in cash, which was principally borrowed from the Company, and a $600,000 note. The Company purchased RMI in February 2002 (see Note B).
NOTE B – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Purchase of SmartGate L.C.
Effective February 9, 2000, the Company acquired all of the membership units of SmartGate L.C. in exchange (the Exchange) for approximately 7,744,000 shares of common stock, representing 74% of the Company’s common stock outstanding at that time. Prior to the Exchange, Invisa, Inc. (a privately held company formed in February 1997) had substantially no operations. For accounting purposes, the Exchange was recorded as a reverse acquisition, with SmartGate L.C. as the accounting acquirer. As a result, the historical financial information presented prior to the Exchange is solely that of SmartGate L.C. The operating results of Invisa, Inc. are combined with those of SmartGate L.C. following the Exchange.
The stockholders’ equity presented prior to the exchange represents the number of the Company’s shares of common stock exchanged for shares of SmartGate L.C. in connection with the exchange. The Company’s net assets were recognized as of the exchange date at historical cost.
Purchase of RMI
In February 2002, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding capital stock of RMI, a company owned by the principal shareholders of Invisa, Inc. RMI had virtually no operations since its inception and, therefore, the Company has determined that by acquiring RMI, the Company acquired an asset (a patent) and not a business. At closing, the Company issued two promissory notes totaling $1,300,000 ($500,000 is payable in one installment 48 months from the closing with interest payable monthly, and $800,000 is payable in one installment 14 months from the closing with interest payable monthly) and issued 435,000 shares of Invisa common stock. The $800,000 note maturity date was subsequently amended to April 25, 2004. The Company also agreed to pay royalties of 7% of all revenue generated from the RMI technology (exclusive of safety applications). The revenue agreement is effective until terminated by mutual agreement of the respective parties. Additionally, contingent consideration to be paid by the Company was as follows prior to amendment:
| • | | Upon the emergence from the development stage of the product line incorporating RMI security technology, |
| (a) | | a $4,500,000 promissory note payable in one installment due 60 months from the first commercial sale with accrued interest. While outstanding, the promissory note may, at the discretion of the holder, be converted into shares of Invisa, Inc. common stock at the conversion ratio of one share of Invisa, Inc. common stock for each $5.00 of principal and interest. |
|
| (b) | | 1,125,000 shares of Invisa common stock, which may be increased by the Board of Directors of Invisa, Inc. in order that the aggregate market value of the shares issued is at least $4,500,000 on the issuance date. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE B – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS – Continued
| • | | 3,750,000 shares of Invisa, Inc. common stock, upon the first to occur (i) $25,000,000 in revenue from RMI technology (security technology), (ii) $4,000,000 in pre-tax profits from RMI technology (security technology) and earned royalties, (iii) any 30-day period during which Invisa’s common stock has an average closing price which exceeds $15.00 per share, or (iv) a change in control. |
Invisa recorded the cost of the patent, which consists of the consideration paid, the liabilities assumed and the fair value of the stock issued (based on a $3.50 per share offering price) as follows:
| | | | |
Promissory notes issued | | $ | 1,300,000 | |
Stock issued | | | 1,522,500 | |
Liabilities assumed (1) | | | 1,018,257 | |
Costs relating to the acquisition | | | 120,218 | |
| | |
| |
| | $ | 3,960,975 | |
| | |
| |
(1) Liabilities assumed includes $600,000 note payable to the original owner of the patent, $550,000 note payable to the Company, $357,000 receivable from the Company, $175,000 payable to the shareholders of RMI and $50,000 of other liabilities.
The Company has obtained a third-party valuation of RMI, which supports the initial purchase price plus the contingent consideration referred to above.
During April 2003, through an amendment to the agreement, the Company agreed to issue 3,250,000 shares of its common stock for full satisfaction of the above contingent consideration. These shares were recorded at the fair value at that date of $3.00 per share and, as a result, patent cost was increased by $9,750,000 with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital during April 2003 (see Note Q).
Amortization expense will be adjusted for the remaining life of the patent to reflect the additional patent costs. The Company follows the methodology presented in SFAS 144 to measure for impairment of the patent. The Company will continue to monitor its actual and forecasted results of operations and will consider them in its future impairment analyses.
NOTE C – OPERATING MATTERS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and since the date of inception, the Company has had a net loss of $816,470 and $9,780,285, respectively. As of March 31, 2003, the Company has not emerged from the development stage and has negative working capital of approximately $1,952,666. In view of these matters, recoverability of recorded property and equipment, intangible assets and other asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon continued operation of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company improving its overall level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its operations principally from the sale of equity securities, as the Company has not generated significant revenues from the sale of its products. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
Currently, the Company is in the process of offering up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share. In 2003, the Company has sold 68,000 shares pursuant to the offering. During April 2003, the Company entered into a stock subscription agreement that requires the subscriber to purchase $1,200,000 of common stock over the course of one year. The price of common stock under this agreement is the greater of $3.00 per share or one half of the then current market price. The shares issued are redeemable at the option of the holder, payable in the form of a promissory note with a 13-month maturity (see Note Q). Also in April 2003, the Company borrowed an additional $100,000 from a non-affiliated party (see Note Q). Also in April 2003, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company borrowed $250,000

(see Note Q). In addition, the Company is in licensing fee discussions with potential distributors of the Company’s future security products. While there can be no assurance that such sources will provide adequate funding for the Company’s operations, management believes such sources will be available to the Company.
NOTE D – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 include the accounts of Invisa, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, SmartGate L.C. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, include the accounts of Invisa and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SmartGate, L.C. and RMI. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are due primarily from companies in the gate manufacturing industry located throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Bad debts have not been significant. For the year ended December 31, 2002 and the three months ended March 31, 2003, a customer located in the United Kingdom accounted for 30% and 5%, respectively, of total Company sales.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Accumulated depreciation and amortization was $27,360 and $57,460 at December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, and $67,624 at March 31, 2003. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation.
Patent
The patent for the Company’s underlying technology is amortized on a straight-line method over 10 years, which represents the remaining life of the patent. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, approximates $319,600 and $415,000, respectively.

NOTE D – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
Revenue
Sales under fixed price arrangements are recognized as revenue upon shipment of product (when title transfers to the purchaser) and collectibility is assured.
In July of 2002, the Company entered into a five-year agreement with Rytec Corporation, whereby Rytec became the exclusive licensee in North America for certain industrial doors. Under the agreement, Rytec paid the Company $300,000 which represents an advance payment to be applied towards the purchase of the first 3,000 units by Rytec. As of March 31, 2003, no sales transactions had occurred under the agreement.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs consist of direct and indirect costs that are associated with the development of the Company’s technology. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, advertising expense was $87,866 and $267,532, respectively. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, these amounts were $49,521 and $21,301, respectively.
Warranty Costs
Estimated warranty costs are recognized in the period product is shipped. However, there have been no significant warranty costs incurred through March 31, 2003, nor are any significant amounts expected to occur subsequently. Accordingly, no warranty liability has been recognized for any period presented.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code for periods prior to the Exchange. Therefore, the stockholders reported income, deductions, and certain credits on their individual income tax returns. Following the Exchange, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of the line of credit and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the use of market rates of interest.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets or asset groups, including patents, whenever adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the expected undiscounted future cash flows from the related asset may be less than previously anticipated. If the net book value of the related asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset, the carrying amount would be reduced to the present value of its expected future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized. The value of the patent is particularly sensitive to the achievement of forecasted revenue. As a result, management will compare its actual to budgeted results during 2003 and will consider unfavorable variances in future impairment analyses. There have been no impairment losses in any of the periods presented.

Earnings Per Common Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods presented because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(SFAS 123), which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans; however, the Company has elected to account for its employee stock compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, with pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. The Company amortizes compensation costs related to the pro forma disclosure using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the employees’ common stock options.
Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined on the fair value at the grant dates for stock-based employee compensation arrangements consistent with the method required by SFAS 123, the Company’s net loss and net loss per common share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below (see also Note M):

New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 141,Business Combinations,and SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for the year beginning January 1, 2002; however certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001, and the effective date of SFAS 142. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes FASB Statement No. 121,Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The provisions of this statement are effective for the year beginning January 1, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement requires entities to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when liabilities are incurred rather than when the entity commits to an exit or disposal plan, as currently required. Examples of costs covered by this guidance include one-time employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts other than capital leases, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain other exit or disposal activities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002, and will impact any exit or disposal activities the Company initiates after that date.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement 148 (SFAS 148),Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure: an amendment of FASB Statement 123(SFAS 123), to provide alternative transition methods for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in annual financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the pro forma effect on reported results of applying the fair value based method for entities that use the intrinsic value method of accounting. The pro forma effect disclosures are also required to be prominently disclosed in interim period financial statements. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and is effective for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not plan a change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and has included the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 in the accompanying financial statements.
In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement addresses the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be accounted for as equity. SFAS 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the statement of financial position. In addition, SFAS 150 also requires disclosures about alternative ways of settling the instruments and the capital structure of certain entities. Most of the guidance in SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management has not fully evaluated the effect of adopting this standard.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45,Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for Guarantors, including Indirect Guarantors of Indebtedness to Others(FIN 45). FIN 45 creates new disclosure and liability recognition requirements for certain guarantees, including obligations to stand ready to perform. The initial recognition and measurement requirements of FIN 45 are effective prospectively for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2002. There were no such guarantees entered into by the Company through March 31, 2003.
Unaudited Financial Statements
The unaudited financial statements and the related notes thereto for March 31, 2002 and 2003, include all normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation and are prepared on the same basis as the audited annual statements. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

NOTE G – LINE OF CREDIT
The line of credit at December 31, 2001 and 2002, consists of a $150,000 secured working capital line of credit with a bank. This line of credit was renewed and matures in July 2003. Interest is payable monthly at prime plus one percent, or approximately 5.25% at March 31, 2003. Approximately $600 is available for borrowing under the line of credit as of March 31, 2003. The line of credit may be used to finance short term operating capital and all inventories are pledged as security. There are no financial covenants associated with this line of credit. A shareholder guarantees the line of credit.
In October 2002, one of the Company’s principal shareholders agreed to guarantee an additional $150,000 of credit in addition to the $150,000 currently available on the line of credit. The Company has agreed to issue 5,000 shares to the shareholder in consideration for this agreement. The Company further agreed that, to the extent they borrow any funds under the extended guarantee (i.e. – in excess of the original $150,000 line of credit) they will grant to the shareholder an option to purchase, at $2.50 per share, one share of common stock for each dollar borrowed. An agreement with a lender has not been executed with regard to this additional guaranteed amount and, the Company does not anticipate that such an agreement with a lender will be entered into in the future.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE H – NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES AND NOTES PAYABLE – Continued
In October 2002, the Company borrowed $200,000 from a non-affiliated party. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum, payable in advance. The Company issued a four-year warrant, together with registration rights commencing after June 28, 2004, to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price varying from $1.00 to $3.00 per share depending upon the date of loan repayment. Based on the unpaid status of the notes, the exercise price of the warrant is $1.00 per share. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized an original issue discount of $144,000. Included in interest expense for 2002 is $58,000 arising from the amortization of the original issue discount ($55,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003). The Company pledged 500,000 shares of common stock as collateral for the loan, which will be returned to the Company upon loan repayment or delivered to the lender as full loan repayment in the event of default. Those shares are not recognized as issued and outstanding. All principal and interest were payable on February 28, 2003, subject to extension to April 28, 2003, upon issuance of a four-year option to purchase an additional 50,000 shares at $1.00 per share. The extension option was issued and the loan extended to April 2003. In May 2003, the loan was increased by $100,000. Management has not finalized all terms associated with this modification to the loan agreement.
NOTE I – DUE TO SHAREHOLDERS AND OFFICERS

Additionally, 3,250,000 shares of common stock issuable as consideration in connection with the patent purchase agreement, as amended (see Note Q), is not considered in the calculation of basic or diluted loss per share.
NOTE L – COMMON STOCK
In March 2001, the Company authorized a private common stock offering of up to 1,500,000 shares at $3.50 per share (the “March 2001 Offering”). Related to the March 2001 Offering, the Company issued 412,325 shares of common stock and realized proceeds of $1,210,749 during 2002 (net of $232,389 in offering costs). In April 2002, the March 2001 Offering was terminated and in May 2002, the Company commenced a new offering consisting of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share (the “May 2002 Offering”). The May 2002 Offering was amended to comprise only 1,000,000 units at a purchase price of $5.00 per unit (the “Unit Offering”). Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, and one warrant to purchase one additional share (the “Unit”). The exercise price of each warrant shall be $5.00 per share until August 15, 2003 (the “Initial Warrant Year”), and from August 16, 2003 through August 15, 2004 the exercise price is the greater of the average closing trading price for the Company’s common stock during the initial warrant year or $8.00, whichever is greater. As part of the Unit Offering, the Company has committed to issue to brokers/dealers warrants to purchase common stock at $5.50 per share equal to 10% of the units placed. The Unit Offering was amended to reflect an effective unit price of $4.00 per share in May 2002. Under the Unit Offering, during the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued 83,750 units and realized proceeds of $271,450 (net of $63,550 in cash offering costs). In 2002, the Company also issued 93,833 shares of common stock and realized proceeds of $244,820 (net of $36,680 in offering costs).
In December 2001, the Company issued 95,000 shares of common stock to shareholders/management in exchange for services rendered. The shares were valued at $3.50 based on recent selling prices.
On January 3, 2003, the Company’s shareholders approved an increase in the Company’s authorized stock to 100,000,000 shares, consisting of 95,000,000 Common and 5,000,000 Preferred shares; rights and preferences of the Preferred are to be set by the Board of Directors. This authorization is reflected in the Company’s financial statements at December 31, 2002.
In March 2003, the Company entered into a six-month consulting agreement with Crescent Fund, Inc. The agreement calls for Crescent to provide management-consulting, public relations and to act as an investment-banking liaison for the Company. The Company will issue to Crescent 28,569 shares of restricted common stock over the term of the agreement (see Note Q).

NOTE M – STOCK OPTIONS
In July 2000, the Company established a stock compensation plan (the “2000 Plan”), which provides for the granting of options to purchase the Company’s common stock to employees, directors, consultants and advisors who have rendered, are rendering, or expected to continue to render services to the Company. The options granted are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in each individual option agreement. The 2000 Plan provides for a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to be issued. The 2000 Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) September 1, 2010, or (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the 2000 Plan shall have been issued. Options totaling 1,080,000 were issued in 2000 under the Plan ranging in price from $3.00 to $4.96 per share; of these 9,998 were cancelled. Under the Plan, 120,000 options were issued in 2001, ranging in price from $4.27 to $5.32. In December 2001, the Company’s Board closed the 2000 Plan.
In 2002, the Company adopted a stock compensation plan (the “2002 Plan”). Under the 2002 Plan, the Company has reserved an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock eligible for current and prospective employees, consultants, and directors. The options granted are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in each individual option agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company granted 1,130,000 common stock options under the 2002 Plan. The 2002 Plan shall continue until the earlier of (i) its termination by the Board; or (ii) the date on which all shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2002 Plan have been issued and all restrictions on such shares under the terms of the 2002 Plan and the agreements evidencing options granted under the 2002 Plan have lapsed; or (iii) ten years from its effective date. In January 2003, the Company’s Board closed the 2002 Plan.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company granted 842,125 common stock options that were outside the above plans. At the grant date, the exercise price of the options was equal to the market price, except for an option for 200,000 shares, which was below market.
In January 2003, the Company adopted a stock compensation plan (the “2003 Plan”). Under the 2003 Plan, the Company has reserved up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2003 Plan retained all provisions of the 2002 Plan.
During 1999, the Company granted 985,000 common stock options to certain employees and officers. In December 1999, all the options were exercised with notes payable to the Company, which notes included terms requiring variable plan accounting for certain of these shareholders. These terms allowed for early repayment and for settlement by tendering common stock of the Company. As a result of this transaction, for the period ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized approximately $243,000 in compensation expense that is included in the consolidated statement of operations in selling, general and administrative expenses. Effective January 1, 2002, the terms of the notes were modified to fix the price of the in-substance options. Specifically, the notes were modified such that both the number of shares and the price per share became fixed. This was accomplished by requiring a fixed amount of interest to be paid regardless of the date principal is paid and by removing the ability to satisfy the notes with the tendering of common stock. Accordingly, fixed plan accounting was subsequently recognized for these stock awards.

Patent License
Prior to February 2002, the Company was party to a sublicense agreement with RMI for the proprietary safety technology used in the Company’s products.

Those terms provided for the payment of royalties calculated based on an adjusted earnings amount. Due to the losses incurred since inception of the Company, no payments had been required under the license agreement (see Note B).

NOTE Q – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
In April 2003, the Company entered into a twelve-month agreement with an investor, whereby the investor will provide the Company $1,200,000 in cash from May 2003 to April 2004, in monthly payments ranging from $50,000 to $150,000. The Company received $150,000 on May 1, 2003, related to this arrangement. In return, the Company will issue to the investor the requisite number of common shares by dividing the above monthly payment amounts by $3.00 per share or 50% of the closing price (whichever is greater). The investor has the right to require the Company to re-purchase all of the common shares issued to the investor during the duration of the agreement. The re-purchase price paid by the Company will equal the per share investment paid by the investor, as described above, and will be paid by the Company in the form of a promissory note payable in one installment 13 months from the date of the promissory note.
In April 2003, the Company approved the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock to an investment advisor. The shares were granted in recognition of past performance associated with common stock private placement offerings and in contemplation of continued involvement by this advisor in future fundraising activities.
During April 2003, through an amendment to the patent purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue 3,250,000 shares of its common stock for full satisfaction of future contingent consideration. These shares were recorded at the fair value at that date of $3.00 per share and, as a result, patent cost was increased by $9,750,000 with a corresponding increase in stockholders’ equity during April 2003.
In May 2003, the Company issued 14,285 shares of its authorized but unissued common stock to Crescent Fund, Inc., pursuant to a Consulting Agreement. The Company may issue additional shares of its common stock to Crescent Fund, Inc. under this Consulting Agreement.
