Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc. (a development stage company) as of September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2004 and for the periods from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to September 30, 2003, and June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to September 30, 2004. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 financial position of Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc. as of September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2004 and the periods from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to September 30, 2003, and June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to September 30, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc. (“PDTI” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a Houston based company engaged primarily in the development of a proprietary drilling system designed to increase the rate-of-penetration in hard rock drilling environments. In June 2004, PDTI merged with Particle Drilling, Inc. (“PDI”), originally named ProDril Acquisition Company, a Texas corporation. PDI was formed in June 2003 as an oilfield service and technology company to acquire certain patents and pending patents related to the Particle Impact Drilling (“PID”) technology. PDTI became the surviving corporation (see Footnote 16).
The Particle Impact Drilling technology is designed to enhance the rate-of-penetration function in the drilling process, particularly in hard rock drilling environments. PDTI intends to develop and exploit this technology by commercializing the PID system.
PDTI is in the development stage, devoting substantially all of its efforts to product development, raising financing and recruiting personnel. PDTI has substantially funded its operations with proceeds from the issuance of preferred and common stock. In the course of its development activities, PDTI has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. PDTI will finance its operations primarily through cash and cash equivalents on hand, future financing from the issuance of debt or equity instruments and through the generation of revenues once commercial operations get underway. However, the Company has yet to generate any revenues, and has no assurance of future revenues. To management’s knowledge, no company has yet marketed a salable product using the technology that is being developed by the Company. Even if marketing efforts are successful, substantial time may pass before revenues are realized.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, PDTI’s fiscal year ends September 30. The financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2003 covers a period of four months beginning June 9, 2003 (date of inception). In addition, the financial statements of PDTI are presented for the year ended September 30, 2004, and for the period from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to September 30, 2004. There may be significant variances in the comparative financials due to the different reporting periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
9
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these items.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject PDTI to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in demand in two financial institutions in the United States. Deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. PDTI has not experienced any material losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Whenever assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred and any significant improvements are capitalized.
Intangible Assets
An intangible asset that is acquired either individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) is initially recognized and measured based on its fair value. The costs of a group of assets acquired in a transaction other than a business combination are allocated to the individual assets acquired based on their relative fair values and are not considered goodwill. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the net assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the best estimate of their useful lives. The amortization period and amortization method are reviewed annually at each financial year-end. Additional patent and application costs are capitalized and amortized over their useful lives once the patents are issued.
Offering Expense
Offering expense consist primarily of placement fees and expenses, professional fees and printing costs. These costs are charged against the related proceeds from the sale of Company stock in the periods in which they occur or charged to expense in the event of a terminated offering.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
PDTI evaluates its long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment by comparison of the carrying amounts to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s fair value or discounted estimates of future cash flows. PDTI has not identified any such impairment losses to date.
10
Income Taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income taxes”. This statement requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income tax purposes. This statement recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Provisions (benefits) for income taxes result from permanent and temporary differences in the recognition of accounting transactions for tax and financial reporting purposes.
Stock-Based Compensation
PDTI has adopted FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for non-cash stock-based compensation issued to employees, directors and non-employees for goods or services. FAS No. 123 allows companies to continue to measure compensation costs for employees and directors using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB Opinion 25; however, the fair value method must be used to measure compensation cost issued to non-employees. FAS No. 123 states that the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation is preferable to the intrinsic value method; therefore, the Company uses the fair value method to measure all stock-based compensation, including stock-based compensation to its employees and directors. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the fair value of the award on the applicable measurement date.
Research and Development
The costs of materials and equipment or facilities that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and that have alternative future uses are capitalized as tangible assets when acquired or constructed. The cost of such materials consumed in research and development activities and the depreciation of such equipment or facilities used in those activities are research and development costs. However, the costs of materials, equipment, or facilities acquired or constructed for research and development activities that have no alternative future uses are considered research and development costs and are expensed at the time the costs are incurred.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (Revised 2003) (“SFAS 132 (R)”), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. SFAS 132 (R) increases the existing disclosure requirements by requiring more details about pension plans assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, benefit costs and related information. Companies will be required to segregate plan assets by category, such as debt, equity and real estate, and to provide certain expected rates of return and other informational disclosures. SFAS 132 (R) also requires companies to disclose various elements of pension and postretirement benefit costs in interim-period financial statements for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS 132 (R) will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of PDTI.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and subsequently revised the Interpretation in December 2003 (FIN 46R). This Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have certain characteristics. As revised, FIN 46R is now generally effective for financial statements for interim or annual periods ending on or after March 15, 2004. We have not identified any variable interest entities. In the event a variable interest entity is identified, we do not expect the requirements of FIN 46R to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. An issuer is required to classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of this statement as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
11
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entities equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in statement No. 123 as originally issued. This statement is effective for new awards and those modified, repurchased or cancelled in interim or annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has adopted this standard and the effects of the early adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
3. NOTE RECEIVABLE
In August 2003, PDTI and ProDril Services, Inc. (“PSI”) entered into a Revolving Letter of Credit Promissory Note whereby PSI could borrow from PDTI a maximum principal amount of $350,000. At September 30, 2003, the Company had loaned PSI $276,336 under this Revolving Letter of Credit Promissory Note. During the fiscal year 2004, the Company loaned an additional $24,447 before exchanging the Promissory Note in connection with the acquisition of substantially all the assets of PSI. The Company also paid $55,000 in cash towards a PSI vendor in connection with the closing of the acquisition (see Footnote 15). The exchange of the loan was treated as consideration related to the acquisition cost.

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consist of the following at September 30, 2004:
Office furniture, fixtures and equipment | | $ | 66,070 | |
Research and development equipment | | 497,821 | |
| | | |
Total | | 563,891 | |
| | | |
Less: accumulated depreciation | | 112,066 | |
| | | |
Total property and equipment, net | | $ | 451,825 | |
For the year ended September 30, 2004, depreciation expense totaled $2,690 and $109,376 for office furniture, fixtures and equipment, and research and development equipment, respectively. The depreciation related to the research and development equipment was recorded as research and development expense. PDTI had no property and equipment, or depreciation expense for the period ending September 30, 2003.
5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In January 2004, PDTI assumed liabilities and exchanged a note receivable from Prodril Services, Inc. of $945,980 and $300,783, respectively, as consideration for equipment with a fair value of $479,610 and all intellectual property associated with PSI’s PID technology. The Company recorded an intangible asset of $767,153 for the difference in the fair value of consideration given and the fair value of the net assets acquired. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred direct legal fees of $87,915 and $74,695 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 and the period ending September 30, 2003, respectively. The intangible assets acquired were related to the patents of the PID technology; therefore, PDTI determined the useful life of the intangibles to be 18.3 years at the date of acquisition.
During fiscal year 2004, the Company incurred direct cost of $88,192 for patents filed but not issued.
Amortization expense totaled $35,343 for the year ended September 30, 2004. The capitalized direct legal fees at September 30, 2003 were related to the acquisition of the PID technology acquired in January 2004; therefore, the Company did not record amortization expense for the period ending September 30, 2003.

The remaining balance of the note at September 30, 2004 was $31,092 with $10,891 classified as current on the balance sheet. The note is secured by the vehicle financed.
9. PREFERRED STOCK
The Company’s certificate of incorporation allows for the issuance of preferred stock in such series and having such terms and conditions as the Company’s board of directors may designate.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock – Holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock have the same voting rights as common stockholders on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company, except as otherwise expressly provided by applicable law, in the Certificate of Incorporation or in any certificates of designation to such Certificate of Incorporation. In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders are entitled to a liquidating distribution of $2.00 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends on the preferred stock. At the option of the holders, each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company shall have the option to cause the preferred stock to be automatically converted into the Company’s common stock if (1) more than two-thirds of the shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock originally issued by the Company have been converted into common stock, or (2) after one year from the date of issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the market value of the Company’s common stock is greater than two times the conversion price for 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading-day period.
15
In June 2004, PDI merged with PDTI and PDTI became the surviving company. The shareholders of PDI’s common stock that had an anti-dilution provision exchanged their share of common stock for PDTI’s Series A convertible preferred stock. Prior to the merger, PDTI sold 410,000 shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock at $1.50 per share and loaned the funds, less offering expense, to PDI in the form of a convertible promissory note. Upon the merger, the loan between PDI and PDTI was eliminated.
From July 2004 to September 2004, PDTI issued 375,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock in a private placement at $2.00 per share. PDTI received net proceeds of $717,500 after deducting the offering expense.
10. COMMON STOCK
All common stock sold or issued in exchange for services included an anti-dilution provision with the exception of the founders’ shares, the 5,000,000 shares of common issued in June 2004 to its financial advisors, and the shares of common issued in exchange for warrants. In June 2004, all anti-dilutive common stock was exchanged for Series A Preferred Stock in order to have the effect of eliminating the anti-dilution provision of certain shares of common stock. The Company believes the fair value of the anti-dilutive common stock was equal to the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock since all holders of anti-dilutive common stock were willing to exchange their anti-dilutive common stock for an equal number of shares of PDTI Series A Preferred Stock.
In June 2003, PDTI issued 9,000,000 shares of its common stock to founders for cash under stock purchase agreements.
From June 2003 to September 2003, PDTI issued 504,500 shares of common stock in a private placement at $2.00 per share. PDTI completed this private placement in January 2004 and issued an additional 196,800 shares of common stock from October 2003 to January 2004 at $2.00 per share. PDTI received net proceeds of $800,183 after deducting the offering expenses. These shares included an anti-dilution provision.
In July 2003, PDTI issued 15,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services recorded as promotion expense. PDTI recorded a charge of $30,000 for the fair value of common stock on the date of issuance. These shares included an anti-dilution provision.
In October 2003, PDTI issued 27,000 shares of common stock to a professional recruiting firm for services rendered. PDTI recorded a charge of $54,000 for the fair value of common stock on the date of issuance. These shares included an anti-dilution provision.
In January 2004, PDTI issued 25,000 shares of common stock in exchange for a $50,000 note payable that was assumed in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of ProDril Services Inc. These shares included an anti-dilution provision.
In January 2004, PDTI issued 12,000 shares of common stock for legal services rendered. PDTI recorded a charge of $24,000 for the fair value of common stock on the date of issuance. These shares included an anti-dilution provision.
In March 2004, PDTI issued 70,000 shares of common stock to a professional advisor in connection with a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement. PDTI recorded a charge of $140,000 for the estimated fair value of common stock on the date of issuance. These shares included an anti-dilution provision.
In March 2004, PDTI issued 75,000 shares of common stock to a professional advisor for services rendered. PDTI recorded a charge of $150,000 for the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of issuance. These shares included an anti-dilution provision.
16
In April 2004, PDTI issued 50,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of warrants that were issued for legal services. The warrants had an exercise price of $0.12. In lieu of cash received for the exercise price, PDTI agreed to accept a reduction in the accounts payable due to the parties involved.
In June 2004, PDTI issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to several financial advisors for services rendered. PDTI recorded a charge of $600,000 for the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of issuance (see Footnote 16). These shares did not contain any type of anti-dilution provision.
In June 2004, all shareholders whose shares included an anti-dilution provision agreed to exchange their common stock for an equal number of shares in PDTI’s Series A convertible preferred stock, thereby eliminating the anti-dilution provision.
11. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
In April 2004, the board of directors adopted the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides the issuance of incentive stock options to directors, employees and consultants of PDTI. Provisions under the Plan allow for the issuance of incentive stock options to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had 645,000 options available for grant under the plan. Under the Plan, the exercise price of each option equals the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and the maximum term for the options is ten years. For the year ended September 30, 2004, compensation cost recorded for these options was $50,814. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0; expected volatility of 0; risk-free interest rate of 4.22%; and expected life of 10 years.
During fiscal year 2004, PDTI issued 323,909 warrants to consultants. The exercise price of each warrant equals the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and the maximum term for the warrants is five years. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, compensation cost recorded for these warrants was $5,830. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0; expected volatility of 0; risk-free interest rate of 3.25%; and expected life of 5 years.

12. INCOME TAXES
For the period ended September 30, 2004, there were permanent differences of $33,394 (increasing taxable income) and net temporary differences of $78,896 that decreased taxable income for the current year.
The Company has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,606,134 at September 30, 2004. No effect has been shown in the financial statements for the net operating loss carryforwards as the likelihood of future tax benefit from such net operating loss carryforwards is not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards, estimated based upon current tax rates at September 30, 2004, have been offset by valuation reserves of the same amount.
The Company has available approximately $3,606,134 in net operating loss carryforwards that will begin to expire at various dates beginning 2004 through 2023. The valuation allowance increased $860,053 from September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2004.
As of the indicated dates, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:
| | September 30, | | September 30, | | | |

Due to the large losses that have occurred since the Company’s inception, and that the effect of any permanent or temporary differences on taxable income have been deemed immaterial, no statutory rate reconciliation of the Company’s tax rate is disclosed nor discussed within this footnote.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In 2003, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with an affiliate of Prentis B. Tomlinson who was the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company until December 2, 2004. The agreement was created initially to provide PDTI access to funds to carry out daily management activities in the normal course of business and to provide financial support to ProDril Services, Inc. until such time as the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of PSI could be completed (See Footnote 15 below for a complete description of the acquisition referred to above). The terms of the agreement allow for the right to offset. At September 30, 2003, PDTI was owed $318,744 and PDTI owed the affiliate $322,172. In July 2004, PDTI purchased various office furniture, fixtures and equipment with a fair market value of $63,356 from the affiliate by offsetting the balance owed to PDTI under this revolving loan agreement. In addition to the office furniture, fixtures and equipment, PDTI assumed the property tax liability of $6,573. Before offset, PDTI was owed $381,789 and PDTI owed the affiliate $325,006.
During the period from June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to September 30, 2003, Prentis B. Tomlinson advanced PDTI $19,767. During fiscal year 2004, the Company paid Mr. Tomlinson the entire balance owed.
In March 2004, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, LLC (“CMCP”) to assist in providing investment banking and other financial advisory services. One of the principal’s of CMCP was a director of the Company at September 30, 2004. In connection with the advisory agreement, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to CMCP and various affiliates of CMCP. The Company is also required to pay CMCP a monthly advisory fee of $9,500 commencing on the date of signing a merger agreement with a public company and continuing for two years following the merger. The Company signed a merger agreement with MedXLink, Corp, a public company, on July 14, 2004.
15. ACQUISITIONS

16. MERGER WITH PARTICLE DRILLING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
In April 2004, PDI entered into an advisory agreement with Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, LLC whereby CMCP agreed to serve as PDI’s financial advisor. CMCP then founded Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for the purpose of raising capital and to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of PDI. In June 2004, the respective board of directors and stockholders of PDTI and PDI approved an agreement and plan of merger, whereby PDI merged into PDTI and the separate existence of PDI ceased. In addition, all of the shareholders of PDI with anti-dilution rights exchanged their common shares for Series A convertible preferred stock in the merged company. Prior to the merger, PDTI raised $615,000 and loaned $553,500, net of $61,500 offering expense, to PDI in the form of a Convertible Promissory Note. On June 25, 2004 the merger was completed and the principal balance of the note was eliminated. In connection to the advisory agreement mentioned above, and through the merger of PDTI and PDI, CMCP and various groups associated with CMCP retained 5,000,000 shares of common stock in the combined company. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $600,000 for the fair market value of the common stock on the date of issuance. CMCP and various groups associated with CMCP have agreed to cancel 700,000 shares of common stock in order to facilitate the merger with MedXlink, Corp. upon closing of the merger, as discussed in Footnote 18.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the merger of MXLK and PDTI. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the financial position of MXLK and PDTI at September 30, 2004 as if the acquisition was consummated on September 30, 2004. PDTI was founded on June 9, 2003. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2004 combines the results of operations of MXLK and PDTI as if the acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2003. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2003 combines the results of operations of MXLK and PDTI as if the acquisition had occurred on June 9, 2003, the inception date of PDTI.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is based on preliminary estimates, available information and certain assumptions, and may be revised as additional information becomes available. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not intended to represent what PDTI’s results of operations would actually have been if the acquisition had occurred on those dates or to project PDTI’s financial results of operations for any future period. Since MXLK and PDTI were not under common control of management for the period June 9, 2003 (date of inception) to September 30, 2004, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future performance.
This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of MXLK and PDTI. MXLK’s historical financial statements can be found in MXLK’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on January 12, 2005 and MXLK’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on January 20, 2004.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. SUMMARY OF TRANSACTION
In connection with the merger between MXLK and PDTI, which occurred on January 14, 2005, MXLK issued 13,316,556 shares of common stock to holders of common stock of PDTI and reserved for issuance (1) 828,000 shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding warrants to purchase common stock of PDTI, (2) 3,205,000 shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding options to purchase common stock of PDTI, and (3) 3,381,538 shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock of PDTI that remained outstanding following the Merger that are now convertible into common stock of the Parent pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. In addition, 1,342,404 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Parent were cancelled for no consideration in connection with the Merger. As a result of the merger, the Parent has 14,866,556 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and an additional 7,414,538 shares of common stock reserved for issuance as described above.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
PDTI maintains its accounting records on a 52 week fiscal year with the reporting period ending September 30. Prior to the merger, MXLK was a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets and no operations. For accounting purposes, the merger is considered a capital transaction resulting in a recapitalization of PDTI rather than a business combination.
The financial statements include the accounts of PDTI, MXLK and Merger Sub. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
(A) The pro forma adjustments are to eliminate the historical assets, liabilities and equity of MXLK that will not be part of the combined company after the merger.
(B) MXLK’s certificate of incorporation allows for the issuance of common stock and no preferred stock. The Parent has an equal number of common shares reserved for the number of preferred shares outstanding in the Merger Sub. The preferred shares of the Merger Sub are eliminated in consolidation and accounted for as common shares outstanding in the consolidated financials of the Parent.
4. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share and shares used in computing the net loss per share for the years ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 are based upon the historical weighted average common shares outstanding plus the shares issued, cancelled, and held for reserve in connection with the merger. Dilutive net loss per share would give affect to the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting of options and warrants. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of net loss per share as its effect would be antidulitive. The 13,316,556 shares of common stock issued in connection with the merger, and the 3,381,538 shares of preferred stock that are eliminated and accounted for as common stock at the Parent level have been included in the calculation of pro forma basic and diluted net loss. Following the merger, MXLK cancelled all but 1,550,000 shares of common stock. The cancelled shares are deducted from the historical shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share.
