NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of LifePoint, Inc. (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except as disclosed below) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year due to external factors that are beyond the control of the Company. This Report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 (the "Annual Report").
NOTE 2. - Continuing Operations and Liquidity
During the period from October 8, 1992 (inception) through September 30, 2001, the Company has realized no revenues and has accumulated losses of $31,158,871. Recovery of the Company's assets is dependent upon future events, including commercialization of the Company's product and ultimately achieving profitable operations. The outcome of these events is indeterminable.
On August 28, 2000 the Company entered into a lease financing agreement with Finova Capital Corporation ("Finova") of Scottsdale, Arizona whereby Finova agreed to provide LifePoint with up to a $3,000,000 lease line for the purchase of equipment including up to $500,000 of leasehold improvements (at September 30, 2001, $1,249,930 had been drawn against the line). The master lease agreement provided for individual closing schedules of not less than $250,000 (up to three schedules could have had an aggregate closing cost of not less than $100,000) initiated on or before June 30, 2001. Each closing schedule has been financed for 36 months at a rate equal to the then current three-year U.S. Treasury Note. At the end of each schedule, LifePoint will have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the equipment at 15% of the original equipment cost. The Company was required to maintain a deposit of $900,000 with Finova in accordance with the master lease agreement. The Company met the requirements to have the deposit plus interest released by June 30, 2001. On October 10, 2001, Finova returned the deposit with interest.
In June 2001, the Company closed an initial round of a private placement and in September 2001, closed the final round of the private placement. The Company realized $12,792,681 in proceeds (net of $994,404 in expenses related to the private placement) from the sale of 393.916 Units, each Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and a Common Stock purchase warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of the Common Stock. The Company had previously realized $3,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 75,000 shares of the then designated Series B Preferred Stock; however, the $3,000,000 purchase price for these shares was applied to purchase Units and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock were cancelled and the related Common Stock purchase warrants surrendered. As a result, management believes that the net proceeds from the two offerings will be sufficient to enable the Company to reach the period when the Company can reasonably expect to achieve profitability. However, if there are any additional delays in the Company meeting its timetable, the Company may require additional funding. In addition, because approximately 50% of the proceeds from the offering are held in escrow (for a total of approximately $6.2 million included in restricted cash) against the achievement by the Company of certain designated milestones, the Company could have to refund some or all of these proceeds held in escrow.

(Continued)
NOTE 2. - Continuing Operations and Liquidity (continued)
The Company has entered into a strategic partnering agreement with CMI, Inc. ("CMI") to distribute the Company's products exclusively to the law enforcement market. As part of this agreement, CMI will make payments of approximately $5 million to LifePoint over a two and one-half year period. Additionally, the Company continues to pursue additional strategic partnering in other markets for its first product; several large corporations have also expressed their initial interest in partnering with the Company. Management anticipates that an additional partnering agreement may be completed; however there can be no assurance when and if such arrangement will be made.
Management believes that, with the net proceeds from the private placement complemented with a portion of the strategic partnering fees described in the preceding paragraphs, the Company has sufficient funds to complete field trials and pilot studies, initiate marketing and reach profitability, expected to occur five quarters post product introduction. There can be no assurance that management's estimate as to costs and timing will be correct. Any further delays subsequent to those announced in early October may further increase the Company's costs.

NOTE 4 - Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
LifePoint has entered into a lease agreement commencing October 1, 1997 and, extended by an amendment, terminating on June 30, 2004, for the research facilities in Rancho Cucamonga, California. In addition to rent of $72,000 per year for fiscal years through March 31, 2002, LifePoint will pay real estate taxes and other occupancy costs. The Company has an option to renew until June 30, 2005 so as to be consistent with the term of the lease described in the next paragraph.

Lease Commitments (continued)
On April 26, 2000, the Company entered into a lease agreement for administrative offices and a manufacturing facility commencing May 1, 2000, which terminates on July 31, 2005. In addition to rent of $226,000 per year, LifePoint will pay for real estate taxes and other occupancy costs. The Company may elect to terminate the lease at the end of four years and has the right to two 2-year renewal options.
The Company leases certain equipment under noncancelable lease arrangements. These capital leases expire on various dates through 2004 and may be renewed for up to 12 months. Furniture, fixtures and equipment includes assets acquired under capital leases of $1,503,400 as of September 30, 2001.
Significant Contracts
Since October 1997, the Company has been the exclusive licensee from the United States Navy (the "USN") to use the USN's flow immunosensor technology to test for drugs of abuse and anabolic steroids on urine samples. Prior thereto, LifePoint was a sublicensee for the same technology under a license granted by the USN to the then parent of the Company. The license agreement (the "License Agreement") expires February 23, 2010, when the USN patent expires, including any reissues, continuation or division thereof.
In April 1999, the Company and the USN completed negotiations for an expansion of the License Agreement. The new terms expand the field-of-use from drugs of abuse and anabolic steroids on urine samples to include all possible diagnostic uses for saliva and urine. The royalty rate payable to the USN is 3% on the technology-related portion of the disposable cassette sales and 1% on instrument sales. The minimum royalty payment for calendar year 2001 and 2000 is $50,000 and $100,000, respectively. Minimum royalty payments are $100,000 a year thereafter. No amounts were paid or due for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
NOTE 5 Stockholders' Equity
On June 20, 2001, the Company sold, at $35,000 per Unit, to eleven investors (including three of the purchasers of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock) an aggregate of 228.007 Units, each Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of a newly-designated series of the Preferred Stock designated the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") and a Warrant expiring June 19, 2006 (i.e., the "Investor Warrant") to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), at $3.50 per share.
430,000 shares of the 3,000,000 authorized shares of the Company's Preferred Stock have been designated as the Series C Preferred Stock in order to cover not only the original sale by the Company, but also subsequent sales during the 90 days after the original issuance on June 20, 2001. On June 29, 2001, an additional 85.713 Units were sold to the Series B Preferred Stock investors as described above. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2001, there were outstanding an aggregate of 313,720 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and Investor Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,137,200 shares.

NOTE 5 - Stockholders' Equity (continued)
On September 28, 2001, the Company closed on an additional 80.196 Units at the same purchase price per Unit to sixteen accredited investors in the final closing of this private placement. As a result, the Company, as of that date, had sold an aggregate of 393.916 Units for gross proceeds of $13,787,085. There were outstanding, as of September 30, 2001, 393,916 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and Investor Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,939,160 shares of the Common Stock.
Pursuant to an escrow agreement, 50% of the proceeds, the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Investor Warrants are held in escrow, 50% of the escrowed proceeds, stock and warrants to be released upon achievement by the Company of each of the following two milestones:
- (i) confirmation that the Company has sold at least an additional 57 Units for an aggregate of at least 370.720 Units, which was completed on September 28, 2001, and (ii) receipt of validation from an independent third party, which is selected by 70% of the holders owning 42,857 shares or more of the Series C Preferred Stock, that the IMPACT Test SystemTM produces data and functions as expected to be outlined in a 510(k) application to be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration, both milestones to be achieved on or prior to December 31, 2001, and
- confirmation that the Company has received bona fide orders for the sale of theIMPACT Test System in an amount not less than $250,000 on or prior to March 31, 2002.
Any holder of the Series C Preferred Stock may, at any time, waive compliance with either of the milestone requirements, which action will release from escrow the corresponding proceeds to the Company and securities to the investor. A holder when acquiring the Units may also waive the escrow. Purchasers of 37.625 of the 80.196 Units at the closing held on September 28, 2001 waived having their shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, their Investor Warrants and their purchase price amounts held in escrow. The second milestone does not become operational unless the first milestone is achieved or the holders whose securities are still held in escrow therewith waive compliance. Upon non-achievement of a milestone, a holder can request that its purchase price then held in escrow be refunded to the holder. In such event the related shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Investor Warrant or Warrants would be cancelled.
By agreement dated August 16, 2001, the Company and the investors unanimously agreed that in exchange for a deletion of a quarterly price reset for the warrant exercise price, which the Company felt was the basis for the heavy shorting of the Common Stock during the two months following the initial close, the following changes would be made:
(a) with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock:
(i) the initial conversion price becomes $3.00 (the then market price of the Common Stock);
(ii) a share is convertible into 11.67 shares of the Common Stock and not 10 shares (effective change of $3.50 price to $3.00); and
(iii) unanimous consent, not a majority consent, would be required to any changes in the future.

(b) with respect to the Investor Warrant:
(i) the exercise price was reduced to $3.00 per share (the then market price of the Common Stock);

(iii) the provision requiring quarterly resets of the exercise price during the first year if the market price of the Common Stock was less than the then exercise price was deleted (in exchange for the change in the conversion price) .
The changes will be effected by a contractual commitment with the Series C investors by the Company to honor conversions on the basis set forth above.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General
The Company is a medical technology company that has designed, is manufacturing, and expects to soon be marketing theImpactTest System - a rapid diagnostic testing, screening, and therapeutic drug monitoring device for use in the workplace, home health care, ambulances, pharmacies and law enforcement. The Company is focused on the commercialization of the flow immunosensor technology licensed from the USN. This patented technology, when used in conjunction with the Company's own patented and proprietary technologies using saliva as a non-invasive test specimen, has allowed for the development of a broadly applicable non-invasive, rapid, on-site diagnostic test system. The first product being commercialized is for the simultaneous detection of drugs of abuse and alcohol, estimated to be over a $1.6 billion market by 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company is a development stage enterprise with no earnings history. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to research and development and has experienced an ongoing deficiency in working capital. The Company does not anticipate generating revenue from product sales until the end of the fourth quarter of 2001 at the earliest. There can be no assurance as to when the Company will achieve profitability, if at all.
Because the Company has not produced any revenues as a result of its being a development stage company, it has been dependent, since gaining its independence from its former parent in October 1997, on the net proceeds derived from six private placements pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),to fund its operations. The succeeding three paragraphs describe the private placements in Fiscal 2000 and 2001.
On February 29 and March 14, 2000, the Company closed as to the sales at $5,000 per Unit of an aggregate of 1,840 units, each unit consisting of 2,500 shares of the Common Stock and an Investor Warrant expiring February 28 or March 13, 2005 to purchase 2,500 shares of the Common Stock at $3.00 per share. The Company realized $9,200,000 in gross proceeds. Finder's fees were paid to various consultants and bankers for their assistance in helping the Company to complete this private placement consisting of an aggregate of $604,706 in cash fees and Finder's Warrants expiring March 13, 2005 to purchase an aggregate of 273,075 shares of the Common Stock at $3.00 per share. The Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement, File No. 333-65536 (the "Registration Statement"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2001 for the stockholders holding Common Stock and warrants from this private placement.
As a result of the $9,200,000 in gross proceeds realized in the Company's private placement closed in February and March 2000, management believed, as the Company had previously announced, that the Company had sufficient funds to complete the commercialization of its testing product and bring the same to market. However, as the Company had also previously reported, the Company also required additional funds to bridge the gap between the time theImpact Test System was first brought to market and the time the resultant revenues from sales of such product will result in profitability. As reported in Item 1 to this Report, in September 2001, the Company closed a private placement offering and realized approximately $13,000,000 in net proceeds from the sale of 393.916 Units, each Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and a Series C Warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of the Common Stock, subsequently amended as described in Note 5 to the financial statements. The Company had previously realized $3,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of 75,000 shares of the then designated Series B Preferred Stock; however, the $3,000,000 purchase price was used to purchase Units and the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were cancelled and the Common Stock purchase warrants surrendered. As a result, management believes that the net proceeds from the two offerings, in conjunction with a portion of the exclusive marketing fee from CMI, will be sufficient to enable the Company to reach the period when the Company can reasonably expect to achieve profitability. However, if there are any additional delays in the Company meeting its timetable, the Company may require additional funding. In addition, because approximately 50% of the proceeds from the offering are held in escrow against the achievement by the Company of certain designated milestones, the Company could have to refund some or all of these proceeds held in escrow.
Management believes that, with the net proceeds from the private placement described in the preceding paragraphs and the fees to be paid as described in the succeeding paragraph, the Company has sufficient funds to complete commercialization, generate field trials and pilot studies, initiate marketing and reach profitability, expected to occur five quarters post product introduction. There can be no assurance that management's estimate as to costs and timing will be correct. Any delays may further increase the Company's costs.
The Company has entered into a strategic partnering agreement with CMI, Inc. ("CMI") to distribute the Company's products exclusively to the law enforcement market. As part of this agreement, CMI will make payments of approximately $5 million to LifePoint over a two and one-half year period. Additionally, the Company continues to pursue additional strategic partnering; several large corporations have expressed their initial interest in partnering with the Company. Management anticipates that an additional partnering agreement may be completed; however, there can be no assurance when and if such arrangement will be made.
Management has investigated the possibility of an underwritten public offering and has received expressions of interest from several well-known firms, but only on a post-revenue basis. However, because the market currently is not generally receptive to public offerings, there can be no assurance that stock market conditions later in 2001 or 2002 will be receptive to a public offering by the Company, especially in view of the general volatility of the financial markets in 2000 and 2001. In addition, competitive conditions in the substance abuse testing industry at that time may make the Company less attractive to potential public investors. See the section "Competition" under the caption "Business" in the Annual Report.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional financing, whether through a capital leasing firm, a strategic partner, a public offering or a private placement.
If all of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,757,171 shares of the Common Stock which were outstanding on September 30, 2001 were subsequently exercised, the Company would realize up to $36,378,766 in gross proceeds. If all of the Options pursuant to the two Stock Option Plans to purchase an aggregate of 2,271,887 shares outstanding on September 30, 2001 were subsequently exercised, the Company would realize up to $6,551,458 in gross proceeds. However, there can be no certainty as to when or if any of these securities will be exercised, especially as to the Options and certain of the Warrants that were not all currently exercisable as of September 30, 2001. In addition, there may be cashless exercises with respect to certain of the Options and Warrants. Accordingly, management believes that the Company cannot rely on these exercises as a source of financing.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 (2nd quarter) vs. Three Months ended June 30, 2001 (1st quarter).
During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company spent $1,937,738 on research and development and an additional $1,069,815 on selling, general and administrative expenses, as compared with $1,625,995 and $765,544, respectively, during the last fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase of $311,743, or 19%, in research and development expenditures in the 2nd quarter as compared to the 1st quarter was primarily attributable to increased costs for pilot manufacturing and costs associated with clinical trials for theIMPACT Test System. During the 2nd quarter general and administrative expenses increased $304,271, or 40% over the 1st quarter, as the Company geared up for its product launch with additional personnel hires in customer service, technical support, marketing and sales in addition to ad placements, and the development of marketing and sales materials.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 vs. September 30, 2000
During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company spent $1,937,738 on research and development and an additional $1,069,815 on selling, general and administrative expenses, as compared with $1,184,039 and $525,407, respectively, during the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The increase of $753,699, or 63.7%, in research and development expenditures in 2001 was primarily attributable to the initiation of pilot manufacturing and clinical trials for theIMPACT Test System. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $525,407, or 103.6%, as the Company prepared for its product launch with additional personnel hires in customer service, technical support, marketing and sales in addition to ad placements, marketing and sales materials, and attendance at various tradeshows. The Company is also continuing its lobbying efforts through the presentation of technical papers and working with various governmental agencies to set standards for the approval of a saliva-based ev idential instrument.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2001 vs. September 30, 2000
During the six months ended September 30, 2001, the Company spent $3,563,733 on research and development and an additional $1,835,359 on selling, general and administrative expenses, as compared with $2,281,463 and $976,292, respectively, during the six-month period ended September 30, 2000. The increase of $1,282,270, or 56.2%, in research and development expenditures in 2001 was primarily attributable to the initiation of pilot manufacturing and clinical trials for theIMPACT Test System. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $859,067 or 87.9%, of which $614,250 was the result of an increase in sales and marketing expense. The increase represented the Company's preparation for product launch with additional personnel hires in customer service, technical support, marketing and sales in addition to ad placements, marketing and sales materials, and attendance at various tradeshows.
From inception on October 8, 1992 to September 30, 2001, the Company has spent $18,029,334 on research and development and $9,572,803 on selling, general and administrative expenses. Management fees paid to the former parent aggregated an additional $2,089,838 during such period.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risk and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements reflect management's current views that the necessary financing will be available, if needed, to bridge the gap between product launch and the attainment of profitability, that the product will be commercialized at the contemplated cost and within the projected timetable, that, during the interim period before the Company begins marketing, competitors will not begin to market a competitive saliva-based testing product and that the other risks described in the Annual Report and other filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission will not materially adversely affect the Company's operations. Because there can be no assurance that management's expectations will be realized, actual results may differ.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Reference is made to Item 3 of the Annual Report for information with respect to the legal action instituted by Global Consultants, LLC.
