Independent Auditors' Report
We have audited the balance sheet of I. E. S. Electronics Industries U. S. A., Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit. The financial statements of I. E. S. Electronics Industries U. S. A., Inc. as of December 31, 2000 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 19, 2001, expressed an unqualified opinion of those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion
In our opinion, the 2001 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of I. E. S. Electronics Industries U. S. A., Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
I. E. S. Electronics Industries U. S. A., Inc. ("the Company") originally, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of I. E. S. Electronics Industries, Ltd., an Israeli company. During calendar year 2000, I. E. S. Electronics Industries, Ltd., formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Interactive Millennium, Ltd. ("Interactive"). Subsequent to the formation of Interactive, I. E. S. Electronics Industries, Ltd., transferred its ownership interest in the Company to Interactive (the "Parent Company"). The Company, which was incorporated in Delaware on November 9, 1995, sells and services state-of-the-art interactive simulation training systems to law enforcement agencies that are predominately based in the United States. The systems are manufactured by the Parent Company and exported to the Company for resale. The Company is economically dependent on the Parent Company to provide the systems, which to date have comprised the majority of the Company's sales.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period from November 9, 1995 through December 31, 2001, the Company accumulated net losses of $3,037,348. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company used cash in operating activities of approximately $323,000, and had liabilities in excess of its assets of approximately $2,210,000. Additionally, as shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has current year net losses of $796,862 and $1,583,242 for the years ending December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The absence of a demonstrated and consistent period of profitability raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and generate adequate cash flow during the year ending December 31, 2002.
As more fully described in Note 3, the Parent Company made an election to convert debt into common stock, and effect a quasi reorganization whereby, effective December 31, 2001, its balance sheet amounts are carried at fair value, and the readjustment allows for an offset to retained earnings to the full extent of the balance of retained earnings (deficit). Consequently, retained earnings at year-end are zero, the additional capital injection made by the Parent Company is reflected as additional paid-in capital, and the accounting in the future will be similar to that appropriate for a new enterprise. Management's plans also include generating future profitable operations through increased revenue, resulting from the growing acceptance of the Company's products, and decreased expenses, particularly as a result of the movement of production to the U. S. from Israel. The inability of management to implement some or all of these initiatives could result in the possible discontinuance of the Company's operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
In 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 101. Accordingly, revenue from product sales to end-users is now recognized when title passes, which for shipments to certain foreign countries is subsequent to product shipment. Title for these shipments ordinarily passes within a week of shipment. This accounting change did not materially impact the Company's results of operations for 2001. The Company recognizes extended warranty revenue under the straight-line method over the term of the Post Contract Support (PCS) agreement based upon historical evidence. Training revenue is recognized as services are performed.
10
The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, (FAS 121) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, management believes there was no impairment of the Company's long-lived assets.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Differences from those estimates are recorded in the period they become known.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted collateral deposits are invested in certificates of deposit and are used as security for a sales contract the Company signed with the Royal Thai Army on September 28, 2001. One $222,930 certificate of deposit matures in August 2002 and the other two totaling $107,815 mature in August 2003.
The Company periodically maintains cash balances at a commercial bank in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $100,000. The Company sells its products to various customers consisting primarily of law enforcement agencies located throughout the United States, in Europe and Asia. Consistent with industry practices, the Company generally does not require collateral when it establishes credit with its customers. Reserves are provided for estimated amounts of accounts receivable that may not be collected.
During 2000, one customer accounted for approximately 19% of the Company's gross sales revenue. Summary geographic sales information follows:

The Company's financial results are affected by a wide variety of factors, including rapid technological change, competitive pricing pressures and general economic conditions. The Company is exposed to the risk of obsolescence of its inventory depending on the mix of future business.
11
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising and promotional costs charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $148,133 and $190,992, respectively.
Inventory for resale is stated at the lower of cost or market based on the specific identification method. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, there was no reserve for potentially slow-moving and obsolete inventory; the net carrying value of its resale inventory was $701,940 and $170,038 respectively.
Demo inventory, which is stated at cost based on the specific identification method, is utilized by the Company to solicit new business through site demonstrations and equipment loans to prospective customers. These assets are not depreciated or amortized. Management believes the net carrying value of such assets is fully recoverable, principally through exchanges with the Parent Company or sales to independent third parties. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized a reserve of $39,000 and $20,000 resulting in a net carrying value of its demo inventory at $221,865 and $148,300, respectively.
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $33,179 and $26,906, respectively.
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Income Taxes: The Company provides for income taxes pursuant to the liability method as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The liability method requires recognition of deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using the enacted rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The only significant component of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities is the deferred tax asset attributable to its net operating losses. The Company's net operating losses of approximately $2,500,000 for income tax purposes, will expire in years 2011 through 2014.
A full valuation allowance has been recognized by the Company at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Currently there is no objective measurement of the Company's ability to generate sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate nature and character to provide reasonable assurance that the net deferred tax asset will be recoverable in a timely fashion.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, and other long-term liabilities approximates fair value at December 31, 2001 and 2000.The carrying value of all other financial instruments potentially subject to valuation risk, principally consisting of accounts receivable, were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.
12
In August 2001 the Company adopted Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, (FAS 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and the accounting and reporting provisions for the disposal of a segment of a business of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." The Company does not believe that the required adoption of FAS 144 in 2002 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Note 3. Related Party Transactions
At December 31, 2000, the Company had uncollateralized advances payable of $3,250,014 to the Parent Company, which did not bear interest.
The Company also had a promissory note for $1,394,700 payable to the Parent Company, the terms of which provided for payments of principal and 6% interest, payable in equal quarterly installments totaling $324,940 per year, over a period of five years commencing January 1, 2000.
The outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the note as of December 31, 2000 was $1,147,959 and $83,444, respectively.
By the end of calendar year 2001, the advances payable were $3,509,574 and the balance of the note payable was $953,017, for a total of $4,462,592. Effective December 31, 2001, the Parent Company made an election to convert $3,200,000 of the debt (plus the $83,444 accrued interest) into common stock, and to subordinate the balance of the loan ($1,262,592) to any subsequent third party financing obtained by the Company.
Inventories are generally purchased from the Parent Company at 55% of the Company's retail sales price. The Parent Company provides a right of return for damaged inventory items and extends a warranty on the products sold to the Company's customers. As part of its demonstration of continued financial support, the Parent Company reduced its inventory transfer pricing by 8% in calendar year 2001.
A summarized roll-forward of the 2001 and 2000 activity between the Company and the Parent Company is as follows:

Note 7. Employee Benefit Plan
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE), which covers substantially all employees. Contributions to the plan are fixed at 3%. The amounts funded are based on the employees elective deferrals. The Company contributed approximately $13,309 and $7,874 to the plan for the years ending December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Note 8. Common Stock Options
During January 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan, as adopted, provides for the reservation of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance pursuant to the Plan. Under the Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase common stock to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Generally, the options vest and may be exercised, as to1/3 (one-third) of the total options granted one year from the date of grant. Thereafter, the remaining options vest and may be exercised as to1/12(one-twelfth) of the shares subject to the option grant for each full quarter completed. The stock options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant, expire ten years from that date and are nontransferable.
During 1999, the Company granted 27,200 options to purchase shares of its common stock at $1.18 expiring on April 1, 2009. There were no options granted or exercised during the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

| | | |
The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1999 was $1.18 per share. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, effective for year 1999 for all issuances of stock options to non employees of the Company. The Company will continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for all issuances of stock to its employees. Generally, all stock options issued to the Company's employees, pursuant to the Plan, are non-compensatory. No compensation cost has been recognized to date. Generally, stock options granted during 1999 will not begin to vest until April 2000. There were no options granted during year 2001 and 2000, and the Company canceled 3,400 option shared due to employee terminations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
I. E. S. Electronics Industries U. S. A., Inc. ("the Company") originally, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of I. E. S. Electronics Industries, Ltd., an Israeli company. During calendar year 2000, I. E. S. Electronics Industries, Ltd., formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Interactive Millennium, Ltd. ("Interactive"). Subsequent to the formation of Interactive, I. E. S. Electronics Industries, Ltd., transferred its ownership interest in the Company to Interactive (the "Parent Company"). During 2002, Interactive changed its name from Interactive Millennium, Ltd. to IES. Interactive Training, Ltd. The Company, which was incorporated in Delaware on November 9, 1995, sells and services state-of-the-art interactive simulation training systems to law enforcement agencies that are predominately based in the United States. The systems are manufactured by the Parent Company and exported to the Company for resale. The Company is economically dependent on the Parent Company to provide the systems, which to date have comprised the majority of the Company's sales.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period from November 9, 1995 through December 31, 2001, the Company accumulated net losses of $3,037,348. The absence of a demonstrated and consistent period of profitability raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and generate adequate cash flow during the year ending December 31, 2002.
As more fully described in Note 3, the Parent Company made an election to convert debt into common stock, and effect a quasi reorganization whereby, effective December 31, 2001, its balance sheet amounts are carried at fair value, and the readjustment allows for an offset to retained earnings to the full extent of the balance of retained earnings (deficit). Consequently, retained earnings at December 31, 2001 are zero, the additional capital injection made by the Parent Company is reflected as additional paid-in capital, and the accounting in the future will be similar to that appropriate for a new enterprise. Management's plans also include generating future profitable operations through increased revenue, resulting from the growing acceptance of the Company's products, and decreased expenses, particularly as a result of the movement of production to the U. S. from Israel. The inability of management to implement some or all of these initiatives could result in the possible discontinuance of the Company's operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
In 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 101. Accordingly, revenue from product sales to end-users is now recognized when title passes, which for shipments to certain foreign countries is subsequent to product shipment. Title for these shipments ordinarily passes within a week of shipment. This accounting change did not materially impact the Company's results of operations for 2001. The Company recognizes extended warranty revenue under the straight-line method over the term of the Post Contract Support (PCS) agreement based upon historical evidence. Training revenue is recognized as services are performed.
22
The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. As of June 30, 2002 and 2001, management believes there was no impairment of the Company's long-lived assets.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Differences from those estimates are recorded in the period they become known.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted collateral deposits are invested in certificates of deposit and are used as security for a sales contract the Company signed with the Royal Thai Army on September 28, 2001. One $222,930 certificate of deposit matures in August, 2002 and the other two totaling $107,815 mature in August, 2003.
The Company periodically maintains cash balances at a commercial bank in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $100,000.
The Company sells its products to various customers consisting primarily of law enforcement agencies located throughout the United States, in Europe and Asia. Consistent with industry practices, the Company generally does not require collateral when it establishes credit with its customers. Reserves are provided for estimated amounts of accounts receivable that may not be collected.
In each of 2002 and 2001, approximately 46% and 13% of the Company's gross sales revenue resulted from one major customer, respectively. Summary geographic sales information follows:

The Company's financial results are affected by a wide variety of factors, including rapid technological change, competitive pricing pressures and general economic conditions. The Company is exposed to the risk of obsolescence of its inventory depending on the mix of future business.
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising and promotional costs charged to operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $10,306 and $9,633, respectively.
Inventories for resale are stated at the lower of cost or market based on the specific identification method. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, there was no reserve for potentially slow-moving and obsolete inventory; the net carrying value of its resale inventory was $807,408 and $207,384 respectively.
Demo inventory, which is stated at cost based on the specific identification method, is utilized by the Company to solicit new business through site demonstrations and equipment loans to prospective customers. These assets are not depreciated or amortized. Management believes the net carrying value of such assets is fully recoverable, principally through exchanges with the Parent Company or sales to independent third parties. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recognized a reserve of $-0- and $20,000 resulting in a net carrying value of its demo inventories at $255,255 and $148,300, respectively.
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $17,072 and $17,509, respectively.
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
The Company provides for income taxes pursuant to the liability method as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The liability method requires recognition of deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using the enacted rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The only significant component of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities is the deferred tax asset attributable to its net operating losses. The Company's net operating losses of approximately $2,500,000 for income tax purposes, will expire in years 2011 through 2014. A full valuation allowance has been recognized by the Company at June 30, 2002 and 2001. Currently there is no objective measurement of the Company's ability to generate sufficient future taxable income of the
24
appropriate nature and character to provide reasonable assurance that the net deferred tax asset will be recoverable in a timely fashion.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, and other long-term liabilities approximates fair value at June 30, 2002 and 2001. The carrying value of all other financial instruments potentially subject to valuation risk, principally consisting of accounts receivable, were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.
In August 2001 the Company adopted Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, (FAS 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and the accounting and reporting provisions for the disposal of a segment of a business of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." The Company does not believe that the required adoption of FAS 144 in 2002 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Note 3. Related Party Transactions
At December 31, 2000, the Company had uncollateralized advances payable of $3,250,014 to the Parent Company, which did not bear interest.
The Company also had a promissory note for $1,394,700 payable to the Parent Company, the terms of which provided for payments of principal and 6% interest, payable in equal quarterly installments totaling $324,940 per year, over a period of five years commencing January 1, 2000. The outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the note as of December 31, 2000 was $1,147,959 and $83,444, respectively.
By the end of calendar year 2001, the advances payable were $3,509,574 and the balance of the note payable was $953,017, for a total of $4,462,592. Effective December 31, 2001, the Parent Company made an election to convert $3,200,000 of the debt (plus the $83,444 accrued interest) into common stock, and to subordinate the balance of the loan ($1,262,592) to any subsequent third party financing obtained by the Company.
Inventories are generally purchased from the Parent Company at 55% of the Company's retail sales price. The Parent Company provides a right of return for damaged inventory items and extends a warranty on the products sold to the Company's customers. As part of its demonstration of continued financial support, the Parent Company reduced its inventory transfer pricing by 8% in calendar year 2001.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE), which covers substantially all employees. Contributions to the plan are fixed at 3%. The amounts funded are based on the employees elective deferrals. The Company contributed approximately $1,339 and $792 to the plan for the six month periods ending June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Note 8. Common Stock Options
During January 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan, as adopted, provides for the reservation of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance pursuant to the Plan. Under the Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase common stock to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Generally, the options vest and may be exercised, as to1/3 (one-third) of the total options granted one year from the date of grant. Thereafter, the remaining options vest and may be exercised as to1/12 (one-twelfth) of the shares subject to the option grant for each full quarter completed. The stock options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant, expire ten years from that date and are nontransferable. During 1999, the Company granted 27,200 options to purchase shares of its common stock at $1.18 expiring on April 1, 2009. There were no options granted or exercised during the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the purchase of assets and liabilities of I.E.S. Electronics Industries U.S.A., Inc. The total purchase price consisted of $3,000,000 in cash, $1,800,000 in promissory notes in nominal value and $3,654,000 in shares, which represented the market value of 3,250,000 shares of Electric Fuel's common stock at the date of the agreement. The purchase price also included $50,000 of transaction costs, consisting primarily of legal, accounting and valuation fees and $50,000 fair value of options and warrants.
Based upon a preliminary valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired, Electric Fuel has allocated the total cost of the acquisition to I.E.S.'s assets as follows (This allocation is for pro forma purposes only. Actual fair values will be based on financial information at the acquisition date):
