PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Introduction and History
Vartech Systems Inc., formerly known as Richmond Capital Corporation, ("the
Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1988
for the purpose of raising capital and to seek out business opportunities
in which to acquire controlling interest.
PTR Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (PTR), acquired control of the
Company as of January 15, 1991 through the purchase of a majority of the
Company's common stock, representing 70.8% of the then-currently issued and
outstanding voting securities of the Company.
The Company remained a development-stage enterprise from inception through July
31, 1990, as it identified and evaluated acquisition opportunities. No
acquisition was made by the Company prior to July 16, 1991.
During the period from July 1991 through July 1997, the company pursued various
business opportunities and acquisitions including the repair and rebuilding of
computer disk drives, reselling of computer mainframe and other miscellaneous
ventures.
On July 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of 21st Century Professionals, Inc("21st"). At the closing
of this acquisition, Kim D'Albor, the former major shareholder of 21st, was
elected President of 21st Century Professionals and Director of the Company.
In addition, Brent J. Hedges, a former shareholder of 21st was elected
Vice-president and Secretary of 21st Century Professionals and Director of
the Company.
21st Century Professionals was incorporated in the state of Louisiana in 1993
and derived substantially all of its revenue from computer hardware and
software sales and computer related consulting services.
On May 4, 1999, the Company sold the stock of this subsidiary for $500 plus the
assumption of all the subsidiary's liabilities to a related party. At the time
of sale, liabilities exceeded assets by $129,739. As a result of the nature of
this transaction, the Company has reflected the gain as an increase to capital
in excess of par value.
Description of Business
VarTech Systems Inc. is an authorized reseller of computers and software. The
Company operates in three areas: i) Display segment - the repair and
refurbishment of industrial grade monitors and the manufacturing and selling
of the VarTech Displays line of industrial monitors; ii) Solution Integration
segment - computer consulting services which includes network design,
installation and software application development; iii) Network segment -
markets online computer training products and other Internet related services
including the development and maintenance of personal interactive webpages
through a network of independent consultants worldwide.
The Company's segments are strategic business units that provide differing
products and/or services along with different distribution methods. They are
managed separately because each business unit requires different employee
skills, product development and marketing strategies. The Company evaluates
the performance based on the profit or loss from operations before income taxes
and in the case of the network, on the size of the consultant base.
Marketing and Customers
The Company utilizes telephone solicitation, personal contact, direct mail, fax
broadcasting, industry specific advertising, the internet, and participates
in regional trade shows and expos to market itself and its services to its
customer base. VarTech's customer base is global and is comprised mainly of
large manufacturing operations in process control, pulp and paper, and food
processing along with utilities and military facilities. Through a network
of independent consultants worldwide, the Company markets online computer
training and the maintenance of personal interactive webpages.
Warranty and Customer Service
The Display unit of the Company provides a repair, replacement or full refund
warranty for one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of sale. There were
no significant warranty claims pending at July 31, 2001.
Employees
As of July 31, 2001, the Company employed forty people full-time including
four executive officers. Employee relations are considered good and the Company
has no collective bargaining contracts covering any of its employees.
Competition
The Company is involved in a market where many different companies provide the
same basic services. There is no dominant company engaged in providing the same
basic services as that of the Company.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company is headquartered in 15,746 square feet of leased office space in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana under a five year lease which expires November, 2004.
The Company's Display unit maintains a warehouse in 12,500 square feet of

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Managements' discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations includes statements covering all segments of the Company. Those
business units are the Display segment which focuses on the repair and
refurbishment of industrial grade monitors and the manufacturing and selling
of the VarTech Displays line of industrial monitors; the Solution Integration
segment which provides computer consulting services that includes network
design, installation and software application development; and the Network
segment which markets online computer training products and other Internet
related services including the development and maintenance of personal
interactive webpages.
Results of Operations
The Company's 2001 sales volume increased over 2000 by approximately $240,000
or 4%. The increase in sales for 2001 was a result of the greater focus
on the sale of Display units. The Display segment's increase in sales was due
to the continued introduction and expansion of the Company's new product line.
The income from continuing operations for 2001 is directly related to the
deemphasizing of personal computer sales, and the focus and concentration
on generating increased revenue from displays.
Company Cost of Sales
The cost of sales for the years ended July 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were 57%,
51% and 63%, respectively. Hardware and software costs decreased due to the
reduced focus on personal computer sales. The increase in overall cost of
sales was due to the Company's increased focus on new product sales which
carry a lower margin than repairs and refurbishment.
Other Operating Expenses
Selling expenses as a percentage of sales for the years ended July 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999 were 14%, 24% and 16%, respectively. Sales commissions for the
year ended July 31, 2000 were significantly higher due to the fact that
network segment sales, which have a higher commission rate than the other
segments, represented a larger percentage of overall sales.
Administrative and general expenses increased by $111,000 from 2000 to 2001;
however, as a percentage of sales it remained constant at approximately 24%.
This percentage should begin to decrease as the sales volume increases.
Interest expense increased from 2000 to 2001 due to an increase in outstanding
loan balances. The decrease from 1999 to 2000 was due to a reduction in
borrowing to finance inventory and receivables resulting from the decrease
in personal computer sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has $1,046,088 in current assets at July 31, 2001 and $599,856 in
current liabilites. The Company has lines of credit totaling $750,000, of
which $461,000 is available at July 31, 2001.
The Company believes its cash generated from operations, its ability to secure
short term working capital needs, and the prospects of increasing sales of
displays and online training will provide sufficient cash to meet current
working capital needs. Capital is typically provided primarily through cash
from operations and credit received from trade creditors and advances from
the established lines of credit. The working capital ratio improved to
1.72 in 2001 as compared to 1.19 in 2000.
There were capital expenditures for property and equipment during the fiscal
years ended July 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 totaling $1,500, $48,000 and $54,000.
No major capital expenditures are expected for fiscal 2002.
The Company had no long-term debt at July 31, 2001. The Company had $289,154
and $344,074 of advances against lines of credit at July 31, 2001 and 2000.
These funds were used to fund the purchase of products for sale and to finance
receivables. The Company does not anticipate the need for long-term
borrowing for fiscal year 2002.

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 United States generally accepted

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 VarTech Systems Inc. as of

VarTech Systems Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
July 31, 2001 amd 2000
Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies
Organization and description of business
VarTech Systems Inc. (the "Company" or "VarTech"), was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Colorado on April 5, 1988. In October 1989, the Company
completed a public offering of its common stock. PTR Capital Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, acquired control of the Company as of January 15, 1991,
through the purchase of a majority of the Company's common stock.
The Company's business is the repair and refurbishment of industrial grade
monitors and the manufacturing and selling of the VarTech Displays line of
industrial monitors. The Company also provides computer consulting services
which includes network design, installation and software application
development. The Company, through a distribution agreement, markets online
computer training products and other Internet related services including the
development and maintenance of personal interactive webpages.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at July 31, 2001 or
2000.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts
receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's
estimate of uncollectible accounts. At July 31, 2001 and 2000, all accounts
receivable were considered collectible and no allowance is considered
necessary.
Inventories
Inventories of merchandise held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or
market, with cost being determined by using the first-in, first-out method of
accounting for inventory. Inventories of the Company's educational product
licenses are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being
determined by using the specific identification method of accounting for
inventory.
F8
Property, equipment and depreciation
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using
straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful
lives range from five to ten years for the furniture, fixtures and equipment
and ten years for the leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale, retirement or other disposition of
these assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed and any gain
or loss on the disposition is included in income.
Goodwill and non-compete agreements
Goodwill arises in connection with business combinations accounted for as
purchases where the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets of
the acquired businesses. Goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over
a fifteen year period. The carrying value of goodwill paid in connection to a
past subsidiary acquisition was written down to $0 during 1999 upon the sale
of the Company's subsidiary (Note 2). The deferred cost of the non-compete
agreements was amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
agreements (Note 2).
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when
considered necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to
be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus or
minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Use of estimates - general
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States
generally accepted accounting principals 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Treasury stock
The Company uses the cost method of accounting for the aquisition or disposition
of the Company's own stock.
Stock options and compensation
The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with the provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for stock issued to employees", and related
pronouncements. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of
grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the
exercise price. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized compensation
F9
expense for its options granted during the periods presented. The Company
has adopted the disclosure provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting
for stock-based compensation". These disclosure provisions allow entities to
continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 if accompanied by
disclosure of pro forma earnings and earnings per share calculations for
employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in FASB
Statement No. 123 had been applied.
Advertising and promotion
The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the
advertising takes place. Advertising and promotion expense totaled $19,489,
$12,767 and $9,231 for the years ended July 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
Revenue recognition policy
Income is earned and recognized when the goods are delivered, services are
performed, licenses are sold, or webpages are developed and collection is
reasonably assured and no further obligation of the Company exists. The
company uses the percentage-of-performance method for recognizing revenue on
its long-term service and system implementation contracts. Under this method,
revenue that is recognized on a particular contract is proportional to the
ratio of costs incurred to date on the associated project to the estimated
total cost of the project. As of July 31, 2001 and 2000 there were no long-term
service or system implementation contracts in progress.
Note 2 - Business combinations, acquisitions and dispositions
On June 30, 1997, the Company purchased 21St Century Professsionals, Inc.,
(21St Century or Subsidiary), by exchange of stock valued at $100,000. The
transaction, effective July 1, 1997, was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price, plus expenses
associated with the acquisition, over the fair value of identifiable tangible
and intangible assets was allocated to goodwill.
On June 30, 1997, 21St Century entered into employment agreements with its
three former stockholders. Each agreement established separate base salaries
as well as other provisions of employment and included certain non-compete
covenants. The employment provisions were scheduled to expire on June 30, 2002.
One of these former 21St Century stockholders resigned during the year ended
July 31, 1998, effectively terminating his agreement. Another of the former
21St Century stockholders renegotiated his employment agreement during the year
ended July 31, 1999, terminating the original agreement. Payments under the
third agreement, with established monthly payments of $10,000, were suspended
in April 1999, following the filing of a lawsuit by the employee against the
Subsidiary and the Company as more fully described in Note 10. Amortization of
the deferred costs and payments under these non-compete obligations totaled
$90,000 for the year ended July 31, 1999.
F10
On May 4, 1999, the Company sold the stock of this Subsidiary for $500 plus the
assumption of all the Subsidiary's liabilities to a related party. At the time
of sale, liabilities exceeded assets by $129,739. As a result of the nature of
this transaction, the Company has reflected the gain as an increase to capital
in excess of par value for the year ended July 31, 1999.
Note 3 - Deposits
Included in deposits at July 31, 2000 was $100,000 held by an
underwriter in connection with a contemplated secondary offering of the
Company's securities. During the year ended July 31, 2001,the financial services
firm applied this deposit to various investment banking services provided to the
Company including general financial and strategic advice on the Company's
current business model and assistance in evaluating potential mergers and
acquisitions. Accordingly, the Company has recognized this amount as a
consulting service expense during the year ended July 31, 2001.
Note 4 - Net income per share
Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number
of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each year.
Common share equivalents represent shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of
stock options and warrants. The stock options and warrants are included in the
computation using the treasury stock method if they would have a dilutive
effect. Common share equivalents are not considered in calculations of per
share data when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The composition of
basic and diluted net income per common share is summarized as follows:
Net Weighted Per
Income Average Share
Shares Amount
------- -------- ------
July 31, 2000 - Net income per
common share - basic $140,452 1,987,808 $ .07
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock Options - 30,541 -
-------- --------- -------
July 31, 2000 - Net income per
common share - diluted $140,452 2,018,349 $ .07
======== ========= =======
For purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, there were no common
stock equivalents at July 31, 2001 or 1999.
Note 5 - Stock options
The former stockholders of 21St Century were granted options to purchase 400,000
shares of VarTech common stock at an option price of $2.50 per share. Of these
options, 40,000 expired upon the resignation of one of the three former
stockholders (Note 2) during the year ended July 31, 1998. The remaining
options, exercisable only if certain performance criteria of 21St Century were
F11
met, were effectively canceled upon the disposition of the Subsidiary during
the year ended July 31, 1999. The performance criteria was not met during any
of the years under the agreement.
During the year ended July 31, 1999, as consideration for financial and
consulting services provided to VarTech, the Company granted options to
purchase 150,000 shares of the Company stock to the CEO and majority
shareholder at an exercise price of $1.00. These options were exercised
during the year ended July 31, 1999.
On November 1, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a Stock Option and Purchase
Plan which authorizes the Company's CEO and majority shareholder to grant
options to employees of the Company to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock. The plan allows for options to be granted in recognition of services
performed and as an incentive for future performance and are limited to
200,000 shares per employee per year. Accordingly, options to purchase
245,000 shares of the Company's common stock were granted to 5 key employees
(including 100,000 share options granted to the CEO and majority shareholder)
during the year, at an exercise price of $1.25. If unexercised, this option
group is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2004.
The following summarizes information about stock options outstanding and
exercisable for the years ended July 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001:
Weighted

=========== =========== ========
The stock options described above were issued with exercise prices determined
by the Company's Board of Directors to be equal to, or greater than, the fair
value of the Company's common stock on the respective grant dates. Accordingly,
no compensation expense was recognized under the reporting requirements
of SFAS No. 123 and there was no effect on pro forma net income, as computed
under this statement, for the periods presented.
F12
Note 6 - Treasury stock
During the year ended July 31, 2000, the Company repurchased 150,000 shares of

Draws against a $50,000 unsecured credit
line payable on demand with monthly
interest payments at 9.50%. - 45,117
--------- ---------
$ 289,154 $ 344,074
========= =========
In connection with the $600,000 credit line above, the bank has issued a
stand-by letter of credit in the amount of $150,000 in favor of one of
the Company's vendors. The stand-by letter of credit is scheduled to expire
July 31, 2002. As of July 31, 2001, no advances had been made from this
credit facility. Advances, if any, will be subject to similar borrowing
limitations as described above.
The Company also has access to an additional $50,000 credit line with a bank.
As of July 31, 2001 and 2000 no advances had been made from this
credit facility.
Note 8 - Long-term debt and gain on release of debt
Upon execution of the sub-lease agreement specified in Note 10, the Company
agreed, in addition to the monthly rent, to make payments to the sub-lessor
in connection with the purchase of furniture and equipment at the Company's
office and warehouse space located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The unsecured
obligation was payable in monthly installments of $5,000, including imputed
interest at 9%, through May 1, 2001. The balance of this obligation totaled
$105,267 at July 31, 1999. During the year ended July 31, 2000, the sub-lessor
filed for bankruptcy and negotiated a lease cancellation agreement with the
landlord effectively terminating the payment arrangement between the Company
and sub-lessor. As a result, the Company recognized a gain from the release
of this debt in the amount of $105,267.
F13
Note 9 - Other related party transactions
During the year ended July 31, 2000, the Company made advances to the CEO and
majority shareholder totaling $22,500. These advances, recorded as accounts
receivable at July 31, 2000, were paid by the shareholder during the year ended
July 31, 2001. Additionally, this shareholder was paid salary and consulting
fees during the years ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, totaling $247,500 and
$227,500, respectively, for services performed.
Note 10 - Commitments and contingencies
Legal proceedings
As mentioned in Note 2, a former employee and past president of 21St Century
(and also a current stockholder of the Company) filed a lawsuit against
21St Century, the Company and the majority stockholder of the Company during
the year ended July 31, 1999. The past employee asserts that he is entitled
to enforce the payments due to him under the non-competition agreement contained
in the agreement of employment as outlined in Note 2. Although no dollar
amount has been specified, the past employee seeks damages estimated by
management and legal counsel at $1,150,000 stemming from the non-payment of a
portion of his salary and the remaining scheduled non-compete payments. The
suit is currently in preliminary discovery and legal counsel for the Company
has estimated, in their opinion at this stage of the lawsuit, the probable
outcome to be that the Company will have no liability under the lawsuit.
Accordingly, no loss accrual has been made in the financial statements at
July 31, 2001 or 2000.
Operating leases
Beginning September 1997, the Company leased its office and warehouse under a
sub-lease scheduled to expire August 2002 (Note 8). Due to the declining
financial position of the sub-lessor, the Company suspended all lease payments
due under the sub-lease from the period beginning August 1999 through November
1999, at which time the Company was released from obligation under this lease.
The Company negotiated a new lease directly with the landlord. The following
summarizes the Company's current obligations under long-term leases at
July 31, 2001:

Rent paid or accrued under these leases, the former sub-lease and other
short-term office space leases including common maintenance charges associated
with each lease during the years ended July 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 totaled
$300,198, $255,950 and $236,958, respectively.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement # 13
regarding operating leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable lease
terms in excess of one year, the accompanying financial statements reflect
rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases.
This straight-line rent adjustment resulted in reductions to rent expense of
$0, $20,632 and $643, for the years ended July 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
Future minimum payments, by year and in the aggregate, under noncancellable

Note 16 - Segment Information
The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which
establishes standards for additional disclosure about operating segments for
annual financial statements. This standard requires financial and descriptive
information be disclosed for segments whose operating results are reviewed by
the chief executve officer for decisions on resource allocation. As such,
the Company has three reportable segments:
Display segment - repair and refurbishment of industrial grade monitors
and manufacturing and selling of the VarTech Displays line of
industrial monitors;
Consulting segment - computer consulting services which includes network
design, installation and software application development.
Network segment - markets online computer training products and other
internet related services including the development and maintenance
of personal interactive web pages.
The accounting policies of the individual segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company
evaluates the performance based on the profit or loss from operations before
income taxes and in the case of the network, on the size of the consultant
base.
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that provide
differing products and/or services along with different distribution methods.
They are managed separately because each business unit requires different
employee skills, product development and marketing strategies.
