The Company, a New York corporation founded in 1967, sells, manufactures, and develops hardware and software for its aircraft flight tracking systems. The Company's primary product is the PASSUR (Passive Secondary Surveillance Radar) System. PASSUR is an integrated operations control and management system used by airlines at their dispatch and station control centers. In addition, major airports worldwide use the PASSUR as part of an integrated noise management and monitoring system. The PASSUR system receives aircraft identification and altitude information from aircraft transponder transmissions, which are interrogated by existing secondary surveillance radars without emitting any active signals. Received signals are processed in a standard workstation and displayed on a high resolution color graphics data display to provide real-time identification and tracking of aircraft in flight. The display presentation is similar to that provided to Air Traffic Controllers. The presentation of flight tracks can be in real time or can be switched to a mode that permits observance of historical data for selected time periods. A PASSUR system may be integrated to work with noise monitoring and measuring equipment in a configuration that will supply a correlation between aircraft location and noise levels generated by the aircraft. With this real-time information, an airport noise abatement officer can enforce the law regarding noise levels emitted by an aircraft. When used as part of an airport noise monitoring system, airport managers and noise control officers can correlate noise events in the local community with specific airline flight tracks. The integrated system is used by major airlines as a unique anticipatory operations decision making tool. The airlines application was developed to address a request by a major U.S. airline for use in its flight and airport operations management. The system tracks all airborne aircraft within a 150 mile radius of the airport. The Company's software, called PASTRACK, performs ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) calculations that predict accurately when arriving aircraft are expected to land. It also detects any holding patterns, assessing the impact of Air Traffic Control on an airport operation complex. By using the PASSUR information, an airline's Air Traffic Dispatcher and Station Manager can more accurately predict arrival times, enhancing customer service and gate management. The Company also sells radio modems. The SA-9600 is part of the AGILE DATA product line for wireless communication of voice and data. The SA-9600 operates synchronously or asynchronously, half or full duplex, with any host computer with an RS-232C serial port. An optional data compression feature supports host system baud rates of 38,400 bps when in the asynchronous mode. As a reliable means of both voice and data transfer, AGILE DATA is marketed primarily in third-world countries, where existing telephone data services are either poor or non-existent. The DC-powered SA-9600 enhances its suitability for mobile applications where 12/24/48vdc power is commonly available. The SA-9600/E is a modem-only version of the SA-9600 which provides radio data transmission capability using commonly available, off-the-shelf, external radios of the customer's choice. 2 The Company's experience with airline communication protocols such as SABRE, APOLLO, PARS, SITA, SYSTEM ONE, IPARS, DATAS II, PEGASUS, WORLDSPAN, GEMINI, and other airline network protocols led the Company to develop various reservation network access products for the airline industry. These include communication controllers and multiplexers which support multiple Interchange and Terminal Addresses (IAs & TAs) on a single host communication line, reducing CRS (Computerized Reservation System) host polling overhead and providing significant savings on telephone line charges and installation. Other communication products allow the use of public or private X.25 networks to transport reservation data to a computer reservation system. The Company has received certification for airline communication protocol products from the major airline reservation networks. In October 1998, the Company announced a Restructuring Plan which focused the future activities of the Company primarily on its PASSUR line of passive radar systems. The Company also began installing Company-owned PASSUR systems in strategic locations throughout the United States. This network of PASSURs, referred to as the PASSUR Network, provides the Company's customers access to PASSUR data by subscription. (B) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS. Not applicable. (C) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. The Company is a supplier of information, data services, software, and communication products intended to satisfy the needs of the aviation industry, primarily airlines and their affiliates, and airports. Its principal business is the design, manufacture, sale and service of its product line consisting of a real time aircraft monitoring system, as well as the delivery of data from such existing systems. In addition, the Company provides customized software to its aviation customers. 1. PRODUCTS. The Company's software and hardware are utilized in the following applications: (i) PASSUR The Company, under an exclusive license for patented technology owned by a third party, has used its proprietary hardware and software to develop an enhanced line of air traffic monitoring systems. This license agreement, which extends for the life of various patent expirations through the year 2010, is important in protecting the unique nature of the Company's PASSUR product line. These PASSUR (Passive Secondary Surveillance Radar) systems receive and process 3 aircraft identification from aircraft transponder transmissions interrogated by existing secondary surveillance radars. With this information available in real time, airline and airport officials can more accurately predict arrival times, enhancing operational efficiencies, customer service and gate management. Added benefits include more efficient scheduling of ground support operations, such as food, baggage, cleaning, and refueling services. When used as part of airport noise monitoring systems, airport managers and noise abatement officers can correlate noise events in the local community with specific airline flight tracks for appropriate action. (ii) Wireless Modem Communications The SA-9600 is part of the AGILE DATA product line of wireless radio modems, which communicate voice and data at speeds up to 28.8K bps. The SA-9600 operates synchronously or asynchronously, half or full duplex, with any host computer with an RS-232C serial port. Compatibility with the "AT" command set is built in. No software modification of the host system is necessary for any of the operating modes. Encryption of transmitted data is available for security purposes. A data compression feature increases throughput up to four times (38,400 bps) depending on the type of data transmitted. The new DC-powered SA-9600 enhances its suitability for mobile applications where 12/24/48vdc power is commonly available. A modem-only version is also available, allowing the SA-9600 to be used with off-the-shelf radio equipment that meet existing local regulatory or customer requirements. (iii) Airline Reservation Access Systems The Company's experience with ALC protocols, such as SABRE, SYSTEM ONE, PARS, IPARS, GEMINI, APOLLO and other airline network protocols has led to the development of various reservation access products for the airline reservation industry. Offering multi-user workstations with dual-screen displays and pop-up windows, MURS and RESNET controllers provide the lowest per-user-station cost in the industry. They allow up to 32 workstations and 8 printers to be interfaced to a single reservation system host communication line. MIAC (Multiple Interchange Address Concentrator) supports many separate interchange addresses on a single communication line. This increases an airline's CRS (Computerized Reservation System) efficiency by reducing both host polling overhead and the number of separate communication lines needed. ALCX.25 allows the use of public or private X.25 networks to transport reservation data to a computer reservation system. Configurable for either premise or host site operation, ALCX.25 converts installed user sites to X.25 without modification to existing user equipment. (iv) Custom Hardware and Software Activities The Company is occasionally involved in specialized research and development projects sponsored and paid for by customers. These projects involve the customization of the Company's standard products to suit specific customer requirements. 4 2. SERVICES. The Company offers maintenance services pursuant to contractual arrangements or an "on-call" basis. "On-call" services are provided on a time and material basis. 3. SOURCES OF RAW MATERIALS. The Company obtains its raw materials from component distributors and manufacturers throughout the United States. The Company has multiple sources of supply for a majority of its components. 4. DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN CUSTOMERS. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, three (3) customers (a major continental U.S airport, United Airlines, and Harris, Miller, Miller, and Hanson) accounted for 66% of revenue. Those three customers accounted for 40%, 13%, and 13%. The loss of any of these customers would have an adverse effect on the Company's business. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998, three (3) customers accounted for 52% of revenue. Those three PASSUR customers accounted for 28%, 14%, and 10%. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, three customers accounted for 63% of the Company's revenue. Those three customers accounted for 27%, 22%, and 14%. 5. BACKLOG. The Company's backlog for products and services at October 31, 1999 amounted to approximately $418,000, all of which is scheduled for delivery or performance before October 31, 2000. The backlog at October 31, 1998 and 1997 amounted to approximately $211,000 and $286,000, respectively. Backlog consists of written purchase orders or contracts. 6. COMPETITION. The Company is offering the PASSUR system for passive detection of aircraft in flight. These products are, to the best of its knowledge, relatively unique with little competition. Other products, such as the enhanced version of the wireless radio modems and some airline communication products offered by the Company fall into the category of highly competitive business. For modems and communication products, although price is a factor, the Company believes that design, technical and software capabilities in tailoring its products to customers' individualized needs are more important competitive factors in the market to which the Company directs its efforts. Depending on the end use of the products, the Company's primary competitors include Data Radio, Cylink, Dimensions International, Motorola, Memorex, and Videcom. The Company also sells to systems integrators, including Marconi Aerospace Defense Systems, Inc., Sabre Technologies, and Harris, Miller, Miller & Hanson, who also sell products which are competitive with those offered by the Company. Most of these companies are significantly larger than the Company, and have larger sales forces and greater financial resources. 5 7. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. The Company's Research and Development ("R&D") effort is focused on enhancing the Company's products primarily for software and hardware enhancements to PASSUR. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999 the Company incurred approximately $121,000 in expenditures for R&D, none of which was customer sponsored. In fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 approximately $122,000 was expended on R&D and in fiscal year 1997 approximately $147,000 was expended on R&D. 8. ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS. The Company is not aware of any environmental issues which would have a material adverse affect on future capital expenditures or business operations. 9. EMPLOYEES. As of October 31, 1999, the Company employs 14 full time employees including 5 officers. As of January 2000, the Company employs 15 full time employees including 6 officers.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES Revenue during fiscal year ended October 31, 1999 ("fiscal 1999") of $1,100,641 increased by $47,398, or 5%, as compared to the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 ("fiscal 1998"). The increase was due to additional revenue from most PASSUR related sales categories, which were offset by decreases in non-PASSUR related sales categories. Increases occurred in the following sales categories: PASSUR Systems, PASSUR Maintenance, PASSUR Upgrades, and Miscellaneous Sales. Decreases occurred in Service Sales, Radio Modems, Unix Systems, and Protocol Converters. The Company's PASSUR sales increased $245,310 during fiscal 1999. The Company also established a new program, PASSUR subscriptions, to sell monthly subscriptions for access to a PASSUR data feed. The Company shipped nine and installed six Company-owned PASSUR systems during the year, which are shown on the balance sheet as the "PASSUR network", and intends to sell the data to multiple users. With a record number of PASSUR installations made during fiscal 1999, a majority of them Company owned, management believes the revenue stream from PASSUR Subscriptions will increase steadily. Revenue during fiscal 1998 of $1,053,243 decreased by $425,709, or 29%, as compared to the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 ("fiscal 1997"). The decrease was due to a reduction in revenue in most of the sales categories of the Company. Decreases in revenues occurred in the following sales categories, PASSUR Systems, Radio Modems, and Protocol Converters. Minor increases in revenue resulted from PASSUR System maintenance contracts and repairs, as well as UNIX Systems. During fiscal 1998, Management increased sales and marketing efforts for the PASSUR product line and de-emphasized non-PASSUR related products. COST OF SALES Cost of sales in fiscal 1999 of $239,145 was lower than in fiscal 1998 by $690,874 despite higher production of PASSUR units, since nine of the units produced were transferred to fixed assets and therefore did not result as a charge to cost of sales. During fiscal 1998, cost of sales of $930,019 increased by $89,994, or 11%, over fiscal 1997. The major component of that increase was an inventory write-down of approximately $196,000 to reflect management's decision to focus on the PASSUR Systems product line and write down inventory on hand from several other slower moving product lines. Cost of sales decreased by approximately $90,000, before giving affect to the inventory write-down, as a result of lower revenues during fiscal 1998. 10 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company's research and development expenses remained at approximately the same levels, $120,536 in fiscal 1999 and $121,789 in fiscal 1998. Research and development costs were $147,383 in fiscal 1997. The Company anticipates continuing to incur research and development expenditures at current levels. Research and development efforts include activities associated with enhancement and improvement of the Company's existing hardware and software coupled with customer sponsored research and development expenditures for new product development. No customer sponsored research and development was conducted during fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998. Research and development expenses are funded through current operations. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE Selling, general and administrative expenditures of $1,015,448 increased by $381,206, or 60%, during fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998. Salaries, professional fees, consulting, travel, and advertising expenses accounted for most of the increase. Selling, general and administrative expenditures of $634,242 increased by $172,301, or 37%, during fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997, as the Company significantly increased sales and marketing for its major PASSUR System product line. Salaries, professional fees, consulting, travel, and advertising expenses accounted for most of the increase. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE In October 1998, the Company announced a Restructuring Plan in which it focused future efforts primarily on the PASSUR line of passive radar systems. As part of this restructuring, the Company moved its corporate headquarters and national sales office to Greenwich, Connecticut. The Company offered for sale its building in Bohemia, New York. The building was sold in October 1999 to an unaffiliated buyer, and the Company leased back 12,000 square feet at an annual rental cost of $72,000. The Restructuring Charges include idle plant costs of $93,000 related to the building, severance costs of $53,000, asset write-downs of $24,000 relating to assets to be sold or abandoned, and inventory write-downs of $196,000 associated with the write down of certain non-strategic inventory and product lines (which costs are included in costs of sales for fiscal 1998). INCOME TAXES The provisions for income taxes for each year relate to state and local minimum taxes. The Company has available approximately $6,000,000 in tax loss carryforwards to offset possible future income. The Company also has available $25,000 in general business tax credit carryforwards. These carryforwards expire in various amounts from 2006 through 2019. IMPACT OF INFLATION In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the operations of the Company including selling prices, capital expenditures, and operating expenses. 11 NET LOSS The Company incurred a net loss of $322,812, or $.13 per common share, during fiscal 1999, or $557,937 and $.22 per share less than the $880,749, or $.35 per common share loss incurred in fiscal 1998. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, costs and expenses of $1,375,129 were higher than total revenue and resulted in a loss from operations of $274,488. Total costs and expenses decreased by $481,061, or 26%, as compared to such costs in fiscal 1998 in large part due to the capitalization of the PASSUR network. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998, costs and expenses of $1,856,190 were higher than total revenue and resulted in a loss from operations of $802,947 after a restructuring charge of approximately $170,000 and an inventory write-down of approximately $196,000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At October 31, 1999, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by $354,629 and the Company incurred a stockholders' deficit of $14,854. For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss of $322,812 and has used $756,000 of cash in operating activities. Management is addressing this working capital deficiency, stockholders' deficiency and operating losses by aggressively marketing its PASSUR systems and by the recent introduction of the data subscription services. In addition, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing, and if such external financing is not consummated, the Company will receive the financial support of one of its stockholders. The Company was profitable for the last two quarters of fiscal 1999 and a continuation of this trend could lead to profitability in fiscal 2000 although no assurances can be provided in this regard. Since the increased sales effort began in August 1998, the Company has seen many positive signs that its PASSUR product line could provide additional revenue. With the Company's decision to establish a network of Company-owned PASSUR sites, additional revenue could be earned through its subscription services. However, increased competition, and continued budget constraints among its clients, could impact this potential revenue. Interest by potential customers in the Company's PASSUR systems remains strong and the Company anticipates an increase in future revenue. However, the Company cannot predict if such revenue will materialize. If sales do not increase, additional losses may occur and could continue. The extent of such profits or losses will be dependent on sales volume achieved. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS During the period between September 18, 1996 and June 6, 1997 the Company signed agreements with Mr. Gilbert (the "Investor"), now the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, that provided for three loans of $100,000 each, of which $200,000 was received by the Company in fiscal 1996 and $100,000 was received by the Company in fiscal 1997. The three notes bore interest at a rate of 9% per annum, and were payable by July 30, 1997. In addition, as part of the above financing, stock warrants were awarded for the purchase of up to 1,400,000 common shares at prices between $0.71 and $1.25 per share. The 12 warrants for 200,000 of such shares (at $0.75 per share) would only be exercisable after the purchase by the Investor of the first 700,000 shares. The warrant for the additional 500,000 of such shares (at $1.25 per share) becomes exercisable from November 1, 2000 through October 31, 2001, assuming the prior exercise of the 200,000 share warrant. On June 6, 1997, the Investor and his affiliates purchased 700,000 shares for $0.71 per share, for a total purchase price of $500,000 ($400,000 in cash and $100,000 by cancellation of the first $100,000 note). On October 31, 1997, the Investor and two other directors, Mr. Whitman and Mr. Graziani, purchased 200,000 shares for $150,000. The purchase of these shares made effective the stock purchase warrant that gives the Investor and his affiliates the right to purchase 500,000 shares at $1.25 per share. This warrant expires October 31, 2001, and is exercisable during the year preceding expiration. On July 30, 1997, the remaining notes totaling $200,000 were amended and restated by a new note bearing interest at 9% per annum, with quarterly payments of $25,000 plus accrued interest due on the last business day of each calendar quarter, commencing December 31, 1997, with any remaining balance being due July 30, 1999. The note is secured by the Company's assets excluding its building and was paid when due. During 1997, the Investor was elected a director of the Company and Chairman of the Board. On October 2, 1998, the Investor was named to the additional post of President and Chief Executive Officer. In fiscal 1999, the Investor loaned the Company an additional $1,125,000 in the aggregate under promissory notes bearing interest at 9% per annum and maturing at various dates from June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2001. The Company made payments of principal during the fiscal year totaling $175,000 due to the Investor. As of October 31, 1999, the total notes payable due to the Investor totaled $1,150,000 and are secured by the Company's assets. THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Company's internal systems and PASSUR hardware and software have been reviewed and found to be Year 2000 compliant. Since January 1, 2000, no Year 2000 problems have been reported by users of any of these systems. RISK FACTORS; FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The Management's Discussion and Analysis and the information provided elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (including, without limitation, in "Item 1. Business" as well as "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above) contain forward-looking statements regarding the Company's future plans, objectives, and expected performance. These statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, but are subject to a wide range of risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements referred to above. These factors include, among others, the uncertainties 13 related to the ability of the Company to make new sales of its PASSUR and other product lines due to potential competitive pressure from other companies or other products. Other uncertainties which could impact the Company are uncertainties with respect to future changes in governmental regulation affecting the product and its use in flight dispatch. Additional uncertainties are related to the Company's ability to find and maintain the personnel necessary to sell, manufacture, and service its products. ITEM 8.

F - 7 Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements October 31, 1999 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS Megadata Corporation (the "Company") is a supplier of information, data services, software, and communication products intended to satisfy the needs of the aviation industry, primarily airlines and their affiliates, and airports. Its product line includes: PASSUR (Passive Secondary Surveillance Radar) systems which monitor air traffic in real time: SA9600 Wireless Radio Modems: MURS, ALCX and RESNET airline reservation access systems; as well as customized hardware and software which enable the Company's products to fit its customers' specific requirements. BASIS OF PRESENTATION At October 31, 1999, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $355,000 and the Company incurred a stockholders' deficit of approximately $15,000. For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $323,000 and has used $756,000 of cash in operating activities. Management is addressing this working capital deficiency, stockholders' deficiency and operating losses by aggressively marketing its PASSUR systems and by the recent introduction of the data subscription services. In addition, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing, and if such external financing is not consummated, the Company will receive the financial support of one of its stockholders. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Megadata Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. F - 8 Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements October 31, 1999 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. PASSUR NETWORK PASSUR network installations are recorded at cost, net of depreciation of $2,689 in fiscal 1999. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is estimated at 7 years. F - 9 Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements October 31, 1999 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company follows the provisions of 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." This standard establishes the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and the excess of cost over net assets acquired, related to those assets to be held and used in operations, whereby impairment losses are required to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles that are expected to be disposed of. REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped. Service and maintenance revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the service contract period. Revenue for data subscription services are recognized pursuant to the specific arrangements with the customer and upon their receipt of the data. INCOME TAXES The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return. The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. F - 10 Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements October 31, 1999 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. NET LOSS/INCOME PER COMMON SHARE INFORMATION The Company reports basic and diluted net loss/income per common share in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Net loss per common share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Conversion of the common equivalent shares was not assumed since the result would have been antidilutive. DEFERRED INCOME Deferred income includes advances received on maintenance agreements and deposits from customers for equipment that will be shipped in the next fiscal year. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain fiscal 1998 and 1997 amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

NOTES PAYABLE--RELATED PARTY During the period between September 18, 1996 and June 6, 1997 the Company signed agreements with Mr. Gilbert (the "Investor"), now the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, that provided for three loans of $100,000 each, of which $200,000 was received by the Company in 1996 and $100,000 was received by the Company in 1997. The three notes bore interest at a rate of 9% per annum, and were payable by July 30, 1997. In addition, as part of the above financing, stock warrants were awarded for the purchase of up to 1,400,000 common shares at prices between $0.71 and $1.25 per share. The warrants for 200,000 of such shares (at $0.75 per share) would only be exercisable after the purchase by the Investor of the first 700,000 shares. The warrant for the additional 500,000 of such shares (at $1.25 per share) becomes exercisable from November 1, 2000 through October 31, 2001, assuming the prior exercise of the 200,000 share warrant. On June 6, 1997, the Investor and his affiliates purchased 700,000 shares for $0.71 per share, for a total purchase price of $500,000 ($400,000 in cash and $100,000 by cancellation of the first $100,000 note). On October 31, 1997, the Investor and two other directors, Mr. Whitman and Mr. Graziani, purchased 200,000 shares for $150,000. The purchase of these shares made effective the stock purchase warrant that gives the Investor and his affiliates the right to purchase 500,000 shares at $1.25 per share. This warrant expires October 31, 2001, and is exercisable during the year preceding expiration. On July 30, 1997, the remaining notes totaling $200,000 were amended and restated by a new note bearing interest at 9% per annum, with quarterly payments of $25,000 plus accrued interest due on the last business day of each calendar quarter, commencing December 31, 1997, with any remaining balance being due July 30, 1999. The note is secured by the Company's assets excluding its building and was paid when due. F - 14 Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements October 31, 1999 6. NOTES PAYABLE--RELATED PARTY (CONTINUED) During 1997, the Investor was elected a director of the Company and Chairman of the Board. On October 2, 1998, the Investor was named to the additional post of President and Chief Executive Officer. In fiscal 1999, the Investor loaned the Company an additional $1,125,000 in the aggregate under promissory notes bearing interest at 9% per annum and maturing at various dates from June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2001. The Company made payments of principal during the fiscal year totaling $175,000 due to the Investor. As of October 31, 1999, the total notes payable due to the Investor totaled $1,150,000 and are secured by the Company's assets. 7. LEASES Beginning in October 1999, the Company's manufacturing and research and development facility is located in leased space in Bohemia, New York, under a lease which expires in October 2002. Minimum rent under this agreement approximates $72,000 per year. This lease provides for additional payments of real estate taxes and other operating expenses over the minimum rental amount and has a renewal option for an additional three years at annual amounts in excess of the minimum annual rental per the original agreement. 8. RESTRUCTURING RELATED CHARGES In October 1998, the Company announced a Restructuring Plan which focused the future activity of the Company primarily on its PASSUR line of passive radar systems. As part of this restructuring, the Company moved its corporate headquarters and national sales office to Greenwich, Connecticut. The Company had offered for sale its building in Bohemia, New York and such sale was consummated in October 1999. F - 15 Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements October 31, 1999 8. RESTRUCTURING RELATED CHARGES (CONTINUED) The Restructuring Charges include exit costs of $93,000 related to the building, severance costs of $53,000, asset write-downs of $24,000 relating to assets to be sold or abandoned, and inventory write-downs of $196,000 associated with the elimination of certain nonstrategic inventory and product lines (which costs are included in cost of sales for the year ended October 31, 1998). 9. INSTALLMENT NOTES PAYABLE Installment notes payable represent notes due on financing of insurance premiums and equipment purchases bearing interest at 8.25%, 12.5%, and 13.6% per annum, with the final payments due November 2000, August 2001, and October 2002, respectively. 10. INCOME TAXES The Company's provision for income taxes in each year consists of current state and local taxes. At October 31, 1999, the Company has available a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $6,000,000 for income tax purposes which will expire in various years from 2006 through 2019. The Company has $25,000 of general business tax credit carryforwards available which expire in various years through 2008. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset which primarily consists of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit available. F - 16 Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements October 31, 1999 11. STOCK OPTIONS The Company's stock option plans provide for the granting of stock options for up to 302,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The option price per share is the fair market value at date of grant, except on the issuance of non-qualified options in which the option price is not less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares. Options granted may be exercised up to a maximum of ten years from the date of grant; however, individuals who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock must exercise their options within five years of the date of the grant and these options are exercisable at 110% of the fair market value of the shares. SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", defines a fair value method of accounting for the issuance of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies are encouraged, but are not required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based transactions. Companies are also permitted to continue to account for such transactions under Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB Opinion No. 25") but are required to disclose in a note to the consolidated financial statements proforma net income and per share amounts as if the Company had applied the new method of accounting. SFAS No. 123 also requires increased disclosures for stock based compensation arrangements. The Company has elected to comply with APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options because the alternate fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123 requires use of option valuation models which were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. F - 17 Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements October 31, 1999 11. STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED) In accordance with SFAS No. 123, pro forma information regarding net (loss) and net (loss) per common share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these stock options was estimated at the date of grant, using a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.0%, no dividend yields on the Common Stock, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's Common Stock of 1.217 in fiscal 1999 and 1.029 in fiscal 1998 and 1997, and a 9 year weighted average expected life of the options. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. In management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options due to changes in subjective input assumptions which may materially affect the fair value estimate, and because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options.
