Item 1 - Description of Business
- --------------------------------
(a) General Development of Business
-------------------------------
Megatech Corporation (Megatech or the Company) was established in
1970 and is engaged in the production and sale of educational training
programs and equipment in the energy power and transportation areas sold
domestically and internationally to educational institutions and government
agencies.
Megatech manufactures educational training equipment which consist of
modular technology workstations which are designed to provide students with
hands-on experience working with various technologies such as: automotive,
environmental, fiber-optic, microwave, laser, alternate energies,
electronic, personal computer kits and multi-media. In conjunction with the
educational equipment, Megatech produces over 200 video training programs
and student manuals which enable students to follow a self-paced self-
guided program to learn the technologies described above.
The Company competes with a number of major suppliers of school
training equipment and several small single product line companies through
the uniqueness of its products, and the quality of its training programs.
Most of the sales to states, cities, towns and school districts are the
results of having submitted sealed bids and having been awarded the sale
based on being the lowest bidder, directly or through independent sales rep
organizations.

for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. Two customers accounted for

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
and Results of Operation
------------------------
1998 Compared with 1997
-----------------------
Sales for 1998 decreased from the corresponding period of 1997 by $
0.25 million or 12%, to $1.8 million. This decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in overall sales volume. Domestic sales in 1998 were $ 1 million
or 54% of total sales, compared to $ 1.4 million or 67% of total sales in
1997. International sales in 1998 were $0.8 million or 46% of total sales,
compared to $ 0.7 million or 33% of total sales in 1997. The Company
believes that the decrease in overall sales is due to declining domestic
sales.
Gross profit for 1998 decreased from the corresponding period of 1997
by $0.15 million, or 17%, to $0.7 million. As a percentage of total sales,
gross profit was 39% and 41% for 1998 and 1997, respectively. Currently,
there are no known future increases in costs of materials, labor or other
price increases which could have an effect on sales other than normal
inflation increases.
Selling and marketing expenses for 1998 decreased from the
corresponding period of 1997 by approximately $ 0.2 million or 22% to $ 0.6
million. As a percentage of total sales, selling and marketing expenses
decreased to 34% for 1998 compared to 38% for 1997. The decrease is
primarily due to changes in marketing staff.
General and administrative expenses for 1998 decreased from the
corresponding period of 1997 by $.01 million, or 7% to $0.17 million. The
decrease in G & A expenses is the result of changes in office staff. As a
percentage of total sales, G & A expenses increased to 9.1% in 1998
compared to 8.7% in 1997.
Research and development expenses for 1998 remained relatively steady
in comparison to 1997 at $ .02 million. As a percentage of total sales, R
& D expenses also remained steady at 1.0% of sales in 1998 and 1997.
Loss from operations for 1998 as compared to the same period of 1997
decreased by $ .03 million. As a percentage of total sales, operating
losses decreased to 5.4% for 1998 compared to 6.2% for 1997. The operating
losses are a result of the factors indicated above.
1997 Compared with 1996
-----------------------
Sales for 1997 decreased from the corresponding period of 1996 by $
0.1 million or 5%, to $2.1 million. This decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in overall sales volume. Domestic sales in 1997 were $ 1.4
million or 67% of total sales, compared to $ 1.7 million or 78% of total
sales in 1996. International sales in 1997 were $0.7 million or 33% of
total sales, compared to $ 0.5 million or 22% of total sales in 1996. The
Company believes that the decrease in overall sales is due to declining
domestic sales.
Gross profit for 1997 decreased from the corresponding period of 1996
by $0.05 million, or 5%, to $0.9 million. As a percentage of total sales,
gross profit remained steady at 41% for 1997 and 1996. Currently, there
are no known future increases in costs of materials, labor or other price
increases which could have an effect on sales other than normal inflation
increases.
Selling and marketing expenses for 1997 increased from the
corresponding period of 1996 by approximately $ 0.01 million or 1% to $ 0.8
million. As a percentage of total sales, selling and marketing expenses
increased to 38% for 1997 compared to 36% for 1996. The increase is
primarily due to changes in marketing staff.
General and administrative expenses for 1997 decreased from the
corresponding period of 1996 by $.01 million, or 6% to $0.18 million. As a
percentage of total sales, G & A expenses remained steady at 8.7% for 1997
and 1996. The decrease of G & A expenses are a result of changes in office
staff.
Research and development expenses for 1997 decreased from the
corresponding period of 1996 by $.011 million, or 36% to $.02 million. As
a percentage of total sales, R & D expenses decreased to .95% for 1997
compared to 1.4% for 1996. The decrease of R & D expenses are a result of
a decrease in product development costs.
Loss from operations for 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996
increased by $ .03 million. As a percentage of total sales, operating
losses increased to 6.2% for 1997 compared to 4.3% for 1996. The operating
losses are a result of the factors indicated above.
Liquidity and capital resources
-------------------------------
Working capital at December 31, 1998 was $330,476 as compared to
$452,364 in working capital at December 31, 1997. The decrease was
attributable to the net loss for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The Company maintains a $ 100,000 line-of-credit agreement with a
bank. The line is collateralized by a security interest in substantially
all assets of the Company. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime
rate plus 1.5%. There were no borrowings outstanding on this line at
December 31, 1998.
There is no long term debt or other notes payable outstanding at
December 31, 1998.
Capital expenditures totaled approximately $7,000 in 1998 and $13,000
in 1997. No material purchase or capital commitments exist at December 31,
1998.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together
with the existing sources of debt financing, will be sufficient to meet
foreseeable cash requirements through 1999.
The Company is taking steps in 1999 to address Year 2000 readiness
regarding manufacturing operations and internal systems. Outside computer
consultants will be utilized to upgrade hardware and software required to
become Year 2000 compliant. The estimated cost of such upgrades is
approximately $15,000. In addition to internal systems upgrades, key
suppliers of raw materials for manufacturing operations will be contacted
to determine their readiness for Year 2000. In the event that a key
supplier experiences Year 2000 problems, the Company believes that it has
sufficient alternative suppliers to satisfy raw material needs.

MEGATECH CORPORATION
====================
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
--------------------
1. OPERATIONS
Megatech Corporation is engaged in the production and sale of
educational training programs in the energy, power and
transportation areas which are sold domestically and internationally
to educational institutions and government agencies. Inherent in
the line of business in which the Company is engaged, is the risk
of product line obsolescence due to technological advances. There
also exists the risk that certain customers, such as governmental
agencies, which are funded by tax revenues, may be subject to
budget reductions. The Company grants credit to its customers.
Approximately 46%, 33% and 22% of sales during the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, were from
international sales.
There were two customers which accounted for 26% of sales for the
year ended December 31, 1996. One customer accounted for 28% and
20% of sales for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of
sales in each of the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
Revenue from product sales are recognized upon shipment. Revenue for
maintenance and service and other revenues are recognized as the
services are performed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash and all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in-first-out
method) or market.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are computed principally on the straight-line method
for financial accounting purposes, and accelerated methods for tax
purposes, over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over
their respective lives or the lease terms, whichever is shorter.
Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense while costs
of significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Income Taxes
------------
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is
used to reduce deferred tax assets when it is "more likely than
not" that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized.

December 31, 1998. There were no borrowings outstanding on this

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has an agreement with Cramer Production Company, Inc.
(Cramer) of Norwood, Massachusetts to produce a series of
instructional video tapes supporting modular technology programs
offered by the Company. An officer/shareholder of Cramer is a
director of the Company. Cramer is responsible under the agreement
for all video production and video cassette reproduction. The
videotapes are exclusively marketed by the Company. The Company
provides scripts for the modules, technical representatives,
program materials and is also responsible for packaging, design and
promotion. Purchases from Cramer under this agreement, included in
cost of sales, were approximately $21,300, $30,200 and $28,900 for
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, sales to a related
entity were approximately $500 and $63,200. There were no such
transactions during the year ended December 31, 1998. Commissions
paid to the same entity were approximately $27,000, $26,000 and
$15,900 during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted a SIMPLE
IRA Plan (the Plan), which covers all employees who meet certain
requirements. Under the terms of the Plan, the Board of Directors
determines annually the amount of the matching contribution. The
matching contribution for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 were approximately $6,300 and $2,400, respectively.
10. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share has been computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential
common shares that were outstanding during the period. The Company
had a net loss for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996; therefore, none of the options outstanding at period end were
included in the diluted net loss per share calculation for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, since they were anti-
dilutive.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding is as follows:
Year Ended Number of
December 31, Shares
------------ ---------
1998 3,792,308
1997 3,790,122
1996 3,784,566
11. STOCK OPTIONS PLANS
The Company has issued stock options to various directors, officers,
employees and others under various stock option plans. Under the
terms of the plans, one third of the options become exercisable one
year from the date of grant, two thirds two years from the date of
grant and all options expire three years from the date of grant.
The following table summarizes stock option activity:
