NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared from the
records of our company without audit and have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all the information and notes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at June 30, 2002 and the interim results
of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 have been
included. The balance sheet at December 31, 2001, presented herein, has been
prepared from the audited financial statements of our company for the year then
ended.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The December
31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 inventories are reported at market value. Inventories
have been valued on the basis that they would be used, converted and sold in the
normal course of business. Certain accrued expenses are based upon an analysis
of future costs expected to be incurred in meeting contracted obligations. The
amounts estimated for the above, in addition to other estimates not specifically
addressed, could differ from actual results; and the difference could have a
significant impact on the financial statements.
Accounting policies followed by us are described in Note 1 to the audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted for purposes of the interim
financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year
ended December 31, 2001, which are included in the our Form 10-K Annual Report
Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Since a loss from operations exists, a diluted earnings per
share number is not presented because the inclusion of common stock equivalents,
consisting of Series A and B preferred stock, unexercised stock options and
warrants, would be anti-dilutive.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
interim financial statements and the notes thereto in Part I, Item I of this
Quarterly Report and with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The matters addressed in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, with the exception of the historical information presented contains
certain forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks discussed in this
Item 2 and specifically discussed in this report under the heading "Certain
Factors That May Affect Future Results" following this Management's Discussion
and Analysis section, and elsewhere in this report.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates
and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial
condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Actual results
could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and
conditions. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the
Company's most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most
important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results. The
Company constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments
where facts and circumstances dictate. Historically, actual results have not
significantly deviated from those determined using the necessary estimates
inherent in the preparation of financial statements. Estimates and assumptions
include, but are not limited to, customer receivables, inventories, equity
investments, fixed asset lives, contingencies and litigation. The Company has
also chosen certain accounting policies when options were available, including:
o The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method to value our
inventories;
o The intrinsic value method, or APB Opinion No. 25, to account
for our stock options;
o Review of customers' receivable to determine the need for an
allowance for credit losses based on estimates of customers'
ability to pay. If the financial condition of our customers
were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.
These accounting policies are applied consistently for all years presented. Our
operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information
about the impact on our operating results is included in the footnotes to our
consolidated financial statements.
GENERAL
In July 2000, the Company changed its name to Enova Systems, Inc. The Company,
previously U.S. Electricar, Inc., a California Corporation (the "Company"), was
incorporated on July 30, 1976.
The Company's fiscal year ends December 31. All year references refer to fiscal
years.
Enova Systems believes it is a leader in the development and production of
commercial digital power management systems. Power management systems control
and monitor electric power in an automotive or commercial application such as an
automobile or a stand-alone power generator. Our business activities focus on
the development of electric and hybrid electric drive systems and related
components, fuel cell power management systems for both mobile and stationary
power applications, vehicle systems
9
integration and the performance of various engineering contracts for government
and commercial enterprises. Drive systems are comprised of an electric motor, an
electronics control unit and a gear unit which power an electric vehicle. Hybrid
systems, which are similar to pure electric drive systems, contain an internal
combustion engine in addition to the electric motor, eliminating outside
recharging of the battery system. A fuel cell based system is similar to a
hybrid system except that instead of an internal combustion engine, a fuel cell
is utilized as the power source. A fuel cell is a system which combines hydrogen
and oxygen in a chemical process to produce electricity.
The Company's business activities continue to be focused on the development of
electric and hybrid electric drive systems and related components, fuel cell
power management systems for both mobile and stationary power applications,
vehicle systems integration and the performance of various engineering
contracts.
Enova develops and produces advanced software, firmware and hardware for
applications in the alternative power industry. Our focus is digital power
conversion, power management, and system integration, for two broad market
applications - vehicle power generation and stationary power generation.
Specifically, we develop, design and produce drive systems and related
components for electric, hybrid-electric, fuel cell and microturbine-powered
vehicles. We also develop, design and produce power management and power
conversion components for stationary power generation - both on-site distributed
power and on-site telecommunications back-up power applications. These
stationary applications also employ fuel cells, microturbines and advanced
batteries for power storage and generation. Additionally, we perform research
and development to augment and support others' and our own related product
development efforts.
Our product development strategy is to design and introduce to market
successively advanced products, each based on our core technical competencies.
In each of our product / market segments, we provide products and services to
leverage our core competencies in digital power management, power conversion and
system integration. We believe that the underlying technical requirements shared
among the market segments will allow us to more quickly transition from one
emerging market to the next, with the goal of capturing early market share.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we continued to develop and produce
electric and hybrid electric drive systems and components for Ballard Power
Systems, Ford Motor Company, Hyundai Motor Company and several domestic and
international vehicle and bus manufacturers including Advanced Vehicle Systems
of Tennessee, Eco Power Technology of Italy and Wright Bus of the United
Kingdom. We also are continuing on our current research and development programs
with Hyundai Motor Company and the U.S. Department of Transportation as well as
developing new programs with Hyundai and the federal government.
Ford Motor Company
The High Voltage Energy Converter development program with Ford Motor Company
for their fuel cell vehicle continues to progress on schedule. This converter, a
key component in Ford's Focus Fuel Cell Vehicle, which was featured at the New
York International Auto Show in February 2002, converts high voltage power from
the fuel cell into a lower voltage for use by the drive system and electronic
accessories. The second prototype phase continues on schedule and we expect the
results in performance and reliability to be satisfactory. The first production
prototypes are scheduled to be released in early 2003. In the six months ended
June 30, 2002, we billed approximately $149,000 from this Ford program.
10
Ballard Power Systems
Our development and production program with Ballard for low voltage 30kW
electric drive system components for use in Ford's Global Th!nk City has moved
into its production phase. The rollout of the all-electric vehicle has been
delayed for markets in North America and Europe, however we continue to procure
parts for the initial build to be rescheduled in the near future. We have
designed and are commencing high-volume manufacturing of the electronics for the
drive system including the power inverter, charger and controller. In
conjunction with our outsource manufacturer, Hyundai Autonet of Korea, we are
finalizing production planning for initial production systems to be delivered in
early 2003. Gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from this
Ballard program were approximately $785,000 resulting from additional
engineering to modify the system. Production revenues should commence in the
first quarter of 2003 based on projections we have received from Ford and
Ballard. We anticipate that sales of these systems will provide significant
revenues in the upcoming years; however, we cannot assure that there will be any
such future revenues.
Hyundai Motor Company Programs
Our programs to develop advanced hybrid and fuel cell powered drive systems for
Hyundai Motor Company continue to advance. In regards to passenger vehicle
programs, we have developed a prototype parallel hybrid motor and controller for
evaluation for a new hybrid vehicle. The prototype drive system for this program
was delivered to Hyundai Motor Company in February 2002. Hyundai is currently
evaluating our system in its prototype vehicle for performance and efficiency.
Additionally, Hyundai is procuring several of our High Energy Converter modules
for use in their hybrid fuel cell programs. Hyundai has indicated that it will
purchase additional systems for other programs during 2002. We have also entered
into an agreement with Hyundai Motor Company to provide advanced control
electronics units for another fuel cell program.
Development programs with Hyundai generated approximately $576,000 in sales for
the six months ended June 30, 2002. We anticipate additional contracts for both
development and purchase of our components during 2002 for Hyundai's alternative
vehicle applications, however we cannot assure that such additional contracts
will be realized.
Light-Duty Drive Systems
In addition to the 30kW motor controller, charger and DC-DC converter that we,
in alliance with Hyundai Autonet, are manufacturing for Ballard Power, we are
also marketing and manufacturing our proprietary Panther 90kW drive systems.
This 90kW controller, motor and gear unit is utilized in light duty vehicles
such as midsize automobiles and delivery vehicles. As part of our corporate
strategy to outsource manufacturing, the Company has selected Hyundai Heavy
Industries for the production of the Panther 90kW drive system.
We have received a purchase order for over 200 Panther 90kW drive systems for
delivery in 2002 and 2003 from Voltage Vehicles of California, an integrator of
specialty vehicles. We have begun initial delivery of these systems and
anticipate producing approximately 25 systems representing approximately
$250,000 in gross revenues this year, however, we can give no assurance at this
time that such sales will occur.
Heavy-Duty Drive Systems
Our PantherTM 120kW and PantherTM 240kW drive systems are in production and
available for sale. The Company has received very good response to the
performance and efficiency of these systems. Sales of our PantherTM 120kW and
240kW drive systems continue to provide increased revenues for our company. We
have entered into supplier agreements with manufacturers in Europe and Japan as
well as domestically. Hyundai Heavy Industries has also been selected as our
outsource manufacturer for the Panther 120kW controller, as well as the
manufacturer of the motor and controller for our Panther 240kW drive systems.
11
Eco Power Technology of Italy has purchased 27 Panther 120kW electric and hybrid
electric drive systems which are being delivered in 2002. The hybrid electric
drive systems include the Capstone 30kW microturbine as their power source. Eco
Power is one of the largest integrators of medium size transit buses for the
European shuttle bus market with key customers in Turin and Genoa, Italy. Total
sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from Eco Power were $288,000.
Wrights Environment, a division of Wrights Bus, one of the largest low-floor bus
manufacturers in the United Kingdom, has integrated our hybrid electric
PantherTM 120kW drive system, which utilizes a 30kW m Capstone microturbine as
its power source. The bus is performing to specifications and has been tested at
the Milford Test facility, a highly renowned European bus test facility. Wrights
is currently integrating our hybrid electric 120kW system into a second midsize
bus. Further, we are in negotiations with them to purchase our 240kW drive
system. We anticipate additional orders for both electric and hybrid-electric
P120 drive systems during 2002; however, we cannot assure at this time that such
additional contracts will be realized.
Tomoe Electro-Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. of Japan has also
purchased our 120kW drive system and is now integrating them into their mid-size
bus. We are working closely with Tomoe to ensure a successful integration and
future sales. We anticipate that they will purchase additional systems during
2002, however we can make no assurance that any purchases will occur.
The development of a utility vehicle for Southern California Edison, in
partnership with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, utilizing our
120kW drive system and a Capstone Turbine Corporation 30kW microturbine
continues to progress. Our system will be able to power the vehicle as well as
the auxiliary utility accessories which will eliminate the need for a separate
diesel generator normally trailered behind the vehicle. These systems have been
delivered and are being integrated into the vehicle.
In the high performance heavy-duty drive system area, Enova has introduced our
proprietary 240kW drive system has been successfully integrated into a
heavy-duty application and its performance is exceeding expectations. We have
produced five systems and have begun production of the next ten systems for
sale. Advanced Vehicle Systems "AVS" of Tennessee has ordered six electric 240kW
systems for their buses. The 240kW drive system is designed for transit buses
and heavy-duty trucks. Additionally, we are in discussions with Wrights of the
United Kingdom and other bus manufacturers regarding the purchase of these drive
systems in 2002. We can make no assurance that these discussions will result in
any sales of the Panther 240kW drive system.
Research and Development Programs
Our research and development programs with the U.S. Department of Transportation
and the State of Hawaii continue to provide us with new insights and innovations
in the development and integration of our electric vehicle programs.
Our contract with the DOT to design and test a three-car tram utilizing the
PantherTM 120kW drive system has been completed and has been delivered to the
Hawaii High Technology Development Corporation's facility in Honolulu. The
Company is now reviewing its strategy to market this tram system to
international markets for application to airports, national and recreational
parks and other high capacity transit applications.
Another government project is the conversion of an Eldorado 30-foot bus,
utilizing our PantherTM 120kW drive system, for the Hickam Air Force base is
complete. Hickam is in the process of negotiating a new contract to integrate a
hybrid drive system into a second 30-foot bus for the Air Force base. We cannot
assure at this time that such a contract will be finalized.
The all-electric Hyundai Santa Fe SUV demonstration project, in conjunction with
the State of Hawaii, is entering its second year of test and evaluation. The
vehicles are performing well and the results of the project are encouraging.
12
All of these programs are funded in conjunction with the Hawaii Electric Vehicle
Development Project, the DOT and the State of Hawaii.
We intend to establish new development programs with the Hawaii High Technology
Development Corporation as well as other state and federal government agencies
as funding becomes available.
Stationary Power Applications
Our stationary power programs continue to attract new potential partners and
customers from both fuel cell manufacturers and petroleum companies. It is our
belief that utilizing our power management systems for stationary applications
for fuel cells will open new markets for our Company. We can make no assurance
that we will successfully develop such applications or that any such
applications will find acceptance in the marketplace.
Our Fuel Cell Care (FCU) units are being delivered to UTC Fuel Cells, a division
of United Technologies Corp., for use in their stationary fuel cell systems. To
date, UTC Fuel Cells and Hamilton Sundstrand, an aerospace division of United
Technologies, have ordered approximately 30 fuel cell care units. The Hyundai
companies have also expressed interest in working with us on the development of
advanced fuel cell management technologies. We are currently completing
negotiations regarding scope of work and intellectual property rights with a
domestic energy company for stationary applications of our fuel cell management
system. We believe this market will play a key role in our future and we
continue to pursue alliances with leading manufacturers in this area, however,
we can make no assurance that this market will develop as anticipated or that
such alliances will occur.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have experienced cash flow shortages due to operating losses primarily
attributable to research, development, marketing and other costs associated with
the our strategic plan as an international manufacturer and supplier of electric
propulsion and power management systems and components. Cash flows from
operations have not been sufficient to meet our obligations. Therefore, we have
had to raise funds through several financing transactions. At least until we
reach breakeven volume in sales and develop and/or acquire the capability to
manufacture and sell its products profitably, we will need to continue to rely
on cash from external financing. We believe we have obtained adequate financing
to meet general operations and research and development expenditures through
2003, however we can make no assurance that we may not require additional
outside funds in 2003.
In June 2002, several accredited investors purchased 42,100,000 shares of our
common stock through a private placement offering at $0.10 per share for a total
cash purchase of $4,210,000. These investors represented that they were
accredited investors. We relied on Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the exemption from registration of
the sale of such shares.
A finder's fee of $205,500 was paid in conjunction with this private placement
funding to The Global Value Investment Portfolio Management Pte Ltd, a Singapore
Company which is substantially owned by two affiliated parties: Anthony
Rawlinson, Chairman of the Board of our Company and Borl partnership, owned by
Boris Liberman Family Trusts, which is also affiliated with Jagen Pty Ltd., a
large shareholder in Enova Systems and one of the investors in the private
placement.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we spent $1,295,000 in cash on
operating activities to fund the net loss of $1,241,000 resulting from factors
explained in the following section of this discussion and analysis. Accounts
receivable increased by $166,000 from December 31, 2001 balances due to
increased billings primarily to Ballard for additional engineering on the Th!nk
city program. Inventory increased by $425,000 from December 31, 2001 to June 30,
2002 as we continued to build up our raw materials and work in progress
inventories for the Ballard production, which has been delayed to early 2003,
and other programs such as our 120kW and 240kW drive system sales to EcoPower,
Wrights and other bus manufacturers.
13
Current liabilities increased by a net of $554,000 from December 31, 2001 to
June 30, 2002 due to purchases of materials made in connection with various
on-going production programs. Additionally, fees due to The Global Value
Investment Portfolio Management Pte Ltd were booked in the second quarter which
were paid in July 2002. We believe that these balances will decline as we reach
adequate levels of inventory for sales.
Capital lease obligations increased by $49,000 during the six months ended June
30, 2002 from December 31, 2001 due to additional equipment and software being
purchased for our testing and production divisions.
Interest accruing on notes payable increased by $106,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 from December 31, 2001 due to an increase in the interest
rate on the $3.3 million CMAC note per the terms of that agreement.
The operations of the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 were
financed primarily by the funds received on engineering contracts and sales of
drive system components as well as cash reserves provided by equity financings
received prior to December 31, 2001. It is management's intention to continue to
support current operations through sales of products and engineering contracts,
as well as seek additional financing through private placements and other means
to increase inventory reserves and to continue internal research and
development.
The future unavailability or inadequacy of financing to meet future needs could
force the Company to delay, modify, suspend or cease some or all aspects of its
planned operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the six months ending June 30, 2002 increased by $528,000 from the
corresponding period in 2001. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
increased by $704,000 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase in
revenues is attributable to increase product sales of PantherTM 120kW drive
systems and additional engineering on the Ballard 30kW inverter program for the
Th!nk city vehicle.
Development contracts with Hyundai Motor Company and the Federal Government as
well as product sales to Ballard Power Systems (for the Ford Th!nk city Car) and
Eco Power Technology accounted for a majority of the Company's sales in the
first six months of 2002.
Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased to $1,868,000
compared to cost of sales of $1,164,000 for the same six-month period in 2001.
Cost of sales increased to $1,160,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from
$505,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase in cost of sales
exceeded that of the comparable period in 2001 due to additional costs incurred
to meet production schedules and increased development costs related to the
Ballard program.
Internal research and development expense decreased in the six months ended June
30, 2002 to $456,000 as compared with $498,000 in the same period in 2001 and to
$181,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $239,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001. The decrease is due to resources from internal research and
development being allocated toward other externally funded development programs
with Hyundai Motor Company and the Ford and Ballard programs.
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $102,000 to $1,188,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 from the previous year's comparable period.
Additionally, these expenses comparatively decreased from $823,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 to $573,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
We incurred additional professional fees in the amount of approximately $100,000
in connection with the filing of a registration statement on behalf of Fontal
International during the second quarter of 2002; however, we are continuing to
reduce overhead wherever possible.
Interest and financing fees increased to $110,000 in the first six months of
2002 from $59,000 in the same period in 2001 and increased to $55,000 from
$30,000 for comparative three month periods in 2001 and 2002. Interest costs
have increased due to a change in interest accrual for our $3.3 million CMAC
note in
14
accordance with the original terms of that note.
We incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $536,000 in the second
quarter of 2002 compared to a net loss of $811,000 in the second quarter of
2001. The decrease was due to increased revenues as well as the reduction in
overhead expenses for the quarter. The net loss for the six months ended June
30, 2002 was $1,241,000 compared to $1,092,000 for the similar period in 2001.
The overall increase in net loss was due to an increase in cost of sales during
the six months ended June 30, 2002 as the Company moves from primarily research
and development to a product based company, as well as the increase in
professional fees in connection with the SEC registration filings.
CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
This Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements concerning our existing and
future products, markets, expenses, revenues, liquidity, performance and cash
needs as well as our plans and strategies. These forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties and are based on current management's
expectations and we are not obligated to update this information. Many factors
could cause actual results and events to differ significantly from the results
anticipated by us and described in these forward looking statements including,
but not limited to, the following risk factors.
Net Operating Losses. We have experienced recurring losses from operations and
had an accumulated deficit of $91,534,000 at June 30, 2002. There is no
assurance, however, that any net operating losses will be available to us in the
future as an offset against future profits for income tax purposes.
Continued Losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, we had net
losses of $1,241,000 and $1,092,000 respectively on sales of $2,415,000 and
$1,887,000, respectively.
Nature of Industry. The mobile and stationary power markets including electric
vehicle and hybrid electric vehicles continue to be subject to rapid
technological change. Most of the major domestic and foreign automobile
manufacturers: (1) have already produced electric and hybrid vehicles, and/or
(2) have developed improved electric storage, propulsion and control systems,
and/or (3) are now entering or have entered into production, while continuing to
improve technology or incorporate newer technology. Various companies are also
developing improved electric storage, propulsion and control systems. In
addition, the stationary power market is still in its infancy. A number of
established energy companies are developing new technologies. Cost-effective
methods to reduce price per kilowatt have yet to be established and the
stationary power market is not yet viable.
Our current products are designed for use with, and are dependent upon, existing
technology. As technologies change, and subject to our limited available
resources, we plan to upgrade or adapt our products in order to continue to
provide products with the latest technology. We cannot assure you, however, that
we will be able to avoid technological obsolescence, that the market for our
products will not ultimately be dominated by technologies other than ours, or
that we will be able to adapt to changes in or create "leading-edge" technology.
In addition, further proprietary technological development by others could
prohibit us from using our own technology.
Changed Legislative Climate. Because vehicles powered by internal combustion
engines cause pollution, there has been significant public pressure in Europe
and Asia, and enacted or pending legislation in the United States at the federal
level and in certain states, to promote or mandate the use of vehicles with no
tailpipe emissions ("zero emission vehicles") or reduced tailpipe emissions
("low emission vehicles"). Legislation requiring or promoting zero or low
emission vehicles is necessary to create a significant market for electric
vehicles. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has recently confirmed its
mandatory limits for zero emission and low emission vehicles. Furthermore,
several car manufacturers have challenged these mandates in court and have
obtained injunctions to delay these mandates. There can be no assurance,
however, that further legislation will be enacted or that current legislation or
state mandates will not be repealed or amended, or that a different form of zero
emission or low emission vehicle will not be invented, developed and produced,
and achieve greater market acceptance than electric vehicles. Extensions,
modifications or reductions of current federal and state
15
legislation, mandates and potential tax incentives could adversely affect the
Company's business prospects if implemented.
Our products are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations, governing, among other things, emissions as well as laws relating
to occupational health and safety. Regulatory agencies may impose special
requirements for implementation and operation of our products or may
significantly impact or even eliminate some of our target markets. We may incur
material costs or liabilities in complying with government regulations. In
addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to
comply with evolving environmental and health and safety laws, regulations and
requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of business. However, we are not currently a party to any
material legal proceedings.
We have settled a lawsuit brought against us by Fontal International, Ltd. in
June 2000, which was filed in the United States District Court, Central District
of California as previously disclosed in our March 31, 2000 Form 10-Q. The suit
alleged breach of contract with respect to certain warrants to purchase
10,833,332 shares of our common stock. The settlement agreement required us to
issue 6,000,000 shares of common stock which were to be registered and freely
tradable on, or before, March 31, 2002. We entered into an agreement with Fontal
granting them additional shares of our common stock based upon the date upon
which the Form S-1 covering the sales of such shares was declared effective. As
a result of that agreement, we issued Fontal an additional 300,000 shares of
common stock.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
In December 2001, we issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock at a rate of $0.15
per share for a total of $900,000 in settlement of litigation brought against us
by Fontal International, Ltd. In April 2002, in connection with this settlement,
we issued an additional 100,000 shares of common stock at a rate of $0.15 per
share for a total of $15,000. In May 2002, also in connection with this
settlement, we issued another 100,000 shares of common stock at a rate of $0.15
per share for a total of $15,000. In June 2002, also in connection with this
settlement, we issued another 100,000 shares of common stock at a rate of $0.15
per share for a total of $15,000. We did not receive any cash in connection with
any of these transactions. Fontal International, Ltd. represented to us that it
was an accredited investor. We relied on Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act for the exemption of the issuance of these shares.
In June 2002, several accredited investors purchased 42,100,000 shares common
stock through a private placement offering at $0.10 per share for a total cash
purchase of $4,210,000. These investors represented that they were accredited
investors. We relied on Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the exemption from registration of the
sale of such shares.
