Letter of Intent with Market Central, Inc., an entity controlled by
Atlanta-based investors William A. Goldstein and Glen H. Hammer. The Letter of
Intent provides that Market Central would purchase newly issued Paladyne shares

definitive stock purchase agreement, use its reasonable efforts to put in place
an asset based receivable financing facility to fund the working capital
requirements of Paladyne. Market Central has loaned $125,000 to Paladyne,
repayable on November 27, 2002, together with interest and secured by the assets
of Paladyne and ECOM. The Company is filing a form 8k to report the execution of
the Letter of Intent and the Letter of Intent will be an exhibit to that form.
