ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
This report includes the financial statements previously
discussed in the Company's form 10-QSB covering the quarter ended
November 30, 1997, accordingly reference is made to that filing (No.
0-22969) for matters incorporated by reference.
Effective January 1, 1998, Synaptx Worldwide, Inc. (the
"Company") through its wholly owned subsidiary, Synaptx Controls, Inc.
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Agreement") with
Shareholders of WG Controls, Inc., an Illinois Corporation, ("WGC")
related to the acquisition by the Company of one hundred percent
(100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of WGC.
In reliance upon and pursuant to the basic terms of the Agreement, the
Company and James Gleason, Shirley Gleason, Michael Concialdi and
James Gammon, the shareholders of WGC (collectively the "WGC
Shareholders" and individually the "WGC Shareholder") executed the
Agreement whereby WGC Shareholders exchanged all of their right, title
and interest and obligations in their WGC Common Stock to the Company.
The Agreement provided for the purchase by Synaptx Worldwide, Inc. of
all the issued and outstanding capital stock of WGC Common Stock for
285,715 shares of the Company's $ .001 par value common stock, 137,143
shares of the Company's $ .001, Series A, cumulative convertible
preferred stock and $270,000 in cash payable as follows: $125,000 on
the first anniversary date of the Agreement, $125,000 on the second
anniversary date of the Agreement, and $20,000 on the third
anniversary date of the Agreement. Additionally, on closing, the
Agreement called for the payment of $250,000 to key employees related
to noncompetition agreements.
The cumulative convertible preferred stock paid at closing
provides for annual dividends of $0.2975 per share or $40,800 per
year. If the Company's profits are insufficient to pay such dividends,
they will be cumulative and accrued for payment when Company profits
are adequate to fund payment. The conversion provision calls for the
137,143 preferred shares to be converted into .67362 shares of the
Company's common stock or 92,383 shares of common stock when the
Company's common stock achieves an average closing price of $5.25 per
share for a consecutive 60 day trading period.
In order to secure the cash required at the closing to complete
this acquisition, the Company sold to accredited investors $74,900 of
Synaptx Common Stock and secured financing, also from accredited
investors, of $80,100 in long-term notes. The Company intends to make
payments on the $270,000 future payments due to WGC Shareholders from
funds derived from the Company's operations.
Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, the
former shareholders of WGC may earn additional purchase price
consideration in the form of additional common stock of the Company.
The additional consideration is specified as fixed amounts for the
attainment of specified annual icommission revenuesi and iearningsi
for the subsequent twelve month periods ending December 31, 1998 and
1999. If WGC meets the specified icommission revenuesi and iearningsi
amounts for both twelve month periods, the additional consideration
could amount to $1,000,000. The additional consideration, if any,
would be added to the costs in excess of net assets acquired and will
be amortized on the straight-line method over the remaining life of
the 20 year amortization period associated with these costs.
WG Controls, Inc. is a sales representative firm based in
Illinois (approximately fifteen miles northwest of Chicago) that
provides field sales and business development support for specified
product lines and/or territories for clients under contract who
include cable TV and telecommunications (both voice and data
networking) original equipment manufacturers, commonly referred to as
OEMs, located primarily in the north central section of the United
States. WGC has been active for the past 37 years. WGC's operations
consist of sales representatives who sell to private network, public
telephone network, cable operating companies and alternate access
provider communication markets. WGC currently represents RELTEC,
Thomas & Bettes and Johanson in addition to approximately 13 other
clients ("Clients" or singular "Client"). Employing eleven (11) people
and operating out of leased office space in both Arlington Heights,
Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, WGCis employees are based in
strategic territories to meet their customersi needs, serving Illinois
and Wisconsin. Revenues represent the earning of commissions on its
customersi sales. These commissions range primarily from 3.5% up to
10%, depending on the sophistication of the customersi products and
services represented.
Currently, WG Controls is generating commission revenues of
approximately $80,000 to $90,000 per month. Management of the Company
believes that contractual relations, which allow for termination by
either party with minimal notification periods (standard in the
industry), with its existing Clients are in good standing.
Furthermore, management believes that the opportunity of providing a
national Client sales representation focus will allow for increased
geographic service scope with existing Clients and an opportunity of
adding additional Clients.

related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are

WG CONTROLS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
WG Controls, Inc. (the "Company"), founded in 1962, is a sales
representative firm based in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The
Company also maintains a sales office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Company provides field sales and business development support
for specified product lines and/or territories for clients under
contract. Clients include telecommunications (both voice and data
networking), electronics, and cable TV original equipment
manufacturers, commonly referred to as OEM's, located primarily
in the midwestern United States. These clients pay a negotiated
commission on all sales associated with the contracted coverage.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and WG Telecom, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary located
in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Upon consolidation, significant
intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues consist of commissions earned on the sales of
manufacturers' goods to end use customers or distributors.
Commissions are earned as a percentage of sales made and
generally range from 3.5% up to 10% depending on the volume of
goods being sold and the complexity of the product. Revenue is
generally recognized when sales take place which precedes the
actual collection of the commission by approximately sixty days.
Therefore, approximately two months of estimated commissions
earned but not collected are recorded as accounts receivable.
EQUIPMENT
Equipment, consisting entirely of office equipment is stated at
cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, ranging from thirty-six to sixty months, using the
straight line method.
INCOME TAXES
The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, elected to be
taxed as an "S" corporation in compliance with elections under
the Internal Revenue Code. In lieu of corporation income taxes,
the shareholders of an "S" corporation are taxed on their
proportionate share of the company's taxable income. Accordingly,
no liability or provision for federal income taxes is included in
the accompanying financial statements nor are any deferred taxes
provided for timing differences between income tax and financial
reporting prior to December 31, 1997.
Since the acquisition date, the Company's results are included
with the Synaptx Worldwide, Inc.'s results and will be reflected
in a consolidated federal income tax return. (See Note 1).
ESTIMATES
The accompanying financial statements include estimated amounts
and disclosures based on management's assumptions about future
events. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of risk consist principally of accounts
receivable. The carrying values reflected in the balance sheet
reasonably approximate the fair values for accounts receivable
and payable.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising and promotion costs, which are included in selling,
general and administrative expenses, are expensed as incurred.
Advertising and promotion costs amounted to approximately $900
and $800 in the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
WG CONTROLS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

employment agreements with its president and two other key employees
for terms ranging from three to five years. The agreements shall be

commission revenues. For the year ended December 31, 1996, three
customers accounted for 21.5%, 13.8% and 13.5%, respectively,

receivable at December 31, 1997 and 21.4%, 5.7%, and 8.9%,

in Milwaukee under a month-to-month lease agreement with the
right to terminate the agreement with a sixty day notice. Rentals

operating expenses and real estate taxes.

payments under operating leases are $20,800, all due in the year
ended December 31, 1998. Rent expense amounted to approximately
$24,300 and $19,200 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.
