INFORMATION STATEMENT
SEPTEMBER 21, 2001
-------------------
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
This information statement is being mailed on or about September 21,
2001 to our stockholders of record at the close of business on September 14,
2001. This information statement is being sent to you for informational purposes
only. NO ACTION IS REQUESTED ON YOUR PART.
This information statement is being furnished to our stockholders to
inform you of the adoption of a resolution by written consent by
TECHinspirations, Inc. (Cayman), a Cayman Island corporation and our largest
stockholder. The resolution adopted by TECH gives us the authority to take the
following action at any time on or after October 12, 2001:
o Amend our certificate of incorporation to change our name from "XBOX
Technologies, Inc." to "Knowledge Mechanics Group, Inc."
On July 27, 2001 the Board of Directors adopted resolutions authorizing
this amendment to our certificate of incorporation and recommending that our
stockholders adopt resolutions authorizing this amendment. On September 1, 2001,
TECH executed a written consent authorizing the filing of an amendment to our
certificate of incorporation to our change our name to "Knowledge Mechanics
Group, Inc." at any time on or after October 12, 2001.
As of the close of business on September 14, 2001, we had [204,788,368]
shares of our common stock and [2,045,142] shares of our series B preferred
stock outstanding. Each holder of our series B preferred stock is entitled to 5
votes per share, while each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote
per share. Holders of our common stock and our series B preferred stock
generally vote as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders,
including the amendment to our certificate of incorporation.
TECH is the beneficial owner of shares of our capital stock
representing approximately [87.0%] of the aggregate voting power of all
outstanding shares of our capital stock. Stockholders holding at least a
majority of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital
stock must execute a written consent in favor of adoption of the amendment to
our certificate of incorporation in order to allow us to implement the amendment
to our certificate of incorporation. Accordingly, the requisite stockholder
approval of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to change our name
from "XBOX Technologies, Inc." to "Knowledge Mechanics Group, Inc." was obtained
by the execution of TECH's written consent in favor of the amendment to our
certificate of incorporation.

CHANGE OF OUR NAME
GENERAL
On June 11, 2001, we entered into an agreement with Microsoft
corporation. The agreement documents the settlement of a dispute between XBOX
and Microsoft regarding rights to the name "XBOX." Although both parties are
required to maintain the confidentiality of the agreement, we are permitted to
inform our stockholders that the terms of the agreement require us to changes
our name to a name that does not include the term "XBOX" no later than November
11, 2001. We intend to change our name to "Knowledge Mechanics Group, Inc." to
comply with the agreement by filing an amendment to our certificate of
incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on or about October 12, 2001,
which is the earliest date we are authorized to take such action under the terms
of the written resolutions executed by TECH. Upon the filing of the amendment to
our certificate of incorporation, our name will be changed to "Knowledge
Mechanics Group, Inc."
The name "Knowledge Mechanics Group, Inc." was selected by the Board of
Directors as our new name to reflect the importance of our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Knowledge Mechanics, Inc. ("KMI"), to us as a whole. KMI develops
technology-based solutions that take a software company's existing information,
convert this information into knowledge components and then arrange the
components in a manner that will help inform customers, partners, and staff.
Following the cessation of operations of FullMetrics, Inc. in August 2000, KMI
became our sole operating subsidiary.
The Board of Directors believes that changing our name to "Knowledge
Mechanics Group, Inc." will boost the visibility of KMI and provide current and
potential investors with a clear indication of the current focus of our
operations.
The agreement also required us to change our ticker symbol to a symbol
that does not include the term "XBOX." Our ticker symbol currently is "XBOX" and
will be changed to "KNOW" after the amendment to our certificate of
incorporation is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect our name
change. The ticker symbol change will not require any action on the part of our
stockholders. In addition, our CUSIP number will be changed to 49925M 10 0 once
the amendment to our certificate of incorporation has been filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State.
THERE IS NO NEED TO SEND IN YOUR EXISTING CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING
SHARES OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF XBOX. Your existing certificate will continue to
represent shares of capital stock of XBOX as if our name, ticker symbol and
CUSIP number had not changed. Neither the change of our name and ticker symbol
nor the assignment of a new CUSIP number will affect your ability to trade your
shares of capital stock of XBOX. Our exchange agent will issue stock
certificates with our new name and CUSIP number as stock certificates are sent
in upon transfers of shares of our capital stock by our existing stockholders.
Until you sell or otherwise transfer your shares of our capital stock, there is
no need to send us or our exchange agent your existing stock certificates.
CONSENT REQUIRED
Approval of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation requires
the consent of the holders of shares representing a majority of the aggregate
voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock. TECH, which holds
approximately [87.0%] of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of
our capital stock as of September 14, 2001, has given its consent to the
amendment to our certificate of incorporation. This consent allows the Board of
Directors to implement our name change at any time on or after October 12, 2001.
Accordingly, the requisite stockholder approval of the amendment to our
certificate of incorporation has been obtained.
