ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

Cox  Technologies,  Inc. (the  "Company"),  is engaged in the process of orderly
liquidation of its remaining assets, the winding up of its business  operations,
the dissolution of the Company and the distribution of cash to shareholders.

The Company was incorporated as Mericle Oil Company in July 1968, under the laws
of the State of Arizona. The name was changed to Energy Reserve,  Inc. in August
1975. In November 1994, Energy Reserve acquired Twin-Chart, Inc. and altered its
primary  business focus from crude oil  operations to temperature  recording and
monitoring operations.  As a result of this change in focus, the Company changed
its name to Cox Technologies,  Inc. in April 1998. The Company reincorporated in
the State of North Carolina in December 2000.

Except where the context otherwise indicates,  all references to the Company are
to Cox  Technologies,  Inc., its wholly owned  subsidiaries,  Twin-Chart,  Inc.,
Transit  Services,  Inc.,  Vitsab,  Inc., Vitsab USA, Inc., Fresh Tag Research &
Manufacturing, Inc., Qualtag Engineering, Inc. and Cox Recorders Australia, Pty.
Ltd. ("Cox Recorders Australia"),  a 95% owned Australian  distribution company.
During July 2001, all domestic subsidiaries were merged into the parent company,
Cox Technologies,  Inc. On March 15, 2003, the Company sold all of its shares in
its Vitsab Sweden subsidiary to its Copenhagen distributor.

On December 12, 2003, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (such
agreement,  as amended on January 29, 2004, the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with
Sensitech Inc., a Delaware corporation  ("Sensitech") and Cox Acquisition Corp.,
a Delaware  corporation and a wholly owned  subsidiary of Sensitech,  formed for
purposes  of  consummating  the  Asset  Purchase  Agreement  ("Buyer")  to  sell
substantially all of the Company's assets ("the Asset Sale").

Effective  April 16,  2004,  the Company  and  Sensitech  completed  Sensitech's
acquisition of  substantially  all of the assets of the Company  pursuant to the
terms of the Asset  Purchase  Agreement  dated  December  12,  2003,  as amended
January 29, 2004,  among the Company,  Sensitech and Cox  Acquisition  Corp. The
aggregate  consideration received by the Company at the closing was comprised of
$10,595,589 in cash. In addition,  Sensitech  assumed  $233,569 of the Company's
payables  and  certain  other  liabilities.  At  closing,  Sensitech  retained a
$250,000  holdback  amount  in  the  Asset  Sale.  Determination  of  the  final
consideration is subject to adjustment based upon  finalization of the Company's
balance  sheet as of the  closing  date.  Under the terms of the Asset  Purchase
Agreement,  the Company  retained  certain assets and  liabilities in connection
with the  transaction,  including  certain cash,  production  equipment,  office
equipment,   machines,   tools,   fixtures,   furniture  and  certain   retained
liabilities.

In  connection  with the Asset Sale,  the Company and  Sensitech  entered into a
Manufacturing   Services   Agreement  under  which  the  Company   continued  to
manufacture  the Company's  products on behalf of Sensitech  from April 16, 2004
through July 2, 2004.

The  parties  completed  the  Asset  Sale  following  a special  meeting  of the
Company's  shareholders on April 15, 2004,  whereby the holders of a majority of
the  Company's   common  stock  approved  the  Asset  Sale  and  the  subsequent
liquidation  and  dissolution  of the  Company  pursuant to the Plan of Complete
Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Plan").

On January 29, 2004 the Company  entered into an Asset  Purchase  Agreement with
Rask  Holding  ApS,  to sell its  Vitsab  division  for  $175,000  plus  assumed
liabilities.  The  transaction  was  consummated on the same date.  Rask Holding
acquired all of the assets  associated  with the Vitsab division except cash and
accounts  receivable,  and assumed all  liabilities  associated  with the Vitsab
division  except  liabilities  associated  with a raw material  purchase  from a
specific  vendor and for taxes  resulting from operations of the Vitsab division
prior to January 29, 2004.

The  Company  sold  most of its  remaining  assets  (principally  furniture  and
equipment) at auction on July 17, 2004.

                                       1

Business Operations prior to the Asset Sale

Prior to the Asset Sale the core business of the Company was to provide reliable
temperature  monitoring  products and develop new and  technologically  advanced
monitoring  systems.  The Company produced and distributed  transit  temperature
recording  instruments,  including  electronic  "loggers,"  graphic  temperature
recorders   and  visual   indicator   tags,   both  in  the  United  States  and
internationally.

Temperature Recorder Operations

The  Company's   temperature   recorder   activities   included  production  and
distribution  of  graphic  temperature  recording  instruments,   the  sale  and
distribution  of  electronic   temperature  and  humidity  recorders  (sold  for
non-transit  quality  monitoring  purposes as well as for  transit  monitoring),
production and distribution of visual indicator labels,  the sale of fixed based
temperature  monitoring  systems,  and the  sale  and  distribution  of  various
temperature sensing probes and thermometers.

The graphic temperature recording  instruments,  known as temperature recorders,
are self-contained, battery-powered and designed to create a graphical "time vs.
temperature"  record. The electronic  temperature  recorders are battery-powered
devices that record  temperature  in a computer  memory chip.  The data is later
retrieved by transferring the information to a personal computer.

The graphic  recorders  were  marketed  under the trade name Cox  Recorders  and
produced a record which was documentary  proof of temperature  conditions useful
for compliance with governmental  regulations,  the monitoring of performance of
refrigerated  carriers,  and for claims in the transport of valuable perishables
such as  produce,  meat,  pharmaceuticals,  chemicals,  live  plants  and animal
material.  The electronic  temperature recording products were used for the same
purpose,  but also were used for internal checking of temperature  conditions in
storage and processing.

The Company sold two different  types of electronic  "data  loggers"  which were
manufactured by an offshore  contractor.  The Tracer(R)  product line, which can
record data for both temperature and humidity,  is a  research-grade  instrument
used in a broad  variety of  laboratory,  environmental,  process  control,  and
quality  assurance  applications.  A lower  cost  electronic  data  logger,  the
DataSource(R),   is  used  primarily  for  transit  temperature  monitoring  and
recording.  Both  loggers  deliver  their  data via a cable  link to a  personal
computer using specialized software.

The Company purchased for resale the TempList(R),  which is a data collection or
"listing" temperature recorder that is used for point-of-measurement  recording.
The TempList(R)  delivers the data via a cable link to a personal computer using
specialized  software.  The Company also  purchased  digital  thermometers  with
penetration probes for resale from a variety of manufacturers.

The Cox1 product accounted for  approximately 62% of the Company's  revenues for
the period  beginning  May 1, 2003 and ending  April 15,  2004.  The  balance of
revenues was generated  through the sale of electronic data loggers,  probes and
other temperature monitoring products.

During fiscal 2002, the Company contracted with a third party to manufacture and
assemble certain base versions of the Cox1 units at an offshore location. During
the  period  beginning  May 1, 2003 and ending  April 15,  2004,  that  offshore
location supplied approximately 40% of the total number of units utilized by the
Company.  Because  of  this  manufacturing  arrangement,  the  Company  realized
significant cost savings on units manufactured in both the offshore and Belmont,
North  Carolina  facilities.  The Company did not  experience  foreign  currency
exchange risks as all transactions were denominated in U.S. dollars.

The temperature  recorder operations of the Company did not depend upon a single
or  a  few  customers.  However,  the  Company  did  have  significant  business
relationships  with several  large retail  customers  and foreign  distributors.
Backlog of orders was not a major factor in the temperature  recorder operations
of the Company.

The Company was a major  competitor in the temperature  recording  industry with
regards to its production and distribution  activities.  The Company encountered
significant  competition  from a variety of  companies in all major areas of its
business  activity.  The Company competed  primarily on product  performance and
price.  Reliability,  technology,  customer service and company  reputation were
also important competitive factors.

The Company  generally  did not maintain  company owned  distribution  entities.
However,  in 1999, the Company established Cox Recorders Australia to retain its
market share and presence in this geographic  area.  Except for this subsidiary,
all distributors  were contracted.  All other  distribution and sales operations
were through  individual  sales persons  operating on salary,  sales  commission
basis or salary plus  incentive  basis.  The shares of Cox  Recorders  Australia
stock owned by the Company were sold to Sensitech in the Asset Sale.

                                       2

Vitsab(R) Product

Vitsab(R)  is a technology  that employs  enzymatic  color  indicators  inside a
transparent  label to show the  amount of  temperature  exposure  of a stored or
shipped  temperature-sensitive  commodity. These labels are programmable devices
that run as a "biological clock" parallel to the biological clock of the product
it is set to monitor. They integrate both time and temperature and give a visual
indication  that  parallels the  monitored  food or drug product as it reaches a
certain definable state.

During the period from May 1, 2003 through  January 29, 2004, the Vitsab(R) line
of products  generated  sales equaling  approximately  3% of the Company's total
revenues.

Oilfield Operations

Until September 30, 2002, the Company owned working  interests through subleases
in developed  oil and gas  properties  located in  California.  These  developed
properties  contained  drilled wells that were capable of producing crude oil or
natural  gas.  The Company  attempted  to manage and improve  production  in the
fields by employing an independent oilfield operator through several contractual
agreements  dating  back to  1999.  The  Company  sold  its  interest  in  these
properties on September 30, 2002.

Intellectual Property

The  Company  owned a number of  patents,  trademarks,  trade  secrets and other
intellectual  property  directly  related to, and  important  to, the  Company's
business. All of these assets were sold to either Sensitech or Rask Holding.

Research and Development

No research and  development  expenses were incurred during fiscal 2004, 2003 or
2002.

Government Regulation

The Company is not currently  subject to direct  regulation by any  governmental
agency other than rules and regulations that apply to businesses generally.

Employees

On June 1, 2004, the Company had 35 full-time  employees  compared to 64 on June
1,  2003.  On August 17,  2004,  the  Company  had four  employees.  None of the
Company's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Since its  inception,  the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common
stock and does not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

In calendar 2004, we expect to make cash distributions to shareholders of record
at the final record date. Since the Asset Sale to Sensitech, we have been taking
the necessary  steps to liquidate and convert the remaining  non-cash  assets of
the Company to cash and to pay the  liabilities  and obligations of the Company.
In lieu of satisfying all of our  liabilities  and  obligations  prior to making
distributions  to our  shareholders,  we will  create a  contingency  reserve to
provide  for  such  liabilities  and  obligations.  The  actual  amount  of  the
contingency  reserve will be based upon estimates and opinions of management and
the Board of Directors and review of our estimated operating expenses and future
estimated liabilities,  including, without limitation,  anticipated compensation
payments, estimated legal and accounting fees, operating lease expenses, payroll
and other taxes payable,  miscellaneous office expenses, and expenses accrued in
our financial statements. There can be no assurance that the contingency reserve
in fact will be sufficient.

After the  liabilities,  expenses  and  obligations  for  which the  contingency
reserve is established  have been  satisfied in full, we will  distribute to our
shareholders any remaining portion of the contingency reserve.

Under the  North  Carolina  Business  Corporation  Act,  in the event we fail to
create  an  adequate  contingency  reserve  for  payment  of  our  expenses  and
liabilities,  or should  such  contingency  reserve  be  exceeded  by the amount
ultimately  found  payable  in  respect  of  expenses  and   liabilities,   each
shareholder  could be held  liable for the  repayment  to  creditors  out of the
amounts theretofore received by such shareholder from us.

Management's current estimate is that the accumulative distribution will be in a
range from $0.16 to $0.18 per common share.

The following is a list of all  unregistered  stock issued during the last three
fiscal years.

restricted  stock,  respectively,  to the two  partners.  The shares were issued
under the exemption set forth in Rule 506 of Regulation D of the  Securities Act
of 1933.

       Pursuant to a February 15, 2002  agreement  between the Company and Stock

for  consideration an investor  relations  services  agreement dated November 1,
2002,  the Company  issued to Mr. Stock 30,000 shares of restricted  stock.  The

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

       The following table sets forth selected historical consolidated financial
information  as of and for each of the fiscal  years,  which  have been  derived
from,  and should be read  together  with,  the audited  consolidated  financial
statements and the related notes,  which are included  elsewhere in this report.
The information  presented below should also be read together with  Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

       Upon the sale of substantially  all of the assets of the Company on April
16, 2004, we ceased  normal  operations  and began  contract  manufacturing  for
Sensitech.  Accordingly,  a comparison  of the selected  financial  data for the
period from May 1, 2003 through April 15, 2004 should take into account the fact
that the Company  ceased it operations 15 days before  completing a full year of
operations.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Upon the sale of  substantially  all of the  assets of the  Company on April 16,
2004,  we  ceased  normal  operations  and  began  contract   manufacturing  for
Sensitech.  Accordingly,  a comparison  of the selected  financial  data for the
period from May 1, 2003 through April 15, 2004 should take into account the fact
that the Company  ceased it operations 15 days before  completing a full year of
operations.

We cannot  list here all of the risks and  uncertainties  that  could  cause our
actual  future  financial   results  to  differ   materially  from  our  present
expectations or projections regarding estimated distribution to shareholders but
we can identify many of them. For example,  our future results could be affected
by the cost of  satisfying  known  liabilities  for which we have  estimated the
value, the need to satisfy  unanticipated  liabilities arising in the future and
the expenses of dissolving and winding up the Company.

                                       7

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
selected financial data in Item 6 and our financial statements and notes thereto
in Item 8.

The Company operated in one reporting segment,  Temperature Recorder Operations.
The  "Temperature  Recorder  Operations"  segment  involves the  production  and
distribution  of  temperature   recording  and  monitoring  devices,   including
electronic "loggers," graphic temperature recorders and visual indicator tags.

Critical Accounting Policies

The  Company's   accounting  and  reporting  policies  are  in  accordance  with
accounting  principles  general  accepted in the United  States of America.  The
application  of certain of these  principles  involves a  significant  amount of
judgment and the use of estimates based on assumptions that involve  significant
uncertainty at the time of estimation. We have identified the following policies
as being  particularly  sensitive to estimate or otherwise critical based on the
potential  impact on the  financial  statements:  accrued  cost of  liquidation,
revenue  recognition,  asset  impairment,  stock options,  and income taxes.  We
periodically review these policies,  the estimation processes involved,  and the
related disclosures.

Accrued  cost of  liquidation  and  effects  of  change to  liquidation  basis -
Pursuant to the Plan of dissolution  approved by shareholders on April 15, 2004,
we plan to file articles of  dissolution  with the North  Carolina  Secretary of
State in the second  half of calendar  2004.  Since April 15, 2004 , the Company
has been engaged in contract  manufacturing  for Sensitech (which services ended
on July 2, 2004),  selling and converting its non-cash  assets,  discharging its
liabilities and otherwise winding-up the business and affairs in preparation for
liquidation.  We expect to distribute the remaining assets to our  shareholders,
all in  accordance  with the Plan of  dissolution.  As a result,  we changed our
basis  of  accounting  to the  liquidation  basis  as of  April  16,  2004.  The
accompanying  statements of operations,  shareholders' equity and cash flows for
the period  from May 1, 2003 to April 15,  2004 and for each of the years in the
two-year  period  ended April 30, 2003 have been  presented  on a going  concern
basis  comparable to prior periods,  which assumes the realization of assets and
the  liquidation  of  liabilities  in the normal  course of business.  Under the
liquidation  basis of  accounting,  assets  are  stated at their  estimated  net
realizable  value and  liabilities  are stated at their  anticipated  settlement
amounts.  As a result  of the Asset  Sale and  change  to  liquidation  basis of
accounting,  we recorded a $7.27 million increase in net assets. Included in the
adjustment  to net  assets  recorded  in  connection  with the  change  from the
going-concern to the liquidation basis of accounting,  we recorded $0.63 million
of accrued  costs of  liquidation  representing  the estimate of the costs to be
incurred  during  dissolution;  however,  actual  costs  could  vary from  those
estimates.  Distributions  ultimately made to shareholders upon liquidation will
differ  from  the "net  assets  in  liquidation"  recorded  in the  accompanying
Statement  of Net  Assets  in  Liquidation  as a result  of  future  changes  in
estimated investment income, settlement of liabilities and obligations and final
costs of liquidation.

At April 30, 2004, the following represent the estimated costs of liquidation:

Officer compensation and benefits         $131,000
Legal, audit and tax services              124,500
Insurance                                  212,000
Other costs, including utilities, rent,
 supplies and miscellaneous expenses       162,631
                                          --------
Total                                     $630,131
                                          ========

Revenue recognition - Revenue was recognized as products are shipped,  net of an
allowance for estimated returns.

Asset  impairment - Goodwill was  evaluated  for  impairment  annually,  or more
frequently  when there were  indications of impairment.  Based on an analysis of
acquired  goodwill as of April 30, 2002,  the goodwill  previously  recorded was
deemed  impaired  and was written off as of that date.  Specifically  identified
intangible  assets  subject to  amortization,  such as patents,  and  long-lived
assets  were  evaluated  for  recoverability   whenever  events  or  changes  in
circumstances  indicated that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may
not be recoverable. During fiscal year 2002, it was determined that the carrying
amount of  certain  equipment  under  development  was not  recoverable,  and an
impairment loss was recognized in the period ended April 30, 2002.

                                       8

Stock options - The Company has adopted the  disclosure-only  provisions of SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which disclosures are
presented   in  Note  1,   "Significant   Accounting   Policies  -   Stock-based
Compensation." In accordance with this policy,  the Company continues to account
for its employee  stock-based  compensation  plans under  Accounting  Principles
Board  (APB)  Opinion  No.  25  and  related  interpretations.   No  stock-based
compensation  cost is  reflected in net income for options  granted  under those
plans  having an  exercise  price  equal to the market  value of the  underlying
common stock on the date of grant.

Income taxes - Until adopting the liquidation  basis of accounting,  the Company
accounted for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The Company has
deferred tax assets related principally to net operating loss carry forwards and
impairment  losses  recognized  for  financial  reporting  purposes.   Valuation
allowances  have been recorded to offset these deferred tax assets.  Certain net
operating loss carry forwards have been utilized to offset income from the asset
sale to Sensitech  and were  considered  in the  determination  of net assets in
liquidation.

Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis

The  Company  has  identified  certain  areas  that  potentially  subject  it to
significant  concentrations  of credit  risk.  These  areas for  potential  risk
include cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.  At times, cash
balances at financial institutions are in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The
cash  balances  are  maintained  at  financial  institutions  with high credit -
quality ratings and the Company believes no significant risk of loss exists with
respect to those balances.  The Company  believes that amounts reported for cash
and cash  equivalents  and accounts  receivable  are considered to be reasonable
approximations of their fair values due to their short term nature.

Results of  operations  for the period May 1, 2003 to April 15,  2004 and fiscal
years ended April 30, 2003 and 2002

Fiscal period ended April 15, 2004

The  discussion  of the  results  of  operations  does not  include  the  Vitsab
division, which has been presented as discontinued operations.

Revenues from sales increased  $1,277,990,  or approximately 15%, as compared to
fiscal 2003.  For fiscal  2004,  revenues  from data logger  sales  increased by
approximately  $1,259,000, or approximately 59%, over revenues from sales of the
same  product in fiscal 2003,  while  revenues  from sales of graphic  recorders
decreased by approximately  $48,000, or approximately less than 1% over revenues
from sales of the same product in fiscal  2003.  Unit sales of Cox 1 improved by
less than 1% and unit sales of DataSource  improved by 68% over fiscal 2003. The
unit selling price for both Cox 1 and DataSource  eroded by  approximately 4% as
compare to unit  selling  prices of the same  products  in fiscal  2003.  During
fiscal  2004,   revenues  from  the  sale  of  graphic   recorders   represented
approximately $6,149,000, or approximately 62%, of total revenues, revenues from
the sale of electronic data loggers  represented  approximately  $3,387,000,  or
approximately  34% of total  revenues,  revenues  from the  sale of  probes  and
related products  represented  approximately  $234,000,  or approximately 2%, of
total  revenues.   Revenues  from  the  sale  of  other  miscellaneous  products
represented approximately 1% of total revenues.

Cost of sales increased by $58,841, or less than 1%, as compared to fiscal 2003.
The Company  continues to benefit from the lower cost of units purchased from an
offshore contract manufacturer;  however, those decreases in cost were more than
offset by increases in rebate fees, shipping costs and increases in both medical
and workman's compensation insurance expenses.

The Company continued to contract with a third party to manufacture and assemble
certain base versions of the Cox1 units at an offshore  location.  During fiscal
2004,  this  location  supplied  approximately  40% of the total number of units
utilized by the Company. Because of this manufacturing arrangement,  the Company
realized  cost savings on units  manufactured  in both the offshore and Belmont,
North Carolina facilities.

General and  administrative  expenses  for fiscal 2004  increased  $255,278,  or
approximately  15%, as compared to fiscal 2003.  This increase was due to higher
costs  associated  with  bad  debt,  labor,  legal  fees and  outside  services,
partially offset by decreases in telephone costs and other general expenses.

Selling expenses for fiscal 2004 increased  $180,281,  or approximately  21%, as
compared to fiscal 2003. The principal increase is due to higher sales salaries,
partially offset by decreases in travel expenses,  commissions, trade show costs
and outside sales services expenses.

No research and development costs were incurred during fiscal 2004.

                                       9

Other income (expense)  decreased $60,709,  or approximately 41%, in fiscal 2004
as compared to fiscal  2003.  The  decrease was  primarily  attributable  to the
cessation  of option  payments for the  purchase of the  Company's  wholly owned
subsidiary,  Vitsab Sweden,  upon the consummation of the sale of the subsidiary
in fiscal 2003.  Other  expenses  decreased  because the Company did not realize
negative valuation  adjustments against a long term receivable in fiscal 2004 as
compared to fiscal 2003.

Interest  expense  decreased  $39,215  or  approximately  9%, in fiscal  2004 as
compared  to fiscal  2003.  Interest  payments to Centura  decreased  due to the
continued  retirement  of the debt balance  payable to Centura  combined  with a
lower  interest  rate for the full fiscal  year of 2004.  These  decreases  were
substantially offset by the interest that accrued on the $2,500,000 note payable
to TI, dated March 10, 2000, that was due in March 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Effective  April 16,  2004,  the Company  and  Sensitech  completed  Sensitech's
acquisition of  substantially  all of the assets of the Company  pursuant to the

the Company at the closing was  comprised of  $10,595,589  in cash. In addition,
Sensitech  assumed  $233,569  of  the  Company's   payables  and  certain  other
liabilities.  At closing,  Sensitech  retained a $250,000 holdback amount in the

Fiscal 2003

The discussion of the results of operations  does not include  Vitsab  division,
which has been presented as discontinued operations.

Revenues  from  sales  increased  $17,376,  or less  than 1% in  fiscal  2003 as
compared to fiscal 2002.  As a whole both unit sales and average  selling  price
remained  relatively  flat in fiscal 2003.  For fiscal 2003,  revenues from data
logger sales increased by approximately  $630,000,  or  approximately  42%, over
revenues  from sales of the same product in fiscal  2002,  while  revenues  from
sales of graphic recorders decreased by approximately $604,000, or approximately
9%, over revenues  from sales of the same product in fiscal 2002.  During fiscal
2003,  revenues  from the sale of graphic  recorders  represented  approximately
$6,197,000,  or approximately 73%, of total revenues,  revenues from the sale of
electronic data loggers represented  approximately  $2,128,000, or approximately
25% of total  revenues,  revenues  from the sale of probes and related  products
represented  approximately  $154,202,  or  approximately  2%, of total revenues.
Revenues from the sale of other miscellaneous  products represented less than 1%
of total revenues.

Cost of sales decreased by $373,614,  or approximately 7%, as compared to fiscal
2002.  The  decrease was  realized  principally  because of a reduction in labor
costs and related fringe benefits,  lower raw material costs, and the lower cost
of units  purchased  from an offshore  contract  manufacturer.  The Company also
experienced  lower cost in the areas of freight and  postage  and shop  supplies
used  in  manufacturing.  These  decreases  in cost  were  partially  offset  by
increased cost of retriever fees.

                                     10

General  and  administrative  expenses  for fiscal  2003  decreased  $457,935 or
approximately  21%, as compared to fiscal  2002.  This  decrease is due to lower
costs  associated  with  bad  debt,  labor,  legal  fees and  outside  services,
partially  offset by  increases  in insurance  premium  costs and other  general
expenses.

Selling expenses for fiscal 2003 decreased  $161,581,  or approximately  16%, as
compared  to  fiscal  2002.  The  decrease  is  due  to  lower  sales  salaries,
commissions,  trade show  expenses,  travel  expenses  and freight out  expense,
partially offset by increases in advertising,  temporary labor and outside sales
services expenses.

No research and development costs were incurred during fiscal 2003.

Depreciation expense in fiscal 2003 decreased $215,237, or approximately 67%, as
compared to fiscal 2002. The decrease occurred  principally because older assets
of the Company are becoming fully depreciated.

Amortization of intangible assets decreased $231,988, or 100%, in fiscal 2003 as
compared to fiscal 2002. The decrease is primarily  related to the impairment of
goodwill during fiscal 2002.

Other income (expense)  decreased $37,998,  or approximately 20%, in fiscal 2003
as compared to fiscal  2002.  The  decrease was  primarily  attributable  to the
cessation  of option  payments for the  purchase of the  Company's  wholly owned
subsidiary,  Vitsab Sweden, upon the consummation of the sale of the subsidiary.
Other  expenses  decreased  because  the  Company  is no  longer  paying  patent
licensing fees.

Interest expense  decreased  $70,565,  or  approximately  13%, in fiscal 2003 as
compared to fiscal 2002.  The decrease was  primarily  attributable  to interest
expense in fiscal 2002 related to the  construction of  manufacturing  equipment
that will not be  completed,  and that did not reoccur in fiscal 2003.  Interest
payments to Centura  decreased  due to the  retirement  of a portion of the debt
balance  payable to Centura.  These decreases were  substantially  offset by the
interest  that  accrued on the  $2,500,000  note  payable to TI, dated March 10,
2000, that was due in March 2005.

The  decrease in  inventory of $237,072 is related to the decrease in the number
of  units  in  finished  goods  inventory  and a  decrease  in  work-in-progress
inventory.  The Company has also lowered its costs of  purchasing  raw materials
through negotiations with vendors. Decreased direct labor and benefits costs and
overheads incurred in the production of the Cox1 units resulted in a decrease in
the valuation of finished goods.  The Company also established a $50,000 reserve
for slow moving or obsolete inventory in fiscal 2003.

The net  decrease in property  and  equipment  of $258,939 is  primarily  due to
depreciation  and the transfer of assets owned by the Company  related to Vitsab
Sweden.  This decrease was partially  offset by the acquisition of approximately
$84,000 of new assets.

Fiscal 2002

Prior to fiscal 2002, the Company had two operating  segments:  (1)  Temperature
Recorder  Operations and (2) oilfield  operations and other,  which included all
economic  activity  related  to the oil  production  and the  holding of the oil
subleases and the operation of its Phoenix,  Arizona office.  The Company closed
its Phoenix office effective  October 31, 2000. The activities  performed in its
Phoenix  office were  transferred  to the  Corporate  Office in  Belmont,  North
Carolina.  The Company entered into an agreement with a group in Dallas,  Texas,
to sell the  subleases  on  behalf  of the  Company.  The  group  contacted  and
solicited  potential  buyers  to make  purchase  offers to the  Company  for the
subleases. The Company terminated the agreement in April 2001 after receiving no
purchase  offers from  potential  buyers.  As a result of the  inability  of the
Company to attract a potential  buyer, the high cost and difficulty in producing
crude oil of the type found in the field and  losses  incurred  in the  oilfield
operations,  the Company evaluated the  recoverability of the carrying amount of
the oilfield net assets. In analyzing  expected future cash flows from potential
offers,  the Company  determined that $300,000 of net assets should be accounted
for as property  held for sale.  As a result,  the Company  recognized a loss on
impairment  of  $3,062,196  in the fourth  quarter of fiscal  2001.  The Company
determined  that no change in the  valuation  of this  asset was  necessary  for
fiscal 2002. The Company sold the oilfield  leases on September 30, 2002 and now
operates in one reporting segment, Temperature Recorder Operations.

Temperature Recorder Operations

Revenues from sales decreased $1,082,458, or approximately 11% in fiscal 2002 as
compared to fiscal 2001,  due to a 13% decrease in the number of Cox1 units sold
as a result of decreased demand and a 4% decrease in average sales price.  Sales
of DataSource(R)  units increased  approximately  129%,  slightly offset by a 4%

                                       11

decrease in average sales price during fiscal 2002.  During fiscal 2002, a large
grocery  store chain  started  requiring  its shippers to use the  DataSource(R)
units  exclusively.  Fiscal  2002  reflects  a 22%  decrease  in the  number  of
Tracer(R) products sold and a 4% decrease in average sales price.  During fiscal
2002,  revenues  from the sale of graphic  recorders  represented  $6,751,000 or
approximately  78% of total revenues,  revenues from the sale of electronic data
loggers  represented  $1,472,000 or approximately 17%, revenues from the sale of
probes and  related  products  represented  $129,000  or  approximately  2%, and
revenues  from  the  sale  of  Vitsab(R)   products   represented   $112,000  or
approximately 1%. Revenues from the sale of oil and other miscellaneous products
represented the balance.

Cost of sales for fiscal 2002 increased $85,162, or approximately 2% as compared
to fiscal 2001. The increase was due to a reduction in the price the Company now
pays for raw material  components  and labor costs,  increased  retriever  fees,
shipping costs and supplies used in the manufacturing process,  partially offset
by decreased purchases of raw materials, decreasing labor and benefits costs and
postage expenses.

During fiscal 2002, the Company contracted with a third party to manufacture and
assemble certain base versions of the Cox1 units at an offshore location. During
fiscal 2002,  this  location  supplied  approximately  6% of the total number of
units utilized by the Company.  Because of this manufacturing  arrangement,  the
Company  realized  significant  cost savings on units  manufactured  in both the
offshore and Belmont, North Carolina facilities.

General and  administrative  expenses for fiscal 2002 decreased  $2,014,515,  or
approximately  44% as compared to fiscal  2001.  This  decrease was due to lower
costs associated with legal fees, professional services, salaries, payroll taxes
and employee  benefits,  partially  offset by increases in outside  services and
other general expenses.

Selling expenses for fiscal 2002 decreased  $551,400,  or  approximately  30% as
compared  to  fiscal  2001.  The  decrease  was  due to  lower  sales  salaries,
commissions, trade shows and travel expenses.

No  research  and  development  costs were  incurred  during  fiscal 2002 as the
Company reached the final development stages of the Vitsab(R) product and halted
the development of the EDS(TM) product in fiscal 2001.

Depreciation  and  depletion  expense  in  fiscal  2002  decreased  $90,422,  or
approximately  18% as compared to fiscal 2001.  There was no  depletion  expense
associated with the oilfield  operations  recorded in fiscal 2002 as a result of
the impairment of the oilfield operations.

Amortization of patents and goodwill increased $36,261,  or approximately 17% in
fiscal  2002 as  compared  to fiscal  2001.  This  increase  was  related to the
additional  goodwill recognized from the acquisition of Vitsab Sweden. In fiscal
2002, the Company  evaluated the fair value of goodwill from the  acquisition of
Vitsab  Sweden and  determined  the  goodwill to be impaired and  recognized  an
impairment loss of $2,695,689 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, as discussed
in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Other  income  increased  $317,335,  or  approximately  248% in  fiscal  2002 as
compared to fiscal 2001.  This  increase  was related  primarily to the payments
received as a result of the  agreement  between  the Company and its  Copenhagen
distributor  for an option  to  purchase  all of the  shares  and  assets of the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary,  Vitsab Sweden, as discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements.

Interest  expense  increased  $28,820,  or  approximately  6% in fiscal  2002 as
compared to fiscal  2001.  Reasons for this  increase  included  the increase in
interest  accrued on the note payable to TI, dated March 10, 2000, in the amount
of $2,500,000,  interest on the Revolving Loan with RBC Centura Bank ("Centura")
and the  reclassification of interest paid on progress payments made by Centura,
on behalf of the Company, from deposits to interest expense.

The fiscal 2002 decrease in inventory of $509,824 was related to the decrease in
the  number  of  units  in   finished   goods   inventory   and  a  decrease  in
work-in-progress inventory. The Company also lowered its costs of purchasing raw
materials through negotiations with vendors. Decreased direct labor and benefits
costs and overheads  incurred in the  production of the Cox1 units resulted in a
decrease in the  valuation  of  finished  goods and an increase in cost of goods
sold by an equal amount.

The fiscal  2002  decrease in  property  and  equipment,  net of  $397,836,  was
primarily due to depreciation.  There were no significant additions or deletions
to property and equipment in fiscal 2002.

COX TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS,  SALE OF SUBSTANTIALLY  ALL ASSETS AND SIGNIFICANT
     ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Business

     Prior to the Asset Sale (see below), Cox Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
was engaged in the business of producing and  distributing  transit  temperature
recording  instruments,  including  electronic  "loggers,"  graphic  temperature
recorders  and  visual  indicator   labels,   both  in  the  United  States  and
internationally.  Temperature  recorders  and  loggers  work by creating a strip
chart  record  of  temperature   changes  over  time,  or  record   temperatures
electronically  according to a preset  interval  ("logging").  Visual  indicator
labels are a relatively new technology that employs  enzymatic color  indicators
inside a  transparent  label to show the  amount of  temperature  exposure  of a
stored or shipped temperature-sensitive commodity. The visual indicator products
are  marketed  under the trade name  Vitsab(R).  The Company was involved in the
sale and  manufacture  of both types of  transit  monitoring  products,  and has
established  an  international  market  presence  and  reputation  for  reliable
temperature recording products.

     In April  2001,  the  Company  executed an  agreement  with its  Copenhagen
distributor ("Purchaser") for an option to purchase all of the shares and assets
of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,  Vitsab Sweden, AB ("Vitsab  Sweden").
The option  agreement gave the Purchaser until November 30, 2001 to exercise the
option.  On October 18, 2001 the Company  entered into a verbal  agreement  with
Purchaser to extend the agreement  through  February  2002,  and thereafter on a
month-to-month basis. On April 15, 2002, the Purchaser notified the Company that
he was terminating the agreement  effective June 15, 2002.  During May 2002, the
Purchaser  rescinded the termination  notice and both parties agreed verbally to
extend the  agreement  until  September 15, 2002,  and then on a  month-to-month
basis. On December 10, 2002, the Company  executed an additional  amendment with
the Purchaser that extended the option period until March 31, 2003. On March 15,
2003, the Company,  under a Share Purchase Agreement,  sold all of its shares in
Vitsab Sweden to its Copenhagen  distributor.  The purchase price for all of the
Company's  shares in Vitsab Sweden was $1.00.  The Company  recognized a loss of
approximately $17,000 that is included in other income (expense).

     On January 29, 2004 the Company  entered into an Asset  Purchase  Agreement
with Rask  Holding ApS, to sell its Vitsab  division  for $175,000  plus assumed
liabilities.  The  transaction  was  consummated on the same date.  Rask Holding
acquired all of the assets  associated  with the Vitsab division except cash and
accounts  receivable,  and assumed all  liabilities  associated  with the Vitsab
division  except  liabilities  associated  with a raw material  purchase  from a
specific  vendor and for taxes  resulting from operations of the Vitsab division
prior to  January  29,  2004.  As the  Vitsab  division  was  sold  prior to the
shareholder approval and closing of the Asset Sale to Sensitech,  the operations
of the Vitsab  division  have been  reflected  as  discontinued  operations  for
periods prior to the adoption of the liquidation  basis of accounting  effective
April 16, 2004.  Revenues  and pre-tax  losses,  respectively,  generated by the
Vitsab  division were $288,385 and  ($364,703) for the fiscal period ended April
15, 2004,  $281,330 and  ($595,325) for fiscal 2003, and $151,957 and ($840,674)
for fiscal 2002.

     Sale of Substantially All of the Assets of the Company

     On December 12, 2003, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase  Agreement
(the "Asset Purchase  Agreement")  with Sensitech  Inc., a Delaware  corporation
("Sensitech")  and Cox  Acquisition  Corp., a Delaware  corporation and a wholly
owned  subsidiary of Sensitech,  formed for purposes of  consummating  the Asset
Purchase Agreement ("Buyer") to sell substantially all of its assets ("the Asset
Sale").

     Effective  April 16, 2004,  the Company and  Sensitech  completed the Asset
Sale.  The  aggregate  consideration  received by the Company at the closing was
comprised of $10,595,589 in cash. In addition, Sensitech assumed $233,569 of the
Company's payables and assumed other liabilities. At closing, Sensitech retained
a $250,000 holdback amount in the Asset Sale. The final consideration is subject
to adjustment based upon  finalization of the Company's  balance sheet as of the
closing  date.  Under the terms of the Asset  Purchase  Agreement,  the  Company
retained  certain  assets and  liabilities in connection  with the  transaction,
including certain cash,  receivables,  production  equipment,  office equipment,
machines, tools, fixtures, furniture and certain retained liabilities.

     In connection with the Asset Sale, the Company and Sensitech entered into a
Manufacturing   Services   Agreement  under  which  the  Company   continued  to
manufacture  the  Company's  products on behalf of  Sensitech  for a period from
April 16, 2004 through July 2, 2004.

                                       20

     The parties  completed  the Asset Sale  following a special  meeting of the
Company's  shareholders on April 15, 2004,  whereby the holders of a majority of
the  Company's   common  stock  approved  the  Asset  Sale  and  the  subsequent
liquidation  and  dissolution  of the  Company  pursuant to the Plan of Complete
Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Plan").

     Significant Accounting Policies

     Accrued Cost of Liquidation and Effects of Change to Liquidation Basis

     Pursuant to the Plan of dissolution  approved by  shareholders on April 15,
2004, we plan to file articles of dissolution with the North Carolina  Secretary
of State in the second half of calendar 2004.  Since April 15, 2004, the Company
has been engaged in contract  manufacturing  for Sensitech (which services ended
on July 2, 2004),  selling and converting its non-cash  assets,  discharging its
liabilities and otherwise winding-up the business and affairs in preparation for
liquidation.  We expect to distribute the remaining assets to our  shareholders,
all in  accordance  with the Plan of  dissolution.  As a result,  we changed our
basis  of  accounting  to the  liquidation  basis  as of  April  16,  2004.  The
accompanying  statements of operations,  shareholders' equity and cash flows for
the period  from May 1, 2003 to April 15,  2004 and for each of the years in the
two-year  period  ended April 30, 2003 have been  presented  on a going  concern
basis  comparable to prior periods,  which assumes the realization of assets and
the  liquidation  of  liabilities  in the normal  course of business.  Under the
liquidation  basis of  accounting,  assets  are  stated at their  estimated  net
realizable  value and  liabilities  are stated at their  anticipated  settlement
amounts.  As a result of the Asset Sale and change to the  liquidation  basis of
accounting,  we recorded a $7.27 million increase in net assets. Included in the
adjustment  to net  assets  recorded  in  connection  with the  change  from the
going-concern to the liquidation basis of accounting,  we recorded $0.63 million
of accrued  costs of  liquidation  representing  the estimate of the costs to be
incurred  during  dissolution;  however,  actual  costs  could  vary from  those
estimates.  Distributions  ultimately made to shareholders upon liquidation will
differ  from  the "net  assets  in  liquidation"  recorded  in the  accompanying
Statement  of Net  Assets  in  Liquidation  as a result  of  future  changes  in
estimated investment income, settlement of liabilities and obligations and final
costs of liquidation.

     The  components  of the  effect of the change to the  liquidation  basis of
accounting are summarized below.

     At  April  30,  2004,  the  following  represent  the  estimated  costs  of
liquidation:

   Officer compensation and benefits                         $ 131,000
   Legal, audit and tax services                               124,500

                                                             =========

     Stock-based Compensation

     The Company elected to follow  Accounting  Principles Board Opinion ("APB")
No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to  Employees"  (APB No. 25), and related
interpretations  in accounting for its employee  stock options.  The Company has
adopted  the  disclosure-only  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  123,  "Accounting  for
Stock-Based  Compensation."  This  statement  defines  a fair  value  method  of

                                       21

accounting for stock options or similar equity instruments. SFAS No. 123 permits
companies to continue to account for stock-based  compensation  awards under APB
No. 25, but requires disclosure in a note to the financial statements of the pro
forma net income and  earnings  per share as if the  Company had adopted the new
method of  accounting.  SFAS No. 123 has been  amended by  Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board  pronouncement  number  148 ("FASB No.  148),  "Accounting  for
Stock-based  Compensation  - Transition and  Disclosure".  FASB No. 148 requires
prominent  disclosure in the annual and  quarterly  statements of the Company on
stock-based compensation.

     The Company has two stock option plans, the Stock Option  Agreements By and
Between Cox Technologies, Inc. and Certain Executives ("Executive Plan") and the
2000 Stock Incentive Plan ("2000 Plan").  In accordance with the Executive Plan,
options to purchase an  aggregate  of up to  6,652,500  shares of the  Company's
Common  Stock  were  granted  to  certain  executives  of the  Company.  Options
generally  were granted at the fair market value of the  Company's  Common Stock
determined on the date of the grant. Certain options were granted at an exercise
price below fair market value and $600,000 of  compensation  expense was charged
to operations in fiscal 2000. Options from the Executive Plan are exercisable on
various dates and expire on various dates.  In accordance with the 2000 Plan, up
to 8,000,000  shares of the Company's Common Stock can be issued through the use
of stock-based incentives to employees,  consultants and non-employee members of
the Board of Directors.  The exercise price of options  granted through the 2000
Plan cannot be less than 85% of the fair market  value of the  Company's  Common
Stock on the date of the grant. All outstanding options have been granted at the
fair market value; therefore, no compensation expense has been recorded. Options
from the 2000 Plan are  exercisable  on various dates from the date of the grant
and expire on various dates.  Exceptions to the exercise date for both plans are
allowed upon the retirement,  disability or death of a participant. An exception
is also allowed upon a change in control as defined in both plans.

     Options  granted,  exercised  and  canceled  under both plans for the three
years ended April 30, 2004 were as follows:

                          ==========

     The Company  applied APB No. 25 in accounting for both Plans.  Accordingly,
compensation  cost is determined  using the intrinsic value method under APB No.
25. Had  compensation  cost for both Plans been  determined  consistent with the
fair value method for  compensation  expense  encouraged under SFAS No. 123, the
Company's  net income and earnings per share (EPS) would have been the pro forma
amounts shown below for the fiscal period ended April 15th,  2004 and the fiscal
years ended April 30, 2003 and 2002. For purposes of pro forma disclosures,  the
estimated fair value of options is recorded in its entirety in the year granted.

     For purposes of pro forma  disclosure,  the fair value of each option grant
was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes  option pricing model
with the following  assumptions used for nonqualified stock option grants in the
fiscal  period from May 1, 2003 through April 15, 2004 and fiscal 2003 and 2002,
respectively  (there were no options granted in the fiscal period May 1, 2003 to
April 15, 2004):

                                    2003              2002
                                    ----              ----
Risk free interest rate(s)     4.9% to 5.3%      4.8% to 6.0%
Volatility factor(s)           285% to 304%      224% to 249%
Expected life                 7 to 10 years     7 to 10 years

     The  weighted  average fair value of  nonqualified  stock  options  granted
during fiscal years 2003 and 2002 was $.11, and $.12,  respectively.  No options
were granted during fiscal year 2004. Options  outstanding at April 15, 2004 had
exercise  prices ranging from $.08 to $1.25,  and a weighted  average  remaining
contractual  life of 8.2  years.  The  number of  shares  and  weighted  average
exercise  price of those shares  exercisable  at the end of each fiscal year was
5,007,500  shares at $.61 for 2003,  and 3,733,500  shares at $.70 for 2002. The
total number of shares  exercisable and the weighted  average  exercise price at
April 15, 2004 was  5,502,000  shares at $.54. As a result of the Asset Sale and
the subsequent  acceleration of vesting of in-the-money options (options with an
exercise  price of less  than  $.16 per  share)  there  were  2,490,000  options
exercisable at April 30, 2004 with an average exercise price of $.11 per share.

     The Asset Sale  constitutes a change in control as defined in the two stock
option  plans.  As  provided  by the plans,  the Board of  Directors  elected to
accelerate the vesting of certain options.  Options to purchase 1,002,000 shares
at a weighted  average exercise price of $0.11 per share were  accelerated.  The
estimated  expense  associated  with the  accelerated  options  of  $152,400  is
included in the effect of the change to the liquidation basis of accounting.

     Restricted  stock  was  issued  out of the  2000  Plan to  consultants  and
employees  in  lieu  of  cash  payments  totaling  30,000  and  723,028  shares,
respectively  for fiscal 2003 and 2002. At April 30, 2003,  there were 2,957,972
shares reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan.

     Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Cox  Technologies,  Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Vitsab
Sweden,  through  March  15,  2003,  the  date it was  sold,  and Cox  Recorders
Australia,  Pty. Ltd., a 95% owned Australian distribution company through April
16, 2004, the date it was sold as part of the Asset Sale.  Vitsab Sweden carried
out  development,  production and marketing  activities  that were a part of the
Vitsab(R)  operation.  Such  activities  were not  considered  a component of an
entity as defined in SFAS No. 144  "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets". In July 2001 all domestic  subsidiaries were merged into the
parent company, Cox Technologies,  Inc. All material  intercompany  transactions
and balances among the Company and its subsidiary companies have been eliminated
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of reporting  cash flows,  cash and cash  equivalents  include
cash on hand and investments with a maturity of three months or less.

     Accounts Receivable

     Until the Asset  Sale,  accounts  receivable  consisted  of trade  accounts
receivable  and were stated at cost less an  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts.
Credit was extended to customers after an evaluation of the customer's financial
condition and generally collateral was not required.  Management's determination
of the  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  was  based on an  evaluation  of the
accounts  receivable,  past experience,  current  economic  conditions and other
risks  inherent  in  the  accounts  receivable  portfolio.  The  balance  in the
allowance for doubtful accounts was $45,750 at April 30, 2003.

     Depreciation and Amortization

     Depreciation  for property and equipment  was provided on a combination  of
straight-line   and  accelerated  cost  recovery  methods  over  the  respective
estimated lives over a range of five to twenty years.

                                       23

     Inventory

     Prior to the  Asset  Sale,  inventories  were  stated  at the lower of cost
determined  by the  FIFO  (first-in,  first-out)  method  or  market.  Inventory
consists primarily of raw material,  work-in-process  and finished goods related
to the transit temperature  recording segment. The Company established a $50,000
reserve for slow moving or obsolete inventory in fiscal 2003.

     Goodwill

     Goodwill  represented the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the
fair value of their net assets at dates of acquisition  and was being  amortized
on the straight-line method over a range of six to seventeen years. Goodwill was
written  off as of  April  30,  2002,  therefore  no  amortization  expense  was
recognized  for 2003  (see  Note 8 to the  consolidated  financial  statements).
Amortization  expense for goodwill  charged to operations  totaled  $220,094 and
$200,910 for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.  As goodwill was written off as
of April 30, 2002, the adoption of SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets" had no effect on goodwill.

     Patents

     The Company owned a number of patents  directly related to and important to
the  Company's  business.  The Company  adopted the  provisions of SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets",  effective May 1, 2002. Under SFAS No.
142,  intangible  assets that have finite useful lives are amortized  over their
estimated  useful lives,  but without the constraint of the 40-year maximum life
required by APB Opinion No. 17.  Intangible assets with finite useful lives were
reviewed for  impairment in accordance  with SFAS No. 144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".  SFAS No. 144 requires the Company
to evaluate the  recoverability  of long-lived assets whenever events or changes
in circumstances  indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The
adoption of the provisions of SFAS 142 did not have a significant  impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.  Amortization expense for
patents charged to operations totaled $28,711, $33,951and $35,470 for the fiscal
period  from May 1,  2003  through  April  15,  2004 and  fiscal  2003 and 2002,
respectively.

     Long-lived Assets

     Long-lived assets held and used by the Company were reviewed for impairment
whenever changes in circumstances  indicate that the carrying value of the asset
may not be recoverable.

     Income Taxes

     Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company  accounts for income taxes pursuant to
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, which requires a
liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, the deferred
tax liability  represents  the tax effect of temporary  differences  between the
financial  statement  and tax bases of assets and  liabilities  and is  measured
using current tax rates.  Valuation  allowances were established when management
believed  it was more  likely  than not that  deferred  tax assets  would not be
realized.

     Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognized revenue when products were shipped, net of estimated
allowance for product returns.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     Financial   instruments   include  cash  and  cash  equivalents,   accounts
receivable,  notes receivable,  accounts payable,  accrued expenses,  short-term
debt and long-term debt. The amounts  reported for financial  instruments  other
than long-term debt are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair
values  due to their  short-term  nature.  Based on  borrowing  rates  currently
available to the Company for loans with similar terms and  maturities,  the fair
value of the Company's long-term debt approximates the carrying value.

     Comprehensive Income (Loss)

     The effects of exchange  rate changes on the  translation  of the financial
statements of Cox Recorders  Australia from Australian  dollars to U.S.  dollars
are included in Other Comprehensive Income.The Company recorded foreign currency
translation  adjustments  in the period  from May 1, 2003 to April 15,  2004 and
fiscal years 2003 and 2002 of ($10,438), $35,577 and $40,413, respectively.

                                       24

     Research and Development Costs

     The costs of research and development  activities are charged to operations
as incurred.

     Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share have been  calculated in  conformity  with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings  Per  Share."  The  Company  has  a  complex  capital  structure  with
significant  potential common shares.  However,  basic earnings per common share
are based on the weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding  during
each year.  Potential  common  shares from the Senior  Subordinated  Convertible
Promissory  Note with Technology  Investors,  LLC ("TI") are  anti-dilutive  for
fiscal 2004,  2003 and 2002, and potential  common shares from stock options are
anti-dilutive for 2003 and 2002, and as such have been excluded for the earnings
per share calculations.

     For the period from May 1, 2003 to April 15, 2004,  the dilutive  effect of
stock options with an exercise  price less than the average  market price of the
Company's stock have been reflected in the  computation of diluted  earnings per
share. The earnings per share calculation is summarized below.



                                      Period from May 1,         Fiscal Year ended April 30,

     Reclassifications

     Certain  amounts   previously   reported  on  the  consolidated   financial
statements  have  been   reclassified   to  conform  to  the  current   period's
presentation.  Common  stock and paid in  capital  have been  combined  in their
presentation  on  the  consolidated   balance  sheet  and  on  the  consolidated
statements of changes in stockholder's equity (deficit).

     Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist  primarily of cash and cash  equivalents  and,  until the
Asset  Sale,  accounts  receivable.  Credit  risk  of  accounts  receivable  was
generally  diversified  due to the  large  number  of  entities  comprising  the
customer base. At times,  cash balances at financial  institutions are in excess
of FDIC  insurance  coverage.  The cash  balances  are  maintained  at financial
institutions  with high credit - quality  ratings  and the  Company  believes no
significant risk of loss exists with respect to those balances.

                                       25

     Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions.  These affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure 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.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     SFAS No. 143 addresses  financial  accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible  long-lived assets and the associated
asset  retirement  costs.  The  provisions  of SFAS No. 143 are  required  to be
applied  starting with fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2002. The Company
adopted the  provisions of SFAS No. 143 effective May 1, 2003,  and the adoption
of the  provisions  of SFAS No.  143 did not have a  significant  effect  on its
financial position or results of operations.

     SFAS No. 150 addresses the  accounting  for certain  financial  instruments
with  characteristics  of both  liabilities  and equity,  and is  effective  for
interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of the provisions of
SFAS No. 150 did not have a  significant  effect on its  financial  position  or
results of operations.

5.  DEBT

     Prior to April 30,  2004,  the  Company  repaid  all  long-term  debt.  The
following is a summary of long-term debt obligations and lease contracts payable
at April 30, 2003:

2003 10% Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note due
March 2005 (from related party, see Note 6) (principal
amount of the note and accrued interest are convertible into
the Company's no par common stock at a conversion price of
$1.25 per share)                                                      $3,327,500

Note payable to bank, secured by accounts receivable and
inventory. See details set forth in the narrative below.               1,184,999

Unsecured note payable to a vendor in 24 monthly
installments of $2,000.                                                   12,000

Capital leases secured by equipment, expiring in various
years, with terms ranging from 36 months to 60 months, due

                                                                         -------

     In March 2000,  the Company  entered into an agreement  with TI whereby the
Company  issued  to TI a 10%  subordinated  convertible  promissory  note in the
amount of $2,500,000 (the "TI Note"), the entire principal and interest of which
are due on March 10, 2005.  Alternatively,  the principal  amount of the TI Note
and interest  accrued  thereon may be converted,  at the option of holder,  into
shares of the Company's  Common Stock at a conversion  price of $1.25 per share.
As of April 30, 2003, the principal and accrued  interest of $3,327,500 would be
converted into 2,662,000  shares of the Company's Common Stock. Mr. Fletcher and
Mr.  Reid serve as the sole  managers  of TI and share  voting and  dispositions
power with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the TI Note.

     Prior to the Asset Sale,  the Company's  cash flow from  operations was not
adequate  to retire  the TI Note,  and it was  unlikely  that  cash  flow  would
increase in an amount  sufficient for the Company to meet its obligations  under
the TI Note when the  principal  and  accrued  interest  become due on March 10,
2005.  Upon  completion of the Asset Sale,  the Company paid TI  $3,700,362  and
retired the TI Note.

     On July 13, 2000 the  Company  entered  into a  five-year  term loan ("Term
Loan") with its primary  lender,  Centura in the amount of  $1,190,000.  Initial
principal payments of $9,920, in addition to accrued interest,  were due monthly
from  August 2, 2000 to July 2, 2001.  The rate of interest on the Term Loan was
Centura's  prime rate plus .625% per annum.  Thereafter,  principal  payments of
$22,313, in addition to accrued interest, were due monthly until July 13, 2005.

     On July 13, 2000 the Company also  established  a revolving  line of credit
with Centura for working  capital in the amount of up to $1,000,000  ("Revolving
Loan"),  subject to a maximum  percentage of eligible trade accounts  receivable
and inventories.  The rate of interest on the Revolving Loan was Centura's prime
rate plus  .25% per annum and was due  monthly  beginning  in August  2000.  The
principal of the Revolving Loan was due on September 2, 2001.

                                       27

     On November 29, 2001, the Company executed (a) an amendment to the original
Revolving  Loan  agreement,  (b)  a  new  security  agreement  and  (c)  a  note
modification  agreement for the Term Note and for the  Revolving  Loan that were
effective October 30, 2001 (collectively "Modified Agreements").  These Modified
Agreements  extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to January 31, 2002
and  changed  the rate  that  interest  will  accrue  on the  Term  Note and the
Revolving Loan from prime rate plus .625% per annum and prime rate plus .25% per
annum,  respectively,  to 30-day  LIBOR plus 500 basis  points per annum.  These
Modified  Agreements  also stated that  Centura  would  forbear  exercise of its
rights and remedies  under the Modified  Agreements  until  January 31, 2002, so
long as the Company continued to pay the principal and interest on the Term Note
and pay  interest  on the  Revolving  Loan.  On  February  21,  2002 the Company
executed  documents with Centura,  effective  January 31, 2002, that amended the
Modified  Agreements to extend the maturity  dates of the Revolving Loan and the
Term Loan to July 31,  2002.  As a result,  the full balance of theses loans was
classified as current portion of long-term debt at April 30, 2002.

     The Company borrowed $1,000,000 related to this line of credit at April 30,
2002. On June 7, 2002, the Company paid $200,000 down on the amount  outstanding
on this line of credit, leaving a balance of $800,000.

     Centura also agreed to finance the lease of two major pieces of  production
equipment related to the manufacturing of the Vitsab(R) product. The Company had
advanced  approximately $842,000 in progress payments on the cost of both pieces
of equipment,  of which $464,000 had been advanced directly by Centura.  Through
January 31,  2002,  the Company  had accrued and paid  approximately  $57,000 of
interest  related  to the  progress  payments  made by  Centura on behalf of the
Company.

     In November 2001, the Company met with  representatives  of the engineering
firm  that  designed,  and was in the  later  stages  of  constructing,  the new
production  equipment for manufacturing the Vitsab(R) product.  In that meeting,
the  engineering  firm stated it was still having  technical  problems  with the
production  equipment.  These problems were preventing the engineering firm from
delivering a machine that would meet the Company's  production  requirements  at
the  agreed  upon  fees.  It was  agreed by both  parties  that the  design  and
construction of the new production  equipment would be put on hold indefinitely.
It was also agreed that the Company  could have  possession  and/or title to the
equipment at its current state of development.

     As a result of the indefinite  delay in the design and  construction of the
equipment,  the Company and Centura agreed to execute  documents on February 21,
2002 that  converted  the  $464,000  advanced  under the lease by  Centura  to a
five-year note payable ("Lease Loan"),  effective January 31, 2002. The executed
documents also incorporated the note into the Modified Agreements.  The interest
rate on the note was the  30-day  LIBOR plus 500 basis  points  per annum,  with
monthly payments of $7,700 plus accrued interest.  The maturity date of the note
was July 31, 2002.

     On July 31, 2002, the Company executed documents with Centura that extended
the  maturity  date of the Term  Loan,  the  Revolving  Loan and the Lease  Loan
("Loans")  to  October  31,  2002 and  decreased  the  amount  available  on the
Revolving Loan from $1,000,000 to the then outstanding balance of $800,000.

     On December 1, 2002,  the Company  executed  documents  with  Centura  that
extended  the  maturity  date of the Loans to March  15,  2003.  Under  this new
arrangement, the Company continued paying the current monthly principal payments
plus  accrued  interest  on the  Loans  during  this  forbearance  period.  This
extension gave the Company  additional time to procure additional debt or equity
funding  to allow the  Company  to  decrease  the  amount  owed to Centura by an
additional  $450,000 (the "Loan Reduction").  The Company was required to reduce
the amount of principal outstanding under the Loans to $1,215,000, including the
Loan  Reduction,  by March 15, 2003.  The Loan  Reduction was in addition to the
Company's  normal  monthly  principal  payments due on the Loans and the $91,000
payment that the Company  received on January 30, 2003 from the purchaser of the
oilfield subleases.

     On March 19, 2003, the Company  executed with Centura:  (a) an amendment to
the loan  agreement,  (b) a promissory  note and (c) a security  agreement.  The
amendment to the loan  agreement  required among other  considerations  that the
outstanding  Term  Loan,  Revolving  Loan and Lease  Loan  should  not  exceed a
combined balance of $1,214,999.  Also,  under this agreement the  aforementioned
notes would be amended and restated to one promissory note.  Principal  payments

                                       28

on the note were  $30,000  plus accrued  interest  beginning  April 15, 2003 and
continuing each month  thereafter  through August 19, 2006. The interest rate on
the  outstanding  principal is  calculated  at the bank's 30-day LIBOR base rate
plus 4% per annum (5.32% on April 30, 2003). On the first day of the month after
the principal balance was paid equal to or less than $800,000, the interest rate
will  decrease to the bank's  30-day LIBOR base rate plus 3% per annum  provided
there is no event of  default.  Effective  October  1,  2003,  the  Company  was
required to submit a monthly  borrowing base  calculation in support of the loan
balance and would have been  required to pay a sufficient  principal  payment to
reduce the loan balance to the amount  supported  by such  borrowing  base.  The
borrowing base was defined as the sum of 80% of the eligible accounts receivable
and 35% of the eligible inventory of the Company.

     On May 19,  2003,  the Company  executed a note  modification  agreement to
modify the note dated March 19, 2003. The effective date of the modification was
established when the Company made a principal  payment on the note for $355,000.
The payment was made to Centura on May 21, 2003. The results of the modification
were to reduce the monthly  principal  payment to $21,000 plus accrued  interest
beginning on June 15, 2003 and continuing  until July 15, 2006 on which date the
balance of the note would have matured. Also, beginning on the effective date of
the modification,  the interest rate on the outstanding principal was calculated
at the bank's 30-day LIBOR base rate plus 2.5% per annum.

     On March 31,  2004,  the  Company  paid  Centura  $538,566  and retired the
remaining balance of the debt.

     Capital leases consisted primarily of manufacturing  property and equipment
with a capitalized cost of approximately  $672,000 and accumulated  depreciation
of  approximately  $537,000 as of April 30, 2003. In  anticipation  of the Asset
Sale, the Company in January and February 2004 paid a total of $88,071 to retire
all indebtedness associated with capitalized leases.

6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     On January 20, 2003, the Company  entered into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement
(the "TI Stock Purchase  Agreement") with Technology  Investors,  LLC ("TI"), an
affiliate of certain executive officer and directors of the Company, pursuant to
which TI agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell 12,500,000  shares of
the Company's  Common Stock at a price of $0.06 per share,  for a total purchase
price of $750,000.  This transaction was submitted to the Company's shareholders
for their approval at a special  meeting of the  shareholders on March 12, 2003.
With a quorum of shareholders present, a motion was made and seconded to approve
the TI Stock Purchase  Agreement,  and the motion was passed by a unanimous vote
of those  present  in  person  or  represented  by proxy.  The  transaction  was
consummated on March 19, 2003. TI,  together with Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid and
their affiliates,  now collectively own and control beneficially an aggregate of
15,594,966  shares of the Company's  Common Stock, or  approximately  38% of the
Company's  issued and  outstanding  common  stock.  These  figures  include  the
2,662,000  shares of the Company's Common Stock that TI may obtain by converting
its existing  promissory note, but exclude the options that Mr. Fletcher and Mr.
Reid own to purchase, in the aggregate, 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock.

     A more detailed  description of this  transaction  can be read in the Proxy
Statement, dated February 6, 2003, which was mailed to shareholders of record on
January 17, 2003.

     In March  2000,  the  Company  issued the TI Note to TI. The balance of the
note and accumulated  interest amounting to $3,700,362 were repaid in April 2004
with a portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale.

     In addition, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid were named directors of the Company.
The  Company  has  agreed  to  nominate  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr.  Reid for  three
consecutive terms on the Board of Directors. Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid were also
both retained as consultants to the Company.  In connection  with their services
they each would  receive  compensation  of $1 annually  and a one-time  grant of
immediately  exercisable  options to purchase  300,000  shares of the  Company's
Common  Stock at an exercise  price of $1.25 per share for a period of up to ten
years.

     In fiscal 2001,  Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid each received  stock options to
purchase  2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$.59 per share for a period of up to ten years.

                                       29

     In fiscal 2002,  Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid each received  stock options to
purchase  800,000  shares of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise price of
$.11 per share for a period of up to seven years.  Also,  the Board of Directors
approved an increase in compensation  for Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid  retroactive
to January 1, 2001,  in which they each would  receive  annual  compensation  of
$100,000, payable quarterly in unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock
valued at the average  daily  closing  price during the quarter.  During  fiscal
2002,  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr. Reid were paid  $75,000 of salary in  unrestricted
shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock at an average  market  price of $.35 per
share  under this  structure.  On December 7, 2001,  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr. Reid
agreed to a decrease in their annual  compensation  to $1  effective  October 1,
2001. On March 15, 2002,  the  Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors
approved a compensation structure, effective March 1, 2002, whereby Mr. Fletcher
and Mr.  Reid would be  compensated  based on the actual  monthly  cash flow and
quarterly net income generated by the Company.  The maximum annual  compensation
would be capped at $210,000 each.  During fiscal 2002, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid
were compensated $7,500 each under this structure.

     During fiscal 2003, Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid were each granted options to
purchase  200,000  shares of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise price of
$.11 per share for a period of up to seven  years.  Effective  November 1, 2002,
the Board of Directors ratified the recommendation of the Compensation Committee
to change the compensation  structure for both Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid and set
the annual  salary rate at  $100,000  per year.  On April 1, 2003,  the Board of
Directors  modified  the  compensation  plan  for  Mr.  Fletcher  and  Mr.  Reid
increasing  their annual salary rate to $120,000 per year,  effective  April 15,
2003, and  establishing a quarterly  bonus plan beginning with the first quarter
of fiscal 2004 based on the profitability of the company. The quarterly bonus is
limited to 50% of the Company's net income for the quarter and Mr.  Fletcher and
Mr.  Reid can earn a  non-cumulative  bonus up to $10,000  per  quarter.  During
fiscal  2003,  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr. Reid were each  compensated  approximately
$99,000  as  a  payout  from  the  fiscal  2002  compensation   arrangement  and
approximately $50,000 from the fiscal 2003 compensation arrangement.

     During  fiscal 2004,  Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid each  received  $30,000 in
payments  from the bonus plan and an accrual of $10,000  each has been  recorded
for future  payment as of April 15,  2004.  For the period  starting May 1, 2003
through  April 15, 2004,  Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid were each paid at an annual
rate of $120,000 and effective April 16, 2004,  their individual rate of pay was
changed to an annual rate of $90,000.  Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid each  received
$118,846 of salary compensation during fiscal 2004.

     As a result of the Asset Sale, options granted to Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid
equaling  200,000 common shares each that would vest and be exercisable  between
March 08, 2005 and September 9, 2007 were accelerated and became  exercisable at
the date of the Asset Sale closing.  The total  exercisable  options held by Mr.
Fletcher and Mr. Reid at April 15, 2004 equal 600,000  common  shares each.  The
exercise price of the options is $.11 per share;  therefore,  both Mr.  Fletcher
and Mr. Reid will be entitled to receive  the  difference  between the  exercise
price and the amount of the liquidation proceeds paid per common share. Based on
a  distribution  rate of $.16 per share  both Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr.  Reid would
receive an in-the-money option payment of $30,000.

7.  RETIREMENT PLAN

     The  Company  maintained  a 401(k)  plan  that  covered  substantially  all
employees,  including  subsidiary  companies.  Effective  January 1,  2002,  the
Company elected to discontinue matching  contributions.  Prior to that date, the
Company matched 50% of employee  contributions  up to 4% of gross earnings.  The
Company's matching  contributions  amounted to approximately  $15,400 for fiscal
2002. The Company is in the process of terminating the plan and distributing the
assets to the participants.

8.  IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

     During fiscal 2002 goodwill and  non-depreciable  assets were determined to
be  impaired  and these  amounts  were  recognized  as a loss on  impairment  of
$3,537,597 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

     Goodwill originated primarily from the acquisition of Vitsab, AB ("Vitsab")
(see Note 13 to the consolidated  financial  statements)  during fiscal 1999. At
April 30,  2002 the  Company  evaluated  the fair value of  goodwill,  which was
determined  by reference to the present  value of estimated  future cash inflows
and a significant  change in technology to get the product to market. Due to the
significant  change in  technology  and  projected  future  cash  flows for this
product,  management determined goodwill from the Vitsab(R) product was impaired
and recognized an impairment  loss of $2,695,689 in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2002.

     The  Company  invested  funds to  construct  machinery  for the  high-speed
production of the Vitsab(R) product. The machinery was not completed and was not
expected  to produce  any  positive  future  cash flows and had a minimal  scrap
value, management determined the equipment was impaired and recognized a loss on
impairment of $841,908 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

9.  INCOME TAXES

     The  reconciliation  of income tax computed at federal and state  statutory
rates to the income tax  provision  is as follows for the fiscal  periods  ended
April 15, 2004, April 30, 2003 and April 30, 2002.

     The following is a summary of the  significant  components of the Company's
deferred tax assets for the fiscal periods ended April 15, 2004,  April 30, 2003
and April 30, 2002

                                           2004           2003          2002

                                      ===========    ===========   ===========

     The valuation  allowance  primarily  represents the tax benefits of certain
operating  loss carry  forwards  and other  deferred  tax assets that may expire
without  being  utilized.  During  fiscal  2004,  2003 and 2002,  the  valuation
allowance decreased $3,269,000, $633,000 and $494,000, respectively.

     During the liquidation period of April 16, 2004 through April 30, 2004, the
Company  recognized  approximately  $292,000 of federal and state  income  taxes
primarily  due to the gain on the sale of its assets to Sensitech,  Inc.,  which
amounts are included in the effect of the adoption of the  liquidation  basis of
accounting.

12.  LEASES

     The Company  leased its corporate  office,  sales office and  manufacturing
facilities  under  non-cancelable  operating  leases.  Rental expense for fiscal
2004, 2003 and 2002 was $116,944,  $113,291,and $110,578 respectively.  At April
30, 2004, future minimum rental payments for non-cancelable operating leases are
approximately $22,432 for fiscal 2005.

13.  BUSINESS COMBINATION

     In November 1997,  the Company  acquired a nominal  interest in Vitsab,  AG
("Vitsag"),  a corporation  formed under the laws of the Country of Switzerland,
for  $300,000.  In June  1998,  the  Company  acquired  from  Vitsag  all of the
outstanding shares of Vitsab, a corporation formed under the laws of the Country
of  Sweden,  and a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Vitsag.  The  acquisition  was
accomplished by (i) the issuance to Vitsag of 3,375,734  shares of the Company's
unregistered  common stock and 950,000 shares of the common stock of Vitsab USA,
Inc.  ("Vitsab USA"), a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company in the formation
stage with  4,750,000  issued shares of common stock  outstanding,  and (ii) the
assumption  by the  Company  of  certain  debt owed by  Vitsab  to an  unrelated
company. In an agreement dated July 18, 1999, the Company purchased its minority
interest in Vitsab USA through the issuance of 527,458  shares of the  Company's
unregistered  common stock. The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase
and the results of Vitsab's  operations  have been included in the  accompanying
consolidated  financial statements since the date of the acquisition,  which was
June 30, 1998. The cost of the acquired enterprise was approximately $2,600,000,
including debt assumed of  approximately  $1,750,000.  At acquisition,  the fair
value of liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of assets acquired, and the
excess plus the cost of  acquisition  were  recorded as goodwill.  During fiscal
2000, the Company  adjusted the initial  purchase price allocation that resulted
in additional goodwill of approximately  $469,000.  Goodwill was being amortized
over the  average  estimated  useful life of 16 years.  The  Company  determined
goodwill to be impaired and  recognized an impairment  loss of $2,695,689 in the
fourth  quarter of fiscal  2002.  As of March 15, 2003 , the Company sold all of
its shares in Vitsab  Sweden,  the  successor  to Vitsab,  to its  Copenpenhagen
distributor. See Note 1 for further detail.

14.  CONTINGENCIES

     From  time  to  time,  we  have  been  subject  to  pending  or  threatened
litigation.  We have been advised that certain  parties may exert claims related
to our previous business activities and current dissolution  efforts. We believe
these claims are without merit and intend to defend these claims vigorously.  We
currently  believe that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
our financial  position.  However,  the results of legal  proceedings  cannot be
predicted with certainty.  Pending or future  litigation could be costly,  could
cause the diversion of management's attention and could upon resolution,  have a
material adverse affect on the net assets available for distribution.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cox Technologies, Inc.
Belmont, North Carolina


We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  statement  of net  assets  in
liquidation of Cox Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 2004, and
the related statements of changes in net assets in liquidation and stockholders'
equity  for the  period  from  April 16,  2004 to April 30,  2004.  We have also
audited  the  consolidated  balance  sheet as of April 30,  2003 and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and
comprehensive  income,  and cash flows for the period  from May 1, 2003 to April
15, 2004 and for each of the years in the two-year  period ended April 30, 2003.
These financial  statements are the responsibility of the Company's  management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based
on our audits.

We conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  standards  of the Public  Company
Accounting  Oversight Board (United States of America).  Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether
the financial  statements are free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements.  An audit also  includes  assessing  the  accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As  described  in  Note  1  to  the  consolidated   financial  statements,   the
stockholders  of Cox  Technologies,  Inc.  approved  an asset sale and a plan of
complete  liquidation  and  dissolution  on  April  15,  2004,  and the  Company
completed  the asset sale and commenced  liquidation  shortly  thereafter.  As a
result,  the Company has changed its basis of accounting for periods  subsequent
to April 15, 2004, from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the net assets in liquidation of Cox Technologies,  Inc.
and  subsidiaries as of April 30, 2004, the changes in net assets in liquidation
for the period from April 16, 2004 to April 30, 2004,  their financial  position
as of April 30, 2003, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the
period  from May 1,  2003 to  April  15,  2004 and for each of the  years in the
two-year period ended April 30, 2003, in conformity  with accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) on page 32 of this annual report.

ITEM  9.  CHANGES  IN AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON  ACCOUNTING  AND
          FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

          None.

ITEM 9A.  INTERNAL CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     (a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the
          period covered by this report,  an evaluation of the  effectiveness of
          the Company's disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under
          the  supervision and with the  participation  of Brian D. Fletcher and
          Kurt C. Reid, the Company's Co-Chief Executive  Officers,  and John R.
          Stewart,  the  Company's  Chief  Financial  Officer.  Based  upon that
          evaluation,  the Chief Executive  Officers and Chief Financial Officer
          concluded that the Company's  disclosure  controls and procedures were
          effective.

     (b)  Changes to Internal Controls. There has been no change in our internal
          controls over  financial  reporting  that  occurred  during our fiscal
          fourth quarter that has materially  affected,  or is reasonably likely
          to materially affect, our internal controls over financial  reporting.
          Since the Asset Sale on April 16, 2004, we have been in the process of
          winding down our operations  and  liquidating  the Company,  including
          significantly  reducing  our  workforce.  As of August 13,  2004,  the
          Company has four employees.  As a result of the decrease in workforce,
          the  Company  has  limitations  on its  ability  to  provide  adequate
          segregation  of  duties  and  employ  other  common  internal  control
          practices.  While the  activities  of the  Company  are being  closely
          monitored by the Board of Directors, our inability to provide adequate
          segregation of duties and other mitigating  controls may be considered
          a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The business of the Company is managed  under the direction of the Board of
Directors.  The Board meets  regularly  during the year to review the  Company's
operations, strategic and business plans, major capital appropriations and other
significant  developments  affecting the Company and to act on matters requiring
Board approval.  It also holds special  meetings when important  matters require
Board action. Members of senior management attend Board meetings on an as needed
basis  to  discuss  the   progress   and  plans   relating  to  their  areas  of
responsibility.  During the fiscal year ended April 30,  2004,  there were three
meetings of the Board.  Each  director  attended  all of the board  meetings and
meetings of any board committee on which he served.

     The Company has no nominating  committee.  Because of the number of matters
requiring Board  consideration  and to make the most effective use of individual
directors' capabilities, the Board created a Compensation Committee and an Audit
Committee.

     The Compensation  Committee recommends to the Board the compensation of the
executive  and senior  management  of the Company  that, in the judgment of such
committee's  members,  should  from  time to time be  fixed  by the  Board.  The
Compensation  Committee also performs other such duties as are assigned to it by

                                       36

the Board.  The Board has  assigned  to such  committee  the  responsibility  of
administering  the Company's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the  "Incentive  Plan").
With only three  employees as Directors,  the Board suspended any prohibition on
employees  serving on the  Compensation  Committee.  The Board has appointed Dr.
Cox,  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr.  Reid to serve as the  members of the  Compensation
Committee, each of whom is an employee of the Company.

     Since the Incentive Plan requires that the Compensation  Committee  contain
at least two members who are both disinterested directors and non-employees, and
since only the Compensation  Committee can issue  equity-based  incentives,  the
Company has been unable to issue any equity-based  incentives until such time as
it can meet the requirements set forth in the Plan or amends the Plan.

     The Audit Committee has  responsibility  for considering the appointment of
the independent  auditors for the Company,  reviewing with the auditors the plan
and scope of the audit and audit fees and  monitoring  the adequacy of reporting
and  internal  controls.  With only  three  employees  as  Directors,  the Board
suspended any prohibition on employees serving on the Audit Committee until such
time as the Board  contains  at least two  members  who are not  employed by the
Company.  In the meantime,  the Board has appointed Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid to
serve as the members of the Audit Committee.  Both Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid are
employees of the Company,  and neither of them is "independent," as such term is
defined in Rule 4200(a)(14) of the NASD's listing standards. The Company's Board
of  Directors  has not adopted a written  charter for the Audit  Committee.  The
Audit  Committee  has not  identified a member as being a financial  expert,  as
defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  As the Company
is in the process of  liquidation  and  dissolution,  it is unlikely to seek new
Audit Committee members that could be identified as a financial expert.

     Audit Committee Report

     The Audit  Committee  has  reviewed  and  discussed  the audited  financial
statements with the Company's management. The Audit Committee has discussed with
the  independent  auditors the matters  required to be discussed by Statement of
Auditing  Standards  No.  61,  as may be  modified  or  supplemented.  The Audit
Committee  has  received  the  written  disclosures  and  the  letter  from  the
independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as
may be modified or supplemented, and has discussed with the independent auditors
their independence.  Based on the review and discussions  referred to above, the
Audit  Committee  has  recommended  to the Board of  Directors  that the audited
financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
Fiscal 2004 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

       Audit Committee:
       ---------------
       Mr. Brian D. Fletcher
       Mr. Kurt C. Reid

     Compensation of Directors

     Directors who are not employees of the Company receive  annually options to
purchase 7,500 shares of the Company's common stock, priced at market value. All
directors are  reimbursed in cash for their  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses
incurred in connection with their  attendance at Board  meetings.  Directors who
are  employees  of the  Company do not receive  compensation  for service on the
Board other than their compensation as employees.

     SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  requires
the Company's  directors and executive  officers,  and persons who own more than
10% of the Company's  Common  Stock,  to file with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission  reports of  ownership  and  changes in  ownership  of Common  Stock.
Officers,  directors  and greater  than 10%  beneficial  owners are  required by
Securities and Exchange Commission regulation to furnish the Company with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

                                       37

     Based  solely on review of the  copies  of such  reports  furnished  to the
Company,  the Company is not aware of any failure to file on a timely  basis any
Form 3, 4 or 5 during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004.

     COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     With only three employees as Directors, the Board suspended any prohibition
on employees serving on the Compensation  Committee until such time as the Board
contains at least two members who are not employed by the Company.  Dr. Cox, Mr.
Fletcher  and Mr.  Reid,  as the  remaining  members of the Board,  serve as the
current  members  of the  Compensation  Committee.  Accordingly,  Dr.  Cox,  Mr.
Fletcher and Mr. Reid  establish  the  compensation  of the executive and senior
management  of the Company.  Dr. Cox serves as the  Company's  President,  Chief
Technology  Officer  and  Chairman  of the  Board  of  Directors.  Mr.  Fletcher
currently serves as Co-Chief  Executive Officer and Director of Marketing of the
Company, and also serves on the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Reid currently
serves as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Company,
and also serves on the Company's Board of Directors.

     The information for this item is set forth on page 3 of this annual report.

     Code of Ethics

     The  executive  offcers of the  Company  strongly  support  the  concept of
ethical behavior including the publication of a code of ethics to illustrate our
beliefs in the conduct of business  and we have strived to perform our duties in
a fashion that would indicate  strong ethical  standards.  In light of the Asset
Sale and the upcoming  Plan of  dissolutions  we have not expended the resources
necessary to prepare and adopt a written code of ethics.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Summary  Compensation  Table below  includes  compensation  paid by the
Company  for  services   rendered  by  all   executive   officers  who  received

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

The Company's Board of Directors approves all compensation decisions with regard
to executive  officers,  including  the Co-Chief  Executive  Officers,  based on
recommendations by the Compensation  Committee.  As a result of the recent Board
resignations, each of the remaining Board members now serves on the Compensation
Committee,  effectively  eliminating the need for a  recommendation  to the full
Board.  However,  in order to  maximize  continuity  of the  proceedings  of the
Compensation   Committee,   separate  Committee  minutes  are  maintained.   The
Compensation   Committee  is  responsible  for  the  establishment  and  overall
monitoring of all compensation programs for executives and senior management, as
well as the stock  option  plans.  The  Company's  compensation  philosophy  and
executive compensation programs are discussed in this report.

Executive Compensation Philosophy.  In general,  executive officers who are in a
position  to make a  substantial  contribution  to the success and growth of the
Company should have interests  similar to those of the  shareholders.  Executive
officers  should be motivated by and benefit from increased  shareholder  value.
Therefore, the Company believes that executive officers should hold a meaningful
equity position in the Company through the purchase of Common Stock or the award
of options to purchase Common Stock.  The Company's Board of Directors  believes
that the executive  compensation program must be competitive with those of other
companies of  comparable  size and  complexity  in order to attract,  retain and
motivate talented individuals.

Executive Compensation Program. The Company's compensation program has consisted
of base salary and grants of options to purchase Common Stock.

Base Salary. The Board of Directors  generally reviews and approves the relative
levels  of base  salary  for all  executive  officers,  including  the  Co-Chief
Executive  Officers,  on  an  annual  basis  based  on  recommendations  by  the
Compensation  Committee.  In  determining  the  levels  of  base  salary  for an
executive  officer,  the  Compensation  Committee  considers  relative levels of
responsibility  and  individual  and  Company  performance.   In  addition,  the
Compensation  Committee  uses  executive  compensation  indexes  and  studies or
reports to gather compensation data relative to the duties, responsibilities and
compensation levels of the Company's executives. This comparative market data is
carefully  weighed  in  recommending   compensation  levels  for  the  Company's
executives.

Chief Executive Officer  Compensation.  On April 1, 2003, the Board of Directors
appointed  Mr.  Fletcher  and  Mr.  Reid as  Co-Chief  Executive  Officers.  The
Compensation  Committee  determined  the base salaries for Mr.  Fletcher and Mr.
Reid,  after  evaluating  a  number  of  factors,  including  salaries  of chief
executive  officers  of  companies  of  comparable  size in the  industry,  each
individual's past performance and the Company's performance in general. The base
annual salary for both Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid for the period from May 1, 2003
through April 19, 2004 was $120,000 and effective  April 19, 2004 was reduced to
an annual salary rate of $90,000 each.

The base salary and  incentive  awards for the Chief  Executive  Officer(s)  for
future periods will be determined by the Compensation  Committee based upon such
factors as the Compensation Committee deems to be appropriate.

                                PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The line graph set forth below  charts  performance  (on an annual  basis) of an
investment  in the Company's  Common Stock against each of the NASDAQ  Composite
Index and an SIC Code  Index,  in each case  assuming an  investment  of $100 on
April 30, 1999 through April 30, 2004. The following graph is presented pursuant
to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The stock price performance
comparisons  below shall not be deemed  incorporated by reference by any general
statement  incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  or under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,  as  amended,   except  to  the  extent  that  the  Company   specifically
incorporates  this graph by  reference,  and shall not otherwise be deemed filed
under such acts.  While total  stockholder  return is an important  criterion of
corporate performance, it is subject to the vagaries of the equity market, which
affect  common  stock  price  performance.  There can be no  assurance  that the
Company's Common Stock price  performance will continue into the future with the
same or similar  trends  depicted in the graph below.  As of April 30, 2004, the
closing  price of the Company's  Common Stock was $0.17.  As of August 12, 2004,
the closing price of the Company's Common Stock was $0.17.

ITEM 12.  SECURITY  OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN  BENEFICIAL  OWNERS AND  MANAGEMENT AND
          RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The information for this item is set forth in the section entitled "Common Stock
Ownership by Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" presented above.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

                                       40

     In March 2000,  the Company  entered into an agreement  with TI whereby the
Company  issued  to TI a 10%  subordinated  convertible  promissory  note in the
amount of $2,500,000 (the "TI Note"), the entire principal and interest of which
were  due on  March  10,  2005.  Alternatively,  the TI Note  provided  that the
principal  amount of the TI Note and interest  accrued thereon may be converted,
at the  option  of  holder,  into  shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock at a
conversion price of $1.25 per share.

     Prior to the Asset Sale,  the Company's  cash flow from  operations was not
adequate  to retire  the TI Note,  and it was  unlikely  that  cash  flow  would
increase in an amount  sufficient for the Company to meet its obligations  under
the TI Note when the  principal  and  accrued  interest  became due on March 10,
2005. In April 2004, the principal and accrued interest of the TI Note amounting
to $3,700,362 were repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale.

     On January 20, 2003, the Company  entered into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement
(the "TI  Stock  Purchase  Agreement")  with TI  pursuant  to which TI agreed to
purchase  and the  Company  agreed to sell  12,500,000  shares of the  Company's
Common  Stock at a price of  $0.06  per  share,  for a total  purchase  price of
$750,000. This transaction was submitted to the Company's shareholders for their
approval at a special  meeting of the  shareholders  on March 12,  2003.  With a
quorum of shareholders present, a motion was made and seconded to approve the TI
Stock  Purchase  Agreement,  and the motion  passed by  unanimous  vote of those
present in person or represented by proxy.  The  transaction  was consummated on
March  19,  2003.  TI,  together  with  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr.  Reid  and  their
affiliates,  now  collectively  own and control  beneficially  an  aggregate  of
12,932,966  shares of the Company's  Common Stock, or  approximately  34% of the
Company's issued and outstanding common stock. These figures exclude the options
that Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid own to  purchase,  in the  aggregate,  3,400,000
shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock,  which options  become  exercisable  on
September 9, 2004.

     The Company's  primary  purpose in issuing the shares of Common Stock to TI
was to secure funding in order to reduce the principal  outstanding on its loans
with RBC Centura  Bank,  the  Company's  primary  lender.  The Company  used all
$750,000  of the net  proceeds  from the  offering  to pay down  the  amount  of
principal  outstanding  under the Centura  loans to below the target  balance of
$1,215,000.  Upon  obtaining  this  target  balance,  Centura  consolidated  the
Company's three existing loans into one loan and amortized the remaining balance
over a 41-month period.  Centura also agreed to immediately  lower the rate that
interest will accrue on the loan to 30-day LIBOR plus 4% per annum and, once the
balance is paid down below $800,000,  to lower the interest rate to 30-day LIBOR
plus 3% per annum. The Centura loan was repaid prior to the Asset Sale.

Compensation for Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid

In fiscal  2002,  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr.  Reid each  received  stock  options to
purchase  800,000  shares of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise price of
$.11 per share for a period of up to seven years.  Also,  the Board of Directors
approved an increase in compensation  for Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid  retroactive
to January 1, 2001,  in which they each would  receive  annual  compensation  of
$100,000, payable quarterly in unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock
valued at the average  daily  closing  price during the quarter.  During  fiscal
2002,  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr. Reid were paid  $75,000 of salary in  unrestricted
shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock at an average  market  price of $.35 per
share under this  structure.  On December 7, 2001,  each of Mr. Fletcher and Mr.
Reid agreed to a decrease in his annual  compensation to $1 effective October 1,
2001. On March 15, 2002,  the  Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors
approved a compensation structure, effective March 1, 2002, whereby Mr. Fletcher
and Mr.  Reid would be  compensated  based on the actual  monthly  cash flow and
quarterly net income generated by the Company.  The maximum annual  compensation
would be capped at $210,000 each.  During fiscal 2002, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid
were compensated $7,500 each under this structure.

During  fiscal 2003,  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr. Reid were each  granted  options to
purchase  200,000  shares of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise price of
$.11 per share for a period of up to seven  years.  Effective  November 1, 2002,
the Board of Directors ratified the Compensation  Committee's  recommendation to
change the compensation structure for both Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid and set the

                                       41

annual  salary  rate at  $100,000  per  year.  On April 1,  2003,  the  Board of
Directors  modified  the  compensation  plan  for  Mr.  Fletcher  and  Mr.  Reid
increasing each individual's annual salary rate to $120,000 per year,  effective
April 15, 2003, and establishing a quarterly bonus plan beginning with the first
quarter of fiscal 2004 based on the profitability of the company.  The quarterly
bonus is limited to 50% of the  Company's  net income for the  quarter,  and Mr.
Fletcher  and Mr.  Reid can each earn a  non-cumulative  bonus up to $10,000 per
quarter.  During fiscal 2003,  Mr.  Fletcher and Mr. Reid were each  compensated
$97,834 as a payout from the fiscal 2002  compensation  arrangement  and $50,000
from the fiscal 2003 compensation arrangement.

During fiscal 2004, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid each received  $30,000 in payments
from the bonus plan and an accrual of $10,000 each has been  recorded for future
payment as of April 15, 2004. For the period  starting May 1, 2003 through April
15, 2004, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid were each paid at an annual rate of $120,000
and effective  April 16, 2004;  their  individual  rate of pay was changed to an
annual rate of $90,000.  Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr. Reid each  received  $118,846 of
salary compensation during fiscal 2004.

As a result of the Asset  Sale,  options  granted to Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr. Reid
equaling  200,000 common shares each that would vest and be exercisable  between
March 08, 2005 and September 9, 2007 were accelerated and became  exercisable at
the date of the Asset Sale closing.  The total  exercisable  options held by Mr.
Fletcher and Mr. Reid at April 15, 2004 equal 600,000  common  shares each.  The
exercise price of the options is $.11 per share;  therefore,  both Mr.  Fletcher
and Mr. Reid will be entitled to receive  the  difference  between the  exercise
price and the amount of the liquidation proceeds paid per common share. Based on
a  distribution  rate of $.16 per share  both Mr.  Fletcher  and Mr.  Reid would
receive an in-the-money option payment of $30,000.
