NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
NOTE 1 - Basis of presentation:
The financial statements included herein for California Molecular
Electronics Corp. ("CALMEC" or the "Company") have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In management's opinion, the interim financial data
presented includes all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the entire fiscal
year. The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction
with other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000.
NOTE 2 - Use of estimates and reclassifications:
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform with the current year financial statement presentation.
Such reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.
NOTE 3 - Loss per share:
Basic and dilutive loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net
loss for the period by the average number of common shares outstanding. For the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, dilutive loss per share excludes the
effect of unexercised options and warrants because the effect would have been
antidilutive.
NOTE 4 - Leases:
The Company had entered into a cost reimbursable contract with San Jose
State University Foundation ("Foundation") for the period from April 1, 2000
through March 31, 2001, which has been extended through March 31, 2002. The
contract includes advisory services to be provided by the San Jose State
University Department of Chemistry, facilities, supplies and equipment use. The
Foundation shall be reimbursed for costs incurred in providing the
aforementioned items not to exceed a maximum amount of $90,658 over the period
of the contract. The Company also leases office space in Arizona.
-5-
NOTE 5 - Related party transactions:
CALMEC's three officers have devoted 100% of their time to the business of
the Company since their hire in 1997. Planned annual remuneration for the three
officers is as follows: $40,000 - Chairman and Treasurer; $110,000 - President
and Chief Executive Officer; and $120,000 - Executive Vice President and
Secretary. The officers had elected to forego their salaries through December
31, 1999, and certain officers have continued to forego all or a portion of
their salaries through March 31, 2001. As required by the Securities and
Exchange Commission accounting rules, in the accompanying financial statements
the officers' unpaid salaries totaling $23,850 and $47,500 for the quarters
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are reflected as compensation
expense and a credit to common stock, as the Company does not intend to repay
such forfeited salaries in the future. Effective February 2000, the Executive
Vice President and Secretary began to receive a salary for his services.
Effective May 2000, the President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") began to
receive a portion of his salary in cash ($1,050 per week) and 250 stock options
per week with an exercise price of $6.00 per share ("Rolling Option"). When the
Board of Directors determines at some point in the future that the Company is
able to pay full cash compensation to the CEO, the CEO has a right to no longer
receive 250 stock options per week and require the Company to issue him shares
of common stock or pay him $6.00 per share, or a combination of the two, based
on the number of unexercised shares under the Rolling Option.
NOTE 6 - Grant:
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company received a grant from The
National Science Foundation in the amount of $100,000, to be paid in three equal
installments. The grant was made in support of research to demonstrate the
feasibility of the unique Chiropticene molecular switch. The first installment
of $33,333 was received in January 2000, and was recognized as grant income
during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The second installment of $33,333 was
received in April 2000, and was recognized as grant income during the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. The third and final installment of $33,334 was received in
the fourth quarter of 2000. The grant has been recognized in earnings in the
period in which the related expenditures were incurred by the Company.
NOTE 7 - Stockholders' equity:
During the first quarter of 2001, the Company has issued 46,352 shares of
common stock for net proceeds after stock issuance expenses of $237,730. The
Company sold 31,232 shares under the public offering at $6.00 per share and
issued 15,120 shares as a result of the exercise of warrants at $3.50 per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS:
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time, statements made by California Molecular Electronics Corp.'s
("CALMEC" or the "Company") employees or information included in CALMEC's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-QSB)
may contain statements that are not historical facts, so called "forward-looking
statements," which are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Form 10-QSB, the terms "anticipates,"
"expects," "estimates,""believes," and other similar terms as they relate to
CALMEC or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. For example, statements made herein relating to acquiring
intellectual property, marketing intellectual property to potential customers,
maintaining commercial acceptance of our products, and anticipated growth of out
target markets are forward-looking statements. Because these forward-looking
statements involve risk and uncertainties, actual results could differ
materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements
for a number of reasons, including those discussed in the section entitled "Risk
Factors" of CALMEC's Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on January 31, 2000. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. CALMEC
undertakes no obligation to update or revise these statements.
OVERVIEW
CALMEC was formed to engage primarily in the business of producing and selling
products and services related to the new technological field of molecular
electronics. Molecular electronics is the technology of using single molecules
to form components of electronic devices.
The Company continues to be in the initial phase of its existence, and through
December 31, 1999, CALMEC's three officers had elected to forego their salaries.
Commencing February 2000, the Executive Vice President and Secretary began
receiving remuneration for his services and the President and Chief Executive
Officer began to receive a portion of his salary commencing May 2000. The
Company will transition from the initial phase to the operational phase when the
Board of Directors has determined sufficient capital has been accumulated to do
so. At that time, all employees and executive officers will receive salaries,
additional space will be leased, capital equipment will be purchased, and other
operating expenses will be incurred. Prior to that time, activities will be
restricted to low cost activities that will keep the Company within its cash
resources.
-7-
In the second quarter of 1999, the Company started paying salaries to two
chemists to perform research. Also in the second quarter of 1999, CALMEC began
leasing lab space from San Jose State University for the purpose of housing
these chemists and developing Chiropticene demonstration chemistry. The lease
ran through March 31, 2000, and the Company has renegotiated with San Jose State
University to extend the lease until March 31, 2001, and then again until March
31, 2002.
On January 31, 2000, CALMEC filed a Form SB-2, Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). On
February 7, 2000, the Registration Statement became effective and CALMEC
commenced its sale of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $6.00 per share.
CALMEC planned to raise $6 million with this offering, before payment of
estimated offering expenses of $50,000. Subsequent to the effective date of the
Registration Statement through February 28, 2001, CALMEC sold 120,239 shares of
its common stock, for a total aggregate price of $721,434. The Company
terminated the sale of its common stock under the Registration Statement on
February 28, 2001.
Operations
- ----------
The Company was in the development stage during 1999, and had no revenues
from operations. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company received a grant
from The National Science Foundation in the amount of $100,000, which was paid
in three equal installments. The grant supported research to demonstrate the
feasibility of the unique Chiropticene molecular switch. The first installment
of $33,333 was received in January 2000, and was recognized as grant income
during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The second installment of $33,333 was
received in April 2000, and was recognized as grant income during the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. The third and final installment of $33,334 was recognized
during the fourth quarter of 2000. The grant has been recognized in earnings in
the period in which the related expenditures were incurred by the Company. No
income other than interest income was recorded in the first quarter of 2001.
Research and development ("R&D") costs were $70,405 and $59,671 for the
quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, an increase of $10,734 or
18%. The increase was primarily related to an increase in R&D related salary
and wage expense.
Officers' compensation donated to the Company was $23,850 and $47,500 for
the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, a decrease of $23,650
or 50%, primarily related to the fact that certain of the officers began
receiving payment for all or a portion of their salary during the course of
2000.
In 1999, the Company was still considered to be in the development stage,
and costs other than R&D and Officers' compensation donated to the Company were
considered preoperating expenses. In the year 2000, as the Company earned
revenue, it is no longer considered in the development stage, and costs other
than R&D and Officers' compensation donated to the Company are recorded as
selling, general and administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative
costs consist primarily of rent, travel and other administrative expenses, and
were $51,536 and $46,924 for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, an increase of $4,612 or 10%, primarily related to increases in
rent and travel expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------
The full extent of CALMEC's future capital requirements and the adequacy of
its available funds will depend on many factors, not all of which can be
accurately predicted. Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes
it can continue to operate in its present status for at least the next twelve
months. After terminating its sale of common stock effective February 28, 2001
under its public offering which became effective on February 7, 2000, the
Company has undertaken additional and new activities to develop certain products
using the Company's technology. The Company is aggressively pursuing industrial
and venture capital funds, as well as a private placement offering, in order to
develop this technology. The private placement, which commenced on March 25,
2001, will attempt to sell 200,000 units at $6.00 per unit. A unit would be
comprised of one share of Series A Preferred Stock, one warrant for one common
share exercisable through October 31, 2001 at $2.50 per share, and one warrant
to purchase an additional common share at $3.50 per share, through April 30,
2002.
In the event that additional capital is required, CALMEC may seek to raise
that capital through public or private equity or debt financings. Future
capital funding transactions may result in dilution to stockholders.
There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on
favorable terms, if at all. CALMEC's inability to obtain additional capital on
acceptable terms could limit its ability to meet its plan of operation.
Hiring of employees
- ---------------------
CALMEC will transition from its initial phase to its operational phase when
its accumulated cash balances permit it to do so according to the business
judgment of management. At that time, employees currently working without pay
or for partial pay will begin receiving full compensation. Regardless of when
that time occurs, the Company has already hired and is supporting the lab work
of a chemist, and is paying one of the executive officers full compensation, and
another executive officer a portion of his compensation.
