Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2007
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.
The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial
statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all
adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management
believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to
make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with
the Company's most recent audited financial statements and notes
thereto included in its December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form
10-KSB. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2007.
On December 1, 2002, the Company filed a voluntary petition under
Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code with the United States Bankruptcy
Court Southern District of New York. See Note 5 for the discussion
regarding the bankruptcy filing.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has had limited
activities since inception and is considered a development stage
company because it has no operating revenues, and planned principal
operations have not yet commenced.
The Company has incurred losses from its inception through March 31,
2007 of approximately $57,545,792. The Company does not have an
established source of funds sufficient to cover its operating costs,
has a working capital deficit of approximately $21,815,000, has relied
exclusively on debt and equity financing. Additionally the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary Sigma was forced into bankruptcy because of
non-payment of employee salaries. Accordingly, there is substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)
In October of 2006, the Company signed a term sheet with a company to
sponsor a plan of reorganization. Prior to confirmation of the Chapter
11 plan of reorganization, the plan sponsor will identify a merger
candidate to be merged into the Company. Before the merger can take
place, the Company is required to bring all of its financial, tax and
SEC filings current from the last filing date of 6/30/02. Pursuant to
orders of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York, the Company has engaged accountants, auditors and SEC
counsel to complete this task. Under the terms of the proposed plan,
creditors of the Company will receive a cash payment and stock
consideration in the new merged entity. The aforementioned
consideration will be distributed to creditors of the Company under
the plan of reorganization.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the
preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 - BANKRUPTCY
In September 2002, the Company was without sufficient capital to
continue to operate and had been unable to identify sources of
additional financing. The Board of Directors of the Company was
concerned that a sudden cessation of operations would not provide the
best means to maximize asset values. Therefore, at an October 3, 2002
meeting of the Company's Board of Directors, the Board approved a
resolution to commence negotiations with the Company's secured
creditors, Algonquin Capital Management, L.L.C. and Hibernia Capital
Management, L.L.C., to commence a voluntary bankruptcy filing under
chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and immediately thereafter a sale of
the Company's assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Company has a history of being financed primarily by raising
capital through private placements of its stock and/or loans from
third parties. The proceeds from the financing have been used to
develop the Company's technologies, pursue acquisitions and make
strategic alliances and pay operating costs. Over the past twelve
months, the Company has endeavored to stem severe cash flow shortages
through, among other things, workforce and overhead reductions, and
the consolidation of its business operations. Due to persistent cash
flow shortages the Company terminated substantially all of its
employees. As a result of a confluence of events, including a general
contraction of available financing from capital markets and the recent
bankruptcy in Norway of

March 31, 2007
NOTE 5 - BANKRUPTCY (Continued)
Sigma Elektroteknisk, AS, a wholly owned subsidiary, at a Special
Meeting of the Board of Directors on November 27, 2002, the Board
unanimously consented to authorizing the Company to file a voluntary
petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
On December 1, 2002, the Company filed a voluntary petition under
Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy
Court Southern District of New York. On December 16, 2002, the United
States Trustee appointed a creditors' committee pursuant to section
1102(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Committee").
Simultaneously with filing the Chapter 11 petition, the Company filed
an emergency motion to authorize it to obtain loans and advances under
a Debtor-In-Possession Loan Agreement with Algonquin Capital
Management, L.L.C. in order to continue operations so that the Company
could attempt to maximize the value of its assets. The Bankruptcy
Court entered an interim order approving the financing on December 5,
2002 and a final order was entered on December 20, 2002. In addition,
the Company filed a motion in the bankruptcy case to approve the
proposed sale of substantially all of its assets to Algonquin Capital
Management, L.L.C. and Hibernia Capital Management, L.L.C., subject to
higher and better offers. By order dated February 6, 2003, the
Bankruptcy Court authorized the asset sale agreement with Algonquin
Capital Management L.L.C. and Hibernia Capital Management L.L.C. as
modified by the Creditor Settlement Agreement and assumption and
assignment of certain executory contracts, licenses and intellectual
property rights for a credit bid of $2,000,000. As part of the
Creditor Settlement Agreement, Algonquin Capital Management L.L.C. and
Hibernia Capital Management L.L.C. reconveyed to the bankruptcy estate
a 60% ownership in the Water Assets of the Company. The Bill of Sale
consummating the sale was signed on February 19, 2003. During
September 2003, an additional $80,000 was paid to the Company by
PowerPlay Energy pursuant to the creditor settlement agreement.
Having sold its assets and ceased operations, the Company was not in a
financial position to support the on-going operations needed to
develop the Water Assets. On May 20, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court
approved the sale of the Company's interest in the Water Assets to
Oases Desalination International, Ltd. in exchange for their covenant
to commercialize those assets and make certain royalty payments. Since
that time, and although they have made certain minimal payments, Oases
has been in default. Subsequently, Oases Desalination International,
Ltd. and ReEnergy Group entered into an asset purchase agreement in
which Oases Desalination International, Ltd. would sell all of its
assets, including the Water Assets, to ReEnergy Group. Because Oases
Desalination International, Ltd. is in default with the Company and
has not paid for the Water Assets, Oases Desalination International,
Ltd. and Renergy Group sought the Company's consent wherein ReEnergy
Group would directly purchase the Water Assets from the Company. After
significant negotiations, the Creditors' Committee, Oases Desalination
International, Ltd. and ReEnergy Group entered into the Consent
Agreement, in order to, among other things, provide the Company's
consent to transfer the Water Assets to ReEnergy Group for a modified
consideration of $750,000 for the Water Assets. On October 26, 2005,
an application was filed with the Bankruptcy Court to approve this
arrangement and the arrangement was approved by order dated November
16, 2005. The Company has received all of the funds in this
transaction and is being held in an account maintained by bankruptcy
counsel for the Committee.
In October of 2006, the Company signed a term sheet with Trinad
Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the Sponsor) to sponsor a plan of
reorganization. Prior to confirmation of the Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization, the Sponsor will identify a merger candidate to be
merged into the Company. The Sponsor is currently in negotiations with
NorthStar Systems International, Inc. as the potential merger
candidate. Before the merger can take place, the Company is required
to bring all of its financial, tax and SEC filings current from the
last filing date of June 30, 2002. Pursuant to orders of the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, the
Company has engaged

NOTE 5 - BANKRUPTCY (Continued)
accountants, auditors and SEC counsel to complete this task. Under the
terms of the proposed plan, creditors of the Company will receive a
pro rata cash payment and stock consideration in the new merged
entity. The aforementioned consideration will be distributed to
creditors of the Company under the proposed plan of reorganization.
NOTE 6 - SALE OF ASSETS
During the quarter ending March 31, 2003, the Company filed a motion
in the bankruptcy case to approve the proposed sale of substantially
all of its assets to Algonquin Capital Management, L.L.C. and Hibernia
Capital Management, L.L.C., subject to higher and better offers. By
order dated February 6, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the
asset sale agreement with Algonquin Capital Management L.L.C. and
Hibernia Capital Management L.L.C. as modified by the Creditor
Settlement Agreement and assumption and assignment of certain
executory contracts, licenses and intellectual property rights for a
credit bid of $2,000,000. As part of the Creditor Settlement
Agreement, Algonquin Capital Management L.L.C. and Hibernia Capital
Management L.L.C. reconveyed to the bankruptcy estate a 60% ownership
in the Water Assets of the Company. The Bill of Sale consummating the
sale was signed on February 19, 2003. As a result of this asset sale
the Company recognized a gain on sale of assets in the amount of
$1,723,486. The Company had no basis in the water assets prior to the
original sale and therefore recognized no gain on the subsequent
return of those assets.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company sold its
ownership interest in the water assets pursuant to an order dated
November 16, 2005, by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York. As consideration for this ownership
interest the Company received total cash proceeds of $750,000 paid in
three installments. The first two installments were made prior to
December 31, 2005, and totaled $100,000. The remaining $650,000 was
recorded as a receivable balance at December 31, 2005, and was
subsequently received during January 2006.
NOTE 7 - DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION FINANCING
During the six months ending June 30, 2003, the Company received
$136,818 from the issuance of notes and advances pursuant to a
debtor-in-possession financing facility, approved pursuant to an order
by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York. The applicable interest rate was 15%.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
During August 2007 the Company entered into a settlement agreement in
connection with the debtor-in-possession financing whereby the total
balance of principal and accrued interest was settled for a one time
payment of $380,000. As a result of the settlement the Company
recognized a gain on settlement of debt of approximately $21,700.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
Readers should refer to the description of the Company's bankruptcy case (the
"Bankruptcy Case") described in the Notes to the Financial Statements included
in Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB and in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the annual
period ended December 31, 2006.
Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
- -------------------------------------------------
The business of the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 included
only its consideration of various plan of reorganization opportunities and
incurring administrative expenses in connection with the Bankruptcy Case, e.g.,
related to legal, accounting and administrative activities. There were no
revenue-generating activities. The Company has had no employees since 2003. The
administrative activities of the Company are performed by outside consultants
and advisors. Direct administrative expenses of the Company totaled $134,692 and
$33,806 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The increase in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year
is due primarily to legal, auditing and consulting fees as the Company attempts
to complete and exit bankruptcy and bring its filings current with the SEC.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Primary sources of liquidity since the Company ceased operations have been cash
balances that have been used to pay administrative expenses. Operating expenses
of the Company have been funded with available cash retained from the two asset
sales effected as part of the Bankruptcy Case. As of the date of the filing of
this Form 10-QSB with the SEC, cash totals approximately $227,210. Based on such
balance and management's forecast of activity levels during the period that it
may remain without operations, the Company is uncertain as to whether the
present cash balance will be sufficient to pay its current liabilities and its
administrative expenses as such expenses become due; provided that, if the Plan
is confirmed, the Company believes that the present cash balance will be
sufficient to pay its current liabilities and its administrative expenses as
such expenses become due.
Uncertainties Relating to Forward Looking Statements
- ----------------------------------------------------
"Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and other
parts of this Form 10-QSB contain certain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. While the Company
believes any forward-looking statements it has made are reasonable, actual
results could differ materially since the statements are based on current
management expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited, to the following:
o There can be no assurance that the plan of reorganization filed with
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York ("Bankruptcy Court") on January 15, 2008, or any other plan of
reorganization, will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court and
effected.
o There can be no assurance that Trinad Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the
"Plan Sponsor") will reach agreement on definitive documentation for
a merger with NorthStar Systems International Inc. ("NorthStar"), or
any other potential merger candidate.
o Even if a plan of reorganization is approved by the Bankruptcy Court
and effected, there can be no assurance as to the terms of any such
plan, including without limitation as to the distributions, if any,
to be made to existing creditors and stockholders of the Company.
o The Plan Sponsor may withdraw at any time prior to confirmation of a
plan of reorganization, including without limitation, due to
unsatisfactory results of its due diligence on NorthStar. In such
event, the Company may substitute the Plan Sponsor with another
person or entity offering to purchase stock in the newly merged
entity under the plan of reorganization on terms and conditions that
may not be the same, or as economically favorable to the Company's
estate, as those are being offered by the Plan Sponsor. In such
event, the recovery for unsecured creditors would likely be
dramatically reduced.
o No public market exists for stock in the merged entity, and it is
not anticipated that any will necessarily develop in the foreseeable
future. Therefore, notwithstanding the legal ability to trade such
stock, any recipient thereof should expect that it might have to
hold the stock for an indefinite period of time.
