RISK FACTORS
THIS INVESTMENT HAS A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. BEFORE YOU INVEST YOU SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE OTHER
INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR,
OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE HARMED AND THE
VALUE OF OUR STOCK COULD GO DOWN. THIS MEANS YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR A PART OF
YOUR INVESTMENT.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR CURRENT FINANCING AGREEMENT:
THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES UNDERLYING OUR CONVERTIBLE NOTES, AND
WARRANTS THAT ARE BEING REGISTERED IN THIS PROSPECTUS SALE AND THE SALE OF THESE
SHARES MAY DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
As of December 18, 2003, we had approximately 106,367,172 shares of common stock
issued and we are registering in this prospectus shares of common stock
underlying convertible promissory notes that may be converted into an estimated
60,000,000 shares of common stock at current market prices, and warrants to
purchase 4,000,000 share of common stock. As sequential conversions and sales
take place, the price of our securities may decline and if so, our convertible
note holders would be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares, which
could then be sold, triggering further price declines and conversions for even
larger numbers of shares, to the detriment of the investors in this offering.
All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the
note and upon exercise of our warrants, may be sold without restriction. The
sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE NOTES
COULD REQUIRE US TO ISSUE A SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER NUMBER OF SHARES, WHICH WILL
CAUSE DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our convertible securities is
essentially limitless. As sequential conversions and sales take place, the price
of our securities may decline and if so, our convertible note holders would be
entitled to receive an increasing number of shares, which could then be sold,
triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of
shares, to the detriment of the investors in this offering. All of the shares,
including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the note and upon
exercise of our warrants, may be sold without restriction. The sale of these
shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The following is an example of the amount shares of our common stock that is
issuable, upon conversion of our convertible notes, based on market prices 25%,
50% and 75% below the market price, as of December 18, 2003 of $0.03.
With Percentage of
% Below Market Price Per Share Discount of 22% Number of Shares Issuable Outstanding Stock
- -------------- --------------- --------------- ------------------------- -----------------
25% $.0225 $.018 436,944,444* 46.05%
50% $.015 $.012 659,166,667* 56.15%
75% $.0075 $.006 1,325,833,333* 71.92%
* This number exceeds our authorized common stock of 250,000,000.
As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
our convertible notes being registered in this prospectus will increase if the
market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing
stockholders.
3
THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UPON CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND EXERCISE OF
OUTSTANDING WARRANTS MAY CAUSE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR
EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
The issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible note and exercise of
warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other
stockholders since the selling stockholder may ultimately convert and sell the
full amount issuable on conversion. Although the selling stockholder may not
convert their convertible note and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion
or exercise would cause them to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common
stock, this restriction does not prevent the selling stockholder from converting
and/or exercising some of their holdings and then converting the rest of their
holdings. In this way, the selling stockholder could sell more than this limit
while never holding more than this limit. If this 4.99% limitation is waived
there is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued which will
have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting
power of holders of our common stock , including investors in this offering, and
may result in a change of control of One Voice.
THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES MAY ENCOURAGE INVESTORS TO MAKE SHORT SALES IN OUR COMMON STOCK,
WHICH COULD HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at a
20% discount to the average of the three lowest volume weighted average price
during the 20 days prior to the conversion. The significant downward pressure on
the price of the common stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells
material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by investors. This
could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The
selling stockholder could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of
covering the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause the
further downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of
shares issued upon conversion or exercise of debentures, warrants and options,
but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect
the market price of the common stock.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS:
WE HAVE LOST MONEY SINCE INCEPTION. WE EXPECT FUTURE LOSSES AND WE MAY NEVER
BECOME PROFITABLE.
Since inception, we have incurred significant losses. We expect to continue to
incur net losses until sales generate sufficient revenues to fund our continuing
operations. We may fail to achieve significant revenues from sales or achieve or
sustain profitability. There can be no assurance of when, if ever, we will be
profitable or be able to maintain profitability.
IF WE DO NOT BECOME PROFITABLE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS.
Our future sales and profitability depend in part on our ability to demonstrate
to prospective customers the potential performance advantages of using voice
interface software. To date, commercial sales of our software have been limited.
A lack of a proven market or market studies for our product means that while we,
software engineers and software magazine writers may believe the public will
enthusiastically accept voice interface software, the true market for this
product may be minor or nonexistent. This could result in little or no sales
revenue without which we will not be able to continue our operations
indefinitely.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR
BUSINESS.
Our current corporate entity commenced operations in 1999 and has a limited
operating history. We have limited financial results on which you can assess our
future success. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses
and difficulties frequently encountered by growing companies in new and rapidly
evolving markets, such as voice recognition software, media delivery systems and
electronic commerce.
4
To address the risks and uncertainties we face, we must:
- -- establish and maintain broad market acceptance of our products and
services and convert that acceptance into direct and indirect sources
of revenues;
- -- maintain and enhance our brand name;
- -- continue to timely and successfully develop new products, product
features and services and increase the functionality and features of
existing products;
- -- successfully respond to competition from Microsoft and others,
including emerging technologies and solutions; and
- -- develop and maintain strategic relationships to enhance the
distribution, features and utility of our products and services.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS WILL BE
HARMED.
We believe that our available short-term assets and investment income will be
sufficient to meet our operating expenses and capital expenditures through the
end of fiscal year 2003. We do not know if additional financing will be
available when needed, or if it is available, if it will be available on
acceptable terms. Insufficient funds may prevent us from implementing our
business strategy or may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate certain
contracts for the provision of voice interface software.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS ARE LIKELY TO FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY.
As a result of our limited operating history and the rapidly changing nature of
the markets in which we compete, our quarterly and annual revenues and operating
results are likely to fluctuate from period to period. These fluctuations may be
caused by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These
factors include the following, as well as others discussed elsewhere in this
section:
- -- how and when we introduce new products and services and enhance our
existing products and services;
- -- our ability to attract and retain new customers and satisfy our
customers' demands;
o the timing and success of our brand-building and marketing
campaigns;
o our ability to establish and maintain strategic relationships;
o our ability to attract, train and retain key personnel;
o the demand for voice recognition Internet search software
applications;
o the emergence and success of new and existing competition;
o varying operating costs and capital expenditures related to
the expansion of our business operations and infrastructure,
domestically and internationally, including the hiring of new
employees;
o technical difficulties with our products, system downtime,
system failures or interruptions in Internet access;
o changes in the mix of products and services that we sell to
our customers;
o costs and effects related to the acquisition of businesses or
technology and related integration; and
- -- costs of litigation and intellectual property protection.
In addition, because the market for our products and services is relatively new
and rapidly changing, it is difficult to predict future financial results.
For these reasons, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of our
financial results, if any, as indications of future results. Our future
operating results could fall below the expectations of public market analysts or
investors and significantly reduce the market price of our common stock.
Fluctuations in our operating results will likely increase the volatility of our
stock price.
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT-STAGE COMPANY AND UNEXPECTED OR UNCONTROLLABLE BUSINESS OR
ECONOMIC FORCES ARE MORE LIKELY TO HARM US.
We are in the development or starting stages of our business plan and are
therefore more vulnerable to unexpected or uncontrollable business and economic
forces. We lack any loyalty and brand name recognition from potential customers
and business partners. Unknown software errors may not be corrected in time to
develop a sustainable customer base. Unfavorable product reviews or news reports
could squelch early sales efforts. A competitor may quickly release a better
version of a similar product before we can complete our development efforts.
Economic conditions such as a national or world recession, international trade
restrictions on computer product sales, or a slowdown in new technology growth
could reduce our revenues below financially-healthy levels. The risks of a
development-stage company include a lack of job security for employees and the
possible loss of all investment funds by investors
5
OUR CURRENT AND POTENTIAL COMPETITORS, SOME OF WHOM HAVE GREATER RESOURCES AND
EXPERIENCE THAN WE DO, MAY DEVELOP PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES THAT MAY CAUSE
DEMAND FOR, AND THE PRICES OF, OUR PRODUCTS TO DECLINE.
A number of companies have developed, or are expected to develop, products that
compete with our products. Competitors in the voice interface software market
include IBM, Lernout and Hauspie Speech Products, SpeechWorks and Nuance. We
expect additional competition from other companies such as Microsoft, who has
recently made investments in, and acquired, voice interface technology
companies. Furthermore, our competitors may combine with each other, and other
companies may enter our markets by acquiring or entering into strategic
relationships with our competitors. Current and potential competitors have
established, or may establish, cooperative relationships among themselves or
with third parties to increase the abilities of their advanced speech and
language technology products to address the needs of our prospective customers.
Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories,
significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing
resources, greater name recognition and larger customer bases than we do. Our
present or future competitors may be able to develop products comparable or
superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies,
evolving industry trends and standards or customer requirements, or devote
greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than
we do. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets,
competition may intensify and future competition may harm our business.
ANY INABILITY TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY COULD HARM OUR
ABILITY TO COMPETE.
Our future success and ability to compete depends in part upon our proprietary
technology and our trademarks, which we attempt to protect with a combination of
patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as with our
confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. These legal protections
afford only limited protection and are time-consuming and expensive to obtain
and/or maintain. Further, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third
parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.
We have recently been issued our first patent. In addition we have received a
notice of allowance regarding a second and third patent. Any patents that are
issued to us could be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. If challenged,
our patents might not be upheld or their claims could be narrowed. Our
intellectual property may not be adequate to provide us with competitive
advantage or to prevent competitors from entering the markets for our products.
Additionally, our competitors could independently develop non-infringing
technologies that are competitive with, equivalent to, and/or superior to our
technology. Monitoring infringement and/or misappropriation of intellectual
property can be difficult, and there is no guarantee that we would detect any
infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights. Even if we do detect
infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights, litigation to
enforce these rights could cause us to divert financial and other resources away
from our business operations. Further, we license our products internationally,
and the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to
the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
OUR PRODUCTS MAY INFRINGE UPON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS AND
RESULTING CLAIMS AGAINST US COULD BE COSTLY AND REQUIRE US TO ENTER INTO
DISADVANTAGEOUS LICENSE OR ROYALTY ARRANGEMENTS.
The software industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of
patents and frequent litigation based on allegations of patent infringement and
the violation of intellectual property rights. Although we attempt to avoid
infringing upon known proprietary rights of third parties, we may be subject to
legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by us or our licensees of
third-party proprietary rights, such as patents, trade secrets, trademarks or
copyrights, from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Any claims
relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not
successful or meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert resources
and management's attention or require us to enter into royalty or license
agreements which are not advantageous to us. In addition, parties making these
claims may be able to obtain injunctions, which could prevent us from selling
our products. Furthermore, former employers of our employees may assert that
these employees have improperly disclosed confidential or proprietary
information to us. Any of these results could harm our business. We may be
increasingly subject to infringement claims as the number of, and number of
features of, our products grow.
6
IF THE STANDARDS WE HAVE SELECTED TO SUPPORT ARE NOT ADOPTED AS THE STANDARDS
FOR SPEECH-ACTIVATED SOFTWARE, BUSINESSES MIGHT NOT USE OUR SPEECH-ACTIVATED
SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR DELIVERY OF APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES, AND OUR REVENUE
GROWTH COULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
The market for speech-activated services software is new and emerging. Certain
industry software standards have, however, been established but may change as
the technology evolves. We may not be competitive unless our products support
changing industry software standards. The emergence of industry standards other
than those we have selected to support, whether through adoption by official
standards committees or widespread usage, could require costly and time
consuming redesign of our products. If these standards become widespread and our
products do not support them, our clients and potential clients may not purchase
our products, and our revenue growth could be adversely affected. Multiple
standards in the marketplace could also make it difficult for us to design our
products to support all applicable standards, which could also result in
decreased sales of our products.
OUR FAILURE TO RESPOND TO RAPID CHANGE IN THE MARKET FOR SPEECH-ACTIVATED
SERVICES SOFTWARE COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE REVENUE AND HARM OUR BUSINESS.
The speech-activated services software industry is relatively new and rapidly
evolving. Our success will depend substantially upon our ability to enhance our
existing products and to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective
basis, new products and features that meet changing end-user requirements and
incorporate technological advancements. If we are unable to develop new products
and enhanced functionalities or technologies to adapt to these changes, or if we
cannot offset a decline in revenue from existing products with sales of new
products, our business will suffer.
Commercial acceptance of our products and technologies will depend, among other
things, on:
- -- the ability of our products and technologies to meet and adapt to the
needs of our target markets;
- -- the performance and price of our products as compared to our
competitors' products;
- -- our ability to deliver customer service directly and through our
resellers; and
- -- the ability of our customers to utilize our product.
OUR PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE 100% ACCURATE AT RECOGNIZING SPEECH OR AUTHENTICATING
SPEAKER IDENTITIES AND WE COULD BE SUBJECT TO CLAIMS RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE
OF OUR PRODUCTS. ANY CLAIMS, WHETHER SUCCESSFUL OR UNSUCCESSFUL, COULD RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND COULD DAMAGE OUR REPUTATION.
Speech recognition, natural language understanding and authentication
technologies, including our own, are not 100% accurate. Our customers will use
our products to provide important services to their customers. Any
misrecognition of voice commands or incorrect authentication of a user's voice
in connection with these transactions could result in claims against us or our
customers for losses incurred. Although our contracts will typically contain
provisions designed to limit our exposure to liability claims, a claim brought
against us for misrecognition or incorrect authentication, even if unsuccessful,
could be time-consuming, divert management's attention, result in costly
litigation and harm our reputation. Moreover, existing or future laws or
unfavorable judicial decisions could limit the enforceability of the limitation
of liability, disclaimer of warranty or other protective provisions contained in
our contracts.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MADE BY US AND ACTUAL
RESULTS MAY DIFFER.
Some of the information in this Form SB-2 contains forward-looking statements
that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these
statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "expect," "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should read
statements that contain these words carefully because they:
- -- discuss our future expectations;
- -- contain projections of our future results of operations or of our
financial condition; and
- -- state other "forward-looking" information.
7
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may
be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which
we have no control. The risk factors listed in this section, as well as any
cautionary language in this prospectus, provide examples of risks, uncertainties
and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the
expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. You should be aware
that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK:
IF WE FAIL TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF PUBLIC MARKET ANALYSTS AND INVESTORS, THE
MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY.
Public market analysts and investors have not been able to develop consistent
financial models for the Internet market because of the unpredictable rate of
growth of Internet use, the rapidly changing models of doing business on the
Internet and the Internet's relatively low barriers to entry. As a result, and
because of the other risks discussed in this prospectus, it may be likely that
our actual results will not meet the expectations of public market analysts and
investors in future periods. If this occurs, the price of our common stock will
likely fall.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO "PENNY STOCK" RULES.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has adopted Rule 15g-9
which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant
to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the
investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's
account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
(ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience
in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in
penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction
in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to
the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on
which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the
broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to
the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in
penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,
current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to
an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly
statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny
stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks

OVERVIEW
One Voice Technologies, Inc. is a voice recognition technology company with over
$26 million invested in Research and Development and deployment of more than 20
million products worldwide in seven languages. To date, our customers include
Warner Brothers and Disney with strong technology and business partnerships with
Philips Electronics and IBM. Based on our patented technology, One Voice offers
voice solutions for the Telecom, Enterprise, PC, and Interactive Multimedia
markets. Our solutions allow business and consumer phone users to Voice Dial,
Group Conference Call, Read and Send E-Mail and Instant Messages all by voice.
We offer these solutions through both domestic and international wireless and
wireline carriers along with reseller channels for corporations with a mobile
workforce. We offer PC manufacturers the ability to bundle a complete voice
interactive computer assistant which allows PC users to talk to their computers
to quickly launch applications, websites, read and send E-mails and dictate
letters. We feel we are strongly positioned across these markets with our
patented voice technology.
In the Telecom sector, as stated in the October 9, 2003 press release, we are
moving forward with Nextel de Mexico on a subscriber launch. The launch date has
not yet been determined and is conditioned on Nextel de Mexico's internal
review. Nextel de Mexico is the regional operator of Nextel International, whose
other regions include Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru. This agreement covers
deployment only in Mexico and will be followed by a formal contract outlining
complete service level commitments, support, infrastructure, costs, etc. We are
currently negotiating an agreement with Radiomovil Dipsa, S.A. De C.V.
("Telcel"), the largest wireless carrier in Mexico, to perform a free
three-month market trial of our MobileVoice solution. This free three-month
market trial is scheduled to begin in Q1' 2004 after which time Telcel will have
the option to purchase the MobileVoice solution. We are in discussions regarding
our MobileVoice solution with two additional carriers in Mexico along with four
carriers domestically but these discussions are in the preliminary stages and no
commitments have been made. Regarding T-Mobile Austria, in August we upgraded
their MobileVoice system from English to German. We are in discussions with
T-Mobile Austria's product team regarding their decision on launching the
service to their subscribers. There is no timeframe yet regarding when a
decision will be made from T-Mobile Austria. We are in discussions with one
other carrier in Austria regarding our MobileVoice solution and their interest
in launching this service to their subscribers but these discussions are in the
preliminary stages and no commitments have been made.
10
In the Enterprise sector, Procter & Gamble ("P&G"), the Fortune 50 Company that
has been evaluating our MobileVoice system, has previously expressed interest in
purchasing our MobileVoice system but this decision has been significantly
delayed due to the fact that P&G has recently outsourced the majority of its IT
infrastructure to Hewlett Packard ("HP"). This transition has caused major
delays in approval of our MobileVoice solution, which it is our understanding
requires approval now from both P&G and HP. We anticipate a decision in Q1'
2004.
In the PC sector we are actively working with four major PC manufacturers
regarding our Windows XP Media Center Edition software. We have initial project
approval from one of these four PC manufacturers but we have several more
approval levels before they commit to bundling our software on their PC's. We
anticipate this full approval process to be completed in Q1' 2004.
In October 2003, we announced that we had signed a deal with the Walt Disney
Internet Group (http://www.dig.com) to provide speech recognition technology to
be incorporated in one of their upcoming educational software titles.
In October 2003, we held our Annual Shareholders' Meeting. The meeting was well
attended by shareholders, company officers and directors. Agenda items included
a proxy report, a review of 2003 results, plans for 2004 and concluded with
demonstrations of the MobileVoice system in English, Spanish and German along
with a demonstration of the new One Voice Media Center Edition PC based
software.
The shareholders ratified all matters presented in the proxy. This includes
approval of the fourth amended and restated stock option plan, approval to amend
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of
shares of common stock and approval of the Board of Directors for 2003. The
independent auditors, Stonefield Josephson, Inc., were also ratified as the
company's auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003.

DISCUSSION OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED WITH THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002.
Net revenue totaled $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Net
revenues of $30,000 were earned for the three months ended September 30, 2002.
Revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2003 resulted from the sale
of our product and work performed for a studio.
Operating expenses increased to $1,699,466 for the three months ended September
30, 2003 from $1,521,718 for the same period in 2002. The increase in operating
expenses over the same quarter in 2002 was a direct result of a decrease of all
major expense categories and an increase in interest expense for the period as
compared to the year prior. Salary and wage expense was $268,225 for the three
months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $355,606 for the same period in
2002. The decrease in 2003 as compared to 2002 arose primarily from the
decreased labor force, which we have restructured to accommodate our new
direction into the telecom, telematics and TV/Internet appliance initiatives.
Legal and consulting expenses decreased to $52,579 for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 from $60,208 for the same period in 2002. Depreciation and
amortization expenses decreased to $159,983 for the three months ended September
30, 2003 from $213,082 for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to
the full depreciation of some computer equipment in 2002. Amortization and
Depreciation expenses consisted of patent and trademarks, computer equipment,
consultant fees, and tradeshow booth. Interest expense increased to $874,394 in
2003, as compared to $478,335 in 2002.

Operating expenses decreased to $4,600,565 for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 from $5,550,482 for the same period in 2002. The net decrease in
operating expenses over the same quarter in 2002 was a result in part due to
concerted effor to reduce operating expenses, the decreased non-cash interest
expense associated with debt financings and other expense categories, which
decreased for the period as compared to the year prior. Non-cash interest
expense decreased to $1,809,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as
compared to $1,869,858 for the same period in 2002. Salary and wage expense
decreased to $927,847 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared
to $1,110,075 for the same period in 2002. The decrease in 2003 as compared to
2002 arose primarily from the decreased labor force, which we have restructured
to accommodate our new direction into the telecom, telematics and TV/Internet
appliance initiatives. Advertising and promotion expense totaled $0 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $14,290 for the same period in
2002. Advertising and promotion expense reduction resulted from the company
discontinuing all direct to consumer marketing campaigns and focusing on other
distribution channels. Professional fees and consulting expenses decreased to
$198,217 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $365,122 for the same
period in 2002. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $511,071 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $637,600 for the same period in
the prior year, primarily due to the full amortization of some computer

for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $5,265,915 or basic and
diluted net loss per share of $0.18 for the same period in 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Subsequent Events:
During the period from October 1, 2003 to December 15, 2003, approximately
$371,000 of principal and accrued interest were converted into 12,300,000 common
shares at an average price of $0.03 per share.
At September 30, 2003, we had negative working capital of $498,487 as compared
with $179,255 at September 30, 2002.
Net cash used for operating activities was $554,721 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 compared to $740,658 for the quarter ended September 30,
2002. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net cash used for
operating activities was $1,882,982 compared to $2,739,590 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. From inception on January 1, 1999 to September 30,
2003, net cash used for operating activities was $20,859,817.
Net cash used for investing activities was $18,426 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 compared to $8,427 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net cash used for investing
activities was $119,032 compared to $24,581 for the nine months ended September
30, 2002. From inception on January 1, 1999 to September 30, 2003, net cash used
for investing activities was $4,756,190.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $616,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 compared to $580,400 for the quarter ended September 30,
2002. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net cash provided by
financing activities was $1,412,750 compared to $2,630,233 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. From inception on January 1, 1999 to September 30,
2003 net cash provided by financing activities was $25,771,898.
We incurred a net loss of $1,655,466 during the quarter ended September 30,
2003, and had an accumulated deficit of $31,083,601. Our losses through
September 2003 included interest expense, amortization of software licensing
agreements and development costs and operational and promotional expenses. Sales
of our debt securities with embedded equity features have allowed us to maintain
a positive cash flow balance from financing activities.
13
We face considerable risk in completing each of our business plan steps,
including, but not limited to: a lack of funding or available credit to continue
development and undertake product rollout; potential cost overruns; a lack of
interest in our solutions in the market on the part of wireless carriers or
other customers; potential reduction in wireless carriers which could lead to
significant delays in consummating revenue bearing contracts; and/or a shortfall
of funding due to an inability to raise capital in the securities market. Since
further funding is required, and if none is received, we would be forced to rely
on our existing cash in the bank or secure short-term loans. This may hinder our
ability to complete our product development until such time as necessary funds
could be raised. In such a restricted cash flow scenario, we would delay all
cash intensive activities including certain product development and strategic
initiatives described above.
We have secured financing that we believe will sustain operations up to December
2003 and we continue to work closely with our current investors to secure
additional funding. We continue to rely heavily on our current funding sources,
which have financed us since 2001, until we are operationally breakeven. The
losses through the quarter ended September 30, 2003 were due to minimal revenue
and our operating expenses, with the majority of expenses in the areas of:
salaries, legal fees, licensing fees, as well as amortization expense relating
to software development and debt issue costs.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY
- ------------------
The presence of voice technology as an interface in mobile communications is of
paramount importance. Voice interface technology makes portable communications
products mobile, more effective and safer to use. One Voice's development
efforts currently are focused on the Telecom market and more specifically on
mobile communications and mobile messaging. The Messaging market, which has both
business and consumer market applications including: E-mail, Instant Messages,
SMS (Short Message Service), and Paging, is extremely large and is growing at an
astonishing rate. Over six trillion text messages are sent globally every year,
and messaging has also shown the consistent ability to generate significant
revenue. One Voice solutions enable users to send, intelligently route and
receive text messages using voice from any type of phone (wired or wireless)
anywhere in the world.
One Voice's solutions address the entire phone market including analog, digital,
CDMA, TDMA, GSM, iDEN and wired phones, allowing telephony carriers and users to
deploy solutions quickly with little additional effort. Given the growing
competition in the wireless markets and the opportunities presented by the
Mobile Internet, One Voice's 4th Generation Voice Technology is well positioned
for commercialization.
One Voice is focused on communications solutions that are mobile, not just
portable. Devices like PDA's, Laptops and Cell Phones are highly portable
because they are easily transported from location to location, but they are not
necessarily mobile (i.e. easy to use while one is moving). Mobile solutions are
not only portable, but they are easy and safe to operate while moving. Portable
solutions such as cell phones, PDA's and laptops are not easy to operate safely
while operating motor vehicles, especially in crowded and intense traffic. Case
in point, New York has passed legislation requiring hands-free use of cell
phones and any other communication device during the operation of an automobile
citing safety concerns. Currently 42 other states are considering similar
legislation. Additional legislation could significantly increase the immediate
demand for a completely integrated and voice activated mobile communication
solution. One Voice's technology supports hands-free operation and will bring
mobile phones and other devices into compliance with the newly adopted
legislation.

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
- -------------------
To date, widespread applications of voice technology for use in mobile
communication have been very basic, recognizing a limited number of words and
using rigid menu systems delivering a constrained amount of content. One Voice's
technology positions itself uniquely in the Voice Market. The Company's
Intelligent Voice Platform(TM) (IVP) uses patented Artificial Intelligence and
Natural Language Processing, which is highly intelligent, with the ability to
identify individual users, tap into a database of user specific information, and
dynamically learn and leverage a vocabulary of over 300,000 words. The
technology employs a flexible architecture, allowing it to reside and operate on
a device itself, in a server-based architecture or a mix of both, making it
extremely adaptable to different usage models. The IVP also provides
anytime/anywhere access to information, reduces training time and lowers costs
for both consumers and businesses. The technology is functionally superior and
extremely easy to use. Users can simply download information into the One Voice
server from e-mail applications directly, and the Voice Activated Dialing (VAD)
system is operational with no voice training needed.
One Voice has also developed several other technologies that enhance the
offerings of the IVP. MultiSite(TM) is a proprietary context-based searching
technology that finds multiple websites for any category and retrieves them
simultaneously. It is particularly helpful when performing Internet searching on
devices such as mobile phones. VoiceSite(TM) is a proprietary technology that
makes websites voice interactive. It allows companies to voice enable their
sites quickly and easily, as well as suggestively create a customized experience
for visitors.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
- ---------------------
One Voice is the industry's first and only provider of 4th Generation voice
technology. The evolution of speech technology can be broken into four
generations as follows:
GENERATION 1 systems require minimal processing power and storage and are often
used in embedded devices. These solutions can typically recognize 20-30 words or
less and are usually founded embedded in electronic devices such as phones,
toys, etc. Due to its limitations, this technology is typically used for limited
command & control functions or applications. Companies focused in this space
include Conversay and IBM among others.
GENERATION 2 systems expand the recognition capabilities seen in Generation 1
increasing the vocabulary to potentially hundreds of words. These systems
frequently use menus to support the delivery of content as seen in Interactive
Voice Response (IVR) systems for airline reservations, banking and Voice
Portals. Due to the use of menus, these systems can typically deliver a maximum
of 6-8 areas of content horizontally and 3-4 layers down in the menu trees
before running the risk of "user overload." Companies focused in this space
include Speechworks International, Nuance Communications, Preferred Voice,
HeyAnita, Bevocal and TellMe among others.
GENERATION 3 systems expand the recognition capabilities significantly to
hundreds of thousands of words. The systems can support continuous, free-form
transcription of voice into text. These systems are typically used for desktop
dictation applications running on PC's in the sectors of word processing,
medical and legal transcription. Companies focused in this space include IBM,
ScanSoft and Philips.
GENERATION 4 systems take the capabilities of all the previous generations and
adds powerful expert systems and Artificial Intelligence capabilities to allow
the solutions to not only recognize words, but also understand their meaning.
This opens the doors to higher degrees of personalization, more robust system
interaction and more advanced applications such as Voice-to-Text Messaging on a
phone and full Internet searching. One Voice is currently the only company in
the voice technology sector that offers 4th Generation voice technology.

MAJOR MARKET ADVANTAGES
- -----------------------
WIRELESS CARRIERS looking to drive incremental revenue could utilize One Voice's
technology to expand mobile messaging offerings. One Voice services apply to
100% of the addressable market, where extensive research clearly indicates
strong demand. One Voice can add significant fundamental value by creating
revenue opportunities through: 1) mobile use minutes, 2) recurring fees for
subscription services, 3) m-commerce transactions and 4) license fees for
voice-enabling content. One Voice's solutions can also play a key role in
helping wireless carriers differentiate their brand and service offerings,
attracting new users and reducing churn. Additionally, the interoperability of
One Voice's technology gives it the ability to link multiple wireless carrier
networks, creating greater flexibility and driving consumer demand.
INSTANT AND UNIFIED MESSAGING: OPERATORS of Instant Messaging and Unified
Messaging systems could significantly expand market share and drive revenues
through integration of the Company's technology with its messaging capabilities.
With One Voice, a mobile phone can be used to send instant messages, similar to
a PC or PDA. This ability provides a differentiation for the service and thus
drives additional revenue from other channels, such as Internet and e-mail
services.
INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS: Many of the leading mobile device hardware
manufacturers also provide infrastructure services to wireless carriers. One
Voice's technology provides a point of differentiation which could be bundled
with infrastructure. Wireless carriers could then offer the technology to their
subscribers, driving mobile phone minutes and increasing revenues.
VOICE TECHNOLOGY THROUGH PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE: A key advantage of the One Voice
technology is that it is platform independent. The technology is adaptable and
highly intelligent allowing it to operate on a device itself, in a server
environment or a combination of the two. This creates expansive market
opportunities including usage in mobile phones, PC's, wired and wireless
handheld devices and other consumer electronics products.
EMPLOYEES
At December 15, 2003, we employed 9 full-time employees and 2
consultant/part-time employees. None of these employees is subject to a

AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Our Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan) authorizes us to
grant to our directors, employees, consultants and advisors both incentive and
non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of our Common Stock. As of
December 31, 2001, our Board of Directors had reserved 3,000,000 shares for
issuance under the 1999 Plan, of which 2,078,625 shares were subject to
outstanding options and 921,375 shares remained available for future grants. Our
Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board (the Plan
Administrator) administers the 1999 Plan. The Plan Administrator selects the
recipients to whom options are granted and determines the number of shares to be
awarded. Options granted under the 1999 Plan are exercisable at a price
determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of the grant, but in no event
will the option price for any incentive stock option be lower than the fair
market value for our Common Stock on the date of the grant. Options become
exercisable at such times and in such installments as the Plan Administrator
provides in the terms of each individual option agreement. In general, the Plan
Administrator is given broad discretion to issue options and to accept a wide
variety of consideration (including shares of our Common Stock and promissory
notes) in payment for the exercise price of options. The 1999 Plan was
authorized by the Board of Directors and stockholders.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial
ownership of our common stock as of December 22, 2003 (i) by each person who is
known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock; (ii) by each
of our officers and directors; and (iii) by all of our officers and directors as
a group. Each person's address is c/o One Voice Technologies, Inc., 6333

(1) Beneficial Ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment
power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options or
warrants currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible
within 60 days of December 22, 2003 are deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage of the person holding such option or warrant but are not deemed
outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.
(2) iVantage, Inc. is wholly owned by Dean Weber, Chairman of the Board, CEO,
and President of One Voice Technologies, Inc. Mr. Weber is the beneficial owner
of the 1,600,200 shares in the name of iVantage, Inc. and those shares are also
included in the amount presented in this table for Mr. Weber.
(3) Includes 1,600,200 shares owned indirectly through iVantage, Inc.
(4) Represents options to purchase (i) 50,000 shares at an exercise price of
$6.080 per share; and (ii) 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per
share. These options are currently exercisable.
(5) Includes options to purchase (i) 50,000 shares at an exercise price of
$8.750 per share; and (ii) 25,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per
share. These options are currently exercisable.
(6) Represents shares underlying convertible notes and 4,817,143 shares
underlying warrants that are currently exercisable at an exercise price of
$0.0474 per share. Konrad Ackerman may be deemed a control person of the shares
owned by such entity. The selling stockholder has contractually agreed to
restrict its ability to convert or exercise its warrants and receive shares of
our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and
its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. If the selling stockholder
did not have such limitation, the maximum number and percentage of shares the
selling stockholder would be able to acquire, as of December 22, 2003 is
14,047,912 and 14.05%, respectively. Because the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible note is dependent in part upon
the market price of the common stock prior to a conversion, the actual number of
shares of common stock that will be issued upon conversion will fluctuate daily
and cannot be determined at this time. If the market price of the common stock
declines, the selling stockholder will receive a greater number of shares based
on a lower conversion price.
(7) Represents shares underlying convertible notes, and 4,118,306 shares
underlying warrants that are currently exercisable at an exercise price of
$0.0474 per share. Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd. is a private investment fund
that is owned by its investors and managed by Bristol DLP, LLC. The managing
members of Bristol DLP, LLC are Mr. Paul Kessler and Ms. Diana Derycz Kessler,
who have voting and investment control over the shares owned by Bristol
Investment Fund, Ltd. The selling stockholder has contractually agreed to
restrict its ability to convert or exercise its warrants and receive shares of
our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and
its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. If the selling stockholder
did not have such limitation, the maximum number and percentage of shares the
selling stockholder would be able to acquire, as of December 22, 2003 is
11,041,383 and 10.72%, respectively. Because the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible note is dependent in part upon
the market price of the common stock prior to a conversion, the actual number of
shares of common stock that will be issued upon conversion will fluctuate daily
and cannot be determined at this time. If the market price of the common stock
declines, the selling stockholder will receive a greater number of shares based
on a lower conversion price.
(8) Includes options to purchase 210,000 shares as they are currently
exercisable.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK IS A SUMMARY AND IS QUALIFIED IN
ITS ENTIRETY BY THE PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, WITH
AMENDMENTS, ALL OF WHICH HAVE BEEN FILED AS EXHIBITS TO OUR REGISTRATION
STATEMENT OF WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS IS A PART.
Our Amended Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 250,000,000
shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, $.001 par value per share. Holders of shares of common stock
are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the
stockholders. Holders of common stock have cumulative voting rights. Holders of
shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as
may be declared, from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion,
from funds legally available therefor. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of common stock
are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all
liabilities. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription
rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund
provisions with respect to such shares. The Board of Directors, from time to
time in its sole discretion, has the authority to fix the powers, rights,
qualifications, limitations, and restrictions pertaining to the preferred stock.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Under the Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, and our Bylaws, our directors will have no personal liability to us or
our stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or
alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care." This provision does not
apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions
that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation
or its stockholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the
director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard
for the director's duty to the corporation or its stockholders in circumstances
in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary
course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the
corporation or its stockholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's
duty to the corporation or its stockholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful
dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would
generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the
performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws is to
eliminate the rights of our Company and our stockholders (through stockholder's
derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover monetary damages against a
director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including
breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the
situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not
limit nor eliminate the rights of our Company or any stockholder to seek
non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach
of a director's duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws provide that if the Nevada
General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the future elimination or
limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors
will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as
amended. The Nevada General Corporation Law grants corporations the right to
indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with
applicable law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
23
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:
- -- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits the purchaser;
- -- block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
- -- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
- -- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
- -- privately-negotiated transactions;
- -- short sales;
- -- broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
- -- a combination of any such methods of sale; and
- -- any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The selling stockholder may pledge their shares to their brokers under the
margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a
margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares.
The selling stockholder may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and
calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities
and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. None of the
selling stockholder currently have open positions in One Voice.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other
broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling stockholder do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. If
any such arrangements are entered into, this prospectus will be amended to
disclose the arrangements and name of the broker-dealer participating in the
offering.
In addition, the selling stockholder should be aware that the anti-manipulation
provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will apply
to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholder and
that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in
the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the selling stockholder or
their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid
for or purchase, shares of our common stock while they are distributing shares
covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, the selling stockholder are not
permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is
taking place. We will advise the selling stockholder that if a particular offer
of common stock is to be made on terms materially different from the information
set forth in this Plan of Distribution, then a post-effective amendment to the
accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The selling stockholder may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the
shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholder,
but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts. We and the selling
stockholder have agreed to indemnify each other against certain losses, claims,
damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
24
PENNY STOCK
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has adopted Rule 15g-9
which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant
to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the
investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's
account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
(ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience
in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in
penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction
in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to
the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on
which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the
broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to
the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in
penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,
current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to
an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly
statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny
stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
25
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the
shares of common stock by the selling stockholder. We will not receive any
proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholder. We will
receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. Assuming all the shares
registered below are sold by the selling stockholder, the selling stockholder
will not continue to own any shares of our common stock.
The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is
offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of
shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares
of common stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of
common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of
the shares offered.

The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in
accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the
information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other
purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which
the selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and
also any shares, which the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within
60 days. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the
conversion of the convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment depending
on, among other factors, the future market price of the common stock, and could
be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table.
(1) Includes 200% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible
debentures and shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, based on current
market prices. Because the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the convertible note is dependent in part upon the market price of
the common stock prior to a conversion, the actual number of shares of common
stock that will be issued upon conversion will fluctuate daily and cannot be
determined at this time. However the selling stockholder has contractually
agreed to restrict its ability to convert or exercise its warrants and receive
shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held
by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99%
of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
(2) The selling stockholder is an unaffiliated third party that does not hold
any short positions in our securities. In accordance with rule 13d-3 under the
securities exchange act of 1934, Norman Lizt may be deemed a control person of
the shares owned by such entities.
(3) Includes i) 102,500,000 shares underlying our $250,000 convertible debenture
and ii) 2,500,000 shares of common stock underlying warrants issued to La Jolla
Cove in December 2003.
(4) Assumes that all securities registered will be sold.
(5) Includes shares of common stock underlying warrants that are currently
exercisable at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. In accordance with rule
13d-3 under the securities exchange act of 1934, Konrad Ackerman may be deemed a
control person of the shares owned by such entity.
(6) Includes shares of common stock underlying warrants that are currently
exercisable at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Bristol Investment Fund,
Ltd. is a private investment fund that is owned by its investors and managed by
Bristol DLP, LLC. The managing members of Bristol DLP, LLC are Mr. Paul Kessler
and Ms. Diana Derycz Kessler, who have voting and investment control over the
shares owned by Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd.
(7) Includes shares of common stock underlying warrants that are currently
exercisable at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Dr. Julian Ungar , an
unaffiliated third party, has investment power over the shares owned by such
entity.
26
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement with the selling stockholder in December 2003 for
the sale of (i) a $250,000 convertible debenture and (ii) a warrant to buy up to
2,500,000 shares of our common stock. We have received $150,000 and will receive
an additional $100,000 upon this prospectus being declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
In December 2003, we signed a Securities Purchase Agreement with La
Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. for the sale of a $250,000 8% convertible debenture
and a warrant to purchase up 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. The debenture
bears interest at 8%, matures in two years from the date of issuance, and is
convertible into our common stock. The number of common shares into which this
debenture may be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture being
converted multiplied by eleven, minus the product of the conversion price,
multiplied by ten times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted,
divided by the conversion price. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of
(i) $0.25; or (ii) 80% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted
average price days during the 20 trading days before but not including the
conversion date. The full principal amount of the convertible debentures are due
upon default under the terms of convertible debentures. The warrant must be
exercised concurrently with a conversion of the debenture for that number of
shares of common stock equal to 10 times the dollar amount of the debenture
being converted on that conversion date. The exercise price of the warrant is
$1.00 per share.
We are obligated to file this Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 to register the underlying conversion shares within 30
days of closing and have said Registration Statement effective no later than 90
days after closing, subject to certain extension provisions..
La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. has contractually committed to convert at
least 7.0% of the original face value of the debenture monthly, beginning the
month after the effective date of the Registration Statement. In addition, in
conjunction with each debenture conversion, La Jolla is required to exercise
warrants and purchase shares of common stock equal to ten (10) times the dollar
amount of the debenture being converted.
La Jolla has further contractually agreed to restrict its ability to
convert the debenture or exercise its warrants and receive shares of our common
stock such that the number of shares held by La Jolla and its affiliates after
such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of our common stock.
In the event an election to convert is made and the volume weighted
average price of our common stock is below $0.025 per share, in lieu of
permitting the conversion and issuing our common stock, we have the right to
prepay any portion of the outstanding Debenture that was elected to be
converted, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 110.0%.
La Jolla may demand repayment of the debenture within 3 business days
of such demand, at 125.0% of the face amount outstanding, plus all accrued and
unpaid interest, in cash at any time prior to the date that underlying
Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 has not been declared
effective by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, if such delay in
effectiveness results from our failure diligently to pursue the Registration
Statement to effectiveness. If the repayment is accelerated, we are also
obligated to issue to La Jolla 50,000 shares of common stock and $15,000 for
each 30 day period, or portion thereof, during which the face amount, including
interest thereon, remains unpaid with the payment to increase to $20,000 for
each 30 day period the balance remains unpaid after the initial 90 day period.
The conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the
warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock
dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater
or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result
in dilution of the selling stockholder's position.
A complete copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement and related
documents was filed with the SEC as exhibits to our Form SB-2 relating to this
prospectus.

SAMPLE DEBENTURE CONVERSION CALCULATION
The number of common shares into which this debenture may be converted
is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture being converted multiplied by
eleven, minus the product of the conversion price, multiplied by ten times the
dollar amount of the debenture being converted, divided by the conversion price.
The conversion price is equal to the lesser of (i) $0.25; or (ii) 80% of the
average of the three lowest volume weighted average price days during the 20
trading days before but not including the conversion date. For example, assuming
conversion of a $250,000 debenture on December 22, 2003, a conversion price of
$0.024 per share, the number of shares issuable upon conversion would be:
[($250,000 x 11) - ($0.024 x (10 x $250,000))]/$0.024 = 162,916,667 shares of
common stock
SAMPLE WARRANT EXERCISE CALCULATION
The warrant holder is obligated to exercise the warrant concurrently
with the conversion of the debenture for a number of shares equal to ten times
the dollar amount of the debenture being converted. Based on the above Sample
Debenture Conversion Calculation, the selling stockholder converted $250,000 of
the debenture. Accordingly, the selling stockholder is obligated to exercise the
warrant into the following number of common shares for an aggregate exercise
price equal to $2,500,000:
$250,000 x 10 = 2,500,000 shares of common stock
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of common stock being offered hereby will be passed
upon for us by Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, New York, New York.

ONE VOICE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
(1) ORGANIZATION:
One Voice Technologies, Inc. (formerly Conversational Systems, Inc.) was
incorporated under the laws of the State of California on April 8, 1991. The
Company commenced operations in 1999.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring accruals), which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods
presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year ending December 31, 2003. The financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the
annual report of One Voice Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 2002.
GOING CONCERN:
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company incurred a net loss of $4,556,565 during the nine months ended September
30, 2003 and had an accumulated deficit of $31,083,601. The Company had a
working capital deficit of $498,487 at September 30, 2003. Cash flows used for
operations amounted to $1,882,982 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern unless the Company enters into a significant revenue-bearing
contract. Management is currently seeking additional equity or debt financing.
Additionally, management is currently pursuing revenue-bearing contracts
utilizing various applications of its technology including wireless technology.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
BUSINESS ACTIVITY:
One Voice Technologies, Inc. is a developer of 4th Generation voice solutions
for the Wireless, Telematics, TV/Internet appliance and Interactive Multimedia
markets.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenues when earned in the period in which the service
is provided. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with
all applicable accounting regulations, including American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9. Any revenues from
software arrangements with multiple elements are allocated to each element of
the arrangement based on the relative fair values using specific objective
evidence as defined in the SOPs. If no such objective evidence exists, revenues
from the arrangements are not recognized until the entire arrangement is
completed and accepted by the customer. Once the amount of the revenue for each
element is determined, the Company recognizes revenues as each element is
completed and accepted by the customer. For arrangements that require
significant production, modification or customization of software, the entire
arrangement is accounted for by the percentage of completion method, in
conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 45 and SOP 81-1.
Service and license fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the
agreement. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized upon shipment of
the product.
INCENTIVE AND STOCK NONQUALIFIED OPTION PLAN:
Pro forma information regarding the effect on operations as required by SFAS 123
and SFAS 148, has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement. Pro forma
information, using the Black-Scholes method at the date of grant, is based on
the following assumptions:
Expected life 2.7 Years
Risk-free interest rate 5.0%
Dividend yield -
Volatility 100%
This option valuation model requires input of highly subjective assumptions.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the option's vesting period. No expense was
recognized under APB 25. The Company's pro forma information is as follows:

During April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149 - "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective for contracts entered
into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, except as stated
below, all provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The
provisions of this Statement that relate to Statement 133 Implementation Issues
that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003,
should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective
dates. In addition, paragraphs 7(a) and 23(a), which relate to forward purchases
or sales of securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be
applied to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30,
2003. The Company does not participate in such transactions, however, is
evaluating the effect of this new pronouncement, if any, and will adopt FASB 149
within the prescribed time.
During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150 - "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity", effective for
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise
is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June
15, 2003. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities
and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a freestanding financial
instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some
circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity.
Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current
definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of
Financial Statements. The adoption of this new pronouncement did not have a
material impact to the financial statements of the Company.

stock, at the holders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.1023 or (ii) 80% of the

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
One Voice Technologies, Inc.
San Diego, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of One Voice Technologies, Inc.,
a Nevada Corporation (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2002,
and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the period since
inception on January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2002. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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 provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of One Voice Technologies, Inc. as
of December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for the period since inception on
January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company incurred a net loss of $6,568,922 during 2002 and had an accumulated
deficit of $26,527,036. The Company had working capital of $408,921 at December
31, 2002. Cash flows used for operations amounted to $3,620,807 for the year
ended December 31, 2002. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern unless the Company enters into
a significant revenue-bearing contract. Management is currently seeking
additional equity or debt financing. Additionally, management is currently
pursuing revenue-bearing contracts utilizing various applications of its
technology including wireless technology. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.

Inc. a California corporation ("acquiror" or the "Company"), Dead On, Inc. has
been reversed merged into Conversational Systems, Inc. The Company accounted for
the acquisition of Dead On, Inc. using the purchase method of accounting. The
shares of Conversational Systems were exchanged for 7,000,000 newly issued
shares of Dead On, Inc. Because the former shareholders of Conversational
Systems, Inc. then became the majority shareholders of Dead On, Inc.,
Conversational Systems was treated as the acquiror under APB Opinion No. 16,
"Business Combinations."
In July 1999, the Company repurchased and retired 10,000,000 shares of its
common stock, $.001 par value per share. Due to the retirement of shares, the
former shareholders of Conversational Systems, Inc. have significant control in
Dead On, Inc.
Due to the contemplation and timing of the merger between Dead On, Inc. and
Conversational Systems, Inc. and the retirement of 10,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, these events were accounted for as a single transaction.
Conversational Systems, Inc. was liquidated with and into Dead On, Inc., which
then changed its legal name to One Voice Technologies, Inc., a Nevada
Corporation.
GOING CONCERN:
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company incurred a net loss of $6,568,922 during 2002 and had an accumulated
deficit of $26,527,036. The Company had working capital of $408,921 at December
31, 2002. Cash flows used for operations amounted to $3,620,807 for the year
ended December 31, 2002. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern unless the Company enters into
a significant revenue-bearing contract. Management is currently seeking
additional equity or debt financing. Additionally, management is currently
pursuing revenue-bearing contracts utilizing various applications of its
technology including wireless technology. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
BUSINESS ACTIVITY:
The Company develops and markets computer software using Intelligent Voice
Interactive Technology (IVIT(TM)) to website owners in the United States and
other countries.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE:
The Company is a development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage
Enterprises." The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts
to establish a new business, which is unrelated to the business of Dead On, and
its planned principal operations have not yet commenced. All losses accumulated
since inception of One Voice Technologies, Inc. have been considered as part of
the Company's development stage activities. Revenues of $387,771 during the year
ended December 31, 2002 is not substantial to the plan of the Company. These
revenues were derived from one project with one customer and currently no
revenue stream exists. The Company is continuing to focus on its development
activities.
FAIR VALUE:
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of accounts payable and
notes payable and accounts receivable as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments." The carrying value of the financial instruments accounts payable
approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments
and for convertible notes, the instruments are valued at the Company's effective
borrowing rate.
CASH:
EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which
are not securing any corporate obligations.

CASH, CONTINUED:
CONCENTRATION
-------------
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenues when earned in the period in which the service
is provided. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with
all applicable accounting regulations, including American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9. Any revenues from
software arrangements with multiple elements are allocated to each element of
the arrangement based on the relative fair values using specific objective
evidence as defined in the SOPs. If no such objective evidence exists, revenues
from the arrangements are not recognized until the entire arrangement is
completed and accepted by the customer. Once the amount of the revenue for each
element is determined, the Company recognizes revenues as each element is
completed and accepted by the customer. For arrangements that require
significant production, modification or customization of software, the entire
arrangement is accounted for by the percentage of completion method, in
conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 45 and SOP 81-1.
Service and license fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the
agreement. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized upon shipment of
the product.
NONMONETARY TRANSACTIONS:
The Company accounts for nonmonetary transactions based on the fair values of
the assets or services involved in accordance with APB No. 29, "Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions." The cost of a nonmonetary asset acquired in exchange
for another nonmonetary asset is the fair value of the asset surrendered to
obtain it.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS:
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, advertising and promotion costs approximated $25,000
and $388,000, respectively.

ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS, CONTINUED:
The Company also engages in barter advertising, which they account for in
accordance with EITF 99-17, determining the fair market value of the barter
advertising based on the fair value of non-barter advertising. The Company books
the revenue and related expenses from barter advertising up to the extent of the
non-barter advertising during the same period. During the year ended December
31, 2002, the Company did not recognize any revenues and expenses for barter
transactions as it did not enter into such transactions. During the year ended
December 31, 2001, the Company recognized $180,000 in revenues and expenses from
barter transactions. Advertising which did not qualify for recognition under
EITF 99-17, and therefore, is not reflected in these statements, totaled $87,500
for the year ended December 31, 2001.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are valued at cost. Depreciation is being provided by use
of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
ranging from three to seven years.
DEBT WITH STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS:
The proceeds received from debt issued with stock purchase warrants is allocated
between the debt and the warrants, based upon the relative fair values of the
two securities, and the balance of the proceeds is accounted for as additional
paid-in capital. The resulting debt discount is amortized to expense over the
term of the debt instrument, using the interest method. In the event of
settlement of such debt in advance of the maturity date, an expense is
recognized based upon the difference between the then carrying amount (i.e.,
face amount less unamortized discount) and amount of payment.
DEBT WITH BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURE:
In January 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task
Force issued EITF 00-27 effective for convertible debt instruments issued after
November 16, 2000. This pronouncement requires the use of the intrinsic value
method for recognition of the detachable and embedded equity features included
with indebtedness be valued using the relative fair value approach, and requires
amortization of the amount associated with the convertibility feature over the
life of the debt instrument rather than the period for which the instrument
first becomes convertible. The Company has entered into several transactions
involving debt with beneficial conversion feature, all of which are discussed in
Note 5.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS:
The Company accounts for their software development costs in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," ("SFAS No. 86").
SFAS No. 86 requires the Company to capitalize the direct costs and allocate
overhead associated with the development of software products. Initial costs are
charged to operations as research prior to the development of a detailed program
design or a working model. Costs incurred subsequent to the product release, and
research and development performed under contract are charged to operations.
Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated product life of four years on
the straight-line basis. Unamortized costs are carried at the lower of book
value or net realizable value.
Amortization expense totaled $390,967 and $383,115 for the years ended December
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Accumulated amortization as of December 31,
2002 amounted to $852,183.
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS:
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss only, and accordingly, a Statement of
Comprehensive Loss is not presented.
TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS:
The Company's trademark costs consist of legal fees paid in connection with
trademarks. The Company amortizes trademarks using the straight-line method over
the period of estimated benefit, generally four years. Amortization expense
charged for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 totaled $57,977 and
$53,226, respectively. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2002 amounted
to $148,667.
The Company's patent costs consist of legal fees paid in connection with patents
pending. The Company will amortize patents using the straight-line method over
the period of estimated benefit, generally five years. Amortization expense
charged for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $12,620. There was no
amortization expense charged for the year ended December 31, 2001.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS:
The Company periodically evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred
that may affect the estimated useful life or the recoverability of the remaining
balance of the patent and trademarks. Impairment of the assets is triggered when
the estimated future undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount
of the intangible asset. If the events or circumstances indicate that the
remaining balance of the assets may be permanently impaired, such potential
impairment will be measured based upon the difference between the carrying
amount of the assets and the fair value of such assets, determined using the
estimated future discounted cash flows generated.
NET LOSS PER SHARE:
For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the per share data is based on
the weighted average number of common (basic) and common equivalent shares
outstanding (diluted), and are calculated in accordance with Common stock
equivalents, consisting of 3,173,625 and 2,078,625 stock options, 3,464,297 and
1,457,567 stock warrants, and convertible notes estimated at 6,175,000 shares
(2002) and 2,700,000 (2001), using assumed conversion rate of $0.20 have not
been included in the computation of diluted weighted average number of common
shares outstanding, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for December 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary
differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.
INCENTIVE AND NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION:
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," requires use of option valuation models. Under APB 25, because
the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized. The Company follows SFAS No. 123 for stock options granted to
non-employees and records a consulting expense equal to the fair value of the
options at the date of grant.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
Pro forma information regarding the effect on operations as required by SFAS 123
and SFAS 148, has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement. Pro forma
information, using the Black-Scholes method at the date of grant, is based on
the following assumptions:
2002 2001
---- ----
Expected life 3 Years 3 Years
Risk-free interest rate 5.0% 5.0%
Dividend yield - -
Volatility 100% 155%
This option valuation model requires input of highly subjective assumptions.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the option's vesting period. The Company's
proforma information is as follows:

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141
supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 16 and requires that any
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for as a
purchase; therefore, eliminating the pooling-of-interest method defined in APB
16. The statement is effective for any business combination initiated after June
30, 2001 and shall apply to all business combinations accounted for by the
purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. The
adoption did not have a material impact to the Company's financial position or
results of operations, since the Company has not participated in such activities
covered under this pronouncement after the effective date.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles."
SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition, measurement and amortization of
intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not
those acquired in a business combination) and addresses the amortization
provisions for excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired or intangibles
acquired in a business combination. The statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, and is effective July 1, 2001 for any
intangibles acquired in a business combination initiated after June 30, 2001. As
of January 1, 2002, the Company implemented the guidance of SFAS 142. There was
no reclassification necessary of intangible assets related to the adoption of
SFAS 142 since all balances were previously classified as intangible assets. The
Company did not have a material impact to the Company's financial position or
results of operations from the adoption of this pronouncement.
In October 2001, the FASB recently issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," which requires companies to record the fair value of a
liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are
incurred. The statement applies to a company's legal obligations associated with
the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition,
construction, and development or through the normal operation of a long-lived
asset. When a liability is initially recorded, the company would capitalize the
cost, thereby increasing the carrying amount of the related asset. The
capitalized asset retirement cost is depreciated over the life of the respective
asset while the liability is accreted to its present value. Upon settlement of
the liability, the obligation is settled at its recorded amount or the company
incurs a gain or loss. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 30, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material
impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS, CONTINUED:
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". Statement 144 addresses the accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The statement
provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. New
criteria must be met to classify the asset as an asset held-for-sale. This
statement also focuses on reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a
business. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001. The Company did not have a material impact to the Company's financial
position or results of operations from the adoption of this pronouncement.
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and
Losses from Extinguishment of Debt", and an amendment of that Statement, FASB
Statement No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund
Requirements" and FASB Statement No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of
Motor Carriers". This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, "Accounting for
Leases", to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for
sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease
modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback
transactions. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The provisions
of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are
initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The
Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

In October 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain
Financial Institutions-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB
Interpretation No. 9", which removes acquisitions of financial institutions from
the scope of both Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those
transactions be accounted for in accordance with Statements No. 141, Business
Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In addition,
this Statement amends SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship
intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor- and
borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets.
The requirements relating to acquisitions of financial institutions is effective
for acquisitions for which the date of acquisition is on or after October 1,
2002. The provisions related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of
certain long-term customer-relationship intangible assets are effective on
October 1, 2002. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact
to the Company's financial position or results of operations as the Company has
not engaged in either of these activities.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", which amends FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the
disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in
both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of Statement
148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with earlier
application permitted in certain circumstances. The interim disclosure
provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements
for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations as the Company has not elected to change to the fair value
based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities." Interpretation 46 changes the criteria by which one
company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements.
Previously, the criteria were based on control through voting interest.
Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a
company if that company is subject to a majority of the entity's residual
returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is
called the primary beneficiary of that entity. The consolidation requirements of
Interpretation 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the
first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of
the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after
January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was
established. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact
to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, the average fair value of the
warrants amounted to $0.16 per share or total allocation of $118,000. This
amount was recorded as a discount against the face value of the notes payable.
In addition, since these debts were convertible into equity at the option of the

(5) CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE, CONTINUED:
During January 2002, the Company entered into a new convertible debt financing
agreement for $1,452,500 with Stonestreet Limited Partnership and Laurus Master
Fund, Ltd.. The stated interest rate was 4% per annum (effective interest rate
of 52%) and the unpaid principal and interest balance was due in full by January
7, 2004. Net proceeds to the Company amounted to approximately $1,326,000, which
was net of debt issue costs. The Company issued 500,000 warrants to acquire
500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.96.
Subsequently, in May 2002, due to an additional financing, these warrants were
repriced at $0.90 per share pursuant to the terms of this financing agreement.
In addition, since this debt is convertible into equity at the option of the
note holder at beneficial conversion rates, an embedded beneficial conversion
feature was recorded as a debt discount and amortized using the effective
interest rate over the life of the debt in accordance with EITF 00-27. Total
cost of beneficial conversion feature ($931,000), debt discount ($127,000), and
cost of warrants issued ($395,000) exceeded the face value of the notes payable,
therefore, only $1,452,500, the face amount of the note, was recognized as debt
discount, and was amortized over the life of the notes payable. Any unamortized
debt discount and beneficial conversion feature was charged to expense upon
conversion, as interest expense.

the lower of $.242 or 80% of the average of the five lowest closing bid prices
for the common stock thirty days prior to conversion. In addition, an aggregate
of 113,400 common stock purchase warrants were issued to the investor. Each
common stock purchase warrant has an exercise price of $.252. Net proceeds
amounted to $133,000, net of debt issue cash cost of $17,000. In addition, the
value of the warrants ($21,000) and the beneficial conversion feature pursuant
to EITF 00-27 of $60,000 was also recognized. Total debt issue cost of $98,000
was amortized over the life of the debt using the interest method. As of

(11) INCENTIVE AND NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN:
On July 14, 1999, the Company enacted an Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan") for its employees and consultants under which a maximum of
3,000,000 options (Amendment to increase the available shares from 1,500,000 to
3,000,000 approved by the shareholders in December 2001) and approved by the
shareholders may be granted to purchase common stock of the Company.
Two types of options may be granted under the Plan: (1) Incentive Stock Options
(also known as Qualified Stock Options) which may only be issued to employees of
the Company and whereby the exercise price of the option is not less than the
fair market value of the common stock on the date it was reserved for issuance
under the Plan; and (2) Nonstatutory Stock Options which may be issued to either
employees or consultants of the Company and whereby the exercise price of the
option is greater than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the
date it was reserved for issuance under the plan. Grants of options may be made
to employees and consultants without regard to any performance measures. All
options issued pursuant to the Plan vest at a rate of at least 20% per year over
a 5-year period from the date of the grant or sooner if approved by the Board of
Directors. All options issued pursuant to the Plan are nontransferable and

(11) INCENTIVE AND NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN, CONTINUED:
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," requires use of option valuation models. Under APB 25, because
the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized. The Company follows SFAS No. 123 for stock options granted to
non-employees and records a consulting expense equal to the fair value of the
options at the date of grant.
During 2000, the Company granted 53,725 stock options exercisable at an average
exercise price of $10.22 to consultants for professional services provided to
the Company. The options expire at various times through 2003. The options were
valued using the Black-Scholes method at the date of grant.
During 2001, the Company granted 250,000 stock options exercisable at an
exercise price of $0.65 to a consultant for professional services provided and
to be provided to the Company. The options expire at various times through 2004.
The options were valued using the Black-Scholes method at the date of grant.
Compensation expense, recognized over the vesting period, to consultants
pursuant to SFAS No. 123 amounted to $107,276 and $140,263 for the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
During 2002, the Company granted 1,095,000 stock options exercisable at an

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under the Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, and our Bylaws, our directors will have no personal liability to us or
our stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or
alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care." This provision does not
apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions
that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation
or its stockholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the
director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard
for the director's duty to the corporation or its stockholders in circumstances
in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary
course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the
corporation or its stockholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's
duty to the corporation or its stockholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful
dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would
generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the
performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws is to
eliminate the rights of our Company and our stockholders (through stockholder's
derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover monetary damages against a
director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including
breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the
situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not
limit nor eliminate the rights of our Company or any stockholder to seek
non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach
of a director's duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws provide that if the Nevada
General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the future elimination or
limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors
will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as
amended. The Nevada General Corporation Law grants corporations the right to
indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with
applicable law.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement, and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat
the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time
it was declared effective.
(5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
