On September 30, 1998, a share exchange agreement was made by and among Toups Technology Licensing, Inc and the owners at that time of Brounley Associates, Inc.. Brounley became a wholly owned subsidiary of Toups Technology through the exchange of 900,000 shares of Toups Technology common stock for all the issued and outstanding common stock of Brounley. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their carrying value plus an adjustment increasing certain fixed assets of $13,474 which was determined to be the estimated fair market value. The purchase price was $639,000 for the acquisition based on 900,000 shares issued at $0.71 per share (average cash price paid for the acquirer's common stock during the period). The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) was $391,942 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of radio frequency (RF) generators to customers located throughout the United States and abroad. Substantially all sales are to nationally or internationally based concerns in high technology industries. Method of Accounting The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Fixed Assets Major purchases of property and equipment having a life of more than one year are stated at cost and capitalized. Repair and maintenance items are charged against earnings. The Company uses tax depreciation lives and methods for both financial reporting and tax purposes which does not differ materially from generally accepted accounting principles and is calculated based on the following: Asset Category Method* Estimated Lives Computer equipment SL/DDB 5 years Furniture and fixtures SL/DDB 5 - 8 years Machinery and equipment manufacturing SL/DDB 5 - 8 years * SL - straight line DDB - double declining balance Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents consist of money market and municipal bond funds with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company does not consider any of its assets to meet the definition of cash equivalents. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounts Receivable The company has not established an allowance for uncollectible accounts, since all amounts are deemed collectible. NOTE 2 -- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Details of accounts receivable are: September 30, 1998 Accounts receivable - trade $168,602 Allowance for doubtful accounts -0- -------- Accounts receivable, net $168,602 ======== NOTE 3 -- INVENTORIES Details of inventories are: September 30, 1998 Raw materials $ 97,074 Work-in-process 11,150 Finished goods 55,353 Total inventories $163,577 Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or market.

On September 30, 1998, a share exchange agreement was made by and among Toups Technology Licensing, Inc and the owners at that time of Brounley Associates, Inc..

Lacher McDonald & Co., CPA's Certified Public Accountants, P.A. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Board of Directors Brounley Associates, Inc. Largo, Florida We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Brounley Associates, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and the related statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit. Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We did not observe the taking of the physical inventory at December 31, 1997 (stated at $237,682), since this date was prior to the time we were initially engaged as auditors for the Company. We were able to satisfy ourselves about inventory quantities by means of other auditing procedures. In our report dual dated October 19, 1998 and March 2, 1999, we expressed an opinion that except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to observe the physical inventories taken as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the 1997 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as of December 31, 1997 and the results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As described in Note 10, we were able to satisfy ourselves about inventory valuation by means of other auditing procedures. Accordingly, our present opinion on the 1997 financial statements, as presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brounley Associates, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 5 -- OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES Details of other current liabilities are: Income taxes payable $ 2,300 Accrued expenses 120 Total other current liabilities $ 2,420 There has been no accrual of vacation benefits earned but unused as employees are not allowed to carry this over from one year to the next and any amounts due at December 31, 1997 were not material to the payroll expense as a whole. NOTE 6 -- LONG-TERM LIABILITIES The balance reflected as long-term liabilities at December 31, 1997 relates to a note payable with an original principal balance of $47,500 and interest rate of 8% to a shareholder dating back to 1994 when the corporation was formed. No payments were made on this note prior to 1997. Maturities of this note are as follows: Years Ending December 31, Amount 1998 $15,325 1999 16,555 2000 10,935 Thereafter -0- Total $42,815 NOTE 7 -- COMMON STOCK The Company has 100,000 shares authorized, 24,444 shares issued and outstanding of $1 par value common stock as of December 31, 1997. During 1997 the Company purchased 2,222 shares from a shareholder. The stock was valued at $29,000. NOTE 8 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On September 30, 1998 a share exchange agreement was made by and among Toups Technology Licensing, Inc. and the owners at that time of Brounley Associates. Inc. Brounley Associates, Inc. combined with Toups Technology Licensing, Inc. through the exchange of 900,000 shares of Toups Technology Licensing, Inc. common stock for all the issued and outstanding common stock of Brounley Associates, Inc. NOTE 9 -- CORRECTION OF AN ERROR On September 30, 1998, 2,222 shares valued at $31,600 of Brounley Associates, Inc. common stock was issued to one of the principals of the Company. These shares were issued to compensate the principal for providing expertise, engineering services and the liberal use of his equipment and reputation during the years of 1994 and 1995. This transaction was initially recorded in 1998, but it was determined that in order to accurately reflect the timing of this transaction, the statements needed to be corrected to reflect these prior period transactions. The result of this transaction is to increase the common stock and additional paid in capital account balances at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 to $24,444 and $47,156, respectively. NOTE 10 -- ADDITIONAL SUBSEQUENT EVENT On July 16, 1999, Toups Technology Licensing, Inc. (the subsequent acquirer of the Company) engaged the original auditors of the Company to perform additional procedures regarding inventory. In the original audit, it was not cost effective for the auditors to perform extensive alternative procedures regarding inventory. During this subsequent engagement, the auditors performed various alternative procedures which allowed them to express an unqualified opinion. Based on these extensive additional procedures, the auditors found that no adjustment to inventory was necessary. However, it was discovered that the reversal of a sales invoice had been recorded incorrectly. The correction of this entry resulted in a decrease to sales of $61,000, a decrease to cost of goods sold of $44,000 and an increase to current liabilities of $14,000 (net of tax).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Board of Directors Brounley Associates, Inc. Largo, Florida Our report on our audit of the basic financial statements of Brounley Associates, Inc. for 1997 appears on page 3. That audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The analysis of cost of goods sold and the analysis of general and administrative expenses are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not required parts of the basic financial statements. We did not observe the taking of the physical inventories at December 31, 1997 (stated at $237,682), since this date was prior to the time we were initially engaged as auditors for the Company. We were able to satisfy ourselves about inventory quantities by means of other auditing procedures. The analysis of costs of goods sold and analysis of general and administrative expenses has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
