NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business. Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. (the Company) is a
developmental stage technology company with its principal focus on the
development and production of large-scale flat panel displays. The Company is
currently continuing its research and development of this product. Upon
substantial completion of the research and development of the large flat panel
display, the Company plans to make the transition from a developmental stage
company to selling and producing this product. The market for the large-scale
flat panel will include, but not be limited to, cockpit displays, flat panel
computer monitors, and advertising billboards. Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc.
plans to focus on producing and selling the large-scale flat panel displays for
outdoor advertising billboards, which is currently the only industry segment it
operates in.
The Company has obtained a contract to produce two outdoor advertising
billboards using its flat panel display technology. This is the first commercial
application of the Company's technology. The success of the Company will depend
on its ability to commercialize its technology and complete this contract. In
addition, the Company will be required to obtain additional capital in order to
fund the completion of the contract.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances
and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or
less. The Company's cash and certificates of deposit are deposited in financial
institutions and are insured only up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
Marketable Equity Securities. The Company classifies all of its marketable
equity securities as trading securities. Trading securities are carried at fair
value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in the income statement. As
of June 30, 1999, gross unrealized gains were $24,983 and gross unrealized
losses were $54,787. Realized gains and losses were not material.
Inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials and is carried at the lower of
cost (specific identification) or market.
Equity Investment. The investment in Bio Moda, Inc. is accounted for using the
equity method. Under this method, income and losses reported by the investee are
recorded by the Company in its proportionate interest at the time they are
recognized by the investee. The original cost of the Bio Moda, Inc. investment
exceeded the Company's proportionate interest in Bio Moda's book value. This
difference is being amortized over a 15 year period.
Depreciation. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets ranging from 3 to 10 years using
straight line and declining balance methods.
12
<PAGE>
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
Other Assets. Organization costs were amortized on a straight-line basis over
the period to be benefited of five years up until December 31, 1998. Patents are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful life of
15 years. Goodwill is amortized over the period to be benefited, or 40 years,
whichever is less. Debt origination costs are amortized over the life of the
related notes payable. The Company continually reviews other assets to assess
recoverability from estimated future net cash flows. To date, these reviews have
not resulted in a reduction of other assets.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for its income taxes using the liability
method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined
based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax
basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years
in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has provided a
valuation allowance to offset the benefit of any net operating loss
carryforwards or deductible temporary differences.
Loss per share. Loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the year and did not include the
effect of potential common stock as their effect would be antidilutive. The
numerator for the computation is the net loss and the denominator is the
weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements. Statement of Position 98-5 Reporting
the Costs of Start-up Activities requires that organization costs be expensed.
The Company applied this new accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 1999.
The impact of this change in accounting principle was to reduce assets and
increase the deficit accumulated during the development stage by $63,020 as of
December 31, 1998 and is presented as the cumulative effect of an accounting
change on the statement of operations. There are no related income tax amounts.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
principal areas requiring estimation are revenue recognition based on the
percentage of completion method, loss reserves and the valuation of common stock
issued for services.
13
<PAGE>
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
Revenue and Cost Recognition. The Company recognized revenue on its contract in
process using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, which is based
on the proportion of the contract cost incurred to the estimated total contract
cost. Costs incurred and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent the
revenue recognized that has not yet been billed.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect
costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies,
overhead, and equipment depreciation.
The contract to produce two outdoor advertising billboards totals $1.7 million,
with $885,000 allocated to the first unit. An estimated total loss of
approximately $51,000 in the first unit has been recognized as of June 30, 1999.
The Company's estimated cost to complete as of June 30, 1999 is $495,000 which
it expects to fund with cash, billings on the contract and additional capital.
In accordance with the contract, the Company will bill the customer when certain
milestones have been met. There were no billings as of June 30, 1999.
Adjustments to the original estimates of total contract revenue, total contract
cost, and extent of progress toward completion are often required as work
progresses under the contract and as experience is gained, even though the scope
of the work required under the contract may not change. The nature of accounting
for contracts is such that refinements of the estimating process for
continuously changing conditions and new developments are a characteristic of
the process. Accordingly, provisions for losses on contracts are made in the
period in which they become evident under the percentage-of-completion method.
Reclassifications. Certain amounts in 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with 1999 presentation.
NOTE 2. RELATED PARTY RECEIVABLES
Related party receivables at June 30, 1999, consist of the following:
Due from officer $ 40,508
Note receivable from former shareholder bearing
interest at 8% and due in February, 1999 15,000
---------
$ 55,508
=========
The note receivable from former shareholder was issued for $10,000 in the
Company's common stock and $5,000 in cash.

development of technology for the early detection of lung cancer. As a
development stage company, Bio Moda, Inc. has not had any revenues and, as of
June 30, 1999, was in the process of conducting clinical trials.
There is currently no active market for the common stock of Bio Moda, Inc. The
ultimate value of the Company's investment in Bio Moda, Inc. will depend on its

Forward - Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements about the business,
financial condition and prospects of the Company that reflect assumptions made
by management and management's beliefs based on information currently available
to it. The Company can give no assurance that the expectations indicated by such
forward-looking statements will be realized. If any of management's assumptions
should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such
expectations should materialize, the Company's actual results may differ
materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.
The key factors that are not within the Company's control and that may have a
direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, the
acceptance by customers of the Company's products, the Company's ability to
develop new products cost-effectively, the ability of the Company to raise
capital in the future, the development by competitors of products using improved
or alternative technology, the retention of key employees and general economic
conditions.
There may be other risks and circumstances that management is unable to predict.
When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as, "believes," "expects,"
"intends," "plans," "anticipates" "estimates" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain
forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions. All
forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created
by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company relies upon the purchase of its securities by investors to provide
capital. Capital is required for the development of prototype units and
manufacturing operations. Operating revenues from initial contracts also
contribute to operating liquidity. The Company's holding of stock in BioModa,
Inc will provide additional liquidity.

<PAGE>
BioModa is a biomedical development company. The Company's ownership of BioModa,
as of June 30, 1999, was 21.93%. No immediate family members of officers or
directors of Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. are securities holders of
BioModa.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999 $147,102 was spent for the purchase of
equipment and product development costs. Funds for operation needs, product
development and capital expenditures were provided from the sale of securities
and cash reserves. Product development expenditures are expected to be
approximately $250,000 in fiscal 1999.
Management believes that sales of securities, cash reserves and contract revenue
will provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet the anticipated
development stage requirements through the end of fiscal year 1999. At that time
it is anticipated that sales of flat panel displays will begin and contribute to
operating revenues. It is anticipated that these sales will provide the
additional capital resources to fund the proportionately higher working capital
requirements of production and sales initiatives. The Company currently has no
other significant commitments for capital expenditures in 1999.

of 1999 from $16,618 in the first half of 1998. The increase in these costs is
due primarily to increased research and development efforts and resources.
General and administrative costs increased to $412,542 in the first half of 1999
from $132,691 in the first half of 1998 due to increases in salaries related to
additional personnel and increases in professional fees.
