Independent Accountants' Report
Board of Directors
Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Advanced Optics
Electronics, Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2000, and the
related condensed statements of operations, cash flows and changes in
stockholders' equity for the quarter and the six month period ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, and for the 2000, 1999, and 1998 portion of the period from May
22, 1996 (inception) through June 30, 2000. The 1996 and 1997 portion of the
condensed financial statements for the period from May 22, 1996 (inception)
through June 30, 2000, were audited by other auditors whose report dated
February 5, 1998, expressed an unqualified opinion.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation. The interim financial information included herein is
unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), although the
Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 1999.
Other than as indicated herein, there have been no significant changes from the
financial data published in that report. In the opinion of management, such
unaudited information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals and other adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the unaudited information.
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.
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. As of
June 30, 2000, completion of this contract was behind schedule and the first
milestones for billing had not yet been met. While management believes the
contract will ultimately be completed, because the technology has not yet been
used in a commercial application, there can be no certainty that this will be
accomplished. In addition, the Company may be required to obtain additional
capital in order to fund the completion of the contract.
Marketable Equity Securities. The Company classifies all of its marketable
equity securities as available for sale securities. Available for sale
securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses
reported in Other Comprehensive Income. As of June 30, 2000, gross unrealized
losses for the quarter were $5,813 and not considered significant to the
financial statements taken as a whole. Therefore, they have been reported in the
income statement.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
Inventories. 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.
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. Certain options and
warrants outstanding were not included in the computation of loss per share
because their effect would be antidilutive. Convertible preferred stock issued
during the quarter also was not included in the computation of loss per share
because their effect would be antidilutive.
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 allowances and the valuation of common
stock issued for services.
Revenue and Cost Recognition. The Company recognizes 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.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
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 $398,000 in the first unit has been recognized as of June 30,
2000. The Company's estimated cost to complete as of June 30, 2000 is $417,000,
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 have been no billings through June 30, 2000.
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.

NOTE 4. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION
Convertible Notes. On June 3, 1999, the Company issued $500,000 in convertible
notes which bear interest at an annual rate of 8 percent and mature (principal
and interest) on May 31, 2001. Effective August 1, 1999, the notes are
convertible into shares of common stock at a 25 percent discount to the closing
bid price of a share of common stock at the time of conversion or the time of
exercise. The notes were issued in exchange for $430,000 in cash, $50,000 in
legal services and $20,000 in commissions. The commissions have been capitalized
as debt origination costs and are being amortized over the life of the notes.
The notes are unsecured.
The intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the principal and accrued
interest was estimated to be $174,610. This has been recorded as an increase in
paid-in capital and a discount to the convertible notes payable, with related
amortization being charged to interest expense. The discount is being amortized
over a one year period, which is management's estimate of time before any
conversion will be exercised. The convertible notes also include detachable
warrants for the purchase of 12,500,000 shares of common stock at the lower of
75 percent of the closing bid price of a share of common stock at the time of
exercise or September 1, 1999. The warrants expire on June 3, 2002. Management
estimates that approximately half the warrants will be exercised prior to
expiration.
Management estimated the fair market value of these warrants at $125,000 and
recorded this amount as an increase in paid-in capital and a discount to the
convertible notes payable. The discount is being amortized over the two year
life of the notes.
A significant contingency required by the aforementioned convertible note and
warrant agreements is the registration of the underlying shares with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The company is to use its best efforts to
register these shares and is in the process of preparing the registration
statement.
On June 12, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement that modified the
convertible notes agreement entered into on June 3, 1999. The result of the
modified agreement was the issuance of 9,200,000 shares of the Company's common
stock upon conversion of the convertible notes plus accrued interest through
June 12, 2000, which totaled $542,878. This transaction constituted a conversion
of the outstanding convertible notes, and as such, $40,058 of unamortized
intrinsic value of the conversion feature was charged to interest expense during
the quarter. In addition, the modified agreement voided the related 12,500,000
detachable warrants, and as a result the unamortized discount of $72,917 on the
estimated fair market value of $125,000 for the warrants was charged to interest
expense during the quarter.

NOTE 5. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
The Company was initially capitalized through the issuance of 500,000 shares for
$25,000 in cash. In November 1996, the Company issued 4,500,000 shares in
exchange for the outstanding shares of PLZ Tech, Inc. The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase and net assets of $285,596, consisting primarily of
patents and equipment were recorded. In previous financial statements, the
Company did not present unclaimed shares resulting from the merger with PLZ
Tech, Inc. as outstanding shares. In the accompanying 1997 and prior financial
statements the number of shares outstanding has been restated to include these
shares.
During 1997, the Company issued 2,281,212 shares of stock in a public offering,
primarily for cash.
During 1998, the Company repurchased 472,200 of its outstanding stock in
exchange for $10,000 in notes receivable and $30,385 in cash in various
transactions. This stock was subsequently retired.
The Company also issued 9,274,811 shares of common stock in exchange for
$1,292,707 in cash, net of sales commissions and other direct costs. Certain of
these sales included price maintenance agreements resulting in the issuance of
an additional 1,704,464 shares of stock in 1998.
In 1998, the Company issued 2,751,000 shares of common stock in exchange for
services from contractors, officers and others. These shares were valued at the
estimated fair market value for similar issuances of stock and amounted to
$296,470. The Company also issued 315,000 shares to an officer in exchange for a
note receivable of $29,000. The notes bear interest at the rate of 7 percent
with interest due semiannually and the principal due July, 2001.
In 1999, the Company repurchased 489,251 shares of its outstanding stock for
$11,132 in cash. These shares were retired. The Company also repurchased 229,000
shares for $41,760 and resold 85,000 of these shares for $35,464. The remaining
144,000 treasury shares have been recorded at cost.
The Company also sold 8,681,624 shares for $863,782 in cash, and issued
17,094,313 shares for services from contractors, officers and others, which were
valued at $1,486,414.
During the quarter ending March 31, 2000, the Company sold 782,000 shares of its
common stock for $368,495 in cash, and issued 1,791,733 shares of its common
stock for services from contractors, officers and others, which were valued at
$1,120,233. The value of the services is included in the costs and expenses on
the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 5. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
Also during this quarter, the Company sold 25,000 shares of its treasury stock
for $49,770 and repurchased 6,500 shares for $7,683. The repurchased shares have
been recorded at cost.
On March 14, 2000, the Company issued 550 shares of its Series A convertible
preferred stock for $550,000. Related finders fees and attorney fees were
$65,000, and were netted against the proceeds for a net increase in cash and
equity of $485,000. Effective June 14, 2000, the shares are convertible into
shares of common stock at the lesser of 110 percent of the closing bid price of
a share of common stock on March 13, 2000 or 77.5 percent of the average of the
five lowest closing bid prices for the common stock for the twenty trading days
immediately preceding the conversion date.
Management estimated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature to be
$159,677. This has been recorded as an increase in paid-in capital and a
discount to the convertible preferred stock, with related amortization being
charged to retained earnings via constructive dividends. The discount is being
amortized over a 90 day period, which is the period from the date of issuance to
the point at which the preferred shares can be converted to common shares. The
convertible preferred stock also includes detachable warrants for the purchase
of 55,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price per share equal to 110
percent of the closing bid price for the common stock on the closing date (March
8, 2000). The warrants expire on March 8, 2005. The detachable warrants have not
been valued in the accompanying financial statements, as management estimates
their fair market value to be immaterial.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 1,247,970 shares of
its common stock for services from contractors, officers and others, which were
valued at $385,429. The value of the services is included in the costs and
expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Company also repurchased 44,000
shares of its outstanding common stock for $33,817 in cash. These shares
remained in treasury at June 30, 2000, and have been recorded at cost.
Also during this quarter, an officer of the Company exercised 1,000,000 stock
options at a price of .12 cents per share. The Company issued a note receivable
to the officer in the amount of $120,000 for the shares. Interest for the first
quarter was prepaid.
NOTE 6. STOCK PLANS
During the quarter ending June 30, 2000, the Company granted an additional
1,250,000 stock options to certain key employees. This results in total stock
options granted and unexercised of 8,525,000 as of June 30, 2000. The shares
issued upon exercise of the options may be authorized and unissued shares or
shares held by the Company in its treasury. The exercise date of options granted
is based upon the related agreement as approved by the Board of Directors. Also
during this quarter, an officer exercised his options and purchased 1,000,000
shares of common stock for $120,000 (see Notes 2 and 5).

OVERVIEW
Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. is a technology company whose primary focus is
the development, production and sales of its electronic flat panel displays. The
primary initial product will be marketed to users of outdoor advertising
billboards. We believe that our product line will create a new segment of the
outdoor advertising industry where multiple ads can be displayed and changed.
This will create new and enhanced sources of revenue for billboard companies.
Our goal is to create a product line based on technology that is scalable both
in terms of size and resolution to meet a wide range of requirements related to
site, economics and use from our potential customers. The major advantages of
our flat panel displays are viewing quality,
20
<PAGE>
affordability, customer system integrity, and remote change in seconds to reduce
advertising site maintenance and increase revenues. We also plan the development
of a leasing program and an Owned & Operated group.
The Company was organized as a Nevada corporation on May 22, 1996. On November
7, 1996, the Company acquired the business and patents of PLZTech, a company
involved in the development of flat panel displays. Our operating activities
have related primarily to the initial planning and development of our product
and building our operating infrastructure.
We expect our principal source of revenue to be derived from sales of our
electronic display product. To date we have recognized limited revenue, but we
have developed a working prototype, which was completed during the quarter, and
we anticipate sales by year-end.
Our operating expenses have increased significantly since our inception, and the
rate of increase has risen since last year. This is due to increased engineering
and management staff and investments in operating infrastructure. Since our
inception we have incurred significant losses and, as of June 30, 2000, had an
accumulated deficit of $6.3 million.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Due to our limited operating history, we believe that period-to-period
comparisons of our results of operations are not fully meaningful and should not
be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
Revenue. Since our inception, we have been in the development stage and have had
only limited revenue. Revenues decreased to $1,588 in the second quarter of 2000
from $70,000 in the second quarter of 1999.
Product Development. Product development expenses consist primarily of personnel
expenses, consulting fees and depreciation of the equipment associated with the
development and enhancement of our flat panel displays. Research development and
technical costs increased to $134,660 in the second quarter of 2000 from $38,167
in the second quarter of 1999. We believe that continued investment in product
development is critical to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result,
expect product development expenses to increase significantly in future periods.
We expense product development costs as they are incurred.
General and Aministrative. General and administrative expenses consist of
expenses for executive and administrative personnel, facilities, professional
services, travel, general corporate activities, and the depreciation and
amortization of office furniture and leasehold improvements. General and
administrative costs increased to $565,882 in the second quarter of 2000 from
$305,972 in the second quarter of 1999. The increase was primarily due to
increased personnel, professional
21
<PAGE>
service fees and facility expenses. Due to the growth of our business and
continuing expansion of our staff, we expect general and administrative costs to
increase. The costs associated with being a publicly traded company and future
strategic acquisitions will also be a contributing factor to increases in this
expense.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) consists of interest and other
income and expense. Interest income decreased to $3,407 in the second quarter of
2000 from $5,105 in the second quarter of 1999. The increase in interest income
was due to an increase in our average net cash and cash equivalents balance.
Depreciation increased to $37,556 in the second quarter of 2000 from $27,371 in
the second quarter of 1999 due primarily to depreciation expense for equipment
acquired under capital leases.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the private
placement of equity securities. As of June 30, 2000 we have raised net proceeds
of $3,399,984. We have also utilized an equipment loan and capital lease
financing. As of June 30, 2000 we have a balance of $19,799 on the equipment
loan and $42,023 on the capital lease.
In August 1998 Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. entered into a lease agreement
for the financing of equipment for the development of its flat panel display
systems. The Company is required to repay the $101,000 in equal monthly payments
of the lease. Monthly payments on the lease are approximately $2,850. The term
of the lease is 3 years and is backed by the credit of the Company.
The Company's holding in BioModa, Inc will provide additional liquidity. BioModa
is a biomedical development company. The Company's ownership of BioModa, as of
June 30, 2000, was 20%.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2000 $46,962 was spent for the purchase of
equipment. Product development expenditures were $134,660 in 2000. Funds for
operations, product development and capital expenditures were provided from the
sale of securities and cash reserves. As of June 30, 2000, we had approximately
$496,307 of cash and cash equivalents.
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 the third quarter 2000. 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.
