NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going
concern. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and
cash flows for the interim periods have been included. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company lacks product
revenues and has sustained substantial operating losses.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,761,000.
The Company intends to locate and enter into a transaction with an existing,
public or privately held company which in management's view, has growth
potential and may be involved in the software or technology industry. To that
end, the Company is currently engaged in negotiations with several candidates.
The Company's continued existence is dependent on its ability to negotiate such
a transaction and its ability to raise additional financing.
These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31,
1998.
2. Common Stock
The Company consummated a series of financing transactions in 1996. Warrants
were issued to Thinking Technologies, L.P. to purchase 468,242 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.07 per share, expiring December 2006. Warrants
to purchase 456,250 shares of the Company's common stock at $3.90 per share,
expiring August 2001, were also issued. In addition, in October and November
1996, the Company completed its initial public offering (the "IPO") (including
the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option) and issued 1,610,000
shares of common stock at $6.50 per share for net proceeds of approximately
$8,470,000. Approximately $1,856,500 of the net proceeds of the IPO were used to
retire outstanding indebtedness and accrued interest under the promissory notes
issued in the 1996 Bridge Financing. The remainder of the net proceeds of the
IPO were used to fund the Company's sales and marketing and product development
efforts, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection
with its IPO, the Company sold to its underwriter options to purchase 140,000
common shares for $.001 per option. These options are exercisable for a period
of five years at an exercise price equal to 160% of the initial public offering
price ($10.40 per share).
6
<PAGE>
On November 6, 1998, the Company approved a bridge financing offer from
Technologies, under which Technologies was granted the right to purchase up to
350 units for $1,000 per unit (the "1998 Bridge Financing"). Each unit (a
"Bridge Unit") consists of a Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of
$1,000, payable at 10% interest per annum (each, a "Bridge Note"), and a warrant
to purchase 30 shares of common stock of the Company, at a conversion price of
$.20 per share (each, a "Bridge Warrant"). Each Bridge Note is convertible into
5,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $.20 per share. One Bridge
Warrant shall be terminated upon each conversion of a Bridge Note. As of
November 1, 1999, Technologies has purchased 321 Bridge Units. This total
includes the reimbursement with Bridge Units for expenses incurred in obtaining
the 1998 Bridge Financing and for seeking a Target Business for the Company. The
proceeds of the 1998 Bridge Financing have been used for working capital and
general corporate purposes.
In July, 1999, the Company completed a bridge financing in which it sold 150
units (the "Gem Units") consisting of a 10% Unsecured Convertible Note in the
principal amount of $1,000 (each a "Gem Note") and a Warrant to purchase 30
shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price of $.20 per share
(each, a "Gem Warrant") to Gem Management Limited (the "Gem Financing") for
$150,000. Each Gem Note is convertible into 5,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at a conversion price of $.20 per share. Upon conversion of each Gem Note,
one Gem Warrant shall be terminated. The proceeds of this financing will be used
for working capital and general corporate purposes.
3. Accounting for convertible securities and beneficial fixed dollar conversion
In accordance with recent accounting standard consensus with regard to
recognizing the intrinsic value (that is, the difference between the conversion
price and fair value of the common stock into which a debt is convertible,
multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible) at the
commitment date, a portion of the proceeds from issuance of the convertible
debt, equal to the intrinsic value, is then allocated to additional paid-in
capital (APIC). Because the debt is convertible at the date of issuance, the
date discount is charged to interest expense at the date of issuance. In
accordance with this requirement the 1998 Bridge Financing Notes currently held
by Technologies resulted in a year to date, September 30, 1999, interest expense
recognition of $216,000.
4. Net Loss Per Share
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128
"Earnings Per Share." Due to the Company's net loss, all convertible securities,
options and warrants are antidilutive; hence both basic and diluted loss per
share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period.
7
<PAGE>
5. Reporting Comprehensive Income
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130
"Comprehensive Income," which requires that an enterprise report, by major
components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period
from non-owner sources. The Company's financial statements for the quarters
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 do not include amounts which are considered
components of other comprehensive income. Consequently, net income and
comprehensive income are equivalent for both periods as defined.
6. Notes Payable
In November 1998 the Company approved a Bridge Financing offer from
Technologies, under which Technologies was granted the right to purchase up to
$350,000 of Senior Secured Convertible Notes due within 90 days at 10% interest
per annum. Cash advances and certain expenses through September, 1999, resulted
in borrowings under the arrangement amounting to approximately $321,000.
In July, 1999, an additional unsecured convertible note of $150,000 with
interest of 10% per annum and with warrants to purchase common stock, was
entered into with Gem Management Ltd. (see note 2).
7. Related Party Transactions
The Company's Chairman of the Board controls Thinking Technologies, L.P., which
owns approximately 42% of the Company's outstanding common stock, owns warrants
to purchase additional shares of common stock, and has made a Bridge Loan to the
Company, as discussed in Notes 2 and 3. Included in accrued expenses at
September 30, 1999, is $250,000 due to the Company's Chairman of the Board for
consulting services as approved by the Board of Directors. This obligation may,
at the Company's election, be paid in options to purchase common stock. These
consulting services commenced October, 1997 for $150,000 per year less certain
related expenses. Consulting services for the third quarter have not been
included in the September 30, 1999 financial reports.
8. Significant Events
On October 13, 1999 Mr. John Hiles resigned from the Board of Directors of the
Company.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, other than the
historical financial information, constitute "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties or
other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievement of the
Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors
that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, risks and
uncertainties related to the Company's limited operating history, uncertain
future profitability, future financing needs, limited marketing experience and
dependence on emerging markets for business simulation software; competition
risks; uncertainties regarding the commercial acceptance of Think 2000 and the
development of additional products; risks associated with the Company's growth
strategy, and other risks described herein and in the Company's 1998 Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in the Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB.
OVERVIEW
The Company commenced operations in December 1993 to develop and market business
simulation software. Until April 1999, the Company was engaged in research and
development activities and organizational efforts, including the development of
its initial products, recruiting personnel, establishing marketing and
manufacturing capabilities and raising capital.
The Company commenced commercial activities in January 1994, but to date has not
generated substantial revenues from the sale of its products. Revenues generated
through October 30, 1997 were primarily derived from software development
projects completed under contracts with customers. Historically, a significant
portion of such revenues were derived from a limited number of relatively large
development projects contracted for by a small number of customers. Such
customers are not affiliated with the Company. The Company does not believe it
is materially dependent upon sales to these customers. Contracts with such
customers have been fully completed as of December 31, 1997. The Company
historically has not had, and at September 30, 1999, did not have, any firm
order backlog. During 1998, the Company sought to continue its previously
announced strategy to change its focus from custom projects to self funded
development of simulation for broader markets. The Company sought to leverage
its existing products and technology platform to become a product-oriented,
sales-driven company.
9
<PAGE>
During 1998, the Company focused primarily on the commercial introduction of
Think 2000, a Year 2000 risk simulation software program, which was introduced
in September 1997. Think 2000 was the first simulation product the Company
internally funded and brought to a broader market. The Company made a
significant investment in the development and commercialization of Think 2000.
Changes in market conditions and the failure of the Company to successfully
commercialize Think 2000 has had a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.
On May 5, 1998 the Company received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc ("Nasdaq") that the Company was not in compliance with certain quantitative
requirements for continued listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market. Nasdaq requires, among other things that companies listed on the Nasdaq
Small Cap Market maintain (i) net tangible assets of $2,000,000, (ii) a market
capitalization of $35,000,000, or (iii) net income (in the latest fiscal year or
two of the last three fiscal years) of $500,000. After a hearing before Nasdaq
on July 24, 1998, Nasdaq notified the Company on November 7, 1998 that its stock
had been delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market due to the Company's failure
to maintain compliance with these quantitative requirements. The Company's
Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, but the Company
intends to be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market again when it is able to
comply with Nasdaq listing requirements.
In light of the changes in market conditions, and the Company's failure to
commercialize Think 2000, on April 23, 1999, the Company announced that it was
eliminating substantially all of its operations and all personnel were separated
from the Company, other than those required to perform certain executive and
administrative functions. It has since begun to search for candidates with which
to enter into transactions. The Company has retained the technology underlying
the products it discontinued.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had experienced cumulative losses of
$12,761,000 and has not experienced any quarter of profitable operations. The
Company's operations to date have been funded primarily through private sales of
debt and equity securities and the IPO.
On October 13, 1999 Mr. John Hiles resigned from the Board of Directors of the
Company.
Plan of Business
The Company intends to locate and enter into a transaction with an existing,
public or privately-held company that in management's view, has growth potential
and may be involved in the software or technology industry (a "Target
Business"). To that end, the Company is currently engaged in negotiations with
several candidates. A combination may be structured as a merger, consolidation,
exchange of the Company's common stock for stock or assets or any other form
which will result in the combined enterprise's remaining a publicly-held
corporation.
10
<PAGE>
In order to continue the business while negotiations are pending, the Company
may be required to obtain additional financing in the form of convertible notes
and/or warrants to purchase common stock. Such financing is likely to be
obtained from one of the Company's current insiders on similar terms to previous
financings.
Pending negotiation and consummation of a transaction, the Company anticipates
that it will have, aside from carrying on its search for a transaction partner,
no business activities, and, thus, no source of revenue. Should the Company
incur any significant liabilities prior to a combination with a Target Business,
it may not be able to satisfy without additional financing such liabilities as
are incurred. If the Company's management pursues one or more combination
opportunities beyond the preliminary negotiations stage and those negotiations
are subsequently terminated, it is foreseeable that such efforts will exhaust
the Company's ability to continue to seek such combination opportunities before
any successful transaction can be consummated. In that event, the Company's
common stock will become worthless and holders of the Company's common stock
will receive a nominal distribution, if any, upon the Company's liquidation and
dissolution.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 decreased by
$190,000 from $193,000 for three months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was
due to the necessity to close operations in April, 1999.
Gross Margin. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
$3,000 compared to $193,000 for the comparable period ended 1998.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $477,000, or 91 %, for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, to $45,000, from $522,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. Selling, general, and administrative expenses consisted
primarily of costs associated with Audit and Legal. The decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the facility close down
in Monterey when, in April, 1999, the necessity to cease operations was evident
and the decision was made to act promptly and reduce additional and unnecessary
expenditures.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, decreased by $280,000, or 99%, to $2,000, from
$282,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease was
primarily due to reducing staff and all expenses as the Company closed all
operations in Monterey.
Interest Income/Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September
30, 1999 increased by $9,000 from nil for the three months ended September 30,
1998. There are two factors regarding the interest expense and primarily are as
follows:
(i) Interest of approximately $9,000 represents a 10% computation of interest
from April 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999 and is in accordance with the 1998
Bridge Financing between Technologies and the Company; and Interest expense
relating to the Bridge Financing between Gem Management Limited and the Company.
Interest income for three months ended
11
<PAGE>
September 30, 1999 was nil compared to $2,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. The interest income reported for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 was primarily due to the investing of the balance of excess
proceeds raised from the Company's IPO creating interest earnings.
Other Income. Other income net for the three months ended September 30, 1999
was nil compared to a nil net activity for the three months ended September 30,
1998.
Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 decreased by $556,000 or 91%, to $53,000, from $609,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998.
Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 decreased by
approximately $276,000, or 77% to $82,000 from $358,000 for nine months ended
September 30, 1998. During the nine month period ending September 30, 1998 sales
were derived from the "Think 2000" product. The decrease in revenues is
primarily due to the Company's not realizing the revenues originally anticipated
from the "Think 2000" product or any other sources. Changes in market conditions
and the Company's failure to successfully commercialize Think 2000 has had this
adverse effect on the Company. As a result of these facts the Company has closed
the Monterey facilities and all employees, with the exception of three, have
separated from the Company.
Gross Margin. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$82,000 as compared to $357,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
All costs of product are expensed directly to operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by approximately $1,449,000, or 86 % for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, to $232,000 from $1,681,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses
consisted primarily of costs associated with labor, legal, audit and the expense
of closing the Monterey facility.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 decreased by approximately $766,000, or 83% to $163,000
from $929,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Research and
Development expenses consisted primarily of labor and the expense of closing the
Monterey facility.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
increased by $234,000, to $238,000, from $4,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. There are two factors regarding the interest expense and
primarily are as follows:
12
<PAGE>
(i) Interest expense of approximately $23,000 represents a 10% computation of
interest from December 10, 1998 through September 30, 1999 and is in accordance
with the 1998 Bridge Financing between Technologies and the Company. A 10%
computation of interest from July 8, 1999 through September 30, 1999 and is in
accordance with the Bridge Financing between GEM LTD and the Company; and (ii)
Interest expense of approximately $216,000 represents the recognition of the
Bridge Notes at the lower of their conversion rate and a rate fixed at the
commitment date. The Bridge Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at
$.20 per share, less than the market price on the various dates of conversion.
Accounting standards require the appropriate reporting of this variance. The
"Additional Paid-In-Capital" area of the Balance sheet reflects the $216,000
adjustment.
Other Income. Other income net for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
nil compared to $29,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The
earnings reported at September 30, 1998 was primarily due to the investing of
the balance of excess proceeds raised from the Company's IPO creating interest
earnings
Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 decreased by $1,673,000 or 75%, to $551,000, from $2,224,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since its inception and through September 30, 1999, the Company has incurred
cumulative losses aggregating approximately $12,761,000 and has not experienced
any quarter of profitable operations. During the past three fiscal years, the
Company has satisfied its cash requirements principally from advances from
shareholders, private and public sales of equity securities and, to a limited
extent, from cash flows from operations. The primary uses of cash have been to
fund research and development and for sales, general and administrative
expenses.
At September, 1999, the Company had cash and equivalents of approximately
$5,000, a negative working capital of approximately $1,209,000 and a negative
shareholders' equity of approximately $1,263,000. At June 30, 1999, the Company
had long-term liabilities of approximately $10,000 outstanding.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, totaled approximately $424,000 and $2,382,000 respectively. The
funds from the first quarter ending March 31, 1998 were used primarily for the
Company's product development. Funds used during the quarter ending September
30, 1999 were used primarily to fulfill general operating expenses including
legal and audit.
The Company is currently evaluating its financing options and is actively
searching for candidates with which to enter into transactions. The Company's
management intends to consider only
13
<PAGE>
transaction candidates which in management's view, have growth potential. The
Company's limited financial resources may make the search difficult or even
impossible without additional financing. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain this goal on a timely basis, on favorable terms,
or at all. In any such event, the Company may be unable to implement its
business plan.
Year 2000
Currently, the Company has no active computer operations and will not have
active operations until and unless it enters into a transaction with a Target
Business. As part of its consideration of the merits of entering into a
transaction with a Target Business, the Company will consider the effects on the
Year 2000 problem on such Target Business and the actions taken by such Target
Business to be ready for Year 2000. In assessing the level of readiness of any
Target business, the Company considers the following to be the most important
factors: (1) the level of compliance of such Target Business' central computer
systems; (ii) the level of compliance of the software used in such Target
Business' ongoing operations; and (iii) the level of readiness of such Target
Business' largest vendors.
There can be no assurance that either a Target Business or any customers and
suppliers of such Target Business, will be year 2000 compliant. In the event
that any Target Business or any of such Target Business, customers or suppliers
do not install Year 2000 compliant systems, following such transaction the
Company may need additional clerical staff to perform certain tasks. There can
be no assurance that the Company will not have to bear additional costs and
expenses to the future related to the Year 2000 problem.
