FORM 10-QSB FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2000
INDEX
The financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 are
subject to adjustments that may result upon the receipt of an appraisal of the
value of certain warrants granted for services performed on behalf of the
Company and for the classification and valuation of certain assets acquired by
the Company in the acquisition of Tritium Network, Inc. ("Tritium"). Although
the Company believes that it has reasonably estimated the value of the warrants
and the assets acquired from Tritium, there can be no assurance that upon
receipt of a final appraisal, the Company will not be required to materially
adjust its financial statements to reflect the final appraisal values.
Additionally, no summarized and pro-forma financial information for the Tritium
acquisition is presently included.

THINKING TOOLS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and Form 10-KSB/A.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information. These financial statements include activity related to the
Company's subsidiary, StartFree.com, Inc., which was formed on March 6, 2000
(see below). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year. Except for the adjustments that may result upon receipt
of appraisals (see below), 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.
The financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the
Company will continue as a going concern. However, from inception, the Company
has experienced continuing losses, which total approximately $17,299,000 through
March 31, 2000.
Management has redirected the Company's strategy to reposition itself to
serve as a global information technology and Internet holding and incubating
company for high technology companies. The Company intends to continue to locate
and enter into transactions with existing, public or privately held companies
which, in management's view, have 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 additional acquisitions, to raise
additional financing and to develop successful future operations. Management
believes that actions presently being taken with regard to the Company's
operating and financial requirements will provide the opportunity for the
Company to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
2. Common and Preferred Stock Issued
On November 6, 1998, the Company approved a bridge financing offer from
Thinking Technologies L.P. ("Technologies"), under which Technologies was
granted the right to purchase up to $350,000 Senior Secured Convertible Notes
("Senior Notes") due within 90 days at 10% interest per annum, and warrants to
purchase shares of common stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company. Each $1,000
note was convertible into 5,000 shares of Common Stock,
6
<PAGE>
with expiration of the warrants upon conversion. During 1999, the Board approved
an increase in the bridge financing offer to Technologies to include expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company and accumulated interest. Technologies
advanced the Company cash and accumulated interest of $392,992 through December
31, 1999. The Senior Notes plus the advances and accumulated interest were
converted into 1,964,961 shares of the Company's common stock from November
through December 31, 1999. All warrants expired with the conversions.
In July 1999, the Company borrowed $150,000 from Gem Management by issuing
an additional unsecured convertible note, with interest of 10% per annum and
with warrants to purchase Common Stock at $.20 per share. The note and $5,554 of
accumulated interest were converted into 777,518 shares of Common Stock on
November 16, 1999. All warrants expired with the conversion
On March 6, 2000, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary,
StartFree.com (see Overview) which acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed specified liabilities of Tritium. The consideration for the acquisition
was paid through the issuance of 1,148,798.5 shares of a newly created Series A
convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock will be convertible into
11,487,985 shares of Common Stock when the Company files with the Secretary of
the State of the State of Delaware to increase the authorized number of Common
Stock to at least 35,000,000 shares.
Tritium was an Internet service provider based in Cincinnati, Ohio at the
time of the acquisition transaction. Tritium provided free Internet service to
subscribers in exchange for the display of advertisements on the lower portion
of the subscriber's screen. AdSmart Corporation ("AdSmart") agreed to provide
Internet-based advertising and to pay royalties to Tritium based upon the number
of individual advertisements viewed. In addition, one supplier provides
connectivity for Tritium's Internet network services. These agreements have been
assumed by StartFree and continue in effect.
The acquisition of the assets and specified liabilities of Tritium is
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations.
In connection with the accounting for this transaction, a substantial amount of
goodwill has been recorded and additional goodwill may be recorded upon the
Company's receipt of the final appraisal relating to the Tritium assets (see
above). The Company anticipates that the amortization of such goodwill will
substantially impact upon the Company's results of operations in future years.
In connection with the acquisition of Tritium, in November 1999, the Company
entered into a financing arrangement for $1,000,000 with certain investors for
the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $.50 per share. Upon
approval by the Company's Board of Directors of the Tritium acquisition on
December 10, 1999, an investor advanced $100,000 to the Company and $500,000 to
Tritium pursuant to a bridge note. On the closing date of the acquisition, (i)
the outstanding bridge note was repaid through applying the amount owed to the
purchase of the shares of the Company (ii) the investors provided the remaining
$400,000 under the agreement, and (iii) the balance of the 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock was issued. In March and April 2000, investors also purchased
300,000 and 20,000 additional shares of
7
<PAGE>
Common Stock, respectively, at $.50 per share, yielding an additional $160,000
of financing to the Company.
In connection with the Tritium acquisition, on March 10, 2000, 200
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share, were
issued to the Company's Chairman of the Board. The Series B Preferred Stock has
certain voting control rights until March 7, 2005.
In connection with the Tritium acquisition, the Company will effect an
increase in the authorized common and preferred stock to 75,000,000 and
5,000,000 shares, respectively.
Warrants
The Company consummated a series of financing transactions in 1996.
Warrants were issued to Technologies 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 Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.90 per
share (156,250 to Technologies and 300,000 to its underwriter), expiring August
2001, were also issued. In addition, in October and November 1996, the Company
completed its initial public offering ("IPO") and issued 1,610,000 shares of
Common Stock at $6.50 per share for net proceeds of approximately $8,470,000. In
connection with its IPO, the Company sold options to purchase 140,000 shares of
Common Stock to its underwriter for $.001 per option. These options are
exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price equal to 160% of the
IPO price ($10.40 per share). The underwriters' 300,000 warrants and 140,000
options are subject to anti-dilution adjustments. These warrants, vested on
March 7, 2000, and expire in December 2004.
On December 10, 1999, in connection with the acquisition of Tritium,
the Company issued 2,450,000 warrants (the "Consultant Warrants") to purchase
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share to a consultant as
compensation for services provided. These warrants vested on March 7, 2000 and
expire in December 2004.
In addition, in connection with the Tritium acquisition, the Company
contributed a warrant (the "AdSmart Warrant") to purchase 1,262,275 shares of
Common Stock to the capital of StartFree.com, Inc. ("StartFree") in order for
StartFree to deliver the AdSmart Warrant in connection with StartFree's
advertising agreement with AdSmart. As of March 7, 2000, AdSmart can exercise
warrants for 500,400 shares of Common Stock and an additional 584,399 shares of
Common Stock are exercisable on the earlier of (i) 61 days after the date that
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company owned by Tritium are
converted into Common Stock or (ii) two years after the date of the Adsmart
Warrant. An additional 177,476 shares of Common Stock are exercisable from time
to time upon the written request of the holder of the Adsmart Warrant if, as a
result of such exercise, such holder beneficially owns in excess of five percent
(5%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock.
On December 10, 1999, the Company's Chairman of the Board and its Chief
Executive Officer were granted warrants to purchase 549,800 and 550,000 shares
of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $.50 per share . These
warrants were issued for various services related to facilitating the Tritium
acquisition. These warrants vested on December 10, 1999 and are exercisable
until December 2004. These warrants are subject to anti-dilution
8
<PAGE>
adjustments. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded noncash
compensation expense under APB 25 of $1,275,000 in connection with the issuance
and vesting of these warrants.
The fair value of the Consultant and AdSmart Warrants is based on the
cost of services at the measurement date, March 7, 2000. The cost of these
services has been estimated based on their estimated fair value. An appraisal of
the value of the Company's Common Stock is currently being performed and is
expected to be finalized by approximately June 30, 2000. Upon receipt of the
appraisal, the Company may be required to materially adjust its financial
statements to reflect the final appraisal values. The warrants are subject to
anti-dilution adjustments.
Stock Options
Plans
Under the Company's 1996 and 1997 Stock Option Plans (the "Plans"),
options to purchase up to an aggregate of 976,000 shares of Common Stock may be
granted to officers, directors, employees or consultants. The Plans provide for
issuing both incentive stock options and non qualified stock options, which must
be granted at fair market value at the date of grant, as determined by the Plan
administrator.
Options granted under the Plans become exercisable as determined by the
Board of Directors and must be exercised within ten yeas. Options granted are
forfeited 90 days after an employee's separation from the Company.
Due to the shutdown of operations in March 1999, all of the stock
options granted to employees under the Plans that were outstanding at December
31, 1998, have been forfeited; however, the 41,036 stock options granted under
the Plans to four Board members at an exercise price of $1.00 per share remain
outstanding at March 31, 2000.
Other
In 1995, options were issued outside of the Plans to Directors and an
unaffiliated person to purchase 58,964 shares of Common Stock and 15,000 shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.79 and $1.00 per share, respectively.
On December 10, 1999, the Board of Directors granted options outside of
the Plans to Board members and employees for the purchase of 1,690,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share. Of these options, (i)
100,000 vested in May 2000, (ii) 700,000 will vest in December 2000, and (iii)
the balance vested upon issuance.
The Board of Directors also granted options outside of the Plans to the
Company's Chairman of the Board to purchase 352,900 shares of Common Stock, at
an exercise price of $.50 per share, in lieu of cash compensation owed for
services of approximately $176,000 as of December 31, 1998. These options were
issued and vested as of December 10, 1999.
9
<PAGE>
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company recorded noncash
compensation expense under APB 25 of $221,000 in connection with the vesting of
certain options.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" which requires presentation of basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per share and restatement of all prior year earnings (loss) per
share. Due to the Company's net loss, all convertible securities are
anti-dilutive; 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. The Company's financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 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.
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 substantial capital
requirements, development of effective internal processes and systems, risks
related to the Internet industry, the ability to attract and retain high quality
employees, changing overall economy, rapid change in technology, the number and
size of competitors in its markets, law and regulatory policy, the mix of
products and services offered in the Company's target markets and other risks
described herein and in the Company's 1999 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.
From the Company's inception through April 1999, the Company engaged
in research and development activities including the development of its initial
products (developing and marketing simulation software), recruiting personnel,
establishing marketing and manufacturing capabilities and raising capital. To
date, the Company 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.
10
<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
that the Company funded and brought to a broader market. The Company made a
significant investment in the development and commercialization of Think 2000.
However, change in market conditions resulted in a lack of interest in Y2K
products and thus culminated in the failure to successfully commercialize Think
2000.
In March 1999, in light of the changes in market conditions and the
Company's failure to commercialize Think 2000, the Company eliminated
substantially all of its operations and terminated all personnel other than
those required to perform certain executive and administrative functions. The
Company has retained the technology underlying the products that it
discontinued.
During the second half of 1999, the Company moved forward with its new
strategy to establish itself as a global information technology and Internet
holding and incubating company. The Company focused on locating and entering
into transactions with existing, public or privately-held companies which, in
its view, have growth potential and may be involved in the software or
technology industry (a "Target Business").
In March 2000, the Company announced the successful consummation of the
Tritium Acquisition.
The Company intends to continue to locate and enter into additional
transactions with Target Businesses. To that end, the Company is currently
engaged in negotiations with a few 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 remaining
a publicly-held corporation.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
Revenues. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased by
$39,000 or 67% to $19,000 from $58,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
Revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 consisted of advertising
revenues derived from StartFree.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased by
approximately $1,375,000 to $1,481,000 from $106,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 1999. Selling expenses consisted primarily of the estimated fair value of
warrants issued for advertising services and a non-cash stock expense of
approximately $934,000. General and administration expenses during the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 consisted of approximately $221,000 attributed to the
quarterly amortization of deferred stock compensation expense and approximately
$219,000 in legal and auditing costs.
11
<PAGE>
Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased by $149,000 to nil from the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. Research and development costs in prior years were attributable
to the Company's software development activity. The decrease in research and
development expense was due to the elimination of all of the Company's
operations in March 1999 until the commencement of its new strategy in the
second half of 1999. StartFree had no research and development costs during the
first quarter ended March 31, 2000.
Internet Connectivity. Internet connectivity expenses for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 increased by approximately $80,000 from nil for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. This expense is directly related to the telephone access
lines of StartFree's internet activity. These costs are unique and considered an
"ongoing" expense to the StartFree operation.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
decreased by $208,000 to nil. Interest expense of $208,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 was due to the recognition of the interest attributable to the
beneficial conversion features on certain bridge notes.
Other Expenses, Net. Other expenses for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 increased by $261,000 from nil for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Other
expenses, net during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were attributed to
goodwill amortization costs arising from the acquisition of Tritium. The Company
will amortize goodwill over a 36-month period on a straight-line basis.
Net Loss. Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased by
$1,398,000 to $1,803,000 from $405,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Since the Company's inception and
through March 31, 2000, the Company incurred cumulative losses aggregating
approximately $17,299,000 and has not experienced any quarter of profitable
operations. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for the
foreseeable future, principally as a result of expenses associated with
launching the Tritium business, StartFree.com, and the Company's continued
efforts towards locating Target Businesses. The primary uses of cash during the
first quarter ended March 31, 2000 have been to fund Tritium's and then
StartFree's operations and basic overhead expenses while the Company pursued
Target Businesses and developed potential outside financing sources.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $382,000, a negative working capital of approximately $294,000 and
a shareholders' deficiency of approximately $9,377,000. At March 31, 2000, the
Company had long-term liabilities of approximately $5,000 outstanding.
The Company's operating activities used cash of approximately $147,000
and $135,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
funds were used to fulfill general operating expenses.
12
<PAGE>
The Company's financing activities generated cash of approximately
$550,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $213,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999.
The Company anticipates that its expenses will increase as it attempts
to expand its business and locate and enter into transactions with Target
Businesses. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable
future. The Company's capital requirements will depend upon the numerous
contingencies associated with early stage companies, including the ability of
StartFree or any other Target Business to generate revenues. The Company's
continued existence is dependent on its ability to negotiate additional
acquisitions, to raise additional financing and to develop successful future
operations. The Company also expects to incur significant charges to income in
connection with its recent acquisition of Tritium and the warrants issued in
connection therewith.
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 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.
The costs that the Company has incurred related to Year 2000 compliance
have not been material to its business, results of operations or financial
condition. The Company has experienced no Year 2000 problems. In the event that
the Company does encounter such problems (either within its own systems or with
regard to a prolonged data communication, telecommunications or electrical
failure), the Company could be required to expend additional resources or lose
revenues.
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 addition, the Company's securities are penny stocks under the
Securities Enforcement Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990. Additional disclosure is
required in connection with trading in the Company's securities, including
determination of a purchaser's suitability and delivery of a disclosure schedule
explaining the nature and risk of the penny stock market. In addition, a broker
or dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price
information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and
information with respect to the

limited market in penny stocks. Such requirements could severely limit the
liquidity of the Company's securities. Although there is no assurance that the
Company's securities will become listed again on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the
Company intends to reapply when it is able to comply with Nasdaq's listing
requirements.

Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In November and December 1999, the Company entered into financing
agreements with outside investors. Such investors agreed to purchase an
aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $1,000,000, $500,000 of which
was advanced to Tritium pursuant to a bridge note and $100,000 of which was

and a total of 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock was purchased by investors for
$1,150,000. In addition, investors also purchased 20,000 additional shares of
Common Stock at $.50 per share in April 2000.
The proceeds of the sales of these securities were used for working
capital. The securities sold were issued only to accredited investors in
reliance on an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and were transactions
not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act.
On March 7, 2000, in connection with the Tritium Acquisition, the
Company issued (i) 1,148,798.5 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Tritium,

Stock at such time as the Company increases the authorized number of shares of
Common Stock; (ii) 200 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company's
Chairman, which shares are convertible into 200 shares of Common Stock at any

of $.01 per share.
The securities described above were issued in reliance on an exemption
