THE OFFERING
Equity Financing Facility
Of the shares of common stock being registered for resale by the selling
stockholders, 28,301,887 shares are being registered in connection with our
equity finance facility with Jashell Investment Limited or Jashell.
On June 19, 2000, as amended on July 26, 2000, we entered into a common
stock purchase agreement and related agreements with Jashell, a private equity
fund organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Subject to the
fulfillment of certain conditions, the agreements provide us with an equity
financing facility through which we may sell up to a total of $10,000,000 worth
of shares of our common stock, at our option, to Jashell periodically over a
24-month period. Our ability to request a draw down under the facility is
subject to the continued effectiveness of a resale registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to cover the shares to be issued.
The amount of common stock to be sold at each draw down will not be less than
$250,000 nor more than $1 million. We have agreed to sell our shares to Jashell
at a price equal to the then current market price of our common stock during the
draw down period, less a discount of 21% or 24% specifically determined based
upon a formula. The number of shares that we may sell to Jashell varies
depending on certain factors, including the market price of the common stock and
the then current ownership interest of Jashell.
In connection with each draw down, we will grant Jashell a warrant to
purchase up to 50% of the number of shares acquired in a draw down at an
exercise price equal to the purchase price of the common stock acquired pursuant
to the draw down. The warrant will expire 22 business days after its issuance.
We also issued a warrant to Jashell to purchase up to 100,000 of our common
stock at an exercise price of $0.7027 per share. Jashell will either resell
their shares in the open market, resell their shares to other investors in
negotiated transactions, or hold our stock in their portfolio. This prospectus
covers the resale by Jashell either in the open market or to other investors.
The resale of the shares acquired pursuant to the equity financing facility
are included in this prospectus.
Convertible Debentures
Of the shares being registered, 48,985,731 shares of common stock are being
registered for resale upon conversion of our outstanding convertible debentures,
and payment of interest thereon accrued through June 30, 2001.
From June 1998 to January 1999, we issued a series of 7% convertible
debentures to JNC Strategic Fund for an aggregate principal amount of $4,750,000
pursuant to private placements in which:
o the principal amount of $2,000,000 and accrued interest thereon may be
converted, at JNC Opportunity Fund's option, into shares of our common
stock at $0.35 per share. JNC Opportunity Fund is an affiliate of JNC
Strategic Fund;
o the principal amount of $1,500,000 and accrued interest thereon may be
converted, at JNC Strategic Fund's option, into shares of our common
<PAGE>5
stock at the lower of the conversion rate of $0.2575 per share or 75%
of the average closing bid price over a 5-day trading period prior to
conversion on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg
Financial L.P.;
o the principal amount of $500,000 and accrued interest thereon may be
converted, at JNC Strategic Fund's option, into shares of our common
stock at the lower of the conversion rate of $0.1775 per share or 75%
of the average closing bid price over a 5-day trading period prior to
conversion on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg
Financial L.P.; and
o the principal amount of $750,000 and accrued interest thereon may be
converted, at JNC Strategic Fund's option, into shares of our common
stock at the lower of the conversion rate of $0.1275 per share or 75%
of the average closing bid price over a 5-day trading period prior to
conversion on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg
Financial L.P.
In connection with the convertible debentures, we issued warrants to JNC
Strategic Fund and JNC Opportunity Fund to purchase up to 887,500 of our common
stock in the aggregate at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. JNC Strategic
Fund will either resell their shares in the open market, resell their shares to
other investors in negotiated transactions or hold our stock in their portfolio.
This prospectus covers the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the
convertible debenture and issuable upon the conversion of the warrants.
In addition to the warrants issued to JNC Strategic Fund and JNC
Opportunity Fund, we have warrants outstanding to purchase up to 540,000 shares
of our common stock at exercise prices of $0.34 and $2.43 per share to Cardinal
Capital and 250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per
share to Elizabeth Hagopian in connection with the issuance of the convertible
debentures. The resale of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of
the warrants is included in this prospectus.
Additional Shares We Are Registering
Of the shares being registered, 3,650,000 shares of common stock are being
registered for resale upon the exercise of warrants issued to JNC Opportunity
Fund in connection with a series of secured notes issued between May 1999 and
July 2000. These warrants are exercisable into shares of our common stock at an
exercise price ranging from $0.25 to $ 1.00 per share. In addition to the
warrants issued to JNC Opportunity Fund, we are registering 572,000 shares of
our common stock underlying outstanding warrants at an exercise price ranging
from $0.16 to $0.84 per share to Cardinal Capital, and 95,000 shares of our
common stock underlying outstanding warrants at an exercise price ranging from
$0.16 to $.84 per share to Elizabeth Hagopian in connection with the issuance of
the secured notes. The resale of shares of our common stock issuable upon
conversion of the warrants is included in this prospectus.
We are also registering 75,000 shares of our common stock for resale upon
exercise of the warrants issued to our attorneys. The exercise price for these
warrants is $0.53 per share. The resale of the common stock issuable upon
conversion of the warrants is included in this prospectus.
We are also registering 50,000 shares of our common stock for resale upon
the exercise of an option issued to Elizabeth Hagopian. The exercise price of
the option is $1.75 per share. The resale of the common stock issuable upon the
exercise of the option is included in this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the shares of our common stock offered for resale by the
selling stockholders is very risky. You should carefully consider the risks
described below in addition to other information in this prospectus. Our
business, operating results, and financial condition could be seriously harmed
due to any of the following risks. The trading price of the shares of our common
stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of
your investment.
We have a limited operating history.
Since inception, our primary activities have been the research and
development of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 products for digital video compression and
processing technology. Although during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, and
year ended December 31, 1999, revenues from product sales were approximately
$297,00 and $507,000, respectively, revenues prior to these periods were
insignificant. Our success is dependent upon our ability to substantially
increase sales of our current products, and to develop, market and sell new
products.
Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in
ramping up sales and in developing new products. Other factors that may affect
the development of our products and their sales includes:
o new or competing products developed by our competitors;
o the need to develop customer support capabilities and market
expertise;
o delays in product development, manufacturing difficulties, market
acceptance, product quality problems that require sales returns or
allowances; and
o the success or failure of sales and marketing activities.
Failure to increase the sales of our current products and to develop,
market and sell new products may have a materially adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
We have incurred significant losses and expect to continue to do so in the
near future.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses. For the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, and years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, we have
incurred net losses of approximately $2,357,000, $7,140,000 and $16,466,000,
respectively. At March 31, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$45,224,000 since inception. We expect to continue to incur losses until we
develop and market our products and achieve revenues that exceed our expenses.
We do not anticipate operating profits before the end of 2000, and we cannot
assure you that we will ever achieve profitability.
We have received a qualified opinion from our independent accountant
regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
The report by our independent accountants contains an explanatory paragraph
regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Among the factors cited by
<PAGE>8
the accountants as raising substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a
going concern include the fact that we have no established source of operating
income and that we have recurring losses from operations.
We need additional capital to finance our operations and to develop new
products.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash
flow from operations, progress in developing new products, competing
technological and market developments, and our ability to successfully market
our products. Because we currently do not have sufficient revenues to support
our activities, we will be required to raise additional capital through equity
or debt offerings to fund our operations. Traditionally, we relied on the sale
of debt to meet our capital requirements. Debt financing will result in interest
expense, and if convertible into equity, could also dilute then-existing
stockholders. Any equity financing could result in dilution to our then-existing
stockholders. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be required to
reduce or suspend our operations.
There may be a change of control and dilution upon conversion of the
convertible debentures and exercise of warrants.
JNC Opportunity Fund and its affiliate JNC Strategic Fund may convert their
convertible debentures into shares of our common stock at conversion prices
equal to the lower of a fixed price and a discount from the current market price
of the common stock as of the date of conversion. In addition, at June 30, 2000,
JNC Opportunity Fund and JNC Strategic Fund also held warrants to purchase
4,325,000 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.30 to
$1.00 per share. If JNC Opportunity Fund and JNC Strategic Fund convert their
convertible debentures, and exercise their warrants, they could obtain control
over us and significantly dilute the value of other stockholders. As of June 30,
2000, if the holders of the convertible debentures had converted their
debentures and exercised their warrants, they would have owned approximately 43%
of our outstanding common stock. However, their ownership interest may be
significantly more at such time as they actually convert since the conversion
and sale of the common stock could have an adverse effect on the price of our
common stock. The existence of these convertible debentures and warrants could
depress the market price of our stock and effect the cost and terms of our
future stock placements.
Future sales of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus may depress
our stock price.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public
market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock. We had
36,534,593 common shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2000, which does
not include the shares covered by this prospectus. Through this offering, the
selling stockholders may be reselling up to 85,205,231 shares of our common
stock. In addition, as of June 30, we had options outstanding to purchase
4,739,113 shares of our common stock. As a result of this offering and future
common stock issuance pursuant to options, a substantial number of our shares of
common stock are becoming available for resale which could have an adverse
effect on the price of our common stock.
We are highly leveraged and all of our assets are secured.
For at least the past two years, we have financed our operations primarily
through the issuance of convertible debentures and secured promissory notes. As
of March 31, 2000, the amount outstanding in convertible debentures was
$4,750,000 and the amount outstanding in secured promissory notes was
$5,175,000. These convertible debentures and secured promissory notes have been
<PAGE>9
secured primarily by all of our assets. If we default on any of these
convertible debentures, or if the holders of the secured promissory notes
immediately demand repayment, it would have a material adverse effect on our
business.
We do not have the cash to make potential payment obligations.
As of March 31, 2000, we have outstanding secured promissory notes in the
aggregate amount of $5,175,000 with JNC Opportunity Fund. In addition, we have
outstanding a series of five year convertible debentures in the aggregate amount
outstanding of $4,750,000 with JNC Strategic Fund and JNC Opportunity Fund. We
are in technical default for failure to meet certain covenants under the
convertible debentures and the holders of the convertible debentures may demand
immediate repayment. Further, under the terms of the convertible debentures, we
owe the holders thereof liquidated damages of $1,309,975 for failure to register
with the Securities and Exchange Commission within a specified time shares
underlying the convertible debentures. Although neither JNC Strategic Fund or
JNC Opportunity Fund have given notice for immediate repayment, if either JNC
Strategic Fund or JNC Opportunity Fund demand repayment of these promissory
notes, or convertible debentures, or liquidated damages we do not have
sufficient cash to repay these obligations. Failure to pay on these promissory
notes or convertible debentures will have a significant adverse effect on our
business.
The competition is intense in the digital audio and video industry.
The digital video and audio industry contains numerous small and large
competing companies. Many of our actual or potential competitors have:
o greater name recognition;
o a larger installed base of networking products and stronger
relationships with their customers;
o more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution
capabilities; and
o greater financial, technological and personnel resources.
Additionally, we compete in an industry segment which is undergoing a
period of consolidation in which companies resulting from the consolidation
could increase their market shares, customer bases, sales forces, product
offerings and technology, and marketing expertise. In addition, we cannot assure
you that our competitors will not develop products equal to or better than those
developed by us or that such products will not receive greater market
acceptance.
We are dependent on third party manufacturers.
We do not maintain our own manufacturing or production facilities, aside
from final assembly and testing, and we do not intend to do so in the
foreseeable future. We anticipate that major sub-assemblies of our products will
be manufactured and our components will be supplied by independent companies.
Many of these independent companies may also manufacture and supply products for
our existing and potential competitors. Because we do not have any licensing or
other supply agreements with our manufacturers and suppliers, they could
<PAGE>10
terminate their relationships with us at any time. In the event we are required
to replace our manufacturers and suppliers, we could experience delays in
supplying products to our customers.
The market acceptance of our products is uncertain.
We have sold only limited quantities of our products. Our success will
depend upon continued and increased acceptance of our products by the technology
industry, including independent third party companies and the general public.
Achieving such acceptance will require significant marketing investment. We can
not assure you that our existing and proposed products will be accepted by the
technology industry at sufficient levels to support our operations.
Our current and proposed products are dependent on the technology industry
which has a history of technological obsolescence.
The digital audio and video industry is characterized by extensive research
and development and rapid technological changes, resulting in very short product
life cycles. Further, the audio and video industry is characterized by intense
competition among various technologies and their respective proponents.
Development of new or improved products, processes or technologies may render
the our products obsolete or less competitive, which could adversely affect our
business and results of operations. We will be required to devote substantial
efforts and financial resources to enhance our existing products and to develop
new products.
We are dependent on MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 acceptance and continuation as
standards.
We have focused much of our resources on products that utilizes MPEG-1 and
MPEG-2 technology and the success of those standards will dramatically impact
our success. We cannot assure you that the MPEG-2 standard will remain the
standard in the industry. Furthermore, should the standard be modified or
replaced, no assurances can be given that our products can be successfully
transferred to the alternative standard.
We rely on integrators, distributors, and original equipment manufacturers.
Our success will depend to a significant extent upon our ability to develop
a distribution system with integrators, resellers, and original equipment
manufacturers, or OEM's, to distribute and sell our products in the marketplace.
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining and retaining the
sales channel that is required to market and sell our products successfully.
We rely on intellectual property.
We have been issued one patent, but this patent by itself does not provide
significant protection for the technology in our current products, or for the
products in advanced stages of development. We are documenting our intellectual
properties so that we can file for additional patents, but currently we have no
active patent applications. We also hold trademarks on our name and the names of
certain products.
No assurances can be given that another company will not attempt to
infringe upon any of our current or future licenses, patents, patent
applications, trademarks, copyrights, or our products and technology or that we
may not inadvertently infringe upon any current or future licenses, patents,
<PAGE>11
patent applications, trademarks, or copyrights of another company or its
products and technology. Such infringement could result in protracted and costly
litigation and sales losses. Further, no assurances can be given that others
will not independently develop products or technology that are equivalent or
superior to ours or that such products will not utilize the same or similar
technology developed by us, whether protected or unprotected by a license or
patent.
There may be possible shareholder dilution from employee, director, and
other option holders.
As of June 30, 2000, there were options outstanding to acquire an aggregate
of 4,739,113 shares of our common stock. These options, which are held by
current and former employees, directors, and consultants, are exercisable at
prices ranging from $0.16 to $2.59 per share. If these options are exercised,
they could dilute the value of other stockholders stock, and increase the
concentration of stock ownership in the hands of directors and officers. The
presence of these options could depress the market price of our stock and affect
the cost and terms of our future stock placements.
Our stock prices may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations
in response to quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of
technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors, changes in
financial estimates by securities analysts, the operating and stock price
performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us, and
other events or factors. Moreover, some of our future quarter operating results
may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such
event, the market price of our common stock could be materially and adversely
affected. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for
high-tech related companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility
that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies.
These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading
price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.
We may be subject to penny stock regulations.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which
generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market
price, as defined, less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than
$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities may be covered by
the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and
accredited investors such as, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000
or an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income
exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse. For transactions
covered by this rule, the broker-dealers must make a special suitability
determination for the purchase and receive the purchaser's written agreement of
the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability
of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also affect the ability of
purchasers to sell their shares in the secondary market.
The loss of one of our key personnel may adversely affect our operations.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our
executive officers and key personnel and on our ability to retain and motivate
such personnel. Competition between high technology companies for qualified
personnel is very high, and opportunities for key employees to move to other
<PAGE>12
companies, including direct competitors, are continually present. The loss of
any of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and operating results. Our success will also depend upon
our ability to hire and retain additional qualified personnel, particularly
those technical employees with MPEG qualifications for whom demand is very high.
An inability to locate and hire additional qualified employees could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating
results. We can not assure you that we will be able to hire or retain such
qualified personnel.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of common stock
by the selling stockholders. We will receive proceeds from any sales of shares
pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement with Jashell and upon any
exercise of warrants issued to Jashell, JNC Strategic Fund, JNC Opportunity
Fund, and the other selling shareholders. We intend to use the proceeds from our
sales to Jashell and the exercise of warrants primarily for the development of
our MPEG-2 products, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends since our inception. We
currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and
expansion of the business. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. The declaration of dividends in the future will be at the
discretion of the board and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements,
and financial position.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
General
We were founded in 1993, and began significant operations in 1996
concentrating our efforts on the development of a number of chip, board, and
system level MPEG-2 related products in 1996. In 1997, we merged with Sierra
Vista, a Nevada corporation, a development stage company in the field of feature
length film production and distribution. As a result of the merger with Sierra
Vista, we gained access to approximately $3 million of working capital and a
credit facility of up to $5 million.
During 1998, we underwent a series of changes resulting in a change of
management and a change in business direction, and we decided to direct our
focus and our resources to those products that we believed the most promising
and closest to market. In pursuit of that effort, we discontinued our single
chip MPEG-2 encoder development efforts, closed Sierra Vista, which has
subsequently been dissolved, laid off approximately half of our then employees,
took substantial steps to reduce our expenses, and directed our energy on the
completion of those board and system level MPEG-2 products closest to market. As
a result of our efforts, we shipped our first product to our customers before
the end of 1998. In 1999, we continued to emerge from the development stage into
full production with a significant increase in shipments in the last quarter of
the year.
During calendar year 2000, we will be concentrating our product development
on increasing the use of our existing products and expanding their application
into new markets. We expect that our revenues in 2000 will be higher than in
1999, but we will not achieve profitability from operations before the end of
2000. We anticipate modest staffing increases in all departments to accommodate
this growth. We will be required to raise additional capital in 2000 to fund our
losses and to fund anticipated increases in accounts receivable and inventory.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
1999
Revenues
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, were approximately $297,000
as compared to approximately $36,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999,
representing a 725% increase. The revenue in 2000 was from the sale of
approximately 26 TransPEG systems and in 1999 was from the sale of 2 TransPEG
Systems.
<PAGE>14
Costs of Goods Sold
Costs of goods sold was approximately $237,000 in the quarter ended March
31, 2000, as compared to approximately $167,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1999. Costs of goods sold for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, includes an
unfavorable inventory cost adjustment of approximately $44,000 which is not
expected to be an ongoing adjustment. The costs of goods sold as a proportion of
sales as experienced in the periods shown in 2000 and 1999 do not necessarily
predict the costs of goods sold that we might experience at such time, if any,
that production level products begin to ship in normal production volumes.
Research and Development
Research and development expense was approximately $471,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, as compared to approximately $369,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. The increase in research and development expense
represents our ongoing program to develop our products to meet market
opportunities. In addition, consistent with year end 1999, certain costs
associated with start-up manufacturing and product development are being treated
as research and development expense.
Selling, General And Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,025,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as compared to approximately $607,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by approximately $418,000 or 69% reflecting our ongoing plan to build
a world-class sales and marketing organization. General and administrative
expenses increased due to $300,000 of compensation expense recognized upon
issuance of stock options and warrants.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense net of interest income increased to approximately $937,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, from approximately $659,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. The increase in the current period is due to
recording the cost of warrants issued in connection with demand notes issued for
borrowing purposes.
Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to December 31, 1998
Revenues
Revenues increased to approximately $507,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999, from approximately $108,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Approximately 66% of the revenue in 1999 was recognized in the last quarter of
the year. This reflects the first volume shipments of our products to customers
for installation in large-scale projects. The majority of the revenue reported
in 1998 was for shipments of pre-production and sample products.
Costs of Goods Sold
Costs of goods sold was approximately $492,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999, as compared to approximately $339,000 for the year ended December 31,
<PAGE>15
1998. The increase from 1999 to 1998 is primarily a result of increased
shipments but also reflects cost increases attributable to the transition from a
development stage to manufacturing stage enterprise. Costs of goods sold as a
percentage of sales as seen in both 1999 and 1998 is not necessarily
representative of the level that we might experience at such time, as any, that
products begin to ship in volume production levels.
Research and Development
Research and development expense declined to approximately $1,823,000 in
the year ended December 31, 1999, from approximately $3,400,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998. This reduction results primarily from the actions taken
in June of 1998 to reduce our spending in all areas including research and
development. Partially offsetting this reduction was an increase in research and
development spending recognized as some costs previously allocated to other
departments were reclassified into research and development in the last quarter
of 1999.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately
$2,762,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, from approximately $5,902,000
during the same period in 1998. The decrease from 1998 to 1999 results primarily
from the substantial cuts in spending made in June 1998.
Impairment Loss on Property and Equipment
In June 1998, we abandoned our MPEG-2 chip development efforts, which
reduced the value of the development equipment and software that had been
purchased for this work. We recognized an expense of approximately $937,000 at
that time to write these assets down to their realizable value. No corresponding
expense occurred in 1999.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense, net of interest income decreased to approximately
$2,832,000 during the year ended December 31, 1999, from approximately
$4,751,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The largest single component of
interest expense in both years relates to interest imputed from conversion
features of the debt, and from warrants issued in connection with the debt
placement recognized at the time new debt was issued. In 1998, most new debt was
in the form of debentures that could convert into stock at a price below market,
which generated large amounts of imputed interest. Most new debt in 1999 was in
the form of demand notes, which were not convertible and did not cause the
recognition of imputed interest. The decline in imputed interest resulting from
new debt issuance, and from the issuance of associated warrants from 1998 to
1999, was approximately $2,357,000. This decline was partially offset by an
increase in stated interest of approximately $559,000 resulting from an increase
in overall debt levels from 1998 to 1999.
Interest income was not material in either 1999 or 1998.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was approximately $2,000 for the two years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998. This represents the minimum franchise tax payable to
the State of California by us and our non-operating Florida subsidiary.
<PAGE>16
Loss from Discontinued Operations
On June 15, 1998, our board of directors decided to discontinue the
operations of Sierra Vista, our wholly-owned subsidiary and entertainment
segment of the business. At that date, we wrote down Sierra Vista's assets to
disposal value and recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of
approximately $1,155,000. Sierra Vista's operations lost approximately $400,000
in 1998.
Gain on Extinguishment of Liabilities
In 1999 and 1998, we settled a number of liabilities at discounts to face
amount. The total of these discounts declined to approximately $235,000 in 1999
from approximately $573,000 in 1998. This decline reflects the reduction in
creditor claims for past due liabilities pressed against us in 1999 relative to
1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, we had negative working capital
of approximately $13,286,000 and $17,309,000, respectively. During the first
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and in 1999, our revenues were not sufficient to
support our operations, and revenues will not be large enough to support
operations until such time, if any, that our current products and future
products, if any, attain substantial market acceptance. Historically, we funded
our operations through sale of equity and debt, and we expect to continue to
finance our operations in this manner for the immediate future. However, in the
event that we are unable to obtain adequate financing, there will be a material
adverse effect on our ability to meet our business objectives.
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations totaled
approximately $4,905,000 during fiscal 1999 and $7,182,000 during fiscal 1998.
Discontinued operations used additional cash of approximately $319,000 in 1998.
This cash usage resulted primarily from the net losses of approximately
$7,140,000 in 1999 and $16,466,000 in 1998. The net loss in 1999 was offset
principally by non-cash interest expense imputed on the issuance of debt in 1999
and by interest and penalties accrued on the convertible debentures and demand
notes outstanding during the year. The net loss during 1998 was offset
principally by non-cash interest expense imputed on the convertible debentures
issued in 1997 and 1998, increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
write down of the discontinued assets of Sierra Vista, and the write down of
assets impaired when we closed our chip development efforts.
Net cash flows from financing activities rose to approximately $5,158,000
in fiscal 1999 from approximately $4,603,000 in 1998. During 1999 we received
$4,200,000 from the sale of demand notes, and an additional $750,000 from the
sale of convertible debentures. During 1998 we received $4,000,000 from the sale
of convertible debentures. Also in 1998 we received approximately $778,000 from
four other lenders of which approximately $174,000 was repaid, and approximately
$468,000 of such debt converted into our common stock. Total debt converted into
common stock in 1998 was $4,936,876.
In 1999 we purchased approximately $9,400 of property and equipment as
compared to approximately $1,217,000 in 1998.
<PAGE>17
Between December 1997 and January 1999, we issued a total of $9,750,000
face value of convertible debentures to two investors who are related to each
other. The convertible debentures bear interest at 7% and are due five years
after issuance.
At the end of 1999, we owed $9,440,000 on convertible debentures, which is
net of $310,000 converted into our common stock during 1998 and 1999, $4,200,000
on secured promissory notes, and another $100,000 on short term notes to related
parties. Accrued liabilities included approximately $2,482,000 in accrued
interest and penalties related to these debts.
On December 22, 1997, we issued $5 million in the aggregate of convertible
debentures receiving approximately $4,609,000 in net proceeds. The convertible
debentures bear interest at 7% and are due December 22, 2002. The debentures are
convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the
lesser of (i) $3.47 and (ii) 80% of the average closing market price for the
five trading days prior to conversion. In connection with the private placement,
we issued five-year warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock at
$3.00 per share and for 250,000 at $4.00 per share. These warrants were replaced
by warrants with similar terms except for an exercise price of $0.50 in August
1998. Through February 29, 2000, the holders of these convertible debentures
converted a total of $2,900,000 face value, plus approximately $418,000 of
accumulated interest, into 8,422,644 shares of common stock. In March 2000, the
remaining $2,100,000 face value of the December 22, 1997, convertible debenture
plus approximately $330,000 of accrued interest was converted into 1,988,947
shares of common stock.
On June 29, 1998, we issued $2 million in the aggregate of convertible
debentures that bear interest at 7% and are due June 29, 2003. The debentures
are convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $.35 per share.
In connection with the issuance of these convertible debentures, we issued the
debenture holder five-year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our common
stock at $.50 per share.
On August 28, 1998, we issued additional convertible debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $500,000, with the right to issue up to an
additional $1 million more convertible debentures under the same terms. In
October and November of 1998, a total of $1 million more convertible debentures
were issued. The convertible debentures accrue interest at the rate of 7% per
annum and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price
equal to the lesser of (i) 125% of the five-day average share price at the time
of issuance and (ii) 80% of the five day average share price at the time of
conversion for conversions prior to 120 days after issuance, 77.5% for
conversions 120-150 days after issuance, and 75% thereafter. The convertible
debentures have a term of five years, expiring August 28, 2003, and are secured
by all of our assets. As part of the issuance of the convertible debentures, we
issued to the debenture holders five-year warrants to purchase up to 75,000
shares of our common stock at $.50 per share. Also in this transaction, we
canceled previously issued warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our
common stock at $3.00 per share and up to 250,000 shares at $4.00, replacing the
canceled warrants with a like number of five-year warrants to purchase our
common stock at a price of $.50 per share.
On December 15, 1998, we issued an additional $500,000 in convertible
debentures for working capital under the same terms as those issued in August of
1998. In conjunction with the sale of these convertible debentures, we issued to
the debenture holders five-year warrants to purchase up to 125,000 shares of our
common stock at $.50 per share.
<PAGE>18
On January 15, 1999, we issued an additional $750,000 in convertible
debentures for working capital under the same terms as those issued in August
and December of 1998. In conjunction with the sale of these convertible
debentures, we issued to the debenture holders five-year warrants to purchase up
to 187,500 shares of our common stock at $.50 per share.
In 1999, we borrowed a total of $4,200,000 from JNC Strategic Fund or JNC
Opportunity Fund who had purchased the convertible debentures evidenced in the
form of ten separate notes. An additional $975,000 was borrowed on another three
notes in the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The notes bear interest at 13% and
are due on demand. In conjunction with these thirteen notes, we issued the
holder of the notes five-year warrants to purchase up to 2,787,500 shares of our
common stock at prices ranging from $0.25 to $1.00 per share.
In connection with the sales of the convertible debentures and demand notes
in 1997 through 1999, we issued five-year warrants to purchase up to an
aggregate total of 1,457,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from
$0.16 per share to $2.43 per share to two finders.
BUSINESS
Overview
We develop, market and provide equipment and services that utilize the
Motion Picture Expert Group's first and second generation standards for video
and audio compression known respectively as MPEG-1 and as MPEG-2. In the past,
video images were transmitted and stored almost exclusively in analog formats.
Digital video technology, including our technology, has been developed more
recently and provides several benefits over analog. For example, unlike analog
video, digital video can be compressed, providing significant storage and
transmission efficiencies, and can be duplicated and transmitted without
significant loss of quality. Digital video also allows editing, indexing,
distribution, and storage features not available in analog formats. With the
recent growth of high bandwidth network capacity, broadcast-quality real-time
video over networks using compressed digital video is rapidly becoming available
and cost effective.
The Moving Picture Experts Group or MPEG was formed in 1988 to develop a
worldwide industry standard for digital compression of video. In 1991, the MPEG
committee adopted the first technical standard of digital video compression for
full video motion for personal computers, which is known as MPEG-1. The MPEG
committee determined that a higher quality digital video standard was needed for
broadcast quality video and eventually adopted the second-generation standard of
MPEG for video and audio compression known as MPEG-2. The MPEG-2 video
compression standard defines the standards applicable to broadcast quality video
for compression, storage and transmission, and is the standard worldwide for
video compression at the professional level. It is the chosen standard for the
FCC-mandated migration to digital video broadcast, for all DVD applications, for
future HDTV and will appear on computing and networking and communication
platforms of all types.
We have been focusing on the development of products utilizing the MPEG-2
standard since 1996. By utilizing our expertise in MPEG-2 technology, we
developed a suite of products to meet the emerging demand for audio and video
compression products. In year 2000, we developed MPEG-1 versions of some of our
MPEG-2 TransPeg products to sell into markets where lower costs, limited
<PAGE>19
feature-set systems, are attractive. By designing our products to be modular and
scalable, we provide customers the flexibility of setting up a system to meet
their needs.
Corporate History
We were originally incorporated in Florida in March of 1993 as a research
and development company and were essentially dormant until 1996. In March of
1996, we began to emphasize the development of broadcast quality encoded video
utilizing the MPEG-2 standard for video and audio compression and began
development of a video compression chip and related MPEG-2 technology.
In July 1996, we merged with Jettson Realty Development Corporation, a
Nevada corporation. The merger took the form of a share for share exchange, in
which all of our outstanding shares were exchanged for approximately 52% of
Jettson Realty Development. The merger was accounted for under the reverse
take-over method of accounting. Thereafter, the name of Jettson was changed to
"InnovaCom, Inc."
In May 1997, we acquired Sierra Vista Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada
corporation in a share for share exchange by issuing shares of our common stock
to Sierra Vista shareholders. Sierra Vista was a motion picture production
company and as a result of the acquisition, we gained access to approximately $3
million of working capital and a credit facility of up to $5 million.
After the Jettson Realty Development merger and Sierra Vista Entertainment
acquisition, we continued to focus on developing digital video compression and
processing technology to provide broadcast quality video encoding and processing
products and systems utilizing the MPEG-2 standard. At that time, our emphasis
was the development of single chips, multiple chips, circuit boards, software,
and complete digital video compression and processing systems.
During 1998, we underwent a cash crisis which resulted in a series of
changes including a change of management and a change in business direction. We
decided to direct our focus and our resources to those products that we believed
the most promising and closest to market. In pursuit of that effort, we
discontinued our single chip MPEG-2 encoder development efforts, closed Sierra
Vista, which has subsequently been dissolved, laid off approximately half of our
then employees, took substantial steps to reduce our expenses, and directed our
energy on the completion of those board and system level MPEG-2 products closest
to market. As a result of our efforts, we shipped our first product to our
customers before the end of 1998. In 1999, we continued to emerge from the
development stage into full production with a significant increase in shipments
in the last quarter of the year.
Our Strategy
Our objective is to be a leading provider of high quality, cost-effective,
audio and video compression applications to industry professionals, enterprise
customers and government agencies. To achieve our business objective, we have
identified the following key components to our business strategy:
Providing products which are modular, scalable and affordable. Because
the digital audio and video compression market is emerging, we believe we
have to remain flexible to changes. By providing a product that is modular,
scalable and affordable, we believe that we can provide a product that
<PAGE>20
that meets the demands and specific needs of our customers in a variety of
markets and industries.
Focusing on marketing to industry professionals, enterprise customers
and government agencies. Our products are designed to provide high quality
audio and video output which is currently used by industry professionals,
enterprise customers and government. We intend to focus our marketing
efforts on these customers.
Expanding on our technological expertise. We believe that in order to
succeed in this market, we need to be able to respond to and rapidly
incorporate new technologies. We intend to continue to invest in the
development of new technologies and products to address evolving customer
requirements.
Expanding our sales of support and service. We believe there is
significant opportunity to expand our sales of extended warrant and service
contracts.
Target Markets
Video Transmission
With the increase in bandwidth in the internet, in many intranets, and in a
variety of available standard point-to-point carriers, applications for
transmission of broadcast quality digital video are emerging rapidly. Our
targeted applications include:
o movement of video within multi-location video production houses or
between multiple contributors to the creation of video content (video
collaboration);
o real time medical diagnosis or consultation between multiple locations
for medical purposes or for collaborative efforts in the general
business environment;
o deposition or arraignment by video to avoid prisoner transportation
and to reduce costs;
o education or training from one central location dispersed to satellite
classrooms;
o surveillance or security in applications where video quality is
essential; and
o a wide range of other situations.
In general, as available carrier bandwidth increases, users are finding
ways to utilize broadcast quality digital video to improve their operations, and
bandwidth and infrastructure providers are discovering that broadcast quality
digital video is not only content to fill their pipelines, but can serve as new
sources of revenue. In addition, it helps infrastructure providers justify the
costs associated with some broadband networks.
Video Content Creation
As the demand for broadcast quality digital video grows, so will the demand
for tools to produce it. Our first offering into this market is the DVDImpact,
an integrated suite of tools intended for a professional level customer who
<PAGE>21
plans to edit digital video content into a completed piece ready for end-user
consumption. The target customer includes not only the established trade shop
that is converting from analog based video technology to digital technology, but
also corporate, government, and institutional users who create their own content
for internal uses.
We believe that creation of digital video content by corporate, government,
and institutional users for internal consumption could increase sharply with the
wide acceptance of DVD format and the rapid decline in the costs associated with
the production of close-to-professional-quality digital video content that is
seen currently.
The conversion of the video market from analog to digital is expected to
create demand for a wide range of products to replace software and hardware
tools that were built to service analog-based video. We are developing or
considering a number of potential products that are intended to address this
demand, with a user look and feel that mimics that of the analog tools being
replaced.
Our Products and Technology
We have developed core technologies and methodologies and integrate
complimentary third party products for digital video compression, transmission,
and processing technology into our applications. We adhere to MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
non-proprietary "open standards" to enhance flexibility and market appeal for
our products. We have several products that are either currently released for
shipping, or that are in advanced stages of development and are scheduled for
release in late 2000. In addition we have multiple development projects in
process or under consideration to enhance the features of products already
released or to develop products in complimentary or closely related
applications. We currently sell and support the following products:
TransPEG(R)
Until recently, video transmission over networks was restricted to low
frame counts, small viewable windows, and low pixel counts because of data rate
limitations within the carriers. Alternatively, carriers with the bandwidth to
achieve higher quality video were too expensive for widespread usage. We believe
that the rapidly increasing broadband now available and becoming available in
affordable networks, including both intranet and internet, has created a demand
and opportunity for substantial growth in video transmission products to supply
real-time, broadcast-quality video.
We are currently marketing three such transmission products in our TransPEG
line of products. These are interchangeable digital multi-channel transmissions
systems that compress video, transmit in standard carrier formats, and
decompress at the viewer's location. The TransPEG line of products are available
for a variety of standard carriers such as ATM, T1/E1 and 10/100 BaseT, support
unicast, multicast and broadcast transmission, and feature web based controls.
The TransPEG line of products are as follows:
o TransPEG Transmission Systems. TranPEG Transmission Systems are a
cost-effective solution for high quality video transmission and have been
used successfully in multiple applications, including a 24x7 emergency
response system, TV broadcasts using terrestrial carrier lines, desktop
video-conferencing and training at a major pharmaceutical firm, airborne
video surveillance, and telemedicine between a major hospital and its
outlying clinics.
<PAGE>22
o TransPEG TDLT. The TransPEG TDLT is designed to deliver the utmost in
reliability, flexibility and video quality for distance learning
application. We designed the system to address the needs of education,
enterprise and government clients for remote education, video conferencing
and video surveillance application.
o TransPEG TNET. The TransPEG TNET is a compact, cost-effective, and proven
enabler of quality digital video over existing broadband networks in
business critical environments. We designed the TransPEG TNET for high
demand video transport such as uni-directional applications such as
point-to-point video transport or network node in space-constrained
environments.
Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, and year ended December 1999
and 1998, from the TransPEG System were approximately $297,000, $945,000, and
$41,000, respectively.
DVDImpact(TM)
DVDImpact is a DVD premastering suite which integrates MPEG-2 video
compression technology developed by us with a number of software tools developed
by third parties. DVDImpact targets corporate and professional users for the
design of custom DVD's. We intended the DVDImpact to be a price and performance
leader with most of the functionality of competing high-end systems, but at a
much lower price.
Sales for the year ended December 31, 1999, for the DVDImpact System, were
approximately $43,000. There were no sales of the DVDImpact System in 1998 or in
the quarter ended March 3, 2000.
Sales and Marketing
We are marketing our system-based TransPEG and DVDImpact line of products
to the professional video industry through:
o direct sales calls o professional video dealerships
o system integrators o attendance at national and
o strategic partnerships with larger, international trade shows
more established networking companies
Because our products have been in the development stage until recently, we
have not achieved substantial revenue from sales.
Competition
We face competition from numerous companies, some of which are more
established, have greater market recognition, and have greater financial,
production, and marketing resources than we do. Our products compete on the
basis of certain factors, including:
o first to market; o product capabilities;
o product performance; o price;
o support of industry standard; o ease of use;
o customer support; o user productivity;
<PAGE>23
o system reliability; o system stability.
The market for our products is competitive, subject to rapid change and
significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities
of industry participants. We face direct and indirect competition from a broad
range of competitors who offer a variety of products and solutions to our
current and potential customers. Many of our competitors have longer operating
histories, a larger installed base of customers and greater market experience,
and greater financial, technical, name recognition and other resources than we
do. Competition to supply the markets identified by us can be expected to grow
as the markets mature.
Our main competitors for the video transmission market include FVC.COM,
Inc., Optibase, Optivision, and Lucent Technologies, Inc. Our main competitors
for the video content creation market include Spruce Technologies, Inc., Sonic
Solutions, and Minerva Systems, Inc. Numerous other companies offer products
that do or will compete with our products, and the number of competing solutions
can be expected to grow. This growth will come both from new companies founded
to participate in the markets, and from established companies in related markets
widening their product offerings into the markets identified by us.
Research and Development
Since our inception, we have made substantial investments in research and
development. We are continually designing and developing new generations of
products to provide improved performance and enhance functions.
For the past two years, the majority of our efforts have been devoted
toward the research and development of digital video compression, transmission,
and processing. Product development is performed mostly at our headquarters in
California by engineering and technical employees, assisted in certain
specialized areas by consultants. Our total expenditures for research and
development were approximately $1,823,000 and $3,400,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
We are currently developing an MPEG-2 encoder board which we call the
DV-2110. The DV- 2100 is designed to act as the system interface, I/O manager,
and host for third party MPEG-2 encoder chips. We intends to embed the DV-2110
in subsequent versions of our TransPEG and DVDImpact lines of product, and to
sell the board as a stand-alone component, or packaged with certain our
developed software as an OEM product to customers in markets that we does not
currently service with our own system level products. The board is intended to
be compatible with personal computers running Windows 95 and NT operating
systems, and to operate with a variety of video compression hardware. The
modular nature and flexible architecture of our products are designed to allow
it to function in a wide range of digital audio and video applications in a
variety of different hardware and software environments.
Employees
As of June 30, 1998, we had approximately 24 full-time employees. None of
our employees is represented by any collective bargaining agreements and we have
never experience a work stoppage. We consider our relationship with our
employees to be good and we have not experienced any interruptions of operations
due to labor disagreement.
<PAGE>24
Facilities
We are currently renting approximately 18,000 square feet of space in Santa
Clara, California, which includes offices and research space under a lease
agreement that runs through December 2002, with an option for a three-year
extension. The monthly base rent is currently $30,600, increasing by $900 per
month for each year through the end of the lease term, plus operating expenses
for the common areas of the entire complex equal to our pro-rata square footage
of the complex (approximately 47% of the building, 27% of the project). The
offices house all of our operations including the assembly and final testing
required for shipment of our products.
Sierra Vista previously occupied approximately 2,800 square feet of office
space in Beverly Hills, California under a three (3) year original lease
agreement effective October 1, 1997, at a rate of $5,882 per month for the first
eighteen months and $6,162 per month thereafter. This lease was guaranteed by
us. In 1998, Sierra Vista vacated the space and it was subsequently re-let by
the landlord to an independent third party without adverse financial impact to
us.

to acquire the remaining 500,000 shares of our common stock shall vest on June
26, 2003, or earlier as determined by the compensation committee based on
performance goals. These options shall remain exercisable until June 26, 2003,
and in addition shall not expire earlier than two (2) years from the date of any
change of control. Finally, pursuant to his employment contract, Mr. Alioto
shall be indemnified and held harmless by us in connection with his service as
our President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Alioto's employment is on an "at-will" basis. Either of us may
terminate the employment at any time for any reason. However, in the event of
termination without "cause," we shall pay Mr. Alioto a minimum severance salary,
which is equal to three months pay at Mr. Alioto's then-existing salary as well
as twelve (12) additional months of medical and dental insurance coverage for
Mr. Alioto and his dependents. In general, the term "cause" means a willful

employment contract, or the commission of such acts of dishonesty, fraud, or
other acts of moral turpitude as would prevent the effective performance of Mr.
Alioto's duties. Mr. Alioto was elected to the board on June 13, 1998, and
became chairman of the board on December 15, 1998.
Stock Option Plans
We established a 1999 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan or the 1999 Plan to
serve as a vehicle to attract and retain the services of key employees and to
help them realize a direct proprietary interest in us. The 1999 Plan provides
for the grant of up to 5,000,000 non-qualified stock options to be administered
by the compensation committee. The compensation committee has the discretion to
determine the optionees, the number of shares to be covered by each option, the
exercise schedule, and other terms of the options. The 1999 Plan may be amended,
suspended, or terminated by the board, but no such action may impair rights
<PAGE>28
under a previously granted option. As of June 30, 2000, 2,147,923 options to
acquire shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1999 Plan.
We established a 1996 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan or the
1996 Plan. The purpose of the 1996 Plan is to encourage stock ownership by our
employees and officers to give them a greater personal interest in the success
of our business. A total of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock are authorized
to be issued under the 1996 Plan. The exercise price of any incentive stock
option granted under the 1996 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market
value of the our common stock on the date of grant. The fair market value for
which an optionee may be granted incentive stock options in any calendar year
may not exceed $100,000. Shares subject to options under the 1996 Plan may be
purchased for cash. The 1996 Plan is administered by the compensation committee
which has discretion to determine optionees, the number of shares to be covered
by each option, the exercise schedule, and other terms of the options. The 1996
Plan may be amended, suspended, or terminated by the board, but no such action
may impair rights under a previously granted option. Each qualified option is
exercisable, during the lifetime of the optionee, only so long as the optionee
remains employed by us. No option is transferrable by the optionee other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. As of June 30, 2000, 1,246,190
options to acquire shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1996 Plan.
The following table shows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999,

is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect
to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants
currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days, are deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters
We adopted certain indemnification provisions to our bylaws that allow us
to indemnify current and former directors, officers, employees or agents for
expenses, including attorney fees, as a result of any threatened, pending suit
or proceedings arising as a result of such person being our director, officer,
employee or agent. Further, we have entered into indemnification agreements with
our officers and directors, and have obtained liability insurance.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small
business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees, and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all or none of their
common stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling common stock:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o short sales;
o broker-dealer may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
o a combination of any such methods of sale; and
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
<PAGE>34
The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box,
puts and calls and other transactions in securities of ours or derivatives of
our securities and may sell or deliver common stock in connection with these
trades. The selling stockholders may pledge their common shares to their brokers
under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder
defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the
pledged common shares.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of common shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration
of the common stock, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling
shareholders. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against
certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
Jashell Investments Limited
We have been advised by Jashell that it may sell the common stock from time
to time in transactions on the OTC Bulletin Board, or any exchange where the
common stock is then listed, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, or by a
combination of these methods, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market
prices at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices or at negotiated
prices. Jashell may effect these transactions by selling the common stock to or
through broker-dealers, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from Jashell or the purchasers of common stock to or
through broker-dealers, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from Jashell or the purchasers of common stock for
whom the broker-dealer may act as an agent or to whom it may sell the common
stock as a principal, or both. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer
may be in excess of customary commissions.
Jashell is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with the sale of the common stock offered hereby. Assuming that we
are in compliance with the conditions of the common stock purchase agreement we
entered into in connection with the equity finance facility, Jashell must accept
draw downs of shares from us, subject to maximum aggregate dollar amounts,
during the term of the agreement. Broker-dealers who act in connection with the
sale of the common stock may also be deemed to be underwriters. Profits on any
resale of the common stock as a principal by such broker-dealers may be deemed
to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any
broker-dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive
commissions from Jashell and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of our
common stock, from such purchaser. Broker-dealers may agree with Jashell to sell
<PAGE>35
a specified number of shares of our common stock at a stipulated price per
share, and, to the extent such a broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as
agent for Jashell, to purchase as principal any unsold common stock at the price
required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to Jashell. Broker-dealers who
acquire common stock as principal may thereafter resell the common stock from
time to time in transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions
and which may involve sales to and through other broker-dealers, including
transactions of the nature described above) in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or
receive from the purchasers of such common stock commissions computed as
described above.
The common stock offered hereby is being registered pursuant to our
contractual obligations, and we have agreed to pay the costs of registering the
shares hereunder. We have also agreed to reimburse Jashell's costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the common stock purchase agreement, including fees,
expenses and disbursements of counsel for Jashell for the preparation of the
agreement up to a maximum of $22,500, and all reasonable fees incurred in
connection with any amendment, modification or waiver, to or enforcement of the
agreement.
The price at which the common shares will be issued by us to Jashell will
fluctuate. The price will be between 79% and 82% of the daily volume weighted
average price over an 22-day trading period on the OTC Bulletin Board as
reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. In the event of a draw down related to a
special activity, such as any one-time charge we expect to incur for any reason,
including, in connection with the acquisition of another business, the price
will be 76% of the daily volume weighted average price. Please see the "Equity
Financing Facility" subsection of this prospectus.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During the past two fiscal years, we have entered into certain transactions
with two of our current directors. However, the amount of the transaction
involving each director did not exceed $60,000.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Under our certificate of incorporation, we are authorized to issue
150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of which 36,534,593 were
outstanding as of June 30, 2000.
Common Stock
Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock
held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. For the election of
directors, each holder of common stock has the right to cumulate his votes,
which means each share shall have the number of votes equal to the number of
directors to be elected and all of which votes may be cast for any one nominee.
The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to
conversion or redemption. Upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the
holders of common stock outstanding at that time would be entitled to share
ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities. Each
outstanding share of common stock now is, and all shares of common stock that
will be outstanding after completion of the offering will be, fully paid and
non-assessable.
<PAGE>36
Warrants and Options
As of June 30, 2000, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 5,949,500
shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging between $.16 and $2.00 per
share and we had outstanding options to purchase 4,739,113 shares of our common
stock at exercise prices ranging between $.16 and $2.59 per share.
Transfer Agent
Computershare Trust Company, Inc., formerly American Securities Transfer,
12039 W. Alameda Parkway, Suite Z-2, Lakewood, Colorado 80228 is the transfer
agent for our common stock.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On November 10, 1997, we filed suit against Michael D. Haynes, David S.
Jett, Manhattan West, Inc., Marketing Direct Concepts, Inc., Checkers
Foundation, Silicon Software International, Atlas Stock Transfer Corporation,
Arun Pande, Edwin Reedholm, and others in the Superior Court of the County of
San Francisco (Case Number 990965). The complaint alleged that in connection
with the reverse merger of Jettson Realty Development Corporation and InnovaCom,
a Florida corporation, we issued shares of our common stock to Michael D. Haynes
and David S. Jett and entities controlled by them based upon fraudulent
representations. Further, we alleged, that Manhattan West, Marketing Direct
Concepts, and Checkers Foundation and Silicon Software International, two
entities alleged to be controlled by Messrs. Haynes and Jett, were issued fees,
common stock, and options to acquire shares of common stock based upon
misrepresentations, including that they could raise capital to assist us in our
business. We also alleged that Atlas Stock Transfer, our former transfer agent,
breached its contract in issuing shares of common stock in these transactions.
In addition, we alleged that Mr. Pande, our former director and officer,
violated his fiduciary duty by receiving shares of our common stock based upon
misrepresentations and inadequate or no consideration, and made inappropriate
and unauthorized expenditures on our behalf for his personal benefit, and that
Mr. Reedholm, a former director, received shares of our common stock without the
payment of adequate consideration. We alleged RICO (Racketeer Influenced
Corrupted Organizations Act) violations against all defendants. We sought
damages in excess of $26 million plus punitive damages.
Settlements have been reached with Mr. Pande, Mr. Reedholm, Marketing
Direct Concepts, Manhattan West, Inc., Atlas Stock Transfer, and with one other
defendant for payments of cash by the defendants and relief of a debt previously
owed by us to two defendants, all in the amount of approximately $725,000. In
addition as a part of the settlements, options to purchase 1,099,999 shares of
our common stock held by the defendants were canceled. The settlement with Mr.
Reedholm included release of his claims against us in the Decorah Company
lawsuit. The settlement with Atlas Stock Transfer included the assignment by
Atlas Stock Transfer to us certain claims that Atlas Stock Transfer might have
against other parties for their actions in accepting and processing our stock
certificates.
A number of defendants have defaulted and we have received entries of
judgment against them. As a result, we canceled 1,010,329 shares of our common
stock, options to purchase 700,000 shares of our common stock, and liabilities
of $247,000, and seized a cash balance held by a third party of approximately
$12,000. We are pursuing efforts to fully collect our judgment from the
defaulted defendants.
<PAGE>37
There is currently no active litigation with any of the original parties
under this suit. In all instances we have settled with the parties, dropped them
from the suit, or received judgments against them.
In 1999 and 2000, we amended our complaint and named six additional
defendants. Additional defendants may be named shortly. These new defendants and
potential defendants are brokers whom we allege accepted for deposit or
negotiated fraudulent stock certificates in 1996 and 1997. The amended
litigation is still in its initial stages and discovery is continuing.
On February 25, 2000, we filed suit against Swiss American Securities,
Inc., and five other stock brokerages in the San Jose Division of the United
States District Court (Case Number C-0020214). The complaint alleges that the
defendants in this action guaranteed improper endorsements of stock certificates
issued as part of the reverse merger of Jettson Realty Development Corporation
and InnovaCom, a Florida corporation, in 1996. Our claims in this action were
assigned to us by Atlas Stock Transfer as part of the settlement with Atlas
Stock Transfer in the Haynes litigation discussed above. The litigation is in
its initial stages and discovery has not yet begun.
On November 1, 1999, we filed a complaint against our former auditor
Michael Hoffer (Orange County Superior Court No. 816504). The 1999 complaint
alleges malpractice and conflict of interest with respect to the auditor's
actions in the time frame covered by the allegations in the Haynes suit,
discussed above. This litigation is still in its initial stages and discovery is
continuing.
In August 1998, the staff of the Division of Enforcement of the Securities
and Exchange Commission advised us that the Securities and Exchange Commission
had issued a formal order for private investigation. The investigation involves
allegations that, since January 1, 1995, certain of our present or former
officers, directors, employees, business consultants, investment bankers, and/or
certain other persons or entities associated with us, may have employed devices,
schemes, or artifices to defraud, by, among other things, making undisclosed
payments to certain registered representatives relating to sales of the our
securities, and by manipulating our stock price. We do not believe that any
sanctions that we may likely receive from the Securities and Exchange Commission
based upon this investigation will materially affect our financial position or
operations. Discovery has been initiated.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of common stock offered by selling stockholders
will be passed upon by the law firm of Bartel Eng Linn & Schroder, Sacramento,
California. Certain of its members own shares of common stock representing less
than 1% of our outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, the firm holds a
warrant to purchase up to 75,000 shares of common stock.

flows for each of the two years then ended and from inception, included in this
prospectus have been included herein in reliance on the report of Hein +

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Stockholders and Board of Directors
InnovaCom, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a Development Stage Enterprise)
Santa Clara, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of InnovaCom, Inc.
and subsidiaries (a Development Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 1999, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity
(deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
for the period from March 3, 1993 (inception) to December 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InnovaCom, Inc. and
subsidiaries (a Development Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 1999, and the
results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998, and for the period from March 3, 1993 (inception) to December 31, 1999
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations,
and as of December 31, 1999 has negative working capital of $17,309,248, and has
a stockholders' deficit of $17,128,098, that raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with regard
to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
reported asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
InnovaCom, Inc. (the "Company") was formed to develop digital video
compression and processing technology to provide broadcast quality video
encoding and processing products and systems.
The Company was formed pursuant to a business reorganization effective July
10, 1996 between Jettson Realty Development, Inc. ("JRD"), a Nevada
corporation formed in 1990 and InnovaCom Corp. (InnovaCom Florida), a
Florida corporation formed in 1993. Under the reorganization, JRD issued
6,000,000 previously unissued restricted common shares in exchange for all
of the issued and outstanding common stock of InnovaCom Florida. JRD's
board of directors then changed the name of JRD to InnovaCom, Inc. and
InnovaCom Florida became its wholly owned subsidiary. Prior to the
reorganization, JRD had no operations. This transaction was accounted for
as a reverse acquisition of JRD by InnovaCom Florida.
On May 14, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Sierra Vista Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada Corporation ("Sierra
Vista"), in exchange for 8,514,500 previously unissued shares of common
stock of the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. The
fair market value per share of the common stock issued in the transaction
was $0.50. The resulting purchase price was $4,257,250 with $1,090,452
being allocated to goodwill. Sierra Vista was formed to acquire, produce
and distribute low-budget feature films. On June 15, 1998 (measurement
date), the Company's Board of Directors decided to discontinue the
operations of Sierra Vista. Accordingly, Sierra Vista is accounted for as a
discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
Liabilities in excess of assets of discontinued operations consist of
Sierra Vista accounts payable as of December 31, 1999. Since inception,
Sierra Vista has never generated any revenues.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
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 amounts reported in the financial
statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results could differ from
those estimates.
The Company's financial statements are based upon a number of significant
estimates, including the estimated useful lives selected for property and
equipment and the adequacy of valuation allowances. Due to the
uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably
possible that these estimates will be further revised in the near term and
such revisions could be material.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information subsequent to December 31, 1999 is unaudited)
Statement of Cash Flows - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives (3 years) of the respective assets. The cost of
normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred.
Material expenditures that increase the life of an asset are capitalized
and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. The
cost of fixed assets sold, or otherwise disposed of, and the related
accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts, and
any gains or losses are reflected in current operations.
Goodwill - Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost over the net
tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the acquired business, was
stated at cost and was amortized on a straight-line basis, over the future
periods to be benefited estimated to be three years. Due to the
discontinuance of Sierra Vista, goodwill in the amount of $848,129 was
written off during the year ended December 31, 1998.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In the event that facts and circumstances
indicate that the cost of long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation
of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the
estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be
compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to
market value or discounted cash flow value is required.
Revenue Recognition - The Company allows customers to demo units, for a
period specified in the purchase order, prior to committing to a sale.
Revenue is recognized once the customer has committed to purchase the demo
units
Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issue costs represent the offering costs
associated with the sale of the debentures (See Note 9) and were being
amortized using the interest method over the life of the debentures. The
Company was in violation of certain covenants under the terms of the
debentures. Consequently, the debentures are classified as current in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and debt issue costs of
$664,815 capitalized as of December 31, 1997 were written off during the
year ended December 31, 1998. Debt issue costs associated with debentures
sold during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were immediately
expensed due to the violation of certain covenants under the terms of the
debentures.
Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are charged
to operations in the period incurred.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability
method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included
in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
(APB25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock
options. In accordance with FASB123 entitled "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation"; the Company will disclose the impact of adopting the fair
value accounting of employee stock options. Transactions in equity
instruments with non-employees for goods or services have been accounted
for using the fair value method prescribed by FASB123.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Credit risk represents the accounting loss
that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed
completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk (whether
on or off balance sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for
groups of customers or groups of counterparties when they have similar
economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual
obligations to be similarly effected by changes in economic or other
conditions. In accordance with FASB105 entitled "Disclosure of Information
about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial
Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk", the credit risk amounts
shown do not take into account the value of any collateral or security.
The Company operates primarily in one industry segment and a concentration
exists because the Company's has two primary customers that generate more
than 61% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 1999. Financial
instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of
accounts receivable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The estimated fair values for
financial instruments, under FASB107 entitled "Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments", are determined at discrete points in time based
on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and
cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair values of the
Company's financial instruments, which includes all cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, short term demand notes, convertible
debentures, and other debt, approximates the carrying value in the
consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1999.
Earnings per Share - Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. All such
securities or other contracts were anti-dilutive for all periods presented
and, therefore, excluded from the computation of earnings per share.
Impact of Recently Issued Standards - In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 (FASB133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is encouraged; however, the
Company does not anticipate adopting FASB133 until the fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2000. FASB133 requires that entities recognize all
derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position
and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company does not believe
the adoption of FASB133 will have a material impact on its financial
statements.

Reclassification - Certain reclassifications have been made to conform 1998
financial statements to the presentation in 1999. The reclassifications had
no effect on net income.
Interim Financial Information - The March 31, 2000 and 1999 financial
statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion
of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2000
and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of those that
will be obtained for the entire fiscal year.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However,
there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern because of the magnitude of its loss of $7,139,859 for the
year ended December 31, 1999, and its negative working capital of
$17,309,248 and its stockholder's deficit of $17,128,098 as of December 31,
1999. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to
raise substantial capital, to generate revenues to significantly improve
operations and ultimately achieve profitability.
During 1999, the Company sold $750,000 in 7% convertible debentures,
converted $114,292 of debt and accrued interest to equity, settled $481,506
of accounts payable for a discount resulting in a gain on extinguishment of
liabilities totaling $235,093, and borrowed $4,200,000 through the issuance
of 13% secured promissory notes, due on demand, and is attempting to raise
additional capital. Management believes that these actions will allow the
Company to continue as a going concern.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverabilty and classification of recorded asset amounts
or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustment
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.

In connection with the notes payable - related parties discussed above, the
Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to the related parties and
has recognized $175,000 in interest expense for the year ended December 31,
1998 for the fair value of the shares issued.
During 1997, the Company entered into a revolving convertible debt facility
with a shareholder which bore interest at 10% and provided for the
conversion of all amounts outstanding into common stock at a conversion
price equal to 80% of the market price for a share of common stock at the
time a draw is funded. In May 1998, the shareholder converted $4,181,421 of
the amount outstanding into 1,742,362 shares of common stock. In June 1998,
the shareholder converted its remaining balance outstanding of $317,357
into common stock and terminated the credit facility. As an inducement to
make this conversion, the Company allowed the shareholder to convert the
remaining balance into 1,220,608 shares of common stock based on the market
price of the stock of $0.26 per share as opposed to the conversion price of
$2.40 per share. During 1998, the Company recognized an additional expense
of $260,645 for the value of the additional shares issued to induce the
conversion.

At December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000 options to purchase 2,412,502 and
1,242,502 shares, respectively, were exercisable at prices ranging from
$0.26 to $3.37 per share. The remaining 220,000 options outstanding at

If not previously exercised or forfeited, all options will expire during
the years ended December 31, 2000 through 2008.
As stated in Note 2, the Company has not adopted the fair value accounting
prescribed by FASB123 for employees. Had compensation cost for stock
options issued to employees been determined based on the fair value at
grant date for awards in 1999 and 2000 consistent with the provisions of
FASB123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been
adjusted to the proforma amounts indicated below:

The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:
risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.70% to 6.67%, expected life of
three years; dividend yield of 0%; and expected volatility ranging from
136.7% to 175.8%. The weighted-average fair value of the options on the
grant date for years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $0.16, $1.41, $0.25, and $0.13 per share,
respectively.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
In July 1997, the board of directors approved the Company entering into an
agreement to obtain a 66% interest in a joint venture with China
International Radio Development. As part of this agreement, the Company
will have to fund up to $200,000 of expenses. The purpose of the joint
venture is to develop an exhibition center in China to display new
high-tech products. In connection with obtaining the joint venture
interest, during 1998, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to
a third party as a finder's fee upon closing of the agreement and
recognized $26,000 in expense for services provided. During the year ended
December 31, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to obtain a
release from all obligations under the joint venture agreement. As part of
the agreement, in March 1999, the Company paid $53,000 for past consulting
fees, canceled the 100,000 shares previously issued for services in 1998,
and issued 200,000 new shares at a price of $0.15 per common share.

Litigation - On November 10, 1997 the Company filed a suit against former
officers and directors of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty and
third parties who were involved in the initial merger between the Company
and Jettson Realty Development as well as the private placements of the
Jettson Realty Development stock. The suit claims fraud, breach of
fiduciary duty and negligence surrounding the acquisition. Management
intends to pursue this lawsuit vigorously and believes that no material
adverse impact will arise as a result of the litigation. During 1997, the
Company has entered into a settlement agreement with the Company's former
president related to this suit whereby the Company's president agreed to
return 500,000 shares of common stock. During 1998, the Company obtained
defaults against certain of the defendants whereby the Company was awarded
approximately $25 million in damages, allowed to cancel 1,010,329 shares of
its common stock previously issued to the defendants, and retain $250,959
of contested proceeds from a private placement. The Company has given no
accounting recognition to the $25 million in damages.
During 1999, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and mutual
release with a party named in the November 10, 1997 lawsuit for proceeds in
favor of the Company equaling $80,000. In addition, the Company entered
into another settlement agreement with a party named in the November 10,
1997 lawsuit for proceeds in favor of the Company totaling $70,000 to be
paid in two payments of $20,000 on September 15, 1999 and October 15, 1999
and three annual payments of $10,000 due September 15, 2000 through 2002.
In connection with the November 10, 1997 lawsuit, the Company has entered
into a settlement agreement with the transfer agent named in the lawsuit in
November 1999. In exchange for the mutual release of all claims, the
transfer agent agreed to a judgement in favor of the Company for $750,000
to be paid in one payment of $350,000 on December 15, 1999 and eight annual
payments of $50,000 due December 15, 2000 through 2007.
In August 1998, the Staff of the Division of Enforcement of the Securities
and Exchange Commission advised the Company that the Commission had issued
a formal order for private investigation. The investigation involves
allegations that, since January 1, 1995, certain of the Company's present
or former officers, directors, employees, business consultants, investment

bankers, and/or certain other persons or entities associated with the
Company may have employed devices, schemes, or artifices to defraud, by,
among other things, making undisclosed payments to certain registered
representatives relating to sales of the Company's securities, and by
manipulating the Company's stock price. Discovery has been initiated.
Management believes based on current information, that there will be no
material adverse impact on the Company as a result of this investigation.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS(UNAUDITED):
During the three month period between April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000,
the Company entered into promissory note agreements totaling $1,300,000
that are due on demand and accrue interest at 13% per annum. The notes are
secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. As part of the
issuance of the notes, the Company issued to the note holder five-year
warrants to purchase 650,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from
$0.37 to $0.50. In addition, the Company issued five-year warrants to
purchase 260,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.72 to
$0.97 per share as a finder's fee. The Company recognized interest expense
of $616,528, related to the promissory notes, during the three month period
between April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000 that is attributable to the
fair value of the warrants issued.
On June 19, 2000, as amended on July 26, 2000, the Company entered into a
common stock purchase agreement and related agreements with Jashell
Investments Limited (Jashell), a private equity fund. Subject to the
fulfillment of certain conditions, the agreements provide us with an equity
financing facility through which the Company may sell up to $10,000,000
shares of common stock, at their option, to Jashell periodically over a 24
month period. The Company's ability to request a draw down under the
facility is subject to the continued effectiveness of a resale registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to cover the
shares to be issued. The amount of common stock to be sold at each draw
down will not be less than $250,000 nor more than $1,000,000. The Company
has agreed to sell the shares to Jashell at a price equal to the then
current market price of the common stock during the draw down period, less
a discount of 21% to 24% specifically determined based upon a formula. The
number of shares the Company may sell to Jashell varies depending on
certain factors, including the market price of the common stock and the
then current ownership interest of Jashell. In connection with each draw
down, the Company granted Jashell a warrant to purchase up to 50% of the
number of shares acquired in a draw down at an exercise price equal to the
purchase price of the common stock acquired pursuant to the draw down. The
warrant will expire 22 business days after its issuance.
As part of the issuance of the Common Stock purchase agreement, the Company
issued to the investor warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $0.70 per share. In addition, 10,000 shares of
common stock were issued at the market price of $0.6875 per share on June
19, 2000 as a finders fee.
Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the Company issued 122,573 shares of common
stock at the par value of $0.001 in a cashless exercise of warrants
originally issued in connection with the secured promissory notes.
During May, 2000, the Company granted options to purchase 3,000 shares of
common stock to employees under the 1999 plan. The options were granted
with exercise prices equal to market on the date of grant of $0.80 per
share. The options expire in 2005 and vest over three years.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
We have adopted Section 78.7502 of the Domestic and Foreign Corporation
Laws of the State of Nevada in its bylaws. Section 78.7502 states:
1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of
the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in
good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he
acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to
which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent
jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to
the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit
was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon
application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
as the court deems proper.
<PAGE>II-2
We have entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and
directors. Pursuant to the agreements, we agreed to defend and indemnify such
officers and directors for all expenses and liabilities for acting as such.
In addition, we carry directors' and officers' insurance pursuant to
authority in our Bylaws to maintain a liability insurance policy which insures
directors or officers against any liability incurred by them in their capacity
as such, or arising out of their status as such.

Item 28. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually
or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(iii) Include any additional changed material information on the plan
of distribution.
(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof;
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
undersigned registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
undersigned registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
