FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of SPACEDEV, INC.
("the Company") include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The 1999 condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Integrated Space
Systems, Inc. (ISS) (a California corporation) and Space Innovations Limited
(SIL) (a United Kingdom entity). The Company disposed of its interest in Space
Innovations Limited on December 17, 1999. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion
of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the
dates and for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information. Consequently, these statements do
not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles for annual financial statements nor those normally made in an Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB. Accordingly, reference should be made to the Company's
Form 10-SB filed on April 28, 2000 and other reports the Company filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for additional disclosures, including a
summary of the Company's accounting policies, which have not materially changed.
The consolidated results of operations for the three months and the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 or any future period, and
the Company makes no representations related thereto.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30,
2000 and 1999 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going
concern. However, the Company had a working capital deficit of $379,178 as of
September 30, 2000, and incurred a net loss of $203,706 for the nine months then
ended. These conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Subsequent to September 2000, management intends to raise
additional financing through a combination of public and private equity
placements, commercial project financing and government program funding to fund
future operations and commitments. There is no assurance that additional debt
and equity financing needed to fund operations will be consummated or obtained
in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company's needs.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the results of operations
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those
estimates.
Net loss per common share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding, according to the rules of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Diluted net loss per share
has not been presented as the computation would result in anti-dilution.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
statements to conform to the current period presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on reported total assets or net loss.

<PAGE>
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's revenues are derived primarily from fixed price contracts and are
recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting
based on the ratio of incurred costs to total estimated costs. Losses on
contracts are recognized when they become known and reasonably estimable. Actual
results of contracts may differ from management's estimates and such differences
could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Professional fees
are billed to customers on a time and materials basis, a fixed price basis or a
per-transaction basis. Time and materials revenues are recognized as services
are performed.
Billings in excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings represent the excess
of amounts billed in accordance with the contractual billing terms. At September
30, 2000, billings in excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings were
$6,301.
3. LINE OF CREDIT
In November 1998, the Company (through ISS) obtained a bank line of credit in
the amount of $250,000, which matured in November 1999 and was renewed until
October 26, 2000. At September 30, 2000 and 1999, the outstanding balance on the
line of credit was $83,195 and $121,410, respectively. On October 20, 2000, the
line of credit was paid in full and management is currently negotiating a new
line of credit.
The line of credit was secured by all of the assets of ISS. The Company and a
major stockholder also guaranteed the line. The interest rate under the line of
credit was prime (9.50% at September 30, 2000) plus 2.00%.
4. NOTES PAYABLE
(a) BUILDING NOTES
On December 21, 1998, the Company borrowed $1,300,000 from a lender to finance
the purchase of its facility in Poway, California. The note called for monthly
payments and a balloon payment on December 21, 1999. The note accrued interest
at 13%. The note continued on a month-to-month basis until it was paid in full
on February 23, 2000.
On February 23, 2000, the Company signed a $1,330,000 note with a new lender to
refinance the aforementioned debt. The note calls for 300 monthly payments with
interest at the bank's prime rate (9.50% at September 30, 2000) plus 1.50%. The
note matures on March 1, 2025. The outstanding balance on this loan at September
30, 2000 was $1,330,000.
In December 1998, the CEO of the Company entered into a $500,000 loan agreement
with another lender to finance additional costs of its new facility. This
liability was assigned to the Company and calls for 59 monthly interest payments
at 12.23% and a balloon payment of $505,000, including interest, on December 17,
2003. At September 30, 2000 and 1999, the outstanding balance on this loan was
$499,671 and $500,000, respectively.
In 1999, the Company entered into a second loan agreement with this lender. The
$460,000 loan calls for 59 monthly interest payments at 10.5% and a balloon
payment of $464,000, including interest, in March 2004. At September 30, 2000
and 1999, the outstanding balance on this loan was $458,609 and $460,000,
respectively.
(b) RELATED PARTIES
The Company had notes payable to the Chairman and a former key employee. At
September 30, 2000 and 1999, the balances were $595,992 and $627,000,
respectively, with interest between 4% and 10%. As part of a February 2000
Separation and Release Agreement with the former key employee, $70,000 of
principal and accrued interest was paid in monthly installments through July
2000.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). The
new standard requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as
assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from
changes in the values of those derivatives will be reported in the statement of
operations or as a deferred item, depending on the use of the derivatives and
whether they qualify for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge
accounting is that the derivative must be highly effective in achieving
offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items during the
term of the hedge. The Company is required to adopt FAS 133 in 2001 and has not
yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of FAS 133 will have on the
consolidated financial statements.
In December 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin no. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101). SAB
101 is effective no later than the quarter ended December 31, 2000. Since the
Company is substantially in compliance with SAB 101, management believes the
adoption of SAB 101 will not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25" (the "Interpretation"). The Interpretation is intended to
provide guidance for certain issues that have arisen in practice since the
issuance of APB 25. The Company will adopt the Interpretation for all
transactions entered into after July 1, 2000 and has not yet determined the
impact, if any, that the adoption of the Interpretation will have on the
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial
information appearing elsewhere in this document. In addition to historical
information, the following discussion and other parts of this document contain
forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking
information due to a number of factors beyond the Company's control.
OVERVIEW
During 1998, SpaceDev acquired Integrated Space System ("ISS") and
Space Innovation Limited ("SIL"). On February 7, 1998, the Company issued
2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and acquired all of the outstanding
shares of common stock of ISS. ISS provides engineering and technical services
related to space-based systems, primarily launch vehicle integration. The fair
value of the shares issued was $1.8125 per share, calculated using the average
daily closing prices for a period surrounding the acquisition date. The
acquisition price was not reduced for the Rule 144 restrictions on the shares of
common stock. The total purchase price was valued at $3,625,000. The excess of
the calculated purchase price of the approximately $164,000 of net assets
acquired was capitalized as goodwill and is being amortized over sixty months.
On October 1, 1998, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of restricted
common stock and acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of SIL.
SIL develops low-cost satellites and satellite subsystems for use in space. The
fair value of the shares issued was $1.75 per share and was calculated using the
average daily closing prices for a period surrounding the acquisition date. The
acquisition price was not reduced for the Rule 144 restrictions on the shares of
common stock. The total purchase price was valued at $3,182,000, including
approximately $432,000 of liabilities in excess of the value of assets acquired.
Also included in the total goodwill was an acquisition price payable of
$1,000,000. To satisfy the payable, the Company was to issue $1,000,000 of
restricted common stock to the former shareholders of SIL in four equal
semi-annual installments. The fair market value of the common stock at specified
dates would be used to determine the number of shares to be issued. The
resulting goodwill amount of $3,182,000 is being amortized over sixty months.
In 1998, operating activities included engineering technical services
work for aerospace customers and continued development of NEAP preliminary
designs and mission analysis. During 1999, operating activities included
preliminary design and conceptual studies for the CHIPSat program, engineering
technical services and continued work on the NEAP mission. SpaceDev's employee
base increased with the acquisition of ISS to 20 employees in February 1998.
In 1998, SpaceDev entered into a fixed price contract with the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory ("JPL") to provide mission support for the Deep Space
Tracking Network. JPL's main task was to coordinate the NEAP mission trajectory
analysis into their Deep Space Network Plan. SpaceDev paid JPL $10,000 for this
phase of work. The nature of the contract is highly technical. Quoting from the
statement of work: "Supported work will focus on NEAP telecommunications system
analysis and Deep Space Network/Advanced Multi-Mission Operations System
("DSN/AMMOS") mission support assessment." In plain English, this means JPL will
work to understand NEAP communications needs in relation to other missions which
might be flying at the same time, relative to the Deep Space Network capacity to
handle multiple missions simultaneously. This is a standard study performed in
advance of all proposed deep space missions.

On November 20, 1998, SpaceDev initiated its DSN support contract with
JPL. The total cost of the effort was agreed to be $35,000. Approximately
one-third of the work has been performed to-date at a cost to SpaceDev of
$10,000. As additional planning work is required to be performed by JPL under
the contract, to stay current with the NASA and JPL planning process as it moves
forward, more of the agreed upon tasks will be performed by JPL. SpaceDev will
pay the remaining balance of $25,000 as those tasks are completed by JPL, which
could extend through the end of 2001.
On June 23, 1999, the Company filed for a registration statement with
the State of Colorado for units consisting of one share of $.0001 par value
common stock and one re-pricing warrant to purchase one share of common stock.
The primary purpose of the offering was to raise $350,000 under Rule 504 of the
Securities Act of 1933 to finance development of a hybrid rocket. That
registration statement was made effective by the State of Colorado on August 26,
1999, providing for a per unit price of $1.50 per share. Due to fluctuations in
the market price of the Company's common stock, the Company was forced to
negotiate a per unit price based on the five-day trading average, less thirty
percent. The entire offering of $350,000 was sold to a single investor in
Colorado at a price of $0.91 per unit. Following that sale, the Company
determined to raise the aggregate offering price in order to allow it to obtain
funding during preparation of its Form 10-SB Registration Statement. The
registration statement was amended for a total aggregate offering price of
$730,000, with a per unit price based on the negotiated amount paid by the
initial investor, and was made effective by the State of Colorado on October 13,
1999. Following effectiveness of the post-effective amendment, the Company sold
an additional $10,000 in units under the offering at a price of $0.83 per unit.
The repricing warrants were convertible into common stock of the
Company if the market price of the Company's common stock dropped below the
price paid per unit in the offering during the 150 days immediately following
issuance. The conversion formula was to be based on a minimum market price of
$1.25 per share. If the 150-day average closing bid price of the common stock
exceeded the unit price in the offering, the warrants would automatically
expire. Since the units were issued to investors at a discount, the warrants are
not convertible under the conversion formula, which uses a minimum market price
of $1.25, since any calculation under the formula results in a negative number.
As a result, no further shares will be issued as a result of the issuance of the
re-pricing warrants.
In November 1999, SpaceDev was awarded a $4,995,868 million mission
contract by the Space Sciences Laboratory ("SSL") at University of California,
Berkeley ("UCB"). SpaceDev was competitively selected by UCB/SSL to design,
build, integrate, test and operate for one year a small scientific,
Earth-orbiting spacecraft called CHIPSat. The CHIPSat contract will conclude on
December 31, 2003. Revenues for 2000, 2001 and 2002 are expected to be
approximately, $2.0 million, $ 1.4 million and $1.1 million. The payments on the
contract are made on a monthly basis according to a preset payment schedule.
This was the Company's first production contract. As a result, the Company is
taking a conservative approach to accounting for the contract and will not be
taking any profit on the contract in 2000. The Company will review this position
on a quarterly basis and will adjust its position when it has a better
assessment of the costs related to the project. The company will conduct an
extensive review on the contract during the Fourth Quarter of 2000 and will
report the results at the end of the year.
On December 17, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors entered into a
Mutual Release and Rescission of Agreement ("Release Agreement") to rescind the
original acquisition of SIL, effective October 1, 1998. Subsequent to SIL's
acquisition and prior to December 17, 1999, the accounts of SIL were included in
the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
12
<PAGE>
The Release Agreement resulted in the retirement of the 1,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock which had been issued to the former
shareholders of SIL, the cancellation of all outstanding options for Company
stock and the cancellation of the acquisition price payable. The transaction was
recorded as a purchase of treasury stock. In accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions," the
transaction was recorded as a decrease to stockholders' equity. Therefore,
$423,345 was recorded as a decrease in the Company's additional paid-in-capital
on December 17, 1999.
The significant components of the amount recorded in 1999 as a
reduction to additional paid-in capital are as follows:
Loss on unamortized goodwill $ (1,929,000)
Gain on extinguishment of acquisition price payable 1,000,000
Net liabilities disposed of from SIL 506,000
--------------
$ (423,000)
==============
The Company was previously a guarantor on a bank line of credit used to
finance SIL's operations. Under terms of the Release Agreement, SIL agreed to
apply 25 percent of the proceeds from each payment received on a specific
contract until the bank loan was paid in full. Once the loan had been paid in
full, the loan agreement was to be terminated, releasing the Company's guarantor
obligation. At December 31, 1999, the outstanding balance on the bank line of
credit was approximately $386,000, maturing on January 18, 2001 with interest at
the bank's prime (8.5% at December 31, 1999) plus 1.25 percent. On October 5,
2000 the amount of the line guaranteed by the Company was paid down to $0 and
the loan agreement has been terminated.
In July 2000, the Company was awarded two contracts from the Office of
Space Launch of the National Reconnaissance Office for a total of approximately
$800,000 these contracts are expected to be completed in the second quarter of
2001. This work is a continuation of a previous contract concerning the
development of hybrid space propulsion technology.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Numbers reflected in the following discussion have been rounded to the
nearest one thousandth. Please refer to the financial statements, which are a
part of this report for further information regarding the results of operations
of the Company.
NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had net
sales of $3.1 million as compared to net sales of $3.0 million for the same nine
months in 1999. Sales in 2000 were comprised of $1.6 million from the CHIPSat
program, $572,000 from research and development performed for the Office of
Space Launch ("OSL"), $250,000 from the Boeing Company for a joint study of
beyond Earth Orbit commercial missions and $650,000 for all other programs. In
1999, $2.4 million of sales was from the SIL subsidiary, which is no longer a
part of the Company. The remainder of 1999 sales--$630,000--was from a contract
with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ($145,000), contract work for International
Launch Services ($185,000) and the remainder from other projects.
13
<PAGE>
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had cost
of sales (direct and allocated costs associated with individual contracts) of
$1.8 million and $1.7 million in the same period in 1999. This changes were
primarily due to higher CHIPSat and other project sales volume ($742,000) and a
reclassification of certain overhead costs (such as building expense, equipment
depreciation, utilities and operating supplies) to cost of goods sold
($685,000). The increase was largely offset by a $1.3 million reduction in cost
of goods sold due to the SIL rescission.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had a net
loss of $204,000, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million for the same period in
1999. The reduction in the net loss was due to the rescission of the SIL
acquisition agreement, which reduced the loss by $1.1 million, and an increase
in the volume of sales from the CHIPSat program and the Office of Space Launch,
which absorbed a significant portion of the company's overhead costs.
The Company experienced a decrease in general and administrative
expenses from $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $1.3
million for the same period ended September 30, 2000. General and administrative
expenses consisted primarily of salaries for administrative personnel, fees for
outside consultants, goodwill amortization of acquisition costs, insurance,
legal and accounting fees and other overhead. The reduction was primarily
attributable to the SIL rescission ($1.9 million), a reclassification of certain
overhead costs to costs of goods sold ($685,000) and other cost reductions of
$58,000, partially offset by increased legal and accounting expenses of $50,000
related to the preparation and filing of the Company's registration statement on
Form 10-SB.
Research and development expense decreased from $396,000 for the period
ended September 30, 1999 to $0 for the period ended September 30, 2000. For
2000, all of the Company's research and development efforts have been paid
through contracts with various customers.
THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30,1999
During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had net
sales of $1.1 million as compared to net sales of $1.0 million for the same
three months in 1999. Sales in 2000 were comprised of $564,000 from the CHIPSat
program, $138,000 from the Boeing contract for a joint study of beyond Earth
Orbit commercial missions, $257,000 from the OSL and $193,000 from all other
programs. In 1999, $829,000 of sales was from the SIL subsidiary, which is no
longer, a part of the Company. The remainder of 1999 sales--$175,000--was from
all other programs.
During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had cost
of sales (direct and allocated costs associated with individual contracts) of
$737,000 and $641,000 in the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily
due to higher CHIPSat and other project sales volume ($402,000) and a
reclassification of certain overhead costs (such as building expense, equipment
depreciation, utilities and operating supplies) to cost of goods sold
($275,000). The increase was largely offset by a $581,000 reduction in cost of
goods sold due to the SIL rescission.
During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had a net
loss of $14,000, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the same period in
1999. The reduction in the net loss was due to the rescission of the SIL
agreement, which reduced the loss by $ 434,000, and an increase in the volume of
sales from the CHIPSat, Office of Space Launch and Boeing programs, which
absorbed a significant portion of the company's overhead costs.
14
<PAGE>
The Company experienced a decrease in general and administrative
expenses from $ 1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to
$326,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2000. General and
administrative expenses consisted primarily of salaries for administrative
personnel, fees for outside consultants, goodwill amortization of acquisition
costs, insurance, legal and accounting fees and other overhead. The reduction
was primarily attributable to the SIL rescission ($734,000), a reclassification
of certain overhead costs to costs of goods sold ($275,000) and other cost
reductions of $37,000.
Research and development expense decreased from $115,000 for the period
ended September 30, 1999 to $0 for the period ended September 30, 2000. For
2000, all of the Company's research and development efforts have been paid
through contracts with various customers.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's auditors have expressed a formal auditors' opinion that
the Company's December 31, 1999 financial position raises "substantial" doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern". Management believes that this
condition remains at September 30, 2000. The Company's opportunity to continue
as a going concern depends upon our ability to consummate additional funding.
This funding can come from a variety of sources, including public or private
equity markets, state and federal grants and government and commercial customer
program funding. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
obtain such funding as needed. The likelihood of our success must be considered
in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered in
connection with the developing businesses, those historically encountered by us,
and the competitive environment in which we will operate.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS
133"). The new standard requires companies to record derivatives on the balance
sheet as assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting
from changes in the values of those derivatives will be reported in the
statement of operations or as a deferred item, depending on the use of the
derivatives and whether they qualify for hedge accounting. The key criterion for
hedge accounting is that the derivative must be highly effective in achieving
offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items during the
term of the hedge. The Company is required to adopt FAS 133 in 2001 and has not
yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of FAS 133 will have on the
consolidated financial statements.
In December 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin no. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
101"). SAB 101 is effective no later than the quarter ended December 31, 2000.
Since the Company is substantially in compliance with SAB 101, Management
believes the adoption will not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting
for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25" (the "Interpretation"). The Interpretation is intended to
provide guidance for certain issues that have arisen in practice since the
issuance of APB 25. The Company will adopt the Interpretation for all
transactions entered into after July 1, 2000 and has not yet determined the
impact, if any, that the adoption of the Interpretation will have on the
consolidated financial statements.
15
<PAGE>
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in
recognizing certain income and expense items for financial and tax reporting
purposes. The deferred tax asset of $2,000,000 consisted primarily of the income
tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards, amortization of goodwill and
research and development credits. A valuation allowance has been recorded to
fully offset the deferred tax asset as it is more likely than not that the
assets will not be utilized. The valuation allowance increased approximately
$108,000 in 2000 from $1,892,000 at December 31, 1999 to $2,000,000 at September
30, 2000.
Numbers reflected in the following discussion have been rounded to the
nearest one thousandth. Please refer to the financial statements, which are a
part of this report for further information regarding the liquidity and capital
resources of the Company.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 -VS.- NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
Net increase in cash during the nine months ending September 30, 2000
was $59,000, compared to a net increase of $6,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $420,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $893,000 as
compared to $473,000 used by operating activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. This improvement is attributable primarily to increased
sales volume generated by the CHIPSat program and sales to the Office of Space
Launch, as well as the elimination of negative operating cash flows generated by
the SIL subsidiary.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $33,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $66,000 used during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, a decrease in cash used of $33,000. This difference is
attributable to a reduction in the purchase of fixed assets.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $328,000 for the
nine-month period ending September 30, 2000, a decrease of $877,000 from the
$549,000 provided by financing activities during the nine-month period ending
September 30, 1999. This decrease is attributable to issuing no common stock in
2000 ($555,000) and a reduction of $513,000 in funds provided by related parties
partially offset by $183,000 in all other financing activities.
At September 30, 2000, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves
and cash available for investment, was $162,000 as compared to $113,000 at
September 30, 1999, an increase of $49,000. At September 30, 2000, the Company
has accounts receivable of $287,000 and accounts payable of $508,000.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company's business strategy requires significant capital
expenditures. The Company will incur a substantial portion of these expenditures
before it generates significant sales. Combined with operating expenses, these
capital expenditures will result in a negative cash flow until the Company
establishes an adequate revenue-generating customer base. The Company expects
losses through 2000 and does not expect to generate net positive cash flow from
operations sufficient to fund both operations and capital expenditures until the
launch of its first commercial spacecraft or launch vehicle. There is no
assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain any positive cash flow or
profitability thereafter.

During the years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the
Company raised $1,076,934 (including proceeds from the 504 Colorado offering
described above) through private sales of stock. To execute the company's total
strategy of small, capable, low-cost satellites and launch systems, the company
requires significant funding. The current estimate is over $20 million, which
could come from a combination of private or public equity placements, commercial
project financing and government program funding. At this time, the Company does
not have a commitment from any placement agent or underwriter to implement any
additional public offering or from any government agency to obtain significant
additional program funding for its products.
On November 1, 1999, the Company signed an agreement with the Regents
of the University of California Berkeley for the CHIPSat project. During the
term of the agreement, the Company will receive fixed compensation for the
above-referenced services in a total amount of $4,995,868, of which about $2.0
million is expected to be generated in 2000. The fixed price will be paid in
increments over the term of the contract.
The Company's opportunity to continue as a going concern depends upon
its ability to consummate additional funding. This funding can come from a
variety of sources, including public or private equity markets, state and
federal grants and government and commercial customer program funding. As of
September 30, 2000, the Company's backlog of business was approximately $4.0
million, as opposed to approximately $5.5 million as of fiscal year end 1999.
During the first nine months of 2000, the Company has won $1.3 million of
additional business and obtained over $300,000 in California grant funds. It
currently has over $20 million in outstanding commercial and government
proposals and is preparing over $30 million in additional bids to be submitted
before the end of the year.
The Company may also need to raise additional capital if, for
example,(i) significant delays occur in deploying its first deep-space mission
due to technical difficulties, launch, or satellite failure, or other reasons;
(ii) the Company does not enter into agreements with customers on the terms the
Company anticipates; (iii) the Company's net operating deficit increases because
it incurs significant unanticipated expenses; or (iv) the Company incurs
additional costs from modifying all or part of NEAP or its proposed
hybrid-related systems to meet changed or unanticipated market, regulatory, or
technical requirements. If these or other events occur, there is no assurance
that the Company could raise additional capital on favorable terms, on a timely
basis or at all. A substantial shortfall in funding would delay or prevent
deployment of NEAP and/or the hybrid-related systems.
The Company's ability to execute a public offering or otherwise
obtain funds is subject to numerous factors beyond the Company's control,
including, without limitation, a receptive securities market and appropriate
governmental clearances. No assurances can be given that the Company will be
profitable, or that any additional public offering will occur, that the Company
will be successful in obtaining additional funds from any source or that the
Company will be successful in implementing an acceptable exit strategy on behalf
of its investors. Moreover, additional funds, if obtainable at all, may not be
available on terms acceptable to the Company when the Company needs such funds
or may be on terms which are significantly adverse to the Company's current
shareholders. The unavailability of funds when needed would have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In March 1999, Space Innovations Limited ("SIL"), a then subsidiary of
Registrant, won a contract to build the satellite bus (structural chassis and
some avionics) for an Australian domestic spacecraft project, FedSat. SIL was to
deliver the bus to the Cooperative Research Center for Satellite Systems
("CRCSS") in early 2000, and FedSat was intended to be launched as a secondary
or "piggyback" satellite on a National Space Development Agency of Japan
("NASDA") H-IIA rocket in November 2000. In connection with the CRCSS agreement,
SIL was required to provide a performance bond and, as SIL's parent corporation,
Registrant obtained a performance bond from Technical & General Guarantee
Company Limited, an English company ("T&G"). In conjunction with that guarantee,
Registrant was required to enter into a Deed of Counter Indemnity with T&G
providing for the indemnification of T&G against any losses, costs, damages,
expenses and demands arising out of SIL's actual and contingent liability under
the performance bond.
On December 17, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors entered into a
Mutual Release and Rescission of Agreement ("Release Agreement") to rescind the
original acquisition of SIL, effective October 1, 1998. SIL has since filed for
bankruptcy under the laws of England. On or about September 5, 2000, Registrant
received a demand from T&G under the Deed of Counter Indemnity for $300,000
Australian Dollars (approximately $162,600 United States Dollars) based on SIL's
alleged failure to perform under the contract. Registrant is in the process of
investigating the claim(s) made against the performance bond upon which this
demand is being made. In the event Registrant is required to indemnify T&G on
the demand, it is Registrant's intention to pursue indemnification against SIL
to the extent allowed by the bankruptcy laws of England.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
Pursuant to its employment agreement with its President, Stanley W.
Dubyn, the Company granted Mr. Dubyn options to purchase a total of 400,000
shares of its $0.0001 par value common stock with an exercise price equal to the
fair market value (five-day trading average) of its common stock on the grant
date, March 1, 2000. Mr. Dubyn's options were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act").
On August 1, 2000, the Company granted options to purchase 250,000
shares of its $.0001 par value common stock to Charles H. Lloyd, its Chief
Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Space Systems, Inc.
("ISS"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. The options were issued pursuant
to the terms of Mr. Lloyd's employment agreement with ISS, and will vest three
months from the grant date.
All options issued to Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Dubyn were issued pursuant to
the Company's Stock Option Plan of 1999 (the "Plan"), for which the Company
filed a registration statement on Form S-8 on October 5, 2000. In addition, the
Company has granted options to the following employees pursuant to the Plan:

(1) On January 10, 2000, Mr. Janicik entered into an employment agreement
with the Company whereby he was to receive an option to purchase up to
25,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of
$1.0312. Mr. Janicik's options vest at a rate of 5,000 options every
three months, beginning on the three-month anniversary date of the date
of grant. However, Mr. Janicik's options were inadvertently left
unissued until April 24, 2000, at which time an option was issued for
only 5,000 shares; a second option was issued for 5,000 shares on July
24, 2000. The Company and Mr. Janicik entered into an addendum to his
employment agreement on November 6, 2000 in order to correct the
mistake, and the options were re-issued as of January 10, 2000 on the
terms described above. The options previously issued to Mr. Janicik
were submitted to the Company for cancellation.
(2) On May 3, 2000 and August 3, 2000, the Company issued options to
certain of its employees pursuant to a policy whereby employees will
receive a total of five installments of options tp be granted every
three months of employment. All options issued pursuant to this policy
are issued at the five-day average closing price of the Company's
common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on date of grant.
All options issued pursuant to this policy will vest on the third-month
anniversary of the date of grant.
