FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Company
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's
results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1997
Revenues. Total revenues decreased $231,923 to $172,349 in the three months
ending September, 1998 from $404,272 in the three months ending September,
1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of sales of
integration services and data collection equipment due to the increased
emphasis in the completion of FIS 2.0. This decrease was partially offset by an
increase in the hardware and software maintenance and support revenue.
Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues decreased $64,828 to $109,709 in the
three months ending September, 1998 from $174,537 in the three months ending
September, 1997. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in data
collection equipment costs and integrated software costs as a result of lower
sales levels.
The cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 64% and 43% in the
three months ending September, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Accordingly, the
gross margin was 36% and 57% in the three months ending September, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
Research and Development. Research and development costs decreased $61,399 to
$11,289 in the three months ending September, 1998 from $72,688 in the three
months ending September, 1997. The Company continued to focus on the completion
of Version 2.0 of the FIS System. Research and development costs represented
approximately 7% and 18% of total revenues for the three months ending
September, 1998 and 1987, respectively. It is expected that the Manufacturing
Execution Management (MEM) module of Version 2.0 of the FIS System will be
available for general release during the fourth quarter of 1998. The MEM module
is the fourth and final module scheduled to complete the FIS 2.0 system.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses, including
interest expense, increased $36,767 to $300,517 in the three months ending
September, 1998 from $263,750 in the three months ending September, 1997. This
increase was partially attributable to the addition of an administrative
assistant to the President, a Vice President of Operations and a systems
engineer. The elimination of the in-house counsel and the reduction of salaries
of the principals as well as a reduction in rent expense associated with the
closing of the Raleigh, North Carolina office in the fourth quarter of 1997,
helped offset these increases. An increase in the professional fees accounted
for the major increase in general and administrative expenses. General and
administrative expenses, including interest expense, represented approximately
174% and 65% of total revenues in the three months ending September, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $17,948 to $147,603
in the three months ending September, 1998 from $129,655 in the three months
ending September, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in marketing materials and costs associated with the Bobbin Show. This increase
was partially offset by a decrease in marketing commission due to a decrease in
sales and a reduced salary due to a change of Sales and Marketing personnel.
Sales and Marketing expenses represented approximately 86% and 32% of total
revenues in the three months ending September, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

<PAGE> 8
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1997
Revenues. Total revenues decreased $721,638 to $738,740 in the first nine
months of 1998 from $1,460,378 in the first nine months of 1997. This decrease
was primarily attributable to a decrease of sales of integration services and
data collection equipment due to the increased emphasis in the completion of
FIS 2.0. This decrease was offset in part by an increase in software Licensing
revenue and in the hardware and software maintenance and support revenue.
Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues decreased $333,842 to $367,855 in the
first nine months of 1998 from $701,697 in the first nine months of 1997. This
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in data collection equipment
costs and integrated software costs as a result of lower sales levels.
The cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 50% and 48% in the
first nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. Accordingly, the gross margin
was 50% and 52% in the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Research and Development. Research and development costs decreased $223,382 to
$54,420 in the first nine months of 1998 from $277,802 in the first nine months
of 1997. During the first nine months of 1998, the Company continued to focus
on the completion of Version 2.0 of the FIS System. Research and Development
costs represented approximately 7% and 19% of total revenues for the first nine
months of 1998 and 1997 respectively. It is expected that the Manufacturing
Execution Management (MEM) module of Version 2.0 of the FIS System will be
available for general release during the fourth quarter of 1998. The MEM module
is the fourth and final module scheduled to complete the FIS 2.0 system.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses, including
interest expense, increased $176,806 to $929,638 in the first nine months of
1998 from $752,832 in the first nine months of 1997. This increase was
partially attributable to the addition of an administrative assistant to the
President, a Vice President of Operations and a systems engineer. The
elimination of the in-house counsel and the reduction of salaries of the
principals as well as a reduction in rent expense associated with the closing
of the Raleigh, North Carolina office in the fourth quarter of 1997, helped
offset these increases. An increase in the professional fees accounted for the
major increase in general and administrative expenses. General and
administrative expenses, including interest expense, represented approximately
126% and 52% of total revenues in the first nine months of 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $86,690 to $314,767
in the first nine months of 1998 from $228,077 in the first nine months of
1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the
development of marketing materials, attendance at the International Hosiery
Exposition and Conference as an exhibitor, the development of a Web Site and an
increase in travel expenses. This increase was partially offset by a decrease
in marketing commission due to a decrease in sales. Sales and marketing
expenses represented approximately 43% and 16% of total revenues for 1998 and
1997, respectively.
Financial Condition at September 30, 1998
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $83,064 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, and were utilized mainly for working capital needs and to
fund software completion as previously discussed.
Accounts receivable decreased by $175,874 during the period, reflecting
decreased sales of integration services and data collection equipment.
The $598,415 increase in capitalized software is mainly attributable to the
continued focus on completion of Version 2.0 of the FIS System.
Page 8
<PAGE> 9
The $528,295 increase in current liabilities during the period is due to the
continued effort to complete FIS 2.0, research and development focus and cash
availability. Management believes that it will be able to service these
payables out of cash generated through operations and planned financing
transactions.
Overall, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets at
September 30, 1998 by $954,170.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since its inception the Company has primarily financed its operations through
revenues from operations, including funded research and development revenues,
and occasional short term loans from the Company's principals or their
acquaintances. The Company, however, has had a net loss every year of its
existence except 1994, in which year it had net income of $31,373; therefore,
the Company's operations have led to a growing working capital deficit and a
decrease in shareholders' equity. Accordingly, the Company has had liquidity
problems from time to time. As of September 30, 1998 the shareholders' deficit
was $560,887. As of September 30, 1998 the Company's working capital deficit
was $954,170.
In December 1995, the Company entered into a factoring arrangement that is
currently being administered as a short term borrowing arrangement
collateralized by accounts receivable, which generally permits borrowing of up
to 75% of accounts receivable. In February 1996, the Company entered into a
loan for $180,000 collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the
Company. This loan is being repaid in sixty equal monthly installments.
The Company also issued two convertible promissory notes in March 1997 in the
principal amount of approximately $190,000 to two investors, and, in March
1997, executed a promissory note to a significant vendor of the Company in the
amount of approximately $320,000 in connection with various payments owed to
this vendor.
On June 3, 1997, the Company sold 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $0.50 (Cdn.) per share for gross proceeds to the Company, after payment of a
commission to Wolverton Securities Ltd. ("Wolverton"), of approximately
$420,000. After deducting offering costs of approximately $100,000, the net
proceeds to the Company from that offering were approximately $320,000.
In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company made a strategic decision to
concentrate on completing the FIS System Version 2.0, and initiating the sales
and marketing efforts relating thereto. Accordingly, during the period this
development continues, the Company expects a reduction in revenues and an
increase in sales and marketing expenses.
On November 26, 1997, the Company consummated an initial public offering of its
common stock. In this initial public offering, the Company sold 2,500,000
shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 (Cdn) per share for for gross
proceeds to the Company, after payment of Wolverton's commission, of
approximately $1,587,000. After deducting offering costs of approximately
$368,000, the net proceeds to the Company from that offering were approximately
$1,219,000. The Company used a portion of these proceeds to repay the
promissory note to a significant vendor of the Company in the amount of
approximately $320,000 discussed above.
In addition, in connection with the consummation of the initial public
offering, one of the convertible notes issued by the Company in March 1997 in
the principal amount of $116,700 was converted into shares of Common Stock. The
other convertible note in the principal amount of $70,532 plus approximately
$5,100 in interest was repaid by the Company with a portion of the proceeds
from the initial public offering.
On April 24, 1998, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $1.00 (Cdn.) per share pursuant to the exercise by Wolverton of 100,000 of
the Warrants. The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such
Warrants were approximately $69,000.
On May 12, 1998, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of
$1.00 (Cdn.) per share pursuant to the exercise of 50,000 of the Warrants. The
gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such Warrants were $35,000.

<PAGE> 10
On May 19, 1998, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of
$1.00 (Cdn.) per share pursuant to the exercise of 50,000 of the Warrants. The
gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such Warrants were $34,000.
On June 12, 1998, the Company completed a private placement of five-year
convertible notes in the amount of $500,000 (or C$715,000, using an exchange
rate of US$1.00 - C$1.43) and non-transferable share purchase warrants
entitling the holders to purchase an aggregate of 541,000 common shares of the
Company. The notes, which bear interest at the rate of 12% per year, may be
converted into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of US$.923
(or C$1.32) during the first year and during each of the remaining four years
of the term of the notes, a conversion price that is higher than the conversion
price in the previous year by US$0.175 (or C$0.25) per share.
On July 21, 1998, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $1.00 (Cdn.) per share pursuant to the exercise of 50,000 of the Warrants.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such Warrants were
approximately $32,900.
On August 19, 1998, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $1.00 (Cdn.) per share pursuant to the exercise of 50,000 of the Warrants.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such Warrants were
approximately $32,900.
On August 21, 1998, the Company issued 30,000 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $1.00 (Cdn.) per share pursuant to the exercise of 30,000 of the Warrants.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such Warrants were
approximately $19,200.
On September 15, 1998, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $1.00 (Cdn.) per share pursuant to the exercise of 30,000 of the
Warrants. The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such Warrants
were approximately $32,700.
The Company expects that the proceeds from its capital raising activities along
with revenues generated from operations will be adequate to meet the Company's
projected working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next 3
months, which is the period the Company believes will be required to implement
and achieve its business objectives. Management intends, however, to closely
follow the Company's progress and to reduce expenses if the Company's
strategies do not result in sufficient revenues within a reasonable period. Any
such reduction will involve scaling back, delaying or postponing those
development activities that are not essential to the Company achieving its
stated objectives. In any event, the working capital deficit will continue to
grow unless and until revenues increase sufficiently to meet expenditure
levels.
The Year 2000
It is possible that the Company's currently installed computer systems,
software products or other business systems, or those of the Company's vendors,
working either alone or in conjunction with other software or systems, will not
accept input of, store, manipulate or output dates in the years 1999, 2000 or
thereafter without error or interruption (commonly know as the "Year 2000"
problem). The Company has conducted a review of its business systems, including
its computer systems, and is querying its vendors as to their progress in
identifying and addressing problems that their computer systems may face in
correctly processing date information as the year 2000 approaches and is
reached. However, there can not be assurance that the Company will identify all
such Year 2000 problems in its computer systems or those of its vendors or
resellers in advance of there occurrence or that the Company will be able to
successfully remedy any problems that are discovered. The expenses of the
Company's efforts to identify and address such problem, or the expenses or
liabilities to which the Company may become subject as a result of such
problems, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. Maintenance or modification
costs will be expensed as incurred, while the costs of any new software will be
capitalized over the software's useful life.
