Risk Factors
Because we have a short operating history, you will have limited
historical information about us on which to base your investment decision
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our business plan was developed in January 1998 and we began
acquiring credit union customers, other than our original pilot customers,
in April 1998. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon
which you may evaluate us. We face the risks and uncertainties faced by
early-stage companies. Our short operating history makes it difficult to
predict our future financial results.
Because we have not yet been profitable, we may not have sufficient
resources to execute our business plan
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been a profitable
business. We may never achieve profitable operations. Even if we do
become profitable, we may not be able to continue to be profitable.
Combined with LanXtra, we reported a total loss of $2,006,446 for the year
ended December 31, 1998, comprised of a $35,944 net loss for cavion.com
and a net loss of $1,970,502 for LanXtra. We reported additional combined
losses of $2,071,975 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. We expect to
continue to report losses through most of the year 2000. Today, we
receive our revenue from the license and sale of products and services to
our credit union customers. Our revenue has grown since the start of our
business but it may not continue to grow or even continue at its current
level. Because some of our expenses are fixed, including equipment and
real estate leases, if our revenue does not increase, we may not be able
to compensate by reducing our expenses as much or as quickly as we need to
do. It is possible that our operating losses will continue at present
levels or even increase in the future. Our business, our financial
condition and the results of our operations will be materially and
adversely affected if we can't quickly adjust our operating expense levels
to at least match our revenue levels.
The opinion of our independent public accountants with respect to our
audited financial statements expresses substantial doubt regarding our
ability to continue as a going concern and the effects, if any, on the
financial statements of the outcome of such uncertainty. We plan to seek
additional bank financing after the closing of this offering. If we are
successful in obtaining such financing, we hope that the proceeds of the
offering, along with improved cash flow and results of operations, will
permit our independent accounting firm to delete the going concern
qualification from its report on our 1999 year end audited financial
statements. Because there are a number of factors that go into an
auditor's decision whether to include a going concern paragraph, many of
which are outside our control, we are not sure that it will be deleted
from the report on our 1999 financial statements.
If we are unable to attract more credit union customers, we may not be
able to execute our business plan
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
As of the date of this prospectus, substantially all our revenue has
been derived from network access and connectivity fees and installation
service fees from our credit union customers. We expect that reliance to
continue for at least the next 18 months, after which we expect our
affinity program to generate increasing revenue. Our revenue depends on
information-technology spending by credit unions and we can't be sure that
this type of spending will increase as we expect or even continue at
today's levels. We do expect the credit union industry to grow over the
next several years, partially because credit unions have recently been
allowed to expand their membership beyond a single employee group. We
think that, as the credit union industry grows, its demand for information
technology products will also grow. Still, the demand for our products
and services is unpredictable. Our network currently hosts 60 credit
unions, two credit union leagues, one of which provides check clearing
services to credit unions, one corporate credit union, which provides
liquidity services to credit unions, and one credit union vendor that is a
provider of website design, development and hosting services to credit
unions. Our future growth depends on our ability to provide more services
and different kinds of services to our existing and new customers. We
cannot be certain that we will be able to do that. There are
approximately 12,600 credit unions in the United States with combined
assets of more than $375 billion and approximately 73 million members.
Our success in the near term will depend on our ability to capture a
significant percentage of the credit union services market and to expand
the services we provide to our existing credit union customers. We cannot
assure you we will be able to do so.
Because we have not established a backup system, there may be temporary
interruptions in our service
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of
our computer and communications hardware systems. Any system
interruptions that cause our services to be unavailable to our credit
union customers would greatly reduce the attractiveness of our services
and would materially damage our business, financial condition, and
operating results. Substantially all of our computer and communications
hardware is located at a single leased facility in Denver, Colorado, which
has finite backup protection. Our systems and operations are vulnerable
to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications
failure, break-ins, earthquake and similar events. We presently do not
have redundant, or backup, systems in separate geographic locations for
our network, nor do we have a formal disaster recovery plan. We do store
copies of critical data from our internal systems and customers' systems,
including the source code of our proprietary software, at a second
location. We carry business interruption insurance which will compensate
us for up to twelve months of actual losses of business income due to
physical loss of or damage to property at our principal facility in
Denver. This insurance is limited and may not compensate us for all of
our losses. The design of our network architecture includes some
redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities, but these capabilities will
not be available until we have installed and connected at least one other
network server farm with capacity similar to our Denver facility. We
can't predict today when that second installation will be completed.
Because of the importance to us of David Selina's experience and contacts
in the credit union industry, and Jeff Marshall's technical expertise, our
success may be dependent on our ability to retain these individuals
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe that the credit union and related management experience of
David J. Selina, our president, chief executive officer and chief
operating officer, is important to our success. We also believe that the
software development ability of Jeff Marshall, vice president of Software
Development, is important to our success. While we recently lost the
services of our former chief executive officer, Craig Lassen, who resigned
in March of 1999 to pursue other interests, we believe that the current
management team is highly qualified to carry out our business expansion
plans. We recently entered into an agreement with Mr. Lassen under which
he will provide up to 360 hours of consulting services relating to our
business generally, including telecommunications matters. As of the date
of this prospectus, we have not utilized a significant amount of the hours
available to us. We have employment contracts with David Selina, Jeff
Marshall and another key executive, Marshall Aster, our chief financial
officer. We have purchased $1,000,000 of key man insurance on each of
David Selina and Jeff Marshall. We have relied on our direct sales force
for sales of our products and services.
Our success may be dependent on our ability to attract and retain
personnel qualified in Internet and network services
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
We will need to hire more people in sales, customer service and other
areas in 1999 and beyond if we grow as we expect to. Competition for
qualified people in the Internet services and software industry,
particularly in the network services field, is intense. We compete with
bigger and better financed software and Internet services companies for
these employees. Our future success may depend on whether we can
attract, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel. We can't assure
you that we will be able to do so.
Because our business involves the transmission of confidential financial
information over the Internet, we could be liable if our electronic
security measures should fail
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
We represent to our credit union customers that our Internet-based
network and transactional banking software are secured and protected by
multiple security measures, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, with
electronic monitoring and activity tracking, and industry-standard
software encryption. We believe that these features are an important
factor in convincing credit unions to buy our products and services, and
encouraging their members to use our Internet network systems for their
personal and sometimes sensitive financial transactions. Although we
believe our systems will prevent unauthorized access to credit union and
personal information, it is impossible to eliminate all risk of
unauthorized access. Despite all the measures we have taken, our products
may be vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, viruses, unknown
software defects and similar problems. If someone does circumvent our
security measures, that person could copy or review our trade secrets
and/or the private information of our credit union customers and their
members. Intruders, or "hackers", could also disrupt our systems and
cause interruptions to our operations. Breaches of our network could
cause us to lose customers, and could make us liable for substantial
damages to our credit union customers or their members.
Because we have only recently begun to use service contracts that limit
our liability to our customers and their members, our earlier customers
who did not enter into service contracts with us will not be contractually
limited in any damages they may seek from us
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Historically, we have not used comprehensive service contracts with
our credit union customers, but have relied on our customers' written
acceptance of our written proposal. As a result, many of the terms of our
agreements with early customers are implied from generally accepted
business practices and customs rather than being spelled out in a formal
document. We are currently using a standard service contract with our
customers, including provisions limiting our liability to our customers
and their members. However, we can't be sure that these contractual
limitations of liability would actually protect us from liability for
damages.
After this offering existing shareholders will hold a majority of our
stock, which will limit the ability of new investors to influence our
corporate affairs
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon completion of the offering, on a fully-diluted basis, our
directors, executive officers and holders of 5% or more of our outstanding
Class A common stock will beneficially own approximately 54.4% of the
outstanding Class A common stock. If some or all of these shareholders
act together, they might be able to elect our directors or even determine
the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, no matter
how other shareholders vote. This concentration of ownership may have the
effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of cavion.com.
Third parties we deal with may not be Y2K compliant
- ---------------------------------------------------
While we believe that our products and services comply with Year 2000
requirements, there is a risk that Y2K issues will adversely affect third-
party network or application software that is integrated with our
products. There are, however, other third-party network or application
software programs available to us if the ones we currently use are not Y2K
compliant. There are also similar risks of failure from the
telecommunications networks, the electric power grid, and the other
systems on which the operation of our products and the delivery of our
services depend. The disruption of these broader services would have an
adverse effect on our ability to provide our products and services to our
credit union customers, and could then have a material adverse effect on
our business, our financial condition and our results of operations.
Shares that can be sold in the future by our current shareholders could
lower our stock price
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
If our shareholders sell large amounts of our common stock in the
public market following the offering, then the market price of our common
stock could fall. Restrictions under the securities laws and lock-up
agreements limit the number of shares of common stock which can be sold in
the public market. Affiliates of cavion.com have agreed not to sell their
shares for a period of twelve months after this offering without the prior
written consent of Neidiger, Tucker, Bruner, Inc. In addition, all of the
other shareholders who own shares, including the holders of the 700,000
shares of Series A preferred stock that will automatically convert into
the same number of shares of common stock when this offering closes, have
agreed not to sell their shares for nine months after the effective date
of this offering. NTB may, in its sole discretion, release some or all of
the shares subject to the lock-up agreements before their scheduled
expiration. Such an early release could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock. NTB has no present intention to release any shares
early. We also plan to file a registration statement to register all
shares of common stock under our Equity Incentive Plan. After that
registration statement is effective, shares issued upon exercise of stock
options will be eligible for resale in the public market without
restriction. In addition, we have also agreed to register, as soon as
possible after this offering closes, the 700,000 shares of common stock
into which the preferred stock will have been automatically converted, but
the holders of those shares will still be subject to the nine month lock-
up agreement period.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. We use words
such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "future", "may", "will",
"should", "plan", "projected", "intend" and similar expressions to
identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our
beliefs and the assumptions we made using information currently available
to us. Because these statements reflect our current views concerning
future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of the
factors that may cause these differences include those discussed in the
risk factors in this prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this
prospectus.
Use of Proceeds
We estimate the net proceeds from the offering to be approximately
$6.6 million, or $7.6 million if the underwriters exercise their over-
allotment option in full, assuming an initial public offering price of
$6.75 per share and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and
commissions and expenses of the offering.
We expect to use the net proceeds from the offering as follows:

========== ======
</TABLE>
We raised $300,000 through a private offering of notes and warrants
to purchase common stock which ended on August 31, 1999. We plan to seek
additional bank financing after the closing of this offering. If we are
successful in obtaining such financing, we currently expect that our cash
needs will be satisfied for at least the next two years. If these funds
are not sufficient to satisfy our needs we might need to slow our
expansion and reduce our sales and marketing budget.
Except for the payment of the liabilities we assumed in connection
with the purchase of LanXtra's assets, we have complete discretion over
how to use a significant portion of the net proceeds of this offering. We
cannot assure investors that our use of the net proceeds will not
otherwise vary substantially due to unforeseen factors. Also, we cannot
state with certainty the particular uses for the additional net proceeds
should the over-allotment option be exercised.
Net proceeds not immediately required for the purposes described
above will be principally invested in United States government securities,
A-1 rated commercial paper with maturities of 30 days or less, short-term
certificates of deposit, money market funds or other short-term interest-
bearing investments with qualifying banks or institutions.
Dividends
We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We
do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock. Holders of
shares of Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive 5% per year
cumulative preferred dividends payable quarterly in cash or in shares of
Class A common stock at the discretion of our board of directors.
Dividends for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 of $3,858 and the
second quarter ended June 30, 1999 of $24,597 were paid in cash.
Dividends due for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999 will be paid
in cash. All preferred stock will be converted into common stock upon the
closing of this offering. Holders of the preferred stock will be entitled
to receive their dividends until the date of conversion. Should our board
of directors decide to pay dividends on the preferred stock in shares of
common stock, the number of shares of our common stock to be issued upon
the closing of this offering will increase accordingly. We plan to retain
our future earnings, if any, to finance our operations and the expansion
of our business. The decision whether to pay cash dividends on our common
stock will be made by our board of directors, in their discretion, and
will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital
requirements and other factors that the board of directors considers
significant.

</TABLE>
We expect there to be 4,606,326 shares of common stock outstanding
after the offering which includes shares issuable upon the conversion of
all outstanding shares of preferred stock. In addition to the shares of
common stock to be outstanding after the offering, we may issue additional
shares of common stock under the following:
o 477,500 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options
outstanding under our Equity Incentive Plan
o An additional 272,500 shares available for issuance under our
Equity Incentive Plan.
o 28,648 shares of Class B common stock which are convertible into
the same number of shares of common stock.
o 30,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of
warrants issued in our August 1999 private placement of notes
and warrants
o 180,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of
the underwriter's over-allotment option
o 120,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of
the representative's warrant.
Options available for issuance under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan
may be granted with exercise prices as low as 50% of market value of the
common stock on the grant date. If we grant options below fair market
value it would be dilutive to investors who purchase shares at the initial
public offering price.
Dilution
As of June 30, 1999, our net tangible book value (deficit) on a pro
forma basis based upon an assumed public offering price of $6.75 per share
and giving effect to the assumed conversion of all of the outstanding
shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock upon the closing of
this offering was approximately ($1,170,165) or ($.34) per share of common
stock. "Net tangible book value (deficit)" per share represents the
amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total
liabilities, divided by pro forma the number of shares of common stock
outstanding. As of June 30, 1999, our net tangible book value, on a pro
forma basis adjusted for the sale of 1,200,000 shares offered in the
offering and the application of the net proceeds from such sale of
approximately $6.6 million, based on an assumed initial public offering
price of $6.75 per share and after deducting the underwriting discounts
and commissions and other estimated offering expenses, would have been
approximately $1.17 per share. This represents an immediate increase of
$1.51 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of
$5.58 or 82% per share to you. The following tables do not include the
exercise of warrants or the stock issuable on exercise of the warrants
issued in connection with our August 1999 private placement of notes and
warrants. None of the warrants have been exercised as of the date of this
prospectus. The following table illustrates the per share dilution:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read together with the financial statements and
related notes included in another part of this prospectus. Those
financial statements and notes should be considered to be incorporated
into this section. This discussion contains forward looking statements
that involve risk and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of factors that include, but are not limited to, the risk factors
listed elsewhere in this prospectus.
We completed our acquisition of the assets of LanXtra on February 1,
1999 as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Prior to the
acquisition, we did not conduct any operations except financing activities
and other preparations for the acquisition. The following discussion
relates to LanXtra's historical results of operations since January 1,
1998 (the date on which LanXtra commenced the business we acquired), and
to our plan of operation following this offering.
Since January 1, 1998, we have been engaged in building a suite of
network products and services for the credit union industry that includes:
o a secure network that enables access to our credit union
customers' products and services via the Internet or an intranet
o secure Internet financial products, including Internet banking
software
o secure Internet access services for credit unions
o secure Internet automated loan application and approval
We are in the start-up phase of our operations and generated a net
loss of $2,006,446 for the year ended December 31, 1998, comprised of a
$35,944 net loss for Cavion and a net loss of $1,970,502 for LanXtra. We
expect to incur substantial monthly operating losses through most of the
year 2000.
Since January 1, 1998, our revenue has been derived from recurring
monthly connectivity fees, installation services and monthly recurring
revenue associated with our secure Internet access services and secure
Internet financial products. As of the date of this prospectus, 60 credit
unions, two credit union leagues, one of which provides check clearing
services to credit unions, one corporate credit union, which provides
liquidity services to credit unions, and one credit union vendor that is a
provider of website design development and hosting services to credit
unions, have subscribed to our products and services. Approximately half
of these customers are located in Colorado, and the other half are located
in 15 other states.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have financed the development
of our products and services with:
o capital provided by the sale of LanXtra's unrelated business
o a bank loan
o loans from shareholders and employees of LanXtra
o two private placements of promissory notes and related warrants
o a private placement of preferred stock
Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The following discussion relates to LanXtra's operations for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. While LanXtra generated nominal
revenue and incurred general and administrative and research and
development costs prior to commencement of the 1998 fiscal year,
management believes that a comparison of the 1998 operations to those
operations conducted in fiscal year 1997 would provide little benefit
since our current business was launched in January 1998, with 1997
activity limited to general and corporate activities and research and
development activities, and LanXtra's prior business was sold.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, we generated $215,022
in revenue. This revenue was derived from a variety of Internet/intranet
activities, including secure Internet access for credit unions utilizing
dedicated lines, secure credit union network services, secure Internet
financial products such as Internet banking software, sales of related
equipment, and installation fees charged for these services. Cost of
sales during this period were $222,419, or 103% of revenue. These costs
include Internet access fees, telephone company charges for frame relay
lines, equipment purchased for resale, service personnel and occupancy
costs, hardware repair and maintenance expenses. Our margins will
significantly improve in the future as sales discounts for installations
diminish for our customers.
General and administrative expenses for the period were $869,293 or
404% of revenue. Of these expenses, $566,380 was attributable to salaries
and wages, 263% of gross revenue. Additionally, we incurred $248,599 in
research and development costs during this period, which represented a
percentage of programmers' and engineers' salaries applicable to the
amount of time they devoted to development activities. We anticipate that
our general and administrative expenses will increase as we hire
additional employees to handle the expected growth of our business.
In May 1998, LanXtra issued Class B common stock which the holders
can require cavion.com to repurchase at $7.00 per share during a 60-day
exercise period beginning on the date that is 30 days after the 100 Credit
Union Date. For financial accounting purposes, the cost of this "putable"
common stock from its issuance price to its redemption value is treated as
interest expense. During 1998, such interest expense totaled $612,200.
After the closing of this offering, we expect to offer the LanXtra
shareholders the option to redeem their Class B shares at $7.00 per share,
or to convert each Class B share into one share of our Class A common
stock.
Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
comparisons to six months ended June 30, 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
The following discussion relates to our operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. In 1998, LanXtra operated the business since
acquired by us, and LanXtra's operations during the six months ended June
30, 1998 were substantially curtailed due to an ongoing liquidity
shortage.
During the period ended June 30, 1999, we recognized $205,333
($243,183 when combined with LanXtra) in revenue, as compared to $92,921
during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Our revenue was derived from a
variety of Internet/intranet activities, including secure Internet access
for credit unions utilizing dedicated lines, secure credit union network
services, secure Internet financial products such as Internet banking
software, sales of related equipment, and installation fees charged for
these services. The increase in revenue was primarily due to additional
credit union customers, and increases in our marketing activity made
possible by the funds provided by recent offerings of equity and issuances
of debt. Cost of sales during the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$133,617 ($165,511 combined), or 65%, compared to $84,397, or 91%, for the
six months ended June 30, 1998. These costs include Internet access fees,
telephone company charges for frame relay lines, equipment purchased for
resale, service personnel and occupancy costs, hardware repair and
maintenance expenses. The increase is primarily due to the increase in
the number of customers, and the decrease as a percentage of sales is due
to economies of scale in delivering our services to an increasing
installed customer base.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1999 were $1,063,079 ($1,244,828 combined) or 518% of revenue, compared to
$348,959 or 376% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Of
these 1999 expenses, $452,195 was attributable to salaries and wages, 220%
of gross revenue. Additionally, we incurred $162,089 ($193,669 combined)
in research and development costs during the six months ended June 30,
1999, which represented a percentage of programmers' and engineers'
salaries applicable to the amount of time they devoted to development
activities. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, we incurred
$120,177 of research and development costs.
We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will
continue to increase as we hire additional employees to handle the
expected growth of our business. As we expand our operations nationwide,
our depreciation expense will increase because we will be purchasing
additional equipment and infrastructure. After this offering is funded,
our revolving line of credit, notes payable to former shareholders of
LanXtra, back pay to former employees and equipment purchases will be paid
off and, because of that, interest expense will be reduced. As compared
to the six months ended June 30, 1998, where interest expense was
$433,573, our interest expense was $288,200, combined, for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. We were also required to pay dividends on our Series
A preferred stock, which totaled $28,455 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. These dividends were paid in cash. The board of directors has the
discretion to pay future dividends in either cash or stock.
We expect to invest at least an additional $300,000 in research and
development during 1999. We have just completed developing software for
an Internet-enabled automated loan application and approval system. We
are in the early stages of designing stored value or "smart card"
capabilities for our network. We expect in the near future to begin
development of two or more additional interfaces for credit union host
data processing systems not yet supported by our network as well as an
additional Internet bill pay vendor interface. We are continuously
evaluating possible enhancements to the security and functionality of our
existing products and services. In addition, we expect to incur
development costs in launching our affinity program, through which we plan
to offer products and services to credit union members via our credit
unions' websites. We expect our product development focus to evolve
continuously in the future based on guidance from our customers.
The transaction with LanXtra resulted in approximately $4,763,000 of
intangible assets, primarily technology, customer lists and goodwill.
These intangible assets will be amortized over five years. The purchase
price allocation is subject to adjustment based on the final determination
of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed, which could take
as long as one year from February 1, 1999. Because the business now
operated by cavion.com has never been profitable, and due to the other
risks and uncertainties discussed in this prospectus, it is reasonably
possible that an analysis of these long-lived assets in future periods
could result in a conclusion that they are impaired, and the amount of the
impairment could be substantial.
Liquidity and capital resources
- -------------------------------
As of the date of this prospectus, we have funded our cash
requirements primarily through the sale of equity, debt, cash flow from
operations and the proceeds from the sale of LanXtra's prior business. On
June 30, 1999, cavion.com had $458,881 in cash, current assets of
$926,262, and current liabilities of $1,952,344. We raised $300,000 in a
private offering of 14% notes and warrants to purchase common stock which
ended on August 31, 1999. The effective interest rate of the notes is 36%
because of the warrants and the expense of the offering. Each $50,000
note entitles the purchaser to a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of
common stock. The notes are due on the earlier to occur of the closing of
this offering or one year from the date of note issuance. The warrants
are exercisable for a period of five years beginning on the earlier to
occur of the closing of this offering or one year from the date of their
issuance. The warrants are exercisable at the price per share of the
shares of common stock offered in this offering, or, if this offering does
not close within one year from the date of the issuance of the warrant, at
$6.00 per share.
We will receive payments under an agreement with MoneyLine America,
LLC to provide on-line mortgage lending services for our credit unions and
their members through our network. This agreement calls for minimum
annual payments to us of $300,000 in the first year, beginning in
September 1999, escalating to $1,000,000 in years six through ten,
provided we have at least 1,500 credit unions, or 12% of the U.S. credit
unions on our network by the end of year three. Fifty percent of MoneyLine
America is owned by Boutine Capital, LLC, a principal shareholder of
cavion.com.
We recently entered into a five-year agreement with Convergent
Communications Services, Inc. under which Convergent will establish,
maintain and support network connectivity between our network and our
customers, including providing equipment, maintenance and related services
for the network. We will pay Convergent a monthly service fee for these
services, beginning at approximately $28,000 per month and increasing as
new credit unions are added to the network. The portion of this fee relating
to each credit union telecommunications circuit will be passed through to
the customer. Convergent purchased from us on October 22, 1999, the
effective date of the agreement, our network equipment for $286,000.
We expect to incur substantial costs in connection with expanding our
telecommunications infrastructure, establishing a sales presence in key
strategic markets, and developing new products. We also expect to incur
increased marketing, costs and general and administrative expenses in
connection with the growth of our secure network for the credit union
industry. We plan to seek additional bank financing after the closing of
this offering. If we are successful in obtaining such financing, we expect
our cash needs will be satisfied for at least the next two years. We hope
that the proceeds of this offering, along with improved cash flow and
results from operations, will permit our independent accounting firm to
delete the going concern paragraph, which expresses substantial doubt
regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, from its report on
our 1999 year end audited financial statements. Because there are a
number of factors that go into an auditor's decision whether to include a
going concern paragraph, many of which are outside our control, we are not
sure that it will be deleted from the report of our 1999 financial
statements.
Our June 30, 1999 balance sheet shows approximately $2.6 million in
liabilities and approximately $3.2 million of stockholders' equity.
Approximately $1.2 million of our liabilities represent obligations to
shareholders, as described in the following section. As described in Use
of Proceeds, $1.1 million of our debt must be repaid upon the completion
of this offering.
SHAREHOLDER OBLIGATIONS. Prior to our acquisition of LanXtra's
assets, we agreed to provide bridge funding to LanXtra for its business
operations pending the raising of equity financing. In order to provide
the bridge funding, we raised $370,000 in 1998 through the issuance of 15%
secured notes due on October 19, 2000, along with warrants to purchase
2,400 shares of our Class A common stock for every $20,000 in
subscriptions at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The notes are
secured by substantially all of our assets, now owned or acquired after
October 19, 1998, including, cash, equipment, fixtures, general
intangibles, and all products and proceeds of the foregoing collateral,
accounts receivable, inventory, work in process and service contracts
receivables. The October 20, 1998 security agreement contains a covenant
which prevents us from incurring any other liens on our assets. We raised
an additional $100,000 through this offering in 1999. The warrants were
originally exercisable only after payment of the notes. However, we
subsequently agreed to permit early exercise, and all of the warrants had
been exercised for 56,400 shares, as of February 1999.
In connection with our acquisition of LanXtra's assets, we assumed
approximately $1.8 million in existing liabilities of LanXtra, not
including the bridge funding described in the preceding paragraph.
Approximately $1.1 million of these amounts will become payable 15 days
after the closing of this offering. These obligations are described
below. We expect to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to pay
these obligations.
In August 1996, LanXtra had obtained a $600,000 line of credit from
US Bank, Denver, Colorado in connection with its previous business.
LanXtra shareholders British Far East Holdings, Ltd., William M.B. Berger
Living Trust, Martin Cooper, and Fairway Realty Associates, provided cash
collateral for the loan. In May 1998, this line of credit was extended to
January 31, 1999. At the February 1, 1999 closing of the Asset Purchase
Agreement between us and LanXtra, we effectively assumed the loan by
entering into a loan agreement with US Bank on the same terms as the loan
from US Bank to LanXtra, with a maturity date of December 31, 1999, using
the proceeds of our loan to pay off the US Bank loan to LanXtra. The
LanXtra shareholders who provided cash collateral for the US Bank loan
agreed, however, to keep their collateral in place until the completion of
this offering. All amounts available under this line of credit have been
utilized. Interest accrues on all outstanding balances at the rate of
1.5% over the reference rate, as established by US Bank, from time to
time. The reference rate closely tracks the prevailing prime rate.
On May 28, 1998, LanXtra borrowed $260,000 from three of its
shareholders and three of our employees - David J. Selina, Jeff Marshall
and Randal Burtis - for working capital purposes. This transaction is
more fully described in the section of this prospectus entitled "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions." In the aggregate, we owe these
shareholders, directors and managers $260,000 in principal and $59,480 in
interest. However, an agreement has been reached to defer payment of
these amounts, without the accrual of further interest, until the
completion of this offering. We agreed to assume LanXtra's obligations
with respect to the put agreements by issuing to LanXtra at the closing of
the Asset Purchase Agreement 28,648 shares of our Class B common stock,
which are subject to economically equivalent put provisions. By its
terms, the put feature of our Class B common stock becomes exercisable 30
days after the date when we have 100 credit union industry customers on
our network, the 100 Credit Union Date. We had agreed with the former
LanXtra shareholders who have rights to the Class B stock that their put
rights will mature upon completion of this offering. To implement that
agreement, after completion of this offering we expect to offer these
shareholders the option to redeem their Class B shares at $7.00 per share,
or to convert each Class B share into one share of our Class A common
stock.
Between September 8 and October 15, 1997, Herman Axelrod, a former
president and director of LanXtra, and Mr. Lassen, also a former president
and director of LanXtra, made various factoring loans to LanXtra in the
amounts of $50,190 and $25,000, respectively. Such loans were secured by
an account receivable for computer network integration work LanXtra
performed for Questar Infocomm and bear interest at the rate of 3% of the
factoring loan amount for the first 30 days and 1% for each additional 10
days until the factoring loan is paid in full. Questar disputed LanXtra's
invoice and the dispute was settled in September of 1998 for a payment of
$61,780. This amount was paid against the factoring loans on September
21, 1998 as follows: $41,238 to Mr. Axelrod and $20,542 to Mr. Lassen.
Accordingly, as of February 1, 1999, LanXtra owed Mr. Axelrod $28,331 and
Mr. Lassen $13,441, and we assumed such obligations. Mr. Axelrod and Mr.
Lassen have agreed that the remaining balance of these loans will be
deferred until the completion of this offering and will not accrue
additional interest.
On July 1 and August 1, 1992, LanXtra executed promissory notes for
$25,000 in favor of Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Lassen, respectively, each bearing
interest at the rate of 2% over prime. The principal amounts of these
notes reflect $20,000 in cash loaned by each and $5,000 each of co-signer
liability on a $10,000 credit line at the Bank of Boulder that LanXtra
took out at its inception. The credit line was paid off in August 1996,
leaving an aggregate principal balance of $40,000 on the notes. We
assumed the obligation to pay Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Lassen the principal
balance of the notes together with interest as stated above. Mr. Axelrod
and Mr. Lassen have agreed that the remaining balance of these loans will
be deferred until the completion of this offering. Interest will continue
to be paid on a quarterly basis until the notes are paid in full.
We owe Convergent Communications, Inc. $78,673 for equipment purchased
in connection with a customer network upgrade performed by LanXtra in
December 1997, while Convergent was completing the purchase of LanXtra's
network integration business. Convergent has agreed that payment of this
amount will be deferred until the completion of this offering.
As to all of the obligations described above that will be deferred
until the completion of this offering, there is no current understanding
between the parties as to any repayment obligations in the event we do not
complete the offering.
In addition to the obligations described above, upon the closing of
the Asset Purchase Agreement, we assumed any potential liability under a
lawsuit threatened against LanXtra by a dissenting shareholder. Although
we believe the claim in this lawsuit does not have a substantial basis in
fact, we cannot assure you that we will not be required to make a payment
to the dissenter. We have not reserved any funds to cover payment of this
liability or of the potential tax liability if such a payment is
necessary.
INFLATION. Although our operations are influenced by general
economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material
effect on the results of our operations during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998, nor do we expect that inflation will have a material
effect on the results of our operations.
In April 1999 we completed a private placement of our Series A
preferred stock in which we raised net proceeds of approximately $1.8
million. These funds are being used primarily to fund expansion of our
credit union industry network to key markets across the United States. We
estimate the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $6.6
million, or $7.6 million if the underwriters exercise their over allotment
option in full, and we expect to use these proceeds primarily for the same
purpose.
Trends
- ------
Management expects that we will continue to operate at a loss as
additional credit unions are solicited and enter into contracts with us.
We are optimistic about our ability to add to the number of credit unions
under contract. We cannot give you any assurance, however, that actual
operating results will be as we predict today.
We plan to continue to expand our network of credit union clients.
These expansion efforts are likely to cause us to incur significant
increases in expenses, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of
revenue, as we prepare for the future growth in our credit union customer
base we anticipate today. Expenses will increase because of the need to
increase staffing in all categories, acquire additional equipment, and
provide for additional telephone connections. We believe our operating
results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors,
some of which are outside our control. Because of that, we cannot assure
you that we will achieve profitable operations even with a significant
increase in our credit union customer base.
Year 2000 disclosure
- --------------------
Many uncertainties exist within the computer hardware and software
and electronic networking industries about the changeover from the 1999 to
2000 calendar years. In 1998, we initiated a comprehensive program to
assess, plan and manage our Y2K compliance effort.
The risks posed to us by possible Y2K related problems could be
significant. Our operations rely on continuous Internet connectivity,
availability of power and communications systems, computer systems in use
by our credit union customers and their members and, in some cases,
computer systems in use by vendors to credit unions, as well as on our own
internal computer systems. Any extended damage to any of the foregoing
could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
While we are confident in the operability of our products, services, and
our own internal systems after the year 2000 date change, there is still
some risk that credit unions will encounter difficulties with one or more
of our products and services because of Y2K issues. Further, we cannot
accurately predict the effect of the Y2K problem on our business due to
our interdependence with numerous other systems.
In assessing the Y2K compliance of our products, services and
systems, we have identified the following seven distinct areas of focus:
o Products and services: We completed testing of all products and
services by May 1, 1999 and to our knowledge, these systems are
Y2K compliant.
o Business computer systems: This category includes computer
systems and applications relating to operations such as
financial reporting, human resources, marketing and sales,
product engineering and design, phone systems, and purchasing.
We have completed testing of these systems and believe them to
be Y2K compliant.
o Suppliers: We rely on approximately 12 critical suppliers,
including computer hardware and software vendors and
telecommunications providers. We have contacted our critical
suppliers to determine whether plans are in place to achieve
timely Y2K compliance. As of the date of this prospectus, none
of our suppliers have informed us of any Y2K related problems
which are expected to have an adverse effect on our operations.
o Business affiliates: M&I Data Services, formerly Travelers
Express, provides our customers' members with bill payment data.
We have received documentation from M&I stating that they are
Y2K compliant.
o Product development test equipment: This category includes
equipment and systems for testing software and hardware. All of
our product development equipment has been tested and, to our
knowledge, is Y2K compliant.
o End-user computing: We use desktop and laptop computers
throughout our operations. These computers have been tested
and, to our knowledge, are Y2K compliant.
o Physical properties and infrastructure: We have assessed the
impact of Y2K on all building systems. Included in our
assessment were fire and security systems in our facilities. To
our knowledge, these systems are Y2K compliant.
We have completed our compliance efforts for existing systems. Newly
acquired facilities and equipment will require evaluation and possibly
remediation through the end of the year, and we anticipate a need to
support credit union testing and remediation efforts through the first
quarter of 2000 or beyond. We estimate these future expenditures to be
less than $50,000.
Our most likely worst case scenario with respect to the Y2K problem
is the failure of a supplier, including an energy supplier, to be Y2K
compliant so that its supply of needed products or services to one of our
facilities is interrupted. As a result, we could be unable to service our
customers for a period of time, which could then cause us to lose
customers, revenue and profits. While we are monitoring the preparedness
plans of our utility suppliers and other critical vendors, in many cases
we have little leverage or bargaining power to ensure their Y2K readiness.
We are establishing a Y2K contingency plan to evaluate business
disruption scenarios, coordinate responses to such scenarios, and identify
and implement preemptive strategies. We have established detailed
contingency plans for critical business processes. cavion.com's critical
business processes rely on Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems and Motorola to
provide both Internet banking and ISP. Should any of these hardware
manufacturers experience an inability to supply product, this may have an
adverse effect on our business. Under normal situations cavion.com would
order hardware from Cisco Systems, Sun Microsystems and Motorola 30 days
or more after the credit union customer places their order for ISP or
Internet banking. As the turn of the century approaches, cavion.com will
order immediately on receipt of a customer order. This will ensure at
least 30 days of critical hardware and software in the supply line.
In addition, we have evaluated the impact of Y2K issues on our
customers. Based on our evaluations, we do not expect our current or
potential customers to reduce their capital expenditures budgets or to
defer the purchase of cavion.com products and services because of concern
about potential Y2K issues. The National Credit Union Association, which
insures the deposits of most credit unions in the United States, has
established detailed requirements with regard to Y2K compliance of its
member credit unions. NCUA requires its members to roll forward the
clocks on their critical systems past the year 2000 and to conduct real-
time dynamic testing prior to January 1, 2000. We are prepared to
participate in our clients' Y2K testing upon request.
We have tested all critical third party elements used in delivering
our products and services and are satisfied they are Y2K compliant. We
are, of course, reliant on infrastructure-level suppliers such as utility
companies and telecommunications carriers. We have not been able to test
the Y2K readiness of these entities nor do we have a contingency plan in
the event of a catastrophic failure of the power and/or telecommunication
infrastructure.
Our Business
cavion.com offers products and services for business to business
communications, secure Internet financial products such as on-line banking
and bill paying services, and secure Internet access and services for our
customers. We are also building and managing a secure private
communications network exclusively for the credit union industry. Our
network acts as a communication platform for the delivery of services and
information to and from credit unions and related businesses. Our products
and services utilize our proprietary software. As of the date of this
prospectus, 60 credit unions, two credit union leagues, one of which
provides check clearing services to credit unions, one corporate credit
union, which provides liquidity services to credit unions, and one credit
union vendor that is a provider of website design, development and hosting
services to credit unions, have subscribed to our products and services.
Through our affinity program, we plan to offer additional services to
credit union members via our credit unions' websites, including long
distance telephone services, new vehicle transactions, retail ISP
services, consumer products and insurance products, among others. We
market our products and services to credit unions and related entities,
such as credit union leagues, that are located in key geographic areas
across the United States which have been selected due to their high
concentration of credit unions. We intend to focus our marketing efforts
on credit unions with $5 million or more in assets, and geographic markets
with an average concentration of more than 300 credit unions.
Products and services
---------------------
We provide numerous products and services to the credit union
industry, such as:
o A secure private network that enables individual credit unions
to offer their services to their members via the Internet or an
intranet. This network also facilitates business to business
communication.
o Secure Internet financial products, such as transactional
banking services, that enable credit union members to view their
account and loan balances and to make transfers between
accounts, as well as bill paying services which allow credit
union members to pay their bills on line.
o Secure Internet access for credit unions, with multiple layers
of security features and dedicated connections designed to
satisfy credit unions' need for confidential communications and
secure transactional processing with one connection.
o Secure consumer loan application and approval product.
Our products are priced in a way that permits our credit union
customers to offer Internet banking services to their members at a flat
monthly rate.
Overview
--------
The credit union industry. A credit union is a non-profit,
cooperative financial institution, owned and controlled by the members who
use its services. Credit unions are either state or federally chartered.
The Credit Union Membership Access Act of 1998 allows credit unions to
solicit new members outside the once restricted field of membership, and
allows credit unions to offer generally the same products and services as
other financial institutions such as banks and savings and loan
institutions.
In the United States:
o there are approximately 12,600 credit unions with combined
assets of over $375 billion
o these 12,600 credit unions service approximately 73 million
members
o approximately 6,100 of these credit unions have assets of over
$5 million
o these larger credit unions service approximately 70 million
members and have combined assets of approximately $366 billion
The Internet phenomenon. The widespread adoption in recent years of
public and private electronic communications networks, including the
Internet, intranets and extranets, has impacted the manner in which
organizations communicate and conduct business. These advanced networks
provide an attractive medium for communications and commerce because of
their widespread reach, accessibility, use of open standards and ability
to permit interactions on a real-time basis. At the same time, they offer
businesses a user-friendly, low-cost way to conduct a wide variety of
commercial functions electronically. In March, 1999 Nielsen/NetRatings
estimated that the number of online computer users in the United States by
the end of March 1999 to have exceeded 95 million or nearly 40% of the
U.S. population.
In recent years, the development of the Internet, intranets and
extranets has enabled users of personal computers to access and interact
with a broad range of information sources. Financial institutions rapidly
are adopting network communications to conduct electronic banking and
provide customers with access to their account information. According to
International Data Corporation estimates of February, 1999, U.S. banks
will spend $326 million on Internet banking technology in 1999 alone, more
than double the amount spent in 1998, to accommodate the expected sharp
increases in online banking.
The Internet and credit unions. We believe financial institution
customers increasingly will demand more convenient and more interactive
access to financial information and services. Competitive pressures are
driving banks and credit unions to increase the quality and cost-
effectiveness of such services. New opportunities exist to employ
available and emerging technologies to automate and enhance a credit
union's interactions with its members.
Traditionally, credit unions have used trained service
representatives to serve as the link between their customers and the
information systems that stored and processed the customers' account
information. Reliance on people alone to perform service functions is
expensive and limits growth. Labor costs tend to grow proportionately
with increased demands for service. In addition, the time required to
hire and train service personnel limits the speed with which credit unions
can respond to customer demand or new competitive service offerings. Our
solution is to provide credit unions with network-based technologies that
enable their members to serve themselves through automated, interactive
access to financial information and services.
As technologies continue to advance for network-based solutions,
financial institutions will be able to deploy increasingly sophisticated
network applications. Given its relatively late arrival, online banking
is just now beginning to build momentum. A study conducted by Gomez
Advisors found that as of the first quarter of 1999, nearly 40% of the top
100 banks in the United States are offering online services. Online
Banking Report of January, 1998 estimates that by the end of 2000, 17.5
million households will be using online banking and/or a bill payment
application.
Despite this momentum, the market for Internet based network
financial services is new and uncertain. As of the date of this
prospectus, our products and services have been sold to credit unions
located in Colorado and fifteen other states. While we are marketing our
products and services across the country, we cannot be sure that they will
sell as well in the new markets as they have in Colorado.
Important questions remain about the use of the Internet for
financial services, such as security, reliability, ease of access, cost of
access, quality of service and costs of service. The answers to those
questions may affect the growth of Internet use in ways we can't predict
today. As a result, we also can't accurately predict the size of the
market for Internet based financial services or the rate at which the
market will grow. If it fails to grow, or grows more slowly than we
expect, or it is becomes saturated with competitors, our business,
financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely
affected.
Our strategy
------------
Our goal is to become the largest Internet/intranet provider to
credit unions. We plan to achieve that goal by implementing the following
strategies:
Focus on providing a secure industry network. As the use of the
Internet grows for the delivery of timely and confidential financial
information, security issues become critical. With technological
advances, there is an increased opportunity for electronic intruders, or
"hackers", to conduct successful attacks. The increased interconnectivity
of information networks has given hackers more opportunities to invade
many companies' information systems. We believe the trend of breaches in
security will continue.
Credit unions require a secure network environment for systems that
handle their members' financial data. We believe credit unions prefer the
reliability and security a private network can offer. Our network uses
dedicated phone lines to our credit union customers, limiting access to
the network and maintaining constant control of the information being
transmitted.
When the credit union provides its members with Internet access to
account information and financial services, the concern with security
becomes more acute. The Internet side of our network uses multiple
security safeguards - firewalls, data encryption, digital certificates and
the JAVA(R) programming language.
Firewalls act as the gate keeper between the Internet and the private
network. They are designed to allow external access to networks only from
authorized sources, and can also block data packets from specified
addresses from entering or exiting the network. Our network uses industry
standard firewall products.
Our network also uses public key encryption whenever data is
exchanged with the Internet for Internet banking and bill pay services or
for our share draft repository system. In public key encryption,
cryptographic software is used to generate an electronic "private key" and
a mathematically related "public key". The software encrypts the data
using the public key, in a way that allows the data to be recovered only
by someone with the proper private key. This technique provides a "session
key" for each user session, assuring that the information came from a
specific source and was not altered in transit. In this way, personal
information can be sent across public networks without compromising its
confidentiality.
We use digital certificates provided by an independent certificate
authority on all of our secured web servers - internet banking, secure
forms server, and share draft repository server. Digital certificates
verify the identity of the web server being used and that the owner of
that server is authorized to allow encryption. Digital certificates are
also used to create a unique session key for each connection.
As an added layer of security for the user, we use the JAVA(R)
programming language to control Internet banking and bill pay sessions.
The JAVA(R) programs, called "applets", used in these sessions run within
the user's Internet browser, and are not allowed to access the user's hard
drive without specific authorization. Because the programmer of the applet
can't read or write to memory locations in the user's computer, this
technology minimizes the opportunity to introduce destructive coding, such
as a virus, to the user's computer.
Continued development of feature-rich applications. Our products
have been designed using "thin client architecture" which includes
complete Internet capability as well as our proprietary messaging features
and industry standard security features. With thin client architecture,
the applications being run are not permanently stored on the user's
computer. Instead, the applications reside on our server. The user logs
on to our server, and can then access and run the applications remotely to
process data. After the on-line connection is terminated, the
applications are erased from the user's computer memory. This enables us
to maintain control over our proprietary software since we do not provide
permanent copies to our users, and enables us to make upgrades of our
software immediately and efficiently available without having to
physically distribute individual copies. Thin client architecture also
minimizes our credit union customers' need to constantly upgrade their
hardware in order to keep up with the technology required to store and
maintain our application software. This results in cost savings to our
credit unions and minimizes the burdens associated with administering
hardware and software upgrades. Because our network uses the JAVA(R)
programming language, which is platform independent, it allows many kinds
of systems to talk to each other and share applications. Our
transactional banking products also provide scalability, distributive and
centralized implementation, and access using Web-enabled cellular devices.
Development of new products and services. Concurrently with
expanding our Internet/intranet network, we plan to expand our product
offerings for credit unions. We recently began offering our bill paying
and automated virtual loan applications services.
We believe credit unions connected to the Internet will want to
provide their membership access to a variety of products and services to
increase membership retention and build customer loyalty. To meet this
need, we are establishing a co-branded affinity program through which we
will be a reseller of various products and services provided by third
party vendors to credit union members. Our network model allows the
addition of these products as they become available.
Our first affinity agreement was executed on August 18, 1999 with
MoneyLine America, LLC to provide on-line mortgage lending services for
our credit unions and their members through our network. MoneyLine is
the exclusive cavion.com-approved on-line mortgage lender. The agreement
calls for minimum annual payments to us of $300,000 in the first year,
beginning in September 1999, and escalating to $1,000,000 in years six
through ten, provided that we have at least 1,500 credit unions, or 12% of
U.S. credit unions, on our network by the end of the third year. In
addition, we entered into a contract with Cardinal Services Corporation, a
credit-union owned website design firm under Cardinal Services will
purchase and license for resale our Internet transactional banking, bill
pay, and kiosk enabling software at a discount which they will then offer
to their credit union customers. We refer our credit union clients and
prospects to Cardinal Services for website design. Cardinal Services will
refer its credit union clients and future prospects to us for connectivity
and secure Internet products and services.
Other products and services we plan to offer through our affinity
program include, for example, the following:
o long-distance telephone service
o new vehicle transactions
o retail ISP
o consumer products
o insurance products
o real estate transactions
o travel/rent-a-car services
o local services, such as concert and movie tickets
Each of our credit union customers will decide which products and
services to make available to their respective members. Our credit union
customers will be provided opportunities to co-brand and endorse these
offerings to their members. We can customize a variety of options for
each credit union and interactively link the credit union's website to
cavion.com's affinity sponsors and affinity websites.
Plan of operations
------------------
We target expansion of our network to do business with over 2,400
credit unions across the United States. Through this expansion our goal
is to:
o provide access to Internet/intranet services to credit unions
serving 28 million members, with combined assets of over $146
billion
o offer affinity products to our credit union customers to
generate increased revenue
o develop new products based on proprietary intellectual property
To manage new customers connected to our credit union network, we
plan to establish a number of local offices in key strategic locations in
the United States. Each local office will be located in a key strategic
market with an average concentration of more than 300 credit unions.
Local offices will be opened upon the hiring of sales agents to service
the territory.
We recently entered into an agreement with Convergent Communications
Services, Inc. to establish and maintain connectivity between our network
and our customers. When our network is completed, we expect to have
excess server capacity available at multiple data centers so that network
traffic can be rerouted between data centers when circumstances require.
We plan for all customer locations to be connected with all of our data
centers, either by point-to-point connection, by private frame relay
circuit, or by "virtual private network" technology now available from
third party vendors. This architecture is designed for redundancy and
disaster recovery, allowing us, with the cooperation of our
telecommunications provider, to pick up traffic temporarily from a
nonfunctional data center.
Our Denver data center and our local communications switch in
Colorado Springs are completed and fully operational. We have hired sales
personnel for 14 of our sales territories and recruiting efforts are
underway to the rest of our planned additional sales territories.
In order to provide our Internet based network products and services
to our customers, we must purchase a large quantity of telecommunications
services from providers of those services. Because of that, our financial
results depend greatly on the amount we pay for those services and our
efficiency in using them. Although our contract with Convergent is
nonexclusive, we expect that Convergent will provide and manage our entire
network infrastructure, contracting with underlying local providers as
necessary. Therefore, our business will be critically dependent on
Convergent's delivery and maintenance of our network connectivity.
Although the amounts we pay for telecommunications services are passed
through to our customers, if one or more of our telecommunications
providers are unable to provide the volume or level of service required,
our ability to carry out our business plan will be impaired and our
business, our financial condition and our results of operations will be
materially and adversely affected. In addition, we get most of our
revenue from recurring sales of our products and services. This revenue
cannot be earned until the telecommunications provider installs a
dedicated telecommunications circuit for our new credit union customer.
This installation can take from one to three months, or longer in some
cases, after we sign up a new customer.
Market
------
We believe that the increased usage of the Internet and the
increasing demand for networking products and services will provide an
excellent opportunity for us to grow our business. Credit unions that
move rapidly to implement a full-featured, well-conceived network have an
opportunity to enhance the value of their individual client relationships.
Nationally, approximately 12,600 credit unions serve approximately 73
million customers. We have targeted the approximately 6,100 credit unions
with more than $5 million in assets each for our marketing efforts.
Marketing strategy
------------------
Our sales team uses a face-to-face sales strategy that emphasizes:
o the features and functions of the network, such as online bill
paying, connectivity to credit union vendors, Internet access
and transactional banking
o the fact that the network is host independent
o a bandwidth pricing model not directly driven by transaction
volume
We charge the credit unions connected to our network a fixed monthly
rate based on the amount of bandwidth they anticipate using. As
transactions over the network increase and as the number of members
accessing a credit union's website increases, the credit union will need
to increase the amount of bandwidth it uses. Each incremental increase in
bandwidth involves a price increase. As of the date of this prospectus,
only one of our credit union customers has increased its bandwidth
requirement, but we anticipate other customers will do so in the future.
We intend to place a direct sales force in each of our 19 planned
sales territories and to hire individuals who are familiar with the credit
union industry, are known by the credit unions in the sales territory and
have established relationships within the industry. Sales agents will
initially contact the primary decision makers, usually the president, at
the credit unions in their territories. The sales agent's job will be to
sell the idea of a secure, private network with Internet access,
emphasizing the features offered by our network, including the security
features as well as, the ability of the credit union to reduce personnel
and administrative costs even while providing 24 hour service to its
membership.
We have implemented an automated system to measure each credit
union's usage of the network. By monitoring each credit union's connect
usage, sales agents can advise existing customers of their need to
increase bandwidth. We also have established an informal
marketing/endorsement arrangement with a credit union league in Colorado
which has provided significant marketing advantages. We plan to target
credit union associations and leagues in other markets, such as North
Carolina, where serving a league is likely to enhance our profile with
credit unions in the region. The North Carolina Credit Union League
signed with us in March 1999 to provide secure ISP services to their
management and employees.
Competition
-----------
We operate in a highly competitive environment against a number of
network application developers and providers of online banking services.
Additionally, there is continuous market pressure among market
participants to offer new and innovative products and services. Moreover,
in this field, technological and new product development proceeds rapidly
and market share can be gained and lost in very short time periods.
A number of public and private companies compete with one or more of
the individual products and services offered by cavion.com. These
competitors include Digital Insight, Symitar Systems, Inc., Database
Management Services, Virtual Financial Services, Inc., CFI and Fiserv,
Inc. Any of these companies, as well as other potential competitors,
could in the future offer a combination of products and services to credit
unions similar to the combination offered by us. Presently, we believe
all these companies have greater financial, personnel and operational
resources than we have. We think that, as the Internet transaction and
network services we sell are purchased by more of our customers, other
competitors will enter the market to compete aggressively with us,
including some larger, established companies. Competition may also
increase if there is a consolidation in the software and networking
industries, particularly if one or more of our competitors is acquired by
a larger provider of products and services to the banking industry as a
means for the larger company to penetrate the credit union market.
Customers/rate of growth
------------------------
We launched our credit union strategy in January 1998. In our first
three months of operations, we connected seven credit unions to the
network. We believe that we were the first Internet service provider in
the country to provide credit unions with secure transactional banking and
Internet service. By the end of August 1998, we were delivering secure
Internet access to 13 credit unions, including our first credit union
outside of Colorado, and one credit union league. As of the date of this
prospectus, our network includes 60 credit unions, two credit union
leagues, one corporate credit union and one credit union vendor. Thirty-
two of these customers are located in states other than Colorado.
Intellectual property and proprietary rights
--------------------------------------------
We believe that our proprietary secure communications network, which
we brought to market before most of our competitors, gives us a
significant competitive advantage in providing Internet based network
products and services to the credit union market. We rely on copyrights,
trademarks, service marks, nondisclosure agreements, confidentiality
provisions, trade secret laws and general technical and practical security
measures to protect our intellectual property.
We have applied for federal registration of the trademark and service
mark "Cavion" and have registered the service mark "CUiNET". We also
claim a service mark in the name "cavion.com," although we have not yet
applied for a federal registration of that name.
We hold no United States or foreign patents covering our technology
and we have no pending patent applications. We have copyrights in
software and marketing materials used or related to our business, although
we have not registered any of our copyrights. While we expect to evaluate
the feasibility of making patent filings, registering our copyrights and
registering additional trademarks and service marks in the future, no
assurance can be given that any of our intellectual property will be
entitled to patent, copyright or trademark protection. We treat much of
our technology as trade secrets and take what we consider to be
appropriate measures to maintain the secrecy of our technology. Our
strategy in protecting our trade secrets includes limiting access only to
key employees who have a need to know our trade secrets in order to
perform their services, and who have signed confidentiality and
nondisclosure agreements. We further prevent unauthorized access to or
disclosure of our trade secrets by way of technical blocks built into our
technology. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary software, in
which we claim both copyrights and trade secret protection, third parties
may still attempt to copy or use it, and others may develop similar
technology independently. There can be no assurance that the measures we
take to protect our intellectual property rights, or the formal
applications and registrations we may undertake in the future, will deter
unauthorized use, copying, reverse engineering or destruction of our
proprietary technology and other intellectual property, or that we will
have adequate legal redress in such cases.
We currently use security technology under license from third
parties. We believe that our products and services, including our
trademarks and other intellectual property rights, do not infringe on the
proprietary rights of third parties. It is possible, however, that third
parties will assert infringement claims against us in the future with
respect to products or services we currently offer or may offer in the
future, or with respect to technology we utilize under license from
others. Any litigation resulting from assertions of infringement, even if
the claims are false, could be time consuming and expensive to defend.
Given the limited number of our key employees, any litigation could
materially disrupt our on going efforts to develop and expand our business
and technology.
Property
--------
Our corporate headquarters are located at 7475 Dakin Street, Suite
607, Denver, Colorado 80221 in an office facility where we lease
approximately 4,600 square feet under a lease that expires on December 31,
1999. We have entered into a letter of intent to lease a 14,400 square
foot facility in Denver and plan to relocate our corporate headquarters
there in January 2000. We maintain our local communications switch in
an office facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado which we lease on a month-
to-month basis. We plan to establish sales and engineering office space
in leased facilities across the United States. As of the date
of this prospectus, we have leased nine such facilities. We have entered
into a lease in Raleigh, North Carolina for of 879 square feet expiring
February 28, 2002; a lease in Bloomington, Minnesota for 1,098 square feet
expiring March 14, 2002; a lease in San Diego, California for 1,162 square
feet expiring February 28, 2002; a lease in Sacramento, California for 1,459
square feet expiring 2004, a lease in Newark, Delaware for 1,047 square
feet, expiring May 1, 2004; a lease in Portland, Oregon for 982 square
feet expiring July 31, 2003; a lease in Livonia, Michigan
for 3,387 square feet, expiring July 31, 2004; a lease in Bradenton, Florida
for 1,100 square feet expiring December 31, 2002; and a lease in Memphis,
Tennessee for 2,956 square feet expiring in October, 2004. We are
currently considering leasing facilities in Chicago, Illinois, St. Louis,
Missouri, Dallas, Texas and Boston, Massachusetts.
We maintain our computer system in our Denver, Colorado facility. We
currently maintain an insurance policy covering this equipment for full
replacement value. We also carry general liability insurance, errors and
omissions insurance and Internet security insurance policies. This
insurance may not cover all future claims. If a large claim is
successfully asserted against us, we might not be covered by insurance, or
the claim might be covered but cause us to pay much higher insurance
premiums or a large deductible or copayment. Furthermore, regardless of
the outcome, litigation involving customers, credit union members or even
insurance companies disputing coverage could divert management's attention
and energies away from operations.
Employees
---------
We currently employ 34 full-time employees, including 6 in
development, 7 in engineering, 16 in sales, and 5 in general and
administrative, three of whom are in accounting. None of our employees
are represented by a labor union, and we have never experienced a work
stoppage. We consider our relationships with our employees to be good.
Government regulations
----------------------
We are not required to obtain a Federal Communications Commission
license as a telecommunications carrier, but may be required to comply
with FCC regulations applicable to non-dominant telecommunications
carriers, including payment of "universal service" fees on end user
revenues not derived from Internet access services. Several
telecommunications carriers are advocating that the FCC regulate the
Internet in the same manner as other telecommunications services by
imposing access fees on Internet service providers. Any such regulation
could substantially increase the cost of communicating on the Internet
thus slowing the growth of Internet use and the demand for our products
and services. Any regulation of the Internet under new interpretation of
existing laws could materially and adversely affect our business
operations results and financial conditions.
While we are not subject to the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987,
the Federal Credit Union Act of 1934, nor are we regulated by the National
Credit Union Administration or the Federal Reserve Board, we are concerned
with regulations governing financial institutions, especially credit
unions, and how those regulations will affect the market and our ability
to provide services as presently planned.
A credit union is a cooperative financial institution, owned and
controlled by the members who use its services. Credit unions are non-
profit organizations that are state or federally chartered. Credit unions
are regulated closely by the NCUA.
On August 7, 1998, the Credit Union Membership Access Act of 1998 was
signed into law. Title I of the Act permits federally chartered credit
unions to solicit credit union members from more than one occupational
group so long as each group has fewer than 3,000 members. The Act also
allows credit unions to make business loans to its members as long as the
total amount of such loans does not exceed 1.75 times the credit union's
actual net worth. This limitation does not apply to credit unions
chartered primarily to make business loans, to serve low-income members,
or as community development financial institutions. Full implementation
of the Act requires issuance of regulations by the NCUA. The Act will
potentially increase the activity of federal credit unions in the
financial marketplace as it presents new opportunities for the federal
credit unions to expand their customer base.
Legal proceedings
-----------------
At LanXtra's shareholders meeting on January 15, 1999, to consider
the sale of LanXtra's assets to us, Kirk W. Dennis, a LanXtra shareholder
holding 50,000 shares, or 17.45% of its outstanding shares at the time,
voted against the transaction. Under Colorado law, a shareholder voting
against a sale-of-assets transaction has the right to dissent from the
sale and obtain payment of the fair value of the shareholder's shares.
Fair value, in general, means the value of the shares immediately before
the effective date of the corporate action to which the dissenter objects.
We have assumed the liability, if any, of LanXtra to the dissenting
shareholder. On or about March 12, 1999, Mr. Dennis demanded payment for
the value of his 50,000 shares immediately before the effective date of
the asset sale which he asserted to be $250,000. Because we could not
reach an agreement with Mr. Dennis as to the fair value of his shares, we
filed a lawsuit against him, as we were required to do under Colorado law,
on June 1, 1999 to resolve the matter. The case is titled LANXTRA, INC.
V. KIRK W. DENNIS, Case No. 99 CV 3583 in the District Court, City and
County of Denver, Colorado. While we could be required to pay him the
fair value of his shares as determined in that proceeding, we believe that
the value paid on account of these shares under the asset purchase
agreement is greater than the amount which he could recover under Colorado
law and substantially less than the value of the shares upon closing of
this offering. Because of that, we have not reserved any funds to cover
payment of the liability. If Mr. Dennis nevertheless obtains an award of
a substantial amount as fair value, it could have a materially adverse
effect on our financial condition. Further, a payment to this dissenting
shareholder could result in the transaction in which we purchased the
business of LanXtra becoming a taxable transaction, which could expose us
to significant tax liability.
Two former employees have filed claims against us with the Denver
office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging gender
discrimination. We believe there is no factual basis for the claims and
we intend to vigorously defend them.
Company history
---------------
We were originally incorporated under the name Network Acquisitions,
Inc. in August 1998 for the purpose of acquiring the assets and business
operations of LanXtra, Inc. LanXtra was incorporated in June 1992 under
the name Sigmacom Corporation and was originally engaged in the business
of integrating computer networks and communications technologies for large
business and government clients. In 1997, LanXtra created a software
development division to develop network-based financial services software
for credit unions. In December 1997, LanXtra sold its network integration
business. Using funds received in the sale, the software development
group continued as a start-up, and began building the business we
eventually acquired in 1999. On January 27, 1998, LanXtra changed its
name from Sigmacom Corporation to Cavion Technologies, Inc., and, on
February 1, 1999, to LanXtra, Inc. The assets of LanXtra were transferred
to a newly-formed company called Zutano, LLC on July 1, 1999 and LanXtra
was dissolved on July 2, 1999.
Prior to our acquisition of substantially all of the assets and
business operations of LanXtra, including the assumption of LanXtra's
liabilities, we did not conduct any business operations except preparation
for the acquisition, including providing bridge funding to LanXtra with
funds raised through a private placement of promissory notes and related
warrants. The definitive purchase agreement between us and LanXtra was
signed on December 31, 1998, and closed on February 1, 1999. On February
1, 1999, we changed our name to Cavion Technologies, Inc. and began to
conduct some of our business under the trade name cavion.com.

business. These obligations survive termination of employment for periods
of one to three years, and in some cases longer.
Equity Incentive Plan
Our board of directors adopted the Equity Incentive Plan as of March
19, 1999. The Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights
to our designated employees, officers, directors, advisors and independent
contractors. By encouraging stock ownership, we seek to motivate such
individuals to participate in the increased value of cavion.com which
their effort, initiative, and skill have helped produce.
General. The Plan authorizes up to 750,000 shares of common stock
for issuance under the terms of the Plan. No more than 250,000 shares in
the aggregate may be granted to any individual in any three year period.
If options granted under the Plan expire or are terminated for any reason
without being exercised, or shares of restricted stock are forfeited, the
shares of common stock underlying such grant will again be available for
purposes of the Plan.
Administration of the plan. After we become a public company, the
compensation committee of the board of directors will administer and
interpret the Plan. Currently, the board of directors is acting as our
compensation committee. The compensation committee, when appointed by the
board, will consist of two or more directors, each of whom must be a "non-
employee director" as defined by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, and an "outside director" as defined by Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and related Treasury regulations. The
compensation committee has the sole authority to:
o determine the individuals to whom grants shall be made under the
Plan
o determine the type, size and terms of the grants to be made to
each such individual
o determine the time when the grants will be made and the duration
of any applicable exercise or restriction period, including the
criteria for vesting and the acceleration of vesting
o determine the total number of shares of common stock available
for grants
o deal with any other matters arising under the Plan
The board of directors, with members of the compensation committee
abstaining, has the authority to make grants under the Plan to members of
the committee and may also establish a formula by which grants will
automatically be made to members of the compensation committee. The
compensation committee has the authority to make grants to members of the
board of directors other than committee members and may also establish a
formula by which grants will automatically be made to board members.
Grants. Grants under the Plan may consist of:
o options intended to qualify as incentive stock options within
the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code
o nonqualified stock options that are not intended to so qualify
o restricted stock
o stock appreciation rights
Eligibility for participation. Grants may be made to employees,
officers, directors, advisors and independent contractors of cavion.com
and its subsidiaries, including any non-employee member of the board of
directors. As of the date of this prospectus, 477,500 options were
outstanding under the Plan.
Options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to officers and
directors who are employees. Nonqualified stock options may be granted to
employees, officers, directors, advisors and independent contractors. The
exercise price of common stock underlying an option will be determined by
the compensation committee and may be equal to, greater than, or less than
the fair market value but in no event less than 50% of fair market value;
provided that:
o the exercise price of an incentive stock option shall be equal
to or greater than the fair market value of a share of common
stock on the date such incentive stock option is granted
o the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to an
employee who owns more than 10% of the common stock must not be
less than 110% of the fair market value of the underlying shares
of common stock on the date of grant
The participant may pay the exercise price:
o in cash
o by delivering shares of common stock owned by the participant
and having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to
the exercise price of the grant
o by such other method as the compensation committee shall
approve, including payment through a broker in accordance with
procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve
Board
Options vest according to the terms and conditions determined by the
compensation committee.
The compensation committee will determine the term of each option up
to a maximum of ten years from the date of grant except that the term of
an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of
the common stock may not exceed five years from the date of grant. The
compensation committee may accelerate the exercisability of any or all
outstanding options at any time for any reason.
Restricted stock. The compensation committee will determine the
number of shares of restricted stock granted to a participant, but may not
exceed the maximum plan limit described above. Grants of restricted stock
will be conditioned on such performance requirements, vesting provisions,
transfer restrictions or other restrictions and conditions as the
compensation committee may determine in its sole discretion. The
restrictions shall remain in force during a restricted period set by the
compensation committee.
Stock appreciation rights. The compensation committee may grant a
participant the right to receive, in cash, the amount of any appreciation
in the value of our stock over the exercise price of the stock
appreciation right, which is set by the committee at the time of grant.
The compensation committee has the same discretion to determine the terms
of stock appreciation rights, including exercise price and vesting
schedule, that it has in the case of nonqualified stock options.
Termination of employment. If a participant leaves our employment,
other than because of retirement, death or disability, the participant
will forfeit any stock options or stock appreciation rights that are not
yet vested, and any restricted stock for which the restrictions are still
applicable, unless the participant remains as a non-employee director,
advisor or independent contractor.
Amendment and termination of the plan. The compensation committee
may amend or terminate the plan at any time, except that it may not make
any amendment that requires shareholder approval as provided in Rule 16b-3
or Section 162(m) without shareholder approval. The Plan will terminate
on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of its effective
date, unless terminated earlier by the compensation committee.
Acceleration of rights and options. If our board of directors or
shareholders agree to dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or
stock, any right or option granted will become immediately and fully
exercisable during the period from the date of the agreement to the date
the agreement is consummated or, if earlier, the date the right or option
is terminated in accordance with the Plan. No option or right will be
accelerated if the shareholders immediately before the contemplated
transaction will own 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all
classes of voting stock of the surviving entity (whether it is us or some
other entity) immediately after the transaction.
Section 162(m). Under Section 162(m), we may be precluded from
claiming a federal income tax deduction for total remuneration in excess
of $1.0 million paid to the chief executive officer or to any of the other
four most highly compensated officers in any one year. Total remuneration
would include the value of stock options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights granted under the Plan. An exception does exist,
however, for "performance-based compensation," including amounts received
upon the exercise of stock options as provided in a plan approved by
shareholders that meets the requirements of Section 162(m). We will ask
the shareholders to approve the Plan at the next annual or special meeting
of shareholders so that grants of options under the Plan meet the
requirements of "performance-based compensation." Awards of restricted
stock generally will not qualify as "performance-based compensation."

- -----------------

Description of Capital Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 19,970,000 shares of Class A
common stock, $.0001 par value per share; 30,000 shares of Class B common
stock, $.0001 par value per share; and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $.0001 per share.
Common stock
The Class A and Class B common stock are identical in all respects
except that the Class B common stock is subject to an option, referred to
as a put, for the holder to sell the shares to us at $7.00 per share, or
in the alternative, a parallel option, referred to as a call, for us to
buy the shares from the holder at $7.00 per share. The put is exercisable
only during a 60-day exercise period beginning on the date that is 30 days
after the 100 Credit Union Date. The call is exercisable at any time
after issuance of the Class B common stock and prior to the end of the
exercise period. If at the end of the puts' exercise period neither the
put nor the call has been exercised for any shares of Class B common
stock, then each share of Class B common stock will automatically convert
into one share of Class A common stock, effective on the day after the
last day of the exercise period. The authorization for issuance of the
Class B common stock will automatically terminate on the earlier of the
date on which the exercise notices for either the put or call have been
issued for the Class B common stock, or the date of automatic conversion
of all outstanding shares of Class B common stock described above. After
the closing of this offering, we expect to offer the Class B shareholders
the option to redeem their Class B shares at $7.00 per share or to convert
each Class B share into one share of our Class A common stock. Holders of
the common stock are entitled to receive, as, when and if declared by the
board of directors from time to time, such dividends and other
distributions in cash, stock or property from our assets or funds legally
available for such purposes, subject to any dividend preferences that may
be attributable to preferred stock that is outstanding. Holders of the
common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all
matters on which shareholders may vote.
There are no preemptive, conversion, redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of
common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. In the event of our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are
entitled to share ratably in the assets available for distribution.
Preferred stock
Our board of directors, without further action by the shareholders,
is authorized to issue an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may, without
shareholder approval, determine the dividend rates, redemption prices,
preferences on liquidation or dissolution, conversion rights, voting
rights and any other preferences. No such preferred stock may have voting
rights except as provided by Section 7-110-104 of Colorado law which
permits voting by the holders of any class of shares on amendments to
articles of incorporation that would affect the rights of holders of such
class. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control without further action of the
shareholders. The board of directors authorized the issuance of 770,000
shares of nonvoting Series A preferred stock in February 1999 of which
700,000 were issued to accredited investors in March and April 1999 in a
private offering. The other 70,000 shares were subject to preferred stock
purchase warrants issued to NTB as the placement agent for the private
placement. The preferred stock purchase warrants have been terminated at
NTB's request. Each share of preferred stock is convertible at any time
at the holder's option into one share of Class A common stock. Automatic
conversion of the preferred stock will occur upon the earlier to occur of
the closing of the public offering of Class A common stock offered by this
prospectus or the date specified in a notice delivered by us any time
after January 1, 2004. Commencing on the date of issuance of the
preferred stock through the date of conversion, each holder will receive,
when, as and if declared by the board of directors, cumulative
preferential dividends at the rate of 5% per year. Dividends are payable
quarterly either in cash or in shares of Class A common stock at our
option. All accrued and unpaid dividends will be paid upon conversion of
the preferred stock. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
cavion.com, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the preferred
stock will be entitled to receive $6.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends on the date fixed for distribution of assets prior to and in
preference to any distribution or payment of assets to holders of our
common stock. Since the conversion of the preferred stock into common
stock is expected to occur upon closing of this public offering, it is not
expected that this right will be effected. All of the 700,000 shares of
Class A common stock into which the outstanding shares of preferred stock
are convertible will be registered under a separate registration statement
after this offering closes. Each purchaser of our preferred stock had to
agree that their registered shares of common stock could not be sold for
nine months from the effective date of this prospectus without the written
consent of the representative.
Preferred stock warrant
As of June 30, 1999, we had warrants outstanding for the purchase of
70,000 shares of our preferred stock exercisable at $3,00 per share for a
period of five years. The warrants were issued to NTB in connection with
the February 1999 private placement of preferred stock described in the
preceding paragraph. The preferred stock warrants have been terminated at
NTB's request.
Common stock warrant
We have warrants outstanding for the purchase of 30,000 shares of our
Class A common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a five year period
beginning on the earlier to occur of this closing or one year from the
date of their issuance. The warrants are exercisable at the price per
share of the shares offered in this offering, or, if this offering does
not close within one year from the date of issuance of the warrants, at
$6.00 per share. The warrants were issued in our August 1999 private
placement of notes and warrants.
Shareholder action by written consent
Our bylaws provide that any action that may be taken at a meeting of
the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if such action is
authorized by the unanimous written consent of all shareholders entitled
to vote at a meeting for such purposes. Since cavion.com has numerous
shareholders at this time and will have a much greater number after this
offering, it is not likely that action by unanimous written consent of the
shareholders is feasible.
Special meetings
Our bylaws provide that special meetings of our shareholders may be
called by the board, by our president or by one or more written demands
for the meeting, stating the purposes for which it is to be held, signed
and dated by the holders of shares representing at least 10 percent of all
the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at
the meeting. This provision may make it difficult for shareholders to
take action opposed by the board.
Amendments to our bylaws
Our bylaws provide that they may be amended or repealed by the
shareholders or, except to the extent limited by Colorado law, by the
board of directors.
Indemnification of directors and officers
The Colorado Business Corporation Act provides the power to indemnify
and pay the litigation expenses of any officer, director or agent who is
made a party to any proceeding. Our articles of incorporation also
provide for indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities
arising out of their service to us to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling
cavion.com as provided in the foregoing provisions, we have been informed
that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and thus cannot be
enforced.
Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any person against all
liability and expense incurred by any reason of the person being or having
been a director or officer of cavion.com to the full extent and in any
manner that directors may be indemnified under Colorado law, our bylaws, a
resolution of the board of directors or shareholders, by contract or
otherwise so long as such provision is legally permissible. At the
discretion of the board of directors, we may also indemnify any employee,
fiduciary or agent who is not a director or officer to the same extent as
a director or officer.
Our bylaws authorize us to take steps to ensure that all persons
entitled to the indemnification are properly indemnified, including if the
board of directors so determines, purchasing and maintaining insurance.
We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our
officers and directors to indemnify them and to advance expenses to the
fullest extent permitted by law either in connection with the
investigation, defense, adjudication, settlement or appeal of a proceeding
or in connection with establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification
or advancement of expenses. In addition, the agreement provides that no
claim or cause of action may be asserted by us against such director or
officer after two years from the date of the alleged act or omission,
provided that if in fact the person has fraudulently concealed the facts,
then no claim or cause of action may be asserted after two years from the
earlier of the date we discover the facts or the date we should have
discovered such facts by the exercise of reasonable diligence. The term
of the agreement and our obligations apply while the person is our agent
and continues so long as the person is subject to any claim by reason of
the fact that he or she served as our agent.
Limitation of liability
Our articles of incorporation provide that none of our directors
shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
o for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
o for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law
o for the payment of unlawful dividends and specified other
acts prohibited by Colorado corporate law
o for any transaction resulting in receipt by the director of
an improper personal benefit
We have obtained directors and officers' liability insurance to
provide directors and officers with insurance coverage for losses arising
from claims based on breaches of duty, negligence, error and other
wrongful acts. At present, there is no material pending litigation or
proceeding, and we are not aware of any material threatened litigation or
proceeding, involving any director, officer, employee or agent where
indemnification will be required or permitted under the articles of
incorporation, our bylaws or the indemnification agreements.
Transfer agent
The transfer agent for our common stock is American Securities
Transfer & Trust, Inc. in Lakewood, Colorado.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market
following the offering could adversely affect the market price of the
common stock and adversely affect our ability to raise capital at a time
and on terms favorable to us.
Upon completion of the offering, there will be 4,606,326 shares of
common stock outstanding, including the automatic conversion of 700,000
shares of Series A preferred stock into Class A common stock, assuming
that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. The
1,200,000 shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable in the
United States if a market for our stock develops, by persons other than
our officers, directors or other affiliated parties. We have agreed to
register the shares of Class A common stock that will be issued upon the
automatic conversion of the Series A preferred stock upon the closing of
the offering in a separate registration as soon as possible after the
closing of the offering. The holders of the preferred stock have agreed
not to sell their shares of preferred stock, or the shares of common stock
into which the preferred shares will be converted, for a period of nine
months after the date of this prospectus, without the representative's
prior consent. After the nine month period has expired, and assuming the
separate registration statement has become effective, these holders will
be able to freely trade their shares of Class A common stock in the public
market, unless such shares are held by "affiliates," as that term is
defined in Rule 144(a) under the Securities Act of 1933. For purposes of
Rule 144, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that, directly or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled
by or is under common control with, such issuer.
The remaining 2,706,326 shares of common stock to be outstanding
after the offering are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act.
After the expiration of the lock-up arrangements that have been agreed to
by the holders of these restricted shares, which are described below, the
restricted shares may be sold in the public market upon the expiration of
specified holding periods under Rule 144, subject to the volume, manner of
sale and other limitations of Rule 144.
In general, under Rule 144, a person holding restricted securities
for at least one year, may, within any three-month period, sell in
ordinary brokerage transactions, a number of shares equal to one percent
of a company's then outstanding common stock, or the average weekly
trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the person's sales.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions,
notice requirements and the availability of current public information
about us. A shareholder who is not an "affiliate" of ours and who has
held the shares for at least two years, may sell the shares without any
quantity limitations, manner of sale provisions or public information
requirements.
As of the date of this prospectus there were options to purchase
477,500 shares of common stock under our Equity Incentive Plan of which
160,961 are exercisable. An additional 272,000 shares are reserved for
issuance under the Plan. We intend to register the shares of common stock
issued, issuable or reserved for issuance under the Plan as soon as
practicable following the date of this prospectus.
Also as of the date of this prospectus there were outstanding
warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock. The warrants were
issued in connection with our August 1999 private placement of notes and
warrants.
Lock-up arrangements
Along with our officers and directors, all of the holders of 5% or
more of the common stock, or securities convertible into common stock,
have agreed not to offer or sell or contract to dispose of any of their
shares of common stock without the prior written consent of NTB for a
period of 12 months from the effective date of this prospectus. In
addition, all of the other shareholders who own shares, or securities
convertible into common stock, prior to this public offering have agreed
not to offer or sell or contract to dispose of any of their shares of
common stock for a period of 9 months from the date of this prospectus
without such written consent. Most of these shareholders have also agreed
that, for a period of 18 months from the date of this prospectus, any
public sale of their shares, either under Rule 144 or otherwise, will be
made only in a transaction through NTB, provided that NTB's compensation
is competitive with other broker-dealers. The representative has no
present intention to waive or shorten the period of these lock-up
arrangements.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Our founding shareholders, Venture Funding, Ltd. and Boutine Capital,
LLC acquired 1,100,000, and 900,000 shares, respectively, of our Class A
common stock on August 18, 1998 for $.0001 per share. On December 21,
1998, David Selina and Jeff Marshall, members of our management, and Craig
Lassen, a former member of our management, purchased 208,452 shares each
of Class A common stock for $.01 per share. Their share ownership
subsequently increased to 209,055 shares each as provided in the Agreement
for Post-Closing Adjustments described below.
On September 14, 1998, we entered into a Loan Agreement to loan our
predecessor, LanXtra, Inc., a Colorado corporation, formerly known as
Sigmacom Corporation and Cavion Technologies, Inc., up to $300,000. On
December 29, 1998, cavion.com agreed to lend up to an additional $55,000
under the same terms, and advanced $35,000 of this amount. The loan was
made to fund LanXtra's working capital, promotion and marketing, and
development of proprietary technology and was secured by substantially all
of the assets of LanXtra, including its technology. In connection with
the loan, LanXtra executed a promissory note requiring monthly interest
payments on the unpaid principal balance at an interest rate of 16% per
year, with the entire remaining balance due on March 14, 1999. This loan
was discharged on February 1, 1999, under the terms of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, as described more fully below.
In 1998, we conducted a private placement of securities which raised
$370,000 through the issuance of 15% secured notes due on October 19, 2000
in the aggregate principal amount of $370,000, along with warrants to
purchase 2,400 shares of our Class A common stock for every $20,000 of
note principal at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. As provided in a
security agreement dated October 20, 1998, the notes are secured by
substantially all of our assets, now owned or acquired subsequent to that
date, including cash, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles, and all
products and proceeds of the foregoing collateral, accounts receivable,
inventory, work in process and service contracts receivables. The October
20, 1998 security agreement contains a covenant which prohibits us from
incurring any other liens on our assets. We raised an additional $100,000
through this offering in 1999. The warrants were exercisable for a period
of one year after repayment of the Notes. On December 22, 1998, we
accelerated the warrants' exercise period to begin on December 22, 1998.
All holders exercised their warrants by February 8, 1999 and all of the
shares purchased have been issued.
We engaged First Capital Investments, Inc., a broker/dealer
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as our exclusive
placement agent and financial advisor for the private placement. We
agreed to pay First Capital commissions of 8% of the gross proceeds of the
offering and reimburse expenses, not to exceed 3% of the gross proceeds of
the offering, and we issued First Capital a warrant to purchase 5,640
shares of Class A common stock, which was exercised on February 8, 1999.
We granted First Capital piggyback registration rights for these shares.
First Capital has agreed not to exercise these rights for inclusion of its
shares in this offering. First Capital has waived any commissions with
respect to our 1999 private placement of preferred stock and this
offering. Under the terms of the engagement, for a period of two years
after the closing of our 1998 private placement, First Capital will
provide us with financial advisory services and is entitled to receive 8%
of the gross consideration and/or value attributed to any business
combination between us and a third party that is introduced to us by First
Capital or involves the work product of First Capital. First Capital and
the representative have agreed that we will not be required to pay a
double commission on future corporate financing. Julie Graham, the spouse
of Gary Graham, is the sole member of Boutine Capital, LLC, one of our
principal shareholders. Gary Graham is a principal of First Capital and
Julie Graham is its sole shareholder.
On December 31, 1998, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to
purchase substantially all the assets and assume the liabilities of
LanXtra. The transaction closed on February 1, 1999. In exchange for the
sale of its assets, LanXtra received:
o 375,214 shares of our Class A common stock, subsequently
increased to 376,299 shares
o 28,648 shares of our Class B common stock, which were issued to
replace LanXtra's nonvoting common stock.
o We assumed the following liabilities of LanXtra:
o The obligations reflected on LanXtra's balance sheet and all
accounts payable of LanXtra
o The accrued salaries and benefits of employees that accepted
employment with us
o All obligations and liabilities arising on or after the closing
with respect to LanXtra's assets or business
o The amounts due to us under the loan we made to LanXtra in 1998,
resulting in a discharge of that loan
o Any liability of LanXtra in connection with the threatened
lawsuit described in "Our Business - Legal Proceedings" and
other contingent liabilities described in the Asset Purchase
Agreement
LanXtra was incorporated on June 26, 1992. The founding shareholders
were Craig E. Lassen, Herman Axelrod, and Kirk Dennis. On August 1, 1996,
the founders entered into an Investment Agreement with four investors,
British Far East Holdings, Ltd., William M.B. Berger Living Trust, Martin
Cooper and Fairway Realty Associates, who we call the 1996 Investors, who,
in exchange for LanXtra stock, provided cash collateral in the amount of
$600,000 for LanXtra's commercial loan with US Bank, N.A. made on August
1, 1996. The loan was also secured by an additional $20,000 in cash
collateral provided by LanXtra. As a condition to providing the
collateral for the loan, the 1996 Investors were granted benefits under a
Put Agreement with LanXtra, a Share Escrow Agreement between LanXtra, the
1996 Investors and Norwest Bank Colorado, as escrow agent, a Subordination
Agreement between LanXtra and its founders, and, in the case of one 1996
Investor, an Advisor's Option Agreement, each of which was dated as of
August 1, 1996. Collectively, these agreements were intended to ensure
the reimbursement of the 1996 Investors if LanXtra defaulted on the US
Bank loan and the 1996 Investors' collateral was foreclosed. These
agreements have been terminated as provided in the Termination and
Modification Agreement of September 28, 1998 between LanXtra, its founders
and the 1996 Investors. However, the Termination and Modification
Agreement does include an obligation for LanXtra to reimburse the 1996
Investors in the event of foreclosure on their collateral by US Bank.
We borrowed $600,000 from US Bank as provided in the Loan Agreement
of January 18, 1999, which was later amended on March 24, 1999. The
proceeds of the new loan were used to pay off the 1996 loan to LanXtra.
The new loan bears annual interest at the rate of 1.5% over the reference
rate payable monthly beginning on February 28, 1999. The principal of the
loan must be paid in a single payment on December 31, 1999. The loan is
secured by $620,000 cash collateral consisting of certificates of deposit
and letters of credit, of which $600,000 was provided by the 1996
Investors and $20,000 was provided by us. On January 15, 1999, the
Termination and Modification Agreement was amended to provide that upon
closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the shares of Class A common
stock received by LanXtra as consideration will not be distributed to its
shareholders until our loan with US Bank has been paid in full or the 1996
Investors have been reimbursed for their collateral. Upon closing of the
Asset Purchase Agreement with LanXtra, we assumed LanXtra's obligations
under the amended Termination and Modification Agreement with the 1996
Investors.
The LanXtra obligations we assumed also include the transactions
described below. Each of the creditors of these obligations has agreed to
defer repayment until 15 days after the closing of this offering.
o On July 1 and August 1, 1992, LanXtra executed promissory
notes for $25,000 in favor of Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Lassen,
respectively, at an interest rate of 2% over prime. These notes
were originally secured by the assets of LanXtra which are now
owned by cavion.com. The original principal amounts of these
notes reflects $20,000 in cash loaned by each and $5,000 each of
co-signer liability on a $10,000 credit line at the Bank of
Boulder that LanXtra obtained at its inception. The credit line
was paid in full in August 1996, leaving an aggregate principal
balance of $40,000 on the notes. We assumed the obligation to
pay Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Lassen the principal balance of the
notes together with interest stated above which will continue to
be paid on a quarterly basis until the notes are paid in full.
o Between September 8, 1997 and October 15, 1997, Herman
Axelrod, the former president and director of LanXtra, and Mr.
Lassen, also a former president and director of LanXtra, made
factoring loans to LanXtra in the amounts of $50,190 and
$25,000, respectively. These loans were secured by an account
receivable for computer network integration work LanXtra
performed for Questar Infocomm and bear interest at the rate of
3% of the loan amount for the first 30 days, and 1% for each
additional 10 days until the loan is paid in full. Questar
disputed the amount of LanXtra's invoice, and the dispute was
settled in September 1998 under which Questar paid LanXtra the
sum of $61,780. This amount was then paid against the factoring
loans on September 21, 1998 as follows: $41,238 to Mr. Axelrod
and $20,542 to Mr. Lassen leaving $28,331 due to Mr. Axelrod and
$13,441 due to Mr. Lassen. We assumed these obligations, but no
further interest will accrue on them.
o We assumed the obligation to pay Mr. Lassen $12,500 for
unpaid back salary. Between the months of October 1997 and
November 1997, Mr. Lassen agreed to defer payment of salary due
to a shortage of working capital during those months. No
interest will accrue on this obligation.
o We assumed the obligation to pay Mr. Axelrod $19,904 for
unpaid back salary. Between the months of September 1997 and
December 1997, Mr. Axelrod agreed to defer payment of salary due
to a shortage of working capital during those months. No
interest will accrue on this obligation.
o We assumed the obligation to pay Convergent Communications,
Inc. $78,673 for equipment purchased in connection with a
customer network upgrade performed by LanXtra in December 1997,
while Convergent was completing the purchase of LanXtra's
network integration business.
o On May 28, 1998, LanXtra borrowed an aggregate of $150,000
to be used for working capital from three of its shareholders,
British Far East Holdings, Ltd., Martin Cooper and Fairway
Realty Associates in equal amounts as provided in a Bridge Loan
Agreement. On that same date, LanXtra entered into an
Additional Bridge Loan Agreement with David Selina, Jeff
Marshall and Randal Burtis, to borrow an additional $110,000 for
working capital purposes. Of that amount, $30,000 was borrowed
from Mr. Selina, $50,000 from Mr. Marshall and $30,000 from Mr.
Burtis. LanXtra issued each of these shareholders and employees
senior promissory notes bearing interest at 42% per year, the
principal and interest of which was payable in three equal
monthly installments beginning on November 1, 1998. They also
received shares of LanXtra nonvoting common stock and put
options to sell those shares back to LanXtra at $7.00 a share
beginning on January 1, 1999. We assumed LanXtra's obligations
under the senior promissory notes to pay these individuals an
aggregate of $260,000 in principal and $59,480 in interest,
which did not continue to accrue after the closing of the Asset
Purchase Agreement. We assumed LanXtra's obligations under the
Put Agreements by issuing to LanXtra at the closing of the Asset
Purchase Agreement 28,648 shares of our Class B common stock.
The terms of our Class B common stock contain put provisions
which are identical to those in the Put Agreements except that
the exercise period for the put begins 30 days after our 100
Credit Union Date, and we also have an option to purchase all or
part of the Class B common stock at a price of $7.00. After
completion of this offering we expect to offer these
shareholders the option to redeem their Class B shares at $7.00
per share, or to convert each Class B share into one share of
our Class A common stock.
LanXtra has conveyed the shares of our Class A and Class B common
stock it received through the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Agreement
for Post-Closing Adjustments to a newly formed limited liability company
named Zutano LLC. Zutano has the same ownership as LanXtra, and will hold
the shares until they are distributed to its members after the completion
of this offering.
Beginning in February 1999, we conducted a private placement of our
Series A preferred stock in which we sold 700,000 shares at $3.00 per
share and raised gross proceeds of $2,100,000. In accordance with the
terms of our Series A preferred stock, these shares will automatically
convert into 700,000 shares of Class A common stock upon the closing of
this offering. The holders of the converted shares of common stock are
entitled to piggyback registration rights. We engaged Neidiger, Tucker,
Bruner, Inc., as our exclusive placement agent for the offering as
provided in a Placement Agent Agreement dated March 10, 1999. NTB
received a placement fee and non-accountable expense allowance equal to
10% and 2%, respectively, of the gross proceeds in the offering, and
warrants to purchase 70,000 shares of preferred stock exercisable at $3.00
per share for a term of five years. The preferred stock purchase warrants
have been terminated at NTB's request. NTB has a non-contingent right of
first refusal to act as our investment banker with respect to any public
or private offering or sale of any of our securities, or the securities of
any subsidiary, for three years ending December 22, 2001. In addition, in
the event of a closing of any such offering in the first 24 months in
which NTB does not choose to act as our investment banker, we must pay NTB
a fee of $200,000 and issue NTB a warrant in an amount equal to 3% of the
securities sold, exercisable for five years at a purchase price of 120% of
the price of the securities in that offering.
When we closed the Asset Purchase Agreement with LanXtra, our
founding shareholders, Venture Funding, Ltd. and Boutine Capital, LLC,
agreed with LanXtra and our management shareholders, Mr. Selina, Mr.
Marshall and Mr. Lassen, that there would be a post-closing adjustment of
the shares of our Class A common stock held by these parties. Under the
Agreement for Post-Closing Adjustments, Venture Funding and Boutine agreed
to bear the equity cost of bringing us the first $1 million of new equity,
while LanXtra and the management shareholders agreed to share in the
dilution of any additional equity. This agreement was completed as of
April 16, 1999, with the transfer of an aggregate of 2,894 shares of our
Class A common stock from Venture Funding and Boutine to LanXtra and the
management shareholders.
On August 18, 1999, we entered into an agreement with MoneyLine
America, LLC to provide on-line mortgage lending services for our credit
unions and their members via our network. Fifty percent of MoneyLine
America is owned by Boutine Capital, LLC, a principal shareholder of
cavion.com.
On August 31, 1999, we completed a private placement of promissory
notes and warrants to purchase common stock under we raised $300,000. The
14% notes are due on the first to occur of the closing of this offering or
one year from their issuance. Each $50,000 note entitled the purchaser to
warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are
exercisable for a five year period beginning on the earlier to occur of
the closing of this offering or one year from the date of their issuance.
The warrants are exercisable at the price per share of the shares offered
in this offering, or, if this offering does not close within one year from
the date of the issuance of the warrants, at $6.00 per share. First
Capital and NTB acted as our placement agents and received a commission of
9%; totaling $27,000 between them.
We have contracted with Convergent Communications Services, Inc. to
provide connectivity between our network and our customers for a monthly
fee, beginning on October 22, 1999. Under our contract, Convergent
purchased our host site equipment for $286,000. One of our directors,
John R. Evans, is the chief executive officer and chairman of the board of
Convergent Communications, Inc., the parent company of Convergent
Communications Services, Inc. As part of our purchase of LanXtra's assets
in February 1999, we assumed LanXtra's obligation to pay Convergent
Communications, Inc. $78,673 for equipment purchased in connection with a
customer network upgrade performed by LanXtra in December 1997.
Convergent Communications Services, Inc. is an owner of Zutano, LLC.
LanXtra contributed to Zutano, LLC its shares of cavion.com common stock
received in the asset purchase transaction in February 1999. LanXtra also
contributed to Zutano its warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common
stock of Convergent Communications, Inc. at $15.00 per share, which expire
on December 3, 1999. Convergent Communications Services, Inc., as an
owner of Zutano, will receive a portion of the cavion.com common stock and
Convergent warrants when Zutano distributes its assets after the
completion of this offering.
We believe that each of the related party transactions described
above were on terms at least as favorable as could be obtained from
nonaffiliated parties. All future transactions between cavion.com and an
officer, director or a principal shareholder will be on terms at least as
favorable to us as could be obtained from nonrelated parties; and, in
addition, any such transactions must be approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the board of directors with access to counsel.
Underwriting
Subject to the terms and conditions in the underwriting agreement,
the underwriters named below, for which Neidiger, Tucker, Bruner, Inc., is
acting as representative, have agreed to purchase from us the respective
number of shares of common stock shown opposite its name below.

</TABLE>
In the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed, to
purchase all shares offered by this prospectus, other than the shares
covered by the underwriters' over-allotment option described below. In
the event of a default by any underwriter, the underwriting agreement
provides that the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters
may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.
The representative has advised us that the underwriters propose to
offer the shares to the public at the initial public offering price set
forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and to selected dealers at
such price less a concession not in excess of $ per share and
that the representative and such dealers may reallow a discount of not in
excess of $ per share to other dealers. The offering price and
the concession and discount to dealers may be changed by the
representative after the initial public distribution of the shares is
completed. The representative also has advised us that the underwriters
do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which any of them
exercise discretionary authority.
We have granted the underwriters an option, expiring at the close of
business 45 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to
180,000 additional shares at the offering price less the 10% underwriting
discount and a 2% non-accountable expense allowance. The underwriters may
exercise this option only to satisfy over-allotments in the sale of the
shares. We will be obligated to sell these shares to the underwriters to
the extent the option is exercised. If the over-allotment option is
exercised in full, the total public offering price, underwriting discount
and gross proceeds to us will be $---------, $------------ and $----------
- --, respectively.
We have agreed to pay the representative a non-accountable expense
allowance of 2% of the total proceeds of the offering of which we have
already paid $45,000. We have also agreed to pay all expenses in
connection with qualifying the shares for sale in the states selected by
the representative. The representative's expenses in excess of the non-
accountable expense allowance, including its legal expenses, will be borne
by the representative. To the extent that the expenses of the
representative are less than the non-accountable expense allowance, the
excess may be deemed additional underwriting compensation.
Until the distribution of the shares is completed, rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission may limit the ability of the
underwriters and selling group members to bid for and purchase our common
stock. As exceptions to these rules, the underwriters are permitted to
engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock. Such
transactions may consist of over-allotment, stabilizing transactions,
syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with
Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Over-allotment
involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which create a
syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to
purchase the common stock so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a
specified maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of
the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been
completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids
permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate
member when the securities originally sold by such syndicate member are
purchased in a syndicate covering transaction. Such transactions, or any
of them, may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it
would otherwise be in the absence of such transactions.
Neither cavion.com nor the underwriters make any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the
transactions described above may have on the price of the common stock.
If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the
underwriters at any time without notice.
Our directors, officers and each holder of 5% or more of our common
stock have agreed not to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of their shares
of cavion.com common stock for a period of 12 months after the date of
this prospectus without the representative's prior written consent. Each
holder who owns less than 5% of our common stock, or securities
convertible into common stock, prior to the public offering has agreed not
to offer or sell or otherwise dispose of any of their shares for a period
of 9 months from the date of this prospectus without the prior written
consent of the representative. Most of these shareholders have also
agreed that, for a period of 18 months from the date of this prospectus,
any public sales of their shares, either under Rule 144 or otherwise, will
be made through the representative on an exclusive basis, provided that
the representative's compensation is competitive with other broker-
dealers.
We have agreed to sell the representative on completion of the
offering, for $100, a warrant entitling the representative or its assigns
to purchase 120,000 shares of our common stock. The representative's
warrant will be exercisable for a period of four years beginning one year
from the date of this prospectus. The representative's warrant will
contain anti-dilution provisions and permit the cashless exercise of the
warrant utilizing the value of the warrants being surrendered. The
exercise price of the representative's warrant is 125% of the public
offering price. The warrant is not redeemable by us. The
representative's warrant and the underlying common shares will be
restricted from sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation for three
years after the date of this prospectus, except to officers of the
representative, co-underwriters, selling group members and their officers
or partners. After such three year period, the representative's warrant
and the underlying common shares will be transferable provided such
transfer is in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933. We have agreed, at the representative's request, to register the
common stock underlying the representative's warrant issuable upon
exercise of the warrants. We may find it more difficult to raise
additional equity capital while the representative's warrant is
outstanding.
The representative has agreed to provide investment banking services
to us upon completion of the offering for a period of two years for a fee
of $48,000, payable at the closing of the offering. We have agreed to pay
the representative a fee based on the consideration paid or received by us
or our shareholders or any subsidiary in any transaction, including
mergers, asset sales and acquisitions, accepted by us within 3 years from
the completion of the offering made by this prospectus, provided the
representative introduced the other party to us. Such fee is based on a
sliding scale decreasing from 5% of the first $3 million of consideration
to 1% of any consideration greater than $10 million.
We have also agreed that for a period of two years from the date of
this offering, the representative shall have the right to designate one
person as an advisor to our board of directors. That person will be
reimbursed for his expenses in attending meetings of the board and will
receive cash compensation equal to that received by outside directors but
will have no power to vote as a director. We will indemnify that person
against any claim arising out of his or her participation in meetings of
the board to the same extent as directors. During such two-year period,
we have agreed with the representative to hold at least four meetings of
our board each year. We maintain a liability insurance policy with
coverage for acts of our officers and directors, and we have agreed that
if possible we will include the advisor designee as an insured under the
policy. Any advisor designated by the representative must be acceptable
to us, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld. The
representative has not yet designated an advisor to our board.
The representative received a $210,000 commission, a non-accountable
expense allowance of $42,000, and warrants to purchase up to 70,000 shares
of our preferred stock at $3.00 per share in connection with our private
offering of preferred stock completed in April 1999. The warrants have
been terminated at NTB's request. The representative also received a
$9,000 commission in connection with our August 1999 private offering of
promissory notes and warrants.
In connection with this offering, cavion.com and the underwriters
have agreed to indemnify each other against liabilities under the
Securities Act and if such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient,
cavion.com and the underwriters have agreed to damage contribution
arrangements based upon relative benefits received from this offering and
relative fault resulting from such damage.
Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for our
securities. The initial public offering price of the shares of common
stock has been determined by negotiation between us and the
representative. Among the factors considered in determining the initial
public offering price of the shares of common stock were:
o our earnings and other financial and operating information
in recent periods
o our future prospects and our industry in general
o the general condition of the securities markets at the time
of this offering
o the market prices of securities and the financial and
operating information of companies engaged in activities similar
to ours
There can be no assurance, however, that the prices at which the
common stock will sell in the public market after this offering will not
be lower than the price at which it is sold by the underwriters.
Application has been made to have the common stock approved for quotation
on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market upon completion of this offering.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the
terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, copies of which are on
file at the offices of cavion.com, the representative and the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JANUARY 31, 1999, DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
DECEMBER 31, 1997
TOGETHER WITH REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To LanXtra, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of LANXTRA, INC. (a
Colorado corporation; formerly Cavion Technologies, Inc. and Sigmacom
Corporation) as of January 31, 1999, December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for
the one-month period ended January 31, 1999 and for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these 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 audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of LanXtra, Inc. as of
January 31, 1999, December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the one-month period ended January 31,
1999 and for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 all in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. Effective February 1, 1999,
substantially all of the Company's assets were transferred to Cavion
Technologies, Inc. in exchange for common stock and the assumption of the
Company's liabilities. Subsequent to this transaction, the Company's
activities will be limited to holding warrants to purchase the common
stock of Convergent Communications Services, Inc. and common stock of
Cavion Technologies, Inc. In April 1999, the Board of Directors resolved
to form a limited liability company and contribute the Company's remaining
assets into such company. The ability of the Company and its successor
limited liability company to continue operations depends upon the ultimate
value, if any, of the financial instruments held and the resolution of the
matters discussed in Note 7. This raises substantial doubt about the
Company and its successor's ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount
and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 AND
-----------------------------------------
FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
------------------------------------------
(Information as of June 30, 1998 and
for the six months then ended is unaudited)
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
-----------------------
Organization
------------
Sigmacom Corporation ("Sigmacom")was incorporated under the laws of the
state of Colorado on June 26, 1992. In 1998 Sigmacom changed its name to
Cavion Technologies, Inc. Effective January 1999, Cavion Technologies,
Inc. changed its name to LanXtra, Inc. ("LanXtra" or the "Company").
Before 1998, the Company was engaged in integrating computer networks and
communications technologies for financial institutions, Fortune 1000
companies and government agencies. On December 3, 1997, the Company
entered into an asset purchase agreement with Convergent Communications
Services, Inc. ("Convergent") for the sale of certain assets of the
Company, including all assets related to the Company's network integrator
business, including, without limitation, the name, "Sigmacom".
Since January 1, 1998, the Company has been engaged in developing and
marketing a suite of network products and services for the credit union
industry that includes: (1) a secure network that enables access via the
internet or an intranet; (2) secure internet financial products such as
internet banking software; and (3) secure internet access services for
credit unions.
Subsequent to the transaction discussed below, the Company's activities
will be limited to holding warrants for the purchase of Convergent common
stock and common stock of the new Cavion Technologies, Inc. Further, in
April 1999, the Board of Directors resolved to form a limited liability
company and contribute the Company's remaining assets into such company.
The ability of the Company and its successor limited liability company to
continue operations depends upon the ultimate value, if any, of the
financial instruments held and the resolution of the matters discussed in
Note 7. This raises substantial doubt about the Company and its
successor's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
Transfer of the Company's Assets, Liabilities and Operations
------------------------------------------------------------
In August 1998, the Company signed a letter of intent to transfer its
assets and operations to a company to be renamed Cavion Technologies, Inc.
("Cavion"). In December 1998, the Company signed an Asset Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Cavion for the transfer of
substantially all the assets of the Company in exchange for 375,214 shares
and 28,648 shares of Cavion's Class A and B common stock, respectively,
and the assumption of liabilities. Also in December 1998, management
shareholders of LanXtra received 625,356 shares of Class A common stock
directly from Cavion. These management shareholders held sufficient
voting shares, directly and indirectly through irrevocable proxies, to
approve the transaction with Cavion.
The Class A common stock and Class B common stock of Cavion are alike in
all respects, except that the Class B common shareholders have the option
to put those shares to Cavion for $7 per share and a parallel call option
is held by Cavion. The Class A common stock issued to the Company
represents approximately 12% of the common equity of Cavion. The Purchase
Agreement was consummated on February 1, 1999 and Cavion has subsequently
assumed the operations of the Company. During the period from August 1998
through February 1, 1999, Cavion provided loans to the Company totaling
$335,000 at January 31, 1999. Such loans were forgiven as part of the
transaction. In management's opinion, the purchase of the Company's
assets and assumption of its liabilities by Cavion will qualify under
Internal Revenue Code regulations as a tax free reorganization.
Upon consummation of the Purchase Agreement, several of the Company's
contractual arrangements were significantly modified. The Company's
Investment Agreement, warrant and option agreements were cancelled and
certain debt maturities were rescheduled by the creditors (see Notes 3 and
5).
Cavion is an entity formed by various third parties to acquire the
business conducted by the Company. Through January 31, 1999, Cavion had
raised $370,000 through debt offerings, $335,000 of which was advanced to
the Company as of January 31, 1999. In February 1999, Cavion conducted a
private placement of its Series A preferred stock, raising approximately
$2 million.
The business now conducted by Cavion has never been profitable, and there
is substantial risk associated with the Company's investment in Cavion
common stock. It is probable that the value of this common stock will be
highly volatile and it is reasonably possible that the ultimate value
realized from the stock could be zero.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
----------------------------------------
The interim financial statements as of and for the six months ended June
30, 1998, are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited interim financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of
operations for the interim period is not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire year.
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
Accounting for transactions during the one-month period ending January 31,
1999, is on the same basis of accounting as for the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997. The Company has presented information as of and for
the one-month period ended January 31, 1999, as this represents the final
period in which the business transferred to Cavion was conducted by the
Company.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considered all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables and payables approximated their carrying amounts due to their
short-term nature. The fair value of the Company's other financial
instruments are as follows:

Putable stock 837,500 15,000
</TABLE>
Fair values at January 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 have been estimated
using the values placed on them by the buyer in the transaction described
above. Fair values at December 31, 1997, have been estimated based upon
the terms of subsequent financings.
Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------
Financial instruments which potentially subjected the Company to
concentrations of credit risk were accounts receivable, which were
concentrated among credit union customers. The Company performed ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally
required no collateral. Additionally, the Company managed a portion of
its credit risk by billing certain services in advance. The Company had
no significant financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of
accounting loss, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or
other hedging arrangements.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment were recorded at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or their estimated
lives as follows:
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Computer equipment 3 - 5 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------
The Company reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. During 1997
and 1998 and in January 1999, no impairment losses were recorded.
Accrued Liabilities
-------------------
Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

Income Taxes
------------
A current provision for income taxes was recorded for actual or estimated
amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for each
year. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities were recorded for the
expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of
temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and carryforwards. The overall change in deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the period measured the deferred tax
expense for the period. Effects of changes in tax laws on deferred tax
assets and liabilities were reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the
period of enactment. Deferred tax assets were recognized for the expected
future tax effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss
carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets were then
reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of
any tax benefits which, more likely than not based on current
circumstances, were not expected to be realized.
Net Loss Per Share
------------------
The Company reports net loss per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss)
per share. Basic net loss per common share has been computed based upon
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period, excluding putable common stock as an assumed cash settlement
is more dilutive than a share settlement. Diluted net loss per share is
computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average
number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period
if the effect of the potential common shares is dilutive. The Company has
excluded the weighted average effect of common stock issuable upon
exercise of all warrants and options for common stock from the computation
of diluted earnings per share as the effect of all such securities is anti-
dilutive for all periods presented. The shares excluded (without regard
to the treasury stock method) are as follows:
For the year ended December 31:
1998 531,978
1997 307,113
There are no such shares excluded for the month ended January 31, 1999,
due to the cancellation of options and warrants at December 31, 1998.
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the following
average shares outstanding:

Stock Based Compensation
------------------------
The Company accounted for its employee stock option plans and other
employee stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), and related interpretations. The
Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), which allows entities to
continue to apply the provisions of APB 25 for transactions with employees
and provide pro forma disclosures for employee stock grants made in 1997
and future years as if the fair-value-based method of accounting in SFAS
No. 123 had been applied to these transactions. The Company accounted for
equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company generated revenue from three sources: (1) service revenue for
the installation of internet access equipment at customer sites, (2)
software license fees, and (3) recurring monthly network access and
connectivity fees. Service revenue was recognized as the services were
performed. Software license arrangements typically provided for
enhancements over the term of the arrangement, and software license fees
were generally received in advance, deferred and recognized ratably over
the term of the arrangement. Network access and connectivity fees were
typically billed in advance and recognized in the month that the
access/connectivity was provided.
Software Development Costs
--------------------------
Capitalization of software development costs commenced upon the
establishment of technological feasibility of the software product. The
Company's software products were deemed to be technologically feasible at
the point the Company commenced field testing of the software. The period
from field testing to general customer release of the software was brief
and the costs incurred during this period were insignificant.
Accordingly, the Company did not capitalize any qualifying software
development costs.
Comprehensive Income
--------------------
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components in financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined,
includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner
sources. From its inception through January 31, 1999, there were no
differences between comprehensive loss and net loss.
Segment Information
-------------------
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way
companies report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131, the Company has determined
that it had one reportable operating segment at December 31, 1998 and
January 31, 1999.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
----------------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The Company is
required to adopt SFAS No. 133 in the year ended December 31, 2000. SFAS
No. 133 establishes methods of accounting for derivative financial
instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as
other hedging activities. The Company's derivative financial instruments
include a written put on the Company's common stock and the Convergent
warrants (Note 8).
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
(3) DEBT
----
Revolving Line of Credit
------------------------
In 1996, the Company entered into a two-year revolving line of credit (the
"Revolving Line of Credit") with a bank which allows for borrowings up to
$600,000. Interest accrues at a rate equal to the Bank's reference rate
plus 1.5% (9.25%, 9.25% and 10% at January 31, 1999, December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively). The Revolving Line of Credit is collateralized by
letters of credit issued by the Company and certain stockholders as well
as by agreements among certain stockholders (see Note 5). In 1998, the
Revolving Line of Credit was extended and all amounts outstanding were due
on January 31, 1999. As part of the Purchase Agreement, the Revolving
Line of Credit was assumed by Cavion and the maturity date of the loan was
extended to December 31, 1999.
As part of the 1997 asset sale agreement with Convergent, it was agreed
that the Company would be reimbursed for interest expense incurred on the
Revolving Line of Credit if certain revenue targets were achieved on the
line of business sold. In 1998, Convergent reimbursed the Company for
interest expense totaling $30,334 until June 30, 1998, when such
reimbursements were discontinued because the revenue targets were not met.
Notes Payable to Stockholders
-----------------------------
The notes payable to stockholders consist of eight notes totaling $300,000
at January 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998. Two of the notes have an
aggregate principal balance of $40,000 and accrue interest at a rate of
prime plus 2% (9.75%, 9.75% and 10.5% as of January 31, 1999, December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively). During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company
continued to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the notes.
The notes are unsecured.
Effective May 28, 1998, the Company entered into six note payable
agreements (the "Bridge Loans") with certain stockholders and management
(the "Lenders"), whereby the Company borrowed $260,000. Interest on the
Bridge Loans was payable at the rate of 42% per year. Under the original
terms of the Bridge Loans, the principal was payable in monthly
installments and the balance, including accrued interest, was due on
January 1, 1999. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the maturity
was extended to the date on which Cavion obtains 100 credit union
customers (the "100 Credit Union Date"). In addition, interest terms were
amended such that no interest will accrue after December 31, 1998. The
Bridge Loans are unsecured.
As additional consideration for the Bridge Loans, the Lenders were issued
28,648 shares of the Company's nonvoting common stock for $.01 per share.
The Lenders had the right to sell these shares back to the Company for a
purchase price of $7 per share, during a 60-day period beginning January
1, 1999. As a result of this transaction, $200,536 was recorded as a debt
discount and accreted as interest expense in 1998. The common stock was
accreted to its redemption value at December 31, 1998. The right to sell
shares back to the Company was canceled in conjunction with the Purchase
Agreement, in exchange for the stockholders being granted the same rights
in 28,648 shares of Cavion's Class B common stock.
Note Payable
------------
On September 14, 1998, the Company entered into a loan agreement with
Cavion to borrow up to $300,000, at an interest rate of 16% and a maturity
date of March 14, 1999. The note was secured by substantially all of the
tangible and intangible assets of the Company (including its technology).
On December 29, 1998, Cavion agreed to lend up to an additional $55,000
under the same terms, and advanced $35,000 of this amount. As part of the
Purchase Agreement, this loan was forgiven.
Related Party Collateralized Loans
----------------------------------
The Company entered into factoring agreements (the "Agreements") with
management and a stockholder of the Company. Accrued interest as of
January 31, 1999, December 31, 1998 and 1997, under the Agreements was
$27,952, $27,952 and $6,905, respectively, and is included in accrued
interest in the accompanying financial statements. Under the terms of the
Agreements, interest accrued on the outstanding balances at a rate of 3%
for the first 30 days and 1% for each additional 10 days until the
outstanding balances were paid in full. In connection with the Purchase
Agreement, the maturity of these loans was extended to the 100 Credit
Union Date. In addition, interest terms were amended such that no
interest will accrue after February 1, 1999.
(4) CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
-------------------------
The Company entered into various capital lease agreements related to
computers and various office equipment. The capital leases have terms
ranging from 24 to 36 months with interest rates ranging between 11.4% and
20.3%.
As of December 31, 1998, the present value of future minimum lease
payments are as follows:
Year Ending December 31,
1999 $ 39,509
2000 21,513

Less: amounts representing interest (11,405)
--------

Less: current portion (32,363)

========
The net book value of assets under capital lease obligations as of January
31, 1999 was $65,069.
(5) STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
---------------------
Investment Agreement
--------------------
In August 1996, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the
"Investment Agreement") under which the Company sold 30,000 shares of
common stock to an investor group at par value, subject to a put option
agreement (the "Put Options"). The investor group provided letters of
credit for $600,000 to secure the Company's Revolving Line of Credit. The
Put Options were exercisable for a 60-day period beginning August 1, 1999.
The original terms of the Put Options provided that they would be canceled
if the Company completes a public stock offering and repaid the Revolving
Line of Credit. The amounts to be redeemed under the Put Options were
being accreted over the period to their exercise date using the straight
line method, and has been included in interest expense in the accompanying
statements of operations. Contingent upon consummation of the Purchase
Agreement with Cavion, the investor group, under a separate agreement, has
agreed to cancel the Put Options. The letters of credit provided by the
investor group continue to secure the Company's Revolving Line of Credit
until it is repaid by Cavion. However, LanXtra is obligated to reimburse
the investor group in the event of foreclosure on their collateral.
If Cavion defaults on the Revolving Line of Credit, 171,000 shares of the
Company's outstanding common stock held by certain members of the
Company's investor group are to be forfeited and transferred back to the
Company.
Warrants
--------
The Investment Agreement required that if the Company repaid its Revolving
Line of Credit but failed to complete a qualified initial public offering
by January 31, 2000, the investor group would be issued warrants to
purchase 30,000 shares of common stock. The warrants will have an
exercise price equal to the book value per share on December 31, 1999, and
are exercisable anytime within three years from the date of issuance. As
part of the Purchase Agreement, such warrants were canceled.
The Company also issued a stockholder warrants to purchase 7,113 shares of
common stock in consideration for services performed in connection with
the Investment Agreement. The warrants had an exercise price of $ 7.70
and are exercisable upon the expiration or the exercise of the Put Option.
No value was attributed to these warrants as it was unlikely these
warrants would be exercised prior to the exercise date. As part of the
Purchase Agreement, such warrants were canceled.
Stock Options
-------------
In 1997, the Company adopted a stock option plan. Stock options to
employees were granted at various exercise prices and vested between one
and five years.
The following table summarizes stock option activity for the plan:

===== =====
</TABLE>
As of December 31, 1998, all outstanding options for common stock were
canceled.
Under the fair value approach of SFAS 123, the total fair value of options
granted under the Plan during 1997 was approximately $478,000. If the
Company had accounted for its stock option plan in accordance with SFAS
123, the Company's net loss and pro forma net loss would have been
reported as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

</TABLE>
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant
using the minimum value method. Assumptions used to calculate the fair
value were risk free interest rates of 6.22% to 6.25%, no dividend yields,
an expected life of three to five years and volatility of .001%.
(6) INCOME TAXES
------------
From inception, the Company has generated losses for both financial
reporting and tax purposes. At January 31, 1999, December 31, 1998 and
1997, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax
purposes of approximately $1,550,000, $1,328,000 and $530,000,
respectively. These would expire beginning in 2011 through 2018, if not
utilized. The net loss carryforwards resulted in a deferred tax asset of
approximately $613,000, $530,000 and $199,000 at January 31, 1999,
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Due to the uncertainty relating
to the realization of the benefit of the net operating loss carryforward,
a valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount.
The Company paid no federal or state income taxes in 1998 or 1997.
The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate applied to the
loss from continuing operations for the following reasons:

(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
Leases
------
The Company had operating lease agreements relating to office facilities
and equipment which expire through 2000. Future minimum lease payments
under these agreements were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
1999 $60,049
2000 2,298
--------
$62,347
========
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was
approximately $60,621 and $73,000, respectively, and approximately $5,000
for January 1999. Obligations for payments under these leases were
assumed by Cavion.
Legal Matters
-------------
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to, and may
become a party to, litigation arising out of its operations. In
management's opinion, none of the matters currently in actual or
threatened litigation will have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement transaction, a shareholder of
the Company exercised his rights as a dissenting shareholder. If the
shareholder is permitted to pursue this claim in a legal proceeding, the
Company could be required to pay the shareholder the fair value of his
shares immediately before the closing date of the Purchase Agreement.
Management believes that the value paid on account of these shares
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is greater than the amount which the
dissenting shareholder could recover under Colorado law. The dissenting
shareholder has asserted, however, that the value of his 50,000 LanXtra
shares immediately before the closing date of the Purchase Agreement is
approximately $250,000. The ultimate resolution of the matter, which is
expected to occur within one year, could result in an obligation to the
shareholder. Further, should the Company, or Cavion as successor, be
required to make a payment to this shareholder, such payment could result
in the Cavion purchase transaction being treated as a taxable transaction
which could subject Cavion or the Company to a significant tax liability.
(8) DISCONTINUED OPERATION
----------------------
On December 3, 1997, the Company sold the network integrator operations
(the "Discontinued Operation") of the Company for cash of $475,000. This
transaction resulted in a gain of $418,848. The Company also received
$30,334 in 1998 from Convergent related to this transaction and has
included this amount in other income for 1998.
In conjunction with the sale, the Company also issued Convergent 51,464
shares of common stock in exchange for $400,000.
The Company also received a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of
Convergent's common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The
warrant was exercisable immediately and expires on December 3, 1999. As
of January 31, 1999, the Company had not exercised the warrant. No value
has been attributed to this warrant in the accompanying financial
statements as management believes the value of this warrant is nominal.
Convergent is not a publicly traded company, and based on information
available to the Company, the exercise price is significantly in excess of
the estimated market value of Convergent's common stock.

OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)
---------------------------------
The following unaudited balance sheet reflects the Company's balance sheet
following the transfer of the Company's assets to and assumption of its
liabilities by Cavion which was completed February 1, 1999 (see Note 1).
The investment in Cavion stock has been recorded at the net book value of
the assets transferred to and liabilities assumed by Cavion. Because the
liabilities assumed by Cavion exceeded the value of the assets transferred
and the Company was relieved from its obligations for those transferred
liabilities, the investment in Cavion was recorded at zero. As discussed
in Note 8, management believes that the fair value of the Convergent
warrants was zero.

AND DECEMBER 31, 1998
TOGETHER WITH REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Cavion Technologies, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CAVION TECHNOLOGIES,
INC. (a Colorado corporation doing business as cavion.com; formerly
Network Acquisitions, Inc.; the "Company") as of March 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and for
the period from inception (August 18, 1998) to December 31, 1998. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Cavion Technologies,
Inc. as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and for the period from inception (August 18, 1998) to December 31, 1998,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has acquired the business of an entity
that has suffered recurring and substantial operating losses. The Company
also assumed substantial liabilities, and its operating plans call for the
expenditure of significant amounts to support its anticipated growth. A
substantial portion of the equity of the Company has been derived from the
issuance of stock for non-cash consideration and is based upon estimates
of fair value which may or may not be substantiated by subsequent cash
offerings. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to
these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities
that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
-----------------------
Organization
------------
The Company was incorporated in Colorado on August 18, 1998 as Network
Acquisitions, Inc. to acquire the assets of Cavion Technologies, Inc., now
known as LanXtra, Inc. ("LanXtra"), which was engaged in providing
internet, intranet, and extranet services to the credit union industry.
On February 1, 1999, the Company acquired the business of LanXtra, and the
Company changed its name to Cavion Technologies, Inc., doing business as
cavion.com.
The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts since inception
to the acquisition of LanXtra's assets and to raising capital and other
organizational activities. The Company financed its operations through a
private placement of its 15% notes, which were offered commencing on
October 20, 1998 (the "Offering") and the sale of Series A Preferred
Stock. The Company advanced a portion of the proceeds from the Offering
to LanXtra in anticipation of the acquisition of LanXtra. Through
December 31, 1998, the Company had raised $370,000 in the private
placement and had advanced LanXtra a total of $335,000 under an agreement
dated September 14, 1998. As of March 31, 1999, an additional $100,000
was raised from the Offering (see Note 3).
Purchase of LanXtra's Assets, Liabilities and Operations
--------------------------------------------------------
In August 1998, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase
LanXtra's business. In December 1998, the Company signed an Asset
Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with LanXtra to purchase
substantially all the assets of LanXtra in exchange for approximately
375,214 shares and 28,648 shares of the Company's Class A and B common
stock, respectively, and the assumption by the Company of certain
liabilities of LanXtra. The number of Class A common stock shares issued
to LanXtra represents approximately 12% of the Company's equity interest.
The Purchase Agreement was consummated on February 1, 1999 and the Company
assumed the operations of LanXtra on that date. Upon consummation,
significant modifications were made to LanXtra's capital structure.
On December 21, 1998, the Company issued 625,356 shares to certain
shareholders of LanXtra who could continue as management of the Company.
One of these shareholders held directly and through irrevocable proxies
sufficient voting shares to approve the transaction. The shares are non-
forfeitable and not contingent upon the management's continued employment
with the Company. As a result, the shares have been considered additional
purchase consideration and are recorded at their estimated fair value of
$3 per share.
The estimated fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
consideration issued in the transaction with LanXtra are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
Consideration:
Class A common stock $3,001,710
Class B common stock 167,197
Cash 338,735
---------
3,507,642
Add: Net liabilities (assets) assumed:
Working capital deficit assumed 704,044
Property and equipment (331,020)
Borrowings assumed 924,417
Other assets (41,815)
---------
Goodwill and other intangible assets $4,763,268
=========
</TABLE>
The Company has recorded the fair value of its stock issued to LanXtra at
$3 per share based principally upon its private placement of Series A
Preferred Stock completed in February 1999. The transaction with LanXtra
resulted in approximately $4,760,000 of intangible assets (primarily
technology, customer lists and goodwill). These intangible assets will be
amortized over five years. The purchase price allocation is subject to
adjustment based on the final determination of the fair value of the
assets and liabilities assumed, which could take as long as one year from
February 1, 1999. Because the business now operated by the Company has
never been profitable, and due to the other risks and uncertainties
discussed herein, it is reasonably possible that an analysis of these long-
lived assets in future periods could result in a conclusion that they are
impaired, and the amount of the impairment could be substantial.
The Company's operations, as assumed from LanXtra, are subject to various
risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the early
stages of development, particularly companies in the new and rapidly
evolving market of internet-based products and services. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, its limited operating
history, evolving technology, and the management of rapid growth. To
address these risks, the Company must, among other things, maintain and
increase its customer base, implement and successfully execute its
business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade its
technology, provide superior customer service and attract, retain and
motivate qualified personnel. There can be no guarantee that the Company
will be successful in addressing such risks.
The business purchased from LanXtra has never achieved profitability and
the Company expects to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. This
business has never generated sufficient revenue to cover the substantial
amounts spent to create, launch and enhance its services. Even if the
Company's operations do achieve profitability in the future, it may not
sustain or increase its profitability. LanXtra historically funded its
operations through borrowings and sales of equity.
The Company has expended, and will continue to expend, significant
resources marketing its products and establishing a customer base.
Management believes, but cannot guarantee, that such products will be
accepted by the marketplace in sufficient quantities to provide for
profitable operations at some future date. The Company's ability to
achieve and attain profitable operations and positive cash flow from
operations depends upon various factors including, among others, the costs
of and resources for developing and marketing its products, the extent and
timing of market acceptance of the Company's products, competitive factors
and other factors, certain of which may be beyond the Company's control.
In order to execute its business plan, the Company will require additional
public or private debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantees
that such financing will be available in the future.
As a result of these factors, there is substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount
and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek
additional equity financing, and to continue to aggressively market the
Company's products to its identified market, in response to these factors.
Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the Company sold an additional 133,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $399,000. The
Company believes that the proceeds of this offering and the cash on hand
at March 31, 1999 will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations
through September 1999 (see Note 9).
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited)
----------------------------------------
The interim financial statements as of and for the six months ended June
30, 1999, are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited interim financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of
operations for the interim period is not necessarily indicative of the
results of the entire year.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
As of March 31, 1999, the Company has recorded capital contributions of
$4,890,066, of which only $1,708,076 was issued for cash consideration.
The Company based the estimated fair value of its stock issued to LanXtra
management shareholders in December 1998, and the stock issued to LanXtra
in February 1999, upon its private placement of preferred shares in
February 1999. The Company believes its estimate of fair value is
reasonable, however, there can be no assurance that future cash offerings
will substantiate the estimated per share value of the Company's stock.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk are accounts receivable and cash equivalents. The Company's
receivables are concentrated among credit unions. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and
generally requires no collateral. Additionally, the Company manages a
portion of its credit risk by billing certain services in advance. The
Company has no significant financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk of accounting loss, such as foreign exchange contracts, option
contracts or other hedging arrangements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable,
short-term trade payables, putable common stock and borrowings. The
carrying values of the instruments acquired from LanXtra approximate the
fair value placed upon them on February 1, 1999, in connection with their
assumption. Fair values were principally determined by discounting
expected future cash flows at a market cost of debt. The fair value of
the Company's other borrowings approximate their carrying values based
upon current market rates of interest.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment acquired from LanXtra was recorded at its estimated
fair value. Additions are recorded at cost. Property and equipment are
depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease
term or their estimated lives as follows.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Computer equipment 3 - 5 years
Licensed software 3 years
Leasehold improvements Life of the lease
</TABLE>
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. Impairment
losses are recorded for the difference between the carrying value and fair
value of the long-lived assets. The acquisition of LanXtra generated
approximately $4,760,000 of intangible assets. Because the Company is the
successor to a business which has not demonstrated the ability to achieve
profitable operations, it is reasonably possible that these intangibles
will be written down in the near future.
Deferred Offering Costs
-----------------------
The Company has recorded deferred offering costs totaling $119,773 at
March 31, 1999. Such costs represent legal and other professional fees
incurred related to the Company's proposed initial public offering. Such
costs will be offset against the initial public offering proceeds upon the
consummation of such offering. There can be no guarantee that the
offering will be consummated, and if the offering is unsuccessful, such
deferred offering costs would be expensed.
Accrued Liabilities
-------------------
Accrued liabilities consist of the following:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
March 31, December 31,
1999 1998
--------- ------------
<S> <C> <C>
Accrued payroll and vacation $ 52,882 $ -

Other liabilities 21,445 31,185
------- ------
Total accrued liabilities $286,657 $31,185
======= ======
</TABLE>
Income Taxes
------------
A current provision for income taxes is recorded for actual or estimated
amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for each
year. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the
expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of
temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and carryforwards. The overall change in deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax
expense for the period. Effects of changes in tax laws on deferred tax
assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the
period of enactment. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the expected
future tax effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss
carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are
reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of
any tax benefits which, more likely than not based on current
circumstances, are not expected to be realized.
Net Loss Per Share
------------------
The Company reports net loss per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss)
per share. Basic net loss per common share has been computed based upon
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. Weighted average common shares excludes 28,648 shares of
putable Class B common stock as an assumed cash settlement is more
dilutive. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss
for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential
common shares outstanding during the period if the effect of the potential
common shares is dilutive. The Company has excluded the weighted average
effect of common stock issuable upon exercise of all warrants and options
from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect of all
such securities is anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The shares
excluded related to outstanding options and warrants (without regard to
the treasury stock method) at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 were
345,000 and 4,440, respectively. The Company has also excluded the effect
of the convertible preferred stock as such effect would be antidilutive.
Stock Based Compensation
------------------------
The Company accounts for its employee stock option plan and other employee
stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations. The Company
adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), which allows entities to
continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 for transactions
with employees and provide pro forma disclosures for employee stock grants
as if the fair-value-based method of accounting in SFAS No. 123 had been
applied to these transactions. The Company accounts for equity
instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company generates revenue from three sources: (1) service revenue for
the installation of internet access equipment at customer sites, (2)
software license fees, and (3) recurring monthly network access and
connectivity fees. Service revenue is recognized as the services are
performed. Software license arrangements typically provide for
enhancements over the term of the arrangement, and software license fees
are generally received in advance, deferred and recognized ratably over
the term of the arrangement. Network access and connectivity fees are
typically billed in advance and recognized in the month that the
access/connectivity is provided.
Software Development Costs
--------------------------
Capitalization of software development costs commences upon the
establishment of technological feasibility of the software product. The
Company's software products are deemed to be technologically feasible at
the point the Company commences field testing of the software. The period
from field testing to general customer release of the software has been
brief and the costs incurred during this period were insignificant.
Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any qualifying software
development costs.
In March 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use
("SOP 98-1")". In general, SOP 98-1 requires that certain costs to
develop software for internal use be capitalized effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1998. The adoption of this Statement
of Position has no impact on the Company's financial statements.
Comprehensive Income
--------------------
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes
standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in the
financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all
changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources.
From inception through June 30, 1999, there have been no differences
between the Company's comprehensive loss and its net loss.
Segment Information
-------------------
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS No. 131"). This statement establishes standards for the way
companies report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company
believes it has one reportable segment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The Company is
required to adopt SFAS No. 133 in the year ended December 31, 2000. SFAS
No. 133 establishes methods of accounting for derivative financial
instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as
other hedging activities. To date, the Company has not entered into any
derivative financial instruments or hedging activities.
Statement of Position 98-5
In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on
the Costs of Start-Up Activities ("SOP 98-5")". SOP 98-5 provides
guidance on the financial reporting of start-up and organization costs and
requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be
expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1998, and was adopted by the Company on January 1,
1999. The adoption of SOP 98-5 had no impact on the Company's financial
statements as the Company had not capitalized any such costs.
(3) BORROWINGS

========= ======== ======= ========
</TABLE>
Note Payable
------------
Beginning on October 20, 1998, the Company offered through its officers,
directors and First Capital Investments, Inc. (the "Selling Agent"), up to
$2,000,000 of 15% secured notes due October 19, 2000 (the "Notes") along
with warrants to purchase Class A common stock (the "Warrants"). At
December 31, 1998, the Company had raised $370,000 through the Offering.
The Company raised a total of $470,000 as of March 31, 1999 and the
Offering closed on February 8, 1999.
The Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets now owned and
hereafter acquired by the Company, including the assets acquired from
LanXtra in February 1999. There is no pre-payment penalty.
In connection with the Offering, the Company granted note holders warrants
to purchase 1,200 shares of the Company's Class A common stock for every
$10,000 of Notes Payable purchased. Accordingly, at December 31, 1998,
the Company had issued warrants for 44,400 shares, and in February 1999,
issued warrants for an additional 12,000 shares. Such warrants had an
exercise price of $0.01 per share. These detachable warrants were valued
at a total of $169,660 utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model,
assuming a volatility factor of 70%, a risk free interest rate of 4.31%
and a fair market value of the underlying common stock of $3 per share.
All warrants were exercised prior to March 31, 1999.
Revolving Line of Credit
------------------------
As part of the Purchase Agreement, a $600,000 Revolving Line of Credit was
assumed by the Company. The maturity date of the line of credit was
extended to December 31, 1999 and interest accrues at a rate equal to the
Bank's reference rate plus 1.5% (9.25% at March 31, 1999 and December 31,
1998). The Revolving Line of Credit is collateralized by letters of
credit issued by the Company and certain LanXtra stockholders as well as
by agreements among certain LanXtra stockholders. No additional amounts
may be drawn upon the line of credit.
Notes Payable to Stockholders
-----------------------------
The Company assumed notes payable to certain LanXtra stockholders as part
of the Purchase Agreement. The maturity date on these notes was extended
to the date on which Cavion obtains 100 credit union customers (the "100
Credit Union Date"). Management believes the 100 Credit Union Date will
be reached on or before December 31, 1999. In addition, interest terms
were amended such that no interest will accrue for the remaining term of
the notes payable. At the acquisition date, the notes were discounted to
reflect their fair value. The discount is being amortized as interest
expense over the remaining estimated term of the notes.
As additional consideration for shareholder notes with a face value of
$240,000, LanXtra issued 28,648 shares of its putable common stock. These
putable shares were exchanged for 28,648 shares of the Company's Class B
putable common stock. The Lenders have the right to sell these shares
back to the Company for a purchase price of $7 per share, 30 days after
the 100 Credit Union Date is reached, or can convert these shares into
equivalent shares of Class A common stock. As a result of this
transaction, the Class B shares have been recorded at their estimated fair
value of $167,197. The difference between this amount and the put value
is being accreted as interest expense over the estimated term of the
notes.
Related Party Collateralized Loans
----------------------------------
The Company also assumed certain factoring agreements (the "Agreements")
with management and a stockholder of the Company as part of the Purchase
Agreement. The interest terms were amended such that no interest will be
accrued for the remaining term of the loans and the maturity of these
loans was extended to the 100 Credit Union Date.
Maturities of Borrowings

The maturities of the Company's borrowings are as follows:

(4) CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
-------------------------
The Company assumed several capital lease agreements related to computers
and various office equipment in conjunction with the Purchase Agreement.
The Company has also entered into additional capital lease agreements
during the period ending March 31, 1999. The capital leases have terms
ranging from 24 to 36 months with interest rates ranging between 11.4% and
20.3%.
As of March 31, 1999, the present value of future minimum lease payments
are as follows:

The net book value of assets under capital lease obligations as of March

(5) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
--------------------
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.0001 per share. The common stock is segregated into two classes;
Class A and Class B. Of the 20,000,000 shares of common stock, 19,970,000
are designated as Class A and 30,000 are designated as Class B.
Class A Common Stock
--------------------
At March 31, 1999, 3,006,210 shares of Class A common stock were issued
and outstanding. Two million shares were issued for consideration of
$.0001 per share (par value). Certain LanXtra shareholders and management
were issued 625,356 shares for cash consideration of $.01 per share. The
estimated fair value assigned to these shares was $3 per share which is
consistent with the value assigned to the 375,214 shares issued to LanXtra
in February 1999. The holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one
vote for each share held on record on each matter submitted to a vote of
shareholders. Cumulative voting for election of directors is not
permitted. Holders of Class A common stock have no preemptive rights or
rights to convert their Class A common stock into any other securities.
Class B Common Stock
--------------------
As of March 31, 1999, there were 28,648 shares of the Class B voting
common stock issued and outstanding. These shares were issued in exchange
for similar securities of LanXtra as partial consideration for the
purchase of LanXtra's business, and are callable by the Company at $7 per
share. The holders of Class B common stock have the right to sell the
Class B common stock to the Company at $7 per share or convert their
shares to equivalent units of Class A common stock at the 100 Credit Union
Date. The Class B common stock was authorized so that the Company could
exchange its Class B common stock for LanXtra's existing nonvoting putable
common stock with similar terms.
Preferred Stock
---------------
In February 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company, without
further action by the shareholders, to issue 10,000,000 shares of one or
more series of preferred stock at a par value of $.0001, all of which is
nonvoting. The Board of Directors may, without shareholder approval,
determine the dividend rates, redemption prices, preferences on
liquidation or dissolution, conversion rights, voting rights and any other
preferences. In addition, the Company authorized the sale of 770,000
shares of Series A convertible preferred stock in conjunction with a
private placement offering of the stock. Each share of the Series A
preferred stock is convertible at any time at the holder's option into an
equal number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company at a
conversion price initially equal to the offering price, which was
established at $3 per share. Each share of the Series A preferred stock
is automatically convertible into an equal number of Class A shares, if
the Company completes a qualified initial public offering, which
Management believes will occur in 1999 (see Note 9). In addition, each
share of the Series A preferred stock is convertible into Class A shares
at the option of the Company beginning on January 1, 2004. The Series A
preferred stock will entitle each holder to receive cumulative
preferential dividends at the rate of 5% per year, payable in cash or in
shares of the Company's Class A common stock quarterly. The Series A
preferred stock also entitles the holder to a liquidation preference at a
liquidation value which is initially equal to two times the offering
price.
As of March 31, 1999, the Company sold 567,000 shares of Series A
preferred stock at $3 per share, raising proceeds of $1,701,000 before
offering costs. Subsequent to March 31, 1999, an additional 133,000
shares were sold, also at $3 per share.
Warrants
--------
In conjunction with the Series A preferred stock offering, the Placement
Agent received warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Series A
preferred stock as compensation. As of June 30, 1999, 70,000 warrants
were issued to the Placement Agent. The warrants can be exercised over a
five year period at an exercise price of $3.
The Company issued warrants with the private placement of notes payable
which allow the purchase of 1,200 shares of the Company's Class A common
stock for every $10,000 of notes payable. The exercise price was $0.01
per share. Originally, the warrant exercise period was for a period of
one year beginning on the maturity date of the notes payable. On December
22, 1998, the Company accelerated the exercise period to begin immediately
and end one year after each note's issuance date. All holders of warrants
at that date elected to immediately exercise their warrants. Warrants for
44,400 shares of Class A common stock were issued and exercised at
December 31, 1998. In the three months ended March 31, 1999, warrants for
an additional 12,000 shares of Class A common stock were issued and
immediately exercised.
The Company redeemed 17,640 and 44,400 shares of Class A common stock from
its existing shareholders for a redemption price of $.0001 per share
during the periods ended March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively. The redeemed shares were reissued in connection with the
exercise of the warrants issued to note holders and the Selling Agent
(discussed below).
As part of the Selling Agent's compensation, the Company agreed to issue
additional warrants for the Company's Class A common stock. The warrants
are exercisable at any time during a five-year term at 110% of the price
paid by the holders of the Notes for the Class A common stock. At
December 31, 1998, the Selling Agent earned the right to purchase 4,440
shares of the Company's Class A common stock at an exercise price of $.011
per share. At March 31, 1999, the Selling Agent earned the right to
purchase an additional 1,200 shares under the same terms. The 4,440
warrants outstanding at December 31, 1998, were valued at a total of
$13,284 and the additional 1,200 warrants were valued at $3,590, utilizing
the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a volatility factor of
70%, a risk free interest rate of 4.31% and a fair market value of the
underlying shares of $3 per share. The warrants were recorded as debt
issuance costs and are being amortized into interest expense over the life
of the debt. All such warrants were exercised prior to March 31, 1999.
Stock Options
-------------
Effective March 19, 1999, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the
"Plan"). The Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options and restricted stock to designated employees,
officers, directors, advisors and independent contractors. The Plan
authorizes the issuance of up to 750,000 shares of Class A common stock.
Under the Plan, the exercise price per share of a non-qualified stock
option must be equal to at least 50% of the fair market value of the
common stock at the grant date, and the exercise price per share of an
incentive stock option must equal the fair market value of the common
stock at the grant date. Through March 31, 1999, options for 345,000
shares of Class A common stock have been issued under the Plan. The
outstanding stock options have an exercise price of $3.00 per share and
vest over various terms with a maximum vesting period of 18 months and
expire after a maximum of 10 years.
The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Plan:

Under the fair value approach of SFAS 123, the total fair value of options
granted to employees under the Plan during 1999 was approximately
$113,646. If the Company had accounted for its stock option plan in
accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and pro forma net loss
would have been reported as follows:

</TABLE>
The fair value of each employee option grant was estimated on the date of
the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used
to calculate the fair value were risk free interest rates of 4.48% to
4.99%, no dividend yields, volatility of 0.001% and an expected life of
five years.
In March 1999, the Company granted options for 65,000 shares of Class A
common stock to non-employees in exchange for services. The fair value of
these options on the date of grant was approximately $47,000. Expense
related to such options will be recorded over the term the services are
provided. The fair value of each non-employee option grant was estimated
on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Assumptions used to calculate the fair value were risk free interest rates
of 4.48% to 4.99%, no dividend yields, an expected life of five years and
volatility of 100%.
(6) INCOME TAXES
------------
From its inception, the Company has generated losses for both financial
reporting and tax purposes. In conjunction with the Purchase Agreement,
the Company obtained the right to LanXtra's net operating loss ("NOL")
carryforward, which was fully offset by a valuation allowance. At March
31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had a NOL carryforward for
income tax purposes of $2,001,000 and $12,459, respectively. The NOL is
subject to examination by the tax authorities and expire in various years
through 2019. A portion of the NOL is subject to limitations on use as
determined by the Internal Revenue Code. The NOL, as well as expenses not
yet deductible for tax purposes, resulted in a deferred tax asset of
approximately $770,000 and $7,000 at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively. Due to the uncertainty relating to the realization of the
benefit of the deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance has been recorded
for the full amount. The difference between the statutory tax rate and
the effective tax rate is due to the following:

</TABLE>
The Company has acquired a NOL carryforward of approximately $1.4 million
from LanXtra. If the Company generates sufficient taxable income to allow
it to utilize this NOL, such utilization will reduce cash tax payments due
by the Company as well as the amount of goodwill carried by the Company.
(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
Legal Matters
-------------
In connection with the Purchase Agreement transaction, a shareholder of
LanXtra exercised his rights as a dissenting shareholder. The Company
assumed LanXtra's obligation (if any) to this dissenting shareholder. If
the shareholder is permitted to pursue his claim in a legal proceeding,
LanXtra could be required to pay the shareholder the fair value of his
shares immediately before the closing date of the Purchase Agreement. The
Company's and LanXtra's management believes that the value paid on account
of these shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is greater than the
amount which the dissenting shareholder could recover under Colorado law.
The dissenting shareholder has asserted that the value of his 50,000
LanXtra shares immediately before the closing date of the Purchase
Agreement would be approximately $250,000. The ultimate resolution of the
matter, which is expected to occur within one year, could result in an
obligation to such shareholder. Further, should LanXtra, or Cavion as
successor, be required to make a payment to this shareholder, such payment
could result in the purchase transaction being treated as a taxable
transaction which could subject Cavion to a significant tax liability.
In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company may become legally
obligated to satisfy additional liabilities of LanXtra, including
liabilities arising on or after the closing date with respect to LanXtra's
assets or business. To date, no liabilities other than those identified
in the Purchase Agreement have arisen, however, other liabilities could
arise in the future. Any such liabilities would be evaluated in the
Company's determination of the fair value of liabilities assumed from
LanXtra.
(8) ACQUISITION OF LANXTRA BUSINESS
-------------------------------
As discussed above, the Company acquired the business of LanXtra on
February 1, 1999. The following is pro forma operating information. For
purposes of the pro forma statement of operations, the transaction was
assumed to be consummated on January 1, 1998. Pro forma earnings per
share are calculated as if the Purchase Agreement was completed on January
1, 1998 and the related 1,029,218 shares of common stock were issued on
that date.
The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998
is as follows:

(9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
-----------------
The Company intends to file an initial public offering with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to sell 1,200,000 shares of it's common stock in
the second quarter of 1999. There can be no guarantee that such offering
will be completed.
In April 1999, the Company repurchased 299,884 shares of Class A common
stock issued to its majority shareholders for a price of $.0001 per share
in satisfaction of an agreement to adjust share ownership following the
closing of the Purchase Agreement and the final determination of certain
factors in April 1999.
Change in Repayment Date (Unaudited)
- ------------------------------------
The Company has obligations (see Note 3) which had repayment terms based
upon the Company's achievement of the 100 Credit Union Date. On May 28,
1999, such repayment terms were modified such that these obligations must
be repaid on the date that the initial public offering discussed above is
completed. The June 30, 1999 unaudited financial statements have been
prepared to reflect the changes in the repayment terms of these
obligations.

Information not Required in Prospectus
ITEM 24. Indemnification of directors and officers.
The only statute, bylaw, contract or arrangement under which any
controlling person, director or officer of cavion.com is insured or
indemnified in any matter against liability which he may incur in his
capacity as such, are as follows:
Article VIII of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of
cavion.com include the following provisions:
Indemnification
(a) The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law in effect from time to time, any person, and the estate
and personal representative of any such person, against all liability and
expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while
serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, such person is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of, or in any similar managerial or
fiduciary position of, another domestic or foreign corporation or other
individual or entity or of an employee benefit plan. The Corporation
shall also indemnify any person who is serving or has served the
Corporation as director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, and that
person's estate and personal representative, to the extent and in the
manner provided in any bylaw, resolution of the shareholders or directors,
contract, or otherwise, so long as such provision is legally permissible.
(b) The Corporation shall pay for or reimburse the reasonable
expenses incurred by a director or officer who is a party to a proceeding
in advance of final disposition of the preceding if:
(i) the director or officer furnishes to the Corporation a
written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met
the standard of conduct described in Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado
Business Corporation Act;
(ii) the director or officer furnishes to the Corporation a
written undertaking, executed personally or on the director's or officer's
behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she
did not meet the standard of conduct; and
(iii) a determination is made that the facts known to those
making the determination would not preclude indemnification under Article
109 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act.
Article V of the Bylaws of cavion.com includes the following
provisions:
1. Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify any person
against all liability and expense incurred by reason of the person being
or having been a director or officer of the Corporation to the full extent
and in any manner that directors may be indemnified under the Colorado
Business Corporation Act, as in effect at any time. The Corporation shall
also indemnify any person who is serving or has served the Corporation as
director or officer to the extent and in any manner provided in any bylaw,
resolution of the directors or shareholders, contract or otherwise, so
long as such provision is legally permissible. In the discretion of the
board of directors, the Corporation may indemnify an employee, fiduciary
or agent who is not a director or officer to the same extent as a director
or officer.
2. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of this Corporation or who, while a director, officer,
employee, fiduciary, or agent of this Corporation, is or was serving at
the request of this Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee,
employee, fiduciary, or agent of any other entity (including without
limitation an employee benefit plan), against any liability asserted
against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from his or
her status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether
or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify the person against
the same liability under this Article. Any such insurance may be procured
from any insurance company designated by the board of directors, whether
such insurance company is formed under this state or any other
jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance
company in which the Corporation has equity or any other interest through
stock ownership or otherwise.
3. Notice to shareholders of indemnification of director. If the
Corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director in connection
with a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, the Corporation
shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to the
shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders' meeting.
If the next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the
instigation of the board of directors, such notice shall be given to the
shareholders at or before the time the first shareholder signs a writing
consenting to such action.
4. Indemnification nonexclusive; inurement. The indemnification
provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
and procedures to which the indemnified party may be entitled under the
articles of incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of the shareholders
or directors, contract or otherwise. Such indemnification shall continue
as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs,
personal representatives and administrators.
The provisions of Article 109 of the Colorado Revised Statutes on
indemnification are as follows:
Section 7-109-101. Definitions. As used in this article:
(1) "Corporation" includes any domestic or foreign entity that is a
predecessor of a corporation by reason of a merger or other transaction in
which the predecessor's existence ceased upon consummation of the
transaction.
(2) "Director" means an individual who is or was a director of a
corporation or an individual who, while a director of a corporation, is or
was serving at the corporation's request as a director, an officer, an
agent, an associate, an employee, a fiduciary, a manager, a member, a
partner, a promoter, or a trustee of, or to hold any similar position
with, another domestic or foreign corporation or other person or of an
employee benefit plan. A director is considered to be serving an employee
benefit plan at the corporation's request if the director's duties to the
corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, the
director to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.
"Director" includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or
personal representative of a director.
(3) "Expenses" includes counsel fees.
(4) "Liability" means the obligation incurred with respect to a
proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an
excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or
reasonable expenses.
(5) "Official capacity," means, when used with respect to a
director, the office of director in a corporation and, when used with
respect to a person other than a director as contemplated by Section 7-109-
107, the office in a corporation held by the officer or the employment,
fiduciary, or agency relationship undertaken by the employee, fiduciary,
or agent on behalf of the corporation. "Official capacity" does not
include service for any other domestic or foreign corporation or other
person or employee benefit plan.
(6) "Party" includes a person who was, is, or is threatened to be
made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.
(7) "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative and whether formal or informal.
Section 7-109-102 . Authority to indemnify directors. (1) Except
as provided in subsection (4) of this section, a corporation may indemnify
a person made a party to a proceeding because the person is or was a
director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:
(a) The person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and
(b) He reasonably believed:
(I) In the case of conduct in an official capacity with
the corporation, that his or her conduct was in the corporation's best
interests; and
(II) In all other cases, that his or her conduct was at
least not opposed to the corporation's best interests; and
(c) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
(2) A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan
for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of
the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies
the requirements of subparagraph (II) of paragraph (b) of section (1) of
this section. A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit
plan for a purpose that the director did not reasonably believe to be in
the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan shall
not be deemed not to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (a) of
subsection (1) of this section.
(3) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of
itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of
conduct described in this section.
(4) A corporation may not indemnify a director under this section:
(a) In connection with any proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation;
or
(b) In connection with any proceeding charging that the
director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving
action in an official capacity, in which proceeding the director was
adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal
benefit.
(5) Indemnification permitted under this section in connection with
a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Section 7-109-103. Mandatory indemnification of directors. Unless
limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a
person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense
of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or
was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in
connection with the proceeding.
Section 7-107-104. Advance of expenses to directors. (1) A
corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a
director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding if:
(a) The director furnishes to the corporation a written
affirmation of the director's good faith belief that he or she has met the
standard of conduct described in section 7-109-102;
(b) The director furnishes to the corporation a written
undertaking, executed personally or on the director's behalf, to repay the
advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the
standard of conduct; and
(c) A determination is made that the facts then known to those
making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this
article.
(2) The undertaking required by paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of
this section shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but
need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial
ability to make repayment.
(3) Determinations and authorizations of payments under this section
shall be made in the manner specified in section 7-109-106.
Section 7-109-105. Court ordered indemnification of directors. (1)
Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a director who
is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification to the
court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent
jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving any
notice the court considers necessary, may order indemnification in the
following manner:
(a) If it determines that the director is entitled to mandatory
indemnification under section 7-109-103, the court shall order
indemnification, in which case the court shall also order the corporation
to pay the director's reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered
indemnification.
(b) If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances,
whether or not the director met the standard of conduct set forth in
section 7-109-102(1) or was adjudged liable in the circumstances described
in section 7-109-102(4), the court may order such indemnification as the
court deems proper; except that the indemnification with respect to any
proceeding in which liability shall have been adjudged in the
circumstances described in section 7-109-102(4) is limited to reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and reasonable
expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.
Section 7-109-106. Determination and authorization of
indemnification of directors.
(1) A corporation may not indemnify a director under section 7-109-
102 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been
made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the
circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set
forth in section 7-109-102. A corporation shall not advance expenses to a
director under section 7-109-104 unless authorized in the specific case
after the written affirmation and undertaking required by section 7-109-
104(1)(a) and (1)(b) are received and the determination required by
section 7-109-104(1)(c) has been made.
(2) The determinations required by subsection (1) of this section
shall be made:
(a) By the board of directors by a majority vote of those
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, and only those
directors not parties to the proceeding shall be counted in satisfying the
quorum; or
(b) If a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a
committee of the board of directors designated by the board or directors,
which committee shall consist of two or more directors not parties to the
proceeding; except that directors who are parties to the proceeding may
participate in the designation of directors for the committee.
(3) If a quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in paragraph (a)
of subsection (2) of this section, and a committee cannot be established
under paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of this section, or, even if a
quorum is obtained or a committee is designated, if a majority of the
directors constituting such quorum or such committee so directs, the
determination required to be made by subsection (1) of this section shall
be made:
(a) By independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the
board of directors or the committee in the manner specified in paragraph
(a) or (b) of subsection (2) of this section or, if a quorum of the full
board cannot be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by
independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of the full board of
directors; or
(b) By the shareholders.
(4) Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall
be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification or
advance of expenses is permissible; except that, if the determination that
indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible is made by
independent legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and advance of
expenses shall be made by the body that selected said counsel.
Section 7-109-107. Indemnification of officers, employees,
fiduciaries, and agents. (1) Unless otherwise provided in the articles
of incorporation:
(a) An officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification under
section 7-109-103, and is entitled to apply for court-ordered
indemnification under section 7-109-105, in each case to the same extent
as a director;
(b) A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an
officer, fiduciary, employee, or agent of the corporation to the same
extent as a director; and
(c) A corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an
officer, employee, fiduciaries, or agent who is not a director to a
greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided
for by its bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or
shareholders, or a contract.
Section 7-109-108. Insurance. A corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director,
officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a
director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation, is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of any other domestic or
foreign corporation or other person, or of an employee benefit plan,
against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that
capacity or arising from his or her status as a director, officer,
employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify the person against the same liability under section
7-109-102, 7-109-103, or 7-109-107. Any such insurance may be procured
from any insurance company designated by the board of directors, whether
such insurance company is formed under the laws of this state or any other
jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance
company in which the corporation has equity or any other interest through
stock ownership or otherwise.
Section 7-109-109. Limitation of indemnification of directors. (1)
A provision treating a corporation's indemnification of, or advance of
expenses to, directors that is contained in its articles of incorporation
or bylaws, in a resolution of its shareholders or board of directors, or
in a contract, except an insurance policy, or otherwise, is valid only to
the extent the provision is not consistent with sections 7-109-101 to 7-
109-108. If the articles of incorporation limit indemnification or
advances of expenses, indemnification and advance of expenses are valid
only to the extent not inconsistent with the articles of incorporation.
(a) Sections 7-109-101 to 7-109-108 do not limit a
corporation's power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in
connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when
he or she has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the
proceeding.
Section 7-109-110. Notice to shareholders of indemnification of
director. If a corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director
under this article in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of
the corporation, the corporation shall give written notice of the
indemnification or advance to the shareholders with or before the notice
of the next shareholders' meeting. If the next shareholder action is
taken without a meeting at the instigation of the board of directors, such
notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before the time the first
shareholder signs a writing consenting to such action.
Section 7-108-402(2) of the Colorado Revised Statutes states as
follows:
No director or officer shall be personally liable for any injury to
person or property arising out of a tort committed by an employee unless
such director or officer was personally involved in the situation giving
rise to the litigation or unless such director or director committed a
criminal offense in connection with such situation. The protection
afforded in this subsection (2) shall not restrict other common-law
protections and rights that an director or officer may have. This
subsection (2) shall not restrict the corporation's right to eliminate or
limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or to its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director as provided in subsection (1) of this section.
Article VII of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of
cavion.com includes the following provision:
A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
Corporation or to its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director; except that this provision shall not
eliminate or limit the liability of the director to the Corporation or to
its shareholders for monetary damages otherwise existing for (i) any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or to its
shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) acts specified
in Section 7-108-403 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act; or (iv) any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
If the Colorado Business Corporation Act is later amended to eliminate or
limit further the liability of a director, then, in addition to the
elimination and limitation of liability provided by the preceding
sentence, the liability of each director shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado Business Corporation Act as
so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article VII shall not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation
under this Article VII, as in effect immediately prior to such repeal or
modification, with respect to any liability that would have accrued, but
for this Article VII, prior to such repeal or modification.
Also, cavion.com has entered into indemnification agreements with the
officers and directors to indemnify them and to advance expenses to the
fullest extent permitted by law either in connection with the
investigation, defense, adjudication, settlement or appeal of a proceeding
or in connection with establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification
or advancement of expenses. In addition, the agreements provide that no
claim or cause of action may be asserted by cavion.com against any
director or officer after two years from the date of the alleged act or
omission, provided that if in fact the person has fraudulently concealed
the facts, then no claim or cause of action may be asserted after two
years from the earlier of the date cavion.com discovers the facts or the
date cavion.com should have discovered such facts by the exercise of
reasonable diligence. The term of the agreement and cavion.com's
obligations apply while the person is an agent of cavion.com and continues
so long as the person is subject to any claim by reason of the fact that
he or she served as an agent of cavion.com.
In addition, the Underwriting Agreement for our initial public
offering provides for indemnification by the Representative of cavion.com,
its directors and officers against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons
controlling cavion.com as provided in the foregoing provisions, cavion.com
has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and thus cannot be enforced.
ITEM 25. Other expenses of issuance and distribution.

ITEM 26. Recent sales of unregistered securities.
Founders shares. In August 1998, we issued 2,000,000 shares of
$.0001 common stock to our two founding shareholders at $.0001 per share.
These issuances to the two accredited investors were effected without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the
exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Act. As
founding shareholders, they had access to complete information regarding
our business at the time of issuance.
1998-1999 private placement of notes and warrants. On October 20,
1998, we began conducting a private placement and between October 27, 1998
and February 8, 1999, we issued $470,000 in 15% secured promissory notes
due October 19, 2000 and a total of 56,400 warrants to purchase shares of
Class A common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. We relied on
the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act and Rule 505 of Regulation D adopted under the Act, as well as
exemptions under various state securities laws. The securities were sold
to 13 private investors. One was an accredited investor and 12 were
sophisticated investors. Investors received private placement memorandum
documents relating to the sale of the assets of LanXtra to cavion.com
which closed in February 1999 and the loan from cavion.com to LanXtra
which has since been extinguished. Between December 28, 1998 and February
8, 1999, all of the warrants were exercised. In connection with the
offering, the agent for the offering, First Capital Investments, Inc. was
issued an agent warrant to purchase 5,640 shares of Class A common stock
at $.01 per share which was exercised on February 8, 1999. In addition,
First Capital received a total offering commission of $37,600.
Management shares. In December 1998, we issued 625,356 shares of
Class A common stock to our management shareholders at $.01 per share.
These issuances to the three sophisticated investors were effected without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the
exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Act. As
these individuals were part of management at the time the shares were
issued, they had access to complete information regarding our business at
the time of issuance.
LanXtra asset purchase. In February 1999, we issued 375,214 shares
of Class A common stock and 28,648 shares of Class B common stock to
LanXtra, Inc. in exchange for the assets and liabilities of LanXtra. This
issuance was effected without registration under the Securities Act of
1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section
4(2) of the Act, relating to the sale of securities by an issuer not
involving a public offering. Since cavion.com was formed to purchase the
assets and liabilities of LanXtra, the management and shareholders of
LanXtra had access to complete information regarding our business at the
time of issuance.
1999 private placement of preferred stock. In March and April 1999,
we issued 700,000 shares of convertible preferred stock, Series A,
convertible into Class A common stock, for an aggregate of $2,100,000,
prior to expenses and commissions. The initial conversion price was $3.00
per share of Class A common stock, but the conversion price was subject to
adjustment upon certain events affecting cavion.com's capitalization. The
shares of preferred stock will automatically convert into Class A common
stock upon the earlier to occur of (i) consummation of a public offering
of common stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or (ii) the
date specified in a notice thereof delivered by cavion.com on any date
after January 1, 2000. The securities were sold in reliance on the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
and Rule 506 of Regulation D adopted thereunder, as well as exemptions
under various state securities laws. The offering was sold to accredited
investors only. Investors received a private placement memorandum
including financial statements. In connection with the offering, the
agent for the offering, NTB was issued a five year agent warrant to
purchase 70,000 shares of preferred stock at an exercise price of $3.00
per share. In addition, NTB received a commission of $210,000 and a non-
accountable expense allowance of $42,000.
August 1999 private placement of notes and warrants. In August 1999
we raised $300,000 through the issuance of 14% promissory notes along with
warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock. Each $50,000 note
entitled the subscriber to warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of Class A
common stock. The notes are due on the first to occur of the closing of
this offering or one year from the date of their issuance. The warrants
are exercisable for period of five years, beginning on the first to occur
of the closing of this offering or one year from the date of their
issuance. The warrant exercise price is the price at which common stock
is offered in this offering, or, if this offering does not close within
one year of the date of the issuance of the warrants, then at $6.00 per
share. The notes and warrants were sold to 4 accredited investors. We
relied on the exemption from registration provided by Sections 4(2) and
4(6) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D adopted under the
Act, as well as exemptions under various state securities laws.
With respect to all of the foregoing offerings, the securities were
offered for investment only and not for the purposes of resale or
distribution, and the transfer thereof was appropriately restricted by us.
Each certificate representing the above shares contains a legend
indicating that such shares are restricted and may not be sold without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to an available
exemption from such registration. The notes and the warrants, before the
exercise of warrants for shares of Class A common stock, contain a similar
legend. In addition, all of the shares of common and preferred stock are
subject to lock-up arrangements with the underwriter except for 5,000
shares issuable on exercise of the warrants issued to one new shareholder
in our August 1999 private placement of notes and warrants.
As provided in agreements with our founding shareholders, Venture
Funding, Ltd. and Boutine Capital, LLC, out of their initial purchases of
Class A common stock in August 1998, we redeemed 56,400 of their shares
for the exercise of the warrants in the October 1998 private placement,
603 shares were transferred by them to each of our management
shareholders, Craig Lassen, David J. Selina, and Jeffrey W. Marshall,
1,085 shares were transferred by them to LanXtra, Inc. and we redeemed an
additional 299,884 shares which were returned to authorized, but unissued
shares of our Class A common stock.
The following sets forth the owner, amount of notes, warrants,
shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, preferred stock, as
well as the price paid by the purchasers in our private placements of
notes, warrants, Class A common stock, Class B common stock and preferred
stock:

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of cavion.com according to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, cavion.com has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and so it cannot be enforced. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the
payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of cavion.com 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, cavion.com
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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
(1) To treat the information omitted from this form of prospectus
filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A
and contained in a form of prospectus filed by us under Rule 424(b)(1), or
(4) or 497(h) under the Act as part of this registration statement as of
the time the Securities and Exchange Commission declared it effective.
(2) To treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in
the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that
time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
We undertake with respect to the securities being offered and
sold in this offering:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post- effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Act;
(b) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement, or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof, which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement; and
(c) to include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Act,
each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement of the securities offered in the registration
statement, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities which remain unsold at the end of the
offering.

Customer with the "Services" as described in this Agreement and as
described in the schedules attached hereto (the "Schedules"). All
such Schedules shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and any terms or conditions printed on the Schedules. The
term "Services", when used in a Schedule hereto, shall refer to the
services to be provided under that Schedule only.
2. TERM. The term (the "Term") of this Agreement shall begin on the
Commencement Date. For purposes of this Agreement and each Schedule,
the "Commencement Date" shall be the first day of the month following
the month in which the Effective Date occurs (unless the Effective
Date is the first day of a month, in which case the Effective Date
and the Commencement Date shall be the same.) The Term shall end
upon expiration or termination by Company in accordance with the
terms hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Effective Date"
shall be the date referenced on the face of this Agreement, except to
the extent stated otherwise in a Schedule hereto. Within ten (10)
days of the date Company informs Customer that installation is
complete, Customer shall execute the Certificate of Acceptance,
evidencing Customer's acceptance of the equipment described in an
Equipment Schedule hereto (the "Equipment") and installation
described in this Agreement. In the event that Customer fails to so
deliver the executed Certificate of Acceptance, Customer will be
deemed to have accepted delivery and installation as complete upon
such tenth day. Customer acknowledges that no Services (except the
delivery and installation of Equipment) shall be provided hereunder
or in connection with any amendment or Schedule until Customer
executes the Certificate of Acceptance.
3. PAYMENT. Payment of the Service Fee shall be made monthly in advance
for each month during the Term, beginning with the first payment of
the Service Fee on the Effective Date of this Agreement, and
continuing on the first day of each month thereafter. If the
Effective Date is other than the first day of the month, Customer
shall make an initial payment in an amount equal to the Service Fee
divided by thirty (30), multiplied by the number of days from the
Effective Date to (but not including) the Commencement Date.
Whenever any payment by Customer is past due, Customer shall pay to
Company, as an additional fee, interest on the payment amount until
and including the date payment is received, at the rate of 1.5% per
month or the maximum allowable rate of interest permitted by
applicable law. Customer shall be liable for all costs incurred in
collection of past due balances including but not limited to
collection fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, filing fees and court
costs. Customer agrees and acknowledges that all payments of the
Service Fee, at Company's option, shall be made by electronic
transfer from Customer's bank account to Company or Company's
designated bank account and Customer, upon Company's request, shall
execute all documents reasonably necessary to authorize and
effectuate such means of payment. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THE
PERFORMANCE OF ALL PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS BY CUSTOMER. Subject to the
Interruption or Unavailability of Service provision below, Customer's
agreement to pay Service Fees hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be subject to any abatement, reduction,
set-off, defense, or counterclaim for any reason whatsoever. Company
reserves the right to require Customer to make a deposit, or provide
a letter of credit satisfactory to Company, in the event (i) Customer
is a new account and has no credit history; (ii) Customer's account
is past due more than twenty-nine (29) days; or, (iii) Customer
indicates an unwillingness or inability to pay. In the event that
Customer fails to provide Company with the required deposit or letter
of credit, Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
in accordance with the Default and Remedies provision below.

in any writing executed by the parties, including without limitation
the authority to execute amendments to this Agreement as defined
below. If during the Term of this Agreement, Customer wishes to
change the Contact Person(s), Customer shall notify Company in
writing of the name, address, and telephone numbers of the new
Contact Person(s).
5. ACCESS TO PREMISES. With respect to Services to be performed on
property owned by Customer, Customer represents that it has the
authority to allow and does grant Company the right of ingress and
egress over Customer's real property and further grants Company a
license to provide those Services described in any Schedule issued
hereunder within the premises described therein. With respect to
Services to be performed for Customer on property not owned by
Customer, it shall be Customer's responsibility to secure, at its own
cost, prior to the commencement of any Services, any necessary rights
of entry, licenses, permits or other permission necessary for
Company to provide Services. Company shall not be liable for delay
in performance or nonperformance of any term or condition of this
Agreement directly or indirectly resulting from Customer's denial to
Company of full and free access to Customer's systems and components
thereof, or Customer's denial to Company of full and free access to
Customer's personnel or premises pursuant to this Agreement essential
for completion of the Services.

modification of the work by anyone other than Company or an
organization certified by Company ( "Force Majeure event").

equipment or system.
6.5. EXCEPT FOR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY COMPANY'S NEGLIGENCE
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF COMPANY AND ITS

knowledge relating to the other party in any manner except as is
necessary to implement this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing,
Company reserves the right to disclose Customer data for purposes of
financing to its Assigns, as defined below. Such Assigns will be
bound by a confidentiality agreement similar to this Paragraph before
any data is disclosed.
9. EMPLOYMENT RECRUITMENT. Customer acknowledges that Company provides
a valuable service by identifying and assigning personnel to provide
Services to Customer. Customer further acknowledges that the Customer
would receive substantial additional value and Company would be
deprived of the benefits of Company's work force, if Customer were to
directly hire Company's personnel after they have been introduced to
Customer. As such, Customer shall not, without the prior written
consent of Company, recruit or hire any personnel of Company who are
or have been assigned to perform services during the Term of this
Agreement and until one year after the expiration of this Agreement.
In the event that Customer breaches this Section, Customer shall pay
Company a recruiting fee equal to two (2) times the total annual
compensation paid to Company's employee by Company.
10. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party shall assign all or part of this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the other, which consent will

TO CONVERGENT CAPITAL CORPORATION OR ANOTHER FINANCING ORGANIZATION
("ASSIGN(S)") FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINANCING PROVIDED THAT COMPANY
REMAINS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH ASSIGNMENT TO AN ASSIGN, THE
CUSTOMER SHALL NOT ASSERT ANY DEFENSES COUNTERCLAIM OR SET-OFF
AGAINST THE ASSIGN. Any such assignment shall be subject to
Customer's right to possess and use the Equipment, and shall not
release any of Company's obligations hereunder. To the extent that
an approved assignment by Customer occurs, the terms and conditions
of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of
the parties hereto.
11. INSURANCE. Customer, at its own expense, shall insure the Equipment
at full replacement cost against an Event of Loss (as defined in the
Equipment Schedule hereto, if any) and shall evidence such insurance
by providing Company with an insurance certificate within 10 days of
the Effective Date ("Insurance Certificate"). The Insurance
Certificate shall be issued by an insurance carrier reasonably
acceptable to Company and shall name the Company and its Assigns as
additional insured. The proceeds of such insurance, if any, shall be
used at Company's discretion to either: (i) pay for the replacement
of the Equipment; or (ii) be applied to Customer's payment obligation
hereunder. If applied to Customer's payment obligation, the proceeds
will be discounted at the then current yield of the one year US
Treasury Note and applied to the most time-distant payments first.
The Insurance Certificate shall state that in the event the insurance
coverage is reduced or canceled, then thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of such event, the insurer will inform Company and any

foreign, federal, state, county or local government or taxing
authority, and any penalties, fines or interest thereon, which are
imposed against, upon or relating to the Equipment or Services or the
use, registration, rental, shipment, transportation, delivery,
ownership or operation thereof, and on or relating to the Service Fee
hereunder, but shall not include any taxes solely based upon or
measured by the income of the Company. Customer further agrees to

Any tax returns filed by Customer shall show Company as the owner of
the Equipment. Customer's Service Fee does not include any
applicable sales, use or personal property tax. If any taxes are
due, Customer agrees to pay the tax in addition to Customer's monthly
Service Fee.
13. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. Customer shall provide to Company all
instruments and assurances deemed necessary by Company for the
confirmation or perfection of Company's rights hereunder. Customer
authorizes Company or its Assign to file financing statements (with
respect to the Equipment) signed only by Company or the Assign or
signed by Company or the Assign on behalf of Customer, as Customer's
attorney in fact. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is not
intended to be a secured transaction, as defined by Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code. In the event that this Agreement is deemed
to constitute a secured transaction, Customer acknowledges that
Customer has granted to Company or the Assign, concurrent with
execution of this Agreement, a first priority security interest in
the Equipment and any additions, attachments, upgrades, accessions,
repairs, modifications, replacements thereto and proceeds thereof,
including insurance proceeds, to secure Customer's payment of the
Service Fee and all other payment obligations when due, and
Customer's performance of all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Customer agrees to reimburse Company for any expenses
incurred in preparing and filing such financing statements and other
related documentation costs.
14. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
14.1 If Customer shall (i) fail to make payment within ten (10)
days after it becomes due, or breaches one or more of its other
obligations hereunder without correcting the same within 30 days
of written notice (or, where correction cannot be made within
such 30 day period, as soon after such notice as is reasonably
possible using continuous and diligent efforts) from Company
specifying the nature thereof, or (ii) shall apply for, consent
to or suffer the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian
or liquidator of all or any substantial part of its assets,
(iii) shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or (iv) shall file a petition or answer seeking, or
admitting or shall otherwise take advantage of bankruptcy,
reorganization or other relief under applicable bankruptcy law,
or (v) shall fail to be able to meet its current financial or
other obligations as they become due then this shall be
considered by Company to be an "Event of Default". Upon such
Event of Default, Company may thereupon terminate this Agreement
by giving the Customer thirty (30) days written notice of
termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, Company may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10)
days prior written notice if the Customer fails or refuses to
pay Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
14.2 Upon an Event of Default, Company shall have all remedies
available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity, and
all such remedies shall be cumulative.
14.3 In the event Customer fails to cure a default for non-
payment of amounts due under any payment schedule or invoice, in
addition to terminating this Agreement, Company may retain all
prepayments and recover all remaining sums due under all
Schedules outstanding at the time of the default. In addition to
any other remedies available in law or equity, upon a material
Event of Default by Customer, Company will have the right to
repossess all or part of the Equipment, notwithstanding its
attachment to real estate. In such event, Company may lawfully
enter upon the property of Customer during reasonable hours,
without judicial process, to retake possession of such
Equipment, and may sell or lease such Equipment, continuing to
hold Customer responsible for the difference in the proceeds of
such sale (or lease) and any amounts due in connection with this
Agreement. However, Company's right of repossession is subject
to the transitional provisions described in Section 16.
15. INTERRUPTION OR UNAVAILABILITY OF SERVICE. If, during any month
within the Term, the Services described in any Telecommunications,
Wireless, or Internet Services Schedule are interrupted or become
unavailable to Customer, due to no fault of Customer, a refund of a
portion of the monthly Service Fee will be paid to Customer by
Company. Payment of any refund under this provision is expressly
conditioned upon Customer providing prompt notice of the interruption
to Company by telephone at the telephone number indicated herein and
in writing within ten (10) days. Any such refunds will be made on an
annual basis within 30 days of each anniversary of the Commencement
Date of the Agreement, and will be calculated in accordance with the
following: (A) For telecommunications or wireless Services, a refund
will accrue when telecommunications or wireless Service is
interrupted for any period lasting four (4) or more consecutive hours
after notice from Customer. The amount of the refund shall be
determined by dividing the Customer's average monthly usage charge,
based upon the applicable services and rates, by 1440, and then
multiplying the result by the number of one-half (1/2) hour
increments, or major fraction thereof, of interruption, in excess of
the initial four (4) hours. (B) For Internet Services, if Company
determines, in its reasonable commercial judgment, that (i) Company's
network was unavailable for one (1) or more consecutive hours during
any calendar month a refund equal to the pro-rated charges for (1)
day's Internet Services will accrue; or (ii) Company's network was
unavailable for an aggregate of four (4) or more hours during any
calendar month a refund equal to the pro-rated charges for one (1)
week's Internet Services will accrue. Company shall not be
responsible for, and no refund will be paid in the event that, an
interruption or unavailability of Service is caused by (i)
Customer's, or any other third party's misuse, neglect, accident,
unauthorized modification, or uses in violation of instructions
furnished by Company or the manufacturer; (ii) the failure of
facilities or equipment provided by Customer or any third party;
provided that such failure is not caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Company; (iii) Company's inability to gain
access to Customer's equipment and facilities; (iv) Customer's
failure to release the telecommunications, wireless or Internet
Service, when requested by Company, to perform testing and
maintenance; (v) equipment for which the serial number has been
removed or altered or, (vi) a Force Majeure event, as described
herein. Scheduled maintenance shall not be deemed to be an
interruption or unavailability of Company's network. Likewise, to
the extent that any amount due under this Agreement is unpaid, any
refund accrued and payable by Company shall be applied to any such
unpaid balance, with any remainder being paid to Customer. This
Section states Company's sole obligation and Customer's exclusive
remedy for any unavailability of Company's network.
16. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by either party at the
end of the Term or any renewal term thereof provided written notice
of termination is given, at least ninety (90) and not more than one-
hundred twenty (120) days, before the end of the Term. If notice of
termination is not given or if the Equipment is not returned to
Company as notified, the Term of the Agreement shall be extended
month-to-month on the same terms and conditions. Thereafter, the
Agreement may be terminated by either party at the end of any
calendar month by giving the other party six (6) months prior written
notice.
17. RETURN OF THE EQUIPMENT. At the end of the Term, Customer agrees to
immediately return the Equipment, in condition as good as received,
less normal wear and tear, to such place within the United States as
Company designates. The Equipment shall at Customer's sole expense
be properly crated and shipped, by such reasonable means as
designated by Company, freight prepaid and properly insured.
18. NOTICES. Notification of either party to this Agreement shall be
effective upon receipt, or refusal of delivery, when deposited in the
United States Mail, first class mail, certified or return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or when sent by a nationally recognized
overnight delivery service, to (for Customer) the addresses set forth
above or (for Company) 400 Inverness Drive South, Suite 400,
Englewood, Colorado 80112, Attn: Contracts Administration, or such
other address provided for such purposes by either party.
19. MODIFICATIONS. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a
written amendment or additional Schedules specifically referencing
this Agreement by number, date, title and parties and executed by a
person authorized to execute agreements on behalf of Customer and
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer has delegated
authority to Customer's Authorized Contact Person to execute such
amendments and subsequent Schedules, provided that any such single
document shall not involve an increase in the monthly Service Fee
greater than 10% of the original Service Fee. Any such modification
shall be effective as of the Effective Date applicable thereto.
20. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted
according to the laws of the State of Colorado.
21. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The parties agree that Section 6, 7, 8, 9,
12, 13, and 18 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
22. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement is the only original Agreement
assignable for purposes of financing or pledging the assets described
hereunder.
23. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. Each party agrees to comply with
all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the performance of its
obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Customer will have responsibility for ensuring that,
except in respect to work performed hereunder by Company, or
Company's subcontractors or agents, the premises meet all applicable
codes or other laws. Customer agrees to promptly correct any
noncompliance with applicable codes and other laws if such
noncompliance in any way prevents Company from performing under this
Agreement.
24. FINAL AGREEMENT. In the event that there are any conflicting terms or
conditions between Agreement Terms and the Schedule Terms, the
Schedule Terms shall control. Likewise, in the event that Customer
submits a purchase order for any Services or Equipment to be provided
by Company, Company shall not be bound by any of the terms or
conditions printed on the purchase order and such terms and
conditions shall be null and void. Any purchase orders shall be
governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any
Schedule(s), as applicable. In the event any provision contained in
this Agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable in any
respect, such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement, and the Agreement shall be then construed as if
such an unenforceable provision or provisions had never been included
in this Agreement. The failure of either party to enforce or insist
upon compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or
the granting of an extension of the time for performance, shall not
constitute an Agreement to waive such terms with respect to any other
occurrences. This Agreement, together with any Schedules attached
hereto, or to be attached in the future, or Amendments attached
hereto, sets forth the entire understanding of the parties and
supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements or
understandings related to the Services described herein and therein,
and no representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention
has been made by either party which is not embodied herein. Company
shall not be bound by any agents' or employees' representations,
promises or inducements not set forth herein.

follows:

valuable service by identifying and assigning personnel to provide
Services to Customer. The parties further acknowledge that each party
would receive substantial additional value and deprive the other party of
the benefits of such party's work force, if a party were to directly hire
the other party's personnel. As such, neither party shall, without the

Kenton Street, Englewood, Colorado 80111, on or about January 1, 2000, and
consents to relocation of the Equipment in connection with that move. Any

Customer, Company will provide services in connection with the move, and
bill Customer in accordance with Company's then current Preferred Rate
Table for such services. Customer shall in no event permit any Equipment
to be removed outside the United States. The preceding prohibitions
against moving Equipment shall not apply to portable computing equipment

5. "If the transaction is recategorized by a taxing authority, and the

shall pay to Company or the Assign an amount equal to the lesser of (a)
the amount sufficient to reimburse Company or the Assign for such loss
(as described in the preceding sentence) or (b) the amount of Customer's
decrease in tax as a result of the recategorization. Customer's payment
under the preceding sentence shall be made on an annual basis for each tax
year of the Term and any Renewal Term, and shall be due on the due date
for Customer's taxes affected by the recategorization."
5. A new Section 6, Existing Equipment, shall be added as follows:
"EXISTING EQUIPMENT. Company shall purchase from Customer and Customer

Attachment A, free from all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind,
and (2) Customer has the right to sell such assets. EXCEPT AS DESCRIBED
IN THIS SECTION, NEITHER CUSTOMER NOR ITS ASSIGNS MAKES ANY WARRANTY,
REPRESENTATION OR COVENANT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE DESIGN, QUALITY, CAPACITY OR
CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT; COMPLIANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW, RULE, SPECIFICATION OR AGREEMENT; OR PATENT OR
COPYRIGHT OR LATENT DEFECTS. NEITHER CUSTOMER NOR THE ASSIGNS SHALL HAVE
ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR THE BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY
MADE BY THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE PROVIDERS. EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES,
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, OR ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT."

or data for any purpose.
C. Maintenance/Managed Services Schedule 001
1. Section 1, Covered Equipment, shall be modified by adding the

Schedule as the "Services".)"
2. Section 3, Service Schedule, shall be deleted.

Company's responsibilities under this Agreement, and (b) Customer shall be
responsible for any damage to Equipment caused by Customer's performance
of these functions.
7. Section 9, Additions to Equipment, shall be modified by deleting the

as Company-owned and managed equipment under this Agreement, or as
equipment available for purchase from Company (such as the Cisco and
Adtran equipment described in Section 14 of the Scope of Work Schedule).
Equipment available for purchase shall be offered on price terms no less
favorable than Customer could obtain elsewhere. Company-owned and managed
equipment shall be made available on terms no less favorable than those
applicable to the Equipment under this Agreement (based on pricing no
higher than would apply if Customer purchased the equipment). Any
additional Company-owned and managed equipment shall be listed on a
subsequent Equipment Schedule, and shall be treated as "Equipment" under
this Agreement. If Company does not provide the additional equipment,"
Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, the terms of the Agreement
shall be unmodified, and of full force and effect.

LICENSE AND REFERRAL AGREEMENT
This License and Referral Agreement is between Cavion Technologies,
Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Cavion"), and Cardinal Services
Corporation, a credit union service organization incorporated in
California ("CSC").
CSC is a leading provider of web site design, development and hosting
services for credit unions. Cavion is a leading provider of secure
Internet access, transactional banking and other network services to
credit unions, including web site hosting. Cavion's data connectivity
services ("network services") are offered through Cavion's CuiNet(R)
network. CUiNet is a secure interactive network for electronic
communications and commerce among credit unions, their members, leagues,
service organizations and vendors of services to credit unions, CSC and
Cavion desire to enter into a licensing and cooperative marketing
relationship for their mutual benefit.
It is agreed as follows:
1. CAVION SOFTWARE. Cavion will license to CSC Cavion's proprietary
software described on the attached Services Schedule (the "licensed
software"), to enable CSC to resell to clients of CSC the services
described on the Services Schedule. The scope of the license is
described in section 5 below. Cavion will cooperate with CSC to
provide application program interfaces allowing CSC to create a user
interface to each licensed software program. Cavion will install the
licensed software on servers supplied by Cavion for purchase by CSC.
Cavion will provide training on the licensed software to CSC
personnel, as mutually agreed from time to time. Upon mutual
agreement of the parties, the Services Schedule may be modified at
any time to add or reduce the software products licensed under this
agreement. Cavion reserves the right to discontinue support of any
software product included in the Services Schedule, on at least 120
days notice to CSC.
2. SERVER CO-LOCATION. At a mutually agreed time, Cavion will make
available space at Cavion network operations centers to house web
servers and associated equipment owned and operated by CSC ("CSC's co-
located equipment"). CSC will be responsible for moving CSC's co-
located equipment to Cavion's facilities. Cavion will install and
interconnect CSC's co-located equipment to CUiNet, and will provide
CSC with access to CUiNet at the bandwidth specified on the attached
Services Schedule. CSC's access to CUiNet under this agreement is
solely for the purposes of (a) providing Internet access to CSC's web
servers, and (b) providing CSC with dedicated remote access to CSC's
co-located equipment. Access to CUiNet for other purposes may be
provided to CSC upon mutual agreement. Cavion will contract with a
local telecommunications provider to establish and maintain a
connection from CSC's servers and associated equipment located at
CSC's headquarters facility ("CSC's in-house equipment") to CUiNet.
3. MARKETING COOPERATION. CSC will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to resell the services described in the Services Schedule,
and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promote Cavion's
other network services, on a nonexclusive basis, to its credit union
clients. Cavion will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
refer its credit union clients to CSC, on a nonexclusive basis, for
web site design and development work. The web sites of credit union
clients that are referred under this agreement will be hosted by
Cavion or CSC, as determined by the client. The parties will engage
in joint advertising and product-oriented public relations, as
mutually agreed from time to time during the term of this agreement.
Each party will at all times give prompt, courteous and efficient
service to clients, and will do nothing which tends to injure the
reputation or goodwill of the other party. CSC will not resell the
services described on the Services Schedule to clients referred by
Cavion.
4. FEES.
4.1 Cavion will pay CSC a one-time referral fee of $1,000 for
each credit union under contract with CSC for web content that
is referred to Cavion by CSC and that contracts with Cavion for
network services (a "CSC referred client"). The referral fee is
due within 30 days after the end of the month in which Cavion
receives its set-up fee in full from the CSC referred client.
Payment of the referral fee will be accompanied by a report
listing the name and location of each CSC referred client that
has contracted with Cavion for network services during the
previous month.
4.2 CSC will pay Cavion the set-up and monthly recurring fees
for access to CUiNet described in the Services Schedule. These
fees reflect Cavion's direct costs for equipment and bandwidth.
The nonrefundable set-up fee is due one-half upon execution of
this agreement and one-half upon receipt of invoice from Cavion
after activation of the network connection. Monthly recurring
fees will begin upon commencement of service, and are due upon
receipt of invoice from Cavion. Monthly fees for bandwidth may
be increased to reflect increases in Cavion's direct cost.
4.3 CSC will pay Cavion a monthly software license fee for each
credit union client to which CSC grants a sublicense of the
licensed software or provides services using the licensed
software (a "CSC user"). Initially, the software license fees
will be as described in the Services Schedule. These fees
reflect a discount of 15% below Cavion's published prices direct
to credit unions for the network services on the date of this
agreement. Software license fees may be increased (a) for new
CSC users, in Cavion's sole discretion, (b) for existing CSC
users, in Cavion's sole discretion, no more than once in any
three-year period of use by the CSC user, or (c) for existing
CSC users, on an annual basis to reflect changes in the All-
Urban Consumer Price Index as published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. However, any increase in software license fees will
require at least 60 days notice to CSC, and will continue to
reflect a discount of 15% below Cavion's published prices direct
to credit unions for the network services. Any discounts for
additional software products added to the Services Schedule will
be as mutually agreed.
4.4 In addition to the fees described in the preceding two
subsections. CSC will pay any applicable sales, use, value-
added, personal property or similar taxes. Monthly fees for
services discontinued by CSC users will not be prorated.
5. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE.
5.1 "Cavion technology" means all inventions, designs, software
and intellectual property of any kind used in the operation of
CUiNet. Cavion's network services, and the licensed software
including all portions and complete or partial copies thereof,

from third parties all Cavion technology.
5.2 Cavion hereby grants to CSC, during the term of this
agreement and subject to the provisions of this agreement, a
nonexclusive nontransferable license (a) to use the Cavion
technology (other than the network services software) for the
purpose of connecting to, and transmitting and receiving data
across, CUiNet as contemplated by this agreement, (b) to use the
object code of the licensed software to provide to CSC's users
the corresponding network services, and (c) to use the

other purpose, (b) modify, translate, at merge any network
services software with another program, (c) create a derivative
work based on the Cavion technology, or (d) sublicense or
transfer the Cavion technology to any third party, except as

users, during the term of this agreement, a nonexclusive
nontransferable sublicense to use the network services as
provided by CSC, or to use the object code of the licensed
software to provide to the CSC user's members the corresponding
network services. Any sublicense to CSC users will be subject
to a written agreement providing protections to Cavion, as CSC's
supplier, at least as strong as those described in the attached
User Terms Schedule. CSC will not reverse-engineer,
disassemble, decompile, or make, any attempt to discover the
source code of the network services software. CSC will not copy
the network services software, except for temporary browser-
embedded copies as required to run the licensed software. All
rights not explicitly granted to CSC under this section are
reserved to Cavion.
5.3 Each party hereby grants to the other, during the term of
this agreement and subject to the provisions of this agreement,
a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the trademarks of
the providing party and any promotional materials furnished by
the providing party, for the purpose of promoting the services
of the providing party.
6. WEB SITE LINKS. The parties will provide links to each other's web
sites on the terms described in this section. For purposes of this
agreement, "link" means a hypertext link to the home page of a web
site that connects the user to that web site, "host site" means a
party's web site on which a link to the other party's web site is
displayed, and "target site" means the web site that a link connects
to.
6.1 Each party will provide a text file incorporating a link to
that party's target site (a "link file"). The link file, in a
form mutually agreed upon, will be incorporated into the HTML
files of the other party's host site. The location and
appearance of the link will be in the discretion of the host
site owner, after consultation with the target site owner. The
host site owner will accommodate updates to the link file from
time to time, as reasonably requested by the target site owner.
6.2 Each party hereby grants to the other, subject to the
provisions of this agreement, a nonexclusive nontransferable
license to establish a link from the host site to the target
site, and to use the link file provided by the target site owner
for the purpose of establishing such link. This license does
nor include rights to (a) use the link file for any other
purpose, (b) modify or create a derivative work based on the
link file, or (c) sublicense or transfer this license to any
third party. All rights not explicitly granted to the host site
owner under this subsection are reserved to the target site
owner. The license granted under this subsection is revocable
at the discretion of the target site owner. The host site owner
will delete the link at any time, within 2 business days of a
request by the target site owner.
6.3 Neither party will (a) place any advertisement or link on
its web site for adult, firearms, hate or other violent or
sexually oriented web sites, or (b) advertise on its web site or
link to any advertisers blacklisted or censured by the Federal
Trade Commission, Direct Marketing Association, Advertising
Association or any other recognized authority for filtering
Internet content.
6.4 CSC will give Cavion an opportunity to comment on any CSC
privacy policy and privacy language of any agreement with CSC
users.
7. SET-UP OF THE SERVICES. Any network servers, routers and other
equipment paid for by CSC as part of the set-up fees are described in
the attached Equipment Schedule. This equipment, as well as any CSC
provided servers and associated equipment housed at Cavion's
facilities, belongs to CSC. CSC is responsible for insuring all CSC
equipment, whether located at a CSC facility or a Cavion facility.
All other equipment associated with CUiNet and CSC's connection to
CUiNet is owned or leased by Cavion, whether located at a CSC
facility or a Cavion facility. Title and risk of loss to any
equipment purchased by CSC will pass to CSC upon delivery to the
shipping carrier. Cavion retains a security interest in equipment
purchased until final payment of the set-up fees. CSC is responsible
for equipment installation and wiring at CSC's facility, with
assistance from Cavion engineering staff. Equipment is deemed
accepted upon the first successful use of CUiNet.
8. NETWORK OPERATIONS.
8.1 Cavion will provide telephone support to CSC during regular
business hours at the nearest Cavion staffed facility.
Emergency support is available 24 hours per day, 365 days per
year. Cavion will maintain, administer and upgrade CUiNet as
appropriate (in Cavion's judgment) for effective network
operations. Should an upgrade of CUiNet require upgrade of
CSC's in-house equipment or software to remain compatible, the
upgrade of CSC's in-house equipment or software will be CSC's
responsibility. CSC is solely responsible for providing support
to its users relating to the licensed software.
8.2 Cavion will maintain the network connection equipment
provided to CSC's facility under this agreement, whether the
equipment belongs to CSC or Cavion. However, CSC is responsible
for maintaining in appropriate operating environment and
restricting access to the connection equipment. Cavion relies
on CSC to promptly notify Cavion of any problem affecting CSC's
connection to CuiNet, and to cooperate with Cavion (including
providing access to CSC's facility and technical personnel) as
needed to correct any such problem.
8.3 CUiNet uses standard telecommunication links and standard
network server technology. While expected to be minimal,
unscheduled temporary service disruptions cannot be completely
eliminated. Network service will also be limited or interrupted
from time to time for scheduled maintenance, network expansion,
upgrades or other administrative purposes. Cavion will make
commercially reasonable efforts to notify CSC in advance of
scheduled downtime, and to limit scheduled downtime to off-peak
hours.
8.4 Cavion reserves the right to monitor CUiNet traffic as
appropriate (in Cavion's judgment) for proper operation of
CUiNet and as otherwise required or permitted by law. However,
Cavion does not have the practical ability to control the
conduct of users of CUiNet and assumes no liability for such
conduct.
9. STANDARDS OF USE. If access to CUiNet is provided to CSC for
purposes other than enabling remote access to CSC's co-located
equipment, CSC will use CUiNet and will permit the use of CUiNet only
in a manner that is lawful, consistent with the rights of other users
and third parties, in keeping with accepted Internet etiquette, and
not disruptive to the operations of CUiNet. CSC will provide access
to CUiNet only to its employees, independent contractors and
examiners, and only from equipment located at CSC's facilities. CSC
will communicate the restrictions described in this section to anyone
to whom it provides access. Vendors who use CUiNet to provide
services to CSC must do so by agreement with Cavion. CSC agrees to
comply with any rules and policies posted on CUiNet's web server that
are generally applicable to users of CUiNet. Material breach of this
section will be cause for immediate suspension of service or
termination of agreement.
10. SECURITY. Cavion will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure
that CUiNet interfaces to the Internet are protected using network
firewalls, encryption, and/or other appropriate security measures.
CSC is responsible for (a) the security of network equipment located
at CSC's facility, and (b) safeguarding any passwords or other
validation information assigned to CSC. In addition, while the
private telecommunication circuits between CSC's facility and CUiNet
provide physical security for CSC's unencrypted network traffic,
these circuits are owned and operated by telecommunications providers
and Cavion does not guarantee their security.
11. LIMITED WARRANTIES.
11.1 Cavion warrants CUiNet and the licensed software in
accordance with the limited warranty described in the Limited
Warranty Schedule to this agreement. Cavion may modify this
warranty in its sole discretion, upon at least 30 days notice to
CSC. This warranty is exclusively for the benefit of CSC, and
is not transferable without Cavion's prior written consent.
11.2 Each party represents and warrants to the other that (a) it
owns or has the right to use all material contained in the link
file and all materials at the target site, and (b) the use of
the link file as contemplated by this agreement does not violate
any criminal laws or infringe the copyright, trademark or other
intellectual property rights of any third party.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In no event will either party be liable for
lost data, lost profits, or any other incidental, consequential or
exemplary damages, even if the party is aware of the possibility of
such damages. In no event will either party's liability for any
claim related to this agreement exceed the amount paid by the other
party under this agreement during the six months prior to the claim,
except in the case of the liable party's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY.
13.1 "Confidential information" means any and all confidential
business information concerning either party that is disclosed
to the other party in connection with this agreement, including
all confidential information disclosed to CSC concerning Cavion
technology and including the terms of this agreement. Any
confidential financial information of CSC users or their members
to which Cavion may have access as network administrator will be
treated as confidential information of CSC. "Confidential
information" does not include information which the recipient
can show (a) is public (other than through the recipient's
actions), (b) was rightfully disclosed to the recipient by a
third party, or (c) was independently developed by the
recipient. Information that is not otherwise confidential will
not be treated as confidential merely because it is disclosed
under this agreement.
13.2 Each party (and its employees and agents) (a) will use the
same degree of care (and at least a reasonable degree of care)
to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential
information as it uses to protect its own confidential
information of a similar nature, and (b) will immediately notify
the disclosing party upon discovery of any loss, unauthorized
disclosure, or unauthorized use of confidential information.
13.3 Upon termination of this agreement, or at any time upon the
request of the disclosing party, the recipient will promptly
return or destroy all confidential information in any form
(including computer media), and the recipient will not retain
any copies of confidential information in any form.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Cavion may keep archival
copies of network traffic as required in Cavion's discretion for
proper operation of CUiNet. Cavion will not be required to
return or destroy these copies, but will continue to treat them
as confidential information under this section as long as they
are retained.
13.4 Any breach of this section will cause the disclosing party
irreparable harm for which it cannot be adequately compensated
in damages. The disclosing party will therefore be entitled, in
addition to any remedies otherwise available, to injunctive and
other equitable relief, without posting bond, to enforce this
section and to prevent any breach of this section. The
provisions of this section will survive termination of this
agreement for the longest of the following: (a) two years, (b)
in the case of archive copies as described in the preceding
subsection, any period for which Cavion retains such copies, or
(c) in the case of any trade secret, as long as such information
remains a trade secret.
14. INDEMNITIES. Each Party indemnifies the other (and its affiliates
and agents) against all losses arising out of any claim that
materials of the indemnifying party infringe the copyright, trademark
or other intellectual property rights of any third party. For
purposes of this section, "losses" means all loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorney and witness fees and
expenses), and "materials" of a party means any technology or content
supplied by that party for use or publication on CUiNet or the
Internet. CSC indemnifies Cavion (and its affiliates and agents)
against all losses arising out of any use of the licensed software by
anyone to whom CSC or any CSC user provides services using the
licensed software. If access to CUiNet is provided to CSC for
purposes other than enabling remote access to CSC's co-located
equipment, CSC indemnities Cavion (and its affiliates and agents)
against all losses arising out of any use of CUiNet by anyone to whom
CSC provides access. In each case, the indemnity is subject to the
conditions that:
(a) the indemnifying party is notified of the claim in a
timely manner;
(b) the indemnified party provides all reasonable
assistance to defend against the claim at the indemnifying
party's expense; and
(c) the indemnifying party is given control of the defense
and settlement.
If any materials are held or are believed by the indemnifying party
to infringe, the indemnifying party will have the option, at its
expense, to (a) modify the materials to be non-infringing, (b) obtain
for the indemnified party the right to continue using the materials,
or (c) terminate the use of the materials under this agreement. The
provisions of this section will survive termination of this agreement
for a period equal to the statute of limitations governing the
indemnified claim and will continue to apply to any claim filed
within that period.
15. TERM AND TERMINATION.
15.1 The term of this agreement will be for one year from the
date hereof. Thereafter, this agreement will automatically
renew for additional one year periods unless(a) terminated by
either party by notice at least 180 days prior to the renewal
date, or (b) replaced by a new agreement governing access to
CUiNet and the network services.
15.2 Either party may terminate this agreement upon notice to
the other:
(a) if the other party materially breaches any of its
obligations under this agreement and such breach is not
cured within 60 days after notice thereof; or
(b) if insolvency proceedings pursuant to any federal or
state law am filed by the other party, or are filed against
the other party and not dismissed within 60 days; if
substantially all of the assets of the other party are
transferred to an assignee for the benefit of creditors, a
receiver or a trustee in bankruptcy; if the other party is
adjudged bankrupt; or if the other party ceases to carry on
business.
15.3 Termination of this agreement will not be exclusive of any
other remedy available under this agreement or applicable law.
Upon termination, each party will promptly make any payments
owed to the other party. Within 30 days after termination, each
party will return (or will provide reasonable access to its
facilities for the other party to retrieve) any equipment in its
possession that belongs to the other party. Cavion will
reasonably cooperate with CSC in any necessary transfer of CSC
IP addresses.
16. DISPUTES. Except as otherwise agreed, any dispute concerning this
agreement will be resolved as follows:
16.1 If either party believes that a dispute cannot be resolved
by informal negotiation, the matter will be submitted to
mediation. The parties will agree upon a neutral impartial
mediator experienced in the field of interactive electronic
networks. At the commencement of the mediation, the parties
will agree upon (a) a procedure for exchange of information
related to the dispute, and (b) ground rules and a schedule for
conducting the proceeding before the mediator.
16.2 If a dispute is not settled pursuant to mediation within
the agreed time period, or if any party will not participate in
the mediation, the dispute will be submitted to binding
arbitration in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the rules of
the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. The arbitration will
be by a single arbitrator (or, if the amount in controversy is
greater than $100,000, by three arbitrators, none of whom will
be appointed by either party) experienced in the field of
interactive electronic networks. The arbitration will be
governed by the United States Arbitration Act, and judgment upon
the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The arbitrators will not be empowered to award damages
in excess of actual damages, but will be empowered (not
required) to require any party to pay the reasonable attorney
fees, expert witness fees, and other arbitration costs of any
other party.
16.3 Except as specified in section 13.4, the procedures
described in this section will be the exclusive procedures for
the resolution of disputes; provided, however, that either party
may seek preliminary judicial relief in Denver, Colorado, if in
the judgment of that party such relief is necessary to avoid
irreparable damage. Despite the initiation of any such judicial
proceedings, the parties will continue to participate in good
faith in the mediation or arbitration. Any cause of action
either party may have with respect to this agreement will be
barred unless it is commenced within one year after the cause of
action arises, is discovered, or should have been discovered
with the exercise of reasonable diligence.
17. GENERAL.
17.1 The parties are independent contractors. Neither party is
an agent or partner of the other, or has the right to incur any
obligation on behalf of the other. Each party may use the
other's name and trademarks only with the other's prior written
consent (except that Cavion may use CSC's name in any listing of
CUiNet clients). Upon termination of this agreement, all use of
such names and trademarks will immediately be discontinued, and
each party will return to the other all promotional materials
and other items bearing the other's name or trademarks that are
in its possession. Each party will set its own prices for the
services to which clients are referred under this agreement.
17.2 Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure in
its performance under this agreement (except for payment
obligations) directly or indirectly due to acts of the other
party or its agents, or to causes beyond the control of the
delaying party (including equipment failure, utility failure,
casualty, emergency conditions, acts of governmental
authorities, labor disputes, and acts of suppliers,
telecommunications providers or other third parties).
17.3 Notices under this agreement will be in writing and will be
effective when received by certified mail, overnight courier or
hand delivery to the address set forth below (as may be changed
from time to time by written notice). Refusal to accept
delivery will be deemed receipt.
17.4 During the term of this agreement, neither party will
solicit for employment any current employee of the other party,
or attempt to persuade any current employee of the other party
to terminate such employment.
17.5 Any press release or other public announcement regarding
this agreement will be jointly approved in advance by Cavion and
CSC. However, it is understood that Cavion may be required to
disclose this agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
in connection with Cavion's initial public offering currently on
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
17.6 This agreement will be binding upon the assigns and
successors in interest of Cavion and CSC. Either party may
assign this agreement to an affiliate, or as collateral for
financing purposes, and Cavion may assign this agreement to a
purchaser of CUiNet, without the consent of the other party.
Neither party may otherwise assign this agreement without the
other party's written consent, which will not unreasonably be
withheld.
17.7 This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
Colorado. No provision of this agreement may be waived or
modified except in writing signed by CSC and Cavion. This
agreement (including the Services Schedule as modified by the
parties from time to time) is the entire agreement between the
parties as to its subject matter, and supersedes any other
communications between the parties. This agreement may be
executed in counterparts, each of which will constitute an
original. If any provision of this agreement is found to be
invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be modified (in
the affected jurisdiction) to the minimum extent required, and
the remainder hereof will not be affected.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this License and
Referral Agreement as of the date written below.

Except as described in section 8.3 of this agreement, CUiNet will be
online and available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The licensed
software will be capable of performing die functions described in the
online documentation associated with the software, for the term of this
agreement, provided the software is used with an approved web browser and
otherwise in accordance with the documentation. Cavion does not guarantee
that operation of CUiNet or the licensed software will be uninterrupted or
error-free. Cavion is not responsible for network unavailability caused
by CSC's in-house equipment, equipment of the CSC users or their members,
telecommunications circuits or the Internet. CSC is responsible for
selecting which of the telecommunications circuits offered by CUiNet will
be used, and for the adequacy of the telecommunications circuit to carry
CSC's traffic over CUiNet. Warranty protection for equipment sold to CSC
under this agreement will be as provided by the equipment manufacturer.
Claims for breach of this warranty should be submitted in writing,
including as much detail as possible concerning the circumstances of the
problem. If Cavion is unable to correct the problem (with CSC's
cooperation) within 30 days, Cavion will refund the monthly charges
relating to the service in which the problem is experienced, prorated for
the affected period.
This limited warranty sets forth Cavion's exclusive warranties with
respect to CUiNet and the licensed software. CAVION DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AUTHORITY OR NONINFRINGEMENT.
