PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND ORGANIZATION
The Company and APP LLC
Accident Prevention Plus, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada on October 28, 1998 to become the holding company of
Accident Prevention Plus, LLC, a limited liability company ("APP LLC") and
International Purchasing Services, Inc., a New York corporation ("IPS-NY").
Accident Prevention Plus, Inc. was formed during 1993 as a corporation
under the laws of the State of New York. During February 1996, Accident
Prevention Plus, Inc. converted to a limited liability company under the laws of
the State of New York ("APP LLC"). Since its inception in 1993, APP LLC has been
engaged in the design, marketing and distribution of onboard computer recording
and fuel monitoring systems for commercial and fleet vehicles.
Effective as of October 28, 1998, the Company entered into an Exchange
Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with all of the equity members of APP LLC
pursuant to which it was agreed that (i) the equity members would exchange their
interests in APP LLC for shares of common stock of the Company, and (ii) the
Company would issue to the equity members shares of its common stock
commensurate with their respective proportionate interests in APP LLC. In
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Exchange Agreement, the Company
acts as the holding company of APP LLC. As used in this Registration Statement,
the term "Company" will include APP LLC unless APP LLC is otherwise individually
referenced.
International Purchasing Services, Inc.
International Purchasing Services, Inc. ("IPS-NY") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of New York on March 3, 1993 to provide general purchasing
services for large multinational companies worldwide. Effective as of October
28, 1998, the Company acquired IPS-NY by entering into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization ("Plan of Reorganization") with IPS-NY. As of the date of this

an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with KMR. During June 1999, however,
management of the Company determined that there was a mistake of fact involving
the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with KMR. Management discovered that
the laws of India prohibited a foreign entity from holding more than a 49%
equity ownership interest in a company organized under the laws of India.
Therefore, the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between the Company and KMR
was in violation of the laws of India. On June 21, 1999, retroactively effective
to October 28, 1998, the Company entered into a Rescission Agreement with KMR
pursuant to which it was agreed that the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
with KMR would be set aside and KMR would cease to be a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company with no further rights or duties to the Company.

PRODUCTS
Onboard Recording Systems
The Company designs, develops, markets and sells a comprehensive line of
onboard computer recording systems, the APP1000, APP2000 and APP3000
(hereinafter called the "AP+Series"), which monitors and records data for
accident prevention, driver training and evaluation, and maintenance operations
for fleet vehicles worldwide. The basic unit hardware is the same for the three
series, although the APP2000 and APP3000 series have upgrades and will perform
more functions to meet the requirements of the customer. The AP+Series were
designed to (i) promote safe and efficient driving practices; (ii) provide
security for unauthorized operational use of a vehicle; (iii) automatically
monitor and record vehicle operational data for accident prevention, driver
training, driver evaluation and maintenance purposes; and (iv) reduce the
overall costs of maintaining and operating fleet vehicles. Each of the AP+Series
onboard recording systems are fully programmable data recorder systems that
include a data recorder for each fleet vehicle, a Smart-card for each driver, a
central card-reader with management computer software which is compatible with
Microsoft Windows.
The AP+Series are often dubbed "black boxes" after the ones used in large
aircraft. The AP+Series units can be custom-designed to specific requirements by
using thousands of individual operating parameters and are efficiently
upgradable to meet further needs of fleet management companies as they adapt to
a changing world. The AP+Series have the ability to monitor, record and retrieve
approximately 10,000 types of data. Some examples of the analyzed categories for
the transportation industry include, but are not limited to, (i) driving
chronologies (maximum speed, deceleration, idling, last 20 overspeedings, brake
occurrences and intensities), (ii) trip chronologies (driver identification,
date and time of vehicle usage, total driving time and distance, dangerous
braking occurrences), and (iii) vehicular chronologies (distance/speed, engine
rpm, lights, water temperature, oil temperature, air pressure, vehicular sway).
This data is permanently recorded thus often providing a record of critical
information such as "near misses" and actual accidents. The AP+Series are
flexible in their monitoring and can be custom tailored to meet required
specifications.
Specific Features. Features of the AP+Series onboard recording systems
provide many cost-effective benefits as described below, including reduced
insurance rates, reduced fuel consumption, reduction in the occurrence of
accidents, preventative maintenance, reduced over-speeding by drivers, reduced
theft, easier compliance with federal and local laws, and an effective driver
training tool.
Safety/Accident Prevention. Management considers the AP+Series to be
proactive management tools designed to promote safe and efficient driving
practices. The AP+Series constantly monitors adherence by drivers to established
company driving standards, such as acceleration, deceleration, engine rpm and
speed. The AP+Series also assists drivers on the road by warning them when they
may be violating established company safety standards. It also records the
parameters of actual vehicle operation for appropriate use in driver training
programs. Furthermore, the AP+Series can educate drivers to adapt their driving
patterns to road conditions and environment and provide a powerful tool for
performance evaluation of both driver and vehicle. Management believes that not
only does the AP+Series help in preventing accidents, but it also is a
beneficial tool when accidents do occur.
<PAGE>
Reporting. The AP+Series automatically records vehicle operational data
concurrent with sudden accelerations and decelerations, or collisions. The
AP+Series are designed to ensure that the data is secure from power failure and
tampering. Such unbiased recorded data may be used for later analysis, such as
in accident reports, or to confirm or refute claims that may be made against a
company or its drivers. All data recorded from the AP+Series can be printed from
an office printer in a variety of standard or customized reports or graphs.
These reports can be used in driver education programs, maintenance evaluation
of vehicles, and in other general fleet management programs.
Security. The AP+Series provides security for vehicles and for vehicle
data. With the use of an APP+Series smartcard, operational access to company
vehicles can be carefully, quickly and conveniently controlled by the fleet
manager.
Cost-Effective Use. Management believes that by constantly monitoring fleet
vehicles, the AP+Series permits a company to more accurately schedule preventive
maintenance, increase fuel economy, and extend overall vehicle service life.
System data feedback to drivers should encourage more careful driving habits
that will serve to reduce the frequency of repairs and replacements, as well as
the occurrence accidents. Use of excessive quantities of fuel or oil, high
maintenance vehicles and other dangerous vehicle conditions can also be
identified before they become hazardous to the company's financial status or to
the general public.
The AP+Series are adaptable for use on all moving vehicles and equipment
including, but not limited to, trucks, school and commercial buses, ambulances
and other emergency vehicles, aircraft, boats and ships, trains, earth moving
and construction equipment, and virtually any other type of moving vehicle.
Moreover, management believes that the AP+Series are unique in the industry due
to use of the "Smart card" technology. The use of AP+Series custom software
gives the AP+Series the ability to be easily upgraded and customized to meet
customer specifications and needs. It also gives the AP+Series the ability to be
utilized outside of the fleet vehicle market.
The convergence of the Smart card and computing industries has created
numerous opportunities for potential users. Management believes that the
capabilities of its AP+Series, together with use of Smart card technology,
represents a fast growing new technology, which may enable the Company to expand
and enter into additional markets. Management further believes that potential
users of the technology will be able to specialize in developing systems to
support their applications or industries, including hospitals, payroll, medical
records, and security.
Use of the "Smart card" will allow the AP+Series to be utilized by
customers for non-transportation operations, such as use in the medical field
for recording and updating patient records and in a wide variety of other fields
where the monitoring, recording and tracking of information is critical. "Smart
card" technology may even be used by customers of the Company to provide
security in any area utilizing the technology including, but not limited to,
payroll, drivers' licenses, passports, medical applications, debit cards, and
student identification cards.
AP+Series 4000
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company is currently designing
the APP4000 system. The APP4000 system will include features such as a global
positioning system ("GPS") for vehicular tracking, mapping and communications,
an in-vehicle alcohol sensor/breathalyzer unit, a fatigue sensor which will
monitor and record driver alertness, and a fingerprint application for greater
security when used in conjunction with the "Smart card". Management believes
that use of these features will also provide the Company with the opportunity to
expand and diversify into other fields.
<PAGE>
Fuel Intake Monitoring System
The Fuel Intake Monitoring System ("FIMS") was designed by the Company to
automate and simplify many aspects of the fueling process. Through the
technological use of radio frequency communication, the FIMS will provide a
fleet owner with the ability to prevent fuel theft, receive paperless billing
for fuel consumed, and reduce vehicle downtime by simplifying and speeding up
the fueling process.
Design/Usage. The design of the FIMS consists of a vehicle unit which is
capable of storing and transmitting data concerning the vehicle, including fuel
level, odometer reading, fuel type required, and the maximum amount of fuel
permitted per filling. The other components of the system include a nozzle unit,
tank inlet antenna, ground loop antenna, station controller and a LCD display on
the fuel pump at the retail filling station.
An additional advantage of the FIMS is the elimination of the need for
drivers to carry cash or credit cards for refueling purposes. Fueling is
completely controlled by a company using the FIMS with computerized monitoring
of all relevant vehicle data and subsequent paperless billing.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has not begun to market
the FIMS pending completion of its patent research.
Other Products
The Company has also designed and developed a proprietary opacity sensor
for incorporation into the AP+Series, which is capable of reading vehicle
emissions in real time during the operation of the vehicle. This function will
provide fleet managers with the ability to monitor and record in real time and
ensure their ability to maintain compliance with measurement requirements of
exhaust emissions established under rules and regulations promulgated by the
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA").
Management intends to conduct patent research on this technology which has
been designed to meet such measurement requirements.
The Company has also designed and developed a dual axis accelerometer,
which was designed to measure the sway of a vehicle.
The Company has developed a customized software system according to
specifications for driver training applications for use with the AP+Series units
(the "Pilot 2001"). The Pilot 2001 software can only be used in connection with
the AP+Series units.
The Company has planned new product development to meet the needs of a
consumer related low-cost system to sell to the major automobile manufacturers.
<PAGE>
MANUFACTURING
As of the date of this Annual Report, the AP+Series products are primarily
manufactured by Nexus Corporation, a company located in Vermont ("Nexus"). Nexus
has manufactured approximately 600 APP+Series products.
Management anticipates that when the AP+Series products are to be
manufactured in much larger quantities, manufacturing of the FIMS will be
primarily contracted to Lockheed. APP LLC and Lockheed entered into a
manufacturing agreement dated January 24, 1997 whereby Lockheed generally agreed
to (i) manufacture the printed circuit board assemblies for the FIMS and other
product lines, (ii) provide services including, but not limited to,
qualifications testing, manufacturing engineering, test engineering, and circuit
design support; (iii) mark all products manufactured and assembled by Lockheed
for APP LLC with the Lockheed corporate name and logo; and (iv) allow APP LLC to
reflect that Lockheed manufactured such products when marketing and advertising.
Lockheed has also made two large production facilities available to the Company
to supplement the Company's manufacturing capabilities.
The Company also established relationships with another manufacturing
company relating to the manufacture of the accelerometers. The Company entered
into a purchase agreement dated October 16, 1998 with Asteria Electronics SDN
BHD ("Asteria"), whereby Asteria agreed to manufacture the accelerometers. As of
the date of this Annual Report, Asteria has manufactured approximately 100
accelerometers with an additional order for approximately 200 more
accelerometers.
The Company entered into an agreement dated May 12, 1999 with Schlumberger
Technologies, Inc., which is the second largest "Smart card" manufacturer in the
world ("Schlumberger"). The agreement with Schlumberger generally provides the
Company with the right to implement and utilize the Smart card technologies.
Previously, Schlumberger had agreed to transfer to APP LLC all technology data
relating to the Smart card. On October 17, 1996, APP LLC and Schlumberger had
entered into a technology transfer agreement pursuant to which Schlumberger
agreed to provide APP LLC (i) access to all Smart card technology and associated
products for development and distribution by Schlumberger, and (ii) the ability
to employ the Smart card technology. APP LLC had also entered into
non-disclosure agreements with Schlumberger. As of the date of this Annual
Report, the Company has the software, tooling, readers and cards to program the
AP+Series products for various applications.
Pursuant to recent purchase orders made by the Company with Island
Designers, Inc., a New York corporation ("ID"), ID has agreed to design and
develop printed circuit board layouts for the AP+Series. In addition, ID has
completed limited production runs of the AP+Series products.
PRODUCT RESEARCH/DEVELOPMENT AND CURRENT STATUS
AP+Series
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has installed the
AP+Series units in over 100 vehicles pursuant to an agreement with AFT-IFTM, the
largest driver training institute in Europe. AFT-IFTM, which generally sets the
driver training standards for the European Economic Community, has subsequently
trained over 30,000 drivers using the AP+Series products. The Company is also
assisting in the actual development of standards for new legislation. The new
legislation will be designed to standardize all onboard recording systems for
the entire European Economic Community. Management believes that its prominence
as a leader in the development of onboard recording systems will enhance the
marketability of its products in other countries and industries.
<PAGE>
In the United States, the Company has installed one AP+Series unit on a
driver training simulator located at Carnegie Mellon University/Driver Training
& Satefy Institute in Connersville, Pennsylavania ("CM"). Management believes
that installation of the AP+Series unit on the driver training simulator creates
a strategic marketing edge for the Company because of the high visibility of
such installation to governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Department of
Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and other universities and
driver training schools. Moreover, the Company has received a letter of intent
from CM whereby CM will distribute for the Company AP+Series products to be used
for driver education and research applications. CM will also receive a
commission for any AP+Series products sold from their referrals.
The Company is currently in the process of finalizing an agreement with CM
regarding use of the CM Driver Training Institute as a test, training and
research center. CM delivered a letter of intent to the Company indicating its
desire to establish a long-term relationship with the Company. It is anticipated
that CM and its related entities will cooperate in the research and development
of new products.
In conjunction with CM, the Company made a presentation of the AP+Series to
the National Transportation Safety Board and the American Trucking Association.
The Company subsequently entered into a contract dated August 1, 1999 with the
American Trucking Association ("ATA") pertaining to a federally funded project
administered by the Federal Highway Administration and ATA regarding use of one
of the Company's products to monitor fatigue technologies used as part of
studying fatigue in drivers. Management believes that this federal funded
contract will be significant in that the Company's products will be considered
as a government tool for analyzing various technologies.
The Company entered into an agreement dated August 31, 1999 with
North-Shore Long Island Jewish Health Systems ("North Shore Hospital") regarding
(i) installation of the APP4000 onboard recording system and related products
with North Shore Hospital, and (ii) provision of services to integrate the
installed APP4000 and related products with existing technologies utilized by
North Shore Hospital. The Company received an initial payment of $125,000, with
the balance of $131,000 due and owing to be paid sixty days from the date of
installation.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company is in negotiations for a
joint venture with Life Science Inc., and Life Science Corporation to integrate
the alcohol breathalyzer with the AP+Series products. Some states in North
America have enacted legislation mandating individuals who have been convicted
of driving while intoxicated ("DWI") or driving under the influence ("DUI") to
use alcohol sensors and breathalyzers in their vehicles. Management believes
that the design of the AP+Series products provides flexibility for integration
with other types of technologies, such as the alcohol breathalyzers.
The Company is also engaged in negotiations with Digitran Corporation of
Logan, Utah ("Digitran"), which is the manufacturer of the driving training
simulators used by CM, to install the AP+Series products on all Digitran
simulators throughout the world.
<PAGE>
Fuel Intake Monitoring Systems
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has pilot tested the FIMS
at two Shell Oil locations in Ruffec and St. Cloud, France. Management believes
that these pilot tests have proven the concept of FIMS to be valuable and
successful. The FIMS was also tested in the manufacturing laboratories of
Schlumberger, Shell Retail Petroleum Europe and Lockheed Martin. The FIMS also
received "CE" approval for sale in Europe from Emitech (the equivalent of the
Underwriters Laboratory in the United States).
Management has made a strategic business decision to hold introduction of
the FIMS into the marketplace until patent searches are completed. Management
anticipates that upon its introduction into the marketplace, the integration of
the FIMS into the AP+Series will be completed. There can be no assurance,
however, that such integration will be successful.
Moreover, during fiscal year 1996, APP LLC entered into a grant award
agreement with the Technology Deployment Center, Pinellas County, FL. in
conjunction with the University of South Florida ("USF") for the research,
development and design of the FIMS. USF had received a grant of approximately
$428,793 for the research, development and design of the FIMS and forwarded such
proceeds to a sub-contractor chosen jointly by USF and APP LLC. Pursuant to the
terms of the agreement, APP LLC agreed to (i) direct the research, development
and design of the FIMS and bring such technology to a saleable commercial
product, and (ii) repay to USF structured payments based on revenues generated
from the FIMS product sales. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, in the
event no revenues were generated from sales of the FIMS within two years after
completion of the funding, all rights to the technology relating to the FIMS
will revert exclusively to USF. As of the date of this Annual Report, the
Company has not sold FIMS products and according to the terms of the agreement,
rights to the technology relating to the FIMS should have reverted to USF. The
Company intends to pursue negotiations with USF regarding its respective
percentage ownership interest in the rights to the technology relating to the
FIMS in view of the fact that the Company expended its own funds for payment of
research and development expenses prior to and after such funding. There is no
guarantee that the Company will be successful in such negotiations and may
potentially loose all rights to the technology relating to the FIMS.
Other Products/Services
Pursuant to an agreement dated February 14, 1996 with AFT-IFTM, AFT-IFTM
purchased from the Company all rights, title and interest in the Pilot 2001
software. The Pilot 2001 software can only be used in connection with the
AP+Series units.
The Company spent approximately $402,980 during fiscal year ended December
31, 1999 on research and development expenses, and approximately $37,510 and
$339,349 on research and development expenses during the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING
The Company currently sells the AP+Series and related products primarily in
Europe, Africa and the United States. Customers for the AP+Series and related
products are primarily transport companies and driver training institutions. The
Company's current market concentration has been in Europe due to existing
relationships with certain clients and the wide acceptance of Smart card
technology in unrelated applications and industries. Management's primary
objective is to penetrate the European and North American market.
<PAGE>
For fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, the Company had three unrelated
customers which accounted for approximately 42%, 36% and 17%, respectively, of
total revenues. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has two
unrelated customers who account for approximately 80% and 20%, respectively, of
accounts receivables.
As the AP+Series and related products become recognized and if the Company
establishes a prominent presence within the European, North American and Middle
Eastern markets, management intends to increase the distributorship base by
focusing on major vehicle fleet operation. The Company intends to expand the
product line to accommodate the needs of the Company's customers in the
transportation industry and in other industries as well.
The Company also intends to seek to capture market niches for long-term
business planning in the fields of transportation and medicine. Some of the
proposed developments in the medical field include the use of Smart card
technology in doctors' offices, hospitals, ambulances and insurance companies.
Management believes that within the transportation industry, the AP+Series
products, coupled with Smart card technology, may be utilized in emergency
vehicles for police, fire and ambulance departments. In addition, the AP+Series
products coupled with the Smart card technology may be used by a variety of
businesses or governmental agencies to create and track drivers' licenses, or to
create passports, medical cards or insurance cards, which would provide instant
access to critical information.
The Company intends to market the AP+Series and related products through
the use of distribution agreements, joint ventures, direct sales and Internet
sales. As a result of management's experience in the international marketplace,
the Company expects that it will be able to adjust its marketing strategy in
each market in accordance with the particular customs, needs and methods of
conducting business of the particular culture. To aid in the marketing of the
AP+Series and related products, the Company intends to utilize training seminars
and advertising promotional tools, such as CD-ROMs, catalogs and participation
in trade shows. The Company intends to make its operational software available
in various languages to meet the needs of the particular markets.
The Company has representatives and distributors in Israel, Europe, Africa,
Mexico and India. APP LLC and World Asset Management, Inc., which is
headquartered in New Milton Hampshire, United Kingdom ("WAM"), entered into an
independent contractor's installation & service agreement dated May 8, 1997
whereby WAM agreed to (i) provide APP LLC with its expertise and "know-how" in

Far Eastern and Middle Eastern countries; (ii) establish an installation and
service network for the Far Eastern and Middle Eastern countries; and (iii)
arrange distribution channels and oversee manufacturing of the APP3000 dual axis
accelerometers.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the contractual arrangements with
WAM, AFM, Avignon and Darien primarily provide the Company with installation and
service management in the event the Company establishes a dominate presence in
these foreign markets through the distribution and sale of the AP+Series and
related products. Management believes that this would not only strengthen the
Company's structure and potential marketability of the AP+Series and related
products, but also places the Company in a favorable position to properly
service the AP+Series and related products sold and distributed in those foreign
markets.
Moreover, APP LLC and American Overseas Corporation, ("AOC") an investment
company formed under the laws of British Virgin Islands, entered into a
distributor agreement dated August 20, 1998 pursuant to which AOC agreed to
(i)assist in the establishment of marketing and distribution services for the
AP+Series and related products worldwide, and (ii) pay APP LLC $5,000,000 within
a thirty-six (36) month period for the non-exclusive unlimited rights to
purchase the AP+Series and related products at a price of 5% above cost and to
sell those products worldwide, with an initial payment of $2,000,000 due and
owing on August 20, 1999. During July 1999, the agreement was amended to provide
that (i) $1,000,000 payment due sixty days from the date that the Company's
shares of common stock commences trading, (ii) an additional $1,000,000 due and
owing within eight months from commenced trading, and (iii) the balance of
$3,000,000 will be due and owing on or before August 20, 2001.
COMPETITION
The onboard recording systems industry is highly competitive. The Company's
major competitors in the marketplace are primarily Cadec, a division of Cummings
Engine, Mobile Data Systems, Orpak, Qualcomm, VDO, Elextor, Rockwell Tripmaster
and Eaton Corporation. Such competition appears to be related to the Global
Positioning Systems. Data Express and Qualcomm have similar products, and Mobile
Data Systems has developed a system closely resembling the AP+Series products.
The Company may also face competition from other, similar companies with
financial resources far greater than those of the Company. However, management
believes that although there is a large degree of competition, most competitive
systems only perform a portion of the functions that the AP+Series onboard
recording systems perform, giving the Company a competitive edge within the
industry.
<PAGE>
EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company employs seventeen on a
full time and/or on a part time basis. The Company's President and Chief
Executive Officer are primarily responsible for all day-to-day operations of the
Company. Other services are provided by outsourcing and management contracts. As
the need arises and funds become available, however, management may seek
additional employees as necessary in the best interests of the Company. The
following lists and describes certain services performed for the Company by
consultants.
(i) APP LLC and Bristol Consulting Ltd. ("Bristol") entered into a
consulting agreement dated July 30, 1998 pursuant to which Bristol

GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company's operations may be subject to a variety of laws, regulations
and licensing requirements of federal, state and local authorities. In certain
jurisdictions, the Company may be required to obtain licenses or permits, to
comply with standards governing employee selection and training, and to meet
certain standards in the design and manufacture of the AP+Series and related
products. The loss of such licenses, or the imposition of conditions to the
granting or retention of such licenses, could have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
The Company's advertising and sales practices may be regulated by both the
Federal Trade Commission and state consumer protection laws. Such regulations
may include restrictions on the manner in which the Company may promote the sale
of its products and the obligation of the Company to provide certain of its
customers with rescission rights.
The Company's manufacturing facilities, including research and development
facilities, if any, may be subject to regulation and inspection standards
established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"). As of
the date of this Annual Report, none of the Company's facilities have been
inspected for compliance with the standards established by OSHA.
The AP+Series and related products may be subject to regulation by various
agencies including the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway
Administration, as well as local authorities. Each of these agencies may
regulate various aspects of licensing, permitting and operations of the
AP+Series and related products.
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
The Company intends to enter the global marketplace which includes, but is
not limited to, the marketplaces within the United Kingdom, Israel, Africa and
the Far East and Middle East. As a result, the Company's operations and sale of
the AP+Series and related products in these countries may be subject to
political, economic, legal and other uncertainties occurring within these
countries. Changes in policies by the respective governments may result in
changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory
taxation, restrictions on imports and sources of supply, import duties,
corruption, and currency revaluation, all of which may materially and adversely
affect the Company. Moreover, economic reforms and growth in the Far East and
Middle East countries have been initiated, and success in certain countries has
been more prevalent than in others. The continuation or increase of any such
disparities regarding economic reforms and growth could affect the political and
social stability of the Far East and Middle East, and thus the operations of the
Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future controversies will not
arise which would threaten trade relations between the United States and the
respective country. In any of such eventualities, the business of the Company
could be adversely affected.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
This section should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements included herein. Certain of the financial statements and
the discussion below in the comparative fiscal year ends include reference to
amounts and balances of the Company and APP LLC for the entire year and from
October 28, 1998 (the acquisition date) to December 31, 1998 for IPS-NY.
<PAGE>
GENERAL
During the prior fiscal years, the Company focused primarily on the
research, development and design of the AP+Series products and related products,
and generated little revenues. During those prior fiscal years, the principals
of the Company invested personal funds, arranged for loans and lines of credit
from financial institutions, and secured grants to support the research and
development expenses of the Company in excess of $2,000,000.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company derives its revenues
principally from the marketing and sale of onboard recording systems, called the
AP+Series products, and other related products to customers generally in the
fleet management and driver training industries. Additional revenues are
generated by the Company through the implementation of maintenance contracts and
integration contracts and its subsidiaries.
During fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, sales of the AP+Series and
related products to the Company's customers accounted for approximately 100% of
total gross revenues. Although the Company intends to expand its marketing of
the AP+Series and related products in non-transportation industries, such as the
medical fields, management of the Company believes that sales of the AP+Series
and related products to its customers in the fleet management and driver
training industries will continue to be an important line of business for the
Company for the next several years.
FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMEBR
31, 1998
Results of Operation
The Company's net losses for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 were
approximately $1,173,172 compared to a net loss of approximately $605,241 for
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
Net revenues for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $701,526
and $237,688, respectively. Net revenues increased by approximately $463,838 or
195% for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998. Gross profit for fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998 amounted to $487,465 and $90,680, respectively, or a net increase of
$396,785. Gross profit percentages for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and
1998 were 69% and 38%, respectively, or a net increase of 82%.
The substantial increase in gross profit is a result of larger purchases of
systems, reduced component costs, price re-negotiations with vendors, and
redesign of the PC board layout for cost economy. The increase in sales and
gross profit during fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998 is attributable to a stronger marketing campaign,
fulfillment of major contracts, which are either executed or in the final stage
of execution. The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various
agreements with certain entities in order to establish distribution channels,
corporate structures, contract applications in foreign and domestic countries,
performance of certain pilot tests, and development of new products.
The substantial increase in net loss during fiscal year ended December 31,
1999 as compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, however, is
attributable primarily to a substantial increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses and an increase in research and development expenses.
Selling, general and administration expenses include general corporate overhead,
administrative salaries, shipping and warehousing costs, selling expenses,
consulting costs, and professional fees.
<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year ended December
31, 1999 and 1998 were $1,155,616 and $565,301, respectively (an increase of
$590,315 or 104%). The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 were primarily due to the Company
incurring costs associated with its marketing efforts, officers salaries,
professional fees, and personnel costs
Research and development expenses for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999
were $402,980 as compared to $37,510 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 (an
increase of $365,470). The increase in research and development expenses is
primarily due to the development of an upgradeable modular unit to assist in the
diversification of the Company's product lines, the dedication of significant
funds to the development of an advanced system which will be used in ambulances
pertaining to the contract between the Company and North Shore - Long Island
Hospital, and the Company's ongoing perfecting and expanding of the capabilities
of its products. Moreover, the expenditures for research and development were
reduced during fiscal year 1998 since the Company had limited funds and utilized
available funds for the anticipated marketing and sale of its equity securities
during 1999. During 1998, the Company had redirected its use of available funds
in order to obtain contracts and raise additional funds, which were utilized for
further research and development expenses and establishment of a corporate
infrastructure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will
continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments
relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in
operations.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company's current assets were $315,559 and its
current liabilities were $2,541,954. As of December 31, 1999, the current
liabilities exceeded current assets by $2,296,395. As of December 31, 1999, the
Company's long term assets were $509,007 and its long term liabilities were
$598,005. As of December 31, 1999, long term liabilities exceed long term assets
by $89,048.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company's total assets were $846,388 and its
total liabilities were $3,140,009. As of December 31, 1999, total liabilities
exceeded total assets by $2,293,621.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company was not in compliance with terms of
loans due to financial institutions totaling $1,022,358 requiring the loans to
be reflected as current liabilities. To date the financial institutions have not
taken any actions and are in the process of restructuring and or waiving the
default of the loans. Also, included in the current liabilities are accounts
payable of $833,278, $435,675 of accrued expense of which $360,000 is accrued
officers salaries, $92,760 of payroll taxes, $19,917 of other taxes payable and
$137,966 of customer deposits. Long term liabilities include loans due to
financial institutions of $25,701, convertible notes payable of $150,000, loans
due Officers and Directors of $422,354. The Company's assets consisted primarily
of cash of $23,746; $147,071 in accounts receivable; $130,121 in inventory;
$14,621 in prepaid expenses; $323,314 owing from KMR; and $159,997 owing from an
officer of the Company and $25,696 of other assets.
<PAGE>
Stockholders' deficiency increased from ($1,760,467) for fiscal year ended
1998 to ($2,496,560) for fiscal year ended 1999.
The Company may have violated federal and state securities laws in
connection with the sales of its shares of Common Stock to investors under a
private placement offering that was not registered under the federal securities
laws. The offering and sale of such shares of the Company's Common Stock
pursuant to its Private Placement Memorandum dated January 27, 1999 and April 7,
1999, respectively, was conducted pursuant to an exemption from registration in
accordance with Regulation D, Rule 504, under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Securities Act"). Because the Company continued to sell its
shares of Common Stock to investors after the date the Company effectively
became a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Exchange Act"), such exemption from registration under Regulation D
may not be available to reporting companies. As a result, the private placement
may have violated federal securities laws. Moreover, certain state securities
rules and regulations may not have been complied with to ensure availability of
a private placement transactional exemption. Management estimates that the
Company's potential rescission liability is in the amount of $202,939. As of the
date of this Annual Report, no investors have requested the Company to
repurchase their shares of Common Stock.
MATERIAL COMMITMENTS
In connection with the research and development expenses and other overhead
costs over the prior fiscal years, the Company, through its subsidiaries and
other arrangements with its officers/shareholders, borrowed funds pursuant to
various contractual arrangements representing the following material
commitments.
A significant and estimated commitment for the Company for fiscal year 2000
is the amounts due and owing under a promissory note with Bank of Smithtown. On
November 30, 1998, the Company, its subsidiaries, IPS-NY and APP LLC, and
Richard Goodhart entered into a settlement agreement with the Bank of Smithtown
in connection with a default by IPS-NY under a promissory note dated April 13,
1995 in the amount of $100,000 and a second promissory note dated December 24,
1996 in the amount of $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement
agreement, IPS-NY made two separate payments of $23,208 and $20,000 during
November 1998 and a payment of $16,792 during March 1999. Additionally, IPS-NY
executed a new promissory note in the amount of $60,620 bearing interest at 9%
per annum and maturing in one year (representing the accrued and unpaid interest
on the original note of $500,000). In lieu of canceling the original $500,000
note, the Company also executed a new promissory note in the amount of $500,000
bearing interest at prime plus 2% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the new
promissory note, the Company is required to make monthly payments of (i) $5,000
during the first year (December 1, 1998 through November 30, 1999), (ii) $10,000
during the second year (December 1, 1999 through November 30, 2000, and
(iii)$15,000 during the third year (December 1, 2000 through November 30, 2001.
At the end of the third year, the entire principal balance remaining together
with any accrued interest shall be due and payable. Such notes associated with
the settlement agreement are secured by the assets of the Company and the shares
of Common Stock owned of record by Richard Goodhart, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer. As of December 31, 1999, the principal balance on the newly
issued $500,000 note, the newly issued $60,620 note and the original $100,000
note are $490,774, $43,828 and $42,742, respectively. As of December 31, 1999,
the Company was not in compliance with its monthly payment schedule. However, as
of this Annual Report, the Company has become current with all monthly payments.
<PAGE>
A significant and estimated commitment for the Company for fiscal year 2000
is the amounts due and owing to HSBC Bank USA (formerly Marine Midland Bank)
pursuant to a one-year promissory note dated September 17, 1996 The terms of the
promissory note require the Company to make payments of interest only at prime
plus 2% per annum, with the principal amount of $470,715 due on demand. Such
promissory note is approximately 90% guaranteed by the Small Business
Administration. On April 12, 2000, the Company received approval from HSBC Bank
for a long-term payout, subject to documentation.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company owes approximately $92,760 for payroll
taxes and related estimated penalties and interest. The Internal Revenue Service
and the Employment Commission of the State of New York have filed liens against
the Company, respectively. Such taxing authorities have the power to generally
seize the assets of the Company to pay off such amounts due and owing. As of the
date of this Annual Report, the Company has not entered into any formal
contractual arrangements with either taxing authority for repayment of such
taxes, penalties and interest. Management intends to continue making payments as
funds are available until such arrangements are consummated.
The Company has entered into employment agreements dated January 1, 1999
with three of its executive officers/directors, Mr. Richard Goodhart, Mr. Steven
Wahrman and Mr. Jean Paul Daveau (collectively, the "Employment Agreements").
Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Employment Agreements, commencing
January 1, 1999, each officer/director will receive (i) an annual salary of
$120,000 (of which the first six months of fiscal year 1999 have been deferred
and accrued without interest); (ii) an annual cash bonus equal to one percent
(1%) of the annual net profits for the preceding fiscal year; and (iii) stock
options to purchase 500,000 shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at
$1.45 per share within five years from the effective date of the employment
agreement. Other benefits provided for in each respective employment agreement
are disability and health insurance coverage, automobile and expense allowances
and travel and entertainment allowances. As of December 31, 1999, the Company
has accrued approximately $360,000 in aggregate salary and paid $-0-.
A significant and estimated commitment for the Company for fiscal year 2000
is the execution by the Company of a $250,000 convertible promissory note dated
December 16, 1999. The terms of the note are interest is to be accrued at 15%
per annum payable monthly in arrears or upon maturity. The principal is payable
in full on December 31, 2001. The convertible promissory note contains a
provision that beginning January 31, 2001, the note is payable on demand upon
providing a ten day demand. The note is convertible at any time any time
subsequent to September 30, 2000 into restricted shares of Common Stock at the
rate of $1.45 per share. In addition, there is a prepayment penalty provision if
the Company prepays the note in the first thirteen months. At December 31, 1999,
the Company had received $150,000 related to the convertible promissory note and
the remaining $100,000 received during January 2000. On February 27, 2000 and
March 21, 2000, the Company executed an additional convertible promissory note
with the same individual in the amount of $50,000 each, with the same terms as
discussed above.
<PAGE>
Moreover, during March of 2000, the Company executed five additional
convertible promissory notes aggregating $254,000. The terms of the notes are
interest is to be accrued at 10% per annum payable monthly in arrears or upon
maturity or any earlier conversion of the respective note. The convertible
promissory notes each contain a provisions that at any time subsequent to
September 30, 2000, the noteholder will have the right to convert the principal
and accrued interest in whole or in part into shares of Common Stock at $1.45
per share.
MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
Historically, the Company's focus has been primarily on the research,
design and development of its products. During fiscal year 1999, the Company
began to emerge from the research and development phase into worldwide marketing
and distribution of its developed products.
Management intends to capture not less than approximately 1% of the North
American market potential on commercial vehicles. The European Market has and
will continue to provide substantial sales of the Company's products due to
government mandates as well as wide acceptance of products containing smart card
technology.
The Company has been able to establish and maintain open lines of credit
with Nexus Corporation, a division of Jaco Electronics, for the manufacture of
its product line. Management believes that this will enable the Company to
manufacture unlimited quantities of product through this source. As of the date
of this Annual Report, approximately 600 units have been produced which equate
to resale revenues of approximately $1,200,000 over the next twelve months. As
of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has entered into contractual
arrangements pertaining to installation, integration, distribution and
maintenance of its product line valued at approximately $6,000,000.
The Company has sold the non-exclusive distribution rights for its products
to American Overseas Corporation ("AOC") for $5,000,000. This amended agreement
provides for payment of (i) $1,000,000 within sixty days from the date that the
Company's securities become publicly traded, (ii) an additional $1,000,000 to be
paid within eight months from the date the Company's securities become publicly
traded, and (iii) $3,000,000 to be paid on or before August 20, 2001.
Furthermore, under the terms of the agreement, AOC will purchase the Company's
products at distributor's cost.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has sold systems to Shell
Oil, Chevron and NLNG for their respective oil field fleet operations.
Additionally, the Company is currently fulfilling its contractual obligation
with North Shore - Long Island Jewish Health Systems to install a sophisticated
ambulance locator system integrating the Global Positioning Satellite system and
CDPD communication technology (a form of wireless communication) for their fleet
of ambulances. The Company has made significant strides in the development and
implementation of this product and anticipates the system to be operational by
the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2000.

SOURCES OF FUNDING
The Company received approximately $699,28 in gross proceeds from
subscriptions for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Private Placement
Memorandums dated January 27, 1999 and April 7, 1999, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Accident Prevention Plus, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Accident
Prevention Plus, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1999,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income,
stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of Accident Prevention Plus (UK) Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary, whose statements reflect total assets of $53,815 as of December 31,
1999, with no revenues for the related years then ended. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Accident Prevention
Plus (UK) Limited, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company, as of December 31, 1999 has a
working capital deficiency of $2,226,395. In addition, for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company reported net losses amounting to
$1,173,837 and $605,241, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLUS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION
THE COMPANY
-----------
Accident Prevention Plus, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the
State of Nevada on October 28, 1998 to become the holding company of
Accident Prevention Plus, LLC a Limited Liability Company, (the "LLC") and
International Purchasing Services, NY, Inc. ("IPS-NY").
INC-NY/LLC
----------
Accident Prevention Plus, Inc. ("Inc-NY") was incorporated during 1993
in the State of New York as a standard corporation. During February 1996,
Inc-NY was reorganized and converted to a Limited Liability Company. The
LLC is treated as a partnership for financial and income tax purposes. The
entities are engaged in the design, marketing and distribution of onboard
computer recording and fuel monitoring systems for commercial and fleet
vehicles.
IPS-NY
------
IPS-NY was incorporated in the State of New York on March 3, 1993 to
provide various support services to the LLC including but not limited to
shipping, receiving and warehousing. IPS-NY was also responsible for
purchases of product components, providing financing, and other general
overhead support for the LLC and for its own business purposes. The sole
shareholder of IPS-NY was also the majority partner of the LLC.
REORGANIZATION
--------------
During October 1998, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
(the "Reorganization Agreement") the Company issued 14,205,970 shares of
its common stock to the partners of the LLC for 100% of the LLC. The
Company accounted for the transaction with the LLC as a corporate
reorganization and accordingly, no goodwill was recorded. In connection
with the reorganization, the founding partners in the LLC were elected as
the officers of the Company. Accordingly, after such reorganization, the
LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
ACQUISITION OF IPS-NY
---------------------
Simultaneously with the reorganization during October 1998, the Company
acquired from IPS-NY's sole shareholder, 100% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of IPS-NY by issuing 2,975,000 shares of its common stock. The
acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION (cont'd)
KMR TELECOM, LTD.
-----------------
Simultaneously with the reorganization during October 1998, the Company
also intended to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
KMR Telecom, Ltd ("KMR"), a corporation organized under the laws of India
for 800,000 shares of its common stock. During June of 1999, it was
discovered that the laws of India prohibit a foreign entity from holding
more than a 49% equity interest in a company organized under the laws of
India. Accordingly, the Company and the shareholders of KMR entered into a
rescission agreement canceling the transaction. The financial statements do
not reflect the intended acquisition. In accordance with the rescission
agreement, the rescission was effectuated retroactively to October 1998.
APP U.K. Ltd.
-------------
On September 13, 1999, Accident Prevention Plus (UK) Limited ("APP UK") was
formed as a private limited company under the laws of England and Wales to
provide sales, marketing and technical support for the Company in Europe.
APP UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On December 17, 1999,
Accident Prevention Plus, France SARL ("APP France") was formed as a
private Company under the laws of France. APP France is a wholly owned
subsidiary of APP UK.
NOTE 2 -- GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company generated net losses of
$1,173,837 and $605,241, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31,
1999, the Company has a working capital deficiency amounting to $2,226,395.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company owes approximately $93,000 of payroll
taxes and related penalties and interest. Certain taxing authorities have
filed liens against the Company as a result of the unpaid payroll taxes.
Should the taxing authorities take further actions, the results could be
detrimental to the Company's ability to operate. In addition, the Company
has not complied with the payment schedules of their bank debt. Should the
banks take action against the Company the results could adversely affect
the Company.
The Company is aggressively attempting to obtain additional contracts in
order to mitigate future losses. The Company is in the process of complying
with the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules regarding
fulfillment of eligibility Rule 15c2-11, adopted under the Securities Act
of 1934, as amended, in order for broker dealers to publish quotations in
the Company's securities. Management is optimistic that this will enable
the Company to raise additional capital. However, there can be no assurance
that it will be able to obtain additional contracts, pay its payroll taxes
or to comply with SEC eligibility requirements for publishing of quotations
in the Company's securities.
These facts raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments
relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue in operation.

NOTE 3 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Principles of consolidation
---------------------------
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1999 include's
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, LLC, IPS-NY
and APP UK (the "Companies") after elimination of all significant
intercompany transactions and accounts. The statements of operations and
cash flows for the year ended December 31 1998 include the balances of the
Company and the LLC for the entire year and from October 28, 1998, (the
acquisition date) to December 31, 1998 for IPS-NY since purchase accounting
requires the elimination of all operating transactions of the acquired
subsidiary prior to the date of the acquisition. If the operating
transactions of IPS-NY from January 1, 1998 to October 27, 1998 were
included in the December 31, 1998 consolidated statement of operations, the
effect of major components would be as follows:
Proforma
--------
Net Sales $ 443,088
Cost of Sales 202,950
----------
Gross Profit 240,138
Expenses 801,424
----------
Net Loss $(561,286)
==========
b) Cash and cash equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
c) Accounts Receivable
-------------------
The Company utilizes the allowance method for recognizing the
collectibility of its accounts receivables. The allowance method recognizes
bad debt expense based on a review of the individual accounts outstanding
based on the surrounding facts. As of December 31, 1999, no allowance was
deemed necessary by management.
d) Inventory
---------
Inventory amounting to $130,121 at December 31, 1999, consists of
components and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost (using
the specific identification method) or market. All inventory is pledged as
collateral pursuant to the notes payable as discussed in Note 6.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 3 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
e ) Income taxes
------------
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes" which requires the use of the "liability method" of accounting for
income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax
bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Current income taxes
are based on the respective periods' taxable income for federal and state
income tax reporting purposes.
f) Earnings per share
------------------
During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 replaced the previously required
reporting of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share, respectively. Unlike the previously reported
primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive
effects of stock options. Diluted earnings per share are similar to the
previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. Earnings per share
amounts for all periods presented have been calculated in accordance with
the requirements of SFAS No. 128.
g) Use of estimates
----------------
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
h) Fair value disclosure at December 31, 1999
------------------------------------------
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses are a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of
the short-term maturity of these investments. The carrying value of
long-term debt closely approximates its fair value based on the
instruments' interest rate terms maturity date, and collateral, if any in
comparison to the Company's incremental borrowing rates of similar
financial instruments.
i) Organizational costs
--------------------
Organizational costs consist of legal costs incurred in the establishment
of the Company. Organizational costs are being amortized on a straight-line
basis over a five year estimated useful life.

j) Effect of New Accounting Standards
----------------------------------
The Company does not believe that any recently issued accounting standards,
not yet adopted by the Company, will have a material impact on its
financial position and results of operations when adopted.
k) Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation
which is provided on the straight line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets which range between five and seven years. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
l) Deferred Offering Costs
-----------------------
Deferred offering costs consist of $10,000 in professional fees at December
31, 1998 in connection with the Company's private placement memorandum
affected during 1999, which were included in prepaid expenses. Accordingly,
all such costs were charged to additional paid-in capital during the year
ended December 31, 1999.
m) Research and Development Costs
------------------------------
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs
amounted to $402,980 and $37,510 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
n) Foreign Currency Translation
----------------------------
The accounts of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S.
dollars using the current rate method. Assets and liabilities are
translated at the year-end exchange rate and revenues and expenses are
translated at average exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from the
translation of financial statements of foreign operations are deferred in
the "Foreign currency translation adjustment" account included as a
separate component of shareholders' equity. The functional currency of all
the Company's subsidiaries is the United State dollar with the exception of
APP U.K. and APP France whose functional currency's are the British pound
sterling and the French franc.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end rate of exchange. Non-monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at
historic rates and revenue and expenses are translated at average rates
prevailing during the month of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses
arising from the translation of long-term monetary assets and liabilities
are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life
of the asset or liability. All other exchange gains or losses are reflected
in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 1999 and
1998, there were no foreign exchange gains or losses associated with
long-term monetary assets and liabilities.

o) Segment Information
-------------------
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 supercedes SFAS 14,
Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, replacing the
"industry segment" approach with the "management" approach. The management
approach designated the internal organization that is used by management
for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of
the Company's reportable segments. SFAS No.131 also requires disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The
adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not significantly affect the disclosures of
segment information previously reported.
p) Comprehensive Income
--------------------
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Accounting for Comprehensive Income,"
during the fiscal year ended 1998. This statement establishes standards for
reporting and disclosing comprehensive income and its components (including
revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Company had comprehensive income of $665 and $nil
in the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
NOTE 4 -- PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are as follows at:
December 31, 1999

Less: accumulated depreciation 35,866
------------
$ 21,822
============
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
amounted to $6,837 and $5,265, respectively.
NOTE 5 -- DUE FROM AFFILIATE
Due from affiliate consists of a loan receivable from KMR Telecom, Ltd.
("KMR") a corporation organized under the laws of India, which is
affiliated with the Company through common stock ownership with the chief
executive officer of the Company. The loan is held by IPS - NY and bears
interest at 12% per annum. The Company's Chief Executive Officer has
pledged to the Company his 49% interest in KMR as collateral for the loan.
At December 31, 1999 the loan due from KMR amounted to $323,314. Interest
income recorded by the Company in connection with the loan amounted to
$35,454 and $5,610, respectively for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998.

NOTE 6 -- NOTES PAYABLE
a) Bank of Smithtown
-----------------
On November 30, 1998, the Company, IPS-NY, LLC and the Company's Chief
Executive Officer entered into a settlement agreement with the Bank of
Smithtown ("Smithtown") in connection with a default by IPS-NY under a U.S.
Small Business Administration ("SBA") promissory note dated April 13, 1995
in the sum of $100,000 and a second promissory note dated December 24, 1996
in the sum of $500,000. In accordance with the settlement, IPS-NY made the
following payments as scheduled: $23,208 and $20,000 both in November 1998
and $16,792 in March 1999.
Additionally, IPS-NY executed a new note in the amount of $60,620 bearing
interest at 9% per annum and maturing in one year. Such note represented
the accrued and unpaid interest on the original IPS-NY note of $500,000
dated December 24, 1996. Lastly, in lieu of canceling the original IPS-NY
$500,000 note dated December 24, 1996, the Company executed a new note in
the amount of $500,000, bearing interest at prime plus 2% per annum. The
new note was to be paid at the rate of $5,000 per month during the first
year, $10,000 per month during the second year and $15,000 per month during
the third year. At the end of the third year, the entire principal balance
remaining, together with any accrued interest, shall be due and payable. As
of December 31, 1999 the principal balances on the newly issued $500,000
note, the newly issued $60,620 note and the original $100,000 SBA note are
$490,774, $43,828 and $42,742, respectively.
All notes associated with the above settlement agreement are secured by the
Company's common stock owned by its Chief Executive Officer and all assets
of the Company.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company was not in compliance with the payment
schedule as agreed to above for the $500,000 note and $60,620 note. To
date, Smithtown has not taken any action against the Company, but should
they decide to proceed with an action the impact could have a material
effect upon the Company. Due to the non-compliance, these notes with
Smithtown have been classified as current liabilities at December 31, 1999.
b) HSBC Bank USA (formerly Marine Midland Bank)
--------------------------------------------
On September 17, 1996, the LLC borrowed $500,000 by executing a promissory
note with HSBC Bank USA (formerly Marine Midland Bank) ("HSBC") with the
note being partially guaranteed by the SBA. Such note was for a term of one
year. The current terms of the note are payments of interest only at prime
plus 2% per annum and due on demand. The Company is currently in the
process of negotiating a long-term payout for this note with HSBC. As of
December 31, 1999 the balance due is $470,715 and is classified as current.

transaction exemption. As such, the proceeds of $202,939 from the issuance
of 139,958 shares of common stock through December 31, 1999 have been
classified outside of equity in the balance sheet and classified as common
stock subject to rescission. As of December 31, 1999, no investors have

NOTE 10 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a) Payroll taxes
-------------
As of December 31, 1999, the Company owes approximately $93,000, of payroll
taxes and related estimated penalties and interest. Federal and state tax
liens have been filed against the Company in connection with unpaid payroll
taxes. Although the Company has not entered into any formal repayment
agreements with the respective tax authorities, it has been attempting to
make payments as funds become available.
b) Advances from grant
-------------------
In 1996, Inc-NY entered into a grantee award agreement with the University
of South Florida ("USF") for the project entitled Fuel Intake Monitoring
System ("FIMS"). USF received a grant ($428,793) for the project and
forwarded the proceeds directly to a sub-contractor chosen by Inc - NY and
USF. Inc.-NY's role was to direct the project, fund the research and
development and to bring the product technology to a saleable commercial
product. Pursuant to the agreement, USF was to receive structured
repayments based on revenues generated from the product sales. Since there
are no revenues within two years after the completion of the USF funding,
all rights to the product technology have in accordance with the contract
reverted to USF. The Company intends to pursue negotiations with USF
regarding its respective percentage ownership interest in the rights to the
technology relating to the FIMS in view of the fact that the Company
expended its own funds for payment of research and development expenses
prior to and after such funding. There is no guarantee that the Company
will be successful in such negotiations and may potentially loose all
rights to the technology relating to the FIMS.
c) 401K Employee Benefit Plan

-----------------------------
During January and April 1999, the Company commenced two Limited
Offering Memorandums (the "Offerings") pursuant to Rule 504 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Company's first offering was for 500,000 shares of its common stock at
$1.45 per share before a 10% selling commission. Such offering was
terminated during April 1999 with the Company selling approximately
340,000 shares. The second offering in April 1999 was for 408,475

$640,018 after offering costs.
Common stock sold subsequent to August 3, 1999 pursuant to the
Company's limited offering memorandums, may be in violation of the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, certain state
securities rules and regulations may not have been complied with to
ensure availability of a private placement transaction exemption. As
such, the proceeds of $202,939 from the issuance of 139,958 shares of
common stock through December 31, 1999 have been classified outside of
the equity section in the balance sheet and classified as common stock
subject to rescission. As of December 31, 1999, no investors have
requested that the Company repurchase their shares.
NOTE 12 -- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in
the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred
taxes related to differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax reporting
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax
return consequences of these temporary differences, which will either be
taxable or deductible in the year when the assets or liabilities are
recovered or settled. Accordingly, measurement of the deferred tax assets
and liabilities attributable to the book-tax basis differentials are
computed at a rate of 34% federal, 9% state and 20% for APP-UK pursuant to
SFAS No. 109.
The only material tax effect of significant items comprising the Companies'
current deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1999 is the Companies' net
operating carryforward losses "NOL's" which amounted to approximately
$1,202,000, $575,000 and $57,000, respectively, for the Company, IPS-NY and
APP-UK. The deferred tax asset associated with the Companies' NOL's
amounted to approximately $602,000 as of December 31, 1999.
A portion of IPS-NY's net operating loss carry forwards are subject to
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 382, which limits the use
of net operating loss carry forwards when changes in ownership of more than
50 percent occur during a three year testing period.
In accordance with SFAS 109, the Company has recorded a 100% valuation
allowance for such deferred tax asset since management could not determine
that it was "more likely than not" that the deferred tax asset would be
realized in the future. The Company's NOL's amounting to approximately
$1,834,000 will expire in the years 2008 through 2014 if not utilized
prior.

employment agreements with its then Vice President of Engineering, Chief
Executive Officer and President. The employment agreements were for a term
of five years with annual salaries of $51,600, $60,000 and $60,000
respectively. The Vice President of Engineering, pursuant to his agreement,
was also entitled to commissions on the LLC's gross sales ranging from 2%
to 1/2% based on certain sales levels. In addition, all of the employment
agreements allowed for certain other fringe benefits such as health
insurance, travel and entertainment reimbursements, full reimbursement of
auto insurance, and $500 per month each towards auto leases. As a result of
the LLC not generating any profits, none of the salaries pursuant to the
above agreements were paid through December 31, 1998.
Accordingly, effective December 31, 1998, the three officers of the LLC
signed a release which forgave all past consideration pursuant to the
employment agreements and entered into new agreements effective January 1,
1999 as discussed below.
On January 1, 1999, the Company entered into three separate employment

of $120,000 with annual increases based on The Consumer Price Index, along
with a cash bonus of 1% of the annual net profits of the Company. Each
agreement includes benefits such as disability and health insurance
coverage, automobile and expense allowances, travel and entertainment
allowances, and options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at $1.45 per share within five years from the effective date of the
agreements. The foregoing options are intended to qualify as incentive
stock options. Lastly, pursuant to the agreements, all three officers had
agreed to defer the first six months of their salary, which were to be paid
at a later date. As of December 31, 1999, the Company has accrued $360,000
of salary and paid $ 0 to the officers.

repayment until December 31, 2001. The LLC has continued to
accrue interest on the note at the rate of 8% per annum through

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN
On January 1, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "SOP") which provided for the grant of
options to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.45
per share. The purpose of the SOP is to make options available to directors,
management and significant contractors of the Company in order to encourage them
to secure an increase on reasonable terms of their stock ownership in the
Company and to remain in the employ of the Company, and to provide them
compensation for past services rendered.
The SOP is administered by the Board of Directors which determines the
persons to be granted options under the SOP, the number of shares subject to
each option, the exercise price of each option and the option period, and the
expiration date, if any, of such options. The exercise of an option may be less
than fair market value of the underlying shares of Common Stock. No options
granted under the SOP will be transfereable by the optionee other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution and each option will be exercisable,
during the lifetime of the optionee, only by such optionee.
The exercise price of an option granted pursuant to the SOP may be paid in
cash, by the surrender of options, in Common Stock, in other property, including
the optionee's promissory note, or by a combination of the above.
As of the date of this Annual Report, options have been granted in the
aggregate of 1,500,000 shares to the following individuals. All options granted
are exercisable by the respective individual from the date of grant through the
date of expiration.
