ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
World Wide Video, Inc. (the "Issuer" or "Company" or "WWV") was organized
under the corporate laws of the State of Colorado on April 9, 1998. The Company
designs and manufactures technology and products for the Video Telephony market.
WWV has been a development stage company during the final design and delivery of
custom ultra high speed hardware H.324 Codec (audio/video compression/
decompression) technology. During the period to date, the founders have
developed prototype products, written proprietary enabling software/firmware,
presented the products to large potential customers, and established strategic
partners/distribution channels throughout the United States in anticipation of
market introduction of its products. The Company acquired 100% of World Wide
Video, Inc. of Virginia in a share exchange in 1998. World Wide Video, Inc. of
Virginia was the predecessor company which commenced the product design.
Research and product design was conducted by the two key principals, John
Perry and Frank Maas, over the last four years. World Wide Video, Inc. of
Virginia was established in July of 1997, and ongoing work by Messrs Perry and
Maas in the area of video over the plain old telephone system (POTS) was
contributed to the Virginia Corporation.
(a) The Company owns one subsidiary: World Wide Video Inc. of Virginia. The
Company currently maintains its offices 102A North Main Street, Culpeper, VA
22701. Its telephone number is (540) 727-7551.

- - -------------------------------------------
The Company offered and sold 200,000 shares at $.50 per share pursuant to
Regulation D in early 1998. In the spring of 1998, the Company sold 75,000
shares at $2.00 per share to capitalize its initial product development. In
mid-1998 into 1999, the Company sold 233,987 shares at $2.75 per share to
capitalize its product development to date.
(d) Narrative Description of Business.
THE COMPANY BUSINESS
The Company has had very limited operations within the last two years, and such
operations have been restricted to design of products and small consulting and
development contracts. Most of the last two years, WWV has been developing new
video telephony products. Production for the first in a series of products is
scheduled for mid-1999.
The Company products deliver high speed television signals over the plain old
telephone system lines (POTS). The market potential for video communications
included every desktop computer, home computer and every business that needs to
communicate, especially as video systems become more and more affordable.
Multimedia Research Group forecasts that the video phones market and video
conferencing markets will total over $15 billion within the next five years as
the video technology becomes more common place. The Company's technology is
designed to provide video telephony for the individual user (home), small to
large businesses, the security, and tele-medicine markets. WWV expects the
market growth of these systems to be similar to that of the modem. At first
modems were only used by highly paid business people who traveled extensively
and needed to connect to their office computer while they were away. Now most
2
<PAGE>
computer users use modems to hook to the "Internet," to access electronic
bulletin boards and to conduct research. Modems have become standard equipment
for most computers, and video may become standard equipment.
The International Telecommunication Union H.324 standard permits video, voice
and data to be shared simultaneously over a simple telephone modem connection.
It is the first standard to specify interoperability over a single analog phone
line. Because of the H.324 standard, the next generation of video phones
products will be able to talk to one another and provide a foundation for gross
market expansion.
The Company's products operate over traditional, business and residential copper
wire telephone systems commonly referred to as Plain Old Telephone Systems
(POTS). POTS represent over 87% of the world's present telephone networks. The
Company's technology compresses video and data at a higher rate than anyone else
in the industry at this time. This gives the Company a tremendous advantage in
frame rate and quality, which has been one of the limiting factors on widespread
acceptance of the technology. The Company's products will provide video service
at a new plateau in availability, video quality and at a lower cost than is
available now.
The primary initial focus of business operations will be to complete product
development of the products described under "Business" and market such products
to target industry prospects.
COMPANY'S PRODUCT LINES
Product Name: Centurion(TM)
Target Markets: Security and Surveillance
3
<PAGE>
This is a major market segment for The Company's technology. Surveillance and
security information consisting of data, control, audio and high quality video
images can be transmitted over POTS between cities, states, and countries or
across the world.
The Centurion(TM) product family provides the first complete integrated system
allowing data, audio and video surveillance from remotely located sites.
Centurion is a small self contained hardware module that does not require a PC.
At 4" x 6" x 1.5" inches and 5 watts of power, it is the smallest
compression/decompression (codec) available to OEM designers and end-users. The
Centurion(TM) product family supports the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) H.324 standard for low bandwidth video over normal (analog) telephone
lines.
Spectator(TM) is a co-companion to Centurion(TM) that provides one-way video
transmission for low cost surveillance applications. Both Centurion(TM) and
Spectator(TM) are designed to be compatible with future hardware and software
releases from WWV. Other Centurion(TM) family products, in the development
stage, will support the ITU standards such as H.320 (for ISDN, ATM, T.1) and
H.323 (for Internet and Ethernet) will be supported. A high performance PCI
computer card will support all three ITU standards. "Wavelet" runtime and still
video compression will be added to provide superior performance using either
analog or digital telephone lines.
Using standard telephone lines, the Centurion(TM) puts any site, no matter how
distant, within customer access. The unique 2-way video motion provides complete
communication for virtually any surveillance or conferencing application. For
security monitoring there will be fewer unknown false alarms. For monitoring
cash related activities Centurion(TM) can provide an interface for POS (Point of
Sale) scanners. Centurion(TM) can control remotely situated pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ)
cameras and can be interfaced to security alarm equipment and other devices to
verify a triggered alarm.
Product Name: RAV(TM) Medical
Target Markets: Remote Audio/Video/Data Tele-Medicine, Home Care Medical
Monitoring, Doctor and Nursing Facilities, Private Care
4
<PAGE>
The RAV(TM) Medical allows health care professionals to keep abreast of new
procedures, consult on X-rays or other visual documents, obtain health
information by monitor home-bound patients and participate in conferences with
specialists using normal analog POTS telephone lines. RAV(TM) Medical
transportable convenience can inexpensively improve the quality of medical care
that provided to patients in remote areas and link patients to experts at
distant medical centers. The trend of HMOs and insurance companies to insist on
home recovery instead of in-hospital recovery has opened a new market for the
home monitoring of patient vital signs. A number of US and Japanese medical
firms are providing vital sign monitors connected to the phone network for
checking patient condition at random times. RAV(TM) Medical now provides the
missing link: a two-way video connection between the patient and the care
provider.

<PAGE>
Product Name: RAV(TM) Notebook
Target Markets: Portable Video Conferencing
The RAV(TM) Notebook (RAV(TM)) is a complete multimedia computer system in a
notebook. The RAV(TM) is designed as a tool for the business person. The system
is designed to provide the full range of typical multimedia computing (windows,
modems, color display, fax, microphone, speakers) plus full portable video
conferencing (shared files, shared applications, shared white boards and camera)
using POTS or an option for cellular video communication. The RAV(TM) is the
first Remote Audio-Video notebook that includes a custom removable ITU H.324
compatible hardware video compression/decompression (codec) module that frees up
the CPU and provides the highest quality video conferencing. For video
conferencing simply, plug a phone line into the RAV(TM) and use all the features
of a "top of the line" notebook:

In addition, the RAV(TM) includes an integrated high resolution color camera and
a removable video codec module that contains multiple high speed digital signal
processors to provide unparalleled frame rate and quality using the
International Telecommunication Union H.324 standard for low bit rate video
conferencing. Using the H.324 protocol, the RAV(TM) Notebook video conferencing
is Microsoft Net Meeting and International Telecommunication Union's T.120
software that provides for file transfers, shared applications, and shared white
boards.
Product Name: RAV(TM) STB
Target Markets: Video Communication (non-computer based) over POTS
The RAV(TM) STB (Set-Top-Box) does not require a computer for video, audio, and
data communication simultaneously over POTS. The RAV(TM) STB uses the industry
H.324 standards and operates using a standard television and telephone, and
operates with an internal video camera or an external standard NTSC video
camera. The telephone set is capable of making normal voice only calls when it
is not being utilized as a RAV(TM) STB. RAV(TM) STB near real-time, very high
quality, video imagery at a speed of approximately 10 to 20 frames per second is
displayed in a user sizable window on the TV screen. Web Browser capabilities
will be added in the near future as an option.
Product Name: RAV(TM) PCI
Target Markets: Video Communication (computer based) over POTS
The RAV(TM) PCI board is a low cost; high quality alternative to dedicated video
conferencing systems. It can be used for commercial applications as diverse as
desktop video conferencing and Tele-medicine to consumer personal use. The
RAV(TM) PCI is a standard half sized board that plugs into a PCI bus slot in a
personal computer (PC). It can be utilized for both consumer and business video
communications. It comes with software that is loaded into the PC and has a
7
<PAGE>
simple user interface. The RAV(TM) PCI installed in a workstation can make
industry standard H.324 video phone calls to any computer already using Intel's

(6) Competitive Conditions. The video electronics industry is highly
competitive. The Company faces competition from large numbers of large and small
companies, both public and private. Many of the competitive companies so engaged
possess greater financial and personnel resources than the Company and therefore
have greater leverage to use in acquiring prospects, hiring personnel
development and marketing. Accordingly, a high degree of competition in these
areas is expected to continue. The markets for video electronic products have
increased substantially in recent years, and competitors in such markets have
increased substantially.
There is no assurance that the Company's revenues, if any ever develop, will
not be adversely affected by these factors.
WORLD WIDE VIDEO, INC.
COMPETITION
WWV recognizes that the competition in this industry is intense. There are only
two H.324 hardware based codec manufacturers. Both have focused on the consumer
video conferencing market. The POTS industry players are 8x8, Inc. (see below
for more details) and to a lessor degree C-Phone, Inc. They have directed their
marketing toward the home video phone environment. The home based conferencing
market competes mainly on price. WWV has identified that video communication is
most valuable to businesses, not home users.
The WWV marketing approach will be directed toward industries that need remote
monitoring, as in security and surveillance, and quality video conferencing.
10
<PAGE>
Industry applications such as the security market are more dependent upon
acceptable video quality and video performance. World Wide Video hardware
provides superior video quality using newer digital technology. In addition to
the quality of the video, WWV initial products will be priced equal to or less
than the competition.
8x8, Inc. (formerly IIT) is the main competitor to WWV. 8x8 has been in the
business of selling video compression chips for about ten years. About four
years ago, they starting producing a consumer POTS Set-Top-Box, which is a H.324
codec with a built-in camera to be used with a standard TV for video display and
audio. The 8x8 quality is poor, the frame rate is slow (theoretical maximum is
15 SQCIF frames per second) and the minimum bandwidth is 19.2 Kbps. WWV's
Centurion(TM) product is about 1/4 the physical size and requires about 1/4 the
power. The Centurion(TM) frame rate is better (theoretical maximum is 20 SQCIF
frames per second) and the minimum bandwidth required is 9.6 Kbps. About a year
ago 8x8 starting developing POTS based security products using the same chip
designs. They have not made much progress again for the same reasons. Recent 8x8
announcements indicate that they may be leaving the consumer POTS area and that
now 8x8 is concentrating on industrial/commercial markets.
(7) Registrant Sponsored Research and Development. The Company has
continuing product development for which some research is required. The initial
product production is planned for mid-1999.
(8) Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations. The operations of
the Company are subject to local, state, and national laws and regulations in
the USA. To date, compliance with these regulations by the Company has had no
material effect on the Company's operations, capital, earnings, or competitive
position, and the cost of such compliance has not been material. The Company is
unable to assess or predict at this time what effect such regulations or
legislation could have on its activities in the future.
(a) State and Local Regulation - None.

The Company cannot determine to what extent future operations and
earnings of the Company may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or
changes in existing regulations at state or local level.
(b) National Regulation - None.
The Company cannot determine to what extent future operations and
earnings of the Company may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or
changes in existing regulations at a national (U.S.) level.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CHANGES
IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's only primary income source at this time is its limited
product sales. Capital from private placements or borrowing against assets are
required to fund future operations. The Company may make a private offering of
Stock.
The Company revenues for the twelve month period ending September 30, 1998,
were none. The Company commenced limited business operations in 1998 and showed
a significant net loss from operations for year ended September 30, 1998
resulting from costs of developing its products. The Company may continue to
show losses resulting from the start up of operations for an indeterminate time.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
During its operations ended September 30, 1998, the Company incurred expenses in
irregular amounts through year ended September 30, 1998. By "irregular," the
Company is referring to the fact that due to operations, fixed expenses such as
rent, general and administrative, accounting, telephone, etc. have been
variable, and sporadic. The Company has generated no business revenue from
operations up to September 30, 1998, but had revenues of $7,497 in the quarter
ended December 31, 1998. The Company has commenced limited production for orders
in hand with shipments in June 1999.
The Company incurred the following expenses in the past fiscal year end
quarter ended December 31, 1998.
13
<PAGE>
Fiscal Year Ended Quarter Ended

------------------ -----------------
Operating expenses
Product Development $373,928 $ 68,875
General and Administrative 97,148 47,134
-------- ---------
Total operating costs $468,326 $116,009
Cost of sales 0 6,497
It is expected that expenses will continue at a significantly increased rate
due to costs of developing and marketing products.
Cash Flows:
----------
The Company has achieved no revenues from any operations during the fiscal
year, ending September 30, 1998.
The income from operations for prior years compares as follows: Fiscal year
ended September 30, 1997 (none) and to fiscal year ended September 30, 1998
(none). The Company has never had any profits.
At this time, the Company is dependent upon private placements or loans for
future operations and funding. Therefore it will have to either borrow money, if
possible, or raise funds through subsequent public or private offerings to
continue operations until when, or if, it ever develops sufficient revenue from
its assets to maintain operations. If such revenues are not generated, or
participants not found the Company will be forced to develop another line of
business, or to finance its operations through borrowed funds, the sale of
assets it has, or enter into the sale of stock for additional capital none of
which may be feasible when needed. The Company has no management ability, and no
14
<PAGE>
financial resources or plans to enter any other business as of this date
although the Company will be open to suggestion and opportunity.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
- - ------------------------------
At fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 the Company's assets increased to
$343,056 compared to $0 at September 30, 1997. The increase was a result of
shareholder contributions and private placement of common shares.
The liabilities, all of which are current liabilities, increased significantly
as a result of product development costs to $175,780. At year end September 30,
1998, current liabilities were $175,780, an increase over the year ended
September 30, 1997 liabilities of $0.
Stockholders' equity at year ended September 30, 1998 was $167,276, an increase
in the 1997 stockholder's equity of 0. This was caused by the Company's failure
to generate any revenues from any source, in spite of continued expenses and
product investment and development costs which were funded from the proceeds of
private placements.
From the aspect of whether the Company can continue toward its business goal of
commencing production and sales of its products, the Company is deficient in
needed capital. Without continued capital infusions or loans or a combination of
capital and loans, the Company may not be able to carry out its business goals
to market products for future fiscal years.
Comparison of Results of Operation for the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 1998
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and 1997
- - --------
The Corporation had no operating revenues in 1998 or 1997.
15
<PAGE>
The Company incurred product development costs of $373,928 and operating
expenses, all of which are general and administrative in nature, totaling
$97,148 in fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $0 in 1997. As a
result of having no operating income, the Company incurred operating losses of
$(468,326) in year ended September 30, 1998 and $0 in year ended September 30,
1997. The Company anticipates that the trend of net losses will continue in 1999
as it continues to incur major expenses in attempting to develop and market its
products.
General and Administrative costs increased in 1998 to $97,148 from a total of
$0 in 1997. Expenses of a General and Administrative nature will increase
substantially as a result of registering its common stock under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, increased audit costs and expenses related to private
placements to fund product development and marketing costs and miscellaneous
operations costs.
Office expenses, including telephone, were $12,388 in fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998 and $0 in 1997. These expenses were paid from shareholder
contributions. This will increase in 1999 due to expanded operations.
1998 expense for accounting totaled $2,670, while in 1997 accounting and other
professional expenses were $0. Likewise, accounting and other professional
expenses in 1999 will be materially larger due to efforts required to keep the
Company's SEC filings current.
It should be expected that legal and accounting expenses will increase
substantially for 1999.
The per-share loss amounted to ($.06) in fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to $.00 in 1997.
16
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO SAME
PERIOD IN 1997.
The Company generated revenues totaling $7,497 in the first quarter of the new
fiscal year compared to no revenues in the period in 1997. The cost of sales was
$1,000 for net sales of $6,497.
The Company had product development costs of $68,875 in the quarter in 1998
compared to nominal costs in the same quarter in 1997. The general and
administrative expenses in the quarter in 1998 were $47,134 compared to nominal
in the same quarter in 1997. The Company had net operating losses of ($109,304)
in the quarter in 1998 compared to nominal in the quarter in 1997.
The Company, at quarter end, needed additional capital infusion, and only had
cash of $6,762 and other current assets of $237,804 which were illiquid. Its
current liabilities at quarter end were $198,429.
LIQUIDITY
- - ---------
The Company expects that its need for liquidity will increase for the coming
year due to its anticipation of expending funds for product marketing and
development.
Short Term.
- - ------------
On a short term basis, the Company does not generate enough revenue to cover
financial resources or plans tooperations. Based on prior experience, the
Company believes it will continue to have insufficient revenue to satisfy
current and recurring liabilities as it seeks to increase sales and produce
product. For short term needs the Company will be dependent on receipt, if any,
of private placement proceeds or loans.
17
<PAGE>
The Company's current assets were 244,596 at December 31, 1998, and exceeded its
current liabilities of $198,429. Of the current total liabilities, $115,000 was
owed to a shareholder group, who have agreed to convert the short term
liabilities to a one year loan. The Company had cash of $6,762 at December 31,
1998. It has recently completed a private placement of its securities for
additional capital.
Long Term.
- - -----------
On a long-term basis, the Company had assets consisting of property, equipment,
and other assets of $74,299 at December 31, 1998.
The Company has a start-up business at this time from which it generates small
income. Its operations have negative cash flow at this time. It is reliant upon
success of product marketing, at this time, for possibility of future income.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The primary capital resources of the Company are its stock only. Stock may be
illiquid because it is restricted in an unproved company with limited assets and
a start-up business.
The Company completed a private placement of 200,000 shares consisting of
common shares @ $.50 per unit for operating capital. The Offering ceased as of
May 1, 1998.
The Company completed a private placement of 75,000 shares consisting of common
shares @ $2.00 per unit for operating capital. The Offering ceased as of July 1,
1998.
The Company completed a private placement of 233,987 shares consisting of
common shares @ $2.75 per unit for operating capital in late 1998 and early
1999.
18
<PAGE>
As of the date of the registration statement, the Company has plans for capital
expenditures within the next year to manufacture product, which amounts exceed
its available capital by over $200,000.
Need for Additional Financing
The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs
for continuing operations. The Company will have to seek loans or equity
placements to cover such cash needs. In the event the Company is able to
complete a business combination during this period, lack of its existing capital
will be a sufficient impediment to allow it to accomplish the goal of
completeing a business combination. There is no assurance, however, that the
available funds will ultimately prove to be adequate to allow it to complete a
business combination, and once a business combination is compeleted, the
Company's needs for additional financing are likely to increase substantially.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or
other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional
funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover its expenses.
The Company discloses hereby that it is in a dispute with an entity, Albemarle
Investments, Ltd. regarding a purported consulting arrangement under which claim
has been made for $45,000 and issuance of common shares totaling 500,000. There
has been no further assertion of claim since September 14, 1998. The Company
disputes that any monies or shares are due and is prepared to assert legal
defenses in the event any legal action were to be taken.

- - ---------------
The Board of Directors has total discretion as to the extablishment of the
series or classes of preferred stock and the rights and privileges of such
classes. This type of discretion for Preferred Stock is often referred to as
"Blank Check." The Company has not, as of the date hereof, determined any class
or series of shares nor any rights or privileges. No preferred shares are
outstanding as of May 20, 1999. 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock are
authorized.
Common Shares
- - -------------
All shares, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable. All shares are
equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, and dividend rights.
Special shareholders' meetings may be called by the officers or director, or
upon the request of holders of at least one-tenth (1/10th) of the outstanding
shares. Holders of shares are entitled to one vote at any shareholders' meeting
for each share they own as of the record date fixed by the board of directors.
27
<PAGE>
There is no quorum requirement for shareholders' meetings. Therefore, a vote of
the majority of the shares represented at a meeting will govern even if this is
substantially less than a majority of the shares outstanding. Holders of shares
are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the board of
directors out of funds legally available therefor, and upon liquidation are
entitled to participate pro rata in a distribution of assets available for such
a distribution to shareholders. There are no conversion, pre-emptive or other
subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares. Reference is made
to the Company's Articles of Incorporation and its By-Laws as well as to the

the rights and liabilities of holders of shares. It should be noted that the
By-Laws may be amended by the board of directors without notice to the
shareholders. The shares of the Company do not have cumulative voting rights,
which means that the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares
voting for election of directors may elect all the directors if they choose to
do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than
fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of directors may not elect
all the directors if they choose to do so. In each event, the holders of the

1933, as amended (the "Act"). The offering was not made by means of any general
solicitation, shares were acquired without a view toward distribution thereof
and all purchasers represented that they were able to bear the economic risk of
their investment, and a representation letter to that effect was obtained from
each purchaser. The shares were issued with an investment legend thereon, and
stop transfer instructions were noted on the Registrant's stock transfer
records. Aggregate sales were less than $1,000,000. No offerings of unregistered
securities are currently being offered. Data Power, Inc. obtained shares through
a share exchange exempt under Section 4(2), and Charles Bonanno and Rochele
Hirsch received shares for services rendered as an exempt transaction under

manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company and with respect to any criminal proceeding if the party had no
reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
The general effect of the above indemnification provisions allow the employees,
directors, and officers of the Company to function and engage in the day to day
business activities of the Company knowing the Company will offer protection
against the threat or event of litigation subject to the limitations that said
individual must exercise good faith and reasonableness.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 or Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Company and Purpose
World Wide Video, Inc. was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia on July 16, 1997. World Wide Video, Inc. was organized under the laws
of the State of Colorado on April 9, 1998. On May 12, 1998, the Companies
adopted a plan of reorganization in which the Virginia corporation was merged
into the Colorado corporation. The surviving Company, World Wide Video, Inc. (a
Colorado Corporation), intends to design and manufacture technology and products
for the video telephony market. The principal activities of the Company since
inception have been raising capital, conducting research and product
development. The Company conducts its operations from offices in Culpeper,
Virginia.
The accounting and reporting policies of World Wide Video, Inc. (the Company)
conform with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect practices
appropriate to a development stage enterprise. These policies are summarized
below.
Development Stage Enterprise
Substantially all of the Company's operations have been in connection with the
establishment of a new business. The Company has elected early adoption of
Statement of Position 98-5 which permits expensing of costs of start-up
activities, including organization costs, as incurred.
Method of Accounting
The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.
Financial Statement Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Due to
their prospective nature, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The statements of cash flows classify changes in cash or cash equivalents
(short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible into cash with a
maturity of three months or less) according to operating, investing or financing
activities.
There were no income taxes or interest paid during the period ended September
30, 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Inventory
Inventory, which consists primarily of raw materials, is stated at the lower of
cost or market, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated
useful lives.
Leases which meet certain specified criteria are accounted for as capital assets
and liabilities, and those not meeting the criteria are accounted for as
operating leases.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and improvements which do not materially
extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to earnings. When
property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts, and the
resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.
Depreciation expense for the period ended September 30, 1998 was $2,364.
Technology Licenses
The Company capitalizes technology licenses. Technology licenses are carried at
cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is taken on the straight line
basis over five years.
Amortization expense for the period ended September 30, 1998 was $6,250.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs represent costs incurred in connection with raising
capital. Upon completion of an offering, the amount of the proceeds credited to
additional paid in capital is reduced by the deferred offering costs. Should an
offering be unsuccessful, these costs are charged to expense.
Deferred Revenue
The Company has deferred recognition of revenue from licenses sold until
marketable products are available for sale.
Income Taxes
The Corporation utilizes the liability method for accounting for income taxes.
The liability method accounts for deferred income taxes by applying enacted
statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to differences between
financial statement amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The
resulting deferred income tax liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax
laws and rates.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Income Taxes (continued)
Temporary differences consist of the difference in financial statement and
income tax bases for accounting for start up and organizational costs. Deferred
income taxes related to an asset or liability are classified as current or
noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability.
Prior to April 1, 1998, the Corporation, with the consent of its stockholders,
had elected S corporation status under Section 1372 of the Internal Revenue Code
and similar sections of the state income tax laws. On April 1, 1998, the Company
terminated its S election and is now subject to corporate income tax rates.
2. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise
additional funds to complete products in development. The Company is concluding
a private securities offering in which it has raised $635,602, net of offerings
costs of $78,624 to date. Additional funds will be raised through similar
private offerings, which in Management's opinion, will provide sufficient
capital resources to complete current product development and initial product
marketing.
3. PREPAID ASSETS AND FEES
Included in Prepaid Expenses is $50,000, which is on deposit with Analog
Devices, Inc., the Company's principal supplier of raw materials, for custom
engineering support in connection with product development. The Company also has
$15,000 on deposit with the same vendor for raw materials to be delivered in the
next year. Prepaid product marketing costs of $16,000 are expected to be
expensed in the next year. The Company also has $8,900 in deposits on equipment
and inventory and $7,800 in prepaid rent.
4. INVENTORY
Inventory consists principally of raw materials, chipsets, which are purchased
from Analog Devices, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
5. OTHER ASSETS
The Company has acquired a technology license at a cost of $50,000, from Analog
Devices, Inc., that is being amortized over a period of five years. The license
agreement permits the Company to use certain proprietary reference designs and
software in the development of video telephony products. The net carrying value
of the license at September 30, 1998 was $43,750.
In connection with a private securities offering, the Company has deferred costs
of $15,850 associated with certain filing requirements that are expected to be
completed in the near future. These charges will be netted against proceeds of
the offering when filings are completed.
6. CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL
In connection with the reorganization of the Company, the original stockholders
received 10,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for their shares of a
predecessor corporation. After the reorganization, the Company sold 200,000
shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, 75,000 shares at $2.00 per share, and
168,737 shares at $2.75 per share, in a private offering of securities. After
deducting costs of $78,624, the Company has realized proceeds of $635,602.
Additional costs of $15,850 have been deferred until completion of certain
filings.
7. CONVERTIBLE DEBT
A Canadian company has advanced the Company $50,000 (non interest bearing) under
an agreement to develop products. The agreement granted the Canadian corporation
an exclusive option to market these products for a specified term. In addition,
the debt is convertible to 250,000 shares of common stock upon achievement of
certain milestones. At that time, the Company would contribute 250,000 shares of
its stock and the Canadian Corporation would forgive the debt.
8. OPERATING LEASE
The Company leases office space in Culpeper, Virginia, under a two-year lease
agreement commencing July 7, 1998 and expiring July 6, 2000. Monthly rent is
$650. The rent for the leased premises is $15,600 for the term of the lease,
which the Company prepaid. The Company has made a security deposit of $650. Rent
expense was $1,950, for the period ended September 30, 1998.
9. RELATED PARTIES
A Director of the Company has been engaged to assist in the raising of capital.
He is compensated on the basis of a percentage (from 2 to 5 per cent) of the
completed transaction. During the period ended September 30, 1998, he was paid
$23, 435 under this contract. In addition, the same Director has been prepaid $
16,000 under a product marketing agreement. The two majority stockholders have
agreements to provide services. During the period ended September 30, 1998, they
earned $180,000 under these agreements, of which $65,000 remains unpaid at
September 30, 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has entered into several agreements and contracts in connection with
the raising of capital and product development.
Raising Capital
The Company has engaged several consultants to assist in the effort to raise
additional capital. Certain of these contracts require payment of fees
calculated as a percentage of completed transactions (see Notes 6 and 9). Other
contracts require compensation in the form of stock. No stock compensation has
been earned as of September 30, 1998.
Product Development
Under an agreement to develop certain products, the Company has deferred revenue
of $50,000 pending achievement of contract milestones. Successful completion of
contract milestones will result in additional payments of up to $50,000.
Several other product development arrangements are in negotiation.

marketable products are available for sale.
Income Taxes
The Corporation utilizes the liability method for accounting for income taxes.
The liability method accounts for deferred income taxes by applying enacted
statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to differences between
financial statement amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The
resulting deferred income tax liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax
laws and rates.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Income Taxes (continued)
Temporary differences consist of the difference in financial statement and
income tax bases for accounting for start up and organizational costs. Deferred
income taxes related to an asset or liability are classified as current or
noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability.
Prior to April 1, 1998, the Corporation, with the consent of its stockholders,
had elected S corporation status under Section 1372 of the Internal Revenue Code
and similar sections of the state income tax laws. On April 1, 1998, the Company
terminated its S election and is now subject to corporate income tax rates.
2. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise
additional funds to complete products in development. The Company is concluding
a private securities offering in which it has raised $635,602, net of offerings
costs of $78,624 to date. Additional funds will be raised through similar
private offerings, which in Management's opinion, will provide sufficient
capital resources to complete current product development and initial product
marketing.
3. PREPAID ASSETS AND FEES
Included in Prepaid Expenses is $50,000, which is on deposit with Analog
Devices, Inc., the Company's principal supplier of raw materials, for custom
engineering support in connection with product development. The Company also has
$15,000 on deposit with the same vendor for raw materials to be delivered in the
next year. Prepaid product marketing costs of $16,000 are expected to be
expensed in the next year. The Company also has $8,900 in deposits on equipment
and inventory and $7,800 in prepaid rent.
4. INVENTORY
Inventory consists principally of raw materials, chipsets, which are purchased
from Analog Devices, Inc.

5. OTHER ASSETS
The Company has acquired a technology license at a cost of $50,000, from Analog
Devices, Inc., that is being amortized over a period of five years. The license
agreement permits the Company to use certain proprietary reference designs and
software in the development of video telephony products. The net carrying value
of the license at December 31, 1998 was $43,750.
In connection with a private securities offering, the Company has deferred costs
of $15,850 associated with certain filing requirements that are expected to be
completed in the near future. These charges will be netted against proceeds of
the offering when filings are completed.
6. CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL
In connection with the reorganization of the Company, the original stockholders
received 10,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for their shares of a
predecessor corporation. After the reorganization, the Company sold 200,000
shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, 75,000 shares at $2.00 per share, and
168,737 shares at $2.75 per share, in a private offering of securities. After
deducting costs of $78,624, the Company has realized proceeds of $635,602.
Additional costs of $15,850 have been deferred until completion of certain
filings.
7. CONVERTIBLE DEBT
A Canadian company has advanced the Company $50,000 (non interest bearing) under
an agreement to develop products. The agreement granted the Canadian corporation
an exclusive option to market these products for a specified term. In addition,
the debt is convertible to 250,000 shares of common stock upon achievement of
certain milestones. At that time, the Company would contribute 250,000 shares of
its stock and the Canadian Corporation would forgive the debt.
8. OPERATING LEASE
The Company leases office space in Culpeper, Virginia, under a two-year lease
agreement commencing July 7, 1998 and expiring July 6, 2000. Monthly rent is
$650. The rent for the leased premises is $15,600 for the term of the lease,
which the Company prepaid. The Company has made a security deposit of $650. Rent
expense was $1,950, for the period ended December 31, 1998.

negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duty to the
Corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses
which such court deems proper.

director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation,
