ITEM 1
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
General
One Voice Technologies, Inc.. is filing this Form 10-SB on a voluntary basis in
order to make One Voice Technologies, Inc.'s financial information equally
available to any interested parties or investors and meet certain listing
requirements for publicly traded securities on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board
which is sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). The
Company's stock is currently listed for trading on the OTC Electronic Bulletin
Board under the stock symbol "ONEV".
Business Development
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on February 4, 1987 as Belridge
Broadcasting of Portland, Inc. On August 23, 1995, the Company formed a new
corporation, Belridge Holdings Corporation for the purpose of a merger in order
to facilitate a change of domicile of Belridge Broadcasting of Portland, Inc. to
Nevada. After the merger on August 28, 1995, the surviving company, Belridge
Holdings Corporation, a Nevada Corporation, was dormant until March 9, 1998 when
it filed a Disclosure Statement pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 with the National
Association of Securities Dealers in order to allow trading of its securities on
the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. On July 30,1998 a special meeting of the
shareholders approved the acquisition of the assets, liabilities and operating
business of Dead On, LLC. in order to facilitate the Company's business plan to
manufacture sporting goods equipment and apparel. On September 15, 1998 a
special meeting of the shareholders approved the name change of Belridge
Holdings Corporation to Dead On, Inc. On December 31, 1998 a special meeting of
the Board approved the discontinuance of the operating business related to the
manufacture of sporting goods equipment and apparel after concluding that the
Company could not profitably operate that type of business. On May 14, 1999, the
Board signed an agreement to consummate the divestiture of the assets and
liabilities of the discontinued sporting goods equipment and apparel
manufacturing business. On June 16, 1999, a special meeting of the shareholders
approved the divestiture of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued
sporting goods equipment and apparel manufacturing business. On June 22, 1999, a
special meeting of the Board approved the merger of Dead On, Inc. with
Conversational Systems, Inc. in order to facilitate the Company's new business
plan to develop and market a software system that allows computer users to use
spoken words instead of keyboards to access and utilize the Internet. On July 9,
1999, a special meeting of the shareholders approved the merger of Dead On, Inc.
and Conversational Systems, Inc. and approved the name change of Dead On, Inc.
to ConversIt.com, Inc. On September 9, 1999, a special meeting of the
shareholders approved the name change of ConversIt.com, Inc. to One Voice
Technologies, Inc.
During September 1998 and May through July 14,1999 the Company raised capital
through the sale of common stock to investors in order to fund its business plan
obligations.
There have been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.

<PAGE> 3
There have been no other material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or
purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of
business.
Business of the Issuer
The Company's product is a software system that allows a computer user to
interact with a computer through speech rather than a keyboard or mouse. The
essence of this system is to allow the computer user to speak directly to the
computer in order to access the Internet. Utilizing colloquial or conversational
English, the computer user does not have to learn menu commands, does not need
to be familiar with operating systems, and is not dependent on typing speed.
The primary features of this system are:
a) utilizing commercially available speech recognition that relies on
how words sound in order to match those sounds to words in a dictionary
b) analyzing words to determine their meaning
c) allowing the computer to listen and then talk back to the user
d) processing speech at very high speed.
As the user speaks with the computer, it continues to "learn" the meaning of
what the user says. It asks questions of the user when it is unsure what the
user wants. It uses a conversational manner to quickly process information while
it keeps the user informed as it is performing requested tasks. As an example,
if the system is searching the Internet for the best price available for a
particular type of automobile purchase, it will describe its search process and
any problems it encounters, such as the unavailability of a needed web page due
to heavy Internet demand. It will then ask the user if it should try again. It
will offer suggestions, such as using a different time or searching in a
different geographical location.
On September 9, 1998, the Company's President, Dean Weber applied for a United
States Patent for his original design of the Company's software product. On
October 5, 1998, Mr. Weber applied for an additional patent that enhanced his
original patent by adding more detailed features, including network user
interface capabilities. On November 11, 1998, Mr. Weber applied to the United
States Department of Commerce Patent and Trademark Office to assign both of his
original patent filings to Conversational Systems, Inc., a closely held
corporation in which he was majority shareholder.
On July 9, 1999, at a special meeting of the shareholders of Dead On, Inc., the
shareholders of Dead On, Inc. and Mr. Weber, representing Conversational
Systems, Inc., agreed to merge Conversational Systems Inc., including its
pending United States Patents, with Dead On, Inc. and change the name of the
Company to ConversIt.com, Inc. On September 9, 1999, a special meeting of the
shareholders approved the name change of ConversIt.com, Inc. to One Voice
Technologies, Inc. As of the date of this filing, both patents are still
pending.

<PAGE> 4
Since the merger of July 9, 1999, the Company has taken the following steps in
its product development: raised capital of $3,000,000 through the sale of
securities; leased commercial office space in San Diego, California; hired one
office manager, one sales manager, one salesperson, one marketing manager; one
programmer, continued development of its software product. The Company's
software product is currently in a development stage. Management estimates it is
approximately forty five percent complete in the programming required to beta
test its product. The Company currently has no revenues. Its product is in a
demonstration stage and is capable of executing fundamental Internet searches as
it obeys approximately six hundred commands. The Company currently uses this
development stage product in sales demonstrations that emphasize the product
will not be ready for public use until after its projected twelve month
development and testing phase.
During the next twelve months the Company intends to complete the following
steps with accompanying budget estimates: during months one through six complete
software programming - $500,000; secure license for commercially available voice
recognition software and develop marketing strategy - $500,000; setup web site -
$15,000; during months seven through ten beta test software - $50,000; during
months seven through twelve make software programming corrections - $100,000;
during months three through twelve market the Company's product to computer
manufacturers and Internet Service Providers - $100,000; and produce the
Company's product for delivery beginning in the first quarter after month
twelve.
The Company has no agreements with any entities for the production, marketing,
or distribution of its development stage product. Management intends to market
its product through a business-to-business model of distribution of its product
through computer manufacturers such as Gateway, Dell, IBM, Sony, Toshiba, NEC,
etc. The Company intends to license its software directly to the Company's
anticipated major computer manufacturer distributors in order that they may
include the software with the sale of their hardware products to the general
public. In addition, software will be licensed to anticipated Internet Service
Providers such as AOL, Time Warner, EarthLink, Mindspring, etc. for the direct
Internet use of their subscribers. The Company will earn a license fee every
time the manufacturer or Internet Service Provider delivers the Company's
software to its customers. The Company will also seek service agreements to
provide in-depth voice interactive features to major companies that provide
Internet content through their own web sites. This will allow Internet customers
to use conversational speech to speak directly with a web site in order to
complete a variety of tasks such as ask questions and hear immediate answers
about items offered at an auction site, or ask for help about how to assemble a
product. Enhanced service agreements will be available for a monthly fee to
larger Internet web sites that will allow the licensed site programmers and
webmasters to change their site's conversational speech software to fit their
changing needs.
The Company anticipates charging the following fees: 1) computer manufacturers
and distributors - $100,000 to $500,000 one time fee depending on projected
volume plus $10.00 license fee for each software system bundled with hardware;
2) Internet Service Providers - $100,000 to $500,000 one time fee depending on
projected volume plus $10.00 license fee for software downloaded from their web
sites; 3) major companies with enhanced service agreements - $100,000 to
$500,000 one time fee depending upon projected volume plus $5,000 to $10,000
monthly license fee. In addition to these fees, the Company will offer annual
advertising rates of $100,000 to $500,000 to Internet sellers in order to
include direct verbal links to their sites as "preferred" web sites, e.g. if a
software user asks for an automobile dealer in his area the computer would
verbally respond first with the name of a "preferred" dealer's
4
<PAGE> 5
location and web site. Per the Company's business plan, Management will seek out
partnership and distribution agreements with manufacturers and Internet Service
Providers in months three through twelve. As of the date of this filing,
Management has no market or distribution agreements with the above manufacturers
or Internet Service Providers. The Company's ability to achieve its stated
pricing structure is dependent upon its estimate of market acceptance of its
product. The Company may not be able to achieve its target pricing structure.
The Company has no new product or service planned or announced to the public.
The size and financial strengths of the Company's competitors, such as
Conversational Computing Corporation and Grover Industries, are substantially
greater than those of the Company. However, management believes that the Company
can effectively compete with those other companies because of the unique nature
of its product. The Company's product uniqueness is primarily its ability to
direct computers to follow commands through the use of free format requests
using conversational speech. This unique feature, Management believes, will
allow the Company's product to compete effectively in the market. None of the
Company's competitors currently offer voice interaction with computers using
conversational speech. None of the Company's competitors have announced any
plans to offer software for voice interaction with computers using
conversational speech. Management is not aware of any significant barriers to
the Company's entry into the computer speech recognition market, however, the
Company at this time has no market share of the computer speech recognition
product category.
IBM Viavoice Runtime and Dragon Naturally Speaking Runtime are the two primary
suppliers of commercially available speech recognition software licensed for use
by advanced software application companies such as One Voice Technologies, Inc.
The Company integrates its advanced proprietary software systems with these
basic commercially available speech recognition software "platforms". On
September 21, 1999, the Company signed a twenty four month Original Equipment
Manufacturer Software Agreement with IBM in order for the Company to be a
licensee for the IBM Viavoice Runtime system. The license cost is $450,000 per
year. Blank recordable CD-ROM discs are readily available through computer
wholesalers or retail stores throughout the Unites States. The Company intends
to transfer its software to CD-ROM discs at its own facilities at a cost not to
exceed $2.00 per disc. Management anticipates transferring only one to two
hundred software copies to master CD-ROM discs for its direct licensing program.
The Company will not require formal contracts with any suppliers or
manufacturers of physical products.
The Company intends to sell its products through a variety of computer
manufacturers and Internet Service Providers and will not depend on any one or a
few major customers.
The Company owns exclusive rights to the pending United States Patents per the
merger agreement ratified at a special meeting of the shareholders of Dead On,
Inc., the shareholders of Dead On, Inc. and Mr. Weber, representing
Conversational Systems, Inc., on July 9, 1999, in which all parties agreed to
merge Conversational Systems Inc., including its pending United States Patents,
with Dead On, Inc. and change the name of Dead On , Inc. to ConversIt. Com, Inc.
On September 9, 1999 ConversIt.com, Inc. changed its name to One Voice
Technologies, Inc. As of the date of this filing, both patents are still
pending. The two pending United States Patents define the primary features and
unique procedures that comprise the Company's
5
<PAGE> 6
product as described in its business plan.
The Company does not need any governmental approval of its principal product.
The Company's business is not subject to material regulation by federal, state,
or local governmental agencies.
All research and development costs since inception have been immaterial in cost
and will not be passed on to customers.
The Company currently has six full time employees.
Investors in the Company should be particularly aware of the inherent risks
associated with the Company's plans and product. These risks include but are not
limited to:
a) A lack of independent market testing of the Company's product
increases the possibility that the Company's product may not perform to
reasonable commercial standards under normal use. This could result in
unexpected performance failures, a significant product return rate, and
a material reduction in product demand.
b) A lack of a proven market or market studies for the Company's product
means that while Management, software engineers, and software magazine
writers may believe the public will enthusiastically accept voice
recognition software, the true market for this product may be minor or
nonexistent. This could result in little or no product sales.
c) The limited experience of Management in developing a new product from
inception through a fully tested, market usable status for national and
world wide consumer use may result in critical business judgement errors
as the Company grows in size and sales volume. In a product rollout of
the magnitude of the Company's business plan, Management errors not
timely corrected could result in excessive costs and expenses, poor
quality products, inability to deliver products on time, detrimental
business contract terms, and other significant errors which could impede
the Company's business plan.
d) The Company is in the developing or starting stages of its business
plan and is therefore more vulnerable to unexpected or uncontrollable
business and economic forces. It lacks any loyalty and brand name
recognition from potential customers and business partners. Unknown
software errors may not be corrected in time to develop a sustainable
customer base. Unfavorable product reviews or news reports could squelch
early sales efforts. A competitor may quickly release a better version
of a similar product before the Company can complete its development
efforts. Economic conditions such as a national or world recession,
international trade restrictions on computer product sales, or a
slowdown in Internet usage growth could reduce Company revenues below
financially healthy levels.
e) There has been no independent review or certification of originality
of the Company's software, which could lead to patent or copyright
infringement litigation. This could result in a detrimental allocation
of the Company's Management time and financial resources which could
lessen the Company's ability to remain a viable business.
6
<PAGE> 7
f) The financial and personnel resources of the Company are considerably
less than its competitors. Therefore, the Company will be in a
competitive disadvantage as it seeks to develop its product, hire senior
programmers, and conduct marketing efforts. This could lead to a
material reduction in cash flows and increase the risk that the Company
would be unable to achieve its business plan goals.
Although Management intends to implement its business plan through the
foreseeable future and will do its best to mitigate the risks associated with
its business plan, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be
successful. Currently, Management is concentrating on advancing its business
plan. Management has no liquidation plans should the Company require additional
cash and be unable to receive funding. Should the Company be unable to implement
its business plan, Management would investigate all options available to retain
value for the shareholders. Among the options that would be considered are: the
sale of the rights to the patents, acquisition of another product or technology,
or a merger or acquisition (as a parent or target) of another business entity
that has revenue and/or long-term growth potential. There are no pending
arrangements, understandings or agreements with outside entities for
acquisitions or mergers. While the aforementioned risks are presented as worst
case scenarios, Management, employees and shareholders should be aware that
there are no guarantees the Company will achieve any of its business plan goals
or be successful. The risks of a development stage company include a lack of job
security for employees and the possible loss of all investment funds by
investors. Investors should evaluate all of these risks before considering an
investment in this Company.
The Company's bylaws do not require the Company to deliver an annual report to
its shareholders and the Company has no present plans to provide an annual
report to its shareholders. As stated at the beginning of this filing on page 2,
the Company is voluntarily filing this Form 10-SB in order to make its financial
information equally available to any interested parties or investors. The
Company will be subject to the disclosure rules of Regulation S-B for a small
business issuer under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Based upon its original Form 10-SB filing acceptance date of October
7,1999, the Company anticipates it will become subject to disclosure filing
requirements effective on December 6, 1999, and, after that date, will be
required to file Form 10-KSB annually and Form 10-QSB quarterly. In addition,
the Company will be required to file Form 8 and other proxy and information
statements from time to time as required.
The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, ("SEC"), at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450
Fifth Street, N. W., Washington D. C. 20549. The public may obtain information
on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that
contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information
regarding issuers that file electronically with SEC.
Year 2000 Disclosure
Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruption of normal business activities.
The Company's Management has hands-on familiarity with all of the software that
will be utilized in its business plan and has confirmation from third party
suppliers that its proposed software is
7
<PAGE> 8
certified Year 2000 compatible for all of its computing requirements. In
addition, proposed suppliers of office equipment for the Company's business plan
have confirmed that embedded technology systems such as micro processors in
telephone systems and other non-computer devices that have been or will be
purchased per the Company's business plan are already Year 2000 compatible.
While the Company has made what it believes to be adequate inquiries of its
software suppliers as to Year 2000 compliance, there can be no guarantee that
the software suppliers will be adequately prepared for every possible contingent
Year 2000 software problem, which could have minor or material adverse effects
on the Company's results of operations. In a most likely worst case scenario of
moderate software problems, the Company may experience minor adverse cash flow
effects based upon a moderate length of time needed to correct software
problems. Due to Management's knowledge and experience with software, the
Company's contingency plan in a most likely worst case scenario would be to
modify and correct its own software and rely upon other software suppliers such
as Microsoft and IBM to provide software corrections via Internet and telephone
support systems.
The Company has purchased new off-the-shelf Year 2000 compatible software in
order to run its operations, has tested all of its software for Year 2000
compatibility and anticipates no material impact on its operating systems. The
total cost of this new software was $1,000.
ITEM 2
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company maintains a cash balance sufficient to sustain corporate operations
until December 31, 2001. The losses through August 1999 were due to software
development costs and operational expenses. Sales of the Company's equity
securities have allowed the Company to maintain a positive cash flow balance.
During the next twelve months, Management's business plan is for the Company to
take the following steps to market its product: during months one through six
complete software programming - $500,000, secure license for commercially
available voice recognition software and develop marketing strategy - $500,000,
setup web site - $15,000; during months seven through ten beta test software -
$50,000; during months seven through twelve make software programming
corrections - $100,000; during months three through twelve market the Company's
product to computer manufacturers and Internet Service Providers - $100,000; and
produce the Company's product for delivery beginning in the first quarter after
month twelve.
Cash flow from sales is estimated to begin after the end of the next twelve
months. The Company may face considerable risk in completing each of its
business plan steps, such as cost overruns in each step, a lack of interest in
the Company's product in the market on the part of its anticipated computer
manufacturer partners and Internet Service Provider partners, and/or consumers,
and a shortfall of funding due to the Company's inability to raise capital in
the equity securities market. If further funding is required, and no funding is
received during the next twelve months, the Company would be forced to rely on
its existing cash in the bank or short term bridge loans. While Management
believes its current cash balance to be sufficient for the completion of its
product and marketing prior to receiving cash flow from sales per its business
plan, the Company may be unable to complete its product development until such
time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity market. In such a
restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would delay all cash intensive
activities.
8
<PAGE> 9
While the Company plans to spend an additional $500,000 to finish programming of
its existing software product, the Company has no plans at this time to incur
new product research and development costs. There are no current plans to
purchase or sell any significant amount of fixed assets. The Company's business
plan provides for an increase of four employees during the next twelve months.
ITEM 3
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's principal executive office address is 6333 Greenwich Drive, Suite
240, San Diego, California 92122. The Company has a lease for 3,350 square feet
of office space for a period of three years and eight and one half months
commencing on July 15, 1999 at a cost of $27,720 in year one, $70,806 in year
two, $75,291 in year three, $77,301 in year four, and $19,598 for the period
ending March 31, 2003. Management considers the Company's current principal
office space arrangement adequate for current and short-term estimated growth.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During the years 1997 and 1998 and the interim period ended August 31, 1999 a
director of the Company provided the Company with the use of a telephone number
and a business mailing address. The costs associated with the use of the
telephone and mailing address were deemed by management to be immaterial as the
telephone and mailing address were almost exclusively used by the director for
other business and personal purposes.
The Company's chief executive officer, Mr. Weber, has advanced $4,500 to the
Company for the purchase of a computer. The Company's chief financial officer,
Mr. Sharan, has advanced $10,000 to the Company for travel expenses. Both of
these cash advances are recorded on the Company's financial statements as
current liabilities with no written or verbal agreement regarding loan terms of
repayment or stated interest rate.
In May 1999, a group of officers, directors and shareholders of the Company
("the group") formed a new company, Dead On Acquisition Company, a California
Corporation. Subsequent to the formation of Dead On Acquisition Company, the
group transferred 6,075,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Dead On
Acquisition Company in exchange for shares of Dead On Acquisition Company stock.
On July 14, 1999, 150,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock were
issued for services rendered in connection with the July 1999 private placement.
On May 14, 1999, the Company sold all of its operating assets and liabilities
relating to its discontinued operations apparel, accessory, and sports equipment
division to Dead On Acquisition Company for $1.00 per an agreement for
acquisition resulting in a gain of $91,785 and a provision for operating losses
of $110,788, equaling a net financial statement loss of $19,003.
ITEM 8

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EIGHT MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999
(1) ORGANIZATION:
Conversational Systems, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of
the State of California on April 8, 1991. The Company commenced
operations in 1999.
Effective June 22, 1999, pursuant to a Merger Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization between Dead On, Inc. ("acquiree") and
Conversational Systems, Inc. a California corporation ("acquiror"
or the "Company"), Dead On, Inc. has been reversed merged into
Conversational Systems, Inc. The Company accounted for the
acquisition of Dead On, Inc. using the purchase method of
accounting. The shares of Conversational Systems were exchanged
for 7,000,000 newly issued shares of Dead On, Inc. Because the
former shareholders of Conversational Systems, Inc. then became
the majority shareholders of Dead On, Inc., Conversational
Systems was treated as the acquiror under APB Opinion No. 16,
"Business Combinations."
Conversational Systems, Inc. was liquidated with and into Dead
On, Inc., which then changed its legal name to One Voice
Technologies, Inc.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
BUSINESS ACTIVITY:
The Company develops and markets computer software using
Intelligent Voice Interactive Technology (IVIT(TM)) to website
owners in the United States and other countries.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
FAIR VALUE:
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of
accounts payable and notes payable to an individual and related
parties as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments."
The carrying value of the financial instruments approximate their
fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
See accompanying independent auditors' report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
EIGHT MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
CASH:
Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents
include all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less which are not securing any
corporate obligations.
Concentration
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenues when earned in the period in
which the service is provided. Service fees are deferred and
recognized over the life of the service agreement. Initial
distribution fees are recognized when the software is delivered.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are valued at cost. Depreciation is being
provided by use of the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No.
121"). SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to
be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the
fair values of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported
at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell. Adoption of this statement did not materially impact the
Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss only.
See accompanying independent auditors' report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
EIGHT MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
PATENTS:
The Company's patent costs consist of legal fees paid in
connection with a patent pending. The Company amortizes patents
using the straight-line method over the period of estimated
benefit, generally five years. There was no amortization expense
charged for the eight months ended August 31, 1999 as the patent
is pending.
The Company periodically evaluates whether events or
circumstances have occurred that may affect the estimated useful
life or the recoverability of the remaining balance of the
patent. Impairment of the patent is triggered when the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount
of the intangible asset. If the events or circumstances indicate
that the remaining balance of the patent may be permanently
impaired, such potential impairment will be measured based upon
the difference between the carrying amount of the patent and the
fair value of such assets, determined using the estimated future
discounted cash flows generated.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 128. Earnings per Shares ("SFAS No. 128"), which is
effective for annual and interim financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 was issued
to simplify the standards for calculating earnings per share
("EPS") previously in APB No. 15, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No.
128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation
of basic EPS. The new rules also require dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations.
For the eight months ended August 31, 1999, the per share data is
based on the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding, and are calculated in accordance

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced
by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS EFFECTIVE SUBSEQUENT TO 1998
In April 1998, Statement of Position 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs
of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") was issued. SOP 98-5
provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs
and organization costs. The SOP is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.
The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this
statement will have a material effect on its financial
statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", the effective
date for which was deferred by SFAS No. 137 until fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company anticipates that due
to its limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of
SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on its financial
statements.
(3) CASH RESTRICTED:
In connection with an Escrow Agreement dated July 14, 1999, former
officers of Dead On, Inc. have placed $100,000 in an escrow account. The
funds are to be used for prior obligations of Dead On, Inc. relating to
its apparel, accessory and sports equipment division which was
discontinued in December 1998 (Note 8). The funds are restricted through
January 2000.

of the Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Act, as transactions by an
issuer not involving any public offering. The securities issued pursuant
to the Private Placement were restricted securities as defined in Rule
144. The offering generated proceeds, net of offering costs, of
approximately $2,845,000. An additional 150,000 shares of the Company's
common stock was issued for services rendered in connection with this
private placement.
On June 22, 1999, in connection with a Merger Agreement and Plan of

(11) INCENTIVE AND NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN:
On July 14, 1999, the Company enacted an Incentive and Nonqualified Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") for its employees and consultants under which a
maximum of 500,000 options may be granted to purchase common stock of the
Company. Two types of options may be granted under the Plan: (1) Incentive
Stock Options (also know as Qualified Stock Options) which may only be
issued to employees of the Company and whereby the exercise price of the
option is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the
date it was reserved for issuance under the Plan; and (2) Nonstatutory
Stock Options which may be issued to either employees or consultants of
the Company and whereby the exercise price of the option is greater than
85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date it was
reserved for issuance under the plan. Grants of options may be made to
employees and consultants without regard to any performance measures. All
options issued pursuant to the Plan vest at the rate of 20% per year over
a five-year period from the date of the grant. All options issued pursuant
to the Plan are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture. As of August
31, 1999, the Company had not issued any options pursuant to the Plan.
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option
valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock
options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on
the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

(12) CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising from the
discontinued operations of the Company's apparel division. Although the
ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not determinable,
management, based on advice of legal counsel, does not believe that
adverse determinations in any or all of such proceedings will have a
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
(13) BUSINESS COMBINATION:
Effective June 22, 1999, pursuant to a Merger Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization between Dead On, Inc. ("acquiree") and Conversational
Systems, Inc. a California corporation ("acquiror"), Dead On, Inc. has
been reversed merged into Conversational Systems, Inc. The Company
accounted for the acquisition of Dead On, Inc. using the purchase method
of accounting. The shares of Conversational Systems were exchanged for
7,000,000 newly issued shares of Dead On, Inc. Because the shareholders
of Conversational Systems, Inc. then became the majority shareholders of
Dead On, Inc., Conversational Systems was treated as the acquiror under
APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations."
Conversational Systems, Inc. was liquidated with and into Dead On, Inc.
Dead On, Inc. then changed its legal name to One Voice Technologies,
Inc.
The following proforma results of activities assume that the acquisition
of Conversational Systems, Inc. occurred as of the beginning of 1999.
The proforma financial information is presented for informational
purposes only and may not necessarily be indicative of the operating
results that would have occurred had these acquisitions been consummated
as of the beginning of each period presented, nor is it necessarily

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dead On, Inc., a Nevada
Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Dead On, Inc. as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
(1) ORGANIZATION:
Dead On, Inc. (formerly known as Belridge Holdings Corp. and
Belridge Broadcasting of Portland, Inc.) was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware on February 4, 1987.
During August 1995, the Company formed Belridge Holdings Corp.
under the laws of the State of Nevada. Belridge Broadcasting of
Portland merged into Belridge Holdings Corp. thereby changing the
domicile from Delaware to Nevada. The Delaware corporation was
discontinued.
During September 1998, Belridge Holdings Corp. entered into a
Plan of Exchange with Dead On, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company whereby 10,000,000 shares of its common stock were issued
in exchange for all of the membership interest of Dead On, LLC.
Dead On, LLC was liquidated and the assets and liabilities of
Dead On, LLC were transferred to Belridge Holdings Corp.
Subsequent to the exchange, Belridge Holdings Corp. changed its
name to Dead On, Inc., a Nevada corporation (Note 4).
During May 1999, in connection with an Agreement for Acquisition
of Assets of Dead On, Inc., the Company sold substantially all of
its assets and liabilities relating to its apparel, accessory and
sports equipment division (Note 5).
Effective June 22, 1999, pursuant to a Merger Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization between Dead On, Inc. ("acquiree") and
Conversational Systems, Inc. a California corporation
("acquiror"), Dead On, Inc. has been reversed merged into
Conversational Systems, Inc. The shares of Conversational Systems
were exchanged for 7,000,000 newly issued shares of Dead On, Inc.
Conversational Systems, Inc. was liquidated with and into Dead
On, Inc., which then changed its legal name to One Voice
Technologies, Inc.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
FAIR VALUE:
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of
officer advances as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments." The carrying value of the financial instruments
approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of
these instruments.
See accompanying independent auditors' report.

DEAD ON, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
CASH:
Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents
include all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less which are not securing any
corporate obligations.
Concentration
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss only.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 128. Earnings per Shares ("SFAS No. 128"), which is
effective for annual and interim financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 was issued
to simplify the standards for calculating earnings per share
("EPS") previously in APB No. 15, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No.
128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation
of basic EPS. The new rules also require dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations.
INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced
by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS EFFECTIVE SUBSEQUENT TO 1998
In April 1998, Statement of Position 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs
of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") was issued. SOP 98-5
provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs
and organization costs. The SOP is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.
The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this
statement will have a material effect on its financial
statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company
anticipates that due to its limited use of derivative
instruments, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a
material effect on its financial statements.
(3) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION:
During 1998 and 1997, a director of the Company provided office
facilities to the Company. The costs related to the transaction are
immaterial to the financial statements.
(4) COMMON STOCK:
In February 1987, the Company issued 1,000 shares of its common stock
for $1,000. In August 1995, the Company effected a 2,500 for one stock
split for shareholders of record on August 23, 1995.
In September 1998, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common
stock in exchange for all of the membership interest of Dead On, LLC
(Note 1).
In September 1998, the Company commenced a private placement of 220,000
shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share
collectively referred to as the "Private Placement". The Private
Placement was exempt from the registration provisions of the Act by
virtue of Section 4(2) of the Act, as transactions by an issuer not
involving any public offering. The securities issued pursuant to the
Private Placement were restricted securities as defined in Rule 144. The
offerings generated proceeds, net of offering costs of approximately
$55,000.

Company sold substantially all of its assets and liabilities under an
Agreement for Acquisition of Assets of Dead On, Inc. (Note 9) resulting
in a gain of $91,785 including a provision for operating losses during
the phase-out period of $110,788, which consists primarily of revenues
from sales of the Company's apparel, accessory and sports equipment line
less advertising, trade show, commissions, payroll and payroll tax costs
associated therewith. The loss from operations totaled $299,161 from
revenues of $307,755 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company's
results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations
and prior periods have been restated.

Dead On Acquisition Company for $1.00, the Management's estimate of the
fair value of assets and liabilities of Dead On (Note 5).
(7) INCOME TAXES:
For federal income tax return purposes, the Company has available net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $323,000, which expire
