PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Sale of Assets to Vertex
On August 31, 1994, Computer Transceiver Systems, Inc. ("CTSI" or the
"Company") completed the sale of all of its assets to its corporate parent,
Vertex Industries, Inc. ("Vertex"), which assumed all of CTSI's liabilities.
The purchase price for the assets was $1,699,580. The Company's net
indebtedness to Vertex of $1,257,001 was offset against the purchase price,
leaving a balance of $442,579. This balance was paid by the issuance to CTSI
of 236,042 shares of Vertex common stock. CTSI subsequently distributed
233,170 shares of Vertex Common stock in an exchange offer for 746,161 shares
of CTSI's Common Stock.
The Vertex shares reflected in the balance sheet as marketable securities as of
July 31, 1997 represents 2,872 shares which were not distributed to the CTSI
shareholders. The Exchange Offer, resulted in the exchange of 746,161 CTSI
shares for Vertex shares, and a reduction in CTSI's outstanding shares from
3,462,764 to 2,716,603.
General
Prior to the sale of its assets to Vertex, CTSI supplied and supported an
intelligent bar code printing system, the Execuport 2400, intended for various
applications within the automatic identification market. CTSI previously
developed, produced and marketed a number of versions of the Execuport 2400,
sales of which have been made primarily to medical and healthcare customers in
recent years. Vertex, has recently been manufacturing the Execuport 2400 for
CTSI and will continue to produce and support it.
Servicing
The Execuport 2400 has been serviced at the Company's facilities in Clifton,
New Jersey. Product warranties and servicing are now offered by Vertex.
Trademarks and Patents
The "Execuport" name is a registered trademark. CTSI has not enjoyed
patent protection on the Execuport 2400 but regards various aspects of the
2400's design and software as proprietary. All of CTSI's intellectual property
rights in connection with the Execuport 2400 have been transferred to Vertex as
part of the sale of the Company.
Personnel
As a result of the conclusion of its sale of assets to Vertex on August 31,
1994, CTSI no longer has any salaried employees or consultants.
Operations of CTSI After Sale of Assets.
Vertex and CTSI intend to seek out an acquisition and/or merger transaction
between CTSI and an operating company, which, if completed, would enable CTSI
shareholders to participate in another enterprise.
2
<PAGE>
Since CTSI itself has no operations or significant assets, its future potential
will derive solely from any future business operations it may undertake as the
result of any such subsequent acquisition or merger. CTSI has not yet received
an acceptable offer of a business combination with any other entity, and cannot
predict whether or when it will receive such offer or, if any offer is
received, whether such offer will be on reasonable terms. Furthermore, a
proposal for a business combination with an operating entity may require, prior
to acceptance and consummation, certain regulatory filings, with attendant
delays and uncertainty. Accordingly, CTSI shareholders have an interest in an
inactive company, with no assurance that their CTSI shares will have any value
in the future.
Vertex is responsible for the costs of any continuing CTSI operations, expected
to be minimal, such as the costs of complying with any regulatory and tax
requirements and any expenses associated with pursuing possible merger or
acquisition candidates.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
CTSI's facilities are located at 23 Carol Street, Clifton, New Jersey.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTER TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
None
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
(a) Price quotations for the Company's common stock have not been carried in
the NASDAQ system since 1986. In April 1997 the Company's common stock resumed
trading on the bulletin board under the symbol CPPT.
(b) The approximate number of record holders of CTSI common stock as of
October 20, 1997 was 648.
(c) No dividends have been paid on the Company's common stock. In view of
the sale of CTSI's assets to its corporate parent, and of the uncertainty of a
future business combination between CTSI and any other entity (see "Operations
of CTSI After Sale of Assets" above), it would appear virtually impossible for
any cash dividends to be paid by CTSI in the foreseeable future.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Sale of Company Assets to Vertex and Future Plans:
On August 31, 1994, pursuant to an "Asset Purchase Agreement" dated May
1, 1993 between the Company and Vertex Industries, Inc. ("Vertex"), the
Company's majority stockholder, and with the approval of the Company's direc-
tors and shareholders, the Company sold all of its assets to Vertex and Vertex
assumed the Company's liabilities. The assets sold included inventory, equip-
ment, receivables, proprietary technology, goodwill and other intangibles. The
selling price of $1,699,580 was paid by Vertex through the offset and cancel-
lation of the Company's indebtedness to Vertex in the amount of $1,257,001,
with the balance of $442,579 being paid through the issuance of 236,042 shares
of Vertex common stock to the Company. CTSI subsequently distributed 233,170
shares of Vertex common stock in an exchange offer for 746,161 shares of CTSI's
common stock. The Vertex shares reflected in the balance sheet as marketable
securities as of July 31, 1996 and 1995 represent the remaining shares of 2,872
which were not distributed to the CTSI shareholders. After completion of the
Exchange Offer, the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company was
reduced from 3,462,764 to 2,716,603. As a result of the transaction, Vertex's
ownership of the Company is approximately 72.5%.
As a result of the sale of the Company's assets on August 31, 1994,
there were only 31 days of operations for the Company for the year ended July
31, 1995, in which the Company sustained an operating loss of $88,881. However,
the sale resulted in a net gain to the Company on the disposition of its
assets, which amounted to $707,274, after provision for such loss and taxes.
The Company's current business purpose is to seek out and obtain an
acquisition, and/or merger transaction, whereby its shareholders may benefit by
owning an interest in a viable enterprise. Since the Company has no operations
or significant assets as a result of the sale, its potential for profits will
come solely from operations it may undertake after any acquisition or merger
transaction. The Company has not received from, or made any specific proposals
to, any possible merger or acquisition candidate and there is no guarantee
that such transaction will occur. Vertex will be responsible for, and shall
be the source of, any funds necessary for the Company to continue operating and
to comply with any regulatory requirements, taxes, and fees. It will fund any
costs associated with pursuing merger or acquisition candidates.
On August 29, 1994, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment
to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the aggregate number
of shares the Company has authority to issue from 5,000,000 shares to
15,000,000 shares and changed the par value from $.01 to $.001.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
A. Marketable Securities - The Company adopted Statement of Finan-
cial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS No. 115"), "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The adoption of SFAS No. 115
resulted in a decrease in stockholders' equity of $2,348.
F-8
<PAGE>
At July 31, 1997 marketable equity securities have been categorized as
available for sale and as a result are stated at fair value. Marketable equity
securities available for current operations are classified in the balance sheet
as current assets. Unrealized holding gains
and losses are included as a component of stockholders' equity until realized.
B. Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock - Earnings per share
of common stock is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year. In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" which makes certain changes to the manner in which earnings per
share is reported. The Company is required to adopt this standard for
the year ending July 31, 1998. The adoption of this standard will
require restatement of prior years' earnings per share.
Note 3 - Income Taxes :
The Company has no operations therefore has no income tax liability other than
minimum taxes due for State purposes.
