Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
On July 7, 1998, Boatracs, Inc., a California corporation
(the "Company") acquired Enerdyne Technologies, Inc., a California
corporation ("ET, Inc"). The acquisition was effected by means of
a merger whereby ET, Inc. was merged with and into the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary, Boatracs Acquisition, Inc., a California
Corporation ("Boatracs Acquisition"). Boatracs Acquisition
has changed its name to Enerdyne Technologies Inc. ("Enerdyne")
and will continue ET, Inc's business of providing versatile, high
performance digital video compression products to the Government
and commercial markets.
Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan or Reorganization
dated as of July 7,1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and between the Company,
ET Inc., and the shareholders of ET Inc., the merger consideration paid to
the shareholders of ET Inc., which was agreed upon between the parties
in arm's length negotiations, consisted of an aggregate of (I) $1,953,800
in cash, (ii) $7,815,200 principal amount of senior promissory notes
payable on July 7, 1999 and bearing interest at 8.5% per annum
("Senior Notes"), (iii) $1,953,800 principal amount of
subordinated promissory notes ("Subordinated Notes") with specified
minimum annual payments and any remaining amounts payable June 30, 2002
and bearing interest of 8.5% per annum, (iv) 2,930,700 shares of Common Stock
of the Company and (v) warrants ("Warrants") expiring on June 30, 2002 to
purchase 488,450 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price
of $2.00 per share. Subject to terms and conditions stated therein, the
Senior Notes are secured by all of the assets of ET Inc. and two of the
Company's directors, officers and significant shareholders each severally
guaranteed one-third of the unpaid principal balance of the Senior Notes
as of July 7, 1999. The Company also agreed to satisfy the obligations
of ET Inc. regarding payments to its financial advisors through delivery of
$46,200 in cash, $184,800 of Senior Notes, $46,200 of Subordinated Notes,
69,300 shares of Common Stock and Warrants for the purchase of 11,550
shares of Common Stock.
The funds for the cash payment were generated by the sale of
a promissory note payable to the Company from the Company's president to an
outside party and from working capital.
Irene Shinsato, one of the shareholders of ET Inc., has been
engaged for a one year term as President of Enerdyne and Scott Boden, the
other shareholder of ET Inc., has been employed for a two year term as
Enerdyne's Chief Technical Officer. Pursuant to the terms of their
employment agreements, the Company granted each of them a nonstatutory
stock option, vesting on the expiration date of their
respective employment agreements, to purchase 500,000 shares
of the Company's Common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

ENERDYNE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1997 TO MARCH 31, 1998
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations - Enerdyne Technologies, Inc. (the
"Company") was incorporated in California in December 1984.
The Company develops and manufactures high performance
digital video compression products.
On July 7, 1998, the Company was acquired by Boatracs, Inc.
("Boatracs") for $22,580,000 to be paid in the form of cash,
notes payable and Boatracs' common stock and warrants for
common stock.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of
highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less.
Accounts Receivable - In the opinion of management,
substantially all accounts receivable are collectible.
Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered
necessary at March 31,1998 and June 30, 1997.
Inventories - Inventories are carried at the lower of
average cost or market.
Property - Property is stated at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are provided using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally six
to ten years.
Revenue Recognition - Sales of standard video compression
units which do not entail significant customer modification
are recognized upon shipment of products to customers.
Revenues related to contracts involving significant customer
modifications or the development of new technologies are
accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method,
primarily based upon specific contract deliverables.
Products are subject to a right of return for one year. An
allowance for estimated future returns is recorded at the
time of shipment based on historical returns. Actual return
experience has not been significant.
Income Taxes - The liability method is used in accounting
for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that
will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse.
Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company invests its
excess cash in certificates of deposit. The Company has not
experienced any losses on its certificates of deposit.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires that management make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
Significant Customers - Sales to two customers comprised
greater than 10% of the Company's total revenues for the
nine-month period ended March 31, 1998. Revenues earned
from these customers were $1,283,000 and $788,000,
respectively. Receivables from these customers totaled
$243,000 and $346,000, respectively, at March 31, 1998.
Sales to one customer comprised greater than 10% of the
Company's total revenues for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Revenue earned from this customer was $853,635. No amounts
were receivable from this customer at June 30, 1997.

Total 561,675 2,328

State 12,560 16,136
Total (1,085) 70,623
Provision for income taxes $560,590 $72,951
The provision for income taxes is different from that which

tax rate (35%) to income before provision for income taxes.
The items causing this difference are as follows:
Nine-Months Year
Ended Ended
March 31, 1998 June 30, 1997
Provision at statutory rate $512,527 $80,154
State income taxes, net of Federal benefit 77,056 15,330
Federal tax credits (21,883) (26,610)
Other (7,110) 4,077
Provision at effective rate $560,590 $72,951
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant
components of the Company's net deferred tax assets are as
follows:
March 31, 1998 June 30, 1997

outstanding shares of stock were acquired by Boatracs, Inc.
as of at July 7, 1998. (See Note 1).
6. PROFIT SHARING PLAN

employees. To be eligible to join the Plan, an employee
must be 21 years of age and must have completed one year of

discretionary contributions as determined by the Company's
Board of Directors. Contributions accrued and paid for the
nine-months ended March 31, 1998 and for the year ended

7. COMMITMENTS

lease. Rent expense for the nine-months ended March 31,
1998 and for the year ended June 30, 1997 was $45,864 and

statements of operations for the three months ended March 31,

effect as if the acquisition of Enerdyne Technologies, Inc.
(ET, Inc.) occurred as of January 1, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31,1998 gives effect to the acquisition as

on the historical financial statements of the
Company and of ET, Inc. and the acquisition of ET, Inc. using
the purchase method of accounting. Assumptions and adjustments are
discussed in the accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company,
all pro forma adjustments necessary to state fairly such pro forma financial
information have been made. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what actual results
of operations would have been for the period had the transaction occurred
