PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
G E N E R A L
Perceptronics, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware Corporation incorporated
September 9, 1987. Currently the Company is in transition. The Company has
currently focused entirely on building a new position in commercial products and
services for Internet Collaborative Interactivity from its previous dual focus
on networking technology and defense simulation products and services. We call
our new Internet product line the IC3D-TM- Framework.
Our new strategic course is based on our firm belief that the market for
Internet Collaborative Interactivity is in the early process of rapid and
large-scale growth, that we have a strong competitive advantage in that market,
and that it is to the benefit of the Company and its shareholders to focus
wholly on this opportunity. As part of that strategy, we have moved to divest
ourselves of our Precision Gunnery Training System ("PGTS") and defense
simulation operation by selling that portion of our business to Eidetics Corp.,
a developer and manufacturer of defense simulation products.
As a background to the PGTS divestiture, we have experienced a decline in
revenues and a lack of valuation in the financial markets over the past years
with respect to our defense-related business. Defense simulator revenues have
historically represented a significant portion of our revenues, but the
tightening of defense budgets worldwide, combined with the continuing
consolidation and intense competition in the defense industry, have negatively
impacted the growth and profit opportunities for small companies such as
Perceptronics.
Fortunately, during this period the Company was in the process of starting its
new venture in the area of Internet enabling technology. The Internet market, in
contrast to the defense simulation market, was and has been undergoing a
significant expansion in size and opportunity. The Internet venture involves
meeting the increasing need for multi-user, online collaborative interaction on
the Internet by adapting and commercializing the simulator networking concepts,
architecture and protocols we helped develop for the U.S. Department of Defense.
Initial funding for Internet product development and commercialization came from
a combination of Department of Defense Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)
contracts, State of California grants, private equity investment and internal
resources.
Our proprietary product, which we call the IC3D-TM- Framework, was initially
focused on allowing multiple users to collaborate in 3D virtual environments
over the Internet. Proof of concept was completed in November 1999. We have
subsequently demonstrated that the IC3D Framework technology will permit
collaborative interaction with a variety of Internet animation and streaming
media players, including such widespread commercial products as Macromedia's
Flash and Shockwave, Microsoft's Windows Media Player,
1
<PAGE>
and Realnetworks' Real Audio and Real Video. This is potentially very
significant financially, because we believe that in the near term Internet
applications based on these and similar products will greatly outnumber
applications based on 3D visualization. We have initiated marketing and
technical strategic alliances to help develop and promote the technology in its
key application areas, identified as entertainment, e-commerce, education and
business communication. We see an immediate market for IC3D products and
services, and believe we can achieve a steady increase in market size as the
Internet reaches the 300 million-user mark and beyond in the next few years.
Response to the IC3D Framework venture, from its earliest stages, has been
highly encouraging both in the commercial arena and in the financial community.
Fluctuations notwithstanding, our post-IC3D average stock price has remained
higher than when Perceptronics was perceived as essentially a small defense
simulation company. We believe this increase in valuation reflects the greater
potential of the Internet market for our growth in revenues and profit. It has
occurred even though we are not yet deriving revenues from the IC3D product, are
not profitable and will be dependent on continued equity investment for the
foreseeable future.
The Board of Directors and management believe that our new business strategy is
in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board of
Directors, in unanimously approving the Eidetics Transaction, considered a
number of factors, including: (a) our IC3D Technology opportunity offers greater
potential for growth and profits, despite the risks of being wholly dependent on
the new Internet related business; (b) the PGTS marketing efforts, contracting
and financing conditions, manufacturing infrastructure and future development
requirements are not compatible with the IC3D strategic direction, and involve a
completely separate set of resources, including intellectual property,
facilities, and personnel; (c) recent activity in the PGTS business segment has
been sporadic, with considerable and costly gaps between contracts, which cause
a further drain on critical cash resources; (d) divestiture of the
defense-related PGTS Business and complete future focus on the Internet-related
IC3D could result in a higher overall valuation for the Company, despite the
near term reduction in revenues; (e) the total purchase price is fair and
improves our balance sheet, which will potentially help in achieving required
future financing; and (f) we may continue to benefit from the PGTS Business
through future royalty fees on contracts, which could potentially provide
important revenues and cash resources.
The Company's new long-term growth strategy thus focuses entirely on further
developing and more extensively marketing the IC3D Framework commercial products
and services. The Company's near-term business strategy is to initiate marketing
activities via direct sales and strategic alliances. The Company's ability to
complete these strategies in full will depend on generating sufficient cash
resources from operations and on obtaining additional funding from private and
public investments for further development and marketing of the IC3D Framework,
neither of which can be assured.

<PAGE>
The Company's business activities during past fiscal years fall into three main
areas: Training and Instrumentation Systems, Simulation Networking R&D, and
Commercial Software Products.
1. TRAINING AND INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS. This area includes sales to the U.S.
Government and international customers of the Company's standard training
devices and systems, customized systems and/or components, and supporting
services.
During fiscal year 1997, the Company completed a subcontract from FAAC, Inc.,
for production of TT150 truck driver simulators to be used by the U.S.
Department of Energy. Also in fiscal year 1998 and 1997, the Company had sales
of $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively on a subcontract for TOW PGTS
simulator systems for a foreign customer. The Company also started production in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, on a contract with the Government of Egypt
valued at $3.0 million for TOW PGTS simulator systems. The contract with the
Government of Egypt was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. During
fiscal year 2000, the Company did not have any sales of training and
instrumentation systems.
Also included in this area are sales of specialized systems and software in such
areas as process modeling, instrumentation and neural network software, and
other advanced applications of the Company's technology in artificial
intelligence (AI), computer-based modeling and simulation and electronics. In
fiscal year 1998 and 1997, the Company worked on a contract with a commercial
company for microelectronics data recording system for medication dosage. In
fiscal 1998, the Company was awarded a SBIR Phase I contract from DARPA for
design of COVER (Commander's Observation Vehicle for Elevated Reconnaissance), a
system concept Perceptronics has promoted for a number of years, which is well
suited to the future Army's need for improved sensing capabilities at the small
unit level. The SBIR Phase I contract was completed during fiscal 1999.
Training and Instrumentation Systems accounted for 1% of revenues in fiscal
2000, 67% in fiscal 1999 and 76% in fiscal 1998.
2. SIMULATION NETWORKING R&D. This area includes sale to the U.S. Government
and other customers of research and development services on networked simulation
and related technologies. During fiscal 1997, work was performed on a
subcontract to a U.S. Government prime contractor for application software in
the extension of DIS to the High Level Architecture (HLA). In fiscal 1998, work
was performed on SBIR Phase I and Interim Phase contracts from STRICOM for
adaptation of HLA to commercial multi-player, online 3D games; this work was the
predecessor for the SBIR Phase II IC3D Framework contract described above. In
June 1998, the Company was awarded and began work on the SBIR Phase II contract.
In July 1998, the Company was awarded a contract under the California Technology
Investment Partnership Program. These contracts provided funding for the
development and commercialization of network software products for online,
multi-player games involving complex 3D environments. In fiscal year 2000, 1999
and 1998 Networked Simulation R&D represented 99%, 33% and 24% of revenues,
respectively.
3
<PAGE>
3. COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE PRODUCTS. This area includes the sale and support of
the Company's commercial software packages and associated services, such as
the new IC3D Framework and the existing CACE/PM-Registered Trademark-
software for modeling and analyzing product development and manufacturing
processes and PERCNET-Registered Trademark- software for modeling and
simulating man-machine interfaces. In fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, Software
Products represented 0%, 0% and 1% of revenues, respectively.
U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
Approximately 88% and 31% of the Company's revenue in fiscal years 2000 and 1999
respectively, were derived from contracts and subcontracts involving the U.S.
Government. As is the case with many companies deriving a portion of their
revenue from defense contracts, the Company is subject to various business
risks, including changes in governmental appropriations and changes in national
defense policies and priorities. Over the past several years, economic and
budgetary constraints have caused reductions in overall defense spending. These
circumstances have had a material adverse effect on the Company since many of
the Company's U.S. Government contracts have been curtailed or reduced, and new
programs have not been initiated. See "Backlog" in "Item 6 Management's
Discussion".
The Company's U.S. Government contracts are structured on either a
cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) or a firm-fixed-price (FFP) basis. Under CPFF
contracts, the Company is reimbursed periodically for allowable costs together
with a portion of the fee with certain amounts being withheld pending the
Government's determination of final fiscal year indirect rates. Under FFP
contracts, the Company generally receives progress payments of allowable costs
incurred; the remainder (including profits) is billed upon delivery and final
acceptance of the product. For work performed under FFP contracts, the Company
carries a greater burden of risk associated with cost overruns. (See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" section). In fiscal years 2000 and 1999 respectively, 100% and 90%
of the Company's U.S. Government contract related revenues were attributable to
CPFF contracts and 0% and 10% of such revenues were attributable to FFP
contracts.
The Company's U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts are subject to
termination, reduction or modification in the event of changes in the
Government's requirements or budgetary constraints. Should a contract be
terminated for such reasons, the Company would be reimbursed for its allowable
costs to the date of termination and would be paid a proportionate amount of the
stipulated profits or fees attributable to the work actually performed. During
fiscal year 2000, none of the Company's U. S. Government contracts were
terminated. When the Company participates as a subcontractor, it is also subject
to the risk that the prime contractor may fail or be unable to perform the prime
contract. During fiscal year 2000, all of the Company's contracts were as a
prime contractor to the U.S. Government.

<PAGE>
The books and records of the Company are subject to audit by the Defense
Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). At March 31, 2000, the DCAA had an open audit of a
large multi-year contract that was completed in 1994. The Company believes that
the costs charged to this contract were proper and should not result in a
significant adjustment. The Company's overhead costs have been audited and
approved by the DCAA through fiscal year 1998. The Company believes that it is
in substantial compliance with Government record-keeping and cost-allocation
requirements, and does not expect any significant adjustments as a result of the
future audit of 1999 overhead costs.
MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS
In April 1999 the Company entered into an IC3D marketing agreement with November
Lazar Scher, Inc. (NLS) a Hollywood based promotion and licensing firm. Under
the agreement, NLS will market the Company's IC3D Framework products and
services for Internet Collaborative 3D to the entertainment industry, including
online gaming and related e-commerce applications. The objectives include
developing immediate revenue generating opportunities for the current IC3D
Technology in Hollywood and other entertainment markets and also establishing
contacts and alliances with major entertainment and Internet companies. In
February 2000, the Company also entered into an agreement with another marketing
consultant who also focuses primarily on the entertainment market. The company
has a number of strategic alliances with firms in the Internet area that add to
its marketing reach (see below).
In recent years the Company has primarily marketed its simulation software
products and services to the U.S. Department of Defense and other U.S.
government agencies. The Company submits unsolicited research and system
development proposals in areas where it has original ideas and unique
capabilities, and also responds to competitive development and production
proposal requests in areas of Company capability.
The Company has marketing arrangements for its defense and commercial products
in a number of foreign countries. During fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 foreign sales of defense training systems were approximately 0% and 65% of
total Company revenues, respectively. Foreign sales are subject to risks
associated with political or economic instability of a foreign country, currency
controls, exchange rate fluctuations, changes in import/export regulations,
trade policies and tariffs. As previously mentioned, the Company is currently
involved in divesting the PGTS and defense simulation segment of the business.
RIGHTS TO TECHNOLOGY
The Company's technology developments are the result of internally funded
projects and customer-sponsored contracts. In the case of internally funded
developments, the Company retains all rights to the development. In the case of
customer-sponsored contracts, the Company's rights to the developments and
requirements to disseminate the development data are governed by its agreement
with the customer. Under U.S.
5
<PAGE>
Government contracts, the situation depends on the type of contract and the
assertion of proprietary rights to technology and /or data when entering into
the contract.
In general, the Company retains all rights to inventions discovered with
Government funding. This right is subject to the Government's non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-royalty bearing, worldwide license to use and sell the
invention itself. In addition, the Company may be obligated to grant non-royalty
bearing licenses to companies selected by the Government in competitive
procurement to use such inventions in the course of performing their Government
contracts. Unless otherwise specifically stated in the contract, the Government
retains unlimited rights to technical data and computer software developed under
the contract. Government contracts usually call for delivery of specific data
and software items. Unless otherwise stated in the contract, the Government
retains unlimited rights to such technical data and computer software developed
under the contract. In the special case of SBIR (Small Business Innovation
Research) contracts, such as the August 1998 SBIR II contract under which parts
of the IC3D development was done, the Government has limited rights to the
delivered data for five years after project completion (for evaluation purposes
only, release with permission of the contractor, or for emergency repairs of
delivered equipment), and unlimited rights after five years. Data delivered
under the 1998 IC3D SBIR II contract consisted of Quarterly and Final Reports,
and the project was completed in December 1999.
Under non-Government contracts, Perceptronics and the customer agree as part of
the contract who owns the rights to technology and products used for the
development and also developed under the contract, as well as how those rights
shall be compensated during and after the development project
The Company has been made a preliminary application for patent protection
related to its IC3D Framework and IC3D/Wyth technology, and is in the process of
preparing a full application. While the Company generally considers its business
to be primarily dependent upon proprietary knowledge and on rapid assimilation
of innovations it will seek patent protection where it is feasible.
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIES
The Company's manufacturing activities primarily involve its training products,
and include sub-system assembly, final system assembly, integration and testing
of component parts that have been fabricated by others. The Company relies on a
large number of suppliers for the purchase of component parts. Subcontractors
build many of the purchased components to the Company's engineering designs and
specifications. As previously mentioned, the Company is currently involved in
divesting the PGTS and defense simulation segment of the business which
comprises the Company's entire manufacturing operation.

<PAGE>
COMPETITION
In its strategically emerging business area of Internet Collaborative 3D, the
Company faces several types of competitors who have already entered the market.
In the field of online 3D gaming and virtual communities, for example,
established companies include Sony, Sega, Blaxxun, and others. In the field of
multi-user communications, companies include Mpath, Macromedia and Microsoft. In
the field of enabling collaborative technologies, competitors include Active
Worlds, VRTelecom, Geometrek and others. The Company is definitely the "new
company on the block", and will seek to compete on the basis of it's proprietary
knowledge and know-how and superior technology and products, as well as on its
open system marketing approach, which provides the IC3D Framework as a component
part of a typical multi-technical solution. One of our most important technical
competencies is our extensive experience with and knowledge of the DOD developed
High Level Architecture (HLA) and its Run Time Infrastructure (RTI). These are
the already proven distributed simulation consepts and protocols that underlie
our commercial IC3D Framework. At the same time, other competitors have more
commercial experience and greater resources and may also have an established
customer base, and there is no assurance the Company will be able to compete
successfully in this new market area.
In the case of competitively bid defense contracts the Company's typical
competitors for system development contracts include SAIC, Litton, Lockheed
Martin, and TRW. Competitors for training and command support products include
Lockheed Martin, General Electric Company, ECC International, CAE, and such
foreign companies as Wegmann, SAAB and Giravions Dorand. All of these companies
have substantial financial, technological and marketing resources, which enables
them to bid on larger contracts. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to compete successfully in the future.
STRATEGIC PARTNERING AND TEAMING AGREEMENTS
In the area of Internet products and services, the Company intends to minimize
investment risk by entering into a series of business alliances with established
suppliers of Internet tools and content and with major and/or leading edge
developers of Internet Web sites. Utilizing such alliances will allow the
Company to minimize the amount of capital investment required to enter into the
market, and would help bring new know-how into the Company. The Company has
already established or is actively exploring alliances with companies involved
with online games and entertainment, e-commerce, education and communications,
as well as developers and suppliers of tools for high-end 3-D and streaming
media experiences on the Internet.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had 9 full-time and part-time employees and
consultants, consisting of 2 management personnel, 1 marketing person, 4
administrative and support personnel, 2 scientific and technical personnel. None
of the Company's
7
<PAGE>
employees are represented by a labor union and the Company has experienced no
work stoppages. Research and development costs, as reported in the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Operations are funded by the Company. During the last
six months of fiscal 2000, the Company's scientific and technical personnel
worked exclusively on internally funded research and development. The Company is
primarily a computer software business and has not incurred any material costs
associated with compliance with environmental laws.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's primary offices are located in a 3,500 square foot rented facility
in Woodland Hills, California, a Los Angeles suburb. The total monthly rent for
this space is approximately $4,600, and the space is rented on a monthly basis.
The Company maintains its manufacturing operation in a leased facility of
approximately 11,000 square feet in Chatsworth, California. The monthly rent for
this manufacturing facility is approximately $6,700 and the lease expires in
October 2000. Eidetics Corporation, who is acquiring the assets of the PGTS
Training Systems product line, will take over this lease as part of the
acquisition. At March 31, 2000, the Company was leasing a 6,000 square foot
Southern California facility for storage purposes. The Company vacated this
facility in mid-May 2000 and the lease was terminated in exchange for a cash
settlement of $5,400.
The Company has no significant investments or interests in real estate, real
estate mortgages, or securities of or interests in entities primarily engaged in
real estate activities.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Perceptronics , Inc., (the "Company"), has focused entirely on developing new
commercial products in the area of Internet Collaboration during the past fiscal
year. The product, called IC3D-TM- Framework, is directed toward the rapidly
growing market for multi-person, online, collaborative interactions in 3D
virtual environments, animation and streaming media accessed over the Internet.
The major market applications for IC3D-TM- Framework are entertainment,
education, e-commerce and business communication. The Company has historically
engaged in the design, development and manufacture of computer-based simulation
systems for training and decision support. These systems include both hardware
and software. The Company's simulators are used to train personnel in the use of
various military and commercial equipment, including weapons, vehicles and
aircraft. In the decision support area, the Company's computer software systems
are used to enhance command and control operations, for process modeling and
simulation, and for management of concurrent engineering activities in product
development and manufacturing. Much of the Company's simulator business has been
in the foreign defense industry where the Company has built an international
reputation. As part of the Company's current business strategy, the Company is
moving to divest itself of the PGTS and computer-based simulation systems
business by selling that portion of the business to Eidetics Corporation, a
developer and manufacturer of defense simulation products. The tightening of
defense budgets worldwide, combined with the continuing consolidation and
intense competition in the defense industry, have negatively impacted the growth
and profit opportunities for small companies such as Perceptronics. Refer to the
Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for a discussion of the Company's
plans to divest the training simulator system product line.
GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION
The following discussion is based on the audited consolidated financial
statements contained elsewhere in this report. The audited financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals,
which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects
on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classifications of the liabilities that may result from the possible inability
of the Company to continue as a going concern. See Note A of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
SALE OF PGTS TRAINING SYSTEM ASSETS
On December 27, 1999, the Company and Eidetics Corporation executed a Memorandum
of Understanding regarding the sale of the PGTS product line to Eidetics
Corporation. In March 2000, the Company commenced significant discussions with
Eidetics Corporation leading to the sale of substantially all of the inventory,
leaseholds, equipment and certain
10
<PAGE>
identifiable intangible assets of it's PGTS Training System product line. The
agreement of sale is expected to be completed and signed by the parties by the
end of June 2000. The book value of the assets being sold is $320,000. The
equipment is fully depreciated and has been valued at $10,000 and the
identifiable intangible assets, which are not capitalized, are valued at
$140,000 for a total purchase price of $470,000. In consideration for the
purchase of the product line assets, Eidetics Corporation is paying off a bank
loan of the Company's valued at $134,000 and a loan with the Small Business
Administration valued at $43,000. Eidetics is also assuming the Company's
account payable liability of $293,000 with a foreign support services
representative. The Company will also be entitled to royalty payments under the
agreement on future PGTS Training System sales by Eidetics for a four-year
period from the date of the sale.
Operating result of the PGTS Training Systems product line were as follows;
2000 1999
---- ----
Net Sales $ - $ 2,827,000
Net income (loss) $ (451,000) $ 33,000
As of March 31, 2000, inventories being sold were written down $140,000
consistent with the agreed upon fair market value. Upon completion of sale, the
Company will report a gain of approximately $150,000, applicable to the fully
depreciated equipment and the identifiable intangible assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES. Net sales for the fiscal 2000 of $721,000 decreased by $3,594,000 or
83% compared to fiscal 1999. Sales of training simulator systems decreased
$2,794,000 or 100% as a result of the completion of a contract with the
Government of Egypt for TOW PGTS simulator systems during the previous fiscal
year ended March 31,1999. This contract had a total contract value of $3.0
million of which $2,799,000 was recognized in the fiscal 1999. Training
simulator system sales during fiscal 2000 amounted to only $5,000 consisting of
small orders for parts and maintenance. Simulation network technology sales,
which represented 99% of net sales during fiscal 2000, decreased $683,000 or
49%. Simulation network technology sales during the fiscal 2000 resulted from
the U.S. Government SBIR Phase II contract and the State of California contract
that have been providing the funding for the development and commercialization
of the IC3D-TM- Framework network software products for on-line, multi-user
applications involving complex 3D environments. The SBIR Phase II and the State
of California contract were completed by September 30, 1999. The Company was
also working on a U.S. Government contract for HLA software development. This
contract was completed in October 1999. The completion of these contracts with
no follow-on contracts starting up accounted for the decline in sales. Refer to
the backlog discussion below for the backlog status at March 31, 2000.
11
<PAGE>
Net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 was $3,000, a decrease
of $744,000 or 99% compared to the comparable three-month period in the prior
fiscal year. Sales of training simulator systems decreased $295,000 or 100%
because there were no sales during the three-month period ended March 31, 2000.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 1999, the sales of $295,000 were
on the contract with the Government of Egypt. Simulation network technology
sales decrease $446,000 because there were no sales during the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2000,
network technology sales were the result of the Government contracts described
in the previous paragraph.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales for fiscal 2000 decreased 67% from fiscal 1999.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, a nonrecurring adjustment to inventory
and pre-contract costs of $140,000 was recorded to value these assets at fair
market value consistent with the terms of the sale of the PGTS training systems
product line. Excluding the non-recurring adjustment, the decrease in cost of
sales for fiscal 2000 would be 73% as a result of the 83% decrease in sales
discussed above. The decrease in cost of sales is not proportional to the
decrease in net sales because of certain fixed and semi-fixed expenses. Cost of
sales as a percentage of sales during fiscal 2000, excluding the non-recurring
adjustment, was 104% compared to 63% during the fiscal 1999. The higher
component (99%) of simulation network technology sales, which carry lower
margins than training simulator systems sales, and the fixed and semi-fixed
expenses contributed to the higher percentage of cost of sales to net sales
during fiscal 2000.
Cost of sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 decreased 55%.
Excluding the non-recurring adjustment discussed above, the decrease in cost of
sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 would be 73% as a result
of the 83% decrease in sales discussed above. The reason for the change is the
same as discussed above for the fiscal year.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $409,000 or 35% in fiscal 2000 compared to
fiscal 1999. The decrease was the result of reductions of marketing expenses,
indirect payroll expenses and facilities expense. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $148,000 or 43% in the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the comparable three-month period in the prior
fiscal year. The reason for the decrease is the same as for the twelve-month
period.
The Company's management continues to pursue cost reduction measures consistent
with the level of business wherever opportunities can be identified. As
previously reported, during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 the company moved
its principal office into a smaller space which resulted in a substantial
reduction in rent expense for the balance of the year. The Company also moved
from a rented storage facility during the forth quarter of the fiscal year which
will result in reduced rent expense going forward. During the fiscal year
substantial reductions have also been made in personnel to reduce payroll
related expenses.
12
<PAGE>
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 86% or $251,000 in fiscal 2000
compared to fiscal 1999. Interest expense decreased significantly because of the
completion of the Egypt contract and the resulting repayment of the export
credit facility during the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. In the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000, interest expense decreased 91% or
$49,000. There was no interest expense associated with the export credit
facility during the twelve-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2000.
BACKLOG. The Company's firm contract backlog at March 31, 2000 was 2,998,000.
This represented a new contract awarded to the Company by the Government of
Egypt for improved TOW PGTS training simulator systems. At March 31, 1999, firm
contract backlog was $723,000. The term "firm contract backlog" refers to the
aggregate revenue remaining under contracts held by the Company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
The Company is experiencing severe liquidity problems due to a lack of revenues
and the absence of cash reserves. At March 31, 2000, the Company's unrestricted
cash balances of $356,000 were the result of equity investments made during the
third and forth quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company had negative working capital
of $357,000 at March 31, 2000, compared to positive working capital of $93,000
at March 31, 1999. The Company continues to have difficulty in meeting all of
its obligations as they come due. At March 31, 2000, vendor accounts totaling
$530,000 are past due. The lack of sufficient working capital continues to
restrict the Company's ability to expand its revenue base. See Note B of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is hereby incorporated herein
by reference.
During the third quarter, the Company announced that it is seeking to divest its
PGTS training simulator development and manufacturing operation. The Company
plans to concentrate its efforts on the development of technology and total
solutions for collaborative interaction on the Internet and other networks,
including its IC3D Framework and 3Dconnect software. The Company's management
believes that while the PGTS training simulator systems product line has
historically been a significant portion of the Company's business and has
provided the majority of the Company's revenues, the product line offers less
potential for future growth than the Internet related products. On December 31,
1999, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and a Teaming
Agreement with Eidetics Corporation, which would lead to the purchase of the
PGTS training simulator product line by Eidetics once a new contract is awarded
to the Company by the Government of Egypt. On March 14, 2000, the Company and
the Government of Egypt signed a contract for the production and delivery of
improved TOW PGTS simulator systems and applicable engineering and support at a
fixed contract price of $2,998,000. The sale of the PGTS training simulator
systems product line assets to Eidetics Corporation is moving forward and should
be completed by the end of June. There is no assurance that the divestiture of
the PGTS product line will improve the Company's viability.

<PAGE>
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, the Company's SBIR Phase II
software contract and the California Technology Investment Partnership contract,
which provided funding for development of commercial software products
associated with IC3D-TM- Framework, were completed. The Company has reduced its
level of operations and still requires significant financing from external
sources to be able to fund the development of the IC3D-TM- Framework commercial
software products. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, the
Company received $500,000 from individual investors pursuant to stock purchase
subscription agreements for the purchase of 1,005,396 shares of common stock.
The subscription agreements also provide for the issuance of warrants to these
investors for 991,111 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from
$.56 to $1.00. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue
to raise the financing required to fund operations in the future and whether the
commercial software products will start to generate revenue and profits. Also,
the terms of any financing could be unfavorable to the Company and dilutive to
its shareholders. In response to its need to conserve cash resources, the
Company has reduced its work force to nine employees and reduced some employee
work schedules. The Company continues to pursue U.S. Government sponsored
development contracts that have provided technical inputs to the commercial
software products as well as providing revenue and income. The Company is also
exploring alternative sources for financing such as strategic business alliances
and potential business combinations in order to meet the short and long-term
objectives.
The Company currently has a $200,000 note payable with a bank that is guaranteed
by the Small Business Administration (SBA). At March 31,2000, the principal
balance outstanding was $127,000. The note bears interest at prime rate plus
2.75 percentage points with principal and interest payable monthly amortizing
over five years. At March 31, 2000, the Company is past due on four of the
scheduled monthly payments. The Company also has a note payable directly with
the SBA which has a principal balance of $43,000 at March 31, 2000. Both of the
above mentioned notes payable are to be paid off in full by Eidetics Corporation
under the terms of the agreement to purchase the PGTS Training System product
line assets.
The Company also has a 24-month note payable with a starting principal of
$100,000 that bears interest at 8% per annum. At March 31,2000, the outstanding
balance on this note payable was $39,000. At March 31, 2000, the Company is past
due on eight scheduled monthly payments on this note as a result of the cash
flow limitations previously discussed. The Company intends to address this past
due note once there is sufficient operating cash-flow.
The Company's operating activities used cash of $785,000 during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2000 resulting primarily from the operating loss incurred during
the period due to reduced sales levels and offset by the collection of
receivables.
The Company's investing activities used cash of $7,000 during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2000 as a result of the purchase of computer equipment. The
Company is primarily a developer of computer software and therefore not capital
intensive. The Company doesn't currently have any material commitments for the
purchase of capital assets.
14
<PAGE>
The Company's financing activities provided cash of $699,000 during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2000 primarily as a result of selling common stock. Cash of
$45,000 was used to reduce long-term debt.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
During the fiscal year and prior to December 31, 1999, the Company purchased a
current generation accounting and manufacturing software system to replace its
previously existing computer system. The implementation of the new system was
completed prior to December 31, 1999. To date the Company has not experienced
any problems or incurred any costs associated with year 2000 compliance issues.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for the historical information contained herein, this report contains
forward-looking statements (identified by the words "estimate," "project,"
"anticipate," "plan," "expect," "intend," "believe," "hope," "strategy" and
similar expressions) which are based on Management's current expectations and
speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements are subject to
various risks, uncertainties and factors, including, without limitation, those
described below, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
results anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
GOING CONCERN ISSUE AND SEVERE LIQUIDITY PROBLEMS. The Company's financial
statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principals, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. See the Independent Auditors'
Report and Note A of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained
elsewhere herein. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company's
revenue levels have significantly declined during the fiscal year ended March
31, 2000. The Company has also sustained operating losses in recent years and
requires substantial amounts of working capital in its operations. As a result,
the Company suffers from limited cash resources that restrict its ability to bid
for, obtain and perform larger contracts. Even if the Company overcomes its
liquidity problems, there can be no assurance that in the future the Company
will be able to increase revenues or operate profitably.
BUSINESS STRATEGY; IC3D-TM- FRAMEWORK SOFTWARE PRODUCT. A major part of the
Company's long term business strategy is to focus on the development of
commercial products derived from the Company's defense related technology and
expertise in order to expand its customer base and reduce its dependence on
defense contracts. As part of this strategy, the Company has obtained a U.S.
Government Department of Defense SBIR Phase II Fast Track contract for $750,000
to develop and commercialize networking software for commercial on-line,
multi-player games involving complex 3D
15
<PAGE>
environments ("IC3D-TM- Framework software"). The Company has succeeded in
obtaining equity funding of $390,000 to satisfy self-funding requirements under
the SBIR contract. The Company will also require additional equity funding to be
able to fully commercialize, market and exploit the IC3D-TM- Framework software.
There can be no assurance that all future funding requirements will be obtained
and at terms that will be advantageous from an economic standpoint. Furthermore,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its development
efforts, or that the IC3D-TM- Framework software will be a commercially feasible
product, or that the Company will be able to successfully market the IC3D-TM-
Framework software.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. The simulation and internet
software markets are characterized by rapid technological change and are highly
competitive. The Company's success is dependent on its ability to develop new
products and product enhancements to keep up with technological advances and to
meet customer needs. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or respond
adequately to technological developments and customer requirements, or any
significant delays in product development or introduction, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
The Company has limited manufacturing and marketing capabilities and financial
resources and will be dependent upon establishing relationships with strategic
and marketing partners to be able to fully exploit the IC3D-TM- Framework
software and other commercial products. There can be no assurance that the
IC3D-TM- Framework software or future new products will achieve market
acceptance, result in increased revenues, or be profitable. Such products could
also be subject to technological obsolescence and intense competition from
companies with greater resources than the Company.
DEPENDENCE ON ONE CUSTOMER AND ON FOREIGN SALES. The Company has historically
derived a substantial portion of its revenues from the sale of PGTS Training
Simulator systems primarily to a limited number of foreign customers. During the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 there were no training simulator sales to
foreign customers compared to 65% in the prior fiscal year. The Company
announced that it plans to divest its training simulator product line. There is
no assurance that the divestiture will improve the Company viability.
DEPENDENCE ON DEFENSE-RELATED BUSINESS. The Company has historically derived a
substantial portion of its revenues from U.S. and foreign government
defense-related contracts. As a result, the Company's business has been impacted
by reductions in the U.S. federal defense budget and this business will continue
to be subject to risks affecting the defense industry, including changes in
governmental appropriations and changes in national defense policies and
priorities. The Company has sought to reduce its dependence on defense-related
business by developing products with commercial applications, such as the
proposed IC3D-TM- Framework software networking products. As noted above, there
can be no assurance that these products will achieve market acceptance,
resulting in increased revenues and profitability.
16
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH. Successful expansion of the Company's operations will
depend on, among other things, the ability to develop and commercialize new
products, to continue to effectively market existing products, to attract and
retain skilled management and other personnel and to secure adequate sources of
capital to finance growth at reasonable terms. To manage growth effectively, the
Company will have to continue to improve its operational, financial and
management information systems, procedures and controls. As the Company expands,
it may from time to time experience constraints that will adversely effect its
ability to satisfy customer demand in a timely fashion. Failure to manage growth
effectively could adversely effect the Company's financial condition and results
of operations.
COMPETITION. The Company expects to encounter intense competition in the area of
networked on-line computer software products from companies that have
substantially greater financial, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than
the Company. The Company could also experience competition from emerging
companies. There can be no assurance that the Company's products will be
competitive with existing or future products, or that the Company will be able
to establish or maintain a profitable price structure for its products. The
Company also experiences intense competition for U.S. and foreign government
contracts from companies such as SAIC, Litton, Lockheed Martin and TRW, which
have substantially greater resources than the Company. The Company's size and
financial condition impedes its ability to compete in many areas.
PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Company relies on a combination of
trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property law, nondisclosure
agreements and other protective measures to preserve its proprietary rights
pertaining to its technology and products. Such protection, however, may not
preclude competitors from developing products or technology similar or superior
to the Company's. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries do not
protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the
United States. Although the Company continues to implement protective measures
and intends to defend its proprietary rights to the extent it has the financial
resources to do so, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be
successful. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company's products
or technologies are not or will not be in violation of the patent rights of
third parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and
Perceptronics, Inc. and Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Perceptronics, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' equity, and cashflows 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 audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the 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 audit provides 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 Perceptronics, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and
its cashflows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements,
the Company had a net loss of $1,172,528 for the year ended March 31, 2000. As
of March 31, 2000, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by
$357,000 and had net equity of $535,000. As described more fully in Note A to
the financial statements, the Company is in arrears on accounts with certain
vendor creditors which, among other things, causes the balances to become due on
demand. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY: Perceptronics, Inc., (the "Company") is a company in
transition. The Company has currently focused entirely on building a new
position in commercial products and services for Internet Collaborative
Interactivity from its previous dual focus on networking technology and defense
simulation product and services. We call our new Internet product line the
IC3D-TM- Framework.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Perceptronics Inc. (the "Company") and it's wholly owned subsidiary.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has sustained
operating losses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 and requires
substantial amounts of working capital to support its operations. At March 31,
2000, current liabilities exceed current assets by $357,000. The Company
continues to have difficulty in meeting its obligations as they become due.
Payments to vendors, totaling approximately $530,000 at March 31, 2000 are past
due. The Company's cash flow during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 was not
sufficient to meet current operating requirements and the Company continues to
have difficulty making satisfactory progress toward liquidating its past due
obligations. The ability of the Company to operate its business and generate
sufficient positive cash flows is dependent on raising additional investment
capital to fund development of commercial software products. Since September 30,
1999, the Company has raised $845,000 of investment capital, which has been the
primary source of funding for continuing operations. The Company's consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
SALE OF PGTS TRAINING SYSTEM ASSETS: On December 27, 1999, the Company and
Eidetics Corporation executed a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the sale
of the PGTS product line to Eidetics Corporation. In March 2000, the Company
commenced significant discussions with Eidetics Corporation leading to the sale
of substantially all of the inventory, leaseholds, equipment and certain
identifiable intangible assets of it's PGTS Training System product line. The
agreement of sale is expected to be completed and signed by the parties by the
end of June 2000. The book value of the assets being sold is $320,000. The
equipment is fully depreciated and has been valued at $10,000 and the
identifiable intangible assets, which are not capitalized, are valued at
$140,000 for a total purchase price of $470,000.

PERCEPTRONICS, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In consideration for the purchase of the product line assets, Eidetics
Corporation is paying off a bank loan of the Company's valued at $134,000 and a
loan with the Small Business Administration valued at $43,000. Eidetics is also
assuming the Company's account payable liability of $293,000 with a foreign
support services representative.
The company will also be entitled to royalty payments under the agreement on
future PGTS Training System sales by Eidetics for a four-year period from the
date of the sale.
Operating results of the PGTS Training Systems product line were as follows:
2000 1999
---- ----
Net sales $ - $ 2,827,000
Net income (loss) $ (451,000) $ 33,000
As of March 31, 2000, inventories being sold were written down $140,000
consistent with the agreed upon fair market value. Upon completion of the sale,
the Company will report a gain of approximately $150,000, applicable to the
fully depreciated equipment and the identifiable intangible assets.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: All highly liquid investments maturing in three months or less
when purchased are considered as cash equivalents.
INVENTORY: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined principally by the first-in, first-out method.
PRE-CONTRACT COSTS: Costs incurred in connection with contracts which have not
been signed at the balance sheet date (but where recoverability of costs is
probable) are accounted for as pre-contract costs. No revenues or profits have
been recognized on these costs. At March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 deferred
pre-contract costs were $220,000 and $176,317 respectively.
EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS: Equipment and leasehold improvements are
stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided for by the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 5 years.
Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for by the straight-line
method over the shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the leases.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REVENUE RECOGNITION: During fiscal 2000 and 1999, 12% and 69% of the Company's
total revenues resulted from products sold to commercial customers who were
either foreign governments or domestic or foreign companies, respectively. Sales
of products and services related to United States Government contracts were 88%
and 31% of total revenues, respectively. Of the U.S. Government contract sales,
100% and 90% were for contracts that provided for reimbursement of cost plus
fixed-fees and 0% and 10% were fixed price contracts. All sales were recorded
using the percentage-of-completion (cost-to-cost) method of accounting. Under
this method, sales are recorded as costs (including general and administrative
expenses) are incurred, plus a portion of the profit expected to be realized on
each contract in the ratio that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated
cost at completion.
General and administrative expenses in excess of rates billed on contracts are
recorded in the period incurred. Costs related to anticipated future losses on
contracts are accrued and charged to expense in the period when the losses are
identified.
INCOME TAXES: Provisions for federal and state income taxes are calculated on
reported financial statement income based on the current tax law. Such
provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain items of
income and expense, known as temporary differences, are recognized in different
tax periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes.
Deferred income taxes are the result of the recognition of tax benefits that
management expects to realize from the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards. The amounts recorded are net of a valuation allowance and
represent management's estimate of the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized.
USE OF ESTIMATES: Company management has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE: Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS
No. 128"). This statement replaces the previously reported primary and fully
diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the
previously-reported primary earnings per share in that it includes the effect of
the additional common shares which would have been outstanding if dilutive stock
options had been exercised. All earnings per share amounts have been restated to
conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements.
The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per
share for the years ended March 31:
2000 1999

The calculations of earnings excluded the effect of the assumed exercise of the
following numbers of outstanding common stock options and warrants because their
effect was antidilutive: 920,300 in 2000 and 40,300 in 1999.

NOTE B - RECEIVABLES
At March 31, 2000 there were no billed receivables. At March 31, 1999 there were
$133,881 of billed receivables that represented amounts that had been invoiced
on commercial and United States Government contracts that remained unpaid at
year-end. Since the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 there were no active
contracts consequently there were no billed receivables at year-end.
Unbilled receivables at March 31, 2000 are $10,501 and at March 31, 1999 are
$151,580. These balances represent amounts recognized under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting that have not been billed because
of the billing terms of the contract.
The amount of contract retention included in unbilled receivables was $10,501 in
fiscal 2000 and $70,000 in fiscal 1999.
The books and records of the Company are subject to audit by the Defense
Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). The Company's overhead costs have been audited and
approved by the DCAA through fiscal year 1997. The Company believes that it is
in substantial compliance with Government record-keeping and cost-allocation
requirements, and does not expect any significant adjustments as a result of the
future audit of 1999 and 1998 overhead costs. As discussed in Note E, a large
multi-year contract, which was completed in fiscal 1994 remains open.
NOTE C - EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS

interest at 6% per year. The terms of the note required repayment by March 1,
1996 and December 31, 1995 respectively; however, the Company was unable to
repay the notes because of cash flow problems. The Company intends to pay off
the notes, as cash flow is available to do so.

$ 800 $ 1,651
=========== ============
At March 31, 2000, the Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of
approximately $22,300,000 for federal income tax purposes and $1,300,000 for
state income tax purposes, respectively, expiring in varying amounts through
2015. At March 31, 2000, approximately $750,000 of state net operating losses
expired. The Federal NOL carryforwards, which are available to offset future
profits of the Company and are subject to limitations should a "change in
ownership" as defined by the Internal Revenue Code occur, will begin to expire
in 2001 if not utilized. State net operating loss carryforwards at March 31,
2000 expire between 2001 and 2005, if not utilized.
In 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
(SFAS 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS 109 is an asset and liability
approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
the Company's financial statements or tax returns. Previously, the Company used
the APB 11 approach that gave no recognition to future events other than the
recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts.
Under SFAS 109 the Company recognizes to a greater degree the future tax
benefits of expenses which have been recognized in the financial statements.
SFAS 109 requires that the tax benefit of such NOLs be recorded using current
tax rates as an asset to the extent management assesses the utilization of such
NOLs to be more likely than not. Management has determined that future taxable
income of the Company will more likely than not be sufficient to realize the
recorded deferred tax asset of $7,407,000 net of a valuation allowance of
$6,474,000.
F-14
<PAGE>
PERCEPTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Realization of the future tax benefits of the NOL carryforwards is dependent on
the Company's ability to generate taxable income within the carryforward period.
In assessing the likelihood of utilization of existing NOL carryforwards,
management considered the historical results of continuing operations over the
last three years and the current economic environment in which the Company
operates. Management did not consider any non-routine transactions in assessing
the likelihood of realization of the recorded deferred tax asset.
Federal income tax NOL carryforwards will expire between fiscal 2001 and 2015
and state income tax operating loss carryforwards will expire between fiscal
2001 and 2005 if not used to offset taxable income.
The following reconciles the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective
rate of the provision for income taxes.

NOTE G - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company has a combined profit sharing and retirement/savings plan qualifying
for treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). All employees aged 21
and older, except those covered by a collective bargaining agreement, are

The Company applies APB 25 in accounting for its Stock Option Program described
above. The option price under the Stock Option Program equals or exceeds the
fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant and, accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized under the provisions of APB 25 for stock
options. Under SFAS 123, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based
on the value of the award and is recognized over the service (or vesting)
period. Had compensation cost for the Company's Stock Option Program and other
stock based compensation been determined under SFAS 123, based on the fair
market value at the grant dates, the Company's pro forma net earnings and net
earnings per share would have been reflected as follows:

The fair value of each option and warrant grant is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumption used for those options granted in 2000 and 1999,
respectively: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 20% and 20%,
risk-free interest rates of 5.00% and 5.00%, and expected lives of 5 years.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, the Company entered into stock
purchase subscription agreements with several investors for the purchase of
1,907,618 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $770,000. The
subscription agreements also provide for the issuance of warrants to the
investors for the purchase of up to 1,843,333 shares of common stock at exercise
prices that range from $.25 to $1.00. The Company also issued 11,112 shares of
common stock upon receipt of $5,000 which was due the Company on a subscription
agreement from the prior fiscal year.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, the Company issued warrants to
