COMPUSONICS VIDEO CORPORATION
FORM 10-K
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business.
CompuSonics Video Corporation ("Registrant") was organized under the laws
of the State of Colorado on August 14, 1985. The Registrant's principal
activities since inception have been devoted to obtaining equity capital for the
development of a digital video recording and playback system with a view towards
its manufacture and marketing.
The Registrant has no substantial operations, research and development,
earnings, cash flows, product development or sources of financing.
On December 13, 1985, the Registrant concluded a public offering of
30,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one
Class A Warrant, and received net proceeds of $727,971.
On November 16, 1987, the Registrant acquired The Tyler-Shaw Corporation,
a New York corporation ("Tyler-Shaw"), which was engaged in the business of
direct mail marketing.
Effective July 31, 1992, Tyler-Shaw was considered inactive. Tyler-Shaw
has no substantial operations, research and development, earnings, cash flows,
product development or sources of financing.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.
Prior to the year ended July 31, 1992, the Registrant engaged in two
business segments: (1) Development and marketing of a digital video recording
and playback system, and (2) Direct mail marketing. All of the Registrant's
revenues for the past four fiscal years have been from the direct mail marketing
segment. The Registrant had no revenues for the current year or for the two
immediately preceding years and considers its direct mail marketing segment
inactive.
(c) Narrative Description of Business.
(c) (1) (i):

<PAGE>
THE COMPUSONICS VIDEO SYSTEM
- ----------------------------
The Registrant has developed a system to make video recordings, digitalize
video images and playback digital data on a television monitor. Digitalizing and
random access capabilities represent significant improvements over conventional
analog recorders.
Conventional analog video recorders convert electrical impulses
representing visual images into wave forms which are then stored on magnetic
tape or disk. On playback, wave forms are converted back into electrical
impulses which are converted to visual images through a television picture tube
or similar device. In an analog system, the accuracy of the reproduced image is
dependent upon the quality of the tape or disk, as well as the quality of the
playback system itself. Further, the noise generated by the surface defects on
the tape or disk is apparent when the image is played back.
Advances in computer technology, particularly in digital memory devices,
have been applied in the development of both audio and video digital recording
and playback systems. CompuSonics Corporation, owner of 7.1% of the Common Stock
of the Registrant, has produced audio digital systems which utilize advanced
microcomputer chips to record and reproduce audio signals using its proprietary
digital audio technology, known as "CSX". The Registrant has exclusive license
to utilize the CSX technology in the development and production of its products.
The motion picture industry currently uses digital image processors for the
creation of special effects and picture enhancements. These image processors use
small digital memories to store and manipulate images which have been
digitalized and transferred from analog sources.
In the Registrant's proposed system, video signals would be converted into
numerical data representing video images. Data would then be stored in a
temporary buffer memory. Each video frame image would be processed, through
licensed CSX technology, to reduce the amount of data to the minimum required to
produce an image for playback closely resembling the image as initially
recorded. Data representing the video image would be stored on a floppy disk or
other computer information storage disk. Playback of the digital data would
occur on a television monitor with a compatible signal receiving capability. The
accompanying high fidelity audio signal could be routed to a suitably equipped
stereo television set or through a conventional stereo system adjacent to the
monitor.
Proposed Products
The Registrant has no developed products at this time. The digital video
system that the Registrant was developing consisted of a group of proposed
products that would record, playback, edit and transmit video data and audio
data in connection with the video.
4
<PAGE>
The Registrant will most likely attempt to sublicense manufacturing rights
or enter into production contracts with non-affiliated parties. There are no
current prospects for such sublicenses or contracts and the prospects of success
cannot be determined.
Marketing
The Registrant has had no marketing activities since 1990.
DIRECT MAIL MARKETING
- ---------------------
Tyler-Shaw's business consisted of offering specialized products to direct
mail list owners through a process called syndication.
Tyler-Shaw's president terminated employment in March, 1991, and it's
Pennsylvania office was closed. A short-term arrangement with a consultant
lapsed in July, 1991 and hasn't been renewed. Since that time the company has
been inactive.
(c) (1) (ii) Except for its proposed products listed above, there has been
no public announcement of, and the Registrant has not otherwise made public,
information about a new product or industry segment that would require the
investment of a material amount of the assets of the Registrant or that
otherwise is material.
(c) (1) (iii) The Registrant anticipates that any production of new
products will be organized by second-party marketers and manufacturers,
therefore the sources and availability of raw materials are not material
concerns.
(c) (l)(iv) The Registrant holds all rights to United States and certain
foreign patent and patent applications for a digital video recording and
playback system. On July 21, 1987, patent number 4,682,248 was issued the
company with three claims of the Registrant being allowed. On July 5, 1988,
patent number 4,755,889 was issued to the company with four claims being
allowed. There can be no assurance that patents will be issued in connection
with the remaining applications. If future patents are granted and any of them
are tested in litigation, such patents may not afford protection as broad as the
claims made in the patent applications. Furthermore, expense required to enforce
patent rights against infringers would be costly. However, the Registrant
believes the patent protection obtained, and any further issuances, will greatly
assist efforts to protect its technology from being copied.
The Registrant has also been granted a limited exclusive license by
CompuSonics Corporation to utilize its proprietary digital audio technology,
CSX, for the limited purpose of incorporating that technology into its proposed
video system to process the audio portions of recorded material. CompuSonics
5
<PAGE>
Corporation, a Colorado corporation, and a shareholder of the Registrant, has
been engaged in marketing and promoting its CSX Technology licensing and
engineering consulting services on a reduced and limited basis.
(c)(l)(v) The Registrant's business is not seasonally affected.
(c) (1) (vi) The Registrant has no marketable product and as such is not
required to carry significant amounts of inventory.
(c) (l) (vii) The Registrant has attempted to market its technology.
Therefore the success of the Registrant is dependent upon the ability of the
Registrant to locate customers who will purchase the proposed products or
technology offered by the Registrant. There can be no guarantee that such
customers can be located.
The subsidiary, Tyler-Shaw, acted as a sales representative and syndicator
of consumer products through direct mail marketing programs principally in
conjunction with major credit card companies. Tyler-Shaw is currently inactive
and the success of the subsidiary is doubtful.
(c) (1) (viii) There is no backlog at this time.
(c) (1) (ix) No material portion of the Registrant's business is subject
to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the
election of the government.
(c) (l)(x) The Registrant competes with all companies engaged in design,
manufacture and marketing of digital video recording and playback systems. The
Registrant's primary competition in the home entertainment market will be the
Video Cassette Recorder ("VCR"). VCRs are manufactured and sold by numerous
large, well financed companies with established distribution channels. Rental
and sale of video cassettes is also well established and there are numerous
outlets for pre-produced and blank video cassettes. Costs for purchasing new
VCRs have been decreasing since their market introduction and VCRs are readily
available for rent. It is anticipated that the Registrant's DVR will be
significantly more expensive to purchase than a VCR. The Registrant anticipates
that its system would compete with the VCR on the basis of the high quality of
its video and audio on playback and because of the ability to more precisely
index and locate selected material for playback. The Registrant is aware of the
development of systems similar to its own. There can be no assurance that such
systems will not soon be marketed by competitors. It can be expected that most
of the Registrant's competitors will have extensive experience and possess
financial, technological and personnel resources substantially greater than the
Registrant's.
The Registrant's subsidiary, Tyler-Shaw, who is currently inactive, was in
6
<PAGE>
competition with all companies engaged in direct mail marketing. It can be
expected that most of the Registrant's direct mail marketing competitors will
have extensive experience and possess financial, technological and personnel
resources substantially greater than the Registrant's.
(c)(l)(xi) During the period from August 1, 1989, through July 31, 1997,
the Registrant did not expend any funds on research and development.
(c) (l)(xii) The Registrant is not materially affected by the federal,
state and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the
discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment.
(c)(l) (xiii) As of October 1, 1997, neither the Registrant nor the
subsidiary had full time employees.
(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and
Export Sales.
The Registrant has no material international operations or direct export
sales.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Registrant has been using space, at no charge, in the office of a
related entity for the purposes of administration and development.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Registrant is not a present party to any material pending legal
proceedings and no such proceedings were known as of the end of the fiscal year.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter was submitted to a vote of the Registrant's shareholders during
the fourth quarter ended July 31, 1997.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital decreased by $52,125 for the period from August 1, 1996
through July 31, 1997. This was caused by the net loss for the year of $48,566
and the unrealized loss difference on investments of $3,559 from the previous
year.
Net loss from operations was $7,026 which was primarily patent fees of
$2,463; management fees of $1,200 to a related company and professional fees of
$3,144 for auditing services and stock transfer fees.
In accordance with SFAS 115, the Registrant reported the 28,475 shares of
Williams Controls, Inc. common stock (Nasdaq "WMCO") at fair market value at
closing price on July 31, 1997 of $67,628. The stock is classified as
available-for-sale securities and originally cost $25,035.
In the past the Registrant has relied on a related company to provide the
working funds it has required but there is no assurance that this will continue
in future years.

(b) (1) Compensation Pursuant to Plans.
Incentive Stock Option Plan
The Board of Directors of the Registrant, in October 1985, adopted an
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") for key employees. Options covering a
total of 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock are available for grant under the
Plan. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, who are responsible
for establishing the criteria to be applied in administering the Plan. The Board
of Directors is empowered to determine the total number of options to be granted
to any one optionee, provided that the maximum fair market value of the stock
for which any employee may be granted options during a single calendar year may
not exceed $100,000 plus one-half of the excess of $100,000 over the aggregate
fair market value of stock for which an employee was granted options in each of
the three preceding calendar years. The exercise price of the options cannot be
less than the market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (110% of
market value in the case of options to an employee who owns ten percent or more
of the Registrant's voting stock) and no option can have a term in excess of ten
years. In the event of certain changes or transactions such as a stock split,
stock dividend or merger, the Board of Directors has the discretion to make such
adjustments in the number and class of shares covered by an option or the option
price as they deem appropriate. Options granted under the Plan are
nontransferable during the life of the optionee and terminate within three
months upon the cessation of the optionee's employment, unless employment is
terminated for cause in which case the option terminates immediately. Only one
option has been granted under the plan and it has lapsed.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
(a) Transactions with Management and Others.
License Agreement
On September 17, 1985, the Registrant and CompuSonics Corporation, a
shareholder of the Registrant, entered into a license agreement pursuant to
which the Registrant received an exclusive license to the digital audio
technology, CSX, owned by CompuSonics Corporation for the limited purpose of
integrating the audio technology into the Registrant's proposed digital
recording and playback system. The agreement limited the licensed rights for use
only in connection with the video system. No continuing royalty payments or fees
are to be paid. The Registrant is not in violation of any of the license
restrictions. The license may not be transferred by the Registrant. The
technology licensed allows the Registrant to utilize digital audio in its system
rather than an analog-based audio. CompuSonics Corporation has been developing
the licensed digital audio technology since its inception and is currently
engaged in marketing and promoting its CSX Technology licensing and engineering
consulting services on a limited basis.
Assignment Agreement and Issuance of Preferred Stock
The Registrant issued 300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to
CompuSonics Corporation which were converted in September 1988 into 30,000,000
shares of Common Stock in return for the assignment by CompuSonics Corporation
of its rights under United States and certain foreign patent applications, and
all rights to a digital video recording and playback system. The digital video
system patent application was prepared with the assistance of CompuSonics
Corporation's president. Patent application fees and patent counsel fees were
also paid by CompuSonics Corporation. The value of the services and the fees
advanced total $34,500 of which $19,000 was expended for patent application fees
and patent attorney fees and $15,500 represents salary expense for assistance
provided by CompuSonics Corporation personnel. The assignment of patent
application and all other rights to the digital video system gives the
Registrant the right to develop the technology assigned. CompuSonics Corporation
has relinquished the right to develop this video technology.
Loans
The Registrant previously had outstanding notes and accounts payable to an
affiliated party and shareholder, Equitex, Inc. In August 1993, Equitex, Inc.
transferred all its interest in the Registrant including these notes and
accounts payable to an affiliated party. The notes and accounts payable
totalling $47,408 with interest as of July 31, 1997, are unsecured and bear
interest at the rate of 10 and 12% per annum, and are due upon demand.
The Registrant and its subsidiary Tyler-Shaw together, in addition to the
above stated amounts, have outstanding notes and accounts payable to an
20
<PAGE>
affiliated party totaling $566,883 with interest as of July 31, 1997. The loans
are at 10.50% & 10.25% interest, respectfully. These loans are collaterized by
all the assets of Tyler-Shaw and the Registrant. The Registrant also has an
outstanding notes payable to a non-affiliated party in the amount of $28,329,
including interest of 10.50%.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of Directors
CompuSonics Video Corporation and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CompuSonics Video Corporation
and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended
July 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. 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 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 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 CompuSonics Video Corporation
and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years 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 has incurred net losses of $48,566, $63,576, and $57,605 for the
years ended July 31, 1997, 1996, 1995, respectively, and as of July 31, 1997 had
a working capital deficiency of $604,401 and net stockholders' deficiency of
$604,401. The Company earned no commission income during the years ended July
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and is dependent upon a related party to fund its
working capital. Those 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.
F-1
<PAGE>
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as whole. The schedule on F-13 is presented for
purposes of complying with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects
the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as whole.

COMPUSONICS VIDEO CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 1997
-------------
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
A. Business History
CompuSonics Video Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Colorado on August 14, 1985, for the
purpose of developing, manufacturing and marketing a digital video
recording and playback system. On January 20, 1988, the Company
acquired all the outstanding stock of TS Industries, Inc. ("TSI") in
a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. (See Note 2).
TSI was incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 28, 1987, but
did not commence operations until the acquisition of The Tyler-Shaw
Corporation, a New York Corporation ("TSC"). TSI acquired TSC from
Edward B. Rubin, its sole shareholder, under an agreement dated July
23, 1987 (the "Agreement") between Mr. Rubin, Equitex, Inc.
("Equitex") and TICO, Inc. ("TICO"). On November 1, 1987, Equitex
and TICO assigned all their rights under the Agreement to TSI.
Equitex and TICO each owned 50% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of TSI, prior to the exchange of TSI stock for the
Company's stock. This acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting (See Note 2). TSC acted as a
syndicator of consumer products through direct mail marketing
programs. As of July 31, 1992, TSC was considered inactive and all
relating assets were written off along with the reversal of its
prior accruals.
CompuSonics Video Corporation has no proven products or operations
in the digital equipment area.
At this time, Tyler Shaw is without any operations.
B. Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated
financial information of TSI since that entity's inception. This
consolidated financial information of TSI includes the operations of
its wholly-owned subsidiary, TSC, since its acquisition on November
16, 1987. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
C. Patents
Patent costs for the years ended July 31, 1991 and prior were
amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life
of the patents of 17 years. Due to the lack of a marketable product,
research and marketing development, and the lack of adequate capital
to protect and take advantage of these patents, effective with the
year ended July 31, 1992, all unamortized patent costs were fully
amortized. All patent maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
Patents were issued on July 21, 1987 and July 5, 1988. During the
year ended July 31, 1997 the cost to maintain these patents and
record them in foreign countries was $2,463 which was recorded as
patent fees expense.

D. Income Taxes
The Company and it's wholly owned subsidiaries file a consolidated
federal income tax return. Due to the Company's net operating losses
there is no provision for federal income taxes in these financial
statements.
Tax credits will be reflected in the income statement under the
flow-through method as a deduction of income taxes in the year in
which they are used. At July 31, 1997, the Company's carryforwards
are as follows:
Net Operating Loss General
Year of ----------------------- Net Capital
Expiration Book Tax Loss Business Credits
---------- ------ ------- -------- ----------------
2001 -0- -0- -0- 11,763
2002 324,164 328,407 -0- 18,390
2003 329,338 223,481 -0- -0-
2004 66,722 110,507 -0- -0-
2005 155,215 143,453 -0- -0-

2011 63,576 63,576 -0- -0-
2012 48,566 48,566 -0- -0-
The primary difference between the book and tax net operating loss
carryforwards result from differences in depreciation and
amortization methods and the treatment of unrealized loss of market
value of certain investments.
E. Net Loss Per Common Share
The net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
All "cheap stock" issued prior to the public offering is included in
the computation as if it were outstanding from inception.
