NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT STAGE ACTIVITIES AND CORPORATE HISTORY:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We develop, market, sell and operate a personal property marking and
monitoring system. Our technology utilizes advanced bar code and laser scanning
technology that interfaces with a computer database and scanning network to
create an identification system.
Our current business began in July 1994 through a reorganization in which
we acquired all of the issued and outstanding voting shares of Tracker Canada in
exchange for approximately 90% of our total voting shares as of that date. Our
predecessor was incorporated as a Utah corporation in 1986, and changed its
state of incorporation to Nevada in 1992 and Delaware in 1994 through change in
domicile mergers. Concurrent with the effective date of the reorganization, the
Company changed its year-end from December 31 to March 31.
On July 28, 1998, we settled a lawsuit with the FTC that alleged we
violated Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and the FTC Trade
Regulator Telemarketing Sales Rule. Following initiation of the lawsuit, four
of our five members on the board of directors and our Chief Financial Officer
resigned. The settlement, among other things, permanently barred us, and our
current Chief Executive Officer from engaging directly or indirectly, in the
business of credit card registration or promotion.
The FTC lawsuit and the cessation of the credit card registration service
resulted in the insolvency and dissolution of Tracker Canada. The liquidation
and dissolution occurred in February 1998. On February 10, 1998, Global Tracker
acquired substantially all of Tracker Canada's assets in an arm's length
transaction from the bankruptcy trustee. On July 30, 1998 we entered into a
license agreement with Global Tracker. Under the agreement, we have an
exclusive worldwide license to commercially exploit the technology formerly
owned by Tracker Canada.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN:
---------------------------
We have been in a development stage since inception on May 6, 1993. The
likelihood that we will attain profitability depends on many factors, including
our ability to obtain adequate financing and generate sufficient revenues.
Management is currently working to secure adequate capital through the private
placement of securities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. However,
the reports of our former independent accountant as of and for the year ended
March 31, 1997, and our current independent accountant as of and for each of the
years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, express substantial doubt as to our ability
to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
----------------------------------------------
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying financial statements include our accounts and those of our
former wholly owned subsidiary, Tracker Canada, through its date of dissolution
on January 27, 1998. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
DEVELOPMENT COSTS
We expense development costs as incurred.
<PAGE>
DEFERRED CHARGES
Deferred charges relate primarily to unamortized commissions, net of a 30%
cancellation reserve and other costs of sales. The other costs include:
- cost of goods sold
- sales commissions
- telemarketing costs amortized on a straight-line basis over the term
of the related agreement
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUE
We recognize revenue for our services on a straight-line basis over the
term the services are offered. It is shown net of sales discounts and
allowances. We record amounts received for services not yet provided as
deferred revenue. The average length of the services agreement varies from
monthly to a five-year period.
STOCK-BASES COMPENSATION
We elected to follow fair value accounting allowed by SFAS No. 123 in
accounting for our employee stock options.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The assets and liabilities of Tracker Canada are translated at the fiscal
year or period end exchange rate. Revenues, expenses and cash flows are
translated at average rates in effect for the period.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options,
warrants, and convertible securities. We compute basic earnings per share using
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We
compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted-average number of common
and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. We exclude
common equivalent shares from the computation if their affect is antidilutive.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
As of April 1, 1998 we adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. The only
item of comprehensive income (loss) that we currently report is unrealized gain
on foreign currency translation adjustments.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for
inventory obsolescence, depreciation and amortization, taxes, and contingencies.
<PAGE>
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. This requires all costs related to the
development of internal use software other than those incurred during the
application development stage to be expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during
the application development stage are required to be capitalized and amortized
over the estimated useful life of the software. Adoption is not expected to
have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements as our policies
are already substantially in compliance.
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued SOP 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities. This requires
costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred.
Adoption is not expected to have material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative
instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in
the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or
other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designed as
part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. We do
not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements because we do not currently hold any
derivative instruments.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS:
------------------------
LEASES
We leased space in Smyrna, Georgia for a three (3) year term commencing May
15, 1997. On November 1, 1997, we discontinued occupancy of the leased premises
and defaulted under the terms of the lease. The lease requires payment of an
annual base rent of $41,772. At March 31, 1999, we had a final settlement
payment obligation in the amount of $10,000, which we include in other accrued
liabilities.
Rental expense for the year ended March 31, 1999 amounted to $ 64,132 and
$120,196 for the year ended March 31, 1998.
<PAGE>
MARKETING AGREEMENT
On March 15, 1995, we entered into an agreement with The L.L. Knickerbocker
Company, Inc., of California, which provided for a television and radio
marketing campaign to be initially launched in the California marketplace. As
compensation for services to be performed by Knickerbocker, we paid
Knickerbocker a fee of $212,975 and issued 800,000 restricted common shares,
valued at $2.50 per share based on the trading price of our shares on the date
of the agreement. On December 11, 1996, we ended our relationship with
Knickerbocker and received 400,000 of the 800,000 restricted common shares back
from Knickerbocker. These shares were immediately cancelled in treasury.
THE IACP ENDORSEMENT
We entered into an agreement with the International Association of Chiefs
of Police in February 1996 that ran through February 1999. Under the agreement,
we agreed to pay IACP, on a quarterly basis in arrears, the greater of $100,000
per year or a fee based on the total number of our subscribers. At March 31,
1999, we defaulted in the payment obligations under the agreement. According to
the cancellation terms under the contract, we owe the IACP $120,316.67. This
amount is included in part in Accounts payable and in part in other accrued
liabilities.
NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
------------------------------------------
Prior to the date of incorporation on May 6, 1993, the founder and other
key members of management received 5,089,286 exchangeable preference shares in
consideration for the assignment of international patents covering the Tracker
Canada system and as inducements to join Tracker, respectively. No value has
been assigned to these shares.
We retain certain key management personnel under contract. Included in
expenses are consulting and management fees paid under the aforementioned
contracts totaling, in the aggregate, $300,000 for the year ended March 31, 1999
and $175,000 for the year ended March 31, 1998.
Finders fees amounting to Nil for years ended March 31, 1999 and March 31,
1998 and $25,870 for the year ended March 31, 1997 paid to related parties in
connection with our private equity placement are included as a reduction in
paid-in capital.
Our President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer is the
sole shareholder of Global Tracker Corporation. Global Tracker acquired Tracker
Canada's assets at arms' length in an insolvency proceeding. Global Tracker
leases all of such assets to us.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
GENERAL
We have been in the development stage since formation. We primarily
market, sell and operate a personal property marking and monitoring system. Our
system utilizes advanced bar code and laser scanning technology to create an
identification device that interfaces with a computer database and scanning
network.
We have not generated any significant revenue since we cancelled our credit
card registration program in September 1997. Our ability to generate revenue
from operations and achieve profitability is largely dependent on the
successful commercialization of our products and services. This has not
happened to date. In order to achieve success, we will require significant
additional financing to penetrate new markets for our products and services.
For these reasons, in its most recent report our independent auditor has
Expressed substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern.
We believe the societal trend towards using the internet for purchasing
goods and services will have a positive effect on our future financial results
through enhanced sales and a reduction in costs. We are currently upgrading our
website to enable e-commerce applications for the sale of our products and
services. The website will also enable existing customers to upgrade our
applications. We hope to reduce costs through the introduction of web-based
activation of our tags and labels by end users and resellers. Currently, the
tags and labels must be activated by either mail or telephone.
We are presently focusing our resources on the research and development of
our products and services rather than sales. The associated costs may have a
detrimental effect on our short-term financial results and cash flow. However,
these costs are necessary to our becoming commercially viable.
Given our focus on development rather than sales, we have no source of
current income. Although our agreements with Schwinn, Warrantech and Sony may
prove fruitful in the future, we are not currently generating any income from
them. Similarly, we are not generating any income from the Florida Police
Chiefs. In order to complete the agreement with the Florida Police Chiefs, we
need to resolve an outstanding contract issue with the International Association
of Chiefs of Police no later than March 31, 2000. Furthermore, our future
success is largely dependent on the retention of Symbol Technologies as our
supplier of portable bar-code scanning equipment. Because we have not satisfied
Symbol's minimum annual purchase requirements to date, we cannot guarantee
Symbol will support our sales effort in accordance with our agreement.
OVERVIEW
TREATMENT OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Our profit and loss from discontinued operations appears as a single line
item in our statement of operations as required by generally accepted accounting
principals. The balance of deferred revenue and expenses from our discontinued
operations appearing on our balance sheet will be written off over the next two
years and will continue to appear as a single line item on our statement of
operations. Their impact on our overall financial performance is not material
to our present and future financial performance. As such, we limit our
discussion in this section to only continuing operations.
<PAGE>
REVENUES
Since the discontinuation of the credit card registration program in
September 1997 our only source of revenue has been from our personal property
registration program and our nascent business information systems program. We
have generated minimal sales to date. The revenue reported on our financial
statements is mainly derived from the sale of our personal property registration
kits through a variety of retail outlets and corporate affinity programs.
COST OF SALES
The costs of sales primarily consists of costs associated with the
construction and packaging of the personal property registration kits.
OPERATIONAL
Operational costs contain wages paid to staff employees to maintain call
centers servicing our current customer base. This includes subscribers to our
personal property registration kit as well as residual clients from our
discontinued credit card registration program.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The costs associated with information systems primarily relate to our
efforts to maintain and update our operational systems to be year 2000
compliant.
SALES AND MARKETING
We sell our personal property registration kit primarily through our direct
sales forces. Selling and marketing expenses consist mostly of personnel costs,
travel and promotional events such as trade shows, advertising and public
relations programs.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses include executive compensation, legal
and accounting fees, and administrative costs associated with our facilities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
REVENUES. Revenues from our personal property registration kits decreased
by 99% to $176 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $20,117
for the three months ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in revenues was
primarily due to our total shift in emphasis from sales of personal property
registration kits to the development of new products and services.
COSTS OF SALES. Costs of sales decreased by 99% to $102 for the three
months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $7,798 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998. The decrease occurred due to the substantially complete
absence of any sales.
OPERATIONAL. Operational costs increased by 67% to $72,257 for the three
months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $43,194 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998. This increase reflects our efforts to build an
infrastructure to support our development and roll out of new products and
services.
<PAGE>
INFORMATION SYSTEMS. Information systems costs increased by 461% to
$21,671 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $3,860 for the
three months ended December 31, 1998. The increase resulted from the continuing
necessity to have our computer systems year 2000 compliant.
SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 146% to
$99,236 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $40,348 for
the three months ended December 31, 1998. This increase in sales and marketing
expenses reflects the increase in costs associated with the development of new
marketing ideas. Until we find a significant market niche for our products and
services, we expect these expenses to continue to grow if our cash flow
allows it.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased
by 182% to $122,976 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to
$43,554 for the three months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in general
and administrative expenses primarily resulted from the necessity to build an
infrastructure to support our development of new products and services.
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1998
REVENUES. Revenues from our personal property registration kits decreased
by 52% to $55,061 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared to
$113,630 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in
revenues was primarily due to our shift in emphasis from sales of personal
property registration kits to the development of new products and services.
COSTS OF SALES. Costs of sales decreased by 91% to $5,563 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $59,222 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998. The decrease occurred because the majority of our sales for
the 1999 period primarily related to software for business information
solutions. The construction and packaging costs for software sales are
significantly less than the personal property registration kits.
OPERATIONAL. Operational costs increased by 29% to $197,833 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $153,455 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998. This slight increase reflects our efforts to build an
infrastructure to support our development and roll out of new products and
services.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS. Information systems costs increased by 417% to
$66,027 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $12,765 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase resulted from the continuing
necessity to have our computer systems year 2000 compliant.
SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 79% to
$180,774 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $100,777 for
the nine months ended December 31, 1998. This increase in sales and marketing
expenses reflects the increase in costs associated with the development of new
marketing ideas. Until we find a significant market niche for our products and
services, we expect these expenses to continue to grow if our cash flow
allows it.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased
by 64% to $293,320 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared to
$179,241 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in general
and administrative expenses primarily resulted from the necessity to build an
infrastructure to support our development of new products and services.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From our inception, we have primarily financed our operations through funds
generated from the sale of capital stock, notes and debentures. Our losses
since inception total approximately $18,383,541 as of December 31, 1999. Since
August 1999, we have received approximately $1,400,000 in venture capital
August 1999, we have received approximately $1,400,000 in venture capital
funding from off shore investors through the issuance of convertible bridge
financing notes <<in the amount of $1,700,000>> and associated warrants.
We have used these funds primarily to fund the development of our new products
and services. We plan to immediately convert these notes into common stock
upon the registration of the underlying common stock to the notes and warrants.
Thereafter, we may call, and the security holders may exercise, the outstanding
warrants. We estimate that we could receive up to an additional $1,500,000
through the exercise of the warrants over the next twelve months.
As of December 31, 1999, we are in default under the terms of our
convertible debentures in the principal amount of $475,790 plus accrued interest
at 15% per annum. Based on preliminary negotiations, we believe that some of
the debenture holders are still inclined to convert the outstanding debt into
common stock. We estimate the balance will be retired over the next twenty-four
months.
We are in default under a three-year real property lease that commenced on
May 15, 1997. The lease requires an annual payment of $41,772. Because the
landlord retained all of our office equipment after we vacated the premises, we
believe that any possible remaining indebtedness is not material. We are also
in default on our agreement with the International Association of Chiefs of
Police in the amount of $120,000. We plan to retire this debt no later than
March 31, 2000.
Our operating activities have used cash in each of the last two fiscal
years. Cash used in operating activities totaled $569,348 and $502,682 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net losses were
$630,504 and $18,036 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Cash used in investing activities was $NIL and $285,588 for the nine months
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The cash used in investing
activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 was primarily used to
purchase computer systems and software for internal development used to support
our credit card registration program. It was also used to purchase furniture
and equipment to accommodate our sales force.
Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $1,452,318 and $(45,282)
for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During the
nine months ended December 31, 1999, we received $1,452,318 from the sale and
issuance of $1,700,000 in convertible bridge notes and related warrants.
During the nine months ended December 31, 1998, we received $45,282 from the
sale of common stock.
Our current cash projections indicate that our short-term annual funding
requirements will be approximately $1.5 million for the next twelve months. We
anticipate that future cash sales and equity or debt financing will cover our
long-term cash needs, but this might not occur. No assurance can be given that
the necessary funding will be available to us when needed, in sufficient
amounts, on acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to receive sufficient
funding could affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
We use various packaged software applications as tools in running our
accounting operations, database management and general business functions. We
use certain proprietary software programs as tools to run our technology and
have assessed the impact of year 2000 issues on all software and hardware. We
<PAGE>
determined that all existing hardware equipment is year 2000 compliant, except
for certain equipment that we plan to retire. We implemented software vender
upgrades and modifications to ensure that our accounting operations, database
management and general business systems remain functional with the year 2000.
Our proprietary software programs were developed on year 2000 compliant
platforms and we are not dependent on computer systems of any significant
customers, vendors or other third parties in the course of normal business.
We did not experience any disruptions due to year 2000 problems.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. This requires all costs related to the
development of internal use software other than those incurred during the
application development stage to be expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during
the application development stage are required to be capitalized and amortized
over the estimated useful life of the software. Adoption is not expected to have
a material effect on our consolidated financial statements since our policies
are substantially in compliance with this pronouncement.
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities. This requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to
be expensed as incurred. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on
our consolidated financial statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999 and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on
the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives
are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income.
This depends on whether a derivative is designed as part of a hedge transaction
and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. We do not expect this standard to
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements since we do not
currently hold any derivative instruments.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report on contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act

- technological obsolescence
- dependence on our technology and the uncertainty of its market
acceptance
- history of operating losses and expectation of future losses
- limited sales and marketing experience
- heightened competition
- lack of manufacturing capability and dependence on contract
manufacturers and suppliers
<PAGE>
- dependence on proprietary technology, including the adequacy of patent
and trade secret protection
- retention of key personnel and recruitment of additional qualified
skilled personnel
- the failure to raise additional funds.

forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and may not reflect
events or circumstances that occur thereafter. Carefully review and consider
