PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
Business Development
The Registrant (the ``Company'') was incorporated in the State
of New York in 1980.
Effective November 15, 1993, the Company acquired a 75% equity
interest in New Paradigm Software Corporation (``NPSC'').
Subsequently, the Company's equity interest was reduced to 61%
and its voting rights to 17.5% at April 30, 1995 due to other
equity issuances by NPSC. NPSC develops and markets a software
product that allows different applications running on different
hardware and software platforms to share data.
On July 13, 1994, the Company acquired four companies from
Winter Partners Holding A.G., Switzerland: Winter Partners
Limited, a United Kingdom company with offices in London,
England, Winter Partners, Inc., a United States company with
offices in New York, New York, Winter Partners (Pte) Limited, a
Singapore company with offices in Singapore and Winter Partners
(HK) Limited, a Hong Kong company with offices in Hong Kong
(collectively, the ``Winter Partners subsidiaries ''). Winter
Partners, Inc., Winter Partners (PTE) Limited, and Winter
Partners (HK) Limited, were subsequently renamed MTi Abraxsys
Systems, Inc., MTi Abraxsys (Pte) Limited and MTi Abraxsys
Systems (HK) Limited, respectively. The Winter Partners
subsidiaries, as renamed, are referred to as the ``Abraxsys
division''
4
In addition, all shares issued and outstanding of Winter
Partners Information Technology (UK) Limited, a dormant wholly
owned subsidiary of Winter Partners Limited at the acquisition
of the Winter Partners subsidiaries, were transferred from
Winter Partners Limited to the Company. Winter Partners
Information Technology (UK) Limited was subsequently renamed MTi
Holdings (UK) Limited (``MTi Holdings'').
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company and MTi Holdings acquired
all the issued and outstanding shares in Digital Equipment
Service Industries Solutions Company (``DESISCo'' subsequently
renamed MTi Trading Systems Limited (``MTi Trading ''), from
Digital Equipment International Limited, Digital Equipment
International bv, Digital Equipment (Holdings) bv, and Digital
Equipment Co. Ltd. MTi Trading is referred to as the
``OpenTrade division''.
The Company's other wholly owned subsidiaries in the United
Kingdom, New York, Massachusetts, Canada and Australia are
currently inactive.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 630
Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017. The telephone number is
(212) 983 5620. Unless the context otherwise requires,
references to the Company include its subsidiaries. The NPSC
affiliate is accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
The Company develops, markets, licenses, installs, maintains and
supports software products catering to the needs of
international banks and financial institutions.
5
The Company's principal products are Abraxsys, IBS-90 and the
OpenTrade family of products. Abraxsys and IBS-90 are back
office international banking software products running on mid
range computer systems. Abraxsys and IBS-90 are installed at
approximately 75 locations in over 30 countries. The OpenTrade
family of products comprises OpenTrade and TradeWizard.
OpenTrade is used by 50 customers supporting 6,000 trading
positions. The Company also markets and licenses a line of
integrated software packages for financial institutions known as
ManTec through an agent, Global Financial Systems Limited
(``GFS''). The Company no longer directly supports its ManTec
product line. GFS provides support to certain clients. The
ManTec product line runs on IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe
computers.
Business of the Registrant
Product and Services:
---------------------
IBS-90
IBS-90 is a comprehensive suite of computer programs designed to
support the back office activities of banks. The product
provides transaction processing support for a bank's foreign
exchange and money market business, including various off-
balance sheet instruments such as Forward Rate Agreements,
Interest Rate Swaps, and Repurchase Agreements; various lending
activities including Commercial, Syndications, Participations
and Mortgages; trade finance business, retail or Demand Deposit
6
Accounting business; funds transfer activities and general
ledger and other accounting support.
IBS-90 was a fully developed product of the Winter Partners
subsidiaries at the time of their acquisition by the Company.
It was accounted for as acquired software technology and is
being amortized over the estimated 10 year life of the product.
The product offers multi-lingual support, multi-branch and
multi-currency processing, right down to profit center level.
In addition, the product offers some front office support to
various functional areas in a bank, the most important of which
is teller/cashier support.
IBS-90 reflects some 20 years of an evolutionary development and
previous versions have been marketed under the name of IBS
(International Banking System), and ABS (Arbat Banking System).
The product is written in the AIMS computer language, a
derivative of the widely accepted BASIC language. The product
will run on any model of Digital Equipment Corporation's VAX
computer processors, running under the control of Digital's
proprietary operating system VMS.
IBS-90 was first marketed late in 1989, and to date has been
licensed to approximately 50 banks.
From the date of the Winter Partners acquisition through 30th
April, 1995, the Company has entered in 7 new license
agreements.
Abraxsys
7
Abraxsys is a complete redevelopment of IBS-90 and is now
marketed as MTI's prime offering to banks to computerize bank's
back offices. Abraxsys was a software product in development by
the Winter Partners subsidiaries at the time of their
acquisition by the Company. It had not reached the
technological feasibility stage at the time of acquisition and
was, therefore, treated as acquired research and development,
and the associated costs were expensed during the year ended
April 30, 1995.
Abraxsys comprises essentially the same functions as IBS-90 but
with many enhancements, particularly in the processing support
offered to a banks trade finance department.
However, the most significant difference between IBS-90 and
Abraxsys is that Abraxsys is written in the industry standard
'C' language and runs on a variety of hardware platforms and
operating systems, the most significant of which is UNIX. This
means that Abraxsys can meet the market demand for so-called
open systems, which is not true of IBS-90.
Development of Abraxsys commenced in 1990 and to date over 100
man years of effort have been involved in the development.
A treasury subset of the product was first announced in
September 1993, and the full product availability was announced
in October 1994. To date approximately 9 Abraxsys systems have
been licensed, of which seven were signed in the year ended
April 30, 1995.
OpenTrade
8
The OpenTrade Platform provides for the management, distribution
and integration of information to a wide range of users in
financial institutions. Predominantly used as an integration
platform for applications requiring access to real-time
financial information from a variety of sources, OpenTrade
offers an open, application programming interface (API) that
conforms to relevant industry standards. In addition, OpenTrade
also supports Microsoft's Windows Open System Architecture
Extensions for Real Time (WOSA/XRT) which is steadily becoming
an industry standard for the integration of real-time
information into Microsoft Windows based applications. The
component based architecture of OpenTrade supports a wide range
of application communication services including: real-time,
transactional, messaging or query oriented, thus ensuring that
information and applications of all types throughout an
organization can be integrated in an effective manner.
OpenTrade was a fully developed product of DESISCo at the time
of its acquisition by the Company. It was accounted for as
acquired software technology and is, therefore, being amortized
over the estimated 10 year life of the product.
Equally at home in a Local or Wide Area Network (LAN or WAN)
OpenTrade offers users a high performance, fault tolerant
platform for information and application integration. System
Management features provide controls on access to and use of
information resources and extensive real-time and paper-based
9
reporting facilities enable managers to audit system, and data
usage.
Continuously developed since 1979, OpenTrade is currently in use
at over 50 sites worldwide supporting some 6000 traders.
TradeWizard
Developed as a native 32-bit application on Microsoft's Windows
NT and using object oriented technologies, Object Linking and
Embedding (OLE), TradeWizard is an advanced application for the
integration of information and applications at the user's
desktop. Whether the information is real-time, supplied by the
traditional information providers, is multimedia based and
sourced from other external organizations, or is in a
documentary format from within the organization itself, users
can easily display and manipulate the information in support of
effective business solution making.
Designed to assist users in managing the information overload,
TradeWizard is user configurable. Individual users can tailor
the display to their specific job function and personal
preferences. Able to display and manipulate information from a
wide variety of sources, TradeWizard is an information
integration workstation offering users access to real-time
digital and video based data, TV and audio news services, video
conferencing, fax and mail services.
TradeWizzard was a software product in development by DESISCo at
the time of its acquisition by the Company. It had not reached
the technological feasibility stage at the time of acquisition
10
and was, therefore, treated as acquired research and
development, and the associated costs were expensed during the
year ended April 30, 1995.
First introduced early in 1995 TradeWizard is achieving
widespread acceptance in the OpenTrade user community with some
500+ positions already installed.
TradeWizard is written in C++ and is available on Microsoft
Windows 95, Windows NT and all major UNIX operating system
platforms.
ManTec
ManTec is a suite of computer programs designed to support the
back office functions of banks. It addresses substantially the
same areas of functions as IBS-90 Abraxsys. The major
difference with ManTec is that it is designed to run exclusively
on IBM and IBM-compatible mainframes. The popularity of
mainframes in the Company's target markets has declined rapidly
over the last few years.
The Company decided in July 1994 following the acquisition of
the IBS-90 and Abraxsys products, to discontinue directly
selling and servicing the ManTec product line. This decision
was based on the view that the market for 'open' systems such as
Abraxsys was much larger and expanding versus the contracting
market for mainframe systems.
However, in recognition that a small market exists for the
ManTec product it was decided to allow an agent, Global
Financial Systems Ltd. (GFS) based in London, England to
11
continue to sell the ManTec product line. The Company shares in
any license fees GFS may generate through the ManTec line.
In the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, no new ManTec licenses
were sold.
The Company's revenues from transactions in which GFS acted as a
distributor for the Company were $977,000 and $0 for fiscal 1994
and 1995, respectively.
Markets
-------
The Company markets its products to the international banking
area of domestic and foreign banks. In the United States, the
Company believes there are approximately 850 banks engaged in
international banking activities of sufficient size to require,
at least some of the components of the Company's products. In
Europe, the Middle East and the Far East, the Company believes
there are in excess of 3,000 banking offices which form the
primary market for the Company's software products.
Data processing has become increasingly important to
international banking activities. Management believes that the
market potential for more sophisticated software systems has
increased as a result of declining computer hardware prices, the
high cost of staff and the increasing need to process
transactions promptly so as to be able to adequately assess and
control different types of risks. At the same time, management
believes that it has become increasingly more difficult for
users to internally develop the software necessary for their
data processing requirements because of the substantial expense
12
and commitment of personnel and other resources necessary to
design and maintain such software programs.
Distribution Methods of the Products and Services
-------------------------------------------------
The Company has narrowed its focus to specific geographic areas
in which relatively greater interest has been expressed in
particular products (although there can be no assurance that
such focus will translate into sales). The areas the Company is
focusing upon include Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Far
East and North America.
The Company primarily relies upon its own direct sales force to
achieve sales. In certain niche markets, the Company has sales
agents and/or support agents. Included among these are GFS for
the ManTec product, COMAS in Korea for Abraxsys, Systex
Corporation in Taiwan for Abraxsys and Idom for the support of
IBS-90 in Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic.
The Company expects to appoint a number of additional
distributors for its OpenTrade and TradeWizzard products,
primarily to increase sales penetration in certain countries in
Western Europe.
Sources of Revenue
------------------
Software Licensing
The Company generally licenses software products to its
customers for use under non-exclusive, 5 to 25 year license
agreements. Pursuant to the Company's standard form of license
agreement, the customer pays a fixed license fee which varies
13
depending on the number of users licensed to access the
software, and acquires the non-transferable and non-exclusive
right to use the software at a designated site. If the customer
desires to use the software at multiple locations or to add
further users additional license fees are required. The one-
time license fees for the Company's application software
packages currently range from $100,000 to $2,000,000 per site.
The Company is dependent for license revenues upon sales of the
IBS-90, Abraxsys, Open Trade, TradeWizard and ManTec product
lines.
Maintenance
As part of the fixed license fee for the Company's software
products, customers receive, a warranty period of typically 90
days after installation, during which period the Company
provides free maintenance services. After that period, the
Company offers maintenance services to its customers based upon
an annual fee reflecting the service provided by the Company.
Maintenance fee revenues are recognized on an incremental basis
over the period of the contract. The Company warrants that its
software will conform with documented specifications. To date,
warranty expense has been minimal.
The Company's maintenance agreements generally provide for the
maintenance by MTI of MTI licensed software at a specified site
for a period of one to three years. Under the maintenance
agreements, MTI is required to correct or replace its licensed
14
software and/or provide services necessary to remedy significant
programming errors attributable to it. Fees for a single site
maintenance agreements may range from approximately $30,000 to
$400,000 annually, depending upon the number of licensed users.
The Abraxsys division has 60 maintenance agreements in force.
MTi Trading Systems has 75 Maintenance Agreements in force.
Customer Services
The company provides support services relating to the custom
design and production of modifications to software products to
meet the specific needs of a customer. In addition, the Company
offers a full range of customer support services, including
project planning and management, system installation, software
implementation, user training/education, technical support and
documentation and on-site engineering. The Company charges
customers for these services with the exception of
documentation. Customer services fees are recognized as revenue
as work is performed and invoiced by the Company.
Third Party Products
The Company also derives revenues from selling other companies'
products. Such arrangements include sales of both hardware and
software.
a) Hardware
--------
The Company acts as an Agent for Digital Equipment Corporation
and on some IBS-90, Abraxsys and OpenTrade deals will sell
computer equipment as an Agent to the end user. In the year
15
ended April 30, 1995, the company recognized $167,000 of
revenues for sales of hardware, associated with sales of IBS-90.
The Company is also a Sun Authorized Reseller, representing Sun
Microsystems. In addition the Company is also an Authorized
Reseller for IBM. In the period under review, the Company
recognized no revenue in respect of its Agreements with Sun and
IBM.
b) Software Products:
-----------------
i) Monarque: the Company represents Treasury Management
Systems, Inc. (``TMS'') in the sales of TMS' Monarque product.
Monarque is complementary to IBS-90 and Abraxsys, supporting
front-end dealing functions within a bank's treasury operation.
In the year ended April 30, 1995, the Company recognized $20,000
net revenue from its arrangement with TMS.
ii) Synergy: MTi Trading Systems is an Authorized Reseller
for Synergy's range of technical analysis and charting products.
These products complement the TradeWizard information
integration workstation by providing specialist tools for the
analysis and manipulation of real-time information. Since
inception (1992) some 1600 licenses have been sold by MTi
Trading Systems.
iii) Applix: MTi Trading Systems is an authorized Reseller
for the Applix spreadsheet. The Applix spreadsheet is fast
becoming the de facto standard for arithmetic modeling and
"what-if" analysis in UNIX based trading rooms and the financial
16
sector as a whole. Since inception, January 1995, 65 licenses
have been sold.
Competition
-----------
The financial institutions software industry is highly
competitive. The Company believes that the principal factors
affecting the marketing of software packages are product
availability, advanced technology, comprehensiveness of product
applications, flexibility, ease-of-use to meet customer needs,
software enhancements, maintenance, customer support, training,
documentation, efficient use of computer hardware and customer
references. Price is a primary consideration to penetrate
certain market segments, particularly smaller banks where
automation may be postponed if its cost is deemed prohibitive.
The Company encounters its primary competition from other
software vendors.
The Company competes with many companies which have greater
financial resources, more technical personnel and more extensive
service capabilities than the Company. The market is highly
fragmented; however, the Company views MISYS, Internet Systems
Corp. ("Internet") IBIS, Reuters and Micrognosis as its
principal industry competitors. The Company is also subject to
substantial competition from potential customers with existing
comprehensive applications software packages for international
banking insofar as such companies might elect to modify rather
than replace existing systems. The Company's ability to compete
successfully requires that it continues to develop and maintain
17
the necessary technical proficiency for easy assimilation of
future technological advances, that it continue to offer
marketable and reliable applications software programs which
satisfy the information management and competitive requirements
of banks and financial institutions, and that it provide
sufficient customer support and related services, as to any of
which there can be no assurance.
Dependence on few major Customers
---------------------------------
Digital Equipment Corporation owns several subsidiaries which
act as prime contractors to many of the Company's end customers.
The Company has no customers which in fiscal year ended April
30, 1995 contributed 10% or more of the Company's revenues. The
Company does not consider that it is dependent on any one
customer for its future business success.
During fiscal 1994, O.K.H.B., Depravna Bank, Banca Nazionale Del
Lavoro, Algemene Bank Nederland accounted for 32%, 11%, 15% and
11%, of the Company's revenues, respectively, representing an
aggregate of 69% of such revenues.
Foreign Operations
------------------
In the year ended April 30, 1995, the Company acquired operating
subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, in Singapore and in Hong
Kong. The Company had no material foreign operations in fiscal
1994.
Subsidiaries outside the United States account for 86% of the
Company's revenues in the year ended April 30, 1995.
18
Included in North America revenues for the years ended April 30,
1995 and 1994 were export revenues of $140,000 and $206,000,
respectively.
Research and Development
------------------------
The Company continues to be engaged in computer software
development and improvements of its existing software products.
The development of applications software packages for banks and
financial institutions is a continuous process. Technological
advances in computer hardware, systems software, industry
deregulation and other regulatory changes affecting banking
institutions require software modifications and result in more
complex and comprehensive processing needs. In the event the
Company fails to continue to update its product line, the
Company's products may become obsolete. The Company believes
that its principal products remain competitive. However, the
Company is continuing to engage in research and development
activities, principally, in the "open systems" area.
Accordingly, the Company is committed to retaining and
developing competitive product lines.
The Company does not have any material contracts relating to
third-party research and development.
Approximately 45% of the Company's staff, or some 90 people, are
engaged in developing products. Of these, nearly 50 are engaged
in developing OpenTrade and TradeWizard, which is essentially
funded by the Company. Some 25 people are engaged in developing
Abraxsys, again funded by the Company. Some 15 people at any
19
one time are engaged in developing enhancements to Abraxsys and
IBS-90, which are specifically ordered and funded by particular
customers. In the year ended April 30, 1995, research and
development expenses amounted to approximately $5,847,000.
There was no such cost in the year ended April 30, 1994.
Employees
---------
As of April 30, 1995 the Company had 195 salaried employees, as
compared with 27 employees as of April 30, 1994. The Company
increased its staff during the year ended April 30, 1995 as a
result of the acquisitions of the Winter Partners subsidiaries
and of the DESISCo subsidiary. The Company's employees are not
represented by any union or other collective bargaining unit.
The Company believes that it has a satisfactory relationship
with its employees.
Trademarks, Copyrights and Licenses
-----------------------------------
The Company does not own any patents, registered trademarks or
service marks or registered copyrights. The Company believes
that rapid technological advances in the computer software
industry make it impractical for the Company to obtain patent
protection and that it must rely principally upon innovative
software engineering skills and contractual safeguards. The
Company seeks to protect its proprietary software products
through restrictions in its license agreements which prohibit
resale, transfer, disclosure or reproduction of the software,
except for archival purposes or to provide back-up copies, and
20
which restrict the customer's use to designated sites. The
Company's software cannot be modified without the source code,
which the Company keeps secure. The Company also requires
employees to enter into non-disclosure agreements prior to
joining the Company. To date, the Company has not been required
to enforce the contractual safeguards relating to the use of its
software. The Company also retains exclusive ownership rights
to all software it develops. Pursuant to the indemnification
provisions of its license agreements, the Company agrees to
indemnify customers from losses resulting from any third-party
claims that the Company's software infringes upon proprietary
rights of such third-party. The amount of such indemnification
is generally limited to the amount of the license fee paid by
such customer. To date, there have been no such claims.
General
-------
The Company exited the year ended April 30, 1995 with a backlog
of orders in excess of $5,000,000, together with signed
maintenance contracts worth nearly $6,000,000 in revenues for
fiscal 1996. Its business is not seasonal, nor does the
Company do any business with the United States nor any other
Government.
21
Item 2. Description of Properties
The Company's principal executive offices are located at its 630
Third Avenue site in New York City. The Company leases
approximately 6,200 square feet of office space from a non-
affiliate company. The annual base rent is $191,075. The lease
expires on May 31, 2001.
In addition, the Company sublets approximately 15,300 square
feet of office space from a non-affiliated company at 335
Madison Avenue, New York, New York. The minimum annual base
rental is $290,700 under a sublease expiring December 31, 1996.
The Company's rent was abated during the first six months of the
sublease, i.e., through August 1993, and the Company also
received a $229,700 rebate from the sub lessor. In November of
1993, the Company entered into a lease modification agreement
for an additional 15,300 square feet to office space for an
additional $95,000 per annum. The Company, in turn, has
subleased this space to NPSC, an affiliated company. These
agreements are subject to approval from superior landlords,
which has not been granted. In November of 1994, the Company
subleased its original 15,300 square feet space at 335 Madison
Avenue to NPSC and Financial Performance Corp. (``PC''). The
Company does not occupy any of the space at Madison Avenue and
is finalizing the settlement agreement with MCI. The Company
and MCI have agreed, subject to the execution of a settlement
agreement, that the Company's obligations to MCI will be
satisfied in full by the payment of the sum of $300,000, of
22
which approximately $100,000 is posted security, and the balance
of $200,000 is to be payable over a six month period.
Pursuant to a certain agreement with Midland Associates, the
Company provides two offices free of charge to FPC, currently at
its Madison Avenue site. FPC has agreed that if it does not
accept two rent free offices at the Company's Third Avenue site,
that the Company will no longer be obligated to provide said
offices rent free.
In July 1992 the Company entered into a ten-year lease for space
to be used as its London sales office. Annual rent under the
lease is 25,400 British pounds or approximately $38,000.
Possession of this space returned to the landlord in the Fall of
1994.
By lease dated September 9, 1987, Winter Partners Limited leased
office space from a non-affiliated company at the Hop Exchange,
24a Southwark Street, London, England. Annual rent is 216,450
British pounds or approximately $347,000. The lease expires
December 1997.
By lease dated August 30, 1994, Winter Partners Pte Ltd leased
office space from a non-affiliate company for a minimum annual
consideration of 240,900 Singapore dollars or approximately
$169,000. The lease expires August 31, 1997.
By License Agreement (the ``License'') dated December 22, 1994,
MTi Holdings leased office space at Harefield Place, Uxbridge,
West London, England for an annual consideration of 449,040
23
British pounds, or approximately $719,000. The lease expires on
December 31, 1996.
24
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
1. Matter involving Barrington Fludgate v. MTI
Barrington J. Fludgate ("Fludgate"), a former Officer and
Director of the Company, commenced an action in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York against the
Company, claiming the Company violated certain ERISA laws, in
addition to damages claimed by Mr. Fludgate as a result of
breach of his Employment Contract with MTI. The Company moved
to dismiss the action on jurisdictional grounds and was
successful in its motion to dismiss. Fludgate had claimed the
sum of $1,900,000 in damages, in addition to other unspecific
damages and legal fees.
As a result of the dismissal by the Court, Fludgate cannot
proceed in the District Court. On July 26, 1995, Fludgate
commenced an action in the New York State Supreme Court, New
York County, claiming breach of contact in violation of New York
State Labor Law. The action claims damages in the sum of
$3,500,000 and additional unspecified damages. The Company has
not as yet interposed an answer to the complaint, as the time to
answer is August 15, 1995. The Company believes it has both
technical and substantive meritorious defenses to the claim.
2. Claim of Registration Rights for Unit Holders of the
Company
The Company completed a Private Placement of units consisting of
one (1) share of Common Stock and three (3) Class "C" Warrants
to purchase three (3) shares of Common Stock at $1.19 per share,
25
on a pre-split basis, in 1993 and 1994. The Private Placement
terms involved registration rights to the Unit Holders which
further provided for the Company to use its best efforts to
register the shares and the additional shares underlying the
Class "C" Warrants for Unit Holders. The Company filed a Form
S-3 Registration Statement for the underlying shares and was
compelled to withdraw the Registration Statement in April 1995
with the understanding that it would refile a new registration
for Unit Holders within a reasonable time. A number of Unit
Holders have made claims against the Company, alleging that the
Company agreed to afford Unit Holders options to purchase shares
of Common Stock at a below market price as a form of
compensation to Unit Holders for losses occurring as a result of
the Company's not proceeding with the Registration of their
shares.
The Company informed Unit Holders that it would commence action
to prepare and file a new form of registration of their shares;
however, to-date, the Company has not filed or prepared to file
a Registration Statement, and a number of Unit Holders have
claimed damages. The Company is in the process of preparing and
proposing a plan to Unit Holders so as to avoid legal action by
Unit Holders against the Company.
3. Claim of Sharon F. Merrill (`Merrill'')
Merrill, a stockholder in the Company, received 250,000 shares
of restricted stock as a result of the acquisition of the shares
of MTi Merken, Inc. in 1992. In that regard, the Company agreed
26
to use its best efforts to register Ms. Merrill's shares within
180 days from the acquisition date. A claim has been made that
the Company has not used its best efforts and that Ms. Merrill
has sustained losses as a result of a decline in the price of
the stock of the Company and, resultantly, Ms. Merrill has
claimed a loss of $450,000. The Company's position is that it
has used its best efforts with respect to the registration of
the shares owned by Ms. Merrill and that it is not liable for
any losses claimed by Ms. Merrill.
The Company is not a party to any other material litigation.

Item 5. Market For Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters
The Company's Common Stock are traded in the over-the-counter
market under the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System (``NASDAQ'') symbols MTCI. The
Company's Class ``A'' Warrants and Class ``C'' Warrants expired
on January 31, 1994. The Class ``A''Warrants were traded in
the over the counter market under the NASDAQ symbol MTCW. The
Company's Class ``C'' Warrants and other warrants are not
publicly traded. Class ``C'' Warrants and other warrants are
described in Item 7, Note 15.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of and Results of
Operations Financial Condition
Results of Operations
General
The Company's revenue consists of license fees from the
Company's software products, which include agency commissions,
maintenance fees and customer service fees.
The Company recognizes revenue for licensing of its IBS-90 and
Abraxsys products according to the standards set in Statement of
Position 91-1 (`SOP-91-1''), and it is therefore recognizing
license fees as revenues upon delivery, provided that no
significant vendor obligations remain and collection of the
resulting receivable is deemed probable. The Company's
contracts with its customers provide for payment to be made on
specified schedules that may differ from the timing by which
revenue is recognized. Billings made in advance of delivery are
recorded as deferred income. The amount by which recognized
revenue exceeds billings to customer is shown as unbilled
accounts receivable. Revenues from licensing the OpenTrade
product are recognized on the percentage of completion method of
accounting as costs are incurred in conformity to the standard
set out in Statement of Position 81-1 (`SOP 81-1'')
The Company's IBS-90 licenses with its customers typically
provide for payments to be made pursuant to specified schedules,
certain of which payments are generally received prior to
delivery to the customer. Such payments prior to delivery are
32
not recognized by the Company as revenue, but are reflected as
deferred income on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Maintenance fee revenues are recognized proportionately over the
period of the contract; the unrecognizable portion is recorded
as deferred income. There was deferred income of $3,548,000 as
of April 30, 1995 and $309,000 as of April 30, 1994. There was
no non-current deferred income as of April 30, 1995.
Customer service fees are recognized as revenue as work is
performed under the service arrangement.
The Company's revenues and results of operations are subject to
significant fluctuations, depending primarily on the number of
software components delivered in any period. License fees range
from $100,000 to $2,000,000 on a per-site basis. As is typical
in the software industry, maintenance fees are a more stable
source of revenue.
Effective April 30, 1994, and in anticipation of the acquisition
of the Winter Partners subsidiaries, the Company decided to
write down all remaining capitalized software development costs
of approximately $2,893,000 related to then existing products.
The write down was taken to reflect the declining market place
for mainframe based systems.
Starting with the year ended April 30, 1995, costs of software
products consist of the cost of third party products resold with
the Company's products and the amortization of acquired software
technology. Other costs of software products, such as the
costs of duplicating products from product masters and physical
33
packaging of the Company's software, are immaterial. In fiscal
1994, costs of software products consisted of the planned
amortization of capitalized software. The costs of providing
maintenance and customer service are allocated between
maintenance and customer service fees in proportion to their
respective revenues. Management believes that such allocations
are reasonable.
The Company has additionally undertaken substantial
restructuring in connection with the Winter Partners and
DESISCo acquisitions, including a reduction in personnel and
associated costs. A provision for severance payments of
$760,000 has been provided for in the year ended April 30, 1995.
Effective November 15, 1993, the Company acquired 75% of NPSC in
transactions resulting in an investment of approximately
$1,000,000 in cash and other consideration for 1,650,000 shares
of common stock and 200,000 warrants to purchase one share of
common stock at $6.00 until September 28, 1998.
NPSC is engaged in the development, marketing, licensing and
support of Copernicus (TM), a software product that allows
different applications that run on different hardware platforms
to share data. As of April 30, 1995 the company maintained a
61% ownership of, and a 17.6% voting right in, NPSC and
accounted for this ownership under equity accounting
conventions. The Company has written down its investment in
NPSC to zero, effective July 31, 1994 and has no further
financial obligations to NPSC.
34
The Company incurred a net loss of $12,687,000 in the year ended
April 30, 1995. At April 30, 1995 the Company had a working
capital deficiency of $9,006,000. The Company believes that
there is continued interest in the existing products and
products in process acquired with the Winter Partners and
DESISCo acquisitions in the marketplace and that these
acquisitions will ultimately enhance its software license and
associated maintenance and service revenues, although no
assurance can be given that this will be the case. Historical
revenues of the Winter Partners subsidiaries were approximately
$10,775,000 and $7,855,000 for the twelve months ended April 30,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Historical revenues of DESISCo
were 13,228,000 pounds sterling and 14,412,000 pounds sterling,
or approximately $20,807,644 and $21,769,326 for the years ended
June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company continues to seek other consulting relationships and
business collaborations with third parties in order to enhance
revenues. In particular, the Company is focusing marketing
arrangements with hardware vendors and/or joint marketing
arrangements with software vendors, whose products complement
those of the Company. If revenues from operations do not prove
to be sufficient to fund operations of the Company or to permit
its continuance as a going concern, the Company will seek to
obtain funds in the manner described under ``Liquidity and
Capital Resources''below.
Comparison of Fiscal Years
35
During the fiscal years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994 the
company's total revenues were $18,687,000 and $2,320,000,
respectively. This increase in revenue is due to revenues from
sales of software products, which increased to $11,901,000 in
the year ended April 30, 1995 from $912,000 in fiscal 1994,
increased maintenance and customer service fees, which increased
to $4,556,000 and $2,230,000 in the year ended April 30, 1995
from $1,141,000 and $267,000 in the year ended April 30, 1994,
respectively. The increases in revenues from software products,
maintenance fees and customer service fees are largely due to
the revenues from newly acquired Abraxsys and OpenTrade
subsidiaries. During the year ended April 30, 1995, the Company
decided to discontinue direct support of its ManTec product
line. Revenues by category for the Abraxsys subsidiaries and the
OpenTrade subsidiaries for the periods of July 13, 1994 (date of
acquisition) to April 30, 1995 and from January 1st (date of
acquisition) to April 30, 1995, respectively, are as follows:
Software Maintenan Customer
Products ce Service
Abraxsys $8,163,0 $2,140,00 $2,166,00
00 0 0
OpenTrade $3,513,0 $1,794,00 $94,000
00 0
The Company's license revenues are subject to significant
fluctuations due to the relatively high cost of license fees, as
a result of which one additional product site could
36
significantly affect revenues. In addition, differing
installation schedules for different components and systems, may
result in revenues being recognized at different rates.
Costs of software products, consisting of the amortization of
previously capitalized software development expenses in fiscal
1994 and consisting of cost of third party products resold with
the Company's products and amortization of acquired software
technology in fiscal 1995, were $1,063,000 and $1,076,000 during
the year ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As a
result of the different method of allocating costs to cost of
software products, these costs are not comparable between the
years ended April 30, 1994 and April 30, 1995.
Costs of maintenance were $2,893,000 and $635,000 for fiscal
years 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in cost of
maintenance is a result of the addition of the Abraxsys, IBS-90,
and OpenTrade products to the Company's offerings. The cost of
maintenance of the OpenTrade product from January 1st to April
30, 1995 was approximately $1,142,000, while the cost of
maintenance of the IBS-90 and Abraxsys products from July 13,
1994 to April 30, 1995 was approximately $1,295,000.
Costs of customer service fees were $968,000 and $153,000 for
the fiscal years 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in
cost of customer service is a result of the addition of the
Abraxsys, IBS-90, and OpenTrade products to the Company's
offerings. The cost of customer services related to the
OpenTrade product from January 1st to April 30, 1995 was
37
approximately $60,000, while the cost of customer service
related to the IBS-90 and Abraxsys products from July 13, 1994
to April 30, 1995 was approximately $902,000.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were
$14,035,000 and $4,055,000 for fiscal years ended 1995 and 1994,
respectively, or 75% and 175% of revenue, respectively. The
increase is mainly due to the acquisition of new operating
companies in the US, in the UK and in Singapore during the
fiscal year.
The Company recognized net losses of $12,687,000 and $8,050,000
in the years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, or 68%
and 350% of gross revenue. The increase in net loss in dollar
terms is primarily due to an increase in share of loss in the
NPSC affiliate to $1,112,000 from $403,000 in the years ended
April 30, 1995 and April 30, 1994, respectively and by the
write off of acquired research and development during the year
ended April 30, 1995, in the amount of $8,740,000.
The Company currently conducts substantially all of its business
in United States dollars. As a result of the Winter Partners
and DESISCo acquisitions, the Company conducts a part of its
business in currencies other than the United States dollar,
although a large part of the Company's business abroad is
conducted in United States dollars. Revenue from subsidiaries
outside the United States amount to 86% of the Company's revenue
in the year ended April 30, 1995.
38
The Company is not aware of any current or expected future
impact as a result of new tax laws or the issuance of FASB
statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 1995, the Company had a working capital
deficiency of $9,006,000.
As of April 30, 1995, the Company owed D.H. Blair Investment
Banking Corp.(``Blair Banking'') $323,117 plus interest on an
8% convertible subordinated notes. Subsequent to year end, this
obligation was satisfied by conversion to equity.
The increase in current assets to $8,909,000 at April 30, 1995
from $ 821,000 at April 30, 1994 reflect the inclusion of the
Abraxsys and OpenTrade businesses as a result of the
acquisitions consummated during the fiscal year. The Company's
financial statements include an allowance for doubtful accounts
of $961,000 to reflect the Company's uncertainty that it can
collect certain accounts receivable. Although the Company does
not anticipate that it will experience significant bad debts in
the future, there can be no assurance that this will be the
case. To the Company's knowledge, only one of its customers is
experiencing financial difficulties.
At April 30, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carry-
forwards for federal income tax purposes in the United States of
$32,600,000, subject to Internal Revenue Service review, which
are available to offset future federal taxable income, if any,
through 2010 and are subject to annual limitations in use.
39
In the year ended April 30, 1995, the Company issued an
aggregate of 10,569,028 shares of Common Stock and 4,010,000
Warrants to private investors for on aggregate consideration of
$20,472,000.
The Company believes that until such time as it may experience a
substantially expanded cash flow from operations, it will be
required to seek alternative sources of funds for working
capital and to fund the continuation of its development and
marketing efforts. The Company intends, to the extent required
to provide working capital and to satisfy all outstanding debt,
to continue to sell its securities directly to investors in
private placements and it may, in the future, attempt to
arrange an offering through a private placement agent or
underwriter.
The Company's long-term liquidity and its ability to continue as
a going concern will ultimately depend upon the Company's
ability to realize sufficient revenues from operations.

----------------------------
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Management Technologies, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Management Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30,
1995 and the related consolidated statement of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on
our audit.
43
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit 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 consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Management Technologies, Inc. and
subsidiaries at April 30, 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows 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
discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company
has suffered recurring losses from operations and at April 30,
1995, has a working capital deficiency that raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
44
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Description of Business
The primary business of Management Technologies , Inc.
is the development, installation, marketing,
maintenance and support of an integrated line of
standardized, international, banking application
software packages.
Following, and as a result of the acquisitions noted
below, the Company decided to discontinue directly
selling and supporting its former product known as
ManTec. The Company is organized into two operating
divisions (Abraxsys Systems and Trading Systems)
reflecting the Company's principal product lines.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Management Technologies, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries . All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The results of the
62
Company include the operations of its subsidiaries that
were acquired during the course of the year as
follows:-
Winter Partners from July 14, 1994.
companies
DESISCo from January 1, 1995.
As used hereafter, ``Company'' refers to Management
Technologies Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries
unless otherwise stated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in conformity with
Statements of Position (SOP) 91-1 and 81-1.
In accordance with SOP 91-1, revenue from IBS-90 and
Abraxsys license fees are recognized on delivery to the
customer, provided that no significant vendor
obligations remain and collection of the resulting
receivable is deemed probable. The Company's contracts
with its customers provide for payment to be made on
specified schedules that may differ from the timing by
which revenue is recognized. Billings made in advance
of delivery are recorded as deferred income. The
63
amount by which recognized revenue exceeds billings to
customers is shown as unbilled accounts receivable.
Customer service fees represent fees charged to
customers for modifications of standard software to
customer specifications or work charged on the basis of
the time spent on the task as required by customers.
Such fees are billed to customers and revenue is
recognized as the work is performed.
Revenues and profits on delivery of the OpenTrade
product are recognized on the percentage-of-completion
method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost to
cost basis) in conformity with SOP 81-1. A prudent
estimate is made of the profit attributable to work
completed and is recognized once the outcome of the
contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty. If
the estimate indicates a loss, the entire loss is
accrued immediately. The amount by which recognized
revenue exceeds billings to customers is shown as
unbilled accounts receivable.
Maintenance fees are recognized proportionately over
the term of the maintenance agreement. Maintenance
fees that have yet to be recognized as income are
recorded as deferred income.
64
Foreign currency translation
Foreign curr ency transactions and financial statements
of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars
at prevailing or current rates respectively except for
revenues, costs and expenses that are translated at
average current rates during each reporting period.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in income currently. Gains
and losses resulting from the translation of financial
statements are excluded from the statement of income
and are credited or charged directly to a separate
component of shareholders' equity.
Product research and development
Costs associated with product research, development and
enhancement are recorded as follows:
Speculative technical research, usually incurred as
input to discussions related to product planning
are expensed until the point at which the product
reaches technological feasibility. Subsequent
costs incurred to the point where the product is
65
available for general release to the customer are
capitalized.
The costs of development specific to individual
customers and not generally applicable to other
customers are expensed.
Development costs applicable to core products,
which are predominantly of a maintenance nature,
are expensed as incurred. Such development is
generally designed to insure that products are kept
up to date with regulatory requirements, accounting
policies and banking practices and do not result in
new sellable products.
Research and development expense for the year ended
April 30, 1995, amounted to $5,847 which is included in
selling, general and administrative expenses. In
addition, the Company had a one time charge of $8,740
of in-process research and development as a result of
the acquisitions and as discussed in note 2. There
were no such costs for the year ended April 30, 1994.
No research and development costs were capitalized
during the year ended April 30, 1995.
66
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost.
Plant and equipment under capital leases are stated at
the present value of minimum lease payments.
Plant and equipment under capital leases are
depreciated straight line over the shorter of the lease
term or estimated useful life of the assets.
Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on
the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets as follows:
Computer Equipment two to five years
Furniture, fixtures four to five years
and fittings
Leasehold over the minimum period of
improvements the lease
Motor vehicles four years
Income Taxes
The Company conforms to the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
67
Income Taxes . Under the asset and liability method of
Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recogn ized
in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
Income (loss) per common share
Income (loss) per common share is calculated using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for each period adjusted for incremental shares assumed
issued for common stock equivalents using the treasury
stock method, provided that the effect is not anti-
dilutive.
Intangibles
68
The Company recorded the fair value of software
technology acquired as a result of the purchase of
Winter Partners and DESISCo. Software technology is
amortized straight line over its estimated useful life
of ten years. Amortization expense of acquired software
technology is included as a component of cost of
software product.
The Company has recorded as goodwill, the cost in
excess of the fair value of net assets of companies
acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is
amortized straight line over fifteen years.
The Company annually evaluates whether the goodwill is
fully recoverable based on undiscounted projected net
cash flows of the related businesses. In the event
that the Company determines that unamortized balances
of goodwill are not likely to be fully recovered, the
Company will recognize the consequent impairment of the
value of goodwill in its operating results.
(2) Acquisitions
------------
The Winter Partners companies
-----------------------------
69
On July 14, 1994, the Company acquired Winter Partners
Limited, Winter Partners, Inc, (subsequently renamed
MTi Abraxsys Systems, Inc), Winter Partners Pte Limited
(subsequently renamed MTi Abraxsys Systems Pte
Limited), and Winter Partners (HK) Limited
(subsequently renamed MTi Abraxsys Systems (HK)
Limited) from Winter Partners Holding AG. The
companies, hereafter referred to as the WP companies,
formed the international banking software division of
Winter Partners, a Zurich, Switzerland based company.
The Company paid a total of $ 12,800 for the WP
companies. The Company financed the acquisition through
a combination of cash from its own resources, short
term borrowings and proceeds from new share issuances.
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and on
this basis resulted in a one-time charge of $7,000 for
purchased research and development that was in process
at the date of acquisition. The Company recognized
$1,300 in acquired software technology in this
transaction and recorded goodwill of $5,270 as the
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired.
70
In the twelve months ended April 30, 1994, the WP
companies generated net revenues after the cost of
products sold of $ 9,760 and income before interest,
taxes and write-off of research and development, of $
450. The Company included in its results for the year
ended April 30, 1995, the results of the Winter
Partners companies for the period July 14, 1994,(date
of acquisition) to April 30, 1995, inclusive. During
that period the Winter Partners companies recorded
revenues of approximately $ 12,500 and income before
interest, taxes and the write-off of in-process
research and development of approximately $1,460.
The Company has not yet registered the acquisition of
Winter Partners Limited with, or paid the appropriate
ad valorem duties to, the regulatory authorities in the
United Kingdom. Accordingly, the official records in
the UK continue to show the ownership of Winter
Partners Limited as Winter Partners Holding AG, its
former parent company. However, Winter Partners
Holding has no further claim against the Company, nor
can it reclaim ownership of Winter Partners Limited.
Digital Equipment Service Industries Solutions Company
-------------------------------------------------------
Limited
-------
71
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company acquired all the
issued and outstanding shares of Digital Equipment
Service Industries Solutions Company Limited
(``DESISCo'') (subsequently renamed MTi Trading Systems
Limited) from Digital Equipment Co. Limited and
associated companies.
The purchase price for DESISCo, hereafter referred to as
MTi Trading Systems, was $10,169. The Company financed
the acquisition through a combination of short term
borrowings, its own resources, new share issuances and
deferred payment arrangements. The Company expects to
meet payments due under the deferred payment arrangement
through a combination of its own cash resources and
proceeds from new share issuances.
The transac tion was accounted for as a purchase and on
this basis resulted in a one-time charge of $1,740 for
purchased research and development that was in process
at the date of acquisition. The Company recognized
$3,000 in acquired software technology in this
transaction and recorded goodwill of $5,700 as the
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net
assets acquired.
72
In the twelve months ended June 30, 1994, DESISCo
reported net revenues after cost of product sold of $
14,000 and losses before interest, taxes and charge for
research and development, of $8,800. The Company
included in its results for the year ended April 30,
1995, the results of MTi Trading Systems for the period
January 1, 1995,(date of acquisition) to April 30,
1995, inclusive. During that period MTi Trading
Systems recorded revenues of approximately $5,400 and
income before interest, taxes and the charge for in-
process research and development of approximately $185.
See also notes 7, 8 and 11.
(3) Liquidity
---------
The Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations and at April 30, 1995, has a working capital
deficiency of $ 9,006.
The Company believes that until such time as it may
experience a substantially expanded cash flow from
operations, it will be required to seek alternative
sources of funds for working capital and to fund the
continuation of its development and marketing efforts.
The Company intends, to the extent required to provide
73
working capital and to satisfy all outstanding debt, to
continue to sell its securities directly to investors in
private placements. It may, in the future, attempt to
arrange an offering through a private placement agent or
underwriter.
The Company believes that it will be able to arrange
sufficient debt and/or equity financing that it
anticipates will, together with funds generated from
operations, be sufficient for the Company's requirements
for the coming year. There is, however, no certainty
that it will be successful in making such arrangements.
(4) Prepaid expenses and other current assets
-----------------------------------------
Prepaid expenses and o ther current assets consist
principally of prepaid expenses and other items.

(``NPSC''), which is a non-public company engaged in
software development. The Company does not have a
controlling voting power commensurate with its equity
ownership. The Company accounts for its investment in
accordance with the equity accounting convention and
accordingly has fully written off its investment in and
advances to NPSC in the year ended April 30, 1995. The
Company does not have any additional financial
obligation to NPSC and therefore has not recorded
losses in excess of its total investment in NPSC.

1995,(NPSC's fiscal year end) is shown below on a 100
per cent basis.

1, 1995, and April 1, 1995. Repayment of the note was
due July 11, 1995. Further to the Company's failure to
pay interest installments due October 1, 1994, and
January 1, 1995, by a new agreement dated January 23,
1995, the term of the note was extended to July 11,

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On May 9, 1995, the Company engaged KMPG Peat Marwick LLP as its
principal independent accountant to audit the Company's
financial statements starting with its fiscal year ended April
30, 1995. The decision to change principal accountant was
recommended by the audit committee of the Board of Directors.
Accordingly, the engagement of Goldstein & Morris, the Company's
prior independent accountant, was not renewed.
In connection with the audits of the fiscal years ended April
30, 1993 and April 30, 1994, there was no disagreement with
Goldstein & Morris on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreement, if not solved to their
satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in
connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the
disagreement.
The audit reports of Goldstein & Morris on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of
and for the years ended April 30, 1993 and April 30, 1994, did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer opinion, nor were
they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles. However, each of the reports for the
years ended April 30, 1993 and April 30, 1994, respectively,
contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the uncertainty
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management Technologies, Inc.:
We consent to incorporation by reference in the registration
statements (No. 33-25528 and No. 33-52074) on Form S-1 and Form
S-3 respectively of management Technologies Inc. of our report
dated August 15, 1995, relating to the consolidated balance sheet
of Management Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30,
1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity, and cashflows for the year ended April 30,
1995, which report appears in the April 30, 1995, annual report
on Form 10-KSB of Management Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries.
Our report dated August 15, 1995, contains an explanatory
paragraph that states that the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and at April 30, 1995, has a working
capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
