PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Except as otherwise noted, all information in this Prospectus has
been adjusted to reflect a one-for-ten reverse split of the Common Stock
effected as of July 20, 1994.
THE COMPANY
Quadrax designs, develops, fabricates and sells fiber-reinforced
thermoplastic polymer composite materials ("Quadrax Composites") and products
manufactured from Quadrax Composites. Quadrax Composites are synthetic materials
made using patented and other proprietary, as well as non-proprietary, chemical
processes and manufacturing technologies. The Company believes that Quadrax
Composites are functionally superior to other structural substrates for most
applications in which abrasion resistance and extreme heat tolerance are not
critical. Quadrax Composites' functional advantages include high
strength-to-weight ratios, chemical stability in a variety of ambient conditions
(imperviousness to rust, rot or reaction with most commonly used chemical
solvents), ease and safety of manufacture using modified conventional heat and
compression molding techniques, virtually unlimited shelf life without special
storage or handling requirements, and recyclability.
The Company has been a development stage company since its inception in
March 1986. The Company has not achieved profitability in any fiscal quarter and
has been required to raise substantial amounts of capital in order to support
its on-going development activities. Although the Company historically was
dedicated to the formatting of composite materials for defense and aerospace
markets, it began redirecting its business in 1993 and 1994 to focus on
commercial and consumer markets for value-added, high-performance products. It
commenced limited commercial production in mid-1993. Quadrax did not generate
significant revenue in fiscal 1994, and its independent accountants have
included a "going concern" qualification in their report on the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal 1994. See "RISK FACTORS" and
Consolidated Financial Statements.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the following
risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its
business before purchasing any of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
OPERATING LOSSES; LIMITED REVENUES
Quadrax Corporation is a development stage company that has not achieved
profitability in any fiscal quarter since its incorporation in March 1986. From
incorporation through March 31, 1995, the Company incurred a cumulative net loss
from continuing operations of $42,282,097. During the quarter ended March 31,
1995 and fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company incurred net losses from
continuing operations of $1,486,524, $11,517,000, $5,713,000 and $7,266,000,
respectively.
The Company has generated only limited revenue to date. In particular,
Quadrax has redirected its development and marketing efforts to commercial
markets and, as a result, only commenced limited commercial production in
mid-1993. During the quarter ended March 31, 1995 and fiscal 1994, 1993 and
1992, the Company's total revenue was $1,083,638, $860,000, $1,555,000 and
$850,000, respectively. There can be no assurance that sales of the Company's
products and services will generate significant revenue in the future.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain
profitability in the future. The future operating results of the Company will
depend on its ability to develop and market new products in the commercial
markets. The Company's independent accountants have included a "going concern"
qualification in their report on the Company's financial statements for fiscal
1994, reflecting the Company's history of losses as a development stage company
and its continuing dependence on financing activities to provide the cash needed
to meet its expenses. See "--Dependence on New Products" and "MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS--Results of Operations."
DEPENDENCE ON NEW PRODUCTS
The Company historically has marketed its products to the U.S.
Government. The Company began to apply its technology in consumer and other
commercial markets in 1993, and since that time has taken a number of actions
aimed at entering the sporting goods and athletic equipment market.
As a result of the Company's recent redirection of its business toward
commercial markets, the Company has only commenced limited commercial production
and therefore has not had an opportunity to evaluate or establish the extent to
which Quadrax Composites can be successfully applied to the development and
production of products for commercial markets. While the Company believes that
Quadrax Composites are functionally superior to other structural substrates for
many commercial applications, any failure or inability of Quadrax Composites to
perform to standards anticipated by the Company would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operations and financial condition.
Although the Company has entered into several joint development and
exclusive manufacturing contracts to sell goods in the consumer sporting goods
market, the contracts are contingent on the Company being able to meet
contractual specifications on a timely basis. While the Company has completed
prototypes of certain of its sporting good products, the Company has not been
able to meet contractual specifications in a timely manner and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to do so in the future. A delay in the
successful development, completion or production of any of the Company's
sporting good products may result in the cancellation of existing contracts and
prevent the Company from
4
<PAGE> 6
entering into additional contracts. This would have a material adverse effect on
the Company's operations and financial condition. See "BUSINESS--Product Line."
In addition, in selling Quadrax Composites and products manufactured from
Quadrax Composites to consumer and commercial markets, the Company faces
significant institutional resistance to working with new materials and products
and to investing in the re-tooling needed to integrate these materials and
products into existing production and product lines. Successful entrance into
new markets will require substantial investments by the Company in fabrication
and marketing of Quadrax Composites and in the design, development, fabrication
and marketing of products manufactured from Quadrax Composites. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to overcome such institutional
resistance or that it will have sufficient resources to make the necessary
investments in its new products. See "--Capital Requirements" and
"BUSINESS--Marketing and Sales."
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company has not achieved profitability in any fiscal quarter and has
been required to raise substantial amounts of capital in order to support its
on-going development activities. As the Company continues to focus on commercial
markets and progresses from the development of prototypes of products
manufactured from Quadrax Composites to the production of finished goods, it
will continue to be dependent on outside financing sources.
From its incorporation in March 1986 through March 31, 1995, Quadrax
raised a total of $45.6 million in equity capital. The Company raised
approximately $5.0 million of equity capital in fiscal 1994 and an additional
$3.7 million through sales of stock during the first half of fiscal 1995. It
expects to raise approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
through additional sales of preferred stock, for which it obtained a commitment
in June 1995. While the Company believes that these funds, together with cash
provided by revenues, will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements
for the remainder of fiscal 1995, there can be no assurance that it will be
successful in raising such funds or that such funds, if raised, will be
sufficient to finance the Company's planned operations during the remainder of
fiscal 1995. If the Company is unable to meet its cash requirements, it may be
required to defer for a period of time, or indefinitely, the design,
development, fabrication and marketing of new products and the marketing of
existing products and materials in new markets.
In addition, the Company's capital requirements may increase materially
from those now planned depending on numerous factors, including the level of its
research and development expenses, the rate of market acceptance of the
Company's products, and the success of the Company's sales, marketing and
distribution strategy. If the Company exceeds its sales objectives, it may still
require additional capital to finance its growth. There can be no assurance that
the Company would be successful in raising such additional capital.
See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources."
LIMITED PRODUCTION AND SALES EXPERIENCE
Quadrax has limited experience producing Quadrax Composites and
fabricating finished products and components made from Quadrax Composites. The
Company has delivered significant quantities of Quadrax Composites for
evaluation and testing, but has completed only one production contract to date,
for a subcontractor to the Department of the Navy, which it completed at a
substantial loss. Quadrax is currently performing several production contracts,
including one contract under which composite tape
5
<PAGE> 7
fabrication is being performed at a third party's facility. While management
believes that significant technological barriers to full scale production have
been overcome, there can be no assurance that significant unforeseen
difficulties will not be encountered at commercial production levels. See
"BUSINESS--Manufacturing and Distribution Systems."
Prior to 1994, Quadrax concentrated all its product marketing and customer
calling efforts on the sale of materials, primarily within the defense
contracting community. Efforts to move into commercial and consumer applications
were limited to attendance at trade shows sponsored by various members of the
plastics and advanced materials industries. The Company currently has only a
small sales and marketing force. While initial efforts have been successful,
there can be no assurance that these successes can be duplicated and expanded
upon to the extent necessary for Quadrax to achieve a profitable level of
operation. See "BUSINESS--Marketing and Sales."
COMPETITION
Quadrax Composites compete with conventional materials (including wood,
stone, steel and aluminum), less common metals (such as titanium), and thermoset
(epoxy-based) composites. While Quadrax Composites offer several advantages over
competing materials, they are also more expensive. In addition, Quadrax
Composites also suffer from institutional resistance to working with new
materials and investing in the re-tooling needed to integrate Quadrax Composites
into existing product and production lines. See "BUSINESS--Technologies--
Competitive Advantages and Disadvantages" and "BUSINESS--Competition."
The Company faces competition from three of the world's largest
multinational chemical companies -- E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Imperial
Chemical Industries PLC and Saint Goban -- each of which develops composite
product offerings that may compete with the Company's product offerings. In
addition, the Company faces potential competition from new companies as well as
from established companies that may migrate from related industries. Many of the
Company's current and prospective competitors, including E.I du Pont de Nemours
& Co., Imperial Chemical Industries PLC and Saint Goban, have significantly
greater financial, manufacturing and marketing resources than the Company. There
can be no assurance that the Company's products will compete effectively with
products offered by established and new competitors of the Company.
Competition in the sporting goods and athletic equipment market is
intense. The industry consists primarily of major domestic and international
companies that have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing,
distribution and other resources substantially greater than those of the
Company. Many of the Company's competitors in this industry have entrenched
market positions and established trade names, trademarks and other intellectual
property rights. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors in
this industry will not devote their significantly greater financial, technical,
marketing and other resources to develop and market sporting goods and athletic
equipment more aggressively than the Company.
The Company believes that its ability to compete depends on elements both
within and outside its control, including the success and timing of new product
development and introduction by the Company and its competitors, product
performance and price, distribution, and customer support. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully with respect to
these factors. Although the Company believes that it has certain technological
advantages over its competitors, maintaining such advantages will require
continued investment by the Company in design and development, sales and
marketing, and customer service and support. There can be no assurance that the
Company will have sufficient resources to make such investments or that the
Company will be able to make the technological
6
<PAGE> 8
advances necessary to maintain its competitive advantages. In addition, as the
Company enters new markets, distribution channels, technical requirements and
levels and bases of competition may be different than those in the Company's
current markets and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
compete favorably. See "BUSINESS--Competition."
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
The Company currently holds patents on its Quadrax Biaxial Tape materials
formats and on certain aspects of tennis racquets manufactured from Quadrax
aXial Tape. The Company either owns, licenses or has applied for patents on
certain aspects of the other technology underlying the Company's products. The
Company's patents, patent rights and patent applications do not ensure a
competitive advantage to the Company, particularly inasmuch as several of the
patents are licensed on a non-exclusive basis. No assurance can be given that
any issued or licensed patents will not be designed around, infringed or
successfully challenged by others, or that the Company will have sufficient
resources to enforce any proprietary protection afforded by its patents.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that patents will issue with respect to
any pending patent application. Moreover, various of the Company's actual and
potential competitors have obtained patents and could seek to enforce them
against the Company. An infringement action, if brought, would be costly to
defend and there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail. Failure to
obtain or to be able to enforce patent protection in favor of the Company, or
failure to defend successfully a patent infringement claim against the Company,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. In addition,
despite the Company's precautions to the contrary, there can be no assurance
that the trade secrecy protections which may be asserted by the Company to
protect other aspects of its intellectual property will not be breached or will
be enforceable.
KEY EMPLOYEES
The Company's success depends to a significant extent upon a number of key
management and technical personnel, including James J. Palermo, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, and David Soules, the Company's Vice
President-Manufacturing Operations. Mr. Palermo has signed an employment
agreement with the Company that is effective through December 1996. See
"MANAGEMENT--Compensation Plans and Arrangements." Mr. Soules is not a party to
an employment agreement with Quadrax. The loss of the services of a key employee
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial
condition. In addition, the Company's future success will depend in part on its
ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial and marketing
personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in hiring or retaining the
personnel it requires to continue to grow and operate profitably.
POTENTIAL DILUTION
Quadrax has a complex capital structure that includes a number of classes
of outstanding warrants and options to purchase Common Stock and the Company's
convertible preferred stock, $.01 par value (the "Voting Preferred Stock"),
which is convertible into Common Stock. If all of the warrants and options
having exercise prices less than the reported last sale price of the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on July 14, 1995 were to be exercised, an
aggregate of 1,821,447 shares of Common Stock would be issuable for a total of
$3,121,838, resulting in a reduction in the percentage of voting rights and
interests in profits represented by a share of Common Stock.
In addition, the Company is authorized to issue up to a total of
90,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which fewer than 15,000,000 shares are
outstanding as of the date hereof. Issuance of a significant number of
additional shares of Common Stock would result in a substantial reduction in the
percentage of
7
<PAGE> 9
voting rights and interests in profits currently represented by a share of
Common Stock. See "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK."
TECHNOLOGICAL OBSOLESCENCE
The structural composites market in which Quadrax competes is
characterized by rapid technological development. There can be no assurance that
Quadrax's products will not be rendered obsolete or that Quadrax will be
successful in developing new products to meet changing market needs. See
"BUSINESS--Technologies and Competition."
PRODUCT LIABILITY
Sales of Quadrax Composites and parts manufactured therefrom may expose
the Company to liability for substantial damages in the event of accident or
injury shown to have been caused by defective materials. Quadrax believes that
its limited product liability insurance is currently adequate, but no assurance
can be given that such insurance is sufficient in scope and amount to cover any
and all damages that are incurred in the future. Further, the Company expects
that it will be necessary for the Company to increase its product liability
insurance coverage as shipments to commercial markets increase, and there can be
assurance that such coverage will be available or, if available, that it will be
available on terms that are economically acceptable to the Company.
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE; DEPRESSIVE EFFECT OF FUTURE SALES OF COMMON STOCK
The trading price of the Common Stock has been subject to wide
fluctuations for a number of reasons, including the financial difficulties and
subsequent cessation in 1991 of market-making activities by its former principal
market maker and changes in control of the Company in 1994 and 1995. In
addition, the stock market has from time-to-time experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations that particularly affected the market price for many
technology companies and that often have been unrelated to operating performance
of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock. In addition, future sales by the Company of
newly issued Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock) in the public market could place downward pressure on the market
price of the Common Stock. See "PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK."
POSSIBLE DELISTING OF COMMON STOCK FROM NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET
The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Listing on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market permits a company's securities to be quoted over the
automated electronic quotation system maintained by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., which makes current quotations of an issuer's
securities available to brokers and dealers nationwide. The requirements for
continued listing of common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market include (i) the
presence of at least two registered and active market makers for the stock, (ii)
total assets of the issuer of at least $2,000,000, (iii) total capital and
surplus of the issuer of at least $1,000,000, (iv) a minimum bid price per share
of the stock of at least $1.00 (or, alternatively, $1,000,000 market value of
public float and $2,000,000 in total capital and surplus), (v) the existence of
at least 300 record holders of the stock, and (vi) the existence of at least
100,000 publicly-held shares of the stock. The National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. also has discretionary power to delist companies for
other reasons in keeping with the integrity of the market system. Although the
Company believes it is currently in compliance with each of these requirements
with respect to the Common Stock, and management is prepared to take steps to
assure continued compliance with the listing requirements for the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, no assurance can be provided that management's efforts, if
required, would be successful or that the Common Stock will continue to be
listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
8
<PAGE> 10
If the Common Stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market,
current information regarding the bid and asked prices for the Common Stock
would become less readily available to brokers, dealers and their customers. As
a result of the reduced availability of current information, it is likely that
there would be a reduction in the liquidity of the market for the Common Stock
which could, in turn, result in decreased demand for the Common Stock, a
decrease in the price of the Common Stock, and an increased spread between the
bid and asked prices for the Common Stock.

high-performance products. The Company did not generate significant revenues in
fiscal 1994 (the period from January 3, 1994 to December 31, 1994), and the
Company's independent accountants, Livingston & Haynes, P.C., have included a
"going concern" qualification in their report on the Company's financial
statements for fiscal 1994, reflecting the Company's history of losses as a
development stage company and its continuing dependence on financing activities
to provide the cash needed to meet its expenses. See Consolidated Financial
Statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a development stage enterprise and has completed only one
production contract to date. The Company commenced limited commercial production
in mid-1993. Although the Company historically was dedicated to the formatting
of composite materials for defense and aerospace markets, it began redirecting
its business in 1993 and 1994 to focus on commercial and consumer markets for
value-added, high-performance products. The Company did not generate significant
revenues in fiscal 1994 (the period from January 3, 1994 to December 31, 1994),
and the Company's independent accountants, Livingston & Haynes, P.C., have
included a "going concern" qualification in their report on the Company's
financial statements for fiscal 1994, reflecting the Company's history of losses
as a development stage company and its continuing dependence on financing
activities to provide the cash needed to meet its expenses.
In 1994, the Company converted its fiscal year from a 52-53 week period
ending on the Sunday closest to December 31 to a calendar year ending December
31.
FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1994
The Company's net loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31,
1995 (the "1995 first quarter") of approximately $1,487,000 was approximately
$1,186,000 less than its net loss from operations of approximately $2,673,000
for the quarter ended April 3, 1994 (the "1994 first quarter"). This decrease
was the result of the non-recurring costs associated with the proposed
acquisition of the Company's assets by Applied Laser Systems ("ALS") which was
terminated in May 1994. See "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS--Pattinson Hayton, III and
Affiliates".
Total revenue recognized during the 1995 first quarter was $1,084,000
compared to $76,000 in the 1994 first quarter. This increase of $1,008,000 or
1,326 percent from the 1994 first quarter results from the Company shipping
product to its defense related customers in the approximate amount of $725,000.
Additionally, $181,000 of Wimbledon related products were sold in the 1995 first
quarter and the balance of the sales increase results primarily from consumer
related sporting goods customers who were beginning to utilize the Company's
materials in their products.
Costs of goods sold for the first quarter of 1995 of $715,000 reflected
costs associated with the defense and consumer products which the Company
shipped in the 1995 first quarter. The cost of goods sold for the 1994 first
quarter reflected monies the Company expended relating to an athletic shoe
program which began in 1993 and terminated in early 1994.
Research and development expenses were $236,000 in the 1995 first quarter,
a decrease of $163,000 as compared to $399,000 in the 1994 first quarter. The
reason for this decrease is that the Company capitalized $175,000 of tooling
development expenditures it incurred during the 1995 first quarter for
commercial products which had no shipments during this period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $739,000 to
$1,412,000 in the 1995 first quarter. The reasons for this increase were as
follows:
(1) The Company's sales and marketing costs increased $357,000 in the 1995
first quarter. These expenditures were monies the Company used for its
Wimbledon division, which it acquired in November 1994.
15
<PAGE> 17
(2) The Company's general and administrative costs increased $338,000. The
reasons for this were two fold. First, the general and administrative
costs attributable to the Wimbledon and McManis Sports divisions, which
were acquired in November 1994, were $100,000 and $97,000,
respectively. Second, the corporate general and administrative costs
increased $141,000 in the 1995 first quarter as a result of increased
travel costs, rent, and utilities. The rent and utility cost increases
were due to accounting reclassifications. In the 1994 first quarter,
these costs were allocated to various overhead departments in cost of
sales and research and development, while in the 1995 first quarter
they were not.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $8,000 to $204,000 in
the 1995 first quarter.
Interest expense for both the 1995 first quarter and the 1994 first
quarter was $4,000.
Non-recurring financing related costs recognized in the 1994 first quarter
totalled $1,450,000 and related to the Asset Acquisition Agreement between the
Company and ALS, which was terminated by mutual agreement in May 1994. Included
in these costs were 170,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $1,116,000 ($6.56
per share) issued or to be issued to the Company's investor relations
consultant. Other costs incurred were for various professional services.
FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993
The Company's net loss from continuing operations in fiscal 1994 of
$11,517,000 increased by $5,804,000 as compared to the fiscal 1993 loss from
continuing operations of $5,713,000. This increase primarily resulted from
non-recurring financing costs of $5,569,000 (see Note 9 to Consolidated
Financial Statements) and a write-off of obsolete equipment of $190,000.
Total revenue recognized during fiscal 1994 was $860,000 compared to
$1,555,000 in fiscal 1993. The primary reason for this decrease was that the
Company substantially completed its initial production contract in fiscal 1993
and that follow-on production contracts are not expected to generate revenues
until fiscal 1995. Sales of material for evaluation and testing totalled
$760,000 in fiscal 1994 compared to $430,000 in fiscal 1993.
Cost of goods sold for fiscal 1994 was $106,000, which related to the
Company's initial production contracts completed in fiscal 1994.
Research and development expenses were $1,691,000 in fiscal 1994 as
compared to $2,144,000 in fiscal 1993, a decrease of $453,000. This decrease
reflected reduced development activities during the first half of fiscal 1994
and the Company's accelerated shift in strategic focus away from defense and in
favor of commercial and consumer applications in the second half of fiscal 1994.
Sales, general and administrative expenses of $3,982,000 in fiscal 1994
increased approximately $842,000 over fiscal 1993. This increase reflects the
addition of executive personnel, particularly in the area of sales and
marketing, and approximately $380,000 of costs related to product publicity
campaigns.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $139,000 in fiscal 1994.
The reason for this decrease was the non-recurrence of amortization of deferred
expense and deferred debt expense recognized in fiscal 1993 of approximately
$180,000. Included in fiscal 1994 expenses was the write-off of $190,000 of
obsolete fixed assets and equipment.
16
<PAGE> 18
Interest expense increased $187,000 in fiscal 1994 to $205,000. The
primary reasons for this increase were the $65,000 of costs associated with the
proposed acquisition of the Company by ALS and interest of $132,000 paid on
debentures issued in private placement transactions during fiscal 1994.
Loss on investment incurred during fiscal 1994 was negligible, a reduction
of $16,000 from fiscal 1993. During fiscal 1993, the Company realized a $16,000
loss upon the sale of 123,400 shares of 3D Systems, Inc. stock acquired in
settlement of patent litigation involving Quadrax Laser.
Non-recurring financing-related costs of $5,569,000 in fiscal 1994 were
incurred in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by ALS,
which was terminated during May 1994, and the termination of a funding
relationship with Conagher & Co., Inc. ("Conagher"). See "BUSINESS--Changes in
Control and Related Transactions," "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS--Pattinson Hayton, III
and Affiliates" and Notes 9 and 10 to Consolidated Financial Statements. The
Company incurred costs of approximately $1,481,000 in connection with the
proposed purchase of the Company's assets by ALS, primarily as a result of the
issuance of Common Stock to its investor relations consultant along with
professional fees. As a result of the financing with Conagher, the Company
incurred one-time costs of $4,087,000.
FISCAL 1993 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1992
The Company's net loss from continuing operations in fiscal 1993 of
$5,713,480 decreased by $1,552,643 as compared to the fiscal 1992 net loss from
continuing operations of $7,266,123. This reduction resulted primarily from an
improvement in gross margin on production contracts of approximately $771,000
and reductions in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately
$1,684,000, offset by increases in research and development expenses of
approximately $467,000 and selling, general and administrative expenses of
$459,000.
Sales of material for testing and evaluation in fiscal 1993 were $430,000,
an increase of approximately $190,000 compared to fiscal 1992. This increase was
principally the result of sales of the Company's unidirectional tape products
acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1992 and revenues generated from
developmental efforts for recreational products. Sales from production contracts
in fiscal 1993 were $1,098,000, which represented an increase of $952,000
compared to fiscal 1992. The Company completed its first major production
contract in the second quarter of fiscal 1993 and recorded sales from a smaller
production contract during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993.
The Company recognized no research income during fiscal 1993. During
fiscal 1992, the Company completed a $250,000 research contract performed
pursuant to settlement of litigation.
Cost of goods sold for fiscal 1993 of $987,000 reflect costs incurred on
production contracts during fiscal 1993, offset by the reversal of a $500,000
loss reserve established in fiscal 1992 for estimated losses on a subsurface
naval vessel contract realized in fiscal 1993 and a $145,000 provision for a
loss reserve on an athletic shoe program for sales to be made in fiscal 1994.
The forecasted loss on the shoe program was attributable to production start-up
costs in excess of those forecasted and greater than expected scrap rates.
The Company believes that manufacturing economies, particularly as they
relate to scrap materials, realized in the manufacture of laminates for the
subsurface naval vessel contract and for the shoe program will significantly
reduce the cost of raw materials and the amount of rework required on future
such programs. In addition, since the completion of certain asset and license
acquisitions in 1992, the Company has been vertically integrated and therefore,
if cost effective, can use its own materials for these and other production
programs. Moreover, the Company is currently negotiating revised specifications
for these
17
<PAGE> 19
programs which, if accepted, will reduce manufacturing costs. Accordingly, the
Company projects that it will realize a positive gross margin on future such
production contracts, if awarded.
Research and development expenses increased by $467,000 to $2,144,000,
primarily as a result of salaries for new applications development and
processing engineers and increased spending for development projects relating to
sporting goods products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1993 increased
by approximately $459,000 to $3,140,000. Selling and marketing expenses
increased by $733,000, attributable principally to increases in payroll and
payroll related expenses resulting from the hiring of additional sales and
marketing personnel and the redirection of members of the Company's engineering
staff to support the sales effort ($464,000), increased professional and
consulting fees ($103,000), increased travel expenses ($85,000) and increased
sample expenses ($32,000). General and administrative expenses decreased by
$274,000, attributable principally to reduced fees for investment banking and
financial relations services ($169,000), the non-recurrence of certain state
license fees ($162,000) and reduction in commission expenses ($34,000), offset
by an increase ($95,000) for directors and officers liability insurance.
Interest expense incurred in fiscal 1993 of $18,000 was $137,000 less than
fiscal 1992. Interest expense in fiscal 1992 was primarily attributable to the
Company's senior convertible notes, which were issued in April 1992 and
converted into Voting Preferred Stock in July 1992.
Depreciation and amortization in fiscal 1993 decreased by $1,684,000 to
$963,000. This decrease is attributable to a reduction in unearned compensation
on compensatory stock options ($1,160,000) which had resulted from an
acceleration of vesting provisions in fiscal 1992, a reduction in the
amortization of deferred debt expense related to the issuance of debt during
fiscal 1992 ($259,000), a decrease in amortization of deferred expenses
($158,000) and $171,000 related to the acceleration of amortization for certain
braiding patent acquisition costs, offset by increased depreciation for
machinery and equipment placed in service during fiscal 1993 ($64,000).
Other expense for fiscal 1993 of $16,000 reflects a $19,000 loss realized
of the sale of 3D Systems, Inc. stock acquired in settlement of patent
litigation with Quadrax Laser. In fiscal 1992, other expense of $149,000
reflected an adjustment to the market value of the 3D Systems, Inc. stock.
FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As a development stage company, Quadrax continues to rely on financing
activities for the cash required to fund its operations. Net funds provided by
financing activities in fiscal 1994, after giving effect to the repayment of
debt, totalled $5,893,000, as compared with $4,510,000 in fiscal 1993 and
$6,817,000 in fiscal 1992.
As a result of its inability to raise additional capital in the first
quarter of fiscal 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an asset
acquisition agreement pursuant to which ALS would have acquired all of the
assets of the Company in exchange for ALS stock. Negotiations for this
acquisition were terminated in May 1994, and the Company subsequently was party
to financings and other transactions that resulted in a change in control of
the Company. See "BUSINESS--Changes in Control and Related Transactions,"
"CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS--Pattinson Hayton, III and Affiliates" and Note 10 to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Quadrax will continue to be substantially dependent on outside financing
sources as it progresses from the development of prototypes to the production of
finished goods and components. The Company raised approximately $3,700,000
through sales of Common Stock during the first half of fiscal 1995. It expects
18
<PAGE> 20
to seek to raise approximately $1,500,000 through additional equity sales in the
third quarter of fiscal 1995, for which it received commitments in June 1995.
The Company generated revenues of approximately $860,000 in fiscal 1994,
and as a result operations were not a source of funds or liquidity for the
Company. The Company shipped in excess of $1,000,000 during the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.
The Company believes that the proceeds of approximately $1,500,000
expected to be received from additional equity sales in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995, together with funds provided by operations and cash on hand
(approximately $2,486,000 at July 14, 1995), will be sufficient to meet the
Company's cash requirements through the end of fiscal 1995.
The Company received a going concern qualification from its outside
independent auditors on its fiscal 1994 audited financial statements. While the
Company believes it has made and will continue to make substantial progress
towards achieving profitability, the results to date have not yet been
sufficient to negate the auditors' qualifications. The Company's management is
of the opinion that it will be able to continue to raise money from outside
third party sources in sufficient amounts to support its operations until the
time that the forecasted revenues for future periods materialize from programs
in which the Company is involved. There is no assurance that the Company's
efforts to raise money will be successful or that the forecasts will be
achieved. There will usually be differences between the forecasted and actual
results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected and
those differences may be material. Because the Company is still in the
development stage, it is difficult to predict accurately the amount of revenues
that will be generated, the amount of expenses that will be required by its
operations or its ability to raise additional capital.

BUSINESS
GENERAL
Quadrax Corporation designs, develops, fabricates and sells Quadrax
Composites and products manufactured from Quadrax Composites. Quadrax Composites
are fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composite materials made using
patented and other proprietary, as well as non-proprietary, chemical processes
and manufacturing technologies. The Company believes that Quadrax Composites are
functionally superior to other structural substrates for most applications in
which abrasion resistance and extreme heat tolerance are not critical. Quadrax
Composites' functional advantages include high strength-to-weight ratios,
chemical stability in a variety of ambient conditions (imperviousness to rust,
rot or reaction with most commonly used chemical solvents), ease and safety of
manufacture using modified conventional heat and compression molding techniques,
virtually unlimited shelf life without special storage or handling requirements,
and recyclability.
The Company, which has been a development stage company since its
inception in March 1986, commenced limited commercial production in mid-1993.
The Company has not achieved profitability in any fiscal quarter and has been
required to raise substantial amounts of capital in order to support its
on-going development activities. Although the Company historically was dedicated
to the formatting of composite materials for defense and aerospace markets, it
began redirecting its business in 1993 and 1994 to focus on commercial and
consumer markets for value-added, high-performance products. The Company did not
generate significant revenues in fiscal 1994 (the period from January 3, 1994 to
December 31, 1994), and the Company's independent accountants, Livingston &
Haynes, P.C., have included a "going concern" qualification in their report on
the Company's financial statements for fiscal 1994, reflecting the Company's
history of losses as a development stage company and its continuing dependence
on financing activities to provide the cash needed to meet its expenses. See
Consolidated Financial Statements.
CHANGES IN CONTROL AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On July 8, 1994, Pattinson Hayton, III, through Conagher, a California
corporation controlled by Mr. Hayton, purchased a majority of the Voting
Preferred Stock from the Company's founder and then Chief Executive Officer,
Richard A. Fisher. Conagher's ownership of the Voting Preferred Stock enabled it
to elect three-fifths of the Company's Board of Directors.
Contemporaneous with the acquisition of the Voting Preferred Stock, Mr.
Hayton also agreed to purchase newly issued shares of Common Stock through
Conagher. Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated July 8, 1994, Conagher
purchased 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for a $3,000,000
promissory note from Conagher (the "July Promissory Note") payable in five equal
consecutive monthly installments beginning August 16, 1994. Thereafter, pursuant
to a stock purchase agreement dated August 26, 1994 and subsequently amended on
September 16, 1994, Conagher purchased an additional 2,250,000 shares of Common
Stock in exchange for a $4,500,000 promissory note from Conagher (the "August
Promissory Note"), payable in equal consecutive monthly installments beginning
October 30, 1994. Thus, as a result of these purchases, Conagher acquired
3,750,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for promissory notes aggregating
$7,500,000.
In September 1994, Conagher satisfied its obligations under the July
Promissory Note by paying to the Company an aggregate of $1,742,675 and by
arranging for the discharge of notes payable by the Company to ALS in the amount
of $1,257,325. Conagher also made aggregate payments of approximately $3,500,000
in connection with the August Promissory Note. The remaining balance of
approximately $1,000,000, which was due and owing as of January 30, 1995, was
not paid by Conagher.
20
<PAGE> 22
In connection with Conagher's failure to pay the balance due on the August
Promissory Note, the Company entered into negotiations which led to a Settlement
Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") among Conagher, Mr. Hayton, Richard A.
Fisher, James J. Palermo, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and
Allied-Asian Consolidated Limited ("Allied"), a company of which Mr. Hayton was
a director and stockholder, dated February 13, 1995 and subsequently amended on
March 17, 1995 and May 30, 1995. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, record
ownership of the Voting Preferred Stock owned by Conagher was transferred to Mr.
Palermo, as trustee for the holders of Common Stock. Mr. Palermo is required to
vote the Voting Preferred Stock as directed by the holders of the Common Stock,
and as a result holders of Common Stock are now able to elect all of the
Company's directors. In conjunction with the acquisition of the Voting Preferred
Stock from Conagher, Mr. Palermo replaced Mr. Hayton as Chairman of the Board
and Mr. Hayton resigned as a director of the Company. For a description of the
terms of the Settlement Agreement and related transactions see "CERTAIN
TRANSACTIONS--Pattinson Hayton, III and Affiliates" and Note 10 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
REDIRECTION OF BUSINESS
The Company historically was dedicated to the formatting of composite
materials for defense and aerospace markets. Beginning in 1993, the Company
began to redirect its business toward commercial and consumer applications.
After negotiations for the proposed sale of the Company to ALS were terminated
in May 1994, the Company sought to accelerate the redirection of its business
during the second half of fiscal 1994 through acquisitions of assets and license
rights and through strategic arrangements with manufacturers of sporting goods
and athletic equipment.
Quadrax was originally organized in March 1986 to acquire and complete the
development of the Composite Materials Interlacer, a device designed to format
thermoplastic composite tapes into continuous broad sheet goods. Sheet goods
formatted using the Composite Materials Interlacer have been among those
marketed by Quadrax under the brand name "Quadrax Biaxial Tape." The Company's
target market for Quadrax Biaxial Tape formatted on the Composite Materials
Interlacer originally consisted primarily of aerospace defense contractors
seeking a seamless composite material for use in wing skins on the advanced
design "next generation" tactical fighters then under development. The Composite
Materials Interlacer can format sheet goods up to ten feet wide and having
virtually any length, a significant advantage over other weaving technologies,
which generally cannot produce sheets wider than four feet. The use of the
Composite Materials Interlacer to date generally has been uneconomical, however,
except for a limited number of applications for customers in the aerospace
industry.
At the time of its initial public offering in July 1987, Quadrax was
focused on becoming an integral part of the advanced materials community serving
the defense industry. In subsequent years, the Company obtained contracts from
defense contractors and airframe manufacturers for the sale of Quadrax Biaxial
Tape for evaluation and test purposes.
As defense funding for advanced research was curtailed in the late 1980s
and early 1990s, a number of companies abandoned their participation in the
composite materials industry. Quadrax sought to take advantage of this situation
by acquiring manufacturing equipment and a license of related technology in the
manufacture of thermoplastic composite materials from Phillips Petroleum Company
("Phillips") in 1992 and from Amoco Performance Products Inc. ("Amoco"), a
subsidiary of Amoco Corporation, in 1993. These acquisitions provided Quadrax
with the benefits of research and development conducted over the course of
several years, as well as additional defense industry contacts and a database of
materials performance specifications.
The Phillips and Amoco acquisitions provided Quadrax with the ability to
fabricate tape marketed under the brand name "Quadrax aXial Tape." Quadrax aXial
Tape enabled the Company to begin
21
<PAGE> 23
redirecting its business from defense to commercial and consumer applications.
Quadrax initially targeted sporting goods applications, because it believed that
the improved performance characteristics offered by Quadrax Composites could
overcome the cost premium of its materials and the familiarity of customers with
more conventional composite materials.
In mid-1993, Quadrax signed a joint development and exclusive
manufacturing contract with Kunnan Enterprise Limited ("Kunnan"), a Taiwanese
corporation that is one of the largest manufacturers of tennis racquets in the
world. Kunnan markets products under its house brands (such as "Kennex" and
"ProKennex") and serves as an original equipment manufacturer for other
internationally recognized brands. Quadrax completed the design, development and
prototype production of tennis racquet frames made of Quadrax Composites. In
light of a soft worldwide market for tennis racquets, however, Kunnan determined
not to commit the resources necessary to bring the racquet to market.
As a result of its joint development and manufacturing relationship with
Kunnan, Quadrax developed technologies that can be utilized for manufacturing
value-added products from Quadrax Composites for a number of sporting goods
markets. One of the Company's strategies is to focus its resources on the
design, development and prototyping of these sporting goods products in order to
demonstrate the performance attributes of Quadrax Composites and to build demand
for the Company's materials. The Company will then determine on a
product-by-product basis whether to undertake manufacturing of a product or
component, outsource manufacturing once commercial production levels are
achieved or seek to enter into strategic relationships with established
companies with experience in manufacturing and marketing for the relevant
market.
In November 1994, Quadrax took a number of steps aimed at accelerating the
redirection of its business:
- The Company acquired from Time Sports, Inc., a subsidiary of Kunnan,
the exclusive rights in the United States and Canada to make and
market tennis racquets under the "Wimbledon" brand name and to make
and market certain apparel under the "Wimbledon" brand name, all
pursuant to an underlying licensing agreement with the All-England
Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club of Wimbledon, England. In connection with
the acquisition of the Wimbledon license rights, Quadrax also
acquired certain other assets and assumed certain liabilities of Time
Sports, Inc. The Company believes that the acquisition of the
Wimbledon license rights has provided Quadrax with immediate brand
name recognition within the tennis industry.
- The Company acquired all of the stock of McManis Sports, a recently
organized development stage company that had been formed to design and
develop golf clubs. This acquisition provided the Company with lines of
golf products, including irons marketed under the "Tour Technology" and
other brand names, as well as expertise in the design and development
of golf equipment. See "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS--Pattinson Hayton, III and
Affiliates."
- Quadrax signed two joint development/exclusive manufacturing contracts
with Cannondale Corporation, a manufacturer of high-performance
bicycles. These contracts call for the design, development and
production of bicycle frames, forks and other components using Quadrax
Composites. The Company currently estimates that prototypes of these
components will be completed in the second half of 1995.
In February 1995, the Company entered into a joint design/exclusive
manufacturing contract with Brine, Inc., a supplier of lacrosse equipment in the
United States, under which the Company has completed
22
<PAGE> 24
testing of lacrosse sticks and commenced shipments in April 1995. The Company is
currently working to develop the manufacturing process necessary to produce
lacrosse equipment in quantity.
As Quadrax progresses from the development of prototypes to the production
of finished products and components, it will continue to be dependent on outside
financing sources. The Company raised approximately $5 million of equity capital
in fiscal 1994 and an additional $3.7 million through sales of Common Stock
during the first half of fiscal 1995. It expects to raise approximately $1.5
million through additional equity sales during the remainder of 1995 and
believes that these funds, together with cash provided by revenues, will be
sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal
1995. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources."
TECHNOLOGIES
CORE TECHNOLOGIES
The Company is simultaneously exploiting three distinct, but intimately
related, core technologies:
- fabrication of thermoplastic composite tapes and laminates;
- design, development and prototype production of piece parts made out of
thermoplastic composite tapes and laminates; and
- manufacture of piece parts using thermoplastic composite materials.
Quadrax is seeking to deliver the performance advantages of Quadrax
Composites to the market place in one or more of three formats:
- as a material to be engineered by the customer;
- as a fully engineered piece part that can be manufactured by the
customer in its own operations; or
- as piece parts manufactured by Quadrax for incorporation by the
customer into a finished product.
Quadrax fabricates and formats several standard tape products for which
data sheets have been prepared, including tape formats sold under the brand name
"Quadrax aXial Tape" ("QXT") and broad sheet goods sold under the brand name
"Quadrax Biaxial Tape" ("QBT"). In addition, tape products can be customized
through varying combinations of fibers, resins, fiber areal weight and resin
percentages in order to meet customers' specific needs.
The Company also seeks new product applications for its materials through
its new Quadrax Professional Design ("QuadPro-D") program. QuadPro-D makes the
Company's experience in thermoplastic composites available on a contract basis
for the design, development and prototype production of piece parts manufactured
to the customer's specifications using Quadrax Composite materials. Successful
completion of a QuadPro-D contract is expected to result in either new orders
for materials (in either QXT or QBT format) or production orders for piece parts
manufactured by Quadrax.
The third principal product line offered by the Company is manufacturing
services. For customers who want the performance advantages of Quadrax
Composites, but do not want to establish their own
23
<PAGE> 25
manufacturing facility, Quadrax will contract to produce quantities of piece
parts to the customers' specifications. Manufacturing services offered by the
Company include thermoformed or compression molded flat laminates, rolled
laminates, and preformed parts.
Although the Company's primary product focus is on materials, design
services and manufacturing services, it also promotes two consumer brands: the
Wimbledon brand of tennis racquets and related items, which Quadrax markets
under license from the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, and a line of
golf clubs, principally putters and irons, marketing under the McManis Sports
label. Some of the products offered under the Wimbledon and McManis labels,
principally tennis racquet frames and putter heads, are manufactured out of
Quadrax Composites, while others are made out of conventional materials.
These technologies are based on insights into the chemical processes by
which a variety of man-made polymer resins (plastics) can be made to bond with
continuous fibers to produce a material that is strong, lightweight, easy to
handle, and easy to shape using modified conventional heat and compression
molding techniques. This material is also distinguished by the manner in which
it bends on impact, providing it with strength, durability and vibration
dampening characteristics that the Company believes will also provide
significant advantages in the manufacture of other sporting equipment such as
lacrosse sticks.
The principal fibers used in making Quadrax Composites are carbon, glass
and aramid (for example, duPont's brand of aramid fiber that it markets under
the name "Kevlar").
FUNCTIONAL ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF QUADRAX COMPOSITES
The principal functional advantage offered by Quadrax Composites is the
ability to provide equivalent strength at lower weights than competing
materials. By varying mixes of resin, fiber, fiber areal weight, resin
percentage, number of plies, and axial orientation of the different plies,
Quadrax can deliver materials that meet a wide range of minimum threshold
strength requirements at a fraction of the weight of more conventional materials
such as steel and aluminum.
Quadrax Composites use continuous fibers aligned at uniform intervals
parallel to a single axis of orientation within the polymer resin matrix,
permitting the formation of tape of virtually any length. The result is a
material that presents a uniformly high strength profile along the longitudinal
axis, making it possible to design a multiple ply material that displays very
precisely engineered structural properties along its entire planar horizon.
Quadrax Composites can be engineered to deliver a variety of other
characteristics, including chemical stability (no rust), moisture and heat
resistance (no rotting or, within certain tolerances, melting), vibration
dampening, and electrical insulation. Unlike epoxy-based composite materials,
Quadrax Composites are fully recyclable. Scrap material can be ground up, melted
down and reformed using conventional compression and injection molding
techniques, retaining sufficient strength and other structural characteristics
to make it suitable for use in a wide variety of "lower tier" applications.
Quadrax Composites are thermoplastic, so they will lose their shape under
prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Like all composites, they are
fiber-reinforced and therefore subject to disintegration through abrasion that
exposes the fibers. These disadvantages are irrelevant for most structural
applications, but limit the utility of Quadrax Composites in high-temperature
applications.
24
<PAGE> 26
APPLICATIONS
The high strength-to-weight ratio and other functional advantages of
Quadrax Composites make them superior structural materials for a wide range of
applications. The Company has targeted a number of applications for which high
strength-to-weight ratios are critical, including:
- athletic and recreational equipment, such as racquet frames, lacrosse
and hockey sticks, bats, bicycle frames, and panel and frame
assemblies for a wide variety of recreational vehicles;
- truck and trailer components and systems; and
- military equipment, primarily outer body panels and reinforcing
members for aircraft, armored vehicles and marine vessels.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
The characteristics of Quadrax Composites offer several processing
efficiencies that enable Quadrax Composites to present an attractive
price/performance profile, when measured on a total-cost-of-finished-goods
basis. These characteristics include:
- their light weight, which makes Quadrax Composites easy to move and
handle;
- structural characteristics that make them easy to form using modified
conventional cutting, thermoforming or compression molding techniques;
- their chemical stability, which makes Quadrax Composites easy and
quick to process with virtually no restrictions on shelf life, no
lengthy cure periods, no toxicity, and no refrigerated storage
requirements; and
- for certain resins, the ability of Quadrax Composites to be bonded
through heat and pressure alone, without the need for glues or other
bonding agents.
Quadrax Composites, like most composites, are more expensive than
competing conventional materials. Quadrax Composites also suffer from
institutional resistance to working with new materials and to investing in the
re-tooling needed to integrate the materials into existing product and
production lines. The Company believes that these disadvantages will dissipate
over time as Quadrax Composites gain recognition in the marketplace and as
economies of scale lower unit costs.
See "--Competition--Materials Competition."
MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
PRODUCTION
Materials, Machinery, Energy and Personnel. All materials, machinery,
energy and personnel needed to build and operate production facilities at
Quadrax are readily available from conventional sources, with specialized
expertise limited to the proprietary processes themselves. Raw materials consist
only of fibers and resins produced by a number of established chemical companies
and sold primarily for applications other than composites. Machinery
requirements are limited to tape fabrication lines (which are specially
assembled using conventional machinery), molds and dies (which are custom-made,
using conventional
25
<PAGE> 27
machine tool technologies) and various die cutters, thermoformers, ovens and
presses that are in common use throughout the plastics industry.
All machinery and processes are powered by electricity, which is available
in adequate quantities from the local utility. Production personnel include
materials and process engineers, skilled and semi-skilled machine operators, and
various shop hands. The Company believes that any necessary additional
production personnel can be recruited at competitive rates from within the
existing plastics, defense and general manufacturing communities.
Physical Plant and Processing Systems. Production of Quadrax Composites
and pre-formed parts is a light manufacturing process. The three principal steps
in the process are:
- tape fabrication -- typically a water- and heat-based process in which
fibers are imbedded in the resin matrix;
- lay-up -- either a manual or mechanical process, depending on design
specifications, in which multiple layers of tape are assembled to
present the required strength, flexibility and other engineering
characteristics; and
- consolidation -- a heat- and pressure-based process through which
lay-ups are fused to form laminated material.
These processes typically are completed at Quadrax's manufacturing facilities in
Portsmouth, Rhode Island. See "--Facilities."
Quadrax is developing the capacity to thermoform or compression mold
customer-specified component parts or frame assemblies on proof-of-concept,
pre-production prototype and pilot production bases at its Portsmouth facility.
Quadrax currently contemplates that it will outsource parts manufacturing once
commercial production levels are achieved.
DISTRIBUTION
Inventories. Quadrax maintains a small inventory of fabricated tape in
standard configurations at its Portsmouth facility. Sheet goods and pre-formed
parts are manufactured on a contract basis only. Finished goods (currently
limited to tennis and golf equipment) are outsourced either overseas or
domestically, and drop-shipped to the wholesale/retail distributor as orders are
received.
Delivery and Installation. Unlike thermoset composite materials systems,
Quadrax Composites do not require refrigeration or other special handling. They
can be boxed and shipped by express delivery or common carrier at standard
ground rates.
Customer Service and Support. Members of Quadrax's engineering staff are
available to visit a customer and consult on proper processing techniques or
special engineering challenges, on an as-needed basis, but generally post-sale
support is not required.
PRODUCT LINE
Quadrax fabricates and formats several standard Quadrax Composites tape
products for which data sheets have been prepared, including tape formats sold
under the brand name "Quadrax aXial Tape" and tapes sold in broad sheet format
under the brand name "Quadrax Biaxial Tape." In addition, Quadrax
26
<PAGE> 28
Composites tape products can be customized through varying combinations of
resins, fibers, fiber areal weights and resin percentages in order to meet
customers' specific needs.
Although Quadrax's initial proprietary expertise was in the fabrication
and formatting of composite tape products, the Company is expanding its range of
know-how and capabilities to include expertise in finished goods and piece parts
for the consumer sporting goods market:
- The Company is currently marketing a high-performance model of tennis
racquet, the "Conqueror," under the Wimbledon brand name. This racquet
model features "Dynamic Positioning," a strategic use of weight
distribution that takes advantage of the strength-to-weight advantages
of Quadrax Composites. As a result of its acquisition of Wimbledon
license rights, the Company is also selling tennis-related soft goods
in the United States under the "Wimbledon" brand name.
- The Company has completed a prototype for lacrosse stick handles
utilizing Quadrax Composites. These handles are being developed under
a joint design/exclusive manufacturing contract entered into in
February 1995 with Brine, Inc. The Company commenced shipping lacrosse
stick handles to Brine, Inc. in the second quarter of 1995.
- The acquisition of McManis Sports provided Quadrax with golf product
lines that include irons marketed under the "Tour Technology" and
other brand names. These irons do not incorporate Quadrax Composites.
The Company expects to commence a mass marketing campaign for Tour
Technology irons in August 1995. Using design and development
expertise obtained in the McManis Sports transaction, the Company has
completed a prototype of a putter produced with Quadrax Composites and
is seeking to enter into a strategic marketing relationship with a
company that is established in the golf equipment market.
- Quadrax has signed two joint development/exclusive manufacturing
contracts with Cannondale Corporation, a manufacturer of
high-performance bicycles. These contracts call for the design,
development and production of bicycle frames, forks and other
components using Quadrax Composites. The Company has
computer-engineered the design of the bicycle frames and forks, and
currently estimates that prototypes of these components will be
completed in the second half of 1995. If the Company is successful in
timely providing frames and forks that meet contractual
specifications, Cannondale Corporation will be contractually obligated
to purchase specified quantities of components from Quadrax over an
18-month period. The development and production of these components
will require the Company to design and implement new production
processes different from those used in connection with the Company's
other finished goods. To date, the Company has not been able to meet
contractual specifications on a timely basis, and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in meeting the
contractual specifications at all.
The Company seeks to identify, on a regular basis, additional sports equipment
that may benefit from the functional advantages of Quadrax Composites.
In producing tennis and golf equipment, the Company intends to integrate
production vertically, from the manufacture of the feedstock materials (Quadrax
Composites) through distribution to product retailers. With respect to other
finished goods for the sporting goods markets, however, the Company currently
anticipates that it will seek to enter into strategic development and marketing
relationships, such as those
27
<PAGE> 29
with Brine, Inc. and Cannondale Corporation. This strategy will facilitate the
Company's entry into new sporting goods markets in a cost-effective manner, by
enabling the Company to focus its resources on applications for its tape
products. The Company believes that this approach will increase demand for the
Company's tape products both directly, by creating needs for specific components
and goods, and indirectly, by demonstrating the advantages and potential of
Quadrax Composites.
Quadrax continues to supply advanced composite materials systems to
branches of the United States military through three materials supply contracts
with defense contractors. Under these contracts, Quadrax Composites are being
incorporated in:
- the F-22 "Air Superiority" tactical fighter being produced by Lockheed
Aeronautical Systems Company under contract with the United States Air
Force;
- the Seawolf class of submarines being constructed by the Electric Boat
Division of General Dynamics Corporation under contract with the
United States Navy; and
- the "Composite Armored Vehicle," an experimental armored troop carrier
(known as CAV) being developed by United Defense LP under contract
with the United States Army.
MARKETS
ATHLETIC AND RECREATIONAL EQUIPMENT
Quadrax intends to execute a two-pronged marketing strategy in the
sporting goods market. In both cases, it is pursuing the same targeted market:
serious athletes, both professional and amateur, who are willing to pay a
premium for the better "feel" that Quadrax Composites can deliver.
A high profile approach is being launched through the Conqueror tennis
racquet and tennis-related soft goods being sold under the Wimbledon brand name.
This approach may also be used to market the golf club product lines obtained by
the Company through the acquisition of McManis Sports.
A lower profile approach is being implemented through joint development
and manufacturing contracts with leading suppliers of high-performance equipment
for various games and activities. The Company is currently engaged in a bicycle
frame and fork program with Cannondale Corporation and a lacrosse stick program
with Brine, Inc.
TRUCKS AND TRANSPORTATION
The truck and transportation market represents a medium- to long-term
opportunity for Quadrax. In May 1995, the Company entered into a product
development agreement with Wabash National Corporation that provides for the
design and prototype development of a specialized, lightweight system for use on
certain specialty trailers produced by Wabash National Corporation.
DEFENSE
Through a combination of internal initiatives and the acquisitions from
Phillips and Amoco, Quadrax has established itself as a supplier of advanced
composite materials systems to branches of the United States military. Quadrax
Composites are currently being incorporated in products provided under contracts
with
28
<PAGE> 30
the United States Air Force, the United States Navy and the United States Army.
The Company is selectively pursuing additional defense contracts, particularly
for products that will necessitate relatively short testing periods.
AEROSPACE
Quadrax continues to receive orders for unformatted Quadrax aXial Tape
from companies active in the non-defense aerospace industries. Most of these
orders have been, and any future orders are expected to be, for purposes of
testing and evaluation in connection with research and development products,
with a limited number of sales being made for commercial production purposes.
MARKETING AND SALES
REPUTATION
As one of a small number of fabricators in the relatively new
thermoplastic composite tapes market, Quadrax is often sought out by customers
interested in purchasing its tapes. This is particularly true in the defense
market, where Quadrax receives invitations to bid on projects in which Quadrax
Composites may be used to advantage, and in aerospace markets, where Quadrax
periodically receives unsolicited orders, usually from advanced prototyping
engineers purchasing the material for testing and evaluation. These orders
historically have not been received in volumes sufficient to support profitable
operations, and they are not expected to become profitable without an increase
in acceptance of Quadrax Composites by the market through successful marketing
of the Company's finished goods. See "--Product Line."
Quadrax works to maintain and enhance its reputation within these market
sectors by periodic advertising in trade publications, the regular submission of
technical papers for publication in professional journals and frequent
attendance at industry conferences, conventions and trade shows.
DIRECT SALES
Quadrax's marketing and sales programs are the responsibility of its Vice
President--Sales and Marketing, who, supported by the Company's engineering
staff and other sales personnel, is charged with calling directly on decision
makers at manufacturing companies that the Company has identified as attractive
candidates for the incorporation of components made out of Quadrax Composites
into finished goods or parts assemblies. The Company is currently seeking to
develop off-site sales locations at which Quadrax employees will solicit sales
from assigned geographic territories.
CONSUMER MARKETING
With the acquisitions of McManis Sports and the Wimbledon licensing rights
previously held by Time Sports, Inc., Quadrax added expertise to assist it in
its efforts to begin marketing finished goods directly to consumers. The Company
distributes its tennis equipment through specialty retailers (such as pro
shops), with sales being supported by limited-scope promotional campaigns. The
Company contemplates that distribution of golf equipment will initially be made
through specialty retailers, with support from a mass marketing campaign to
commence in August 1995. Promotional campaigns for tennis and golf equipment may
include sponsoring tournaments and other competitive events, high-profile
advertisements in limited circulation specialty magazines, and other techniques
calculated to associate the Quadrax name with a performance advantage.
29
<PAGE> 31
COMPETITION
MATERIALS COMPETITION
Thermoplastic composites (such as Quadrax Composites) compete with
conventional materials (including wood, stone, steel and aluminum), less common
metals such as titanium, and thermoset (epoxy-based) composites. The materials
considered by Quadrax to be most vulnerable to displacement are thermosets.
Thermosets are an earlier form of polymer resin/fiber matrix composite material
that are the accepted standard for a variety of sporting goods and recreational
equipment. Weight savings alone will not give thermoplastics the edge over
thermosets, but improved strength, durability and vibration dampening qualities,
combined with the ability to achieve a strategic distribution of weight through
the precision engineering of Quadrax aXial Tape, can provide an improved "feel"
and more precise control, particularly in the critical follow-through swing. In
addition, thermoplastics are safer to manufacture and use.
Compared with metals such as steel and, to a lesser extent, aluminum and
titanium, thermoplastic composites offer substantial weight savings at
equivalent tensile and mechanical strength levels, making thermoplastic
composites easier to handle and transport. Since thermoplastic composites do not
oxidize, they do not require paints or other special coatings as protection
against rust or corrosion, making them cheaper to maintain. Compared with wood
and other laminates, thermoplastic composites offer substantial weight savings
and, more importantly, structural characteristics that enable them easily to
assume almost any shape through heat and compression molding, while presenting
aesthetic and acoustic qualities comparable to wood. The primary competitive
disadvantage of thermoplastic composites is their comparatively high cost.
SUPPLIER COMPETITION
Composite materials are an emerging industry, and it is difficult to
identify those competitors that will be the most successful. A significant part
of the early discovery and development work in thermoplastic composites was
performed by major international oil companies, many of which subsequently
exited the business as the size of the defense market decreased. Three of the
largest multinational chemical companies -- E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.,
Imperial Chemical Industries PLC and Saint Goban -- continue to develop
composite product offerings that may compete with the Company's product
offerings. The Company faces potential competition from new companies as well as
established companies that may migrate from related industries. Many of the
Company's current and prospective competitors, including E.I. du Pont de Nemours
& Co., Imperial Chemical Industries PLC and Saint Goban, have significantly
greater financial, manufacturing and marketing resources than the Company. There
can be no assurance that the Company's products will compete effectively with
products offered by established and new competitors of the Company.
The Company believes that its ability to compete depends on elements both
within and outside its control, including the success and timing of new product
development and introduction by the Company and its competitors, product
performance and price, distribution and customer support. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully with respect to
these factors. Although the Company believes that it has certain technological
and other advantages over its competitors, maintaining such advantages will
require continued investment by the Company in design and development, sales and
marketing and customer service and support. There can be no assurance that the
Company will have sufficient resources to make such investments or that the
Company will be able to make the technological advances necessary to maintain
such competitive advantages. In addition, as the Company enters new markets,
distribution channels, technical requirements and levels and bases of
competition may
30

be different than those in the Company's current markets and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete favorably.
FACILITIES
The Company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities are
located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in a leased building comprising
approximately 49,000 square feet. The Company has occupied all or a portion of
this building since the building was constructed in 1988. In connection with its
initial lease of the facilities, the Company acquired a one-third interest as a
limited partner in the limited partnership that owns the building and pledged a
$250,000 certificate of deposit to secure its obligations to the institution
that provided construction financing for the building. Under the terms of a
revised operating lease executed in October 1993, the Company agreed to lease
the Portsmouth building at an annual rent of approximately $100,000 for a
ten-year term expiring in 2003. The Company has responsibility for all repairs,
maintenance and operating expenses for the building during the lease term. In
connection with the execution of the revised lease, the Company's pledge of its
$250,000 certificate of deposit was released and the Company advanced $250,000
to the limited partnership. Under the revised lease, Quadrax has the right to
purchase the building at any time during the lease term for a price of
approximately $1,000,000 (approximately 50% of the construction cost of the
building), a portion of which may be paid through cancellation of the advance to
the limited partnership.
The Company believes that its existing leased facilities are adequate to
meet its currently anticipated requirements and that suitable additional or
substitute facilities would be available if required.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to
claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The
Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome
of which, in management's opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have
a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.

1989 Stock Plan. The Quadrax Corporation 1989 Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan (the "1989 Stock Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors on November

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
PATTINSON HAYTON, III AND AFFILIATES
As a result of its inability to raise additional capital in the first
quarter of 1994, the Company and ALS entered into a senior loan agreement in
March 1994, under which ALS made a bridge loan of $1,000,000 to the Company. In
conjunction with the Senior Loan Agreement, the Board of Directors approved an
asset acquisition agreement pursuant to which ALS would have acquired all of the
assets in exchange for ALS stock. In May 1994 Quadrax and ALS mutually agreed to
terminate its proposed acquisition of the Company, and as a result the Company
required substantial additional capital to meet its operating expenses and
continue its operations.
On July 8, 1994, Pattinson Hayton, III, through Conagher, a California
corporation controlled by Mr. Hayton, purchased a majority of the Voting
Preferred Stock from the Company's founder and then Chief Executive Officer,
Richard A. Fisher. Conagher's ownership of the Voting Preferred Stock entitled
it to elect three-fifths of the Board of Directors until December 31, 1996.
Thereafter, on July 11, 1994, Mr. Hayton was elected by Conagher as a member of
the Board, and was nominated to serve as Chairman. William G. Conway and Sven
Kraumanis were also elected by Conagher, pursuant to the terms of the Voting
Preferred Stock, as members of the Company's then five-member Board.
Contemporaneous with the acquisition of the Voting Preferred Stock, Mr.
Hayton also agreed to purchase newly issued shares of Common Stock through
Conagher. Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated July 8, 1994, Conagher
purchased 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for a $3,000,000
promissory note from Conagher (the "July Promissory Note"), payable in five
equal consecutive monthly installments beginning August 16, 1994. Thereafter,
pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated August 26, 1994 and subsequently
amended on September 16, 1994, Conagher purchased an additional 2,250,000 shares
of Common Stock in exchange for a $4,500,000 promissory note from Conagher (the
"August Promissory Note"), payable in equal consecutive monthly installments
beginning October 30, 1994. Thus, as a result of these purchases, Conagher
acquired 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for promissory notes
aggregating $7,500,000.
In September 1994, Conagher satisfied its obligations under the July
Promissory Note by paying to the Company an aggregate of $1,742,675 and by
arranging for the discharge of notes payable by the Company to ALS in the amount
of $1,257,325. Conagher also made aggregate payments of approximately $3,500,000
in connection with the August Promissory Note. The remaining balance of
approximately $1,000,000, which was due and owing as of January 30, 1995, was
not paid by Conagher.
In connection with Conagher's failure to pay the balance due on the August
Promissory Note, the Company entered into negotiations which led to the
Settlement Agreement on February 13, 1995 with
39
<PAGE> 41
Conagher, Mr. Hayton, Richard A. Fisher, James J. Palermo, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, and Allied-Asian Consolidated Limited ("Allied"), a company
of which Mr. Hayton was a director and stockholder. Mr. Hayton was a director
and stockholder of Allied, one of the parties to the Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, record ownership of the Voting Preferred
Stock owned by Conagher was transferred to Mr. Palermo, as trustee for the
holders of Common Stock. Mr. Palermo is required to vote the Voting Preferred
Stock as directed by the holders of the Common Stock, and as a result holders of
Common Stock are now able to elect all of the Company's directors. In
conjunction with the acquisition of the Voting Preferred Stock from Conagher,
Mr. Palermo replaced Mr. Hayton as Chairman of the Board and Mr. Hayton resigned
as a director of the Company.
To induce Mr. Hayton to surrender the Voting Preferred Stock and to settle
outstanding obligations relating to Mr. Hayton's transactions in the Company's
securities and other obligations among the Company, Allied, Conagher, Mr.
Hayton, and Mr. Fisher, the Company agreed to issue to Allied 1,150,000
restricted shares of Common Stock. The Company, among other things, also agreed
to: (i) retain Allied or its nominee as a financial advisor and agent pursuant
to a Financial Advisor and Distribution Agreement (the "Advisor Agreement") for
the placement of a new class of preferred stock, (ii) assume the outstanding
obligations of Conagher to Mr. Fisher, including obligations represented by a
$750,000 promissory note issued to Mr. Fisher, and indemnify and hold harmless
Conagher, Allied and Mr. Hayton against any liability thereof, (iii) enter into
employment agreements with certain Company employees, (iv) transfer certain
office leases and equipment, automobile leases and insurance policies to Allied,
(v) assume liability for the lease of an automobile, and (vi) release Conagher,
Allied and Mr. Hayton and their successors, assigns, agents and attorneys from
any and all claims. The Company also agreed to cancel Conagher's remaining
payment obligations under the August Promissory Note in exchange for Allied's
execution and delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $621,563 (the
"February Promissory Note"), payable in installments with the final payment due
on January 1, 1997.
On February 28, 1995, Allied failed to pay $150,000 due under the February
Promissory Note. The Company subsequently declared Allied to be in default on
the note and the entire principal amount due and payable. In addition, the
Company determined not to pay Allied $10,000 that Allied claimed was due March
1, 1995 under the Advisor Agreement. In connection therewith, the Company
entered into the amendment dated March 17, 1995 with Allied, Conagher, Mr.
Hayton, Mr. Palermo and Mr. Fisher (the "Amendment") whereby (i) the Advisor
Agreement was terminated, (ii) the Company agreed to pay Allied 4 percent of any
net proceeds realized by the Company from the sale of any shares of any new
issue of preferred stock issued and sold by the Company between February 13,
1995 and May 19, 1995, (iii) Allied agreed to pay $150,000 to the Company upon
execution of the Amendment and to deliver a promissory note to the Company in
the amount of $311,563 in exchange for the cancellation of the February
Promissory Note. The sum of $311,563 was paid in full on April 3, 1995, as
required. Accordingly, all of the payment obligations of Allied under all of the
promissory notes issued in connection with the financing provided by Conagher
and Allied for the Company, and in connection with the Settlement Agreement and
the First Amendment thereto have been fully satisfied.
On various occasions beginning in April 1995, representatives of the
Company, Conagher, Allied and Mr. Hayton met and conferred regarding certain
matters, principally issues regarding expenses incurred by or on behalf of the
Company during the Company's fiscal year 1994 and the satisfaction of certain
obligations under the Settlement Agreement entered into on February 13, 1995 and
the First Amendment to the Settlement Agreement dated March 17, 1995 by Mr.
Hayton, Conagher and Allied, the Company and certain others.
In November, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
McManis, a manufacturer of and marketing representative for manufacturers of
golfing equipment, for $1,465,600 in Common Stock of the Company and $109,500 in
cash. In connection therewith, the Company issued to the designee of
40
<PAGE> 42
Allied 150,000 shares of common stock (see Notes 9 and 10 to Consolidated
Financial Statements) as compensation for acting as an agent in bringing this
opportunity to the Company. Also in November, 1994, the Company acquired certain
assets and liabilities of Time Sports, Inc. for approximately $360,000 in cash
and notes payable to facilitate transfer of a license to use the Wimbledon
trademark. The Company issued 100,000 shares of Common Stock to the designee of
Allied (see Notes 9 and 10 to Consolidated Financial Statements) as compensation
for acting as an agent in bringing this opportunity to the Company. The total
value of the 250,000 shares of stock issued to the designee of Allied as
compensation in connection with these has been expensed in fiscal year 1994 as a
financing-related cost (see Notes 9 and 10 to Consolidated Financial
Statements).
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND FIVE PERCENT STOCKHOLDERS
The Company is a party to certain employment and termination arrangements
with James J. Palermo, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, David Park, the Vice President-Production of the Company and
Richard A. Fisher, the former Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and
General Counsel of the Company. See "MANAGEMENT--Compensation Plans and
Arrangements--Employment and Termination Arrangements."
In addition, two other former executive officers of the Company terminated
their employment with the Company during fiscal 1994. Andrew J. MacGowan, the
former Senior Vice President of the Company, entered into a Release, Settlement
and Severance Agreement with the Company and Mr. Fisher effective July 5, 1994,
pursuant to which Mr. MacGowan (i) relinquished his employment agreement with
the Company, which agreement provided a base annual salary of $175,000 through
December 31, 1994 and severance payments at the rate of his base salary for two
years after termination, (ii) relinquished his Special Termination Agreement
with the Company, which agreement provided for termination benefits equal to
three times his base salary in the event of a change-in-control, and (iii)
provided the Company with a general release of any claim. In exchange, the
Company agreed to (a) pay Mr. MacGowan $150,000 in 60 bi-weekly installments of
$2,500 each, (b) accelerate all non-vested options previously granted to Mr.
MacGowan, and (c) provide Mr. MacGowan with a general release of any claims.
Joseph R. Langley, the former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
of the Company, entered into a letter agreement with the Company effective May
5, 1994, pursuant to which Mr. Langley (i) resigned his office as Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer, (ii) continued as an employee of the Company for 90
days at his then-effective salary of $69,000 per year, (iii) relinquished his
rights under his Special Termination Agreement, and (iv) received reissued
options to acquire 10,505 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.56 per share.
In May, 1995, the Company and Mr. Langley entered into a two-year consulting
agreement pursuant to which Mr. Langley agreed to provide services relating to
accounting and financial matters in exchange for compensation consisting of a
fully vested option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of
$1.81 per share.
From January 1994 to May 1994, the Company retained J.P. Associates, Inc.
to provide operational consulting services. Aggregate fees under this
arrangement totalled $60,000 in fiscal 1994. Mr. Palermo was a Principal of J.P
Associates from January 1990 to May 1994; John A. McQuade, the Vice President
and Chief Administrative Officer of the Company, was Executive Vice President of
J.P. Associates from October 1990 to May 1994; and Harry A. Schult, the Acting
Chief Financial Officer of the Company from May 1994 to August 1994, was a
Principal of J.P. Associates from October 1993 to May 1994.
During fiscal 1994, Mr. Fisher exercised options covering 240,000 shares
of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $338,000. Between January 1,
1995 and June 30, 1995, Mr. Fisher exercised options covering 216,326 shares of
Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $337,469. The
41
<PAGE> 43
purchase price was paid by Mr. Fisher's delivery of promissory notes in
accordance with the terms of his severance agreement.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company assumed the
outstanding obligations owed by Allied to Mr. Fisher and executed and delivered
to Mr. Fisher a promissory note in the amount of $750,000. The principal amount
outstanding is payable in ten equal monthly installments, which began on April
7, 1995, and interest on unpaid principal and interest is payable monthly at
the rate of eight percent per year. The note is subject to mandatory prepayment
in part in the event that the Company consummates certain equity financings,
and certain installment payments on the note are subject to deferral in the
event the Company's available working capital (as defined) is less than
$500,000. In addition, as part of this transaction, all of the outstanding
shares of Voting Preferred Stock were transferred to James J. Palermo as
Trustee for the holders of Common Stock. In connection with the execution of
the Settlement Agreement, a Declaration of Trust dated February 13, 1995 was
delivered, pursuant to which the Trustee is obligated to vote the shares of
Voting Preferred Stock as instructed by the holders of Common Stock. Under the
original terms of such Declaration of Trust, the Trustee would have been
required to vote the shares of Voting Preferred Stock in accordance with the
instructions of Mr. Fisher if, at the time of a vote, the Company had omitted
to pay any three installments of principal due under a promissory note issued
by the Company to Mr. Fisher in connection with the Settlement Agreement (the
"Promissory Note"). As a result, Mr. Fisher might have been able to elect
three-fifths of the Board of Directors and control certain matters requiring
approval of the stockholders of the Company.
On July 13, 1995, the Company, Mr. Fisher and the Trustee entered into an
agreement (the "Repayment Agreement") providing for the termination as of such
date of Mr. Fisher's contingent rights to instruct the Trustee as to the voting
of the Voting Preferred Stock and the amendment of the payment terms of the
Promissory Note. Under the Repayment Agreement, each of the scheduled monthly
principal installments has been deferred by one month until, as of the date of
this Prospectus, the outstanding principal of and accrued interest on the
Promissory Note was paid or shall be paid through the issuance of an estimated
275,000 of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. A cash adjustment will be
payable by Quadrax to Mr. Fisher (or by Mr. Fisher to Quadrax) in the event that
the total net proceeds received by Mr. Fisher from the sale of such shares
pursuant to this Prospectus are less than (or greater than) the outstanding
principal of and accrued interest on the Promissory Note as of the date of this
Prospectus.
Gordon Werner, a director of the Company from May 1994 to July 1994 and
from April 1995 to date, has entered into a letter agreement with the Company
dated March 28, 1995 whereby he will receive a success fee of 4% of the net
proceeds that the Company receives from financing sources introduced to the
Company by Mr. Werner. Pursuant to this letter agreement, Mr. Werner was paid
$55,800 in June 1995 in connection with a sale of preferred stock by the Company
that generated gross proceeds of $1,500,000. The Company has a commitment for
the purchase of additional shares of preferred stock that would generate an
additional $1,500,000 in gross proceeds; if this sale is consummated, Mr. Werner
would be entitled to an additional payment of approximately $55,800.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
$.000009 par value per share. As of July 7, 1995, there were 14,298,326 shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding and held of record by approximately 1,475
stockholders.
Subject to the voting rights that are granted to the holders of the Voting
Preferred Stock as described below, which rights are currently being exercised
by a trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Common Stock, the holders of
Common Stock have one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be
voted on by stockholders, including the election of directors. Stockholders are
not entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and,
upon liquidation of the Company, to share ratably in the net assets available
for distribution after the payment of any liquidation preferences to the holders
of preferred stock. Shares of Common Stock are not redeemable and have no
preemptive, conversion or similar rights. All outstanding shares of Common Stock
are, and the Shares offered hereby upon issuance and receipt of payment in full
by the Company will be, fully paid and nonassessable.
VOTING PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 1,172 shares of the Voting Preferred
Stock. As of July 7, 1995, there were 319.9 shares of the Voting Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding, all of which were held in a voting trust for the benefit
of the holders of Common Stock and for which James J. Palermo is the trustee
(the "Trustee"). The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Voting
Preferred Stock (currently, the Trustee) elect three-fifths of the Company's
Board of Directors until December 31, 1996, at which time the class of the
Voting Preferred Stock is to be automatically canceled under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation. Prior to December 31, 1996, the Voting Preferred
Stock is to be voted by the Trustee as directed by the holders of Common Stock,
such that the holders of Common Stock will elect all of the directors of the
Company.
Holders of the Voting Preferred Stock have no other voting rights (subject
to the provisions of Delaware law), are not entitled to receive any dividends,
and have a liquidation preference of $.01 per share.
Each share of Voting Preferred Stock is convertible into 178.5 shares of
Common Stock (57,102 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate) at the option of
the holder. If converted upon expiration on December 31, 1996, the Common Stock
issued will become treasury stock.
CLASS A PREFERRED STOCK
The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to
10,000,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the
"Class A Preferred Stock"). Under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation,
the Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by
law, without stockholder approval, to issue such shares of the Class A Preferred
Stock in one or more series. Each such series of the Class A Preferred Stock
shall have such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including
voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and
liquidation preferences, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
49
<PAGE> 51
The purpose of authorizing the Board of Directors to issue Class A
Preferred Stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays
associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of Class
A Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with
possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of
making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a
third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the
Company.
In June 1995, the Board of Directors established a series of Class A
Preferred Stock called "Class A Preferred Stock - First Series" and consisting
of 300,000 shares, $10.00 par value per share (the "First Series Stock"). The
First Series Stock is convertible at the option of the holders on and after the
forty-first day following issuance into a number of shares of Common Stock that
can be purchased for a price equal to seventy percent of the closing bid price
of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date.
If not previously converted, the First Series Stock is automatically convertible
according to the above formula on the second anniversary of the date of
issuance. Holders of First Series Stock have no voting rights (subject to the
provisions of Delaware law) and have no preferences as to dividends or in
liquidation. As of July 7, 1995, there were 150,000 shares of First Series Stock
issued and outstanding and held of record by one stockholder.
WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
At July 7, 1995, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 2,021,850
shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $9.17 per share
and approximately 1,468,477 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance
under the Company's stock option plans, all which were outstanding as of that
date at a weighted average exercise price of $2.04 per share. See "RISK
FACTORS--Potential Dilution." Shares of Common Stock underlying a total of
approximately 3,220,327 warrants and options have been previously registered
under the Securities Act and, upon acquisition through the exercise thereof,
will be freely transferable.
BLAIR UNIT PURCHASE OPTION
In connection with the Company's offering of Senior Convertible Notes in
1992, D.H. Blair & Co., Inc., ("Blair"), the Company's placement agent for its
initial public offering in 1987, asserted a right of first refusal to act as
placement agent for the Company's 1992 offering of Senior Convertible Notes. To
settle this dispute, and in exchange for a general release from Blair of any
other claims it may have against the Company, the Company issued a "Unit
Purchase Option" to Blair in December 1992. The Unit Purchase Option entitles
Blair to purchase 6,466 units for $16.50 per unit. Each unit consists of 3
shares of Common Stock and an A Warrant, which entitles the holder to purchase a
second unit which consists of 3 shares of Common Stock and a B Warrant. Each B
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 3 shares of Common Stock. Each A Warrant
is exercisable at $17.00 per Unit, and each B Warrant is exercisable at $23.70
per share. The Company granted to Blair, or its assignee, certain "demand" and
"piggyback" registration rights regarding the securities comprising the Unit
Purchase Option. The Unit Purchase Option, the A Warrants and the B Warrants
expire on September 1, 1997.
CLASS C WARRANTS
The Company's Class C Warrants are registered under the Securities Act and
trade on the Nasdaq Market under the trading symbol "QDRXZ." The Class C
Warrants provide for adjustment of the exercise price and for a change in the
number of shares issuable upon exercise to protect holders against dilution in
the event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination or reclassification of
the Common Stock or upon issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash
consideration at prices lower than 133% of the warrant exercise price then in
effect, subject to a number of exceptions, including issuances of Common Stock
upon
50
<PAGE> 52
exercise of stock options. As of the date hereof, Class C Warrant certificates
have been issued which, with adjustments for dilution, entitle the holders to
purchase, in the aggregate, approximately 484,716 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $7.95 per share.
CLASS D WARRANTS
In connection with the Company's private placement of 10% Notes in January
1993, the Company issued warrants to subscribers to purchase, in the aggregate,
322,500 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $5.50 per share (the "Class D
Warrants"). The Class D Warrants do not contain any anti-dilution provisions,
although the Company is required to give holders of the Class D Warrants notice
in the event the Company declares a dividend on its Common Stock, and holders
may exchange their Class D Warrants for other appropriate securities in the
event of merger, reclassification and similar events. The shares of Common Stock
underlying the Class D Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act.
The Class D Warrants expire on August 31, 1997.
CLASS E AND F WARRANTS
In connection with a $4,640,000 private placement of Common Stock in May
1993, the Company issued 819,527 Class E Common Stock Purchase Warrants
exercisable at $10.00 per share and 819,527 Class F Common Stock Purchase
Warrants exercisable at $15.00 per share. Subsequently, the Company issued an
additional 30,000 Class E Warrants and Class F Warrants. Approximately 200,000
of the Class E Warrants were exercised in October 1993 at a reduced offering
price of $5.50 per share, and the remainder expired on December 31, 1994. All
the Class F Warrants are outstanding and expire on March 31, 1997.
MISCELLANEOUS WARRANTS
The Company has issued additional warrants to purchase shares of Common
Stock, as follows: 23,000 shares at $5.50 per share, expiring November 1996;
270,000 shares at $3.00 per share, expiring November 1999; and 13,913 shares at
$7.19 per share, expiring May 1998.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Pursuant to the terms of a Unit Purchase Option that was granted by the
Company to D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp. ("D.H. Blair") on September 1,
1992, D.H. Blair has the right to require the Company to file a registration
statement to register all or any of the 64,660 Units underlying the Unit
Purchase Option, the 19,398 shares of Common Stock and 19,398 Class A Warrants
included in the Units, the 19,398 shares of Common Stock and 19,398 Class B
Warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Class A Warrants, and the 19,398
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Class B Warrants
(collectively, the "Registrable Securities") one time prior to September 1,
1997. The Company must keep such registration statement effective for a period
of at least six months, and for up to an additional three months if requested by
D.H. Blair. In addition, if the Company files a registration statement before
September 1, 1997, D.H. Blair has the right to include the Registrable
Securities in such registration to the extent the registration statement is a
permissible form therefor.
In connection with Company's $500,000 offering of unsecured promissory
notes and common stock described in a Confidential Offering Memorandum dated
July 22, 1994, the holders (the "Holders") of 20 Units, each Unit consisting of
a promissory note and 5,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon maturity of
such promissory note, have the right to demand that the Company file a
registration statement to register all of the Common Stock to be issued in
connection with the Units. In addition, upon written request of the Holders, the
Company must use its best efforts to cause all of the shares of Common Stock
51
<PAGE> 53
issuable in connection with the Units to be registered on any registration
statement the Company proposes to file before August 1, 1996.
Pursuant to the terms of a Stock Option Agreement dated May 3, 1993, Wall
Street Consultants, Inc. has the right through May 3, 2000 to include 13,913
shares of Common Stock in any registration statement (other than as to
securities issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan or as to a merger,
acquisition or similar transaction subject to Rule 145 promulgated under the
Securities Act) filed by the Company.
Certain of the Company's other stockholders have the right to include
additional shares of Common Stock in any registration statement filed by the
Company, to the extent such registration statement is a permissible form
therefor.
DELAWARE LAW AND CERTAIN CHARTER AND BY-LAW PROVISIONS
The Company is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware. Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested
stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in
which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business
combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business combination"
includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial
benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an
"interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the
corporation's voting stock.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains certain provisions
permitted under the General Corporation Law of Delaware relating to the
liability of directors. The provisions eliminate a director's liability for
monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty, except in certain circumstances
involving wrongful acts, such as the breach of a director's duty of loyalty or
acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law. Further, the Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions to indemnify
the Company's directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of Delaware.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This Prospectus, and the Registration Statement of which it is a part, is
in furtherance of a "shelf" registration pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated by the
Commission under the Securities Act. The Company intends to keep the "shelf"
registration effective for a period of at least 180 days after the date on which
the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, or such
shorter period that will terminate when all securities covered by the
Registration Statement have been sold.
The shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders, or
by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may
be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise
at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current
market price, or in negotiated transactions. The shares may be sold by one or
more of the following: (a) a block trade in which the broker or dealer so
engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases
by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) an exchange distribution in accordance
with the rules of such exchange; and (d) ordinary brokerage transactions and
transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. In effecting sales,
brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other
brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers will receive commissions
or discounts from Selling Stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately
prior to the sale. Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers
or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") in connection with such sales. In
addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
Prospectus.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company and the Selling Stockholders by Timothy P. MacDonald, General Counsel of
the Company. As of the date hereof, Mr. MacDonald owns 25,000 shares of Common
Stock, of which 20,000 shares may be offered hereby. See "PRINCIPAL AND SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS."

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Quadrax Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Quadrax
Corporation, (a development stage corporation) and subsidiaries at December 31,
1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended. We have also examined the
consolidated statements of operations, shareholder's equity and cash flows for
the period March 6, 1986 to December 31, 1994, insofar as they relate to the
year ended December 31, 1994. 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.
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 consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 Quadrax
Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1,
the Company is a development state company that since inception has expended
cash in excess of cash generated from operations. Additionally, the Company has
not achieved sufficient revenues to support future operations without additional
financing. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. Management plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 1. The 1994 financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Quadrax Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Quadrax
Corporation (a development stage company) as of January 2, 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended January 2, 1994, and for
the period March 6, 1986 to January 2, 1994. 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 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Quadrax Corporation at January 2, 1994 and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
January 2, 1994, and for the period March 6, 1986 to January 2, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the
Company is a development stage company that since inception has expended cash
in excess of cash generated from operations. Additionally, the Company has not
achieved sufficient revenues to support future operations without additional

to continue as a going concern. Management plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 1. The 1993 financial statements do not include any

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
1. DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quadrax
Corporation (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 6, 1986, for the
purpose of converting and selling composite materials.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern
basis. The Company is a development stage company that from its inception,
through December 31, 1994, has expended cash in excess of cash generated from
operations. Additionally, the Company has not achieved sufficient revenues to
support future operations. Management believes that to continue as a going
concern the Company will require additional financing and anticipates adequate
additional financing will be available in fiscal 1995. The 1994 consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the uncertainty
of future financing. As of April 1995, the Company has raised approximately
$2,200,000 from the sale of its common stock in exempt transactions with private
parties and believes that sufficient additional funds will be available to meet
its cash needs in 1995.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FISCAL YEAR
The Company converted its fiscal year, effective December 31, 1994, from a 52-53
week period ending on the Sunday closest to December 31 to a calendar year
ending December 31. The fiscal year ended January 3, 1993 was a 53 week year.
All references to years in these notes to consolidated financial statements
represent fiscal years unless otherwise noted.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues received from research contracts, grants and uncompleted contracts are
recognized to reflect the stage of completion of the project. Estimated losses
expected to be incurred to complete contracts are accrued.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all short term investments, consisting of money market
funds and certificates of deposits, with original maturities of three months or
less, to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations and generally does not require
collateral.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market.
Market for raw materials is determined based on replacement cost; market for
work-in-process is determined based on net realizable value.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Amortization of leasehold
improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the remaining term of
the lease.
PATENTS
The Company capitalizes certain patent costs related to patent applications. The
costs of these assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the
lesser of the useful life of the asset or its statutory life. Costs relating to
patent applications are written off to expense at the time such costs are deemed
to have no continuing value. During 1992, the Company accelerated and fully
amortized certain patents and technology totaling $197,000.
GOODWILL
The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of the fair value of
the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is
amortized on a straight-line method over 15 years. The carrying value of
goodwill is evaluated in relation to the operating performance of the underlying
business. Adjustments are made if the sum of expected future net undiscounted
cash flows is less than book value.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include
costs related to product development, engineering and other wages, overhead and
materials used. All costs associated with revenues from sale of materials for
evaluation and testing and research income have been classified as research and
development.
INCOME TAXES
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company adopted the provisions of the
new standard in its financial statements for the year ended January 3, 1993.
Prior year financial statements were not restated and there was no cumulative
effect of adopting the new standard.
Under Statement 109, the liability method is used in accounting for income
taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as
net operating loss carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates
and laws that will be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax
assets may be reduced by a valuation allowance to reflect the uncertainty
associated with their ultimate realization. Prior to the adoption of Statement
109, income tax expense was determined using the deferred method.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share is based on net loss, after the allowance for
dividends on preferred stock outstanding, divided by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. No effect has been given to
outstanding stock options and warrants and to the conversion of preferred stock
since the effect would be antidilutive. Net loss per common share has been
retroactively adjusted for 1-for-10 reverse split effective July 20, 1994.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
Effective February 1, 1993, the Company implemented a deferred compensation plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Plan). Under the Plan,
eligible employees are permitted to contribute up to 15% of their gross salary,
subject to certain limitations imposed by law. The Company matches one quarter
of the first 6% of

convertible preferred stock is convertible into 178.5 shares of common stock at
the option of the holder. Holders of convertible preferred stock have no other
voting rights and are not entitled to receive any dividends, but have a
liquidation preference of $.01 per share upon dissolution.

CLASS A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
During the first quarter of 1992, the Company initiated a private placement of
25,000 units of its 10% senior convertible notes. The notes were convertible

the First Series in connection with a $1.0 million private placement.

converted into 402,351 new shares of the Company's common stock. The holders of
the Class A convertible preferred stock also received 47,251 Class C warrants.
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND COMMON STOCK WARRANTS

1,150,000 units, (including the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment
option for 150,000 units in September 1987). Each unit consisted of 0.30 shares
of the Company's common stock and 0.30 Redeemable Class A Common Stock Purchase
Warrants (the Class A warrants). Net proceeds from the IPO amounted to
approximately $4,740,000, some of which were used to repay short-term debt and

exercise price of $26.25 resulting in the issuance of 344,455 shares of common
stock and 344,455 Class B warrants. The proceeds from the exercise of the Class
A warrants amounted to approximately $8,660,000, net of related costs of
approximately $385,000. Each Class B warrant initially entitled the holder to
purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $40.00 per share.
During 1988, 20 Class B warrants were exercised. During 1990, 110 Class B
warrants were exercised. Pursuant to a warrant reduction offer in 1990, a total
of 155,359 Class B warrants were exercised at the reduced price of $30.00 per
share of common stock. Proceeds from the exercise of the Class B warrants
amounted to approximately $4,436,000, net of related costs of approximately

stock to the licensor of the Composite Materials Interlacer (CMI). During 1989,
warrants as to 103 shares were exercised at $16.70 per share. The remaining
warrants expired in July 1992.
As consideration for short-term financing prior to the IPO, the Company issued
warrants to purchase 14,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $7.00 per share. The warrants provided certain anti-dilutive rights
which reduced the exercise price to $6.00 per share and increased the number of
shares of common stock purchasable upon exercise of each warrant by a multiple
of 1.166. In October 1992, 8,000 warrants were exercised resulting in the
issuance of 9,329 shares of common stock. Proceeds from the exercise amounted to
approximately $56,000. The remaining warrants expired in October 1992.

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
During 1991 and the first quarter of 1992, the Company raised interim capital by
engaging in three private offerings for a total of $1,042,000. In conjunction
with the 1991 offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of
45,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $13.30 to $14.60
per share. The warrants expire in July 2001. These warrants contain
anti-dilution provisions, which adjust the exercise price and the number of
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise. With adjustment for dilution,
holders may purchase, in the aggregate, 56,999 shares of common stock at the per
share exercise price of $10.50 per share. In addition, the holders of these
warrants were entitled to convert these warrants to 60,799 Class C warrants at
an exercise price of $11.20 per share which has happened for a total
consideration to the Company of $680,950.
In connection with the Company's offering of senior convertible notes in 1992,
D. H. Blair & Co., Inc. (Blair), the Company's placement agent for the initial
public offering in 1987, asserted a right of first refusal to act as placement
agent for the offering of senior convertible notes. To settle this dispute, and
in exchange for a general release from Blair of any other claims it may have
against the Company, the Company issued a "Unit Purchase Option" to Blair in
December 1992. The Unit Purchase Option entitles Blair to purchase 6,466 units
for $16.50 per unit. Each unit consists of 3 shares of common stock and an A
warrant entitling the holder to purchase a unit, which consists of 3 shares of
common stock and a B warrant. The B warrant entitles the holder to purchase 3
shares of common stock. The A warrant is exercisable at $17.00 per share, and
the B warrant is exercisable at $23.70 per share. The Company granted to Blair,
or its assignee, certain "demand" and "piggyback" registration rights regarding
the securities comprising the Unit Purchase Option. The Unit Purchase Option,
the A Warrants and the B Warrants expire on September 1, 1997.
In conjunction with offerings in December 1991, and the first quarter of 1992,
the Company issued 25,200 Class C warrants. With adjustment for dilution, these
Class C warrants entitle holders to purchase 46,277 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $7.95 per share.
During the fourth quarter of 1992, the Company engaged in a $3,225,000 private
offering of 10% short-term notes and Class D warrants (including $250,000 in
notes paid as commission to the placement agent). In connection with the notes,
the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $306,000 of which $122,400 were
deferred at January 3, 1993, and recognized as interest expense in 1993.

6. COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 1994, the Company has outstanding employment agreements with
four senior officers and two other personnel. One agreement for one senior
officer expires on December 31, 1996 and provides for a base salary of $150,000
with severance pay in the amount of $37,500. The other three agreements for
senior officers expire on September 30, 1996 and provide for base compensation
ranging from $90,000 to $119,000 and severance pay equal to one-half of base
compensations.
The Company has a commitment, under the agreement to acquire the outstanding
stock of McManis Sports Associates (Note 8) to issue additional shares of common
stock if, at the date of registration of the 250,000 shares issued, the average
market value for the previous thirty days is less than $4.40 per share.
Rent expense amounted to approximately $133,000, $222,000, and $302,000 in
fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

7. INCOME TAXES
Due to net losses incurred by the Company in each year since its inception, no
provision for income taxes has been recorded. The Company has net operating loss
carryforwards in the amount of approximately $37,540,000 and $27,773,000, and
research and development tax credit carryforwards in the amount of $325,000 and
$265,000 at December 31, 1994 and January 2, 1994, respectively. These
carryforwards expire at various times from 2002 to 2009. The utilization of
these carryforwards may be limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Under
Section 382, losses and other carryforwards are limited whenever a Company
experiences a greater than 50% change in ownership. The amount, if any, of such
limitation has not been determined at this time.

7. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The relationship of tax expense to loss before income taxes differs from the
U.S. statutory rate primarily because of the net operating loss carryforward. A
valuation allowance has been recognized to offset net deferred tax assets which
consist primarily of the tax benefits associated with the net operating losses,
since the realization of tax benefits of net operating loss carryforward is not
assured. The valuation allowance has been increased by $4,109,000, $3,427,000 in
1994 and 1993, respectively, to recognize the increases in deferred tax benefits
that may not be fully realized prior to expiration.

8. ACQUISITIONS
In November, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of McManis
Sports Associates, a manufacturer of and marketing representative for golf
equipment, for $1,465,600 in common stock of the Company and $109,500 in cash.
Included therein, the Company issued to Ablewood European Services, Limited,
150,000 shares of common stock (see Notes 9 and 10) as compensation for acting
as an agent in bringing this opportunity to the Company. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method. Accordingly, the purchase price was
allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. This
treatment results in approximately $709,100 of cost in excess of assets acquired
based on their estimated fair values as of December 31, 1994. This excess of
$709,100, net of the common stock issued to Ablewood European Services,

Wimbledon trademark in the United States for tennis rackets, and in North
America for certain apparel for $600,000 by the issuance of 200,000 shares of
its common stock. This asset is being recorded on the books of the Company as an
intangible asset.
Also in November, 1994, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of
Time Sports for approximately $360,000 in cash and notes payable to facilitate
transfer of the Wimbledon license. The Company also issued to Ablewood European
Services, Limited, 100,000 shares of common stock (see Notes 9 and 10), as
compensation for acting as an agent in bringing this opportunity to the Company.
This acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase of assets. Accordingly,

compensation for acting as the Company's agent for the Company acquiring McManis
Sports Associates, certain assets and liabilities of Time Sports and the
trademark rights has been expensed in fiscal 1994 as a financing cost (Notes 9

<TABLE>
9. FINANCING RELATED EXPENSES
Financing related costs during fiscal 1994 were incurred in connection with two
transactions that the Company entered into during the fiscal year which were
subsequently terminated. The first financing transaction was a proposed
acquisition of the Company by Applied Laser Systems (ALS). The cost of the
termination of this agreement was approximately $1,482,000 and consisted of
170,000 shares of common stock issued to the Company's investor relations
consultant and other professional costs. The second financing transaction was
the Conagher & Co., Inc. funding relationship which was terminated in February,
1995, (Note 10 ). The expenses incurred during this relationship were as
follows:
<S> <C>
Non-recurring expenses incurred in maintaining the office of Pattinson

10. CHANGES IN CONTROL
On February 13, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Pattinson
Hayton, III, the Company's former Chairman, and two of his affiliated companies,
Conagher & Co., Inc., a California corporation (Conagher), and Allied-Asian
Consolidated Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (Allied-Asian) pursuant to which
Mr. Hayton caused voting control over the corporation to be returned to its
common stockholders in exchange for, among other things:
- a reduction in amount and an extension of the time for payment of certain
notes due from Conagher for the purchase of common stock of the Company;
- the issuance to Allied-Asian, or its nominees, of 1,150,000 shares of
common stock of the Company, in restricted form; and
- the assumption by the Company of certain outstanding obligations owed by
Conagher and guaranteed by Mr. Hayton, personally, to Richard A. Fisher
(see Note 11), the founder and former Chief Executive Officer of the
Company.
Mr. Hayton had acquired financial and voting control over the Company in July,
1994, when Conagher purchased 1,500,000 restricted shares of the Company's
common stock for an aggregate price of $3 million, and also purchased from Mr.
Fisher approximately 62% of the Company's original preferred stock (the Control
Block), which gave Conagher the right to elect 3/5 of the members of the
Company's Board of Directors.
In connection with these transactions, Mr. Hayton reconstituted the Board of
Directors, and had himself elected Chairman. Mr. Fisher resigned as Chairman and
subsequently terminated his employment with the Company due to the change in
control of the Company, although he remains available under an agreement with
the Company to consult with the Company as needed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
10. CHANGES IN CONTROL (CONTINUED)
Subsequently, in September, 1994, Conagher purchased an additional 2,250,000
shares for an additional $4.5 million, bringing its total commitment to $7.5
million for 3,750,000 shares. Each of these stock purchases were paid for
through promissory notes issued by Conagher. The stock was re-sold by Conagher
to various off-shore investors in a series of transactions that Conagher advised
the Company had been structured by Conagher to comply with the exemption from
registration available pursuant to Regulation S promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933.
Conagher failed to meet the payment schedule under its promissory notes to the
Company, although it did pay its initial note in full ahead of final maturity,
in large part because Conagher assumed the Company's obligations to Applied
Laser Systems in the amount of approximately $1,300,000. By December, 1994,
Conagher was sufficiently delinquent on its second note that the Company's
operations were suffering from a shortage of working capital. Subsequent to
January 31, 1995, Conagher missed the final payment due, the Board of Directors
demanded, and received, Mr. Hayton's resignation as Chairman and a member of the
Board of Directors of the Company and the surrender by Conagher of its Control
Block in exchange for the consideration described above.
During the approximately 7 month period in which Mr. Hayton controlled the
Company, he directed substantial resources away from the Company's core business
and into activities that the current management was either unaware of or did not
endorse and does not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operations.
These included the hiring of various "consultants" and various product
promotional campaigns that management does not believe were in the best
interests of the Company or its stockholders. In the wake of Mr. Hayton's
relinquishing of control, these activities have ceased. In order to present an
accurate representation of the Company's ongoing cost of continuing operations,
management has reported these items, as well as certain expenses associated with
the terminated Applied Laser Systems transaction, as a separate line item
entitled "Financing Related Expenses" on its Statement of Operations.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the change of control (Note 10), the Company's founder
resigned as a director and chief executive officer in September, 1994 and the
Company retained him as a consultant at the rate of $6,250 per month which may
be increased based on level of effort under a contract that extends through
December 31, 1996; secured a non-competition agreement extending for a five year
period for a fee of $675,000 payable over five years; accelerated the
cancellation of certain amounts due from him in the amount of approximately
$40,000; and agreed to accept payment for stock to be acquired by him upon
exercise of stock options in promissory notes payable over five years.
During fiscal 1994, the former chief executive officer exercised options
covering 240,000 shares of the Company's common stock, delivering notes therefor
aggregating $338,000.
The Company has also entered into a severance agreement with its former chief
executive officer which provides for the continuing payment of certain benefits,
including medical and life insurance.
In connection with the repurchasing of the voting control over the Company from
Pattinson Hayton, III and his affiliated corporate entities (Note 10 ), the
Company assumed the obligation of Conagher & Co. to pay the former chief
executive officer $750,000 for the convertible preferred stock which he had
previously sold to Conagher & Co. The note is payable in monthly installments of
$75,000 plus interest, over a 10 month period commencing April 1995, provided
that payments are not due if the Company does not have working capital of at
least $500,000, and provided further that additional payments are due if the
Company receives certain levels of additional equity financing.
During 1988, the Company entered into a limited partnership agreement and,
accordingly, has a one-third interest in a limited partnership that is the
lessor of the Company's operating facility. In 1992, the Company pledged a
$250,000 certificate of deposit as security for rent under a lease that secures
a mortgage loan agreement entered into by the limited partnership in connection
with the construction of the facility. The Company's $250,000 certificate of
deposit was advanced to the partnership. As consideration for the Company
advancing the $250,000, the Company's lease was extended through 2003, its
annual lease payments were significantly reduced and options to purchase the
building were modified. The Company's investment in the limited partnership is
carried at cost.

The Company has made advances to certain directors and officers. In November
1992, these individuals provided their personal guarantees of a performance bond
for the Company's submarine laminate contract totaling approximately $1,173,000.
The guarantees were several in nature. In addition, these individuals agreed to
provide similar guarantees, if required, for bonds assuring the Company's
performance of other contracts. There is no dollar limit on the amount of
guarantees these individuals agreed to provide.
In partial consideration of the submarine laminate contract guarantee and the
agreement to guarantee, the Company agreed to cancel the existing notes and
security agreements, classified the unpaid amounts as advances and approved a
schedule providing for the cancellation of the indebtedness ending in January
1995 (25% effective January 1, 1993, 37.5% effective January 1, 1994, and 37.5%
effective January 1, 1995). The total amount of advances and accrued interest to
be canceled was $286,244. As of January 2, 1994, 62.5% of these amounts were
canceled in accordance with the schedule as noted above.
On February 28, 1992, these individuals exercised 107,455 stock options, at an
exercise price of $.50 per share. The Company accepted unsecured notes totaling
$53,727 as payment. These notes have been included as a reduction of
stockholders' equity at January 3, 1993. On July 14, 1993, an officer/director
exercised 100,000 stock options at an option price of $.10 per share. With
consent of the Board of Directors, these individuals tendered 88,829 shares of
the Company's common stock in full payment for the unsecured notes of $53,727,
employee advances of $10,000 and interest receivable on the notes of $4,282. The
shares were retained by the Company as treasury stock.
During 1992, the Company granted $50,000 to Stanford University directed to the
development of thermoplastic composite processing technologies. Dr. Stephen
Tsai, a director of the Company, is a professor at Stanford University.

not include all of the information and note disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management,
such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1995 and the
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and April
3, 1994. The results of operations for the three month period ended March
31, 1995 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the

Company's latest annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on

1994.
The Company changed its fiscal year, effective December 31, 1994, from a
52-53 week period ending on the Sunday closest to December 31 to a calendar
year ending December 31. By accounting for its activities on a 52-53 week
period in prior years, its fiscal year end and the fiscal quarters did not
necessarily fall on the respective month-ends for each fiscal quarter. All
references to years in these notes to consolidated financial statements
represent fiscal years unless otherwise noted.
2. Notes Payable
The Company's notes payable consist of notes due totaling $290,000; one is

<PAGE> 92
4. Changes in Control
On February 13, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Pattinson
Hayton, III, the Company's former Chairman, and two of his affiliated
companies, Conagher & Co., Inc., a California corporation (Conagher),
Allied-Asian Consolidated Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (Allied-Asian),
Richard A. Fisher, who preceded Mr. Hayton as the Company's Chairman of the
Board, and who was also the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and
General Counsel, and James J. Palermo, the Company's current Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The details of this transaction
have been described in the Company's Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year 1994
(See Changes in Control and Related Transactions and Note 10 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements -- Changes in Control) which are
incorporated here and by this reference.
5. Related Party Transactions
During the period ended March 31, 1995, the Company's former Chief
Executive Officer, Richard A. Fisher, exercised options covering 93,918
shares of the Company's common stock delivering notes therefore aggregating
$146,500.
In connection with the repurchasing of the voting control over the Company
from Pattinson Hayton, III and his affiliated corporate entities (See Note
4 above), the Company assumed the obligation of Conagher & Co. to pay the
former chief executive officer $750,000 for the convertible preferred
stock which he had previously sold to Conagher & Co. The note is payable
in monthly installments of $75,000 plus interest, over a 10 month period
commencing April 1995, provided that payments are not due if the Company
does not have working capital of at least $500,000, and provided further
that additional payments are due if the Company receives certain levels
of additional equity financing.
Also during the period ended March 31, 1995, the Company's former Chief
Executive Officer, Richard A. Fisher's severance agreement dated September
30, 1994 was amended to reflect a commitment by the Company to issue an
additional 100,000 shares of its common stock upon the effective date of a
registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
6. Earnings Per Share
For the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 1995 and April 30, 1994, the net
loss per share was computed using the weighted number of average shares
outstanding during the respective periods. Common Stock equivalents did
not enter into the computation because the impact would have been
anti-dilutive.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article ELEVENTH of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors and
such other persons as it chooses to indemnify. Article ELEVENTH also provides
that directors shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such
director as a director, except (to the extent provided by applicable law) for
liability (i) for breach of the director's duty of loyalty, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, or any amendment or successor provision thereto or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the
corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in
connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be
made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such
person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided
that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such
person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only
to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification
is proper under the circumstances.
The effect of these provisions would be to permit such indemnification by
the Company for liabilities arising out of the Securities Act.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.
The following table sets forth the various expenses in connection with
the offering of the Common Shares, all of which will be paid by the Company.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
small business issuer pursuant to the provisions contained in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws and the laws of the State of Delaware,
or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in
the information in the registration statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution;
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be
the initial bona fide offering; and
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any
of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

EXHIBIT 10.28(d)
PROMISSORY NOTE
$750,000 February 13, 1995
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ("Maker") promises to pay to the
order of Richard A. Fisher ("Payee"), in installments hereinafter specified, at
Payee's address, 102-B Washington Street, Newport, Rhode Island 02840 or such
other address as Payee may specify by written notice to Maker, the principal sum
of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000).
Subject to the limitations set forth herein regarding Maker's available
working capital, the principal amount outstanding shall be payable in 10 equal
monthly installments of $75,000 each on April 7, 1995, May 7, 1995, June 7,
1995, July 7, 1995, August 7, 1995, September 7, 1995, October 7, 1995, November
7, 1995, December 7, 1995 and January 7, 1996.
Interest on unpaid principal and interest shall be payable monthly in
arrears at the rate of 8 percent per annum.
Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the limitations set forth
herein regarding Maker's available working capital, upon the sale by Maker of
any of its equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities
(other than an equity placement with respect to which Maker had issued its
securities before February 3, 1995), which sale yields $500,000 or more of net
proceeds, 10 percent of such proceeds of such sale shall be applied to payment
of the principal amount outstanding hereunder such payment to be credited
against the installment or installments of principal due on the latest
installment date or dates in 1995. By way of illustration, if the Company
received $750,000 of net proceeds from the sale of any of its equity securities
on May 6, 1995, $75,000 of the principal balance hereunder would be payable,
such payment to be credited $50,000 against the installment due on January 7,
1996 and $25,000 against the installment due on December 7, 1995, and the May 7
payment would remain due on May 7. Equity placements by Maker of less than
$500,000 shall be aggregated such that, when the total equity placed at any time
equals or exceeds $500,000, the payment s provided in this paragraph shall be
due.
If on any installment date other than April 7, 1995, Maker has
available working capital of less than $500,000, the installment of principal
then due under this Note shall be deferred, with interest, until such time as
Maker has available working capital in excess of $500,000, and then shall be
paid to the extent of such excess. By way of illustration, if on both May 7,
1995 and June 7, 1995 Maker's available working capital was less than $500,000
but on June 15, 1995 Maker's available working capital was $635,000, on June 15,
1995 Maker would remit $75,000 to Payee with respect to the May 7, 1995
installment and $60,000 to Payee with respect to the June 7, 1995 installment.
Maker would then owe Payee a payment of up to $15,000 with respect to the
installment which, but for the application of this paragraph, would have been
due on June 7, 1995 if at any time before the next installment date Maker's
working capital exceed $500,000. For purposes of this Note, working capital
means (i) cash on hand plus accounts receivable minus (ii) accounts payable
within 30 days and accrued expenses payable within 30 days. Payee shall at all
times have the right to review Maker's books, ledgers and work papers to verify
the amount of Maker's available working capital.
<PAGE> 2
If Maker fails to make two successive payments under this Note, whether
or not Maker is thereby in default, Payee may, at his option, notify Maker in
writing that it wishes to be issued shares of Maker's common stock, par value
$.000009 per share ("Common Stock") in partial or complete discharge of Maker's
obligations under this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Maker shall not be
required to issue to Payee less than 75,000 shares of Common Stock unless the
entire unpaid principal balance of the Note is less than the product of 75,000
and the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the date Payee so notifies
Maker. In the event of such election, the principal balance of the Note shall
be reduced by the sum of (i) the net proceeds received by Payee from the sale of
the shares of Common Stock issued to Payee under this paragraph, provided such
sales occur within 60 days of the receipt of such shares of Common Stock by
Payee, and (ii) the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock
remaining unsold after 60 days and (b) the closing bid price of the Common Stock
on the date the shares of Common Stock were issued to Payee (the "Deemed
Proceeds"). Payee shall provide Maker with copies of all broker confirmations.
Payee shall remit to Maker the amount, if any, by which the sum of the Proceeds
actually received by Payee and the Deemed Proceeds exceeds the total outstanding
principal balance, plus accrued interest, under this Note.
By way of illustration, if Payee notified Maker that it wished to be
issued 100,000 shares of Common Stock under the preceding paragraph, and on the
date of such notice the closing bid price of the Common Stock was $3.00 per
share, and Payee sold 75,000 shares of Common Stock at net $2.75 per share
within 60 days of the receipt of such shares, then the principal balance of this
Note would be reduced by $281,250. If the closing bid price had been $3.50 per
share, the principal balance of this Note would be reduced by $293,750. If the
total remaining balance plus accrued interest under this Note was $280,000 on
the sixtieth day of issue, Payee would remit $13,750 to Maker.
Maker may, at its sole option, make additional payments at any time
without premium or penalty.
This Note is related to a Voting Trust dated February 13, 1995 between
Allied Asian Consolidated Limited and James J. Palermo, trustee, a copy of which
is attached hereto, which provides that if this Note shall be in default, the
Trustee shall vote the shares of Original Preferred Stock which are held therein
in accordance with the instructions of Payee.
If payment hereunder shall not be made by Maker on or before its due
date, Maker may, at any time thereafter prior to a declaration by Payee that the
entire principal balance has become due by reason of such default, remove such
default by paying to Payee all sums then due and payable.
Upon occurrence of any of the following events of default:
1. Default in any payment hereunder for a period of ten (10) days
after the same becomes due and payable; or
2. The liquidation or dissolution of Maker, the appointment of a
receiver for substantially all the property of Maker, the making of a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors by Maker,
<PAGE> 3
or the filing of a petition seeking relief as an insolvent debtor under any
bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency or other debtor relief law (including
relief by way of reorganization, composition or extension of the indebtedness)
by Maker; or
3. There shall be filed against Maker a petition under any bankruptcy,
receivership, insolvency or other debtor relief law, which petition shall remain
undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; or
4. A judgment or attachment against Maker in excess of $100,000 that
is not paid or discharged with 60 days; or
5. An admission by Maker that it is unable to pay its debts as they
mature
this Note shall, at the option of Payee, become immediately due and payable
without further presentment, demand or protest exercised by written notice from
Payee to Maker, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Maker. Failure to
exercise said option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the
same at any other time for the same or any other cause.
Maker waives presentment, demand, notice and protest and all defenses
based on giving time and expressly agrees that no renewal or extension granted,
nor any other indulgence shown nor any release or discharge of or any dealings
between Payee and Maker, shall discharge, extend or in any way affect the
obligations of Maker.
If this Note shall not be paid when due and shall be placed by Payee in
the hands of an attorney for collection through legal proceedings or otherwise,
or Payee shall exercise any of his rights hereunder, Maker will pay on demand
reasonably attorneys fees of Payee together with the reasonable costs and
expenses of collection.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of July 13, 1995 among Quadrax
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Quadrax"), Richard A. Fisher, an
individual domiciled in Rhode Island ("Fisher"), and, with respect to Section 4
hereof, James J. Palermo, as trustee under the Declaration of Trust "The Quadrax
Preferred Stock Voting Trust" (the "Trustee").
WHEREAS, Quadrax, Fisher, Allied-Asian Consolidated Limited, Conagher &
Co., Inc., Pattinson Hayton, III, and the Trustee have entered into an Agreement
for the Creation of a Voting Trust in Settlement of Claims and Liabilities dated
as of February 13, 1995 (the "Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to which, among
other things, Allied transferred to the Trustee record ownership of 317.99
shares (the "Control Block") of original preferred stock, par value $.01 per
share, of Quadrax;
WHEREAS, Quadrax and Fisher wish to terminate as of the date hereof
certain continuing interests of Fisher in the Control Block, as set forth
herein;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 3.2(a) of the Settlement Agreement,
Quadrax has issued to Fisher a promissory note dated February 13, 1995 (the
"Promissory Note"), which initially had a principal amount of $750,000.00 and
which, as of the date hereof, has an outstanding principal amount of
$450,000.00; and
WHEREAS, Quadrax and Fisher wish to provide for the payment of the
Promissory Note through the issuance by Quadrax to Fisher of shares of Quadrax's
common stock, par value $.000009 per share ("Common Stock"), and, in connection
therewith, to provide for the registration of such shares under the registration
statement of Quadrax on Form SB-2 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in July 1995 (the "Registration Statement"), all as set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Amendment of Promissory Note.
(a) Payment of the principal of and accrued interest on the
Promissory Note shall hereafter be effected solely as provided in this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the provisions of the second,
third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh paragraphs of the Promissory
Note shall be of no further force or effect after the date hereof.
(b) Interest on the outstanding principal of, and on unpaid
interest on, the Promissory Note shall accrue at the rate of eight percent
per annum up to, but not including, the date on which the Registration
Statement shall initially be declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Effective Date"). No interest on the Promissory
Note shall accrue with respect to the Effective Date or any date
thereafter.
(c) In the event that the Effective Date has not occurred by any
date listed below, Quadrax shall pay to Fisher in cash on such date the
indicated amount of outstanding principal
<PAGE> 2
of the Promissory Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the
Promissory Note as of such date:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
September 7, 1995 $75,000
October 7, 1995 $75,000
November 7, 1995 $75,000
December 7, 1995 $75,000
January 7, 1996 $150,000
</TABLE>
(d) In the event that the Effective Date occurs prior to January 7,
1996, then, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, all principal
of and accrued interest on the Promissory Note shall be deemed to have
been paid upon the issuance by Quadrax to Fisher of a stock certificate
representing shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") in a number equal to
(i) the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note as of the
Effective Date, plus the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the
Promissory Note as of the Effective Date (computed as provided in clause
1(b) above) (the "Converted Amount"), divided by (ii) the average of the
last closing bid prices of the Common Stock on the second through eleventh
business days, inclusive, preceding the Effective Date, as such prices are
reported in The Wall Street Journal. Delivery of such stock certificate
shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Promissory Note by
Fisher to Quadrax on or after the Effective Date.
2. Sale of Shares by Fisher. All of the Shares shall be included in
the Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement. Quadrax agrees
that it will use its reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement
effective for an aggregate of 150 calendar days after the Effective Date, it
being understood that Fisher may be required to discontinue disposition of
Shares at any time or from time to time to the extent (a) necessary or
desirable, in the judgment of Quadrax and its outside securities counsel, for
Quadrax to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder or (b) in
the good faith judgment of Quadrax, it would be significantly disadvantageous
for Quadrax to keep the Registration Statement in effect at such time. Fisher
shall sell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement at any time or
from time to time as determined in his discretion, provided that if the
Registration Statement is in effect for at least an aggregate of 150 days, then
all of the Shares shall be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement during
such 150-calendar day period.
3. Adjustments. If the total amount of proceeds received by Fisher
from the sale of all of the Shares (net of any commissions and fees of brokers
and dealers incurred by Fisher in connection with the sale of the Shares) is
less than the Converted Amount, then Quadrax shall remit the difference to
Fisher in cash. Alternatively, if the total amount of proceeds received by
Fisher from the sale of all of the Shares (net of any commissions and fees of
brokers and dealers incurred by Fisher in connection with the sale of the
Shares) is greater than the Converted Amount, then Fisher shall remit the
difference to Quadrax in cash. Fisher shall provide Quadrax with copies of the
broker or dealer confirmation with respect to each sale of Shares (or other
documents sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of Quadrax, to confirm the
sales price and broker's or dealer's commission, fee or discount with respect
thereto) within five business days after the settlement date of such sale. Any
adjustment payment to be remitted pursuant to this Section 3 shall be paid
within fifteen business days after the settlement date for the final sale of
Shares.
4. Relinquishment of Rights in Control Block. Effective as of the date
hereof, the provisions of the second paragraph of Section 5 of the Declaration
of Trust "The Quadrax Preferred Stock
2
<PAGE> 3
Voting Trust" and the provisions of the ninth paragraph of the Promissory Note
shall no longer be of any force or effect.
5. General. Each party shall, at any time and from time to time,
execute, acknowledge, sell and deliver all such instruments and documents, and
do all such further things, as the other party may reasonably request in order
to effect the purposes and intent of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreement and understandings, whether
written or oral, in connection with the subject matter hereof. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts, which, taken together, shall constitute one and
the same agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Rhode
Island
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Quadrax, Fisher and the Trustee have executed, or
caused to be executed, this instrument under seal as of the date first set forth
above.
