PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS.
General
The Company was formed to capitalize on, and generate revenues and
profits primarily from a) the licensing of its proprietary patents, inventions,
systems and technologies to manufacturers and b) the manufacture and sale of
products based on its technology. The Company's first commercial video
production system, its Digital Home Theater(TM), is currently in production. The
Company is in the business of identifying, developing, patenting, supporting,
manufacturing and marketing technical innovations in the electronic display and
information industry.
Video Projector
The Company's technologies utilize liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and
the new Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing (DLP) light engines as image
sources in concert with the Company's proprietary dual-use projection system.
This new generation technology differs significantly from conventional cathode
ray tube ("CRT") technology, which has been used for the past fifty years in
virtually all television and video systems. The Company anticipates that its
technologies will be capable of producing giant screen displays that are bright
and sharp, have rich color saturation and high contrast. The Company is the
owner of five (5) United States patents, covering its technologies, and
twenty-two (22) foreign patents around the world. Additional patent applications
were filed by the Company in the United States in 1995 with respect to the
Company's proprietary technologies. In addition, the Company has also filed for
further patent protection in various foreign countries for improvement to its
technologies and for protection of related technologies.
The Company's patented technologies utilize LCDs and the Digital
Micromirror Device ("DmD") developed by Texas Instruments as image sources in
concert with the Company's dual-use proprietary projection system. These new
generation solid state technologies differ significantly from conventional CRT
technology, which has been used for the past fifty years in virtually all
television and video systems.
The Company has produced production prototypes of its Texas
Instruments-based DMD projector and demonstration prototypes of its patented
small, lightweight, solid state LCD television projector (the "Projectors"). The
Company has also produced production prototypes of its patented dual-use
front/rear screen projection television, which incorporates the Projector, known
as
1
<PAGE>
the "Digital Home Theater (formerly the "Chameleon(TM)"). The Projector (either
incorporated in the Digital Home Theater or standing alone) is capable of
producing bright, full-color, high-quality television images. The Company has
formed a non-exclusive strategic corporate alliance and entered into an OEM
Agreement with Texas Instruments with respect to the Digital Home Theater.
Specifically, this strategic alliance relates to the manufacture and
distribution of the Digital Home Theater that will incorporate the DMD, which is
a component of the DLP that has been developed by Texas Instruments. The Company
has also entered into arrangements with third parties for the manufacture and
production of its video projection systems which currently include the Projector
and the proprietary Digital Home Theater mechanical and electronics designs.
The Company intends to enter into arrangements with third parties for the
marketing and distribution of its video projection systems. The Company has
licensed, on a non-exclusive basis, its patented "depixelization" micro-optics
which are applicable to a wide range of video projection systems, to Matsushita
Electric Industrial Co., a Japanese company that distributes consumer electronic
products in the U.S. under the Panasonic brand name, and to Samsung Electronics
Co., a Korean company that distributes products under the Samsung brand name.
These non-exclusive licenses offer consumer electronics manufacturers the right
to use certain of the Company's patented technologies. The Company is seeking to
enter into similar, non-exclusive patent license agreements for its
depixelization and other technologies with other parties in a variety of
markets. In addition to licensing its technologies for potential application in
the television market, the Company also intends to offer licenses of its video
projection technologies to commercial and military users. Other potential
markets for the Company's technologies include medical imaging, CAD/CAE
workstations, large format computer monitors, arcade games, video interactives,
home shopping, video teleconferencing, sports entertainment viewing, education,
training and advertising.
The Home Television Market
The Company believes that one of the fastest growing segments of the
color television market is Big and Giant screen televisions, which are defined
as having a diagonal measurement greater than 27 inches and 32 inches,
respectively. The size of the home consumer television market in the U.S. in
1996 exceeded 25 million televisions. Sales of large screen televisions
increased approximately 29% in 1995 and 8% in 1996. It is this growing market
segment of large screen televisions that the Company is targeting. Almost all
existing big screen color television screens rely on CRT-based technology. Big
and giant
2
<PAGE>
screen televisions produce images in either direct-view, front projection or
rear projection formats. In front projection, the projector is placed in front
of the screen or surface on which the images are to be displayed, as is
typically done with a slide or movie projector. In rear projection, the
projector is placed in an enclosed cabinet and its video projection illuminates
the back of a translucent screen. Direct-view CRT television currently can
produce up to a 40" picture. Rear projection CRT televisions are capable of
producing 80" diagonally measured pictures. Front projection LCD and DLP
projectors can produce giant screen images up to 20 feet in size measured
diagonally. The LCD and DLP solid state, tubeless projectors are smaller, and
lighter weight than either direct-view, or rear projection models, and do not
require a large dedicated space in the home. Direct-view televisions are capable
of producing superior images than most existing front and rear projections
systems. The Company believes that its technologies will be capable of producing
giant screen images in both front and rear projection formats that will match or
exceed the brightness of those produced in current screen projection systemsy.
The Company's Digital Home Theater, driven by Texas Instruments' DMD/DLP
technology, provides SVGA resolution and performs as a giant screen computer
monitor.
CRT Technology
Most existing color televisions up to 35 inch screen size use CRT
systems, the basis of virtually all televisions produced since the 1940s. CRT
technology has certain inherent limitations for production of big screen picture
displays, including size, weight and vacuum. As a practical matter, CRT
television is not manufacturable in sizes exceeding 40 inches.
The cost of producing cathode ray tubes and other aspects of the CRT
technology used for big screen display is high. As a result, CRT-based big
screen television generally is disproportionately more expensive than small
screen size television.
The Company's Technologies
The Company's LCD and DLP projection technologies combine the Company's
patented optical and electronic processing systems with high brightness light
sources and solid-state LCD panels, which serve as light valves. Use of LCDs and
DLPs eliminate the cathode ray tube, which in big screen televisions is large,
bulky, heavy and fragile. LCD panels and DMD semiconductors do not pose the
health hazards of CRTs and are smaller, more
3
<PAGE>
compact, lighter and less fragile than cathode ray tubes. In reproducing images
in color, CRTs generate X-ray radiation that may be harmful to persons who view
the images at close range over long periods of time. Further, CRTs generate
electro-magnetic fields of considerable magnitude. The physiological effects of
these fields on persons who view the screens at close range is still under
study. The use of LCDs or DMDs in the Company's projection systems will not
result in the generation of X-rays or intense electro-magnetic fields.
LCD television technology was first developed approximately 19 years
ago. Unlike CRT technology, which is a mature technology that has been used for
approximately the past 50 years in virtually all television and video projection
systems, LCD technology is still being significantly refined and improved. The
Company's management expects that additional significant advances in LCD
technology will be made in the near future that will be beneficial to the
Company's products. Management anticipates that LCDs, like other solid-state
devices, ultimately will be made more compact, durable, efficient and
inexpensive. Like CRT-based color televisions, LCD-based color televisions are
capable of displaying 525 scanning lines and 330 lines of resolution using
standard NTSC broadcast signals. Since the Company's Projector will utilize
commercially available LCD's, the resolution of its picture will be comparable
to the resolution of other standard systems. LCD projection technologies
presently contain certain inherent image quality limitations. The Company's
patented technologies are designed to overcome these limitations and produce an
image offering continuous tone photographic effect enabling substantially
increased viewer perception of image quality when compared with LCD televisions
that do not utilize the Company's depixalization system. The Company believes
that its technologies overcome limitations in current LCDs that might otherwise
limit the use of LCDs for standard NTSC and high definition television ("HDTV")
displays and will improve the ability to display images comparable in quality to
those currently produced by CRT-based projectors. A DLP projector combines DMD
microchips with digital signal processing, memory, software, optical components,
and an illumination source to create extremely bright, high resolution (SVGA)
display systems.
The Company is aware of the development by other companies of
innovative flat panel and television systems. These technologies do not use CRT
or projection to produce an image, but instead rely on other technologies
including plasma, thin film electro-luminescence, solid-state lasers, light pipe
systems, vibrating mirror systems, cold cathode screens, PLZT, FED (field
emission display) and others.

The Projector
The Company's Projector, which can be used in front and rear projection
configurations and employs the Company's patented technologies, has the
additional features described below:
Picture Size - The picture size produced by an LCD and DLP television
Projector using a front projection format can be varied continuously to exceed a
20 foot diagonal picture by changing the projection distance or adjusting the
Projector's built-in zoom lens which allows 100% image size magnification.
No Misconvergence - As a result of its single point iamge source,
neither the LCD or DLP Projector requires alignment or convergence adjustment,
which are required in CRT three lens projection television systems.
Misconvergence is a common problem encountered in present video projectors that
use CRTs, and can occur during shipping or moving of a projection system.
Picture Quality - The Projector is capable of displaying large size
images that have rich color and high contrast and that are visible on a screen
or white painted surface. Images displayed by the Company's demonstration
prototype LCD Projector produces a continuous tone photographic effect enabling
substantially improved image quality, which is the result of the virtual
elimination of visible pixel structure.
Size - The LCD Projector is intended to be small and light-weight,
self-contained and portable, slightly larger than an ordinary shoe box and
weighs less than fifteen (15) pounds. The Company expects that, when produced
for sale, the Projector will be similar in size and weight, thus enabling the
consumer to purchase only one Projector which may be carried easily from room to
room or placed into multiple Digital Home Theater-type systems in different
rooms or homes.
Other Features - The Company's prototype Projector has a built-in
television receiver and audio system, UHF and VHF tuning, and will be
connectable to cable television or to an external antenna and may be operated by
remote control. The Projector will be connectable to video games, video cassette
recorders (VCRs), video disc players, home computers and the new DSS satellite
systems.
The Digital Home Theater
As noted above, the Company's first commercial video projection system
will be the Digital Home Theater (formerly "The
5
<PAGE>
Chameleon"), a Giant Screen consumer product that will incorporate the Company's
Projector and the DLP technology development by Texas Instruments. The Digital
Home Theater, which is currently in production, will be 60" diagonal television
that is a rear screen projection system that can also be used in a front
projection configuration. Specifically, the Digital Home Theater's picture will
be generated by the Company's lightweight, portable Projector, which can easily
be removed by the consumer so that the Projector itself can be carried to a
different location and be used to project an image on a wall, screen, or
ceiling. The Digital Home Theater itself, which includes the Projector, is a
relatively lightweight, easily assembled cabinet with a screen that is 60" in
diagonal and 23" thick (front-to-rear measurement), and is a patented design of
the Company.
Markets
As noted above, the Company believes that one of the fastest growing
segments of the color television market is big and giant screen televisions,
which are defined as having a diagonal measurement greater than 27 inches and 32
inches, respectively. The size of the home consumer color television market in
the U.S. in 1996 exceeded 25 million televisions.
It is this fast growing market segment of large screen televisions that
the Company is targeting. In addition to the large screen home consumer market,
the Company will seek to develop its projection technology for application in a
variety of other markets. Described below, in no particular order, are some of
the other video display markets to which the Company believes its projection
technologies may be particularly suited. However, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to successfully develop products for use in these or
any other areas.
o Military/Federal - including land and ship command and control
centers; in field briefing; cockpit instrumentation for aircraft, ships and land
vehicles; intelligence community uses; archival storage and retrieval systems.
o Commercial/Office - product and sales demonstrations; seminars;
replacement of CRT computer monitors.
o Computer Monitors - replace CRT's for large screen use by groups of
people.
o CAD/CAM - computer assisted design and computer assisted
manufacturing, including large image computer work stations.
6
<PAGE>
o Medical Imaging - on site and offsite diagnostic functions; large
screen surgical demonstration.
o Video Teleconferencing - business meetings and product
demonstrations.
o Education and Training - classroom and large audience presentations.
o Movie Theater and Sports Bars - sports and other entertainment
viewing.
Research and Development
From the Company's inception in September, 1988 through December 31,
1996, the Company has invested approximately $5,800,000 for research and
development of its technology. The Company has constructed production prototypes
and completed substantially all research and development activities in
connection with the Projector and the Digital Home Theater, although certain
refinements are still ongoing, including optimizing picture brightness. The
Company has and continues to explore the feasibility of using light valves other
than LCDs in its projection technologies.
Manufacturing, Marketing, Licensing and Other Activities
With respect to the Digital Home Theater, the Company is engaged in
discussions with national audio-video retailers who have expressed an interest
in distributing the Company's product. The Company intends to market its
patented technologies to major consumer electronics manufacturers/marketers.
Texas Instruments Memorandum of Understanding
In September, 1995 the Company entered into an OEM agreement between
the Company and Texas Instruments to incorporate Texas Instruments' DLP
projection technology for use in the Company's consumer projection television
system, the Digital Home Theater. The Digital Home Theater, which will feature
projection technologies from both the Company and Texas Instruments, is a single
system that has both front and rear projection capabilities as well as offering
standard or wall-sized images for television and Super VGA computer displays.

Samsung License
In November, 1994, the Company entered into a non-exclusive license
agreement with Samsung Electronics Co. of South Korea, providing Samsung the
right to use the Company's patented depixelization and brightness video
projection technology. Samsung Group is one of Korea's largest industrial
companies. The disclosure of the terms and conditions of the Samsung License are
expressly subject to strict confidentiality provisions set forth in such
license.
Matsushita License
In March, 1993, the Company entered into a patent license agreement
with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. ("Matsushita") which granted
Matsushita the right to use the Company's patented depixelization video
projection technology in connection with the manufacturing and marketing of an
advanced tubeless consumer television system in the United States (the
"Matsushita License"). Matsushita distributes consumer electronics products in
the United States under the brand names "Panasonic," "Quasar" and "Technics."
The disclosure of the specific terms and conditions of the Matsushita License,
are expressly subject to strict confidentiality provisions set forth in the
Matsushita License.
Tamarack Investment
In April, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with Tamarack
Storage Devices, Inc. ("Tamarack"), a spin-off development stage company of the
Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation, a research consortium of
leading U.S. technology companies of which the Company is a member. Tamarack
which was established to commercialize holographic storage technology for
various uses such as for the personal computer workstation, commercial storage
and the consumer electronics market. Pursuant to the April 1993 agreement, the
Company acquired approximately 37% of Tamarack's issued and outstanding voting
securities. In addition, since Tamarack did not achieve certain revenue
benchmarks by the end of the first calendar quarter of 1995, the Company
exercised its right in March, 1996 to purchase, for minimal consideration,
additional shares of Tamarack's Common Stock such that upon effecting such
purchase, the Company assumed ownership of approximately 52% of Tamarack's
issued and outstanding voting securities.
8
<PAGE>
In May, 1994, the Company loaned Tamarack an additional $1,500,000 and
in connection therewith also received warrants to purchase additional shares of
Tamarack's common stock, the precise amount of which is dependent upon the
timing and pricing of a future equity offering by Tamarack. From August through
December of 1995, the Company advanced an aggregate of an additional $97,339
either directly to or for the benefit of Tamarack for general working capital
purposes. Due to Tamarack's inability, to date, to commercialize its holographic
storage technology and Tamarack's current lack of prospects, the Company has
recorded a reserve against its entire investment in Tamarack, including the loan
of $1,500,000. In November, 1996, the Company loaned Tamarack an additional $
100,000 which has not been reserved, since repayment is to be made in 1997 out
of funds coming from the United States Government's Advanced Research Projects
Agency ("ARPA"). Presently Tamarack is participating in a Dept. Of Energy Crada
Award with the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico to
develop the recording media necessary to produce holographic recordings.
Proprietary Rights
Projectavision is the owner of five (5) United States patents and
twenty-two (22) foreign patents in a number of countries and has patent
applications pending in numerous industrialized nations around the world. The
Company has filed for further patent protection in the United States and in
various foreign countries for improvements in its technologies. Specifically in
1995, the Company filed separate patent applications covering its thin screen
system, collimation increasing means, light splitting means, input lens arrays
on opposite sides of the image forming element, double input lens array, real
illumination polarized screen and brightness enhancing technologies.
Applications covering such technologies have also been filed in Canada, China
(People's Republic), Europe (E.P.O.), India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea and
Taiwan. Also in 1995, three additional "design" patent applications were filed
in the United States covering Projectavision's rear screen technology systems.
Rear screen technology utility applications were also filed in Canada, China
(People's Republic), Europe (E.P.O.), India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea and
Taiwan. Notwithstanding the Company's patent or pending patent applications,
there can be no assurance that others have not developed such technologies
without the Company's knowledge, or that such pending applications will be
allowed or that others will not independently develop similar technologies,
duplicate the Company's technologies or design around the patented aspects of
the Company's technologies. Even though the Company has been
9
<PAGE>
issued patents, challenges may be instituted by third parties as to the
validity, enforceability and infringement of the patents. In the event that if
others are able to design around the Company's patents, the Company's business
could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in the event the
Company's products are based upon the DLP developed by Texas Instruments, the
Company will also be dependent to a certain extent on the efficacy of Texas
Instruments' patents relative to the DLP, of which there can be no assurance.
The Company has not conducted any independent analysis of the patents owned by
Texas Instruments relating to the DLP.
The cost of the litigation to uphold the validity and enforceability
and prevent infringement of the Company's patents can be substantial. The
Company's patent counsel, Anderson Kill & Olick, PC, has conducted a study to
determine whether the manufacture, use or sale in the United States of the
projector would infringe patents of others. The study reviewed patents covering
active matrix LCDs, optics and LCDs and various electronic and optical
components used in conjunction with such combinations. Counsel has determined
that the combination of features disclosed in the Company's patent application
would not constitute literal infringement of the patents reviewed.
Counsel also has reviewed certain of the patents covered by the literal
infringement study to determine whether the combination of features described in
the Company's application would infringe such patents under the doctrine of
equivalents. Under this doctrine, a product which does not literally infringe a
patent because it does not have all features of any of the patent claims might,
nevertheless, be deemed to infringe such patent, if and only if the difference
between the patented product and accused products are insubstantial. Counsel has
concluded that the combination of features described in the Company's patent
application would not infringe any of the patents included in counsel's doctrine
of equivalents study under the doctrine of equivalents. With respect to those
patents which were not included in the doctrine of equivalents study, counsel
has advised the Company that even if the combination of features described in
the Company's application would infringe such patents under the doctrine of
equivalents it is likely that either (i) suitable non-infringing alternative
components would be available, or (ii) the Company will be able to obtain a
license from the owner of such patent. In order for the Company to obtain such a
license it may be necessary for the Company to grant a cross license of the
Company's patent-pending technology to a potential licensor.
Counsel also has reviewed the patents to determine whether the
components of the Projector set forth in the Company's
10
<PAGE>
patents constitute literal infringement of the other patents reviewed. Counsel
has concluded that the manufacture, use or sale in the United States of the
Projector including such components would not constitute literal infringement of
the patents reviewed; however, Counsel will not be able to determine whether the
components of the Projector would infringe the remaining patents reviewed until
certain components to be used in the Projector are definitively selected.
Counsel has not reviewed the patents to determine whether the components of the
Projector disclosed in the Company's patent application would constitute
infringement of the patents directed to such components under the doctrine of
equivalents. However, counsel has advised the Company that, as a matter of law,
any component purchased from a seller in the normal course of business ("off the
shelf") is purchased with a warranty from the seller that such component does
not constitute literal or equivalents infringement of patents of others. In
addition, counsel has advised that if the Company arranges to have certain
components manufactured to its specifications and, therefore, is not deemed to
have purchased such components off the shelf it is likely that either (i) the
seller of such component will indemnify the Company from patent infringement
claims, or (ii) the Company will be able to obtain a license from the owner of
the patent which is infringed. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will enter into any such arrangements and if the Company is unable to
enter into such arrangements, its business may be adversely affected.
In some cases, the Company may rely on trade secrets to protect its
innovations. There can be no assurance that trade secrets will be established or
that others will not independently develop similar or superior technologies. The
Company routinely requires employees, Directors, consultants and other third
parties to whom confidential information has been or will be disclosed, to agree
to keep the Company's proprietary information confidential and to refrain from
using such information in any manner that is adverse to the Company's interest.
However, there can no assurance that such agreements will be complied with or
will be enforceable.
The Company is the owner of the trade name Projectavision, Inc. This
mark was registered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on February
4, 1997.

Competition
The television and video display industry is highly competitive,
although its patents and technologies are additive, the Company believes that in
many instances it will be directly competitive with consumer electronics
manufacturers. To the extent the Company does encounter competition, most of the
Company's competitors and potential competitors have and will have far greater
financial resources, research and development facilities, manufacturing and
marketing experience, distribution and sales networks, established customer
bases, and greater brand name recognition than the Company currently has.
Although there can be no assurances, the Company expects that it will be able to
compete successfully against its competitors on the basis of its proprietary
projection technologies and patent portfolio, product size and weight, price and
picture quality. The Company plans to enter into arrangements for the
manufacture, marketing and distribution of the television Projector with third
parties which have established capabilities in those areas. However, there can
no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully or enter into
or maintain such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all.
The Company is aware of other companies who have developed projection
technologies that may function without the Company's principal technologies, and
may become competitive, including Everex(R), Comtech/RAF/Flask(R), Kopin(R),
Kuraray(R), Microsharp/Nashua(R), and others. In addition, other companies are
developing variations of video projectors which may not necessarily rely on the
Company's technologies for image improvement. These include Sharp
Corporation(R), GE(R), Telex(R), Epson(R), Toshiba(R), Hitachi(R), Sanyo(R),
JVC(R), Philips(R), Eiki(R), Infocus(R), In-View(R), Proxima(R), 3M(R) and
others. Although the Company believes that its projection technologies (and
those technologies of Texas Instruments to be employed with the Digital Home
Theater) have distinct advantages over the technologies developed by these
companies, there can be no assurance that the Company's competitors have not or
in the future will not develop technologies, projectors and other products that
are of the same or better quality than those developed and produced by the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to overcome the
far greater financial resources, manufacturing, distributing, marketing, sales
and other resources of these competitors.
In addition to development of the Digital Home Theater and the
television Projector as a consumer item, the Company intends to pursue other
applications of its projection technologies in a variety of other commercial
industries and markets. Many of these areas are highly competitive. Most of the
Company's
13
<PAGE>
competitors and potential competitors in these areas have and will have far
greater financial resources, research and development facilities, manufacturing
and marketing experience, distribution and sales networks, established customer
networks, and greater name recognition than the Company currently has. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to overcome these factors.
Government Regulations
The Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services regulates television radiation emissions. State and
local governments also may regulate television radiation emissions. Compliance
with these regulations, or exemptions therefrom, will be necessary prior to
commencement of marketing of the Projector and the Digital Home Theater. The
Company believes that the Projector and the Digital Home Theater will comply
with applicable regulations. Current FDA regulations do not require FDA review
or approval prior to the manufacturing or marketing of the Projector or the
Digital Home Theater. If the Company's technology is used in the medical imaging
market, it may have to comply with FDA requirements pertaining to medical
devices, including possible extensive premarketing approval requirements. If the
Company is required to obtain premarketing approval from the FDA, use of the
technology in the medical imaging market could be significantly delayed and the
cost of obtaining such approval could be substantial.
The Company will not be permitted to sell the Projector and the Digital
Home Theater in certain states without obtaining UL listing, which the Company
will seek to obtain.
The Company is unable to predict the extent of any governmental
regulation which might arise from future United States or foreign legislative or
administrative action.
Personnel
As of March 13, 1997, the Company employed twelve (12) persons, all of
whom provide management and administrative services on a full-time basis. The
Company also has consulting arrangements with a number of engineers who assist
the Company in
14
<PAGE>
research and development. The Company also employs its Chief Financial Officer
pursuant to a consulting agreement. See "Employment Agreements."
Change in Officers
In February of 1995, Mr. Eugene Dolgoff was terminated as an employee
of the Company and in March of 1995 Mr. Dolgoff was terminated as an officer of
the Company for cause. Subsequently, on April 7, 1995, Mr. Dolgoff filed suit in
the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Company, certain
directors and employees of the Company alleging, among other things, wrongful
termination and breach of his employment contract. See Item 3 "Legal
Proceedings."
In September, 1996, Martin Holleran, the President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Company since November of 1993, became Chief Executive Officer of
the Company. Upon becoming Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Holleran retained the
title of President, but did not keep the title of Chief Operating Officer. Prior
to September, 1996, Marvin Maslow had been the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company since inception of the Company. Mr. Maslow remains as Chairman of the
Board of the Company. In connection with these executive changes, the Company
entered into new six (6) year employment agreement with each of Mr. Holleran and
Mr. Maslow effective March 1, 1997. See Item 10, "Directors and Executive
Officers of the Registrant."
The Company believes that its employee relations are satisfactory,
notwithstanding a charge of discrimination that was filed against the Company
and settled and which was related solely to the actions of Mr. Dolgoff. See Item
3, "Legal Proceedings."
Item 2. PROPERTIES
The Company presently leases approximately 12,000 square feet of office
space for executive and research facilities at Two Penn Plaza, Suite 640, New
York, NY 10121. These facilities were originally subleased from an unaffiliated
party at a rate of approximately $17,000 per month. The sublease expired on
January 30, 1996, at which time, the Company entered into a direct lease with
the landlord for the same premises until January 31, 1998 at a rent of
approximately $21,500 per month. The Company is presently seeking to extend the
term of its current lease.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In January 1996, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Dolgoff sued the Company and
certain members of the Board of Directors in the
15
<PAGE>
Chancery Court in the State of Delaware, and in connection therewith moved to
preliminarily enjoin the Company's annual stockholders' meeting scheduled for
February 29, 1996. The Dolgoffs alleged, among other things, manipulation of the
election process and breaches of the Company's charter documents. The Dolgoffs'
request to preliminarily enjoin the meeting was denied. A settlement agreement
has been entered into between the Company and the Dolgoffs, which includes,
among other things, the Company taking steps to move one of its Directors from
one class to another class so as to align the terms of its three (3) classes of
directors. A hearing with respect to the settlement agreement has been scheduled
before the Delaware Chancery Court for May 23, 1997.
In May 1996, two of the eleven purchasers of the convertible debt
issued by the Company in the first quarter of 1996 commenced a lawsuit against
the Company in New York State Supreme Court seeking an order to require the
Company to convert their debt into common stock. After the plaintiff's motion
for summary judgement was dismissed, one of the two purchasers settled their
lawsuit with the Company in October, 1996. The litigation with the other debt
holder remains outstanding. The Company believes that it has meritorious
defenses with respect of all of the remaining debt holder's claims and intends
to vigorously defend the litigation. A motion to discussion for lack of
jurisdiction is currently pending before the U.S. District Court in Florida.
In June 1996, a suit was filed by an individual investor against the
Company and Marvin Maslow alleging fraudulent inducement in connection with the
plaintiff's purchase of the Company's securities. The Company believes that it
has meritorious defenses with respect to all of the plaintiff's claims and
intends to vigorously defend the litigation.
In April 1995, the Company and Jules Zimmerman, Richard Hickok, Dr.
Craig Fields, Marvin Maslow, Martin Holleran, and Sherman Langer (in his
capacity as an employee of the Company) were sued by Eugene Dolgoff, a former
officer, Director and employee of the Company in New York State Supreme Court.
Mr. Dolgoff alleged claims for breaches of his employment agreement, wrongful
discharge, tortious interference, libel and slander, declaratory relief with
respect to the ownership of certain of the Company's technologies, claiming that
he has certain rights with respect to the Company's technologies, breach of
contract with regard to a patent assignment agreement, a constructive trust or
unjust enrichment, replevin, conversion, to obtain access to corporate records,
and for a declaration regarding his status as an officer, and seeks damages,
punitive damages and
16
<PAGE>
equitable relief aggregating in excess of $100 million. In April of 1996, the
New York State Supreme Court issued an order and opinion which (I) idsqualified
the compnay's litigation counsel, Anderson, Kill & Olick, P.C. ("Anderson,
Kill") on the basis that Anderson, Kill had a conflict of interest vis-a-vis Mr.
Dolgoff, (ii) substantially denied the Company's motion to dismiss Mr. Dolgoff's
entire complaint, and (iii)denied Mr. Dolgoff's motion to have a receiver
appointed.
The Company appealed the New York Supreme Court's decision regarding the
disqualification of Anderson, Kill and the denial of its motion to dismiss Mr.
Dolgoff's complaint. Mr. Dolgoff applealed the New York Supreme Court's denial
of his motion to have a receiver appointed. In January of 1997, the Supreme
Court of the State of New York Appellate Division First Department (the "First
Department") affirmed the lower court's disqualification of Anderson, Kill , and
the lower court's denial of the Company's motion to dismiss, but also ordered
that a receiver be appointed to protect whatever interest, if any, Mr. Dolgoff
may ultimately be able to prove that he has in any of the inventions that Mr.
Dolgoff assigned to the Company. At the present time, neither the nature, nor
scope, nor authority, nor term of the receivership has been determined, all of
which will be decided by the New York State Supreme Court which initially denied
Mr. Dolgoff's motion for a receivership. In addition, at this time, neither the
Appellate Court nor any other court, has determined that Mr. Dolgoff has any
proof to support his claims; the Appellate Court has merely reaffirmed the lower
court's decision that, at this preliminary stage of the litigation, Mr.
Dolgoff's complaint has satisfied procedural pleading requirements. The Company,
which vigorously denies all of Mr. Dolgoff's allegations, believes taht it has
meritorious defenses with respect to all of Mr. Dolgoff's claims and intends to
vigorously defend the litigation. Moreover, since the institution of the
litigation by Mr. Dolgoff, new facts have come to the attention of the Company.
As a consequence, the Company intends, in the near futre, to seek leave fromt he
Court to amend its pleadings and file counter-claims against Mr. Dolgoff's, his
affiliated companies, Breakthrough Enterprises, Inc. And Floating Images, Inc.,
and members of the board of directors of those entities, for fraud, breach of
fiduciary duty, misappropriation of trade secrets, conversion, breach of
contract, diversion of corporate assets and opportunities, unjust enrichment,
and tortious interference with contractual relations. The Company also intends,
in connection with amending its pleadings, to seek injunctive relief and a
constructive trust, in addition to monetary damages in excess of $200 million
from Mr. Dolgoff and others.

In June of 1995 and August of 1995, two class action suits were filed
against the Company as well as certain of its officers and directors by
stockholders of the Company. In October of 1995, the plaintiffs in the first
action and the second action was dismissed without prejudice. In July, 1996 the
class action suit was dismissed without prejudice and the plaintiffs were given
an opportunity to replead. New pleadings have now been submitted to the Court by
the plaintiffs. The class action suit now alleges numerous violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including, but
not limited to, violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. The suit also
alleges claims for common law fraud and deceit. In response, the Company and the
individual defendants have submitted motions to dismiss the action. These
motions are pending before the Court.
Except as set forth above, the Company is not presently a party to any
litigation nor, to the knowledge of management, is any material litigation
threatened against the Company.

EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's Common Stock, Redeemable Warrants and Series B Preferred
Stock are quoted on NASDAQ under the following symbols:
Common Stock: PJTV
Redeemable Warrants: PJTVW
Series B Preferred Stock: PJTVP
The Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants were initially registered and
traded as Units and were not separately transferrable until August 24, 1991. The
Units commenced trading in the over-the-counter market on the closing of the
Company's initial public offering on August 1, 1990.
On February 27, 1992 the Company announced a two-for-one stock split,
effective March 2, 1992. Accordingly, all quoted prices for the Company's
securities commencing with the first quarter of 1992 are adjusted to reflect the
March 1992 two-for-one stock split.
The Series B Preferred Stock was initially registered on September 9,
1992 in connection with the Company's Redeemable Warrant incentive program (the
"Warrant Incentive Program"). Prior to that time, there was no public market for
the Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Warrant Incentive Program, holders
of the Company's Redeemable Warrants who exercised their Redeemable Warrants
within 65 days after September 9, 1992 received one (1) share of Series B
Preferred Stock for every three (3) Redeemable Warrants exercised. In connection
with the Warrant Incentive Program, the Company issued 246,452 shares of Series
B Preferred Stock.
The Common Stock, Redeemable Warrants and Series B Preferred Stock of
the Company are traded in the over-the-counter market and are quoted on the
NASDAQ inter-dealer automated quotations system. There is no public trading
market for the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (of which there is only one
(1) holder), Series C Preferred Stock (of which there is only one (1) holder),
or Series D Preferred Stock (of which there are only two (2) holders). The high

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in Item 14 hereof.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $3,421,387.
To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily from sales of capital
stock. The net loss for the year ended 1996 was $(10,880,893) versus a net loss
of $ 6,471,638 for the year ended 1995. The increase in the loss in 1996 versus
1995 is principally due to higher research and development expense and to higher
salary expense for engineering staff associated with the development of the
Digital Home Theater, as well as to interest expense and amortization of debt
expense associated with financing the development effort. In addition, higher
G&S expense is associated with increased participation in trade shows and with
travel in connection with marketing efforts and with starting up production of
the Digital Home Theater at the Company's third-party manufacturers. Legal fees
were incurred principally in connection with the Dolgoff Litigation.
In February, 1996, the Company completed a private placement of convertible
debt of $10.0 million which resulted in $9.5 million in net proceeds to the
Company after paying a 5% investment banking fee. The unsecured debt requires
quarterly interest payments in cash based upon an annual interest rate of 8%.
The debt matures in three (3) years, at which time any convertible debt then
outstanding is to be repaid by the Company in cash or common stock, at the sole
option of the Company.
The Company intended to use the proceeds from this offering principally
in connection with the commencement of the production and introduction of its
Digital Home Theater.
In June, 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 7,500 shares
of a newly created Series C Convertible Preferred stock for $ 7.5 million which
resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $7 million after paying investment
banking fees. The proceeds of this private placement were used primarily to
retire unconverted portions of the convertible debt which the Company issued in
February of 1996. There currently remains $1.5 million of convertible debt as of
March 13, 1997, all of which is held by one entity with whom the Company is
currently in litigation. See Item 3 "Legal Proceedings." At the present time,
5,625 shares of this Series C Preferred Stock are eligible for conversion (4,210
of which have been converted into an aggregate of 2,226,186 shares of the
Company's Common Stock) and the remaining 1,750 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock will be eligible for conversion on May 1, 1997. All shares of Series C
Preferred Stock are convertible at a 25% discount to the then current market
price of the Company's Common Stock at the time of
23
<PAGE>
conversion (the "Series C Conversion Price"); provided, however, that in the
event that the Series C Conversion Price is less than $1.50 per share, then
under no circumstances can shares of Series C Preferred Stock be converted into
the Company's Common Stock until such time as the Series C Conversion Price
exceeds $1.50 per share, subject to the following: (i) in the event that the
Company fails to either ship 2,500 projectors or generate $12,500,000 in
projector revenues during the period January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997, then
the Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced by $.50, or (ii) in the event
that the Company fails to ship 2,500 projectors and generate $12,500,000 of
projector revenues during the period July 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997,
then the Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced by $.50.
In January of 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 35,000 shares of
6% Series D convertible preferred stock to two foreign institutional investors
for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000, resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of $3,500,000. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible, at
the option of the holder, into shares of the Company's Common Stock as follows:
8,750 shares on or after May 1, 1997; 8,750 shares on or after July 1, 1997;
8,750 shares on or after September 1, 1997; and 8,750 shares on or after
November 1, 1997. The Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock
at a 25% discount to the then current market price of the Company's Common Stock
at the time of conversion (the "Series D Conversion Price"); provided, however,
that in the event that the Series D Conversion Price is less than $2.00 per
share, then under no circumstances can shares of Series D Preferred Stock be
converted into the Company's Common Stock until such time as the Series D
Conversion Price exceeds $2.00 per share, subject to the following: (i) in the
event that the Company fails to either ship 2,500 projectors or generate
$12,500,000 of projector revenues during the period January 1, 1997 through June
30, 1997, then the Series D Conversion Price shall be reduced by $.50, or (ii)
in the event that the Company fails to ship 2,500 projectors and generate
$12,500,000 of projector revenues during the period July 1, 1997 through
December 31, 1997, then the Series D Conversion Price shall be reduced by $.50.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from this offering principally
in connection with the commencement of the production and introduction of its
Digital Home Theater.
The Company also intends to rely on arrangements with retailers and
contract manufacturers in connection with meeting the balance of the capital
requirements necessary for the Company to manufacture, market and distribute the
Digital Home Theater.
24
<PAGE>
The Company is in the development stage and, to date, its sole revenues
have been $1,455,000. Of such revenues, $1,000,000 were derived from a
government agency to develop certain projection technology for use in a high
definition television projector and the balance, $455,000, from licensing
agreements. The Company has substantially completed research and development
with respect to the Digital Home Theater and the Projector, and, consequently,
the Company does not presently anticipate that any significant expenditure of
funds for research and development is necessary in order to complete the Digital
Home Theater and the Projector, although certain engineering refinements are
still ongoing, including optimizing picture brightness for a new rear projection
system. The Company is also expending research efforts in connection with
testing the feasibility of the Company's thin screen. In addition, due to the
inability of the Company's affiliate, Tamarack Storage Devices, Inc., to
commercialize its holographic storage technology and Tamarack's current lack of
prospects, the Company determined in the fourth quarter of 1996 to record a
reserve of approximately $2,100,000 against its entire interest in Tamarack. The
Company loaned Tamarack and additional $ 100,000 in November, 1996 which has not
been written off, since the funds are to repaid in March 1997 following receipt
of funds from DARPA.
Primarily as a result of work performed in developing its technology,
the Company has sustained losses aggregating approximately $29,368,430 from its
inception to December 31, 1996. The Company has continued to incur losses since
December 31, 1996.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had available for Federal income
tax purposes net operating and capital loss carryforwards of approximately
$21,000,000. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal
Revenue Code"), may impose certain restrictions on the amount of net operating
loss carryforwards which may be used in any year by the Company.

Broad Classification and Committees and Advisory Board
The Company adopted a classified Board of Directors in February, 1990.
The Board of Directors presently consists of eight members divided into three
classes. In order to realign the classes such that the term of office of each
Director in a given class expires at the third annual meeting of stockholders
following his election, Dr. Fields is being nominated for re-election for a
one(1) year term at the Company's 1997 Annual Meeting. Subsequent to the 1997
annual meeting, the Company will have three (3) Directors whose term expires in
1999, three (3) Directors whose term expires in 2000 and two (2) Directors whose
term expires in 1998. Having a classified Board of Directors may be viewed as
inhibiting a change in control of the Company and having possible anti-takeover
effects. Officers of the Company serve at the discretion of the Board of
Directors.
The Company has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and an
Executive Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the engagement of the
independent accountants, reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit
undertaken by the independent accountants and reviews the independence of the
accounting firm. The Audit Committee also reviews the audit and non-audit fees
of the independent accountants and the adequacy of the Company's internal
control procedures. The Audit Committee is presently comprised of Richard S.
Hickok, Jules Zimmerman and Martin D. Fife. The Audit Committee held one (1)
meeting during 1996. The Compensation Committee reviews compensation issues
relating to executive management and makes recommendations with respect
30
<PAGE>
thereto to the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee is presently
comprised of Jules Zimmerman, Richard Hickok, Martin Fife and Craig Fields. The
Executive Committee exercises all the powers and authority of the Board of
Directors in the management and affairs of the Company between meetings of the
Board of Directors, to the extent permitted by law. However, the Executive
Committee may not take any action unless a meeting of the Board of Directors
cannot be convened within three days after notice thereof. The current members
of the Executive Committee are Martin D. Fife, Martin Holleran and Marvin
Maslow. The Company formed a Special Executive Committee in 1995 to deal with
all matters relative to certain litigations in which the Company is a defendant.
The Special Executive Committee is not empowered to make any decisions on behalf
of the Board of Directors. The Special Executive Committee is comprised of
Marvin Maslow, Martin Holleran, Martin Fife, Jules Zimmerman, Richard Hickok and
Craig Fields. The Special Executive Committee held one (1) meeting in 1996. The
Board also held four (4) regular and six (6) special meetings in 1996.
Except for Mssrs. Fields and Lipper, each member of the Board of
Directors who is not an officer or employee of the Company receives $8,000 per
year, plus $1,000 for each Board of Directors or committee meetings attended for
serving as Director. In 1996, Dr. Craigs Fields received an aggregate $ 24,000
from the Company, and Mr. Arther Lipper, and his affiliated entities, received
an aggregate of $ 50,000 from the Company. These sums include payments to Mssrs.
Fields and Lipper by the Company for various consulting services provided by
each of them to the Company in 1996, which services were in addition to their
duties as an outside director. The Company reimburses its Directors for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with meetings of the Board of
Directors or committee meetings attended. There are no family relationships
among any Directors or officers.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of
its Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Officers, directors and greater than ten
percent stockholders are required by the Commission to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
31
<PAGE>
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it,
or written representations from certain reporting persons that no reports on
Form 5 were required for those persons, the Company believes that during 1993
all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than
ten percent stockholders were complied with.

Executive Employment Agreements
The Company entered into an employment agreement in July 1990 with Marvin
Maslow to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Maslow's
employment agreement, which was to initially expire in July, 1995, was
automatically extended in January 1995 by its terms for an additional 30 months.
That employment agreement was terminated and replaced with a new executive
employment agreement effective March 1, 1997. Under the terms of his new
employment agreement, Mr. Maslow receives the same salary and benefits that he
received under his old employment agreement which were a salary of $150,000 per

entitled to other expense reimbursements. Finally, the Company is providing a

wife. Mr. Maslow is required to devote substantially all of his time to the
business of the Company. The term of Mr. Maslow's new employment agreement is
six (6) years with a two-year extension, and it contains change in control
provisions. The Company provides for a $ 500,000 life insurance policy for the
benefit of the Company.
The Company entered into a three (3) year employment agreement with Mr.
Martin Holleran in November 1993 to serve as the Company's President and Chief
Operating Officer at a salary of $180,000 per year. Upon the expiration of this
agreement (which was orally extended by the parties subsequent to its term), the
Company entered into a new executive employment agreement with Mr. Holleran
effective March 1, 1997. Under his new executive employment agreement, Mr.
Holleran receives a salary of $220,000 per year and is required to devote all of
his time to the business of the Company. Mr. Holleran also is entitled to other
expense reimbursements. In addition, the Company provides to Mr. Holleran a
$1,000,000 life insurance policy for the benefit of his wife. The term of Mr.
Holleran's new executive employment agreement is six (6) years with a two-year
extension, and it contains change in control provisions. The Company provides
for a $ 1,000,000 life insurance policy for the benefit of the COmpany.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into an executive employment
agreement with Mr. Sherman Langer. The term of Mr. Langer's employment agreement
is three (3) years and provides for a salary of $165,000 per year and also
contains certain change in control provisions.
Each of Messrs. Maslow, Holleran and Langer have agreed not to compete
with the Company during the term of his respective
38
<PAGE>
employment agreement or for a period of two years after the termination thereof.
All of the executive employment agreements contain termination for cause
provisions.
Subsequent to the closing of the Company's initial public offering in 1990,
the Company retained Jules Zimmerman as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
In connection therewith, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with
Mr. Zimmerman and Hickok Associates whereby the Company is billed on an hourly
basis for the work performed by Mr. Zimmerman. Hickok Associates discontinued
operations as of December 31, 1996. Since that time Mr. Zimmerman has continued
to provide his services to the Company as Chief Financial Officer on an hourly
basis.
Indemnification Agreements
The Company has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each of its
Directors and any officer, employee, agent or fiduciary designated by the Board
of Directors which provides that the Company indemnify the Director or other
party thereto to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The agreement
includes indemnification, to the extent permitted by applicable law, against
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with any civil or criminal action or administrative proceeding arising out of
the indemnitee's performance of his duties as a Director or officer of the
Company. Such indemnification is available if the indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Under the Indemnification Agreement, the entitlement of a Director or
officer to indemnification will be determined by a majority vote of a quorum of
disinterested Directors, or if such quorum either is not obtainable or so
directs, by independent counsel or by the stockholders of the Company, as
determined by such disinterested Directors. If a change of control of the
Company has occurred, the entitlement of such Director or officer to
indemnification shall be determined by independent counsel selected by such
Director or officer, unless such Director or officer requests that either the
Board or the stockholders make such determination.
Each Indemnification Agreement will require the Company to advance
litigation expenses at the request of the Director or officer who is a party
thereto whether prior to or after final resolution of a proceeding, provided
that he undertakes to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that he
is not
39
<PAGE>
entitled to indemnification for his expense. The advance of litigation expenses
will thereby be mandatory upon satisfaction of certain conditions by such
Director or officer.
The Company has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with all of its
Directors and officers. In addition, upon Dr. Fields' joining the Company's
Board of Directors, the Company also agreed to indemnify Dr. Fields with respect
to the aforementioned litigation relating to Tamarack during the period prior to
Dr. Fields' joining the Company's Board of Directors. The Company has obtained
officers' and directors' liability insurance which provides a maximum of
$4,000,000 of coverage, subject to a $100,000 deductible payable by the Company
except under certain circumstances for securities related matters in which case
the deductible is $200,000. Any payments made by the Company under an
Indemnification Agreement which are not covered by the insurance policy may have
an adverse impact on the Company's earnings.
Stock Option Plans and Agreements
Incentive Option Plan - In February 1990, the Directors of the Company
adopted and the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the
Company's 1990 Incentive Stock Option and Appreciation Plan which was amended in
June and July 1990. The purpose of the Incentive Option Plan is to enable the
Company to encourage key employees and Directors to contribute to the success of
the Company by granting such employees and Directors incentive stock options
("ISOs"), as well as non-qualified options and options and stock appreciation
rights ("SARs"). In November of 1993, a majority of the stockholders of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock voted in favor of increasing the
number of shares with respect to which options and SARs may be granted under the
Incentive Option Plan from 400,000 to 1,000,000.
The Incentive Option Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors
which will determine, in its discretion, among other things, the recipients of
grants, whether a grant will consist of ISOs, non-qualified options or SARs (in
tandem with an option or freestanding) or a combination thereof, and the number
of shares to be subject to such options and SARs.
The Incentive Option Plan provides for the granting of ISOs to purchase
Common Stock at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Non-qualified options and
freestanding SARs may be granted with any exercise price. SARs granted in tandem
with an option have the same exercise price as the related option.
40
<PAGE>
The total number of shares with respect to which options and SARs may be
granted under the Incentive Option Plan is 1,000,000. ISOs may not be granted to
an individual to the extent that in the calendar year in which such ISOs first
become exercisable the shares subject to such ISOs have a fair market value on
the date of grant in excess of $100,000. No option or SAR may be granted under
the incentive Option Plan after February 20, 2000 and no option or SAR may be
outstanding for more than ten years after its grant.
Upon the exercise of an option, the holder must make payment of the full
exercise price. Such payment may be made in cash or in shares of Common Stock
(based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date prior to
exercise), or in a combination of both. The Company may lend to the holder of an
option funds sufficient to pay the exercise price, subject to certain
limitations. SARs may be settled, in the Board of Directors' discretion, in
cash, Common Stock, or in a combination of cash and Stock. The exercise of SARs
cancels the corresponding number of shares subject to the related option, if
any, and the exercise of an option cancels any associated SARs. Subject to
certain exceptions, options and SARs may be exercised any time up to three
months after termination of the holder's employment.
The Incentive Option Plan may be terminated or amended at any time by the
Board of Directors, except that, without stockholder approval, the Incentive
Option Plan may not be amended to increase the number of shares subject to the
Incentive Option Plan, change the class of persons eligible to receive options
or SARs under the Incentive Option Plan or materially increase the benefits of
participants.
To date no options or SARs have been granted under the Incentive Option
Plan. No determinations have been made regarding the persons to whom options or
SARs will be granted in the future, the number of shares which will be subject
to such options or SARs or the exercise prices to be fixed with respect to any
option or SAR.
Non-Qualified Option Plan - In February 1990, the Directors and
stockholders of the Company adopted the 1990 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
which was amended in June and July 1990. The purpose of the Non-Qualified Option
Plan is to enable the Company to encourage key employees, Directors and
consultants to contribute to the success of the Company by granting such
employees, Directors and consultants non-qualified options. The Non-Qualified
Option Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors in the same manner as
the Incentive Option Plan.
41
<PAGE>
The Non-Qualified Option Plan provides for the granting of non-qualified
options at such exercise price as may be determined by the Board of Directors,
in its discretion. In November of 1993, a majority of the stockholders of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock voted in favor of increasing the
number of shares with respect to which options and SARs may be granted under the
Incentive Option Plan from 400,000 to 1,000,000 and with respect to which
options may be granted under the Non-Qualified Plan from 1,500,000 to 5,000,000.
Upon the exercise of an option, the holder must make payment of the full
exercise price. Such payment may be made in cash or in shares of Common Stock
(based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date prior to
exercise), or in a combination of both. The Company may lend to the holder of an
option funds sufficient to pay the exercise price, subject to certain

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of Projectavision, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Projectavision, Inc. (a
development stage company) (the "Company") as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and
the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, and for the
period September 9, 1988 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 1996. 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 did not audit the financial statements of Tamarack Storage
Devices, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company's investment in
which was accounted for by use of the equity method. The Company's equity of
$843,750 in the net loss of Tamarack Storage Devices, Inc. for the year then
ended is included in the accompanying financial statements. The financial
statements of Tamarack Storaage Devices, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 were
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for such company, is
based solely on the report of such other auditors.
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, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Projectavision, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996 and for the period September 9, 1988 (date of
incorporation) to December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company is a defendant
in several lawsuits alleging, among other complaints, breaches of employment,
patent assignment agreements and wrongful termination, claiming actual and
punitive damages. In January 1997, the Court in one of these suits ordered that
a receiver be appointed to protect whatever interest, if, any, the plaintiff
may be able to prove in inventions assigned to the Company.
The Company is in the development stage as of December 31, 1996. As discussed in
Note 1 to the financial statements, the attainment of profitable operations is
dependent upon future events, including achieving a level of revenue adequate to
support the Company's then cost structure.
As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the Company is restating
its 1996 financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Projectavision, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation,
was incorporated on September 9, 1988. The Company has been formed to
complete development of a unique proprietary solid state projection
television and related video display technology. In addition, the company
will seek to identify new high technology and electronic products for
consumers and commercial customers. The Company is a development stage
enterprise and has generated no significant revenue from its planned
principal operations. Management of the Company believes that it has
sufficient funds to successfully complete its development program and to
sustain its operations. However, the attainment of profitable operations is
dependent upon future events including achieving a level of revenue adequate
to support the Company's then cost structure.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash Equivalents - The company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost and
depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets, with the exception of the plastic injection mold design
and tooling costs for the Digital Home Theater. These latter costs are
currently being capitalized, since the benefits to be derived from these
expenditures relate to future revenues, with depreciation to be based on
units-of-production, but using a minimum straight-line floor, and to begin at
the commencement of production. The estimated useful service lives of the
assets are as follows:
Tooling 100,000 units/10 years minimum
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 7 years
Computers and software 5 years
Leasehold improvements 3 years
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed based economic useful lives using the straight-line method.
Investments - The Company places its temporary cash with high credit quality
financial institutions and by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure
with any one financial institution, and invests in zero coupon treasury bills
to be held to maturity and which are stated at amortized cost which
approximates fair value. Changes in the market value of these investments
during the period are recognized as interest income. The maturities of these
investments range from January 1997 to January 1998, with face values between
$100,000 and $400,000.
Research and Development - Costs are expensed as incurred.
Net Loss Per Share - Net loss per share is computed based on the number of
shares outstanding during the period after deducting dividends on preferred
stock. The effect of other potentially dilutive securities is not included
because their effect is anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes - The Company's accounting for income taxes is such that
deferred taxes, determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates,
as well as any net operating or capital loss or tax credit carry forwards are
expected to reduce taxes payable in future years.
Stock-Based Compensation - In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which requires adoption of the
disclosure provisions no later than fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995 and adoption of the measurement and recognition provisions for
non-employee transactions no later than after December 15, 1995. The standard
defines a fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date
based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service
period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123,
companies are encouraged, but are not required, to adopt the fair value
method of accounting for employee stock-based transactions. The Company will
continue to account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but will disclose
in a note to the financial statements pro forma net income and per share
amounts as if the company had applied the new method of accounting.

2. REVENUE
Revenue for the period consisted of royalty income from licensing agreements
which is recognized when earned. Included in cumulative revenues is
$1,000,000 for engineering reports rendered to a government agency.
3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At December 31, 1996, the fair values of cash, cash equivalents, investments,
and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their carrying
values because of the short-term nature of these accounts. Convertible debt
has a carrying value of $1,762,983 and a fair value of $2,130,000. The fair
value of the convertible debt has been deemed to be equivalent to the value
of stock into which such debt is expected to be converted.
4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE
In 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with Tamarack Storage Devices,
Inc. ("Tamarack") pursuant to which The Company had the right to acquire up
to 50 percent of Tamarack's common stock representing 37.2 percent of the
issued and outstanding voting securities of Tamarack. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company invested $3,000,000 in the aggregate in Tamarack and
had accounted for this investment under the equity method. The goodwill
recorded with this investment, which represented the excess of the Company's
investment over the underlying net assets of Tamarack, was $1,883,995. Such
amount was being amortized over ten years and is reported in the statement of
operations as Equity in Loss from Unconsolidated Affiliate. Amortization
expense related to such goodwill for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994
and 1995 was $197,884 and $148,413, respectively. The Company issued 32,000
shares of common stock (valued at $109,120) for advisory services received in
connection with the acquisition. In 1994 the Company loaned Tamarack
$1,500,000 with interest payable at 6 percent.

<PAGE>
In 1995, Tamarack received a commitment from Projectavision to fund its cash
needs through December 31, 1995 to continue its operations as then
constituted. Pursuant to this $94,240 was advanced to Tamarack.
The Company recorded a reserve against its investment in Tamarack of $300,000
in 1994 and at December 31, 1995 the Company reduced its investment in and
advances to Tamarack as well as the goodwill associated with this investment
to zero recording an additional reserve of $2,129,252, which is included in
Equity in Loss of Unconsolidated Affiliate, due to Tamarack's inability, to
date, to commercialize its holographic storage technology and its current
lack of prospects. The remaining components of Equity in Loss of
Unconsolidated Affiliate in 1995 are amortization of goodwill of $148,413 and
$362,652 representing the Company's proportionate share of Tamarack's 1995
net loss. In addition, Tamarack continues to incur losses, and its viability
to achieve profitable operations is doubtful.
As of November 15, 1996, the Company classified its investment in Tamarack as
available for sale, and, in order to maximize the recovery of its investment,
loaned $100,000 to Tamarack. Also, in 1996 the Company's investment in
Tamarack increased to 52%. This amount is included in other current assets
and is to be repaid in March 1997 following receipt of funds from a
government agency. After eliminating the intercompany accounts and,
reflecting previous write-offs, Tamarack's financial statements are not
material to the Company and have not been consolidated. As Tamarack is
currently in the process of ceasing its operations, Tamarack's financial
statements are not expected to be material in the future.
5. PROVISION FOR ALLOWANCE ON ADVANCES
The Company has made advances through July 31, 1995 in contemplation of an
investment in a high technology company. The president of the Company is
related to an individual who is an executive officer and director of
Projectavision. Such advances aggregated $298,426 and had been fully reserved
for at December 31, 1995. In 1996 $109,166 of these funds were paid to the
Company as a final settlement of the amounts advanced.
6. ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
On March 19, 1990, an officer/stockholder of the Company entered into an
assignment agreement with the Company whereby all rights, title and interest
to the projection technology were assigned to the Company. The rights, title
and interest to the United States patent and foreign patents relating to the
projector technology under development by the Company were originally applied
for by this officer/stockholder.
7. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with two of its officers
and directors. Aggregated minimum compensation under these agreements will be
$360,000 per year through 1997. For 1994, 1995, and 1996 salary expense was
approximately $330,000, $527,000, and $577,453 respectively.

the sale of 200,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement
effected pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(Registration S). In addition, the Company received an additional $1,381,250
of gross proceeds in connection with the sale of 250,000 shares of its common

31,000 shares of its common stock in payment of private placements costs.

the sale of 920,860 shares of common stock in a series of private placements
effected pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(Registration S).
In April 1995 the Company issued 83,030 shares of common stock for legal,
financial, and design services. These shares were accounted for as an expense
equal to the fair market value of the stock, with a corresponding increase to
capital stock and additional paid in capital.
9. PREFERRED STOCK
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock provides for cumulative annual stock
dividends (payable in common shares) of 8 percent of the liquidation value of
$5 per share (for a total of $2,173,335 including shares issued on May 15,
1992 as discussed below) to be paid semiannually and is convertible to one
share of common stock, subject to adjustment. In 1994, 27,887 shares of
common stock were paid as stock dividends on Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock. This stock may be redeemed by the Company if certain conditions are
met for $1.00 per share.
In 1996, the Company issued 7,500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for
$7,500,000, resulting in net proceeds to The Company of $7,000,000 after
fees. The Series C Preferred Stock converts into shares of Common Stock at a
25% discount of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the
five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. The
holder of the Series C Preferred Stock has the right to convert into Common
Stock as follows: 25% can be converted on or after November 1, 1996; 25% may
be converted on or after January 1, 1997; 25% may be converted on or after
March 1, 1997; and 25% may be converted on or after May 1, 1997. The Company,
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the sale of the Series C
Preferred Stock, registered the shares of Common Stock into which the Series
C Preferred Stock is convertible in the third quarter of 1996. The Series C
Preferred Stock pays dividends semi-annually, seven (7) business days after
each of December 31st and June 30th of each year, which may be in cash or
shares of Common Stock at the election of The Company. The dividend rate is
3% per annum of the liquidation value of $1,000.00 per share until and
through June 30, 1997; 6% per annum from July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998;
and 8% per annum from July 1, 1998 and thereafter. The Company recognized a
dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock based on the amortization of the 25%
discount on the conversion into common stock over its earliest conversion
period and on the increase in the dividend rate. In January 1997, 3,750 of
the Company's Series C Preferred Stock have been converted into 1,948,188
shares of Common Stock.
<PAGE>
In January of 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 35,000 shares of 6%
Series D convertible preferred stock to two foreign institutional investors
for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000, resulting in net proceeds to
the Company of $3,500,000. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is
convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company's Common
Stock as follows: 8,750 shares on or after May 1, 1997; 8,750 shares on or
after July 1, 1997; 8,750 shares on or after September 1, 1997; and 8,750
shares on or after November 1, 1997. The Series D Preferred Stock is
convertible into Common Stock at a 25% discount to the then current market
price of the Company's Common Stock at the time of conversion (the "Series D
Conversion Price"); provided, however, that in the event that the Series D
Conversion price is less than $2.00 per share, then under no circumstances
can shares of Series D Preferred Stock be converted into the Company's Common
Stock until such time as the Series D Conversion Price exceeds $2.00 per
share, subject to the following: (i) in the event that the Company fails to
either ship 2,500 projectors or generate $12,500,000 projector revenues
during the period January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997, then the minimum
Series D Conversion Price shall be reduced by $0.50, or (ii) in the event
that the Company fails to ship 2,500 projectors and generate $12,500,000 of
projector revenues during the period July 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997,
then the minimum Series D Conversion Price shall be reduced by $0.50. In no
event would any converting shareholder receive any more than a 25% discount
to the purchase price of the common stock in the Company.

$10,000,000 of convertible debt resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$9,500,000. The convertible debt bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum
and pays interest quarterly in arrears on any unpaid or unconverted debt. To
the extent not previously converted, the convertible debt is due in January
1999, and may be repaid in cash or common stock of the Company at the sole
option of the Company. All conversions of convertible debt into common stock
are based upon a 25% discount of the price of the Company's common stock for
five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion.
In April 1996, the Company issued 1,456,329 shares of its common stock and
paid $4,357,000 in cash in exchange for retiring $7.2 million in convertible
debt. In July 1996, the Company issued 161,616 shares of its common stock
and paid $250,000 in cash in exchange for retiring $0.5 million of
convertible debt. In October 1996, the Company issued 155,000 shares of its
common stock and paid $351,250 in cash in exchange for retiring $0.7 million
of convertible debt. The Company recognized interest expense based on the
annualized pro-rata amount of the 25% discount on the conversion into common
stock and on the annualized pro-rata share of the placement costs. In
January 1997, the Company retired $100,000 of convertible debt for cash.
There currently remains $1.5 million in convertible debt outstanding.
11. STOCK OPTION PLANS
Non-qualified Option Plan - The Company has reserved 5,000,000 shares of
common stock for issuance upon exercise of options under a non-qualified
stock option plan adopted in February 1990 and amended in June 1990, July
1990, and November 1993. All options granted under this plan have been
granted at fair market value at the date of grant.
The following is a summary of non-qualified option plan activity for the
three years ended December 31, 1996:

11. STOCK OPTION PLANS (Continued)
The weighted fair value at date of grant for options granted in 1996 and
1995 was $2.59 and $3.03 per option, respectively. The fair value of options
at date of grant was estimated based on the opinion of such fair value
attributed by recipients of two of the grants with the following weighted
average assumptions:
1995 1996
---- ----
Expected life (Years) 5 5
Interest Rate 6.25% 6.25%
Volatility 89% 89%
Dividend Yield 0% 0%
Stock-based compensation costs did not impact pretax income or earnings per
share in 1996 and 1995. These costs would have been increased by $4.9
million or ($0.35) per share, in 1996 and $0.2 million, or ($.02) per share,
in 1995 had the fair values of the options been recognized as compensation
expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the grant.
Incentive Option Plan - In February 1990, the 1988 Incentive Stock Option
and Appreciation Plan was terminated and a new plan, as amended in June
1990, July 1990, and November 1993 was adopted under which options to
purchase l,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved. The incentive
option plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options (ISOS) at
an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on
the date the option is granted. ISOS may not be granted to an individual to
the extent that, in the calendar year in which such ISOS first become
exercisable, the shares subject such ISOS have a fair market value on the
date of grant in excess of $100,000. No option may be granted after February
20, 2000, and no option may be outstanding for more than ten years after its
grant. As of December 31, 1996, no options have been granted under the Plan.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In 1989 advances totaling $10,833 were made to a principal stockholder of
DKY and were outstanding at December 31, 1996.
13. INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 1995 and 1996, the composition of the Company's net
deferred taxes was as follows:
1995 1996
---- ----
Deferred tax assets $ 6,801,000 $ 9,800,000
Less valuation allowance (6,801,000) (9,800,000)
----------- -----------
Net $ - $ -
=========== ===========
Deferred tax assets principally result from the availability of net
operating and capital loss carry-forwards to offset income earned in future
years. The offsetting valuation allowance reduces total deferred tax assets
to an amount management believes will likely be realized.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had tax net operating and capital loss
carry-forwards of approximately $21,100,000, which expire in the years 2003
through 2010. The utilization of tax net operating and capital losses may be
subject to certain limitations.
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On November 18, 1994 the Company entered into a non exclusive,
non-transferable license without a right to sub-license, except to related
companies, with Samsung Electronics Co. pursuant to which the Company gave
to Samsung the right to use the Company's patented depixelization technology
(as defined) in connection with the manufacturing and marketing of LCD
projectors. The license is co-terminus with the life of the patents and
patent applications relating to the proprietary rights underlying the
license.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
The future minimum rental commitments as of December 31, 1996 are as
follows:
Year Amount
---- ------
1997 $257,554
1998 21,462
--------
$279,016
========
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 was $204,832 and
$209,695, respectively.
In 1994 a legal action was brought against the Company and various other
parties by several former employees and a former consultant of Tamarack. The
complaint alleged wrongful termination of employment and related charges.
This complaint was settled in February, 1996 at no cost to the Company.
In 1995 a legal action was brought against the Company, certain members of
the Board of Directors, and an employee of the Company by a former officer
and employee of the Company. The complaint alleges, among other actions,
breach of employment and patent assignment agreements. In January 1997, the
Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division First Department
(the "First Department") ordered that a receiver be appointed to protect
whatever interest, if any, this former officer and employee of the Company
may ultimately be able to prove that he has in any of the inventions that
were assigned to the Company. At the present time, neither the nature, nor
scope, nor authority, nor term of the receivership has been determined, all
of which will be decided by the New York State Supreme Court, which
initially denied the motion for a receivership. The Company intends, in the
near future, to seek leave from the Court to amend its pleadings and file
counterclaims for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of trade
secrets, conversion, breach of contract, diversion of corporate assets and
opportunities, unjust enrichment, and tortious interference with contractual
relations. The Company also intends, in connection with amending its
pleadings, to seek injunctive relief and a constructive trust, in addition
to monetary damages in excess of $200 million from this former officer and
employee and others.
In 1995 the Company was served with class action law suits, which have now
been consolidated, alleging various federal securities laws violations
primarily in connection with the Company's public disclosures. In July, 1996
the consolidated class action lawsuit was denied by the court.
In 1996 two of the eleven purchasers of the convertible debt commenced a
lawsuit against the Company seeking an order to have their debt converted
into common stock. One of the two purchasers settled their lawsuit with the
Company in October, 1996. The litigation with the other debt holder remains
outstanding.
In 1996, a suit was filed by a individual investor against the Company and
Marvin Maslow alleging fraudulent inducement in connection with the
plaintiff's purchase of the Company's securities. A motion to dismiss for
lack of Jurisdiction is currently pending before the U.S. District Court in
Florida.
In all of the above actions, the Company's management, based upon
discussions with counsel, believe that they have a meritorious defense
against these claims and intend a vigorous defense against these claims. The
Company's management believes that the outcome of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of
operations.

15. RESTATEMENT OF 1996 FINANCIAL RESULTS
In accordance with the SEC Staff's pronouncements relating to Emerging
Issues Task Force Discussion D-60, the Company is restating its financial
statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
restatement relates to the calculation of the discount for debt issued in
the first quarter of 1996 which was convertible into common stock at a
price below fair market value. The effect of this adjustment is to amortize
the full amount of this discount to interest expense over the earliest
conversion period. The adjustments made in the restatement of 1996 financial
information have no impact on the Company's stockholders' equity or total
assets.
The impact of the restatement on the Company's statement of operations is
summarized as follows:
<TABLE>

Report of Independent Accountants
March 24, 1995
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Tamarack Storage Devices, Inc.
In our opinion, the balance sheet and the related statements of operations, of
shareholders' equity and of cash flows (not presented herein) present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Tamarack Storage Devices, Inc.
(a development stage enterprise) at December 31, 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above. We have not audited the financial statements of Tamarack Storage Devices,
Inc. (a development stage enterprise) for any period subsequent to December 31,
1994.
The Company was in the development stage as of December 31, 1994, as planned
principal operations have not yet begun. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company believes it has commitments for sufficient funding to
continue operations through the year ending December 31, 1995. However, the
Company will need additional funding to continue operations subsequent to that
date. No adjustments have been made to these financial statements as a result of
this uncertainty.
