PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information, financial statements and notes to the financial statements
including the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The Company. The Company was originally incorporated in 1988 under the name
of Axcom Computer Consultants ("Axcom") and operated as a custom programming
and systems house. In May, 1993, the Company was acquired by Great Bay
Technology, Inc. for the purpose of focusing the Company on marketing and
sales of emerging cellular data technology hardware and proprietary software
focused on the vertical markets of wholesale distribution, manufacturing and
health care. The name was subsequently changed to Axcom Information
Technology, Inc. on May 27, 1993 and then changed again in April, 1994 to
Applied Cellular Technology, Inc.
The subsequent references to the Company refer to the parent company only on
matters prior to November of 1994. Thereafter, any references to the Company
include the Company and its acquired subsidiaries (TechTools, Inc. as of
November, 1994, Atlantic Systems, Inc. as of August, 1995 and Elite Computer
Services as of September, 1995.)
In November, 1994, the Company formed a subsidiary, Kedwell International,
Inc. by issuing 180,000 shares of its $.001 par value common stock. The
subsidiary purchased software in exchange for its 180,000 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $5.00 per share and for the issuance of
120,000 Class E Warrants of the Company. In August 1995, the Class E
Warrants were redeemed for 120,000 common shares of the Company. The name
of the subsidiary was subsequently changed to TechTools, Inc. in early 1995.
During 1994, the Company acquired 570,712 shares of Cadkey, Inc., a software
technology company, in exchange for 456,570 shares of its common stock,
resulting in a 29% investment in this corporation.
Pursuant to the original Articles of Incorporation, the Company has the
authority to issue an aggregate of Ten Million (10,000,000) common shares,
par value $1.00 per common share. In April, 1994, an amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation changed the par value to $.001 per common share.
The Company also has the authority to issue 20,000 shares of redeemable
Preferred Stock, par value $10.00.
The Company owns no real property and leases all of its facilities. The
Company's executive offices of approximately 2,000 square feet are located at
James River Professional Center, Suites 2 & 3, Highway 160 & CC, Nixa,
Missouri 65802. The Company's lease is for a term of one year beginning on
July 31, 1995 at a monthly rate of $500 per month.
The Company is a software development and services company which integrates
the technologies of Client-Server Computing; Object Oriented Programming;
Automated Data Collection Systems utilizing spread spectrum cellular
communications and auto-identification technologies; inter-processor and
inter-process communications using LU6.2, TCP/IP, RJE and proprietary
asynchronous and synchronous protocols and Micro-Cellular Radio Frequency
Data Networks. However, to date, revenues have been derived primarily from
the sales and distribution of third party hardware and software.

Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to utilize the sale of its Common Shares

assets and for working capital over the next twelve months
This Prospectus also relates to

Company will not receive any cash or
other proceeds in connection with the
subsequent sale. Any proceeds
received from the subsequent exercise
of the F Warrants shall be used as

operations.
Certain Factors to be Considered See "Risk Factors."
Absence of Dividends; Dividend Policy The Company does not currently
intend to pay regular cash dividends
on its Common Stock; such policy
will be reviewed by the Company's
Board of Directors from time to time
in light of, among other things, the
Company's earnings and financial
position. See "Risk Factors."

</TABLE>
<PAGE> 8
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RISK FACTORS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In analyzing this offering, prospective investors should read this entire
Prospectus and carefully consider, among other things, the following Risk
Factors:
Uncertainty of Future Financial Results. The Company has experienced
accumulated losses from operations to date and future financial results are
uncertain. As such, there can be no assurance that the Company can be
operated in a profitable manner. Profitability depends upon many factors,
including the success of the Company's marketing program, the maintenance or
reduction of expense levels and the success of the Company's business
activities. To date, the Company has accumulated losses from operations as of
December 31, 1994 of $(487,760), as of December 31, 1995 of $(320,386) and as
of March 31, 1996 of $(283,444). Lacking future profitable operations, the
Company will require additional capital. Even if the Company obtains future
financing or revenues to expand operations, increased rental expense for new
facilities would adversely affect liquidity of the Company. See "FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS."
Future Sales of and Market for the Shares. Upon successful completion of
the Offering of Common Shares herein the Company will have 3,309,516 common
shares outstanding, of which 2,609,305 Common Shares will be freely tradable
without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Securities Act"). No assurance can be given that the availability of
such Common Shares for sale will not have an adverse impact on the market
price of the Company's Common Shares. Prior to this Offering, there has been
a limited public market for the securities of this Company. Management of
the Company cannot predict to what extent a secondary market in the Shares
will continue to develop and provide liquidity for holders of the Common
Shares. See "SALE OF SHARES PURSUANT TO RULE 144" and "MARKET INFORMATION ON
COMMON SHARES."
Risks Associated with Acquisitions. A major part of the Company's plan of
operations is to acquire businesses within similar industries that have a
history of profitable operations. These acquired companies may have working
capital needs which may have a negative effect on the cash flow of the
Company. There can be no assurance that an acquired company will continue to
have profitable operations. When acquiring only certain assets of a
Company, there is a risk that important vendors may be overlooked or
eliminated. Also, unknown obligations may exist as well as litigation risks
that may not have been disclosed. The Company will attempt to retain
current management to minimize the risks. See "Current Acquisitions" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition."
Competition. The Company currently competes in the areas of route
accounting systems, warehouse management systems, manufacturing shop floor
control systems and custom data collection applications. The competitive
advantage in the areas of route accounting systems, warehouse management
systems and manufacturing shop floor control systems depends on the features
of the systems offered, price, performance and reliability of the hardware
components of the systems, services and reputation of the companies. These
markets are highly competitive and the Company has no specific advantage as
to price, features, performance and reliability or reputation. See "THE
COMPANY - Competition."
<PAGE> 9
Dependence on Key Individuals. The future success of the Company is highly
dependent upon the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified key
employees. The inability to obtain and employ these individuals would have a
serious effect upon the business of the Company. See "COMPANY - Employees"
and "MANAGEMENT."
Lack of Dividends. There can be no assurance that the continued operations
of the Company will result in any revenues or will be profitable. At the
present time, the Company intends to use any earnings which may be generated
to finance the growth of the Company's business. Accordingly, while payment
of dividends rests within the discretion of the Board of Directors, the
Company does not presently intend to pay dividends and there can be no
assurance that dividends will ever be paid. See "DIVIDEND POLICY."
Vulnerability to Fluctuations in Economy. Demand for the Company's proposed
products is dependent on, among other things, general economic conditions
which are cyclical in nature. Prolonged recessionary periods may be damaging
to the Company.
Experience of Officers and Potential Conflicts of Interests. The financial
success of the Company is dependent upon the management expertise, judgment
and experience of its officers. The death, disability or resignation of such
officers may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. The
Company intends to apply for key man life insurance of Garrett Sullivan.
The Company currently carries $500,000 of term insurance on Gary Gray,
divisional president and Andrew Werdeman, Programming Manager. The officers
and directors have the exclusive authority to manage and control and make all
decisions regarding the business and affairs of the Company. Mr. Garrett
Sullivan devotes all of his time to the affairs of the Company. Mr. Richard
Sullivan spends as much time as deemed necessary on the corporate business
affairs (estimated to be approximately 25% of his time) but is not required
nor expected to devote his entire time or efforts to the Company's business
and affairs.
Some of the officers and directors of the Company are currently principals of
other businesses. Although none of the officers and directors are principals
of competing business, the officers and directors use their best efforts to
resolve equitably any time conflicts that might result from acting as
principals for a number of businesses, but there can be no assurance that
such other activities will not interfere with the officers' and directors'
ability to discharge their obligations herein. See "MANAGEMENT - Conflicts
of Interest."
Benefit to Management. The current officers and directors have received
compensation and common shares for their services which were not below market
rate. Additionally, the Company will, in the future, compensate the
Company's management with market rate salaries and other benefits. Those
officers actively involved in the operations of the Company have received
market rate compensation. Although the Company intends to reserve 2,000,000
Common Shares for issuance pursuant to a stock option plan not yet
implemented, the Company has not yet developed a formal compensation plan for
officers and directors and is not expected to do so until the fourth quarter
of 1996 or the first quarter of 1997. Even though no compensation plan has
been proposed or agreed upon, the payment of future salaries, and the costs
of these benefits may be a burden on the Company. See "MANAGEMENT -
Remuneration."

THE COMPANY
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company. The Company was originally incorporated in 1988 under the name
of Axcom Computer Consultants ("Axcom") and operated as a custom programming
and systems house. In May, 1993, the Company was acquired by Great Bay
Technology, Inc. for the purpose of focusing the Company on marketing and
sales of emerging cellular data technology hardware and proprietary software
focused on the vertical markets of wholesale distribution, manufacturing and
health care. The name was subsequently changed to Axcom Information
Technology, Inc. on May 27, 1993 and then changed again in April, 1994 to
Applied Cellular Technology.
Pursuant to the original Articles of Incorporation, the Company has the
authority to issue an aggregate of Ten Million (10,000,000) common shares,
par value $1.00 per common share. In April, 1994, an amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation changed the par value to $.001 per common share.
The Company also has the authority to issue 20,000 shares of redeemable
Preferred Stock, par value $10.00.
The Company owns no real property and leases all of its facilities. The
Company's executive offices of approximately 2,000 square feet are located at
James River Professional Center, Suites 2 & 3, Highway 160 & CC, Nixa,
Missouri 65802. The Company's lease is for a term of one year beginning on
July 31, 1995 at a monthly rate of $500 per month.
There are presently outstanding 2,309,516 Common Shares and no Preferred
Shares. There are also 200,000 Class B Warrants outstanding, 300,000 Class
F Warrants and 450,000 Class I Warrants outstanding. See "DESCRIPTION OF
SECURITIES" and "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS."
Subsidiaries. In November 1994, the Company formed a subsidiary, Kedwell
International, Inc., and capitalized it by issuing 180,000 common shares of
the Company's $.001 par value common stock. The name of the subsidiary was
changed to Tech Tools, Inc. on April, 1995. The subsidiary purchased
software in exchange for the 180,000 common shares of the Company and 120,000
redeemable Class E Warrants which were exercisable to acquire one common
share of the Company at the price of $7.50 per common share or one redeemable
Class A Convertible Preferred Share of the subsidiary, or if the subsidiary
becomes a public company, into an amount equal to 40% of its total
outstanding common shares. The subsidiary's redeemable Class A Convertible
Preferred was to have
<PAGE> 13
paid a cumulative dividend compounded annually of 8% of the aggregate value
of $600,000. The Class A Convertible Preferred would have had cash
redemption rights five years after issuance at the option of the holder.
The redemption price shall be $5.00 per preferred share. These Class E
Warrants were exercised in August, 1995 into 120,000 common shares of the
Company. The value for the purchased software was determined by the market
price at acquisition of the shares given up less a 50% discount given to the
shares due to the limited market for these shares. The warrants were given
no value because the exercise price significantly exceeded the fair value of
the underlying common shares.
On December 22, 1994, the Company acquired 570,712 shares of Cadkey, Inc., a
software technology company from an unaffiliated individual, in exchange for
456,570 shares of its common stock, resulting in a 29% investment in Cadkey,
Inc. The purchase price was determined by the current market price at
acquisition of the shares given up less a 50% discount given to the shares
due to the limited market for these shares. The remaining 71% of Cadkey
common shares are owned by the founders (18.5%) who are unaffiliated with the
Company and 25 other unaffiliated individuals or entities.
During April, 1995, the Company formed a subsidiary, Applied Cellular
Technology Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation. The subsidiary was
formed to hold a note receivable from Cadkey, Inc. The Company purchased a
$1,000,000 note receivable in exchange for 200,000 common shares at a market
price of $5.00, with a 50% discount due to the limited market of the shares,
bringing the value down to $2.50 per share issued.
On August 9, 1995, the Company issued 124,066 shares of its common stock at
$5.50 per share to two shareholders in exchange for an amount of common
shares equal to 80% of the total outstanding common shares of Atlantic
Systems ("Atlantic"). The investment was recorded based on the $5.50 per
share market price less a 50% discount due to the limited market of these
shares. Atlantic develops and manufactures software and hardware systems for
the retail industry. Its major vertical market is retail liquor stores and
its secondary market is gift shops. Atlantic currently market in New
Jersey, where it has a 15% market share in the liquor stores with smaller
shares in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The Company intends to
expand Atlantic's activities nationally either through the acquisition of
similar companies to be absorbed into Atlantic beginning in the key markets
of Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles, or simply by adding marketing
personnel. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, Atlantic had
revenues of $1,414,620 and earnings of $16,801. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1993, Atlantic had revenues of $1,162,059 and earnings of $840.
On September 6, 1995, the Company issued 102,160 shares of its common stock
at $8.94 per share to two shareholders in exchange for an 80% investment in
Elite Computer Services, Inc. ("Elite") The investment was recorded based
on the $8.94 per share market price less a 50% discount due to the limited
market of these shares. Elite's main business is the purchase of mainframe
computers which are then stripped and the parts sold. Elite's facilities
consist of 5,000 square feet of office and assembly space and are located in
Randolph, New Jersey. Elite is obligated under a five year lease that expires
May, 1996. The total lease commitment as of December 31, 1995 is $28,125.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, Elite had sales of $2,020,650
and a loss of $32,976. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, Elite
had sales of $1,536,414 and a loss of $34,145.

Employees. In addition to management, the Company currently employs a
total of 35 individuals in the Company and its subsidiaries. These include
senior software developers, contract developers and a full time bookkeeper.
The Company's four subsidiaries employ a President, a Director of Marketing a
Manager of Development and a customer support technician. All software
development, customer support, accounting and administration support for the
subsidiary is provided by the Company's personnel.
Competition. The Company provides a combination of hardware technology,
proprietary vertical market application software packages, specialized
software engineering expertise and high-level consulting services. The
availability of all these capabilities from a single source makes the Company
able to serve the needs of firms of any size which are seeking to upgrade and
reintegrate their information systems.
The Company currently competes in the areas of route accounting systems,
warehouse management systems, manufacturing shop floor control systems and
custom data collection applications. The competitive advantage in the areas
of route accounting systems, warehouse management systems and manufacturing
shop floor control systems depends on the features of the systems offered,
price, performance and reliability of the hardware components of the systems,
services and reputation of the companies. These markets are highly
competitive and the Company has no specific advantage as to price, features,
performance and reliability or reputation.
Within the area of route accounting systems, there are at least 10 major
competitors, Within the area of warehouse management systems, there are at
least 50 competitors and within the areas of manufacturing shop floor control
systems there are at least 75 competitors.
In the area of custom data collection, competitive advantage depends on
price, availability, technical expertise and reputation of the companies.
There are several hundred companies operating in the area and, although
management is of the opinion that the Company has an excellent reputation,
client list and skill set, there might be from six to 100 companies who would
be qualified to respond to a particular bid request. The Company provides a
combination of hardware technology, proprietary vertical market application
software packages, specialized software engineering expertise and high-level
consulting services. The availability of all these capabilities from a
single source makes the Company able to serve the needs of firms of any size
which are seeking to upgrade and reintegrate their information systems.
Third Party Licenses. The Company's programs for distributors include
extensive customized programming. Certain accounting and host order
processing functions are provided under license from American Business
Systems, Inc. Certain warehouse automation and manufacturing data collection
functions are provided under license from Applied Automation Techniques, Inc.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General. The Company is a software development and services company which
integrates the technologies of Client-Server Computing; Object Oriented
Programming; Automated Data Collection Systems and communications systems
using radio frequency data networks and various other asynchronous and
synchronous protocols.
The Company offers custom-tailored software and hardware systems for
manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors with vehicle-based sales. The
applications offered automate various aspects of these businesses, including
order processing, inventory control, accounting, work-in-process control,
quality management and sales management. The Company operates as a
value-added reseller for several different manufacturers of computers, data
collection equipment and printers. The Company integrates this hardware with
custom-tailored software, specific for the customer's needs. The software
may be based on an existing application from a third party or may be entirely
proprietary to the Company. As a distributor, the Company's hardware sales
comprised 31.81% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1994 and
54.84% of total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
Current Activities. During 1992, a decision was made to wind down the
Company's sales activity on custom-written data collection systems and to
stop selling general-purpose computer hardware and accounting/inventory
control systems. Sales of this type of system accounted for about 40% of
the Company's gross revenues in 1992. The decision resulted from to
shrinking margins on this type of system and an effort to reduce the high
overhead associated with selling and supporting the general purpose computer
hardware. Fiscal 1992's results show the effects of these reduced margins
and Fiscal 1993's results show reduced revenue but improved margins as a
result of the discontinuation of the general purpose systems.
In May, 1993 the focus of the Company's business operations was changed to
marketing and sales of emerging cellular data technology hardware and
vertically-focused, proprietary software. Subsequent to the acquisition of
Axcom by Great Bay Technology Group, Axcom's former president, Larry Axon,
remained as Director of Special Projects to ensure the Company retained its
backlog of business and smoothly transitioned relationships with its key
business partners, especially Telxon. Mr. Axon has since left the Company to
pursue other interests.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the Company principally received
revenue from programming services ($184,335), the sale of hardware products
($102,661) software licensing revenue ($29,582) and other revenue ($6,191).
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Company principally received
revenue from programming services ($442,874), the sale of hardware products
($1,281,101) software licensing revenue ($151,229), packaged software sales
($417,600) and other revenue ($43,195).
Current Acquisitions. A major part of the Company's plan of operations is
to acquire businesses within similar industries that have a history of
profitable operations. These acquired companies may have working capital
needs which may have a negative effect on the cash flow of the Company. When
acquiring only certain assets of a Company, there is a risk that important
vendors may be overlooked or eliminated. Also, unknown
<PAGE> 16
obligations may exist as well as litigation risks that may not have been
disclosed. The Company will attempt to retain current management to
minimize the risks Additionally, there can be no assurance that an acquired
company will continue to have profitable operations.
The Company shall acquire the targeted companies as subsidiaries of the
Company. Subsidiaries which compliment each other shall be integrated
together or integrated into the Company. The Company shall initially run
the targeted companies without integration into other subsidiaries or itself,
however, if there is a real compatibility with product or services of two
owned entities of the Company, the Company shall evaluate possible
integration.
On August 4, 1995, the Company, acquired certain assets of Baler Software
Corporation ("Baler") in exchange for the payment of debt of $14,000, and the
issuance of 88,009 shares of the Company's common stock at $5-1/8 to
creditors and the issuance of 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
$5-1/8 to one shareholder. Mr. Ron Rheiman. The aggregate value of
consideration paid by the Company was $289,303. Mr. Rheiman is not an
affiliate of the Company and its affiliates and owns less than 5% of the
Company's common stock. The value for these shares was determined based on a
50% discount given to the market price of $5-1/8, due to the limited market
for these shares, giving them a value of $2.56 per share. The assets
purchased were the source code, inventory and manuals for a family of
software development tools (primarily Visual Baler, a spreadsheet compiler)
which are being marketed by TechTools. Selected fixtures and furnishings
were also included in the purchase. Baler was acquired and absorbed into the
current operations of the Company's subsidiary, TechTools, Inc. One Baler
technical support employee was transferred into TechTools, Inc. operations.
Founded in 1988, Baler invented the spreadsheet compiler. Its product line
compliments the current DataBoss family of software development tools.
TechTools, Inc. intends to market the Baler products through retail
distributors, direct mail catalogs and through direct sales to corporation.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, Baler had revenues of $722,442 and a
loss of $616,059. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, Baler had
revenues of $818,009 and earnings of $45,461.
On February 8, 1996, the Company's subsidiary, Atlantic purchased certain
assets relating to fixture, furnishings, proprietary retail software for
liquor stores and customer lists of Quality Solutions, Inc. The sellers
did not retain any ownership in the assets. The only member in active
management of the assets previously, Mr. John Beasley, now functions as the
SouthWest District Sales Manager for Atlantic Systems. The aggregate value of
consideration paid by the Company was $225,000.
On March 7, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 80% of
Burling Instruments, Inc. of Chatman, New Jersey ("Burling"). The Company will
purchase 80% of the outstanding common shares of Burling with the Company's
preferred stock, par value $100 with an 8% annual dividend (pending the
Company's shareholder approval of an increase in its preferred stock, which is
probable due to the fact that the majority ownership shareholders have been
involved with the acquisition negotiations in the entirety, and are in favor of
the acquisition). The aggregate value of consideration paid by the Company is
$957,600. Vern Anderson is affiliated with the Company due to his continued
position as President of Burling, retained the remaining 20% of the Burling
common stock of Burling. Burling is a fifty year old company which
manufactures digital and analog temperature control devices for home and
industry use.
There are not currently any other plans, arrangements, negotiations, or
understandings with respect to any future acquisitions.

Products.
Cellular Data Technology. The Company is a value-added reseller for
Aironet, the leading manufacturer of cellular data radio equipment. Aironet
designs and builds radio and base station components which are used to
establish wireless connections between portable computing devices and host
networks. Aironet also manufactures a line of products for connecting two or
more networks together between buildings at distances up to 6 miles. Aironet
is headquartered near Toronto, Ontario and is a subsidiary of Telxon
Corporation.
The Company utilizes the Aironet equipment to build tailored data collection
systems which capture events at the point of transaction (shop floor,
warehouse, work yard, etc.) and connect to network databases for immediate
update. The Company can integrate these systems with a wide variety of
mainframe, mid-range and networked host computers. Installation of wireless
data collection systems into existing facilities requires adapting to the
existing network topology, communication protocols, database structures and
application procedures. The Company is providing the consulting, design,
development and implementation services. The Company does not assemble or
manufacture any of the products it distributes.
Proprietary Software Applications. Since May, 1993, the Company has
embarked on a program of development to bring five proprietary products to
market, Automated Route Management System (ARMS), Automated Distribution
Management System (ADMS), Automated Inventory Management (AIM),
Compliance-Plus UCC-128 labeling System and the TransPort/open, Universal
Communications Hub. As a single source of supply, the Company achieves
better account control, better return on sales expense and can differentiate
itself from competitors offering only a partial solution. Currently, the
ADMS, ARMS and the Compliance-Plus UCC-128 Labeling System products have
been completed. In fiscal year 1995, these products generated 28% of the
Company revenue. The TransPort/Open, Universal Communications Hub and AIM
are still in the development stage.
Route Management System (ARMS). For manufacturers and
distributors of perishable products which are sold from route trucks, the
Company offers a complete system for managing route sales. The ARMS system
makes use of hand held computers which are used at the retailer's location by
the route salesman to record the quantity of each item on hand, record the
quantity stale, display a system-calculated recommended stock level, and
enter the quantity delivered. An invoice is printed. Periodically, the
salesman's truck is replenished from a feeder truck equipped with a portable
computer. The feeder truck carries an order for the salesman which was
calculated based on the past four weeks' usage. Information on sales,
stales, promo and unsalable merchandise is downloaded from the salesman's
computer to the portable and his hand held unit is updated from the portable
for the quantity of product being loaded on his truck from the feeder truck.
The feeder truck returns to the home office where route sales, payments,
stales and unsalables information is processed and uploaded to the central
system. (Customers can choose to buy their central system from the Company
or utilize the system's generalized interfaces which the Company or the
customer can use to communicate with an existing host system.) Pertinent
reports are produced by the system to ensure proper financial controls and to
provide meaningful management information.
<PAGE> 18
The Company's route management system is applicable to a wide range of
business which sell perishable products from route vehicles.
Distribution Management System. ("ADMS") ADMS includes proven
programs which the Company has installed in a number of customer sites.
Taken together, they represent an integrated system for automating all phases
of the distribution operation. Included are solutions for the following
functional areas:
* Remote Customer Order Entry. Customers scan shelf labels
and/or an order book to enter their order into a Telxon portable
transaction computer ("PTC"). The order is then telephoned into
a central Telxon receiver PC at the warehouse. Orders are
sent from the PC receiver via TCP/IP (ethernet) to the host
system for processing.
* Order Book Processing. Order Books can be printed for a
specific customer using their contract pricing or at one of
five standard price levels (or printing with no pricing can
be selected). The books can be bar-coded or non-bar-coded.
* Customer Shelf Label Processing. Bar coded reorder shelf
labels can be printed from customer history (only the products
a customer typically buys) or for all products in a category.
The labels can show the customer's retail price, if desired.
Customers can be assessed a charge per label.
* On-Line Customer Order Services. Customers with in-store
computers can send an order to the company's Electronic Message
Center PC, located at the warehouse for processing by the
host. After an order has been invoiced, packing slip data is
automatically sent to the Message Center for downloading to
the customer's system to automatically update costs and
quantities on the in-store computer.
* Pricing, Promotions, Bulletins and Quotations. Customers
can elect a number of different pricing schemes for each or a
group of customers, including level pricing, category pricing
and contract pricing. Special promotional price contracts
can be entered which take effect and expire on a specified
date. Price contracts whose effective date falls with a
specified period can be extracted automatically and imported
to a word processor or desktop publisher for preparation of
customer promotion bulletins showing price changes,
promotions and new and obsolete products. The same features
which support pricing can be used to generate priced order
books and quotations.
* Sales Analysis. Cumulative sales information is stored for
each order, weekly salesman totals by category and product and
monthly sales totals by product for each customer. Standard
sales analysis reports include weekly sales totals by
salesman and customer monthly item movement. Special reports
can be written from any of the files using an optional report
writer.
* Inventory. Perpetual inventory balances are automatically
updated from purchase order receipts and shipping confirmation.
Multiple warehouses are supported. Cycle counts and physical
inventories are
<PAGE> 19
performed using bar code scanners. Bar code slot tags allow
for easy identification of products by pickers and to
facilitate bar code entry of cycle counts and physical
inventory counts.
* Data Import/Export. Key system master files can be built
from text-format files output from other systems. This
drastically reduces the time required to convert to the new
system and reduces errors introduced by keypunching master
file data.
* Accounts Receivable. The A/R system features flexible
statement and aging parameters, cash application/reapplication,
purge paid items and customer inquiry screen.
* Accounts Payable. The A/P system features cash
requirements report, automatic distribution of expenses to
general ledger and an automatic interface to the purchase
order system.
* Purchase Orders. The Purchase Orders system features
create, edit and print purchase orders; receive all or
exceptions only receiving confirmation, automatic update of
inventory and an automatic interface to the payables system.
* General Ledger. The General Ledger system features
flexible account number and report formatting and automatic
interfaces from A/R and A/P.
Inventory Management System (AIM). In addition to the
inventory control features of the Company's system for distributors, a
special set of programs is available to manage inventory levels and assist
the purchasing department in various replenishment buying activities. AIM
analyzes usage, safety stock, lead time and order minimum data to assist the
buyer in consolidating a replenishment order for a selected vendor. By
displaying items in color (red, yellow and green), AIM alerts the buyer to
items needing attention. AIM can be interfaced to virtually any inventory
control system to achieve automatic building and balancing of orders. which
saves buyers hours of work and reduces inventory; facilitates alternate
source buying, promotional buying, forward buying, etc., easily switches
items from one vendor to another; automatic rebuilding to new specifications,
allows buyers to see the effects of proposed changes in safety stock, order
frequency, etc. and improved order fill rates and customer service levels.
Compliance-Plus UCC-128 Labeling System. For manufacturers
and distributors which supply products to larger retail chains, Compliance-
Plus provides for printing bar coded shipping labels which conform to the
formats specified by the retailers. In addition, the system allows for
verifying shipments by scanning the labels using hand held laser terminals
and comparing the scans against the customer's order. The system provides
for transferring order information into Compliance-Plus from the host order
processing system and for creating advance ship notice EDI transactions for
electronic transmission to the retailer.
TransPort/open, Universal Communications Hub. In May, the
Company released a Unix-based communications program which management
believes has the same or better functionality than current PC-based solutions
to handle most types of one- and two-way communications between a
centrally-located host computer and portable computers and hand held
terminals. Advantages of a Unix-based system include the capability to
support large numbers of remote units simultaneously and the capacity to
support additional remote units on a single system through the upgrading of
CPU and
<PAGE> 20
memory capacity. The system will support communications to most host
systems including PC networks, Unix systems, IBM mainframes and proprietary
systems such as Digital Equipment Corporation VAX systems.
Automated data collection applications in manufacturing shop floor control.
The Company markets a tailored version of Applied Automation Technologies'
(Miami, Florida) Auto-Time time and attendance and job cost system which it
tailors to meet customer's requirements.
The percentage of total revenues derived from the above five software
products was .8% in Fiscal 1993, 9% in Fiscal 1994 and 28% for Fiscal 1995.
Future Products. Future products to be developed by the Company
will tend to be driven by the Company's goal to stay focused on one of the
four market sectors outlined above (Distribution, Manufacturing, Health
Care, and Information Systems). All will take advantage of or support the
emerging cellular data hand held and pen-based systems. The Company
expended $27,765 on company sponsored or customer sponsored research and
development for Fiscal 1995 compared to $27,850 for Fiscal 1994.
Other product areas being explored are:
Small, affordable automated data collection system for amusements,
theaters and hospitality businesses. These systems will be used to track
customer volume, profiles and preferences. The Company has already provided
one such system to a theme park and is working with another major national
theme park group on an RF-based system to capture data at the point of
transaction for various park attractions.
Automated data collection applications in medical cost control. With
physicians under pressure by hospitals, patients, employers, and the
government to reduce their fees, the ability to show the true cost of
procedures will be vital to every physician. The Company believes that
upcoming health care reform will create an instant demand for such systems
across the country.
Services. In addition to providing fixed-price, turnkey systems which
automate one or more functions within a business, the Company provides its
customers with consulting and support services to help ensure successful
implementation and smooth integration of each step along the customer's path
toward complete automation.
Business planning services are billed at an hourly rate and are intended to
assist the client with defining, budgeting, scheduling and measuring the
results of new systems.
Available contract support services include data center management, data
center operation, help desk (problem resolution and product support),
disaster restart/recovery, off-site data storage, and off-site operation.
Support services billed hourly include hardware configuration and
installation, employee acquisition and training, implementation facilitation
and quality assessment.
It is expected that each system installed by the Company will require some
degree of customization - either changes to the basic package or interfacing
to an existing host computer or both. This customization (or excess
development capacity) is sold as contract
<PAGE> 21
services and used to provide needed revenue to fund cash requirements. An
important advantage of the contract services is the opportunity to learn
about new applications and develop new core technologies at the customers'
expense.

Marketing and Sales. Emphasizing consultative services, proprietary
software and leading-edge hardware solutions, the Company's marketing efforts
are focused on medium to large sized corporations who have already made a
decision to upgrade and reintegrate their corporate systems. The Company's
sales activities are carried out by its President and a Sales Manager.
Telephone canvassing and seminars are used to develop new sales
opportunities. The Company also receives referrals from its business
partners. Often the Company will undertake a consulting engagement, performed
at a fee, to assist the customer in determining the need for a system, a
recommended implementation program and an expected pay back. The President
and two application engineers participate in such consulting activities.
The Company intends to expand its sales force as cash flows permit. Nine
metropolitan areas have been identified for commencing sales activities. A
team sales approach is used, wherein senior application engineers support
sales personnel with on-site evaluations. Engineers are expected to be
deployed at a ratio of one for every two or three salespeople. The nine
location sales force expansion is expected to be completed by the end of
calendar 1996.
In addition to the direct sales force, the Company will build a dealer
channel for its communications and database products as funds allow. These
will be a combination of value-added resellers, software publishers and
distributors. Management has not yet commenced building said channel and
cannot anticipate when it will be commenced or completed. This delay is due
to the decision to cultivate the alternative marketing relationship with Data
Documents, Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska, who will market the Company's Compliance
"PLUS" product. The Company has established an informal marketing
partnership with Data Documents, Inc. ("DDI"). Under this informal
agreement, DDI (through its 100plus person sales force) has agreed to work
with the Company to identify prospects for the Company's Compliance-Plus
system and the Company's custom data collection software services. DDI
receives no remuneration in this relationship except the opportunity to sell
the customers consumable products such as labels and ribbons which are
required in the operations of the systems installed by the Company. To
date, over 30 DDI sales representatives have been trained on the Company's
products and services and the companies are jointly working on a near and
long-term customer sales opportunities.
Value-Added Reseller Relationships. Value-added reseller relationships
with major hardware and software manufacturers have allowed the Company to
keep current on hardware, databases, programming and application
technologies, while participating in selected sales opportunities referred to
the Company from these manufacturers. Reseller
<PAGE> 22
agreements entered into with these manufacturers afford the Company the
opportunity to sell the manufacturer's products at a discount and often
provides for technical documentation, training and support from the
manufacturer or distributor. Some manufacturers with which the Company
maintains such relationships are:
Telxon Corporation. The Company is a value-added reseller ("VAR") for
Telxon, a $350 million annual sales international manufacturer of portable
batch, RF and pen-based portable transaction computers ("PTC's"). Telxon's
share of the batch PTC market is estimated at 24%; its share of the emerging
RF PTC market is estimated at 47%. The Company has developed a strong
relationship with Telxon during its five years as a Telxon VAR. Although
Telxon has over 250 value-added resellers, Telxon selected the Company as
only one of six VAR's to hold a permanent position on its VAR Council, a
steering group which meets four times annually to review the needs of
Telxon's VAR channel, receive insider information regarding new products and
services and recommend improvements in Telxon's policies, procedures,
products and services. In addition, the Company is one of only four VAR's
selected to participate in Telxon's Software Products Committee, a steering
group tasked with determining Telxon's direction in operating systems,
communications and application software.
Telxon focuses on the manufacturing and marketing of hardware and relies upon
VAR's such as the Company to provide the application software and interface

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trends and Uncertainties. The Company has tried to eliminate the major
variables of interest rates and operating expense. However, as the Company
has little or no control as to the demand for its products and services,
inflation and changing prices could have a material effect on the future
profitability of the Company.
The Company had previously conducted negotiations for the purchase of Cra-Tek
Industrial Controls & Electric. The Company considered the acquisition to be
more probable than not. The Company had hoped to acquire eighty percent of
the fully diluted and outstanding classes of all authorized and outstanding
shares of Cra-Tek in exchange for restricted common shares of the Company
with demand registration rights. Cra-Tek conducts its operations in a 5,000
square foot building at 3650 51st Avenue in Sacramento, California. The
Cra-Tek acquisition negotiations were terminated, due to the fact that Cra-
<PAGE> 24
Tek did not receive necessary Board approval for the purchase by the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will not expend its
efforts and funds in the future to pursue other acquisitions which may prove
unsuccessful.
The Company's lease in Nixa, Missouri expires at June 30, 1996, Elite's lease
expires on May 31, 1996 and Burling's lease expires on August 31, 1996. The
Company intends to negotiate a smaller space for probably less rent at the
same office complex. At the current time, Elite and Burling have conducted
preliminary discussions with its current lessor and, based on those
discussions, do not anticipate a higher lease rate upon renewal. In all three
of these locations, there are many other lease opportunities at different
facilities at similar rates. The Company does not anticipate that there shall
be any material impact on its cashflow due to the expiration of these leases
and current cashflow is sufficient to continue to pay the lease amounts.
Capital Resources and Liquidity. The Company currently has no material
commitments for capital expenditures. The Company currently has a negative
cash flow from investing activities, and operating activities, however, the
Company has positive cash flow from financing activities which is sufficient
to cover the Company's working capital needs on a short-term basis.
The Company registered outstanding Common Shares and Class A, B and C
Warrants on behalf of selling securityholders. To date, the Company received
a total of $943,046 from the exercise of its Class A Warrants and $67,500
from the exercise of its Class C Warrants. These proceeds shall be used to
increase operations, to develop new products and for working capital.
For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company had an increase in
notes receivable - related party of $1,330. The Company had an increase in
other assets of $15,500. Payments for equipment, computer software and
leasehold improvements were made in the amount of $9,585. Net cash used in
investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was $26,415.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company applied $20,967 of
receipts to the note receivable from Cadkey, Inc. The Company had an increase
in other assets of $38,058. Payments for equipment, computer software and
leasehold improvements were made in the amount of $7,941. Payments for

receivable - shareholder of $108,437. Payments were received on the note
receivable from Cadkey, Inc. of $240,632. The Company had an increase in
other assets of $107,958. Payments for equipment, computer software and
leasehold improvements were made in the amount of $40,199. The Company had
payments for costs of 80% acquisitions (net of cash balances acquired) of
$183,208 and had payments for costs of the acquisitions of $119,355. The
Company made payments on its notes payable - officers of $86,849. Net cash
used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1995 was
$100,793.
For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company experienced an increase in
deposits of $450. However, an officer of the Company repaid $2,832 of the
principal and interest due on a loan received from the Company. The Company
loaned Great Bay Technology, Inc., an affiliated company an additional
$90,058 so that the affiliate could pursue
<PAGE> 25
negotiations on acquisitions which may eventually be assigned to the
Company. Payments for equipment and computer software were made in the
amount of $14,923. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 1994 was $102,559.
For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company paid $1,083 on its
capital lease obligation. The issuance of common stock resulted in an
increase of $159,214 in additional paid-in capital and common stock. The
Company paid net amounts of $34,550 on notes payable. All of the above
resulted in $123,581 net cash provided by financing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 1995. These monies were used to continue and increase
operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company received funds on new
notes payable in the amount of $181,101. The Company paid $7,103 on its
capital lease obligations. The Company had a decrease in notes payable
officers of $64,944. The issuance of common stock resulted in an increase of
$21,124 in additional paid in capital and common stock. All of the above
resulted in $130,178 net cash provided by financing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.
The Company had an agreement with a bank for a line of credit of up to
$150,000. The agreement calls for interest to be charged at 8% and is
secured by an officer's personal property. The line of credit expired on July
6, 1995 and the Company decided not to renew said line of credit. The Company
had an outstanding balance of $137,047 and $0.00 at December 31, 1994 and
December 31, 1995, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
Company paid $171,048 on all lines of credit and $15,318 on its capital lease
obligation. The issuance of common stock resulted in $516,778 in additional
paid-in capital. The redemption of its Class A preferred stock by Daniel E.
Penni Trust resulted in a decrease in cash flow of $147,392. All of the above
resulted in $96,171 net cash provided by financing activities for the year
ended December 31, 1995. These monies were used to continue and increase
operations.
The Company did have a line of credit for Elite Computer Systems, Inc. which
was acquired September 8, 1995 which was $29,999 at December 31, 1995.
Subsequent to year end, the line of credit was paid off and terminated.
On a long term basis, liquidity is dependent on increased revenues from
operations, additional infusions of capital and debt financing. The Company
believes that additional capital and debt financing in the short term will
allow the Company to increase its marketing and sales efforts and thereafter
result in increased revenue and greater liquidity in the long term. The
Company believes that its increased revenue from operations in addition to
proceeds received from this offering, if any, will result in sufficient
working capital and liquidity in the long term. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional equity or debt
financing in the future, if at all.
Plan of Operation. The Company plans to increase its current revenues
and net earnings by two measures. One is to use the Company's current
industry knowledge to expand sales in high-tech areas, the other is to
acquire businesses within similar industries that have a history of
profitable operations and are managed by skilled owners or professional
managers.
<PAGE> 26
The current operating divisions of the Company, (i) TechTools, Inc., a
software development tool business, (ii) the Company's operations in Nixa,
Missouri, as a value added reseller; (iii) Atlantic Systems, a developer and
marketer of retail software and hardware systems; and (iv) Elite Computer
Systems, a purchaser of used main frames to sell for parts, generated
approximately $2,335,999 in revenues in the fiscal year 1995 and are
projected to generate approximately $5,500,000 in 1996. The Company's
operating divisions are in market segments, computer software and hardware,
that are growing. No external matters in the industry have occurred that have
effected the Company in an adverse way. The Company has not experienced any
labor difficulties or any other internal impediments.
The nature of the Company's business, computer software development and
distribution and the marketing of purchased computer hardware and hardware
components, do not require any significant ongoing capital expenditures, only
increases in working capital. Any proceeds utilized from the sale of the
common shares registered in this offering would be used primarily to fund the
increased working capital needs of the existing affiliated companies and to
retire some existing debt. If the registration was unsuccessful, management
would pursue lines of credit and increase the factoring arrangement (90% of
receivables under 60 days) at the Company or it may pursue a private sale of
its preferred stock. Management plans to establish a factoring arrangement
for TechTools, Inc. and a line of credit for Atlantic Systems, Inc. if
required.
Additional acquisitions by the Company could increase the revenue base.
Management intends to pursue a registration of 2,000,000 common shares in
1996 for the express purpose of acquiring three or four companies that would
be strategic additions to the existing core companies or divisions. The
acquisitions are part of the Company's strategy to build a major
international software, manufacturing and technology business through
strategic, consolidating acquisitions. The acquisition strategy of the
Company is to acquire companies at favorable prices with steady cash flows.
The Company plans to increase profits through the projected gross margin
objectives of 40-45% for hardware and 80-85% for software products. Broadened
product lines will allow each division to increase its customer base, which
will result in an increase in earnings. The Company's objective to increase
profitability of each division is to continue growth through 1) acquisition
of established successful business with above average expansion or growth
potential 2) internal expansion of existing businesses 3) introduction of new
products into existing sales channels and 4) the development of new ventures
and expanded market opportunities for existing products.
The investment in Cadkey has no effect on the Company's cash flow and,
consequently, does not have any effect on the Company's ability to survive.
For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company had a negative cash
flow from operations of $88,953. This was mainly due to an increase in
accounts receivable ($129,373) and prepaid expenses ($46,848). The
preliminary estimate for 1996 indicates that the Company's performance should
be able to obtain a positive cash flow in the second quarter of 1996 and that
its cash flow needs can be met through current operations along with the
issuance of its common stock. Management's assessment of future performance
is limited to projections based on current conditions and does not include
any uncertainties which may arise. Potential investors should not attribute
undue certainty to management's assessment. Management does not intend to
furnish updated projections.
<PAGE> 27
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company had a negative cash
flow from operations of $156,213. This was mainly due to an increase in
accounts receivable and an increase in unbilled receivables.
Results of Operations. Services, sales, fees, licensing and other revenue
increased to $1,233,234 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from
$222,836 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 mainly due to the
Company's recent acquisitions which resulted in an increase in revenue from
the sale of hardware products from $90,217 for the three months ended March
31, 1995 to $769,437 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and packaged
software sales of $234,465 compared to $0.00 for the three months ended March
31, 1995 (received as a result of one of the recent acquisitions). Software
licensing revenue decreased from $72,373 for the three months ended March 31,
1995 to $49,342 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 due to its change
in its business focus as described above and increased operations.
Direct costs increased from $155,129 for the three months ended March 31,
1995 to $748,137 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 due to costs
related mainly to hardware products ($485,421) packaged software sales
($131,691), costs of programming services ($118,605) and costs of software
licensing revenue ($11,920) while operating expenses increased from $56,551
to $438,517 (mainly from an increase in administrative expenses from $49,355
to $303,060 and marketing and sales expenses from $7,196 to $135,457 for the
same periods). This resulted in operating income of $46,580 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to operating income of $11,156 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995. Programming services provided 26.19% of
the total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to
12.73% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 due to the Company's change
in business focus.
Direct costs comprised 69.62% of total revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 as compared to comprising 60.66% for the same period in 1996.
The decrease in the direct cost to revenue percentage is due to the Company's
change in business focus and its recent acquisitions. The Company received
revenue of approximately $1,233,234 in the first quarter of 1996 and the
Company expects the revenue level will continue in the second quarter of
1996, and the Company will continue its marketing efforts to obtain increased
revenues.
Service, sales, fees, licensing and other revenue increased to $2,335,999 for
the year ended December 31, 1995 from $322,769 for the year ended December
31, 1994 mainly due to the Company's recent acquisitions which resulted in an
increase in revenue from the sale of hardware products from $102,661 to
$1,281,101 for year ended December 31, 1995 and packaged software sales of
$417,600 (received as a result of one of the recent acquisitions). Software
licensing revenue increased from $29,582 for the year ended December 31, 1994
to $151,229 for the year ended December 31, 1995 due to its change in its
business focus as described above and increased operations.
Direct costs increased from $269,868 for the year ended December 31, 1994 to
$1,186,213 for the year ended December 31, 1995 due to costs related mainly
to hardware products ($676,838) packaged software sales ($159,388), costs of
programming services ($271,174) and costs of software licensing revenue
($74,306) while operating expenses increased from $533,046 to $981,212
(mainly from an increase in administrative expenses from $421,864 to $634,376
and marketing and sales expenses from $83,326 to $346,836 for the same
periods). This resulted in operating income of $168,574 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 compared to an operating loss of $(480,145) for the year
ended December 31, 1994.
<PAGE> 28
Programming services provided 57.11% of the total revenue for the year ended
December 31, 1994 as compared to 18.96% for the year ended December 31, 1995
due to the Company's change in business focus. Direct costs comprised 83.61%
of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to
comprising 50.78% for the same period in 1995. The decrease in the direct
cost to revenue percentage is due to the Company's change in business focus
and its recent acquisitions. The Company received revenue of approximately
$2,335,999 in fiscal year 1995 and the Company expects the revenue level
will continue in the first quarter of 1996, and the Company will continue
its marketing efforts to obtain increased revenues.
Revenues from the Company's operations decreased significantly in fiscal year
1994 from 1993. Total Revenue was $322,769 for the year ended December 31,
1994 as compared to $410,346 for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the
combined results of Axcom and the Company for the year. Programming services
revenue decreased from $349,456 for the year ended December 31, 1993 to
$184,335 for the year ended December 31, 1994, respectively. The decrease in
programming services revenue was due entirely to a strategy direction
decision by the Company to market, through alternative channels, its
Compliance Plus proprietary software and to acquire other third party
proprietary software products, moving away from custom programming and
consulting. Although programming services decreased, revenue from hardware
products increased from $52,106 in fiscal year 1993 to $102,661 in fiscal
year 1994 and software licensing revenue increased from $3,256 in fiscal year
1993 to $29,582 in fiscal year 1994. These increases were due to the change
of focus of the Company's business operations to marketing and sales of
cellular data technology hardware and vertically-focused, proprietary
software rather than general-purpose computer hardware and
accounting/inventory control systems. As of December 31, 1994, the Company
experienced a decrease in accounts receivable from December 31, 1993 of
$19,528, an increase in prepaid expenses of $13,780 and an increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $54,062. These all related to the
Company's attempt to increase operations after the acquisition of Axcom
Computer Consultants, Inc. The Company also experienced an increase in
unbilled receivables of $3,001 which represents work in process comprised of
work for hire software services. Under the terms of the preliminary agreement
with the customer, these items are not billable until the delivery date is
formalized. All of the above items resulted in net cash used in operating
activities of $(284,983) for the period ended December 31, 1994.
The Company is seeking to reduce its operating expenses while increasing its
customer base and operating revenues. The Company is focusing on decreasing
administrative costs, however, these amounts have increased as a result of
the purchase of the software "DataBoss" in November, 1994 by the
Corporation's subsidiary Tech Tools, Inc. and the other acquisitions by the
Company. Additionally, increased marketing expenses will probably occur in
future periods as the Company attempts to further increase its marketing and
sales efforts.
Pro Forma Consolidated Results of Operations. Giving effect to the probable
acquisition of Burling Instruments, Inc. As of January 1, 1996, the proforma
March 31, 1996 net revenues increased to $1,663,498 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $1,233,234 for that same period if the
acquisitions had not occurred as of January 1, 1996. Direct Costs increased
from $748,137 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $1,038,781 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 giving effect to the probable acquisition.
As a result, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$485,097 compared to the proforma amount of $624,717 for the same period.
Operating expenses increased from $438,517 to $608,452 for the three months
ended March 31,
<PAGE> 29
1996 giving effect to the acquisitions. Dividends in the amount of $18,000
reduced net income in the proforma income statement for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 giving effect to the probable acquisition, and recording the 8%
preferred stock dividend. Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders
decreased from $36,942 to $(9,940) for the three months ended March 31, 1996
giving effect to the probable acquisition.

<PAGE> 32
Issuance of Warrants to Certain Shareholders and Officers. In January 1996,
the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 450,000 Class I warrants
to certain shareholders and officers. The warrants will be exercisable for
a period of five years from the date of issuance at the exercise price of
one Warrant plus $2.87 for each Common Share.
Related Party Transactions. The Company originally loaned $14,230 to one
officer for personal reasons at the interest rate of 6% with current balance
of $12,982 and amounts totaling approximately $108,437 to Great Bay
Technology, Inc. at the interest rate of 8% with a current balance of $0.00.
The loans do not have a payback term. Due to the lack of a specific payback
term, it is management's opinion that the terms of the loans are believed to
be less favorable, though not materially so, to the Company as those that
would have been entered into with unrelated parties. Management has adopted
the policy that future loans to any related parties shall be made at terms at
least as favorable to the Company as those that would have been entered into
with unrelated parties and will not be made if such loans will negatively
effect the Company's cash flow and hamper continued operations.
For services rendered in connection with the three acquisitions which took
place in the third quarter of 1995, the Company paid its affiliate company -
Great Bay Technology Group, Inc. $50,000 for each acquisition for investment
banking services and $76,500 for acquisition services rendered in the fourth
quarter for acquisitions to occur in 1996.
Consulting Agreement. The Company has entered into a consulting
agreement with Pratt, Wylce & Lords, Ltd. ("Pratt") to assist the Company in
its capitalization and the obtainment of additional financing. As partial
payment for consulting services, the Company issued 86,500 of its common
shares to Pratt, 40,000 which were distributed to Pratt shareholders pursuant
to its registration statement declared effective in August, 1994. In
addition, Pratt received cash compensation of $35,000.
Lockup Agreement. Pursuant to an oral agreement on May 15, 1994 and a
written agreement on September 14, 1994, the shareholders who received
warrants issued them pursuant to the "Joint Action by Unanimous Consent of
the Board of Directors and Shareholders" date March 25, 1994 have agreed as
follows:
In the event the shareholder exercises any warrants, the stock issued to the
shareholder pursuant to the exercise shall be locked in and restricted from
trading for a period of two years. A notice is to be placed on the face of
each stock certificate covered by the terms of the Agreement stating that the
transfer of the stock evidenced by the certificate is restricted until
twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance. The shareholder also
agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer their interest in the warrants
except to an underwriter or other market makers in the stock once a market is
established. The shareholder further agrees that the total value in cash,
or other consideration, paid by the buyer to the seller shall not exceed
$.001 per warrant.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of March 31, 1996, the Company currently has 2,309,516 shares of Common
Stock outstanding. This does not include any Common Stock issued upon exercise
of the Class F Warrants. Other securities may be issued, in the future, in
private transactions pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act are
"restricted securities" and may be sold in compliance with Rule 144 adopted
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Rule 144 provides, in essence,
that a person who has held restricted securities for a period of two years may
sell every three months in a brokerage transaction or with a market maker an
amount equal to the greater of 1% of the Company's outstanding shares or the
average weekly trading volume, if any, of the shares during the four calendar
weeks preceding the sale. The amount of "restricted securities" which a
person who is not an affiliate of the Company may sell is not so limited:
Nonaffiliates may each sell without limitation shares held for three years.
The Company has made application for the listing of its Shares in the NASDAQ
system. Sales under Rule 144 may, in the future, depress the price of the
Company's Shares in the over-the-counter market, should a market develop.
Prior to this offering there has been a limited public market for the Common
Stock of the Company. The effect, if any, of a public trading market or the
availability of shares for sale at prevailing market prices cannot be
predicted. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of shares in the
public market could adversely effect prevailing market prices.

inception no dividends on the Company's common stock have ever been paid, and
the Company does not anticipate that dividends will be paid on its common
stock in the foreseeable future.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qualification. The following statements constitute brief summaries of the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended. Such
summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
The Company's articles of incorporation authorize it to issue up to
10,000,000 Common Shares, par value $.001 per Common Share and 20,000
Preferred Shares, par value $10.00 per Preferred Share. The currently
outstanding 2,332,375 Common Shares are fully paid and non-assessable.
Currently 500,000 Common Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to
outstanding Class B and Class F Warrants.
Common Stock. Holders of Common Shares of the Company are entitled to cast
one vote for each share held at all shareholders meetings for all purposes,
including the election of directors, and to share equally on a per share
basis in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of
funds legally available therefor. Upon liquidation or dissolution, each
outstanding Common Share will be entitled to share equally in the assets of
the Company legally available for distribution to shareholders after the
payment of all debts and other liabilities. Common Shares are not
redeemable, have no conversion rights and carry no preemptive or other rights
to subscribe to or purchase additional Common Shares in the event of a
subsequent offering. All outstanding Common Shares are, and the shares
offered hereby will be when issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Cumulative Voting. The Common Shares have cumulative voting rights.
Dividends. There are no limitations or restrictions upon the rights of
the Board of Directors to declare dividends out of any funds legally
available therefore. The Company paid dividends of Class A and Class B
Warrants on March 17, 1994 as further described below, however, it is not
anticipated that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. The
Board of Directors initially may follow a policy of retaining earnings, if
any, to finance the future growth of the Company. Accordingly, future
dividends, if any, will depend upon, among other considerations, the
Company's need for working capital and its financial conditions at the time.
Class B Warrants. Pursuant to a special meeting of the shareholders held on
March 17, 1994, a dividend was declared to the shareholders of record as of
April 30, 1994. One Class A Warrant and One Class B Warrant was distributed
for each .305 shares of common stock owned.
There are currently no Class A Warrants issued and outstanding. All of the
Class A Warrants were exercised.
<PAGE> 37
There are currently a total of 200,000 Class B Warrants issued and
outstanding. The Class B Warrants are exercisable at $20.00 to purchase one
share of Common Stock. The Class B Warrants are exercisable for a period of
four years from the date of issuance and may be redeemed by the Company with
30 days notice for the redemption price of $.001 per Class B Warrant.
Class I Warrants. In January 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the
issuance of 450,000 Class I warrants to certain shareholders and officers.
The warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date
of issuance at the exercise price of one Warrant plus $2.87 for each
Common Share.
Class F Warrants. In December, 1994, 300,000 Class F Warrants were
authorized and issued to two officers and directors of the Company. The Class
F Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of
issuance and shall be exercisable at the rate of $2.50 for each Common Share.
The Company is currently registering on behalf of selling Warrantholders, the
Common Stock underlying the Class F Warrants in this registration statement.
Preferred Stock. The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the
issuance of 20,000 Preferred Shares, par value $10.00. The Preferred Stock
authorized may be issued from time to time in series. The Board of Directors
of the Company is authorized to establish such series, to fix and determine
the variations and the relative rights and preferences as between series, and
to thereafter issue such stock from time to time. The Board of Directors is
also authorized to allow for conversion of the Preferred Stock to Common
Stock under terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors.
The ability of the Board of Directors to determine the rights, preferences,
privileges and limitations of the Preferred Shares (specifically the voting
rights) could result in a potential antitakeover effect of the Preferred
Stock. Such rights, preferences, privileges and limitations as may be
established by the Board of Directors could have the effect of impeding or
discouraging a change in the control of the Company.
Transfer Agent. Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer, Inc. acts as its transfer
agent for the securities of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. & Subsidiaries
Springfield, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1995 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1994 And 1995
1. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Tech Tools, Inc. and ACT Financial Corp. which were formed in
November 1994 and April 1995, respectively, and its majority-
owned subsidiaries, Atlantic Systems, Inc. and Elite Computer
Services, Inc., in which an 80% interest was acquired by the
Company in August and September 1995, respectively. All
significant intercompany investments, transactions and account
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash And Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to
the estimated collection losses that will be incurred in
collection of all receivables. The estimated losses are based on
historical collection experience coupled with a review of the
current status of the existing receivables. There is no
allowance for uncollectible accounts reflected in the balance
sheet as Company management is of the opinion that no allowance
is necessary.
Unbilled Receivables
The Company records an unbilled receivable to account for
salary expenses and certain other expenses that apply to
customer projects not yet billed.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Inventories
The Company's inventories consist mainly of new and used
computers, computer parts and software. The inventory is
valued at the lower of cost or market, determined by the FIFO
(first-in, first-out) method. The Company closely monitors
and analyzes inventory for potential obsolescence and slow-
moving items based upon the aging of the inventory listing and
the inventory turns by product. The Company will provide an
allowance for obsolete inventories if deemed necessary from
the analysis.
Equipment And Leasehold Improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and amortization computed using
straight-line and accelerated methods. The assets are
depreciated and amortized over periods ranging from three to
seven years.
Organization Costs
Organization costs, such as legal fees and incorporation
costs, are capitalized and amortized over five years.
Loan Fees
Loan fees are capitalized using the straight-line amortization
method over the life of the loan.
Investment In Common Stock
The Company acquired a 29% interest in Cadkey, Inc. in
December 1994. The Company accounts for this investment using
the cost method. The resulting goodwill is being amortized
straight-line over 7 years.
The Company's policy for making on-going determinations of the
net realizable value for the investment in Cadkey, Inc.
includes receiving quarterly unaudited financial statements
and annual audited financial statements that management uses
as an integral part of its on-going assessment. Management
also conducts an on-going review of readily available industry
statistics and compares these results to the investee
company's results to assess the investee company's operating
performance relative to other industry participants and to
assess the on-going prospects for the investee company's
industry as a whole.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note Receivable - Cadkey, Inc.
The Company's policy for making on-going determinations of the
net realizable value of the note receivable from Cadkey, Inc.
is not only to review the overall performance of Cadkey, Inc.
as discussed within the Investment in Common Stock footnote,
but also to closely monitor the note repayment schedule agreed
to by Cadkey, Inc. in order to assess the continuing
likelihood of repayment and the on-going net realizable value
of the Cadkey, Inc. note. The carrying value of the note
receivable has been reduced by 50%, as a result of the
discounting of the value of the shares exchanged to acquire
the note receivable because of the restricted nature and the
limited market of those common shares (Note 16).
Goodwill
The goodwill resulting from the purchase of 80% ownership in
Atlantic Systems, Inc. and Elite Computer Services, Inc. (Note
16) is being amortized over 10 years.
The Company's policy for making on-going determinations of the
net realizable value of the goodwill is to monitor the net
income of Atlantic Systems, Inc. and Elite Computer Services,
Inc. and to determine if the expected income levels over the
remainder of the 10 year amortization period would exceed the
carrying value of the goodwill. If impairment of the goodwill
appears likely, a reduction in the carrying value would be
recorded at that time.
Purchased Computer Software
Purchased computer software is stated at cost less accumulated
amortization. The purchased computer software is at the
stage of technological feasibility which is considered to have
occurred when a product design and working model of the
software product have been completed and the completeness of
the working model and its consistency with the product design
have been confirmed by testing. Amortization is computed over
the greater of current revenues divided by the total of
expected revenues or straight-line over the number of years
of expected revenue. The straight-line life is determined to
be 5 years. The Databoss computer software purchased by
Tech Tools, Inc. in November 1994 (Note 17) has been amortized
beginning in July 1995 when it was available for release to
customers. Amortization began for the software acquired from
Baler Software Corporation in August 1995 at the date of its
acquisition (Note 16).

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
For programming, consulting and software licensing services,
the Company recognizes revenue based on the percent complete
for fixed fee contracts, with the percent complete being
calculated as either the number of direct labor hours in the
project to date divided by the estimated total direct labor
hours or based upon the completion of specific task orders.
It is the Company's policy to record contract losses in their
entirety in the period in which such losses are foreseeable.
For non fixed fee jobs, the revenue is recognized based on the
actual direct labor hours in the job times the standard
billing rate and adjusted to realizable value if necessary.
For product sales, the Company recognizes revenue upon
shipment. There are no significant post contract support
obligations at the time of revenue recognition. The Company's
accounting policy regarding vendor and post-contract support
obligations is according to the customers contract, billable
upon the occurrence of the post-sale support.
The Company does not experience many product returns, and
therefore, Company management is of the opinion that no
allowance for sales returns is necessary. The Company has no
obligation for warranties on hardware sales, because the
warranty is given by the manufacturer. The Company does not
offer a warranty policy for their services to customers.
Proprietary Software In Development
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," the Company has
capitalized certain computer software development costs upon
the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological
feasibility is considered to have occurred upon completion of
a detailed program design which has been confirmed by
documenting and tracing the detail program design to product
specifications and has been reviewed for high-risk development
issues, or to the extent a detailed program design is not
pursued, upon completion of a working model that has been
confirmed by testing to be consistent with the product design.
Amortization of computer software costs is provided based on
the greater of the ratios that current gross revenues for a
product bear to the total of current and anticipated future
gross revenues for that product or the straight-line method
over the estimated useful life of the product. No
amortization was charged against revenue during the year ended
December 31, 1995. Amortization will begin in 1996 when the
products are ready for release to the general public.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the
weighted average number of common and dilutive common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive
common equivalent shares consist of convertible preferred
stock and common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options
and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Under the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, common stock
issued by the Company during the 12-month period prior to the
initial public offering and stock options granted during the
same period, that had an exercise price that was less then the
IPO price, have been included in the calculation of common and
common equivalent shares using the treasury stock method as
if they were outstanding for all applicable periods (pre IPO
period only).
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes
currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to
differences between the basis of goodwill, investment in 29%
owned company, equipment and leasehold improvements, and net
operating loss carryforwards for financial and income tax
reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent
the future tax return consequences of those differences, which
will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled.
The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated tax
returns. Income taxes are paid by the parent company and
allocated to each subsidiary through intercompany charges.
2. Operations
Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. was incorporated in May 1993

12. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate
the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash And Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the
short maturity of those instruments.
Accounts Receivable
The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Note Receivable - Officer
The carrying amount approximates fair value because the stated
interest rate fluctuates with market rates.
Note Receivable - Cadkey, Inc.
The carrying value of the note approximates fair value because
the interest rate of the note approximates the current rate
that the Company could receive on a similar note, and also
because this agreement was renegotiated in the current year.
Note Payable - Line Of Credit
The carrying amount approximates fair value because the stated
interest rate fluctuates with current market rates.
Notes Payable - Officers
The carrying amount approximates fair value as the interest
being charged is at a current market rate.
Accounts Payable
The carrying amount approximates fair value.

13. Income Taxes
The Company has computed its income tax provision in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 ("SFAS109"), which was effective for 1993 and years
thereafter.
The provision for income taxes includes current taxes and
deferred taxes computed on the temporary differences in the
basis of certain assets and liabilities between financial
statement and income tax reporting purposes. The principal
source of deferred income taxes as of December 31, 1995
consists of differences in the basis of goodwill and an
investment in a 29%-owned company.
The provision for income taxes consists of:

16. Stockholders' Equity
The Board of Directors approved a 420-for-1 stock split
effective March 1994. The Board of Directors also approved
an increase in the number of authorized shares of common
stock to 10,000,000, with par value of .0024 per share, and
authorized the issuance of 20,000 shares of redeemable
preferred stock, par value $10 per share. In April 1994,
the Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the
par value to $.001 per common share. The preferred stock
shares were to be redeemable by the Company at any time but
were required to be redeemed by the Company at such time as
it had received a cumulative total of $500,000 in funding
or capitalization through private placement, warrant
exercise, public offering or any other such means excluding
lines of credit or revenue from sales and excluding funds
received from the sale of said preferred stock.
Subsequently the terms of the preferred stock were changed
to five-year, noncumulative, 6% redeemable shares with the
dividend and redemption solely at the option of the Board
of Directors of Applied Cellular Technology, Inc.
In March 1994, the Company received $200,000 from an
investor for the preferred stock mentioned above.
In 1995 the Company redeemed the preferred shares and
issued 11,765 shares of common stock and paid the preferred
shareholder $147,392.
Effective March 1994, the Company authorized the issuance
of common stock purchase warrants as follows: 200,000 A
warrants exercisable at a rate of 1 warrant plus $4.75 to
purchase one share of common stock and 200,000 B warrants
exercisable at 1 warrant plus $20 to purchase one share of
common stock and 45,000 class C warrants exercisable for a
period of three years from the date of issuance at the rate
of 1 warrant plus $1.50 for one share of common stock.
Both the A & B purchase warrants are effective for a period
of 4 years from the date of issuance and shall be callable
with 30 days notice for a price of $.001 per warrant.
The Company declared a dividend to the shareholders of
record effective March 21, 1994. Said dividend was in the
form of A and B common stock purchase warrants. The
dividend was at a rate of one A and one B warrant for each
.305 shares of common stock owned.
The net loss per common share and all references to the
number of shares of common stock have been restated to
reflect the aforementioned stock split.

In March 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with
Pratt, Wylce & Lords, Ltd. ("Pratt"), for services to be
provided in connection with the registration (Note 19) and
other consulting services. In March 1994, the Company
issued 86,500 shares to Pratt. The shares were issued at
the fair value as of the date of issuance in direct payment
for services related to the registration. Consulting
expense at December 31, 1994 related to the registration
amounted to $129,750.
In November 1994, 120,000 redeemable E warrants were issued
as part of the acquisition of software by Tech Tools, Inc.
No value was attributed to these warrants because the
exercise price significantly exceeded the fair value of the
underlying common shares. Each warrant can be exercised,
at any time subsequent to Applied Cellular Technology's
market price reaching $7.50 per share, to acquire one
common share of Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. at the
price of $5.00 per common share, or one redeemable class A
convertible preferred share of Tech Tools, Inc. at the
price of $5.00, or, if Tech Tools, Inc. becomes a public
company, into an amount equal to 40% of its total
outstanding common shares. Tech Tools, Inc.'s preferred
stock pays a cumulative dividend, compounded annually, of
8% of the aggregate value of $600,000. The preferred stock
has cash redemption rights five years after issuance at the
option of the holder. The redemption price is $5.00 per
preferred share. In August 1995, the Class E warrants were
redeemed for 120,000 shares of Applied Cellular Technology,
Inc.
In December 1994, 300,000 class F warrants were authorized
for issuance. The class F warrants shall be exercisable
for a period of five years from the date of issuance and
shall be exercisable at the rate of 1 warrant plus $2.50
for each common share.
In March 1995, restricted common stock was issued to
purchase a note receivable. The Company issued 200,000
common shares at a market price of $5.00 with a 50%
discount, due to the limited market of the common shares,
bringing the value down to $2.50 each. The stock was
restricted as to voting rights until the bid price per
share equaled or exceeded $7.50 for a period of 48 hours or
more, which occurred in the third quarter of 1995. Due to
this discount, 50% of all principal payments being received
are recorded as additional paid-in capital. This amount
for 1995 was $120,316.
In August 1995, 350,000 class H warrants were authorized
for issuance. The class H warrants shall be exercisable
for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance and shall
be exercisable at the rate of 1 warrant plus $4.75 for each
common share.

19. Related Party Transactions
For services rendered in connection with the three
acquisitions which took place in the third quarter of 1995,
the Company paid a shareholder, Great Bay Technology Group,
Inc., $50,000 for each acquisition for investment banking
services. These payments were included in the total cost
of assets purchased and therefore amortized over the life
of the related assets. In the fourth quarter of 1995, the
Company paid a shareholder, Great Bay Technology Group,
Inc., $76,500 for investment banking services provided for
the acquisitions noted in the subsequent events. These
costs will be capitalized as a direct acquisition cost of
the related assets and amortized over the life of the asset
beginning in 1996.
20. Subsequent Events
In January 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the
issuance of 450,000 class I warrants to certain
shareholders and officers. The warrants will be
exercisable for a period of five years from the date of
issuance at the rate of one warrant plus $2.87.
In February 1996, Atlantic Systems, Inc. purchased a liquor
store software package (with exclusive rights to sell and
support the software, hardware and software support
contracts with current customers) and certain equipment
from Quality Solutions, Inc., in consideration for cash of
$40,784 and 33,494 shares of common stock of Applied
Cellular Technology, Inc., at $5.50 per share, the then
current market trading price. This value has been
discounted 50% due to the limited market of the shares,
resulting in a value of $2.75 a share, for a total value of
$92,109. Also in February 1996, the Company entered into
an employment contract with an officer of Quality
Solutions, Inc. for a period of three years with an annual
salary of $60,000, and an additional bonus based on 10% of
gross profit of all sales closed during the fiscal year to
be paid in the form of common shares of the Corporation.
Upon issuance of these shares, officer's compensation
expense will be recorded based on the number of shares
issued times the market price of the shares. An additional
bonus may be earned in the first year of service, on sales
from $200,000 to $450,000, with a maximum amount being paid
of $25,000.
In February 1996, the Company entered into two employment
contracts with officers of Atlantic Systems, Inc. which
call for services to be provided for a period of three
years, at annual salaries of $50,000 for each officer with
an additional bonus based on 25% of quarterly earnings
before income taxes in excess of $58,400 not to exceed
$50,000 to each officer.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement,
pending final shareholder approval of the Company for the
authorization of the redeemable preferred shares, to purchase
80% of Burling Instruments, Inc., in exchange for 9,000 shares
of 8% redeemable preferred stock at $100 per share of Applied
Cellular Technology, Inc. for a total value of $900,000.
The Company will also pay cash of $57,600. The approval of
the redeemable preferred shares is probable, due to the fact
that the majority ownership shareholders have been involved
with the acquisition negotiations, and are in favor of the
transaction.
If and to the extent the Redeemable Preferred shares have not
been converted to Common Stock by the second anniversary of the
initial issuance of the shares, the Company shall redeem the
redeemable preferred shares by paying $100 per share. Each
holder of the redeemable preferred shares may convert their
redeemable preferred shares into Common Stock at a rate of
$5.75 per $100 of redeemable preferred stock, for two years
from the issuance date.
21. Restatement
The Company has restated its balance sheet at December 31,
1994 to reflect the adjustment of the acquisition price of
computer software acquired by Tech Tools, Inc. in exchange
for 180,000 shares of its common stock and for the issuance
of 120,000 warrants. In addition, the Company has adjusted
the value of the acquisition of its 29% investment in
Cadkey, Inc. obtained through issuance of 456,570 shares of
common stock.
The shares and warrants in connection with these
acquisitions were originally valued at $5 each resulting in
recorded acquisition amounts of $2,282,850 for Cadkey, Inc.
and $1,500,000 for the purchased software (Databoss). In
light of prevailing market values of $2.50 to $2.75 per
share during the fourth quarter of 1994 and with
consideration of a 50% discount due to the limited market
which existed for the shares at that date, the Company has
restated the valuation to $1.25 per share. No value was
given to the warrants because the exercise price exceeded
the $1.25 value.
The restatement results in a reduction of the purchase
price of the computer software by $1,275,000 to $225,000
and the investment in Cadkey, Inc. by $1,712,137 to
$570,713 with corresponding reduction in additional paid-in
capital totalling $2,987,137. There was no effect of this
restatement on operations for the year ended December 31,
1994.
The Company has restated its balance sheet and income statement for
the year ended December 31, 1995 to reflect the recording of the
investment in Cadkey, Inc. on the cost method, instead of as previously
shown under the equity method. The Company does not currently, and has
not since early in 1995, exercised significant influence over Cadkey,
Inc. and therefore should not be recorded under the equity method.
There was no effect on the beginning retained earnings, as of December
31, 1994, as there was no equity picked up within that year.
The effect of this change was to reduce net income for the year ended
December 31, 1995 by $86,668, which reduced the net income per common
share by $.05 per share, from $.14 to $.09 per share.

22. Proforma Information (Unaudited)
The following pro forma consolidated statement of
operations of Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. and
subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1995
gives effect to the acquisitions of Atlantic Systems, Inc.,
Elite Computer Services, Inc., and the probable acquisition
of Burling Instruments, Inc. as though they were effective
at January 1, 1995. The statement gives effect to the
acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting and
the assumptions in the accompanying notes to the pro forma
financial statements.
In August 1995, the Company issued 124,066 shares of common
stock at $2.75 per share (which was the prevailing market
price at the time of the acquisition, net of a discount of
50% due to the limited market for the shares) for a total
of $341,182, in exchange for an 80% investment in Atlantic
Systems, Inc. The resulting goodwill of $442,000 is being
amortized over 10 years. Other acquisition costs for this
transaction have also been capitalized in the amount of
$117,523.
In September 1995, the Company issued 102,160 shares of its
common stock at $4.47 per share (which was the prevailing
market price at the time of the acquisition, net of a
discount of 50% due to the limited market for the shares)
for a total of $456,655, in exchange for an 80% investment
in Elite Computer Services, Inc. The resulting goodwill of
$502,625 is being amortized over 10 years. Other
acquisition costs for this transaction have also been
capitalized in the amount of $56,159.
In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement,
pending final shareholder approval of the Company for the
authorization of the redeemable preferred shares, to purchase
80% of Burling Instruments, Inc., in exchange for 9,000 shares
of 8% redeemable preferred stock at $100 per share of Applied
Cellular Technology, Inc. for a total value of $900,000.
The Company will also pay cash of $57,600. The approval of
the redeemable preferred shares is probable, due to the fact
that the majority ownership shareholders have been involved
with the acquisition negotiations, and are in favor of the
transaction.
If and to the extent the Redeemable Preferred shares have not
been converted to Common Stock by the second anniversary of the
initial issuance of the shares, the Company shall redeem the
redeemable preferred shares by paying $100 per share. Each
holder of the redeemable preferred shares may convert their
redeemable preferred shares into Common Stock at a rate of
$5.75 per $100 of redeemable preferred stock, for two years
from the issuance date.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Applied Cellular Technology, Inc.
Springfield, Missouri
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Applied Cellular
Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in
order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 8, 1996, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 is fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND MARCH 31, 1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tech Tools, Inc. and
ACT Financial Corp. which were formed in November 1994 and April 1995,
respectively, and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Atlantic Systems,
Inc. and Elite Computer Services, Inc., in which an 80% interest was
acquired by the Company in August 1995 and September 1995, respectively.
All significant intercompany investments, transactions and account
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the
estimated collection losses that will be incurred in collection of all
receivables. The estimated losses are based on historical collection
experience coupled with a review of the current status of the existing
receivables.
UNBILLED RECEIVABLES
The Company records an unbilled receivable to account for salary
expenses and certain other expenses that apply to customer projects not
yet billed.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
INVENTORIES
The Company's inventories consist mainly of new and used computers,
computer parts and software. The inventory is valued at the lower of
cost or market, determined by the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.
The Company closely monitors its inventory and analyzes it for potential
obsolescence and slow-moving items based upon the aging of the inventory
listing and the inventory turns by product. The Company will provide an
allowance for obsolete inventory if deemed necessary from the analysis.
EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and amortization computed using straight-line
and accelerated methods. The assets are depreciated and amortized over
periods ranging from three to five years.
ORGANIZATION COSTS
Organization costs, such as legal fees and incorporation costs, are
capitalized and amortized over five years.
LOAN FEES
Loan fees are capitalized using the straight-line amortization method
over the life of the loan.
INVESTMENT IN COMMON STOCK
The Company acquired a 29% interest in Cadkey, Inc. in December 1994.
The Company accounts for this investment using the cost method. The
resulting goodwill is being amortized straight-line over 7 years.
The Company's policy for making on-going determinations of the net
realizable value for the investment in Cadkey, Inc. includes receiving
quarterly unaudited financial statements and annual audited financial
statements that management uses as an integral part of its on-going
assessment. Management also conducts an on-going review of readily
available industry statistics and compares these results to the investee
company's results to assess the investee company's operating performance
relative to other industry participants and to assess the on-going
prospects for the investee company's industry as a whole.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
NOTE RECEIVABLE - CADKEY, INC.
The Company's policy for making on-going determinations of the net
realizable value of the note receivable from Cadkey, Inc. is not only to
review the overall performance of Cadkey, Inc. as discussed within the
Investment in Common Stock footnote, but also to closely monitor the
note repayment schedule agreed to by Cadkey, Inc. in order to assess the
continuing likelihood of repayment and the on-going net realizable value
of the Cadkey, Inc. note. The carrying value of the note receivable has
been reduced by 50%, as a result of the discounting of the value of the
shares exchanged to acquire the note receivable because of the
restricted nature and the limited market of those common shares.
GOODWILL
The goodwill resulting from the purchase of 80% ownership in Atlantic
Systems, Inc. and Elite Computer Services, Inc. is being amortized over
10 years.
The Company's policy for making on-going determinations of the net
realizable value of the goodwill is to monitor the net income of
Atlantic Systems, Inc. and Elite Computer Services, Inc. and to
determine if the expected income levels over the remainder of the 10
year amortization period would exceed the carrying value of the
goodwill. If impairment of the goodwill appears likely, a reduction in
the carrying value would be recorded at that time.
PURCHASED COMPUTER SOFTWARE
Purchased computer software is stated at cost less accumulated
amortization. The purchased computer software is at the stage of
technological feasibility which is considered to have occurred when a
product design and working model of the software product have been
completed and the completeness of the working model and its consistency
with the product design have been confirmed by testing. Amortization is
computed over the greater of current revenues divided by the total of
expected revenues or straight-line over the number of years of expected
revenue. The straight-line life is determined to be 5 years. The
"Databoss" computer software purchased by Tech Tools, Inc. in November
1994 has been amortized beginning in July 1995 when it was available for
release to customers. Amortization began for the software acquired from
Baler Software Corporation in August 1995 at the date of its
acquisition. Amortization began for the software acquired from Quality
Solutions, Inc. in February 1996 at the date of its acquisition.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
REVENUE RECOGNITION
For programming, consulting and software licensing services, the Company
recognizes revenue based on the percent complete for fixed fee
contracts, with the percent complete being calculated as either the
number of direct labor hours in the project to date divided by the
estimated total direct labor hours or based upon the completion of
specific task orders. It is the Company's policy to record contract
losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses are
foreseeable. For non-fixed fee jobs, the revenue is recognized based
on the actual direct labor hours in the job times the standard billing
rate and adjusted to realizable value if necessary. For product sales,
the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment. There are no significant
post contract support obligations at the time of revenue recognition.
The Company's accounting policy regarding vendor and post-contract
support obligations is according to the customers contract, billable
upon the occurrence of the post-sale support.
The Company does not experience many product returns, and therefore,
Company management is of the opinion that no allowance for sales returns
is necessary. The Company has no obligation for warranties on hardware
sales, because the warranty is given by the manufacturer. The Company
does not offer a warranty policy for their services to customers.
PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE IN DEVELOPMENT
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed," the Company has capitalized certain computer
software development costs upon the establishment of technological
feasibility. Technological feasibility is considered to have occurred
upon completion of a detailed program design which has been confirmed by
documenting and tracing the detail program design to product
specifications and has been reviewed for high-risk development issues,
or to the extent a detailed program design is not pursued, upon
completion of a working model that has been confirmed by testing to be
consistent with the product design. Amortization of computer software
costs is provided based on the greater of the ratios that current gross
revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated
future gross revenues for that product or the straight-line method over
the estimated useful life of the product. The straight-line life is
determined to be 5 years. Amortization began in 1996 when the products
were ready for release to the general public. Amortization expense on
proprietary software in development amounted to $2,954 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average
number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of
convertible preferred stock and common stock issuable upon exercise of
stock option and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Under the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, common stock issued by
the Company during the 12-month period prior to the initial public
offering and stock options granted during the same period, that had an
exercise price that was less then the IPO price, have been included in
the calculation of common and common equivalent shares using the
treasury stock method as if they were outstanding for all applicable
periods (pre IPO periods only).
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported
in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of
goodwill, investment in 29% owned company, equipment and leasehold
improvements, and net operating loss carryforwards for financial and
income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent
the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will
either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are
recovered or settled.
The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated tax returns. Income
taxes are paid by the parent company and allocated to each subsidiary
through intercompany charges.
2. OPERATIONS

former name, Great Bay Acquisition Company. On May 21, 1993, Great Bay

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND UNBILLED RECEIVABLES
The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
NOTE RECEIVABLE - OFFICER
The carrying amount approximates fair value because the stated interest
rate fluctuates with market rates.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 17
<PAGE> 87
APPLIED CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
NOTE RECEIVABLE - CADKEY, INC.
The carrying value of the note approximates fair value because the
interest rate of the note approximates the current rate that the Company
could receive on a similar note, and also because this agreement was
renegotiated in the current year.
NOTE PAYABLE - LINE OF CREDIT
The carrying amount approximates fair value because the stated interest
rate fluctuates with current market rates.
NOTES PAYABLE - OFFICERS
The carrying amount approximates fair value as the interest being
charged is at a current market rate.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, all of
which are held for nontrading purposes, are as follows:

13. INCOME TAXES
The Company has computed its income tax provision in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS109"), which
was effective for 1993 and years thereafter.
The provision for income taxes includes current taxes and deferred taxes
computed on the temporary differences in the basis of certain assets and
liabilities between financial statement and income tax reporting
purposes. The principal source of deferred income taxes as of
December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 consists of differences in the
basis of goodwill and an investment in a 29%-owned company.
The provision for income taxes consists of:

SFAS109 requires a valuation allowance be recorded when it is "more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized." At December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the Company
had elected to record a valuation allowance of $30,000 and $9,700,
respectively, to offset the deferred tax asset.

preferred stock, par value $10 per share. In April 1994, the Articles
of Incorporation were amended to change the par value to $.001 per
common share. The preferred stock shares were to be redeemable by the
Company at any time but were required to be redeemed by the Company at
such time as it had received a cumulative total of $500,000 in funding
or capitalization through private placement, warrant exercise, public
offering or any other such means excluding lines of credit or revenue
from sales and excluding funds received from the sale of said preferred
stock.

Subsequently the terms of the preferred stock were changed to five-year,
noncumulative, 6% redeemable shares with the dividend and redemption

Effective March 1994, the Company authorized the issuance of common
stock purchase warrants as follows: 200,000 A warrants exercisable at a
rate of 1 warrant plus $4.75 to purchase one share of common stock and
200,000 B warrants exercisable at 1 warrant plus $20 to purchase one
share of common stock and 45,000 class C warrants exercisable for a

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
In November 1994, 120,000 redeemable E warrants were issued as part of
the acquisition of software by Tech Tools, Inc. No value was attributed
to these warrants because the exercise price significantly exceeded the
fair value of the underlying common shares. Each warrant can be
exercised, at any time subsequent to Applied Cellular Technology's
market price reaching $7.50 per share, to acquire one common share of
Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. at the price of $5.00 per common
share, or one redeemable class A convertible preferred share of Tech
Tools, Inc. at the price of $5.00, or, if Tech Tools, Inc. becomes a
public company, into an amount equal to 40% of its total outstanding
common shares. Tech Tools, Inc.'s preferred stock pays a cumulative
dividend, compounded annually, of 8% of the aggregate value of $600,000.
The preferred stock has cash redemption rights five years after issuance
at the option of the holder. The redemption price is $5.00 per
preferred share. In August 1995, the Class E warrants were redeemed for
120,000 shares of Applied Cellular Technology, Inc.
In December 1994, 300,000 class F warrants were authorized for issuance.
The class F warrants shall be exercisable for a period of five years
from the date of issuance and shall be exercisable at the rate of 1
warrant plus $2.50 for each common share.
In March 1995, restricted common stock was issued to purchase a note
receivable. The Company issued 200,000 common shares at a market price
of $5.00 with a 50% discount, due to the limited market of the common
shares, bringing the value down to $2.50 each. The stock was restricted
as to voting rights until the bid price per share equaled or exceeded
$7.50 for a period of 48 hours or more, which occurred in the third
quarter of 1995. Due to this discount, 50% of all principal payments
being received are recorded as additional paid-in capital. This amount
was $120,316 and $20,967 for 1995 and the three month period ended March
1, 1996, respectively.
In August 1995, 350,000 class H warrants were authorized for issuance.
The class H warrants shall be exercisable for a period of 5 years from
the date of issuance and shall be exercisable at the rate of 1 warrant
plus $4.75 for each common share.

On August 4, 1995, the Company acquired software and related net assets
of Baler Software Corporation (Baler) in exchange for the payment of
debt of $14,000, the issuance of 88,009 shares of the Company's common
stock for full payment of $451,046 debt of Baler's secured creditors,
and the issuance of 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock to one
of Baler's shareholders, in payment for the acquired software and
certain other assets and liabilities. The then current market trading
value of $5.125 a share has been discounted by 50% due to limited market
of the common shares, resulting in a value of $2.56 a share.
On August 9, 1995, the Company issued 124,066 shares of its common stock
in exchange for an 80% investment in Atlantic Systems, Inc. The then
current market trading value of $5.50 a share has been discounted by 50%
due to the limited market of the shares, resulting in a value of $2.75 a
share.
On September 6, 1995, the Company issued 102,160 shares of its common
stock in exchange for an 80% investment in Elite Computer Services, Inc.
The then current market trading value of $8.94 a share has been
discounted by 50% due to the limited market of the shares, resulting in
a value of $4.47 a share.
In January 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of
450,000 class I warrants to certain shareholders and officers. The
warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of
issuance at the rate of one warrant plus $2.87.
In February 1996, Atlantic Systems, Inc. purchased a liquor store
software package (with exclusive rights to sell and support the
software, hardware and software support contracts with current
customers) and certain equipment from Quality Solutions, Inc., in
consideration for cash of $40,784 and 33,494 shares of common stock of
Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. The then current market trading value
of $5.50 a share has been discounted by 50% due to the limited market of
the shares, resulting in a value of $2.75 a share.
In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement, pending final
shareholder approval of the Company for the authorization of the
redeemable preferred shares, to purchase 80% of Burling Instruments,
Inc., in exchange for 9,000 shares of 8% redeemable preferred stock at
$100 per share of Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. for a total value of
$900,000. The Company will also pay cash of $57,600. The approval of the
redeemable preferred shares is probable, due to the fact that the
majority ownership shareholders have been involved with the acquisition
negotiations, and are in favor of the transaction.
If and to the extent the Redeemable Preferred shares have not been
converted to Common Stock by the second anniversary of the initial
issuance of the shares, the Company shall redeem the redeemable preferred
shares by paying $100 per share. Each holder of the redeemable preferred
shares may convert their redeemable preferred shares into Common Stock at
a rate of $5.75 per $100 of redeemable preferred stock, for two years
from the issuance date.

the shares, resulting in a value of $2.75 a share.
18. STOCK REGISTRATION
During 1994, the Company completed a registration regarding distribution
of its shares of common stock to shareholders of Pratt, Wylce & Lords,

200,000 class A warrants, 200,000 class B warrants and 45,000 class C
warrants. The class A warrants are exercisable into one common share at
the purchase price of $4.75 and the class B warrants are exercisable
into one common share at the purchase price of $20. The class A and
class B warrants shall be effective for a period of four years from the
date of issuance and shall be redeemable by the Company at $.001 per
class A or class B warrant upon thirty day's notice. The class C
warrants were to be exercisable for a period of three years from the
date of issuance at the rate of one warrant plus $1.50 for one share of

19. RESTATEMENT
The Company has restated its balance sheet at March 31, 1995 to reflect
the adjustment of the acquisition price of computer software acquired by
Tech Tools, Inc. in exchange for 180,000 shares of its common stock and
for the issuance of 120,000 warrants. In addition, the Company has
adjusted the value of the acquisition of its 29% investment in Cadkey,
Inc. obtained through issuance of 456,570 shares of common stock.
The shares and warrants in connection with these acquisitions were
originally valued at $5 each resulting in recorded acquisition amounts
of $2,282,850 for Cadkey, Inc. and $1,500,000 for the purchased software
(Databoss). In light of prevailing market values of $2.50 to $2.75 per
share during the fourth quarter of 1994 and with consideration of a 50%
discount due to the limited market which existed for the shares at that
date, the Company has restated the valuation to $1.25 per share. No
value was given to the warrants because the exercise price exceeded the
$1.25 value.
The restatement results in a reduction of the purchase price of the
computer software by $1,275,000 to $225,000 and the investment in
Cadkey, Inc. by $1,712,137 to $570,713 with corresponding reduction in
additional paid-in capital totalling $2,987,137.
The Company has restated its balance sheet and income statement for the
year ended December 31, 1995 and for the three months ended March 31,
1995 and 1996 to reflect the recording of the investment in Cadkey, Inc.
on the cost method, instead of as previously shown under the equity
method. The Company does not currently, and has not since early in
1995, exercised significant influence over Cadkey, Inc. and therefore
the investment should not have been recorded under the equity method.
The effect of this change reduced beginning retained earnings, as of
December 31, 1995, by $86,668. The effect of this change is to reduce
net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 by $21,667, which
reduced the net income per common share by $.01 per share, from $.02 to
$.01, and to reduce net income for the three months ended March 31,
1996 by $22,715, which reduced the net income per common share by $.01,
from $.03 to $.02.
20. PROFORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The following pro forma balance sheet of Applied Cellular Technology,
Inc. and subsidiaries at March 31, 1996 gives effect to the probable

31, 1996. The statement gives effect to the acquisition under the
purchase method of accounting and the assumptions in the accompanying
notes to the pro forma financial statements.
The following pro forma consolidated statement of operations of Applied
Cellular Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 gives effect to the probable acquisition of Burling
Instruments, Inc. as if it were effective at January 1, 1996. The

APPLIED CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement, pending final
shareholder approval of the Company for the authorization of the
redeemable preferred shares, to purchase 80% of Burling Instruments, Inc.,
in exchange for 9,000 shares of 8% redeemable preferred stock at $100 per
share of Applied Cellular Technology, Inc. for a total value of $900,000.
The Company will also pay cash of $57,600. The approval of the redeemable
preferred shares is probable, due to the fact that the majority ownership
shareholders have been involved with the acquisition negotiations, and
are in favor of the transaction.
If and to the extent the Redeemable Preferred shares have not been
converted to Common Stock by the second anniversary of the initial
issuance of the shares, the Company shall redeem the redeemable preferred
shares by paying $100 per share. Each holder of the redeemable preferred
shares may convert their redeemable preferred shares into Common Stock at
a rate of $5.75 per $100 of redeemable preferred stock, for two years from
the issuance date.
The pro forma statements may not be indicative of the results that would
have occurred if the acquisitions had been effective on the dates
indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. The
proforma statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto of the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the
estimated collection losses that will be incurred in collection of all
receivables. The estimated losses are based on historical collection
experience coupled with a review of the current status of the existing
receivables. There is no allowance for uncollectible accounts
reflected in the balance sheet. Company management is of the opinion
that no allowance is necessary.
INVENTORY
The Company's inventory, consists of new and used computers and
computer parts. The inventory is valued at the lower of cost or
market, determined by the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.
BUILDING, FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
Building, furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost, less
accumulated depreciation computed using straight-line and accelerated
methods. The assets are depreciated over periods ranging from five to
thirty-one years.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of the computer parts.
There are no significant post contract support obligations at the time
of revenue recognition.
The Company does not experience many product returns, and therefore,
Company management is of the opinion that no allowance for sales
returns is necessary. The Company has no obligation for warranties on
hardware sales.
INCOME TAXES
The Company elected under the S Corporation provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code and similar provisions of the New Jersey tax laws, not to
be subject to corporate income taxes, but rather to have the
stockholders report their distributive share of the Company's taxable
income or losses on their respective income tax returns. Therefore, no
liability for federal and state income taxes is reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Burling Instruments, Inc.

financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Burling Instruments,

The By-laws of the Corporation provides that a director of the registrant
shall have no personal liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (b) for acts and omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, and
(c) pursuant to Missouri law for any transaction form which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. Registrant's By-laws exculpates and
indemnifies the directors, officers, employees, and agents of the registrant
from and against certain liabilities. Further the By-laws also provides
that the Registrant shall indemnify to the full extent permitted under
Missouri law any director, officer employee or agent of Registrant who has
served as a director, officer, employee or agent or the Registrant or, at
the Registrant's request, has served as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE CORPORATION FOR
LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST
PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE
UNENFORCEABLE.

Item 17. Undertaking.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the formation set forth in the
Registration Statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
<PAGE> 138
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) Delivery of Certificates.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
Transfer Agent at the closing, certificates in such denominations and
registered in such names as are required by the Transfer Agent to permit
prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(c) Indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth
in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of ay action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
