PART I

Item 1.

Description of Business

Background

We were created under the name "SunVest Resorts, Inc." on August 6, 1996, through the merger of Telshare International, Inc., a publicly held Delaware corporation, and two Florida corporations, Colony Plaza Development, Inc., and Cove Development, Inc. Telshare International, Inc., had ceased operations in 1988, but maintained its publicly held status. Initially, we were engaged in the real estate business. In late April 2000, we distributed all of our assets (subject to liabilities) to our stockholders, and on May 1, 2000, we effected a merger with US Data Authority, Inc., a privately held Florida corporation. On June 23, 2000, we changed our name to US Data Authority, Inc. The merger was accounted for financial reporting purposes as a purchase.

Products and Services

Network Connectivity. We currently offer high speed network connectivity, i.e. bandwidth, through our reseller contracts with Cable & Wireless, BellSouth and Yipes. Under these contracts, we earn either a spread between the cost to the customer and our cost or a fixed commission against the amount billed by the network to the customer. Since August 2001, when our reseller relationship with AT&T was terminated, this segment of our business has been steadily shrinking. Currently we have approximately nineteen customers, all but two in Florida.

On-Line Data Storage. On-line data storage products is the other component of our business. By having access to the high speed network described above, on which we deliver data transport, we have begun to provide, on a very limited basis, and intend to expand the provision of online data storage service to business customers to connect with their computer systems. Pursuant to our agreement with Hitachi, dated March 30, 2001, we will purchase Hitachi's hardware for data storage, paying for this equipment through a revenue-sharing program. Our general goal is to utilize our arrangement with Hitachi to offer to business customers a hosted data storage solution which architecture maximizes the amount of data which can be managed efficiently by a single administrator. This solution is designed to lower the customer's overall cost of computing by significantly reducing the need for personnel, hardware, software and facilities. Our business plan calls for an effort to generate sales of data storage solutions primarily through strategic partners/resellers and Hitachi representatives who will market our services to their existing data storage customers as a "disaster recovery" back-up solution.

Recently, we have taken a significant step in this direction by entering, on April 12, 2002, into an agreement with Zona Tecnologia Y Telecommunicaciones ("ZTT"), a privately-owned Panama City, Panama, based company which has been licensed by the government of Panama to build and manage a Network Access Point (NAP) in the free trade zone in Panama City. Under the agreement, we will co-locate within ZTT's NAP and, through a joint venture with ZTT, purchase and install the hardware and software required for and share in the revenue generated from selling data storage solutions to the public and private customers to be served by the NAP's proposed large worldwide network through Central and South America. We anticipate that this joint venture will begin to generate revenues for us sometime in the first quarter of 2003.

Future Strategy

We are committed to the strategy of gradually reducing our traditional low margin business of reselling network connectivity, with the view of exiting this business in the third quarter of 2002. Instead, we intend to utilize the working capital from the proceeds of the very recent $18.4 million equity investment (over 17 months) in the Company by a group of primarily non-US private investors (the "Centro Group"), to create joint ventures with network providers whereby our data storage solutions are sold as a private label or co-branded data storage offering to the customers of these networks.

Outside the US, where we believe the demand in the near future for our data storage solutions will be the greatest, our services will be marketed by US Data International Development, Inc. ("US Dev"). US Dev, a newly-formed corporation controlled by the Centro Group, has entered into a three-year marketing agreement with us on March 7, 2002. The principals of US Dev have extensive contacts with network providers and potential customers in Central and South America and Europe, which US Dev intends to utilize for our benefit.

Item 2. Description of Property.

We do not own any real property. Our approximately 7,300 square feet of executive offices are located at 3500 NW Boca Raton Boulevard, Building 811, Boca Raton, FL 33431. The seven offices comprising this space are occupied under a month-to-month lease. The current lease payment due under the leases is $8,600 per month.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On August 6, 2001, AT&T, the Company's largest network provider filed suit against the Company in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, AT&T Corp. vs. US Data Authority, Inc., Civ-01-8715, demanding payment of $2,332,984 in total amount of outstanding charges. The Company and AT&T reached a tentative settlement, however, the parties were unable to agree to the terms of the documents designed to evidence and reflect the settlement. On August 27, 2001, AT&T disconnected the USDA network at all of the 38 locations. On September 7, 2001, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss AT&T's complaint in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida and on November 6, 2001, the Company filed an Answer and Counterclaim to AT&T's complaint, also in U. S. District Court for the District of Southern Florida. The Company's counterclaim in the lawsuit demands damages in excess of $40 million for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties, trade libel and fraud. In December, 2001, AT&T filed a Motion to Dismiss Counterclaim and the Company responded by filing a Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Motion to Dismiss Counterclaim on January 18, 2002. Counsel for AT&T recently requested a 30-day abatement of proceedings in order to file what would amount to "corrective" documents with the Court relating to its Memorandum of Law filed on January 18, 202. On February 21, 2002, AT&T filed an Amended Complaint. The Company filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses to Amended Complaint on April 23, 2002. We intend to defend this action vigorously and press to prevail in our counterclaim.

The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit filed August 1, 2001, in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, Webfinder Wireless, Joseph Price and Clifford Price vs. US Data Authority, Inc., Dominick F. Maggio, William Pierce and David Rappa, Civil Action No. 01 WM 1430. Plaintiffs allege willful breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation, among other things, stemming from the Company's agreement to install an OC-3 fixed fiber optic connection to the plaintiffs' network in two mountain resorts in Southwestern Colorado. The Complaint demands the return of the $32,400 deposit paid by the plaintiffs to the Company and other unspecified damages. The parties are engaged in negotiations to settle the case. We believe that the suit is without merit and will vigorously move to have the suit dismissed in case settlement negotiations fail.

On June 21, 2001, the SEC contacted the Company by letter requesting the Company to produce documents for an informal inquiry that the SEC is conducting concerning several third parties. Pursuant to this request, the Company provided the SEC with documents on July 3, 2001.

Purchase, in 18 monthly installments, of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, with 10,000,000 options by the Centro Group. See description in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Since the merger in May 2000, and until the fourth quarter of 2001, we pursued a business plan consisting primarily of utilizing our co-location in as many as 38 locations on AT&T's nationwide network to provide bandwidth, Internet access and supporting services and network management to small and medium size business customers. This business proved to be highly competitive, with the result that our revenues could not support the cost of maintaining our network and our general overhead, and we continued to accumulate deficits. At the same time, our efforts to reduce the largest component of the expense of maintaining the network - - fees to AT&T - - were stymied due to a continuing billing dispute with AT&T. This dispute began in early 2001 and culminated in AT&T disconnecting our entire network on August 27, 2001. Overnight, we lost as much as 78% of our customers and 90% of revenue we projected to realize during the third quarter 2001. We did manage to reconnect some Florida-based customers using alternative circuits provided by Cable and Wireless and BellSouth Corporation.

Faced with an uncertain future in the bandwidth resale and Internet access business, in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001, and the resulting surge in demand for data storage and security, management developed, in the fourth quarter 2001, a new business plan. The plan is to use our existing facilities and the arrangement with Hitachi Corporation to offer managed data storage solutions to smaller and medium size business customers, i.e. become what is known as a Managed Service Provider ("MSP"). The data storage services would be sold through resellers and, secondarily, through distributors, where the resellers are network providers who use our data storage solutions under a private label or co-brand them with their own data storage offerings.

Implementation of this plan with the purpose of exiting the development stage sometime towards the end of 2002 will require additional capital in the range of $6.5 million to $8.5 million. As described immediately below, under the very recent agreement we reached with the Centro Group, we should receive a capital infusion sufficient for our purposes. There is, however, no complete assurance that we will receive all of the intended proceeds of the investment described in the agreement with the Centro Group. Moreover, there is no assurance that the new business plan will be successful and, in general, that our efforts to become profitable on a consistent basis will yield the desired results.

In our efforts to become profitable on a consistent basis we will have to contend with an outstanding liability to the IRS for payroll taxes and our lack of compliance with the terms of our equipment lease with Cisco Systems Capital Corporation (Cisco"). In this connection, we owe the IRS approximately $848,900 in payroll taxes for 2000 and 2002 (not 2001) and intend to begin a dialogue with the agency with the purpose of developing an installment payment plan acceptable to the IRS. Certain of the proceeds of the investment by the Centro Group have been earmarked for this purpose and, although the outcome is not free from doubt, management believes that a solution acceptable to the Company can be achieved.

As regards the equipment lease with Cisco, we are currently negotiating a settlement whereby we would return certain unused equipment for a $1.5 million reduction in the approximately $3.6 million owed under the lease and repay a discounted portion of the remaining debt over two years. There is no assurance that our proposal will be accepted by Cisco, and that, as a result, we may have to dedicate a larger portion of the proceeds of the investment by the Centro Group than originally planned to the discharge of this obligation.

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2001, we reported a net loss of $10,262,800 ($.30 per share) compared to a net loss of $6,344,900 ($.46 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2000, which included income of $234,900 from discontinued operations.

A comparison between the relevant periods, i.e. a full twelve months of operations in 2001 and only seven months of operations in 2000, shows that management's efforts to reduce expenses in 2001 did yield some results. For example, compensation-related expenses increased by only 25% (from $2,573,200 in 2000 to $3,213,300 in 2001) and would have actually decreased had the comparison been with respect to an annualized expense for 2000. Also, marketing and sales expenses decreased (from $767,400 in 2000 to $416,000 in 2001). Nevertheless, notwithstanding an increase in revenue of almost 200% (from $124,100 in 2000 to $1,487,700 in 2001), the very significant increases in technology and content expenses (consisting primarily of network connection fees to AT&T), general and administrative, interest and amortization and depreciation expenses caused the net loss from operations to increase by approximately 62%.

Management is continuing in its efforts to reduce expenses and believes that the financial results of the first and, particularly, the second quarter 2002, will reflect the impact of these efforts.

Additionally, we recently entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated February 28, 2002, with the Centro Group, consisting of Centro Inmobiliario RYC, S.L., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain ("Inmobiliario"), MAPET International Foundation, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation ("MAPET"), FRONTIER STAR, S.L., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain ("FRONTIER STAR"), INVERFAPE, S.A., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Dominican Republic ("INVERFAPE"), Jesus Guirau, S.L., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain ("Jesus Guirau") (Inmobiliario, MAPET, FRONTIER STAR, INVERFAPE, and Jesus Guirau are sometimes collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Investors"), as amended. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Investors purchased and agreed to purchase from us, in eighteen (18) traunches (i) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 20,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") for the aggregate price of $18,400,000. The Common Stock would be purchased for $0.16 per share and the Preferred Stock would be purchased for $0.84 per share. The Investors will divide the rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement as follows: Inmobiliario (37.5%); MAPET (37.5%); FRONTIER STAR (10.0%); INVERFAPE (10.0%); and Jesus Guirau (5.0%).

The closing of the first traunche occurred on April 29, 2002. At this closing, the Investors purchased a total of 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock for $1,000,000. The Investors have agreed to purchase Common Stock and Preferred Stock every thirty days in amounts specified in the Purchase Agreement for seventeen (17) months. The Purchase Agreement also grants the Investors the option to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Common Stock at varying exercise prices for a total of $20,000,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Investors will receive the options in increments of 2,000,000 shares for each $2,000,000 they invest in the Company. The first 8,000,000 options will vest at the time the Investors have invested at least 80% of the total $18,400,000 investment they committed to in the Purchase Agreement. The remaining 2,000,000 options will vest at the time the Investors have invested the entire $18,400,000 in the Company. The exercise prices for the options differ for each 2,000,000 share increment and are specified in the Purchase Agreement. All of the options expire on April 29, 2006.

After the initial $1,000,000 investment by the Investors on April 29, 2002, as agreed upon by the parties to the Purchase Agreement in order for the Investors to gain majority representation of the Board of Directors, the Investors were entitled to nominate five persons to be elected to the Board of Directors. On that date, upon resolution by the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors agreed to expand the number of its members from seven to nine. After passing this resolution, five of the seven directors resigned and seven new directors were elected to fill the vacancies, five of whom were nominated by the Investors. The newly constituted Board of Directors consists of Messrs. Robert M. Beaton, Juan F. Casas, Michael A. Cutler, William C. Davis, III, Eli Dreszer, Martin Laburu, Dominick F. Maggio, Charles Molinari and Mario Perez. Messrs. Casas, Davis, Laburu, Maggio and Perez were the Investors' nominees. The newly constituted Board of Directors named Mr. Cutler to serve as its chairman and Mr. Maggio to serve as President and CEO of the Company.

On March 7, 2002, the Company entered into a marketing agreement (the "Marketing Agreement") with US DATA International Development, Inc. ("US DATA International"), a Florida corporation that is controlled by the Investors. Pursuant to the terms of the Marketing Agreement, US DATA International will provide all international marketing and sales coordination of the Company's products and services. The initial term of the Marketing Agreement is for three years and the agreement will automatically renew for additional 12-month periods unless either party provides the other with written notice of its intent to cancel the agreement within 90 days of the anniversary date of the agreement. US DATA International will be paid $100,000 per month for the life of the agreement. In addition, during the initial three-year term, US DATA International will receive an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Company's gross sales through March 7, 2005. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Marketing Agreement, the Company will grant US DATA International (i) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) options for up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which shall vest immediately upon grant and be exercisable at certain prices and under certain terms and conditions for five years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors and Shareholders
US Data Authority, Inc.
Boca Raton, Florida

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of US Data Authority, Inc. (a company in the development stage) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the amounts for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in the cumulative period from inception of development stage (May 1, 2000) to December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion of these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of US Data Authority, Inc. at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the amounts for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in the cumulative period from inception of development stage (May 1, 2000) to December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 of notes to financial statements, the Company has reported working capital and equity deficiencies, has experienced net losses for the year ended December 31, 2001 of $10,262,800 and has experienced a loss from continuing operations from inception of development stage (May 1, 2000) to December 31, 2001 of $16,842,600. In addition, the Company's principal sources of cash flows from inception of development stage (May 1, 2000) to December 31, 2001 have been through the sales of its common shares and warrants ($7,060,300) and from borrowings under financing activities ($2,600,000). No assurances can be given to the continuation of the sales of securities or continued ability to obtain short or long-term borrowings to maintain the Company's present cash flow requirements. The Company's recurring losses from continued operations and limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3 and 11 of notes to financial statements. To date the Company has been dependent on a major shareholder group for debt and equity financing. There is no assurance that this shareholder group will continue as a source of new funds. The Company's ability to achieve the elements of its business plan, which maybe necessary to permit the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, is uncertain. All these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Read the accompanying summary of significant account policies and notes to financial statements, both of which are an integral part of this financial statement.

Basis of accounting:

US Data Authority, Inc. (the Company) prepares its financial statements in accordance accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting; consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. Financial statement items are recorded at historical cost and may not necessarily represent current values.

Reverse stock split:

In April 2000, the Company's shareholders approved a reduction in the authorized number of shares of the Company's common stock and a three point six for one (3.6:1) reverse stock split of the Company's $.02 par value common stock. The reverse stock split was effective immediately following the spin-off of all of its subsidiaries. Shareholders' deficit has been restated to give retroactive recognition to the reverse stock split for all periods presented by reclassifying from common stock to capital in excess of par of the number of shares that were eliminated as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, all references in the financial statements and notes to the number of shares and per share amounts, stock option data have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

Management estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain amounts included in the financial statements are estimated based on currently available information and management's judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions. Every effort is made to ensure the integrity of such estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short duration of these instruments.

Impairment of long-lived assets:

Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Revenue recognition:

Revenues are recognized, monthly, when service is provided to the customer, who has executed a service agreement and authorizes access.

Cash and equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Leaseholds, furniture, fixtures, equipment, capitalized leases and depreciation:

Leaseholds, furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expenses are computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. The Company depreciates its leasehold improvements over thirty-nine (39) years; furniture, fixtures and equipment over five (5) to seven (7) years. Equipment held under capital leases are classified as equipment under capitalized leases and amortized using the straight-line method over a five (5) year period. Lease amortization is included in depreciation expense.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures for significant betterments and renewals are capitalized. The cost of furniture, fixtures and equipment retired or sold, together with the related accumulated depreciation, are removed from the appropriate asset and depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in operations.

Excess of costs over net assets acquired (goodwill):

The excess of costs over net assets acquired (goodwill) is amortized over seven (7) years. Goodwill is associated with the assets acquired on May 1, 2000, at cost. The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible asset for impairment whenever events in the circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, management has determined that the value of its intangible asset has been substantially impaired due to the change in its market and has accordingly written down the goodwill to fair value. Fair value was determined by management based on discounted future cash flows.

Advertising:

The Company expenses advertising costs incurred.

Income taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

Per share amounts:

Basic loss per share, from continuing and discontinued operations are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share are computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average price during the reporting period. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share due to their antidilutive effect.

Stock based compensation:

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No, 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25), and related interpretations, in accounting for its employee stock options rather than the alternative fair value accounting allowed by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." APB No. 25 provides that the compensation expense relative to the Company's employee stock options is measured based on the intrinsic value of the stock option. SFAS No. 123 requires companies that continue to follow APB No. 25 to provide pro-forma disclosure of the impact of applying the fair value method of SFAS No. 123.

The Company follows SFAS No. 123 in accounting for stock options issued to non-employees.

Accounting Pronouncements:

The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance for revenue recognition under certain circumstances, and, is effective for the fourth quarter of 2000. SAB 101 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

The Company has adopted various new standards as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) through the issuance of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS). The Company also adopted various new Statements of Position (SOP) issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Adoption of these various new FASB's and SOP's did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

Reclassifications:

In order to facilitate comparison of financial information, certain amounts reported in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

1. Organization and business:

US Data Authority, Inc. (USD or the Company) formerly Sunvest Resorts, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 5, 1985. On August 2, 1996, a wholly owned subsidiary was organized under the Laws of the State of Florida under the same corporate name. During 1996 the Delaware and Florida corporations entered into a statutory merger with the Florida corporation as the survivor. As a result of the merger, USD issued 2,500,000 shares of its $0.02 par value to the then existing shareholders. On May 1, 2000 the Company acquired the assets subject to liabilities of US Data Authority, Inc. (a Company in the development stage) (USDA) was originally incorporated on January 15, 1999, in exchange of its common stock. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly , the Statement of Operations include the operating results of USD from May 1, 2000 forward. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair values, which did not exceed original cost. The excess of cost over net assets acquired was being amortized to future periods over a seven- (7) year life using the straight-line method. A condensed summary of assets and liabilities purchased is as follows:

Identifiable assets:

260,600

Liabilities assumed:

USD was to provide a range of bandwidth, Internet access and supporting services and network management, primarily to small and medium size business customers. It was management's opinion that the small to medium size entities would generate a good market share of potential new users. They would have provided Internet access, co-location access and remote access on a high-speed digital network. The Company would have also provided advisory services associated with the selection and installation of computer hardware. Services were to be provided nationwide. Due to the highly competitiveness of the bandwidth business, lack of enthusiasm by potential investors and the continued deficits being accumulated by the Company and as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the United States, management realized the value of data retention and storage and once again developed a new business plan.

Management developed a new business plan, based on its existing facilities and customers. Accordingly, management is in the process of converting the Company from a traditional network/bandwidth provider, to a full Managed Service Provider (MSP) with a managed service offering of managed data storage. These data storage services will be sold through a reseller and agent distributions, which would allow for service providers to generate private labels or co-brand their own storage service offerings.

It is management's intention to utilize its existing facilities and customer relationships to offer data storage through a set of Internet Protocol (IP) based services. These services would include IP Disk on Demand, IP File Sharing Services and IP Backup and Restore Services. In management's opinion, this would allow the Company to immediately provide data storage to its existing customers, which could also generate supplemental revenues of bandwidth. By utilizing its present facilities and customer base, the Company is better able to leverage its present facilities and expand its future services.

USD has changed its operations from bandwidth to bandwidth/data storage. Management does not consider the change to be a discontinued operation.

Since the changes of operations in April 2000 and September 2001, the Company has reverted and continues to be a development stage enterprise. Since September 2001, USD has been executing a new strategic business plans to develop its data storage facilities. Management has been renegotiating its relationships with major equipment suppliers as part of this plan. To-date USD had yet to commence its principal planned operations and from inception of development stage (May 1, 2000) had only generated auxiliary revenues to defray the cost of its planned operations (past and present). It is the intent of USD's management that meaningful operations could be generated by the end of 2002, which should then take the Company out of development stage. The Company has financed its operations during the development stage from the sale of its common stock and from borrowings from related and unrelated parties and financing through accounts payable. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Company borrowed additional funds from a related party of approximately $40,000 and the received approximately $1,300,000 from the sales of common stock. There can be no assurances that the Company will be out of development stage by the end of 2002 or that they will continue to receive financing.

Management has estimated that it would require approximately $6,500,000 to $8,500,000 of additional capital to emerge from development stage. This amount is in excess of subsequent receipts to May 8, 2002. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise the additional capital requirements.

2. Discontinued operations:

During the first quarter of 2000 management announced its decision to exit the real estate business by the end of April 2000. In connection with that decision the shareholders' approved the spin off of its then subsidiaries as a dividend to its shareholders on a one for one basis. Management had determined that the spin off would be a tax-free transaction. The distribution was made effective April 30, 2000 and the Company changed from the real estate to the Internet business. The Company has disposed of its real estate business as a result of the spin-off and the Company's financial statements now reflect USD operations and Sunvest as discontinued operations.

As a result of the spin-off the Company has restated it's prior year's Statement of Operations to present the operating results of the Company on a comparable basis. Accordingly, the real estate operations are being reported as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Results of these discontinued operations were as follows:

 

2000

Net sales

$1,424,000

 

 

Cost of sales

258,800

Operating expenses:

 

Selling, general administrative

730,300

Minority interest and income

200,000

 

1,189,100

Net income

$234,900

3. Summary of certain risks and uncertainties:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has reported a working capital deficiency of $13,328,300 as of December 31, 2001 and $5,097,800 as of December 31, 2000, an increase of $8,230,500. The Company has also reported net losses of $10,262,800 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $6,344,900 for the year ended December 31, 2000, which includes income from discontinued operations of $234,900. In addition the Company also reported a net loss from continuing operations of $16,842,600 from inception of development stage (May 1, 2000) to December 31, 2001. As reported on the statements of cash flows, the Company incurred deficient cash flows from operating activities of $7,600,800 (excluding cash used in discontinued operations of $762,600) from inception of development stage to December 31, 2001. To date, these have been financed principally through the sale of common stock and from borrowings from related and unrelated parties. Additional capital and/or borrowings will be necessary in order for the Company to continue in existence until attaining profitable operations.

The Company's principal source of working capital funding has been and continues to be a small group of shareholders who have provided approximately $2,300,000 from inception of development stage (May 1, 2000) to December 31, 2001. This does not include $6,860,300 from proceeds of sales of common stock and warrants. Management of the Company anticipates that the Company will require approximately $6,500,000 to $8,500,000 of working capital for the year 2002 in order to meet its new business plan. While the small group of shareholders has been funding to date, there can be no assurances that they will continue.

Management has continued to develop a strategic business plan to raise private financing, develop a more effective management team, maintain reporting compliance and seek new expansive market share. Should the Company be successful in obtaining sufficient funds, management intends to continue developing its data storage plan.

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in the implementation of its plan for expansion and its overall business plan. (Read Note 11, of notes to financial statements regarding Subscription Agreement).

During the current year and subsequently, the Company instituted an informal restructuring plan, aimed at reducing certain short-term debt and certain costs of operations. Employee terminations and other cost reductions were implemented. The affected employees were primarily the non-productive sales and non-essential technical personnel. No special charges were incurred resulting from the employee terminations or from other cost reductions. In addition, management has been negotiating with one (1) of its principal suppliers/lender for improved debt terms of its outstanding debt. At present the negotiations with supplier/creditor is for the Company to return certain unused capitalized equipment which would be utilized to offset the debt ($1,500,000) and to discount the balance of the debt and extend the discounted balance over a two (2) year amortization period. The amount of the discount has not been determined. In the opinion of management, if this matter can be resolved, it would enhance the financial position of the Company and resolve certain cash flow requirements in the short-term. There can be no assurances that the negotiations will be successful.

The Company is in dispute with another creditor. At present a major supplier to the Company is involved in litigation on outstanding debt amounting to approximately $3, 433,100, (Read Note 11, of Notes to Financial Statements concerning this matter).

The Company is in arrears in its payment of payroll taxes for the year 2000. As of December 31, 2001, the Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service was owed approximately $713,900, which included penalty and interest of about $125,000. Failure to liquidate the debt to the Internal Revenue Service, either through periodic payments or a lump sum could have an adverse impact on the Company, taken as a whole. The Company also became delinquent in the payment of its payroll taxes for a portion of the first and second quarter of the year 2002. Additional arrearages for the year 2002 amounts to about $135,000, which does not include penalty and interest. Total amount due the Department of the Treasury is in excess of $848,900. Management is aware that the estimated Trust portion of the outstanding payroll taxes amounts to approximately $525,000. Management will be commencing a dialog with the Service during the year 2002. Management's intention is to develop a payment plan with the Treasury that will coincide with its cash flow requirements. There can be no assurances that the Company and the Department of Treasury can reach an amicable solution to the arrearages.

The Company has been in compliance with payroll taxes for the year 2001 in both filings and payments.

4. Concentration of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents and receivables. During the year, the Company's account balances with financial institutions may exceed federally insured limits. Management regularly monitors their balances and attempts to keep this potential risk to a minimum by maintaining their accounts with financial institutions that they believe are of good quality.

The Company may have a concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable during the year. The Company does not perform credit evaluations and does not require collateral from its customers. The Company maintains when appropriate, an allowance for doubtful accounts. Therefore, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collections losses are believed inherent in the Company's receivables.

The Company is dependent upon a few major suppliers of routers, other equipment and telephone lines necessary for operations. Management is making every effort to seek alternative suppliers if the current suppliers ceased to service the Company. Alternative sources are available but there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful with alternative suppliers. The impact of not obtaining alternate suppliers will have a significant impact on the operations of the Company.

$1,100,000

Notes payable, shareholders amounting to $1,000,000 have options to convert the outstanding loans into common stock at a ceiling of $1.00 per share to a floor of the lowest price sold or $0.075 as of December 31, 2001. Notes payable, shareholders amounting to $750,000 have options to convert into common stock at $1.25 per share for the first 90 days down to $0.20 per share. In addition, certain notes contained an option to convert to preferred stock at rates ranging from $1.25 to $0.40 per share. During the year, certain common shareholders advanced $250,000 to the Company at 10%, with a special feature to convert the loans into preferred stock at $0.20 per share. During the year, those certain shareholders exercised their options and converted $250,000 of loans into preferred stock. The preferred stock can be converted into common stock (6,250,000 shares) after the third anniversary date of the exercise (June 30, 2001). The preferred stock has a special voting feature. The special voting feature permits that voting rights of the preferred stock holders are equal ten times (10) the representative common stock for a three-(3) year period terminating on February 15, 2004. The conversion of the preferred voting rights represents the equivalent of 12,500,000 common shares.

Note payable, investor group, amounting to $200,000, has an option to convert the note into common shares at the lesser of $0.35 per share or 78% of the lowest market price traded during the thirty days prior to exercising the election to convert, as amended. At $0.35 per share the note can be converted into 571,430 shares. Had the exercise been completed at year-end, the conversion per share would have been $0.13 per share or 1,538,400 common shares.

The unsecured convertible advance of $100,000 is presently in dispute with management. It is management's opinion, that the unsecured advance can be converted into common stock at $0.50 per share (200,000 shares). It is the opinion of the shareholder/creditor, that the unsecured advance bears interest at 6% the first year and 18% thereafter. In addition, the unsecured advance can be converted into common stock at $0.125 per share or at the lowest sales price of the common stock up to October 25, 2002. It is the unsecured creditor's opinion that a former member of management approved these special features. It is the opinion of present management that the unsecured advance tendered the Company had no special features and if any former member of management approved those special features, then that former member acted beyond the scope of his authority. Management will vigorously object to any payments beyond the $0.50 per share in the form of common stock. Management did not accrue approximately $15,000 of special feature interest on this obligation.

The Company has accrued interest of approximately $227,600 as of December 31, 2001 and approximately $22,000 as of December 31, 2000 relating to these shareholder notes. Related party interest charged to operations was $205,900 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $22,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. Subsequent to year-end, accrued interest amounting to approximately $92,300 was converted into 2,590,000 common shares at $0.356 per share, which was the fair value traded at the date of exchange. Had the Company not been in default of its capital leases, annual maturities of the obligations subsequent to December 31, 2000, would have been:

As previously disclosed, management has been negotiating with the creditor's for new terms. Management wants to return certain equipment with a fair value of $1.5 million and then discount the adjusted outstanding balance, and amortize the discounted balance over a two (2) year period. There can be no assurances that management and the creditor will reach an amicable resolution to this matter.

At December 31, 2001, the Company had available federal net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $16,000,000, which expires in 2016.

In accordance with certain provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, a change in ownership of greater that 50% of a corporation within a three year period will place an annual limitation on the corporation's ability to utilize its existing tax benefit carryforwards. Such a change in ownership occurred in 2000. However, based upon the amount of the taxable loss incurred prior to the change in ownership, the Company estimates that no annual limitation will apply to the net operating loss carryforwards.

9. Options and warrants:

The Company has granted various stock options to various employees and to a shareholder under an employment agreement and to certain other shareholders who have provided financing under notes payable, shareholders. The USD Stock Incentive Plan, administered by a Compensation Committee for officers and key employees, may grant options at prices established by the Committee when an option if granted, which usually will be the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant. The Plan provides that the options will expire as the Committee may specify in the applicable option agreement.

The Company has also issued 3,076,667 stock purchase warrants. The warrants were issued between June 30, 2000 through October 25, 2000 at an initial value ranging from $7.17 to $7.25 per warrant. Each warrant represents the right to purchase one share of stock. The warrants expire on varying dates from September 27, 2002 to June 30, 2005.

Subsequent to year-end, 500,000 employee stock options were exercised at $01 per share. The options exercised during the year were recorded at the fair value of the stock traded less a discount of 65%. An investor group converted a portion of the convertible note into 10,000 common shares at $0.1092 per share. No warrants have been exercised. The options granted employees have been vested. The strike prices of the warrants, are in general, greater than the fair market value of the common stock when the warrants were issued.

10. Equity securities:

Preferred stock:

As previously discussed in Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements, certain shareholders advanced $250,000 of working capital to the Company. These advances had a special conversion feature for preferred stock, which was exercised during the year. As a result of the exercise, 1,250,000 shares of preferred stock were issued as satisfaction to the working capital advances at $0.20 per share. These preferred shares have a special voting feature equal to ten times (10) the representative common stock for a three- (3) year period terminating February 15, 2004. The special voting feature of the preferred stock represents the equivalent of 12,500,000 common shares. The preferred stock can be converted to common stock on a one for one basis or 1,250,000 common shares. The fair value of the preferred stock was determined by management based on the lack of marketability of both the preferred and common stock. Management used the fair value of its common stock, which the Company used in the selling of securities in private placements. The preferred stock has no preferences and according to counsel may be issued at less than par.

Common stock:

During the year the Company sold approximately 34.0 million common shares for $3.2 million. The weighted average sale price was about $0.1063 per share. During this same period the average fair market value of the security ranged from a high of $2.21 to a low of $0.24 per share. The securities sold by the Company ranged from a high of $1.50 to a low of $0.05 per share. Due to the lack of marketability and other factors, the Company discounted the shares (hair-cuts) from 93% to 32%. Total discounts for the year 2001 amount to about $14,300.

The Company also issued common stock for services amounting to approximately 5.1 million shares for $381,800 or an average of $0.0758 per share. These shares also contained the same discounts (haircuts) that were given to the other shareholders ranging from 45% to 65%.

Escrow performance shares:

As part of a sale of securities to an investor group, the investor group demanded that the Company assures the investor group that it would earn a 25% return on investment and that the Company would have completed certain performances. In accordance with that commitment, the Company issued 526,316 common shares as a performance bond, which shares were placed in escrow with the investor's group attorney. These performance securities were valued at fair value, after a discount of 58% amounting to $210,500. The investor group earns the shares, for lack of non-performance by the Company, on a monthly basis. As of December 31, 2001, the investor group earned approximately 212,500 escrow shares. The fair value of those shares amounting to $85,000 has been charged to current operations. The escrow shares are reflected as part of shareholders deficit.

11. Commitments, contingencies, litigation, transactions with related parties and subsequent event:

Employment contract:

On March 2, 2000, the Company executed a two- (2) year employment agreement with its current Chief Operating Officer/shareholder. The agreement has a renewal term option for two (2) additional years with one (1) year renewal options thereafter after the initial option period (presently in negotiation). The agreement provides for annual compensation of $125,000 (fully paid), when the Company becomes fully funded. Any underpayments shall be accrued and paid at a later date. The agreement provides for an annual incentive bonus based on performance. The incentive bonus is determined annually based on one percent (1.0%) of the Company's profit before EBITDA based on sales. For each $5 million dollar increment in sales the agreement provides for $50,000 in bonus. The incentive bonus can be paid in cash or Company stock, at the employee's option. If payment is made in the form of common stock of the Company the price shall be based on eighty percent (80.0%) of the average bid-asked price on the day of exercise. While employed, there is no limit on the exercise period. If termination were to occur, so long as the Company reached fifty percent (50.0%) of the first incentive plateau ($5 million), the employee will be entitled to a pro-rata share of the incentive plan. Total minimum commitment under the agreement is $375,000, which includes the first renewal option and excluding any incentive plan. Future increases in the annual base compensation are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, the COO was also entitled to a sign-on bonus, amounting to 4.44% of the outstanding shares, non-dilutive common shares. These bonus shares have been included as part of options granted, but not exercised. The bonus shares were terminated in the subsequent period. There are no other employment contracts at present.

Rental commitments:

The Company conducts it operations from leased premises and also leases certain equipment under operating leases. Management is presently in discussion to extend the option period of leased premises from one (1) to five (5) years. No rental rates for the new extended option years have been determined. The aggregate minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable leases, including the current option period in effect at December 31, 2001 were as follows:

Litigation:

The Company is a defendant in a matter before the United States District Court, Southern Division of Florida, concerning breaches of a series of agreements with a major supplier with claims in excess of $2.0 million. The Company has denied the allegations and is asserting a series of affirmative defenses primarily in the nature that the supplier failed to furnish the services and was incapable of furnishing the services when the Company was induced to enter the agreements. The Company has filed a counterclaim. Management is vigorously defending the complaint and absolutely denies any liability on the contracts the supplier asserts that give rise to the claims. It is counsel's opinion that the Company will prevail in this matter.

The Company is a defendant is various other matters before the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court and the Broward County Circuit Court for non-payment of outstanding trade payables. Most of these matters have been resolved and in the opinion of counsel the financial exposure to the Company ranges between $30,700 to $54,700.

From time to time, the Company is a defendant in various other matters. The Company considers those types of matters to be incidental to the Company's business and is of the opinion that any financial exposure will not materially affect the financial position of the Company.

The Company was a defendant in a matter concerning common stock voting rights issued to a former officer. The former officer was the original proxy holder of 6,066,625 shares. As a result of the dismissal against the Company, the plaintiff continues to pursue relief against the other defendants. Management will vigorously defend any claims made against the Company resulting from this action which may arise.

Other:

The Company's management has been informally discussing its unsecured short-term debt with its various suppliers. With the development of its new business plan, management is aggressively attempting to obtain various credits and allowances from its unsecured creditors in order to assist the Company to emerge from development stage. It is the opinion of management that these types of efforts are a part of its restructuring plans. These efforts will assist the Company to obtain new financing and investors.

Subsequent events:

As previously disclosed in the notes to financial statements, the Company has received additional working capital through the additional borrowings and from the additional sale of common stock. In addition, certain shareholders converted accrued interest in exchange of common stock.

In March 2002, as amended on April 17, 2002, the Company entered a "Subscription Agreement" with a group of investors from Spain, Dominican Republic and the United States (the Investors). Under the terms of the agreement, the Investors are to fund $18.4 million in exchange for 10 million shares of common stock at $0.16 per share and 20 million shares of Preferred Stock, Series A, at $0.84 per share. The payment of the $18.4 million is upon a timetable at approximately thirty (30) day increments from date of closing (March 7, 2002), which can be accelerated. The agreement grants the Investors options to acquire an additional 10 million common stock at sales prices ranging from $1.00 to $3.00 per share, when the trading value of the stock ranges from $2.00 to $6.00 per share. A summary of the stock sales, options are as follows:

Eight (8) million of the ten (10) million options vests when the Company receives eighty percent (80%) of the $18.4 million or $14.7 million.

The subscription agreement was amended on April 17, 2002. The amendment requires that upon receipt of the first $1.0 million from the subscription agreement, the Company is required to apply $100,000 against the amounts due the Internal Revenue Service and to simultaneously commence a dialog with the Service to resolve the outstanding payroll tax issues.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Subscription Agreement, the Company entered into an exclusive Engagement Agreement with US Data International Development, Inc., (International) an unrelated company to US Data Authority, Inc., but a related party to the Investor Group. The principal of the Engagement Agreement is a 37.5% participant in the Investor Group. The agreement with International expires on March 7, 2005, with renewal options on a year to year basis, unless terminated by either party within a ninety- (90) day window before the anniversary date. International will provide all international marketing and sales coordination, purchasing the products at a mutually agreed upon wholesale price and sold by International at a retail price to be determined. International will negotiate the acquisition of and/or licensing of technologies, retrieval and storage. International projects that it will represent 80% of new sales. International will also assist in obtaining additional funding when necessary.

The Company, so long as it receives its funding under the Subscription Agreement, shall pay to International an annual retainer fee of $1.2 million. During the same period, International shall receive an additional fee of 3% of gross sales. The Company shall reimburse International all pre-approved production and marketing costs, including travel.

Upon execution of the Engagement Agreement, International shall receive restricted stock grants for one 1.0 million shares of common stock at par. In addition, International is to be given options to acquire 3.0 million shares of common stock at 50% of the marked bid price beginning three months from March 7, 2002 for the first million shares and three months thereafter for the second million shares. The third million shares can be exercised when the Company achieves a positive EBITDA for a three-month consecutive period. All options for International vest immediately and expire on March 7, 2007.

The principal of International, who is also a member of the Investor Group, has an oral placement agent and consulting agreement with the Company, whereby the related party is entitled to payments in cash equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross amount of each installment to be paid to the Company by the Investor Group. The ten percent (10%) fee is payable when each installment is received by the Company. Maximum fees to the related party will be $1.84 million.

There are no assurances that the Subscription Agreement will be fully funded.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

In December 2001, we granted 1,000,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock to Dominick F. Maggio, then Executive Vice President and COO. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, dated October 23, 2001, after the completion of a 90-day probation period we also granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock to Peter D. Kirschner, then our President and Chief Executive Officer. All of these options were exercisable at a per share price of $0.01, within five (5) years from the date of grant. Mr. Kirschner was recently terminated by the Company for cause.

Stock Incentive Plan

The board of directors has adopted a stock option plan titled the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). We have reserved 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. The Plan is intended to assist us in securing and retaining key employees, directors and consultants by allowing them to participate in our ownership and growth through the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock.

Under the Plan we may grant incentive stock options only to our employees, and we may grant non-qualified options or restricted stock to our employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Plan is currently administered by our board of directors.

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the board of directors will determine who shall receive grants under the Plan and the type and terms of such grants.

As of the date of this report, there are no options outstanding (i.e., granted but unexercised) under the Plan.

Option Exercises and Holdings

Except for Dominick F. Maggio, who exercised all of the 1,000,000 options granted to him in December 2001, and Peter D. Kirschner, who exercised all of the 500,000 options granted to him in January 2002, neither our Chief Executive Officer nor our four highest paid executive officers who earned more than $100,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, exercised any options to purchase shares of our common stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

Long-Term Incentive Plans Awards in Last Fiscal Year

We did not award any grants under long-term incentive plans during fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 to our Chief Executive Officer or to our four highest paid executive officers who earned more than $100,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

Compensation of Directors

We did not have any compensation plans in effect during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

Employment Contracts

We entered into an employment agreement with Peter D. Kirschner to serve as our President and CEO, dated as of October 23, 2001, for an initial term of three (3) years. The agreement was terminated, on April 29, 2002, by the Company for cause. Mr. Kirschner's agreement provided for an annual base salary in the amount of $180,000 and for options for 500,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at the per share price of $0.01.

We also have an employment agreement with our newly-elected President and CEO, Dominick F. Maggio. The agreement, dated March 2, 2000, was executed when Mr. Maggio served as our Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice-President. It had an initial term of two years, and is subject to automatic renewal in one year increments unless terminated by either party by providing the other party with notice prior to a renewal term. The agreement automatically renewed for one year on March 2, 2002. The agreement provided for compensation in the amount of $125,000 for the first year of the term. Annual compensation was to be adjusted annually thereafter by our board of directors. The agreement provides for an annual incentive bonus during the term in the amount of $50,000 for each $5,000,000 of profit earned by us in the year, and for a signing bonus in the amount of 4.444% of our nondiluted common stock then outstanding, as modified on April 19, 2001. On December 21, 2001, simultaneously with exercising the 1,000,000 options, Mr. Maggio waived his rights to receive the signing bonus. The agreement contains a nondisclosure provision and a two year noncompetition agreement. If terminated by us without cause, the agreement provides for a severance payment to Mr. Maggio in the amount of one month of base salary for each two months of employment with us, with a minimum payment of six months of base salary and a maximum of 12 months of base salary.

* Information relating to beneficial ownership of the Common Stock is based upon "beneficial ownership" concepts set forth in rules of the SEC under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Under such rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares "voting power," which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or "investment power," which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no beneficial interest. For instance, beneficial ownership includes spouses, minor children and other relatives residing in the same household, and trusts, partnerships, corporations or deferred compensation plans which are affiliated with the principal.

  1. The percentages are based on (i) 85,950,582 shares of Common Stock outstanding; and (ii) 1, 250,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding on May 9, 2002.

The number of shares listed includes: (i) 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock purchased by the group; (ii) 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock which may be purchased by the group at any time; and (iii) 20,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which may be purchased by the group at any time; the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to 10 votes per share of preferred stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converts into one share of Common Stock on April 29, 2005.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

We have entered into a series of loan arrangements with certain of directors and shareholders since October 2000. Specifically, we have borrowed:

  • $250,000 from each of Melvyn B. Siegel, a former director of the Company, Richard J. Lucibella, a former director, Joseph E. Shamy, a former director, and Harvey Birdman, a shareholder, through the issuance of a 12% one-year convertible note to each. Each note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the rate of the lesser of $1.00 per share or the per share sales price in any private placement taking place before the holder's exercise of the conversion privilege;
  • an additional $50,000 from Melvyn B. Siegel, a former director, through the issuance of a one-year 12% convertible note on January 5, 2001 (the "Siegel 50K Note"). The note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $1.25 per share (if converted within 30 days), $.75 per share (if converted within 60 days), $.40 per share (if converted within 90 days) and $.20 per share (if converted after 90 days).
  • $200,000 from Raymond J. Markman, a former director, through the issuance of three 12% one-year convertible notes, for $100,000 on January 5, 2001, $100,000 on January 19, 2001, and $50,000 on March 12, 2001. Each note is convertible in on the same terms and conditions as the Siegel 50K Note.

In October and November 2001, we entered into loan modification arrangements with Messrs. Birdman, Siegel and Markman relating to their respective loans to us. Messrs. Birdman and Siegel each agreed to extend for one year the terms of their original $250,000 loans, to October 25, 2002, to forgive accrued interest from October 25, 2000, to October 25, 2001, and to waive interest for the period of October 25, 2001 to October 25, 2002, each in exchange for 925,000 shares of our Common Stock, with Mr. Siegel also agreeing to extend the maturity of and waive interest payments with respect to the Siegel 50K Note, to January 5, 2003. Under the terms of our arrangement with Mr. Markman, he has agreed to extend or fix (as the case may be) the maturity dates of his notes for or at one year from the immediate past or next maturity date and receive, in lieu of interest accrued during the first year and interest to be accrued during the second year, 740,000 shares of Common Stock. Under the arrangements, if any note is not prepaid by us earlier than six months prior to its new maturity date, the holder may elect, at any time, to convert the outstanding principal into shares of our Common Stock at $.20 per share. During December 2001, Messrs. Lucibella and Shamy have each orally agreed to waive any events of default with respect to such notes pending conclusion of further discussions with us. In March 2002, Mr. Lucibella converted his $250,000 note into 5,000,000 shares of the Common Stock.

We also borrowed:

  • An additional $650,000 from Joseph E. Shamy, a former director, through the issuance of three 12% one-year convertible notes, for $50,000 on January 5, 2001, $100,000 on January 19, 2001 and $100,000 on January 25, 2001, and three 10% one-year convertible notes, for $200,000 on February 15, 2001, $50,000 on March 19, 2001 and $200,000 on April 11, 2001. Each of the notes, except the note issued on February 15, 2001 (the "Preferred Convertible Note"), is convertible into shares of our Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the Siegel 50K Note. The Preferred Convertible Note was convertible into shares of our Series A. Preferred Stock at the rate of $.20 per share. On March 8, 2001, Mr. Shamy converted the principal and accrued interest of the Preferred Convertible Note into 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. During December 2001, Mr. Shamy has orally agreed to waive all events of default under the five outstanding notes pending conclusion of further discussions with us.
  • $100,000 from David P. Lonski, a former director, through the issuance of one 12% one-year convertible note for $50,000 on January 25, 2001, and one 10% one-year convertible note for $50,000 on February 15, 2001. The January 25, 2001, note is convertible into shares of our Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the Siegel 50K Note. The February 15, 2001, note was convertible into shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at the rate of $.20 per share. On March 8, 2001, Mr. Lonski converted the principal and accrued interest of this note into 250,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. During December 2001, Mr. Lonski has orally agreed to waive all events of default under the one outstanding note pending conclusion of further discussions with us.

Also, on October 24, 2000, we entered into an agreement with our now former chief technical employee, Adam Reiser, whereby we agreed to pay him $225,000 in annual compensation through December 31, 2002. Additionally, during the year 2000, Mr. Reiser received an advance from us of approximately $194,200, agreeing to place 50,000 shares of our Common Stock that he owned in escrow as collateral for the advance. Mr. Reiser reduced the amount owed to us under the advance by approximately $64,600 in payments through February 2, 2001. On such date he turned over to us the 50,000 shares of Common Stock in full satisfaction of the advance, including accrued interest, and waived all rights to receive any additional payments from us.
