In May 2000, the Company exercised an option to acquire the remaining 30% interest in CMS Technology Limited (CMS) in exchange for 360,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a market price of $6.50 per share. The acquisition was effective May 15, 2000. The fair market value of 30% interest of CMS amounted to $1,824,050. Consequently the Company recognized goodwill of $515,950, which will be amortized over a five-year period on a straight line basis. See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements. 8 Bridge Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Organization and Business ------------------------- Bridge Technology, Inc. ("the Company") was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 15, 1969. Starting from April 1997, the Company registered to do business in the State of California and is primarily engaged in development and distribution of various hardware, software, and peripheral products used in computer systems and sales to value added resellers and system integrators. The Company started to enter into wireless internet business through joint ventures in 1999. The Company has the following subsidiarsies: Ownership --------- Bridge R&D, Inc. 100% Established on June 1, 1997 Newcorp Technology Ltd. (in Japan) 100% Merged on November 1, 1997 PTI Enclosures, Inc. 100% Merged on December 14, 1998 Newcorp Technology, Inc. (USA) 100% Established on March 23, 1999 Pacific Bridge Net 100% Established on August 16, 1999 Autec Power Systems, Inc. 100% Merged on December 1, 1999 CMS Technology Ltd. 90% Acquired on January 3, 2000 (60%) Acquired on May 15, 2000 (30%) Bridge Technology Ningbo Co. Ltd. 100% Established on May 28, 2001 Note 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000. Note 2. Reclassification Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2000 have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2001 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on shareholders' equity as previously reported. Note 3. Earnings Per Share Computation We compute earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board's No. 128 which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as stock options and warrants to issue common stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. 9 The computations of the weighted-average common shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share is based on 10,863,186 shares for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001. The computations of the weighted-average common shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share is based on 10,853,186 and 11,219,176 shares, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2000, and 10,650,529 and 11,016,519 shares, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Potential dilutive securities were not included in the EPS calculation since their effect would be antidilutive. Potential dilutive securities consisted of outstanding stock options and stock warrants. Note 4. Income Taxes As of December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001, a valuation allowance has been provided for that portion of the net deferred tax asset which management cannot determine, with reasonable certainty, that the benefit will be realized. One of the subsidiaries of the Company has net operating loss carryforwards which are separate return year losses in the amount of approximately $16,000, and will begin to expire in 2008. On December 14, 1998, the subsidiary had a change in ownership as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The net operating loss carryforward is subject to an annual limitation. Note 5. Shareholders' Equity In February 2001, the Company granted 150,000 warrants, with an exercise price ranging from $3.00 to $5.00 per share and vesting immediately, to outside consultants in exchange for their services to be provided. In April 2001, the Company issued 15,000 warrants, at an exercise price of $3.00 and vesting immediately, to a member of the Advisory Board. Note 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. The Company disclaims any obligations to update these forward-looking statements. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales of $47,253,682 for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2001 increased by $18,914,977 (66.7%) over net sales of $28,338,705 for the same period of 2000. This increase was due primarily to the growth of the Company's channel distribution business in China, summarized as follows: Three months ended Three months ended % September 30, 2000 September 30, 2001 Change ------------------ ------------------ -------- U.S. Unit Sales $ 12,648,177 $ 9,428,647 down 25% Asia Unit Sales 15,690,528 37,825,035 up 141% ------------------ ------------------ Total Sales $ 28,338,705 $ 47,253,682 ================== ================== Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $2,416,907, a 4.4% increase when compared to $2,315,990 the three months ended September 30, 2000, reflecting higher revenues for the period ended September 30, 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales declined from 8.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to 5.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease is principally due to losses incurred by the Company's power electronics business in the slower U.S. market. Research and development expenses increased by $121,706 to $281,362 in the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $159,656 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This represents a 76.2% increase and is due to the Company expanding its research projects in power electronics. 11 Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $686,728 to $2,555,924 in the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $1,869,196 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Part of the increase can be attributed to higher legal fees and to a goodwill amortization charge of $159,227 included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2001 as a result of the acquisition of CMS Technology Limited. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased from 6.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2000 to 5.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decline is largely due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses relative to revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Operating results decreased from income of $287,138 in the three months ended September 30, 2000 to a loss of $420,379 in the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in operating results is primarily attributed to losses incurred by the Company's power electronics business in the slower U.S. market. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased from a 1.0% profit in the three months ended September 30, 2000 to loss of 8.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net interest increased $108,640 from interest expense of $114,804 in the three months ended September 30, 2000 to interest expense of $223,444 in the three months ended September 30, 2001. Other income decreased from $8,051 in the three months ended September 30, 2000 to the $4,855 in the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net income decreased from a profit of $131,627 or $0.01 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to loss of $786,746 or $0.07 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2001 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales of $109,678,377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased by $34,084,842 (45.1%) over net sales of $75,593,535 for the same period of 2000. The increase was due primarily to the growth of the Company's channel distribution business in China for the period ended September 30, 2001, summarized as follows: Nine months ended Nine months ended % September 30, 2000 September 30, 2001 Change ------------------ ------------------ ---------- U.S. Unit Sales $ 31,078,328 $ 27,183,885 down 12.5% Asia Unit Sales 44,515,207 82,494,492 up 85% ------------------ ------------------ Total Sales $ 75,593,535 $109,678,377 ================== ================== Gross profit for nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $6,743,395 a 9.1% decrease when compared to $7,417,777 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, reflecting losses in the Company's power electronics business for the period ended September 30, 2001. Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales declined from 9.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to 6.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease is principally due to the losses incurred in the Company's power electronics business in the slower U.S. market. Research and development expenses increased by $373,151 to $936,383 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $563,232 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This represents a 66.3% increase and is due to the Company's decision to expand its research efforts and new projects in the power electronics business. 12 Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,274,974 to $6,701,744 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $5,426,770 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Part of the increase can be attributed to higher legal fees and to a goodwill amortization charge of $438,984 included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as a result of the acquisition of CMS Technology Limited. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased from 7.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to 6.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decline is largely due to the lower selling, general and administrative expenses relative to revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Operating results decreased from income of $1,427,775 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to loss of $894,732 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease principally reflects the losses incurred by the Company's power electronics business, new factory startup costs and lower shipments in the U.S market. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased from an 1.9% profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to an 0.8% loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net interest increased $315,354 from interest expense of $272,929 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to interest expense of $588,283 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Other income decreased from $122,493 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to the 110,991 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. A net loss of $1,766,740 or $0.16 per share was incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to a net income of $668,911 or $0.06 per share for the same period in 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- The Company maintains credit facilities with IBM Global Credit in Asia which has varied during the year from 19 million to 28 million. The Company had negotiated a 27 million dollars credit facility with IBM Global Credit to incorporate both the U.S. operations and the Asian operations with priority for the China channel marketing operations. This arrangement would satisfy the needs of the Company's Asia operations but leave little or no credit facility availabile for the Company's U.S. operations. Therefore, the negotiated agreement was not finalized and will not be consummated. The Company also maintains a $4,000,000 credit facility for U.S. operations which is not sufficient to sustain the growth planned for its domestic power electronics business. Accordingly negotiations are in progress with banking institutions to increase this line to $6,000,000, and curtailing the present line at General Bank. In addition, the Company has negotiated a long term loan of $996,656 from PTI, LLC and entity owned by shareholders. The Company's capital requirements continue to be substantial in light of the Company's continued growth record. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, with the assistance of $3,307,629 in shareholder long term loans, have been sufficient to cover its cash flow from operations. At September 30, 2001, the Company had working capital of $6,605,911 and cash of $1,347,559 compared to a working capital of $6,932,287 and cash of $4,870,836 at December 31, 2000. The Company has satisfied its working capital requirements with cash generated through operations, bank loans and shareholders and affiliates long term loans. 13 Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $6,001,317 as compared to $3,665,182 used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the difference is mainly due to net loss for the period. Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $5,419,854 primarily for the acquisition of CMS Technology Limited, net of cash acquired, as compared to $2,028,207 for the purchase of fixed assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $9,104,951 as compared to $4,509,654 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The change is attributable primarily to a $4.3 million stock subscription collected in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Company believes that it can fund the growth of its core business with internally generated cash flow in addition to its newly acquired financing from a major lender. Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ------------------------------------------------------------ In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of- interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company is also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142. The Company has not determined the impact of adopting SFAS 141 or SFAS 142. Effects of Inflation -------------------- The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its net sales and results of operations. 14 Effects of Fluctuation in Foreign Exchange Rates ------------------------------------------------ The Company continues to buy products and services from foreign suppliers. The Company contracts for such products and services denominated by U.S. dollars, thus eliminating the possible effect of currency fluctuations. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Newcorp Technology (Japan), was subject to such currency fluctuations and subsequently suffered losses due mainly to the decline of Japanese yen from 120.39 Yen/dollar at October 30, 1997 to present rate of 125.54 Yen/dollar at December 31, 2000. Effect on the September 11, 2001 terrorist activity --------------------------------------------------- The Company had begun experiencing a sharp slowdown in its power electronics manufacturing facility beginning in June 2001. We note no appreciable decline in business since September 11, 2001; in fact we are receiving substantial orders which are expected to be reflected in revenues beginning in the 1st quarter of 2002. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bridge Technology, Inc. develops products in the United States and Japan and sells primarily in North America, Asia and Europe. As a result, financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Since our Company's products are generally initially priced in U.S. Dollars and translated to local currency amounts, a strengthening of the dollar could make our Company's products less competitive in foreign markets. PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS -------------------------- A complaint has been filed against the Company for fees alledged to be due on an acquisition that was not consummated. The complaint seeks damages of approximately $2,000,000. The Company has tendered this matter to its insurance carriers. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and will be resolved in favor of the Company. A complaint has been filed against the Company for an alledged transfer of assets, technology, trade secrets, confidential information, business opportunities from Allied Web, a corporation owned by the Company's President, John Harwer. The Company never accepted assets etc. transferred from Allied Web. The Company paid $100,000 for assets acquired from John Harwer Inc., the exact sum John Harwer paid to a third party.
