3 Part 1 Item 1 - Business (a) GAP Instrument Corp., organized in 1953, is a systems engineering oriented manufacturing organization, producing electromechanical/solid state systems to satisfy specific military and commercial requirements for application on board ships, in aircraft, and at ground-based installations. These various systems are primarily servo mechanisms (gear trains run by motors, synchros and resolvers) and state-of-the-art signal data-conversion equipment employed in load actuation, information readout display, and operation control. GAP Instrument Corp. is fully aware that its military manufacturing business over the next decade will continue to decline. While utilizing the same disciplines to continue its efforts in the areas of test equipment and simulation equipment, GAP Instrument Corp. has found appropriate areas of diversification to convert from a military manufacturing market. GAP Instrument Corp. has entered the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) market as a Value Added Network (VAN) connecting Federal contractors to the Department of Defense and Federal Agencies. The United States Government has been in the process of changing from a paper based system to an electronic system since 1985. This culminated in an executive memo (Federal Register Vol. 58 #207) and by legislation, the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-355). These two documents set the ground rules for the Federal conversion to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). The only means of communicating with the Government is via a licensed and certified Value Added Network. GAP Instrument Corp. is one of the 28 licensed and certified Value Added Networks. Procurement is the first area that the Government is converting to EDI. (b) GAP Instrument Corp.'s operations are no longer classified as a single industry segment. (1) (I) The principal market for GAP Instrument Corp.'s equipment has been the Department of Defense for military requirements. GAP Instrument Corp. deals with the Department of Defense directly in open competitive bidding and as a subcontractor to other major defense contractors on larger programs. GAP Instrument Corp. operates a Value Added Network and is certified to carry Federal Acquisition Network (FACNET) transmissions. GAP Instrument Corp. is selling VAN service to contractors who do business with the Federal Government. (II) Not applicable (III) The materials utilized in the equipment produced by GAP Instrument Corp. are obtained from standard sources within the United States. These standard sources include foundries, sheet metal shops, machine shops, component manufacturers, etc. (IV) None of the equipment or processes utilized by GAP Instrument Corp. are covered by patents, licenses, franchises, etc. (V) Not applicable. (VI) Manufacturing operations are scheduled to fulfill specific product orders under firm contracts primarily from the Department of Defense. GAP Instrument Corp. does not carry significant amounts of stock inventory. (VII) GAP Instrument Corp.'s present overall business is dependent on, the Department of Defense, which presently purchases, either directly or indirectly, approximately 70 percent in value of its products. This is in the process of shifting to providing VAN service to other Government contractors. (VIII) The dollar backlog of orders of GAP Instrument Corp. at September 30, 1996 was $196,000, compared to $116,000 at December 31, 1995. All of the September 30, 1996 backlog is expected to be shipped in fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. (IX) Not applicable 4 (X) Item (c)(1)(I). (XII)Compliance with environmental regulations has not had a material effect on capital expenditures. (2) (I) Not applicable (II) Department of Defense. (III) None. (IV) The total number of personnel employed by GAP Instrument Corp. as of the end of fiscal year 1996 was 5. (d) GAP Instrument Corp. does not engage in material operations in foreign countries, nor is its business dependent on a domestic geographic location. Item 2 - Properties (a) On December 31, 1994 GAP Instrument Corp. leased space at 100 Horse Block Rd., Yaphank from an affiliate company. The rent is currently $3,200 per month on a month to month basis. Rent expense from Jan 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996 was $35,400 for the Yaphank facility. Item 3 - Legal Proceedings (a) On September 24, 1993, GAP Instrument Corp. the Debtor filed partitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence prior to the filing of the petitions for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as "Debtor-in-Possession". These claims are reflected in the December 31, 1994 balance sheet as "Liabilities subject to Compromise." Additional claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise subsequent to the filing date resulting from rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination by the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts. On October 2, 1995, the Company's Plan of Reorganization was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court. Payments under the approved plan are reflected on the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1995 as "Liabilities under a Plan of Reorganization." Under the terms of the plan of reorganization payments to the Internal Revenue Service and New York State Department of Labor provide for full payment of amounts due over five years. Claims of two prior officers are payable at a reduced amount over the same five years. All unsecured creditors will be paid fifty percent of their claim in five equal installments upon the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of approval of the Plan. A former officer of the company has commenced action against the company. The management believes that any settlement if any will not have an material effect on the company. (b) Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation approved by New York State changed authorized shares from 104,000,000 to 604,000,000 shares, per approval by stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders May 2, 1995. Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders On 2 May 1995 an Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held. A resolutions was passed to authorize and empower the Board of directors to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common stock of GAP Instrument Corporation from its present amount of One Hundred Four Million (104,000,000) shares to Six Hundred Four Million (604,000,000) shares of par value of One Ten Thousandth of a cent per share ($0.000001). The State of New York approved this action April 1996. 5 PART II Item 5- Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Security Holders' Matters At September 30,1996 , GAP Instrument Corp. had issued and outstanding 111,290,603 shares of common stock held by 1,087 stockholders of record.

(1) Note Payable expunged during the Chapter 11 Proceeding 6 Item 7- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources GAP Instrument Corp. has primarily relied on its results from operations to provide working capital. Due to lack of working capital on September 23, 1993, GAP Instrument Corp. the Debtor filed partitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. In order to continue operations, and pay post petition expenses, GAP Instrument Corp. issued, on July 29, 1994, 93,000,000 shares of common stock, and on October 31, 1995, 1,744,070 shares of common stock, and on June 16, 1996 12,613,290 shares of common stock, to suppliers and key personnel. On October 2, 1995 GAP Instrument Corp. emerged from Chapter 11 and is operating under a plan approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York and the creditors. Management's plans and GAP Instrument Corp.'s ability to continue in existence as a going concern is substantially dependent upon the continued financial support of its principle shareholders, its ability to obtain equity and/or debt financing, and/or the commercial success of its VAN operations. There can be no assurance, however, that management's plan will be successful. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating income (loss) for the fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, were ($391,715), ($98,016) and ($154,677). Sales volume for the respective years were $188,403, $258,548 and $332,312. Sales volume for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994 were substantially less than prior years as the Department of Defense is now only buying parts to replace and repair as the part is needed. General and administrative costs are reviewed continually to keep expenses as low as possible. GAP Instrument Corp. is fully aware that its military business over the next decade will continue to decline. Thus, GAP Instrument Corp. entered the telecommunications market as an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Value Added Network (VAN) for the Federal Government and for Federal contractors. Federal tax loss carry forwards at September 30, 1996 are ($801,000) which will provide for future tax benefits relief in future years. The dollar backlog of sales at September 30 ,1996 and December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $196,000, $116,000 and $48,500. All of the FY 1996 backlog will be shipped in FY 1997. 7 Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Shareholders of GAP Instrument Corp. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of GAP Instrument Corp. as of September 30, 1996, and the related statements of loss and accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Company, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated April 29, 1996 and January 31, 1995, respectively, included explanatory paragraphs that described the Company's going concern uncertainty. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 GAP Instrument Corp. as of September 30, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recently emerged from bankruptcy, has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital and shareholder deficiency at September 30, 1996. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ ISRAELOFF, TRATTNER & CO., CPAs, P.C.

Morrison, CPA 71 Amy Dr. Sayville, New York To the Board of Directors and Stockholders GAP Instrument Corp. Yaphank, New York I have audited the financial statements and supplemental schedules of GAP Instrument Corp. listed in Item 14 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. The financial statements and supplemental schedules as listed in Item 14 for the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991 were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 30, 1993, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GAP Instruments Corp. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that GAP Instrument Corp. will continue as a going concern. There is substantial doubt about the ability of GAP Instrument Corp. to continue as a going concern at December 31, 1994. As shown in the financial statements, the Company had net losses of $(162,202), $(438,457), and $ (154,083) during each of the three years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, and, as of those dates, had net equity (deficit) of $(433,718), $(511,390), and $(167,934) respectively. As described in Note 1, the Company has filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The liabilities on the balance sheet are subject to comprise from the reorganization plan, however, since the plan has not been finalized, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements at December 31, 1994.

(the Company), organized in 1953, is a systems engineering oriented manufacturing organization, producing electronic products used for data conversion and display instrumentation on board ships, in aircraft, and at ground-based installations. While utilizing the same disciplines to continue its efforts in the areas of test and simulation equipment, the Company has commenced operations of a Value Added Network (VAN) connecting Federal contractors via the Internet to the Department of Defense and Federal Agencies. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR The Company has changed its fiscal year from December 31 to September 30. The accompanying financial statements include audited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Unaudited financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 is presented for comparative purposes only. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to the valuation of receivables and litigation. It is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include cash, and trade receivables and payables for which carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company's reorganization debt or shareholder debt. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers demand deposits and money market funds to be cash. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION Property and equipment is stated at cost. Major expenditures for property and those which substantially increase useful lives are capitalized. 15 GAP INSTRUMENT CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION (CONTINUED) Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are included in income. Depreciation is provided by straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. DEFERRED REVENUE AND CUSTOMER DEPOSITS The Company sells annual subscriptions to its VAN. Revenue from those subscriptions are taken into income on a straight-line basis over the one-year period of the subscriptions. Related costs are expenses as incurred. Customer deposits represent amounts received on account for future product to be provided. MAJOR CUSTOMERS At September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the U.S. Department of Defense accounted for 76% and 89% of the accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, these agencies accounted for 69%, 87% and 74% of sales, respectively. PER SHARE DATA Earnings per share data are based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The average number of common shares outstanding for September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 103,498,158, 98,678,423 and 96,934,353, respectively. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND REORGANIZATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. On September 24, 1993, the Company filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. The Company operated under the Court's protection until October 5, 1995, when the Court confirmed the Company's Plan of Reorganization (the Plan). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company was relieved of all long-term debt agreements. The Company's remaining liabilities were negotiated. The Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $293,870, representing the difference between the carrying value of the 16 GAP INSTRUMENT CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND REORGANIZATION (CONTINUED) liabilities and the amount required to be repaid by the Company. The resulting liabilities are reflected in the Balance Sheet as "Liabilities Resulting from the Plan of Reorganization". Although the Company has emerged from Chapter 11, as shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring operating losses and, at September 30, 1996, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $267,434 and a shareholder's deficit of $387,465. Management's plans and the Company's ability to continue in existence as a going concern is substantially dependent upon the continued financial support of its principal shareholders, its ability to obtain equity and/or debt financing, and/or the commercial success of its VAN operations. There can be no assurance, however, that management's plan will be successful. 3. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash paid for interest in 1996 was $3,912. Additionally, during 1996, the Company had the following non-cash financing activities: The Company issued common stock in exchange for services in the amount of $252,614.

18 GAP INSTRUMENT CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 6. INCOME TAXES The annual provision for income taxes differs from amounts computed applying the maximum federal income tax rate to the pre-tax income as follows:
September 30, December 31, December 31, 1996 1995 1994 ------------ ------------ ----------- Computed tax at maximum rate $ - $ 65,230 $ - State, net of federal tax effect - 404 - Tax benefit of net operating loss carryforward - (65,634) - ------- ------- ------- Total income taxes $ - $ - $ - ======= ======= =======
Unused operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $801,000, are available for carry forward against future years' taxable income and expire through the year 2009. Deferred tax benefits for the carryforward losses have been fully offset by valuation allowances since it has not been established that realization of these benefits is more likely than not. 7.
