PART I ------ Item 1. Description of Business. General The Company, through its subsidiaries Global MAINTECH, Inc. ("GMI") and Singlepoint Systems, Inc. ("SSI"), and divisions, supplies world class systems (device and system consolidation, systems and network management, professional services and storage products) to data centers. These products and services provide solutions that enable companies to better use their IT management tools. The Company's products include the Global MAINTECH Virtual Command Center ("VCC"), a master console that provides simultaneous control, operation, monitoring and console consolidation for mainframe, midrange, UNIX, Microsoft NT and networks. SSI manufactures and sells event notification software and provides professional services to help implement enterprise management solutions. The Company's Lavenir printed circuit board division manufactures and sells printed circuit board design software and plotters. The Company's customers include General Electric Capital Corporation, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, Systems Management Specialists, Inc., Ferntree Computer Corp. (Australia), SAP America, Inc., Deluxe Corporation, Bank One Services Corp., Worldspan, State Farm Insurance, Southern California Gas, MCI, Alltel Information Services, and Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. The Company has established partnerships with HP, IBM, BMC, Compaq, Internet Security Solutions, Remedy and Cabletron Spectrum. Together, the Company's products and services provide solutions that enhance the IT Framework solutions provided by these and other partner companies. The Company has expanded through internal development and acquisitions. SSI was acquired in November 1998 and on September 29, 1999 the Company purchased the assets, including software, of Lavenir Technology, Inc. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 1985 under the name Computer Aided Time Share, Inc. In 1995, the Company changed its name to Global MAINTECH Corporation. Monitoring Products and Services VCC. This product is a computer system, consisting of hardware and --- software, which monitors and controls diverse computers in a data center from a single, master console. A console is a computer terminal with access to the internal operation of other computers. The VCC can simultaneously manage servers, networks, mainframes and mid-range computers such as those with MVS, VM, OS390, UNIX, Microsoft and Windows NT platforms. The VCC is designed to perform three primary functions: - consolidate consoles into one monitor, a "virtual console" or single point of control; - monitor and control the computers connected to the virtual console; and 2 - automate most, if not all, of the routine processes performed by computer operators in data centers. It is an external system that monitors and controls the subject mainframe and other data center computers from a workstation-quality reduced instruction set, RISC-based UNIX system, computer which is housed separately from the computers it controls. VCC users are able to: - reduce staffing levels; - consolidate all data center operations and technical support functions to a single location regardless of the physical location of the data center(s); and - achieve improved levels of operational control and system availability. The hallmark of this product is that it allows centralized management and automated operations of multiple hardware platforms and networks on a local and remote basis. Users of the VCC are able to consolidate the management of entire data centers, whether the computing devices comprising the data center are located in one location or distributed across the world, into a single workstation that provides complete inter-connectivity and control over a network. The VCC is a hardware and software solution that is easy to install and use. Benefits include: access to enterprise-wide reports at various levels of the network, management of any task or computer console on local or remote basis, and automated warnings of potential or actual system problems. The VCC's ability to consolidate operational computer consoles reduces the need for operational staff, technical support and software licenses. The VCC is scalable to accommodate data center growth and change and can be installed and become operational in just a few days. The majority of systems and network management products are represented by software-only products employing invasive software agents, known as active agents, which are installed on each of the mission critical computing devices. Software agents can be either passive collectors of information or active searchers for information. Software that employs active agents is time consuming to install and by its nature activates the need for "change control," one of the eight functions of systems and network management. Any new software must go through the change control process to determine compatibility with all other software deployed on the subject computing device. This process may be extensive depending on which systems and network management software is used. The VCC is not designed to compete with the active agent software now prevalent in the industry. It is an external system that accepts the signals and information output of each of the devices to which it is connected. Consequently, it can use the infrastructure provided by native and non-native operational software to control the enterprise computing operations. The greater the information issuing from these devices, the more useful the VCC becomes. As a result, some of the other products offered by us employ passive agents to collect information from host devices or networks before passing that information on to the VCC. The VCC is a platform that allows customers to establish enterprise-wide operational control. In addition, we offer other products that complement the VCC, which are described below. Global Watch MVS/SNA. This product can operate on a stand-alone or fully -------------------- integrated basis with the VCC to manage a customer's networked environment for IBM's mainframe-based Net View application and customers have confirmed it uses only approximately 5% of the processing capacity required by Net View. In addition, it reduces exposure to network outages, improves average repair times on network problems and provides many analytic problem-solving tools. When Global Watch MVS/SNA is combined with the VCC, the customer can take advantage of the MVS Logical Console, which captures highlighted messages and WTOR's (Write to Operate with Reply) at the instant the messages are produced, in real time, from all LPAR's (Logical Partitions which divide a mainframe device into multiple internal devices), and displays the messages in a single, logical console alert window in the VCC. There is no need for any customization on the host computer's devices and messages can be collected from a nearly infinite number of CPUs/LPARs. Alarm Point(TM). This product can operate on a stand-alone or fully --------------- integrated basis with the VCC. It is an intelligent event notification system designed to receive status messages from event and system management tools, including the VCC, Hewlett-Packard's Open View, IBM's Tivoli TME, Computer Associates' Unicenter, and Cabletron's SPECTRUM, to alert the proper people of critical alarms. Alarm Point makes note of an appropriate "event" by making calls to all types of phones, digital and alphanumeric pagers, faxes and email. Alarm Point 3 "knows" the notification protocol by implementing pre-determined notification policies set-up using an easy to use graphical user interface. Alarm Point's telephony skills allow it to automatically recognize when a voicemail system or answering machine picks up the call and will leave a message and/or try an alternate contact. Through the use of integration modules and platform specific receptor agents, this telephony-based product has the ability to notify on alarms almost regardless of the hardware platform or operating system on which the alarms originated. Alarm Point is easily installed and can begin telephone notification on the first day of installation. Professional Services. Our forte is providing implementation skills for --------------------- enterprise management tools. We also provide strategic and tactical planning and implementation of enterprise management projects. These include projects involving mainframe, mid-tier and open systems computing environments. They involve projects ranging from the implementation of systems management tools to managing and monitoring mission critical applications within a corporation. We also install the industry's leading systems management products, including our own. Tape Library Storage Products Through our acquisition of Breece Hill Technologies, Inc., effective on April 1, 1999, we supply automated tape libraries used to backup, restore and archive information stored in networks on servers, PC's and workstations, and on-line data storage subsystems. The Company is currently investigating the possibility of a sale of Breece Hill. See "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments - - Proposed Sale of Breece Hill." Sales and Marketing We currently employ several different sales channels to properly fit the product. The VCC has been sold primarily through direct sales and through our business partnerships using our sales force. This requires appropriate training for each sales person and direct, consultative sales techniques. The direct sales team is supported by a dedicated telemarketing process and sales support in the form of written materials, CD-ROM presentations, VCR tape presentations and remote PC-based presentation routines available on the salespersons laptop computer. In June 1999, we announced a corporate sponsorship and alliance with Hitachi Data Systems in which it would use its 200-plus sales force and 800-plus systems engineers to sell the VCC. We believe this alliance represents a significant endorsement of the VCC product. In March 2000, Hitachi Data Systems announced that it was scaling back its mainframe operations. As a result, this alliance will diminish in importance. Our other products, excluding storage management products, are sold through resellers and strategic arrangements with other companies that have products complementary to ours. The direct sales team and the telemarketing staff sell these other products to allow an entry point to a customer at any level in which the customer may become engaged. In addition, the software-only products may be downloaded from our web-site for free trial for a limited time. Our professional services are sold directly to the customer or through strategic partnerships with such companies as BMC Software. Competition The VCC competes with internal monitoring software, which monitors certain pieces of hardware and software applications in the computer in which such internal software is installed. Annual sales of systems and network management software were estimated to be $17 billion as of December 1998. It is believed this market will grow to almost $26 billion by 2001. Major products and companies in the system and network management industry are as follows:
Product Maker Base Platform ------------- ------------------- ---------------- Net View IBM Mainframe TME IBM/Tivoli Mid-range server Unicenter Computer Associates Mainframe Command/Post Boole & Babbage Mainframe Open View Hewlett-Packard Mid-range server
The majority of the makers listed above are expanding their base focus to include other platforms through partnerships, acquisition or further internal development. In all cases these products use active agents and often take months or years to deploy throughout a company's computer network. The mainframe products of other makers can 4 consolidate from 7 to 16 computer consoles but their architecture does not allow significant console consolidation into one monitor. We believe each of these products requires a significant number of people to install, maintain and to complete the installation due primarily to the invasive nature of the active software agents. Also the ability of these other products to be expanded with the addition of new devices and data center sites repeats the complexity of the initial installation. The VCC and related products are all designed to be initially installed in hours or at most days and to automatically recognize the addition or removal of devices after installation. One VCC can consolidate from two to several hundred devices and our other software products such as Global Watch MVS/SNA can monitor from two to thousands of devices. Each of our products performs at least one of eight functions of the systems and network management market described above. The VCC performs all eight of such functions. Competition for the AlarmPoint product consists of several other products. Those are supplied by companies such as Telamon and Attention. AlarmPoint has positioned itself as the most feature rich tool on the market. We have stratified the product to compete from a powerful entry level product to the sophisticated high end solution. The size of this specific market is somewhat unknown since it is currently measured as part of the overall systems and network management software market. We have positioned ourselves initially in the professional services marketplace as somewhat niche oriented. This has allowed us to carve out a reputation without competing with the large consulting services organizations such as IBM and EDS. As our customer base grows, we believe we will find ourselves competing more head-on with these companies in the future but for now feel we can substantially grow this business in our specific niche. Research and Development Our recent research and development activities have been substantial. Other than the VCC and the Global Watch MVS/SNA products, all of our products were developed in 1998. In addition, we introduced our new E-bus technology for the VCC in 1998. In 1999, we introduced single E-bus units that can be used to connect up to five devices per unit and allow remote access from a primary VCC unit via a customer's LAN or WAN. The single E-bus allows economic access of the VCC technology to any company with widely dispersed devices that tie into a central VCC in another location. Retail organizations with numerous devices dispersed across a wide geographic and computer outsourcers can economically achieve full operational control over the dispersed devices and keep operating expertise centrally located. The GlobalWatch MVS/SNA will be re-introduced using the TCP/IP communications protocol and the ability to link management information from mainframes and UNIX workstations. This will bring the functionality of GlobalWatch to additional platforms. See also "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -Recent Developments." Item 2. Description of Property.

Warrants with respect to 26,760 of the 80,000 shares are callable by the Company upon the occurrence of certain conditions set forth in the warrants. Warrants with respect to the remaining 53,240 shares are noncallable. The Company paid in full the balance due under the note as of November 30, 1999. March Common Stock Offering. In March 1999, the Company began a --------------------------- private placement of common stock at a purchase price of $5.625 per share. The Company completed this private placement on May 12, 1999. A total of 265,000 shares were sold for total gross proceeds of $1,491,875. Aethlon Capital acted as the placement agent. The Company paid the placement agent a cash commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds and reimbursed the agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the offering. The Company also issued to the agent a warrant to purchase up to 26,522 shares of the common stock sold in the offering at an exercise price of $5.625 per share. The common stock sold in this offering was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act. March Note Offering. On March 9, 1999, the Company issued to an ------------------- accredited investor a $100,000 note bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum, convertible into common stock at $5.00 per share, and subordinate to current and future debt issued by the Company. The note matured on September 9, 1999. The note was converted into 25,000 shares of common stock in December 1999. The issuance of the note was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the common stock issued upon conversion of the note was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. 6 March Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Offering. On March 25, --------------------------------------------------- 1999, the Company issued 1,600 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Stock") to certain accredited investors in a private offering for total gross proceeds of $1,600,000. In connection with the offering, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase up to 20,000 shares of common stock. Settondown Capital International Ltd., the placement agent used in connection with the offering, received 75 shares of Series C Stock and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 20,000 shares of common stock, in addition to $96,000 in fees for costs incurred in connection with the offering, including legal fees. On January 19, 2000, the holders of the Series C stock and the foregoing warrants exchanged their Series C Stock and warrants for shares of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and new warrants as described below under "Recent Developments-January 19, 2000 Offering of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock." April Acquisition of Breece Hill Technologies, Inc. On April 14, --------------------------------------------------- 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Outstanding Shares") of Breece Hill Technologies, Inc. ("Breece Hill") in connection with the merger of BHT Acquisition, Inc., a subsidiary of GMI, with and into Breece Hill. Breece Hill was the surviving corporation and is now a subsidiary of GMI. In exchange for the cancellation of their Outstanding Shares, holders of such shares received rights to proportionate interests ("Escrow Units") in the merger consideration, which consisted of warrants to purchase a total of 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock and the right to receive an earn out payment based in part on the sales of Breece Hill over the twelve months following the acquisition. This earn out payment will be made, if required under the merger agreement based on Breece Hill's sales, in no more than 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, in the aggregate, and an indeterminate amount of cash. In connection with the acquisition, Breece Hill issued 400,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Hambrecht & Quist Guaranty Finance LLC in exchange for the cancellation of 1,000,000 of debt secured by certain assets of Breece Hill. The preferred stock has a monthly dividend of $10,000 payable in cash and Escrow Units and is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock of the Company. The Company has recorded this preferred stock as a minority interest in Breece Hill. All securities issued in connection with this transaction were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act. On December 27, 1999, the Company approved a formal plan with regard to the disposal of Breece Hill. Accordingly, the estimated loss from the disposal of the Breece Hill segment and the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Breece Hill have been separately presented as discontinued operations, and eliminated from the continuing operations amounts in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. May Note Offering. On May 7, 1999, the Company issued convertible ----------------- notes payable to two accredited investors in the aggregate principal amount of $167,372.

The Company also issued to the agent a warrant to purchase up to 10% of the number of shares of the common stock sold in the offering at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The shares and warrant were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act. August Warrant Offering. On August 6 and again on September 30, 1999, ----------------------- the Company rescheduled the principal payment of $250,000 of a $500,000 note payable to certain partners in the investment firm of Andersen, Weinroth & Co., which originally was due on July 31, 1999. The due date of this payment was extended to November 30, 1999, and was paid in full by the Company by such date. In connection with these reschedulings, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.40 per 7 share to Andersen, Weinroth. These warrants have a term of five years and were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. August Common Stock Offering. On August 26, 1999, the Company issued ---------------------------- 238,000 shares of common stock to Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc. ("Liviakis") in exchange for an agreement by Liviakis to perform public relations work for the Company. An additional 20,000 shares of common stock were issued to The Geneva Group, Inc. to perform public relations work for the Company in Europe. The Liviakis agreement was amended as of November 17, 1999 to extend its term through April 1, 2001. The Company issued an additional 390,000 shares of common stock to Liviakis in consideration for extension of the term. Pursuant to the agreement, Liviakis agreed to a lock-up of the shares until the expiration of the term of the consultancy. The foregoing shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. September Asset Purchase from Lavenir Technology, Inc. On September 28, ------------------------------------------------------ 1999, the Company, through GMI, purchased substantially all the assets of Lavenir Technology, Inc., a California corporation ("Lavenir"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Purchase Agreement") by and among the Company, GMI and Lavenir. The total purchase price of $5,300,000 was paid in 266,000 shares of the Company's common stock delivered to Lavenir at closing, and $400,000 in the form of a note payable due on January 31, 2000. In November 1999, the $400,000 note was re-negotiated to a $100,000 note payable due January 31, 2000 in return for 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. A number of additional shares of common stock not to exceed 700,000 are issuable as of April 30, 2000 sufficient to cause the value of the shares and debt previously issued and the original $400,000 liability to total $5,300,000 as of April 30, 2000.

In addition to purchasing substantially all of the assets of Lavenir (including rights under and to Lavenir's computer software products and the trademarks and copyrights related thereto), the Company assumed certain liabilities of Lavenir, including Lavenir's ongoing leases, debt and contract obligations. The primary assets acquired by the Company were a suite of CAD/CAM software products which provide the ability to design, test, verify and repair precision graphics designs. This software is sold independently or with Raster Photoplotters, sophisticated hardware products used to build master printed circuit boards. November Common Stock Offering. On November 30, 1999, in a transaction ------------------------------- separate from the consulting agreement referenced above under "August Common Stock Offering," the Company issued to John and Renee Liviakis 125,000 shares of common stock for $500,000. The parties agreed to a lock-up of the shares for the same period as the lock-up referenced under "August Common Stock Offering" above. The shares issued in this transaction were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. November Note Offering. On November 12, 1999, the Company issued a ---------------------- convertible note in the amount of $300,000 in connection with the Company's anticipated offering of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The note was convertible into the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share. See "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Recent Developments-January 19, 2000 Offering of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock." The note was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. December Series E Convertible Preferred Stock Offering. On December 30, ------------------------------------------------------- 1999, the Company issued 2,650 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series E Stock") and warrants to purchase 51,000 shares of common stock in a private placement for consideration totaling $2,650,000. Each share of Series E Stock is convertible into the number of shares of common stock calculated by dividing the per share purchase price of $1,000 by the conversion price. The conversion price equals the lesser of $5.125 or 75% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 15 trading days immediately before the conversion date. The holders of Series E Stock are also entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the per share purchase price. The dividends are payable upon conversion of the Series E Stock, in either cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable as a dividend payment will equal the 8 total dividend payment then due divided by the conversion price calculated as of the date that the dividend payment is due. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase common stock at $5.125 per share at any time before the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the warrant. All securities issued in connection with this transaction were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations The consolidated financial statements that accompany this discussion show the operating results from continuing operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. These results include the operations of GMI and its subsidiaries. Net sales from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $9,831,000 compared to net sales of $6,209,000 in the year ended December 31, 1998. Systems sales were $2,876,000 in 1999 compared to $4,246,000 in 1998. The decrease in systems sales in 1999 is primarily due to reduced sales of VCC systems. Maintenance fees on previously sold systems were $1,299,000 and consulting fees were $3,458,000 in 1999. Maintenance and consulting fees in 1998 were $948,000 and $704,000, respectively. The increase in maintenance fees in 1999 is related to fees on new products in 1999. The increase in consulting fees in 1999 is due to the increased consulting fees earned by the Company's SSI subsidiary acquired in November 1998. Other revenues in 1999 of $2,199,000 include primarily software product sales which increased significantly over 1998 due to inclusion of SSI and the printed circuit board division sales for the full year 1999. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 36.9% in the year ended December 31, 1999 from 37.4% in the prior year. This decrease is primarily related to higher consulting fees in 1999. The amortization of software development costs was $1,916,000 in 1999 compared to $957,000 in 1998. The materials component of sales, which is related to sales volume, also decreased in 1999 as a percentage of sales compared to 1998. Cost of sales for 1999 includes $210,000 for writedown of inventory, primarily VCC component parts. Gross margin from continuing operations in 1999 was 63.1% compared to 62.6% in 1998. Selling, general and administrative costs from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $12,855,000 compared to $4,414,000 for 1998. The year-over-year increase of $8,441,000 is related to non-cash equity transactions and to acquisitions. In 1999 the Company recorded $2,850,000 as non-cash equity expenses for issuance of 648,000 shares of common stock for a financial investment advisory program begun on August 30, 1999 and extending into April 2001. The terms of the contract under which these shares were issued require the Company to reflect this cost at the start of the program. The Company does not expect to incur any significant cash expenditures for this program, which was not in force in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to Lavenir, which was acquired on September 29, 1999, were $628,000 and selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to acquisitions made during 1998 increased $4,022,000 over the prior year as a result of including such operations for the full year in 1999. Expense categories with significant increases are legal, accounting, rent and advertising. The increases in legal and accounting are related to the amount of financing and acquisition activities of the Company in 1999. Rent increased as a result of the additional space requirements of the Company for which multiple year commitments were made during 1998. The increase in advertising expenses is consistent with the additional products the Company sells and the development of materials for distribution to potential customers. In the fourth quarter of 1999 the Company took action to reduce expenses in its VCC business, primarily in the software development function, and reduced headcount by approximately 20 from a total of 40 in the VCC and corporate administration areas. Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 1999 were approximately $2,830,000 compared to $1,291,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase of $1,539,000 in 1999 is primarily due to the amortization of purchased technology and partially due to the increased number of employees devoted to the development function in the first nine months of the year. Other operating expenses of $5,442,000 in 1999 consist of restructuring charges for writedowns of capitalized software development costs, purchased technology and equipment. In the fourth quarter of 1999 the Company determined that capitalized development costs with a net book value of $1,938,000 would not be 9 recoverable due to the Company's decision to use different tools and techniques in future development. The Company also entered into settlement discussions with Infinite Graphics Incorporated ("IGI") to transfer back to IGI certain assets previously acquired and resolve mutual claims; this resulted in the Company recording a charge of $2,470,000, primarily for the writeoff of purchased technology. Equipment writedowns were due to staffing reductions in the fourth quarter that reduced the need for research and development equipment. Other income and expenses in the year ended December 31, 1999 consisted of interest expense, interest income and expenses related to issuance of debt and equity. The increased interest expense is due to the higher debt level during 1999; notes payable were $5,458,000 as of December 31, 1999 compared to $2,295,000 as of December 31, 1998. Other expense for 1999 includes non-cash interest expense of approximately $768,000 for penalty interest related to the delay in registration of the underlying common stock into which Series B Stock and Series C Stock is convertible and approximately $1,658,000 for the intrinsic value of warrants issued to lenders. In 1999 other expense also includes approximately $412,000 for amortization and writeoff of debt issuance costs. The majority of interest income in 1998 is primarily due to lease income where the Company has acted as lessor of its VCC systems. No such lease activities occurred in 1999. Loss from discontinued operations was $4,410,000 and loss on disposal of discontinued operations was $16,357,000 in 1999. These amounts relate to the Company's decision to sell its Breece Hill subsidiary, which was acquired in April 1999. The Company determined that Breece Hill would require additional capital funding and decided to sell Breece Hill to focus capital resources on its core systems and software products and services businesses. The loss from discontinued operations includes $2,920,000 of amortization of purchased technology. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 1999, the Company had negative working capital of $17,438,000 compared to positive working capital of $2,068,000 as of December 31, 1998. The decrease is related primarily to higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including $7,265,000 for acquisition-related obligations which are expected to convert to equity or be released according to agreements executed or expected to be executed in the year 2000. In addition, liabilities include $5,300,000 for the discontinued operations of Breece Hill and notes payable of $5,390,000 classified as current due to the Company operating under a workout arrangement with its primary secured lender. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $1,189,000 compared to $1,283,000 used by such activities in the year ended December 31, 1998. The major adjustments to reconcile the 1999 net loss of $38,897,000 to the net cash used in operating activities were the loss from discontinued operations of $4,410,000 and the loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $16,357,000, both of which relate to the Company's decision to sell its Breece Hill subsidiary. In 1999 the Company had a writedown of assets totaling $5,441,000 and issued equity instruments for services and payments of interest totaling $3,001,000. Depreciation and amortization was $6,419,000 in 1999 compared to $1,611,000 in 1998. With respect to operating assets, cash of $634,000 was used to increase accounts receivable and prepaid expenses in 1999 and cash of approximately $2,850,000 was provided by increases in current liability accounts, primarily accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash used by investing activities in the year ended December 31, 1999 was $6,801,000 and reflects purchases of property and equipment of $443,000, investment in software development of $2,691,000 and purchases of companies of $3,587,000. The investment in software development for 1999 represents costs incurred after technological feasibility has been established in connection with the development of enhancements to one or more particular software programs occurring in the first nine months of the Company's fiscal year. In the last quarter of fiscal year 1999 the Company decided to change the direction in its software development program. Such costs were significantly curtailed and $1,938,000 of such costs were written off as noted above. The investment in property and equipment in 1999 also occurred substantially in the first nine months of the year. In 1998 the Company invested approximately $2,052,000 in capitalized computer software development, $1,076,000 in property and equipment and $1,277,000 in purchases of companies which was partially offset by cash received from the sale of sales-type leases and the collection of a note receivable. Net cash of approximately $9,498,000 was provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 1999. This reflects gross proceeds before expenses from the issuance of preferred stock of approximately $3,862,000 through the issuance of Series C Stock and Series E Stock. Cash was also provided by the issuance of common stock, primarily from private placements of $2,637,000. Proceeds were received from the issuance of long-term debt 10 in the amount of $4,311,000, with such proceeds partially offset by the disbursement for deferred debt costs of $139,000. In 1999 payments on long-term debt were $1,232,000. In the year ended December 31, 1998 cash was provided by the issuance of $3,673,000 of Preferred and Common Stock and the issuance of debt in the net amount of $150,000. Presently, with the issuance after December 31, 1999 of additional convertible preferred stock of approximately $2,700,000 and the sale of the Lavenir software assets anticipated in May or June 2000, with expected proceeds of $2,900,000, the Company believes that it has sufficient working capital to pay its current liabilities. The Company expects that its Breece Hill subsidiary will not be a substantial drain on the cash resources of the Company and believes Breece Hill will be sold sometime during the year 2000. In addition to the proceeds received from the issuance of equity and the sale of Lavenir assets discussed above, the Company believes its working capital will improve as the Company's profitability improves. The Company expects its profitability to improve as a result of further increases in sales and the expense reduction programs implemented during fourth quarter 1999. Nevertheless, the Company can provide no assurance as to its future profitability, access to the capital markets nor the completion of its projected asset and business sales. Recent Developments Proposed Sale of Breece Hill On February 3, 2000, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Tandberg Data ASA of Oslo, Norway ("Tandberg"), GMI, Hambrecht & Quist Guaranty Finance LLC, Greyrock Capital and Cruttenden Roth, Incorporated, pursuant to which Tandberg would purchase the Company's Breece Hill subsidiary. The closing of the transaction is subject to, among other things, approval by both the Company's and Tandberg's shareholders. The Company's shareholders approved the transaction at a special meeting held on April 5, 2000. Tandberg has informed the Company that it does not believe the transaction will be approved by Tandberg's shareholders, and has suggested that the parties terminate the agreement. The Company has advised Tandberg that it continues to desire to close the transaction. The parties are currently discussing the appropriate course of action to pursue. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, if the transaction were consummated: . the Company would sell all of the common stock of Breece Hill to Tandberg in exchange for $3.4 million in cash, less transaction costs and holdbacks; . Tandberg would assume or repay approximately $6.1 million in additional liabilities of Breece Hill; . the Company and GMI would be released from their obligations with respect to approximately $5.7 million of debt to be prepaid by Tandberg at the closing; . holders of Breece Hill Series B preferred stock would receive up to $1 million in cash in the aggregate; . former holders of Breece Hill Series A preferred stock at the time of the acquisition of Breece Hill by GMI (the "Former BH Series A Holders") would receive up to approximately $1.5 million in cash in the aggregate; . former holders of Breece Hill common stock at the time of the acquisition of Breece Hill by GMI (the "Former BH Common Holders") would receive warrants to purchase up to 5,091,160 ordinary shares of Tandberg at a price of 30 Norwegian Kroner, up to 518,225 shares of the Company's common stock in the aggregate and warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the aggregate; and . the Former BH Series A Holders and the Former BH Common Holders would release any claims they may have against the Company, GMI, Breece Hill or Tandberg, except for certain claims against the Company and GMI related to the Company's obligation to issue options under the merger agreement between Breece Hill and GMI. 11 Listing on Nasdaq SmallCap Market By letter dated April 19, 2000 Nasdaq notified the Company that Nasdaq had closed the Company's application for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. In its letter, Nasdaq explained that it had closed the Company's application because the Company's share price had fallen below $4.00 (the minimum closing bid price required for initial inclusion in the SmallCap Market). In addition, Nasdaq noted that the Company did not file this Annual Report in a timely manner. The Company has filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 which would have resulted in this Annual Report being considered timely if filed on or before April 14, 2000, but because of the complexities of the Company's operations,acquisitions and discontinued operations, the Company's financial statements were not finalized until after that date. The Company expects to reapply for listing on the SmallCap Market as soon as it meets the SmallCap Market's requirements for initial inclusion. Settlement of VCC Litigation On February 15, 2000, the Company and GMI were served with a patent infringement suit filed in the federal district court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. The suit alleged, among other things, that the Company's VCC product, when monitoring a mainframe computer, infringed on a patent held by the plaintiffs, IDG, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, and R. Brent Johnson. The Company believed that the plaintiffs' claims were without merit, but settled the claims on March 16, 2000, in order to avoid potentially protracted and costly litigation. Increase in Authorized Number of Shares of Capital Stock On February 3, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Amendment") to increase the authorized capital stock of the Company to 18,500,000 shares from the 10,711,724 shares currently authorized, subject to approval by the shareholders. The shareholders approved the Amendment at a Special Meeting held on April 5, 2000. The Amendment will permit the Company to meet its obligations to issue shares under existing agreements and give the Board the flexibility to declare stock dividends at such times as it may deem appropriate, make acquisitions using stock, raise equity capital or use the additional shares for other general corporate purposes. Sale of Lavenir Software Operations On March 24, 2000, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell the software operations of its wholly owned Lavenir subsidiary. The sale is to a publicly traded international company that is a leading independent producer of desktop electronic design automation (EDA) software for the Microsoft Windows environment. The letter of intent provides for a gross purchase price of approximately $4,000,000 with $2,900,000 net in cash. The difference of $1,100,000 is based on the licensing back of the software to enable Lavenir to continue to use this software in its remaining products and markets. Asset Sale to MT Acquiring Corp. The Company, GMI, and Magnum Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GMI ("Magnum"), sold all of the business and properties used by GMI in connection with its business conducted under the Magnum name pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale of Assets made as of January 26, 2000 by and among MT Acquiring Corp., Tim Hadden, Greg Crow, GMI, Magnum and the Company. In the sale, MT Acquiring Corp. received properties and three software products used to provide network monitoring and analysis services: CAP-TREND, Coordinator and Advantage. MT Acquiring Corp. and it principals, Tim Hadden and Greg Crow, also received a release from GMI, Magnum and the Company for all claims arising out of the association of MT Acquiring Corp.'s principals with GMI, Magnum and the Company. In exchange for the foregoing, MT Acquiring Corp. and its principals released all claims against the Company, GMI and Magnum relating to the parties' activities before January 26, 2000, assumed various obligations and contracts related to the business, and delivered a subordinated promissory note payable to the Company in the amount of $214,000. The note bears interest at six percent annually and provides for four semi-annual payments of principal and interest from the date of the note until its maturity date of December 30, 2001. 12 Proposed Settlement Agreement with IGI The Company has signed a letter of intent and is currently negotiating the transfer of certain assets and the termination of various software licenses under a proposed settlement agreement between the Company and IGI. The Company acquired the assets and licenses under a February 27, 1998 License and Asset Purchase Agreement with IGI. The assets to be transferred would include those used by GMI in designing, assembling and marketing computer-aided design and manufacturing software systems that operate on a variety of mid-range and personal computer platforms. The terminated licenses would include an exclusive software license of software products used in the business and a non-exclusive license of software used in both the Company's business and IGI's business. The transfer and termination would be made in exchange for IGI's assumption of specific contracts and liabilities related to the assets and for mutual release of all claims arising from the License and Asset Purchase Agreement, including IGI's release of payment obligations of the Company. Sale of Assets Acquired from Asset Sentinel, Inc. Effective March 31, 2000 the Company amended the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of October 1, 1998 by and among the Company, GMI, and Asset Sentinel, Inc. ("ASI"), in which the assets of ASI were purchased by GMI. Pursuant to the amendment, the assets were returned to ASI. ASI also received a release from GMI and the Company for all claims arising out of the association of ASI with GMI and the Company. In exchange for the foregoing, ASI released all claims it might have against the Company and GMI relating to the parties' activities before March 31, 2000 and assumed various obligations and contracts related to the assets transferred. January 19, 2000 Offering of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 19, 2000, the Company issued 2,725 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Stock") in a private placement. The shares were issued as follows: (1) 700 shares to new investors for $700,000 in the aggregate; (2) 300 shares to certain investors upon conversion of $300,000 of convertible promissory notes issued by the Company on November 12, 1999, (3) 1,600 shares to the holders of the Company's then outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Stock") in exchange for all of their Series C Stock; and (4) 125 shares to the placement agent as compensation for placement agent services. In addition, in connection with the Series D Stock offering (1) the holders of warrants issued in the Series C Stock offering were issued warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the warrants issued to them in the Series C Stock offering. The Company also issued 30,000 shares of common stock to the new investors and 120,000 shares of common stock to the holders of the Series C Stock. Each share of Series D Stock is convertible into the number of shares of common stock calculated by dividing the stated value of such share ($1,000) by the conversion price. The conversion price equals the lesser of 75% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 15 trading days immediately before the conversion date or $5.4375. Holders of Series D Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the per share purchase price. The dividends are payable, upon conversion of the Series D Stock, in either cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable as a dividend payment will equal the total dividend payment then due divided by the conversion price calculated as of the date that the dividend payment is due. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase common stock at $8.30 per share at any time before the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the warrant. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series D Stock and the warrants and to pay a penalty if such registration is not effective by the 120th day after issuance of the Series D Stock. This penalty is equal to 2% of the purchase price of the Series D Stock for the first 30-day period following such 120-day period and 3% of such purchase price for every 30-day period thereafter until the registration statement has been declared effective. The shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. February 23, 2000 Offering of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. On February 23, 2000, the Company issued 2,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series F Stock") to certain accredited investors in a private offering. In connection with the offering, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock. The holders of Series F Stock are not entitled to vote except in the event the Company desires to issue shares of a class or series of preferred stock which 13 could adversely affect the rights of such holders, or as may otherwise be required by law. The holders of Series F Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the stated value ($1,000) of the Series F Stock, subject to the prior declaration or payment of any dividend to which the holders of the Company's Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series D Stock or Series E Stock are entitled. Dividends on shares of the Series F Stock are cumulative and are payable only upon conversion of the Series F Stock. Each share of Series F Stock is convertible at any time into that number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value of each such share ($1,000) divided by the lesser of $6.75 or 75% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. All outstanding shares of Series F Stock will be automatically converted into common stock on February 23, 2002. Each warrant is callable, and has a five-year term and an exercise price of $11.00 per share. The Company agreed to file a registration statement with regard to sales of the common stock underlying the Series F Stock and the warrants and to pay a penalty if such registration statement is not effective by the 120th day after issuance of the Series F Stock. This penalty is equal to 2% of the purchase price of the Series E Stock for the first 30-day period following such 120-day period and 3% of such purchase price for every 30-day period thereafter until the registration statement has been declared effective. The foregoing shares and warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act. 14 Item 7. Financial Statements. Index to Consolidated Financial Statements Page ---- Independent Auditors' Report 16 Consolidated balance sheets 17 Consolidated statements of operations 19 Consolidated statements of stockholders' equity (deficit) 20 Consolidated statements of cash flows 21 Notes to consolidated financial statements 22 15 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Global MAINTECH Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global MAINTECH Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global MAINTECH Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit that 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 1999, the Company changed its method of accounting for depreciation. /s/ KPMG LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota April 14, 2000 16 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of business: The Company, through its subsidiaries, Global MAINTECH, Inc. ("GMI") and Singlepoint Systems, Inc. ("SSI"), supplies world class systems and services to data centers; manufactures and sells event notification software and provides professional services to help customers implement enterprise management solutions; and manufactures and sells printed circuit board design software and plotters. As further discussed in Note 3, the Company's Breece Hill Technologies, Inc. ("BHT") subsidiary, which was acquired in April 1999 and formerly represented the Company's tape library storage products segment, is presented as a discontinued operation. Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global MAINTECH Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. New accounting pronouncements: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," (as amended by SFAS No. 137 with respect to the effective date) will be effective for the Company in January 2001. SFAS 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and to be measured at fair value on a mark-to-market basis. This applies whether the derivatives are stand-alone instruments, such as forward currency exchange contracts, or embedded derivatives, such as call options contained in convertible debt instruments. Along with the derivatives, the underlying hedged items are also to be marked-to-market on an ongoing basis. These market value adjustments are to be included either in net earnings or loss in the statement of operations or in other comprehensive income (and accumulated in stockholders' equity), depending on the nature of the transaction. The Company is currently reviewing the potential impact of this accounting standard. In December 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101, as amended by SAB 101A, summarizes certain views of the SEC staff in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. Certain aspects of SAB 101 relate to the timing of recognition of revenue and certain expenses with respect to arrangements that involve the receipt of nonrefundable up-front fees. SAB 101 requires that in particular situations the nonrefundable fees and certain associated expenses be recognized over the contractual terms or average life of the underlying arrangement. SAB 101 will be effective for the Company in the second quarter of 2000. The Company does not expect SAB 101 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation. Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Inventory: Inventory is stated on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis at the lower of cost or market. Property and equipment and change in depreciation method: Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is comprised primarily of computer and office equipment. Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the straight-line method of depreciation. Previously the Company used the double declining balance method. The Company changed its method based on an evaluation by management which indicated that the property and equipment does not depreciate on an accelerated basis during its early years, is not subject to significant additional maintenance in the later years of the assigned useful life and that the new method results in a better matching of revenues and expenses. The effect of the change in depreciation method in 1999 was applied retroactively to property and equipment acquisitions of prior years. The cumulative effect of the change with respect to the retroactive application of the straight-line method was $231,936 (or $0.0544 per diluted common share) and is included in the Company's 1999 net loss. 22 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma amounts assuming the new depreciation method had been applied retroactively (rather than cumulatively in 1999) are as follows:
Years Ended December 31, 1999 1998 ------------------ ------------------ Loss from continuing operations $ (18,362,710) $ (1,792,108) Net loss (38,979,851) (1,748,442) Basic loss per common share: Loss from continuing operations $ (4.944) $ (0.586) Net loss (9.782) (0.574) Diluted loss per common share: Loss from continuing operations $ (4.944) $ (0.586) Net loss (9.782) (0.574)
Depreciation is provided based upon useful lives of the respective assets, which generally have lives of three years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Revenue recognition: Revenue from product sales is recognized upon the latter of shipment or final acceptance. Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company receives customer payments before shipment and/or acceptance or before maintenance and/or service revenues are earned. Under Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" (as amended by SOP 98-4 and 98-9), the Company recognizes revenue from software sales when the software has been delivered (delivery is deemed to have occurred upon the latter of shipment or final acceptance), if a signed contract exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of resulting receivables is probable, and product returns are reasonably estimable. Maintenance and support fees related to software sales including product upgrade rights (when and if available) committed as part of new product licenses and maintenance resulting from renewed maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the contract period. Professional service revenue is recognized when services are performed. Revenues related to multiple element arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of such elements. The determination of fair value is based on vendor specific objective evidence. If such evidence of fair value for each element (or the aggregate of the undelivered elements as allowed by SOP 98-9) does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such time that, for applicable elements of the arrangement, evidence of fair value does exist or until such elements are delivered. The Company recognizes revenue from leasing activities in accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. Accordingly, leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are accounted for as sales-type leases. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases. Under the sales-type method, profit is recognized at lease inception by recording revenue and cost. Revenue consists of the present value of the future minimum lease payments discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Cost consists of the equipment's book value. The present value of the estimated value of the equipment at lease termination (the residual value), which is generally not material, and the present value of the future minimum lease payments are recorded as assets. In each period, interest income is recognized as a percentage return on asset carrying values. The Company is the lessor of equipment under operating leases expiring in various years. The cost of equipment subject to such leases is recorded as leased equipment and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated service life of the equipment. Operating lease revenue is recognized as earned over the term of the underlying lease. 23 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capitalized software development costs: Under the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technology. Capitalized software development costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the software not to exceed three years. The carrying value of software development assets is regularly reviewed by the Company and a loss is recognized when the unamortized costs are deemed unrecoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software. Purchased technology and other intangibles: The Company has recorded the excess of purchase price over net tangible assets as purchased technology and customer lists based on the fair value of these intangibles at the date of purchase. These assets are amortized over their estimated economic lives of three to five years using the straight-line method. Recorded amounts for purchased technology are regularly reviewed and recoverability assessed. The review considers factors such as whether the amortization of these capitalized amounts can be recovered through forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Other assets: Other assets is comprised of patents and capitalized debt issuance costs. Patents are stated at cost and are amortized over three years or over the useful life using the straight-line method. Capitalized debt issuance costs are stated at cost and are amortized over the term of the related debt agreement. Recorded amounts for patents are regularly reviewed and recoverability assessed. The review considers factors such as whether the amortization of these capitalized amounts can be recovered through forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Research and development: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Stock based compensation: The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans. Reverse stock split: On September 2, 1999, the Company effected a reverse stock split of one share of the Company's Common Stock for each five shares of such Common Stock and effected a reverse stock split of one share of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for each five shares of such Series B Stock. As a result of these stock splits, certain conversion prices in regards to preferred stock were also adjusted. The effect of these stock splits and related conversion price changes on share and per share amounts has been retroactively reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Loss per common share: Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is determined by increasing net loss by the accrual of dividends on preferred stock for the respective period and by the value of any embedded beneficial conversion feature present in issuances of preferred stock attributable to the respective period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus shares derived from other potentially dilutive securities. For the Company, potentially dilutive securities include (a) "in- the-money" stock options and warrants, 24 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (b) the amount of weighted average common shares which would be added by the conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock and convertible debt, (c) the number of weighted average common shares which would be added upon the satisfaction of certain conditions with respect to arrangements involving contingently issuable shares, and (d) the number of weighted average common shares that may be issued subject to contractual arrangements entered into by the Company that may be settled in common stock or in cash at the election of either the Company or the holder. During 1999 and 1998, potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the diluted loss per common share computation as their effect was antidilutive. The weighted average numbers of antidilutive option and warrant shares excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share were the following for 1999 and 1998:
Years Ended December 31, 1999 1998 --------- ------- Weighted average antidilutive option shares 1,402,200 888,785 Weighted average antidilutive warrant shares 1,498,820 423,044
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the numbers of common shares issuable (and excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share) upon conversion of the then outstanding preferred shares and convertible debt were the following:
December 31, 1999 1998 ------- ------- Number of common shares issuable upon conversion of: Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 17,379 25,835 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 352,529 400,835 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock 460,348 - Series E Convertible Preferred Stock 686,170 - Number of common shares with respect to convertible debt 521,504 -
In addition to the above convertible securities, at December 31, 1999 400,000 shares of the Company's BHT subsidiary's Series B Preferred Stock was outstanding (see Note 3). Such shares were convertible to 80,000 shares of the of Company's common stock. Similar to the items discussed above, such shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. At December 31, 1999, there were contingently issuable shares with respect to the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Lavenir Technology, Inc. (see Note 7). The parties to the agreement agreed to determine the settlement of these shares as of March 31, 2000. As a result, 404,085 shares will be issued to the Lavenir Technology, Inc. in April 2000. At December 31, 1998, there were no arrangements in effect that involved contingently issuable shares. Contingently issuable shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share in 1999 and 1998 because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The Company is a party to a number of arrangements that may be settled in common stock or in cash at the election of either the Company or the other party to the arrangement as stipulated in such contracts. These contractual arrangements include accrued dividends with respect to the Company's preferred stock, a minimum earnout payment related to certain assets acquired from Enterprise Solutions, Inc. (see Note 7), and various other contractual arrangements. The settlement of such contractual obligations, if sought by either party through the issuance of common shares, would have required 1,202,289 and 6,523 shares as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 25 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share in 1999 and 1998 because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Income taxes: Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method for temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Fair value of financial instruments: All financial instruments are carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair values. Reclassifications: Certain amounts previously reported in 1998 have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Note 2. Continuation as a Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $14,920,021. At December 31, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficit of $17,437,847 and an stockholders' deficit of $2,963,431. In addition, in December 1999, the Company approved a plan to dispose its Breece Hill Technologies, Inc. subsidiary, for which the Company recorded an estimated loss on disposal of $16,356,792 and a loss from discontinued operations of $4,409,727 during 1999 (see Note 3). The Company is also not in compliance with respect to certain borrowing arrangements as discussed in Note 8. The Company is currently in negotiation to resolve approximately $7,300,000 of current liabilities included in the Company's December 31, 1999 consolidated financial statements by issuance of equity securities for certain acquisition earnout obligations. The completion of the disposal of BHT and resolution of earnout liabilities will aid in alleviating the Company's December 31, 1999 working capital deficit. In January and February 2000, the Company issued Series D and F Convertible Preferred Stock with combined gross proceeds of $2,700,000 (see Note 14). Furthermore, during the last fiscal quarter of 1999 the Company appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and other executive management who took action to reduce future operating expenses in an effort to improve operating margins in 2000. In the first fiscal quarter of 2000 the Company implemented additional budgetary controls and established performance criteria to monitor expenses and improve financial performance. In addition, the Company expects that the cash proceeds from the sale of the Lavenir software rights will provide additional working capital. The Company also expects to reach a satisfactory extension of its borrowing arrangements with its primary secured lender. These actions are significant and their impact on further results is uncertain as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the ability of the Company to attract additional capital if events do not occur as expected by the Company is uncertain. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to improve operating margins and believes in its financial plan to improve the Company's working capital position, there can be no assurances to that effect. 26 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 3. Discontinued Operations--Breece Hill Technologies, Inc. On December 27, 1999, the Company approved a formal plan with regards to the disposal of its Breece Hill Technologies, Inc. subsidiary, which was acquired on April 14, 1999 and which formerly represented the Company's tape storage products business segment. Accordingly, the estimated loss from the disposal of this segment and the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of BHT have been separately presented as discontinued operations, and eliminated from the continuing operations amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Acquisition of BHT during 1999: The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of BHT (the "Outstanding Shares") in connection with a merger with BHT which was effective in April 1999. Under the terms of the merger, in exchange for the cancellation of their Outstanding Shares, holders of such shares received rights to proportionate interests in the merger consideration, which consisted of warrants to purchase a total of 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $7.50 per share and the right to receive an earnout payment based in part on BHT's sales over the twelve months following the acquisition. In addition, in conjunction with the acquisition of BHT, the Company issued options to purchase 300,000 of the Company's common stock at $17.73 per share to employees of BHT in exchange for options such employees had to purchase shares of BHT and warrants to purchase 290,488 shares of the Company's common stock at $20.63 per share to certain creditors of BHT in exchange for warrants such creditors had to purchase shares of BHT. This merger was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The Company issued 45,000 shares of its common stock and issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares and 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $9.00 per and $10.00 per share, respectively, in return for services provided with respect to the BHT acquisition. In addition, the Company incurred $291,175 in other legal, accounting, and other costs associated with the acquisition. Based upon the findings of an independent valuation firm, the total valuation in excess of the book value acquired with respect to BHT was $18,663,448 and was comprised of the fair value of the warrants, options, and common stock issued in connection with the merger, as described above, of $11,960,782; liabilities assumed in excess of the book value of assets received in the amount of $6,411,491; and $291,175 in various legal, accounting and other costs associated with the acquisition. The fair value of options and warrants issued in connection with the merger was determined by use of a Black-Scholes valuation model, considering the following assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, risk- free interest rate of 5.5%, volatility of 112%, and expected option and warrant lives of four to five years. After the Company's allocation of amounts to the fair value of asset and liabilities received, $18,063,194 was assigned to intangible assets as a result of the merger with BHT. In connection with the BHT merger, the BHT subsidiary issued 400,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Hambrecht & Quist Guaranty Fund LLP in exchange for a reduction of $1,000,000 of debt secured by certain assets of BHT. The Company recorded the BHT preferred stock issued as a BHT minority interest. Discontinued operations treatment of BHT: As a result of the Company approving a formal plan with regards to the disposal of BHT on December 27, 1999, the Company reported BHT's financial position, results of operations and estimated loss on disposal as discontinued operations. The BHT business segment consisted of net liabilities of $5,300,000 as of December 31, 1999. This balance included assets comprised of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets and other assets amounting to $13,362,061 after deducting an allowance for the write-off of certain intangible assets. These assets were offset by liabilities totaling $18,662,061 which included estimated operating losses to the disposal date and accrual of the earnout consideration totaling $6,800,000, debt and other liabilities. 27 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loss from operations of BHT from the period of acquisition by the Company (April 1999) through the discontinued operations measurement date (December 27, 1999) of $4,409,727 reflects net sales of $24,953,139. The estimated loss on disposal of BHT of $16,356,792 assumes the write-off of intangible assets of $9,556,792 and estimated operating losses from the measurement date to the anticipated disposal date of $6,800,000 The estimated operating losses include an estimated charge related to the immediate write-off of any intangible asset resulting from the payment in 2000 of contingent consideration that would be required under the original acquisition agreement.

Note 7. Acquisitions Lavenir assets and liabilities: On September 29, 1999, the Company, through its GMI subsidiary, purchased substantially all the assets and rights to certain hardware and software products, trademarks and copyrights of Lavenir Technology, Inc., a California corporation ("Lavenir"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Lavenir Agreement") by and among the Company, GMI and Lavenir. Subject to the Lavenir Agreement, the Company also assumed certain liabilities of Lavenir, including Lavenir's outstanding debt, ongoing leases, and contract obligations. The assets and rights acquired relate primarily to a suite of CAD/CAM software and certain hardware products sold for use in the printed circuit board industry. 29 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under the terms of the Lavenir Agreement, the total purchase price of $5,300,000 is comprised of the following: (a) 266,000 shares of the Company's common stock initially paid to Lavenir on the closing date, (b) $400,000 originally in the form of a payable due on January 31, 2000, and (c) additional shares of the Company's common stock issuable as of March 31, 2000 sufficient to cause the aggregate value of the shares previously issued and the original $400,000 liability to total $5,300,000 as of the March 31, 2000. In November 1999 the Company negotiated the $400,000 liability due on January 31, 2000 to a $100,000 amount due on January 31, 2000 in return for 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued in January 2000. This negotiation of the satisfaction of the original $400,000 liability and related issuance of additional shares of common stock does not impact the number of common shares to be issued in March 2000 as described above. The Company received net assets with a fair value of approximately $315,000 as a result of the Lavenir asset acquisition and allocated the remaining purchase price of $4,985,000 to purchased technology intangible assets with useful lives of three to five years. Subsequent to December 31, 1999, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell substantially all the rights and trademarks with respect to the software used in the printed circuit board industry acquired as described above (See Note 14). The rights, trademarks and copyrights acquired from Lavenir related to hardware used in the printed circuit board industry are not subject to this letter of intent. Singlepoint Limited: On May 27, 1999, the Company, through its SSI subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding stock of Singlepoint Limited ("SSI Ltd"), a distributor of SSI products and services. In return for the SSI Ltd shares, the Company paid $80,000. In addition, under the terms of the related acquisition agreement, the Company is required to pay an earnout payment based upon net income of SSI Ltd for a period subsequent to the acquisition date through April 30, 2000. Through December 31, 1999, no additional earnout amounts have been required with respect to SSI Ltd. The Company recorded the acquisition of SSI Ltd using the purchase method of accounting. The net liabilities in excess of identifiable assets of SSI Ltd as of the acquisition date totaled $115,437. Based upon the $80,000 of consideration paid, the Company recorded an increase in other intangible assets of $195,437 in 1999 as a result of the SSI Ltd acquisition. Enterprise Solutions, Inc. assets and liabilities: On November 1, 1998, the Company, through its SSI subsidiary, purchased certain assets and rights and assumed various liabilities from Enterprise Solutions, Inc. ("ESI"). The net assets and rights acquired relate primarily to items used in manufacturing and selling event notification software and in providing services with respect to the implementation of enterprise management solutions. Total consideration under the terms of the ESI asset purchase agreement (the "ESI Agreement") includes: (a) $200,000 at the close of the transaction, (b) options to purchase 80,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $6.25 per share, (c) additional options to purchase up to 260,000 shares at $6.25 per share based upon the earnings associated with the operations related to the ESI assets acquired (the "SSI Operations") for a period of 18 months following the closing of the acquisition. The options described above would be exercisable for a term of 5 years from the ESI asset acquisition date. In addition, under the ESI Agreement, in the event ESI does not meet certain earnout calculations reaching a minimum of $5,000,000, the Company, at its option, would either pay ESI the difference in cash or common stock of the Company or return the purchased assets and assumed liabilities, as of the date the earnout calculation is made, to ESI. In 1998, based upon the terms described above, the Company recorded SSI Operations acquisition cost equal to $724,000 which was comprised of the $200,000 initial amount plus the fair value of the 80,000 non-contingent options to purchase common stock of the Company of $524,000. The fair value of these option shares was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing methodology based upon the following assumptions: volatility of 112%, dividend rate of 0%, risk free interest rate of 4.5 % and a five-year option life. The fair value of the identifiable assets of the SSI Operations acquired totaled $326,969 and consisted of cash of $57,796, accounts 30 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- receivable of $474,784, property and equipment of $116,324 and current liabilities of $321,935. The Company recorded an intangible asset consisting of purchased technology and customer lists of $397,031 with a useful life of five years as a result of the SSI Operations acquisition. During 1999, the Company pledged the assets of the SSI Operations to secure borrowings of the Company. In addition, based upon the operating results of the SSI Operations, the Company assessed that the criteria surrounding the contingent options to purchase 260,000 shares and the minimum $5,000,000 earnout would be met. Furthermore, the Company began renegotiating the final earnout amount that would be required in excess of the $5,000,000 minimum amount. Negotiations in regards to a final earnout settlement continue. However, during 1999, the Company issued additional options to purchase 240,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $6.25 per share to ESI as an initial partial settlement. The Company recorded an accrued liability related to the $5,000,000 minimum earnout and recorded additional paid-in capital of $2,381,840 related to the fair value of the 500,000 option shares determined by use of a Black-Scholes valuation model, considering the following assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 5.5% to 5.6%, volatility of 112%, and expected option and warrant lives of four to five years. These items, correspondingly resulted in a 1999 increase in gross purchased technology with respect to the SSI Operations of $7,381,840. In November 1999, one of the principal shareholders of ESI was appointed as the president and chief executive officer of the Company. Asset Sentinel, Inc. software rights: On October 1, 1998, the Company acquired the rights to a suite of network mapping software products from Asset Sentinel, Inc. ("ASI"). Initial consideration for the software rights was $425,000 and was comprised of a $146,680 note payable to ASI due six months from closing date and forgiveness of an ASI note payable to the Company of $279,320. In addition, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration of up to $2,200,000, based on certain sales milestones of the ASI products for 18 months after acquisition, payable in cash or Company common stock, at the Company's option. The Company did not acquire any tangible assets or assume any liabilities, and therefore, the entire purchase price was recorded as purchased technology and was being amortized over its estimated economic life of 5 years. As further discussed in Note 11, subject to the Company's ongoing review of the recoverability of intangible assets, the Company recorded a charge in 1999 related to impairment of the net balance of ASI related purchased technology. Infinite Graphics Incorporated assets and liabilities: On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets, and perpetual software licenses and assumed certain liabilities of a division of Infinite Graphics Incorporated ("IGI") engaged in the development and sale of computer-aided design and manufacturing software for the printed circuit board industry. The consideration related to the purchase of the IGI assets included $700,000 in cash and contingent consideration of up to $3,300,000 based on certain operating results with respect to the IGI assets acquired (the "IGI Operations") over a period of 15 months from the date of acquisition. Net identifiable liabilities of $78,446 were assumed consisting of $50,000 of property and equipment and $128,446 of current liabilities. As a result of the IGI asset acquisition, the Company recorded $778,446 of purchased technology and customer lists in February 1998 with estimated useful lives of three to five years. In the second quarter of 1999, the results of the IGI Operations met the thresholds surrounding the $3,300,000 contingent consideration element of the February 1998 agreement with IGI. As a result, the Company increased purchased technology with respect to the IGI Operations, assigned $1,435,481 of accounts receivable to IGI and recorded an accrued liability of $1,864,519 for the remaining balance, which as of December 31, 1999 had not been paid by the Company. In November 1999, the Company received notice from IGI of IGI's intent to terminate the licenses granted to the Company and to seek recovery of the assets purchased by the Company under the February 1998 agreement due to 31 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Company's inability to pay IGI the outstanding $1,864,519 balance of contingent consideration. As further discussed in Note 11, as a result of the notice given by IGI and in conjunction with the Company's ongoing review of the recoverability of intangible assets, the Company recorded a charge in the fourth quarter of 1999 related to the impairment of the net balance of purchased technology and customer lists associated the IGI Operations. Unaudited pro forma financial information: The following tables summarizes unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information with respect to results of operations of the Company as if the acquisitions of the assets, licenses, and various rights and assumption of the described liabilities with respect to the transactions with Lavenir, SSI Ltd, ESI, ASI, and IGI described above had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented:

In May 1999, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement and has since executed certain amendments (collectively, the "1999 Debt Agreement") that provided for (a) a senior revolving loan maturing in May 2000, (b) a convertible term loan, and (c) a term loan. Various amendments were made to the 1999 Debt Agreement throughout 1999. The Company utilized $1,900,000 of proceeds under this agreement to pay its then outstanding subordinated notes payable. The general payment terms and interest rates (including any 33 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- modifications based upon certain forbearance agreements discussed below) as of December 31, 1999 with respect to the 1999 Debt Agreement are included in the above table. Borrowings under the 1999 Debt Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company, exclusive of those of its BHT subsidiary. Borrowings with respect to the senior revolving loan are subject to a limit of the lesser of (a) $3,300,000 less 10% of equity (as defined in the 1999 Debt Agreement) and less any unpaid balance of the convertible term loan, (b) 80% of eligible receivables, or (c) 20% of net worth (as defined in the 1999 Debt Agreement). The Company is currently not in compliance with the 1999 Debt Agreement and has entered into certain forbearance agreements with the lender. These agreements established a forbearance period through March 31, 2000 during which, among other things, collection of accounts receivable is made through a bank lockbox and these proceeds are immediately applied to outstanding borrowings, interest rates on borrowings subject to the 1999 Debt Agreement are increased 3% per annum, certain modifications to the borrowing base formula are in effect, and 50% of proceeds from equity issuances and 75% of proceeds from other debt issuances are to be paid to the lender. The Company has been unable to comply with all of the terms of the forbearance agreements. In connection with the 1999 Debt Agreement and related forbearance agreements, the Company issued warrants to the lender to purchase 46,462 shares of the Company's common stock at $7.15 per share. These warrants had a fair value of $364,767 as determined by use of a Black-Scholes valuation model. In addition, the conversion price of the convertible term loan under the 1999 Debt Agreement was less than the market value of the Company's common stock on the date the convertible term loan was issued, resulting in the existence of a beneficial conversion feature with a value of $248,000. Based upon the default status of the underlying borrowings, the Company recorded a charge of $612,767 with respect to the value of this beneficial conversion feature and fair value of warrants related to the 1999 Debt Agreement. In addition, all outstanding debt in default has been classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet. In December 1999, the Company issued $300,000 in short-term promissory notes. As discussed in Note 14, these promissory notes were converted to shares of Series D Convertible Preferred stock of the Company in January 2000. As a result of the 1999 transaction with Lavenir (see Note 7), the Company assumed certain equipment loans and notes payable. The general terms and outstanding balances related to these debt obligations are summarized in the table above. In March and May 1999, the Company issued convertible notes payable aggregating $261,372. The notes issued in March 1999 were convertible to the Company's common stock at $4.00 per share while the notes issued in May 1999 were convertible at $6.25 per share. These conversion prices were less than the per share market value of the Company's common stock on the date the notes were issued resulting in the existence of beneficial conversion features with a an aggregate value of $212,624. In connection with these convertible notes payable, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $7.50 per share. These warrants had a fair value of $15,000 as determined by use of a Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of these warrants and the beneficial conversion feature associated with these convertible notes payable was amortized into expense over the period the notes were outstanding. These notes and a portion of related accrued interest were converted to common stock in September and December 1999. In February 1999, the Company issued a $500,000 short-term note payable which was paid by the Company in November 1999. In connection with this note, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase 110,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.40 per share. The $810,703 fair value of these warrants was amortized into expense over the period the notes were outstanding. The valuation of warrants issued in conjunction with debt as described above was determined by use of a Black-Scholes valuation model, considering the following assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, volatility of 112%, and expected warrant lives of 4.5 to five years. 34 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 9. Stockholders' Equity Common stock issued: During 1999, the Company sold 534,578 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $2,713,399 pursuant to a series of private placements of securities. The company paid capital raising costs of approximately $235,000 and issued warrants to purchase 40,313 shares of the Company's common stock to various placement agents at $4.00 to $6.25 per share in conjunction with these private placements. Company also issued 648,000 shares of common stock in return for investor relations services, 311,000 shares with respect to acquisitions (see Note 7), 52,038 shares in connection with the conversion of certain notes payable (see Note 8), and 176,604 shares with respect to the conversion of preferred stock, payment of dividends and exercises of stock options and warrants during 1999. The value of shares issued in exchange for investor relations services was charged to administrative expense. During 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of 264,907 shares of common stock, 218,400 shares of which were issued pursuant to various private placements and 46,507 of which related to conversions of preferred stock and exercises of options and warrants. The Company received proceeds from 1998 placements of common stock of $1,800,350 and paid stock issue costs of $346,922, a portion of which related to common stock placements and a portion of which related to the issuance of Series B Preferred stock as described below. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issuance: From late August 1998 until December 31, 1998, the Company sold 67,192 units in a private placement of securities. Each unit consisted of one share of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock") and one warrant to purchase shares of common stock. The purchase price per unit was $32.50. Each share of Series B Stock entitles the holder thereof to receive an annual dividend equal to 8% of the per share purchase price. Beginning in February 1999, each share of Series B Stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock equal to the per unit purchase price divided by 80% of the average closing bid price of the common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date, subject to certain adjustments; provided, however, that such average price may not be greater than $12.50 nor less than $3.75. The beneficial conversion feature present in the issuance of the Series B Stock as determined on the date of issuance of the Series B Stock totaled $562,392 and is treated as a reduction in earnings available (increase in loss attributable) to common stockholders over the period from the date of issuance of the Series B Stock to the earliest date such shares may be converted. All outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into common stock on September 23, 2001 if the Company has registered such common shares under the Securities Act and the common stock is traded on the Nasdaq. Each warrant issued in connection with the Series B Stock is a five-year callable warrant to purchase common stock at $16.25 per share. The number of shares of common stock for which the warrant in each unit will be exercisable is equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the associated share of Series B Preferred Stock contained in the unit will have been converted. In connection with the offering of the Series B Stock, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Stock and associated warrants and to pay a penalty if such registration was not effective by February 28, 1999. The Company has not yet registered these shares and, as a result, is incurring a penalty owed to the investors in the offering who have not formally waived this penalty equal to 1% of the purchase price of the units for each of the first two 30-day periods following February 28, 1999 and 3% for every 30-day period thereafter until the registration statement has been declared effective. During 1999, the Company incurred approximately $370,000 in such penalties. Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issuance: On March 25, 1999, the Company issued 1,600 shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Stock") to certain accredited investors in a private offering. Sixty days after the issuance of the Series C Stock, each share of Series C Stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value of each such share ($1,000) divided by the lesser of $12.50 or 80% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the 15 trading days immediately 35 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- preceding the conversion date. The beneficial conversion feature present in the issuance of the Series C Stock as determined on the date of issuance of the Series C Stock totaled $522,972 and is treated as a reduction in earnings available (increase in loss attributable) to common stockholders over the period from the date of issuance of the Series C Stock to the earliest date such shares may be converted. Holders of Series C Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the per share purchase price. The dividends are payable in either cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable as a dividend payment will equal the total dividend payment then due divided by the conversion price calculated as of the date that the dividend payment is due. In addition, in connection with the Series C Stock offering, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at $8.28 per share. A portion of the aggregate proceeds from the Series C Stock offering equal to the $135,288 fair value of these warrants was allocated to additional paid in capital. This fair value was determined by use of a Black- Scholes valuation model, considering the following assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, volatility of 112%, and expected warrant lives of five years. The Company issued 75 shares of Series C Stock to the placement agent in return for capital raising services and incurred $96,000 in other capital raising cost with respect to this private offering. In connection with the offering of the Series C Stock, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series C Stock and associated warrants and to pay a penalty if such registration was not effective 30 days after their issuance. The Company has not yet registered these shares and, as a result, is incurring a penalty owed to the investors equal to 1% of the purchase price of the shares for the first 30-day periods following April 25, 1999 and 3% for every 30-day period thereafter until the registration statement has been declared effective. During 1999, the Company incurred approximately $400,000 in such penalties. Series E Convertible Preferred Stock issuance: On December 30, 1999, the Company issued 2,650 shares of its Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series E Stock") to certain accredited investors in a private offering. At any time after the issuance of the Series E Stock, each share of Series E Stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value of each such share ($1,000) divided by the lesser of $5.125 or 75% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The beneficial conversion feature present in the issuance of the Series E Stock as determined on the date of issuance of the Series E Stock totaled $1,683,453 and is treated as a reduction in earnings available (increase in loss attributable) to common stockholders upon the date of issuance of the Series E Stock since such shares may be converted at any time following issuance. Subsequent to year-end, as a result of the Series F Convertible Preferred offering (see Note 14), the 75% conversion factor included in the formula described above was changed to 70%. Holders of Series E Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the per share purchase price. The dividends are payable in either cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable as a dividend payment will equal the total dividend payment then due divided by the conversion price calculated as of the date that the dividend payment is due. In addition, in connection with the Series E Stock offering, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $6.375 per share. A portion of the aggregate proceeds from the Series E Stock offering equal to the $260,370 fair value of these warrants was allocated to additional paid in capital. This fair value was determined by use of a Black- Scholes valuation model, considering the following assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, volatility of 112%, and expected warrant lives of five years. The Company issued 25 shares of Series E Stock to the placement agent in return for capital raising services and incurred approximately $292,000 in other capital raising cost with respect to this private offering. 36 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In connection with the offering of the Series E Stock, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series E Stock and associated warrants and to pay a penalty if such registration was not effective 30 days after their issuance. The Company has not yet registered these shares and, as a result, is incurring a penalty owed to the investors equal to 2% of the purchase price of the shares for the first 30-day period and 3% for every 30-day period thereafter until the registration statement has been declared effective. Common stock warrants: During 1999, the Company issued warrants to purchase 22,000 shares of its common stock for $2.19 to $7.50 per share in return for various services received. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase its common stock in connection with various acquisitions (see Note 7), borrowings and issuance of notes payable (see Note 8), and issuance of common and preferred stock (as described above). During 1998, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with various sales of common and preferred stock and in connection with the acquisition of various assets and assumption of certain liabilities from ESI. The following table summarizes the Company's warrants outstanding at December 31, 1999:

Common stock options: The Company's stock option plan, provides for granting to the Company's employees, directors and consultants, qualified incentive and nonqualified options to purchase common shares of stock. Qualified incentive options must be granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified options must be granted with exercise prices equal to at least 85% percent of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. At December 31, 1999, the Company has 3,500,000 shares of its common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Company's stock option plan. 37 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 is summarized as follows:

The Company applies APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options. As a result no compensation expense has been recognized for employee and director stock options. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss would have been reported as follows: 38 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Ended December 31, 1999 1998 ----------------- ---------------- Net loss: As reported $ (38,897,293) $ (2,003,166) Pro forma (39,620,293) (2,567,166) Diluted loss per common share: As reported $ (9.763) $ (0.643) Pro forma (9.932) (0.080)
Pro form amounts only reflect options granted during 1995 through 1999. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 for years prior to 1999 is not reflected in the pro forma amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options' vesting period, and compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 is not considered. The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 1999 and 1998 was $8.70 and $3.90, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions:
Years Ended December 31, 1999 1998 ------- ------- Expected dividend yield 0% 0% Risk-free interest rate 5.5% 4.5% Annualized volatility 112% 113% Expected life, in years 5 5
Note 10. Income Taxes At December 31, 1999, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $33 million. The net operating loss carryforward may be subject to an annual limitation as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Current and future equity transactions could further limit the net operating losses available in any one year. 39 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tax effects of temporary differences from continuing operations that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 are shown as follows:
Years Ended December 31, 1999 1998 ----------------- --------------- Deferred tax assets: Write-downs of intangible assets $ 1,184,000 $ - Allowance for doubtful accounts 258,000 127,000 Purchased technology 317,000 58,000 Net operating loss carryforward 8,360,000 2,911,000 ----------------- --------------- 10,119,000 3,096,000 Less valuation allowance (9,145,000) (2,032,000) ----------------- --------------- $ 974,000 $ 1,064,000 ================= =============== Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation (374,000) (153,000) Capitalized software costs (600,000) (911,000) ----------------- --------------- $ (974,000) $ (1,064,000) ================= ===============
The total deferred tax assets indicated above do not include a $1.4 million deferred tax asset attributable to discontinued operations. Additionally, the valuation allowance indicated above does not include a valuation allowance of $1.4 million attributable to discontinued operations used to completely offset the deferred tax asset attributable to discontinued operations. A valuation allowance is required to reduce a potential deferred tax asset when it is likely that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax asset will not be realized due to the lack of sufficient taxable income. The Company has reviewed its taxable earnings history and projected future taxable income. Based on this assessment, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the portion of the deferred tax assets that will likely not be realized due to lack of sufficient taxable income in the future. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, there was no income tax provision. 40 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.

Note 11. Other Operating Expenses During the fourth quarter of 1999, in conjunction with the Company's regular review of the recoverability of intangible assets and of the valuation of certain other assets, the Company recorded a charge of $5,441,539. The amount of impairment losses recorded represented the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over the fair value of the asset. Generally, fair value represents the expected future cash flows from the use of the asset or group of assets, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved. These charges are summarized and further described below.
($ 000's) Write-down of software related to Magnum products business $ 289,000 Write-down of purchased technology and intangible assets related to to IGI Operations 2,470,000 Write-down of purchased technology and software related to ASI software rights and development 420,000 Write-down of capitalized software development costs 1,938,000 Write-down of excess equipment 325,000 ----------------- $ 5,442,000 =================
In December 1999, the Company approved a plan to dispose of the assets and operations used in connection with a portion of its network monitoring and analysis software and services business that was conducted under the Magnum name. In January 2000, the Company sold the net assets associated with the Magnum operations to a company established by two former employees of Global MAINTECH Corporation and forgave certain advances to the two former employees in return for a $214,000 note receivable from the acquiring company and the assumption of certain liabilities. Based upon a review of the recoverability of the net capitalized software development costs associated with the Magnum operations, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $289,000 in December 1999 to state the capitalized software costs at fair value. As discussed in Note 7, in November 1999, the Company received notice from IGI of IGI's intent to terminate the licenses granted to the Company and to seek recovery of the assets purchased by the Company under a February 1998 agreement as a result of the Company's inability to pay IGI the outstanding balance of contingent consideration due. In December 1999, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $2,470,000 to write-down the net balance of purchased technology and intangible assets related to the IGI Operations based upon the terms of a settlement agreement proposed by both the Company and IGI, but pending approval of certain holders of the Company's 41 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- secured debt. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the license rights and essentially all of the net assets of the IGI Operations, totaling approximately $2,191,000 at December 31, 1999, would revert back to IGI in exchange for the mutual release of claims arising under the February 1998 agreement, including IGI's release of the Company's contingent consideration payment obligation. Writing-off these net assets, assumed legal costs and an estimated loss on operations until the date of asset reversion results in a charge of approximately $2,470,000. During the fourth quarter of 1999, in conjunction with the Company's ongoing review of recoverability of intangible assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $420,000 related to the net balance of ASI intangible assets acquired in February 1998 (see Note 7). In March 2000, the Company formally transferred the rights to the ASI software acquired back to ASI along with the obligation to provide any future service to customers of the Company utilizing certain ASI software. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay ASI $70,000 in return for ASI's assumption of this obligation and for ASI's release of any claims against the Company. Furthermore, should ASI later sell the software rights previously owned by the Company or should ASI raise in excess of $200,000 in equity capital, ASI is required to pay the Company $70,000. In light of an assessment made by the Company in late 1999 with respect to new product development, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $1,938,000 related to capitalized software development costs. The Company determined that new product development would occur with different tools and techniques available in the marketplace and that such techniques would not take advantage of portions of software for which the Company had recorded a net balance of capitalized software development costs. Based upon a review of the recoverability of such capitalized costs the Company recorded a charge of in December 1999 to state the remaining balance at fair value. As part of certain cost containment efforts in late 1999, the Company reduced staffing in various areas. In conjunction with these staffing changes, certain excess equipment was identified and subsequently written-down to fair value. The aggregate total of charge related to the write-down of equipment in 1999 was approximately $325,000. Note 12. Operating Leases Company as lessor: The Company leases equipment, primarily VCC units, under noncancellable operating leases expiring in various years. The cost of equipment subject to such leases is recorded as leased equipment. Future minimum lease payments to be received for operating leases in which the Company is the lessor are $237,500, 172,200 and $8,200 for 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Company as lessee: The Company has operating leases for various office space and certain computers, and office equipment. The rental payments under these leases are charged to expense as incurred. Many of the leases provide that the Company pay taxes, maintenance, insurance, and other operating expenses applicable to the leases. Lease expense in 1999 and 1998 was approximately $264,200 and $94,000, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under these noncancellable operating lease are approximately $361,800, $305,400, $146,868, $24,200 and $12,100 for the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. Note 13. Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk Sales to one unaffiliated customer aggregated approximately 30.4% of net sales for 1999. In addition, accounts receivable from this unaffiliated customer aggregated approximately 18% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 1999. Historically, the Company has not experienced write-offs related to these major customers, and no such losses are expected related to the balances of accounts receivable due from this customer as of December 31, 1999. 42 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 14. Subsequent Events Private Placement of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock: On January 19, 2000, the Company issued 2,725 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Stock") in a private placement. The shares were issued as follows: (1) 700 shares to new investors for $700,000 in the aggregate; (2) 300 shares to certain investors upon conversion of $300,000 of promissory notes issued by the Company (see Note 8); (3) 1,600 shares to the holders of the Company's then outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for all of their Series C shares; and (4) 125 shares to the placement agent, of which 75 shares were issued in exchange for all of the Company's Series C Stock held by the placement agent and of which 50 shares were compensation for placement agent services. At any time after the issuance of the Series D Stock, each share of Series D Stock is convertible into the number of shares of common stock calculated by dividing the per share purchase price of $1,000 by the conversion price. The conversion price equals the lesser of 75% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 15 trading days immediately before the conversion date or $5.4375. The beneficial conversion feature present in the issuance of the Series D Stock as determined on the date of issuance of the Series D Stock totaled $2,386,830 and will treated as a reduction in earnings available (increase in loss attributable) to common stockholders upon the date of issuance of the Series D Stock since such shares may be converted at any time following issuance. Holders of Series D Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the per share purchase price. The dividends are payable, upon conversion of the Series D Stock, in either cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable as a dividend payment will equal the total dividend payment then due divided by the conversion price calculated as of the date that the dividend payment is due. In addition, in connection with the Series D Stock offering the holders of warrants issued in the Series C offering were issued warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for the warrants issued to them in the Series C offering. Each new warrant issued entitles its holder to purchase the Company's Common Stock at $8.30 per share at any time before the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the warrant. In conjunction with the Series D Stock offering, the Company also issued 30,000 shares of common stock to the new investors and 120,000 shares of Common Stock to the holders of the Series C Stock. Issuance of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock: On February 23, 2000, the Company issued 2,000 shares of its Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series F Stock") to certain accredited investors in a private offering. At any time after the issuance of the Series F Stock, each share of Series F Stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value of each such share ($1,000) divided by the lesser of $6.75 or 75% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The beneficial conversion feature present in the issuance of the Series F Stock as determined on the date of issuance of the Series F Stock totaled $1,291,429 and is treated as a reduction in earnings available (increase in loss attributable) to common stockholders upon the date of issuance of the Series F Stock since such shares may be converted at any time following issuance. All outstanding shares of Series F Stock will be automatically converted into Common stock on February 23, 2002. The holders of Series F Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the stated value ($1,000) of the Series F Stock, subject to the prior declaration or payment of any dividend to which the holders of the Company's Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series D Stock or Series E Stock are entitled. Dividends on shares of the Series F Stock are cumulative and are payable only upon conversion of the Series F Stock. In connection with such offering, the Company also issued warrants to the investors to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock. Each warrant is a five-year callable warrant to purchase common stock at $11.00 per share. Due to certain provisions in effect with respect to the Series E Stock offering (see Note 9), as a result of the Series F Stock offering, the conversion formula with respect to the Series E Stock was modified. Based upon this modification, an additional beneficial conversion feature was created with respect to the Series E Stock. The value 43 GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of this additional conversion benefit of $311,510 will be treated as a reduction in earnings available (increase in loss attributable) to common stockholders upon the date of the modification. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement with regard to sales of the shares of common stock underlying the Series F Stock and the warrants and to pay a penalty if such registration statement is not effective by the 120th day after issuance of the Series F Stock. This penalty is equal to 2% of the purchase price of the Series F Stock for the first 30-day period following such 120-day period and 3% of such purchase price for every 30- day period thereafter until the registration statement has been declared effective. Patent infringement claim and settlement: The Company was named as a defendant in a patent infringement claim filed in February 2000. The claim alleged, among other things, that the Company's VCC product, when monitoring a mainframe computer, infringed on a patent held by the plaintiffs. The Company believed that the plaintiffs' claims were without merit, but in order to avoid protracted and potentially costly litigation, the Company settled the claim on March 16, 2000.

Assignment: This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties to it and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that Buyer Corp may not assign any of its rights hereunder, except to a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer Corp. No such assignment by Buyer Corp to its wholly owned subsidiary shall relieve Buyer Corp of any of its obligations or duties hereunder.

Arbitrators shall be persons experienced in negotiating, and making and consummating acquisition agreements. Specific Performance and Waiver of Rescission Rights: Each Party's obligation under this Agreement is unique. Each of the Parties acknowledges that if any Party should default in its obligations under this Agreement, it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the nondefaulting party, in addition to any other available rights or remedies, may sue in equity for specific performance, and the Parties each expressly waive the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate. Notwithstanding any breach or default by any of the Parties of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements under this Agreement, if the purchase and sale contemplated hereunder shall be consummated at the Closing, each of the Parties waives any rights that it or he may have to rescind this Agreement or the transactions consummated hereunder; provided, however, this waiver shall not affect any other rights or remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement or under the law.

All claims on such matters shall have been made, or an action at law or in equity shall have been commenced or filed, before such anniversary date. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the obligations and indemnities of the Parties with respect to covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are permitted to be performed, in whole or in part, after the Closing Date. The limitation period for the survival of the above-specified representations and warranties shall not apply to any fraudulent breach, representation, or warranty, or to any breach or inaccuracy in any representations or warranties known to Sellers or Buyers on the Closing Date.

The name of the person who filed the instrument is James Geiser. 2. The instrument to be corrected is the Global MAINTECH Corporation Certificate of Designation of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock as filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State on March 3, 2000. 3.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have subscribed my name this 21/st/ day of April, 2000. /s/ James Geiser ------------------------ James Geiser, Secretary CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION of SERIES F CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK of GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION (Adopted pursuant to the Minnesota Business Corporation Act) The undersigned hereby certifies that the Board of Directors of GLOBAL MAINTECH CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), duly adopted the following resolutions effective as of February 16, 2000: RESOLVED, a series of preferred stock of the Company is created and the relative rights, preferences, and limitations of the shares of such series are as follows: I. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall ---------------------- be designated as "Series F Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series F Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series F Preferred Stock shall be 2,000. The Series F Preferred Stock shall have a stated value (the "Stated Value") of $1,000 per share. II. Dividends. --------- A. The holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, subject to the prior declaration or payment of any dividend to which the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series A Stock") the Series B Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series B Stock") the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series D Stock") and the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series E Stock") are entitled, and prior to, and in preference to, any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Common Stock of this Company, at a per share rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum of the amount of the Stated Value of the Series F Preferred Stock, which is payable upon conversion (based upon a 365 calendar day year) as set forth below. Dividends shall begin to accrue as of the Issuance Date (as defined below). Any dividends payable pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall, at the Company's option, be payable in cash, or unrestricted shares of Common Stock of the Company within five Business Days (as defined below) of when due. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company in lieu of a cash payment for dividends due as set forth herein shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from dividing the dollar amount of dividends owed by the Conversion Price (as defined below) on such date as the dividends are payable (if such date is not a Trading Day, then the next Trading Day (as defined below) immediately thereafter). B. Such dividends shall accrue on each share of Series F Preferred Stock from the Issuance Date, and shall accrue from day to day whether or not earned or declared. Such dividends shall be cumulative so that if such dividends in respect of any previous or current annual dividend period, at the annual rate specified above, shall not have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, for all Series F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the deficiency shall first be fully paid before any dividend or other distribution shall be paid on or declared or set apart for the Series F Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other security of the Company subordinate in liquidation to the Series F Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock shall be non-participating and the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any other dividends beyond the cumulative dividends specified herein. III. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. -------------------------------------- A. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, subject to the prior liquidation preference of the holders of Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock and Series E Stock, and prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Company to the holders of Common Stock, holders of each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets available for distribution to shareholders the Stated Value per share of Series F Preferred Stock plus eight percent (8%) per annum thereon from the Issuance Date (as defined below) to the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (the "Liquidation Amount"). B. Upon the completion of any required distribution to the holders of the Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock and Series E Stock, if the assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock the full Liquidation Amount to which they shall be entitled, then any such distribution of assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably to the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock. C. After the payment of the Liquidation Amount shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock or funds necessary for such payment shall have been set aside by the Company in trust for the account of holders of the Series F Preferred Stock so as to be available for such payments, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to no further participation in the distribution of the assets of the Company, and the remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock and any other classes or series of Preferred Stock of the Company in accordance with their respective terms. IV. Voting. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights ------ except as expressly required by law or as expressly provided herein. V. Conversion of Series F Preferred Stock. The holders of Series F Preferred -------------------------------------- Stock shall have the right, at such holder's option, to convert the Series F Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, on the following terms and conditions: A. Subject to the provisions of Section XI hereof, at any time or times after the earlier of (i) 61 days following the Effective Date, or (ii) 61 days following the Issuance Date, any holder of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert any whole number of such holder's shares of Series F Preferred Stock into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, which is determined (per share of Series F Preferred Stock) by dividing (x) $1,000, by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined below) (the "Conversion Rate"). B. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the following terms shall have the following meanings: A "Business Day" shall be any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, national holiday or a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed. The "Closing Bid Price" shall mean, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price for such security on the Nasdaq Stock Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. ("Bloomberg"), or, if the Nasdaq Stock Market is not the principal trading market for such security, the last closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin Board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing bid or trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the closing bid price shall be determined by reference to the closing bid price as reported on the Principal Market. If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually agreed by the Company and the holders of two thirds of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The "Conversion Price" shall mean, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) the lesser of (i) $6.75 (the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock over the ten Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to February 17, 2000) (the "Maximum Conversion Price") or (ii) 75% of the average of the three lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock during the 15 Trading Days (the "Lookback Period") immediately prior to the Conversion Date. On the last Trading Day of each month, starting on the first day of the fourth calendar month immediately following the Issuance Date, the Lookback Period will be increased by two Trading Days until the Lookback Period equals a maximum of 30 Trading Days. "Effective Date" shall mean the date on which the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") first declares effective a Registration Statement registering the resale of up to 200% of the greater of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all of the Series F Preferred Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day such Registration Statement is filed (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all of the Series F Preferred Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day any amendment to such Registration Statement is filed. The "Issuance Date" shall mean, with respect to each share of Series F Preferred Stock, the date of issuance of the applicable share of Series F Preferred Stock. A "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the Principal Market is open. The "Principal Market" shall mean the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small Cap Stock Market, the American Stock Exchange, the NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock may exercise their right to convert the Series F Preferred Stock by telecopying an executed and completed notice of conversion in the agreed upon form (the "Notice of Conversion") to the Company and delivering to Company the original Notice of Conversion and the certificate representing the Series F Preferred Stock being converted by reputable overnight courier within three (3) Business Days thereafter. Each Business Day (between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time) on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to and received by the Company shall be deemed a "Conversion Date." The Company will deliver the certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any share of Series F Preferred Stock (together with the certificates representing the share or shares of Series F Preferred Stock not so converted) to the holder thereof via reputable overnight courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise within five Business Days after the later of (i) receipt by the Company of the original Notice of Conversion and the certificate representing the Series F Preferred Stock being converted, and (ii) the Conversion Date (the "Delivery Date"). In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, in the event that the Company fails to deliver such shares of Common Stock within five Business Days after the Delivery Date, the holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice (by similar method) to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and such holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion. The Notice of Conversion and Series F Preferred Stock certificates representing the portion of the Series F Preferred Stock converted shall be delivered as follows: To the Company: Global MAINTECH Corporation 7578 Market Place Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Attention: CEO Telephone: (612) 944-0400 Facsimile: (612) 944-3311 with a copy to: Dorsey & Whitney LLP Pillsbury Center South 220 South Sixth Street Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402-1498 Attention: Ken Cutler Telephone: (612) 340-2740 Facsimile: (612) 340-8378 The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the shares of Common Stock beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the holder. As compensation to the holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the holder in the event that Company's failure to issue and deliver the shares on the Delivery Date in accordance with the following schedule (where "No. Business Days Late" is defined as the number of Business Days beyond five (5) Business Days after the Delivery Date): Late Payment For Each $10,000 of Preferred Stock Liquidation No. Business Days Late Amount Being Converted ---------------------- ---------------------- 1 $100 2 $200 3 $300 4 $400 5 $500 *5 $500 +$200 for each Business Day Late beyond 10 days from The Delivery Date ____ * greater than sign The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the holder's right to pursue actual damages or to cause the Company to redeem the Preferred Shares as provided below for the Company's actions or inactions resulting in the transfer agent's failure to issue and deliver the Common Stock to the holder. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the holder, in the event that the Company fails to deliver such shares of Common Stock within five (5) Business Days after the Delivery Date, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event the Company's actions or inactions result in the transfer agent's failure to issue and deliver the Common Stock to the holder within ten (10) days after the Delivery Date, holder may, at its option, require the Company (without limiting its other remedies hereunder) to immediately redeem all outstanding Preferred Stock in accordance with Section XI hereof. If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and after such Delivery Date, the holder of the Preferred Stock being converted (a "Converting Holder") purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder made after a Conversion Date (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Company shall pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of this Certificate of Designation and other agreements related hereto, and not in lieu thereof, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Buy-In Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Converting Holder in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000. The remedies set forth in this Section V.B. shall be cumulative. C. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, then and in each such event, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization, reclassification or other change which such holders would have received had their shares of Series F Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification or other change. D. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other person (any of which events is herein referred to as a "Reorganization"), then as a part of such Reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had converted its shares of Series F Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock after the Reorganization, to the end that the provisions of this Section (including adjustment of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable. E. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series F Preferred Stock as provided herein, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of such Series F Preferred Stock a certificate executed by the president and chief financial officer (or in the absence of a person designated as the chief financial officer, by the treasurer) setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment are based. The Company shall, upon written request at any time of any holder of Series F Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (A) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (B) the number or shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series F Preferred Stock. F. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series F Preferred Stock certificate(s), and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon the cancellation of the Series F Preferred Stock certificate(s), if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver new certificates for Series F Preferred Stock of like tenure and date. However, the Company shall not be obligated to reissue such lost or stolen certificates for shares of Series F Preferred Stock if the holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such shares of Series F Preferred Stock into Common Stock. G. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. The Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. H. In the event some but not all of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock represented by a certificate or certificates surrendered by a holder are converted, the Company shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate representing the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock which were not converted. I. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding two years from the Issuance Date shall automatically be converted into Common Stock on such date at the Conversion Price and such date shall be deemed the Conversion Date with respect to such shares. J. The Company shall pay any and all original issue and/or transfer taxes which may be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock. K. Subject to the provisions of this Section, if the Company at any time shall issue any shares of Common Stock prior to the conversion of the entire Stated Value of the Series F Preferred Stock and dividends on such Series F Preferred Stock, otherwise than: (i) pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof (including issuances pursuant to the Company's proposed transaction with Breece Hill Technologies, Inc.) as described in writing to the holders prior to the Issuance Date or in SEC filings made by the Company prior to the Issuance Date, or (ii) all shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's existing stock option, incentive, or other similar plan, which plan and which grant is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company ((i) and (ii) collectively referred to as the "Existing Obligations"), for a consideration less than the fixed Conversion Price set forth in (i) of the definition of Conversion Price in Section V.B. above (as adjusted from the date hereof (the "Fixed Conversion Price"), then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the fixed Conversion Price shall, from such date forward, equal the resulting quotient of the following formula: (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be multiplied by the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issue and the product shall be added to the aggregate consideration, if any received by the Company upon such issue of additional shares of Common Stock; and (z) the sum so obtained shall be divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue. Except for the Existing Obligations and options that may be issued under any employee incentive stock option and/or any qualified stock option plan adopted by the Company, for purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right, or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights. L. In the event a holder shall elect to convert any share or shares of Series F Preferred Stock as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of said shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such holder in the amount of 133% of the Stated Value of the Series F Preferred Stock and dividends sought to be converted, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such holder in the event it obtains a favorable judgment. VI. No Reissuance of Series F Preferred Stock. No share or shares of Series F ----------------------------------------- Preferred Stock acquired by the Company by reason of purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Company shall be authorized to issue. The Company may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock accordingly. VII. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, so long as any share or shares --------------------- of the Series F Preferred Stock are outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall be up to 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Series F Preferred Stock are at any time convertible and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to maintain such number of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall immediately take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. VIII. Restrictions and Limitations. ---------------------------- A. Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law, so long as any shares of Series F Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the approval by vote or written consent by the holders of at least two thirds of the then outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class take any action that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock. B. Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, the Company shall not so long as any shares of Series F Preferred Stock remain outstanding amend its Articles of Incorporation without the approval by the holders of all of the then outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock if such amendment would: 1. create any other class or series of capital stock entitled to seniority as to the payment of dividends in relation to the holders of Series F Preferred Stock; 2. reduce the amount payable to the holders of Series F Preferred Stock upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or change the relative seniority of the liquidation preferences of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock to the rights upon liquidation of the holders of other capital stock of the Company, 3. cancel or modify the conversion rights of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock provided for in Section V herein; or 4. cancel or modify the rights of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock provided for in this Section. IX. No Dilution or Impairment. ------------------------- A. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designation set forth herein, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall not establish a par value of any shares of stock receivable on the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock above the amount payable therefor on such conversion, (b) shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the conversion of all Series F Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding, and (c) shall not consolidate with or merge into any other person or entity, or permit any such person or entity to consolidate with or merge into the Company (if the Company is not the surviving person), unless such other person or entity shall expressly assume in writing and will be bound by all of the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock set forth herein. B. If the Company at any time after the Issuance Date shall issue any shares of Common Stock prior to the conversion of all shares of the Series F Preferred and the dividends thereon, including without limitation, shares of Common Stock issued (i) pursuant to options (including those options delivered pursuant to any employee, officer or director stock option plan), warrants, or other contractual obligations, (ii) upon any private placement or secondary offering (iii) as a result of a stock dividend or split, then upon each such issuance of Common Stock the Maximum Conversion Price shall be reduced by: (y)(I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, multiplied by the Maximum Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, plus (II) the aggregate sum, if any, received by the Company in consideration for such issuance; divided by (z) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance. X. Notices of Record Date. In the event of: ---------------------- A. any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or B. any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger of the Company, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other corporation, or any other entity or person, or C. any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then and in each such event the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each holder of Series F Preferred Stock a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right and a description of such dividend, distribution or right, (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective and (iii) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten Business Days prior to the date specified in such notice on which such action is to be taken. XI. Redemption. ---------- A. For so long as the Company has not received a Notice of Conversion for such shares, the Company may, at its option, repay, in whole or in part, the Series F Preferred Stock shares at the Redemption Price (as defined below). The Series F Preferred Stock is redeemable as a series, in whole or in part, by the Company by providing written notice (the "Redemption Notice") to the holder of the Series F Preferred Stock via facsimile at his or her address as the same shall appear on the books of the Company (the Business Day between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time the Redemption Notice is received by the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock via facsimile is defined to be the "Redemption Notice Date"). Within ten Trading Days after the Redemption Notice Date the Company shall make payment of the Redemption Price (as defined below) in immediately available funds to the holder for the shares of Series F Preferred Stock which are the subject of the Redemption Notice (such date of payment referred to as the "Redemption Date"). Partial redemptions shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000. If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Company will select those to be redeemed pro-rata amongst the then holders of the Series F Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding. B. In the event the Company serves a Redemption Notice, the Redemption Price shall be equal to the greater of (i) 125% of the Stated Value of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock which are subject to such Redemption Notice, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares, or (ii) the "Economic Benefit" of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock which are the subject of such Redemption Notice. "Economic Benefit" shall mean the dollar value derived if the shares of Series F Preferred Stock which were the subject of the Redemption Notice were converted on the Redemption Notice Date and sold on the Redemption Notice Date at the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the Redemption Notice Date. C. The Notice of Redemption shall set forth (i) the Redemption Date and the place fixed for redemption, (ii) the Redemption Price, (iii) a statement that dividends on the shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Redemption Date, (iv) a statement of or reference to the conversion right set forth herein, and (v) confirmation that the Company has the full Redemption Price reserved as set forth in F. below. If fewer than all the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock owned by such holders are then to be redeemed, the notice shall specify the number of shares thereof that are to be redeemed and, if practicable, the numbers of the certificates representing such shares. Within five Trading Days of the Redemption Notice Date, the Company shall wire transfer the appropriate amount of funds to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock. If the Company fails to comply with the redemption provisions set forth herein by the sixth Trading Day after the Redemption Notice Date (or in the case of a public offering as contemplated in F below, by the sixth Trading Day after the Redemption Notice Date) relating to the Redemption Notice, the redemption will be declared null and void and the Company shall not be permitted to serve another Redemption Notice. For the first five Trading Days after the Redemption Notice Date, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock will retain their conversion rights with respect to a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares subject to the redemption. If the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock elect to so convert the Series F Preferred Stock after the receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Company must receive notice of such election within twenty-four (24) hours from the time the Redemption Notice was received by the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock. In the event the Company has not complied with the redemption provisions set forth herein the Company must comply with the delivery requirements of any then outstanding Conversion Notice as set forth herein. The holders shall send the shares of Series F Preferred Stock being redeemed or converted to the Company within three (3) Business Days after they have received good funds for the Redemption Price of the redeemed shares. D. Subject to the receipt by the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock being redeemed of the wire transfer of the Redemption Price as described above, each share of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be automatically canceled and converted into a right to receive the Redemption Price, and all rights of the Series F Preferred Stock, including the right to conversion shall cease without further action. E. The Redemption Price shall be adjusted proportionally upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price as provided herein and in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or similar event. F. The Company shall not be entitled to send any Redemption Notice and begin the redemption procedure hereunder unless it has: (a) the full amount of the Redemption Price in cash, available in a demand or other immediately available account in a bank or similar financial institution, specifically allotted for such redemption; (b) immediately available credit facilities, in the full amount of the Redemption Price with a bank or similar financial institution specifically allotted for such redemption; or (c) a combination of the items set forth in (i) and (ii) above, aggregating the full amount of the Redemption Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the redemption is expected to be made contemporaneously with the closing of a public offering of the Company's securities for an amount in excess of the Redemption Price, the Company shall not be required to have the full amount of the Redemption Price available to it as set forth above. XII. 4.99% Limitation. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, in no ---------------- event shall each holder be entitled to convert any shares of the Series F Preferred Stock to the extent that, after such conversion, the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted shares of the Series F Preferred Stock), and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by such holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). Any issuance by the Company to a holder in excess of the limit contained in this Paragraph shall be null and void, ab initio, and upon notice of such invalid issuance, the Company shall correct its books and cause its transfer agent's books to be corrected forthwith to reflect that the holder's ownership of Common Stock is within the limit set forth herein. Holder shall immediately deliver any certificates for invalidly issued Common Stock to the Company's transfer agent. The Company further agrees to (i) immediately reissue certificates for Common Stock to the extent that a portion of the Common Stock represented by said certificates have been validly issued and (ii) immediately reissue all or a portion of those shares which were deemed invalidly issued (at a price set forth in the original conversion notices applicable to such shares) upon notice from the holder that the reissuance of such shares would not cause such holder to have a beneficial ownership interest in excess of 4.99%. The Company hereby indemnifies and holds each holder free and harmless in connection with any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs arising from or relating to claims made by any third parties with respect to any and all purported violations by each holder under Sections 13(d) and 16 resulting from a conversion(s) of the Series F Preferred Stock, unless such claim arises from such holder's default of its obligations hereunder, or representations or warranties contained herein. The 4.99% limitation shall not apply to the automatic conversion upon the Maturity Date as contained herein. XIII "Cap Regulations". The Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary ---------------- to be in a position to issue shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock without violating the "Cap Regulations". If despite taking such steps, the Company is limited in the number of shares of Common Stock it may issue by the "Cap Regulations," to the extent that the Company cannot issue such shares of Common Stock, due upon a Notice of Conversion, without violating the Cap Regulations, the Company shall immediately notify Buyer the number of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock which are not convertible as a result of said Cap Regulations (the "Unconverted Preferred Stock") and within five (5) Business Days of the applicable Notice of Conversion redeem the Unconverted Preferred Stock for an amount in cash (the "Redemption Amount") equal to the "Economic Benefit" of such Unconverted Preferred Stock. "Economic Benefit" for purposes of this Article XIII shall mean the dollar value derived if such Unconverted Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock as set forth in the Notice of Conversion and the Common Stock was sold on the date of the Notice of Conversion at the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date of the Notice of Conversion. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have subscribed my name this 3rd day of March, 1999.

The Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. g. The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. h.

Notwithstanding the provisions hereof or of the Preferred Stock, in no event (except with respect to an automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock as provided in the Certificate of Designations) shall each Buyer be entitled to convert any Preferred Stock to the extent that, after such conversion, the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Buyer and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Preferred Stock), and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by such Buyer and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").

Buyer represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finders' fee or commission nor is it aware of any such fee or commission payable in connection with this transaction. Buyer agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finders' fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which such Buyer or any of its officers, partners, employees, or representatives is responsible. 3.

The board of directors of the Company has concluded that, in its good faith business judgment, such issuance is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company. p. Acknowledgment by Company.

The Company agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Buyer from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finders' fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the Company or any of its officers, partners, employees, or representatives is responsible. 4. CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. a. Transfer Restrictions. The Buyer acknowledges that (1) the Preferred Stock has not been and is not being registered under the provisions of the 1933 Act and, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act, and may not be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; (2) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller, or the person through whom the sale is made, may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is used in the 1933 Act, may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (3) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities (other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) under the 1933 Act or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. b. Restrictive Legend. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Preferred Stock and, until such time as the Common Stock has been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, certificates and other instruments representing any of the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of any such Securities): THESE SECURITIES (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. c. Registration Rights Agreement. The parties hereto agree to enter into the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the Closing Date. d. Filings. The Company undertakes and agrees to make all necessary filings in connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock to the Buyer under any United States laws and regulations, or by any domestic securities exchange or trading market, and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing. e. Reporting Status. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Preferred Stock, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. f. Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock (excluding amounts paid by the Company for legal fees, finder's fees in connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock) for general capital purposes and, without limiting the foregoing, shall not, directly or indirectly, use any of such proceeds for investment in any other affiliate. g. Available Shares. The Company will seek to maintain authorize and reserved for issuance, free from preemptive rights, shares of Common Stock up to two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all of the outstanding Preferred Stock, and the exercise of the Warrants (as defined below). h. Warrants. The Company agrees to issue to Buyer at the Closing, transferable divisible warrants with cashless exercise provisions (the "Warrants") for 50,000 shares of Common Stock. Such Warrants shall bear an exercise price equal to $11.00, and shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance, and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, in the form annexed hereto as Annex V, together with piggy-back registration rights, and demand registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement. i. Limitation on Issuance of Shares. The Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Stock shall provide that the Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to be in a position to issue shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Preferred Stock without violating the "Cap Regulations". If despite taking such steps, the Company is limited in the number of shares of Common Stock it may issue by the "Cap Regulations," to the extent that the Company cannot issue such shares of Common Stock, due upon a Notice of Conversion, without violating the Cap Regulations, the Company shall immediately notify Buyer the number of shares of the Preferred Stock which are not convertible as a result of said Cap Regulations (the "Unconverted Preferred Stock") and within five (5) business days of the applicable Notice of Conversion redeem the Unconverted Preferred Stock for an amount in cash (the "Redemption Amount") equal to the "Economic Benefit" of such Unconverted Preferred Stock. "Economic Benefit" for purposes of this Section 4.i. shall mean the dollar value derived if such Unconverted Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock as set forth in the Notice of Conversion and the Common Stock was sold on the date of the Notice of Conversion at the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the date of the Notice of Conversion. The Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Stock shall contain provisions substantially consistent with the above terms, with such additional provisions as may be consented to by the Buyer. The provisions of this section are not intended to limit the scope of the provisions otherwise included in the Certificate of Designation. 5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. a. Promptly following the delivery by the Buyer of the aggregate purchase price for the Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 1(c) hereof, the Company will irrevocably instruct its transfer agent to issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company to the transfer agent, bearing the restrictive legend specified in Section 4(b) of this Agreement prior to registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee and in such denominations to be specified by the Buyer in connection with each conversion of the Preferred Stock. The Company warrants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5 and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof prior to registration and sale of the Shares under the 1933 Act will be given by the Company to the transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and applicable law. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement) permit the transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Shares, promptly instruct the Company's transfer agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. b. (i) The Company will permit the Buyer to exercise its right to convert the Preferred Stock by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) to the Company and delivering within three (3) business days thereafter, the original Notice of Conversion, together with the original share certificate, by express courier. (ii) The term "Conversion Date" means, with respect to any conversion elected by the holder of the Preferred Stock after the Effective Date, the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided the copy of the Notice of Conversion is telecopied to or otherwise delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof so that is received by the Company on or before such specified date. (The term "Effective Date" means the effective date of the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).) The Conversion Date for any mandatory conversion at maturity shall be the Maturity Date of the Preferred Stock. (iii) The Company shall, at its expense, take all actions and use all means necessary and diligent to cause its transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Shares issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Stock (together with Preferred Stock not being so converted) to the Buyer via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise, within five (5) business days after the later of (i) receipt by the Company of the copy of the original Notice of Conversion and share certificate, and (ii) the Conversion Date (the "Delivery Date"). c. The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the Shares of Common Stock beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Buyer. As compensation to the Buyer for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Buyer in the event that due entirely to the Company's failure to issue and deliver the Shares upon Conversion in accordance with the following schedule (where "No. Business Days Late" is defined as the number of business days beyond five (5) business days from Delivery Date): Late Payment For Each $10,000 of Preferred Stock Liquidation No. Business Days Late Amount Being Converted ---------------------- ---------------------- 1 $100 2 $200 3 $300 4 $400 5 $500 *5 $500 + $200 for each Business Day Late beyond 10 days from The Delivery Date ______ * greater than sign The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual damages or to cause the Company to redeem the Preferred Shares as provided below for the Company's actions or inactions resulting in the transfer agent's failure to issue and deliver the Common Stock to the Buyer. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Buyer, in the event that the Company fails to deliver such shares of Common Stock within five (5) business days after the Delivery Date, the Buyer will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Buyer shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event the Company's actions or inactions result in the transfer agent's failure to issue and deliver the Common Stock to the Buyer within ten (10) days after the Delivery Date, Buyer may, at its option, require the Company (without limiting its other remedies hereunder) to immediately redeem all outstanding Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4(g). d. If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and after such Delivery Date, the holder of the Preferred Stock being converted (a "Converting Holder") purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder made after a Conversion Date (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a "Buy- In"), the Company shall pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu thereof, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Buy-In Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Buyer in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000. The remedies set forth in paragraphs 5(c) and (d) shall be cumulative. e. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the unlegended securities issuable upon conversion, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Buyer and its compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Buyer thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Buyer by crediting the account of Buyer's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. f. The original certificate representing the Preferred Stock shall be delivered by the Buyer to the Company simultaneous with the final Notice of Conversion. 6. DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. The Preferred Stock shall be delivered by the Company to the Signatory or Signatory's Agent pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, on a delivery against payment basis, promptly after the Closing Date. 7. CLOSING DATE. (i) The closing of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock shall occur on February 23, 2000 (the "Closing Date"). (ii) The closing of the purchase and issuance of Preferred Stock shall occur on the Closing Date, at the offices of the Company and shall take place no later than 12:00 Noon, CST, on such day or such other time as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer. 8. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The Buyer understands that the Company's obligation to sell the Preferred Stock on the Closing Date and to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement is conditioned upon: a. The receipt and acceptance by the Buyer of this Agreement as evidenced by execution of this Agreement by the Buyer for Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in principal amount of the Preferred Stock (or such lesser amount as the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine on the Closing Date); b. Delivery by the Buyer to the Company of good funds as payment in full of an amount equal to the Purchase Price for the Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 1(c) hereof; c.

The accuracy in all material respects on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement as if made on the Closing Date and the performance by the Company on or before the Closing Date of all covenants and agreements of the Company required to be performed on or before the Closing Date and as to Preferred Stock, and d. On the Closing Date, Buyer having received the Registration Rights Agreement annexed hereto as Annex III and the Warrants. e. No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall be enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction which prohibits or adversely effects any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, and no proceeding or investigation shall have been commenced or threatened which may have the effect of prohibiting or adversely effecting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. f. If the date of this Securities Purchase Ageement and the Closing Date are different, then from and after the date hereof to and including the Closing Date, the trading of the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC, or the NASD and trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ/Small Cap, or Bulletin Board, as applicable, shall not have been suspended or limited, nor shall minimum prices been established for securities traded on NASDAQ/Small Cap or Bulletin Board, as applicable, nor shall there be any outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or any material adverse change in any financial market that in either case in the reasonable judgment of the Buyer makes it impracticable or inadvisable to purchase the Preferred Stock. 10.

Our report dated April 14, 2000, contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty. Our report refers to a change in the method of accounting for depreciation. /s/ KPMG LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota April 20, 2000 EX-27 8 FINANCIAL DATA SCHEDULE

EX-99 9 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT Exhibit 99 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT The Company, or persons acting on behalf of the Company, or outside reviewers retained by the Company making statements on behalf of the Company, or underwriters, from time to time, may make, in writing or orally, "forward- looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When used in conjunction with an identified forward-looking statement, this Cautionary Statement is for the purpose of qualifying for the "safe harbor" provisions of such sections and is intended to be a readily available written document that contains factors that could cause results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These factors are in addition to any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or referred to in connection with any such forward-looking statement. The following matters, among others, may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or prospects, financial or otherwise, of the Company. Reference to this Cautionary Statement in the context of a forward-looking statement or statements shall be deemed to be a statement that any one or more of the following factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statement or statements: Competition Our industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. We know of several other competitors that have much greater resources and experience in research and development and marketing than we do. These companies may represent significant competition for us. However, none of these companies produces as complete an enterprise computing system as we do, but rather they only produce components that could be combined to form such a system. We believe that we have a competitive advantage because we can produce an integrated system. Nevertheless, we cannot predict whether our competitors will develop or market technologies and products that are more effective than ours or that would make our technology and products obsolete or noncompetitive. New Product with Uncertain Demand Recently the Company revised aspects of the external control and monitoring systems to enhance its remote capabilities. Our VCC product provides customers with an economically feasible method of controlling and monitoring geographically dispersed computers and systems, particularly for systems that consist of many different locations with as few as one server per location, such as a retail organization. In such organizations, the local servers often upload data regarding product sales and inventory levels to a centralized data center. Our product allows the centralized data center to control these local servers (shutting down, starting-up, etc.) and operating systems for a price per server ranging from $3,000 to $8,000. The concept of an external monitor and control system for computer hardware is relatively new, and we do not yet know what the continued demand for the product will be. It is difficult to project the overall size of the future market for this product. We estimate that the current market size for internal systems is several billion dollars per year. We believe the market for external control systems could expand because external control systems could soon be used to solve networking problems with enterprise computing. Based on recent feedback we have received from current and potential customers, we believe the demand for the VCC is significant. However, to date, we have sold the VCC to only 16 customers and we cannot assure you that additional customers will buy our products. Dependence on Limited Product Offerings and Customer Base We currently offer a limited number of products, primarily consisting of a base VCC unit and related software and accessories. Our existing customers are not required to buy additional hardware products or to renew their software license and maintenance agreements with us when such license and agreements expire. Therefore, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from non- recurring revenue sources. To succeed, we will need to develop a sustained demand for our current products and to develop and sell additional products. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing and maintaining demand or in developing and selling additional products. Products Under Development We are currently in development to expand the functionality of all of our products. We are also developing software products that will bridge the gap between operational data from the mainframe environment and open systems management tools. Although preliminary tests indicate that these products will perform as intended and can be integrated with other Company's products, we cannot assure you that they will do so or, even if they do, that the market will demand such products. Newly Acquired Businesses; Integration of Operations We recently purchased the following new product lines: - In September 1999, we acquired from Lavenir Technology, Inc., a California corporation ("Lavenir"), a suite of CAD/CAM software products, including the ability to design, test, verify and repair precision graphics designs. - Effective November 1, 1998, we purchased substantially all of the assets of Enterprise Solutions, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("ESI"). As a result of this acquisition, we obtained substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of ESI, including a suite of software products that notify the proper person(s) by telephone, pager or the Internet of critical data center events. In addition, we obtained ESI's short-term consulting business, which assists companies to optimize their existing systems management and network management tools. There is a risk that we will not be able to successfully integrate the employees we hired from Lavenir and ESI into our own workforce. There is also a risk that we will not be able to market and sell these newly acquired product lines on a profitable basis for the next several years. Fluctuations in Operating Results Our future operating results may vary substantially from quarter to quarter. At our current stage of operations, the timing of the development and market acceptance of our products may materially affect our quarterly revenues and results of operations. Generally, our operating expenses are higher when we are developing and marketing a product. There is always a risk that we will not be successful in maintaining profitability and avoiding losses in any future period. For these reasons, the market price of our stock may be highly volatile. The price of our stock may also be affected by: - the general state of the country's economy - the conditions in the stock market - the development of new products by us and our competitors - public announcements by us or our competitors Future Capital Requirements; No Assurance Future Capital Will Be Available We may need additional funds to continue the marketing of our products and to meet our long-term growth needs. To meet our needs, we may have to obtain additional funding through public or private financings, including equity and debt financings. Any additional equity financings may be dilutive to our shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may have restrictive covenants. We are uncertain as to whether we will be able to obtain financing and, if we do, whether the financing will be available at reasonable rates and terms. Our business could be adversely affected if we do not secure such additional financing. Reliance on Key Personnel We rely heavily on two technicians, Per Liljesater and Norm Freedman, to further develop the Company's products. In addition, we rely heavily on Trent Wong and Desmond DosSantos for technical or business development for products of Singlepoint Systems, Inc. Even though these four employees have incentive stock options and are subject to standard rules of confidentiality, we cannot guarantee that they will stay with the Company. If any of these individuals leave the Company, we would need to hire a comparable employee. We cannot assure you that we would be able to hire someone quickly and at an affordable salary. Intellectual Property We protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of patent law, copyright law, statutory and common law trademark and trade secret laws, customer licensing agreements, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements and other methods. We have been granted United States Patent Nos. 6,035,264 and 6,044,393. We believe the VCC will be protected by other patents currently pending. We license hardware from Circle Corporation and use it in the VCC. Under our license, we can distribute the hardware worldwide, except in Japan. The initial term of this license expires on December 20, 2004. The VCC is also licensed under U.S. Patent No. 5,689,637. The initial term of this license expires on March 16, 2005. Although we have taken precautions to protect our intellectual property rights, a third party may copy or otherwise obtain or use our products or technology without our authorization, or develop similar products or technology independently. Our business would be adversely affected if someone used or copied our products to any substantial degree. We cannot assure you that the protection for our intellectual property rights is adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar products. We require our consultants and developers to assign to us their rights in any materials they provide to or make for us. We also ask their assurance that if we use any of their materials in our products we will not violate the rights of third parties. Based on these assurances and our relationships with our consultants and developers, we have no reason to believe that our products infringe on the proprietary rights of third parties. However, we have not commissioned an independent investigation to reaffirm the basis for our belief, and we cannot guarantee that our current or future products will infringe on their rights. We believe that developers of control systems increasingly may be subject to such claims as the number of products and competitors in the industry grows and the functionality of such products in the industry overlaps. Any such claim, with or without merit, could result in expensive litigation and could have a material adverse effect on our business. Lack of Product Liability Insurance We may be liable for product liability claims if someone claims that our products injured a person or business. We do not have product liability insurance. We cannot assure you we could obtain insurance on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that even if we obtained insurance it would adequately cover a product liability claim. We are not aware of any pending or threatened product liability or other legal claim against us. Our business could be adversely affected if someone brings a product liability or other legal claim against us. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
