Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2003

1. Basis of Presentation

Avatech Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) provides design automation software, hardware, training, technical support and professional services to corporations, government agencies and educational institutions throughout the United States.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), which are, in management’s opinion, necessary to present a fair statement of results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avatech Solutions, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. One of the Company’s subsidiaries has issued and outstanding preferred stock, which is accounted for as minority interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its consolidated affiliated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Interpretation No. 45

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The interpretation addresses disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. It also clarifies that upon issuance of a guarantee a guarantor is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to certain guarantees issued or modified on or after January 1, 2003. The provisions that require recognition of a liability do not apply to a subsidiary’s guarantee of a parent company’s debt owed to a third party. The Company currently does not have any outstanding guarantees and therefore, the implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 45 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

FASB Interpretation No. 46

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The objective of FASB Interpretation No. 46 is to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. It requires variable interest entities to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The Company currently does not have any interests in variable interest entities and, therefore, the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 46 during 2003 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

FASB Statement No. 150

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires the issuer to classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of the standard as a liability if the financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 150, which did not have any impact on its financial position or results of operations.

3. Stock Options and Stock Granted to Employees

The Company records compensation expense for all stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recorded over the vesting period to the extent that the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant exceeds the exercise or acquisition price of the stock or stock-based award. Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (“Statement 123”) encourages companies to recognize expense for stock-based awards based on their estimated fair value on the date of grant. Statement 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma income and earnings per share data in the notes to the financial statement if the fair value method is not adopted.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

	Three Months Ended September 30,

4. Discontinued Operations of Certain Operating Segments

In June 2003, due to poor operating results, the Company closed a total of three offices located in New York, Michigan and Ohio. These locations were authorized software dealers subject to the Company’s channel partner agreement with its principal supplier. By virtue of these closings, the Company is no longer authorized to market or distribute software products subject to the channel partner agreements in those areas.

Additionally, the Company closed another office located in California in August 2003, which was also an authorized software dealer for which the Company is no longer authorized to market or distribute software products subject to the channel partner agreement with its principal supplier. In connection with the closing of the California office in August 2003, the Company did not incur a gain or loss.

The discontinued operations were components of the Company as the operations and cash flows were clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company. The operations and cash flows of the components have been eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company, and the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the components. Accordingly, the historical results of operations of these components are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a separate component of operations classified as discontinued operations.

Summarized operating results of the discontinued operations are as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,
	2002		2003
Revenue	$	525,223	$	51,485
Pre-tax income (loss)	$	46,117	$	(142,252	)

5. Debt and Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

On September 11, 2003, the Company entered into a revolving line-of-credit agreement with a financial institution which expires September 2006, but is payable within 60 days of demand by the lender. This line of credit replaced the borrowing facility for $2.0 million that previously existed. The credit extended under this financing agreement is limited to the lesser of $2.0 million or 75% of the Company’s aggregate outstanding eligible accounts receivable. The balance outstanding under this line-of-credit was $1.2 million at September 30, 2003. Borrowings under this line-of-credit bear interest at the higher of 7.5% or the prime rate plus 2.0% and are secured by the assets of the Company. In addition, the bank has the right to restrict any prepayment of other indebtedness by the Company.

On July 22, 2003, the Company entered into a marketing and channel distribution agreement with a software developer. Under this agreement, Avatech will provide marketing, distribution and related services for the developer’s products. In connection with this agreement, the software developer has agreed to fund certain marketing costs incurred by the Company. Additionally, the arrangement provides for a loan by the software developer to fund working capital needs related to the distribution of these products.

5. Debt and Gain on Extinguishment of Debt (continued)

The terms of the loan agreement provide for a loan of $1,500,000 funded in two payments. Initial funding of $1,000,000 occurred on July 25, 2003. The remaining $500,000 of funding is to be provided based on the Company meeting certain marketing and distribution milestones. The loan agreement provides for repayment of principal plus interest at 6% per annum in thirty-five equal quarterly installments commencing in January 2005. The Company is required to meet certain financial and non-financial covenants in connection with this agreement.

At June 30, 2002, the Company was obligated to one of its suppliers under a note agreement in the amount of $2.96 million, bearing interest at 6.5% per annum. In August 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to extinguish the outstanding $2.96 million debt for a cash payment of $1.0 million and compliance with certain non-financial covenants. The gain on the extinguishment of the debt of $1.96 million was recorded in August 2002.

6. Stockholders’ Deficit

	Preferred Stock			Common Stock			Additional Paid-in Capital			Accumulated Deficit			Total
	Number of Shares	Par Value		Number of Shares	Par Value
Balance at July 1, 2003	172,008	$	1,720	8,897,874	$	88,980	$	3,242,454		$	(9,307,351	)	$	(5,974,197	)

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2003											(503,476	)		(503,476	)
Balance at September 30, 2003	172,008	$	1,720	9,467,874	$	94,680	$	3,279,722		$	(9,810,827	)	$	(6,434,705	)

The Company’s board of directors authorized a three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend to be distributed to stockholders of record on September 15, 2003. All share and per share data included in the consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the stock split.

In July 2003, the Company issued 570,000 shares of restricted common stock with a quoted value of $0.163 per share, to certain officers as compensation. The common stock is restricted based on various vesting periods ranging from twelve to twenty-four months. Compensation expense for these awards is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The issuance resulted in compensation expense totaling $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share include the potential dilution that would occur from common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share are equal for all years presented because the assumed exercise of options and warrants is antidilutive.

The following summarizes the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three months Ended September 30,
	2002		2003
Numerator used in basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	925,959	$	(361,224	)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes		46,117		(142,252	)
Net income (loss)	$	972,076	$	(503,476	)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding		6,662,010		9,127,160
Earnings (loss) per common share:
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	0.14	$	(0.04	)
Income (loss) from operations of discontinued operations, net of income taxes		0.01	$	(0.02	)
Earnings (loss) per common share, basic and diluted	$	0.15	$	(0.06	)

8. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 was $393,000 and $11,000, respectively. In August 2002, the Company realized a $1.96 million taxable gain from the extinguishment of certain debt, which resulted in a net deferred tax asset of $373,000 being originally recorded at June 30, 2002. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded deferred income tax expense of $373,000 related to the estimated reduction in deferred tax assets in fiscal year 2003. This increase in deferred income tax expense, coupled with certain state tax expense, resulted in the additional income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, income tax expense related solely to estimated state income tax expense.

9. Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 2003, the Company incurred significant losses from its operations that depleted its capital resources. These losses were incurred primarily due to unexpected declines in revenue and losses and costs related to the acquisition of PlanetCAD Inc. In response, management has taken actions to close under-performing offices, significantly reduce overhead to improve operating efficiency, initiate new revenue programs and obtain additional financing. Management believes that the actions it has taken will allow the Company to aggressively pursue its business plan and return to profitability in the near term.

Based on an evaluation of the likely cash to be generated from operations in the near term and available capital resources, management believes that it has sufficient sources of working capital to fund its operations in the normal course of business through at least July 1, 2004.

These technology solutions enable our customers to enhance productivity, profitability and competitive position. We are one of the largest Autodesk software integrators worldwide and a leading provider of engineering document management solutions.

During 2003, we revised our growth strategy and began to focus on new ways of expanding our people resources, product offerings, and geographic “footprint.” We plan to increase our efforts to attract and employ highly qualified professionals in specialized areas throughout the organization, including salespeople, applications engineers, and software developers. Our portfolio of products and services has been expanded to include new relationships with other software manufacturers, additional service offerings, and continued development of new proprietary software products to support our entry into the product lifecycle management (PLM) market. Geographic expansion will be supported by targeted mergers and acquisitions, the opening of new locations, and expanded international product distribution relationships. This diversification strategy is intended to match our product and service offerings more precisely with the needs of our customers.

In June 2003, we closed three offices in New York, Michigan and Ohio due to operating performance issues. These locations were authorized software dealers subject to a channel partner agreement with our principal suppliers. In connection with the closure of these locations, we recognized a loss on disposal of approximately $179,000 in June 2003. Additionally, we closed another office located in California in August 2003, which was also subject to the same channel partner agreement. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, the results of operations of these operating units are treated as discontinued operations, and reported as a separate component of operating results in our consolidated statements of operations. Our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to 2003 have been restated to consistently present these operations as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are from continuing operations. We have included in Note 4 – Discontinued Operations of Certain Operating Segments to the Consolidated Financial Statements a more comprehensive discussion about our discontinued operations.

In July 2003, we entered into an Authorized Reseller Agreement with Dassault Systemès Corp., a French developer and distributor of PLM application software and services, whereby we will market and distribute Dassault’s SMARTEAM PLM products in the United States. In connection with this agreement, Dassault provided us with financial assistance to create a dedicated PLM sales force and related marketing efforts.

Product Sales. Our product sales consist primarily of the resale of packaged design software programs that are installed on a user workstation, on a local area network server, or in a hosted environment. The programs perform and support a wide variety of functions related to design, modeling, drafting, mapping, rendering, and facilities management tasks. We are one of the largest domestic resellers of design software developed by Autodesk, one of the world’s leading design software and digital content companies for building design and land development, manufacturing, utilities, telecommunications, wireless data services and digital media. Approximately 90% of the our total product revenues are related to Autodesk products.

Service Revenue. We also provide services in the form of training, technical support, and professional services. Our training offerings include product and process education classes at our training facilities or directly at a customer site. Our class instructors are application engineers who have formal training or industry experience in the course content.

We provide technical support services primarily through our telephone support center located in Omaha, Nebraska. Through our staff of full time consultants, we provide assistance to customers making inquiries concerning the software products that we sell.

We also provide project-focused professional consulting services through our own application engineers and programmers, as well as software customization, data migration, computer aided design standards consulting, workflow analysis, and implementation assistance for complex software products.

Commission Revenue. We generate commission revenue from the resale of Autodesk software to various customers, a number of which Autodesk considers to be “major accounts.” Autodesk designates these customers as major accounts based on specific criteria, primarily sales volume, and typically gives these customers volume discounts. We are responsible for managing and reselling Autodesk products to a number of these major account customers; however, software product is shipped directly from Autodesk to the customers. We receive commissions upon shipment of the product from Autodesk to the customer based on the product sales price, the product type, total volume, and overall performance.

Cost of Product Sales. Our cost of product sales consists of the cost of purchasing products from software suppliers or hardware manufacturers. Additionally, we include the associated shipping and handling costs in cost of product sales.

Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue includes the direct costs associated with the implementation of software and hardware solutions as well as training, support services, and professional services. These costs consist primarily of compensation, benefits, travel, and the costs of third-party contractors engaged by us. Cost of service revenue does not include an allocation of overhead costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and other expenses associated with management, finance, human resources, and information systems. Additionally, advertising and public relations expense, as well as expenses for facilities such as rent and utilities, are included in selling, general and administrative expense. Although selling, general and administrative expenses increased in 2003, we instituted a number of cost containment measures to align our selling, general and administrative expenses with our current revenue levels. First, we terminated approximately 30 employees in June 2003, which we expect to contribute approximately $1.9 million of reductions in salaries and employee benefits per year. And second, we reduced our professional fees, telephone, supplies, marketing, and travel expense related to the operations that were discontinued due to operating performance issues in June and August 2003. We considered these expense reduction measures necessary during the later part of fiscal 2003 to help reduce operating losses arising from the prolonged impact of the economic recession impacting the software industry.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense represents the period costs associated with our investment in property and equipment, consisting principally of computer equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method. Additionally, we lease all of our facilities and depreciate leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the asset.

Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our revolving line-of-credit and subordinated debt, which we incurred to fund operations over the past three years.

Critical Accounting Policies

General. Our consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies uses and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. Critical accounting policies and estimates that impact the consolidated financial statements are those that relate to software revenue recognition and estimates of bad debts. We discuss all of these critical accounting policies with our Audit Committee on a periodic basis. Presented below is a description of the accounting policies that are most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements.

Software Revenue Recognition. We derive most of our revenue from the resale of packaged software products. Our product sales may also include hardware that may be purchased for the convenience of our customers. Historically, we have not experienced significant customer returns. We earn service revenue from training and other professional services, which often are related to the products that we sell and these services are not essential to the functionality of the software. We offer annual support contracts to our customers for the software products that we sell, or we offer maintenance and support services under hourly billing arrangements.

We recognize revenue from software arrangements in accordance with the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP No 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. Prior to recognizing any revenue under these arrangements, (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement must exist, (2) delivery of the software or service must have occurred, (3) all fees must be assessed as fixed or determinable and (4) all fees must be probable of collection. We determine whether criteria (3) and (4) have been satisfied based on our judgment regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of such fee. Revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected if changes in conditions cause us to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions.

Our customer arrangements can involve the sale of one or more elements. When this occurs, we allocate revenue to each element based on the relative fair value of each element. We limit the assessment of fair value to the price that we charge when the element is sold separately. All of the elements included in the multiple element arrangements have been analyzed by management, which may include products that are resold, training and other professional services, and support services. We have determined that sufficient evidence of the fair value based on these separate sales exists to allocate revenue to the specified elements. We recognize training and other professional services revenue as services are delivered and recognize support revenue ratably over the respective contract term. We include all unrecognized fees that have been billed in our deferred revenue.

Bad Debts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses which may result from the inability of our customers to pay for purchased products and services or for disputes that affect our ability to fully collect our accounts receivable. We estimate this allowance by reviewing the status of our past-due accounts and record general reserves based on our historical bad debt expense. Our actual experience has not varied significantly from our estimates; however, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to pay for products or services, we may need to record additional allowances in future periods. To mitigate this risk, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers.

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Interpretation No. 45. In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The interpretation addresses disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. It also clarifies that upon issuance of a guarantee a guarantor is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to certain guarantees issued or modified on or after January 1, 2003. The provisions that require recognition of a liability do not apply to a subsidiary’s guarantee of a parent company’s debt owed to a third party. We currently do not have any outstanding guarantees and therefore, the implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 45 did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

14

FASB Interpretation No. 46. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The objective of FASB Interpretation No. 46 is to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. It requires variable interest entities to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. We currently do not have any interests in variable interest entities and, therefore, the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 46 during 2003 did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

FASB Statement No. 150. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires the issuer to classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of the standard as a liability if the financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Effective July 1, 2003, we adopted the provisions of Statement No. 150, which did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

Revenues. Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased $533,000, or 10%, to $5.9 million, compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2002. Our revenues include product sales, service revenue, and commission revenue. Overall, the gross margin percentage decreased to 40% in the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared to 45.7% in the same period in 2002. We attribute the reduced profit margin to the restructuring of Autodesk’s co-op program discussed below. For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, revenues in two of three categories – product revenue and service revenue – increased as a result of continuing to realign our sales organization and focus on being a full solution service provider for our customers.

Product sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased $398,000, or 12.8%, to $3.5 million, compared to $3.1 million in the same period in 2002. We attribute this increase in product sales to a restructuring of the sales force, a more focused management team and a stronger economic environment. The decrease in product margin is attributed to the increase in cost due to Autodesk’s restructuring of their co-op program. During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003, hardware sales decreased by $40,000 or 61%.

Service revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased $137,000, or 10.2%, to $1.5 million, compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2002. This increase in service revenue is a direct result of an increase in professional and technical support service contracts. We were engaged to perform professional services as part of a few large facilities management software implementation projects initiated in 2003.

Commission revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 decreased $1,800, or 0.2%, to $885,000, compared to $887,000 in the same period in 2002. The decrease in commission revenues resulted from Autodesk’s restructuring of the major account program and an industry-wide decrease in sales volume related to the associated software products.

Cost of Revenues and Expenses

Costs of Revenue. Cost of product sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased $424,000, or 20.6%, to $2.5 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2002. Cost of product sales as a percentage of related revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased to 70.8% from 66.2% in the same period in 2002. We attribute this increase in cost of product sales as a percentage of related revenues to Autodesk’s restructured co-op programs, which increased our cost of product sales as a percentage of related revenue by 5%. Autodesk then reimbursed us through product credits for our documented marketing expenses.

15

Cost of service revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased $220,000, or 26.2%, to $1.1 million compared to $839,000 for the same period in 2002. Cost of service revenue as a percentage of related revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 increased to 71.8% from 62.6% in the same period in 2002. We attribute this increase in cost of service revenue as a percentage of revenues primarily to our need to subcontract certain work to third party providers. During 2003, we were engaged to perform professional services as part of a few large facilities management software implementation projects. In order to provide the appropriate expertise and service the projects, we subcontracted some of this work to third party providers, which resulted in an increase in related the cost of service revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 decreased $386,000, or 13.4%, to $2.5 million, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2002. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of total revenues was 42.7% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, and 54.1% during the same period in 2002. We attribute the decrease in selling, general and administrative expense to the closing/restructuring of the offices, reduction of staff, and increased focus on operational efficiencies.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 decreased $47,000 or 41.1%, to $67,000, compared to $114,000 for the same period in 2002. Depreciation and amortization expense of property and equipment decreased as a result of reduced capital expenditures for computer equipment and software, an increase in the number of fully depreciated assets compared to the prior period and selling equipment when closing offices.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 decreased $ 2.0 million to $(105,000), compared to $1.9 million, for the same period in 2002. Included in other income for the 2002 period was a $2.0 million extinguishment of debt gain resulting from the payment to a significant supplier of $1.0 million in full satisfaction of a $3.0 million loan made to us by that supplier in 1999. This also resulted in a $16,000 reduction in interest expense in the quarter ended in 2003 compared to 2002.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $11,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to $393,000 for the same period in 2002. In August 2002, we realized a $2.0 million taxable gain from the extinguishment of certain debt (described above), which resulted in us recording a net deferred tax asset of $373,000 at June 30, 2002. In fiscal year 2003, we recorded deferred income tax expense of $373,000 related to the estimated reduction in deferred tax assets in 2003. This increase in deferred income tax expense coupled with certain state tax expense resulted in the additional income tax expense for 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily through cash flows provided by operations and borrowings under short-term and long-term debt arrangements. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, we incurred negative cash flow from operations of $(701,000), which is primarily attributed to a $(503,000) net loss plus $(399,000) of cash used for working capital.

Our operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory. Changes in these balances are affected principally by the timing of sales and investments in inventory based on expected customer demand. We minimize inventory levels through arrangements with suppliers to ship products with an average delivery period of two days and centralized inventory management. We purchase 90% of our product from one principal supplier which provides us with the ability to purchase up to $3.0 million of inventory under 60 to 90 day payment terms. As of September 30, 2003, our accounts receivable net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased by $576,000 or 17%. Day sales outstanding (DSO’s) in receivables decreased to 47 days at September 30, 2003 from 58 days at September 30, 2002. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to decreasing the amount of overdue accounts. Historically, we have been able to manage our DSOs in a range from 50 to 60 days. Our customary collection terms range from 30 to 60 days for all of our customers.

Current liabilities include $1.2 million of borrowings under a line-of-credit from a senior lender as well as $250,000 of subordinated notes and a $1.0 million note payable. On September 11, 2003, we entered into a new line of credit with a bank in an amount up to $2,000,000. Borrowings under this line-of-credit bear interest at the higher of 7.5% or the prime rate plus 2.0% and are limited to 75% of eligible accounts receivable. This line-of-credit expires in three years and is payable within 60 days of demand. Despite the existence of the 60-day demand provision on this line-of-credit, we do not consider the probability of the credit facility being called to be high.

16

In January 1999, we borrowed $3.0 million from a junior lender. In August 2002, we executed an agreement to extinguish the debt for a cash payment of $1.0 million and compliance with certain non-financial covenants. We borrowed $500,000 from each of PlanetCAD and an Avatech director and shareholder to make the cash payment. On November 19, 2002 Avatech completed its merger with PlanetCAD and the loan from PlanetCAD was eliminated in consolidation. The loan to the director and shareholder accrued simple interest at a rate of 15.0%, was due to mature on July 1, 2003, and was subordinate to our senior lender. On May 28, 2003, we issued $1.0 million of senior subordinated notes to the director and shareholder in exchange for $500,000 of additional cash and the cancellation of the $500,000 note issued in August 2002. These new notes accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with quarterly interest payments due commencing September 1, 2003, and mature on July 1, 2004.

We also had outstanding $1.6 million of 10% subordinated notes in 2002, and issued another $175,000 of 10% subordinated notes during 2003. The notes were to mature on July 1, 2003, and interest was payable quarterly until maturity or prepayment. In connection with the merger with PlanetCAD Inc. in November 2002, subordinated note holders owning an aggregate of $1.5 million of the subordinated notes exchanged their notes for 610,000 shares of preferred stock of a subsidiary. The remaining note holders agreed to extend the maturity dates on the $250,000 of remaining outstanding subordinated notes to January 1, 2004. As a result of these exchanges, we reduced our liabilities at June 30, 2003 by $1.5 million and improved our working capital position.

Our investing activities consist principally of investments in computer and office equipment. We acquired $394,000 in 2001, $259,000 in 2002 and $273,000 in 2003, and have no outstanding purchase commitments at September 30, 2003. In order to maintain current operations, we believe that our average annual outlay for investments in computer equipment and office furniture will be consistent with the previous three years.

During fiscal 2003, we instituted an expense reduction program which contributed to a $2.2 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expense. We considered these expense reduction measures necessary during the later part of fiscal 2003 to help reduce operating losses arising from the prolonged impact of the economic recession impacting the software industry. Additionally, we expect to reduce expenses by approximately $1.6 million due to the shut down and discontinuance of certain operating segments.

On July 22, 2003, we entered into a loan agreement with a software developer to borrow up to $1.5 million for working capital purposes. The loan is to be received in two payments with the initial funding of $1.0 million occurring on July 25, 2003 and the remaining $500,000 to be provided so long as we meet certain marketing and distribution milestones. The loan agreement requires repayment of principal plus interest at 6% per annum in thirty-five equal quarterly installments beginning in January 2005. We must meet certain financial and non-financial covenants in connection with this agreement.

Based on our evaluation of the likely cash expected to be generated from operations in the near term, available capital resources and the timing of cash payments to lenders, we believe that we have sufficient sources of working capital to fund our operations in the normal course of business through at least July 1, 2004.

Below is a summary of our contractual obligations and commitments at September 30, 2003:

	Payments due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		2004		2005		2006		2007		2008 and thereafter
Long-term debt and line-of-credit	$	3,428,845	$	1,453,968	$	1,032,019	$	114,286	$	114,286	$	714,286
Operating leases		1,783,492		586,328		466,226		348,217		326,292		56,429
Total obligations	$	5,212,337	$	2,040,296	$	1,498,245	$	462,503	$	440,578	$	770,715

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Avatech is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates associated with its variable rate line-of-credit facility. At September 30, 2003, approximately 35.1% of the Company’s outstanding debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, the Company’s earnings and cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and assuming a 100 basis point changes in the 2003 average interest rate under these borrowings, it is estimated that the Company’s 2003 interest expense and net income would have changed by less than $20,000. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management would likely take actions to further mitigate its exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the analysis assumes no such actions. Further, the analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. During the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, process, summarized and reported as and when required.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the evaluation date, and no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
