CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

PART I

Item 1 - Business

Camera Platforms International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ("Shotmaker"
or "the Company") designs, manufactures, rents and leases a wide variety of
production equipment to the film and video industries. The Company rents
three varieties of camera cars, Akela, Pegasus and Enlouva cranes, Panther
dollies, jib arms, and dolly track.

General

Shotmaker equipment has been used to film many of the top recent U.S. movies.
A partial list includes DAREDEVIL, TERMINATOR 3, CHARLIE'S ANGELS 2, LEGALLY
BLONDE 2, and SPIDERMAN. In addition, a number of prime time television
programs and series use Shotmaker equipment such as SCRUBS, FEAR FACTOR,
AMERICAN IDOL, C.S.I., AND J.A.G.

Products

The Shotmaker Camera Car fleet currently consists of 15 camera cars, which
include one Shotmaker "Elite Plus", four Shotmaker "Elites", one Shotmaker
"Premium Plus", two Shotmaker "Premiers", six Shotmaker "Classics" and one
Shotmaker "Standard". All the camera cars are based at the Company's
headquarters and rented throughout the Western United States except two cars
operating under a split rental agreement in New York City. Camera cars are
used in the motion picture, television and commercial industries to provide a
stable base for cameras to film action scenes.

The Shotmaker Elite Plus. In 2001 the Company converted an Elite camera
car to an Elite Plus camera car. A 200-amp AC fuel injected generator had
replaced the out-dated 500-amp DC generator and the 200-amp DC battery pack.
To lighten the car, the electric drive motor and rear steering capability was
removed. With the removal of these items the Elite Plus is more stabile and
responsive. The entire suspension system was modified to make for a smoother
ride. The Elite Plus still has the two-man or remote camera crane arm with a
maximum height of 23 feet and a front-mounted hydraulic platform that rises to
12 feet in height.

CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

The Shotmaker Elite. The Company has manufactured five top-of-the-line Elite
camera cars. The Elite is a custom-built camera car with numerous positions
for mounting cameras. The car contains a built-in foldaway two-man camera
crane with a maximum height of 23 feet. This crane can be in motion while
the car is moving at speeds up to 50 mph. The car also has a front-mounted
hydraulic platform that rises to 12 feet in height. There is a built-in
500-amp DC generator and a 200-amp DC battery pack. The car runs on both
gas and a silent electric drive. The Elite has a special air-ride suspension
system that minimizes camera movement, and a six-wheel configuration, which
allows the vehicle to crab sideways. The car is approximately 23 feet in
length and weighs approximately 22,000 lbs.

The Shotmaker Premier Plus. This is a modified Classic with a self-leveling
center post. The center post is adaptable to Technocrane, Enlouva, Pegasus,
and most other popular cranes in the industry. The Plus also offers a 200-amp
AC generator.

The Shotmaker Premier. The Company has modified some of its Classics by
adding a crane arm. The non-collapsible two-man or remote crane arm on the
Premier enables film crews to shoot action scenes while on the move from ground
level to 21 feet in height. With the addition of the Company's "Video Turret",
the Premier can be used for television productions, sporting events, parades
and other functions for which a light crane arm vehicle is required. The
Premier is approximately 22 feet in length and weighs approximately 15,000 lbs.

The Shotmaker Classic. Each Classic built by the Company has an auxiliary
camera platform that can be mounted on the front or sides of the Classic.
These cars do not have a built-in crane arm, but a standard portable crane can
be used on each vehicle. The Classic has three axles and air suspension for a
smooth and steady ride. The Classics also have independent 70-200-amp
AC/DC generators. The Classic has a self- leveling suspension system that
provides added stability. The Classic weighs approximately 11,000 lbs and
is approximately 22 feet in length.

The Shotmaker Standard. The Standard is a lightweight, two-axle insert car.
The Standard has a front platform, top of cab platform, and numerous positions
behind the cab for mounting cameras. Besides being a basic insert car, the
Standard can be used for high speed running shots.

Accessory Equipment. The Company rents accessory equipment, including tow
dollies and process trailers. Tow dollies are used to tow a car with its front
two wheels inches off the ground. Process trailers carry the entire car behind
the Shotmaker Camera Car on a platform, which can be expanded up to fourteen
feet wide. The Company has available a custom motorcycle towing device which
can tow two motorcycles side by side. The Company also offers remote heads,

5
CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

lamp heads and ballasts for use on its Shotmaker camera cars.

Shotmaker Dollies, Cranes and Accessories

Major items of equipment in the Dollies and Cranes rental fleet include: 19
dollies (13 Super Panthers and 3 Mini Panthers); 12 Pegasus cranes; 9 jib arms
(7 super Jibs and 2 Mini Jibs); 7 Akela cranes; 8 Enlouva cranes;
approximately 650 feet of tubular dolly track. The Company is aggressively
looking for new products to add to its rental fleet. Dollies are mobile
devices operating on tracks or wheels which proved a stable base for cameras
to film. Cranes are used in the motion picture, television and commercial
industries, both indoor and outdoors, to provide a base for cameras moving
from ground level to heights of as much as 85 feet.

Akela Cranes. Akela cranes are the longest and highest cranes available.
The Akela comes in three versions: Akela Plus (97' length), Akela Sr. (57'
to 84') and Akela Jr. (41' to 62'). The Akela offers the versatility of going
from ground level to six stories high in a single move, and substitutes for
many helicopter shots. The Company has seven Akela cranes in its rental
inventory. The cranes are located in California, Canada, and France.

Enlouva Cranes. In late 1996, the Company acquired exclusive worldwide rights
to manufacture, lease and sell Enlouva cranes. Enlouva cranes are used for
shots with remote heads allowing cameras to be controlled by an operator on the
ground. The Enlouva crane is a streamlined, compact crane that incorporates a
number of revolutionary design features. Manufactured from aircraft quality
aluminum, it is extremely lightweight, completely modular, and can be assembled
by two people in less than 15 minutes without tools. It is highly stable and
has a maximum lens height of over 26 feet. With a minimum overhead clearance
of less than seven feet, the unit can be used in areas inaccessible to other
cranes. It supports all 35mm, 16mm and video cameras, and can be used in
combination with most dolly and track systems, camera cars, boats and trains.
A small number of Enlouva III's are currently available for rent through the
Company's competitors or individual camera operators or grips. The Enlouva IV
incorporates a number of design improvements including a lighter fulcrum,
improved brakes, a smaller profile and an easier transport system. The Company
has completed the manufacturing of thirteen of these new generation of cranes.
The Company has eight Enlouva IV cranes in its rental fleet.

Panther Equipment. Panther's Pegasus Crane is the first fully convertible
camera crane that is lightweight, remarkably stable, and capable of being
assembled without tools. The Pegasus Crane can take a camera operator and a
fully loaded camera up to a 31-foot lens height, and can be swiftly converted
from a standard crane to a remote head crane with a lens height of over
36 feet.

The Super Panther Dolly is an electro-mechanical camera dolly used to mount a
film or video camera and up to two operators. Its innovative digital
electronics allow for precise vertical movements along its center-post column.
The ascent and descent of the column is operated by a hand-held remote control,
which allows the camera operator, dolly grip or camera assistant to move the
column. Built into the remote control is the capability to program up to 200
movements, which sequentially repeat the upward or downward movement, the rate

6
CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

of speed and the distance. The column supports two operators and a camera.
The Mini Panther Dolly is also an electro-mechanical dolly precisely operated
by digital electronics. The Mini Panther's column supports 175 lbs, whereas
the Super Panther supports over half a ton. While the Super Panther has five
variable speeds, the Mini Panther has one. The dolly rides two operators,
with the camera on the center post. The Mini also has interchangeable columns:
a motorized unit; a two-stage hand crank column; and a pneumatic version for
television studio work.

The Panther Super Jib is an arm, which is positioned on the center-post of the
Super Panther. The Super Jib is in fact a mini-crane, capable of taking a
camera operator and camera to a 12-foot lens height. The Super Jib can be
assembled in less than seven minutes, minimizing down time in production.
The Panther Mini Jib is a lightweight arm that floats a camera system.
The Mini Jib can be attached to any Panther dolly.

Marketing, Competition, Intellectual Property and Awards

Marketing. The Company's marketing efforts are primarily conducted by
direct sales efforts, limited advertisements in trade publications, and
participation in various trade exhibitions.

Competition. No other company currently owns a fleet of camera cars as
large or as sophisticated as the Company's. There are no other camera cars
currently on the market which have a built-in camera crane, hydraulic front
platform and the towing capability of the Company's Elites. Management
believes the Company is the industry leader for manufacturing and leasing
camera cars and mobile camera cranes. However, in recent years several small
fleets of camera cars have emerged, which include AC electricity availability
and greater generator power, which have affected the Company's rental
revenues.

Two firms, Chapman and J. L. Fisher, Inc. ("Fisher"), dominate the rental
for dollies. Chapman and Fisher are both participants in the rental market for
cranes, but no single competitor is dominant in crane rentals. Both Chapman
and Fisher are Los Angeles-based companies that are engaged exclusively in the
rental and leasing business. Shotmaker is the third largest dolly and crane
company in the United States. There are also a number of smaller competitors,
usually offering one or more specialized niche products.

The former owners of the Akela crane have built a competitive crane called
the Strada with essentially the same characteristics as the Akela Senior.
The introduction and marketing of the Strada has been a significant factor
in the reduction in Akela crane revenues.

Patents and Trademarks. The Company has registered THE SHOTMAKER, AKELA, and
ENLOUVA as trademarks in the United States, Canada, and Japan. Panther GmbH,
an unrelated company, holds all patents and trademarks on its Panther products.

Awards. During 1997, the Company received the Society of Operating Cameramen's
technical achievement award for its Elite camera car. The Company received a
Scientific and Engineering Award in 1986 from the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts & Sciences for the development of the Elite Camera Car. In 1991, the

7
CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

division was also honored with a Primetime Emmy Award from the Television
Academy of Arts & Sciences for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering.
The Super Panther dolly received the 1990 Scientific and Engineering Award
from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Employees. The Company had 5 employees at March 10, 2003. The Company is
not a party to any collective bargaining agreements and its employees are not
represented by a labor union.

Item 2 - Properties

The Company's principal executive offices and place of business are located
at 10909 Vanowen Street, North Hollywood, California 91605. The premises are
leased and subleased from unaffiliated third parties for a gross rent of
$154,000 per year, including common area maintenance and utilities,
property tax, and insurance. The Company's lease expires on June 30, 2007.

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings

The Company is not currently party to any legal proceedings.

Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2002.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
REFORM ACT OF 1995.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes certain forward-looking statements
based upon management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by and data
currently available to management. This information has been, or in the future,
may be included in reliance on the "safe harbor" provision of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following:
adverse developments with respect to the Company's liquidity or results of
operations; the ability of the Company to obtain products and services and
negotiate terms with vendors and service providers for current orders; the
ability to develop, fund and execute an operating plan for the Company; the
ability of the Company to attract and retain employees; competitive pressures
from other camera car companies and grip equipment rental companies which may
affect the nature and viability of the Company's business strategy; the
ability of the Company to attract and retain customers; and the absence of
an active public trading market for the Company's common stock.

Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in any such
forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or
circumstances.

Overview

The Notes to the Financial Statements are an integral part of
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and should be read in conjunction herewith.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has secured a $250,000 revolving line of credit from its secured
lender DOOFF, LLC. The Company had $25,000 and $48,000 of undrawn funds
available at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 respectively. In
addition, the Company has failed to make interest payments totaling $167,000
to DOOFF, LLC. It is expected, but not certain, that ongoing operations together
with funds available under this credit line will provide sufficient cash to meet
the Company's ongoing obligations as they become due. If sufficient funds are
not available, the Company may be required to curtail or cease operations.

STOCK OPTIONS

On July 1, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan to
provide for the issuance of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock
options as a means of attracting, motivating and retaining directors, officers
and key employees and consultants of the Company.

Concurrent with the adoption of the 2001 Stock Option, the Board of Directors
authorized the issuance of options to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's

11
CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

stock to each of the Company's five directors. The options were priced at
$0.11, which was above the market price of the Company's stock at the date
of issuance.

Results of Operations

2002 versus 2001

In 2002, revenues decreased by $134,000, or approximately 15%, as compared
with 2001. The largest decrease, $52,000 is attributable to reduced
rental days for the Company's Akela cranes. Beginning in 2001, the
individuals from whom the Company acquired the Akela cranes have
introduced and marketed for rental new cranes which compete directly
with the Akela. In addition, continued "runaway production", that is,
production moving outside the United States, has particularly affected
the Company's Akela rentals. Although located throughout the United
States, the cranes are difficult and expensive to move to a remote
location for a single production usage. In addition to the reduced
revenues from Akela crane rentals, dolly and standard crane rentals
also declined by $35,000, or about 17%.

Costs of rentals decreased by 3%, due primarily to lower depreciation
expense. The gross negative margin decreased by 38% as primarily
fixed costs were applied to a reduced revenue base.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $46,000 from 2001,
primarily due to reduced payroll.

2001 versus 2000

The tragedy of September 11, 2001 adversely affected all television, feature
and commercial production throughout the nation. The terrorist action
negatively affected the Company's revenues during the third and fourth
quarters of 2001. In addition, continued loss of production days in Los
Angeles to Canada for feature film and commercials has contributed to a
general decline in business. Total revenues decreased by 14% from 2000.
Most of the decrease came from dolly and crane rentals. Camera cars rental
revenues were down 3% from 2000.

Cost of rentals decreased by 6% because of continued cost management.
Depreciation of equipment accounted for 52% of rental costs. The gross
negative margin on rentals increased from -$180,000 to -$248,000 because of
a high amount of fixed versus variable rental costs. Rental activities
generated a positive gross margin before depreciation of $359,000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $86,000 from 2000.
Payroll decreased by $55,000 and advertising costs decreased by $31,000.

2000 versus 1999

The prolonged SAG - AFTRA strike, which impacted production of television
commercials in Southern California negatively affected the Company's revenues
during 2000. Total rental revenues decreased by 15% from 1999. Camera car
rentals decreased by 7%; dolly and crane rentals decreased by 19% and Akela
crane rentals decreased by 27% from 1999.

Product sales ceased to be a source of revenue for the Company in 2000. The
Company failed to reach a new agreement with Panther (Germany) to distribute
its dollies, cranes, parts and accessories. Completion of the first order of
the Company's hydraulic dolly was once again delayed; delivery was expected
in mid or late 2001. The Company has since abandoned the hydraulic dolly
program.

Costs of rentals decreased by 5%. Depreciation of equipment accounted for
51% of rental costs. The gross negative margin on rentals increased from
- -$64,000 to -$180,000; however, because of depreciation, rental activities
generated a positive gross margin before depreciation of $448,000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $490,000 to
$369,000. Legal and accounting expenses were reduced by $205,000 as a result
of the large expenses recognized in 1999 related to the Company's bankruptcy
filing. Payroll and related expenses decreased by $152,000. There were
across-the-board decreases in costs of occupancy, insurance, supplies and
utilities.

Interest expense was reduced from $505,000 to $168,000 as a result of the
debt restructuring achieved by the reorganization.

12
CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

The Company recognized a $1,633,000 gain as a result of the restructuring
of its pre-petition debt pursuant to the Reorganization Plan. In addition,
it recognized a $235,000 gain from discontinued operations, resulting from
an insurance settlement received on a claim for inventory losses associated
with the Company's former operations in Nashville/Atlanta.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's operations to date,
and the Company believes it will not have a material effect on operations in
the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Transactions

All international sales are denominated and remitted in U.S. dollars, and
all foreign transactions are settled within a short period of time.
Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that foreign currency fluctuations
will have a material effect on operations in the next twelve months.

13
CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company owns no financial instruments or other assets, nor has it entered
into any contracts or commitments, which would expose it to market risks such
as interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity
price risk as required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 305,
of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, as amended.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
Camera Platforms International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Camera
Platforms International, Inc. (the "Company") as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Camera Platforms
International, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations, negative cash flows from operations, and has a net capital
deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Managment's plans with regard to these matters are
also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have also audited the Schedules of Valuation and Qualifying Accounts for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. In our
opinion, these schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be set forth therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2002

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Camera Platforms International, Inc. ("CPI" or the "Company"), was organized in
the state of Delaware in 1985 to engage in the business of leasing camera cars
and other related equipment to motion picture and television production
companies. The Company designs, manufactures, rents and leases a wide variety
of production equipment to the film and video industries.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis of accounting which contemplates continuity of operations, realization
of assets, liabilities, and commitments in the normal course of business.
The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that
might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's losses, negative cash flows from operations and its working
capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern and the appropriateness of using the going
concern basis, which is dependent upon, among other things, an additional
cash infusion. The Company is currently negotiating an increase in the
amount of credit provided by DOOFF LLC. Management believes that this
increase should provide the additional cash required for the Company's
operations and the meeting of its obligations.

PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

On June 18, 2000, the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of
California, San Fernando Valley Division ("Bankruptcy Court") entered an order
confirming the Company's second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the
"Reorganization Plan"). On June 29, 2000, the Reorganization Plan became
effective and the Company emerged from bankruptcy reorganization proceedings.
Those proceedings began on September 17, 1999 when an involuntary petition was
filed by certain creditors for relief under the Chapter 7 or 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, DOOFF, LLC, the Company's secured and
largest unsecured creditor, received 49.9% of the total outstanding shares of
the Company's common stock after the adoption of the Reorganization Plan.
The Company's previous largest shareholder, Shotmaker Acquisition Corp.,
surrendered 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company. General unsecured
creditors received one share of common stock of the Company for each $2.00 in
allowed claims. Liabilities subject to compromise in an adjusted amount of
$5,126,000 before the above conversion, were converted into 2,488,034 shares
of common stock. In total, the Company issued 13,972,736 and redeemed 4,000,000
shares of common stock as part of the Reorganization Plan.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company recognized a gain of
$1,633,000 and a contribution of capital of $3,493,000 related to the
restructuring of certain pre-petition debt pursuant to the Plan.

The Reorganization Plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court increased the
authorized number of common shares to 100,000,000.

On August 1, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court issued its Final Decree Pursuant to
Section 350 of the Bankruptcy Court, recognizing the completion of the
execution of the Reorganization Plan by the Company, ending the Bankruptcy
case and removing the Company from oversight by the Bankruptcy Court.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

See independent auditors' report

21

CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2002

Leasing Operations

The Company's leasing operations consist of operating leases
on a variety of equipment types, primarily camera cars, dollies and cranes,
and other accessories.

Under the operating lease method of accounting, the leased asset is recorded
at cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life, using periods ranging
from three to ten years. Rental payments are recognized as revenue as they
become due under the terms of the operating lease agreements.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization is generally determined using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the property and
equipment, using periods ranging from three to ten years.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments held at financial
institutions with maturity dates of three months or less at the time of
acquisition to be cash equivalents.

See independent auditors' report

22
CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2002

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Per Share Data

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which establishes new standards for computing
and presenting basic and diluted earnings per share. Adoption of SFAS No. 128
does not have a material effect on the computation or presentation of per share
data in the accompanying financial statements.

The basic income (loss) per share is calculated based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted income (loss)
per share is calculated based upon the weighted average of shares of common
stock outstanding and shares that would have been outstanding assuming the
issuance of common stock for all dilutive potential common stock outstanding.
The Company's outstanding stock options have not been included in the
calculation of the weighted average shares of common stock as they would have
an antidilutive effect.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's customers are principally engaged in the production of motion
pictures or television programming, or are suppliers to such companies. Credit
is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition.
Receivables arising from the granting of credit under normal trade terms are
generally due within 30 to 90 days and are generally not collateralized. From
time to time, the Company grants extended terms, which are generally
collateralized by a security interest in the products sold. Collections of
accounts receivable have consistently been within management's expectations.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs over the period it benefits, generally
12 months. Advertising costs expensed totaled $10,000, $26,000, and $22,000
for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, and were
recorded as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. At December
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 advertising costs capitalized, primarily related to
magazine ads and exhibition costs amounted to $0, $7,000 and $11,000,
respectively.

Equipment Leases

The Company's leasing operations consist primarily of short-term rentals of
camera cars, camera dollies and cranes. These rentals generally range from

See independent auditors' report
23
CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2002

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

one day to several weeks in duration, with occasional rentals of several
months. None of the rentals are noncancelable leases, and no contingent
rentals are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", but applies APB No. 25 and
related interpretations in accounting for options granted under its plan.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company's management estimates the valuation for doubtful accounts, rental
asset valuation allowance and the useful lives of property and equipment.
Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be
material to the consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

In 2001, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfer and
Services of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities", and FASB
No. 141, "Business Combinations" with no material impact on the financial
statements.

In 2002, the Company adopted FASB No. 142, "Goodwill and other Intangible
Assets"and FASB No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets:. These pronouncements had no material effect on the
Company's financial statements.

Starting in 2003, the Company is also subject to the provision of FASB No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This new pronouncement is
expected to have no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

The Company operates in a single business segment. The Company leases and
rents equipment for the motion picture, television and theatrical production
and music industries.

During 2001, $108,000 of equipment that were previously presented as
inventory and $71,000 of parts previously presented as prepaid expenses
were reclassified as equipment available for lease.

During 2001, equipment on lease with a cost of $87,000 and accumulated
depreciation of $72,000 was stolen. The Company negotiated a settlement
with its insurance company and was awarded $75,000. This amount was recorded
as a receivable at December 31, 2001 and the Company recognized a gain on
disposal of assets of $60,000. $70,000 of the amount was collected in 2002.

Accumulated depreciation and amortization pertaining to equipment available
for lease amounted to $5,850,000 and $5,279,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company repossessed
equipment as settlement for an outstanding balance receivable of $42,000.

4. LONG TERM DEBT AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Long term debt consists of (1) a $1,500,000 term loan, interest only payable
monthly at 10% maturing June 2010, secured by all the assets of the Company
and (2) a $250,000 revolving line of credit, interest only payable monthly at
10%, maturing June 2005 and also secured by all the assets of the Company.
The balance outstanding on this line of credit was $225,000 and $202,000 at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These loans are with DOOFF, LLC.
Two directors and principal shareholders of the Company are also principals
of DOOFF, LLC. As of December 31, 2002, the Company was $167,000 in arrears
in its interest payments to DOOFF, LLC. due under the terms of these loans.

5. INCOME TAXES

The Company utilizes the liability method under SFAS No. 109 to account for
income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and
laws expected to apply when the differences are expected to reverse.

At December 31, 2002, the Company has net operating loss-carry forwards of
approximately $25 million for federal tax purposes, which expire from 2006
to 2022. Because of statutory "ownership changes" the amount of net operating
losses which may be utilized in future years are subject to significant annual
limitations. The Company also has operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $3 million for California tax purposes, which expire from 2003
to 2012.

At December 31, 2002, total deferred tax assets, consisting principally of
net operating loss carryforwards, amounted to approximately $9 million. For
financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has been recognized in an
amount equal to such deferred tax assets due to the uncertainly surrounding
their ultimate realization.

The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate principally
due to the valuation allowance recognized due to the uncertainty surrounding
the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets, and the fact that the gain
on restructuring of debt recorded in 2000 was not taxable.

6. COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS

During 2000, a creditor holding convertible debt of $150,000 converted its note
into 600,000 shares of common stock at an agreed conversion price of $0.25 per
share.

Options are executory contracts as defined by the Bankruptcy Code, and are
subject to acceptance or rejection by the Company. The Company rejected all
stock option contracts except for one agreement providing for 1,100,000 shares
at $.25 per share, expiring in June 2003. These options became exercisable at
the approval date of the Reorganization Plan by the Court. Options were granted
under the Reorganization Plan at not less than the fair market value of the
stock on the date of grant.

Stock options to purchase shares of common stock were granted to certain
officers, key employees and consultants as follows:



Options Outstanding
Shares Weighted Avg. Exercise
Price


Outstanding at January 1, 2001 1,100,000 $0.25
Granted 1,500,000 $0.11
Exercised -- --

---------- -----
Outstanding at December 31, 2001 2,600,000 $0.17

Exercised -- --
Terminated or expired 1,100,000 $0.25
--------- -----
Outstanding at December 31, 2002 1,500,000 $0.11
========= =====


There are 1,500,000 options exercisable at December 31, 2002, and the weighted
average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding is 5.5 years.

SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires pro forma
information regarding net income (loss)using compensation that would have
been incurred if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the
fair value in accordance with that statement. The fair value of options
granted, which as been estimated at $0 at the date of the grant, was
determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following
assumptions:

Risk free interest rate 4.76%
Stock volatility factor .3
Weighted average expected option life 7 years
Expected dividend yield 0


7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease

On July 1, 2002 the Company entered into the five year option period on
the lease of its premises. The lease expense increases annually based on a
cost of living index and the Company is also responsible for common area
maintenance charges, utilities, property taxes and insurance.
Rent expense with respect to this lease was approximately $154,000
and $150,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Future minimum rental payments for the next five years are as follows:

Year ending December 31:

2003 $159,000
2004 $164,000
2005 $169,000
2006 $174,000
2007 $180,000

8. SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

No revenue derived from a single customer accounted for more than ten percent
of total revenue during 2002, 2001, or 2000. No geographic area outside the
United States accounted for more than ten percent of total sales during the
last three years.

9. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management has determined that the estimated fair value of the Company's
financial instruments approximates the carrying amount of such financial
instruments in all material respects as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.


10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In 2000, the Company received an insurance settlement of $235,000 on a claim
for inventory losses associated with the Company's former operations in
Nashville/Atlanta in 1998.
