PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Corniche Group Incorporated ("the Company") was a provider of extended
warranties and service contracts via the Internet at warrantysuperstore.com
through June 30, 2002.

HISTORY

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
September 1980 under the name Fidelity Medical Services, Inc. On July 28, 1983
the Company changed its name to Fidelity Medical, Inc. From its inception
through March 1995, the Company was engaged in the development and sale of
medical imaging products through a wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of a
reverse merger on March 2, 1995 with Corniche Distribution Limited and its
subsidiaries the Company was engaged in the retail sale and wholesale
distribution of stationery and related office products in the United Kingdom.
Effective March 25, 1995 the Company sold its medical imaging products
subsidiary. On September 28, 1995 the Company changed its name to Corniche Group
Incorporated. In February 1996, the Company's United Kingdom operations were
placed in receivership by their creditors. Thereafter through March 1998 the
Company was inactive. On March 4, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement with certain individuals (the "Initial Purchasers") whereby
the Initial Purchasers acquired in aggregate 765,000 shares of a newly created
Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. Thereafter the Initial
Purchasers endeavored to establish for the Company new business operations in
the property and casualty specialty insurance and warranty/service contracts
markets. On September 30, 1998 the Company acquired all of the capital stock of
Stamford Insurance Company, Ltd. ("Stamford"). On April 30, 2001 the Company
sold Stamford and is no longer involved in property and casualty specialty
insurance.

As previously reported, on January 7, 2002, the Company entered into a Stock
Contribution Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") and a Supplemental
Disclosure Agreement (together with the Exchange Agreement, the "Agreements")
with StrandTek International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("StrandTek"),
certain of StrandTek's principal shareholders and certain non-shareholder loan
holders of StrandTek (the "StrandTek Transaction"). The Exchange Agreement was
amended on February 11, 2002. Consummation of the StrandTek Transaction was
conditioned upon a number of closing conditions, including the Company obtaining
financing via an equity private placement, which ultimately could not be met and
as a result, the Agreements were formally terminated by the Company and
StrandTek in June 2002.




DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Through April 2001 the Company operated a property and casualty reinsurance
business through its wholly owned subsidiary, Stamford Insurance Company, Ltd.
("Stamford"). Stamford is chartered under the laws of, and is licensed to
conduct business as an insurance company by, the Cayman Islands. Stamford
provided reinsurance coverage for one domestic insurance company until the
fourth quarter of 2000 when the relationship with the carrier was terminated.
Stamford was not able to obtain any additional reinsurance relationships. In
light of the inability of Stamford to write new business and difficulty in
forecasting future claims losses in the run off of its prior reinsurance
contract, on April 30, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
sale of Stamford to Butler Financial Solutions, LLC for a consideration totaling
$372,000. In the six months ended June 30, 2001 the Company recorded a loss of
approximately $479,000 on the sale of Stamford. The closing and transfer of
funds was completed on July 6, 2001.

CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The business of the Company today comprises the "run off" of its sale of
extended warranties and service contracts via the Internet and the new business
opportunity it is pursuing as described below under the sub-heading "Recent
Developments".

WarrantySuperstore.com Internet Business

The Company's primary business focus, through June 2002, was the sale of
extended warranties and service contracts over the Internet covering automotive,
home, office, personal electronics, home appliances, computers and garden
equipment. The Company offered its products and services in the United States in
states that permit program marketers to be the obligor on service contracts.
This represented approximately 38 states for automobile service contracts and
most states for other product categories. While the Company managed most
functions relating to its extended warranty and service contracts, it did not
bear the economic risk to repair or replace products nor did it administer the
claims function. The obligation to repair or replace products rested with the
Company's appointed insurance carriers, Great American Insurance Company and
American Home Shield. Great American Insurance Company provided contractual
liability insurance covering the obligation to repair or replace products under
the Company's automobile and consumer products extended warranties and service
contracts and American Home Shield covered all home warranty contracts. The
Company was responsible for the marketing, recording sales, collecting payment
and reporting contract details and paying premiums to the insurance carriers. In
addition the Company provided information to the insurance carriers' appointed
claims administrators who handle all claims under the Company's contracts,
including the payment of claims.

The Company commenced operations initially by marketing its extended warranty
products directly to the consumer through its web site. During fiscal 2000 the
Company developed enhanced proprietary software to facilitate more efficient
processing and tracking of online warranty transactions. This provided the
Company with the ability to deliver its products over the Internet through a
number of distribution channels by enabling it to supply a number of different
extended warranty service contracts on a co-branded or private label basis to
corporations, by embedding the Company's suite of products on such corporations
web sites. This new capability was launched in January 2001. It was anticipated
that this would result in substantially reduced direct marketing costs for the
years ending December 31, 2001 and thereafter. As a result the Company had four
distinct distribution channels: (i) direct sales to consumers, (ii) co-branded
distribution, (iii) private label distribution and (iv) manufacturer/retailer
partnerships.

During the first half of fiscal 2001, management became concerned by the slow
progress being made by its warrantysuperstore.com business. Accordingly,
alternative strategies for the Company were evaluated by the Board of Directors,
including the acquisition of new business operations. As a result the Company
entered into the StrandTek Transaction but, as previously reported, the closing
conditions were not met and the Agreements were terminated by written agreement
between the parties. In June 2002, management determined, in light of continuing



operating losses, to discontinue its warranty and service contract business and
to seek new business opportunities for the Company.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On February 6, 2003, the Company appointed Mark Weinreb as a member of the Board
of Directors and as its President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company and
Mr. Weinreb had been exploring business plans for the Company that may involve,
under the name "Phase III Medical, Inc.", entering the medical sector by
acquiring or participating in one or more biotech and/or medical companies or
technologies, owning one or more drugs or medical devices that may or may not
yet be available to the public, or acquiring rights to one or more of such drugs
or medical devices or the royalty streams therefrom. Mr. Weinreb was appointed
to finalize and execute the Company's new business plan. The Company will need
to recruit management, business development and technical personnel, and develop
its business model. Accordingly, it will be necessary for the Company to raise
new capital. There can be no assurance that any such business plan developed by
the Company will be successful, that the Company will be able to acquire such
new business or rights or raise new capital, or that the terms of any
transaction will be favorable to the Company.

RISK FACTORS

The risks described below are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional
risks that the Company does not yet know of or that it currently thinks are
immaterial may also impair its business operations. If any of the risks occur,
its business strategy, financial condition or operating results could be
adversely affected.

CORNICHE HAS A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND A SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATED
EARNINGS DEFICIT AND IT MAY CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES.

Since its inception in 1980, the Company has generated only limited revenues
from sales and has incurred substantial net losses of approximately $1.2
million, $2.1 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000 respectively. At December 31, 2002, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $9.7 million. The Company expects to incur additional
operating losses as well as negative cash flow from its new business operations.

THE COMPANY HAS LIQUIDITY PROBLEMS.

The Company has, as of the date hereof, only one asset in the form of notes
receivable in the principal sum of $1,250,000 which is the subject of legal
proceedings to recover. Recovery is being contested. While the Company recently
was awarded partial summary judgment on its principal claims, no assurances can
be given that the Company will be able to collect on any judgment obtained. The
Company has effectively no cash and it had current liabilities totaling
approximately $756,000, excluding accrued preferred stock dividends totaling
$385,512, as of December 31, 2002. While approximately $524,000 of such
liabilities have been deferred by written agreement dated February 6, 2003
against a pledge of the proceeds from the note receivable, the Company still has
liabilities of approximately $232,000 currently due and no cash to settle them.

THE COMPANY WILL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE CASH OUTFLOWS.

The Company continues to incur expenses, including the salary of its new
president, rent, legal and accounting fees, insurance and general administrative
expenses. The Company's new business activities are in development stage and
will therefore result in additional cash outflows in the coming period. While
the Company commenced a $250,000 debt offering in March 2003 it will need
additional equity to fund its current liabilities and its on-going cash needs
for working capital and to develop its planned business operations. There can be
no assurance that it will be successful in such debt offering or in raising
additional equity or that such financing activities will generate sufficient
funds to satisfy the Company's needs. Additionally, it is not possible at this
time to state when the



Company will achieve a positive cash position, if at all.

THE COMPANY'S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAY IMPAIR ITS ABILITY TO PLAN.

The Company's limited operating history in its planned business activities may
hinder its ability to evaluate its business and entails risks that the Company
may fail to adequately address business issues with which it has limited
experience. There is no way to predict when, if ever, the Company will achieve
profitability or positive cash flow.

BECAUSE OF ITS FINANCIAL POSITION, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT ITS ABILITY
TO OPERATE AS A GOING CONCERN.

The Company has no cash generating revenues. As of December 31, 2002, the
Company had a capital deficiency of $823,895 and had a working capital
deficiency of $1,081,843, excluding notes receivable from StrandTek. Although
the Company recently raised $50,000 in a debt offering, those funds have been
substantially spent and the Company's financial condition still raises
substantial doubt about its ability to operate as a going concern.

THE COMPANY WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND IS UNCERTAIN OF ITS ACCESS TO
CAPITAL FUNDING.

The Company's proposed new business will require substantial capital to identify
and make alliances with one or more pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology
companies based on the Company's current operating plan for its new business. In
addition, the Company's cash requirements may vary materially from those now
planned because of results in research, consulting with experts and modeling
sales forecasts for the potential products of potential business partners.

RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED NEW BUSINESS:

THE COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS PARTNERS TO DATE AND IS UNCERTAIN OF ITS
FUTURE PROFITABILITY WITH ITS INTENDED VENTURE TO GENERATE REVENUES FROM SUCH
RELATIONSHIPS.

The Company's ability to achieve profitability in its new business is dependent
in part on the agreements, if any, entered into with business partners. There
can be no assurance that such agreements will be entered into. The failure to
enter into any such necessary agreements could delay or prevent the Company's
new business from achieving profitability and would have a material adverse
effect on the business, financial position and results of operations of the
Company. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company's operations will
become profitable even if the Company enters into agreements with business
partners.

THERE ARE RISKS RELATING TO POTENTIAL CORPORATE COLLABORATIONS.

The Company's new business strategy includes identifying and partnering with
various pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology companies who are developing a drug
or medical device. There can be no assurance the Company will enter into any
relationships with these business partners and, even if the Company does enter
into such relationships, that the arrangements will be on favorable term or that
our relationship will be successful. In some cases the Company will generate
income from its relationship with these companies only after its potential
business partners' product has achieved significant pre-clinical and/or clinical
development, has procured requisite regulatory approvals and/or has established
its manufacturing capabilities.

The Company's potential business partners' business strategy may include
entering into collaborations or marketing and distribution arrangements with
corporate partners for the development (including clinical development),
commercialization, marketing and distribution of certain of their product
candidates. The Company's potential business partners may be dependent on such
corporate collaborations to fund clinical testing, to make certain



regulatory filings and to manufacture and market products resulting from the
collaboration. There can be no assurance that such arrangements with a corporate
collaboration will be scientifically, clinically or commercially successful. In
the event that any such arrangements are made and then terminated, such actions
could adversely affect the Company's business partners' ability to develop,
commercialize, market and distribute certain of their product candidates.

If the Company's potential business partners breach or terminate their
agreements with the Company, or fail to develop or commercialize their products
or fail to develop or commercialize their products in a timely manner, the
development of their products may be adversely affected, and thus not create an
economic benefit for the Company.

There can be no assurance that the Company's potential business partners will
not change their strategic focus or pursue alternative technologies or develop
alternative products either on their own or in collaboration with others. The
Company's business will also be affected by the effectiveness of its potential
business partners' corporate partners in marketing their products.

THERE ARE COMPANIES, UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS THAT MAY BE
RESEARCHING AND TRYING TO DEVELOP PRODUCTS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE PRODUCTS OF
THE COMPANY'S POTENTIAL BUSINESS PARTNERS.

Competition in the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, the
sector in which the Company plans to establish new business operations, is
intense. The Company's potential business partners may face competition from
companies with far greater financial, marketing, technical and research
resources, name recognition, distribution channels and market presence than the
Company's potential business partners who are marketing existing products or
developing new products that are similar to the products developed by the
Company's potential business partners. There can be no assurance that the
Company's potential business partners' products will be able to compete
successfully with existing products or products under development by other
companies, universities and other institutions.

THE COMPANY'S POTENTIAL BUSINESS PARTNERS MAY DEPEND ON THIRD PARTIES.

The Company's potential business partners may rely entirely on third parties for
a variety of functions, including certain functions relating to research and
development, manufacturing, clinical trials management, regulatory affairs and
sales, marketing and distribution. There can be no assurance that the Company's
potential business partners will be able to establish and maintain any of these
relationships on acceptable terms or enter into these arrangements without undue
delays or expenditures.

THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH PRE-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTING.

The grant of regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of any of the
Company's potential business partners' potential products will depend in part on
the Company's potential business partners and/or their collaborators
successfully conducting extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing to
demonstrate their products safety and efficacy in humans. The results of
pre-clinical studies by the Company's potential business partners and/or their
collaborators may be inconclusive and may not be indicative of results that will
be obtained in human clinical trials. In addition, results attained in early
human clinical trials relating to the products under development by the
Company's potential business partners may not be indicative of results that will
be obtained in later clinical trials. As results of particular pre-clinical
studies and clinical trials are received, the Company's potential business
partners and/or their collaborators may abandon projects with which the Company
assisted in developing which they might otherwise have believed to be promising.

The Company's potential business partners may be involved in developing drugs on
which they plan to file investigational new drug applications ("INDs") with the
FDA or make equivalent filings outside of the United



States. There can be no assurance that necessary pre-clinical studies on these
products will be completed satisfactorily, if at all, or that the Company's
potential business partners otherwise will be able to make their intended
filings. Clinical testing is very expensive, and the Company's potential
business partners and/or their collaborators will have to devote substantial
resources for the cost of clinical trials.

The Company's potential business partners may have no experience in conducting
clinical trials and may have to rely, in part, on academic institutions and on
clinical research organizations to conduct and monitor certain clinical trials.
There can be no assurance that such entities will conduct the clinical trials
successfully.

Failure to commence or complete any planned clinical trials by the Company's
potential business partners would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's new business.

THE COMPANY'S POTENTIAL BUSINESS PARTNERS AND THEIR PRODUCTS WILL BE SUBJECT TO
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF REGULATORY APPROVAL.

The Company's potential business partners and their products will be subject to
comprehensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and by comparable
authorities in other countries. These national agencies and other federal,
state, and local entities regulate, among other things, the pre-clinical and
clinical testing, safety, effectiveness, approval, manufacture, labeling,
marketing, export, storage, record keeping, advertising, and promotion of the
Company's potential business partners' products.

The process of obtaining FDA approvals can be costly, time consuming, and
subject to unanticipated delays and the Company's potential business partners
may have had only limited experience in filing and pursuing applications
necessary to gain regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that such
approvals will be granted on a timely basis, or at all.

The Company's potential business partners may also be subject to numerous and
varying foreign regulatory requirements governing the design and conduct of
clinical trials and the managing and marketing of their products. The approval
procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing, and the
time required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA
approval.

There can be no assurance that the Company's potential business partners or
their partners will qualify for regulatory approvals or receive necessary
approvals to commercialize product candidates in any market. Delays in receipt
of or failure to receive regulatory approvals, or the loss of previously
received approvals, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
potential business partners' business, and therefore, on the Company's business.

COMPETITION

Competition in the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, the
sector in which the Company plans to establish new business operations, is
intense. The Company's potential business partners may face competition from
companies with far greater financial, marketing, technical and research
resources, name recognition, distribution channels and market presence than the
Company's potential business partners who are marketing existing products or
developing new products that are similar to the products developed the Company's
potential business partners. There can be no assurance that the Company's
potential business partners' products will be able to compete successfully with
existing products or products under development by other companies, universities
and other institutions.



INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

WARRANTYSUPERSTORE is a registered trademark in the United States. The Company's
Internet business operated using proprietary software developed in-house.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had no employees. As of December 31, 2001,
the Company employed three full-time personnel.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Through July 31, 2002 the Company leased approximately 4,100 square feet of
office space at 610 South Industrial Boulevard, Euless, Texas at an annual
rental of approximately $51,144. The lease expired on July 31, 2002. On February
21, 2003 the Company leased approximately 200 square feet of serviced office
space at 330 South Service Road, Suite 120, Melville, New York at an annual
rental of $18,000. The lease is for a term of approximately 13 months, expiring
March 31, 2004.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As discussed in Notes 4 and 13 of the accompanying notes to the financial
statements, StrandTek defaulted on the payment of $1,250,000 plus accrued
interest due to the Company on July 31, 2002. The Company ceased accruing
interest as of July 31, 2002 for financial statement purposes. As a result, on
August 6, 2002, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New
Jersey entitled Corniche Group Incorporated v StrandTek International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, StrandTek International, Inc., a Florida corporation,
David M. Veltman, William G. Buckles Jr., Jerome Bauman and Jan Arnett. The
complaint seeks recovery of the $1,250,000 loan, plus interest, costs and fees,
and seeks recovery against the individual defendants pursuant to their partial
guarantees.

On or about November 1, 2002, the defendants filed an answer denying liability
and asserting a counterclaim seeking unspecified damages. The theory of the
defense and counterclaim were the same; defendants asserted that the Company had
misrepresented its ability to raise the funds necessary to acquire StrandTek,
and had promised not to enforce the personal guaranties. As a result, defendants
claimed, the loans and guaranties are void and they should be entitled to
damages caused by their alleged "taking StrandTek off the market" during the
time period before the acquisition failed. The Company took the position that
all of defendants' defenses, as well as their counterclaim, were invalid as a
matter of law, and factually unsupportable in any event.

On February 28, 2003, the Court issued a ruling granting the Company partial
summary judgment with respect to the principal aspects of its complaint. The
Court rejected the defenses and agreed with the Company that it was entitled to
judgment against StrandTek and the guarantors. The Company has now filed a
second summary judgment motion to have final judgment entered for the exact
amounts due from each defendant and to dismiss the defendants' counterclaims.
This motion is presently scheduled to be heard on April 4, 2003.

No assurances can be given that StrandTek and/or the individual guarantors will
not attempt to appeal the Court's grant of summary judgment, or that the Company
will be able to collect on any judgment.

The Company is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings or claims
against the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders during the
fourth quarter of 2002.



PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

(a) Market Information. The Company's common stock is traded on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol "CNGI." The following table sets forth the
high and low bid prices of the Company's common stock for each quarterly
period within the two most recent fiscal years and the most recent
quarter, as reported by Nasdaq Trading and Market Services. On February
28, 2003, the closing bid price for the Company's common stock was $0.08.
Information set forth in the table below represents prices between dealers
in securities, does not include retail mark-ups, mark-downs, or
commissions, and does not necessarily represent actual transactions.

2002 High Low

First Quarter $0.68 $0.35
Second Quarter 0.37 0.06
Third Quarter 0.09 0.05
Fourth Quarter 0.10 0.04

2001 High Low

First Quarter $0.63 $0.25
Second Quarter 0.49 0.20
Third Quarter 0.81 0.30
Fourth Quarter 0.73 0.35

(b) Holders. As of February 28, 2003, there were approximately 1,050 holders
of record of the Company's common stock.

(c) Dividends. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, as, and
if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefor. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock
and, for the foreseeable future, intends to retain future earnings, if
any, to finance the operations, development and expansion of its business.
Future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of
Directors.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Certificate of Designation for the Company's Series A Preferred Stock
provides that at any time after December 1, 1999 any holder of Series A
Preferred Stock may require the Company to redeem his shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (if there are funds with which the Company may legally do so) at
a price of $1.00 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption provisions,
if any dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are past due, no shares of
Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company unless all outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. The holders of
Series A Preferred Stock may convert their Series A Preferred Stock into shares
of common stock of the Company at a price of $5.20 per share.



On January 29, 2002 notice was given that, pursuant to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Company has called for redemption
and will redeem (the "Redemption") on the date of the closing of the StrandTek
Transaction (the "Redemption Date"), all shares of the Company's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding on that date at a redemption price of
$1.05, plus accrued and unpaid dividends from July 1, 1995 through and including
the Redemption Date of approximately $0.47 per share. The Redemption, among
other financial, legal and business conditions, was a condition precedent to the
closing of the StrandTek Transaction. Similarly, completion of the Redemption
was subject to closing the StrandTek Transaction. Upon termination of the
StrandTek Transaction, the Company rescinded the Notice of Redemption.

At December 31, 2002, 681,174 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
outstanding. If the preferred shareholders do not convert their shares into
common stock, and if the Company were required to redeem any significant number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company's financial condition may be
materially affected.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In September 2002, the Company sold to accredited investors five 60-day
promissory notes in the principal sum of $25,000 each, resulting in net proceeds
to the Company of $117,500, net of offering costs. The notes bear interest at
15% per annum payable at maturity. The terms of the notes include a default
penalty pursuant to which if the notes are not paid on the due date, the holder
shall have the option to purchase 25,000 (twenty five thousand) shares of the
Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125. If the non
payment continues for 30 days, then on the 30th day, and at the end of each
successive 30-day period until the note is paid in full, the holder has the
option to purchase an additional 25,000 (twenty five thousand) shares of the
Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125. As of December
31, 2002 the Company had reserved 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock
for issuance against exercise of the options granted pursuant to the default
penalty. As of February 28, 2002, 150,000 of such options had been exercised
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $750 and because the notes remain
unpaid, options to purchase an additional 250,000 shares at an aggregate
purchase price of $1,250 have been granted pursuant to the default penalty.

In February 2003, the Company sold to accredited investors a series of 30-day
promissory notes in the aggregate principal sum of $50,000. The notes bear
interest at 20% per annum payable at maturity.



ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The selected statements of operations and balance sheet data set forth below are
derived from audited financial statements of the Company. The information set
forth below should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. See Item 8 "Financial
Statements and Supplemental Data" and Item 7 "Management's Discussion and

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in Item 8 of this
report, and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

General

During the first half of fiscal 2001, management became concerned by the slow
progress being made by its warrantysuperstore.com business. Accordingly,
alternative strategies for the Company were evaluated by the Board of Directors,
including the acquisition of new business operations. As a result, on January 7,
2002 the Company entered into the StrandTek Transaction as previously reported.
Consummation of the StrandTek Transaction was conditioned upon certain closing
conditions, including the Company obtaining financing via an equity private
placement, which ultimately could not be met and as a result in June 2002, the
Agreements were formally terminated by written agreement between the Company and
StrandTek. Also in June 2002, management determined, in light of continuing
operating losses, to discontinue its warranty and service contract business and
to seek new business opportunities for the Company.

New Business Opportunities.

Management had been exploring new business opportunities for the Company and on
February 6, 2003, the Company appointed Mark Weinreb as a member of the Board of
Directors and as its President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company and Mr.
Weinreb had been exploring business plans for the Company that may involve,
under the name "Phase III Medical, Inc.", entering the medical sector by
acquiring or participating in one or more biotech and/or medical companies or
technologies, owning one or more drugs or medical devices that may or may not
yet be available to the public, or acquiring rights to one or more of such drugs
or medical devices or the royalty streams therefrom. Mr. Weinreb was appointed
to finalize and execute the Company's new business plan. The Company will need
to recruit management, business development and technical personnel, and develop
its business model. Accordingly, it will be necessary for the Company to raise
new capital. There can be no assurance that any such business plan developed by
the Company will be successful, that the Company will be able to acquire such
new business or rights or raise new capital, or that the terms of any
transaction will be favorable to the Company.

Results of Continuing Operations

The Company's "Significant Accounting Policies" are described in Note 2 to the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in Item 8
of this report. The Company recognizes revenue from its warranty service
contracts ratably over the length of the contracts executed. Additionally, the
Company purchased insurance to fully cover any losses under the service
contracts from a domestic carrier. The insurance premium expense and other costs
related to the sale are amortized ratably over the life of the contracts.

Fiscal 2002 compared to Fiscal 2001

The Company generated recognized revenues from the sale of extended warranties
and service contracts via the Internet of $81,000 in fiscal 2002. The revenues
generated in the year were derived almost entirely from revenues deferred over
the life of the contracts sold in prior years. Similarly, direct costs of
$61,000 incurred in fiscal 2002, relate to costs previously deferred over the
life of such contracts. Revenues in fiscal 2001 totaled $225,000 of which
$107,000 were recognized as earned revenues, the balance deferred over the life
of the contracts sold. Direct costs in fiscal 2001 totaled $71,000.

General and administrative expenses totaled $912,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2002 as compared to $1,643,000 for fiscal 2001, a decrease of
$731,000 or 44.5%. Costs generally were significantly lower as the Company wound
down its operations and closed its office facilities in Texas in July 2002. As a
result, selling,



general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2002 are not comparable to fiscal
2001 when the Company incurred operating expenses such as advertising and
significantly higher payroll costs. One time employee termination and general
closure costs totaling approximately $150,000 were incurred in fiscal 2002 and
an impairment charge of $55,000 was recorded in June 2002 to adjust property and
equipment to its net realizable value.

The Company provided an allowance for the unsecured, un-guaranteed note
receivable from StrandTek of $250,000 plus accrued interest of $8,103.

Interest income decreased by $36,000 to $71,000 in fiscal 2002 as compared to
fiscal 2001 because interest income from the StrandTek loans, accrued through
July 31, 2002 was less than interest earned from investments in marketable
securities in fiscal 2001. Interest expense increased from $6,000 in the year
ended December 31, 2001 to $23,000 in fiscal 2002 primarily due to the
short-term loans secured in September 2002 to fund the Company's operating
expenses.

For the reasons cited above, net loss before preferred stock dividend decreased
by 35.3% to $1,160,000 from the comparable loss of $1,792,000 for fiscal 2001.

Fiscal 2001 compared to Fiscal 2000

The sale of extended warranties and service contracts via the Internet generated
gross revenues of $225,000 in fiscal 2001 as compared to $124,000 in fiscal 2000
of which $107,000 were recognized as earned revenues in the year ended December
31, 2001 as compared to $27,000 in fiscal 2000. The balance of these revenues is
being deferred over the life of the contracts. Similarly, direct costs
associated with the sale of service contracts are being recognized pro rata over
the life of the contracts.

General and administrative expenses totaled $1,643,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2001 as compared to $2,510,000 for fiscal 2000, a decrease of
$867,000 or 34.5%. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in advertising
costs ($1,027,000), offset by increases in professional fees ($166,000) and
staff costs ($48,000). The reduction in advertising is due to the Company
focusing on strategic partnerships and co-op advertising programs as compared to
Internet banner advertising and media promotions. The increase in professional
fees was due primarily to legal costs associated with the StrandTek Transaction
and the additional staff cost was due to the hiring of a Marketing Manager in
the second half of 2001.

As a result of the uncertainty over the future of the Company's extended
warranty service contract business, the Company recorded an impairment charge of
$305,333 in the fourth quarter of 2001. This charge represents the unamortized
balance of capitalized software.

Interest income decreased by $29,000 for the fiscal year 2001 as compared to
fiscal 2000. The decrease is primarily due to lower cash and cash investments
balances in 2001 as a result of cash being applied to funding operating losses.
Interest expense decreased from $10,000 in the year ended December 31, 2000 to
$6,000 in fiscal 2001.

For the reasons cited above, loss before discontinued operations and preferred
stock dividend decreased by 21.9% to $1,792,000 from the comparable loss of
$2,296,000 for fiscal 2000.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following chart represents the net funds provided by or used in operating,
financing and investment activities for each period as indicated:

Twelve Months Ended
-------------------

December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001

Cash provided by/(used in)
operating activities $ 1,005,376 $ (373,843)

Cash (used in)/provided by
investing activities (1,247,338) 362,939

Cash provided by (used in)
financing activities 209,949 (23,432)

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of
$1,208,000 in fiscal 2002. This loss adjusted for non-cash items such as
depreciation, provision for note receivable and accrued interest and property
and equipment impairment charges $330,000, deferred revenues (net of deferred
acquisition costs) ($25,000), sale of marketable securities $1,503,000,
preferred stock dividend accrual $48,000 and other non-cash items totaling
$10,000, resulted in cash provided by operating activities totaling $1,005,000
for the year ended December 31, 2002, net of working capital movements of
$347,000.

To meet its cash requirement during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002
the Company relied on the sale of marketable securities ($1,503,000) and the net
proceeds from shareholder advances ($106,000) and the sale of promissory notes
($117,500) to fund the Company's operating expenses. The Company's liquidity
position was hurt by the StrandTek loans advanced in the first quarter of fiscal
2002 and StrandTek's failure to repay them on the due date.

The Company has no contracted capital expenditure commitments in place. As of
December 31, 2002 the Company had cash balances totaling $19,000. The Company
will rely on its cash reserves and short-term loans to meet its cash needs
pending an equity private placement to fund its new business operations until
they become cash generative. In February 2003, the Company sold to "accredited
investors" a series of 30-day promissory notes in the aggregate principal sum of
$50,000. The notes bear interest at 20% per annum payable at maturity.
Additionally, on February 6, 2003 the Company entered into a deferment agreement
with three major creditors pursuant to which liabilities of approximately
$524,000 in aggregate, were deferred, subject to the success of the Company's
debt and equity financing efforts, until January 15, 2005, against a pledge of
the loans advanced to StrandTek in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 in the sum
of $1,250,000 plus accrued interest. The Company also anticipates having
available to it the net proceeds of repayment of the StrandTek loans and the
costs of collection. However, while the Company was recently awarded partial
summary judgment on its claims against StrandTek, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to collect on any judgment obtained.

In March 2003, the Company commenced a private placement to "accredited
investors" to sell up to $250,000 in promissory notes (the "Notes") in $5,000
increments or multiples thereof, each bearing interest at 15% per annum and each
due 6 months from the date issued (the "Maturity Date"). Principal will be
payable at the Maturity Date and interest will be payable monthly in arrears. In
the event that the Notes are not paid at the Maturity Date, the interest rate
will increase to a default rate of 20% per annum. The Company will pay its
placement agent an amount equal to 10% of the proceeds of the offering as
commissions for the placement agent's services, in addition to reimbursement of
the placement agent's expenses and indemnification against customary
liabilities. The offering is a best efforts offering with no required minimum
amount to be raised. If the full $250,000 is not raised, the Company's startup
activities will be constrained. There can be no assurance that the offering will
be successful.



Inflation

The Company does not believe that its operations have been materially influenced
by inflation in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, a situation which is
expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

The Company engaged Weinick Sanders Leventhal & Co., LLP ("Weinick") as its
independent accountants as of August 12, 1998. The Company had not consulted
with Weinick regarding any matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and
(ii) of Regulation S-K.

On May 7, 2001, the Company and Weinick terminated their client/auditor
relationship. The reports of Weinick on the financial statements of the Company
for the prior two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles. The Company's Audit Committee and its Board of Directors
participated in and approved the decision to terminate Weinick as independent
auditors. In connection with its audits for the prior two fiscal years and
through May 7, 2001, there were no disagreements with Weinick on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Weinick, would have caused Weinick to make reference thereto in its report on
the financial statements for such years. During the prior two fiscal years and
through May 7, 2001, there have been no "reportable events" as described in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company engaged Travis, Wolff & Company, L.L.P. ("Travis") as its new
independent accountants as of May 7, 2001. Such appointment was approved by the
Company's Audit Committee and its Board of Directors. During the two most recent
fiscal years and through May 7, 2001, the Company has not consulted with Travis
regarding any matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of
Regulation S-K.

Employment Agreements

On February 6, 2003 Mr. Weinreb was appointed President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company and the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Weinreb. The employment agreement has an initial term of three years, with
automatic annual extensions unless terminated by the Company or Mr. Weinreb at
least 90 days prior to an applicable anniversary date. The Company has agreed to
pay Mr. Weinreb an annual salary of $180,000 for the initial year of the term,
$198,000 for the second year of the term, and $217,800 for the third year of the
term. In addition, he is entitled to an annual bonus in the amount of $20,000
for the initial year in the event, and concurrently on the date, that the
Company has received debt and/or equity financing in the aggregate amount of at
least $1,000,000 since the beginning of his service, and $20,000 for each
subsequent year of the term, without condition.

In addition, the Company, pursuant to its newly adopted 2003 Equity
Participation Plan, entered into a Stock Option Agreement with Mr. Weinreb (the
"Initial Option Agreement"). Under the Initial Option Agreement, the



Company granted Mr. Weinreb the right and option, exercisable for 10 years, to
purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $0.03 per share and otherwise upon the terms set forth in the Initial
Option Agreement. In addition, in the event that the closing price of the
Company's common stock equals or exceeds $0.50 per share for any five (5)
consecutive trading days during the term of the employment agreement (whether
during initial term or an annual extension), the Company has agreed to grant to
Mr. Weinreb, on the day immediately following the end of the five (5) day
period, an option for the purchase of an additional 2,500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock for an exercise price of $0.50 per share, pursuant to the
2003 Equity Participation Plan and a Stock Option Agreement to be entered into
between the Company and Mr. Weinreb containing substantially the same terms as
the Initial Option Agreement, except for the exercise price and that the option
would be treated as an "incentive stock option" for tax purposes only to the
maximum extent permitted by law (the "Additional Option Agreement"). The Company
has agreed to promptly file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") pursuant to
which the issuance of the shares covered by the 2003 Equity Participation Plan,
as well as the resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial
Option Agreement, are registered. Additionally, the Company has agreed,
following any grant under the Additional Option Agreement, to promptly file a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement pursuant to which the
common stock issuable upon exercise thereof shall be registered for resale. Mr.
Weinreb has agreed that he will not resell publicly any shares of the Company's
common stock obtained upon exercise of any Initial Agreement or the Additional
Option Agreement prior to the first anniversary of the date of the employment
agreement.

business line, the Company intends to call a meeting of stockholders: (1) to
elect five directors (including Mr. Weinreb and, if he requests, a person
designated by him); (2) to ratify the Company's 2003 Equity Participation Plan
pursuant to which 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock are authorized
to be issued; (3) to approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock to
250,000,000; and (4) to approve a change of the Company's name to "Phase III

Director Compensation

Pursuant to the 1998 Independent Director Compensation Plan, each director who
is not an officer or employee of the Company is entitled to receive compensation
of $2,500 per calendar quarter plus 500 shares of common stock per calendar
quarter of board service, in addition to reimbursement of travel expenses.
Outside directors are entitled to be compensated for committee service at $500
per calendar quarter plus 125 shares of common stock per calendar quarter.

All directors are entitled to receive options to purchase 1,500 shares of common
stock each May under the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan for Directors. The
Company deferred the grant of such options that otherwise would have been
granted in May 2000, 2001 and 2002.

Section 16 - Beneficial Ownership Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class
of the Company's equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These persons are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish

controls or other factors that could significantly affect these disclosure
controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Corniche Group Incorporated
Euless, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Corniche Group
Incorporated (the "Company") as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, 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 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 consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of
Corniche Group Incorporated as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
Corniche Group Incorporated will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
sold its insurance subsidiary in July 2001. Additionally, the Company
discontinued sales of its extended warranty service contracts through its web
site in December 2001. Accordingly, the Company has no operations nor available
means to finance its current expenses and with which to pay its current
liabilities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters
are described in Note 13. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Corniche Group Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
redeemable preferred stock, common stock, other stockholders' equity and
accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2000 of
Corniche Group Incorporated and Subsidiary. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our

statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2000 of Corniche Group Incorporated and
Subsidiary, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statements
schedules for the years ended December 31, 2000, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1 - The Company

Corniche Group Incorporated (hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "CGI")
was incorporated in Delaware on September 18, 1980 under the name Fidelity
Medical Services, Inc. From its inception through March 1995, the Company was
engaged in the development, design, assembly, marketing, and sale of medical
imaging products. As a result of a reverse merger with Corniche Distribution
Limited and its Subsidiaries ("Corniche") the Company was engaged in the retail
sale and wholesale distribution of stationery products and related office
products, including office furniture, in the United Kingdom. Effective March 25,
1995, the Company sold its wholly-owned medical imaging products subsidiary. On
September 28, 1995 the Company changed its name to Corniche Group Incorporated.
In February 1996, the Company's United Kingdom operations were placed in
receivership by their creditors. Thereafter, through May 1998, the Company had
no activity. On March 4, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement ("Agreement"), approved by the Company's stockholders on May 18, 1998,
with certain individuals (the "Initial Purchasers") whereby the Initial
Purchasers acquired an aggregate of 765,000 shares of a newly created Series B
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. Thereafter
the Initial Purchasers endeavored to establish for the Company new business
operations in the property and casualty specialty insurance and the service
contract markets. On September 30, 1998, the Company acquired all of the capital
stock of Stamford Insurance Company, Ltd. ("Stamford") from Warrantech
Corporation ("Warrantech") for $37,000 in cash in a transaction accounted for as
a purchase. On April 30, 2001, the Company sold Stamford for a consideration of
$372,000. During 2001, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $479,000 on
the sale of Stamford. The closing was effective May 1, 2001 and transfer of
funds was completed on July 6, 2001.

Cash and restricted cash of $1,072,431 were on deposit in a United States
domestic bank at April 30, 2001.

On January 7, 2002, the Company entered into a Stock Contribution Exchange
Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") and a Supplemental Disclosure Agreement
(together with the Exchange Agreement, the "Agreements") with Strandtek
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Strandtek"), certain of
Strandtek's principal shareholders and certain non-shareholder loan holders of
Strandtek (the "StrandTek Transaction"). The Exchange Agreement was amended on
February 11, 2002. Had the transactions contemplated by the Agreements closed,
StrandTek would have become a majority owned subsidiary of the Company and the
former shareholders of StrandTek would have controlled the Company. Consummation
of the StrandTek Transaction was conditioned upon a number of closing
conditions, including the Company obtaining financing via an equity private
placement, which ultimately could not be met and, as a result, the Agreements
were formally terminated by the Company and StrandTek in June 2002. See Note 13.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary through April 30,
2001. All intercompany amounts and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

(b) Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.

(c) Cash Equivalents: Short-term cash investments, which have a maturity of
ninety days or less when purchased, are considered cash equivalents in the
statement of cash flows.

(d) Concentrations of Credit-Risk: Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash and marketable securities. The Company places its cash
accounts with high credit quality financial institutions, which at times
may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company's marketable
securities primarily comprised investments in U. S. Treasury Bills and
Federal Home Loan Mortgage notes.

(e) Marketable Securities: Marketable securities are classified as trading
securities and are reported at market value. At December 31, 2001,
marketable securities are comprised of U.S. Treasury Bills and Federal
Home Loan Mortgage notes whose cost approximated their market value.

(f) Property and Equipment: The cost of property and equipment is depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 3 to 5 years. The
cost of computer software programs is amortized over their estimated
useful lives of five years. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line
method. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend original
asset lives are charged to income as incurred.

(g) Income Taxes: The Company adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
which recognizes (a) the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the
current year and, (b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future
tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an enterprise's
financial statement or tax returns.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(h) Accounting for Long-Lived Assets: The Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS No. 144"), "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This Statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. This Statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of", and the accounting and reporting provisions of
APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual
and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for the disposal of a
segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). This
Statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to
eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which
control is likely to be temporary. This Statement retains the requirements
of Statement 121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying
amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash
flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the
carrying amount and fair value of the asset. At December 31, 2001, the
Company recognized as impaired, the book value of certain capitalized
software costs resulting in an impairment charge of $305,333. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company recognized as impaired, the book
value of property and equipment assets resulting in an impairment charge
of $54,732.

(i) Advertising Costs: The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
Advertising costs amounted to $107,117 and $1,133,987 for the years ended
December 31, 2001, and 2000, respectively. There were no advertising costs
in 2002.

(j) Earnings Per Share: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is based
on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is
calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share, which is calculated by dividing net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the
basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that
would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities
outstanding, is not presented as it is anti-dilutive in all periods
presented.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

(k) Revenue Recognition: Stamford's reinsurance premiums are recognized on a
pro rata basis over the policy term. The deferred policy acquisition costs
are the net cost of acquiring new and renewal insurance contracts. These
costs are charged to expense in proportion to net premium revenue
recognized. The provisions for losses and loss-adjustment expenses include
an amount determined from loss reports on individual cases and an amount
based on past experience for losses incurred but not reported. Such
liabilities are necessarily based on estimates, and while management
believes that the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be in
excess of or less than the amounts provided. The methods for making such
estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually
reviewed, and any adjustments are reflected in earnings currently.

The Company had sold via the Internet through partnerships and directly to
consumers, extended warranty service contracts for seven major consumer
products. The Company recognizes revenue ratably over the length of the
contract. The Company purchased insurance to fully cover any losses under
the service contracts from a domestic carrier. The insurance premium and
other costs related to the sale are amortized over the life of the
contract.

Note 8 - Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

In connection with the settlement of a securities class action litigation in
1994, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A $0.07 Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") with an aggregate value of
$1,000,000. The following summarizes the terms of Series A Preferred Stock as
more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The Series A Preferred
Stock has a liquidation value of $1 per share, is non-voting and convertible
into common stock of the Company at a price of $5.20 per share. Holders of
Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends of
$0.07 per share, per year, payable semi-annually. The Series A Preferred Stock
is callable by the Company at a price of $1.05 per share, plus accrued and
unpaid dividends. In addition, if the closing price of the Company's common
stock exceeds $13.80 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trade days, the
Series A Preferred Stock is callable by the Company at a price equal to $0.01
per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock also states that
at any time after December 1, 1999 the holders of the Series A Preferred Stocks
may require the Company to redeem their shares of Series A Preferred Stock (if
there are funds with which the Company may do so) at a price of $1.00 per share.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing redemption provisions, if any dividends on
the Series A Preferred Stock are past due, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock
may be redeemed by the Company unless all outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. During the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999, 128,880 and 18,711, respectively, shares of Series A Preferred
Stock were converted into 24,743 and 3,586, respectively, shares of common
stock. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, 681,174 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
were outstanding, and accrued dividends on these outstanding shares were
$385,512 and $337,827 respectively.

On January 29, 2002, notice was given that, pursuant to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Company called for redemption on
the date of closing the StrandTek Transaction, all shares of Series A Preferred
Stock outstanding on that date at a redemption price of $1.05, plus accrued and
unpaid dividends of approximately $0.47 per share. The redemption, among other
financial, legal and business conditions, was a condition of closing the
StrandTek Transaction. Similarly, the redemption was subject to closing the
StrandTek Transaction. Upon termination of the StrandTek Transaction, the
Company rescinded the notice of redemption.

Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity

(a) Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock:

On March 4, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
("Agreement"), approved by the Company's stockholders on May 18, 1998,
with certain individuals (the "Initial Purchasers") whereby the Initial
Purchasers and two other persons acquired an aggregate of 825,000 shares
of a newly created Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
("Series B Stock"), par value $0.01 per share. Pursuant to the Agreement
and subsequent transactions, the Initial Purchasers acquired 765,000
shares of Series B Stock for $76,500 in cash.

The Company incurred certain legal expenses of the Initial Purchasers
equaling approximately $50,000 in connection with the transaction. In
addition, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Series B Stock to a
consultant as compensation valued at $5,000 for his assistance to the
Company in the identification and review of business opportunities and
this transaction and for his assistance in bringing the transaction to
fruition. Additionally, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Series B Stock
to James Fyfe as compensation valued at $1,000 for his work in bringing
the transaction to fruition. These issuances diluted the voting rights of
the then existing stockholders by approximately 57%.

The total authorized shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Stock is 825,000. The following summarizes the terms of the Series B Stock
whose terms are more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
The Series B Stock carries a zero coupon and each share of the Series B
Stock is convertible into ten shares of the Company's common stock. The
holder of a share of the Series B Stock is entitled to ten times any
dividends paid on the common stock and such stock has ten votes per share
and votes as one class with the common stock.

The holder of any share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
has the right, at such holder's option (but not if such share is called
for redemption), exercisable after September 30, 2000, to convert such
share into ten (10) fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock
(the "Conversion Rate"). The Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment as
stipulated in the Agreement. Upon liquidation, the Series B Stock would be
junior to the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and would share ratably
with the common stock with respect to liquidating distributions. During
the year ended December 31, 2000, holders of 805,000 shares of the Series
B Preferred Stock converted their shares into 8,050,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the
holders of 10,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock

issued 3,000 shares of its common stock whose fair value was $7,688 to a
consultant for promotional activities.

The Company also issued 13,000 shares of its common stock whose fair value
was $20,522 to its past and present board members for director's fees from

(c) Warrants (Continued):

The remaining warrants to acquire 91,933 common shares at exercise prices
ranging from $3.20 to $8.10 per share were granted in March 1995 to
certain directors, officers and employees who converted previously
outstanding stock options under the 1986 Plan into warrants on
substantially the same terms as the previously held stock options, except
the warrants were immediately vested. During fiscal 1999, warrants to
acquire 22,308 common shares at prices ranging from $3.90 to $46.40 per
share expired. During fiscal 2002, warrants to acquire 35,000 common
shares at an exercise price of $27.50 per share expired. No warrants were

A total of 44,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance upon
exercise of outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2002 at prices ranging
from $3.20 to $8.10 and expiring through October 2004.

At December 31, 2002, warrants for 34,625 shares of common stock were
outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $3.20 to $8.10.

(d) Stock Option Plans:

The 1998 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to employees.
Under the 1998 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be
issued under options is 300,000 shares of common stock. The aggregate fair
market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares
for which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time under
the terms of the 1998 Plan by any eligible employee during any calendar
year cannot exceed $100,000. Options are exercisable at the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant and have five-year terms.

The exercise price of each option is 100% of the fair market value of the
underlying stock on the date the options are granted, except that no
option will be granted to any employee who, at the time the option is
granted, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary unless (a)
at the time the options are granted, the option exercise price is at least
110% of the fair market value of the shares of common stock subject to the
options and (b) the option by its terms is not exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date such option is granted. The Board
of Directors' Compensation Committee administers the 1998 Plan. In April
1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Stock Option Plan to provide for the
granting of options to directors. According to the terms of this plan,
each director is granted options to purchase 1,500 shares each year.

(d) Stock Option Plans: - continued


Outstanding options expire 90 days after termination of the holder's
status as employee or director. All options were granted at an exercise
price equal to the fair value of the common stock at the grant date.
Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 related
to fixed stock options, no compensation expense is recognized with respect
to options granted or exercised. Under the alternative fair-value based
method defined in SFAS No. 123, the fair value of all fixed stock options
on the grant date would be recognized as expense over the vesting period.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 is an
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 and SFAS No. 123 which requires that
effective July 1, 2000, all options issued to non-employees after January
12, 2000 be accounted for under the rules of SFAS No. 123. Options granted
to non-employees after December 15, 1998 through January 12, 2000 are also
required to follow SFAS No. 123 prospectively from July 1, 2000. The
effect of adoption of the Interpretation was a charge to operations in
2000 of 2000 2002 2001 $2,667 and an increase in additional paid in
capital in the same amount.

Assuming the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant to be
$.3125 per share in May 1996, $.40625 per share in May 1997, $.6875 in
January 1999 and $1.00 per share in September 1999, $1.94 in June 2000 and
$1.097 in September 2000, the life of the options to be from three to ten
years, the expected volatility at 200%, expected dividends are none, and
the risk-free interest rate of 10%, the Company would have recorded
compensation expense of $43,593, $59,129 and $57,842, respectively, for
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 as calculated by the

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules limiting the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income
following a corporate ownership change. The Company's ability to utilize its NOL
carryforwards is limited following a change in ownership in excess of fifty
percentage points during any three-year period.

Upon receipt of the proceeds from the last foreign purchasers of the Company's
common stock in January 2000, common stock ownership changed in excess of 50%
during the three-year period then ended. The utilization of the Company's net
operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2002 of approximately $6,100,000
has been limited by this ownership change. The future tax benefit of the net
operating loss carryforwards aggregating approximately $2,068,000 at December
31, 2002 has been fully reserved as it is not more likely than not that the
Company will be able to use the operating loss in the future.

Note 11 - Segment Information
