ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
ATEC Group, Inc. ("the Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries
American Computer Systems, Inc. ("ACS"), Cony Computer Systems, Inc. ("CONY"),
Innovative Business Micros, Inc. ("Innovative"), Micro Computer Stores, Inc.
("MCS") and Sun Computer and Software, Inc. ("SCSI"), is engaged in the sale of
computer hardware and software products to businesses, professionals, government
agencies and educational institutions. The Company provides its customers with a
wide range of services, including designing, integration and installing computer
systems, local area networks, high volume data communications, video
conferencing and internet ready solutions. The Company's subsidiaries are
authorized dealers for major manufacturers such as Apple, AST, Compaq, Epson,
Hewlett Packard, Hughes Networks, IBM, Microsoft, NEC, Novell, Oracle,
Panasonic, Sharp, Sybase and Toshiba. Hardware products sold include
microcomputer systems, laptop computers, local area network products, Direct PC,
Internet access and other computer peripherals.
The primary business market segments which the Company targets are
businesses, professionals and government agencies who are in need of computer
hardware and software integration and related support services. The Company
offers a full spectrum of services and support which management believes is of
critical importance in the current market environment. The Company believes that
computer systems have become too complex for a purchaser to be able to take it
home, take it out of the box, plug it in, and run it without experiencing
problems. Moreover, the integration of networks, internet access multimedia,
video conferencing, high volume information and communication systems has
necessitated a market of technical support and continued customer relations
after the sale. The Company believes that most consumers and business users do
not possess the time to investigate and locate the various computer components
necessary to establish an integrated computer system and therefore, strives to
provide "one-stop solutions" to their customers' computer needs in a cost
effective manner.
The Company advertises its products and services to businesses by
distributing brochures, direct mail solicitation, print advertisement and
participation in seminars, presentations and trade shows. The Company's
marketing strategy is to educate business customers as to the Company's ability
to provide a "one-stop solution" to all its computer needs from the initial
purchase and installation processes through required service and future
expansion requirements. The Company strives to quickly respond to its customers'
continually changing environment by providing flexible and economic solutions to
a user's need to expand and upgrade computer systems and applications.
The inventory of the Company consists of finished products sold by the
Company in the regular course of its business. At June 30, 1996 inventory was
approximately $2,800,000. The Company is aware that as a result of rapidly
changing technology in the computer field, and the consistent introduction of
new products, there is a significant risk that inventory can be rendered
obsolete or its value greatly reduced. The Company's strategy regarding
minimizing this risk focuses on limiting the time in which products remain in
inventory.
The Company's subsidiaries have entered into numerous vendor and dealer
agreements regarding the sale of hardware and software products. The Company
purchased approximately 41% of its hardware and software products from
Computerland Corporation (hereafter called "Computerland") during the year ended
June 30, 1996. Computerland is the only vendor who accounted for 10% or more of
2
the purchases of the Company. In addition to its agreements with Computerland,
the Company has dealer/vendor agreements with Ingram, Merisel, Intelligence
Electronics, Micro Age and Tech Data. The majority of these agreements may be
canceled upon short term notice to the Company in the event that minimum
purchases are not made and for other reasons. The Company has not in the past
had any vendor/dealer agreement terminated, except those which the Company
desired to terminate. The Company did not experience any material difficulties
in obtaining products from its vendors during its prior year. The Company
believes that other suppliers would be able to adequately service the Company's
needs in the event that its existing vendor/dealer agreements were terminated.
Competition
The microcomputer market is very competitive. The Company competes directly
with a variety of local and national distributors, super stores, retailers, mail
order houses and other entities who offer computer products and services. Many
of the computer manufacturers offer their products for sale directly through
mail order distribution and may possess greater financial, purchasing and
marketing resources. The Company seeks to compete with its competitors based
upon the Company's commitment to provide its customers with complete computer
services rather than merely upon the price of hardware and software. While the
Company attempts to competitively price hardware and software items, management
believes that the Company's principal strength is its ability to offer customers
complete solutions to their individualized computer needs, including system
design and integration, local area network (LAN), data communications, and
Internet access. During the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company's service
related activities accounted for approximately 5% of total revenues.
Seasonality
The Company does not experience any material seasonal trends in its
operations except for approximately 10% sales increases during the months of
October, November and December and approximately 5% sales decreases during the
months of January, February, March, July, August and September.
Backlog
The Company does not have a significant backlog as it normally delivers and
installs the computer products purchased by its customers within a short time of
the date of order. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that backlog is
material to the Company's business or indicative of future sales.
Governmental Regulation and Contracts
The Company believes that it is in material compliance with federal and
state laws and regulations which are applicable to its operations. The Company
is not a party to any government contract which represents a material portion of
the Company's revenues or which, if terminated or renegotiated, would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business.
3
Patents and Trademarks
The Company does not currently rely upon the use of any patents and/or
trademarks in connection with its operations except for references in
advertising materials as an authorized dealer or vendor of specific products of
manufacturers with whom they have agreements. The Company believes however that
the ability to identify itself as the authorized dealer of such manufacturers is
an important aspect of their marketing strategy.
Employees
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company had an aggregate of
approximately 72 employees, including its 9 administrators, 22 staff persons, 5
store managers, 23 full-time sales persons, 8 technical and 5 warehouse
personnel. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements and believes the
relations with their employees are good.
Recent Developments
In June 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Innovative, a New York corporation engaged in computer systems
integration business. Innovative's computer facility is located at 90 Adams
Avenue, Hauppauge, New York 11788. Innovative's principal shareholders were
Rajnish Rametra, Ashok Rametra and Surinder Rametra. Messrs. Ashok and Surinder
Rametra are the officers, directors and principal shareholders of the Company.
Rajnish is the brother of Surinder and Ashok. The consideration for the
Company's acquisition of Innovative was the issuance to the Shareholders of an
aggregate of 4,900,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
In September 1996, the Company formed a new Delaware subsidiary, VDOT.Net
Inc. ("VDOT"). VDOT has entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of a
startup internet service provider, VDOT.Net Inc., a New York Corporation ("VDOT
NY") in exchange for shares of the Company's stock with an aggregate value of
$100,000. VDOT NY shall be entitled to receive additional shares of the
Company's Common Stock with a market value of $50,000 in the event VDOT reports
net income after taxes during the year ended June 30, 1997. Ed Gulmi and Pat
Prauge, the shareholders of VDOTNY, will enter into employment agreements with
VDOT as the president and vice president respectively of VDOT. The Company
intends to seek out additional acquisitions in the internet area.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's headquarters and executive offices are located at 1952
Jericho Turnpike, East Northport, New York. This location also serves as SCSI's
retail facility. These premises, consisting of approximately 3,300 square feet,
are leased pursuant to a lease expiring in 1998 providing for annual rental
payments of approximately $35,000 per year, plus certain expenses and taxes. MCS
maintains a retail location and warehouse facility in Albany, New York,
consisting of approximately 8,050 square feet. The Albany facility lease expires
on June 30, 2003 and requires annual rental payments of $96,600 through 1998 and
$108,192 thereafter, plus all expenses and taxes attributable to the operation
of the premises. The Albany facility is leased from former stockholders of SCSI
and MCS. ACS operates from leased premises located at 143 West 29th Street, New
York, New York. This location occupies 4,000 square feet and requires annual
rental payments of $39,000, plus certain expenses. CONY's operating premises is
located at 28 Knight Street, Norwalk, Connecticut. This location is leased by
4
CONY pursuant to a three year lease expiring in 1997 and consists of
approximately 2,000 square feet. This lease requires annual payments of
approximately $24,000 per year plus other expenses. CONY has a sales office at
3001-B Route 17 South, Lodi, New Jersey. This location occupies 2,000 square
feet and requires annual rental payments of $17,250, plus certain expenses.
Innovative operates from leased premises located at 90 Adams Avenue, Hauppauge,
NY. This location occupies 5,600 square feet and requires annual rental payments
of $40,090 plus certain expenses.
The Company believes that its current facilities are suitable for its
present and projected needs. The Company does not own any real property.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A third party action was commenced against Atlantic to Pacific Corp. ("AP")
d/b/a Hillside Bedding in the Supreme Court, Bronx County in 1993. The action
results from a claim by one of AP's former workers who was allegedly injured
while operating a forklift during the course of his employment. The worker
commenced an action against the Company which maintained the forklift, Mid
Hudson Clarklift ("MH"), seeking damages of $7,000,000 for the alleged failure
of such company to properly maintain and service the lift. MH instituted a third
party action against AP seeking judgment over and against AP for all or part of
any verdict or judgment which may be obtained against MH. The case is presently
in the discovery stages.
In 1990, an action entitled Bedding Discount Center, Inc., MJR Bedding Co.,
Inc., Hapat Bedding Corp. v. Sid Patterson, Hillside Bedding Corporation and
Robert Martire was brought against the Company in Supreme Court, Nassau County,
Index No. 3720-90. The suit seeks damages in the amount of $1,000,000 for
alleged disclosure of certain trade secrets and confidential information to the
Company, together with punitive damages in the amount of $10,000,000 and similar
monetary damages based upon the allegations that defendants interfered with and
impaired plaintiffs' contractual and business relations and the plaintiffs have
engaged in acts constituting a prima facie tort. The action has been nearly
inactive since commencement. The Company believes that the action has no merit.
There can be no assurances however that the Company will prevail in any such
action.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Background
ATEC Group, Inc. (the "Company") through its wholly owned subsidiaries ACS,
Cony, Innovative, MCS and SCSI is engaged in the sale of computer hardware,
software, computer support and technical services. The computer hardware and
software related products are sold primarily to businesses, professionals,
government units and educational institutions. In addition, the Company provides
its clients with a full spectrum of computer services and technical support
including designing and installing computer systems, local area networks, high
volume data communications and Internet ready solutions. Additionally, the
Company sells hardware and software products to the consumer market through its
store facilities in Albany, NY, Long Island, NY, Norwalk, CT, New York City and
New Jersey.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal 1996 compared to Fiscal 1995
The Company's revenues for the 1996 fiscal year increased to $81.8 million
from $47.6 million for the prior year, an increase of approximately 72%. This
increase is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisitions of ACS and CONY
in February and March of 1995, respectively, as well as its own internal growth.
Revenues are generated by the Company's sales of computer hardware and software,
and related support services. Gross margin for the year increased to $7.5
million for 1996 from $4.7 million for 1995, a 60% increase due to the increased
revenues. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the year were 9.1% as
compared to 9.9% for the prior year. These margins are expected to increase as
these companies attempt to increase their market share in more profitable
sectors of the business such as integration, hardware service/maintenance,
networking and training.
1996 operating expenses exclusive of amortization of intangible assets
increased to $6 million as compared to $4.6 million for the prior year. The 30%
increase in operating expenses are related to expanded business operations
through the 1995 acquisitions and the opening of a sales office in New Jersey in
the third quarter.
Amortization of intangible assets increased to $168,000 for the year from
$108,000 in the comparable 1995 period. Other expenses decreased $1.7 million
primarily due to the write-off of all costs associated with the 1994
reorganization and the satisfaction of debts of the former bedding operations.
The provision for income taxes for 1996 was $415,000 as compared to
$152,000 for 1995. The provision for income taxes in 1996 was lower than the
federal and state combined statutory rate of 46% primarily due to the effect of
deductible charges associated with the charge-off.
As a result of the above, the Company's net income increased to $838,000
for 1996 from a loss of $2,251,000 in 1995. The primary reason for the 1995 loss
resulted from costs associated with the write-off of various items related to
the Company's former bedding business, the 1994 acquisition, and the
reorganization of the Company's business. For 1996, net income per share was
8
$.04 compared to a loss of $.25 in the prior year. Primary and fully diluted
average shares outstanding were 20,476,000 for 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash position was $1,667,031 at June 30, 1996, an increase of
$747,936 as compared to June 30, 1995. The Company's working capital at June 30,
1996 was $3,815,238 as compared to a working capital of $2,109,178 at June 30,
1995. The increase in cash and working capital primarily resulted from the sale
of 2,160,941 shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $1,299,751. Net cash
used by operating activities was $646,704.
Cash used for investing activities totaled $81,779, including $206,588 used
to purchase property and equipment.
To accommodate the Company's financial needs for inventory financing,
Deutsche Financial Service (formerly ITT Commercial Finance) has granted a
credit line in the aggregate amount of $4,750,000. At June 30, 1996,
indebtedness of the Company to Deutsche Financial was $2,085,054, a decrease of
$875,579 compared to June 30, 1995. Substantially, all of the Company's tangible
and intangible assets are pledged as collateral for this facility.
Fiscal 1995 compared to Fiscal 1994
During 1995, the Company acquired two additional companies, ACS and CONY
engaged in the computer products and services business. As a result of the
acquisitions and internal growth, the Company's revenues for 1995 increased to
$47.5 million from $43.5 million for 1994, an 9.2% increase. Revenues are
generated by the Company's sales of computer hardware and software, and related
support services. Gross margin increased to $4.7 million for 1995 from $3.8
million for 1994, a 23.7% increase due to increased revenues. Gross margin as a
percentage of revenues for 1995 was 9.9% as compared to 8.7% for 1994.
Operating expenses exclusive of amortization of intangible assets increased
to $5 million for 1995 as compared to $4 million for 1994, a 25% increase. In
the fourth quarter of 1995, media credits of $448,000 which the Company acquired
during the period that it engaged in bedding operations before the acquisition
of its computer business were found to be worthless and were expended. The
remainder of the increase in operating expenses are related to expanded business
operations through the 1995 acquisitions of ACS and CONY. Amortization of
intangible assets increased to $2.1 million for 1995 from $0 in the comparable
1994 period, primarily due to the write-off of all costs associated with the
1994 reorganization of the Company and the satisfaction of bedding related
debts. Interest expense for 1995 amounted to $138,000 as compared to $48,000 for
the same period in 1994. Interest expenses in 1995 are primarily related to
increased lines of credit utilized to finance the Company's increased business
activity.
The provision for income taxes for 1995 was $151,000 as compared to $73,000
for the comparable period in 1994. The provision for income taxes in 1995 was
greater than the statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the effect of non
deductible charges associated with the charge-off of the Company's goodwill.
9
As a result of the above, the Company's consolidated net loss increased to
$2.3 million for 1995 from $0.2 million in the comparable 1994 period. The
primary reason for such loss resulted from costs associated with the write-off
of various items related to the Company's former bedding business, the 1994
acquisition, and the reorganization of the Company's business. The operating
results reflected 12 months of operations for SCSI, MCS and Innovative, but only
five months for ACS, and three months for CONY. Primary and fully diluted net
loss per share for 1995 was $.25 as compared to a net loss of $.04 for the
comparable 1994 period. Primary and fully diluted average shares outstanding
were 8,872,333 and 5,289,573, respectively for 1995 and 1994. The calculation of
fully diluted earnings per share is deemed to be anti-dilutive and is therefore
not applicable.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes
thereto, together with the report of independent certified public accountants
thereon, are presented beginning at page F-1.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On April 18, 1996, ATEC Group, Inc. (the "Registrant") engaged Weinick,
Sanders & Co. LLP ("WS") to audit the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 1996. The decision to change independent
auditors was recommended and approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
The accounting firm of Yohalem Gillman & Company, ("Yohalem"), which served
as the Company's independent auditor for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 was
dismissed by the Company on April 17, 1996. On June 28, 1995, the Company's
independent auditor for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, Bianculli, Pascale
& Company, P.C. ("B&P"), was dismissed by the Company. Yohalem's and B&P's
services for each such year included the audit of the Company's consolidated
financial statements and other services related to filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and
the interim periods up until the date of dismissal of Yohalem, the Company had
no disagreement with Yohalem and/or B&P and there were no "reportable events",
as defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K involving the
Company, Yohalem and/or B&P on matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of such auditors, would have caused them to make
reference to such matters in their respective reports, with the exception of a
disagreement with Yohalem on the proposed accounting method to be applied to the
Company's proposed acquisition of Innovative. The proposed acquisition of
Innovative (the "Acquisition") contemplated the payment to Innovative
Shareholders of shares of the Company's Common Stock over a three year period
depending upon performance criteria ("Initial Acquisition Terms"). Innovative
was owned by Surinder Rametra and Ashok Rametra, the Company's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, and their
brother, Rajnish Rametra. Surinder and Ashok Rametra owned 25% of the Common
Stock and Rajnish Rametra owned 75%. Surinder Rametra gave direction and
guidance to Rajnish Rametra for the operations of Innovative. A member of the
Company's board of directors discussed the matter with Yohalem. The Company
authorized Yohalem to respond fully to the inquiries of WS concerning the
subject matter of the disagreement. The accountant's reports on the Company's
financial statements for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 did not contain
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
10
Management was of the opinion that APB 16 did not apply to the Initial
Acquisition Terms. APB 16, paragraph 5 excludes transfers and exchanges between
companies under common control, and assets and liabilities would be accounted
for at historical cost in a manner similar to that in pooling of interest
accounting (AIN ASPB 16.#39). Management also consulted with the AICPA's
technical hotline prior to formulating their opinion on the appropriate
accounting.
Yohalem, the Company's former independent accountants expressed
reservations concerning the accounting method applied in the pro forma financial
presentations included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated April
1, 1996 based on the Initial Acquisition Terms and the application of this
method to the pro forma financial statements. Yohalem believed, based on a
literal reading on the applicable authoritative accounting standards, that the
proposed accounting for Innovative based on the Initial Acquisition Terms was
not in accordance with those accounting standards, as currently written,
inasmuch as the Rametra family did not own a majority of the voting shares of
the Company before the Acquisition. Yohalem is aware the Financial Accounting
Standards Board is reconsidering the requirements for consolidations and,
accordingly suggested that the Company discuss this matter with the staff of the
SEC.
The Company requested WS's views on the proposed accounting for the
Innovative transaction based on the Initial Acquisition Terms. Based on the
facts as they existed at that point in time, it was their view that APB 16 did
not apply and the appropriate accounting would be the carryover of Innovative's
cost.
In June 1996, the Company negotiated new acquisition terms "New Acquisition
Terms" with the Rametras, pursuant to which the Company would acquire 100% of
Innovative's shares in exchange for 4,900,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock all of which shares were payable at the Closing of the Acquisition. The
New Acquisition Terms did not involve the payment of any future consideration to
the Innovative Shareholders. In June 1996, the Acquisition was consummated based
on the New Acquisition Terms. The Company, in concurrence with WS accounted for
the Acquisition as a pooling of interests.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Transactions Between Sun and the Former MCS and
SCSI Shareholders
The following transaction between the Company, Surinder Rametra Ashok
Rametra, MCS and SCSI took place in connection with the Company's acquisition of
MCS and SCSI and the issuance by the Company of in excess of 90% of the
Company's then outstanding voting securities.
Agreements Between Sun, SCSI and MCS Shareholders
In November 1993 Surinder Rametra the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
of the Company began discussions with Raghbir Lambda, the sole director,
shareholder and controlling person of Sun Corporation (2000) Limited ("Sun").
Mr. Rametra and Mr. Lambda have known each other since 1990. Mr. Rametra at such
time was both shareholder of SCSI and MCS and a member of the Board of Directors
of both of such companies. The Company had been advised that Sun was engaged in
the business of investing in private and public companies. Mr. Rametra and Mr.
Lambda discussed the potential purchase by Sun of 100% of both MCS and SCSI.
Various negotiations ensued between the parties and a verbal agreement was
reached regarding the terms of sale of MCS and SCSI to Sun for an aggregate
maximum purchase price of $10,000,000 payable in securities of a publicly traded
company. In accordance with the verbal agreement, Mr. Rametra on behalf of the
SCSI and MCS Shareholders would have the right to approve or disapprove the
securities of a particular public company as payment for the MCS and SCSI
Shares. Accordingly, during the period from November 1993 through May 1994,
Messrs. Rametra and Lambda discussed potential transactions involving the
delivery by Sun to the MCS and SCSI Shareholders of the Shares of various public
companies. In May 1994 discussions began regarding the sale by Sun of the MCS
and SCSI shares to the Company. Mr. Rametra agreed to accept the securities of
the Company on behalf of the MCS and SCSI Shareholders, as suitable for payment
of the MCS and SCSI purchase price. At such time the verbal agreement reached
between Sun and Mr. Rametra on behalf of the MCS and SCSI shareholders in 1993
was memorialized.
Surinder Rametra and related parties (the "SCSI Shareholders") sold 100% of
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SCSI to Sun. In
consideration for the SCSI Shares, Sun was required to deliver to the SCSI
Shareholders shares of a publicly traded Company's Common Stock ("Public
Shares") with a market value of $2,000,000 over a two year period. Sun is also
required to deliver to the SCSI Shareholders (i) for a period of three years,
Public Shares with a value of $500,000 payable upon SCSI reporting audited
revenues in an amount equal to or greater than $15,000,000 for the first year
and 10% growth thereafter; and (ii) for a period of three years additional
Public Shares with a value of $500,000 payable upon receipt of audited pre-tax
income on behalf of SCSI equal to or greater than $400,000 for the first year
with 10% growth thereafter. Sun agreed that in the event it entered into any
further agreement to sell the SCSI shares prior to the payment of all
compensation to the SCSI Shareholders, Sun would hold the consideration received
by it for the SCSI shares (up to the amount owed to the SCSI Shareholder) for
the benefit of the SCSI shareholders. In the event of a default by Sun in the
payment of any compensation to the SCSI Shareholders all consideration held by
Sun 2000 from the sale of SCSI shares to a third party would be immediately
deliverable to the SCSI Shareholders. In partial satisfaction of its obligations
to the SCSI Shareholders, Sun has delivered shares of Series B Preferred Stock
convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company to Essential Metals
19
Industry Inc. ("EMI"), a company that is an affiliate of the SCSI Shareholders
and the Company's President, Ashok Rametra. The shares delivered to EMI were
acquired by Sun upon the sale by Sun to the Company of the SCSI shares as well
as 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of MCS. Sun is required to deliver
to the SCSI Shareholders the balance of the Public Shares described above.
Surinder Rametra, Ashok Rametra, Rajnish Rametra, Vijay Rametra and Harry
L. Gupta (the "MCS Shareholders") sold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock of MCS Inc. ("MCS") to Sun. Ashok Rametra, Rajnish Rametra, and
Vijay Rametra are the brothers of Surinder Rametra. Harry L. Gupta is the
brother-in-law of Surinder and Ashok Rametra. In consideration for the MCS
Shares, Sun was required to deliver to the MCS Shareholders shares of a publicly
traded Company's Common Stock ("Public Shares") with a market value of
$2,000,000 over a two year period. Sun is also required to deliver to the MCS
Shareholders (i) for a period of three years Public Shares with a value of
$500,000 payable upon MCS reporting audited revenues in an amount equal to or
greater than $15,000,000 for the first year and 10% growth thereafter; and (ii)
for a period of three years additional Public Shares with a value of $500,000
payable upon receipt of audited pre-tax income on behalf of MCS equal to or
greater than $400,000 for the first year with 10% growth thereafter. Sun agreed
that in the event it entered into any further agreement to sell the MCS shares
prior to the payment of all compensation to the MCS Shareholders, Sun would hold
the consideration received by it for the MCS shares (up to the amount owed to
MCS Shareholders) for the benefit of the MCS Shareholders. In the event of a
default by Sun in the payment of any compensation to the MCS Shareholders, all
consideration held from the sale of MCS shares to a third party would be
immediately deliverable to the MCS Shareholders. In partial satisfaction of its
obligation to the MCS Shareholders, Sun has delivered shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of the Company convertible into Common Stock of the Company to
EMI, a company that is an affiliate of Ashok Rametra and Surinder Rametra. The
shares delivered to EMI were acquired by Sun upon the sale by Sun to the Company
of the SCSI and MCS shares. Sun is required to deliver to the MCS Shareholders
the balance of the Public Shares described above.
As further partial payments to the MCS and SCSI Shareholders, Sun delivered
to such holders in May 1995 an aggregate of an additional 1,653.8 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock representing 400,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. The Company's Board has agreed to exchange these shares of the Company's
Common Stock held by MCS and SCSI Shareholders for a new class of Series I
Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value of $2,000,000. The Series I
Preferred Stock will be convertible into $2,000,000 of the Company's Common
Stock commencing in July 1996 based upon the average of the Company's bid and
asked prices for shares of Common Stock as reported in the over-the-counter
market during the ten day trading period preceding July 1, 1996 ("Exchange
Price"). In the event that the Exchange Price is less than the average of the
bid and asked prices for the Company's Common Stock during the ten day trading
period prior to December 31, 1996, additional Common Shares will be issued so
that an aggregate of $2,000,000 in shares of Common Stock will be delivered upon
conversion of all Series I Shares. Each share of Series I Preferred Stock
possesses one vote. In July 1996, 390,000 of such shares were exchanged for
1,666,665 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
In August 1995, Sun and the MCS and SCSI shareholders entered into an
agreement pursuant to which all obligations owed by Sun to such shareholders
were satisfied by Sun's transfer to the MCS and SCSI shareholders of an
aggregate of 5,312.9 shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing 1,284,978
shares of the Company's Common Stock. These shares were ultimately converted
into 84,978 Common Shares and the right to receive 800,000 shares of a new
Series J Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value of $4,000,000, 400,000
shares of a new class of Series K Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value of
20
$2,000,000. The Series J Preferred Stock will be convertible into $4,000,000 of
the Company's Common Stock commencing in July 1997 based upon the average of the
bid and ask prices for shares of the Company's Common Stock as reported in the
over-the-counter market during the ten trading days preceding July 1, 1997
("1997 Exchange Price"). In the event that the 1997 Exchange Price is less than
the average of the bid and ask prices for the Company's Common Stock during the
ten day trading period prior to December 31, 1997, additional Common Shares will
be issued so that an aggregate of $4,000,000 in shares of Common Stock will be
delivered upon conversion of all Series J Preferred Stock. The Series K
Preferred Stock will be convertible into $2,000,000 of the Company's Common
Stock commencing in July 1998 based upon the average of the Company's bid and
ask prices for shares of Common Stock as reported in the over-the-counter market
during the ten day trading period preceding July 1, 1998 ("1998 Exchange
Price"). In the event that the 1998 Exchange Price is less than the average of
the bid and ask prices for the Company's Common Stock during the ten day trading
period prior to December 31, 1998, additional Common Shares will be issued so
that an aggregate of $2,000,000 in shares of Common Stock will be delivered upon
conversion of all Series J Shares. Each share of Series J and Series K Preferred
Stock possess one vote.
The Stock Acquisition Agreement
In June 1994 pursuant to a stock acquisition agreement ("Acquisition
Agreement") the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
of SCSI and MCS in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 94,431 shares of
its Common Stock and 30,900 Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B
Preferred Stock is entitled to 241.86 votes per share and is convertible into
Common Stock at the rate of 241.86 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the
holders of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock possess voting control over
the Company. Upon closing of the Acquisition Agreement, Surinder Rametra was
appointed Chairman of the Board of the Company, Chief Executive Officer and
Secretary and Surinder's brother, Ashok Rametra became the President, Treasurer,
Chief Financial Officer and a Director of the Company. As described above upon
closing of the Acquisition Agreement EMI received from Sun shares of Series B
Preferred Stock convertible into 1,034,971 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Transactions with Robert Martire
In connection with the acquisition by the Company of SCSI and MCS, the
Company's prior sole officer and director, Robert Martire agreed to resign his
position with the Company. In connection with his resignation Mr. Martire
received certain payments in satisfaction and termination of his employment
agreement and other obligations with the Company. Mr. Martire's Employment
Agreement required the Company to pay to him an annual salary of $260,000 per
year through July 31, 1997. Accordingly, the Company was obligated to make
further payments to Mr. Martire of approximately $540,000 under the terms of the
Employment Agreement. The Company believed that it was in its best interests to
have the Employment Agreement terminated and make to Mr. Martire the following
payments in settlement of all claims which Mr. Martire possessed against the
Company. Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and subsequent
arrangements, the Company paid Mr. Martire the following: (i) the sum of
$100,000; (ii) 88,968 post-split shares of the Company's Common Stock (which
shares the Company agreed to register under an S-8 Registration Statement) at
the time such shares were issued the bid price of the Company's Common Stock was
$3.125; and (iii) 250,000 shares of stock of a NASDAQ Small Cap Market company
valued at $200,000. The Company was required to pay to Mr. Martire the
difference between proceeds realized upon the sale of Sun stock and $150,000.
Since the sales proceeds realized by Mr. Martire on the sale of such securities
21
were only $77,522, the Company was required to deliver to Mr. Martire an
additional $72,425, $18,475 of such sum was paid on June 1, 1995 and $9,000 on
August 11, 1995. The total dollar figure attributable to payments made to Mr.
Martire (valuing the 88,968 post split shares referred to in (ii) above at
$3.125 per share) was $528,025. In December 1995 the Company and Mr. Martire
agreed to settle all sums due and owning to Mr. Martire through the issuance of
60,000 Shares of the Company's Common Stock, which shares have been registered
for resale.
Transactions with Balwinder Singh Bathla
In connection with the acquisition by the Company of ACS, the Company
agreed to issue to Balwinder Singh Bathla 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred
Stock with an aggregate par value of $500,000 on the day of the closing, 100,000
additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value of
$500,000 on the three month anniversary of the closing; 200,000 shares of Series
E Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value of $1,000,000 on the one year
anniversary of the closing; and 66,800 shares of Series F Preferred Stock with
an aggregate par value of $334,000 upon delivery of certain financial
information to the Company. In addition the Company agreed to issue to Mr.
Bathla shares of the Company's Common Stock up to a maximum value of $1,664,000
over a three year period subject to ACS meeting certain performance criteria of
the minimum annual revenues of $12,600,000, plus 10% in annual increases and
minimum annual income before taxes of $315,000, plus 10% in annual increases.
These performance related Common Stock payments will be valued according to the
average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Company's shares during the 10
day trading period preceding December 31 of each year. In connection with the
Stock Purchase Agreement, ACS and Mr. Bathla entered into an employment
agreement whereby Mr. Bathla is to serve as President of ACS through December
31, 1997. Mr. Bathla shall receive an annual base salary at the rate of $135,000
for the first year of employment, which rate shall be increased by 10% per
annum. Mr. Bathla shall be eligible to receive an annual cash and/or stock
bonus, the amount and timing of which will be in the sole discretion of the
Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Bathla shall also be entitled to receive a
mandatory stock bonus payable in connection with the delivery of financial
statements indicating specified levels of annual revenue and pre-tax income on
behalf of ACS. The 1994 mandatory bonus consisted of 1 share of Series G
Preferred Stock, which share has been earned by Mr. Bathla. Mandatory bonuses
for the subsequent years shall be payable in Common Stock of the Company upon
demonstration that ACS meets specified minimum levels of annual revenues and
pre-tax income. In July 1995 Mr. Bathla's Series F and G Preferred Shares were
converted into an aggregate of 344,118 shares of Common Stock.
The Company also guaranteed payment by ACS to Mr. Bathla of an aggregate of
$750,000 together with 10% interest thereon by December 31, 1997. As of June 30,
1996 and 1995, the balance owed by ACS to Mr. Bathla was $228,322 and $396,246
respectively. ACS and the Company entered into a verbal agreement whereby the
Company agreed to provide corporate services such as product purchasing,
customer referrals and general management advisory services on behalf of ACS.
The Company was compensated at the rate of $250 per hour for such services plus
75% of increases in ACS' gross margins which resulted from such services. The
total amount earned by the Company in this regard at December 31, 1994 was
$200,000. Of such amount $120,000 was for general management advisory service
and the balance of $80,000 from improvements to ACS' gross margins. The
agreement continued until the closing of the Company's acquisition of ACS.
22
Transactions with CONY Shareholders
In connection with the acquisition of CONY, the Company agreed to issue to
Arvinder Gulati, Patrick Hagerty and Kenneth Bohacs (collectively the "CONY
Shareholders") an aggregate of 437,990 shares of the Company's Common Stock and
200,000 shares of Series D $5.00 par value Preferred Stock. 100,000 of the
Series D Shares were delivered to the CONY Shareholders as of the closing and
the balance were delivered six months thereafter. The Company also agreed to
issue to the CONY Shareholders additional shares of the Company's Common Stock
with a maximum value of $1,000,000 over the next three fiscal years subject to
CONY meeting certain minimum revenue and gross profit benchmarks. These
additional shares are to be valued based upon the closing bid and ask price of
the Company's Common Stock as reported during ten trading days prior to the end
of each subject fiscal year.
In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the CONY Shareholders
entered into employment agreements with CONY pursuant to which Mr. Gulati will
serve as the Chief Executive Officer of CONY, Mr. Hagerty will serve as CONY's
President and Mr. Bohacs as CONY's Secretary. Messrs. Gulati and Hagerty will
each receive an annual salary of $120,000 per year subject to annual increases.
Mr. Bohacs will receive an annual salary of $24,000 per year subject to annual
increases. The CONY Shareholders will be entitled to participate in a stock
bonus pool which will entitle them to receive additional shares of the Company's
Common Stock based upon CONY meeting specified levels of revenues and pre-tax
income during CONY's next three fiscal years.
CONY and the Company entered into a verbal agreement whereby the Company
agreed to provide corporate services such as product purchasing, customer
referrals and general management advisory services on behalf of CONY. The
Company was compensated at the rate of $250 per hour for such services plus a
percentage of increases in CONY's gross margins which resulted from such
services. The total amount earned by the Company in this regard from January 1,
1995 through March 31, 1995 was $175,000. 60% of such amount was for general
management advisory service and the balance from improvements to CONY's gross
margins. The agreement continued until the closing of the Company's acquisition
of CONY.
Transactions with Innovative Business Micros Inc.
In June, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock
of Innovative Business Micros, Inc., a computer integrator located in Long
Island. Innovative was formerly owned by Surinder Rametra and Ashok Rametra, the
Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer
respectively, and Rajnish Rametra the brother of Surinder and Ashok. The
consideration for the acquisition was the issuance by the Company of an
aggregate of 4,900,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the former
shareholders of Innovative. The terms of the acquisition were not negotiated in
an arms-length manner and there can be no assurance that an unaffiliated company
would have paid less consideration for Innovative than paid by the Company. The
Acquisition will be accounted for as a pooling of interest. (see "Business
General").
Sale and Purchase of Goods Between SCSI, MCS, ACS, CONY, Innovative and
Affiliates
During the period from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996, the Company's
subsidiaries SCSI, MCS, ACS, and Innovative sold and purchased goods to and from
23
each other as well as Essential Metals Inc., ESCI Inc., Compudata, Empire State
Computer International, Inc. ("Empire") and Micro Systems Leasing and Rental,
Inc. ("MSLR"). These corporations, with the exception of Empire are affiliates
of Surinder Rametra and/or Ashok Rametra. Empire is an affiliate of ACS. These
goods consisted of computer hardware and related products. The following
summarizes these related transactions. The Company believes that the terms of
such transactions were at least as favorable to the Company as would have been
reached with unaffiliated parties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Stockholders
ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders'
equity of ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Hillside Bedding, Inc. and
Subsidiaries) as of June 30, 1994 prior to its restatement for the June 14, 1996
pooling of interest discussed below and in the accompanying notes to the
financial statement. This financial statement is the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standard 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 accounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statement referred to above
presents fairly in all material respects, the consolidated stockholders' equity
of ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries for the year ended June 30, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As more fully described in the accompanying notes to the financial
statements, on June 23, 1994, Hillside Bedding, Inc. acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Micro Computer Store, Inc. and Sun Computer and
Software, Inc. These acquisitions have been treated for accounting purposes, as
a consolidation and merger of Micro Computer Store, Inc. and Sun Computer and
Software, Inc. and an acquisition by them of ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
because, among other factors, the assets revenues and net earnings of Micro
Computer Store, Inc. and Sun Computer and Software, Inc. significantly exceeded
those of ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries and the management of these companies
control the Company after the acquisition.
We have also examined the historical statements of operations and cash
flows of Micro Computer Store, Inc. and Sun Computer and Software, Inc. for the
year ended June 30, 1994. These financial statements give effect to the
consolidation and merger of these companies as discussed above and in the notes
to the financial statement, as if their consolidation and merger was effected as
of July 1, 1992. Our examination was made in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,
accordingly, included such procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
In our opinion, the historical statements of operations and cash flows
described above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of
operations and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
On June 14, 1996, ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries acquired all of the
stock of Innovative Business Micros, Inc., accounted for under the pooling of
interests method. We previously audited and reported on the consolidated
statement of stockholders' equity of ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
June 30, 1994. The contribution of ATEC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries to total
stockholders' equity represented 60.6 percent of the respective restated total.
Separate financial statements of Innovative Business Micros, Inc. included in
the restated consolidated statement of stockholders' equity were audited and
reported on separately by other auditors whose report is separately presented
herein.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT OF GEORGE S. GOLDBERG
George S. Goldberg
Certified Public Accountant
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Atec Group, Inc.
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Innovative Business Micros,
Inc. as of September 30, 1995 and the related statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the two years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
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. I
believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Innovative Business Micros, Inc. as
of September 30, 1995 and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the two years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

ATEC GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Organization and Presentation of Financial Statements:
ATEC Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "ATEC") was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Delaware on July 17, 1992 under the name Hillside Bedding, Inc.
("Hillside"). On December 14, 1995, Hillside Bedding, Inc.'s shareholders
approved a change of the Company's name to ATEC Group, Inc. ("ATEC"). This name
change was primarily to reflect the change in the Company's focus from the
operation of retail bedding stores to the operation of stores that specialize in
the sale and service of computer business systems. Prior to February 1994, the
Company operated a chain of retail bedding stores and two franchises. Each store
was operated as a wholly owned subsidiary. In 1994, due to recurring losses and
substantial negative working capital, the Company closed its retail bedding
stores.
On June 23, 1994, the Company acquired, in a stock for stock transaction,
two microcomputer distributors, Sun Computer and Software, Inc. ("SCSI") located
in East Northport, NY and Micro Computer Store, Inc. ("MCS") located in Albany,
NY. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of SCSI and MCS was treated as a
consolidation and merger of these companies and an acquisition by them of
Hillside, because, among other factors, the assets, revenues and earnings of MCS
and SCSI significantly exceeded those of the Company and the management of MCS
and SCSI controlled the Company subsequent to the acquisition. These
acquisitions resulted in a change in the reporting entity for the Registrant. As
the acquisition constituted a change in the reporting entity, the combined
statements of operations and cash flows of MCS and SCSI for the year ended June
30, 1994 have been presented herein as those of the reporting entity. These
combined statements of operations and cash flows do not include any of the
bedding operations. The consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the
year ended June 30, 1994 presents the Company's changes in stockholders' equity
for fiscal 1994 and the accounting effects of the change in reporting entity.
F-17
NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES . (continued)
Organization and Presentation of Financial Statements:
(continued)
On February 6, 1995, the Company acquired all of the stock of American
Computer Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Laptop and Office
Solutions, Inc. ("ACS"), located in New York City, NY. On March 31, 1995, the
Company acquired all the stock of CONY Computer Corp. ("CONY") located in
Norwalk, CT. The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the
year ended June 30, 1995 include the accounts of ACS and CONY since their dates
of acquisition.
On June 14, 1996, ATEC acquired all the stock of Innovative Business
Micros, Inc. ("Innovative") located in Hauppauge, NY. The acquisition of
Innovative has been accounted for under the pooling of interests method and,
accordingly, the consolidated and combined financial statements have been
restated to include the accounts and operations of Innovative retroactively to
the beginning of all periods presented.
Principal Business Activity:
The Company operates in one industry segment and is engaged primarily in
the sale of computer hardware and software to businesses, professionals,
governmental units and educational institutions. Additionally, the Company sells
hardware and software to the consumer market in New York City, NY, Albany, NY,
East Northport, NY, Hauppauge, NY, and Norwalk, CT. The Company also provides
its customers with a full spectrum of computer services and technical support
(revenues derived from such services are not significant).
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Consolidation Policy:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
ATEC Group, Inc. and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out cost method. Inventories consist of microcomputer hardware, software
and related peripheral, and accessory finished products.
F-18
NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES. (continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in
income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense
as incurred. Significant renewals and replacements which substantially extend
the lives of the assets are capitalized.
Depreciation is computed on either straight-line or accelerated methods
over useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the life of
the related lease.
Goodwill:
Goodwill relating to the acquisitions of CONY and ACS is being amortized
over a period of fifteen years.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped to its
customers, or when sales are made on a "cash and carry" basis.
Income Taxes:
The Company adopted, as of June 30, 1992, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 which utilizes a balance sheet approach for financial
accounting and reporting of income taxes, and requires that deferred tax assets
and liabilities be established at income tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be
settled or realized.
Earnings Per Share:
The primary income (loss) per share for 1996 and 1995 has been calculated
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. Common stock equivalents were considered in the primary per share data in
1996 and not included in 1995 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. All
the convertible preferred stocks and the contingent issuances of common stock
pursuant to business acquisition and employment agreements were included in 1996
and excluded from the computation of fully diluted per share data in 1995
because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The assumed
exercise of the warrants outstanding were not included in the primary and fully
diluted earnings per share computations as they were not dilutive in 1996 and
anti-dilutive in 1995 and 1994.
F-19
NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES. (continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)
Earnings Per Share: (continued)
Had the conversions of debt and preferred stocks in 1995 taken place at the
beginning of the year, the primary loss per share for 1995 would have been
$(.18).
The per share data for 1994 has been calculated based on the weighted
average shares outstanding (5,289,573 shares) and assuming that the acquisition
shares were outstanding for the full period. Fully diluted earnings per share
(13,136,972 shares) are based on the assumption that all common stock
equivalents were converted as of the beginning of the year. Earnings per share
have been restated for all periods presented to include the acquisition of
Innovative.
Reclassification:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1994 financial
statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.
Combining Financial Statements and Principles of Combination:
The combining statements of operations and cash flows for 1994 present the
combined results of operations and cash flows of MCS and those of SCSI for the
year ended June 30, 1994 and the results of operations of Innovative for the
year ended September 30, 1994. These financial statements give effect to the
consolidation and merger of these companies (but not Hillside) as if their
consolidation and merger was effected as of July 1, 1993.
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts
receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial
institutions which at times, may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are
generally limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's
customer base. Management continually reviews its trade receivables credit risk
and has adequately allowed for potential losses.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-20
NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES. (continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)
New Accounting Standards:
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", effective for the year ended June 30,
1996. This statement establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
long-lived assets (including goodwill) to be held and used as well as those to
be disposed of. The statement requires management to periodically review these
assets in light of certain events or circumstances which may effect the
recoverability or carrying value of said assets and to adjust the value downward
or to dispose of the asset accordingly. The adoption of this standard did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or its results of
operations.
Although the Company does not presently have any stock-based compensation
plans, the Company is considering the adoption of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation". This statement establishes financial accounting and
reporting for stock-based employee compensation plans.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS.
Sun 2000:
On June 23, 1994, the Company, pursuant to the terms of a stock acquisition
agreement with Sun 2000 (a corporation organized under the laws of the British
Virgin Islands) exchanged 94,413 shares (944,131 pre-reverse split shares) of
its common stock and 30,900 (309,000 pre-reverse split shares) of its Series B
Convertible voting preferred stock for 100% of the common stock of both SCSI and
MCS. Each of the preferred shares was convertible to 241.86 shares of common
stock and has the equivalent current voting rights for the first two years
subsequent to issuance; thereafter, the conversion ratio is one-to-one with each
preferred share receiving one vote.
The transaction was accounted for as a consolidation and merger of MCS and
SCSI and an acquisition by these companies of Hillside, because, among other
factors, the assets, revenues and earnings of MCS and SCSI significantly
exceeded those of Hillside and the management of MCS and SCSI controlled the
Company subsequent to the acquisition.
F-21
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS. (continued)
Sun 2000: (continued)
At the date of acquisition, Hillside had liabilities in excess of its
assets in the amount of approximately $900,000. This amount was, in effect,
Micro Computer Store, Inc. and Sun Computer and Software, Inc.'s cost of the
acquisition. Accordingly, this amount was attributed to goodwill. In addition,
transaction expenses amounting to $310,000 were also included in goodwill,
resulting in total goodwill at June 30, 1994 of $1,210,000. The additional costs
of $310,000 were comprised of $110,000 for professional fees and $200,000 for
the termination of an employment agreement with the former CEO of Hillside. Of
the professional fees, approximately $50,000 was paid for by the stockholders of
Sun 2000 on behalf of the Company.
Preacquisition contingency adjustments and other previously contingent
transaction expenses amounting to approximately $836,000 were recognized during
the year ended June 30, 1995. These were comprised of: $368,000 to terminate
employment agreements with former officers of Hillside, $287,000 of estimated
losses relating to various legal proceedings associated with the former
operations, $125,000 for a finders fee, and, $56,000 of various other net items.
These amounts, totalling approximately $2,046,000, were recorded as
goodwill, which is viewed as organizational costs and were amortized entirely
during the year ended June 30, 1995.
American Computer Systems Corp.:
As of February 6, 1995 (the "Closing"), ATEC, pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement, acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American
Computer Systems Corp., a New York corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Laptop and Office Solutions, Inc. (hereinafter American Computer Systems Corp.
and Laptop and Office Solutions, Inc. are collectively referred to as "ACS")
from the sole shareholder of ACS. ACS is a computer systems integration company
located in New York City. As consideration for the shares of ACS stock, the
Company agreed to issue the Company's preferred stock as follows:
1. Shares of Series D Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value of
$1,000,000;
2. Shares of Series F Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value of $334,000;
3. Shares of Series E Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value of
$1,000,000 on the one year anniversary of the Closing.
The preferred shares have been valued based on the specified dollar amount
equivalents of common stock of the Company into which they are convertible (see
Note 5), resulting in a discount from par value on their issuance.
F-22
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS. (continued)
American Computer Systems Corp.: (continued)
The Company also agreed to issue shares of the Company's common stock up to
a maximum value of $1,664,000 over a three year period, subject to ACS meeting
certain performance criteria of minimum annual revenues of $12,600,000 plus 10%
annual increases and minimum annual income before taxes of $315,000 plus 10%
annual increases. The performance related common stock payments will be valued
according to the average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Company's
shares during the ten-day trading period preceding December 31 of each year.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method. The cost
of the ACS acquisition at the closing date amounted to approximately $1,690,000,
including the fair value of preferred stocks to be issued therefor. The
investment in ACS exceeded the net assets acquired by approximately $1,496,000
which has been recorded as goodwill.
Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement and based on the
achievement of certain revenue and profitability criteria, the Company issued an
additional 352,847 shares of its common stock valued at $283,000. This
additional cost of the acquisition has been recorded as goodwill.
CONY Computer Systems, Inc.:
On March 31, 1995 (the "Closing"), ATEC, pursuant to the terms of a stock
purchase agreement, acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
CONY Computer Systems, Inc. (a Connecticut corporation located in Norwalk, CT).
As consideration for the shares of CONY stock, the Company agreed to issue
437,990 shares of its common stock as well as shares of Series D Preferred Stock
with an aggregate par value of $1,000,000.
The preferred shares have been valued based on the specified dollar amount
equivalents of common stock of the Company into which it is convertible (see
Note 5), resulting in a discount from par value on their issuance.
The Company also agreed to issue shares of the Company's common stock up to
a maximum value of $1,000,000 over a three year period subject to CONY meeting
certain performance criteria of minimum annual revenues of $12,000,000 plus 10%
annual increases and minimum annual income before taxes of $200,000 plus 10%
annual increases. The performance-related common stock payments will be valued
according to the average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Company's
shares during the ten-day trading period preceding December 31 of each year.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method. The cost
of the CONY acquisition amounted to approximately $948,000, including the fair
value of preferred stocks to be issued therefor. The investment in CONY exceeded
the net assets acquired by approximately $665,000 which has been recorded as
goodwill.
F-23
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS. (continued)
CONY Computer Systems, Inc.: (continued)
Pursuant to a Board of Directors resolution in June 1996, the Company
issued 77,512 shares of its common stock valued at $108,634 to the former
stockholders of CONY as an adjustment of the original purchase price.
Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement and based on
the achievement of certain revenue and profitability criteria, the Board
authorized the issuance of an additional 352,847 shares valued at $283,000. The
total additional cost of the acquisition of $391,634 has been recorded as
goodwill.
Innovative Business Micros, Inc.:
On June 14, 1996, (the "closing"), the Company, pursuant to the terms of a
stock purchase agreement, issued 4,900,000 shares of its common stock in
exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Innovative Business Micros,
Inc. ("Innovative"). The acquisition has been accounted for under the pooling of
interests method and, accordingly, the Company's consolidated and combined
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and operations
of Innovative for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and for the years ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994.
Pro Forma Information:
The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the
consolidated results of operations as if Hillside, ACS and CONY had been
acquired as of the beginning of the periods presented, after including the
impact of certain adjustments such as elimination of intercompany transactions,
amortization of intangibles and related income tax effects. The summary also
includes the results of operations of Innovative for the years ended September
30, 1995 and 1994. The summary does not include the former bedding operations of
Hillside nor does it include adjustments relating to officer/employee

F-24
NOTE 3 - NONMONETARY TRANSACTION.
In February 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with the Intrac
Group (a wholesale advertising agency/broker) under which it exchanged inventory
for various credits including advertising and other business items. These
credits were recorded based on the cost of the the Company's inventory
(management's estimate of the credits' fair market value) of $548,000 less the
cash paid by Intrac of $100,000. These credits were to be used by the Company to
purchase various business items including advertising in various media. The
terms of the agreement called for the Company to first reimburse Intrac for
Intrac's wholesale cost of the advertising purchased; the Company could then
utilize these credits to "pay" for the difference between Intrac's wholesale
cost and the retail value that the Company would otherwise be required to pay.
Management initially determined that it would either utilize these credits
(requiring an estimated $2,250,000 in cash outlays) or sell them over the next
several years.
In June 1995, the Company tried to utilize a portion of the media
advertising credits and discovered that the cash required was in excess of the
cost of acquiring the product in the market place. The Company concluded that it
would not be economically feasible to devote the effort necessary to utilize or
sell these credits and therefore the credits were worthless. Accordingly, they
were written off as a direct charge to operations in 1995. In May 1996, the
Company sold the media advertising credits for $5,000.
NOTE 4 - DEFERRED SALES TAX OBLIGATION.
In April, 1994, the Company negotiated a settlement with the New York State
Department of Taxation and Finance regarding certain sales tax obligations
whereby penalties were abated leaving a balance due of approximately $843,000.
The agreement required an initial payment of $400,000 (which was paid on April
26, 1994) and subsequent monthly payments of $500 per month commencing on
November 15, 1994 (of which $3,000 and $-0- was paid in fiscal years 1996 and
1995). Interest at 10% per annum accrues on balances outstanding. Any additional
principal payments can be made at the Company's discretion. The aforementioned
agreement provides for the parties to negotiate a formal deferred payment
agreement on any balances outstanding as of April 25, 1995. The Company is
awaiting a proposal from the taxing authorities.
The balance outstanding at June 30, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $553,052 and
$502,052, including accrued interest of $112,840 and $61,840, respectively.
NOTE 5 - EQUITY SECURITIES.
Reverse Stock Split:
On September 9, 1994, the Company split its Common, Series A Preferred and
Series B Preferred shares outstanding, issuing one share in exchange for each
ten shares outstanding (a "reverse" split). By action of the board of directors,
the Company did not alter the amounts allocated between the stock accounts and
additional paid-in capital. Per share information has been adjusted
retroactively to reflect the reverse split in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements and related notes as if it had occurred at the beginning of
all periods persented.

An action was commenced by Steinback Braff, Inc. for breach of contract
involving an inventory dispute whereby the plaintiff demands $61,100 plus
interest. The matter is in the discovery stages. Management and its counsel have
no opinion as to its ultimate disposition.
During 1990, a competitor of the Company commenced an action against it and
one of its advertising agents. The complaint seeks $1,000,000 in damages for
alleged disclosure of certain trade secrets, and $10,000,000 in punitive damages
and $10,000,000 based upon allegations that the Company interfered with and
impaired the competitor's business relations. Management believes that there is
no merit to this action. The action has been virtually inactive since
commencement.
A third party lawsuit was commenced against the Company by Mid Hudson
Clarklift as a result of a claim filed against them by a former employee of the

In July 1993, the SEC notified the Company that it was conducting a private
investigation regarding certain transactions which occurred while the Company
operated as a retail bedding business. Counsel has advised that the SEC has not
expanded its inquiry beyond these matters. Although the SEC has not formally
closed the investigation, counsel believes that the investigation will not have
any material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. The Company's
present management, which had nothing to do with the subject matter of the
inquiry, has cooperated fully with the SEC in this inquiry.
The Company is a defendant in various other lawsuits for which certain
provisions have been made in the financial statements. Management is of the
opinion that the ultimate resolution of these actions will not have a
significant effect on the Company's financial statements.
