PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
(A) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS.
Megadata Corporation, (the "Company"), a New York corporation founded
in 1967, is a supplier of information, data services, and software serving the
needs of the aviation industry, primarily airlines, airports, and other aviation
related companies. Its principal business is the delivery of data and software
by subscription from its PASSUR Network of flight tracking systems.
The Company's flight information is derived from the PASSUR (Passive
Secondary Surveillance Radar) System. PASSUR is a passive radar, which, without
emitting any active signals, receives aircraft identification and altitude
information from aircraft transponder transmissions, which are interrogated by
existing secondary surveillance radars.
In the past, the Company's revenues were generated primarily from the
sale of PASSUR radar systems. In response to customer demand and new market
opportunities, over the last two years, the Company has changed its business
model from selling PASSUR systems to selling subscription services to the data
and developing software and decision support products the Company derives from
the Company owned PASSUR Network.
The objective of the new strategy is to (1) considerably increase
available market share; (2) reduce the selling cycle; (3) leverage current
relationships with large airlines and airports to generate greater sales through
value-added products; and (4) gain subscription revenue over time vs. one time
sales and maintenance.
The Company's services address airspace capacity enhancement, airline
and airport operational efficiency, customer service, and safety and security.
This market is in excess of $15 billion. Limited availability of accurate and
timely information and its poor flow throughout the system is a major impediment
to reducing delays and cancellations, improving operating efficiency of airlines
and airports, and timely decision making that is required to deal with
emergencies that might threaten safety and security. Currently there are a
number of large and sophisticated command and control systems designed to help
airlines and airports with these issues, but their performance is limited by the
quality and availability of timely and accurate information input. Access to
domestic and international terminal area information is fragmented and often
controlled and filtered by government sources or not available at all.
As airlines and airports seek to improve profitability by reducing
costs and improving safety and security, PASSUR's data, software and information
products take on an increasingly important and critical role. During the last 24
months, Megadata made a substantial capital investment in installing passive
radar systems in major airports in order to create a information network capable
of providing timely, accurate and critical information to its airline and
airport customers. Furthermore, in the past 12 months the Company upgraded its
technical and development capabilities, and worked in conjunction with its
customers to develop a suite of customer-focused information products directly
aimed at improving the operations of its airline and airport customers. The
Company is continuing to build its own internal sales and marketing
organization. Finally, the Company has developed and continues to develop a
number of valuable commercial relationships with system integrators who can use
its information as part of a larger suite of products and provide greater value
to customers.
-2-
The Company's products, many developed in the last year, include
FlightPerform, FlightSure, RapidResponse, AirportMonitor, and IROPSNet.
FlightPerform, formerly PASTRACK, is an integrated operations control and
management system used by airlines at their dispatch and station control
centers. FlightSure is the product most used by major airports; it provides data
and software for integrated noise management and monitoring systems, as well as
for operations control.
The Company generates revenue by selling either (1) subscription-based
information - derived from a PASSUR system, which is part of the "PASSUR
Network", or (2) equipment - a PASSUR system (included is a sale for an annual
maintenance contract and an additional charge for installation). Under the
subscription-based model, the customer subscribes to the information on a
monthly basis pursuant to a subscription agreement, which may be for a
multi-year arrangement. The agreement also provides that the information from
the PASSUR system cannot be resold or used for unauthorized purposes,
Currently, PASSUR flight track coverage is available for 25 of the top
40 airports in the United States including 9 of the top 10. In addition, 5 of
the top 6 airlines utilize the information data and software information
products derived from the Megadate PASSUR Network. There are over 50 PASSUR
System installations worldwide.
The Company has incorporated the strictest levels of security over both
the information generated by the PASSUR Network and the resulting end users.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The PASSUR system, without emitting any active signals, receives
aircraft identification and altitude information from aircraft transponder
transmissions, which are interrogated by existing secondary surveillance radars.
Received signals are processed in a standard workstation and displayed on a
high-resolution color graphics data display to provide real-time identification
and tracking of aircraft in flight. The display presentation for FlightPerform
is similar to that provided to Air Traffic Controllers. The presentation of
flight tracks can be in real time or can be switched to a mode that permits
observance of historical data for selected time periods.
AIRLINE CUSTOMERS
The PASSUR application software, called FlightPerform, is an accurate
source of critical information used to enhance situational awareness. Airlines
use the information to drive a number of operating efficiencies that improve
performance, increase customer satisfaction, and operating profits. These
include:
-- Accurate arrival and estimated time of arrival ("ETA") information
available for airlines, particularly during irregular operations. The
information is also expandable for terminal passenger data services such as
Flight Information Display Systems ("FIDS") or other displays.
-- The ETA information can be utilized to provide compliance with the
aviation community's goal to provide timely and accurate flight information to
customers.
-- Accurate arrival data and ETA's for managing airport operations.
With better arrival information airlines can more effectively manage connecting
flights during push periods. This tool complements gate management and staff
scheduling programs and thus, enhances productivity improvements for ground
personnel and support functions.
-- Accurate information for airlines to help manage diversions. A more
accurate picture of the terminal airspace and current holding patterns enables
airlines to make better decisions about whether to divert aircraft during
irregular operations.
-- Ability to replay flight events to support post operations analysis.
The playback of flight tracks and events allows airlines to conduct a more
thorough analysis of those events and thus, create opportunities to improve the
efficiency and safety of operations.
-3-
-- Enhance Safety and Security. Real time situational awareness and an
immediate replay capability provide airlines and governmental agencies the
ability to be fully informed and proactive in responding to emergency events.
-- Enhance the collaborative decision making process at the airport by
providing a web-based interactive decision making tool (IROPSNet) to allow the
FAA, airlines, and the local Port Authority the ability to better communicate
and make more effective decisions during irregular operations.
AIRPORT CUSTOMERS
The PASSUR system can be integrated to work with noise monitoring and
measuring equipment in a configuration that will supply a correlation between
aircraft location and noise levels generated by the aircraft. With this
real-time information, an airport noise abatement officer can enforce the laws
and regulations regarding noise levels emitted by an aircraft. When used as part
of an airport noise monitoring system, airport managers and noise control
officers can correlate noise events in the local community with specific airline
flight tracks.
PASSUR is used by many of the largest airports in the country and in
different parts of the world. Currently, over 20 of the largest airports around
the world utilize PASSUR as part of their daily operations. Trials are also
underway at several additional airports.
In fiscal 2000, the Company introduced an Airport Operations version of
FlightPerform. This product provides airports a predictive anticipatory
operations decision-making tool to effectively plan for arriving aircraft as
well as a playback capability for post operational analysis and planning. During
fiscal 2001, the Company began development of new data and software products, in
direct response to customer requests and needs, including AirportMonitor (real
time updates to educate the local community on flight behavior relating to noise
issues) and RapidResponse (immediate situational awareness and replay
capabilities to enhance safety and security). The Company anticipates that these
products will become available for general release during fiscal 2002.
(B) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS.
Not applicable.
(C) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
The Company is a supplier of information, data services, and software
intended to satisfy the needs of the aviation industry, primarily airlines,
airports, and other aviation related companies. Its principal business is the
delivery of data and software by subscription from the PASSUR Network of flight
tracking systems.
1. PRODUCTS.
The Company has transitioned from being a leading supplier of passive
surveillance systems (a capital equipment business) to a provider of
subscription based data and information products supplied by its PASSUR Network.
These products leverage the extensive passive surveillance data available
through the PASSUR Network to provide application-specific efficiency tools to
airlines, airports and related commercial businesses.
-4-
(i) PASSUR Systems
The PASSUR system, and the associated data and software products are a
reliable and cost effective source of time critical and valuable information
about the position and flight path of aircraft. PASSUR is the engine that drives
all present and future data, information, and solution products. The Company,
under an exclusive license for patented technology owned by a third party, has
used its proprietary hardware, data, and software to develop an enhanced line of
products. This license agreement, which extends for the life of various patent
expirations through the year 2013, is important in protecting the unique nature
of the Company's PASSUR product line. These PASSUR systems receive and process
aircraft identification from aircraft transponder transmissions interrogated by
existing secondary surveillance radars.
(ii) Custom Hardware and Software Activities
The Company is not involved in specialized research and development
projects sponsored and paid for by customers.
2. SERVICES.
(i) Information Services from the PASSUR Network
Information Services include timely, accurate, user-friendly
information important to the efficient operation of airlines and airports. The
Information Services leverage the PASSUR Network, and are tailored to address
specific customer requirements, many of which can only be satisfied by
information generated from the PASSUR Network. The services provide airline and
airport customers with specific and timely information needed to efficiently
manage their airport, airside, and ground operations. The ETAs generated from
the PASSUR system are an example of an information service currently being used
throughout the customer network.
(ii) Solution Services from the PASSUR Network
The Solution Services are a series of decision support tools and
software solutions developed to improve quality and operating efficiency of
specific airline and airport operations. Megadata currently provides a complete
solution to customers through system integrators, primarily in the airport

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUE
The Company has transtiioned from a seller of equipment (PASSUR systems) to a
provider of subscription-based data and decision support information supplied
from its PASSUR Network. This change by management in the business model
contributed to the decline in revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31,
2001 ("fiscal 2001"). Revenues during fiscal 2001 decreased by approximately
$816,000, or 46%, to $941,000 in fiscal 2001 from $1,757,000 in fiscal 2000.
This decrease was primarily due to the fact that the Company did not sell any
PASSUR systems during fiscal 2001, as a result of Company's strategy to replace
one-time system sales with recurring subscription-based revenues.
Management is concentrating its efforts on the sale of information from the
Company owned PASSUR network rather than on system sales. Subscription-based
revenues increased approximately $322,000, or 257%, for fiscal 2001, when
compared to fiscal 2000. This increase partially offset the decrease in PASSUR
System sales and upgrades revenues of approximately $1,079,000, or 98%, for
fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000. The Company will sell PASSUR Systems
only at a customer's specific request.
Revenue during fiscal 2000 increased by approximately $656,000, or 60%, to
$1,757,000 in fiscal 2000 from $1,101,000 in fiscal 1999. This growth was
primarily due to the increase in system sales as well as subscriptions and
maintenance revenues of approximately $629,000, $113,000 and $33,000
respectively in fiscal 2000 and 1999.
The Company shipped eight and installed ten Company-owned PASSUR
systems during fiscal 2001, as part of the "PASSUR Network" and
classified as such on the balance sheet included in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K. The Company sells the information from the "PASSUR
Network" to multiple users. With 24 Company owned PASSUR's located at
various airports throughout the continental United States at the end of
fiscal 2001, the Company believes the revenue stream from "PASSUR
Network" in the form of subscriptions based revenue will continue to
increase steadily.
Management has decided to discontinue marketing various non-PASSUR product
offerings; however, these products continue to contribute slightly to the
revenue base from the sale of existing inventory, along with minor service and
repair revenues. The Company recorded non-PASSUR revenues of approximately
$32,000 for fiscal 2001 as compared to approximately $77,000 in fiscal 2000.
-10-
COST OF SALES
Costs associated with equipment sales consist primarily of purchased materials,
direct labor and overhead costs. Costs associated with service and subscription
revenues primarily consist of direct labor, overhead costs and the amortization
of certain equipment. Also included in costs of sales is the unabsorbed labor
and overhead costs relating to the production of the PASSUR systems. Cost of
sales in each reporting period is impacted by the number of PASSUR systems that
are in production as unabsorbed production costs are expensed in costs of sales
in each period.
During fiscal 2001, cost of sales decreased by approximately $398,000, or 46%,
as compared to fiscal 2000 since the Company did not sell any PASSUR systems
during the year. During fiscal 2000, the Company sold three PASSUR systems and
recorded the costs related to such sales.
Cost of sales during fiscal 2000 of $860,000, increased by $621,000, as compared
to fiscal 1999. Contributing to this increase in cost of sales were: the
increased sale of PASSUR Systems; the write-off of $126,000 of inventory
associated with all non-PASSUR product lines which the Company decided to
discontinue as well as other obsolete inventory; increased costs associated with
the expanding PASSUR Network operation including connection costs in the amount
of $145,000; and depreciation charges associated with the Company owned PASSUR
Network of $136,000.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development expenses of $288,000 in fiscal 2001
increased approximately $139,000, or 94%, as compared to fiscal 2000. The
Company continues to invest in research and development to develop additional
applications for its PASSUR customers. Research and development efforts include
activities associated with the enhancement and improvement of the Company's
existing hardware, software and information products. There were no customer
sponsored research and development activities during fiscal 2001 and fiscal
2000. Research and development expenses are funded through current operations.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,644,000 in fiscal 2001
increased by approximately $425,000, or 35%, as compared to fiscal 2000.
Increases occurred in salaries (additional sales and marketing personnel were
hired), professional and consulting fees, travel, promotion and advertising
expenses. The Company is continuing to increase its sales and marketing efforts
in order to market new and existing products. The Company expects that its sales
and marketing expenses in fiscal 2002 will continue to grow as part of the
Company's effort to focus on the new business strategy. The Company is also
increasing its presence at industry conventions throughout the United States and
Europe.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Interest income and interest expense to unrelated parties was not significant in
fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000.
Interest expense-related party increased by approximately $53,000, or 43%, in
fiscal 2001, as compared to fiscal 2000. The increase is due to additional
borrowings the Company incurred during fiscal 2001 of $2,140,000 from its
significant shareholder.
Interest expense - related party increased by approximately $41,000 in fiscal
2000, as compared to fiscal 1999, due to increased borrowings during fiscal
2000. Interest expense decreased by $54,000 in fiscal 2000, as compared to
fiscal 1999, due to the Company's repayment of the mortgage on the building as a
result of the sale of the building.
-11-
INCOME TAXES
The provisions for income taxes for each year relate to state and local minimum
taxes. The Company has available approximately $8,300,000 in tax loss
carryforwards to offset possible future income. The Company also has available
$25,000 in general business tax credit carryforwards. These carryforwards expire
in various tax years through 2021. The Company has provided a full valuation
allowance on the net deferred tax asset, of approximately $3,300,000, which
primarily consists of the net operating loss carry-forwards and available tax
credits
NET LOSS
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,629,000, or $.47 per diluted share, during
fiscal 2001, as compared to a net loss of $583,000, or $.22 per diluted share in
fiscal 2000.
During fiscal 2001, total costs and expenses of $2,394,000 were higher than
total revenues and resulted in a loss from operations of $1,454,000. Total costs
and expenses increased by $166,000, or 7%, as compared to such costs in fiscal
2000. Increased costs associated with the placement, operation, development, and
marketing of the Company owned PASSUR Network contributed to the additional
loss.
During fiscal 2000, total costs and expenses of $2,228,000 were higher than
total revenues and resulted in a loss from operations of $471,000. Total costs
and expenses increased by $853,000 or 62% as compared to fiscal 1999. Despite
the increase in revenues of almost 60% in fiscal 2000, increased costs
associated with the placement, operation, development, and marketing of the
Company owned PASSUR Network contributed to the additional loss.
QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table provides unaudited quarterly consolidated results of
operations for each quarter of fiscal years 2001 and 2000. The Company believes
this unaudited information has been prepared substantially on the same basis as
the annual audited financial statements and all necessary adjustments,
consisting of any normal recurring adjustments, have been included in the
amounts stated below to present fairly the Company's results of operations. The
operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for any future period. Certain balances have been reclassified
to conform to the presentation of balances as stated in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the
operations of the Company including selling prices, capital expenditures, and
operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At October 31, 2001, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets
by $905,000; and at October 31, 2001, the Company's stockholders' deficit was
$989,000. For fiscal 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,629,000.
-13-
Management is addressing the working capital and stockholders' deficiencies and
operating losses by aggressively marketing its PASSUR information capabilities
in its existing product lines as well as in new products which are currently
being developed and deployed. It is also increasing the size of the Company
owned PASSUR network, which management believes will lead to increased
subscription-based revenues. In addition, the Company will attempt to obtain
external financing, and if such external financing is not consummated, the
Company has a commitment to receive additional financial support from a
significant shareholder through the end of fiscal 2002. Such commitment for
financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the
Company in addition to the deferral of principal and interest payments due on
the existing loans, if deemed necessary.
Net cash used by operating activities for fiscal 2001 was approximately
$744,000. Cash flow provided by financing activities of approximately $2,131,000
is primarily from $2,140,000 in notes payable - from a related party. No
principal payments on notes payable - related party were made during fiscal
2001.
Cash flow used in investing activities for fiscal 2001 was approximately
$1,447,000 and consisted primarily of investments in the Company's PASSUR
network as well as capitalized software development costs.
The Company was unprofitable for fiscal 2001. The Company anticipated increased
revenues for fiscal 2001, which could have reduced the Company's current loss
during fiscal 2001. However, the aviation market has been impacted by continued
budgetary constraints due to both the downturn in the current economy and the
recent terrorist events of September 11, 2001. Additionally, the aviation market
is extensively regulated by government agencies, particularly the Federal
Aviation Administration and The National Transportation Safety Board, and
management anticipates that new regulations relating to air travel will be
issued. Since substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from
either airports or airlines, it is premature to evaluate the impact, if any,
that any new regulations or changes in the economic situation of the aviation
industry could have on the future operations of the Company, either positively
or negatively.
Interest by potential customers in the information and data software products
obtained from the PASSUR Network remains strong and the Company anticipates an
increase in future revenue. However, the Company cannot predict if such revenues
will materialize. If sales do not increase, additional losses may occur and
could continue. The extent of such profits or losses will be dependent on sales
volume achieved.
CERTAIN RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In fiscal 2001, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and
significant shareholder of the Company, loaned the Company $2,140,000 under
promissory notes bearing interest at 9% per annum and maturing at December 31,
2001. As of October 31, 2001, the total notes payable due to Mr. Gilbert totaled
$3,090,000 and are secured by the Company's assets. On January 1, 2002, the
Company and Mr. Gilbert extended the maturity date of notes due Mr. Gilbert to
December 31, 2002.
On June 30, 2000, Mr. Gilbert converted certain promissory notes of the Company,
which matured on that date into shares of common stock of the Company. The notes
were originally issued by the Company between November 1998 and August 1999 in
exchange for financing provided by Mr. Gilbert. Mr. Gilbert converted the full
principal amount of the two notes and part of the principal amounts of nine
other notes, together with interest accrued thereon (an aggregate amount of
$583,144, including accrued interest) into 466,515 shares of common stock of the
Company, at the conversion rate of $1.25 per share.
-14-
On October 31, 2000, Mr. Gilbert exercised a warrant for 500,000 shares of
common stock of the Company (at its exercise price of $1.25 per share) in
exchange for the cancellation of debt owed by the Company to Mr. Gilbert in the
amount of $625,000, which debt matured on October 31, 2000. The Company
originally issued the warrant to Mr. Gilbert in June 1997 as part of a financing
agreement with Mr. Gilbert.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED
ASSETS, which supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT
OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. The basis for
recognition and measurement model under Statement 121 for assets held for use
and held for sale has been retained. Statement 144 removes goodwill from its
scope, thus eliminating Statement 121's requirement to allocate goodwill to
long-lived assets to be tested for impairment. The accounting for goodwill now
is subject to the provisions of Statement 141/142 on business combinations and
goodwill and other intangible assets. Statement 144 provides guidance on
differentiating between assets held and used, held for sale, and held for
disposal other than by sale. Statement 144 continues to require a three-step
approach for recognizing and measuring the impairment of assets to be held and
used. Statement 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001 and is to be applied prospectively. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material
impact on the Company financial position, result of operations or liquidity.
RISK FACTORS; FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations and the information provided elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-K (including, without limitation, "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above)
contain forward-looking statements regarding the Company's future plans,
objectives, and expected performance. These statements are based on assumptions
that the Company believes are reasonable, but are subject to a wide range of
risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause the Company's
actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements referred to above. These factors include, among others, the
uncertainties related to the ability of the Company to sell data subscriptions
from its PASSUR network, and to make new sales of its PASSUR and other product
lines due to potential competitive pressure from other companies or other
products as well as the current uncertainty in the aviation industry due to the
recent terrorist events. Other uncertainties, which could impact the Company,
are uncertainties with respect to future changes in governmental regulation
affecting the products and its use in flight dispatch information services and
the impact on the Company's business and the dependence on the significant
shareholder's continued support. Additional uncertainties are related to the
Company's ability to find and maintain the personnel necessary to sell,
manufacture, and service its products.
-15-
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is exposed to market risk from potential changes in interest rates.
The Company regularly evaluates these risks. The Company believes the amount of
risk relating to interest rates is not material to the Company's financial
condition or results of operations. The Company has not and does not anticipate
entering into derivative financial instruments.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA.
See Part IV, Item 14(a)(1) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for Annual
Financial Statements.
See Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for selected Quarterly
financial data.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Megadata
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit) equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2001. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries at October 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended October 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2001
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Megadata Corporation, (the "Company") is a supplier of information, data
services, and software intended to satisfy the needs of the aviation industry,
primarily airlines, airports, and other aviation related companies. Its
principal business is the delivery of data and software by subscription from the
PASSUR Network of flight tracking systems. The Company also sells PASSUR Systems
only at specific customer requests. The Company operates in one operating
segment, providing its customers flight tracking information.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
At October 31, 2001, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets
by $905,000 had a stockholder's deficit of $989,000, and the Company incurred a
net loss of $1,629,000 for the year ended October 31, 2001.
Management is addressing the working capital and stockholders' deficiencies and
operating losses by aggressively marketing its PASSUR information capabilities
in its existing product lines as well as in new products which are currently
being developed and deployed. It is also increasing the size of the Company
owned PASSUR network, which management believes will lead to increased
subscription-based revenues. In addition, the Company will attempt to obtain
external financing, and if such external financing is not consummated, the
Company has a commitment to receive additional financial support from a
significant shareholder through the end of fiscal 2002. Such commitment for
financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the
Company in addition to the deferral of principal and interest payments due on
the existing loans, if deemed necessary.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Megadata
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY
The Company follows the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 97-2, ("SOP 97-2"), SOFTWARE REVENUE
RECOGNITION, as amended. SOP 97-2 delineates the accounting for software
products, maintenance and support services and consulting revenues. Under SOP
97-2, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is determinable and collection of the
resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For arrangements involving multiple
elements (e.g. maintenance, support and other services), the Company allocates
revenue to each element of the arrangement based on vendor specific objective
evidence of its fair value, or for products not being sold separately, the price
established by management.
The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of products, if and when such
products are sold, and systems when the products or systems are shipped.
Installation charges, if any, are recognized on the date of installation.
Services and maintenance revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over
the service contract period. Revenues from data subscription services are
recognized on a monthly basis upon the execution of an agreement and the
customer's receipt of the data.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Costs included in inventories
consist of materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, that is related to the
purchase and production of inventories.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful life of the improvements or the term of the lease,
including renewal options expected to be exercised, whichever is shorter.
Routine repair and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PASSUR NETWORK
The PASSUR network installations, which include the direct and indirect
production and installation costs incurred for each of the Company owned PASSUR
systems (the "PASSUR Network"), are recorded at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation of $362,260 and $138,382 as of October 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of the asset, which is estimated at 7 years. Units, which
are not placed into service, are not depreciated until such time. During fiscal
2001, the Company capitalized $1,081,000 of costs related to the PASSUR Network.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD,
LEASED, OR OTHERWISE MARKETED." Costs incurred to develop computer software
products and significant enhancements to software features of the existing
products to be sold or otherwise marketed are capitalized, after technological
feasibility is established and ending when the product is available for release
to customers. Once the software products become available for general release to
the public, the Company will begin to amortize such costs to cost of sales.
Amortization of capitalized software costs is provided on a product-by-product
basis based on the greater of the ratio of current gross revenues to the total
of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method
over the estimated economic life of the product beginning at the point the
product become available for general release. Costs incurred to improve and
support products after they become available for general release are charged to
expense as incurred. The assessment of recoverability of capitalized software
development costs requires the exercise of judgment by management. In the
opinion of management, all such costs capitalized as of October 31, 2001 are
recoverable through anticipated future sales of such applicable products. During
fiscal 2001, the Company capitalized $332,000 related to software development
projects, which are not available for general release as of October 31, 2001.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment is
recognized to the extent the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows
expected to result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value.
Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or
fair value, less costs to sell.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
LONG-LIVED ASSETS (CONTINUED)
The Company evaluates the periods of amortization continually in determining
whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful
lives. If estimates are changed, the unamortized costs will be allocated to the
increased or decreased number of remaining periods in the revised life.
COST OF SALES
The Company has not segregated its cost of sales between cost of tangible
products and cost of services, as it is not practicable to segregate such costs.
Costs associated with equipment sales consist primarily of purchased materials,
direct labor and overhead costs. Costs associated with service and subscription
revenues primarily consist of direct labor and the amortization of certain
equipment. Also included in costs of sales is the unabsorbed labor and overhead
costs relating to the production of the PASSUR systems. Cost of sales in each
reporting period is impacted by the number of PASSUR systems that are in
production as unabsorbed production costs are expensed in costs of sales in each
period.
INCOME TAXES
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return.
The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE INFORMATION
The Company reports basic and diluted net loss per common share in accordance
with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." Net loss per common share was computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Conversion of the common
equivalent shares relating to outstanding stock options and warrants is not
assumed since the results would have been antidilutive.

DEFERRED INCOME
Deferred income includes advances received on maintenance agreements and/or
subscription services prepaid either annually or quarterly as well as advanced
payments received for license fees relating to Company software. Revenues from
maintenance and subscription services are recognized in income as earned over
the maintenance and/or subscription period. Revenues from license fees are
recognized in income over the term of such license agreements, typically 5
years.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The recorded amounts of the Company's cash, receivables, accounts payable, and
accrued liabilities approximate their fair values principally because of the
short-term nature of these items. The fair values of the Company's long-term
obligations are estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for
obligations of similar terms and maturities. Under this method, the Company's
fair value of long-term obligations was not significantly different than the
carrying values at October 31, 2001.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and
complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED
ASSETS, which supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT
OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. The basis for
recognition and measurement model under 121 for assets held for use and held for
sale has been retained. Statement 144 removes goodwill from its scope, thus
eliminating Statement 121's requirement to allocate goodwill to long-lived
assets to be tested for impairment. The accounting for goodwill now is subject
to the provisions of Statement 141/142 on business combinations and goodwill and
other intangible assets. Statement 144 provides guidance on differentiating
between assets held and used, held for sale, and held for disposal other than by
sale.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Statement 144 continues to require a three-step approach for recognizing and
measuring the impairment of assets to be held and used. Statement 144 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Company
financial position, result of operations or liquidity.

5. NOTES PAYABLE--RELATED PARTY
On June 30, 2000, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company converted certain promissory notes of the Company that matured on
that date into shares of common stock of the Company. The Company between
November 1998 and August 1999 in exchange for financing originally issued the
notes to Mr. Gilbert. Mr. Gilbert converted the full principal amount of the two
notes and part of the principal amounts of nine other notes, together with
interest accrued thereon (an aggregate amount of $583,000, including accrued
interest) into 466,515 shares of common stock of the Company, at the conversion
rate of $1.25 per share.
On October 31, 2000, Mr. Gilbert exercised a warrant for 500,000 shares of
common stock of the Company (at the exercise price of $1.25 per share) in
exchange for cancellation of debt owed by the Company to Mr. Gilbert in the
amount of $625,000, which debt matured on October 31, 2000. The Company
originally issued the warrant to Mr. Gilbert in June 1997 as part of a financing
agreement with Mr. Gilbert.
During fiscal 2001, Mr. Gilbert loaned the Company $2,140,000 in the aggregate
under certain promissory notes bearing interest at 9% per annum and maturing on
December 31, 2001. As of October 31, 2001, the notes payable due to Mr. Gilbert
totaled $3,090,000 and are secured by the Company's assets. On January 1, 2002,
the Company and Mr. Gilbert extended the maturity date of such notes due Mr.
Gilbert from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the notes
payable are classified as a non-current liability in the accompanying balance
sheet.

6. INSTALLMENT NOTES PAYABLE
Installment notes payable represent notes due on financing of equipment
purchases bearing interest at 13.6% per annum, with the final payments due
October 2002.
7. LEASES
The Company's manufacturing and research and development facility is located in
Bohemia, New York, under a lease that expires in October 2002. Minimum rent
under this agreement approximates $72,000 per year. This lease provides for
additional payments of real estate taxes and other operating expenses over the
minimum rental amount and has a renewal option for an additional three years
8. INCOME TAXES
The Company's provision for income taxes in each year consists of current state
and local minimum taxes.
At October 31, 2001, the Company has available a federal net operating loss
carry-forward of approximately $8,300,000 for income tax purposes which will
expire in various tax years from 2004 through 2021. The Company has
approximately $25,000 of general business tax credit carry-forwards available
which expire in various years through 2008. The Company has provided a full
valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset of approximately $3,300,000,
which primarily consists of the net operating loss carry-forwards and available
tax credits.
9. STOCK OPTIONS
The Company's stock option plans provide for the granting of stock options for
up to 790,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The option price per share
is the fair market value at date of grant, except on the issuance of
non-qualified options in which the option price is not less than 85% of the fair
market value of the common stock. Options granted may be exercised up to a
maximum of ten years from the date of grant; however, individuals who own more
than 10% of the Company's common stock must exercise their options within five
years of the date of the grant and these options are exercisable at 110% of the
fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.
SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", defines a fair value
method of accounting for the issuance of stock options and other equity
instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the
grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the
service period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123,
companies are encouraged, but are not required, to adopt the fair value method
of accounting for employee stock-based transactions.
F - 13
Megadata Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
9. STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
Companies are also permitted to continue to account for such transactions under
Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB Opinion No. 25") but are required to disclose in a note to the
consolidated financial statements pro forma net loss and per share amounts as if
the Company had applied the new method of accounting. SFAS No. 123 also requires
increased disclosures for stock based compensation arrangements.
The Company has elected to comply with APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock options because the alternate fair
value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123 requires use of option
valuation models which were not developed for use in valuing employee stock
options. Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123, pro forma information regarding net loss and
net loss per common share has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement.
The fair value for these stock options was estimated at the date of grant, using
a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively: risk-free interest rates of
4.5% for fiscal 2001 and 6.0% for fiscal 2000 and 5.0% for fiscal 1999, no
dividend yields on the common stock, volatility factors of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock of 1.198 in fiscal 2001, 1.252 in fiscal
2000 and 1.217 in fiscal 1999, and a 8 year weighted average expected life of
the options.
The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. In
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options due to changes in
subjective input assumptions which may materially affect the fair value
estimate, and because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options. For purposes of pro forma
disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over
the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information is as follows:
YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31,

9. STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
During fiscal 2001 and 2000, the Company granted 40,000 and 85,000 common stock
options to certain consultants in exchange for services. These grants resulted

the fiscal year ended October 31, 2001, based on the fair market value of such
options on the date of grant.
10. MAJOR CUSTOMERS

12. ROYALTY AGREEMENT
The Company is a party to a license agreement, as amended in fiscal 2001,
whereby the Company is granted the exclusive right and license worldwide to
manufacture and sell PASSUR systems for use with airline dispatch arrangements
and in other aircraft flight tracking systems. The Company is also granted an
exclusive worldwide license to sell PASSUR systems and/or data subscriptions for
noise applications. The Company pays a royalty based on the number of PASSUR
systems sold and/or installed and generating subscription revenues subject to a
minimum annual royalty of $75,000. This license agreement is in effect until the
date of expiration of the last PASSUR patent to expire, which occurs in 2013.
During October 1999, the license agreement was amended primarily with respect to
when additional royalties would be payable by the Company for new installations
of Company owned systems assuming the minimum annual royalty payment requirement
had been earned. Under the Agreement, these additional royalties are payable
based only upon a percentage of the revenue received from each Company owned
installation.
