PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
SVT Inc. (the "Company" or "SVT"), known until February 1998 as SweetWater,
Inc., and thereafter until February 1, 2002 as SWWT, Inc. was incorporated in
Colorado in March 1991 and re-incorporated in Delaware in September 1993. The
Company's principal office is located at 50 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, New
York 10004, and its telephone number is (212) 571-6904.
Prior to February 1998, the Company (under the name SweetWater, Inc.) was
engaged in the manufacture and sale of portable water filtration and
purification devices. On February 6, 1998, the Company sold substantially all of
its assets to Cascade Designs, Inc., a Washington corporation, for $1,633,425 in
cash. The Company had no further operating business, and reduced its management
and administrative staff to one part-time employee. After completing this sale,
the Company pursued potential business combination transactions.
On April 14, 2000, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ENWC
Acquisition, Inc. entered into a merger agreement with E-Newco, Inc.
("E-Newco"). Under the terms of this agreement, the Company issued 757,778
shares of its series B convertible preferred stock to the stockholders of
E-Newco in exchange for their shares of E-Newco common stock. On August 24,
2000, E-Newco merged with ENWC Acquisition Inc. and became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The series B preferred stock was automatically
convertible into an aggregate of 75,777,162 shares of the Company's common stock
upon the receipt by the Company of additional equity financing of at least $15
million. The holders of the series B preferred stock voted with the holders of
the Company's common stock on an as-converted basis and possessed approximately
95.5% of the outstanding voting power of the Company's stockholders.
Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the E-Newco merger
agreement, including payment of a one-time cash dividend to its pre-merger
stockholders in the aggregate amount of $740,635, the Company's only significant
asset was cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million.
During 2000, the Company purchased certain exchangeable promissory notes and
warrants of SchoolNet, Inc., an application service provider to school
districts, for $500,000. In addition, during 2000 the Company made a $1,000,000
advance to DigaFuel, Inc., an e-commerce solutions provider, in anticipation of
making an investment in DigaFuel. DigaFuel subsequently repaid $565,000 of the
Company's advance in December 2000. In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company
reduced the carrying value of the SchoolNet investment by $250,000 due to
impairment in value resulting primarily from changing market conditions of
companies in SchoolNet's industry sector. The remaining balance was written off
during 2002. Also, the Company wrote off the remaining $435,000 balance of the
DigaFuel advance in the fourth quarter of 2000 as a result of the Company's
assessment of DigaFuel's limited prospects for long term liquidity and the
current difficulty encountered by early stage companies in raising additional
equity financing.
The Company resumed active business operations as a result of a series of
interrelated transactions which resulted in the combination, effective February
1, 2002 (the "Combination"), of the Company and SanVision Technology Inc.
("SanVision"). These transactions consisted of:
o the merger of E-Newco, Inc. with and into SanVision (the "Merger"). At the
effective time of the Merger, (1) the separate corporate existence of
E-Newco ceased, (2) SanVision remained as the
5
surviving corporation in the Merger and became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and (3) each share of SanVision common stock was
converted into a right to receive 0.99228 of a share of the Company's
common stock (with the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued to
any one person rounded up to the nearest whole number). The terms of the
Merger were provided for in detail in the Second Amended and Restated
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 18, 2001, by and among
SanVision, the Company and E-Newco (the "Merger Agreement"), which is
incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.
o amendments to the Company's certificate of incorporation to (1) effect
immediately before the Merger a 1-for-2 reverse split of the Company's
common stock outstanding before the Merger (the "Reverse Split"), (2)
change the Company's name from SWWT, Inc. to SVT Inc., and (3) reduce the
total number of shares of capital stock which the Company has the authority
to issue, from 800,000,000 shares consisting of 750,000,000 shares of
common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, to 120,000,000
shares consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000
shares of preferred stock.
o amendments to the certificate of designation of the Company's series B
preferred stock to, among other things, (1) effect immediately before the
Merger and the 1-for-2 Reverse Split a change in the conversion ratio of
the series B preferred stock into common stock from approximately 1-to-100
to approximately 1-to-10, and (2) provide for the automatic conversion of
the series B preferred stock into common stock immediately before the
Merger. Each share of series B preferred stock, after giving effect to the
Reverse Split and the change in the conversion ratio, was converted into
approximately five shares of the Company's common stock immediately before
the Merger.
In the Combination, taking into account the Merger, the Reverse Split, the
change in the series B conversion ratio and other transactions contemplated in
the Merger Agreement, 36,071,064 shares of SanVision common stock outstanding
before the Merger were converted into 35,792,599 shares of Company common stock,
which shares represent approximately 87.50% of the sum of the 40,725,826
outstanding shares of common stock after the merger and the 180,000 shares
issuable upon exercise of outstanding Company stock options.
On March 13, 2002, SanVision was merged into SVT and ceased to exist as a
subsidiary of SVT.
BUSINESS OF SVT
Until the Combination with SanVision, the Company was not conducting any
operations and had only one part-time employee. Since the Combination, SVT has
owned SanVision and operated its business. As a result, the following is a
description of SanVision's business prior to and since the Combination. As used
below in this Item 1 only, "SVT" therefore will refer to SanVision prior to the
Combination, and to the Company combined with SanVision after the Combination.
SVT provides Information Technology ("IT") related professional services to
businesses. These services enable its clients to combine the scope and
efficiencies of the new web-based technologies with their existing business
processes, such as managing procurement, selling products and services,
providing customer service, conducting supplier transactions, communicating with
their employees over the web, and maintain their IT infrastructure. SVT offers a
broad range of IT services to its clients who desire to outsource any such
services or retain outside consultants to supplement their in-house IT
initiatives. SVT's application development services include all facets of IT
solutions, from writing custom codes for new applications to web enabling
existing applications to seamless systems integration. SVT also provides
post-production managed services for maintenance of its clients' applications
and systems infrastructure, including databases, networks and operating systems
administration to help maintain, monitor, support and upgrade complex and high
performance systems and applications 24 hours a day, 7
6
days a week. Currently, SVT focuses on marketing its IT solutions and managed
services primarily to large companies in industries that have historically
devoted relatively large percentages of their overall operating budgets to
information technology, such as the financial services, insurance, media and
telecommunications industries. We believe that SVT offers a number of benefits
and differentiated services to its clients, which enables SVT to capitalize on
the rapid growth in the IT services industry. In all of SVT's client
engagements, it applies its methodology and quality assurance process to deliver
these services, so as to maintain a high level of quality demanded by major
corporations and global institutions that use its services, at a reasonable
cost.
SVT began operation of its current lines of business in October 1997. It
currently has approximately 90 employees and approximately 20 independent
contractors in the U.S. In addition, there are approximately 20 employees in
India as well as five trainees in North America.
For purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," we
believe that SVT operates in one segment because substantially all of SVT's
revenues are attributed to, and substantially all its assets are located in, the
United States. In addition, as of December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002,
substantially all of SVT's long-lived assets were located in the United States.
As of December 31, 2002, a total of approximately $108,000 of long-lived assets
(a substantial portion of which relates to 2001 acquisitions) were recorded in
SVT's subsidiary in India.
INDUSTRY INFORMATION
The following discussion includes data concerning the information technology
professional services industry that SVT obtained from material published by
independent sources which generally indicate that they have obtained information
from sources that they believe are reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy
and completeness of the information.
Worldwide demand for IT services had been growing rapidly until the past two
years. However, the growth has not only slowed down, many areas are experiencing
a severe downturn. Despite recent downward pressure on IT spending, the pace of
technological advance is continuing. In order to remain competitive, companies
are increasingly required to adopt emerging technologies, such as e-CRM
technologies, e-business and e-commerce applications, data warehousing, supply
chain management and middleware/enterprise application integration. Many
emerging technologies offer the promise of faster, more responsive, lower cost
business operations. However, some technology spending is also being forced by
compulsory upgrades from major software vendors like Microsoft, without which
the market would probably show an even steeper decline.
IT SERVICES OUTSOURCING TREND
As the Internet started gaining acceptance for e-commerce, most businesses
initially created their web pages as their digital brochures with static product
and services information. However, in order to take full advantage of the
opportunities presented by the Internet for conducting actual business on the
web, merely creating attractive web pages is insufficient. Businesses must use
web-based applications that enable them to conduct sophisticated
business-to-business (B2B) transactions in real time and automate business
processes. However, development, integration and on-going management of such
web-based technologies and applications present major challenges and require a
large number of highly skilled individuals trained in many diverse, new and
developing technologies, which can be inefficient, inflexible and costly. To
develop and run effective new web-based applications and enhance and re-engineer
the core legacy systems for e-business, larger companies need business
strategists, Internet technology experts, creative designers, application
developers, systems integrators and application support personnel. Increasingly,
therefore, companies turn to solutions providers such as SVT to provide these
services,
7
either by outsourcing entire projects, or by retaining outside consulting
talents to supplement in-house IT initiatives. These outsourcing needs had
generated a substantial demand for professional services vendors and
consultants.
OFF-SHORE TREND
Many non-technology companies have made the strategic decision to focus on their
core business and reduce their operating cost structures rather than invest in
the additional large IT staffs that are necessary to evaluate, implement and
manage IT initiatives in a rapidly changing environment. As the global demand
for IT services has increased, the number of qualified technical professionals
in the U.S. had not kept pace with such demand. As a result, some IT service
providers attempted to access the large talent pool in certain developing
countries, particularly India. India is widely acknowledged as a leader in
off-shore software development and has the second largest pool of IT talent
after the U.S. According to a study released in December 1999 by McKinsey &
Company, Inc. on behalf of India's National Association of Software and Services
Companies, India falls in the "high quality - low-cost" quadrant, whereas most
high quality provider countries like Israel, Ireland and Singapore serving the
U.S. market carry higher costs; and most of the other low-cost countries like
China, Philippines, Hungary and Russia do not provide high quality.
Historically, IT service providers have used the off-shore labor pool primarily
to supplement the internal staffing needs of customers. However, evolving
customer demands have led to the utilization of off-shore resources for higher
value-added services. Such services include providing IT solutions and
outsourcing application development, systems integration and maintenance. The
Internet allows skilled Indian professionals to provide such services for
clients in the U.S. from India.
With the severe downturn of the economy since the events of September 11, 2001,
IT services budgets and spending on new technology initiatives have rapidly
declined and the war in Iraq is expected to put further downward pressure on the
economy. IT budgets are being drastically slashed and the resultant oversupply
of IT professionals has significantly reduced the need to hire or retain higher
cost consultants. This has adversely affected the application development
business of the Company along with almost all other U.S. based vendors. It is
for the very same reason the off-shore IT vendors, especially major Indian
companies like Infosys and Wipro, are experiencing a boom in off-shore
development since the projects can still be completed by their clients even with
a drastically reduced budgets.
SVT VERTICAL EXPANSION PLAN
SVT's current business is concentrated in the financial services and insurance
industries. This segment of the market was targeted by SVT primarily because it
is by far the largest vertical segment in the U.S. for application development.
The IT services market for financial institutions is estimated by the Gartner
Group to remain a significant portion of the entire industry in the foreseeable
future. More importantly, major financial institutions have historically been
early in adopting new technologies. The industry is dominated by a limited
number of global institutions and, during the last decade, technology has been a
key driver of competitive advantage among them. Therefore, the same institutions
have been early adapters of all major break-through technologies, first to
client-server configuration (away from mainframe computing), then ERP systems,
networking, etc. Now that these older technologies are giving way to web-based
technologies, providing web technology services to the financial services
industry gives SVT an advantage of lead time on its competitors, due to its
substantial domain knowledge.
However, due to the market trend described above, which is drying up consultant
based application development business, SVT has been focusing more on IT
infrastructure maintenance and management business, that are generally not
industry specific and hence does not need to target primarily the financial
services industry. In fact, the changed focus has also brought about a change in
the target market from major global financial institutions, which are generally
reluctant to outsource their mission critical systems, to middle market
companies in various industries which can consider complete outsourcing to
8
outside vendors like SVT. The management believes that there is a market
opportunity for the Company to build up economy of scale by providing one-stop
shopping for all outsourcing services to many such smaller customers.
The IT solution vendor marketplace in SVT's industry niche has historically been
very fragmented. This is primarily because providing most large institutions
have been and have preferred to retain control by owning the "brain trust" and
institution-specific systems. Therefore, they have traditionally spread the work
among many vendors, some of them smaller public and private companies operating
in specialized horizontal niches and many staff augmentation companies. However,
having established credibility with global institutions in this vertical, as
well as in the media and telecommunication vertical, we believe that SVT can
successfully expand its target market both to other verticals and geographically
within the same verticals.
COMPETITION
Historically, SVT has operated in a large but highly fragmented competitive
environment, which does not have many leaders. Most of its direct competitors
were small to medium sized companies, both public and private, who operated in
certain technologies, certain vertical markets, and/or certain geographic areas,
but did not provide a full service offering. SVT's goal was to provide
end-to-end solutions in the chosen vertical, technology and geographic area to
build a niche that is defensible against larger, better capitalized competitors.
The pace of consolidation in this segment has increased significantly in the
recent years, especially due to the dot-com "melt-down", the recent slow down in
the U.S. economy and the slackening demand for IT services. As SVT's business
was not focused on dot-com start-ups, unlike many of SVT's competitors, the
demise of dot-coms had not materially affected its revenues and profits.
However, as SVT grew rapidly, it faced a much higher level of competitive
pressure, which has and will continue to intensify. Many of SVT's current and
potential competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater
financial, marketing, technical and other resources. Some of these competitors
have a greater ability to provide services on a national or international basis
and may be able to adjust more quickly to changes in customer needs or to devote
greater resources to providing Internet professional services. Such competitors
may attempt to build their presence in SVT's markets by forming strategic
alliances with other competitors or its customers, offering new or improved
products and services to SVT's customers or increasing their efforts to gain and
retain market share through competitive pricing. Some companies have developed
particularly strong reputations in niche service offerings or local markets,
which may provide them with a competitive advantage. Such competition may
adversely affect SVT's gross profits, margins and results of operations.
Furthermore, we believe the barriers to entry into SVT's markets are relatively
low, which enables new competitors to offer competing services. The Company
currently faces competition from major U.S. information technology services
companies with off-shore capabilities, such as Cognizant Technology Solutions
Corp., large international accounting firms and their consulting affiliates,
such as Accenture LLP, KPMG, Deloitte and Touche LLP, etc. and Indian off-shore
giants like Infosys and Wipro, which are also publicly listed in the U.S. In the
managed services business for complete outsourcing services, the Company faces
competition from major outsourcing firms, such as IBM Global Services, Computer
Sciences Corp., Electronic Data Systems Corp. and Perot Systems Corp.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in the market for IT services
include technical expertise, breadth of service offerings, reputation, financial
stability and price. To be competitive, an IT services provider must respond
promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change, evolving
standards and its competitors' innovations by continuing to enhance its service
offerings and expand its sales channels. Any pricing pressure, reduced margins
or loss of market share resulting from its failure to compete effectively could
materially affect its business.

SVT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
SVT offers its clients two broad lines of business for IT services: (1)
application development, including migration and maintenance, e-business
solutions and post-production maintenance; and (2) managed services, including
databases, operating systems, network administration and 24x7 support.
Generally, on application development and systems integration project
engagements, an SVT project team not only designs the application on a
customized basis, but also integrates it with the clients' complex proprietary
systems and databases. Sometimes these applications also need to be integrated
with major third party vendor products, such as IBM server software packages and
e-CRM products. SVT undertakes client engagements both on a project management
basis, where SVT has complete responsibility for managing the project, and also
by providing a team of consultants working under a client's or a third party
project manager's supervision.
On managed services engagements, SVT project teams provide IT infrastructure
performance reviews, maintenance and technical support for client applications,
databases, systems and networks, and provide 24x7 monitoring and support. In
addition, SVT teams help manage high performance and complex websites and
provide various web related managed services like firewall, security, database
management and technical help desk.
In the last three fiscal years, application development services accounted
for 52% (2000), 48.2% (2001) and 32.2% (2002) of SVT's consolidated revenues,
and managed services accounted for 48% (2000), 51.8% (2001) and 67.8% (2002) of
SVT's consolidated revenues. In 2002, 2001 and 2000, 97.9%, 100%, and 100%,
respectively, of the Company's revenues are attributable to the U.S. and 2.1%,
0% and 0%, respectively, are attributable in total to all other countries.
Many of SVT's projects are executed exclusively on-site at the clients' offices
or data centers. Due to the current slowdown in the U.S. economy and the
pressure on client IT service budgets, the marketplace has recorded a sharp rise
in the demand for lower cost off-shore services, notably for services performed
in India. As most of SVT's projects require continuous management of
deliverables and user interface, it is unlikely that they could be efficiently
executed entirely off-shore without any on-site presence. Therefore, SVT has
developed methodologies and processes for flexible on-site/off-shore delivery
capabilities, by engaging a "virtual" project team located at various locations
both in the U.S. and India, which it intends to increasingly use in its
projects. This approach allows SVT to access highly skilled, relatively low cost
information technology professionals in India and to integrate their work on a
client project either on their site or at SVT facilities in the U.S. We believe
that this methodology reduces project cost for clients without sacrificing
quality of execution.
For a company of its size, SVT distinguishes itself from similar IT service with
a few proprietary products, one used in the managed services business and the
others in the application development segment. However, as an IT services
company SVT has not yet attempted to collect a license fee from clients. Rather,
SVT uses these proprietary products to its advantage while competing with major
competitors, like "Big 4" accounting firms, to win application development
project assignments. In addition, SVT has developed several developmental tools,
methodologies and processes that it uses to deliver the projects successfully on
time and on or below budget. These tools either cut down on development time,
increase flexibility or reduce complexity of e-business or other web related
application development.
SVT'S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
We believe that SVT offers a number of benefits and differentiated services to
its clients, which enables it to capitalize on the rapid growth in the
information technology services industry:
10
A BROAD RANGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES OFFERING
We believe that only a few firms provide a comprehensive set of offerings that
are required by larger clients. For example, many traditional IT service
providers do not have the skills required to create interesting web-based
content and provide a favorable user-experience. Advertising and design firms
typically lack the technical expertise and integration skills necessary to
deliver sophisticated software applications that are required to run
increasingly complex business transactions. Most application development firms
and systems integrators do not typically provide a comprehensive range of
post-production managed services. SVT can provide a comprehensive suite of
service offerings delivering the entire end-to-end solution from design to
implementation to integration to maintenance.
PROVEN SCALABLE PROCESSES WITH LEADING METHODOLOGIES, ARCHITECTURE,
DEVELOPMENTAL TOOLS/PRODUCTS
SVT's proven processes, methodologies and quality assurance, which it uses
against major competitors who enjoy a more established reputation and brand-name
recognition, have been successful with global multinational clients in the
financial services industry, such as AIG, Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase. For
example, SVT has successfully used its IT infrastructure expertise, proprietary
products and developmental tools to win projects bidding against major
competitors.
SVT'S OFF-SHORE DELIVERY CAPABILITY AND METHODOLOGY
SVT has developed a virtual project management methodology whereby it is able to
effectively manage professional teams in geographically disperse areas, such as
various client sites and SVT's off-shore development teams in India, that can
provide 24-hour a day development and technical support (due to the time
difference) without sacrificing quality or performance. SVT's Indian recruitment
and training facility provides access to a very deep talent pool at a much lower
cost. Average annual wages in India have historically been approximately 15-20%
of that of their U.S. counterparts. This enables SVT to deliver the same quality
of execution as on-site projects at a significantly lower cost.
SVT'S IN-HOUSE TRAINING FACILITIES
SVT is committed to in-house training facilities in India and in the U.S. that
allow the employees to learn their specialized technical skills in-depth, with
the focus being on practical, hands-on training on live systems and latest
software actually used by clients. SVT's focus on continuous training not only
increase SVT's cost effectiveness vis-a-vis competitors (since clients are
willing to pay more for similarly skilled and trained consultants), but also
provides it with a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining information
technology professionals who wish to work on state-of-the-art technology.
SVT'S CLIENT ENGAGEMENT METHODOLOGY
SVT has a number of executive consultants who are not only adept in technology
but, in addition to their role as project manager or technical lead, also
perform the duties of a client relationship manager. Therefore, by gaining
client confidence with ideas that help the business, such as automating certain
processes that result in cost savings or improved efficiency, they are often
able to generate new projects for SVT.
SVT'S INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
SVT has developed extensive knowledge and experience in the insurance, banking,
media and telecommunications industries, which reduces SVT's learning curve on
new engagements in these industries, and allows it to accurately define and
deliver tailored solutions that effectively address the challenges that its
clients face.
11
BUSINESS STRATEGY
SVT's goal is to be a leading provider of information technology services. We
intend to achieve this goal by emphasizing the following strategies:
GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION
Since inception, SVT has sought and developed clients and relationships almost
exclusively in the Wall Street community in the downtown Manhattan area, where
many of the global financial institutions have located their IT operations.
However, having established credibility with these institutions, SVT is seeking
geographic expansion, both to other large institutions located elsewhere in the
U.S. and Europe, as well as to other locations of the same institutions where
client relationships already exist. We believe that our track record established
with major clients like AIG, JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch and
Citigroup will be helpful, but we are also aware that SVT has grown so far
without a sales force and minimal expenditure on infrastructure, and this
strategy will require an increased level of expenditure in sales and marketing
efforts as well as a higher level of fixed costs.
EXPANDING TARGET MARKET
While SVT has developed considerable vertical industry experience in the
financial services industry, particularly in insurance and investment banking,
and to a lesser extent in media and telecommunication, much of its managed
services expertise is equally applicable to other industries. In particular,
SVT's changed emphasis on managed services and technical support offerings will
necessitate a change of target market focus to other industries and smaller
companies.
BUILDING BRAND EQUITY
Management plans to establish and build recognition of the SVT brand name
through an aggressive marketing strategy, which will emphasize its value
proposition, client roster, full range of services, industry expertise, broad
knowledge of business processes, off-shore capability and its global delivery
model.
CLIENT PARTNERSHIPS
SVT seeks to establish close and long term relationships with its clients. To
the extent its clients are global institutions, partnering with the Company's
existing client base could deepen existing relationships and gain SVT additional
business in the future. We believe that the partnership approach will be even
more important for the middle market clients especially where SVT is currently
seeking exclusive relationship as the outsourcer of all IT services.
OFF-SHORE OFFERINGS
The off-shore business is growing rapidly while all other segments of IT
services business continue to decline. SVT therefore intends to market its
methodology of on-site/off-shore development that can significantly reduce
project cost without sacrificing quality or losing control. Additionally, with
the declining cost and increasing reliability of broadband service, the Company
is exploring the possibility of applying similar methodology and processes to
the managed services area with a view to gaining
12
significant cost
competitiveness for complete outsourcing business versus major "brand name"
competitors and in-house cost.
STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
We intend to develop strategic relationships with major technology providers and
complementary service providers and explore joint marketing opportunities with
partners outside the technology area. On the technology side, currently SVT is a
Microsoft Certified Solution Provider and has been certified by Sun Professional
Services as a preferred provider. SVT intends to establish similar relationships
with other providers, such as e-CRM and web-based EDI (electronic data
interchange) software companies, who have already been successful in
establishing themselves in the marketplace.
SALES AND MARKETING
To date, SVT has generated significant growth in revenues without an organized
sales force. Historically, client engagements and, consequently, revenues were
created primarily by the efforts and contacts of the senior management team, and
other senior technology professionals within SVT who were managing existing
client relationships. SVT has a number of executive consultants who are not only
adept in technology but, in addition to their role as project manager or
technical lead, also perform the duties of a client relationship manager.
Therefore, by gaining client confidence with ideas that help the business, such
as automating certain processes that result in cost savings or improved
efficiency, they are often able to generate new projects for SVT during or upon
completion of their current engagement. In addition, new business has also been
generated from customer referrals within the industry and introductions made by
the diverse network of contacts of SVT management. These efforts have allowed
SVT to grow until now without a full-time sales team. Currently, SVT has a
national sales manager and three sales support personnel.
However, as SVT seeks to expand its business out of the New York area to other
parts of the U.S. as well as to other industry segments, a more formal sales and
marketing infrastructure will need to be organized in order to promote SVT's
value-added services and competitive advantages. One of SVT's objectives in its
sales and marketing efforts is to build "brand equity" since we believe that SVT
can provide the same quality of IT services as its global competitors who enjoy
a much more established reputation and brand name recognition in the
marketplace. SVT has a value proposition for potential clients as it can provide
such services at a significantly reduced cost. Therefore, the task of SVT's
sales and marketing team is to emphasize the following major benefits to
prospective clients:
o a broad range of service offering providing end-to-end solutions,
o proven, scalable methodologies, processes, technology architecture,
proprietary products and developmental tools,
o off-shore/on-site project management capability with virtual project teams
in geographically disperse locations, which reduces cost without
sacrificing quality of execution or losing control,
o blue chip client list and history of partnership with clients to deliver
projects on time and on or under budget, and
o capability of globally recruiting high quality technology professionals and
training them extensively on latest technologies.
However, the management is also aware that any major initiative in sales and
marketing will require investment of additional capital, and raising growth
capital in the current state of economy will be difficult.
SVT's business of providing consulting services is not seasonal in nature. SVT
does not hold any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or concessions that
are material to its business, does not have a material amount of backlogged firm
orders and does not spend a material amount of money on research and development
activities.
13
The majority of the Company's services are performed for large companies located
in the New York City area. Revenues from the Company's three largest customers
(JPMorgan Chase, Velocity Express Corporation and Salomon Smith Barney)
represent approximately 71 percent of total revenues (32 percent, 26 percent and
13 percent, respectively) for the year ended December 31, 2002, the two largest
customers (AIG and JPMorgan Chase) represent approximately 65 percent of total
revenues, (39 percent and 26 percent, respectively) for the year ended December
31, 2001 and the two largest customers (AIG and JPMorgan Chase) represent
approximately 74 percent of total revenues (54 percent and 20 percent,
respectively) for the year ended December 31, 2000. The total accounts
receivable from these customers as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was
$1,295,692 ($295,800, $0 and $999,892, respectively), $2,407,594 ($1,045,489 and
$1,362,105, respectively) and $6,226,829 ($5,258,113 and $968,716,
respectively). The accounts receivable for Velocity Express Corporation, which
represents 26 percent of the Company's total revenue for 2002, is in dispute
with the Company (see "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings" below). The accounts
receivable balance of $2,260,011 due from Velocity Express Corporation as of
December 31, 2002, has been written off due to this dispute and the fact that
the Company's management believes that Velocity Express Corporation does not
have the ability to pay this amount.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
As noted in Item 1 above, many of SVT's projects are executed exclusively
on-site at the clients' offices or data centers.
SVT is headquartered at 50 Broadway in New York City in approximately 2,000
square feet of leased space. It also has leased office space in South Amboy, New
Jersey, and a residential unit in Jersey City, New Jersey, which is used to
temporarily house SVT employees coming to the U.S. from abroad. In addition, SVT
leases a software development and training facility in New Delhi, India, as well
as small recruitment facilities in Calcutta and Madras, India, and Colombo, Sri
Lanka.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
As previously disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2002, Velocity Express Corporation (Nasdaq:
VEXP), a client of the Company, became seriously delinquent in payment for
services rendered by the Company and requested a payment plan, citing cash flow
difficulty. The Company agreed to such a plan for payment. In August 2002,
Velocity defaulted on the payment plan and in October 2002, as permitted under
the payment plan, the Company demanded that all past due payments be paid.
Velocity then terminated certain agreements it had entered into with the
Company, solicited the Company employees working on the Velocity account, and
refused to pay the outstanding invoices.
On October 10, 2002, Velocity filed for an injunction in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York to allow it to continue to
use the software developed by the Company for Velocity without having to pay for
it. On October 25, 2002, the Company countersued Velocity alleging breach of
contract and damages of $10.0 million. On October 29, 2002, the court granted
Velocity's request for the injunction. On November 15, 2002, the federal lawsuit
was dismissed by the court for lack of jurisdiction. Prior to the federal court
dismissal on November 8, 2002, Velocity filed suit in New York State Supreme
Court, alleging breach of contract and seeking compensatory and punitive
damages. On November 13, 2002, the Company filed claims against Velocity in New
York State Supreme Court again alleging breach of contract and damages of $10.0
million.
The Company expects that Velocity will make claims against the Company for
alleged breaches by the Company under its agreements with Velocity. The Company
believes it will prevail for some significant portion of its claims against
Velocity, net of any successful claims by Velocity.
14
The chairman of the board of Velocity is Vincent A. Wasik, a member of the board
of directors of the Company from February 2002 to May 2002. In addition, Walter
A. Carozza, a member of the board of directors of SVT from April 2002 to June
2002, is the brother-in-law of Alex Paluch, a member of the board of directors
of Velocity and of its Technology Committee.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 to a vote of
the Company's securityholders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Trading in the shares of the Company's common stock has been sporadic and in
small volumes since its initial public offering in January 1994. The common
stock traded in the over-the-counter market under the symbol "SWWT" from May
1997 until February 6, 2002, and since then has been trading under the symbol
"SVTV." We cannot predict that an established public trading market will develop
or be sustained. The following table sets forth, for the calendar quarters
indicated, the range of high and low bid quotations for the common stock since
January 1, 2001, as reported by dealers appearing as market makers on the OTC
Bulletin Board. These quotations represent inter-dealer prices, without retail
mark-up, mark-down or commissions and do not necessarily represent actual
transactions:

In May 2000, in connection with the merger of the Company's subsidiary ENWC
Acquisition, Inc. with and into E-Newco, Inc., the Company paid a one-time cash
dividend to its pre-E-Newco merger stockholders aggregating $740,635. This
dividend payment consisted of the cash on the Company's balance sheet
immediately prior to the consummation of the E-Newco merger, less expenses
related to the merger and the settlement of certain claims.
We do not anticipate that the Company will pay dividends in the foreseeable
future.
As of April 10, 2003, there were 178 holders of record of common stock, as shown
on the records of the Company's transfer agent.
As noted in Item 1 of this report, effective February 1, 2002, pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, the Company issued to the seven stockholders of SanVision
35,792,599 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for 36,071,064
shares of SanVision common stock. The issuance of these shares was not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption
provided for in Section 4(2) of the Act for transactions by an issuer not
involving any public offering.
16
Also effective February 1, 2002, the 674,423 shares of the Company's series B
preferred stock outstanding on that date were automatically converted into
6,744,177 shares of common stock, which were not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 in reliance upon both (1) the exemption provided for in Section 4(2)
of the Act, and (2) the exemption provided for in Section 3(a)(9) of the Act for
any security exchanged by the issuer with its existing security holders
exclusively.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
CURRENT BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The IT services industry has been severely impacted by the economic downturn
after September 11, 2001 in general, and the rapid slowdown of the technology
sector in particular. In the application development area, new spending on
technology initiatives has virtually stopped and existing IT budgets are being
drastically reduced. The trend in the marketplace now is to fund only mission
critical IT projects and continue only the essential IT services and to defer or
cancel all other initiatives. Another adverse trend for IT vendors is that many
of their existing customers are terminating their higher priced non-employee
consultants and either replacing them with new employees or exercising their
"right to hire" to absorb some consultants into permanent positions to reduce
costs, which results in lower revenue for the vendor even from their existing
clients.
Under the circumstances, SVT has also lost some business in 2002, mainly due to
further cutbacks from AIG, formerly its largest customer, which decided not to
renew contracts for some of SVT's consultants after the expiration of their
contract term or completion of their projects. In some cases, AIG also cancelled
in midstream projects being serviced by SVT and laid off entire project teams,
writing off large amounts of investment. Moreover, AIG has shifted many IT
projects off-shore to major Indian companies, and continues to do so.
SVT was able to avoid a very substantial decline in revenue during 2002
primarily by focusing on managed services offerings and new business
development. Specifically, cutbacks from major clients like AIG were somewhat
offset by the revenue generated from new clients such as Velocity Express, Citco
and Cigna. However, SVT's largest new client, Velocity Express, is in serious
default in its payment of approximately $2.5 million of accounts receivable to
SVT; this matter is presently in litigation before the New York State Supreme
Court. See "Item 3--Legal Proceedings" above.
Going forward, management believes that the pressure on IT budgets will continue
at least through the third quarter of 2003, if not much longer, primarily due to
the war in Iraq and its consequent effect on the domestic economy. It is likely
that more IT services work, including existing and new application development
projects, will also continue to be shifted offshore, primarily to India.
Therefore, SVT will continue its emphasis on new business development in the
managed services area and will revamp its off-shore capability.
19
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of SVT, Inc. are prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we
are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we
believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which we
believe are the most crucial to aid in fully understanding and evaluating SVT,
Inc.'s reported financial results include the following:
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Historically, SVT's revenue from consulting services has been generated under
time and materials contracts. Revenue from consulting services that are billed
on a time and materials basis is recognized in the period during which the
services are provided. Occasionally, SVT entered into contracts based on a fixed
fee amount. Revenue from the fixed fee contracts are recognized using a
percentage of completion method based on the total costs incurred to date
compared to the total costs to be incurred for the contracts. While our
estimates of the total costs to be incurred have historically been within our
expectations, any significant increase in the expected total costs to be
incurred on our fixed fee contracts could have a material adverse impact on our
operating results for the period or periods in which the revised estimates
arise.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits
based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as
determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously
monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for
estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience and any specific
customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses
have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established,
we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss
rates that we have in the past. Since our accounts receivable are concentrated
in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity
or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material
adverse impact on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future
operating results. Specifically, the Company is in litigation with Velocity
Express Corporation, a company that we believe is presently facing financial
difficulties, to recover approximately $2.5 million of defaulted accounts
receivable plus damages; it is uncertain how much the Company could recover from
Velocity (if at all), assuming the Company is successful with this litigation.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 eliminates the use of the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and
establishes the purchase method of accounting as the only acceptable method on
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." This statement modifies existing generally accepted accounting
principles related to the amortization and impairment of goodwill and other
intangible assets. Upon adoption of the new standard, goodwill, including
goodwill associated with equity method investments, will no longer be amortized.
In addition, goodwill, other than goodwill associated with equity method
investments, must be assessed at least annually for impairment using a
fair-value based approach. The provisions of this statement are required to be
adopted as of the beginning of the first fiscal year after December 15, 2001.
Impairment losses that arise due to the initial application of this statement
are to be reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.
20
In order to complete the transitional assessment of goodwill as required by SFAS
No. 142, the Company was required to determine by the end of the second quarter
of 2002 the fair value of its reporting units and compare it to the reporting
units' carrying amount. To the extent a reporting units' carrying amount exceeds
its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting units' goodwill assets
may be impaired and the Company must perform the second step of the transitional
impairment test.
In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair value of the
reporting units' goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting units' fair
value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase
price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141, to its carrying amount, both
of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is
required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of 2002.
Any transitional impairment charge will be recognized as the cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle in the Company's consolidated statement of
operations. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has determined that the fair value
of its reporting units exceeds the reporting units' carrying amounts and
therefore, goodwill is not impaired. The required continued impairment tests of
goodwill may result in future period write-downs. During the third quarter of
2002, several factors including the continued sluggish economic climate, the
potential loss of a major client and the lack of customer capital expenditure on
software development, led the Company to take a complete impairment write-down
of $1,548,947.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $17.6 million, a decrease of
$6.3 million, or 26.5%, from $24.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.
The decline in the revenues is mostly attributable to a decline in business with
AIG, one of the Company's main clients; as well as the lack of continued revenue
from another client, Velocity, after a dispute arose.
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $12.4 million, a
decrease of $5.2 million, or 30.0% from $17.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001, respectively. The decrease in cost of revenue is primarily
attributable to fewer billable consultants as a result of the drop off in
revenue during 2002 when compared to 2001.
Gross profit fell to $5.3 million, a decrease of 1.0 million, or 15.9%, from
$6.3 million in 2001. Gross profit percentage for 2002 was 29.8% as compared to
26.4% for 2001. The increased profit margin on lower volume was a result of a
better profit margin on non-AIG-related business.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were
$7.9 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 113.5%, from $3.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company
took a $2.3 million bad debt write off specifically related to one client. Also,
our general and administrative expenses increased this year by about $200,000
due to additional legal and accounting costs incurred because we became a public
company with operations.
Stock option compensation expense of $6.125 million for the year ended December
31, 2002 relates to a non-cash charge for the difference between the trading
price of the Company's common stock and the exercise price for stock options
that were granted to employees during the year.
The year end results are heavily impacted by the merger between SWWT, Inc. and
SanVision Technology that was consummated in the first quarter of 2002.
Merger-related costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $18.7
million were incurred related to the combination of SWWT, Inc. and SanVision
Technology Inc. These merger costs of $18,542,455 related to the issuance of
6,135,873 shares of the Company's common stock which was contingent on the
completion of the merger transaction, and other professional fees related to the
merger in the amount of $230,795. Residual merger costs of $34,818 were
reflected in the second quarter of 2002. Certain settlements with regard to
previously accrued merger costs resulted in a reduction of such merger costs in
the aggregate amount of $120,650 in the third quarter of 2002.
Goodwill and other Intangible Impairment writedowns totaled $3,289,904 for the
year ended December 31, 2002, since the acquisitions entered into during the
fourth quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002 did not bring the expected
benefits. The continued slowing of the economy and resulting cutback of IT
budgets resulted in the determination that an impairment had occurred to
purchased goodwill and other intangibles.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $24.0 million, a decrease of
$2.4 million, or 9.1%, from $26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Revenues increased in most major accounts, however that was offset by a decline
in AIG revenues from its peak in early 2001 due to cancellation of several
projects.
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $17.6 million, a
decrease of $1.6 million, or 8.4%, from $19.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000. However, on a percentage of revenues basis, the cost of
revenues increased from 73.0% in 2000 to 73.6% in 2001, thus decreasing the
gross
22
operating margin by 0.6%. The slight decrease in gross operating margin
percentage was largely due to lower revenue growth and the impact of direct
costs. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001
were $3.7 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 18.0%, from $3.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 2000, primarily due to increased sales, marketing
and administrative overhead and increased legal and professional fees.
The effective tax rate was 46.3% for the year ended December 31, 2001 which is
consistent with 45.8% for the year ended December 31, 2000.
QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following tables present certain unaudited consolidated quarterly financial
information for each quarter in the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002. In
the opinion of management, this information has been prepared on the same basis
as the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report and
includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial results set forth herein. Results of
operations for any previous quarter are not necessarily indicative of results
for any future period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had net working capital of $3,103,673. The
Company has historically financed, and continues to finance, its business mainly
with cash flow from operations and has not obtained any outside institutional
equity funding, such as venture capital or private equity funding. Working
capital has declined substantially since December 31, 2001 due mainly to the
reduction in revenue and corresponding accounts receivable as well as the
increase in accrued expenses. However, cash flow from operations varies
significantly from month to month primarily due to changes in net income and
collection of accounts receivable.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,818,847 for the year ended
December 31, 2002, as compared to $3,497,268 for the year ended December 31,
2001, a decrease of 48.0%. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities
during the year ended December 31, 2002 is due primarily to a substantial
decrease in sales and related accounts receivable and the overall net loss as
adjusted for non-cash items when compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
Net cash used in investing activities was $194,576 for the year ended December
31, 2002, as compared to $4,023,237 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The
net cash used in investing activities for 2001 was related to the net cash paid
of $3,206,656 for two business acquisitions completed in late 2001, a deposit
payment of $800,000 for a business acquisition which was effective in January,
2002 and purchases of property and equipment of $17,000. The cash for 2002 was
used primarily for purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $51,614 for the year ended December
31, 2002, as compared to $40,000 provided by financing activities for the year
ended December 31, 2001. The cash used and/or provided by financing activities
in 2002 and 2001 was in connection with borrowings and repayments under SVT's
prior $3,000,000 revolving line of credit facility.
24
Management believes that its current cash balance and cash generated from
operations represented by existing accounts receivable, future accounts
receivable generated from future sales (assuming the Company's level of sales
remain at their current levels or increase) and the collection of such accounts
receivable will be sufficient to satisfy its projected working capital and
planned capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. However, if
the Company requires additional funds to support working capital requirements or
for other purpose, it may seek to raise the funds through public or private
equity financings or from other sources. Additional financing may not be
available, or, if it is available, it may be dilutive or may not be obtainable
on acceptable terms.
In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into obligations and
commitments to make future payments under debt and lease agreements as
summarized in the table below:

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"), effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 2002. SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting
for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under the new rule a liability for
an exit cost can no longer be recognized at the date of an entity's commitment
to an exit plan as defined in Issue 94-3. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for
a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the
liability is incurred. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the
objective for initial measurement of the liability. The Company adopted SFAS 146
as of January 1, 2003. The effect of the adoption of this statement was not
material.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
- - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("SFAS
148"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. SFAS 148
amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The Company adopted SFAS 148 as of January 1, 2003. The effect of the
adoption of this statement was not material as the Company continues to use the
intrinsic value method allowed under SFAS 123.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As discussed in the notes to the financial statements in Item 8 of this report,
until earlier this year SVT's only interest-bearing debt obligation was a $3.0
million revolving line of credit which bore interest at the lender's prime rate
plus 1%. There were only minimal borrowings under this line of credit, which
terminated in early 2002.
25
The Company's earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes
in foreign currency exchange rates in connection with its subsidiary in India.
We do not anticipate any material currency risk to the Company's financial
condition or results of operations resulting from currency fluctuations.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA
See attached Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 attached to this report
on Form 10K.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
As previously reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2002, the board of directors
of the Company authorized the appointment of the firm of Arthur Andersen LLP as
the Company's auditor, to replace the firm of Ernst & Young LLP. Arthur Andersen
LLP had been the auditor for SanVision.
As previously reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24, 2002, the board of directors
of the Company authorized the appointment of the firm of Lazar Levine & Felix
LLP as the Company's auditor, to replace the firm of Arthur Andersen LLP.

STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT
In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into a
stockholders agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement") with certain persons who
either were stockholders of the Company before the Merger or became stockholders
of the Company as a result of the Merger, all of whom are named in the table in
Item 12 of this report (the "Stockholders").
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Stockholders Agreement provides that, from and after the effective time of
the Merger, the Company's board of directors will consist of seven directors
which will be designated as follows:
28
o Sanjay Sethi, Amit Sarkar and Raj Janarthanan (collectively, "the SVT
Stockholders") have the right to designate and submit for election five
directors (the "Class A Directors");
o East River Ventures II, L.P. has the right to designate and submit for
election one director (the "Class B Director"); and
o MCG-SVT LLC has the right to designate and submit for election one director
(the "Class C Director").
The five Class A Directors are Sanjay Sethi, Amit Sarkar, Raj Janarthanan and
Amit Bhatiani (one Class A Directorship is vacant); the Class B Directorship has
been vacant since the resignation of Walter A. Carozza in June 2002; and the
Class C Directorship has been vacant since the resignation of Vincent A. Wasik
in May 2002.
Each Stockholder agreed that, during the term of the Stockholders Agreement, he
or it will take all such actions to effect the election of those persons duly
designated as described above, including the voting of all of his or its stock
for that purpose. The Company and its board of directors agreed to take any and
all actions required, permitted, or necessary to cause such designees to be
elected or appointed to the Company's board of directors, including calling a
regular or special meeting of stockholders of the Company to ensure the election
to or removal from the Company's board of directors of any person or persons so
designated to be so elected or removed, and soliciting proxies in favor of the
election of such designees.
If a director dies, resigns or is removed prior to the expiration of his term as
a director, the person or persons that had the right to designate and have
elected such director will promptly elect a replacement director, and the
Stockholders will effect the election to the Company's board of directors of
such replacement designee to fill the unexpired term of the director whom such
new designee is replacing.
The rights of the SVT Stockholders, East River Ventures II, L.P. and MCG-SVT LLC
to designate and elect directors are not assignable.
The Stockholders Agreement provides that at any regular or special meeting
called for the purpose of removing directors, or in any written consent executed
in lieu of such a meeting of stockholders:
o (A) the SVT Stockholders will have the right to remove any Class A Director
with or without cause, (B) East River Ventures II, L.P., will have the
right to remove a Class B Director with or without cause, and (C) MCG-SVT
LLC will have the right to remove a Class C Director with or without cause;
and
o none of them will have any right to remove or cause to be removed any
director designated by any of the others, except that any director may be
removed by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the other
directors, but only for cause, or may be removed by the affirmative vote of
all the other directors (not just a quorum). Each Stockholder will agree to
vote all of his or its shares of Company securities having voting power
(and any other shares over which he or it exercises voting control) for the
removal of any director upon the request of the person or persons
designating such director and for the election to the board of directors of
a substitute designated by such person or persons.
If the size of the Company's board of directors is increased at any time, the
persons identified above as having the right to designate directors will have
the right to at least proportionate representation on the board of directors
following such increase based on the composition of the board of directors as
between such persons immediately before such increase; however, in no event will
the board of directors consist of more than eleven directors.
29
The Company agreed that from and after the effective time of the Merger,
o it will cause each person designated by the persons identified above to be
included (consistent with applicable law and its certificate of
incorporation and bylaws) in the group of nominees who are recommended for
election as directors by the Company to the stockholders following the date
on which such person is so designated, and at each succeeding meeting of
the Company's stockholders when directors are to be elected, and
o at a special meeting of the board of directors held as soon as practicable
after the creation of any vacancy as a result of the death, resignation or
removal of a director, it will cause the appointment of such person as is
designated by the appropriate person or persons identified above to fill
any such vacancy, if a special meeting is required to effect such
appointment.
Subject to any law or stock exchange rule prohibiting committee membership by
affiliates of the Company, each of the persons identified above having the right
to designate directors will be entitled to at least proportionate representation
(and in any event not less than one) on any committee of the board of directors
based on the composition of the board of directors.
Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, effective upon the closing of the
Merger, Mr. Sethi was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr.
Sarkar was appointed Chief Operating Officer of the Company.
VOTING MATTERS
In addition to any vote or consent of the Company's board of directors or its
stockholders required by law or the Company's certificate of incorporation, the
affirmative vote of either the Class B Director or the Class C Director, which
affirmative vote shall not be unreasonably or improperly withheld, will be
necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating any of the following actions,
but such necessary approval shall not relieve any such director from his
fiduciary duties to the Company:
o (A) an increase or decrease in the authorized capital of the Company or any
Company subsidiary, including the splitting, combination, or subdivision of
any capital stock, (B) the creation or authorization of any class of
capital stock, (C) the issuance of any additional shares of capital stock
of the Company or any Company subsidiary, or rights to acquire such capital

stock, or (E) the declaration or payment of any dividend in respect of such
capital stock, whether such dividend is payable in cash, shares of capital
stock or other property;

subsidiary to consolidate or merge with, any person;

transaction with any of their officers, directors or affiliates except
transactions (x) entered into in the ordinary course of business in good
faith, (y) on fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or
its
30
subsidiary than it would obtain in a comparable arm's length transaction
with a person not an affiliate and (z) the terms of which have been
previously disclosed to the Class B Director;
o the acquisition by the Company or any Company subsidiary, in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, and by means of a merger,
consolidation or otherwise, of any capital stock, other equity interest
(with economic, voting, or other beneficial interests) or assets of, or any
direct or indirect ownership of, any person, or any investments, loans,
advances or extensions of credit to any person, or the creation of any
subsidiary in which the Company has an economic interest;
o except as expressly contemplated by the Stockholders Agreement, any
amendment of the Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or the
filing of any resolution of the board of directors with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware containing any provisions that would
adversely affect or otherwise impair the rights of the holders of the
Company Common Stock or would be inconsistent with the provisions of the
stockholders agreement;
o any direct or indirect borrowing or incurrence of, or agreement to borrow
or incur, any indebtedness or liability for borrowed money or guarantee
such indebtedness, or any agreement to become contingently liable, by
guaranty or otherwise, for the obligations or indebtedness of any person,

ordinary course of business, and (ii) the making of bank deposits and other

o the entering into, or permitting any Company subsidiary to enter into, any

Agreement, regularly scheduled, in-person meetings no less frequently than six
times per year.
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION; BYLAWS
The Company and the Stockholders will take all lawful action necessary to ensure
at all times that the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company
are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by the Stockholders Agreement.
TERMINATION
The above described provisions of the Stockholders Agreement will terminate on
the earliest to occur of the following:
o the bankruptcy or dissolution of SVT,
o immediately prior to the consummation of a merger, consolidation,
reorganization or other business combination of SVT which results in the
transfer of more than 50% of the voting securities of SVT or the sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of SVT,

During 2002, both the Class B and Class C directors, namely Messrs. Wasik and
Carozza, resigned from the Company's board of directors effective May and June,
2002, respectively. In addition, also in June 2002, one Class A director, Jack
Kemp, resigned from the Company's board of directors, citing his
31
inability to continue as an outside director for a large number of boards and
his lack of time to devote to attending board meetings of SVT and other Company
matters in addition to his other activities. Mr. Bhatiani was unanimously
elected as a Class A director, effective June 2002.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's
outstanding shares of Common Stock (collectively, "Section 16 Persons"), to file
initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the
Commission. Section 16 Persons are required by Commission regulations to furnish
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on
its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written
representations from certain Section 16 Persons that all Section 16(a) reports
required to be filed for such persons had been filed, the Company believes that
during fiscal year 2002 the Section 16 Persons complied with all Section 16(a)
filing requirements applicable to them.

Notes:
1. To date, the Company has issued no SARs.
During 2000 and 2001, the Company had only one part-time employee - Jonathan V.
Diamond, its Chairman of the Board, President and Secretary. Mr. Diamond had a
three-year employment contract dated as of March 22, 2000, under which he was
entitled to receive an annual salary of $250,000 and an annual bonus of at least
$50,000. None of this cash compensation was ultimately paid to Mr. Diamond,
32
and he waived payment of any such compensation in his termination agreement with
the Company, effective January 21, 2002.
No stock options were granted to or exercised by Mr. Diamond during 2001 or
2002.
Mr. Sethi has entered into an employment agreement with SVT effective as of
February 1, 2002, pursuant to which he is serving as SVT's Chief Executive
Officer for an annual base salary of $500,000. In addition, Mr. Sethi is
entitled to receive a minimum annual bonus of 50% of his base salary and an
annual performance bonus in an amount which will be based on a formula related
to SVT's operating income. Under the employment agreement, SVT's target
operating income for 2002 is $1.2 million and will increase by $100,000 per year
through the end of 2007. If SVT achieves 100% or more of its target operating
income for a specific year, Mr. Sethi would receive a performance bonus for that
year equal to 100% of his base salary plus 10% of the amount of operating income
which exceeds the target operating income. If SVT only achieves at least 80% but
less than 85% of its target operating income for a specific year, Mr. Sethi
would receive a performance bonus for that year equal to 50% of his base salary.
If SVT achieves less than 80% of its target operating income for a specific
year, Mr. Sethi would not be entitled to any performance bonus for that year
except as determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion. The
performance bonus is to be paid in addition to the minimum bonus.
The agreement will terminate on January 31, 2008, unless it is terminated
earlier in accordance with its terms. If the agreement is terminated by SVT for
cause or by Mr. Sethi without good reason, Mr. Sethi is entitled to payment of
his base salary until the date of termination. If the agreement is terminated by
SVT without cause or by Mr. Sethi with good reason, Mr. Sethi is entitled to
payment of his base salary until January 31, 2008, in the form of a lump sum
payment and any earned bonus payments until the date of termination. The
agreement also includes a gross-up provision in the event that any payments to
Mr. Sethi are deemed to be excess parachute payments taxable under section 4999
of the Internal Revenue Code. The agreement contains a non-competition
obligation for Mr. Sethi, which expires one year after the termination of his
employment. During the same period, Mr. Sethi is prohibited from recruiting or
hiring any person who was employed by SVT during the preceding three months.
Mr. Sarkar entered into an employment agreement with SanVision effective as of
January 31, 2000, which has been assumed by SVT by virtue of the Combination and
pursuant to which he is serving as SVT's Chief Operating Officer for an annual
base salary of $250,000. In addition, Mr. Sarkar is entitled to receive an
annual performance bonus in an amount to be determined by the Chief Executive
Officer of SVT, but not less than 50% of the Chief Executive Officer's
performance bonus or minimum annual bonus.
The agreement will terminate on January 31, 2006, unless it is terminated
earlier in accordance with its terms. After January 31, 2006, it will be
automatically renewed annually unless it is terminated 90 days prior to said
renewal periods. If the agreement is terminated by SVT for cause or by Mr.
Sarkar without good reason, Mr. Sarkar is entitled to payment of his base salary
until the date of termination. If the agreement is terminated by SVT without
cause or by Mr. Sarkar with good reason, Mr. Sarkar is entitled to payment of
his base salary until January 31, 2006, in the form of a lump sum payment and
any earned bonus payments until the date of termination. The agreement also
includes a gross-up provision in the event that any payments to Mr. Sarkar are
deemed to be excess parachute payments taxable under section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The agreement contains a non-competition obligation for
Mr. Sarkar, which expires one year after the termination of his employment.
During the same period, Mr. Sarkar is prohibited from recruiting or hiring any
person who was employed by SVT during the preceding three months.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
In 2002, directors of the Company did not receive fees for attending board
meetings or committee meetings. Directors were and are currently reimbursed for
their out-of-pocket expenses, including travel, incurred in the performance of
their duties as directors. The compensation policy for non-employee directors is
currently under review.
In February 1998, the Company granted to each of six non-employee directors of
the Company - Clarke H. Bailey, Thomas Barnds, Thomas A. Barron, Blair W.
Effron, Peter W. Gilson and Randall A. Hack - an option entitling him to
purchase 60,000 shares of Company common stock at a price of $1.3125 per share.
These options vested in February 2000, but except for the option granted to Mr.
Gilson, they expired unexercised in 2001 as a result of the resignation from the
Company's board of directors of Messrs. Bailey, Barnds, Barron, Effron and Hack
in 2000.
On January 28, 2002, in connection with the Combination, these five expired
options were renewed, and the option granted to Mr. Gilson was modified, so that
they all will now terminate on February 5, 2008, even though all the optionees
have ceased to be directors of the Company. As a result of the Reverse Split,
each of these six options has been further modified to entitle the holder to
purchase 30,000 shares of Company common stock at a price of $2.625 per share.
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
Under the Company's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"),
8,400,000 shares of common stock are available for awards in the form of
non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock,
restricted stock units and other awards (collectively, "Awards"). The Stock
Incentive Plan is administered by the Company's board of directors, or at the
board's sole discretion, by a committee thereof. The Stock Incentive Plan
provides for discretionary grants of Awards to officers, directors, employees,
consultants or advisors of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The
board, or the designated committee thereof, has full authority to determine,
among other things, the persons to whom Awards under the plan will be made, the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards, and the specific terms and
conditions applicable to Awards, and to otherwise supervise the administration
of the plan. The maximum number of shares which may be granted to any one
participant under the Stock Incentive Plan in a calendar year is 4,150,000.
There are currently 500,000 options outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan.
Amounts of options to be issued under the Stock Incentive Plan in the future are
currently under review.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
ERV Associates II, LLC, an entity affiliated with Walter A. Carozza, a director
of SVT from April 2000 to June 2002, was retained to provide consulting services
to SanVision related to capital raising and new business development and for
services related to the Combination with SWWT. As consideration for the
consulting services, SanVision issued to ERV Associates II, LLC 206,120
restricted shares of SanVision common stock, which were converted in the Merger
into 204,529 shares of SVT common stock and which are subject to certain resale
restrictions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement. See Item 10 of this
report.
Jonathan V. Diamond, the Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive
Officer and Secretary of SWWT until January 21, 2002, held 83,355 restricted
shares of SWWT's series B preferred stock, which were subject to vesting over a
three-year period commencing April 30, 2000 and, with respect to the unvested
shares, to repurchase by SWWT in certain events. These shares were issued to Mr.
Diamond by SWWT in exchange for shares of E-Newco common stock purchased by Mr.
Diamond on April 8, 2000, for an aggregate purchase price of $410,955, under the
terms of a restricted stock purchase agreement and an accompanying promissory
note receivable with E-Newco.
SWWT assumed this promissory note in connection with its issuance of the
restricted shares of series B preferred stock. In connection with Mr. Diamond's
resignation, SWWT repurchased Mr. Diamond's 83,355 shares of series B preferred
stock in consideration for the cancellation of all outstanding principal and
interest obligations under the promissory note, which obligations then totaled
$456,487. These shares were retired immediately after the repurchase date.
As discussed above in "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings," SVT is currently engaged in
litigation with Velocity Express Corporation ("Velocity") with regard to certain
agreements entered into by SVT and Velocity in October 2001. SVT is seeking the
payment of approximately $2.5 million for services performed, as well as
litigation costs and expenses, and interest. The chairman of the board of
Velocity is Vincent A. Wasik, a member of the board of directors of the Company
from February 2002 to May 2002. In addition, Walter A. Carozza, a member of the
board of directors of SVT from April 2000 to June 2002, is the brother-in-law of
Alex Paluch, a member of the board of directors of Velocity and of its
Technology Committee.
ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including the Company's chief executive officer
and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), Rules 13a-14(c) and
15d-14(c), and as generally defined below). Based on this evaluation, the
Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded
that as of the date of the evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that all material information required to be
filed in this report has been made known to them.
38
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
As of the date of this report there have been no significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of the Company's most recent evaluation, including any
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and other procedures that
are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the
Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls will
prevent all error and uncover all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a
control system necessarily reflects the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion or two or more people, or by management override of the
control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

SVT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2002, 2001 AND 2000
NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND:
SVT Inc. (SVT), formerly SWWT, Inc., is a Delaware
corporation which together with its wholly - owned
subsidiaries (see Note 2) is herein referred to as the
Company. The Company is an information technology
consulting, network, and systems management outsourcing
business. To date, the Company has specialized in e-commerce
applications and web-based systems management for the
financial services, insurance, media and telecommunications
industries.
On July 23, 2001, SanVision Technology Inc. (SanVision)
entered into a merger agreement with SWWT, Inc. under which
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (E-Newco, Inc.) was
merged into SanVision and SanVision became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SWWT. Under the merger agreement, SanVision
stockholders received 35,792,599 shares of the Company's
common stock in exchange for their shares of SanVision. Upon
completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement, including (A) a one-for-two reverse stock split
of the Company's common stock, (B) a change in the
conversion ratio applicable to the Company's series B
preferred stock into common stock from approximately
1-to-100 to approximately 1-to-10 and (C) the conversion of
all shares of Series B preferred stock into shares of common
stock, the Company had outstanding 40,725,826 shares of
common stock on an as-converted and fully diluted basis, of
which the former stockholders of SanVision have 87.5
percent.
On January 29, 2002, the Company's stockholders approved the
reverse stock split, the change in the conversion ratio of
the Series B preferred stock and the conversion of all
series B preferred stock into common stock. Effective on
February 1, 2002, the merger between SanVision and E-Newco
was completed, and on March 15, 2002, SanVision was merged
into the Company and ceased to exist.
For accounting and financial reporting purposes, SanVision
is the acquirer through a reverse merger. The combination of
SVT and SanVision was treated as an issuance of shares,
primarily for cash, by SanVision. The Company reflects, in
its consolidated financial statements, the assets and
liabilities of SanVision at their historical book values and
the tangible assets and liabilities of SWWT, Inc. at their
fair values. The Company has not combined the historical
earnings of SWWT, Inc. with those of SanVision, but reports
SanVision's operations through the effective date of the
merger.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
retroactively reflect the above transactions as if they
occurred at the earliest date presented.
In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Accounting Disclosure Rules and Practices, the transaction
costs incurred in connection with the merger were charged
directly to stockholders' equity to the extent of the cash
received in the merger (which was equal to $785,648) and the
excess (which was equal to $18,687,418) has been charged to
merger related costs and expenses.
The assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity amounts
that were combined with SanVision as of the merger date as
part of the reverse merger transaction were as follows:

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
(B) REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION:
Historically, the Company's revenue from consulting services
have been generated under time and materials contracts.
Revenue from consulting services that are billed on a time and
materials basis is recognized in the period during which the
services are provided. The Company, from time to time, entered
into contracts based on a fixed fee amount. Revenue from the
fixed fee contracts are recognized using a percentage of
completion method based on the total costs incurred to date
compared to the total costs to be incurred for the contracts.
The majority of the Company's services are performed for large
companies located in the New York City area. Revenues from the
Company's three largest customers represent approximately 71
percent of total revenues (32 percent, 26 percent and 13
percent, respectively) for the year ended December 31, 2002,
the two largest customers represent approximately 65 percent of
total revenues (39 percent and 26 percent, respectively) for
the year ended December 31, 2001 and the two largest customers
represent approximately 74 percent of total revenues (54
percent and 20 percent, respectively) for the year ended
December 31, 2000. The total accounts receivable from these
customers as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $1,295,692
($295,800, $0 and $999,892, respectively), $2,407,594
($1,045,489 and $1,362,105, respectively) and $6,226,829
($5,258,113 and $968,716, respectively). The customer, who
represents 26 percent of the Company's total revenue for 2002,
is in dispute with the Company (see Note 13(c)). The accounts
receivable balance of $2,260,011 due from this customer as of
December 31, 2002 has been written off due to this dispute and
the fact that management believes the customer does not have
the ability to pay this amount.
(C) SEGMENT DISCLOSURES:
For purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information," management believes that the Company
operates in one segment.
For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, all of
the Company's revenues are attributed to customers in the
United States and the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2002
and 2001 a total of approximately $108,000 and $3,709,000 of
long-lived assets, the majority of which relate to the 2001
acquisitions (see Note 3), were recorded in the Company's
subsidiary in India and its subsidiary in the United Kingdom.
(D) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
(E) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk are accounts receivable and cash.
The Company's customer base principally comprises companies
within the financial services industry and to a lesser extent
the insurance, media and telecommunications and other
industries. The Company does not require collateral from its
customers.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
The Company maintains, at times, deposits in federally insured
financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
Management attempts to monitor the soundness of the financial
institutions and believes the Company's risk is negligible.
(F) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant
improvements are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon the sale
or retirement of these assets, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
gain or loss is included in income.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method
based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:
Equipment 5 years
Automobiles 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
(G) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts
payable. The book values of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be
representative of their respective fair values.
(H) CURRENCY TRANSLATION:
The accounts of the Company's international subsidiaries are
translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation", which requires that assets and liabilities of
international operations be translated using the exchange rate
in effect at the balance sheet date, and that the results of
operations be translated at average exchange rates during the
period. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations in
translating assets and liabilities of international operations
into U.S. dollars are accumulated and reflected in cumulative
translation adjustments included in stockholders' equity. The
effects of exchange rate fluctuations in translating the
foreign currency transactions are included in general and
administrative expenses. There were no material transaction
gains or losses related to the foreign currency transactions
in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(I) INCOME TAXES:
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires the asset
and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
the difference between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities
at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate
expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or
recovered.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
(J) EARNINGS PER SHARE:
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," to
compute earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for
complex capital structures on the statements of operations.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the
exercise or conversion of other securities into common stock
unless they are anti-dilutive.
The Company had no dilutive other securities for the years
ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 and for the year ended
December 31, 2002, the dilutive impact of outstanding stock
options was not included in diluted EPS as it would be
anti-dilutive.

Earnings per share - diluted $ (0.68) $ 0.05 $ 0.07
(K) ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," established
the concept of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is
defined as net income plus revenues, expenses, gains and
losses that, under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, are excluded from net income. The Company's
accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised of
unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translation
adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of
stockholders' equity.
Other comprehensive (loss) income is calculated as follows:

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
(L) 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 of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
(M) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141
eliminates the use of the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations and establishes the
purchase method of accounting as the only acceptable method on
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets." This statement modifies existing
generally accepted accounting principles related to the
amortization and impairment of goodwill and other intangible
assets. Upon adoption of the new standard, goodwill, including
goodwill associated with equity method investments, will no
longer be amortized. In addition, goodwill, other than
goodwill associated with equity method investments, must be
assessed at least annually for impairment using a fair-value
based approach. The provisions of this statement are required
to be adopted as of the beginning of the first fiscal year
after December 15, 2001. Impairment losses that arise due to
the initial application of this statement are to be reported
as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.
In order to complete the transitional assessment of goodwill
as required by SFAS No. 142, the Company was required to
determine by the end of the second quarter of 2002 the fair
value of its reporting units and compare it to the reporting
units' carrying amount. To the extent a reporting units'
carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists
that the reporting units' goodwill assets may be impaired and
the Company must perform the second step of the transitional
impairment test.
In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair
value of the reporting units' goodwill, determined by
allocating the reporting units' fair value to all of its
assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price
allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141, to its carrying
amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of
adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon
as possible, but no later than the end of 2002.
Any transitional impairment charge will be recognized as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
Company's consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30,
2002, the Company has determined that the fair value of its
reporting units exceeds the reporting units' carrying amounts
and therefore, goodwill is not impaired. The required
continued impairment tests of goodwill may result in future
period write-downs. During the third quarter of 2002, several
factors including the continued sluggish economic climate, the
potential loss of a major client and the lack of customer
capital expenditure on software development, led the Company
to take a complete impairment write-down of $1,548,947.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
(M) NEW ACCONTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED):
No goodwill amortization was recorded for the year ended
December 31, 2001 since there was no goodwill recorded by the
Company prior to the acquisition, which took place in December
2001 after the adoption of SFAS 142 (see Note 3) and therefore
no pro-forma disclosures are required. As of December 31,
2002, the net book value for goodwill was $0.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The
statement supersedes both SFAS No. 121 and the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 that are related to
the accounting and reporting for the disposal of a segment of
a business. SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting
model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, for
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. This statement
retains most of the requirements in SFAS No. 121 related to
the recognition of impairment of long-lived assets to be held
and used.
However, SFAS No. 144 eliminates the requirement to allocate
goodwill to long-lived assets to be tested for impairment.
Instead, as previously mentioned, beginning in 2002 the
Company will test the impairment of its goodwill under the
provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 144 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption
of this statement will not materially impact its financial
position, cash flows or results of operations.
On July 30, 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"), that is
applicable to exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. This standard requires companies to
recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities
when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment
to an exit or disposal plan. This standard does not apply
where SFAS 144 is applicable. This new standard does not have
any current impact on the Company's operating results and
financial position.
On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148"), that is
applicable to financial statements issued for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2002. In addition, interim
disclosure provisions are applicable for financial statements
issued for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
This standard amends SFAS 123 and provides guidance to
companies electing to voluntarily change to the fair value
method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In
addition, this standard amends SFAS 123 to require more
prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial
statements regarding the effects of stock-based compensation.
This new standard does not have any current impact on the
Company's operating results and financial position.
(N) RECLASSIFICATION:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year
financial statements to conform to the current year
presentation.

acquisitions of November 15, 2001 and December 14, 2001,
respectively. The purchase price of each acquisition has been
allocated to the assets acquired based upon their estimated
fair value at the date of acquisition. Information to reflect
prior period pro forma results was not available and not
considered material by management.
On December 30, 2001, the Company paid through Apex (India)
Private Ltd., its India subsidiary, a deposit of $800,000
related to a Purchase Agreement to acquire from Euro Tech, Inc.
all of the outstanding stock of Euro Tech (U.K.) Private Ltd.
(Euro U.K.). Euro U.K. is an information technology consulting

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the
operating results of Euro U.K. have been consolidated with the
Company's results since the effective date of the acquisition
of January 2, 2002. The purchase price of the acquisition has
been allocated to the assets acquired based upon their
estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Information
to reflect prior period pro forma results was not available

Company's assets were pledged as collateral under the
Agreement. In addition, the Agreement granted the finance
company the right to direct all deposits received on
outstanding accounts receivable against the outstanding
balance under the Revolver, if any. As a result, outstanding
borrowings under the Revolver at December 31, 2001 were
classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance
sheet.

for services rendered and the Company recorded compensation
expense of $728,000 in 2000 based on the estimated fair value
of these shares as determined by management with the use of an
outside independent appraisal. The transfer of these shares was
recorded as a capital contribution by the majority stockholder
and a compensation charge for the stock issuance by the
Company.
(B) STOCK SPLIT:
On January 29, 2002, the Company's stockholders approved a one

included provisions for forfeiture of the shares if the
business combination between SanVision and the Company had not
been completed. The business combination was completed within
the specified period, and the Company recorded an expense
amount as part of the merger related expenses based on the fair
value of the shares issued to these entities based on the
trading price of SVT Inc. common stock. As of February 1, 2002
the Company recorded an expense charge for these shares of
$19,328,103 based on the trading price of SVT Inc. common stock
on that date. Of that amount, $785,648 was charged to

TOTAL INCOME TAX (BENEFIT) PROVISION $ (3,743,840) $ 1,224,379 $ 1,842,935
============== ============ ============
The income tax provision differs from the amount currently
payable because certain expenses, primarily accrued recruiting
and training, certain other accruals, bad debt expense and
option compensation, are reported in different periods for
financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Taxes on the undistributed earnings of the Company's
international subsidiary are provided for at the applicable
U.S. Federal and state income tax rates since management does
not expect these earnings to be reinvested indefinitely in the
foreign subsidiaries operations.
The reconciliation between income taxes at the federal
statutory rate and the amount recorded in the accompanying
financial statements is as follows:
Years Ended December 31,
2002 2001 2000
------- ------ ------
Tax at statutory rate (34.0)% 34.0% 34.0%
State and city income taxes, net of federal tax

NOTE 11 - SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION:
In addition to the use of the Company's employees on the
various consulting projects, the Company also utilizes outside
consultants for several contracts. Many of these outside
consultants are small, independent contractors. The Company's
reliance on outside consultants involves several risks,
including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply
of services and reduced control over pricing, timely delivery
of service and quality of service.
During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
$4,274,028, $7,578,186, and $8,745,725, respectively, of
outside consultant expenses were recorded by the Company.
NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
The Company has a Section 401(k) retirement savings plan (the
401(k) Plan). The 401(k) Plan allows employees to contribute
between 1 to 15 percent of their annual compensation subject
to statutory limitations. Company contributions to the 401(k)
Plan are discretionary. For the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001, and 2000, the Company made no matching contributions to
the 401(k) Plan.
NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

(B) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS:
The Company has entered into employment agreements with two
officers which require annual base salaries of $500,000 and
$250,000, respectively. One of these officers also receives a
minimum annual bonus of $250,000. These agreements also
include provisions for discretionary bonus amounts based on
the Company's operating results and the discretion of the
Board of Directors. The agreements terminate on January 31,
2008 and 2006, respectively, unless terminated earlier in
accordance with the terms of the agreements. In the event of
termination of these agreements by the Company without cause
or by the employee with good cause, the Company would be
obligated to pay the remaining salaries and bonus amounts for
the remaining term of the agreements as well as a
reimbursement payment to eliminate the effect of any excise
taxes associated with these payments.
(C) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
Velocity Express Corporation ("Velocity") as plaintiff has
asserted claims against the Company for breach of contract,
conversion and breach of fiduciary duty. Plaintiff and the
Company are parties to three contracts under which the Company
agreed to manage Velocity's technology function and to create
and maintain new software to permit Velocity to operate a
state of the art website and a "package tracking system" to
monitor its delivery services. The complaint alleges that
under one of these contracts, the Professional Services
Outsourcing Agreement, there were alleged "service failures"
that allegedly resulted in disruptions in the plaintiff's
information technology systems. The complaint further alleged
that the Company allegedly manipulated plaintiff's technology
system so that the plaintiff's customers could not access
plaintiff's website and software. Plaintiff has not specified
the amount of damages that the Company allegedly caused.
The Company denies the allegations of the complaint and has
filed counterclaims against the plaintiff seeking payment for
the amounts the Company is owed under the above mentioned
contracts and for damage. Management intends to vigorously
defend this action.
