PART I
ITEM l. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business
We were incorporated in Texas on July 13, 1984. We filed an S-18
registration statement in November 1984 and completed the registered
offering in January 1985. In 1996 we introduced a digital media device
(set top box), which enabled the display of Internet content on a
television. In 1998 we added design and cabling services for voice/data
networks and in 1999 we added computer telephony integration (CTI)
capabilities to our product offerings with customized call center
solutions.
In December 2002, due to our financial position and the business
outlook for the foreseeable future, we discontinued normal operations.
All of our directors resigned, except for the CEO who remained as the sole
director, and we laid off all of our remaining officers and employees,
although some former employees continued to act in limited consulting roles
to facilitate an orderly winding down process. We are continuing to
evaluate various options and may consider a merger candidate, an acquisition
of a viable business or positioning the Company for a buyer of the corporate
entity.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
Please refer to Note O of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in this Form 10-K for information concerning Industry Segments.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
We have conducted no business operations since December 2002. The
following information, consequently, relates only to normal business
operations conducted prior to that date.
Major Markets, Products and Services
Our digital media technology was available for licensing by customers
wishing to manufacture and market a digital media device that provided easy
and affordable access to the Internet through the television medium. The
units offered video on demand, Internet access, broadcast entertainment
programming and content streams. The digital media devices allowed users
to save and store programming, rewind, and pause television shows in mid-
broadcast; provided electronic programming guides that allowed users to
select channels based on television show, actor, or theme and could be used
to collect demographic information.
Our CTI technologies offered customized products for customer contact
centers, which could be designed to support a diverse network of sites, and
managed voice and data transactions from multiple sources while allowing for
intelligent routing and queuing.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
We owned or held rights to all patents, trademarks and licenses that we
considered to be necessary in the conduct of our business.
Manufacturing
We did not own manufacturing facilities, but rather contracted all
manufacturing to third parties.
Environmental
We were in compliance with all applicable environmental laws.
Major Customers
In fiscal year 2003, one customer accounted for approximately 39% of
consolidated revenues. In fiscal year 2002, one customer accounted for
approximately 44.6% of consolidated revenues and at June 30, 2002, one
customer accounted for 58.1% and another customer accounted for 25.2% of
trade accounts receivable.
Competition
We operated in an intensely competitive industry. A number of
companies had developed digital media devices and technologies similar to
ours, including, among others, low-cost Internet access technologies, (ii)
"set top" boxes, as well as (iii) video game devices that provide Internet
access. Personal computer manufacturers offered products that offered
television viewing combined with Internet access. CTI competitors included
companies that marketed products with functionalities similar to ours.
Employees
As of June 30, 2004, the Company had no employees.
Warranty
The Company has no material outstanding warranty obligations.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Until December 2002, we operated from the following locations, which
were deemed suitable for our operations. At June 30, 2004, all locations
were closed.
Location Purpose/Use Owned/Leased Square Footage
-------- ----------- ------------ --------------
Dallas, TX Corporate Headquarters Leased 16,617
Dallas, TX Storage facility Leased 5,120
Tulsa, OK Subsidiary office Leased 7,500
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Prior to closing the business in December 2002, we were routinely a
party to ordinary litigation incidental to our business, as well as to other
litigation of a nonmaterial nature.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report on Form 10-K, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Holders
As of June 30, 2004 there were approximately 11,500 record shareholders
and individual participants in security position listings.
Dividends
We have never paid cash dividends on common shares and do not
anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. In addition, our Series
2002-G Convertible Preferred Stock contains preferential covenants that
materially limit the discretion of our Board of Directors with respect
to payment of dividends or making any other distribution to our common
shareholders so long as Series 2002-G is outstanding or unconverted.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information to assist in the
understanding of our financial condition and results of operations and
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements
and related notes appearing elsewhere herein.
Forward Looking Statements
This report may contain "Forward Looking Statements," which are our
expectations, plans, and projections which may or may not materialize, and
which are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including statements
concerning expected expenses and the adequacy of our sources of cash to
finance our current and future operations. When used in this report, the
words "plans," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors
which could cause actual results to materially differ from our expectations
include the following: general economic conditions and growth in the high
tech industry; competitive factors and pricing pressures; changes in product
mix; the timely development and acceptance of new products; and the risks
described from time to time in our SEC filings. These forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this report. We expressly disclaim
any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or change in
our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on
which any such statement may be based, except as may be otherwise required
by the securities laws.
Results of Operations
Please refer to Note O of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in this Form 10-K for additional information on our operating
segments.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues
We discontinued all operations in December 2002 and had no revenues for
fiscal year 2004. Revenues of $626,000 for fiscal year 2003 were primarily
comprised of revenues from the sale of CTI products and support services
during the first half of the fiscal year before the Company discontinued
operations.
Gross Margin
We had no gross margin for fiscal year 2004. Gross margin for fiscal
year 2003 was $421,000, which represented 67.2% of all revenue in fiscal
year 2003. This is attributable to the virtual elimination of all costs
associated with the sale of products and services due to the discontinuance
of operations.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for fiscal year 2004 decreased to
approximately $37,000, compared to approximately $3.94 million for the
same period last year. Significant components of operating expenses for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 consisted of the following:
Year ended June 30,
-------------------------------
2004 2003
----------- -----------
Compensation $ 5,760 $ 537,859
Facilities -0- 156,560
Depreciation -0- 439,621

Online service expense -0- 2,188
Legal expense and professional fees 17,860 205,411
Sales and marketing -0- 10,370
Other 13,398 613,293
----------- -----------
Total $ 37,018 $ 3,936,821
=========== ===========
"Other" expenses include public company cost, telephone, travel,
office, insurance, and other general and administrative expenses. The
decrease in operating expenses for fiscal year 2004 is attributable to the
discontinuance of all Company operations in December 2002.
Interest Expense
We had no interest expense in fiscal year 2004 as compared to total
interest expense of $13,000 for the previous year. The decrease in interest
expense is attributable to the elimination of debt.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues
Total revenues for fiscal year 2003 decreased to $626,000, as compared
to $5.37 million in 2002. Revenues for fiscal year 2003 are primarily
comprised of revenues from the sale of CTI products and support services
during the first half of the fiscal year before the Company discontinued
all operations.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for fiscal year 2003 was $421,000, as compared to $3.11
million for 2002. This represents 67.2% of all revenue in fiscal year
2003, compared to 58% in the previous year. The increase as a percentage of
revenue can be attributed to the virtual elimination of all costs associated
with the sale of products and services due to the discontinuance of
operations.
Write-Off of Inventory and Software Development Costs
We wrote off all remaining inventories, purchased software and product
and software development costs in December 2002 for fiscal year 2003, as
they were no longer being utilized. No inventories were written down or
off and we did not capitalize any software development costs in fiscal year
2002.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for fiscal year 2003 decreased to
approximately $3.94 million, compared to approximately $7.0 million for the
same period last year. Significant components of operating expenses for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following:
Year ended June 30,
-------------------------------
2003 2002

Compensation $ 537,859 $ 3,099,108
Facilities 156,560 578,423

Other 613,293 1,070,460
----------- -----------
Total $ 3,936,821 $ 7,008,138
=========== ===========
"Other" expenses include public company cost, telephone, travel,
office, insurance, and other general and administrative expenses. The
decrease in operating expenses for fiscal year 2003 is attributable to
the discontinuance of all Company operations in December 2002.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense for fiscal year 2003 was $13,000 as compared
to $101,000 in 2002. The decrease in interest expense is primarily
attributable to the virtual elimination of our debt level at June 30, 2003,
from approximately $215,000 at June 30, 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2004 were zero compared to $9,883
at June 30, 2003. In the past we relied on available borrowing arrangements
and sales of our common and preferred stock to supplement operations.
However, during 2003 outside financial resources became unavailable to us
and it was necessary to discontinue operations and close the Company.
Cash Flows From Operations
Cash used in operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was
$9,883 compared to $1.07 million used in operations in 2003. The major
components of cash used in operations during 2004 were comprised of a
$20,000 loss from operations, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$11,992 and other assets of $12,948, offset by issuances of common stock
and warrants to purchase common stock valued at approximately $28,000.
Cash used in operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 was
$1.07 million compared to $2.15 million used in operations in 2002. The
major components of cash used in operations during 2003 were comprised of a
$3.48 million loss from operations, including depreciation and amortization
of $440,000, asset and goodwill impairment of $1.7 million, and a discount
on a note receivable of $300,000.
Cash used in operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 was
$2.15 million compared to $3.46 million in 2001. The major components of
cash used in operations during 2002 were comprised of a $2.73 million loss
from operations, including depreciation and amortization of $1.6 million
(primarily capitalized software amortization) and a one-time gain of $1.1
million on the sale of the Curtis Mathes trademark, as well as a reduction
in our investment in working capital. In addition, a loss of $406,000 for
extinguishment of debt resulted from the assumption by the purchaser of the
trademark of a $2 million note payable.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
During fiscal year 2004, we conducted no investing activities.
During fiscal year 2003, we discounted the outstanding principal
balance of $850,000 of the note receivable received in the sale of the
Curtis Mathes trademark and collected $550,000. We additionally redeemed
a certificate of deposit for $25,000.
During fiscal year 2002, we sold the Curtis Mathes trademark to an
investment group for $4.5 million, which included $635,000 in cash ($450,000
of which was received in fiscal 2001) and $1,865,000 in a note receivable.
The sale resulted in a release of a secured debt of $2 million as the buyer
assumed the outstanding debt, providing additional operating capital. The
value of the sale was based on an estimated four years of projected royalty
stream from the Curtis Mathes brand. Payments received on the note
receivable in fiscal 2002 totaled $1.02 million, and the outstanding
principal balance of the note receivable at June 30, 2002 was $850,000.
We additionally purchased approximately $12,000 of property and equipment
during 2002 and purchased a long-term certificate of deposit for $25,000.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
During fiscal year 2004, we had no financing activities.
Cash of $315,000 was used in financing activities during fiscal year
2003, consisting of payments on long-term and capital lease obligations.
Cash of $100,000 was borrowed during fiscal year 2003.
Cash flow from financing activities generated approximately $1.11
million during fiscal year 2002; major components include $500,000 from the
issuance of preferred stock and $700,000 from proceeds of long term debt.
Other Matters
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
following critical accounting policies are utilized by management in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Product and Software Development Costs. We capitalized product and
software development costs beginning at the time technological feasibility
of the product or software was established, until the product or software
was ready for use in products. Research and development costs of products
and software were expensed as incurred. The capitalized costs related to
products or software which we expected to become an integral part of our
revenue-producing products were amortized in relation to expected revenues
from the product, or straight-line over a maximum of four years, whichever
was greater. We regularly reviewed the carrying value of product or
software development costs, and we would recognize a loss when the expected
net realizable value of a product fell below the unamortized cost.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets. The Company evaluated long-lived
assets and intangibles held and used for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. Impairment was recognized when the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets were less than the carrying
amounts of such assets.
Revenue Recognition. We recognized revenue as follows: (a) service
revenue - when the services were provided; (b) equipment and product
sales - at the time of delivery and customer acceptance; (c) installation
of software and hardware systems - the completed contract method; and
(d) royalties - when earned as the customer sold royalty related products.
Amounts for which revenue could not be recognized, such as uncompleted
contracts or unearned maintenance services, were included in deferred
revenue and were recognized as contracts were completed or ratably over
the period covered by the maintenance agreement.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Prior to December 2002, we were exposed to market risk from changes in
interest rates which could adversely affect our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows. In seeking to minimize the risks from
interest rate fluctuations, we managed exposures through our regular
operating and financing activities. We did not use financial instruments
for trading or other speculative purposes and we were not a party to any
leveraged financial instruments. We were exposed to interest rate risk
primarily through our borrowing activities, which are described in the
"Long-Term Debt" Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which
are incorporated herein by reference.

Board of Directors
VPGI Corp. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VPGI Corp.
and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit. The financial statements of VPGI Corp. and Subsidiaries as of June
30, 2002 were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 3,
2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of VPGI Corp. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash
flows for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited Schedule II for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
In our opinion, this schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be set forth therein.
As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net
losses of $20,355, $3,435,735 and $2,733,434 for the years ended June 30,
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These factors, among others, as
discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in
Note B. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

VPGI Corp. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
-----------------------
Until it discontinued normal operations in December 2002 (see Note B),
VPGI Corp. and Subsidiaries (the Company), offered enhanced digital media
solutions to customers worldwide. It also offered contact center customer
service solutions through CIMphony[TM], a suite of computer telephony
integration (CTI) software products and services.
Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
All highly liquid debt investments with an original maturity of three
months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
notes receivable, redeemable preferred stock and debt. The fair value of
cash and notes receivable approximate the recorded amounts because of the
liquidity and short term nature of these items. The fair value of debt
approximates the recorded amounts. The fair value of redeemable preferred
stock is reflected by the recorded amount as it represents fair value
based on the market price of the Company's common stock.
Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees using the
intrinsic value method. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options
is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the
Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must
pay to acquire the stock.
Redeemable Preferred Stock
--------------------------
Prior to April 2003, the Company's Series 1999-D1 and 2002-G preferred
stock was redeemable at the option of the holder, and was therefore
classified outside of stockholders' equity. The redemption value of these
securities varies based on the market price of the Company's common stock.
The Company adopted an accounting method provided in EITF Topic D-98 for
these types of securities, which recognizes changes in redemption value
immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the security
to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The
result of this accounting method is an increase in loss attributable
to common shareholders and a decrease in stockholders' equity as the
Company's common stock price increases, with the opposite effect when the
Company's common stock price decreases.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company recognized service revenue as the services are provided.
Equipment and product sales were recognized at the time of delivery and
customer acceptance. Revenue from the installation of software and
hardware systems was recognized on the completed contract method. Royalty
revenue was recognized when earned as the customer sells royalty related
products. Amounts for which revenue could not be recognized such as
uncompleted contracts or unearned maintenance services were included in
deferred revenue and were recognized as contracts are completed or ratably
over the period covered by the maintenance agreement.
No revenue was earned during 2004.
On January 16, 2002, the Company completed the sale of a source code
license to one of its largest customers of its CTI product. The sale
resulted in the Company receiving $1.3 million in cash (this revenue is
included in consulting and support service revenue in the accompanying
statements of operations). The buyer also hired six of the Company's
employees.
Advertising Costs
-----------------
Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising
costs for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, were $0, $319, and
$23,469, respectively.
Reverse Stock Split
-------------------
In September 2001, the Company's stockholders approved a one for eight
reverse stock split. All share and per share data give effect to the
reverse split applied retroactively as if it occurred at the beginning of
the earliest period presented. The number of outstanding shares has been
further adjusted to reflect the effects of rounding fractional shares to
the next whole share after the reverse split.
Loss Per Share
--------------
Basic loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed based on
the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
potential common shares had been issued. In all years presented, all
potential common shares were anti-dilutive.
All share and per share data give retroactive effect to the one for eight
reverse stock split approved by the stockholders in September 2001 as if
the reverse split occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
presented.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain reclassifications of the 2002 financial statements and related
notes were made to conform with the 2003 presentation.
Income taxes
------------
The company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires that deterred tax assets and liabilities
arising from temporary differences between book and tax basis will be
recognized using enacted rates at the time such temporary differences
reverse. In the case of deferred tax assets, SFAS 109 requires a
reduction in deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax will not be realized. There are
accumulated deferred tax assets of $21 million, which are offset by a
valuation allowance pursuant to SFAS 109. Such losses are limited by
certain Internal Revenue Service regulations.
NOTE B - GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The Company laid off all of its employees and discontinued normal
operations in December 2002. The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared accordingly. The Company incurred net losses of $20,355,
$3,435,735 and $2,733,434 for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
For the last several years, the Company had been developing its business
plan with a focus in offering its technical expertise in information
technology. The Company's product offerings included providing consulting
services to niche markets, technology products through its digital media
products and computer telephony integration products. The Company is
continuing to evaluate all of its options and may consider seeking a
buyer, a merger candidate or an acquisition of a viable business.
The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the
possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
liabilities which may result from the inability of the Company to continue
as a going concern.
NOTE C - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Effective September 22, 1999 the Company acquired assets of Zirca
Corporation ("Zirca") for $300,000 cash and 45,000 restricted common
shares of the Company valued at $675,000. The acquisition of Zirca was
accounted for as a purchase and the Company allocated the excess purchase
price over tangible assets acquired of approximately $360,000 to purchased
software. In December 2001, the Company wrote off the remaining assets of
$143,539 relating to prior acquisitions as these assets were no longer
being utilized.
Effective June 26, 2002, the Company acquired 60% of the outstanding
capital stock of an Asian company for 350,000 shares of its common stock.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The Company allocated
the purchase price of approximately $129,500 to intellectual property
license. In December 2002, the Company wrote off this asset, as it was no
longer being utilized.
All acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and the operations
of the purchased companies have been included in the Company's statement
of operations since their date of acquisition.
NOTE D - SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
In July 2003, stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the
Company's articles of incorporation, resulting in a reduction in par value
of the Company's common stock from $.80 per share to $.001 per share. The
authorized number of shares was maintained at 80,000,000. All share and
per share data give effect to the reduction in par value applied
retroactively as if it occurred on July 1, 2001.
NOTE E - DISPOSITION OF ASSETS AND SIGNIFICANT SALES TRANSACTIONS
In September 2001, the Company sold the Curtis Mathes trademark for $4.5
million, consisting of cash and notes receivable. $450,000 in cash was
received in June 2001. At June 30, 2002, a total of $1,650,000 of the
purchase price had been received in cash, leaving a principal balance of
$850,000 on a note receivable due in March 2003. In connection with the
sale, the Company was released from approximately $2.0 million of long-
term debt, which was assumed by the buyer of the trademark. As a result
of the release of this long-term debt, the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment of $406,243. The Company had
issued warrants to the lender in connection with the loan and was
amortizing these costs over the life of the loan. The carrying amount of
the debt was $1,593,757 at the time of payment due to the value of the
warrants and upon extinguishment of the debt, all of the costs were
accelerated. The Company recorded a gain of $1,103,046 on the sale of the
trademark.
In January 2002, the Company sold a source code license of its CIMphony
product to HSBC, its largest customer for that product, for $1.3 million
in cash. In February 2002, as part of the agreement, the Company allowed
HSBC to hire six of its employees who were principally involved in
servicing this customer, while retaining adequate support staff for its
other CTI customers. In addition to providing cash for operations, this
transaction resulted in a reduction of overall employee expenses, while
continuing to allow opportunities for sales of CIMphony source code
licenses to other customers. However, the transaction was expected to
result in limited revenues in the future from this customer, as it assumes
the responsibility for its own CTI software operations. This customer
generated approximately $241,000 and $2.4 million (including the sale of
the source code license) in revenues during the years ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, respectively.
In December 2002, the Company sold nine of its subsidiaries: Video
Management, Inc., including its wholly owned subsidiary Network America,
Inc., Corporate Network Solutions, L.C., Warranty Repair Corporation, FFL
Corporation, including its wholly owned subsidiary Systematic Electronics
Corp., uniView Technologies Advanced Systems Group, Inc., uniView Network
America Corp., and uniView Xpressway Corporation. In the transaction, all
of the issued and outstanding common stock of each of subsidiary was
transferred to W. I. Technology Holding Company Inc. for a purchase price
of $10. In connection with the sale, the Company issued warrants to
purchase 150,000 shares of its common stock, exercisable through December
19, 2005 at a fixed exercise price of $.01 per share. The Company had no
operations remaining after the sale. Due to the resulting suspension of
ongoing development of its technologies, the Company wrote down all of
the intellectual property values and goodwill associated with its
technologies. The Company reported no gain or loss on the transaction as
the assets of these subsidiaries had been written off or realized, and the
liabilities on the books were satisfied prior to the sale.
NOTE F - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
As a result of the cessation of all normal business activities, the
Company wrote off all remaining property and equipment during 2003. All
remaining property and equipment was disposed of during 2004.
Depreciation expense and amortization of assets held under capital leases
for years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002 totaled $-0-, $439,621 and
$1,593,049, respectively.
NOTE G - OTHER ASSETS
Other assets at June 30 consist of the following:

========== ==========
Purchased software is normally amortized in relation to expected revenue
from the product or straight-line over a maximum of four years, whichever
is greater. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003
and 2002 was $-0-, $177,985 and $683,718, respectively. Revenue from
these products was $-0-, $241,026 and $2,677,445 (including the $1.3
million sale of the source code license) for the years ended June 30,
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In December 2002, the Company wrote
off this asset, as it was no longer being utilized.
Product and software development costs are normally amortized over their
estimated useful life of three years. Amortization expense for the years
ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $-0-, $-0- and $273,060,
respectively. Revenue from these products was $-0-, $2,808 and $93,623
for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In
December 2002, the Company wrote off this asset, as it was no longer being
utilized.
The Company purchased the Curtis Mathes Corporation in 1993 and sold its
only remaining asset, the Curtis Mathes trademark, in September 2001 for a
gain of $1,103,046. The trademark was being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 20 years. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30,
2002 was $43,706.
Goodwill totaling $1,420,333 from 1998 acquisitions of Video Management,
Inc. (VMI) and Corporate Network Solutions (CNS) was being amortized over
its estimated useful life of fourteen years. Amortization expense for the
year ended June 30, 2002 was $101,453. In October 2002, management and
the Board of Directors of the Company determined, based on i) lower than
expected revenues, ii) its inability to secure contracts it had expected
to secure during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, and iii) its
limited resources, the Company would not continue to support the
operations of its subsidiary, Network America, Inc. (NWA). As a result of
this decision, and based on the fair value of the subsidiary, the Company
determined that the $1,005,509 of unamortized goodwill on the Company's
books relating to NWA was impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an
impairment expense for that amount to write off the goodwill as of
September 30, 2002.
NOTE H - LONG-TERM DEBT
On May 10, 2002 the Company entered into a note payable with Gemini Growth
Fund, L.P. for $200,000, at an annual interest rate of 14%, maturing on
May 31, 2003. On November 12, 2002, the loan agreement was modified to
change the loan amount from $200,000 to $300,000 and the Company entered
into an additional note payable with Trident Growth Fund, L.P., formerly
known as Gemini Growth Fund, L.P., for $100,000 at an annual interest rate
of 14%, maturing on November 30, 2003. In connection with the $100,000
loan, the Company issued warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of its common
stock, exercisable for three years at a fixed exercise price of $1.50 per
share. The loans were collateralized by a security interest in the note
received in connection with the sale of the Curtis Mathes trademark and
other assets of the Company. Interest was payable monthly in cash. In
December 2002, the Company received a notice of default and acceleration
notice from Trident Growth Fund, accelerating the entire principal balance
due on the notes. To satisfy this obligation, the Company negotiated a
discount on the $850,000 note receivable it acquired in the sale of the
Curtis Mathes trademark in exchange for a lump sum payment of $550,000
from the debtor, charging $300,000 to bad debt expense. Approximately
$300,000 of the proceeds received by the Company were applied to pay the
entire remaining principal balance, as well as accumulated interest and
other fees, due on the note payable to Trident Growth Fund.
NOTE I - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
----------
Prior to closing the business in December 2002, the Company was routinely
a party to ordinary litigation incidental to its business, as well as to
other litigation of a nonmaterial nature, the outcome of which management
does not expect, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
NOTE J - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
During 2003 and 2002, one customer represented 39% and 45% of sales,
respectively.
NOTE K - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
Preferred Stock
---------------
The Company has 1,000,000 shares authorized of $1.00 par value cumulative
preferred stock. The Company's articles of incorporation allow the board
of directors to determine the number of shares and determine the relative
rights and preferences of any series of preferred stock to be issued.
In December 1992, the Company issued 140,000 shares of Series A redeemable
preferred stock (stated value $1 per share). In fiscal 2000, 100,000
shares were redeemed for cash, and 10,000 shares were converted to common
stock, with the remaining 30,000 outstanding at June 30, 2004. Shares
accumulate dividends at 6%, or $1,800 per year. Dividends in arrears at
June 30, 2004 and 2003 on Series A shares totaled $13,950 and $12,150,
respectively.
In fiscal 1996, the Company issued 55 shares of Series H convertible
preferred stock (stated value $25,000 per share). 52 shares were
converted into common stock in fiscal 1997, and one share was converted in
fiscal 2000, with the remaining two shares outstanding at June 30, 2004.
Shares accumulate dividends at 5%, or $2,500 per year and are paid in May
and November of each year. Shares are convertible based on 80% of the
five day average closing bid price of the Company's common stock, with
minimum and maximum conversion limits of $12 and $32 per share,
respectively. Dividends of $5,000 and $2,500 were in arrears on Series H
shares at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
In June 1999, the Company issued 720 shares of Series D-1 convertible
preferred stock (stated value $25,000 per share). The shares accumulated
dividends at 5%, or $900,000 per year and were convertible into common
stock at $32 per share. In fiscal 2002, the Company exchanged these
shares for 240 shares of Series 2002-G preferred stock (stated valued
$25,000 per share). The new series of preferred stock has no provision
for dividends and was convertible into 4,000,000 shares of common stock at
$1.50 per share. All outstanding and unconverted shares of the new
preferred stock as of June 30, 2004 shall be, at the Company's option,
either converted into common stock or redeemed by the Company based on the
market price of the Company's common stock. In conjunction with the
exchange of shares, all accumulated dividends associated with the D-1
preferred stock were released by mutual agreement.
Dividends of $-0-, $-0- and $2,119 on preferred stock were paid during the
years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cumulative
dividends in arrears as of June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 amounted to
$18,950, $14,650 and $10,350, respectively.
In June 2002, the Company issued 20 shares of Series 2002-K convertible
preferred stock (stated value $25,000 per share). The shares have no
provision for dividends and are convertible into common shares at $.80 per
share. At any time, at the Company's sole discretion, the Company may
redeem all or part of the outstanding preferred shares at a price per
share of 120% of their face value.
On April 16, 2003, the holder of the Company's Series 2002-G preferred
stock agreed to modify the terms of the preferred stock, whereby any
future redemption of the preferred stock shall be at the sole option of
the Company rather than at the option of the Holder. This modification to
the terms of the preferred stock resulted in the preferred stock being
accounted for as equity as of June 30, 2003, rather than as liability. In
addition, 44 shares of the preferred stock was converted into 733,335
shares of common stock for a total of $61,500 during the year ended June
30, 2003.
Stock Options
-------------
The Company has periodically granted stock options for employment and
outside services received during the years reported. These options are
treated as fixed, compensatory awards.
The Company has granted non-compensatory stock options to key employees
and directors at market value at the date of grant. The options granted
to directors have generally vested immediately, and the options granted to
employees have generally vested over a 3-year period; however, during
2003, options covering 310,000 shares were granted that vested
immediately. During 2002, options covering 22,688 shares, were granted
that vest over 3 years. No options were granted during 2004.
During 2003 and 2002, options issued to employees and directors with
exercise prices less than market on the grant date were immaterial and,
accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized in those years. Had
compensation cost been determined on the basis of fair value pursuant to
FASB Statement No. 123, net loss and net loss per share for 2004, 2003 and
2002 would have been increased as follows:
