NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share data)
1. UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Internet Pictures Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Interactive Pictures Corporation, Interactive Pictures UK Limited, Internet
Pictures (Canada), Inc. and PW Technology, Inc. The consolidation of these
entities will collectively be referred to as the Company or iPIX. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We have
prepared these financial statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2001. The information furnished reflects all adjustments which
management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial
position as of September 30, 2002 and the results of our operations and our cash
flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2002.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the respective full
years.
2. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts reported in the previous period have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications did not affect
the previously reported total revenue, operating loss, net income (loss), total
current assets, total assets or stockholders' equity.
3. CASH EQUIVALENTS, RESTRICTED CASH AND SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with a remaining maturity at date
of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash
consists primarily of deposits related to certain liabilities. All other liquid
investments are classified as either short term or long term investments. We
determine the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of
purchase and reevaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. At
September 30, 2002, we had $1,400 of investments with a remaining maturity of
three to twelve months that have been provided as collateral for certain capital
lease obligations and, accordingly, classified as restricted short term
investments.
6
4. INCOME TAX PROVISION
At December 31, 2001, the Company has approximately $223,445 and $99,000 of
federal and state, respectively, net operating loss carryforwards, which it may
use to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards, if
not utilized, will begin to expire in 2009. As a result of the utilization of
our carryforwards and that we expect a net loss for the year ending 2002, we did
not record an income tax provision for the net income reported during the
quarter ended September 30, 2002.
5. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with FAS 128, "Earnings Per
Share." Under the provisions of FAS 128, basic net income per share is computed
by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock. Under the provisions of FAS 128, diluted net income per
share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock, plus potential common stock
outstanding during the period. The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per
share excludes potential common shares if the effect is antidilutive. Potential
common shares are composed of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon
the conversion or exercise of potentially dilutive convertible preferred stock,
stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants with exercise prices
above the average common stock closing price during the period are not
considered to be potentially dilutive in the calculation of income (loss) per
share.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income
(loss) per share for the periods indicated:

Under FAS 142, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized, but
reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain indicators
arise. In accordance with FAS 142, the results for the prior year periods have
not been restated. A reconciliation of reported net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per common share as if FAS 142 had been in effect for 2001 is presented
as follows:

6. CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock
On August 22, 2001 our shareholders approved a one-for-ten reverse stock split
of all of our outstanding $0.001 par value common stock and our $0.0001 par
value Class B common stock. No fractional shares of common stock were issued in
connection with the reverse stock split, and cash was issued in lieu of any
fractional shares. The reverse stock split was effective as of the close of
market on August 22, 2001, and our common stock began trading on a reverse split
basis on August 23, 2001. All share and per share data is presented to give
effect to the retroactive application of the reverse stock split. In May 2002,
our stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to the restated certificate
of incorporation decreasing the authorized number of shares of common stock from
150,000 to 50,000.
Preferred Stock
Effective March 26, 2002, each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible into approximately 9.2 shares of the our common stock and is
entitled to vote on matters submitted to holders of common stock on an
as-converted basis. At any time that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
hold more than 50% of our voting stock, a voluntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company must be approved by at least five of the seven members
of our board of directors.
7. RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT
During the first quarter of 2001, we recorded a restructuring charge of $1,878
consisting of expenses associated with a reduction in our workforce, lease
obligations for vacated offices and a $1,122 write down of abandoned office
equipment to its net realizable value.
During the second quarter of 2001, we recorded a restructuring charge of $7,193
consisting of expenses associated with a reduction in our workforce, lease
obligations for vacated offices and a write down of abandoned office equipment
to its net realizable value. Included in the second quarter 2001 restructuring
is $1,300 related to a severance liability for our former Chief Executive
Officer, James M. Phillips. At September 30, 2002, the unpaid liability is $500,
which is to be paid in installments ending in September of 2003. As further
consideration for Mr. Phillips' separation agreement, we forgave a loan from the
Company to Mr. Phillips and the related interest aggregating $2,193, which is
also included in the second quarter of 2001 restructuring expense.
Included in the third quarter 2001 restructuring expense is $1,462 related to
the write off of the unamortized portion of our directors' and officers'
insurance policy. We were required to obtain a new policy due to the change in
control of the Company related to the closing of Tranche B of our capital
raising transaction.
During the third quarter of 2002, we recorded a restructuring charge of $0.7
million consisting of expenses associated primarily with a negotiated buy-out of
certain lease obligations for previously vacated offices. In November 2002, we
paid approximately $1.3 million related to the buy-out and we have remaining
approximately $1.0 million in these restructuring accruals, primarily associated
with re-negotiated lease obligations and long term severance agreements.
9
8. DISPOSAL OF ASSETS
A subsidiary of Homestore.com purchased certain assets from us pursuant to the
terms of an acquisition agreement dated January 12, 2001. Under the terms of the
acquisition agreement, the subsidiary of Homestore.com purchased certain
computers, furniture, fixtures and equipment and certain sales contracts with
residential real estate brokers and agents. We used these assets in our
operations providing virtual tours of residential real estate properties. As
part of the acquisition, Homestore.com's subsidiary hired certain sales force
and customer service personnel. The purchase price for these assets was $12,000
in cash, of which $155 was paid directly to a lessor for certain capital lease
obligations, $7,454 was deposited into control accounts for deferred revenue
obligations and the remainder, $4,391, was paid to us. We also granted
Homestore.com's subsidiary an exclusive domestic license of certain of our
virtual tour technology for the residential real estate market. In the first
quarter of 2001, we recorded an extraordinary gain of $901 from the cash
received from the January 12, 2001 agreement, resulting in the disposal of
assets used to provide tours of residential real estate properties that were
related to the 2000 pooling of Interactive Pictures Corporation and bamboo.com.
The $1,655 loss on the 2001 sale of the remaining residential real estate
related assets that were unrelated to the pooling of Interactive Pictures
Corporation and bamboo.com was included in loss on the disposal of assets in the
accompanying statement of operations.
9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation expense consists of the amortization of deferred
compensation related to stock options granted to employees and others prior to
our initial public offering with an exercise price below the deemed fair market
value of our common stock on the date of grant, to the amortization of the fair
value of warrants and options issued to non-employees and to the amortization of
the fair value of restricted stock granted to employees. The related
compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the options or stock
grants. Expenses related to the warrants are amortized over the term of the
agreements to which they relate.
The following presents, for the periods indicated, the charges that have been
included in the following captions:

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On October 28, 1998, Minds-Eye-View, Inc. ("Minds-Eye") and Mr. Ford Oxaal
("Oxaal") filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of New York. Minds-Eye alleged in its lawsuit that we breached
a duty of confidence to them, made misrepresentations and misappropriated trade
secrets. The court removed this action to arbitration upon our motion, and we
cross-claimed alleging various affirmative claims, including trade secret theft.
Minds-Eye and Oxaal filed a motion to dismiss the suit, and the court dismissed
the lawsuit on May 19, 1999. Although the lawsuit was dismissed, we proceeded
with the arbitration in Knoxville, Tennessee. The arbitration was stayed pending
resolution of the following lawsuit.
On May 20, 1999, Oxaal filed a lawsuit against us and certain of our customers
in the same court alleging that our technology infringes upon a patent claim for
360 degree spherical visual technology held by him. Oxaal filed an additional
complaint on December 5, 2000 in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of New York, naming us as the sole defendant. The complaint
states a single claim for relief, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No.
6,157,385, which issued on December 5, 2000. This patent encompasses a method of
seamlessly combining at least two images into a spherical image.
On June 11, 2002, we reached an out of court settlement with Oxaal and
Minds-Eye. As a result of the settlement, each of the lawsuits and the
arbitration proceeding described above were dismissed and mutual releases have
been executed. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, neither party admitted
liability or any wrongdoing. We were granted a non-exclusive perpetual license
under patents and pending patents conceived by Oxaal or in which Oxaal has an
interest. The license rights inure to the benefit of our customers with respect
to their purchases from us and also inure to the benefit of our business
partners with respect to their business relations with us. We included the
one-time cash payment for the cost of the license in property and equipment on
the accompanying balance sheet. We do not believe that the cost of the license
or the non-cash amortization of the license, had or will have a material effect
on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
During the quarter ending September 30, 2002, we received approximately $1,400
in cash from a previously disclosed favorable jury verdict against Infinite
Pictures that found the defendants liable for infringement of our patents under
the doctrine of equivalents and awarding us $1,000 in damages, plus
approximately $400 in interest and court costs. The defendants filed for a writ
of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court in an effort to reverse the
lower court's findings in our favor. The Supreme Court refused to grant the
writ, which exhausts the legal remedies for disputing the award. Accordingly, we
recorded the $1,000 in damages as other income, along with the $400 in interest
and court costs, in the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
We are subject to claims in the ordinary course of business. We believe the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Please reference Legal
Proceedings in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 on
Form 10-K for disclosures regarding a case undergoing discovery.

11. SEGMENTS
We currently have two reportable segments. The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those of the Company. Management evaluates the
performance of the segments and allocates resources to them based on evaluations
of the segment's gross profit. There are no inter-segment revenues. We do not
make allocations of corporate costs to the individual segments and do not
identify separate assets of the segments in making decisions regarding the
performance or the allocation of resources to them.
Information about the reported segments is as follows:

In fiscal year 2001, we organized into two primary business units: Transaction
Services and Immersive Solutions. In addition, as part of the sale of assets to
Homestore.com during the first quarter of 2001, we no longer directly sell full
service virtual real estate tours or iPIX keys to customers in the U.S.
residential real estate market. We have not generated full service virtual tour
revenues since the quarter ended September 30, 2001 and we expect to generate
minimal future revenues from the sale of full service virtual real estate tours
in the U.S. residential real estate markets. Full service real estate is
presented as a segment in 2001.
12. EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets"(FAS 142), effective January 1, 2002. Under FAS 142, goodwill
is no longer amortized, but reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently
if certain indicators arise. Under the transitional requirements, we completed
an impairment test and no impairment loss resulted. See Note 5.
We also adopted FAS 144, effective January 1, 2002. In August 2001, the FASB
issued FAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets." FAS 144 replaces FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The FASB issued FAS 144 to
establish a single accounting model, based on the framework established in FAS
121, as FAS 121 did not address the accounting for a segment of a business
accounted for as a discontinued operation under APB 30, "Reporting The Results
of Operations -- Reporting The Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business
and Extraordinary Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions."
FAS 144 also resolves significant implementation issues related to FAS 121. We
determined that the adoption of FAS 144 did not have a material impact on our
reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
12
In February 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF 00-14,
"Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket
Expenses Incurred," which is effective for financial statements beginning after
December 31, 2001. EITF 00-14 requires that reimbursements received for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred, generally, be characterized as revenue in the
statement of operations. We adopted EITF 00-14 in the quarter ended March 31,
2002. The adoption of EITF 00-14 did not have a material effect on our reported
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued FAS 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal
Activities'" ("FAS 146"). FAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the
recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit
and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently
accounted for under EITF 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The scope of FAS 146 also includes costs
related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination
benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms
of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or
an individual deferred-compensation contract. FAS 146 will be effective for exit
or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early
application is encouraged. We will adopt FAS 146 during the first quarter ending
March 31, 2003. The provisions of EITF 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit
activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF 94-3 prior
to the adoption of FAS 146. The effect on adoption of FAS 146 will change on a
prospective basis the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded from a
commitment date approach to when the liability is incurred.
13. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit
risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short term
investments and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash
and short term investments are deposited with high quality financial
institutions. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from
clients located in the U.S. and abroad. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of
our clients' financial condition and we do not require collateral from our
clients.
The following table summarizes the revenue from customers in excess of 10% of
total revenues:
Three months ended Nine months ended
September 30, September 30,
------------------ -----------------
2001 2002 2001 2002
---- ---- ---- ----
Customer A 46% 16% 29% 20%
Customer B 27% 57% 17% 54%
13
At September 30, 2002, Customer A holds a warrant for 16 shares of our common
stock. At September 30, 2002, Customer B represents 53% of accounts receivable
and holds 100 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock and a warrant for 60 shares
of our common stock. All amounts due from Customer B as of September 30, 2002,
were collected during October 2002. Our principal agreements with Customer A and
Customer B, expire on March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, respectively. These
agreements are subject to extension, amendment and re-negotiation from time to
time.
14. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND WARRANTS
On May 14, 2001, we entered into a definitive agreement with Image Investor
Portfolio, a separate series of Memphis Angels, LLC ("Image") for an investment
by Image in the Company. Pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase
agreement with Image dated as of May 14, 2001, Image purchased our $10,000
convertible senior secured note (the "Note") and received Tranche A and Tranche
B warrants to purchase up to $20,000 of our Series B Preferred Stock.
The warrants were issued in conjunction with the convertible promissory note,
and accordingly, based on APB 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt
Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants," and EITF 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible
Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features," the entire proceeds from the
convertible promissory note, $10,000, were allocated to the warrants and the
beneficial conversion feature based on a calculation using the Black-Scholes
model. During the second quarter of 2001, we recorded $805 as interest expense
related to the accretion of the convertible promissory note to its face value
over the fifteen month period of the Note. During the third quarter of 2001, the
$10,000 Note and the Tranche B warrants were converted to preferred stock and,
accordingly, we recorded $9,195 as interest expense related to the accretion of
the convertible promissory note to its face value.
At September 30, 2002, there are two Tranche A warrants ("Warrant 1" and
"Warrant 2"), issued to Paradigm Capital Partners and Memphis Angels, LLC, which
are outstanding. Warrant 1 entitles the holder to purchase 150 shares of Series
B Preferred Stock at $20 per share and is exercisable at any time before the
expiration date of May 14, 2006. Warrant 2 entitles the holder to purchase 100
shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $40 per share and is exercisable at any
time before the expiration date of May 14, 2006.
15. iPIX INTERNATIONAL
In the third quarter of 2002, we entered into license, distribution and
trademark agreements with Soroof International, a Saudi Arabia-based corporation
("Soroof"). Under the agreements, Soroof will be the exclusive distributor for
iPIX immersive still products, including the iPIX GPS Mapping System, outside of
North America and Asia through its newly established entity, iPIX International
("iPIX-I"). The agreement, effective July 1, 2002, expires December 31, 2007,
unless renewed. iPIX-I has an exclusive license to develop integrated solutions
for markets including real estate, travel and tourism and other markets in which
online marketing is critical. We will also provide certain hosting services
during the term of the agreements. Soroof has committed to certain minimum
quarterly royalties during the term of the agreement. Should these minimum
royalties not be met, we have the right to terminate our agreements with Soroof.
14
iPIX has a minority equity interest in iPIX-I, however, iPIX does not have the
ability to exercise significant influence over iPIX-I operations. We account for
our investment in iPIX-I on the cost basis. We did not make any capital
contributions to iPIX-I and we have no commitments to fund iPIX-I. We do have
the right, however, but not the obligation, to purchase iPIX-I from Soroof after
December 31, 2005 for consideration as defined in the agreement. During the
quarter ended September 30, 2002, we recognized $365 of revenue under these
agreements.
16. PURCHASE AGREEMENT-LEASEBACK
On September 26, 2001 and May 31, 2002, we sold certain assets totaling $2,474
and $2,494, respectively, to a stockholder and agreed to leaseback those assets
over a three-year period. The net book value and the fair value of the assets
equaled the sale price, resulting in no gain or loss on the sale of the assets.
In order to sell the assets to the stockholder during the third quarter 2001, we
paid off the remaining payments under an existing capital lease of the assets
from a third party. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, we sold certain
assets totaling $1,376 to an unaffiliated leasing company and agreed to
leaseback those assets over a thirty-month period. The net book value and the
fair value of the assets equaled the sale price, resulting in no gain or loss on
the sale of the assets.
The future aggregate lease payments are approximately $1,200 in the quarter
ended December 31, 2002, $2,500 in 2003, $1,400 in 2004 and $100 in 2005. The
leases are accounted for as capital leases in accordance with FAS 13,
"Accounting for Leases."
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and
assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of
operations and our financial condition together with our consolidated
subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual
Report filed on Form 10-K. Historical results and percentage relationships set
forth in the statement of operations, including trends which might appear, are
not necessarily indicative of future operations.
OVERVIEW
In 2001, we restructured the Company around our higher gross margin businesses.
The result is that we are focused on two businesses: (1) providing outsourced
imaging services to facilitate online transactions in the auction, classifieds
and real estate markets and (2) providing immersive imaging solutions for the
real estate, security and observation and visual documentation markets. Our
products and services include the capture, processing, management and
distribution of images and related data. Revenues from online auctions and
classifieds are primarily transaction based. Our transaction services involve
designing, building and managing an image management infrastructure as well as
leasing spaces from state-of-the-art co-location facilities with access to
telecommunications bandwidth. Since these services are capital intensive, a high
percentage of the costs associated with transaction services are fixed and
accordingly the margins from transaction services are highly dependent upon
asset utilization.
15
Our immersive technology primarily generates revenues in two ways: licenses of
software and re-sale of camera equipment. We utilize iPIX keys to license our
still immersive technology to capture and save a single immersive image. We also
offer time-based seat or user licenses which permit an unlimited number of
immersive images to be captured and saved within a specific time period, usually
a year. Our video immersive technology, which may be off-line or online, may be
purchased on a per-unit basis or a per-year license. We sell our immersive
products and services primarily into the real estate, security and observation
and visual documentation markets. The cost of sales for our licenses is very
low. The cost of sales for the sale of camera equipment can be 50% to 75% of
related revenues.
We also provide professional services to customers that request specific
customizations or integrations of our products and services. Providing
professional services is labor intensive, and our cost of sales for professional
service tends to be 50% to 60% of revenues.
Our real estate business has changed over the past few years. In 2000, our real
estate focused revenues were generated from four primary sources: full service
virtual tours; image management services; camera kits and immersive keys; and
professional services. We offered full service virtual tours through January
2001. A full service tour includes the capture, processing, management and
distribution of real estate images and related data for one price. As part of
the sale of assets to a subsidiary of Homestore.com in January 2001, we no
longer directly sell full service virtual tours to customers in the U.S.
residential real estate market.
Throughout 2001, our real estate focused revenues were generated from three
primary sources: image management services; camera kits and immersive keys; and
other services. Our image management products and services were used in the real
estate industry primarily to associate online still images with for-sale
listings. This service is offered to customers under license agreements,
transaction based agreements and revenue share agreements for real estate
properties around the world. Through January 12, 2002, we provided Homestore.com
with processing, hosting and distribution services and received transaction
fees.
iPIX INTERNATIONAL
In the third quarter of 2002, we entered into license, distribution and
trademark agreements with Soroof International, a Saudi Arabia-based corporation
("Soroof"). Under the agreements, Soroof will be the exclusive distributor for
iPIX immersive still products, including the iPIX GPS Mapping System, outside of
North America and Asia through its newly established entity, iPIX International
("iPIX-I"). The agreement, effective July 1, 2002, expires December 31, 2007,
unless renewed. iPIX-I has an exclusive license to develop integrated solutions
for markets including real estate, travel and tourism and other markets in which
online marketing is critical. iPIX-I serves as an effective extension of our
international channel strategy and allows iPIX to provide our patented immersive
still products globally.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Reporting Release 60 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), requires all registrants to discuss critical accounting policies or
methods used in the preparation of the financial statements. The notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report filed on Form
10-K include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used
in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Further, we have
made a number of estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and actual results may differ from
those estimates. Those areas that require the greatest degree of management
judgment include adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for
obsolete inventory, valuations of intangible assets and the estimated costs for
excess facilities related to lease terminations and non-cancelable lease costs
utilized in satisfaction of outstanding lease obligations.
We believe that full consideration has been given to all relevant circumstances
that we may be subject to, and our financial statements accurately reflect
management's best estimate of the results of operations, financial position and
cash flows for the periods presented.
We believe the following represent our critical accounting policies:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, "Software Revenue
Recognition," and SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."
Transaction hosting revenues are recognized as transactions are performed
provided there was persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee was fixed and
determinable and collection of the resulting receivable was probable. Initial
license fees are recognized when a contract exists, the fee is fixed and
determinable, software delivery has occurred and collection of the receivable is
deemed probable. If there are continuing obligations, then we recognize revenue
ratably over the life of the contract. Product revenue is recognized upon
shipment or delivery provided there are no uncertainties surrounding product
acceptance or significant vendor obligations, the fees are fixed and
determinable and collection is considered probable. Royalties derived from
desktop imaging products are recognized as revenues upon receipt of the royalty
sell-through reports from customers, which are generally in the quarter
following the quarter in which the sale by the customer took place.
Revenues from the sale of our virtual tour products are recognized upon
distribution to the Website designated by the customer. Revenues generated from
professional services are recognized as the related services are performed. When
such professional services are combined with on-going transaction services or
are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software
product, revenue from the entire arrangement is recognized while the transaction
services are performed, on a percentage of completion method or not until the
contract is completed in accordance with SOP 81-1, "Accounting for Performance
of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts," and ARB 45,
"Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts."
17
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in
connection with establishing the doubtful account allowances in any accounting
period. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad
debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic
trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of
the allowance for doubtful accounts. Material differences could result in the
amount and timing of expense recorded if management had different judgment or
utilized different estimates.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Quarter Ended
September 30, 2001
Revenues. Total revenues decreased to $6.0 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2002, compared to $6.6 million in quarter ended September 30,
2001, a decrease of $0.6 million or 9%. The decrease was the result of a $0.5
million decrease from our exit of full service virtual tour real estate
business, a $0.5 million decrease in immersive solutions and an increase of $0.4
million increase in revenue from transaction services. The immersive solutions
decrease was primarily the result of lower key sales in the U.S. residential
market. The increased revenues in the transaction services group was primarily
related to increased services to on-line auction clients.
As part of the sale of assets to Homestore.com during the first quarter of 2001,
we no longer directly sell full service virtual tours or iPIX keys to customers
in the U.S. residential real estate market. Instead, through January 12, 2002,
we provided Homstore.com certain processing, hosting and distribution services
and received transaction fees and royalties. Throughout 2001, other than full
service virtual tours, our real estate focused revenues were generated from
three primary sources: image management services; camera kits and immersive
keys; and other services. For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, revenues
included $6.1 million from the sale of our technology products and services and
$0.5 million related to full service virtual real estate tours. We did not
generate full service virtual tour revenues after September 30, 2001 and do not
expect to generate any future revenues from the sale of full service virtual
real estate tours in the U.S. residential markets.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists of our direct expenses associated
with the processing, hosting and distribution of digital content and the costs
of the digital camera and related components included in an iPIX kit. Cost of
revenues decreased to $2.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2002,
compared to $2.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of
$0.1 million or 4%. The decrease was the result of a change to higher gross
margin products in the product mix of immersive services, software and hardware
($0.3 million) and our exit from the full service virtual tour real estate
business ($0.1 million). Immersive solution revenues include $0.5 million and
$0.5 million from the sale of camera kits for the quarters ended September 30,
2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively, with a cost of $0.3 million and $0.5
million. These decreases were offset partially by an increase of $0.3 million in
the cost of providing transaction services primarily as a result of increased
depreciation expense from additional purchases of computer hardware and software
in order to manage increased current and anticipated transaction volumes. Cost
of revenues as a percentage of total revenues increased to 38% in the quarter
ended September 30, 2002 from 36% in the quarter ended September 30, 2001.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries
for marketing, sales and business development personnel. Sales and marketing
expenses also include commissions and related benefits for sales personnel and
consultants, advertising and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased to $1.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to
$3.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.1 million
or 38%. We signed more reseller contracts and restructured our sales strategy,
which resulted in a $0.9 million decrease in our sales and marketing costs. In
addition, stock-based expenses recorded to sales and marketing expense,
decreased from $0.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2001, to $29
thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
19
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of
personnel costs related to enhancing our digital media infrastructure and
immersive imaging technology. Research and development expenses decreased to
$1.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to $1.8 million
in the quarter ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $0.6 million or 35%. This
decrease was due primarily to decreased personnel and related costs.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related benefits for administrative and executive
staff, fees for outside professional services, bad debt expenses and other costs
associated with being a public company. General and administrative expenses
decreased to $0.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to
$2.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.7 million
or 73%. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in personnel and related
costs ($1.2 million), a decrease in bad debt expense ($0.3 million) and reduced
fees related to refunded court costs ($0.1 million). In addition, non-cash
stock-based expenses recorded to general and administrative expense, decreased
from $0.1 million in 2001, to zero in the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
Goodwill Amortization. Goodwill amortization in 2001 was the result of goodwill
associated with corporate acquisitions during 2000. Amortization of goodwill was
$0.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. We adopted FAS 142 as of
January 1, 2002 and, as a result, we no longer amortize goodwill.
Restructuring and Impairment. Restructuring and impairment charges decreased to
$0.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to $1.5 million
in the quarter ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $0.8 million or 53%.
Restructuring charges in 2002 related to obligations under non-productive
facility leases resulting from the consolidation of certain offices. The third
quarter 2001 restructuring charge of $1.5 million related to the write off of
the unamortized portion of our directors' and officers' insurance policy. We
were required to obtain a new policy due to the change in control of the Company
related to the closing of Tranche B of our capital raising transaction.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $0.1 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2002, compared to $9.6 million in the quarter ended September 30,
2001. This decrease is primarily related to the 2001 non-cash expense of $9.2
million related to the accretion of the promissory note issued to Image Investor
Portfolio, a separate series of Memphis Angels, LLC to its face value and the
weighted average amount of debt in each period. During May 2001, we borrowed $10
million which was repaid in full in September 2001 as part of our sale of
preferred stock.
Interest Income. Interest income generally consists of interest earned on cash
and investments. Interest income increased to $0.3 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2002, compared to $38 thousand in the quarter ended September 30,
2001. The increase was primarily due to interest earned on the patent
infringement award.
20
Patent infringement award. Patent infringement award of $1.0 million in the
quarter ended September 30, 2002, is due to the collection of a previously
awarded court judgment for which all legal remedies for appeal have been
exhausted and the case is now closed.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense increased to $14 thousand in the quarter
ended September 30, 2002, compared to other income of $6 thousand in the 2001
quarter.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2001
Revenues. Total revenues decreased to $16.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to $24.1 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2001, a decrease of $7.5 million or 31%. This decrease was due to a decrease
of $7.5 million in sales of full service virtual tours. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, revenues of $24.1 million included $16.5 million from
the sale of our technology products and services and $7.6 million related to
full service virtual real estate tours. We did not generate full service virtual
tour revenues after September 30, 2001 and do not expect to generate any future
revenues from the sale of full service virtual real estate tours in the U.S.
residential markets. Transaction services revenues increased 22% or $2.1 million
to $11.6 million during the first nine months of 2002 relative to the first nine
months of 2001 and represent 70% of total revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002. The increase is transaction services revenue is primarily a
result of increased services related to on-line auctions. Immersive solutions
revenues decreased 29% or $2.0 million to $4.9 million during the first nine
months of 2002 relative to the first nine months of 2001, primarily as a result
of a decreased focus on lower operating margin sales opportunities.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues decreased to $6.6 million in the first nine
months of 2002, compared to $10.7 million in the first nine months of 2001, a
decrease of $4.1 million or 38%. $3.5 million of the decrease was the result of
our exit from the full service virtual tour real estate business and $1.3
million of the decrease was related to a change in the product mix of immersive
software and hardware sales, offset partially by an increase of $0.7 million or
15% in the cost of generating 22% more revenue from transaction services.
Immersive solution revenues include $1.5 million and $1.4 million from the sale
of camera kits for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30,
2001, respectively, with a cost of $0.9 million and $1.0 million. Cost of
revenues as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 40% in the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 from 44% in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $6.1 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $19.3 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $13.2 million or 69%. $9.4
million of this decrease was due primarily to our decision to sell more of our
products and services through third parties and become less reliant upon a
worldwide direct sales force. As a result, we significantly decreased our sales
force and eliminated our field operations personnel. We also eliminated $2.3
million of costs relating to sponsorship fees, advertising and branding
expenses. In addition, stock-based compensation expenses recorded to sales and
marketing expense, decreased from $1.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, to $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
21
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased to $3.7
million in the first nine months of 2002, compared to $6.4 million in the first
nine months of 2001, a decrease of $2.7 million or 42%. This decrease was due
primarily to decreased personnel and related costs as a result of our reduction
in work force and the exit of the full service real estate tour business.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased to
$2.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $13.9
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $11.5 million
or 82%. This decrease was due primarily to decreased personnel and related costs
($4.0 million), a decrease in bad debt expense ($3.8 million), reduced fees paid
for professional services ($1.2 million) and our exit from the full service
virtual tour real estate business ($0.4 million). In addition, non-cash
stock-based compensation expenses recorded to general and administrative
expense, decreased from $2.1 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2001, to zero in the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Goodwill Amortization. Goodwill amortization in 2001 was the result of goodwill
associated with corporate acquisitions during 2000. Amortization of goodwill was
$1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We adopted FAS 142 as
of January 1, 2002 and, as a result, we no longer amortize goodwill.
Restructuring and Impairment. Restructuring and impairment charges decreased to
$0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared $11.7 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
The charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 consisted of expenses
associated with a reduction in our workforce, lease obligations for vacated
office and other contractual obligations. Restructuring charges in 2001 also
included $1.5 million related to the write off of the unamortized portion of our
directors' and officers' insurance policy, which was canceled as a result of our
change in control in September 2001.
Included in the 2001 restructuring is $1.3 million related to a severance
liability with our former Chief Executive Officer, James M. Phillips. At
September 30, 2002 the unpaid liability is $0.5 million, which is to be paid in
installments ending in September of 2003. As further consideration for Mr.
Phillips' separation agreement, in 2001 we forgave a loan from the Company to
Mr. Phillips and the related interest aggregating $2.2 million. In addition to
the restructuring, we wrote down abandoned office equipment of $1.1 million to
its net realizable value.
Restructuring charges in 2002 were related to outstanding obligations under
non-productive facility leases resulting from the consolidation of certain
offices.
Loss on Disposal of Assets. The loss during the first nine months of 2001 on the
disposal of assets of $1.7 million is primarily the result of the sale of assets
used to provide residential real estate virtual tours that consisted of the
remaining residential real estate assets that were unrelated to the 2000 pooling
of Interactive Pictures Corporation and bamboo.com.
22
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $0.1 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $10.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. In the first nine months of 2001, we recorded a non-cash
interest expense of $10.0 million related to the accretion of the promissory
note to its face value. Cash interest expense of $0.6 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 primarily related to the $10.0 million of debt
outstanding from May 2001 through September 2001. Cash interest expense of $0.1
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 primarily related to capital
lease obligations.
Interest Income. Interest income generally consists of interest earned on cash
and investments. Interest income increased to $0.4 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $0.2 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to interest earned on the
patent infringement award.
Patent infringement award. Patent infringement award of $1.0 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, is due to the collection of a previously
awarded court judgment for which all legal remedies for appeal have been
exhausted and the case is now closed.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense decreased to $10 thousand in the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $0.4 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to realized losses on
investments sold during 2001.
Extraordinary Gain. The extraordinary gain during the first nine months of 2001
of $0.9 million resulted from the sale of assets used to provide residential
real estate virtual tours that were related to the 2000 pooling of Interactive
Pictures Corporation and bamboo.com. The sale transaction took place within a
year of the 2000 pooling transaction.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, we have financed our operations through our registered public
offerings, the private placements of capital stock, a convertible debenture, a
convertible promissory note, capital leases and warrant and option exercises. At
September 30, 2002, we had $9.6 million of cash, restricted cash and short term
investments, of which $6.4 million was unrestricted.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter is
primarily a result of the $0.6 million in net income plus non-cash charges for
$1.0 million of depreciation, net of $0.5 million of amortization of deferred
revenues. Included in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, is
the receipt of $1.0 million from patent infringement damages and $0.4 million in
related interest income and reimbursed court costs. In addition, during the
quarter ended September 30, 2002, an accrual for $0.7 million was provided for
restructuring charges associated with outstanding obligations under
non-productive facility leases. Cash provided by operations of $1.1 million in
the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was a sequential $1.9 million improvement
from $0.8 million used in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and a $3.7 million
year-over-year improvement from the $2.6 million used in the quarter ended
September 30, 2001.
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2001. Net cash used for operating activities in each of these periods is
primarily a result of net losses and changes in working capital.
Also included in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, were the following:
o Non-cash depreciation ($2.5 million);
o a decrease in deferred revenue primarily related to pre-payments
collected in 2001 ($1.6 million);
o an increase in receivables due primarily to increased services to
on-line auction clients ($0.8 million);
o a decrease in accounts payable primarily related to payments of
year-end accruals from 2001 ($0.4 million);
o a decrease in accrued expenses primarily related to payments of
restructuring accruals from 2001 and payments of prior
obligations under extended terms ($0.6 million); and
o receipt of $1.4 million from the patent infringement settlement.
Net cash used in investment activities was $4.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and net cash provided by investment activities was
$16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash used in
investing activities in the first nine months of 2002 was primarily related to
the acquisition of computer software and hardware and the purchase of short term
investments. We do not currently expect any significant acquisitions of computer
hardware and software throughout the remainder of 2002.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and $17.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2001. The cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of
2002 was primarily related to sale/leaseback transactions. The net cash provided
by financing activities for the first nine months of 2001 was due primarily to
the proceeds from the convertible note and warrants which were converted into
preferred stock in the quarter ended September 30, 2001.
24
During the third quarter of 2002, we recorded a restructuring charge of $0.7
million consisting of expenses associated primarily with a negotiated buy-out of
certain lease obligations for previously vacated offices. In November 2002, we
paid approximately $1.3 million related to the buy-out and we have remaining
approximately $1.0 million in these restructuring accruals, primarily associated
with re-negotiated lease obligations and long term severance agreements.
In 2001 and 2002, we sold certain assets and agreed to lease them back. The
future aggregate lease payments are approximately $1,200 in the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, $2,500 in 2003, $1,400 in 2004 and $100 in 2005.
Management believes we have sufficient cash resources to meet our funding needs
for at least the next twelve months. We finished the quarter ended September 30,
2002 with $9.6 million in cash and restricted cash and short term investments.
Management's focus is to reduce our cash requirements to manageable levels and
focus our operations on profitability.
Our operating expenses, however, are primarily based on anticipated revenue
levels. Since a high percentage of those expenses are capital intensive and
relatively fixed, a delay in revenue from licenses or transactions could cause
significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter, and we may
sustain losses as a result.
Our long term strategy remains unchanged. We will continue to make necessary
capital investments as well as investments in research and development for all
segments and will invest in the expansion of the online auction and classified
businesses and in the development of new security and observation products and
services during this economic downturn.
We recently announced that NASDAQ approved our request to transfer to the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market, effective November 1, 2002. Our securities will continue
trading under the symbol: IPIX. Listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market enables us
to maintain a liquid trading profile on a well-regulated and transparent market
for the benefit of all our stockholders. The NASDAQ SmallCap Market gives our
stockholders continued access to the electronic trading efficiencies of NASDAQ.
We currently meet all criteria for continued inclusion in the NASDAQ SmallCap
Market. We may also transfer back to the NASDAQ National Market when we comply
with applicable initial listing requirements for the NASDAQ National Market,
principally $15 million of shareholders' equity.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets"(FAS 142), effective January 1, 2002. Under FAS 142, goodwill
is no longer amortized, but reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently
if certain indicators arise. Under the transitional requirements, we completed
an impairment test and no impairment loss resulted.
We also adopted FAS 144, effective January 1, 2002. In August 2001, the FASB
issued FAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets." FAS 144 replaces FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The FASB issued FAS 144 to
establish a single accounting model, based on the framework established in FAS
121, as FAS 121 did not address the accounting for a segment of a business
accounted for as a discontinued operation under APB 30, "Reporting The Results
of Operations -- Reporting The Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business
and Extraordinary Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions."
FAS 144 also resolves significant implementation issues related to FAS 121. We
determined that the adoption of FAS 144 did not have a material impact on our
reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
25
In February 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF 00-14,
"Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket
Expenses Incurred," which is effective for financial statements beginning after
December 31, 2001. EITF 00-14 requires that reimbursements received for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred, generally, be characterized as revenue in the
statement of operations. We adopted EITF 00-14 in the quarter ended March 31,
2002. The adoption of EITF 00-14 did not have a material effect on our reported
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued FAS 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal
Activities'" ("FAS 146"). FAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the
recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit
and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently
accounted for under EITF 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The scope of FAS 146 also includes costs
related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination
benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms
of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or
an individual deferred-compensation contract. FAS 146 will be effective for exit
or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early
application is encouraged. We will adopt FAS 146 during the first quarter ending
March 31, 2003. The provisions of EITF 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit
activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF 94-3 prior
to the adoption of FAS 146. The effect on adoption of FAS 146 will change on a
prospective basis the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded from a
commitment date approach to when the liability is incurred.
INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations to date.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our market risk sensitive instruments do not subject us to material market risk
exposures.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's chief
executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rule13a-14(c)) as of a date within 90 days of the
filing date of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the chief
executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material
information relating to the Company and the Company's consolidated subsidiaries
is made known to such officers by others within these entities, particularly
during the period this quarterly report was prepared, in order to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There have not been any significant changes in
the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains statements about future events and expectations
which are characterized as forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on our management's beliefs, assumptions and expectations
of our future economic performance, taking into account the information
currently available to them. These statements are not statements of historical
fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause
our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially
different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial
condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. Factors that
could contribute to these differences include those discussed in "Risk Factors"
of our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2002.
The words "believe", "may", "will", "should", "anticipate", "estimate",
"expect", "intends", "objective" or similar words or the negatives of these
words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We qualify any
forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
During the quarter ending September 30, 2002, we received approximately $1.4
million in cash from a previously disclosed favorable jury verdict against
Infinite Pictures that found the defendants liable for infringement of our
patents under the doctrine of equivalents and awarding us $1.0 million in
damages, plus $0.4 million in interest and court costs. The defendants filed for
a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court in an effort to
reverse the lower court's findings in our favor. The Supreme Court refused to
grant the writ, which exhausts the legal remedies for disputing the award.
Accordingly, we recorded the $1.0 million in damages as other income, along with
the $0.4 million in interest and court costs, in the quarter ended September 30,
2002.
We are subject to claims in the ordinary course of business. We believe the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Please reference Legal Proceedings in our Annual Report for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001 on filed on Form 10-K on March 29, 2002 and 2002
quarterly filings on Form 10-Q for disclosures regarding a case undergoing
discovery.
