Revolving credit note In March 2002, Tanisys entered into a new Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (Debt Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (Silicon), replacing the former Accounts Receivable Financing Agreement, to fund accounts receivable and provide working capital up to a maximum of $2.5 million. The applicable interest rate is 1.5% per month of the average daily balance outstanding during the month. As of June 30, 2002, Tanisys owed $262,000 under the Debt Agreement. Advances During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company advanced $43,000 to Tanisys. These advances are due to the Company under the terms of promissory notes bearing interest at twelve percent (12%) and maturing during the quarter ending December 31, 2002. Inventory write-down Due to the decline in the semiconductor business cycle and the impact on revenues since the end of 2000, and continued uncertainty of future sales volumes, Tanisys continues to monitor its inventory levels in light of product development changes and future sales forecasts. As a result, Tanisys recorded an inventory write-down of $0.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 (included in cost of revenues), for excess and obsolete inventories. In the future, Tanisys may be required to take additional charges for excess and obsolete inventory if the industry downturn causes further reductions to the current inventory valuations or changes the Companys current product development plans. |

For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, EBITDA of $(0.5) million includes severance charges totaling $0.2 million related to Princetons restructuring plan to streamline its operations. For the nine months ended June 30, 2002, EBITDA of $(21.0) million includes impairment charges totaling $11.7 million. Approximately $8.5 million of the impairment charges relate to the implementation of a strategic restructuring plan to streamline Princetons operations by reducing operating expenses primarily through workforce reductions and renegotiating significant contracts and leases. The primary components of the restructuring charges include $5.2 million for employee separations and $3.2 million for contract settlements. The additional impairment charges relate to the write-down of a portion of the asset value of Princetons property and equipment. The impairment was recognized as the future undiscounted cash flows for Princeton were estimated to be insufficient to recover the related carrying values of the property and equipment. Equity Financing In June 2002, Princeton completed an aggregate $31.0 million equity financing, which commenced in November 2001. Princeton expects to use the funds for the development of more advanced billing and payment technologies, products and services, as well as for working capital purposes. As of September 30, 2002, the Companys ownership of the outstanding and fully diluted shares (considering all issued options and warrants) of Princeton was 38.2% and 35.2%, respectively. Acquisition of Quicken Bill Manager In May 2001, Princeton announced its acquisition of Quicken Bill Manager from Intuit Inc. (Intuit). Quicken Bill Manager provides online bill presentment and payment services by processing payments for customers utilizing Intuits Quicken personal financial management software. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Princeton acquired the assets of Intuits Quicken Bill Manager through the purchase of certain technologies from Intuit and all of the outstanding shares of Venture Finance Services Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Intuit. The pro forma adjustments to the Companys financial statements relate to the additional equity in net loss of affiliates the Company would have recorded had Princeton acquired Quicken Bill Manager at the beginning of the period presented. The following pro forma financial information for the Company is provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, based upon the assumption that Princeton had acquired Quicken Bill Manager as of October 1, 1999. |

Research and development (R&D) expenses, generated entirely by Tanisys operations, consist of all costs associated with the engineering design and testing of new technologies and products. These costs reflect the ongoing development of test systems for both Double Data Rate (DDR) and Flash memory technologies, as well as a new distributed networking architecture that can be applied to all memory technologies. Net other income totaled $0.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to net other expense of $4.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Net other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, primarily included (i) the equity in net loss of Princeton of $1.2 million, (ii) consulting income from Platinum of $0.9 million and (iii) the minority interest of $0.5 million related to Tanisys. Net other expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, primarily included (i) the equity in net loss of Princeton of $7.0 million, (ii) consulting income from Platinum of $0.9 million and (iii) the realized gains from the sales of the available-for-sale securities of $0.6 million. Discontinued Operations In June 2002, the Company filed its federal income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service for the tax fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. The Company received a refund claim totaling $2.2 million in July 2002. The income tax refund is reflected as net income from disposal of discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as the refund relates to those companies sold in the Transaction. The Company continually reviews the accruals related to discontinued operations to assess the adequacy of the accruals. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company reduced such accruals and recognized income from the disposal of discontinued operations of $1.5 million, based upon estimates of future liabilities related to the divested entities. The $1.5 million is reflected as net income from disposal of discontinued operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Princeton Princetons revenues increased to $8.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, from $5.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, increased to $20.4 million from $14.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2001. The increases in revenue are due to the increase in Princetons customer base coupled with an increase in adoption rates experienced in the electronic bill presentment and payment industry. Princetons net loss of $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 decreased from the $12.2 million net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in the net loss is the result of the increase in revenues generated as well as the reductions made to operating expenses during 2002. Princetons net loss of $29.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, decreased from the $32.7 million net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2001. The net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, included impairment charges totaling $11.7 million, related to the impairment of property and equipment, employee separations and contract settlements. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Companys cash balance increased to $9.2 million at September 30, 2002, from $8.6 million at December 31, 2001. This increase is primarily related to the $2.2 million income tax refund and the $1.5 million redemption of the Companys investment in Princeton, offset by the $3.9 million invested in Princeton. The Companys working capital position decreased to $8.7 million at September 30, 2002, from $9.5 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in the working capital was primarily attributable to the decrease in the inventory balance. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was $2.7 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. |
