TIGER TELEMATICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2004 and the
three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 included herein have been
prepared by the Company, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
information for the periods indicated have been included. For further
information regarding the Company's accounting policies, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tiger Telematics,
Inc. (Company), the public held parent company, Tiger Telematics, USA, Inc.
(Tiger USA), a near dormant subsidiary and Tiger Telematics Europe, Ltd. (Tiger
Europe). The Company started Tiger Europe (now named Gizmondo Europe Ltd.) in
December 2002 and a related entity Childtracker Ltd. (a development entity) that
existed as a part of Tiger Europe's focus on developing new telematics products
including next generation fleet telematic products, the child tracker products
and the handheld multi-entertainment gaming device now called Gizmondo.
The financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2003, were not
reviewed by the Company's independent certified public accountant. However, the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, were audited by the
Company's independent certified public accountants. The Company's management
believes that a review by the Company's independent certified public accounts of
the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2003, would not
result in any material change to these financial statements. See Note J to the
financial statements - Restatement of 2003 Financial Statements.
Liquidity:
The Company has sustained net losses over the past three years and at March 31,
2004 had a net working capital deficit of $11,268,167.
Management sold off its unprofitable flooring business and is pursuing its
telematics business. The Company anticipates issuing equity securities to meet
working capital requirements and to fund development costs incurred in
connection with developing telematics related products that the Company believes
will enhance its operations.
F-6
Description of the Business:
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries are principally engaged in the
business of developing and marketing the Gizmondo wireless handheld
multi-entertainment gaming device.
The Company started Gizmondo Europe, Ltd. in late 2002 to focus on developing
new telematics products including next generation fleet telematics products, the
Gizmondo electronic game product, and to focus on marketing principally in the
UK.
In early 2003, the Company began developing a new multi-entertainment wireless
handheld gaming device that is now referred to as Gizmondo. Since then the
Company's primary business strategy has been to develop and market Gizmondo. The
Company initially launched a limited production version of the Gizmondo in the
UK on October 29, 2004, and expects to launch the full scale production of
Gizmondo in 2005.
Segment Information:
The Company focuses all of its business in one segment, the development,
production, and sale of the handheld multi-entertainment gaming device,
Gizmondo.
NOTE B - ADVANCES TO EMPLOYEES AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
The advances are due from employees of subsidiaries of the Company and are due
on demand, without interest. The amounts were repaid in the third quarter of
2004.
Other receivables are amounts due from vendors and VAT tax recoverable from
government agencies.
NOTE C - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Debt due shareholders aggregating approximately $55,000 was retired in exchange
for shares of restricted common stock valued at $.50 to $1.00 per share.
The Company issued shares of restricted common stock in payment of services,
principally consulting, provided from unrelated vendors. The shares issued were
valued at $.50 to $2.03 per share.
During the first quarter of 2004, 2,296,972 shares of restricted common stock
were sold primarily for $.50 to $1.50 per share. Included in that amount in an
isolated case the Company sold, 36,000 shares of restricted common stock for
$3.50 per share.
F-7
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued approximately
26,808,502 shares of restricted common stock, including the first quarter shares
shown above, as follows:

Private placement 12,726,172 $55,496,479

===========

===========
NOTE D- REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES
In July 2004, the Company's shareholders approved a 1 for 25 reverse stock
split. The number of authorized shares of common stock and par value were
unchanged. All common stock amounts have been adjusted to reflect this change
for all periods presented.
In May 2003, the Company's shareholders approved an increase in the number of
authorized shares of common stock from 100 million shares to 250 million shares.
In January 2004, the authorized shares of common stock were increased to 500
million shares.
NOTE E - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company uses the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock based
compensation. Under this method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the
quoted market price over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock at
the date of the grant. The Company generally grants options with an exercise
price equal to the market value of the common stock at the date of grant.
The Black-Scholes option price model was used to estimate the fair value as of
the date of grant using the following assumptions:
Dividend yield 0%
Risk-free interest rates 4.35%
Volatility 163.00%
Expected option term (years) 9.61
Weighted-average fair value of options granted during
the year $1.50
F-8
If the Company had determined compensation expense for the Plan based on the
fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123 and
SFAS No. 148, the Company's pro-forma net loss and basic loss per share would
have been as follows:

============== ==============
NOTE F - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Included in accrued expenses are amounts owed an executive officer and director
of $78,964 and $136,571 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively,
for back salary and reimbursable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.
NOTE G - INVENTORY
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (specific identification basis) or
market, and consist of electronic components.
NOTE H - CONTINGENCIES
A shareholder of the Company borrowed some of the funds advanced to the Company
(with funds going to Tiger Telematics, Ltd. (Tiger Ltd), a former subsidiary of
the Company) from a private investment bank, London International Mercantile
Bank (LIM), based in London. The shareholder failed to repay the note when due
and LIM made demand on Tiger Ltd to repay the funds. The Company maintained that
it was not responsible for that obligation and responded to the demand
accordingly. Tiger Ltd entered into a settlement agreement the Court approved as
a Tomblin Order where the demand note payable to the shareholder was forgiven in
exchange for the Company entering into an installment note for approximately
$475,000, to be paid over time directly to LIM. The shareholder remained
contingently obligated for the sum owed plus interest in event that the payment
was not made timely by Tiger Ltd. The Company issued a limited guaranty for the
obligation to LIM.
The settlement agreement called for monthly payments at a variable interest
rate. Tiger Ltd repaid approximately $80,000 prior to the sale of the business
on December 17, 2002. Following the sale of Tiger Ltd, the Company was apprised
that Tiger Ltd was placed in liquidation insolvency under the laws of the United
Kingdom for failure to make the payments required under this arrangement.
F-9
LIM made demand on the Company for approximately $450,000 under the guarantee
but has made no attempt to collect on the guaranty as it pursues its direct
remedies against the original borrower of the funds. LIM also holds 140,000
shares of the Company's common stock and certain real estate provided by the
original borrower as collateral. The Company has reserved an amount that it
believes will cover any obligation that may arise.
On April 26, 2002, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement with Christian and
Timbers UK Ltd (C&T) for office premises for its subsidiary for a term of five
years. The Company paid the first year's rent by issuing 20,000 shares of common
stock. The subsidiary subsequently defaulted on the lease arrangement. In the
summer of 2003, C&T sued the Company pursuant to the Company's guarantee. In
October 2003, the Company entered into a judgment stipulation for $300,000 to
settle all obligations under the guarantee. The Company has issued shares of
common stock to C&T that it believes will satisfy the amount of the outstanding
judgment.
In March 2004, Jordan Grand Prix Limited, filed suit against the Company in the
High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division (Central Office), London, UK,
alleging violation of a sponsorship agreement and dated letter agreement entered
into in July 2003. Jordan sued the Company for $30 million and alleged that the
Company defaulted on a payment of $500,000, due on January 1, 2004, under the
sponsorship agreement, and a payment for $250,000, due on the same date under
the letter agreement. On February 26, 2004, Jordan terminated both agreements.
In order to avoid summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff, the Company
escrowed with the court 70,000 shares of its common stock and prior to trial is
required to substitute $1.5 million for the escrowed shares. Trial is set for
May 2005. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation,
it believes that it has good and meritorious defenses to the suit and intends to
defend vigorously the claims made against it.
In January 2005, the Company filed a lawsuit against a former investment advisor
of the Company, based on a breach of the agreement between the advisor and the
Company. As payment for investment advisory services, the Company originally
issued 40,000 (1,000,000 pre reverse split) shares of common stock in 2002 and
2003. The advisor subsequently alleged in December 2004 that the Company owed
him an additional 960,000 shares of common stock to maintain his ownership in
the Company at 1,000,000 shares. The Company is seeking a declaratory judgment
from the court that it is not required to issue additional shares to the
advisor, as well as damages, fees and costs as a result of the advisor's breach
including the return of the previously issued shares. The advisor has filed
counterclaims for the additional shares, damages, fees and costs. In April 2005,
the Company and the advisor agreed to settle all claims, with the Company
issuing an additional 60,000 shares of common stock to the advisor.
In October 2004, Gizmondo Europe Ltd. (Gizmondo), a subsidiary of the Company
signed a contract with SCi Entertainment Group Plc (SCi), a games publisher,
under which Gizmondo has licensed the right to develop and publish twelve SCi
products for the Gizmondo platform. The agreement covers both currently released
titles as well as those in the pipeline, and establishes the structure for
continuing collaboration between the two companies.
F-10
The agreement has Gizmondo paying a minimum guarantee of approximately
$1,250,000 allocated by and among 12 products. The guarantee, which has been
paid, is non-refundable but fully recoverable against earned royalties of each
product. An earned royalty of 50% of net receipts is to be paid on each product.
On March 22, 2005, the Board of Regents of the University of Texas System filed
an action against the Company and one of its subsidiaries, Gizmondo Europe, Ltd.
in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin
Division, alleging that predictive text software used in the Company's Gizmondo
gaming device infringes a patent held by the Board of Regents. The Company
believes that its software does not infringe the Board of Regents' patent. The
Company licenses this software from another company, which under the license
agreement, has indemnified the Company for infringement claims. The Company and
its licensor intend to vigorously defend the infringement claims against the
Company and Gizmondo Europe, Ltd.
NOTE I - WARRANTS
No warrants were outstanding at March 31, 2004.
NOTE J - RESTATEMENT OF 2003 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 has been restated by $49,661
from $(579,105) to $(529,444) to reflect the effect of audit adjustments made
during the 2002 audit that was completed subsequent to the date these financial
statements were originally issued and the effect of reclassifying foreign
currency exchange losses from operations to Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Loss.
NOTE K - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

General Overview
During 2001 and the first half of 2002, the Company's principal business was the
retail sale of flooring products, including carpet, area rugs, wood and
laminates, at discount prices, to commercial and retail customers. The Company
announced the discontinuation of the flooring business on June 6, 2002, and sold
the related assets on August 9, 2002.
In February 2002, the Company acquired Eagle Eye Scandinavian Distributions,
Ltd., a developer and distributor of telematics products and services to the
business-to-business segment in Europe and changed its name to Tiger Telematics,
Ltd. During 2002, the Company's principal business, selling telematics products
and services, was conducted through Tiger Telematics, Ltd., which was sold on
December 17, 2002.
The Company started Tiger Telematics Europe, Ltd. (now known as Gizmondo Europe,
Ltd.) in late 2002 to focus on developing new telematics products including next
generation fleet telematics products and to focus on marketing principally in
the UK.
Since early 2003, the Company has been developing a new multi-entertainment
wireless handheld gaming device that is now referred to as Gizmondo. The Company
initially launched a limited production version of the Gizmondo in the UK on
October 29, 2004, and expects to launch the full scale production of Gizmondo in
2005. The Gizmondo is powered by a Microsoft Windows CE.net platform, has a
2.8-inch TFT color screen and a Samsung ARM9 400Mhz processor and incorporates
the GoForce 3D 4500 NVIDIA graphics accelerator. Gizmondo provides cutting-edge
gaming, multimedia messaging, an MP3 music player, Mpeg4 movie playing
capability, a digital camera and a GPRS network link to allow wide-area network
gaming. Additionally, Gizmondo contains a GPS chip for location based services,
is equipped with Bluetooth for use in multi-player gaming and accepts MMC card
accessories.
Three months-ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31,
2003
Below is a summary of the results of the Company for the three months ended
March 31, 2004.
Net Sales: The Company's net sales were $0 in the first three months of 2004
compared to virtually zero in 2003 although the Company was closer to the
release of its Gizmondo device then it was in 2003. In both comparable quarters
the Company has focused its full attention to the development of the Gizmondo
device and was not actively selling its GPS Telematics products in either
period.
F-13
Gross Profits: Gross profits were $0 for the first three months of 2004 compared
to $(2,238) or virtually zero for the for the first three months of 2003. The
Company expended funds in the first three months of each period on the Gizmondo
development.
Selling Expenses: Selling and marketing expenses for the first three months of
2004 were $839,565 compared with $40,102 for the same time period in 2003. Most
of the increase can be attributed to moving towards preliminary marketing and
market research related to the Gizmondo product. Testing of the market size and
potential market and buyer profile for the Gizmondo was a focus of expenditures
during the 2004 time period.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the
first three months of 2004 were $4,890,268 compared to $455,488 or up
approximately over $4,400,000. This increase came primarily from expenses the
research and development costs associated with the Gizmondo. The Company
incurred $2,599,539 in development costs directly attributable to the Gizmondo.
All of these costs are expensed as incurred and are not capitalized for
financial reporting purposes. In addition salaries rose to $750,046 as the
Company increased staff during the product development phase. The Company also
incurred $883,298 of legal accounting and consulting costs in the first quarter
of 2004 as consultants were engaged to assist the Company in activities related
to the development and launch of the Gizmondo. The Company anticipates a
significant increase in its general and administrative expenses in future
quarterly periods as part of its product development strategy.
Other Expenses: Other expenses for the first three months of 2004 were $(38,292)
as compared to $(31,616) for the first three months of 2003. Other expenses
consisted of interest expense of $38,292 on loans in 2004 as compared to $10,760
and currency translation adjustments of $20,856. Interest in 2004 was higher
than the same period in 2003 as the European Gizmondo operations had higher
purchase costs.
Net Loss: The Company reported an operating loss of $5,768,125 in the first
quarter of 2004 compared to $529,444 for the same time period in 2003. The
aforementioned costs associated with the development of Gizmondo account for
this material increase in operating loss. Management does anticipate that its
losses in future quarters will grow materially as it expenses development cost
for its new gaming device Gizmondo.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or
capital resources that are material to investors.
In 2002, 2003 and early 2004, the Company funded its operating losses and
start-up costs principally with loans from stockholders or other parties and
through the issuance of shares of common stock. Without such equity funding the
Company would not have been able to sustain operations. In the three months
ended March 31, 2004, the Company's working capital position deteriorated. This
F-14
was primarily the result of an increase in current assets, consisting of an
increase in other receivables of $595,485, and advances to employees of
$1,151,359. In addition, there was an increase in current liabilities consisting
of an increase in accounts payable of $1,292,815, accrued expenses of $944,966
and deposits on common stock of $2,108,138. The Company raised $5,031,171 in the
first quarter of 2004 from the issuance of common stock and additional deposits
on common stock.
The Company does not have any bank loans or lending facilities. The Company has
obtained loans from stockholders and raised additional financing through private
placements of shares of common stock principally from accredited foreign
investors. See also Note C to the financial statements - Equity Transactions.
The Company continued to issue shares of its common stock in 2004 and in early
2005 to retire certain obligations due for payment.
The Company incurred losses in 2002 and in 2003 of $11,087,747 and $7,812,449
respectively. The Company recorded a loss in first quarter of 2004 of
$5,768,125. In 2004 the losses where generated primarily from the costs of
developing the Gizmondo. Since the Company was not able to generate positive net
cash flows from operations, additional capital was needed. This capital has been
provided by certain principal stockholders, who have funded the Company through
loans as needed, and primarily from the sale of common stock and warrants
through private placement and other share subscription agreement transactions as
detailed in Note C of the financial statements - Equity Transactions.
The Company successfully raised funds to maintain operations, fund acquisitions
and to retire obligations and obtain services. During the remainder of 2004 and
the first quarter of 2005, the Company raised over $50 million. This funding has
allowed the Company to maintain its business and to continue the development and
launch of its Gizmondo product line.
The Company will seek to raise additional equity capital and obtain trade or
bank financing as needed to fund the development and the launch of the Gizmondo
product in different regions as needed. However, there can be no assurance this
additional capital or other financing will be available, or if available on
terms reasonably acceptable to the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical
experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although
these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and
actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may be
different from the estimates. Our critical accounting policies are those that
affect our financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or
complex judgments by management. Those policies are stock-based compensation,
income taxes, goodwill impairment and revenue recognition.
F-15
Stock-Based Compensation
- ------------------------
We have chosen to account for stock options granted to employees and directors
under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 instead of the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148,
"Accounting for Stock-based Compensation Transition and Disclosure."
In addition, the Company has routinely exchanged shares of its common stock for
services and in satisfaction of debt owed by the Company to shareholders. Common
stock exchanged for services from unrelated parties and suppliers is valued at
the negotiated values for such common stock. Common stock exchanged for
shareholder debt is valued at recent market values for common stock sold to
unrelated investors. The difference between this "market value" and the amount
of the debt satisfied is charged to operations.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The calculation of the Company's income tax provision and related valuation
allowance is complex and requires the use of estimates and judgments in its
determination. As part of the Company's evaluation and implementation of
business strategies, consideration is given to the regulations and tax laws that
apply to the specific facts and circumstances for any transaction under
evaluation. This analysis includes the amount and timing of the realization of
income tax liabilities or benefits. Management closely monitors tax developments
in order to evaluate the effect they may have on the Company's overall tax
position.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
- --------------------------------------------------
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value
of the net assets acquired. The Company tests goodwill and other intangible
assets on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances
indicate that there may have been impairment. The goodwill impairment test
estimates the fair value of each reporting unit, through the use of a discounted
cash flows model, and compares this fair value to the reporting unit's carrying
value. The goodwill impairment test requires management to make judgments in
determining the assumptions used in the calculations. Management believes
goodwill is not impaired and is properly recorded in the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
The Company enters into agreements to sell products (hardware or software),
services, and other arrangements that include combinations of products and
services. Revenue from product sales, net of trade discounts and allowances, is
recognized provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk
of loss have transferred to the customer. Revenue is reduced for estimated
product returns and distributor price protection, when appropriate. For sales
that include customer-specified acceptance criteria, revenue is recognized after
the acceptance criteria have been met. For products that include installation,
if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element,
product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and recognition of installation
revenue occurs when the installation is complete. Otherwise, neither the product
nor the installation revenue is recognized until the installation is complete.
Revenue from services is deferred and recognized over the contractual period or
as services are rendered and accepted by the customer. When arrangements include
F-16
multiple elements, we use objective evidence of fair value to allocate revenue
to the elements and recognize revenue when the criteria for revenue recognition
have been met for each element. The amount of product revenue recognized is
affected by our judgments as to whether an arrangement includes multiple
elements and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value
exists for those elements. Changes to the elements in an arrangement and the
ability to establish vendor-specific objective evidence for those elements could
affect the timing of the revenue recognition. Most of these conditions are
subjective and actual results could vary from the estimated outcome, requiring
future adjustments to revenue.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In March 2004, Jordan Grand Prix Limited, filed suit against the Company in the
High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division (Central Office), London, UK,
alleging violation of a sponsorship agreement and dated letter agreement entered
into in July 2003. Jordan sued the Company for $30 million and alleged that the
Company defaulted on a payment of $500,000, due on January 1, 2004, under the
sponsorship agreement, and a payment for $250,000, due on the same date under
the letter agreement. On February 26, 2004, Jordan terminated both agreements.
In order to avoid summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff, the Company
escrowed with the court 70,000 shares of its common stock and prior to trial is
required to substitute $1.5 million for the escrowed shares. Trial is set for
May 2005. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation,
it believes that it has good and meritorious defenses to the suit and intends to
defend vigorously the claims made against it.
In January 2005, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court in and for the
County of Duval, Florida against D. Weckstein and Company and Donald E.
Weckstein, a former investment advisor to the Company, for breach of the
Company's agreement with the advisor. As payment for investment advisory
services to be rendered under the five year agreement, the Company originally
issued 40,000 (1,000,000 pre reverse split) shares of common stock in 2002. The
advisor subsequently alleged in December 2004 that as a result of the Company's
stock split in July 2004, the Company owed him an additional 960,000 shares of
common stock to maintain his ownership in the Company at 1,000,000 shares. The
Company is seeking a declaratory judgment from the Court that it is not required
to issue any additional shares to the advisor, as well as damages, fees and
costs as a result of the advisor's breach, including the return of the
previously issued shares. The advisor has filed counterclaims for the additional
shares, damages, fees and costs. In April 2005, the Company and the advisor
agreed to settle all claims, with the Company issuing an additional 60,000
shares of common stock to the advisor.
On March 22, 2005, the Board of Regents of the University of Texas System filed
an action against the Company and one of its subsidiaries, Gizmondo Europe, Ltd.
in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin
Division, alleging that predictive text software used in the Company's Gizmondo
gaming device infringes a patent held by the Board of Regents. The Company
believes that its software does not infringe the Board of Regents' patent. The
F-17
Company licenses this software from another company, which under the license
agreement has indemnified the Company for infringement claims. The Company and
its licensor intend to vigorously defend the infringement claims against the
Company and Gizmondo Europe, Ltd.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the first quarter of 2004, the Company sold 2,296,972 shares of
restricted common stock for an aggregate sum of $2,923,033. The shares were sold
primarily for $.50 to $1.50 per share. Included in that amount, in an isolated
case the Company sold 36,000 shares of restricted common stock for $3.50 per
share.
The Company negotiated the purchase price for the sale of restricted common
stock, based upon the market price of the securities at the time of the
negotiation and with an appropriate discount for the restrictions on resale. The
restricted common stock was issued to sophisticated, accredited foreign
investors or foreign corporations in transactions exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each
investor had access to financial information available in public markets and was
given the opportunity to review the Company's books, records and other
information that they requested.
