Page 3 DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------------------ (A) - Unaudited Interim Financial Information The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and accompanying notes included herein, have been prepared by Defense Technology Systems, Inc., (the "Company"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair statement of the results of the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company's latest annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004. The Company has restated the results for the three-months ended September 30, 2003 as a result of a gain attributable to the write-off of debt. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (B) - Nature of Business The Company was incorporated in Delaware on January 7, 1998 as DataWorld Solutions, Inc. and commenced operations on March 7, 1998. The Company became publicly traded as a result of a reverse merger with Vertex Computer Cable & Products, Inc. ("Vertex") in December 1998. Previously in January 1998, Vertex secured certain financing that made effective Vertex's second amended plan of organization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Act. In June 2004, the Company changed its name to Defense Technology Systems. The Company consists of two operating divisions: DWS Manufacturing is a specialty assembler of electronic cable assemblies used in data systems and is also a distributor of cabling systems, components and cable management solutions; DWS Defense Systems is a distributor, installer and integrator of specialized security products. Both divisions operate in one business segment as contemplated by generally accepted accounting principles. Page 4 (C) - Revenue Recognition The Company records sales on its long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontractor costs. General and administrative expenses are accounted for as period charges and, therefore, are not included in the calculation of the estimates to complete. Anticipated losses are provided for in their entirety without reference to the percentage-of-completion. Revenue from data and security product sales is recognized when the product is shipped. Revenue from installation contracts is recognized under the percentage of completion method. (D) - Net Income (Loss) Per Basic and Diluted Common Share Net income (loss) per basic and diluted common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares outstanding during the period. Only the weighted average number of shares of common stock actually outstanding is used to compute basic income (loss) per common share. For the diluted amounts, the effect of outstanding options and warrants and convertible stock and debt instruments is not considered during loss periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The effect of outstanding options and warrants is considered during periods when net income is earned when their exercise price is below the average market price of the common stock during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, options and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 and 160,000 shares of common stock, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share for these reasons. (See Note 9). For the three months ended September 30, 2004, outstanding convertible preferred stock and debt enter into the calculation of net income per share on a limited basis due to two limitations as follows: (i) the convertible stock agreement limits the preferred shareholder's common stock holdings to 9.9 percent of the total outstanding common shares; and (ii) the Company's current common stock authorization is limited to 40 million shares. As a practical matter, the amount of common shares issuable under outstanding convertible instruments is so large, the applicable limitation is the 40 million share authorization. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, assuming maximum dilution to 40 million shares, earnings per share would be unchanged at $0.01. Loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was restated due to the inclusion of a $165,998 gain attributable to the write-off of certain statutorily barred liabilities. (See Note 1-H). Additionally, the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock for such period was corrected for the reduction of 1.2 million shares as disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004. Such correction had no effect on the per share results. Page 5 (E) - Income Taxes The Company records its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. (F) - Property and Equipment Property and equipment at September 30, 2004, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the useful life of the improvement, or the lease term, whichever is less. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in operations. (G) Amortization of Patent During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company acquired a patent from GEORAL International, Ltd. (US Patent No. 6,472,984) for the GIL 2001 Security Doors. The patent was valued at $413,250 which represents the value of the common stock given in consideration of the purchase as well as $20,250 of related professional fees incurred in the transaction. The patent expires on January 30, 2021; the Company is amortizing the value of the patent over the remaining 16 1/2 years of its useful life in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 142. (See Note 3). (H) - Write-Off of Statutorily Barred Liabilities In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company was advised by its counsel that pursuant to applicable law, certain of its trade obligations are statutorily unenforceable after periods of four or six years, as applicable, from the date of their incurrence. Accordingly the Company has written off $78,488 of accounts payable which amount is included in gain on settlement and write-off of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Additionally, the Company has restated the results for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to reflect $165,998 of write-offs applicable to that period. (I) - Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS Nos. 123 and 148. These pronouncements allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of all stock options or, as the Company has elected with respect to options granted to employees and directors, to continue to follow the intrinsic value method previously set forth in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of those options been expensed. Such pro forma disclosures are not applicable for the periods presented herein since there are no employee stock options outstanding nor have any options been granted, vested, exercised, or cancelled during such periods. (See Note 9). Page 6 (J)- Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company has estimated the fair value for financial instruments using available market information and other valuation methodologies in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." Management of the Company believes that the fair value of financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, long-term debt and subordinated debentures approximate carrying value for assets and is undeterminable for liabilities. (K) - Recent Accounting Pronouncements FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," was issued in January 2003, and a revised interpretation of FIN 46 (FIN 46-R) was issued in December 2003. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The provisions of FIN 46 were effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003, and application of FIN 46 was required through the end of the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46-R for those arrangements in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. For arrangements entered into prior to February 1, 2003, the Company was required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46-R in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Adoption of both of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Note 2: Going Concern ------------- The Company has current assets of $460,925 (including $1,846 in cash) compared with current liabilities of $4,612,028, resulting in a working capital deficit of $4,151,103 as of September 30, 2004. Although the Company had net income of $241,074 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, the income was entirely attributable to debt settlements and write-offs. Additionally, the Company has incurred significant net losses in each of the three preceding fiscal years and has a stockholder's equity deficit of $4,083,890 at September 30, 2004. Such deficits and recurring losses raise questions about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the Company's continuation is also threatened by the existence of numerous judgments on trade payables, defaults on various secured indebtedness and delinquencies on certain tax obligations. These conditions could result in the seizure of Company assets and/or its being forced into bankruptcy. (See Note 8). Page 7 The Company is currently implementing a business plan that it believes will strengthen the balance sheet, increase revenue and return it to profitability. The plan involves a series of initiatives. The Company is seeking to restructure its liabilities by negotiating with secured and unsecured creditors and vendors for forgiveness of certain outstanding debt, or to exchange debt for equity. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company settled a total of $436,948 in exchange for a series of cash payments totaling $57,000 resulting in a gain of $379,948. The Company continues to seek settlements of outstanding debt. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company was advised by its counsel that pursuant to applicable law, certain of its trade obligations are statutorily unenforceable after periods of four or six years, as applicable, from the date of their incurrence. Accordingly the Company has written off $78,488 of accounts payable which amount is included in gain on settlement and write-off of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Additionally, the Company has restated its results for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to reflect a gain of $165,998 attributable to the write-off of debt. If management is not successful in implementing the initiatives discussed in the preceding paragraphs, it could result in the severe curtailment of the Company's operations and/or the seizure of its assets and/or its being forced into bankruptcy. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Note 3: Acquisition of Patent --------------------- In July, 2004, the Company acquired a patent from GEORAL International, Ltd. (US Patent No. 6,472,984) for the GIL 2001 Security Doors. The patent was valued at $413,250 which represents the value of the common stock given in consideration of the purchase plus the professional fees incurred in the transaction. The patent expires on January 30, 2021. The acquisition agreement includes an option for the seller to re-purchase the patent on the fifth anniversary of the agreement at a cost equal to the value of common stock received in consideration of the purchase ($393,000) or by returning to the Company one million shares of common stock. Note 4: Notes Payable - Related Parties ------------------------------- Notes payable-related parties, as of September, 2004, consists of the following: Current Long-Term Total Augustine-revolving credit line $400,000 $ - $400,000 Augustine-note payable - 93,150 93,150 Rosenthal & Rosenthal 56,546 193,454 250,000 Shareholder loan 50,025 - 50,025 -------- -------- -------- $506,571 $286,604 $793,175 ======== ======== ======== Page 8 For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company's borrowings from Augustine Capital Management ("Augustine") required the recognition of approximately $108,000 of additional interest expense related to the lender's right to convert the outstanding balance of their note payable into shares of common stock at a 25% discount from market. In July 2004, the Company borrowed $300,000 under the terms of this convertible note facility, and in September 2004 borrowed an additional $25,000, bringing the total amount outstanding under this facility to $400,000 as of September 30, 2004. Total outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit line are limited to $500,000. Any future borrowings under this agreement will result in the recognition of additional interest expense related to this beneficial conversion feature. The balance of the unamortized discount on the Augustine-note payable was $7,650 as of September 30, 2004. Note 5: Other Related Party Transactions -------------------------------- As of September 30, 2004, approximately $232,000 of accrued compensation due the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer was included in accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Note 6: Income Taxes ------------ No income taxes were provided since the Company has loss carry-forwards. As of September 30, 2004, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $18,200,000, expiring at various dates through fiscal 2023. The Company estimates an effective tax rate of zero for fiscal 2005 based on utilization of its net operating loss carry-forwards. Note 7: Capital Stock Transactions -------------------------- In July 2004, pursuant to the terms of the Patent Acquisition Agreement, the Company issued one million shares of common stock to GEORAL International, Ltd. for the purchase of a patent. The shares were valued at $393,000 or $0.393 per share, the weighted-average closing market price of the stock for the two days before and after the date of this transaction. (See Note 3). In July 2004, as per the terms of the 8% Convertible Preferred Stock agreement, Augustine converted 200 shares of preferred stock with a stated value of $200,000 plus accrued dividends of $8,153 into 1,200,883 shares of common stock based on a conversion price of $0.173 per share. Additionally, in September 2004, Augustine, converted 38 shares of preferred stock with a stated value of $38,000 plus accrued dividends of $2,199, into 788,216 shares of common stock based on a conversion price of $0.051 per share.

Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- (A) Litigation matters The Company is a party to legal matters arising in the general course of business. During fiscal 2001 and subsequently, the Company decided not to dispute litigation with suppliers and other creditors for collection of amounts owed to them. As a result, as of September 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding judgments amounting to $527,051. This balance is included in accounts payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. In September 2000, the Company began to negotiate a potential merger with American Access Technologies ("AAT"), which resulted in a merger agreement being signed in April 2001. In June 2001, the Company was notified by AAT that they were unilaterally terminating the agreement claiming that the Company had suffered material and adverse changes and that such change entitled AAT to terminate the agreement. AAT then filed suit against the Company seeking reimbursement of various incurred costs. The Company has filed a counter suit against AAT alleging wrongful termination. The matter is currently set for trial in December, 2004. The ultimate outcome of this matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. (B) Default on debt obligations The Company is currently in default on payments owed on its bankruptcy distributions payable. This could result in the Company's creditors requesting that the Company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings be re-opened. The Company is presently accruing interest on this obligation at a rate of 8 percent annually. Page 10 Additionally, the Company has not made payments on its Secured Subordinated Debentures since January, 2001, and may be declared in default. This obligation is secured by all of the Company's assets, but is subordinate to all current and future loan facilities. The Company is presently accruing interest on this obligation at a rate of 8 percent annually. (C) Sales and payroll tax delinquencies As of August 2001, the Company failed to remit sales taxes that it collected from customers in four states. As of September, 2004, approximately $326,000 was due these states (inclusive of estimated penalties and interest). The Company is presently negotiating a settlement of its approximately $268,000 liability with the State of New York. Should negotiations not be successful, the Company could be forced by the State of New York to cease operations. As part of the negotiations, the Company is continuing to make $5,000 monthly good faith payments toward this obligation. As of March 2002, the Company failed to remit federal payroll taxes that it had collected. In March 2004, the Company settled its federal payroll tax liability which resulted in a forbearance installment plan whereby the Company is obligated to make monthly payments of $3,000 plus a final payment of accrued interest in full settlement of this liability. As of September 2004, approximately $42,000 remained outstanding, which due to the nature of the obligation is classified as a current liability. (D) Sales and purchase concentrations For the three months ended September 30, 2004, two customers accounted for 66 percent and 12 percent of sales, respectively, and two vendors accounted for 77 percent and 21 percent of purchases, respectively. Loss of either the major customer or supplier would have a significant negative effect on the Company's business. Note 9: Subsequent Events ----------------- On October 20, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company granted the Company's CEO and CFO options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock each at an exercise price equal to 125 percent of the weighted-average closing price of the stock for the four weeks following the grant date. The options vest six months from the grant date and expire five years from the date of the grant. As the exercise price of the options could not be determined as of the date of this report, the fair value of the options utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model could not be determined. Under APB No. 25 the option grants have no intrinsic value. Page 11 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis covers material changes in the financial condition of Defense Technology Systems, Inc., (the "Company") since June 30, 2004 and material changes in the Company's results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003. The Company has restated the results for the three-months ended September 30, 2003 as a result of a gain attributable to the write-off of debt. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004, including audited financial statements contained therein, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Special note regarding forward-looking statements ------------------------------------------------- This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements plan for or anticipate the future. Forward-looking statements include statements about the Company's future business plans and strategies, statements about its need for working capital, future revenues, results of operations and most other statements that are not historical in nature. In this Report, forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words "intend", "plan", "believe", "expect", "estimate", and the like. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable securities statutes or regulations, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, these are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2004, vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 Sales revenue increased approximately 240 percent, to $494,177 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $145,483 for the comparative period in the prior year due to a combination of increased sales in the Company's Data division as well as a $326,078 sales order received by the DWS Defense subsidiary. As this subsidiary was formed in October 2003, there were no sales attributable to DWS Defense during the three months ended September 30, 2003. The large sales order referred to above constituted 66 percent of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2004, and such sale represented the first significant business related to a new distributorship agreement with the Company's major supplier. The Company anticipates additional sales as a result of this distributorship agreement but cannot predict the amount and/or timing of such future sales. (See Note 8-D to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Page 12 Costs of revenue increased approximately 376 percent, to $403,149 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $84,714 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as a result of increased revenue during the three month period ended September 30, 2004. Gross profit increased approximately 49.8 percent, to $91,028 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $60,769 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The gross profit attributable to the Company's data and security divisions were $59,387 and $31,641, respectively. Gross profit margin decreased to 18.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to 41.8 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The gross profit margin of Company's data and security divisions were 37.2 percent and 9.5 percent respectively. The overall decrease was due to the significant increase in distribution of security products which are at a lower margin than the Company's data cable assembly business. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 28.2 percent, to $163,691 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $127,644 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The increase is primarily related to substantially higher professional fees resulting from the completion of the Company's fiscal 2004 audit, offset in part by a reduction in officers' salaries related to revisions in their compensation structure as follows: (i) the CEO is being compensated on a commission-only basis, which reduced his compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2004, by approximately $8,000; and (ii) the CFO agreed to reduce his annual salary resulting in annual savings of $30,000. In consideration of the aforementioned revision to the compensation structure of the Company's officers, in October 2004 the Board of Directors granted each officer 500,000 options to purchase shares of common stock. (See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Interest expense increased 6.3 percent, to $143,356 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $134,911 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This was primarily related to interest expense incurred as a result of the beneficial conversion feature of the Augustine revolving credit facility. (See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 related to the acquisition of a patent was $6,261 versus zero for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The patent was acquired in July, 2004. (See Note 1-G to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Gain on settlement and write-off of debt increased $292,438, or 176 percent, to $458,436 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $165,998 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The increase was attributable to a $379,948 gain on the settlement of outstanding debt due one vendor, offset by a decrease in the write-off of statutorily-barred liabilities of $87,510. The Company earned net income of $241,074 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to net income of $19,372 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, entirely due to debt settlements and write-offs. Page 13 The net income applicable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $213,474, compared to a loss of $12,732 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Dividends accrued on convertible preferred stock were $27,600 and $32,104 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.01 and nil for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The effect of outstanding options and warrants on earnings per share is considered during periods when net income is earned when their exercise price is below the average market price of the common stock during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, options and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 and 160,000 shares of common stock, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share for this reason. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2004, outstanding convertible preferred stock and debt enter into the calculation of net income per share on a limited basis due to two limitations as follows: (i) the convertible stock agreement limits the preferred shareholder's common stock holdings to 9.9 percent of the total outstanding common shares; and (ii) the Company's current common stock authorization is limited to 40 million shares. As a practical matter, the amount of common shares issuable under outstanding convertible instruments is so large, the applicable limitation is the 40 million share authorization. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, assuming maximum dilution to 40 million shares, earnings per share are unchanged at $0.01. Significant Accounting Estimate In July, 2004, the Company acquired a patent from GEORAL International, Ltd. (US Patent No. 6,472,984) for the GIL 2001 Security Doors. (See Note 3). The patent was valued at $413,250 which represents the value of the common stock given in consideration of the purchase as well as the cost of professional fees incurred in the transaction. The patent expires on January 30, 2021. The Company has identified the accounting for this patent as a significant accounting estimate which, due to the existence of an option for the seller to reacquire the patent at an amount subject to future determination, may become more significant as the option date approaches. The Company cannot presently evaluate the likelihood of the exercise of this option or the amount of consideration it would receive if the option were exercised. As a result of the range of possible accounting and related economic consequences of the potential exercise of this option, the Company will critically evaluate the carrying value of this asset on not less than a semi-annual basis. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has current assets of $460,925 (including $1,846 in cash) compared with current liabilities of $4,612,028, resulting in a working capital deficit of $4,151,103 as of September 30, 2004. Although the Company had net income of $241,074 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, the income was entirely attributable to debt settlements and write-offs. Additionally, the Company has incurred significant net losses in each of the three preceding fiscal years and has a stockholder's equity deficit of $4,083,890 at September 30, 2004. Such deficits and recurring losses raise questions about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Page 14 Additionally, the Company's continuation is also threatened by the existence of numerous judgments on trade payables, defaults on various secured indebtedness and delinquencies on certain tax obligations. These conditions could result in the seizure of Company assets and/or its being forced into bankruptcy. (See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company is currently implementing a business plan that it believes will strengthen the balance sheet, increase revenue and return it to profitability. The plan involves a series of initiatives. The Company is seeking to restructure its liabilities by negotiating with secured and unsecured creditors and vendors for forgiveness of certain outstanding debt, or to exchange debt for equity. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company settled a total of approximately $437,000 in exchange for a series of cash payments totaling $57,000 resulting in a gain of approximately $380,000. The Company continues to seek settlements of outstanding debt. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company was advised by its counsel that pursuant to applicable law, certain of its trade obligations are statutorily unenforceable after periods of four or six years, as applicable, from the date of their incurrence. Accordingly the Company has written off $78,488 of accounts payable which amount is included in gain on settlement and write-off of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Additional amounts will likely be written off in subsequent periods as the applicable statutory periods are exceeded. The Company may also pursue strategic acquisitions that provide it with growth and vertical integration within the security business. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. If the Company is not successful in these initiatives, it may be forced to severely curtail operations or seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. The Company's cash balance at June 30, 2004 decreased $2,074 from $3,920 to $1,846 as of September 30, 2004. The decrease was the result of a combination of cash used for the repayment of stockholder loans totaling $75,000, and operating and investing activities requiring $231,824, and $20,250, respectively, offset by cash proceeds from notes totaling $325,000. Operating activities exclusive of changes in current assets and liabilities required $100,362, offset by an increase in receivables and other current assets of $369,834, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $238,372. The Company's capital resources include private stock sales and loans and advances from principal shareholders. During the three month period ended September 30, 2004, the Company borrowed $325,000 under the terms of its convertible loan agreements with Augustine. The agreements provide for additional borrowings of $100,000, all of which may be converted to common stock at a 25 percent discount to the market price of the stock at the time of conversion, subject to the lender's holdings not exceeding 9.9 percent of the total outstanding shares of common stock. Amounts converted by the lender may be re-borrowed by the Company to the extent that the total outstanding balance under the revolving line of credit cannot exceed $500,000. The Company recognizes that its current capitalization structure does not presently facilitate raising additional equity capital due to the limitation of 40 million authorized shares of common stock and the large number of shares issuable upon conversion of its various convertible instruments. Therefore in order to facilitate raising capital in the future, the Company will likely explore various means of restructuring its capitalization. Page 15 ITEM 3.
