READERS SHOULD PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE CONSIDERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THE SECTION OF THIS ANNUAL REPORT ENTITLED "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS." Readers should also carefully review the risk factors described in this Annual Report and other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Overview The Company is a development stage company engaged in a research and development program to launch the mass-market production of a technology called Fluorescent Memory Technology (also known as Fluorescent Media Disc and Fluorescent Memory Card Technology, 3 FMD and FMC Technology, FMD/C Technology and by other substantially similar names). The Company's research is directed towards developing data storage technology products for commercial applications. C3D began operations as of October 1, 1999 and has no prior operating history other than that associated with the acquisition of certain assets of Constellation 3D Technology Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("Constellation Tech"), which primarily performed research and development of three-dimensional technology for the storage of digital information on disc. However, C3D's subsidiaries were in operation before October 1, 1999, when Constellation 3D Holdings Limited, an Irish company ("Constellation Holdings"), or Constellation Tech owned them. The Company has no revenue history and therefore has not achieved profitability. The Company is an international enterprise headquartered in New York, New York and has operations in the United States, Israel, the Ukraine and Russia. The Company's mission is to develop state-of-the-art technologies and products to serve the growing data storage needs of customers in government, business, education and consumer segments through continuous research and product innovation. By providing new data storage solutions to the Company's customers through joint ventures, strategic alliances, and licensing agreements, the Company intends to have a substantial presence in the removable data storage market. The potential customers for the Company's technology are located worldwide and represent a cross section of industries and government agencies. The Company's technology is innovative and focuses upon the concept of the volumetric storage of information. FMD Technology records data on multiple layers located inside a disk or a card, as opposed to the single or double layer method available in compact discs and DVDs. The recording, reading and storing of the information uses fluorescent materials embedded in pits and grooves in each of the layers. The fluorescent material emits radiation when excited by an external light source. The FMD Technology then decodes the information as modulations of the intensity of the emitted radiation. The Company's research has determined that these fluorescent multilayer disks and cards furnish the user with considerably improved capacity and deliver substantial performance advantages when compared to the CDs and DVDs currently produced. Company History and Structure The Company was incorporated on December 27, 1995 under the name Latin Venture Partners, Inc. The name of Latin Venture Partners, Inc. changed to C3D Inc. on March 24, 1999 in anticipation of a transaction with Constellation Tech. As approved by the necessary number of votes at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on December 27, 1999, the Company changed the Company's name to Constellation 3D, Inc. effective December 29, 1999. From the Company's inception on December 27, 1995 until October 1, 1999, the Company has had no business operations. The Company is a Delaware company, which previously had been incorporated in the State of Florida. Through the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 9, 4 2001 and approved by the stockholders on January 30, 2001, Constellation 3D, Inc., a Florida corporation, reincorporated in Delaware effective February 6, 2001. On October 1, 1999, the Company purchased certain assets of Constellation Tech for total consideration of 29,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock and the assumption of substantially all liabilities and obligations of Constellation Tech (the "Acquisition"). In the Acquisition, the Company acquired the following assets: . Constellation's Tech's then sole existing membership interest in TriDStore IP, L.L.C.; . all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares in Constellation 3D Vostok; . 99 of the 100 allotted shares of C-TriD Israel Ltd.; and . all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TriD SV, Inc. TriDStore IP, L.L.C. is a Delaware limited liability company formed on February 2, 1998, formerly known as OMD Devices, L.L.C. until March 9, 1999. TriDStore IP, L.L.C. owns a substantial majority of the Company's material intellectual property which consists mostly of patent registrations and applications. See "Risk Factors" located elsewhere in this Annual Report. TriD Store Vostok is a Russian company formed on January 15, 1999. The Company conducts its Russian operations through TriD Store Vostok. On October 2, 2000, TriD Store Vostok changed its name to Constellation 3D Vostok. C-TriD Israel Ltd. is an Israeli company formed on December 2, 1996. The Company is now the owner of all outstanding shares of C-TriD Israel Ltd. The Company conducts its Israeli operations through C-TriD Israel Ltd. Memde Ltd. is an Israeli company whose shares are 100% owned by C-TriD Israel Ltd. Memde Ltd. does not currently conduct any operations. TriD SV, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on August 10, 1998. As of January 31, 2001, TriD SV, Inc. has had no operations. On February 8, 2000, the Company formed Constellation 3D Trust LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that the Company wholly owns. The Company then issued 10,500,000 (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand) shares of common stock to Constellation 3D Trust LLC as a capital contribution and later cancelled all but 500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand) of said shares. Constellation 3D Trust LLC may use the 500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand) shares to raise debt or equity capital and contribute the proceeds thereof to the Company, which proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. There is no assurance that the issuance of the shares will result in the raising of any debt or equity capital. On April 7, 2000, the Company formed FMD&E, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation that the Company wholly owns ("FMD&E"). The Company formed FMD&E after the Company 5 decided not to consummate the acquisition of Reflekt Technology, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation. Since April 2000, FMD&E has been designing fluorescent multi-layer production equipment. The Company intends to merge FMD&E into C3D in the second or third quarter of 2001. On January 2, 2001, the Company agreed to acquire certain assets of its former Ukrainian subcontractor, Ladis Ltd., for cash consideration of approximately $30,000. Since that date, C3D has continued to conduct its Ukrainian operations using the equipment and other assets acquired from the former subcontractor. On January 29, 2001, the Company formed Velor Incorporated ("Velor"), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Massachusetts that is 80% owned by the Company. Since incorporation, Velor has had no operations. Velor will engage in the business of researching and developing solid-state memory products. 6 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE CONSTELLATION 3D, INC.

The Company anticipates that this future line of products to be credit-card-sized cards, with data storage capacities of up to 5 GB. The Company anticipates this technology will allow multiple erasing and re- recording of user-specified data. 8 2. Hybrid ROM-R-R/W Discs and Cards The Company believes that the multi-layer structure of the Company's FMD/C media allows the creation of hybrid memory devices, combining the advantages of Read-only, Recordable and Rewritable memory. Distribution and Principal Markets The Company does not plan to engage in direct sales and distribution of FMD/C products by itself. Instead, the Company intends to partner with industry leaders having a substantial sales and distribution capability within targeted market segments, such as the PC Market, the Home Consumer Market, Digital Cinema, and Mobil Computing. The primary exception would be with respect to market segments that become evident as strategically important to the Company's overall success, where the Company intends to become more directly involved in the sales and marketing process. The Company expects to receive revenues primarily through licensing, royalty revenues, and participation in joint ventures for production and marketing, in accordance with its business model. The Company intends to establish royalty rates by agreement with joint venture partners and technology licensees, calculated as a percentage of the licensee's revenue generated -- a per-unit price, or a flat fee. The Company expects to derive royalties from a percentage of the value to the licensee that is attributed to the Company's technology. Early in the product rollout, the Company may partially waive royalties in order to help speed market introduction of the technology. In general, the Company expects to set the price at the optimum level to achieve the highest possible overall revenue return. Based on the market penetration of CD and DVD, the Company believes that sales for 120 mm (CD/DVD-sized) FMD disc will come from 2 primary categories: the PC Market and Home Consumer Market. A description of these market segments and others follows. The PC Market Based upon industry analysts, the Company believes there are over 25 million DVD ROM drives installed in PC's. Based upon its limited experience to date, the Company believes that the market needs storage solutions past the 4.7 GB (or 8.54 GB dual layer) capacity currently offered by DVD-ROM and 4.6 GB currently offered by DVD-R. The PC Market currently uses Compact Disc Read Only Memory (CD-ROM), recordable CDs (CD-R), DVD-ROM and DVD recordable formats. The home and office personal computer market includes software (ROM) and personal storage (CD-R and R/W). Based upon statements made by a media recording association, the Company believes the annual worldwide demand for ROM discs is well over 3 billion units. In the past 2-3 years, due to the increased size of software applications, distribution of software has 9 moved from the floppy disc (holding 1.44 Megabytes (MB)) to the CD (holding 650 MB), and is now starting to move to DVD (holding 4.7 GB). The demand for storage in the PC ROM software market continues to grow as applications such as games and encyclopedias add more multimedia and video features. These changes have spurred the move from CD-ROM storage to DVD-ROM storage, with FMD-ROM as the available format for applications requiring over 4.7 GB of capacity. This trend is mirrored for recordable media. Based upon statements made by a media recording association, the Company believes the annual CD-R disc worldwide demand is 3.7 billion units. CD-R has now in fact become a commodity product, with bulk prices close to $0.30 per disc and just a few firms, such as Ritek Corporation and CMC Magnetics, controlling worldwide supply. The DVD- recordable market is now beginning to increase substantially (despite the format battles between DVD-R/W, DVD-RW+ and DVD-RAM), and is led by the need for greater storage capacity in order to record and/or archive video & audio content. The Company is developing, using current inexpensive red-laser-based FMD media, discs with a capacity of up to 100 GB, giving a 20-fold increase in recordable optical storage capacity. For removable carriers, the Company plans to develop its FMC ClearCardTM in various sizes, ranging from around 500 MB to about 10 GB. The Company believes that these cards will initially service the portable computing market and later the office and home computer desktop market. Home Consumer Market In the home video market, VHS tape is still the predominant format, but the use of DVD in the United States and Europe is now occurring faster than many experts had anticipated. Based upon statements made by a consumer electronics association, the Company believes DVD technology is present in one-third of all U.S. households. Major movies are now being released primarily or even exclusively in the format, and old celluloid classics are being digitally re-mastered for DVD release. The Company anticipates that its discs and cards will provide a suitable solution for the distribution of films and other types of recorded information, portable applications to be used in high-resolution hand-held movie players and in-car and in-plane entertainment systems. . HDTV Based upon statements made by a consumer electronics association, and the Company's limited experience with HDTV technology, the Company believes that one important and growing market for removable storage carriers is high definition television, also called HDTV. This high quality television format has been gradually introduced in the United States, Europe and Asia. Format issues have hampered the speed of introduction, but the Company believes that certain federal laws, including the requirement that all television broadcasts be made digitally by 2006 make it increasingly likely that some form of the HDTV format will be successful. 10 The high pixel rate for HDTV requires relatively large data capacities and transfer speeds to achieve the high quality definition the format allows. Sonic Solutions and Ravisent Technologies Inc. have announced a new format, called HDVD, which they claim has up to four times the resolution of standard DVD-Video titles for the HDTV market. However, some industry experts believe that in order to truly enable the HDTV format, media with over 50 GB memory capacity will be required. The Company believes that it is the only company planning to offer a single carrier solution for HDTV, and that the Company is therefore well positioned to be the predominant storage carrier for HDTV playback. . Personal Digital TV Recorders Based upon statements made by a media recording association, there are more than 800 million VCR's installed in homes world wide. The Company further believes, based upon statements made by a media recording association and its limited experience, that the market transition for VCR to Personal TV recorders and Digital Video recorders presents a tremendous opportunity for removeable optical disc technologies. The Company estimates that the data storage market needs storage solutions with storage capacities greater than 50 GB for both ROM and recordable data storage. Currently, the personal digital TV recorder market uses DVD-R, DVD-RAM and hard disc. TiVo Inc. and Replay Networks Inc. currently supply the market for digital personal television recorders, with units containing hard discs with capacities up to 30 GB. The Company perceives the biggest problem, even with the recording of non-high definition television, to be what to do when the disc is full. With removable FMD-R discs, with expected capacities up to 100 GB, consumers will be able to record many hours of entertainment and keep the recorded discs for subsequent replay as desired. In addition, the Company anticipates the FMC-R ClearCard to offer the same functionality for compressed information. The Company also anticipates both the FMD-R discs and cards in mobile applications such as hand-held players. As these formats reach mass-market acceptance, the Company anticipates that they could require the production of large quantities of FMD discs annually. Digital Cinema Based upon statements made by a national association of theatre owners, the Company believes the digital cinema market consists of approximately 36,000 screens nationwide, and approximately 120,000 worldwide. Based upon the Company's limited experience in the industry and discussions with various industry participants, the Company believes about 75% of non-digital screens will convert to digital within 10 years. The Company believes that this market requires a single disc with more than 100 GB of capacity and more than 50 megabits per second read speed. Currently, the digital cinema market lacks a standard format. 11 Progress in digital technology is on the verge of making fundamental changes in the film industry. Leaders in the industry and electronics firms have been developing a new "electronic cinema" to replace the celluloid movie reel. The Company believes that Digital Cinema technology represents enormous benefits over celluloid reels and projectors in the areas of convenience, unit costs savings, and quality. The Digital Cinema era will offer advantages such as the shorter lead-time in bringing films to market and switching times on changing projectors over from one film to another. The cost of each celluloid reel is about $2,000. The cost savings potential is extremely large when one considers that there are about 5,000 prints shipped domestically and more worldwide on most major films. Delivery costs and time only exacerbate the situation. Based upon statements made by a national association of theater owners, we believe Digital Cinema could save the industry up to $800 million per year. Director George Lucas and Lucasfilm Ltd. are pioneering the transition to Digital Cinema. Lucasfilm Ltd. financed the first digital projectors to be used in theaters. In May of 1999, the much anticipated "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" debuted on Digital Cinema projector. The Company believes some hurdles still need to be overcome in the development of Digital Cinema on a broad scale. These include data storage capacity and read times -- issues which the Company believes that it is well positioned to address. The digital cinema industry is one marketplace that the Company believes will be an early adopter of its technology. Mobile Computing In this growing arena, the Company is targeting: . Wireless Digital Telephone Market; . Personal Digital Assistants; . Electronic books; . GPS systems; . Digital Cameras and Digital Video Cameras The Company believes that personal digital assistants, also called PDAs, and cell phones are on a quick path of convergence. The key participants in the wireless digital telephone market are the service providers such as ATT Corp., Sprint Communications Company, L.P., Verizon, and MCI WorldCom, Inc., and the equipment vendors such as Nokia Corp., Ericsson LM Telephone Co., and Motorola Inc. 12 The Company anticipates third generation (3G) mobile telephone networks as an evolutionary step up from today's second-generation digital mobile systems. The Company also anticipates that 3G media telephones and communicators will have multimedia messaging capabilities which will include still imaging, video calls and video streaming, wireless Internet browsing and speech. The Company anticipates that users will have their own personal, mobile, multi-media communications service. All of these enhanced features will demand greater data storage capacity and performance. This demand, however, must be balanced with mobility. As a result, storage media must be of a compact nature to serve this market. The Company has recognized the value of this 3G technology and the Company intends to capitalize on it, by partnering with the companies that are instrumental in developing 3G technology. . Personal Digital Assistants The Company believes that the PDA market represents a market segment with vast potential for FMD/C technology. The Company expects that as more functionality ranging from multimedia applications to personal communications is built into PDAs, the PDA unit's demand for digital storage will grow substantially. Based upon its limited experience in the industry and statements made by a market research firm, the Company believes the use of smart hand held mobile computing devices will grow substantially. Palm, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of 3Com Corporation, is the leading global provider of hand-held computing devices. Psion PLC, Sony Corporation and Microsoft Corporation, in conjunction with Sharp Electronics Corp., Hewlett Packard Company and others, are other significant participants in this segment. . Memory Used in Mobile Computing The combined market for all hand-held devices requiring data storage is in the hundreds of millions of units. The Mobile Computing Market requires high capacity, small size and low power usage. The most common memory storage carrier in the mobile computing market is flash memory. Currently, flash memory is limited to around 500 MB per unit and can cost about $2,000 per GB. Flash memory is a R/W technology that enables the user to continuously operate the unit without the frequent change of storage media. It is designed specifically to address the storage requirements of emerging applications in the consumer electronics and industrial/communications markets such as digital cameras, personal digital assistants, portable digital music players, digital video recorders and smart phones, communications routers and switches and wireless communications base stations. SanDisk Corporation dominates the flash memory market, and Sony Corporation has now entered it with its Memory Stick product. IBM Corp. introduced its new hard disc based microdrive PCMCIA card in a second mobile computing data storage carrier. 13 Last, DataPlay, Inc. is developing a compact DVD-technology-based optical data carrier for use in hand-held devices. The Company believes that its recordable FMC ClearCard will seriously compete with flash memory, hard disc microdrives and DVD-technology-based carriers. The Company projects that its 5 GB FMC-R will cost significantly less per unit to produce in volume and could thereby retail for lower prices. The Company hopes to obtain a significant portion of these markets. Corporate Data Storage, Internet Streaming, Video On Demand and Video Archiving . Corporate Data Storage As companies store and analyze more data on transactions, customers, and operational and financial parameters, the corporate sector represents a substantial and growing portion of the demand for data storage. Applications such as storage area networks, data warehousing, supercomputing, Internet streaming and data mining are projected to require ever-greater capacity in order to handle the volume of data to be processed. . Internet Streaming and Video on Demand As users of the Internet -- both corporate and individual - move toward high-bandwidth connection (via optical fiber channels, ADSL (Asynchronous Data Subscriber Line) and cable modems), very large amounts of video data will be transferred from server to end-user. The Company believes that at both ends, high capacity data storage carriers will be required. The Company anticipates that the Internet server and corporate recipient markets will use its products. . Video Archiving The market requires terabytes of storage at a cost lower than that of a random array of inexpensive discs (also known as RAID). Major vendors such as Oracle Corporation, IBM Corp., EMC Corp. and SAP AG provide video archiving solutions. Movie studios and broadcast corporations have data archiving capacity requirements of up to several Petabytes (1,000 TB, also known as PB). The Company anticipates that a 100 GB FMD-ROM and FMD-R discs will greatly ease the burden on providers of corporate data storage and video archiving storage facilities, both in terms of cost and size of facility. IBM Corp. and EMC Corp. are the main technology providers in this field with RAID, optical jukeboxes or tape systems. The Company believes that 100 GB FMD-R discs can be produced in volume for significantly lower prices per unit than those other technologies. 14 Intellectual Property Through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary TriDStore IP, L.L.C., as of February 8, 2001, the Company owns the following U.S. patents: .

Moreover, the Company cannot assure that its competitors, many of whom have substantial resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies, do not presently have or will not seek patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with the Company's ability to make, use or sell the Company's products either in the U.S. or in other countries. The Company intends to rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks to protect its intellectual property rights. The Company cannot assure, however, that competitors will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary technology, or that the Company can meaningfully protect its rights in unpatented proprietary technology. Nevertheless, the Company intends to enforce its intellectual property rights whenever the Company becomes aware of any infringement or violation of its rights. The Company's success and ability to compete will depend in part upon its ability to protect its proprietary technology and other intellectual property. The Company has filed numerous patent applications to protect technology, inventions and improvements, which the Company believes are significant to the development of the Company's business and protectable under applicable patent laws. However, the Company may sell its patented products in foreign countries where the Company does not apply for patent protection, or, if the Company does apply, where the applicable regulatory body does not grant a patent. In those countries where the Company does not obtain patents, there is a risk that competitors may be able to reverse engineer the Company's products and undermine the Company's ability to compete in those markets. In addition, there are foreign countries whose intellectual property laws are not enforceable or, if 16 enforceable, are enforceable to a lesser extent than the intellectual property laws of the United States. If the Company markets its patented products in such countries, there is a risk of piracy or reverse engineering by competitors that may undermine the Company's ability to compete. The Company does not believe that it infringes any patents or infringes, dilutes or otherwise violates intellectual property of others. However, the Company cannot assure that current and potential competitors and other third parties have not filed or will not file applications for patents, or that the applicable regulatory body has not issued or will not issue, patents or other proprietary rights relating to devices, apparatus, materials or processes which the Company uses or proposes to use. Competitive Conditions and Methods of Competition The Company's Fluorescent Media Disc and Card Technology will compete with a variety of existing and future data storage technologies. While hard disk drives are the most common form of mass data storage and CDs and DVDs are the most common removable data storage carriers, these are not the only storage media available to consumers. A variety of options exist, each with unique price and performance characteristics to meet specific requirements. Existing Competitive Technologies . Removable Mass Storage Devices The Company believes that the trend of processing sensitive data on desktop PCs instead of on mainframe computers has made removable mass storage solutions increasingly important and that floppy diskettes, which have been the most commonly used removable storage devices, often are insufficient for certain data-intensive applications. For these applications, high capacity removable mass storage devices offer advantages. Removable mass storage devices, which are particularly suitable for secondary storage applications like data backup and archiving, rather than as a primary form of on-line storage, come in many forms, such as tape cartridges, Compact Disc Read Only Memory (CD-ROMs) and recordable CDs (CD-R) and DVDs (DVD-R). . Tape Drives The magnetic tape drive, including floppy discs, was one of the first computer storage technologies, and early mainframe computers commonly used it. However, its inability to randomly access or write data like disk drives makes it much slower than newer data storage technologies. Therefore, new technologies have replaced it as the primary storage device in most computer applications. However, due to its high storage capabilities and low cost-to-megabyte ratio, it is still very much in use as a storage medium for archiving large amounts of data. Additionally, recent advances in tape technology, such as digital audio tape cartridges, have also made tape a preferred technology for backing up network servers and other critical data. 17 . Optical Disc Drives Optical Disc Drives, which include CD drives, DVD drives, and magneto- optical drives, came onto the public scene in the mid 1980s and have gained mainstream acceptance. The Company anticipates that the advent of re-writable optical discs will make the optical disc drive an increasingly important segment of the data storage industry. In ODDs, such as CDs, DVDs, and MOs, light from a semiconductor laser focuses onto the storage layer to perform writing or reading. The disc substrate or a thick overcoat protects the storage layer, making this technology well suited for removable media. CD-ROM drives are by far the most widely used ODDs and are the computer industry's standard for distribution of software products. They are typically used to distribute large databases and documents that require only periodic access. Read/Write drives, on the other hand, are used almost exclusively for archival storage where it is important that the data cannot be changed or erased after being written, as in the case of financial record storage. CD Audio is the primary means of music distribution worldwide, and DVD video is fast becoming the leading distribution method for film and video content. . Magnetic Disk Drives One of the original data storage media, some view magnetic disk drives (commonly known as hard drive/disc) as the most reliable source of storage media. Despite the advent of alternate technologies, magnetic storage remains dominant, particularly where mass storage is concerned. Magnetic disk heads fly on a slider approximately one ten-millionth of a meter over the surface of the storage medium. The writing process creates small magnetic domains, and the read process detects the magnetic fields of these domains. One can overwrite the information indefinitely. . Magneto-Optical Disks Magneto-optical, or MO, disk systems combine the technology of traditional magnetic media, like hard disk drives, with optical disc technology. It is anticipated that there is the possibility that MO technology will allow users to store hundreds of megabytes of data on a disk that looks similar to a traditional 3.5-inch floppy disk and typically comes in a 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch form factor. MO disks have many advantages. They provide relatively high data densities. One can change the data stored on them at will, and such data are resistant to magnetic fields, unlike a traditional floppy or hard disk. The disadvantage of MO technology is that, because of the relatively high intensity of the magnetic field created with the combined use of the read/write head and laser, the two rotations required for writing data make them twice as slow as hard disk drives during write operations. . Personal Computer Cards 18 PC Cards use the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association standard, and can be either storage or Input/Output cards. By virtue of being compact, highly reliable, light-weight and requiring low power, they are storage media for battery-powered notebook and palmtop computers, hand-held personal digital assistants and personal communicator devices. Due to their diminutive size, these "memory cards" make transporting data relatively easy. One can use them for program storage or data interchange between systems. A significant deterrent to the widespread use of PC cards is their high cost relative to hard disk drives. The Company believes that manufacturers can produce the Company's 1 to 10 GB ClearCardsTM at a lower cost than PC Cards of equivalent performance levels enabling the Company's joint ventures and licensees to sell those ClearCards at prices below those comparable PC Cards. . Flash Memory Based upon publication reports, the Company believes flash memory, a rewritable memory based on semi-conductors, will be a $10 billion a year market in 2000. The maximum storage per unit is approximately 500 MB. While flash memory represents an extremely large market, its value per byte is relatively low. The Company believes that its storage products offer much more compelling value per byte than current offerings. Competitive Technologies in Development In addition to the existing storage devices, there are some comparable data storage technologies in the research and development phase, some of which might never be commercially used. . Blue Laser Optical Disc Technology Efforts by Royal Phillips Electronics and Sony Corporation to produce higher storage capacities based on reflective technologies have centered on the introduction of blue lasers. However, the Company believes that blue lasers are not likely to be available to consumers for several years. In addition, the Company projects that FMD Technology will be able to take advantage of the blue laser technology on multiple layers rather than a single layer in case of DVD. . Future Magnetic Hard Disk Drives The achievable area density of magnetic recording has grown about 60% per year during the last decade. Devices with an area density of 4 GB per square inch are in production, and area densities of 20 GB per square inch have been created. However, the magnetic domains become unstable at a physical and technical limit called the super-paramagnetic limit. Therefore, further growth in area density is limited, although it is not certain where this limit puts an end to the further density increase of magnetic memory. Furthermore, many magnetic memory carriers are not easily removable, are not easily disposable and are relatively expensive. 19 . Holographic Storage The introduction of commercial lasers sparked interest in enabling 3 dimensional storage using holographic technology. However, attempts at commercialization so far failed primarily due to lack of suitable storage materials for media manufacturing. . Near Field Drives In near field recording, a device focuses onto the front surface of the storage medium, thereby avoiding some problems with distortions of the focused beam in the protected layer. Near field drives can achieve high density, but at high cost, as the medium remains exposed to dust and remains vulnerable to crashes of the drive head. Thus, the Company believes that this technology is not suitable for portable devices. The storage capacity is limited, because in near field optics, data is stored in a thin layer at the surface. . Atomic Force Microscopy In the field of probe-based storage, scientists are fabricating tiny silicon cantilevers one one-hundred thousandth of a meter long and three ten millionths of a meter thick, with an even smaller silicon probe tip that is eight billionths of a meter in diameter. The tip rests on a rotating plastic disk. To store data, heat from an electric pulse through the tip momentarily softens the surface of the plastic, and the slight force that the tip exerts on the plastic pokes a tiny depression. As the tip is pulled across the tip on playback, there is detection of its dip into the pit. Researchers report that this technique can reliably read and write data at a density of 64 gigabits per square inch and have developed the basics for a read only system holding a CD's worth of data on a disk the size of a penny. . Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Scanning Tunneling Microscopy reportedly has the potential to store as many as one million GB per square inch, although the Company does not expect consumers to see commercial usage of this technique in the foreseeable future. The technique involves moving xenon on a nickel surface with a scanning tunneling microscope. As attempted, this process required a temperature, in Fahrenheit, of nearly 460 degrees below zero and several hours to complete. Key Trends and Major Competitors in the Market The exponential growth of devices using data storage technology - for consumer, business, and entertainment applications -- and their associated storage requirements represent a prime opportunity for the Company's FMD/C Technology. The following is a sample of the trends and rapid growth of the data storage industry as it has impact on more and more aspects of daily life. . In the PC market, memory-hungry consumer applications ranging from computer games to database applications require consumers to upgrade frequently. Eight years 20 ago, many considered an 80 MB hard drive to be excessive -- today a hard drive of that size could not accommodate mainstream operating systems such as MS Windows. . The storage requirements of enterprise computing applications such as data warehousing solutions doubles almost annually. . Hand-held devices, including PDAs and mobile phones, are expected to demand multi-gigabyte capacities in the next few years in order to store rich multimedia content. . The entertainment industry, as it moves to higher resolution standards in applications such as Digital Cinema and HDTV, will require minimum data storage capacities of up to 100 GB per movie -- the Company believes that it is currently the only company that has the capacity in the near future to provide a single disc solution for these entertainment applications. The standard removable memory media in production today is the reflective optical disc. Companies involved in the production of Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD ROM), recordable CDs (CD-R), CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-R and DVD-RW discs include Royal Phillips Electronics, Sony Corporation and Discovision Associates for CD and several industry consortiums for DVD (Royal Phillips Electronics, Sony Corporation, Pioneer Corporation, Hitachi, Ltd., Matsushita Electronics Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric, Time Warner Inc., Toshiba Corporation, and Thomson Corporation). Based upon statements of industry analysts and the Company's limited experience, the Company believes these firms license the basic technology behind the format and the production of discs and in total generate approximately $0.15 per disc manufactured and approximately 3%-4% of the sale price for each drive. Over 500 firms worldwide manufacture optical discs with the majority of discs being produced by larger firms that also own the disc's content, including Time Warner Inc., Sony Corporation, BMG Entertainment. Large independent replicators of pre-recorded content inclu de Panasonic, Technicolor, Cinram International, Inc., Disctronics Manufacturing, Inc., and in the recordable market (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW) Ritek Corporation and CMC Magnetics. Drive/Player manufacturers include, among others, Denon Digital, LLC, LG, Hitachi, LTD., Victor Company of Japan, LTD., Kenwood Corporation, Panasonic, Royal Phillips Electronics, Pioneer Corp., LiteOn IT Corp., Sharp Electronics Corp., Sony Corporation, Thomson Corporation and Toshiba Corporation. Content owners include software producers, music labels and movie studios. All major studios are now supporting the open DVD-Video format with over 4,200 titles available in North America. 21 Methods of Competition and Certain Challenges Given the licensing and joint venture development aspects of the Company's business model, the Company has established corporate goals and strategies that will guide the process. These goals include: . the identification of key strategic market segments, . the creation of marketable products demanded by these segments, . the development of business relationships with best-in-class partners in these segments, . the establishment of FMD/C as an industry standard for the next generation of removable optical data storage, and . the creation of strong brand awareness and recognition of the Company's technology. The Company is intent on bringing its products to market as quickly as possible, and the Company will focus on markets where the Company can expect to gain a significant market share and thereby achieve the maximum return for each marketing dollar spent, both financially and strategically. The Company intends to leverage its experience within these segments to cross over from specific niche markets into broader mainstream markets. The exploitation of key market segments will coincide with development milestones relating to FMD/C technology. The Company will focus first on creating relationships regarding ROM products, followed by WORM and then R/W and hybrid ROM-R-R/W products. Exceptions to this strategy may occur, such as the possible determination during the ROM phase of certain key strategic relationships regarding WORM and R/W drives and media. Potential roadblocks to the introduction of FMD/C technology include: . the willingness of content and application providers to accept the new media standards and to release valuable content for the media, . acceptance, by media and drive manufacturers, of the royalty pricing scheme, and . creation of a critical mass of initial partners able to ensure broad acceptance and adoption of the technology and its associated standards. Risks Pertaining to Foreign Operations See the description of risks pertaining to the Company's foreign operations in section "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this Annual Report. 22 Employees As of February 1, 2001, the Company had 92 workers, including 22 in the research and development office in Israel, 35 in the research and development office in Moscow, 23 in the Ukraine and five in management, finance and administration and seven in research and development in the United States. None of the Company's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Risk Factors The Company's prospects are subject to certain uncertainties and risks. This Annual Report on Form 10-K also contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Securities Laws. The Company's future results may differ materially from its current results and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including but not limited to those set forth below, other one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in the Company's other filings with the SEC. Risks and uncertainties which either the Company does not know about or the Company currently believes are immaterial may also materially impair the Company's business operations. If any of the following risks occur, the Company's business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of the Company's common stock could decline, which in turn may cause the loss of all or part of a stockholder's investment. Business Related Risks The Company has no history of revenue, and expects to continue to incur operating losses until such time as its First Generation products achieve commercial acceptance. As a research and development company, the Company has no revenue history and therefore the Company has not achieved profitability. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company incurred a net loss of $20,247,205 for the year ended December 31, 2000, $4,866,687 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $3,191,902 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company has never generated profits, and there is no assurance that, in the future, the Company will be profitable on a quarterly or annual basis. In addition, over the next twelve months, the Company plans to increase operating expenses in order to fund research and development and increase administration resources. However, the Company anticipates receiving revenues at the earliest by the first quarter of 2002. Nevertheless, it is possible that the Company's revenues may never be sufficient to recognize a profit. 23 The Company will need to raise additional capital to sustain operations. The Company cannot assure that it can continue to raise sufficient capital to fund operations for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that it has sufficient working capital and available lines of credit to sustain operations for the next twelve months. However, because the Company is a research and development company in the data storage technology field, the Company continually expends large amounts of capital over short periods of time. The Company cannot assure that any revenues generated in the future, if any, will be sufficient to finance the complete cost of its research and development. The Company will require additional funds before the Company can achieve positive cash flow from operations. Future capital requirements and profitability depend on many factors, such as the timely success of product development projects, the timeliness and success of joint venture and corporate alliance strategies and marketing efforts. The Company is actively in the process of raising additional capital. Terms on which the Company may raise additional capital may include restrictions that could make payments of existing debts difficult, create difficulties in obtaining future financings, limit the Company's options for changing the business and cause substantial cash flow problems. The Company cannot assure that additional financing or additional funds will be available when the Company needs them or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may not be able to continue. Any additional stock or convertible debt financing which the Company obtains, if any, could result in substantial dilution to stockholders. The Company has a limited operating history that began in 1997 and may encounter difficulties typical to new operations. Some of the Company's subsidiaries began operating in January 1997, when they continued to perform research and development of three-dimensional technology for the storage of digital information on disc that some of the Company's present scientists had begun in 1995. Since the Company is a new operation, the Company may encounter problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays typical to new operations. Primarily, there is the risk that the Company may not be able to transform the technology that the Company developed into commercially profitable products. Also, there is the risk that once another company or the Company introduces the products into the market place, the market will not accept or adopt the Company's products. The Company conducts operations in countries with a recent history of economic and political instability, and this instability may have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition. In addition to the Company's activities in the United States, the Company conducts business operations in Israel, the Ukraine and Russia. In recent history, these three nations have experienced significant economic and political instability. It is possible that present or future economic or political instability in these nations will have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to conduct business or on the Company's financial condition. 24 Economic instability in the foreign nations in which the Company operates might result from or lead to inflation, high interest rates and social unrest, which could adversely affect the Company's operations and performance. Economic instability may encompass unstable price levels such as inflation, unstable interest levels or rates, such as fluctuation of capital, and social unrest that could adversely affect the Company's operations and performance. The rate of inflation in Israel, Russia and the Ukraine has not materially adversely affected the Company's financial condition. It is impossible to predict whether the rate of inflation in Israel, Russia or the Ukraine will materially adversely affect the Company's future financial condition. However, the Company believes that it is possible that such adverse effects might result in the future. On numerous occasions in the past, high rates of inflation have occurred in Israel, Russia and the Ukraine. High inflation may reoccur in the future, causing insecurity and uneasiness in the local populace in general, including the Company's employees. In these situations, there is often concern about the increasing cost of living and attempts to keep pace with it. This situation by itself might adversely affect the Company's performance. Whenever the currency exchange rate does not proportionally match inflation, as it has happened as a matter of governmental policy in such countries as Israel and Russia, generally there is an increase in the costs to the Company in U.S. dollars. Such increases in costs might materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition. Presently, the Company does not have a hedging policy for protection against changes in the dollar costs of the Company's activities. Changes and fluctuations in interest rates might affect the Company's operations in Israel, Russia and the Ukraine. The changes in interest rates might create either investment or disinvestment that might affect the economy of an entire country, and thus also the Company's employees. Because the Company finances most of the Company's non-U.S. operations in U.S. dollars, and since the Company expects that this financing will continue in the future, the Company believes that local interest rate fluctuations will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition. The economic situation in Israel, Russia and the Ukraine might eventually develop into extended social unrest. Such social unrest might materially adversely affect the financial performance of the Company's local, as well as the Company's overall, operations. Political instability in the foreign nations in which the Company operates might result from or lead to military confrontation, frequent changes in national governments, terrorism and corruption which could adversely affect the Company's operations and performance. The Company does not possess political risk or other insurance to protect against business interruption losses caused by political acts. Israel's physical security and integrity have been at risk since Israel's inception as a modern nation. Israel and Syria have attempted to restart peace negotiations. However, there is no formal peace between Israel and Syria or Lebanon. Additionally, there are conflicts between Israel and Iraq and between Israel and Iran. Israel and the Palestinian Authority have been 25 conducting negotiations regarding the legal status of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem, the current Israeli capital. In connection with those negotiations and their results, violent activity occurred, and is expected to reoccur. Therefore, to the extent that the Company has operations in Israel, there is a risk that the political instability will have an adverse impact on the Company's ability to conduct business. It is highly unlikely, but possible, that Israel's compulsory military service obligation for its citizens, which lasts until an individual is 45 years of age, could disrupt the scheduled work of the Israeli research and development facility. This obligation could delay the commercial launch of the planned volumetric storage product line and materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Russia's significant political and economic instability could have a material adverse effect on the results of the Company's operations and the market price of the Company's stock. Russia has incurred significant debt, which it may fail to repay on a timely basis. Russian currency, the ruble, has encountered foreign exchange volatility. The Russian government has experienced frequent political instability and change, including wars inside Russia, acts of terrorism, power struggles among government officials and among big commercial enterprises. In recent years, the Russian former president replaced prime ministers frequently, and parties with radical positions regarding intervention of the government in the economy, like the Communist Party, have gained in influence. The Company does not believe that these activities have had a materially adverse effect on the Company. However, in the future, such factors may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. Difficulties in protecting and enforcing the Company's rights and future changes to local laws and regulations could adversely affect the Company's ability to conduct operations in Russia. Additional strains on the local operations might result from other factors, such as the delay of Moscow banks in acknowledging wire transfers of funds into Russia. These delays can range from a day to a week or longer. Also, Moscow banks often charge very expensive and somewhat arbitrary fees for wire transfers. Like Russia, the Ukraine has experienced significant political and economic change. The Ukrainian economy is less developed than that of Russia and is susceptible to most of the same economic risks as Russia, including governmental debt defaults or restructurings, currency restrictions, foreign exchange volatility and political instability. Economic or political instability in the Ukraine might have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to conduct business or on the Company's financial condition. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions to hedge market risk in Russia, Israel or the Ukraine, and market fluctuation may adversely affect the Company's Ukrainian, Israeli and Russian operations. The Company cannot provide any assurance that future developments in each respective country will not generally have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate that the Company will enter into derivative transactions, such as foreign currency forward or option contracts, to hedge against known or forecasted market changes. 26 The Company may require additional technology in order to successfully develop and license the Company's technology. The Company believes that it has developed a substantial amount of technology for the Company's products. Nevertheless, if the Company cannot develop the additional technology that the Company needs in order to be able to sell the products, the Company may have to purchase technology from others. The Company cannot promise or accurately forecast whether the Company will succeed in performing these acquisitions. The Company depends upon, and could become unable to maintain or attract, knowledgeable and experienced personnel vital to the Company's financial success. In order to succeed, the Company depends upon its ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical and management personnel, including experts in the field of data storage technology and the sciences underlying such technology. These individuals are in high demand and are often subject to competing offers. The Company faces competition for such personnel from other companies, research and academic institutions, government entities and other organizations. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to attract and retain other qualified personnel the Company needs for the business. Furthermore, the Company does not currently maintain "key man" insurance for any personnel. Provisions of corporate law and the Company's certificate of incorporation could deter takeover attempts. The provisions of the corporate law of the Company's state of incorporation and the Company's certificate of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company, even if the change of control would benefit the stockholders. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to successfully protect the Company's Fluorescent Memory Technology and enforce the Company's intellectual property rights. Although the Company intends to rely on trade secret, trademark, copyright and other intellectual property laws to protect the Company's Fluorescent Memory Technology, the Company currently relies almost entirely on patent laws for protection. While the Company intends to vigorously enforce the Company's intellectual property rights, the Company cannot assure that the steps taken to protect the Fluorescent Memory Technology and to enforce the rights will be successful. Through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, TriDStore IP, L.L.C., as of February 8, 2001, the Company individually held nine U.S. patents, more than fifty U.S. and foreign regular patent applications, thirteen pending U.S. provisional patent applications and fourteen international patent applications pursuant to the Patent Cooperation Treaty. In addition, the Company's 80% owned subsidiary, Velor Incorporated has pending two U.S. provisional patent applications. The Company cannot assure that it will timely exercise the right to convert provisional or PCT patent applications into regular or international patent applications or that patent authorities will issue patents for any regular or international patent applications. 27 The Company expects to develop trade secrets and may seek patent or copyright protection for trade secrets. The Company cannot assure that it will develop trade secrets or seek patent or copyright protection for any or all of them. The Company has entered into and intends to enter into confidentiality and non- disclosure agreements to protect one or more trade secrets, which the Company or the Company's employees or independent contractors may develop, but the Company cannot assure that it will do so or that the appropriate parties will maintain the confidentiality necessary to protect the Company's trade secrets. A failure to maintain one or more trade secrets could have a material adverse financial impact on the Company. The Company may offer products in the U.S. and in foreign countries based on the patented Fluorescent Memory Technology. However, certain countries in the Pacific Rim and elsewhere may not offer the same degree of intellectual property protection that the U.S., European Community and Japan afford. Therefore, the Company may be unable to enforce the Company's patent rights in those jurisdictions, even if the Company was able to obtain intellectual property rights. The Company has filed intent to use trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the trademarks "CLEARCARD" and "CONSTELLATION 3D". The Company cannot assure that these applications will mature into registrations or that the Company will even use these marks. Furthermore, the Company acquired the internet domain names "C-3D.NET," "C-TRID.COM," "C- TRID.NET", "C3DINC.COM", "CONSTELLATION3D.COM", and "CONSTELLATION3D.NET". Currently, the Company maintains its web site at http://www.c-3d.net. The Company cannot guarantee that any patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks or domain names that the Company developed or obtained will provide sufficient value or protection. Furthermore, the Company cannot assure that other parties will not challenge the validity or that other parties will not assert affirmative defenses to infringement or dilution. If another party succeeds in developing data storage technology comparable to Fluorescent Memory Technology without infringing, diluting, misusing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the Company's intellectual property rights, the Company's financial condition may materially suffer. Due to potential intellectual property claims and litigation that parties may initiate against the Company, the Company may suffer economic losses and become unable to research, develop or license the sale or manufacture of the technology. As it is typical in the data storage industry, other parties may in the future notify the Company of claims that may be infringing, diluting, misusing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the Company's intellectual property rights. It is impossible to predict the outcome of such potential claims, and the Company cannot assure that the relevant authorities will resolve the potential claims in the Company's favor. The Company also cannot assure that an unfavorable resolution of a claim will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial results. In particular, there has been significant litigation in the data storage industry relating to infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights. The Company cannot assure that future intellectual property claims will not result in litigation. If another party 28 were to establish infringement, dilution, misuse, misappropriation or any other intellectual property rights violation, the Company or the Company's joint ventures might have to pay substantial damages, or courts might enjoin the Company from developing, marketing, manufacturing and selling the infringing products in one or more countries. In addition, the costs of engaging in intellectual property litigation can be substantial regardless of outcome. If the Company seeks licensure for intellectual property that the Company cannot otherwise lawfully use, the Company cannot assure that it will be able to obtain such licensure on satisfactory terms. The Company might not own intellectual property that the Company believes it owns or that the Company needs in order to successfully research, develop and license the Company's technology. In the future, a court, patent office or other authority may deem one of the Company's employees or contractors and not the Company to be the legal owner of one or more patents, patent applications or other intellectual property, which is material to protecting the Company's data storage technology. The Company typically requires that the Company's employees and contractors assign to the Company all right, title and interest in and to the intellectual property that was developed for the Company. However, the Company cannot assure that it will obtain legal ownership of one or more licenses to use the intellectual property, which an authority deems to be the property of the Company's employee or contractor, on satisfactory terms. The Company's failure to obtain the legal ownership of, or one or more licenses to use, the intellectual property may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial results. The Company may eventually face inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims, which may have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition. The Company does not presently have product liability insurance. Currently, the Company's technology is not mass manufactured and the Company does not expect that anyone will mass manufacture the Company's technology in the immediate future. Possible future product liability lawsuits may affect the reputation of the Company's future products and services or otherwise diminish the Company's financial results even though the Company may obtain product liability insurance. The Company may protect itself against product liability claims by contractually requiring the joint ventures and licensees: . to have continuous quality control inspections, detailed training and instructions in the manufacture of the Company's products; . to indemnify the Company for damages caused by tortuous acts or omissions of the joint venture or licensee; or . to obtain and maintain adequate product liability insurance. If injured persons bring product liability suits, the Company cannot assure that any existing product liability insurance of a joint venture or any existing indemnification by joint ventures will adequately cover the liability claims. In addition, the Company cannot assure that 29 product liability insurance will be available to the joint ventures in sufficient amounts and at acceptable costs. The Company may be unable to obtain sufficient components on commercially reasonable or satisfactory terms, which may have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition. It is common in the data storage technology manufacturing and assembly industry for certain components to be available only from a few or sole-source suppliers. However, the Company cannot assure that the key components for future products will be available from a number of source suppliers. Therefore, the Company and joint ventures and licensees may experience difficulty in obtaining a sufficient supply of key components on a timely basis. The Company intends to develop relationships with qualified manufacturers with the goal of securing high-volume manufacturing capabilities, thus controlling the cost of current and future models of the Company's future products. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to obtain a sufficient supply of components on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms or realize any future cost savings. The same supply and cost problems could adversely affect the Company's sales of products. The inability to obtain sufficient components and equipment, to obtain or develop alternative sources of supply at competitive prices and quality or to avoid manufacturing delays, could prevent joint ventures from producing sufficient quantities of the Company's products to satisfy market demand. Additionally, in the case of a component purchased exclusively from one supplier, joint ventures could become unable to produce any quantity of the affected products until the component becomes available from an alternative source. These problems could cause delays to product shipments, thereby increasing the joint venture's material or manufacturing costs or causing an imbalance in the inventory levels of certain components. Moreover, difficulties in obtaining sufficient components may cause joint ventures and licensees to modify the design of the Company's products to use a more readily available component. These design modifications may result in product performance problems. Any or all of these problems could result in the loss of customers, provide an opportunity for competing products to achieve market acceptance and otherwise adversely affect the Company's business and financial results. The Company may become financially dependent on one or a small number of customers. Because the Company is a research and development company, the Company has not developed a customer base for its products. The Company intends to establish joint ventures and licensing arrangements with strategic partners to market and sell Fluorescent Memory Technology. In the future, it is possible that the Company, the joint ventures and licensees will have sales to one or a small number of customers which equal ten percent or more of the Company's consolidated revenues. 30 The Company's officers spend time on projects that bear no relation to the Company's activities. Some of the Company's officers, notably Michael Goldberg and Lev Zaidenberg, serve as directors, officers and employees of other companies. While the Company believes that the officers will be devoting adequate time to effectively manage the Company, the Company cannot assure that their other positions will not negatively impact their duties and that the impact will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. The Company believes that the other company positions of the Company's officers do not raise actual or potential conflicts of interest that could interfere with the carrying out of their respective duties at the Company. The Company's expected products may be subject to various legal and regulatory controls. The Company is unaware of any particular electrical, telecommunication, environmental, health or safety laws and standards that will apply to the Company's products. While the Company does not anticipate special regulations of the Company's products, the Company cannot assure that it will not have to comply with laws and regulations of domestic, international or foreign governmental or legal authorities. Compliance with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse affect on the Company. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates computer hardware that contains or utilizes magnetic forces to store information. If the FCC in the future chooses to regulate fluorescent-based computer storage devices, such as the Company's products, compliance with those regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. The Company faces intense competition in the data storage technology industry. The Company estimates that there are approximately 14 enterprises currently researching, developing or producing other types of data storage technology, which the Company considers to be the Company's material competitors. The data storage technology industry is fiercely competitive, and a number of the Company's competitors, such as EMC Corporation, Iomega Corporation and Seagate Technology, Inc. have already established their names, brands, products and technologies in the marketplace. The Company expects that some competitors will continue to have significant market shares. The Company's competitors may further increase their market shares through mergers, acquisitions and research and development. While the Company believes that Fluorescent Memory products and joint venture and licensing strategies will result in competitive advantages, the Company cannot assure that it will obtain or maintain any of such advantages over time. Furthermore, the Company cannot assure that a competitor will not invent a superior technology, or that the Company's products and services will be able to penetrate the data storage market. Many of the Company's current and potential competitors have or may have advantages such as greater financial, personnel, marketing, sales and public relations resources. Existing or future competitors may develop or offer products that provide significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over products that the Company offers. 31 Risks Related to the Company's Common Stock The market price of the Company's common stock may fluctuate significantly. The stock market in general and the market for shares in technology companies in particular have recently experienced extreme price fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. The Company believes that the principal factors that may cause price fluctuations are: . fluctuations in the Company's financial results; . fluctuations in the Company's product development timetables; . general conditions and development in the technology industries and the worldwide economy; . conditions and expectations regarding the data storage markets; . sales of the Company's common stock into the marketplace; . the number of market makers for the Company's common stock; . announcements of technological innovations or new or enhanced products by the Company or the Company's competitors; . a shortfall in revenue, gross margin, earnings or other financial results from operations or changes in analysts' expectations; . developments in the Company's relationships with the Company's suppliers and potential customers; and . significant operating and interest charges as a result of the Company's need to obtain future financing or services. The Company cannot be certain that the market price of the Company's common stock will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are adverse and unrelated to the Company's performance. The sales of a substantial number of shares of the Company's common stock could adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock by introducing a large number of sellers to the market. Given the potential for fluctuations in the price of the Company's shares, these sales could cause the market price of the Company's common stock to decline. 32 Investors who need immediate or future income should refrain from the purchase of the Company's common stock. The Company does not intend to pay dividends to the holders of the Company's outstanding common stock in the foreseeable future. Investors who need immediate or future income by way of dividends from their investment should refrain from the purchase of the Company's common stock. The market price of the Company's common stock may decrease if a large number of shares are sold in the future. Future sales of the Company's common stock in the public market, or the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and warrants or otherwise, could adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock and impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the sale of equity or equity-related securities. As of January 31, 2001, the following number of shares of common stock are issued or issuable: Issued and outstanding/(1)/................................... 43,192,775 Issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants whether or not currently exercisable/(2) (4) (5)/................. 6,251,922 Issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options whether or not currently exercisable...................... 6,124,617 Issuable upon conversion of convertible loans/(3)/............ 319,913
(1) Excluding 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock owned by Constellation 3D Trust LLC, one of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries. (2) Currently exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $0.001 to $15.13 per share. (3) A loan of $4,000,000 provided by Sands Brothers Venture Capital Associates LLC convertible at $17.65 per share and a loan of $1,000,000 provided by Constellation 3D Technology Limited convertible at $10.72 per share. (4) Includes 3,450,000 shares underlying the warrants evidenced by agreements with Sands Brothers & Co., Ltd. ("Sands Brothers"), which are in dispute. See "Legal Proceedings" and "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." (5) Does not include adjustment warrants issued in connection with certain equity financings. As of January 31, 2001, of the 43,192,775 issued and outstanding shares identified in the table above, 30,116,106 are restricted securities (i.e., excluding 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock owned by Constellation 3D Trust LLC, one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries) within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), and may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an 33 exemption from registration is available. Such restricted securities are eligible for sale in the public market subject to compliance with Rule 144. In addition, other exemptions may be available for sales of such restricted securities held by non-affiliates. The Company cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of common stock, or the availability of such shares of common stock for sale, will have on the market price of the shares of common stock prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of shares of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the shares of common stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through an offering of the Company's equity securities. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's actual results may differ materially from historical results and those the Company presently anticipates. When readers consider forward- looking statements and Factors that May Affect Future Results, readers should keep that in mind as well as the other cautionary statements in this Annual Report, including the "Risk Factors" and "Factors That May Affect Future Results" included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Overview Constellation 3D, Inc. ("C3D"), formerly known as C3D Inc., is an international enterprise headquartered in New York, New York. With operations in the United States, Israel, the Ukraine and Russia, the Company researches and develops its proprietary technology ("Fluorescent Memory" or "Fluorescent Memory Technology") The Company plans to continue its focus on research and development of its data storage technology and to develop strategic alliances, joint ventures and licensing arrangements with established companies in the data storage industry. The Company expects that its operating expenses will increase significantly during the foreseeable future as the result of its plans to: . increase expenditures on marketing and business development by hiring additional staff, hosting demonstrations of the Company's technology to potential strategic partners, continually obtaining information about the market size and growth parameters to update the market analysis, updating industry pricing and cost trends, and monitoring new technological developments in the industry; . enhance existing capabilities of products by increasing the levels of research and development expenditures and capital; . increase expenditures on administration, by expanding the current management team, to provide the overall management of the parent company as well as the subsidiaries; 34 . increase monthly expenditures on professional fees for patent registration, licensing and joint venture agreements; and . establish research and development facilities with initial manufacturing capabilities in the United States by hiring additional staff and transferring equipment and personnel. . In addition, the Company anticipates incurring additional expenses with respect to industrialization of its first generation of products. The Company must raise additional funds as a result of the planned significant increase in its operating expenditures. The Company does not expect to receive revenues for the foreseeable future and expects to continue to incur operating losses. The Company is currently exploring additional financing alternatives, including the possibility of private equity or debt offerings. Although the Company's existing debt securities contain no such restrictions, the signing of future financing agreements could result in restrictions being placed on dividends, interest and principal payments, or any other covenant restrictions that could make payments of such debts difficult, create difficulties in obtaining further financings, limit the flexibility of changes in the business, and cause substantial liquidity problems. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. On February 8, 2000, C3D formed Constellation 3D Trust LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. C3D then issued 10,500,000 shares of common stock to Constellation 3D Trust LLC as a capital contribution and later cancelled all but 500,000 of said shares. Constellation 3D Trust LLC intends to use the shares to raise debt or equity capital and contribute the proceeds thereof to C3D, which proceeds shall be used for general corporate purposes. There is no assurance that the issuance of the shares will result in the raising of any debt or equity capital. For the purposes of the Company's consolidated financial statements, the net issuance of the 500,000 shares of common stock are not considered to be issued or outstanding because the common stock has remained under the control of C3D and the intention is to cancel the shares if no financing transaction is completed. On August 22, 2000, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock jointly to Reflekt Technology, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("Reflekt") and Vladimir Schwartz, President, sole director and sole stockholder of Reflekt ("Schwartz") in exchange for certain patents, which Reflekt or Schwartz owned in whole or in part. The warrant is exercisable beginning August 22, 2001 at an exercise price of $11.25 per share and terminates on August 22, 2004. On January 2, 2001, the Company agreed to acquire certain assets of its former Ukrainian subcontractor, Ladis Ltd., for cash consideration of approximately $30,000. Since that date, C3D has continued to conduct its Ukrainian operations using the equipment and other assets acquired from the former subcontractor. 35 On January 29, 2001, the Company formed Velor Incorporated ("Velor"), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Massachusetts that is 80% owned by the Company. Since incorporation, Velor has had no operations. Velor will engage in the business of researching and developing solid-state memory products. On January 30, 2001, at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, the stockholders approved the redomicile of the Company's place of incorporation from Florida to Delaware by merging the Company with and into its newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary Constellation 3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation. On February 6, 2001, Articles of Merger were filed with the Florida Secretary of State and a Certificate of Merger was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, which formally resulted in the redomicile of the Company to the State of Delaware. On February 12, 2001, the Company and Plasmon Plc ("Plasmon") entered into an agreement to jointly manufacture the process for mass production of FMD media. Under the agreement, Plasmon and the Company would collaborate to create an FMD media production process for adoption by the optical disc manufacturing industry. On December 1, 1999, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement and Warrant Agreement dated December 1, 1999 (the "Agency Agreement" and "Warrant Agreement" respectively) with Sands Brothers & Co., Ltd. ("Sands Brothers") which obligates Sands Brothers to raise through the placement of the Company's securities, on a best efforts basis, a minimum of $4.0 million (the "Minimum Amount") and, as amended on March 23, 2000, a maximum of $120.0 million for the Company. By the face of the March 23, 2000 amendments to the Agency and Warrant Agreements, the Company was to issue to Sands Brothers warrants to purchase 1,050,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.67 per share for the Minimum Amount of securities sold, and warrants to purchase 600,000 shares for each $1.0 million of the Company's securities sold up to $25.0 million (the "Additional Placement Agent Warrants") at an exercise price equal to a 40% discount to the average of the bid price of the Company's common stock for the 120 day period prior to any closing, but in no event less than $5.00 per share. On March 24, 2000, Sands Brothers raised $4 million for the Company pursuant to the Agency and the Warrant Agreement from Sands Brothers Venture Capital Associates LLC, an affiliate of Sands Brothers. The $4 million investment in the Company was made through a subordinated convertible debenture due on September 24, 2001. Pursuant to the provisions in the Agency Agreement, the Company issued to Sands Brothers warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 1,050,000 and 2,400,000 shares of common stock at the prices of $3.67 and $15.13, respectively. In connection with the issuance of the subordinated convertible debenture, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Sands Brothers Venture Capital Associates LLC (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). On March 23, May 16, May 31, June 28, and August 3 of the year 2000, the Company amended the Placement Agency Agreement, Warrant Agreement and Warrant Certificate No. SB-2. Among other results of the amendments, Sands Brothers is no longer the Company's exclusive financing source and is not entitled to any fees or stock warrants with respect to financing sources, which it has not brought to the Company. 36 The Company contends that the Warrants and all provisions in the Agency Agreement, and all documents related thereto which call for the issuance of the Warrants to Sands Brothers are no longer enforceable, because Sands Brothers failed to satisfy its obligations under such documents. Sands Brothers claims that the Company is in breach of the Company's obligation to register the shares underlying the Warrants and by such failure to register, claims that it has been damaged, at a minimum, in the amount of $32,128,125, less the exercise price of the Warrants. Although the Company is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this dispute, an adverse resolution thereof would have an adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. See "Legal Proceedings" for an expanded discussion. The Company has a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of its business. The Company's business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as the data storage market. These risks include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, inability to manage growth, competition from more established companies, dependence on suppliers, internal system problems and the inability to obtain sufficient financing and an unproven business record. Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1999 The Company's reported financial condition and results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000, includes all amounts for the parent company, C3D, and C3D's three wholly-owned operating subsidiary companies, C-TriD Israel Ltd., an Israeli company ("C-TriD"), Constellation 3D Vostok, a Russian company ("Vostok"), and FMD&E, Inc., a Massachusetts company ("FMD&E"). The Company's reported financial condition and results of operations for the comparative year ended December 31, 1999, include the combined earnings of C-TriD and Vostok for the full 1999 year, the earnings of the predecessor company, Constellation Tech for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, together with the earnings of C3D after October 1, 1999, the date on which the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets. Revenue. The Company generated no revenue for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Research and Development Expenses. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $4,658,082 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $2,413,239 for the year ended December 31, 1999 for an increase of $2,244,843, or about 93%. Research and development expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred for the development of the data storage technology, including compensation of technical staff and contractors, materials consumed in the development process, and professional fees for patent registration of intellectual property. The significant costs were payroll for staff and contractors, which amounted to $2,812,642 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $1,366,002 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily due to the hiring of additional staff with greater qualifications, and the expansion of the Company's contractual relationships 37 with current subcontractors. Professional fees were $405,849 for patent registration for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $556,432 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease in patent registration was due to the Company's proprietary Fluorescent Memory Technology becoming more proven and patentable during the same period last year. Materials consumed amounted to $421,608 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $64,155 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in material was due to purchase of various materials required at the current stage of development of the Company's products. Travel expenses amounted to $433,310 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $26,706 travel expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in travel costs is due to the travel of research and development staff between the Company's geographical locations. General and administrative costs associated with research and development facilities were $584,673 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $399,944 for the year ended December 31, 1999. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of management compensation, rent, professional fees, telephone, travel and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses were $4,369,384 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $1,986,392 for the year ended December 31, 1999 for an increase of $2,382,992, or about 120%. The Company paid substantially more for management and facilities for the year ended December 31, 2000, than it did for the year ended December 31, 1999. Payroll expenses and management fees relating to general and administrative activities were $881,756 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $466,034 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The rise in compensation expenses was due to the increase in the size and compensation of the management team compared to the year ended December 31, 1999 and a non-cash compensation charge of $36,321 for the grant of options to non-executive directors during the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with no such charge for the year ended December 31, 1999. Professional fees were $1,650,022 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $564,486 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was for legal support for the Company's legal and accounting work required for the preparation of the publicly filed statements and reports, and general corporate matters. Office and maintenance charges were $716,034 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $527,091 for the year ended December 31 1999. The increase in office and maintenance charges relates to the increased activity of the New York office for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared to the year ended December 31, 1999, when the corporate office in New York had just opened in the fourth quarter of 1999. Travel and accommodation expenses were $287,730 in the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $303,443 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Consulting fees amounted to $518,980 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $111,623 for the year ended December 31, 1999 including a non-cash compensation charge of $320,464 for the grant of options to non-employee consultants during the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with no such charge for the year ended December 31, 1999. Stockholder relations expenses and filing fees were $314,862 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $13,715 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Marketing. Marketing expenses consisted of compensation to employees and consultants and travel expenditures for demonstrations of the Company's technology to potential strategic partners. Marketing expenses were $5,686,926 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared 38 to $97,635 for the year ended December 31, 1999, when the Company had just begun to demonstrate its technology. Most of the expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000, $5,209,586, were compensation expenses relating to marketing and business development. The compensation expense consisted of $4,293,000 and $512,671 in non-cash stock-based compensation due to the grant of 450,000 and 195,000 options, respectively, to a non-employee consultant and $403,915 in payroll and consulting fees for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with no such expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999. The compensation charge relating to the grant of stock options represents the relative fair value ascribed to the options measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company reflected the effects of the compensation expense related to the grant of stock options as an increase to additional paid-in capital in the statement of stockholders' equity. Travel and accommodation expenses for product demonstrations and exhibits were $371,414 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $97,635 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company incurred $36,543 in expenses relating to media exposure for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared to no expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999. General and administrative costs associated with marketing were $69,383 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with no general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999. Interest Expense, net. The Company recorded net interest expense of $5,433,399 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $305,833 for the year ended December 31, 1999 for an increase of $5,127,566, or 1,677%. The interest expense included $2,566,185 for the amortization of the financing cost associated with detachable warrants issued in connection with the issuance of subordinated convertible debt and the convertible line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2000, compared to no such expense for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company recorded an interest expense of $120,000 for the beneficial conversion feature on the subordinated convertible debt issued during the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $125,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. During the year ended December 31, 2000, a stockholder loan and two convertible notes were converted into common stock. The original conversion terms were amended to reduce the conversion price and the Company issued warrants relating to the stockholder loan and both convertible debts. The value ascribed to the warrants and the modification of the conversion terms for accounting purposes was $1,783,000, which was recorded as an interest expense and as an addition to paid-in capital of stockholders equity. The Company also recorded an interest expense of $500,000 related to commission charged on the subordinated convertible debt issued during the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Interest expenses, excluding noncash charges, relating to the line of credit, stockholder loans and subordinated convertible debt amounted to $633,795 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared to $88,129 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Interest revenue was generated through short-term deposits and amounted to $169,581 during the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $7,296 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Taxes. The Company has generated inter-company taxable income to date and therefore has incurred $99,414 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $63,588 for the year ended December 31, 1999 for an increase of $35,826, or about 56%. Israeli and Russian subsidiaries, C-TriD and Vostok, incurred taxes due to their treatment of inter-company advances as taxable revenue. The Company has not generated any taxable income to date and 39 therefore has not paid any federal income taxes since inception. The Company has fully reserved deferred tax assets created primarily from net operating loss carryforwards and deferred start-up costs because management is unable to conclude that future realization is likely. Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1998 The Company's reported earnings from operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999, include the combined earnings of the two operating subsidiaries, C-TriD and Vostok, for the full 1999 year, the earnings of the predecessor company, Constellation Tech, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, together with the earnings of C3D after October 1, 1999, the date on which the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets. The reported earnings for the year ended December 31, 1998 are that of the predecessor company, Constellation Tech. Revenue. The Company generated no revenue in the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. Research and System Development Expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred for the development of the data storage technology, including compensation of technical staff and contractors, materials consumed in the development process, and professional fees for intellectual property. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $2,413,239 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $1,534,948 for the year ended December 31, 1998 for an increase of $878,291, or about 57%. The significant costs were payroll for staff and contractors which amounted to $1,366,002 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $965,114 for year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in payroll expenditures was due to the increase in staff levels for the year compared with the year ended December 31, 1998. Professional fees were $556,432 for patent preparation and filing for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $312,612 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in patent costs was due to the expanded coverage in scope and geography of the Company's Fluorescent Memory Technology. Materials consumed amounted to $64,155 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $139,565 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This decrease was due to the reduction of new materials required as the Company's products went from prototypes to a demonstrable product in 1999. Travel expenses amounted to $26,706 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $17,242 travel expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998. General and administrative costs associated with research and development facilities were $399,944 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $100,415 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increased general and administrative expenses reflects the start-up of Vostok, the Russian subsidiary formed in early 1999, compared to the year ended December 31, 1998 when Vostok had yet to be formed. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of management compensation, rent, professional services, telephone expense, travel and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses were $1,986,392 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $1,660,477 for the year ended December 31, 1998 for an increase of $325,915, or about 20%. This increase reflected the hiring of additional management, increased facilities charges and expansion of operations. Payroll expenses and 40 management fees relating to general and administrative expenses were $466,034 in the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $690,066 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease was due to the reduction of a management contract from $400,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Deferred tax assets created primarily from net operating loss carryforwards and deferred start-up costs have been fully reserved as management is unable to conclude that future realization is more likely than not. 41 Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2000, the Company's cash position was $8,728,600 and its working capital was $3,836,732, compared to a cash position of $2,030,139 and a working capital deficit of $1,415,276 as of December 31, 1999. Since inception, the Company has financed its operations from capital contributions, stockholder loans, subordinated convertible debt, and borrowings from a line of credit. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company received net proceeds of $11,544,519 from the sale of common stock, proceeds of $4,000,000 from the issuance of subordinate convertible debt, and $1,000,000 from borrowings on the convertible line of credit. This compares with net proceeds of $3,100,000 from the issuance of subordinate convertible debt and advances from stockholder of $1,541,490 for the year ended December 31, 1999. During the year ended December 31, 2000, convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $2,912,480 and loans payable in the aggregate amount of $1,402,163 were converted into common stock of the Company. This compares with the conversion of $1,014,725 in convertible notes payable and $241,490 of loans payable during the year ended December 31, 1999. Net cash used in operating activities was $9,494,023 for the year ended December 31, 2000, including a net loss of $20,247,205 and an increase in payables of $656,369. This compares with net cash used in operating activities of $3,719,345 for the year ended December 31, 1999, including a net loss of $4,866,687 and an increase in payables of $844,441. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded non-cash expenses of $5,162,456 relating to the issuance of stock options to non-employee consultants, a charge of $120,000 for the beneficial conversion feature on convertible debt issued during the period, charges of $1,783,000 for the modification of conversion prices and issuance of warrants on the conversion of debt, and $2,566,185 for the amortization of the deferred interest from the issuance of detachable warrants issued during the period. This compares with non-cash transactions of $28,750 relating to the issuance of common stock for services to non-employee consultants and a charge of $125,000 for the beneficial conversion feature on convertible debt for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company plans to increase its operating expenditures in the future in order to expand its operations. The Company has not generated any revenues to date and does not anticipate cash flow from operations to be sufficient to fund its cash requirements until late in the year 2002. The Company incurred net capital expenditures of $257,872 for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with net capital expenditures of $65,581 for the year ended December 31, 1999. These expenditures were primarily for laboratory equipment associated with the Company's continued research and development. Based on its existing working capital resources and available lines of credit, the Company anticipates that it will be able to fund operations for the next twelve months. The Company's capital requirements depend on several factors, including the success and progress of research development programs, the resources devoted to developing products, the extent to which products achieve market acceptance, and other factors. The Company has a commitment to pay the $4 million subordinated convertible debenture issued to Sands Brothers Venture Capital Associates LLC by the due date of September 24, 2001. The Company also has commitments to 42 pay consultants and employees, under contract, for a minimum of $287,500 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $75,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company currently has no commitments for any credit facilities such as revolving credit agreements or lines of credit that could provide additional working capital except for: (i) an agreement with Constellation Tech, the Company's majority stockholder, to provide the Company with a credit line of $6,000,000 out of which the Company borrowed $1,000,000 as of December 31, 2000; and (ii) a firm offer of an equity line from an affiliate of a major investor of at least $25 million which is available to the Company at the Company's option through April 30, 2001 The Company's capital requirements depend on several factors, including the success and progress of research and development programs, the resources devoted to developing products, the extent to which products achieve market acceptance and other factors. The Company anticipates that it will require substantial additional financing to fund the Company's working capital requirements in future years. There can be no assurance, however, that additional funding will be available or, if available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may not be able to continue. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional cash if the Company's cash resources are exhausted. The Company's ability to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the Company's business performance. The Company believes that with the cash on hand and its available equity line, the Company has sufficient resources to fund its operations for the next year. The Company has been in the development stage since its inception. The Company has had no operating revenue to date, has accumulated losses of $30,918,539 and will require additional working capital to complete the Company's business development activities and generate revenue adequate to cover operating and further development expenses. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including some types of derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 defining SFAS No. 133's effective date, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, and must be applied to instruments issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133 to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 43 addresses certain practice issues related to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"). FIN 44 applies only to companies that have chosen not to adopt SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for transactions with employees. Among other issues, FIN 44 clarifies (a) the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. To the extent that FIN 44 covers events occurring during the periods after December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying FIN 44 are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. The Company's adoption of FIN 44 did not have a material effect the Company's financial position or results of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Emerging Issues task Force (EITF) 00-27 "Application of EITF No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratios, to certain Convertible Instruments" ("EITF No. 00-27"). EITF No. 00-27 requires the remeasurement of the original issue discount on convertible debt with characteristics similar to the convertible debt issued by the Company during years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. This accounting change required the value of the warrants issued with the convertible debt to be included in calculating the beneficial conversion value. The adoption of EITF No. 00-27 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities The information below relates to the Company's sales, during the year ended December 31, 2001, of securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The share amounts and prices per share have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the change in the price per share of the common stock resulting from the three-for-one forward split of the Company's common stock that took effect on January 18, 2000. In the aggregate, as of February 15, 2001, 6,213,876 shares of the Company's common stock purchased in the sales listed below have been registered by the Company for resale by selling stockholders on Form S-1 and Form S-3.

The warrants to purchase the Company's common stock vest over 12 months and expire in 2003 through 2005. In connection with the issuance, the Company recorded a non-cash compensation expense to general and administrative expenses of $277,880, representing the fair value of the warrants granted. On November 11, 1999 the Company issued $500,000 in principal amount of 8% convertible subordinated debentures due October 31, 2001 to Wilbro Nominees Limited 44 ("Wilbro"). The original conversion terms provided that the notes would be converted at the price of the lesser of (A) the average market price of the common stock over a period of twenty (20) trading days preceding any applicable date of conversion (the "Conversion Date") less a discount of 20%, or (B) the average market price of the common stock over a period of twenty (20) days preceding any applicable Conversion Date (such price being referred to herein as the "Initial Conversion Price"), provided that, in the event of (A) above, no discount shall apply unless such average market price of the Common Stock is at least $5.00 per share. On the date of issuance, the Company recorded interest expense of $125,000 for the value ascribed to the beneficial conversion feature. In order to induce Wilbro to convert its debentures into common stock, the Company agreed to: (i) amend the then applicable conversion price, which ranges from $8.68 to $16.77, to $11.00 (ii) offer Wilbro 15,000 common stock purchase warrants. On October 12, 2000, an aggregate of $500,000 in principal amount and accrued interest of $44,507 of the debentures was converted by Wilbro into 49,500 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $11.00 per share. As a result of the amendment of the conversion price, the Company recognized an additional interest expense of $18,000 based on the excess of the fair value of the common stock transferred in excess of the fair value of the common stock issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. The Company also recognized an addition to paid in capital of stockholders' equity. Wilbro also received one-year warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.1531. The fair value ascribed to the warrants was approximately $35,000. Such amount was recorded as an interest expense and as an addition to paid-in capital of stockholders' equity.

Pursuant to a Term Sheet dated October 15, 1998, Agrotec Ltd./Formula Ventures Ltd., loaned $600,000 to Memory Devices (MD) (1996) Ltd., a subsidiary of Constellation 3D Holdings Limited. Pursuant to a Loan Conversion Rights Agreement, dated December 2, 1998, the principal and interest on the $600,000 loan was convertible into preferred shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of a calculated share value. The share value was the quotient of (i) the lowest valuation of the Company used in a financing of the Company between December 2, 1998 and the conversion date over (ii) the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

Compensation expense will be recorded over the vesting period. On December 1, 1999, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement and Warrant Agreement dated December 1, 1999 (the "Agency Agreement" and "Warrant Agreement" respectively) with Sands Brothers & Co., Ltd. ("Sands Brothers") which obligates Sands Brothers to raise through the placement of the Company's securities, on a best efforts basis, a minimum of $4.0 million (the "Minimum Amount") and, as amended on March 23, 2000, a maximum of $120.0 million for the Company. By the face of the March 23, 2000 amendments to the Agency and Warrant Agreements, the Company was to issue to Sands Brothers warrants to purchase 1,050,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.67 per share for the Minimum Amount of securities sold, and warrants to purchase 600,000 shares for each $1.0 million of the Company's securities sold up to $25.0 million (the "Additional Placement Agent Warrants") at an exercise price equal to a 40% discount to the average of the bid price of the Company's common stock for the 120 day period prior to any closing, but in no event less than $5.00 per share. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement and Warrant Agreement, on March 24, 2000, Sands Brothers raised $4 million for the Company from Sands Brothers Venture Capital Associates LLC, an affiliate of Sands Brothers. The $4 million investment in the Company was made through a subordinated convertible debenture due on September 24, 2001. Pursuant to the provisions in the Agency Agreement, the Company issued to Sands Brothers warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 1,050,000 and 2,400,000 shares of common stock at the prices of $3.67 and $15.13, respectively. As of the date of settlement, the Company valued the warrants issued to Sands Brothers at an aggregate of $10,137,700 and valued the warrants that Sands Brothers retained at an aggregate of $706,593. Both sets of warrants, if enforceable by their terms, expire on December 1, 2004. Such Warrants are in dispute. See "Legal Proceedings" and "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Unless more specifically indicated otherwise, the Company estimated the fair value of each warrant which was valued at the grant date by using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants during the year ended December 31, 2000: no dividend yield; expected life equal to the term to maturity of the subject warrant; expected volatility of 80%; and risk-free interest rates of 5.76% to 6.26%. 52 Unless indicated otherwise, the purpose of each of the foregoing sales was to raise additional capital for the Company and each of the foregoing sales of securities was to a person who is not affiliated with the Company. Except as set forth above, no compensation expense was recorded for the sale of equity securities set forth in this Item. Except as more specifically described elsewhere, the initial sale and initial issuance of the foregoing securities were believed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D as transactions not involving any public offering. The recipients represented their status as accredited investors at the time of subscription and their intention to acquire securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution thereof. Appropriate legends were affixed to stock certificates, warrant certificates and debentures issued in such transactions and all recipients had adequate access to information about the Company. In the transactions where securities were exchanged or converted for other securities, we claim exemption from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, for an exchange of securities with an existing security holder exclusively, where no commission or other renumeration is paid for soliciting such exchange.

Pursuant to the Company Loan Agreement and the Option Agreement, Con Tech is required to loan the Company (the "Company Loan") $15 million by approximately December 31, 2001, subject to certain conditions including the funding of the TIC Loan (described below). Con Tech also has the right to lend the Company up to an additional $5 million at any time on or prior to November 16, 2002. The Note (the "Note") issued pursuant to the Company Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which interest compounds annually and is payable upon the conversion or maturity of the Note. To secure its performance under the Company Loan Agreement, the Company has agreed to give Con Tech a $1,250,000 security deposit for a period of eighteen months. 58 Pursuant to the Option Agreement, on November 19, 2002 the unpaid principal and accrued interest amount of the Note shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.646 per share (the "Note Conversion Rate"). If Con Tech assigns the Option Agreement to TIC or another party, the holder of the Note shall, from the 45th business day after the initial funding under the Company Loan Agreement, have the right to, and, as of November 19, 2002, be required to convert the unpaid principal and interest amount of the Note into shares of common stock of the Company at the Note Conversion Rate. The Company projects that, in connection with a $15 million loan under the Company Loan Agreement, it will receive proceeds of approximately $13.7 million, net of investment banking, legal and other fees and expenses. Pursuant to the TIC Loan Agreement, TIC is required to loan Con Tech $15 million by approximately December 31, 2001, subject to certain conditions (the "TIC Loan"). TIC also has the right to lend Con Tech up to an additional $5 million at any time on or prior to November 16, 2002, which funds are required to be used to further fund the Company Loan. The TIC Loan will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which interest compounds annually and is payable upon the maturity of the TIC Loan on October 1, 2006. To secure the performance of its obligations under the TIC Loan, Con Tech has granted TIC a security interest in the Company Loan Agreement, the Note and the Option Agreement. In order to further induce TIC to enter into the TIC Loan Agreement, Con Tech assigned to TIC all of its beneficial interests in the Company, 26,089,283 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Designated Securities"), pursuant to the Assignment Agreement. The Assignment Agreement provides that TIC may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer ownership of such Designated Securities to anyone other than Con Tech but may make economic use of the Designated Securities. In addition, pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, TIC granted Con Tech an irrevocable proxy to vote the Designated Securities in Con Tech's discretion. The Assignment Agreement further provides that TIC shall, after January 18, 2002, have the right to, and, as of November 18, 2002, have the obligation to transfer the Designated Securities back to Con Tech (the "Reassignment"). If and when the Designated Securities are transferred by TIC to Con Tech: (i) Con Tech shall transfer and assign to TIC the Company Loan and all related agreements, rights, benefits, obligations, liabilities and indemnities of Con Tech (including, without limitation, the Note) and the Option Agreement; and (ii) the TIC Loan shall be cancelled and Con Tech shall be released from all liabilities under the Note. If TIC fails to assign the Designated Securities back to Con Tech, the Assignment Agreement provides that the TIC Loan shall be cancelled and TIC will pay Con Tech a cash sum that approximates, as of November 18, 2002, the market value of the number of shares that constitutes the difference between the: (i) the Designated Securities; and (ii) the shares then issuable upon conversion of the Note. 59 In connection with the TIC Loan Agreement, the Company granted TIC certain registration rights with respect to the Designated Securities and shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Security Holders Agreement contains a number of agreements between the Company, Con Tech and TIC relating to the future governance of the Company, the future sale of common stock of the Company and certain corporate actions of the Company. With respect to corporate governance, Con Tech agreed to vote all of its capital stock of the Company and the Company agreed to take all such action as may be necessary to: (i) maintain seven directors on the Company's Board of Directors; and (ii) elect and appoint two representatives designated by TIC to the Company's Board of Directors. Similarly, TIC agreed to vote all of its capital stock of the Company and the Company agreed to take all such action as may be necessary to: elect and appoint two representatives designated by Con Tech to the Company's Board of Directors. With respect to future sales of common stock, TIC and Con Tech granted each other co-sale rights with respect to certain transfers of common stock of the Company. With respect to corporate actions, until the first anniversary of the conversion of the Note pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company has agreed not to, without the prior consent of a majority of the independent directors of the Company, undertake the following: o issue any series of preferred stock; o sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or liquidate or otherwise dispose of encumber all or substantially all of its assets; o consolidate or merge with or into any other person; o redeem or repurchase any shares of common stock; o invest in any person not engaged in a business related to the business of C3D; o issue any shares of common stock or capital stock at a price less than 80% of its market price; or o enter into any transaction with an affiliate on non-arms length terms and conditions. The Security Holders Agreement defines an independent director to be a director who is neither an employee or officer of the Company, affiliate or director of TIC or Con Tech, nor a stockholder of TIC or Con Tech. The Security Holders Agreement provides that the co-sale rights and the voting rights shall terminate when either TIC or Con Tech beneficially own less than 10% of the outstanding common stock of C3D. The Security Holders Agreement further provides that the entire agreement shall terminate on the later to occur of: (i) November 18, 2002; and (ii) the date TIC and its affiliates own less than 10% of the outstanding common stock of C3D. 60 Historically, Con Tech has had voting control of C3D. Con Tech has generally had the ability to direct the election of all of our directors and, directly or indirectly, generally direct C3D's affairs. If TIC either: (i) acquires the Note and converts it into common stock; or fails to assign the Designated Shares back to Con Tech by November 18, 2002, Con Tech shall cease to own an absolute majority of the outstanding common stock of C3D. Accordingly, the Company may undergo a change in control and a new person or group of persons may be able to, directly or indirectly, direct the election of a majority of the Company's directors and direct the affairs of the Company. Assuming (i) TIC advances the maximum principal amount (i.e. $20 million) on December 7, 2001, (ii) no amounts are required to be withheld under the Note for federal income tax purposes and (iii) interest accrues thereon from December 7, 2001 until February 5, 2002 (sixty days from December 7 2001), approximately $263,012 of interest would accrue and be payable on the Note on February 7, 2001. Assuming the conversion of the Note on February 7, 2001, TIC would be the beneficial owner of 31,366,891 shares of common stock, as set forth in the table above. Based on calculations made in accordance with Rule 13-3(d) of the Act and there being 95,126,741 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (including, as outstanding for purposes of determining such number of issued and outstanding shares, the 31,366,891 shares of common stock issued), represents approximately 33.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock. If TIC advances the maximum principal amount (i.e. $20 million) and interest were to accrue until November 19, 2002, approximately $1,551,781 of interest would accrue and be payable on the Note on November 19, 2002. Assuming the conversion of the Note November 17, 2002, TIC would be the beneficial owner of 33,361,890 shares of common stock (the "Conversion Shares"), which, based on calculations made in accordance with Rule 13-3(d) of the Act and there being 97,121,740 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (including, as outstanding for purposes of determining such number of issued and outstanding shares, the 33,361,890 shares of common stock issued), represents approximately 34.4% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants Board of Directors and Stockholders of Constellation 3D, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Constellation 3D, Inc. (a development stage company) and its subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2000 and for the period from September 25, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from inception (September 25, 1997) to December 31, 1999. Such statements are included in the cumulative inception (September 25, 1997) to December 31, 2000 totals of statements of operations and cash flows and reflect a net loss of 35% of the related cumulative total. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the period from inception (September 25, 1997) to December 31, 1999 included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Constellation 3D, Inc. (a development stage company) and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from inception (September 25, 1997) through December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. BDO Seidman LLP New York, New York February 21, 2001 (except for Note 11(c) which is as of March 11, 2001 and Note 11(d) which is as of March 29, 2001) F-1 Report of Independent Public Accountants Board of Directors and Stockholders of Constellation 3D, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Constellation 3D, Inc. (a development stage company) and its subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the period from inception (September 25, 1997) through December 31, 1997, and the period from inception (September 25, 1997) through December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Israel, which do not differ in any material respects from auditing standards in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Constellation 3D, Inc. (a development stage company) and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the period from inception (September 25, 1997) through December 31, 1997 and the period from inception (September 25, 1997) through December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has generated no operating revenue to date and will need to raise additional working capital for future development costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. F-8 CONSTELLATION 3D, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Constellation 3D, Inc. and each of its wholly owned subsidiaries ("C3D" or the "Company") after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company was incorporated in Florida on December 27, 1995, under the name Latin Venture Partners, Inc. The name of the Company was changed to C3D Inc. on March 24, 1999 in anticipation of a transaction with Constellation 3D Technology Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("Constellation Tech"). On December 29, 1999, the Company changed its name from C3D Inc. to Constellation 3D, Inc. On October 1, 1999, C3D completed an asset purchase agreement and acquired substantially all the operations of Constellation 3D Technology Limited ("Constellation Tech") for total consideration of 29,250,000 shares of the Company's $.00001 par value common stock, and assumption of substantially all liabilities and obligations of Constellation Tech. Constellation Tech is a related party by virtue of it owning a majority of the shares of the Company's common stock as well as having common directors and officers. The acquisition of Constellation Tech was treated as a reverse acquisition whereby C3D was acquired by Constellation Tech, with the balance sheets being combined using each company's historical cost basis. The results of operations include that of both companies from the date of acquisition forward. The financial statements for the period prior to the date of acquisition are those of Constellation Tech. As the transaction was a reverse acquisition with a public shell with no operations, no pro forma information related to this transaction is provided. As disclosed in the original Form 10-K, Constellation Tech had beneficial ownership of 67.4% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As of December 7, 2001, Constellation Tech currently has the power to vote 26,089,283 shares of common stock of the Company, representing 40.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Please see "Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." The equity section of the balance sheet and the net loss per share of the Company are retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the exchange ratio established in the asset purchase agreement. Accordingly, the 29,250,000 shares of common stock issued by Constellation 3D, Inc. to Constellation Tech in connection with the reverse acquisition have been adjusted to appear on the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) as the 29,250,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) prior to the reverse acquisition. Similarly the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) section has been adjusted to reflect the "issuance" of 11,109,765 shares of common stock, as of the date of the reverse acquisition, when in fact such shares were actually issued Constellation 3D, Inc. prior to the reverse acquisition. The Company has developed what it believes to be a state-of-the-art optical, data storage product that it believes surpasses the physical limits of F-9 two-dimensional memory technology. Research and development work on the Company's technology has been conducted and is being conducted in the United States, Israel, Russia and Ukraine. The Company operates in one business segment. On December 27, 1999, as approved by the requisite number of shares at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, C3D Inc. changed its name to Constellation 3D, Inc. and amended its Articles of Incorporation to (i) increase its authorized common stock, par value $.00001, from 50,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares; and (ii) to increase its authorized preferred stock, par value $.00001, from 0 to 10,000,000 shares. On January 18, 2000, a three-for-one forward split of C3D's Common Stock took effect for shareholders of record as of December 16, 1999, and all per share information for all prior periods have been adjusted accordingly. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Furniture and Equipment - Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed utilizing straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Marketing Costs - The Company expenses the cost of marketing and advertising as incurred. Marketing expense includes a noncash compensation charge of $4,805,671 for the year ended December 31, 2000. (See Note 8) Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company's financial statements or tax return. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided when management determines that the realization of deferred tax assets fails to meet the more likely than not standard imposed by SFAS 109. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties and shareholders approximate fair value because of their immediate or short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt and convertible debt plus the related discount approximates their carrying value because the stated rates of the debt either reflect recent market conditions or are variable in nature. Revenue Recognition - The Company is conducting research and development activities to develop new multi-layer data storage media and currently has no operating revenues. It is the intent of this company to enter into strategic alliances to license its technology to its strategic partners. Research and Development - Costs will be expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been obtained, product design has been completed and a working model has been developed and tested. Foreign Currency Translation - The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation" ("SFAS 52"). The F-10 functional currency of the operations of the Company's subsidiary in Israel is conducted in the U.S. dollar since most of its financing and other activities are in US dollars. Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented in their original amounts. Balances in non-dollar currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non- monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For non-dollar transactions reflected in the statements of operations, the exchange rates at the transaction dates are used. Depreciation expenses are based on historical exchange rates. The resulting translation gains or losses are carried to (income) expense. The Company's subsidiary in Russia maintains accounting records in Russian ruble. The ruble is considered the subsidiary's functional currency. Transactions and balances not already measured in dollars have been re-measured into dollars as applied to entities in highly inflationary economies. Revenues, costs, capital and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars are not material to the consolidated operations of the Company, and accordingly, a statement of comprehensive income (loss) is not presented. Stock-Based Compensation - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and for transactions in which a company acquires goods, financings or services from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments. SFAS 123 also allows companies to account for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," or SFAS 123. The Company elected to follow APB 25 which measures compensation expense for employee stock options as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the Company's stock at the measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire stock. (See Note 8) The values ascribed to restricted stock awards are based on the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant. The fair values ascribed to warrants that are issued in connection with financing arrangements and professional services agreements are amortized over the expected life of the underlying debt or the term of the agreement. Net loss per share - Basic loss per share assumes no dilution, and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, warrants and contingent shares based on the treasury method of computing such effects, and are not included in the calculation of loss per share, as their effect was anti-dilutive. All per share information has been adjusted to reflect the three-for-one stock split declared on December 16, 1999. The assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, as well as the issuance of common stock upon conversion of convertible debt, aggregating 12,428,168 shares at December 31, 2000, would potentially dilute basic earnings per share. Accounting Estimates - The Company's financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of periodic temporary investments of excess cash. The Company places its temporary excess F-11 cash investments in high quality short-term money market instruments through high quality credit financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. A significant portion of the Company's cash is in one institution. Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's financial statement amounts to conform to the current period's presentation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including some types of derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 defining SFAS No. 133's effective date, is effective for the Company on January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 addresses certain practice issues related to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"). FIN 44 applies only to companies that have chosen not to adopt SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for transactions with employees. Among other issues, FIN 44 clarifies (a) the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. To the extent that FIN 44 covers events occurring during the periods after December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying FIN 44 are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. The Company's adoption of FIN 44 did not have a material effect the Company's financial position or results of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued consensus 00-27 "Application of EITF No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratios, to certain Convertible Instruments" ("EITF No. 00-27"). EITF No. 00-27 requires the remeasurement of the original issue discount on convertible debt with characteristics similar to the convertible debt issued by the Company during years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. This accounting change required the value of the warrants issued with the convertible debt to be included in calculating the beneficial conversion value. The adoption of EITF No. 00-27 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or previously reported results of operations. NOTE 2. Development Stage Operations The Company has been in the development stage since its inception. It has had no operating revenues to date, has accumulated losses of $30,918,539, and F-12 will require additional working capital to complete its business development activities and generate revenues adequate to cover operating and further development expenses. The Company believes it can raise additional working capital through future sales of its common stock or subordinated debt in private placement transactions.

(a) Pursuant to a Term Sheet dated October 15, 1998, Agrotec Ltd./Formula Ventures Ltd., loaned $600,000 to Memory Devices (MD) (1996) Ltd., a subsidiary of Constellation 3D Holdings Limited. Pursuant to a Loan Conversion Rights Agreement, dated December 2, 1998, the principal and interest on the $600,000 loan was convertible into preferred shares of the Company at a price equal to 75% of a calculated share value. The share value was the quotient of (i) the lowest valuation of the Company used in a financing of the Company between December 2, 1998 and the conversion date over (ii) the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, on a fully diluted basis. In the event that a financing did not occur, the valuation of the Company, was required to be agreed upon by the parties. The parties agreed upon a conversion price of $1.79. On July 1, 1999, Constellation Tech acquired all the assets of Constellation 3D Holdings Limited, including the stock of Memory Devices (MD)(1996) Ltd. F-14 On September 12, 2000, an aggregate principal of $600,000 plus accrued interest of approximately $81,574 on the debt was converted by Formula Ventures L.P., FV-PEH L.P., and Formula Ventures (Israel) L.P. into 380,000 shares of common stock at the conversion price of $1.79 per share. Since the debt was converted pursuant to the original conversion terms, the Company did not recognize an additional interest expense. (b) In November 11, 1999 the Company issued $500,000 in principal amount of 8% convertible subordinated debentures due October 31, 2001 to Wilbro Nominees Limited ("Wilbro"). The original conversion terms provided that the notes would be converted at the price of the lesser of (A) the average market price of the common stock over a period of twenty (20) trading days preceding any applicable date of conversion (the "Conversion Date") less a discount of 20%, or (B) the average market price of the common stock over a period of twenty (20) days preceding any applicable Conversion Date (such price being referred to herein as the "Initial Conversion Price"), provided that, in the event of (A) above, no discount shall apply unless such average market price of the Common Stock is at least $5.00 per share. On the date of issuance, the Company recorded interest expense of $125,000 for the value ascribed to the beneficial conversion feature. In order to induce Wilbro to convert its debentures into common stock, the Company agreed to: (i) amend the then applicable conversion price, which ranges from $8.68 to $16.77, to $11.00; and (ii) offer Wilbro 15,000 common stock purchase warrants. On October 12, 2000, an aggregate of $500,000 in principal amount and accrued interest of $44,507 of the debentures was converted by Wilbro into 49,500 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $11.00 per share. As a result of the amendment of the conversion price, the Company recognized an additional interest expense of $18,000 based on the excess of the fair value of the common stock transferred in excess of the fair value of the common stock issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. The Company also recognized an addition to paid in capital of stockholders' equity. Wilbro also received one-year warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.1531. The fair value ascribed to the warrants was approximately $35,000. Such amount was recorded as an interest expense and as an addition to paid-in capital of stockholders' equity. (c) On December 24, 1999 the Company issued $1,600,000 in principal amount of 8% subordinated debentures due October 31, 2001 to Winnburn Advisory ("Winnburn"). The original conversion terms provided that the notes would be converted at the price of the greater of (A) the average market price of the common stock over a period of twenty (20) trading days preceding any applicable date of conversion (the "Conversion Date"), or (B) $16.67. In order to induce Winnburn to convert its debentures into common stock, the Company agreed to: (i) amend the then applicable conversion price, $16.67, to $10.1531; and (ii) offer Winnburn 83,048 and 66,439 common stock purchase warrants. On August 23, 2000, an aggregate of $1,600,000 and accrued interest of $86,399 of was converted by Winnburn into 166,097 shares of common stock. As a result of the amendment of the conversion price, the Company recognized an additional interest expense of $650,000 based on the excess of the fair values of the common stock transferred over the fair value of the common stock issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. The Company also recognized an addition to paid-in capital of stockholders' equity. Winnburn also received one-year warrants to purchase 83,048 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.1531 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 66,439 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $14.6656 per share. The fair value ascribed to the warrants was approximately $590,000. Such amount was recorded as interest expense and as an additional paid-in capital of stockholders' equity. F-15 (d) On March 24, 2000, C3D issued a 10% subordinated convertible debenture for the principal amount of $4,000,000 to Sands Brothers Venture Capital Associates LLC ("Sands Brothers VC"). The subordinate convertible debenture can be converted at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $17.65 and expires on September 24, 2001. Sands Brothers VC has the right to demand repayment of all or any portion of the principal amount of the convertible debenture and interest outstanding before the maturity date in the event that C3D receives more than $25,000,000 in gross financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities or a change of control of the Company occurs. C3D granted the subordinate convertible debenture holder certain registration rights with respect to the underlying Common Stock. NOTE 5. Convertible Line of Credit (See Note 8 and 11) On August 23, 2000, the Company entered into a certain Loan Agreement with Constellation 3D Technology Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("Constellation Tech") and an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to which Constellation Tech agreed to open a credit line of up to $6,000,000 for the Company expiring on February 23, 2001. The credit line was amended to extend the availability until December 31, 2001. The interest rate for each withdrawal will be the interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3%. Constellation Tech has the right to convert the loan amount into equity at a price per share of 90% of the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the 12 trading days prior to August 23, 2000, which was $10.72. In connection with this credit line, Constellation Tech received a three- year warrant (the "Signing Warrant') to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which warrant had an exercise price of $11.50 and is exercisable from August 23, 2000 to August 23, 2003. In connection with the credit line, Constellation Tech also had the right to receive a three-year warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock upon each withdrawal made by the Company from this credit line. The exercise price of such warrants is equal to $11.50. The Company withdrew $1,000,000 on August 23, 2000 and therefore received a total of 30,000 warrants on such date. The fair value ascribed to the 30,000 warrants was approximately $117,000 and was be recorded as deferred financing cost and is to be amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the credit line. The Company made no additional withdrawals under the credit line. Up to one year from the Company's last withdrawal from the credit line, Constellation Tech has the right (the "Right'') to purchase up to 103,306 shares of common stock per $1,000,000 of principal extended. The right has an exercise price of $9.648 and the Right may only be exercised if the aggregate exercise price is at least $2,000,000. The Right expires one year from the day of the last withdrawal. The fair value ascribed to the Right was approximately $763,000, and was recorded as deferred financing cost and amortized to interest expense over the term of the credit line. At December 31, 2000, the Company has utilized $1,000,000 of this credit facility. Constellation Tech is a related party. Constellation Tech as of December 7, 2001, has the power to vote 26,089,283 shares of common stock of the Company, representing 40.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. F-16 NOTE 6. Income Taxes At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company has net deferred tax assets of $4,730,000 and $519,000 available to offset future US and foreign source income, respectively, primarily due to net operating loss carryforwards of $2,425,000 and deferred start-up costs of $9,398,000, which begin to expire in 2019. The net operating loss carryforwards may be restricted by the change in ownership rules under internal revenue code section 382. The Company's effective tax rate was estimated at 40%. A 100% valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset as management, due to the uncertainty about its ability to generate taxable income, has yet to establish the recoverability of this asset. The Company recognized current tax expense of $99,414, $63,588 and $3,462 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Tax expense for all periods presented represent Russian and Israeli tax legislation requiring taxes to be provided for cash receipts. NOTE 7. Related Party Transactions The Company retained all key employees under informal agreements during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. These agreements may be cancelled at any time. The expense of these agreements totaled $540,000, $437,500 and $400,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, due to related parties included $91,875 and $190,000, respectively, of unpaid expenses under those agreements. The Company assumed amounts due to a related party for $164,385 at the time of the reverse acquisition on October 1, 1999 (see Note 1), which was paid during the year ended December 31, 2000. On October 29, 1999 and November 18, 1999, the Company borrowed $300,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, from Epicenter Venture Finance Limited ("Epicenter"). The aggregate $1,300,000 loan was unsecured and had an annual interest rate of 10%. The loan was scheduled to mature on the earlier July 31, 2000 or upon the Company securing various levels of financing. Interest amounted to approximately $85,000 and $17,000 during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively. In order to induce Epicenter to convert its loan into common stock, the Company agreed to offer Epicenter: (i) the right to convert the note into common stock at a conversion rate of $10.1531 per share, and (ii) 55,241 common stock purchase warrants. On August 23, 2000, the principal amount of $1,300,000 plus interest of $102,163 on the loan was converted by Epicenter into 138,102 shares of common stock. The shareholder also received one-year warrants to purchase 69,051 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.1531 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 55,241 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $14.6656 per share. The fair value ascribed to the warrants was approximately $490,000. Such amount was recorded as interest expense and as an additional paid-in capital of stockholders' equity. NOTE 8. Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) (See Note 11) For accounting purposes, on December 27, 1998, stockholders of Constellation Tech converted approximately $4,888,537 of stockholder advances F-17 into 3,749,400 shares of Constellation Tech's common stock. Additionally, for accounting purposes, Constellation Tech was recapitalized on December 27, 1998 through the issuance of an additional 25,464,000 shares of common stock to existing shareholders of Constellation Tech. For accounting purposes, after the recapitalization, together with the issuance of 36,000 shares of common stock for debt settlement on April 1, 1999, the number of issued shares of Constellation Tech's common stock amounted to 29,250,000. On October 1, 1999, the Company completed an asset purchase agreement and acquired substantially all the operations of Constellation Tech for total consideration of 29,250,000 shares of the Company's $.00001 par value common stock, and assumption of substantially all liabilities and obligations of Constellation Tech. The 29,250,000 shares of common stock issued by Constellation 3D, Inc. to Constellation Tech in connection with the reverse acquisition have been adjusted to appear on the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) as the 29,250,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) prior to the reverse acquisition. Similarly the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity (deficit) section has been adjusted to reflect the "issuance" of 11,109,765 shares of common stock, as of the date of the reverse acquisition when in fact such shares were actually issued by Constellation 3D, Inc. prior to the reverse acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company issued a total of 10,500,000 shares of Common Stock to Constellation 3D Trust LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Constellation 3D Trust LLC intends to use the shares to raise debt or equity capital and contribute the proceeds thereof to the Company. For the purposes of the Company's consolidated financial statements, the issuance of the 10,500,000 shares of Common Stock are not considered to be issued or outstanding because the Common Stock has remained under the control of the Company and will be cancelled if no financing transaction is completed. On September 15, 2000, 10,000,000 of the shares of Common Stock were cancelled. On March 24, 2000, the Company issued a 10% subordinated convertible debenture for the principal amount of $4,000,000 to Sands Brothers VC. The subordinate convertible debenture can be converted at any time into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $17.65 and expires on September 24, 2001. The market value for the Company's stock on March 24, 2000 was $46.50. The excess of the fair value of the conversion formula over the fair value of the stock was deemed to be a beneficial conversion feature valued at $120,000, which was recorded as interest expense and an increase to additional paid-in capital. Upon closing of the $4,000,000 subordinated convertible debenture to Sands Brothers VC on March 24, 2000, and pursuant to the terms of the agency agreement originally signed on December 1, 1999 (the "Agency Agreement" and "Warrant Agreement"), by and between the Company and Sands Brothers & Co. Ltd. ("Sands Brothers"), the Company issued to Sands Brothers detachable warrants to purchase 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.67 per share and warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.13 per share expiring December 1, 2004. As of the date of settlement, the Company valued the warrants issued to Sands Brothers at an aggregate of $10,137,700 and valued the warrants that Sands Brothers retained at an aggregate of $706,593. The Company granted the warrant holder certain registration rights with respect to the underlying Common Stock and the option to exercise the stock F-18 warrants in lieu of any cash payment in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock that amount to the difference between the market price and the exercise price of the stock warrants. Proceeds from the subordinated convertible debenture issued with the detachable stock purchase warrants are allocated between the debenture and the warrants based on their relative fair values as required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14. The value ascribed to the detachable warrants for accounting purposes was $3,880,000 based on the proceeds of the subordinated convertible debenture to the Company. The $3,880,000 value was recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt. This amount is presented as an addition to paid-in capital of stockholders' deficit and as an offset to the related liability in the accompanying December 31, 2000 balance sheet. On August 17, 2000, the Company entered into a Common Stock Investment Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold to TCO Investment, Inc ("TCO") 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate of $250,000.

The aggregate fair value ascribed to the warrants was $73,391. As an inducement for TCO Investment, Inc to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock, on August 18, 2000, the Company issued Guldborg International and Farpell Inc., the principals of TCO Investment, Inc., five-year warrants to purchase 15,000 and 10,000 shares of the Company common stock, respectively. The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 and expire on August 18, 2005. The aggregate fair value ascribed to the warrants was $190,875. The placement commission and the warrants were accounted for as a cost of financing. Accordingly, the proceeds of the sale were recorded net of the placement commission. On August 18, 2000, the Company granted Blank Rome Comisky & McCauley LLP a warrant to purchase 5,555 shares of the Company's common stock in order to reduce the amount of the Company's outstanding legal fees due to Blank Rome Comisky & McCauley LLP by Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). Blank Rome Comisky & McCauley LLP has served as the Company's legal counsel. The warrant currently is exercisable at a price of $0.001 per share and will terminate on July 31, 2005. On August 23, 2000, the Company entered into the Common Stock Investment Agreement with Halifax Fund, L.P., a private fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, providing for a $5 million equity financing ($4,615,055, net of cost of financing), through a sale of 492,459 shares of the Company's common stock to Halifax Fund, L.P.

In connection with this sale, the Company granted Halifax certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock and the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the above described warrants. The adjustment warrants were issued to the Halifax as an inducement to purchase the 984,918 shares of common stock of the Company and the adjustment warrants were intended to provide Halifax Fund, L.P. certain investment value protection in case the market price of the Company's common stock declined below $11.68. The adjustment warrants were exercisable until September 19, 2005 and had an exercise price of $0.0. The adjustment warrants were exercisable into such number of shares as is derived by subtracting 984,918 from the quotient of (i) 1,150,000 over (ii) the average of the 20 lowest daily trades for a share of common stock during the period starting 15 trading days after the day on which a registration statement covering the initial shares is first declared effective by the commission and ending on the 100th trading day thereafter. All the shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the adjustment warrants were treated as adjustments to the initial investments and were recorded in the stockholders' equity section as a credit to common stock, for the par value of the shares, and a debit to additional paid in capital. In connection with the sale of the foregoing securities to Halifax Fund, L.P., the Company paid placement fees to the Shemano Group and Koor Underwriters and Issuers Ltd.

During December 2000, the Company granted warrants to non-employee consultants who provide services to purchase 375,000 and 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $10.1531 to $14.6656 per share respectively. The warrants to purchase the Company's common stock vest over 12 months and expire in 2003 through 2005. In connection with the issuance, the Company recorded a non-cash expense to general and administrative expenses of $277,880, representing the fair value of the warrants granted, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation expense will be recorded over the vesting period. The following table summarizes information about warrants outstanding at December 31, 2000:

The table does not include adjustment warrants issuable in connection with certain equity financings. F-22 Stock Options On March 8, 1999, certain board members were granted options to purchase up to 525,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.33 per share. These options vested immediately expiring in June 2004. No expense was recognized upon granting of the options as the exercise price was equal to the estimated market value, as evidenced by the sale of 1,359,765 shares of common stock to unrelated third parties completed on March 15, 1999 but not issued until May 15, 1999. On December 7, 2000, the Company received notification of the option holder's intent to exercise 300,000 options on a cashless basis. The Company issued 235,749 common shares. As of December 31, 2000, there were 225,000 options outstanding relating to this grant. On December 27, 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 stock option plan (the "Plan"). The Plan allows the Company to grant both qualified and nonqualified stock options at prices not less than fair market value at date of grant to officers, key employees, directors or anyone who provides services to the Company. A maximum of 4,617,540 shares was approved to be issued under the Plan. As of December 31, 2000, there were 4,468,050 options under this Plan outstanding. Options granted under the Plan expire not more than ten years from the date of grant. Generally, options vest in five years. All stock options issued under the plan have been granted at exercise prices at or above the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. On May 11, 2000 the Company granted options to a non-employee consultant who provided business development services to purchase 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share when the fair value was $14.50. The option to purchase the shares vested on June 30, 2000 and will expire in May 2005. In connection with the issuance, the Company recorded a non-cash compensation charge to operations of $4,293,000, representing the fair value of the issuance, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This amount is included in the marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2000. On August 22, 2000, the Company issued options to purchase 390,000 shares of common stock to Vladimir Schwartz, the Chief Technology Officer, as compensation for services. Of the total grant, 140,000 options vest immediately and 250,000 options vest after one year from the date of the grant. The exercise price is $11.25 per share, which was the market price at the time of grant, and expires on August 22, 2004. The fair market value of the options was $2,563,143. Consistent with APB 25, accounting treatment for employee stock options, the option grant did not result in an accounting charge. On November 9, 2000 the Company granted options to three directors of the Company to purchase 5,000 shares each of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The option to purchase the shares vests on May 26, 2001 and will expire in May 2006. In connection with the issuance, the Company recorded a non-cash compensation expense of $36,321 with an offsetting credit to additional paid in capital, representing the fair value of the issuance. Compensation expense will be recorded over the vesting period. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company granted options to non- employee consultants who provide services to purchase 215,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $6.25 per share. The options to purchase the Company's common stock vests over the next four years and will expire in December 2005. In connection with the issuance, the Company recorded a F-23 non-cash expense to operations of $555,255, representing the fair value of the options granted. The non-cash expense amount is represented as $512,671 in marketing expenses and $42,584 in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000. Compensation expense will be recorded over the vesting period. SFAS No. 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net loss as if compensation cost of the Company's stock option plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 were $6.52 and $4.73 respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999: no dividends yield for any period; expected lives of 1 to 5 years; expected volatility of 80% and 46% respectively; weighted average risk-free interest rates of 6.6% and 5.1% respectively. Under the accounting provisions of FASB Statement 123 for options to employees and directors, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below. There is no effect on pro forma net loss per share for 1998 and for the period from inception (September 25, 1997) to December 31, 1997.

Legal Proceedings (a) On June 9, 2000, Challis International Limited commenced a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against Constellation 3D Technology Limited and the Company. The complaint alleges that Challis entered into several contracts with Constellation Tech or its predecessor-in-interest pursuant to which Constellation Tech agreed to provide Challis with 11.946% of the shares it would receive in the Company. Although none of the contracts upon which Challis bases its claims were with the Company, Challis seeks to hold the Company liable by alleging that the Company is the alter ego of Constellation Tech. Although the Company is not a party to any of the contracts, Challis alleges that since one of the Company's officers signed an appendix to one of the contracts, the Company is therefore directly liable. In addition, Challis alleges that the contracts entitle it to 3,494,205 shares F-25 of the Company's common stock. The complaint seeks an order directing the Company to issue proper certificates to Challis for 3,494,205 shares or, alternatively, the fair market value of the shares, plus any incidental damages. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of the litigation will have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company intends to vigorously to defend this lawsuit. (b) On February 9, 2001, Clearview Capital (UK) Ltd. ("Clearview") commenced a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company entered into a contract with Clearview which provided that for a period of three years commencing October 26, 1999, should financings take place between the Company and a party or affiliate of a party as defined in the contract then the Company would be obligated to pay Clearview cash commissions of 6% of the financings, plus warrants equal to 15% of the financings with an exercise price of 110% of the market. Although the Company was not provided financing by any of the party's included on Clearview's list, Clearview alleges that financing provided by the Halifax Fund, L.P. falls within the parameters of the contract, thereby obligating the Company to pay Clearview a commission. The complaint seeks damages of (i) $600,000 in cash; (ii) warrants to purchase $750,000 of the Company's shares with an exercise price of $12.65 per share; and (iii) warrants to purchase $750,000 of the Company's shares with an exercise price of $14.03 per share. The Company is unable to determine with any certainty the ultimate outcome of the litigation but does not believe that an adverse outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company intends vigorously to defend this lawsuit. (c) On October 20, 2000, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the registration of common shares of stock held by certain security holders of the Company (the "Registration Statement"). On December 22, 2000, the Company received a letter from outside counsel to Sands Brothers & Co., Ltd. ("Sands"), claiming that the Company breached certain alleged agreements with Sands by failing to include in the Registration Statement shares underlying warrants to purchase 3,450,000 shares of the Company's common stock to which Sands claimed it was entitled (the "Alleged Warrants"). Sands claimed that it had been damaged, at a minimum, in the amount of $32,128,125 (less the exercise price) by the Company's alleged failure to register shares underlying the Alleged Warrants. In addition, Sands claimed that the Company breached certain agreements with Sands by failing to compensate Sands for certain financing the Company received from third parties, by failing to pay financial advisory fees allegedly owed to Sands, and by failing to give Sands a right of first refusal on certain third party financing. In the December 22, 2000 letter, Sands demanded: (i) that the shares underlying the Alleged Warrants be included in a registration statement; (ii) that the Company compensate Sands for financing it received from certain investors; (iii) that the Company pay Sands $36,000 in financial advisory fees; and (iv) that the Company pay Sands damages for its alleged failure to abide by the alleged first refusal obligations. The Company contends that Sands has failed to fulfill its obligations to the Company and accordingly is not due the compensation demanded. Because Sands has failed to fulfill their obligations to the Company under agreements between the parties, the Company believes that the claims asserted in their December 22, 2000 letter are without merit. Although there can be no assurance that the dispute will not result in litigation, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company intends to vigorously defend any lawsuit filed by Sands. (d) On January 15, 2001, the Company received a letter from outside counsel to High Tech Investments Corp. Ltd. ("High Tech"), demanding, among other things, that the Company pay $5 million to High Tech and issue to High Tech shares of stock in an amount equal to two percent of the outstanding stock in the Company. According to High Tech, it is owed these amounts based on alleged F-26 agreements between the Company and High Tech that were signed in October 1999, according to which High Tech would market the Company in Japan and would promote the Company's business relationship with various Japanese companies. If High Tech's demands are not met, High Tech has threatened "to exercise all legal means available to it to cause the agreements to be performed" and to seek to recover damages for the Company's purported non-performance. The Company has maintained the position that High Tech has no right to payment under the purported agreements and intends to vigorously oppose any attempt by High Tech to enforce these purported agreements. On March 7, 2001, the Company filed a declaratory judgment suit in the Supreme Court for the State of New York seeking a declaration that the purported agreements with Hi-Tech are not valid contracts and that Hi-Tech is not entitled to any payment from the Company. NOTE 11. Subsequent Events (a) On January 30, 2001, at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, the shareholders approved the redomicile of the Company's place of incorporation from Florida to Delaware by merging the Company with and into its newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary Constellation 3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Subsidiary"). On February 8, 2001, Articles of Merger were filed with the Florida Secretary of State and a Certificate of Merger was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, which formally resulted in the redomicile of the Company to the State of Delaware. As a result of the redomicile of the Company, the par value was adjusted from $0.001 per share of common stock to a par value of $0.00001 and all per share information for all prior periods have been adjusted accordingly. Further, the Company's charter no longer authorized the issuance of 10 million shares of preferred stock following the Delaware re- domiciliation. (b) On February 14, 2001, the Koor investors exercised their adjustment warrants and were issued warrants to purchase an additional 243,152 shares of common stock for no additional consideration for a period of 60 days. On the same day, another stockholder exercised their adjustment warrants and were issued an additional 19,704 warrants to purchase shares of common stock for no additional consideration for a period of 60 days. (c) On March 11, 2001, the line of credit with Constellation Tech was amended such that the $6,000,000 would be available until December 31, 2001, with a maximum limit of $1,000,000 per withdrawal for any consecutive 30-day period. (d) On March 29, 2001, the Company received a firm offer from an affiliate of a major investor for an equity credit line of at least $25 million which is available to the Company at the Company's option through April 30, 2001.
