(a) Business Development. OZO Diversified Automation, Inc. ("OZO" or the "Company") was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on October 13, 1983. Since its formation, the Company has designed, manufactured and marketed computer controlled equipment for electronics industry applications. The initial products of the company were Computer Numeric Controlled ("CNC") workstations for the fabrication of prototype printed circuit boards ("PCBs"). The Company's workstations are utilized in four application areas of the electronics industry: electronics assembly companies, product designers, printed circuit board fabricators and test fixture fabricators. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company had net sales of $2,166,763, compared to $1,736,938 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. (b) Business of Issuer. OZO manufactures and markets computer aided manufacturing workstations that are used by electronics industry manufacturers. The workstations are CNC equipment, that is, equipment controlled by computer software. The software developed by the Company controls the operation and function of the machinery hardware which is also developed by the Company. OZO's hardware and software products enable electronics assembly companies to rout or depanel PCBs from panels that are produced on a surface mount assembly line, product designers to produce prototype PCBs, printed circuit board fabricators to drill and rout PCBs, and test fixture fabricators to drill and rout test fixtures. (1) Products. The Company's products are packaged to address specific market niches of the electronics equipment market. Each workstation includes an OZO machine, associated spindles for the machine, a computer controller and software. The Company's products include the spindles for each of its workstation products. Drilling, routing, and mechanical etch spindles are produced by the Company. The drill spindle is an automatic tool change spindle. The router head enables the product to depanel PCBs from a panel or to cut printed circuit boards to final size and shape. The mechanical etch head mills the outline of the circuitry of a PCB board into standard copper-clad material enabling customers to quickly fabricate prototypes without the need for chemistry. The Company's Model 18, Model 24, Model 16SI, Model 18 HS, and Large Format machines are marketed under the PanelMASTER, PanelMASTER HS, PanelROUTER SI, FixtureMASTER, Large Format FixtureMASTER, EtchMASTER, and LabMASTER product designations. The Company's other product is the Model 2-24, which is a two spindle drilling machine for medium volume producers of PCBs. The Company's Model 2-24, Large Format, Model 16SI, and Model 18 HS products utilize a servo motor drive system designed by the Company. The Company's Model 18 and Model 24 products utilize a stepper motor drive system designed by the Company. The Company manufactures depaneling equipment for automated assembly lines that produce assembled printed circuit boards. This is called in-line equipment, equipment that is incorporated into an automated assembly line. The Company offers customized solutions to in-line depaneling equipment customers by producing customized fixturing for machines and integrating machines into assembly lines. The Company also manufactures stand alone depaneling equipment, that is, the equipment is off-line and not incorporated into an automated assembly line. The Company's Model 16 PanelROUTER SI can be utilized as an in-line or off-line system. The Company's PanelMASTER and PanelMASTER HS are off-line systems. Manufacturing and Assembly of Products The Company fabricates some machined parts at its in-house machine shop and contracts with independent machine shops, sheet metal suppliers, paint and anodize shops, and electronic manufacturers for various parts and services. Off-the-shelf components are purchased from various industrial suppliers. Final assembly, testing and inspection of the finished systems are done by the Company's employees at its facility. During 1996 a modified drive motor was a long-lead time item purchased from a single source of supply, and the Company carried an inventory of this component. In 1997 the Company intends to replace its drive motors with a more readily available model which can be easily obtained from numerous sources. Accordingly, the Company is not dependent on one or a few major suppliers. (2) Distribution. The Company utilizes in-house sales engineers for direct sales in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, a limited number of manufacturer representative organizations in the United States, and international distributors covering Europe, the United Kingdom, Brazil, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Peoples Republic of China, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates. The Company has a policy of supporting its international distributor base, providing regular service, training visits, individualized sales literature and support for trade shows held within their respective territories. (3) Status of Product. In 1996 the Company continued the introduction of its new line of premium routing machines, namely the Model 16 PanelROUTER SI and the Model 18 PanelMASTER HS. During the year, both machines continued to gain acceptance in the marketplace, with sales of four PanelMASTER HS units and six PanelROUTER SI systems being completed by year end. Additionally, two more of each machine were sold and shipped in the first quarter 1997. While sales of the premium routing equipment were slower than desired during the year, the Company anticipates that the projected growth of the electronics industry will sustain a strong demand for these products through 1997 and beyond. Management is confident that the depaneling technology represented by these machines will remain an important aspect of the manufacture of printed circuit boards and related electronic subsystems. The depaneling market niche continued to be the Company's most important United States business segment in 1996, and in 1997 it will remain a significant part of the Company's overall sales strategy. While the Company remains focused on sales of its premium depaneling equipment to facilitate its strategic growth initiatives, the demand for its traditional drilling and routing machines also remains strong. The Company continues to sell its lower tier systems to test fixture fabricators and small printed circuit board facilities in the United States. Internationally, test fixture fabricators, small printed circuit board facilities, and prototype operations are a consistent market for the Company's Model 18, Model 24, and Model 2-24 products. (4) Competition. The Company competes in four areas of the equipment market for the electronics industry. The four areas are: depaneling equipment, low to medium volume bare board drilling and routing equipment, test fixture drilling and routing equipment, and prototyping equipment. The Company has identified two U.S. competitors, who are manufacturers of depaneling equipment, and two foreign competitors. All of the competitors are divisions of companies larger than OZO and produce revenues from various products. The Company believes that it competes favorably in the depaneling equipment market. The Company believes that its ability to continue to compete will depend upon its ability to produce competitively priced full featured equipment for the off-line depaneling equipment market and upon its ability to produce customized solutions for the in-line depaneling equipment market. The Company estimates that there are twenty competitors worldwide who manufacture drilling and routing equipment. The Company believes that it competes favorably only in the low to medium volume drilling equipment market and in the test fixture drilling application market. The Company's drilling equipment customers are predominantly small businesses, who prefer the Company's products over more expensive products. The Company has identified one U.S. competitor and one foreign competitor who manufacture printed circuit board prototyping equipment. The Company believes that it competes favorably in this market for customers seeking full function equipment, but cannot compete with single function lower cost prototyping equipment. While other competitors supplying products necessary for the development, production, and depaneling of printed electronic circuit boards exist or may enter the market, the Company anticipates that its specialized products will continue to find acceptance. Presently, however, the Company's relatively small size may give competitors with established reputations and greater marketing capability and financial resources an advantage in the marketplace. (5) Raw Materials. The Company procures parts and raw materials from a broad base of suppliers, and does not rely on one or a few major vendors for critical components. Most materials purchased by the Company are of-the-shelf items. (6) Customer Dependence. The Company is not dependent on one or a few major customers. (7) Patents, Trademarks and Licenses. The Company has not sought patent protection for the hardware it has developed and presently considers certain aspects thereof to be proprietary to the Company protected by its trade secrets. The Company has made only a limited search of existing patents to determine the extent to which such proprietary protection may have been available or whether the Company's products infringe on patents held by others. A claim against the Company for possible infringement of a patent was made in 1994 and the Company has executed a License Agreement with the unaffiliated claimant. Royalties were paid in 1995 under this License Agreement. The Company is unaware of any other claims or proprietary rights of others on which the Company's products may be deemed to infringe. As additional developments of the Company's products and proprietary information occur, the Company intends to pursue the appropriate protection. Should products of the Company be deemed to infringe on patents held by others, the Company would be subject to the risk of litigation, expense of licensing rights to use such proprietary technology, or other adverse results. Copyright protection for the Company's proprietary software, which is a key component of the operation of the Company's workstation systems, has been acquired by the Company. Copyright protection for the Company's proprietary stepper motor software was acquired on May 26, 1988. Copyright protection for the Company's servo motor software was acquired by the Company on October 27, 1994. (8) Government Approval. The Company is not subject to any government approval for its products. (9) Government Regulation. The Company has no knowledge of impending government regulation on its business. (10) Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the fiscal years ending December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were approximately $159,570 and $164,757 respectively. Ongoing projects in 1997 include automation enhancements for the PanelMASTER HS and PanelROUTER SI, software upgrades for all products, speed and efficiency improvements on Model 18 and Model 24 machines, completion and refinement of an industrial vision system, and a spindle optimization and redesign program. The Company does not receive funding from other parties to conduct research and development, except in specific cases where U.S. government NSF or ARPA grants may be awarded. The Company received no grants in 1995 or 1996. (11) Environmental Regulation. Since its inception, the Company has not made any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities and the Company does not expect to make any such expenditures during the current or forthcoming fiscal year. The Company believes that it is in full compliance with all federal, state, and local environmental regulations. (12) Employees. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 18 full-time employees and one part-time employee. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES For the duration of 1996, the Company continued to lease approximately 6,440 square feet of office and production space in Denver, Colorado. The monthly lease obligation was $3,050 per month. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had reached an agreement in principle to acquire an additional 3,400 square feet of contiguous space to facilitate an expansion of its manufacturing area. This agreement became effective on March 1, 1997, and the combined space as of this date was approximately 9,040 square feet (approximately 400 square feet of non-contiguous storage space was exited once the agreement to acquire the adjacent space was executed). As of March 1, 1997, the Company's lease obligation on all space was extended for three years, through February 28, 2000. The current monthly lease obligation, as of March 1, 1997, is $4,168 per month. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject as of the date of this report and there were no such proceedings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report to a vote of the Company's security holders. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS (a) Market Information.

There are no contractual restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995 Results of Operations For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, sales of the Company's products increased to $2,166,763, a 24.7% improvement over sales of $1,736,938 recorded in 1995. The increase in revenues was due in part to the continued demand for the Company's traditional multi-purpose drilling machines, combined with increased market acceptance of the Company's new PanelMASTER HS and PanelROUTER SI workstations. Introduced in 1995 and 1994 respectively, the PanelMASTER HS and PanelROUTER SI continue to gain favor in the electronics industry, where the demand for custom depaneling equipment continues to grow. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company had sold four PanelMASTER HS standalone units and six in-line PanelROUTER SI systems. While sales for fiscal year 1996 increased 24.7% over the prior period, the cost of goods sold also increased 25.1% to $1,314,209, from $1,050,768 in 1995. Consequently, the gross profit margins remained substantially the same at 39.3% of total revenues in 1996 compared to 39.5% of total revenues in 1995. In terms of the foreign and domestic breakdown of sales, the Company experienced growth in both sectors during 1996. Domestic sales as of December 31, 1996 were $914,725, a 29.5% increase compared to $706,441 for the same period in 1995. International revenues also increased by 17.2%, with exported sales accounting for $945,000 versus $806,000 in 1995. Parts and service revenue accounted for the remaining sales of $305,167, or 14.1% of total revenues. This area recorded sales of $224,497 in 1995, or 13% of total revenues. International sales are an integral part of the Company's strategic sales objective, and the Company is reliant upon its foreign distributors to produce revenues in these areas. In 1996, approximately 71% of International sales were generated in the Far East (Asian and Pacific Rim countries). International and Domestic sales on new equipment were comprised of nearly equal proportions in 1996, with 49.2% of the revenues coming from exports and 50.8% of sales originating from Domestic sources. This is compared to International and Domestic sales of 46% and 54% respectively, in 1995. As in past years, there are many factors that impair the Company's ability to reasonably predict the future sales potential of foreign markets. Exchange rate variations, policies of local governments regarding import duties or trade restrictions on U.S. produced equipment, and fluctuations of local economies, may affect the Company's ability to sustain revenues internationally. Similarly, these same uncertainties limit the predictability of sales projections in foreign markets. Nevertheless, the Company remains equally dependent upon both the Domestic and International sectors for maintaining its revenue base from year to year. Results of operations improved to a loss of $80,832 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, from a loss of $219,848 for the same period in 1995. Although net earnings continued to be negative in 1996, much of the unfavorable performance can be attributed to followup service requirements on the initial PanelROUTER SI inline systems. Due to the complexity of the applications, and unforeseen upgrades and enhancements which were implemented at the Company's expense, the profitability of the initial machines was not as predicted. Subsequently, the Company incurred greater than anticipated warranty costs for post installation support of several of the PanelROUTER SI's built in 1996. While price increases effected in January 1996 helped to reduce the losses on these machines, the equipment was still sold at a discount in order to gain entrance to a highly competitive marketplace. During the course of the year, as the performance and reliability of the PanelROUTER SI improved, and as the product gained acceptance in the marketplace, the prices that the Company was able to charge for this equipment increased to a level that is consistent with similar competitive products. In the area of operating expenses, general and administrative costs remained nearly even at $231,127 in 1996, compared to $232,536 for the same period in 1995. As a percentage of sales, the general and administrative costs accounted for 10.7% of total revenues in 1996, compared to 13.4% in 1995. The Company continues to focus on expense control as a requisite to facilitating a profitable recovery in 1997. Marketing and sales costs remained comparable to the previous period, up only 3% to $497,575 in 1996 versus $482,849 as recorded in 1995. On a percentage basis, marketing and sales costs declined to 23.0% of total sales in 1996, compared to 27.8% of total sales in 1995. The slight improvement can be attributed to the mix of commission payments associated with products being sold by geographical region (i.e., commission rates for international distributors being different than those for manufacturer's representatives who sell, but do not service, equipment in the United States). Research and Development costs decreased slightly in 1996 to $159,570, down 3.1% from $164,757 in 1995. The research and development activities in 1996 focused primarily on refinements related to the new PanelMASTER HS and the PanelROUTER SI. This included design enhancements on inline fixturing and automation, as well as software upgrades to improve control of the automated assemblies. Other R&D projects included the upgrade of spindle driver electronics, servo driver and amplifier reliability improvements, and software enhancements for the Company's earlier generation of drilling and routing machines. On balance, the improvement in expense control in 1996 occurred in all three major operating expense categories: general and administrative expense, marketing expense, and research and development expense. Table 1 below illustrates the breakdown of the major expense categories as a percentage of net sales.
Table 1 1996 % 1995 % Net Sales $2,166,763 100.0% $1,736,938 100.0% Cost of Sales $1,314,209 60.7% $1,050,768 60.5% ---------- ------ ---------- ------ Gross Profit $ 852,554 39.3% $ 686,170 39.5% G & A Expense $ 231,127 10.7% $ 232,536 13.4% Marketing $ 497,575 23.0% $ 482,849 27.8% R & D Expense $ 159,570 7.4% $ 164,757 9.5% ---------- ------ ---------- ------ Total $ 888,272 41.0% $ 880,142 50.7% EBIT $ (35,718) (1.6%) $ (193,972) (11.2%) Interest Expense $ (45,114) (2.1%) $ (25,876) (1.5%) Net Loss $ (80,832) (3.7%) $ (219,848) (12.7%)
Liquidity and Capital Resources In April 1996 the Company borrowed $100,000 in short term debt from affiliates of the investment banking firm of Barber and Bronson Incorporated (The"April 1996 Loan"). The April 1996 Loan was secured in an effort to provide working capital needed to facilitate an expansion of the Company's business base, and to provide the funding necessary to build larger automated inline depaneling systems. The funding was an important element of the Company's efforts to increase sales, as demonstrated by an actual gain in revenues of 24.7%. The April 1996 Loan for $100,000 was secured at an interest rate of 12%, and was scheduled to mature on September 30, 1996. There were also 100,000 warrants attached to the debt offering which are exercisable at $1.00 per share. As a result of the Company's cash constrained operating condition in third quarter, the Company was unable to repay the April 1996 Loan in a timely manner, and the repayment date was renegotiated. Actual repayment of the $100,000 and all accrued interest occurred on October 28, 1996. As a late payment penalty, and as part of the overall resolution, the Company agreed to pay interest at 12% for the duration of the delinquency period, and conveyed an additional 15,000 warrants (exercisable at $0.75 per share) to the holders of the April 1996 Loan. In June 1996 the Company secured a second short term loan from an an affiliate of Barber and Bronson Incorporated for $40,000. The purpose of this loan was to provide interim financing in lieu of payment from a customer who failed to remit funds within the terms allowed under the purchase agreement. The customer did remit funds shortly thereafter, and the loan was repaid (principal and interest) in July 1996. This loan carried an interest rate of 12%, with a maturity date not to exceed September 23, 1996. No warrants were attached to this particular debt offering. For short term cash and credit requirements, the Company continues to use the credit revolver established in July 1995 through its local bank. The revolving line of credit continues to be used to cover short term cash needs, and the maximum credit available remains at $30,000. The credit facility remains in force at the time of this filing. Efforts will be made in 1997 to expand the credit limit available to the Company. Also, as disclosed in Item 12 and elsewhere, in fourth quarter 1996 the President and Chief Executive Officer made a series of loans to the Company in an effort to provide short term working capital for projects and to stabilize cash flow. The outstanding loan balance at the end of 1996 was $84,500. In early January 1997, this balance was subsequently reduced to below $25,000. Refer to Note 11 (Related Party Transactions) for additonal details of this loan. The Company retired three significant debt obligations in fourth quarter of 1996. In addition to retiring the April 1996 Loan (as described above), the Company also retired a $50,000 short term loan from its local bank, as well as a $45,000 loan from a customer. The Company will continue its efforts to remediate, consolidate, and retire its debt obligations into the next fiscal year. The Company's cash position remained substantially the same at the end of 1996 compared to 1995. Cash as of December 31,1996 was at $3,111, down 1.6% from $3,162 as recorded at the end of 1995. Inventories decreased by $117,971 as of December 31, 1996. The year end inventory for 1996 was at $388,425, down 23.3% from the year end inventory noted on December 31, 1995. The change in inventory is a result of machine builds and the timing of orders undergoing assembly at the end of each fourth quarter. The comparison does not necessarily reflect any material change in the operating performance of the Company. Total Assets increased 14.4% or $109,282 in 1996. The increase was primarily in two accounts, new Equipment Leased and Accounts Receivable. Accounts Receivable increased a substantial 44.2%, however the sales to receivable collection ratio actually declined. In 1996, the days collection period for average receivables was 36.8 days. In 1995 it was 38.3 days. The new equipment dollar increase of $180,626 was for new production equipment to increase production capacity. Total Liabilities increased 22.3% or $183,114 in 1996. The increased financing was again primarily from two accounts, Long Term Capitalized Leases and a Note Payable to a related party. Because of the 1996 operating losses, liability financing was more than asset growth by $73,832. In terms of Current Liabilities, Accounts Payable increased 11.5% to $243,246 on December 31, 1996. The Company made significant progress in 1996 with the continued introduction of its upper tier products, namely the PanelMASTER HS and the PanelROUTER SI. During the course of the year, the Company sold four PanelMASTER HS's and six PanelROUTER SI's, with two more of each model being shipped in the first quarter of 1997. Management believes that the market acceptance phase has progressed satisfactorily, and the prospects for receiving additional orders for the premium depaneling equipment is favorable at this time. In addition to the positive forecast, Management also believes that various re-engineering activities undertaken in the manufacturing area in fourth quarter 1996, will begin to show benefits in 1997. These re-engineering activities include: reductions in cycle times for equipment fabrication, substantial equipment upgrades in the machine shop, rapid response procurement and inventory procedures, quality defect reduction programs, performance enhancement projects for mechanical assemblies, electronics, and software, and cost containment /waste reduction projects throughout all levels of production. In addition, significant re-engineering projects have also been implemented within the administrative groups. As a result of these strategic initiatives, the favorable forecast for 1997, and a strong backlog through second quarter 1997, Management believes that the Company can continue as a going concern. Looking forward, the Company intends to fund its current operations from a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, existing lines of credit, potential new lines of credit or equity financing. Although these sources of capital are expected to fund the Company's current operations through December 31, 1997, unless the Company returns to profitability, or develops these additional equity or debt sources of financing, there would be a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operations and business prospects of the Company. The Company has no arrangements in place for such equity or debt financing and no assurance can be given that such financing will be available at all or on terms acceptable to the Company. Any additional equity or debt financing may involve substantial dilution to the interests of the Company's shareholders as well as warrantholders. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funds to satisfy its cash requirements, it will be forced to curtail operations, dispose of assets or seek extended payment terms from its vendors. There can be no assurances that the Company would be able to reduce expenses or successfully complete other steps necessary to continue as a going concern. Such events would materially and adversely affect the value of the Company's equity securities. Backlog As of March 28, 1997, the Company's backlog of orders was $693,000, compared to $630,000 as of March 29,1996. The previous backlog was $380,000 on March 21, 1995. ITEM 7.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Transactions With Management and Others and Certain Business Relationships. On September 23, 1996 the Company initiated a significant change in management by installing David J. Wolenski as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Wolenski joined the Company following a fourteen year career with Schuller International, Inc. (formerly Manville Corp.) where he held positions in research, engineering, business development, quality assurance, and manufacturing. He succeeds Marjorie Zimdars-Orthman, who held the position of President and CEO since 1992. Ms. Zimdars-Orthman resigned from the position in order to assume a technical role within the Company and to address operational improvements needed within the Company's manufacturing division. Ron. C. Carpenter assumed the position of Chief Financial Officer. Concurrent with Mr. Wolenski assuming the position of President and CEO, he was also appointed Director following the expansion of the OZO Board to four members. On September 23, 1996, the OZO Board of Directors consisted of Marjorie Zimdars-Orthman, Chairman of the Board; Ron C. Carpenter, Secretary-Treasurer; David W. Orthman, and David J. Wolenski. Following his appointment as President, Mr. Wolenski negotiated the resolution of the April 1996 Loan which was secured through affiliates of Barber and Bronson Incorporated. The resolution involved the repayment of $100,000 in short term debt which was due October 1, 1996. The renegotiated terms provided for a lump sum payment of the principal in its entirety, as well as all accrued interest, on or before November 1, 1996. This transaction was completed on October 28, 1996, and the April 1996 Loan was subsequently retired. Following those negotiations, and as a part of the overall resolution reached with holders of the April 1996 Loan, Marjorie Zimdars-Orthman and Ron C. Carpenter resigned from the Board. Their resignations were effective immediately. At that time, the remaining directors, Messrs. Wolenski and David Orthman, elected Scott E. Salpeter and Alvin L. Katz, to fill the resulting vacancies. Both Mr. Salpeter and Mr. Katz are affiliated with Barber and Bronson Incorporated. As of those actions, the Board of Directors consist of Alvin L. Katz, Chairman, David W. Orthman, Secretary-Treasurer, Scott E. Salpeter, and David J. Wolenski, President. Also, in fourth quarter 1996, the President and Chief Executive Officer made a series of loans to the Company in an effort to provide short term working capital for projects and to stabilize cash flow. The unsecured loans were made to the Company at a financing rate that was comparable to that which could have been obtained through outside sources. This action was undertaken with the approval and concurrence of the Board of Directors. As a result of this transaction, the outstanding loan balance at the end of 1996 was $84,500. This balance was subsequently reduced to below $25,000 in January 1997. ITEM 13.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Ozo Diversified Automation, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 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 generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ozo Diversified Automation, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. This factor, and others discussed in Note 2, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. F - 8 OZO DIVERSIFIED AUTOMATION, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION Ozo Diversified Automation, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on October 13, 1983. The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of computer controlled manufacturing and machining equipment predominately to entities in North America and the Pacific Rim. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. WARRANTY COSTS The Company provides a warranty on products sold for a period of one year from the date of sale. Estimated warranty costs are charged to cost of sales at the time of sale. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization of assets under capital lease is provided by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of three to five years. Expenditures for replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation expense and amortization of assets under capital lease was $30,737 and $16,466 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Expenditures for the research and development of new products are charged to operations as they are incurred. F - 9 OZO DIVERSIFIED AUTOMATION, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred in conjunction with the Company's sale of 9% convertible notes (Note 5). These fees and costs are being amortized over the term of the respective loans on a basis which approximates the interest method. Accumulated amorti-zation of deferred financing costs was $24,380 at December 31, 1996. Unamortized deferred financing fees are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date. INCOME TAXES The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, the deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. LOSS PER SHARE Loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants and convertible debt, are not considered in the calcula-tion of net loss per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive. CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. F - 10 OZO DIVERSIFIED AUTOMATION, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued. This new standard defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. This statement gives entities a choice of recognizing related compensation expense by adopting the new fair value method or to continue to measure compensation using the intrinsic value approach under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25. The Company has elected to Utilize APB No. 25 for measurement; and will, pursuant to SFAS No. 123, disclose supplementally the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share of using the new measurement criteria. NOTE 2 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $80,832 for 1996 and has accumulated a deficit of $1,363,666 through December 31, 1996. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence. The Company's financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the carrying value of assets or the F - 11 OZO DIVERSIFIED AUTOMATION, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED) amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company's ability to establish itself as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its financing require-ments and ultimately to achieve profitable operations. Management is continuing its programs of cost control and containment; installing new production and budgetary controls in all aspects of operations; expanding its marketing efforts, especially on new products, and pursuing additional financing from outside sources. Management believes that these actions presently being taken to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity to continue as a going concern. NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES Inventories at December 31, 1996 consist of the following:

1996 1995 Pacific Rim $ 535,000 $ 666,000 South America 155,000 95,000 Asia 140,000 45,000 Europe 115,000 - --------- --------- $ 945,000 $ 806,000

These carryforwards and credits are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. The $287,000 tax benefit of the loss carryforward and tax credits has been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Of the total tax benefit, $21,000 is attributable to 1996. F - 16 OZO DIVERSIFIED AUTOMATION, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) Temporary differences between the time of reporting certain items for financial and tax reporting purposes, primarily from using different methods of reporting depreciation costs and warranty and vacation accruals, are not considered significant by management of the Company. NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. Credit risk with respect to these receivables is generally diver- sified due to the number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 1996 the President of the Company loaned the Company an aggregate $168,800 under an unsecured line of credit note, due November 16, 1996 with interest at prime plus 2.5%.

The Principal Sum shall bear interest, on the amount due and owing on a daily basis, at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%). If the Principal Sum is not paid in accordance with this Note, the Principal Sum shall bear interest beginning on the date of default and continuing thereafter until paid in full, at the highest rate permitted by law ("Default Rate"). The acceptance of such payment at the Default Rate shall not constitute a waiver of such default. Interest chargeable under this Promissory Note (the "Note") shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed. The entire Principal Sum with all accrued interest shall be due on September 30, 1996. This Note is secured pursuant to the Security Agreement from Maker to Payee of even date herewith and attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Security Agreement"). This Note is one of a series of Promissory Notes. The terms and conditions of all of the Promissory Notes shall be identical in all respects, except that the principal sum of each of the Promissory Notes (and, as such, the amount of interest payable) may differ. All Promissory Notes of this series rank equally and ratably without priority over one another. All payments of interest, principal, or both, are payable at 2101 West Commercial Boulevard, Suite 1500, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309, or at such other place as the Payee may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, which shall be legal tender in payment for all debts, public and private, at the time of payment. The privilege is reserved and given to prepay without penalty the indebtedness evidenced hereby, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. All such partial prepayments shall be applied first against the payment of all interest accrued and unpaid to the date of such prepayment, and then against the Principal Sum. The failure of the Maker to pay when due any installment of principal or interest on this Note shall constitute a default under this Note, whereupon the owner or holder hereof may, at its option, exercise any or all rights, powers, remedies afforded, including the right to declare the unpaid balance of Principal Sum and accrued interest on this Note at once mature and payable. If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, by suit or otherwise, or to protect any security for its payment, the undersigned will pay all costs of collection and litigation, together with reasonable attorneys' fees incurred at both trial and appellate levels. The laws of the State of Florida shall govern and the proper venue and jurisdiction shall be Dade County, Florida. Payor expressly waives protest, demand, presentment and notice of dishonor, and agrees that this Note may be extended, in whole or in part, without limit as to the number of such extensions or the number of periods thereof and without affecting the liability thereon. Each of the provisions of this Note is and shall be deemed to be severable; and in the event that any provision hereof be deemed to be invalid for any reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court, said provision shall be deemed to be stricken herefrom, and this Note shall be construed as not containing such provision. The validity or lack thereof of such provision shall not effect the validity of any other provision hereof, and any and all other provisions which are otherwise lawful and valid shall remain in full force and effect. This Note may be assigned or transferred by Payee but shall not be assigned or transferred by Maker without the written consent of Payee. The word undersigned as used herein shall be considered to mean and include all makers and endorsers hereof. Words used in the plural herein shall include the singular, as the context may require.

If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Holders of a majority of the Warrants or the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Warrants shall give notice to the Company requesting that the Company file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement relating to the Common Stock underlying such Warrants issued or issuable upon exercise thereof (the "Registration Statement"), the Company shall promptly give written notice of such proposed Registration Statement to the Holders of such Warrants or Common Stock, and to any subsequent permissible transferee of any of the Warrants or Common Stock (at the address of such persons appearing on the books of the Company or its transfer agent) which notice shall offer to include the Common Stock underlying such Warrants issuable or issued upon exercise thereof in the requested Registration Statement. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, file and use its best efforts to cause to become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Registration Statement covering such of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants issuable or issued on exercise of the Warrants as the Company has been requested to register for disposition by the Holders thereof, to the extent required to permit the public sale or other public disposition thereof by the Holders. The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to remain effective for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of the Registration Statement or such earlier date as all of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants issuable or issued upon exercise thereof have been sold or the Warrants expire (the "Effective Period"). The Company shall pay all costs, expenses, disbursements, and fees, including fees and expenses of counsel and accountants for the Company, and the expenses of preparing, printing and filing under the Act and of furnishing copies of the prospectus, in connection with the Registration Statement and also including all costs, expenses, disbursements, and fees required to keep such Registration Statement current for the Effective Period, but excluding costs or expenses of the Holders' counsel, accountants or other professionals retained by the Holders and underwriting discounts and expenses attributable to the Company's securities held by the Holders. 4. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company covenants that, during the period this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. This Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. 5. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant, as such, shall not entitle the Holder to any rights of a stockholder of the Company, until the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance with Section 2 hereof. 6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. 6.1 The number and kind of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, and the Company agrees to provide notice upon the happening of certain events, as follows: a. If the Company is recapitalized through the subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased or reduced, as of the record date for such recapitalization, in the same proportion as the increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such recapitalization shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date. b. If the Company declares a dividend on its Common Stock payable in shares of its Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of its Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date. c. If the Company effects a general distribution to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of the Company's dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, of any shares of its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock), the Company shall give written notice to the Holder of any such general distribution at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before the record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such general distribution, except as otherwise provided herein. d. If the Company offers rights or warrants (other than the Warrant) to all holders of its Common Stock which entitle them to subscribe to or purchase additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, the Company shall give written notice of any such proposed offering to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before such record date. e. In the event an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder is made under subsection a. or b. above, and such an event does not occur, then any adjustments in the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant that were made in accordance with such subsection a. or b. shall be re-adjusted to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares as were in effect immediately prior to the record date for such an event. f. If and whenever the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Subsection 6.1 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale (except for the issuance or deemed issuance of securities in a transaction described in paragraph g. of this Subsection 6.1), then immediately upon such issuance or sale the Exercise Price will be reduced to an Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the issuance or sale plus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder that the maximum aggregate amount of consideration receivable by the Company upon such issuance or sale would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding, as hereinafter determined, immediately after such issuance or sale. g. The following securities or transactions shall be excluded from the operation of paragraph f. of this Subsection 6.1: (i) The existence and any exercise of any option, convertible promissory note, warrant, or other right to purchase Common Stock, that is outstanding on the date hereof; and (ii) Any grant or exercise of options for Common Stock granted under the Company's stock option plans, in existence as of the date hereof, provided said grant or exercise is not effectuated as a result of any amendment to such plans subsequent to the date hereof, with an exercise price equal to at least the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant; and (iii) Any shares issued to Advanced Controls in connection with the proposed stock exchange agreement between the Company and Advanced Controls. h. If the Company in any manner grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called "Rights" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities"), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Rights, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Rights will be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of this Section, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities" will be determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Rights, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of all such Rights, plus, in the case of Rights that relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the exercise of such Rights or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Rights. Except as otherwise provided in Subsections j. and k. below, no adjustment of the Exercise Price will be made when Convertible Securities are actually issued upon the exercise of such Rights or when Common Stock is actually issued upon the exercise of such Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. i. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share, as determined below. For the purposes of this Section, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" will be determined by dividing (i) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Subsections j. and k. below, no adjustment of the Exercise Price will be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 6, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price will be made by reason of such issuance or sale. j. If (a) the purchase price provided for in any Rights, (b) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or (c) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, changes at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions that are designed to protect against dilution of the type set forth in this Section 6 and are no more favorable to the holders of such Rights or Convertible Securities than this Section 6 would have if this Section 6 were included in such Rights or Convertible Securities), then the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be re- adjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Rights or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration, or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold; and such adjustment of the Exercise Price will be made whether the result thereof is to increase or reduce the Exercise Price then in effect under this Warrant, provided that no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price above the initial Exercise Price hereof and that such adjustments shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company who shall promptly provide notice of the new Exercise Price to the Holder. k. Upon the expiration of any Right, or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Security, without the exercise of such Right, or the conversion of such Convertible Security, the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder will be adjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Right or Convertible Security never been issued, but such subsequent adjustment shall not affect the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon any exercise of this Warrant prior to the date such adjustment is made. l. If any shares of Common Stock, Rights, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for consideration that includes cash, then the amount of cash consideration actually received by the Company will be deemed to be the cash portion thereof. If any shares of Common Stock, Rights, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which is other than cash, then the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market value thereof as of the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Rights, or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, then the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Rights, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. m. If any Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Right by the parties thereto, the Right will be deemed to have been issued without consideration. n. The number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding at any given time shall include the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, as adjusted as provided herein, but shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock hereunder. o. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one cent per Warrant Share, but in such case any adjustment that otherwise would be required to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment that, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one cent per Warrant Share. 6.2 In the event of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant. Upon such exercise, the Holder shall have the right to receive the same kind and number of shares of capital stock and other securities, cash or other property as would have been distributed to the Holder upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger. The Holder shall pay upon such exercise the Exercise Price that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. If any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger results in a cash distribution in excess of the then applicable Exercise Price, the Holder may, at the Holder's option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full, and in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder. In the event of any such reorganization, merger or consolidation, the corporation formed by such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the corporation which shall have acquired the assets of the Company shall execute and deliver a supplement hereto to the foregoing effect, which supplement shall also provide, if applicable, for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments required pursuant to this Warrant. 6.3 If the Company shall, at any time before the expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant. Upon such exercise the Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company that the Holder otherwise would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or paid to the Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date for determining those entitled to receive any such distribution. If any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up results in any cash distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided by this Warrant, the Holder may, at the Holder's option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price and, in such case, the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full and, in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder. 6.4 Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price in effect on the date this Warrant is exercised, the number of Warrant Shares, calculated to the nearest number of Warrant Shares, determined by (a) multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder immediately prior to the adjustment of the Exercise Price by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, and (b) dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise. The provisions of Section 9 shall apply, however, so that no fractional share of Common Stock or fractional Warrant shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. 6.5 The Company may retain a firm of independent public accounts of recognized standing (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section 6, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Section 6. 7. Notice to Holder. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding (a) if the Company shall pay any dividends or make any distribution upon the Common Stock otherwise than in cash or (b) if the Company shall offer generally to the holders of Common Stock the right to subscribe to or purchase any shares of any class of capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock or any similar rights or (c) if there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then in such event, the Company shall cause to be mailed by registered or certified mail to the Holder, at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant date described below (or such shorter period as is reasonably possible if thirty (30) days is not reasonably possible), a notice containing a description of the proposed action and stating the date or expected date on which a record of the Company's shareholders is to be taken for the purpose of any such dividend, distribution of rights, or such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date or expected date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such event. 8. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the nature of such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. 9. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any subscription hereunder. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. 10. Transfer or Loss of Warrant. 10.1 Prior to any proposed transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares received on the exercise of this Warrant (the "Securities"), unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the proposed transfer, the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder's intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall, if the Company so requests, be accompanied by an unqualified written opinion of legal counsel who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company addressed to the Company and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of the Securities shall be entitled to transfer the Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Each certificate evidencing the Securities transferred as above provided shall not bear such restrictive legends if in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legends are not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act. 10.2 Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver, or instruct the Transfer Agent to execute and deliver, a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant thereupon shall become void. 11. Notices. Notices and other communications to be given to the Holder shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered by hand, or five (5) days after mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at 2101 West Commercial Boulevard, Suite 1500, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309. Notices or other communications to the Company shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if delivered by hand or five days after mailing if mailed by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to the Company at 7450 East Jewell Avenue, Suite A, Denver, Colorado 80231. A party may change the address to which notice shall be given by notice pursuant to this Section 11. 12. Entire Agreement and Modification. The Company and the Holder of this Warrant hereby represent and warrant that this Warrant is intended to and does contain and embody all of the understandings and agreements, both written and oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Warrant, and that there exists no oral agreement or understanding, express or implied liability, whereby the absolute, final and unconditional character and nature of this Warrant shall be in any way invalidated, impaired or affected. A modification or waiver of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Warrant shall be effective only if made in writing and executed with the same formality of this Warrant. 13. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without application of the principles of conflicts of laws. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Warrant as of the 1st day of April, 1996.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, _______ (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from Ozo Diversified Automation, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), at any time and from time to time during the period from October 10, 1996 (the "Commencement Date") until 5:00 p.m., Miami, Florida Time, on October 10, 2001 (the "Expiration Date"), at which time this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant") shall expire and become void, an aggregate of ________ shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.10 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), which number of Warrant Shares is subject to adjustment from time to time, as described below, upon payment therefor of the exercise price of $.75 per Warrant Share in lawful funds of the United States of America, such amounts (the "Basic Exercise Price") being subject to adjustment in the cir cumstances set forth hereinbelow.

The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, file and use its best efforts to cause to become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Registration Statement covering such of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants issuable or issued on exercise of the Warrants as the Company has been requested to register for disposition by the Holders thereof, to the extent required to permit the public sale or other public disposition thereof by the Holders. The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to remain effective for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of the Registration Statement or such earlier date as all of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants issuable or issued upon exercise thereof have been sold or the Warrants expire (the "Effective Period"). The Company shall pay all costs, expenses, disbursements, and fees, including fees and expenses of counsel and accountants for the Company, and the expenses of preparing, printing and filing under the Act and of furnishing copies of the prospectus, in connection with the Registration Statement and also including all costs, expenses, disbursements, and fees required to keep such Registration Statement current for the Effective Period, but excluding costs or expenses of the Holders' counsel, accountants or other professionals retained by the Holders and underwriting discounts and expenses attributable to the Company's securities held by the Holders. 4. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company covenants that, during the period this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. This Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. 5. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant, as such, shall not entitle the Holder to any rights of a stockholder of the Company, until the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance with Section 2 hereof. 6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. 6.1 The number and kind of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, and the Company agrees to provide notice upon the happening of certain events, as follows: a. If the Company is recapitalized through the subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased or reduced, as of the record date for such recapitalization, in the same proportion as the increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such recapitalization shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date. b. If the Company declares a dividend on its Common Stock payable in shares of its Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of its Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date. c. If the Company effects a general distribution to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of the Company's dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, of any shares of its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock), the Company shall give written notice to the Holder of any such general distribution at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before the record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such general distribution, except as otherwise provided herein. d. If the Company offers rights or warrants (other than the Warrant) to all holders of its Common Stock which entitle them to subscribe to or purchase additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, the Company shall give written notice of any such proposed offering to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before such record date. e. In the event an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder is made under subsection a. or b. above, and such an event does not occur, then any adjustments in the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant that were made in accordance with such subsection a. or b. shall be re-adjusted to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares as were in effect immediately prior to the record date for such an event. f. If and whenever the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Subsection 6.1 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale (except for the issuance or deemed issuance of securities in a transaction described in paragraph g. of this Subsection 6.1), then immediately upon such issuance or sale the Exercise Price will be reduced to an Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the issuance or sale plus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder that the maximum aggregate amount of consideration receivable by the Company upon such issuance or sale would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding, as hereinafter determined, immediately after such issuance or sale. g. The following securities or transactions shall be excluded from the operation of paragraph f. of this Subsection 6.1: (i) The existence and any exercise of any option, convertible promissory note, warrant, or other right to purchase Common Stock, that is outstanding on the date hereof; and (ii) Any grant or exercise of options for Common Stock granted under the Company's stock option plans, in existence as of the date hereof, provided said grant or exercise is not effectuated as a result of any amendment to such plans subsequent to the date hereof, with an exercise price equal to at least the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant; and (iii) Any shares issued to Advanced Controls in connection with the proposed stock exchange agreement between the Company and Advanced Controls. j. If (a) the purchase price provided for in any Rights, (b) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or (c) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, changes at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions that are designed to protect against dilution of the type set forth in this Section 6 and are no more favorable to the holders of such Rights or Convertible Securities than this Section 6 would have if this Section 6 were included in such Rights or Convertible Securities), then the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be re- adjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Rights or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration, or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold; and such adjustment of the Exercise Price will be made whether the result thereof is to increase or reduce the Exercise Price then in effect under this Warrant, provided that no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price above the initial Exercise Price hereof and that such adjustments shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company who shall promptly provide notice of the new Exercise Price to the Holder. k. Upon the expiration of any Right, or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Security, without the exercise of such Right, or the conversion of such Convertible Security, the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder will be adjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Right or Convertible Security never been issued, but such subsequent adjustment shall not affect the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon any exercise of this Warrant prior to the date such adjustment is made. l. If any shares of Common Stock, Rights, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for consideration that includes cash, then the amount of cash consideration actually received by the Company will be deemed to be the cash portion thereof. If any shares of Common Stock, Rights, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which is other than cash, then the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market value thereof as of the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Rights, or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, then the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Rights, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. m. If any Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Right by the parties thereto, the Right will be deemed to have been issued without consideration. n. The number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding at any given time shall include the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, as adjusted as provided herein, but shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock hereunder. o. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one cent per Warrant Share, but in such case any adjustment that otherwise would be required to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment that, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one cent per Warrant Share. 6.2 In the event of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant. Upon such exercise, the Holder shall have the right to receive the same kind and number of shares of capital stock and other securities, cash or other property as would have been distributed to the Holder upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger. The Holder shall pay upon such exercise the Exercise Price that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. If any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger results in a cash distribution in excess of the then applicable Exercise Price, the Holder may, at the Holder's option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full, and in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder. In the event of any such reorganization, merger or consolidation, the corporation formed by such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the corporation which shall have acquired the assets of the Company shall execute and deliver a supplement hereto to the foregoing effect, which supplement shall also provide, if applicable, for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments required pursuant to this Warrant. 6.3 If the Company shall, at any time before the expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant. Upon such exercise the Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company that the Holder otherwise would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or paid to the Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date for determining those entitled to receive any such distribution. If any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up results in any cash distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided by this Warrant, the Holder may, at the Holder's option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price and, in such case, the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full and, in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder. 6.4 Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price in effect on the date this Warrant is exercised, the number of Warrant Shares, calculated to the nearest number of Warrant Shares, determined by (a) multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder immediately prior to the adjustment of the Exercise Price by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, and (b) dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise. The provisions of Section 9 shall apply, however, so that no fractional share of Common Stock or fractional Warrant shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. 6.5 The Company may retain a firm of independent public accounts of recognized standing (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section 6, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Section 6. 7. Notice to Holder. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding (a) if the Company shall pay any dividends or make any distribution upon the Common Stock otherwise than in cash or (b) if the Company shall offer generally to the holders of Common Stock the right to subscribe to or purchase any shares of any class of capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock or any similar rights or (c) if there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then in such event, the Company shall cause to be mailed by registered or certified mail to the Holder, at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant date described below (or such shorter period as is reasonably possible if thirty (30) days is not reasonably possible), a notice containing a description of the proposed action and stating the date or expected date on which a record of the Company's shareholders is to be taken for the purpose of any such dividend, distribution of rights, or such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date or expected date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such event. 8. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the nature of such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. 9. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any subscription hereunder. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. 10. Transfer or Loss of Warrant. 10.1 Prior to any proposed transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares received on the exercise of this Warrant (the "Securities"), unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the proposed transfer, the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder's intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall, if the Company so requests, be accompanied by an unqualified written opinion of legal counsel who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company addressed to the Company and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of the Securities shall be entitled to transfer the Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Each certificate evidencing the Securities transferred as above provided shall not bear such restrictive legends if in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legends are not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act. 10.2 Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver, or instruct the Transfer Agent to execute and deliver, a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant thereupon shall become void. 11. Notices. Notices and other communications to be given to the Holder shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered by hand, or five (5) days after mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at 201 South Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 2950, Miami, Florida 33131. Notices or other communications to the Company shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if delivered by hand or five days after mailing if mailed by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to the Company at 7450 East Jewell Avenue, Suite A, Denver, Colorado 80231. A party may change the address to which notice shall be given by notice pursuant to this Section 11. 12. Entire Agreement and Modification. The Company and the Holder of this Warrant hereby represent and warrant that this Warrant is intended to and does contain and embody all of the understandings and agreements, both written and oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Warrant, and that there exists no oral agreement or understanding, express or implied liability, whereby the absolute, final and unconditional character and nature of this Warrant shall be in any way invalidated, impaired or affected. A modification or waiver of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Warrant shall be effective only if made in writing and executed with the same formality of this Warrant. 13. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without application of the principles of conflicts of laws.
