PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

The Company

Wilshire Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in California on October 17, 1990 and has historically developed, manufactured and marketed engineered polymer products for industrial cleanroom use. In 1996, the Company divested its Medical Products and Transdermal Products divisions and focused primarily on products used in industrial cleanrooms, such as gloves and contamination control products. From 1996 through 2000, substantially all of the Company’s reported historic revenues were related to sales of its contamination control products. On May 19, 2000, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and selected liabilities of the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control division (the “division”) to Foamex Asia Co. LTD. (see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements). During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, sales of the Company’s polyurethane glove were ceased and the Company focused upon securing a strategic partner for the new product development. Effective September 18, 2000, the Company signed a Product Development, Purchase and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the LYCRA® division of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”). Under the Agreement, DuPont developed and began to supply a new proprietary polyurethane material, which is used by Wilshire to manufacture and sell a disposable polyurethane glove for industrial and non-industrial cleanroom applications. The Company, based in Carlsbad, California manufactures its products at the Tijuana, Mexico facility of its wholly owned subsidiary, Wilshire International de Mexico S.A. de C.V.

Market Overview

The need for extraordinary cleanliness in various manufacturing and high-technology processes has resulted in a requirement for products to be manufactured in Class 1, 10 and 100 cleanrooms. A “cleanroom” is an environment in which particulate fluid and biological contaminants are monitored and controlled. In the microelectronics, semiconductor and aerospace industries, cleanrooms are essential to the manufacturing process to prevent minute particles from contaminating sensitive and expensive products. Cleanrooms are classified according to the allowable level of particulate contamination per cubic foot. A “Class 1 “ cleanroom may have just one particle of more than 0.5 microns per cubic foot.

The Company uses a proprietary polyurethane formulation — provided by the LYCRA® division of E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”)- to produce the Company’s DuraCLEAN ® with LYCRA® glove to meet the requirements of Class 1, 10 and 100 cleanrooms. For these cleanrooms, the particulate compliance requirements are extremely stringent, and the total cost of disposables represents only a small percentage of the total cost of the customer’s manufactured product. Cleanroom users are generally willing to pay premium prices for products, which reduce particulate contamination, thereby reducing labor costs and increasing the yields of their manufactured products. Disposable supplies used in cleanrooms consist primarily of garments, gloves, swabs and wipers. Traditionally, most cleanroom suppliers have adapted existing products from other applications, e.g., medical, which may have inherent limitations. The Company intends to satisfy the needs of cleanroom operators with advanced glove products designed and manufactured specifically for cleanroom use.

Because of the inherent cleanliness and the absence of chemical accelerators, the new DuraCLEAN® with LYCRA® glove has expanded applications outside traditional cleanroom markets. Some of the fastest growing potential market-segments for Wilshire Technologies Inc. are companies whose manufacturing process (either by the wearer or the in-use environment) is impacted by the chemicals, shedding, and outgassing associated with traditional gloves. These markets include medical device manufacturers, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, and highly sensitive laboratories.

Products

The Company specializes in the development, manufacture and marketing of polyurethane gloves for use in any environment that requires a higher level of cleanliness, greater personal safety and unsurpassed comfort. In September 2000, the Company signed a Product Development, Purchase and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the LYCRA® division of E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”). Under the Agreement, DuPont developed and supplied a new proprietary polyurethane material, which is used by the Company to manufacture and sell a new disposable polyurethane glove for industrial and non-industrial cleanroom applications.

In conjunction with the Agreement, the Company also entered into a Trademark License Agreement with DuPont that allows the Company to market the new polyurethane glove under the LYCRA® trademark. The Company sold previous glove products under two brand names — DuraCLEAN® and PolyDERM™, and is considering marketing future glove products under these names.

The majority of the gloves purchased worldwide for use in Class 1, 10 and 100 cleanrooms are latex, nitril or polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) medical gloves post-processed to be cleaner than the typical hospital or surgeon’s glove. All of these gloves have several disadvantages: (1) the gloves are prone to deterioration during use, thereby generating excessive particulate contamination; (2) the gloves have many chemical additives that can be easily transferred onto the environments that they are trying to protect causing potential yield loss; and (3) the gloves can cause allergic/dermal reactions from chemical additives.

The Company believes that the new polyurethane glove will address these problems. The Company believes that the new polyurethane glove is superior to latex, nitril and PVC gloves in many ways. The new glove will have superior cleanliness, durability (that includes the ability to relaunder) and enhanced tactile feel. For DiskDrive markets, the added benefit of the electrostatic dissipative (“ESD”) properties of the Company’s glove is a great advantage. Although the new gloves will be premium priced, management believes they will be cost effective for users because the enhanced cleanliness will reduce contamination and increase yield. Also, because of excellent abrasion resistance they can be worn longer and changed less frequently than less expensive gloves. Another benefit of the gloves is they can be relaundered multiple times, which reduces the cost of the glove and helps reduce the waste stream of the customer.

Patents, Licenses and Proprietary Rights

The Company has one patent application pending in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and plans to file more patent applications this year.

The Company relies upon trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain its competitive position. The Company typically requires its employees and consultants to execute appropriate confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements in connection with their employment or consulting relationships with the Company.

No assurance can be given that competitors will not independently develop substantially equivalent or superior proprietary materials and techniques or otherwise gain access to the Company’s proprietary technology, or that the Company can meaningfully protect its rights in unpatented proprietary technology.

Technology

The Company’s current products use polymers, particularly polyurethane. Polyurethane is a versatile synthetic material, which can be produced to exhibit a wide range of characteristics. By varying the underlying molecular structure and manufacturing methods, polyurethane materials may be created with varying degrees of absorbency, moisture vapor transfer, flexibility, elasticity, structural integrity and stability.

Manufacturing

The Company manufactures its polyurethane gloves on its own equipment, using a proprietary process in its leased facility in Tijuana, Mexico. The Company purchases the polymer for the gloves from DuPont under an exclusive two-year supply agreement. The Agreement allows for up to three annual extensions of the exclusivity period for the purchasing rights upon the Company meeting certain performance criteria.

Raw Materials.The polyurethane materials that the Company uses are generally available from multiple sources. The Company has not experienced difficulty in obtaining raw materials.

Quality Assurance.Under the Company’s quality assurance program, visual, dimensional and functional inspections are performed and recorded on all raw materials and finished goods based on product specifications as governed by the Device Master Record. Additionally, Statistical Process Control and other Total Quality Management methods are used in the manufacturing process.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

The Company markets its products directly to end-users through a limited number of internal sales personnel as well as through international, national and regional distributors. During 2001, the Company sold approximately 96% of its products through its Japanese distributor.

Competition

The Company believes the cleanroom market for gloves has a large number of competitors, some of which, such as Kimberly Clark Corp, are much larger than the Company. Other competitors include Baxter International, Smith and Nephew Perry, and Ansell Edmont.

The Company is engaged in a rapidly-evolving and highly-competitive field. Competition from glove manufacturers is intense and expected to increase. Many of these companies have substantially greater capital resources and facilities, and more experience in marketing and distributing products than the Company. In addition, many of these companies employ large research and development staffs, while the Company has traditionally had a small research and development budget.

Employees

As of November 30, 2001, the Company employed 95 employees. 80 employees supported manufacturing and shipping for the Company’s glove factory located in Tijuana, Mexico, and the remaining employees, 4 in manufacturing and shipping, 7 in marketing and selling and 4 in administration, were affiliated with the Company’s corporate headquarters located in Carlsbad, California.

Item 2. Description of Property.

In August 1997, the Company completed a five-year Lease Agreement with Messrs. Frank Naliboff and Nathan Morton for a 25,500 square-foot office and warehouse facility in Carlsbad, California. Under the terms of the lease, the Company paid rent of $17,500 per month for the first year, beginning January 1, 1998 with annual rent increases of $500 per month in each of the following four years. The Company anticipates paying rent of $19,500 per month for fiscal year 2002. The lease expires on December 31, 2002 and can be renewed by mutual agreement of the parties.

In November 1997, the Company completed a five-year Lease Agreement with Mr. Rafael Mizrachi for a 23,500 square foot manufacturing facility and a 15,000 square foot adjacent lot in Tijuana, Mexico. Under the terms of the lease, the Company paid rent of $10,000 per month for the first year beginning January 1, 1998, with annual rent adjustments for the San Diego area Consumer Price Index. The Company anticipates paying rent of $12,400 per month for the fiscal year 2002. The lease expires on December 31, 2002 and can be renewed by mutual agreement of the parties.

Table of Contents

In December 1998, the Company completed two sublease agreements, one with Software of the Month Club, Inc (“SOMC”), and the other with Intecon Systems, Inc. (“Intecon”) for space in the Company’s leased facility in Carlsbad, California. The SOMC sublease is for 7,170 square feet for 24 months beginning January 1, 1999, at a monthly rent of $3,872, subject to annual rent adjustments, plus utilities. On November 7, 2000, the SOMC was amended to extend the lease term through December 31, 2001. The lease expired December 31, 2001 and the Company is currently seeking a new tenant to sublease the space previously leased to SOMC. The Intecon sublease, beginning February 1, 1999, was amended on August 1, 2000 to 3,090 square feet for a lease term through June 30, 2002 at a monthly rent of $1,669, plus utilities.

For more information refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Breast Implant Litigation

The Company and its predecessor Company, Wilshire Foam Products, Inc. (“Wilshire Foam”), have been named as defendants in hundreds of bodily injury lawsuits involving breast implants pending in Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington, and in a federal multi-district litigation (“MDL”) venued in Birmingham, Alabama. These suits seek compensatory and punitive damages under a variety of legal theories. The allegations against Wilshire Foam concern the use by some implant manufacturers of polyurethane products purportedly supplied by Wilshire Foam, which were apparently incorporated into the implants and placed in the plaintiffs’ bodies. Plaintiffs allege that they have suffered adverse effects of having polyurethane in their bodies, in addition to the alleged adverse effects of silicone and other components of the implants.

The Company believes it has several layers of protection from exposure in these cases. First, the Company and Wilshire Foam carried insurance. Second, recent developments in the MDL and in related negotiations have resulted in the probable resolution of most of the pending and possible future claims against the Company. Third, there are a great number of co-defendants, some of which are large corporations with significant resources, that may be required to contribute to any award or indemnify the Company. Fourth, the Company has asserted a number of legal defenses in the lawsuits as described below. Fifth, these claims relate to products sold prior to the acquisition of Wilshire Foam, in which product liabilities were expressly not assumed and the Company was indemnified by the shareholders of Wilshire Foam. In many, if not most of the cases, the Company believes it did not sell any product to the implant manufacturers in question or during the relevant time period. The Company has been dismissed by over 3,000 plaintiffs because it was shown that a Wilshire Foam product was not involved nor in connected with a related resolution of the case. This litigation is discussed fully in Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Accordingly there is uncertainty as to the amount the Company will be expected to pay, if any, once the insurance and indemnification sources have been exhausted. At this time no accrual has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to this matter.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Company solicited proxies pursuant to regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act (Proxy Statement dated March 23, 2001) for its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 25, 2001. Two matters were submitted to the shareholders for approval. The first matter- the election of the five directors listed in the Proxy Statement — drew no opposition and such nominees were elected by the affirmative vote of 12,677,364 shares, which were the number of shares represented at the meeting. The number of shares not voted was 276,021. The second matter submitted to the shareholders was an amendment to the Wilshire Technologies, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan to increase the maximum amount of shares under the plan to 2,250,000. The amendment to the stock option plan was approved by the affirmative vote of 12,436,092 shares, with 241,206 shares against the motion and 276,087 shares not voted.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

With the exception of discussions regarding historical information, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” contains forward looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations subject to uncertainties and other factors which may involve known and unknown risks that could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from those projected or implied. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions about future events which may not prove to be accurate.

Risks and uncertainties inherent in forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s future cash flows and ability to obtain sufficient financing, timing and volume of sales orders, level of gross margins and operating expenses, lack of market acceptance or demand for new product lines, price competition, conditions in the contamination control industry and the economy in general, as well as legal proceedings. The economic risk associated with material cost fluctuations and inventory obsolescence is significant to the Company. The ability to manage inventories through procurement and utilization of component materials and the ability to generate new glove sales could have a significant impact on future results of operations or financial condition. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.

Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements in this Form 10-KSB and in other reports that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this filing.

Overview

The Company has incurred substantial losses since its inception in 1990, and has relied on working capital provided by Trilon Dominion (previously Dominion Capital, Inc.) in the form of both debt and equity to fund its operations. Management believes that Trilon Dominion will continue to support the Company’s working capital needs as necessary through the end of fiscal year 2002. See further discussion at “going concern” below.

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern. Should Trilon Dominion discontinue providing working capital support to the Company, the Company would have insufficient working capital to meet its operational needs for the foreseeable future.

In May of fiscal year 2000, the Company sold certain assets and selected liabilities of the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control division (the “Division”) to Foamex Asia Co. Ltd. (the “Buyer”), an affiliate of Foamex International (FMX:NASDAQ) for a potential sales price of $2,500,000 or more. The sale was finalized on May 19, 2000. Substantially all of the historic revenues reported by the Company related to this division.

Payments are due from the Buyer on a quarterly basis based on a fixed percentage of sales by the Buyer of certain products, as defined in the asset purchase agreement, subject to certain cash flow provisions.

As no proceeds were due to the Company on the date of closing, the Company recorded a receivable in the amount of $945,000, which equates to the net book value of the net assets sold. The Company has a secured interest in the net assets sold. All payments of the sales price will be applied against the receivable, under the cost recovery method, with no recognition of gain until the receivable is paid in full. The Company believes that the asset recorded is not impaired. On November 29, 2001, the Company received a payment of $258,000 from Foamex Asia Co. Ltd. in compliance with the terms of the Agreement, which was applied against the receivable.

In addition to the sale of assets, the Buyer and Seller entered into an agreement (the “Ongoing Service Agreement”) where the Company agreed to provide Foamex, for due consideration, certain labor, facilities, services, personnel and other items with respect to Foamex’s ongoing operation of the Division’s business. The agreement commenced on May 19, 2000 and has been subsequently amended to continue until December 31, 2002. The Company anticipates receiving approximately $550,000 in consulting fees from the agreement during fiscal year 2002.

The Company believes the transaction was in its best interests due to the likelihood of increased sales over the next three years from lower manufacturing costs that could be achieved by Foamex Asia Co. Ltd. Furthermore, the sale of the Division to Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., allowed the Company to better focus its efforts on the polyurethane glove business.

Effective September 18, 2000, the Company signed a Product Development, Purchase and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the LYCRA® division of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”). Under the Agreement, DuPont developed and began to supply a new proprietary polyurethane material (the “Material”) used by Wilshire to manufacture and sell a disposable polyurethane glove for industrial and non-industrial cleanroom applications.

The Agreement grants the Company an exclusive two-year license to purchase the “Material” for the manufacture of its glove for sale into the cleanroom, non-medical glove markets of North America, Asia (ex-Japan) and Japan. The Agreement allows for up to three annual extensions of the exclusivity period for the purchasing rights and for the selling rights into North America and Asia (ex-Japan) upon the Company meeting certain performance criteria. In order to maintain the exclusivity of the purchasing and selling rights beyond the initial two-year period, the Company is required to meet annual revenue thresholds of $6.9M, $16.3M and $26.5M for the 12-month periods ending June 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. If the Company does not meet the stated minimum revenue requirement, the Company can obtain annual non-exclusive rights in these markets upon achievement of lesser annual revenue thresholds of $3.45M, $8.15M and $13.25M for the 12-month periods ending June 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. There can be no assurance that the

8


Table of Contents

Company will achieve these revenue levels to satisfy the minimum revenue requirements to extend its rights to use DuPont’s Material, on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, for periods beyond the initial two-year period.

Under the Agreement, the Company is required to purchase all its polyurethane requirements from DuPont through the end of 2005, if the extensions are exercised. In conjunction with the Agreement, the Company also entered into a Trademark License Agreement with Dupont that allows the Company to market the new polyurethane glove under the LYCRA® trademark.

As partial consideration, in fiscal year 2000, the Company granted a stock option to DuPont to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.50 a share. This option was cancelled effective December 17, 2001 at which time the Company granted DuPont a different option with an exercise price of $1 million.

Upon exercise of the new option, DuPont would receive 10% of the proceeds (as defined in the option) from (i) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (ii) the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets by the Company or (iii) the acquisition of the Company by another entity, not affiliated with Trilon Dominion, by means of a merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which the outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued by or on behalf of the acquiring corporation (collectively a “Liquidation”).

In the event of a Liquidation before December 31, 2004, the option becomes exercisable on the day the Liquidation occurs. If there has been no Liquidation before December 31, 2004, the option becomes exercisable on December 30, 2004 and, if not exercised, expires at the close of business on that day. The Company, may in its sole discretion, extend the December 31, 2004 date on at least 15 calendar days prior written notice to DuPont.

During the first half of fiscal year 2001, the Company finalized a commercial version of DuraCLEAN® with Lycra® glove. The Company began a controlled production ramp as it focused on process and yield improvement programs.

The process and yield improvement programs were completed in the last half of the fiscal year, along with the completion of extensive tests for cleanliness, durability, strength and comfort.

In October 2001, the Company finished a retrofit of its glove dipping line to maximize production capacity for the new glove.

The Company initially targeted its glove sales to the Japanese semiconductor and diskdrive industries and introduced the glove for evaluations at key customer sites. In the second half of 2001, the Company introduced the new glove into the US Medical Device market.

The development cycle of the Company’s new glove continued through fiscal year 2001, thus limiting the sales of the glove to approximately $205,000 for the year. The Company accelerated the market introduction into both the Japanese and domestic markets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, and has received orders aggregating $100,000 for its glove.

The sale of the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control Division along with the extensive development cycle of the new glove has continued to impact the Company’s ability to generate cash. The Company further anticipates that substantial negative cash flows will continue through fiscal year 2002 as the Company focuses on ramping up sales of its new polyurethane glove.

As of November 30, 2001, the Company used its current credit facilities and has projected its cash flow needs to be approximately $9 Million for the year ending November 2002.

Consequently, in order to raise funds to support its working capital needs for fiscal 2002, the Company signed a Stock Option Agreement with Trilon Dominion Partners, L.L.C. (“Trilon”).

Table of Contents

Under the Trilon agreement, on December 17, 2001 the Company has issued to Trilon (the Company’s largest shareholder owning over 73% of the Company’s outstanding shares), 8,011,039 shares of the Company’s unissued authorized stock in cancellation of $1,279,000 of indebtedness and interest. The option agreement further reserves an initial 16,445,900 shares of stock (subject to further adjustments) at a price of $.14 per share, for further sale to Trilon. The Agreement contains certain covenants regarding corporate events which restrict the Company, without the prior written consent of Trilon, from (a) issuing any shares of its Preferred Stock, (b) issuing any shares of its Common Stock except pursuant to warrants or options outstanding on the date hereof, (c) paying any dividend payable in stock (of any class or classes) or in any obligations or stock convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, upon its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) to holders of its Common Stock, (d) granting to holders of its Common Stock generally any rights or option, (e) effecting any capital reorganization or reclassification of capital stock of the Company, (f) consolidating with, or merging into, any other corporation or to transfer its property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or (g) effecting the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. These covenants remain in effect until the option and the additional option have been exercised or expired. In connection with any consent of Trilon to the foregoing, Trilon may require adjustments to the exercise price in order to protect its purchase rights with respect to the option. Trilon may exercise the option at any time before 2003.

Trilon Dominion, has advised the Company that it will continue to support the Company as necessary through the end of fiscal year 2002 through the exercise of options under this agreement, however no assurance of their support can be given. (See discussion on Going Concern, and Note 2 and see Note 12 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Results of Operations

Net Sales

The Company markets its products directly to end-users through a limited number of internal sales personnel as well as through international, national and regional distributors. Revenue for all sales is recognized when title transfers, generally when products are shipped.

Net sales decreased by $1,106,000 (84.4%) to $205,000 for the fiscal year of 2001 as compared to sales of $1,311,000 for 2000. The decrease in sales for the year was due to the sale of the Wilshire Contamination Control Division to Foamex Asia Co. Ltd. on May 19, 2000. Given that substantially all of the historic revenues reported by the Company related to this division, sales ceased at that time while the Company focused on development of a new polyurethane glove made with proprietary material supplied by DuPont.

Development of the new glove continued through fiscal 2001, as the Company focused upon process and yield improvement programs and introduced the glove into selected targeted customer accounts.

Gross Margin

For 2001, the Company recorded a negative gross margin of $2,600,000 as compared to a negative gross margin of $1,699,000 for 2000. The losses for each of the years presented were primarily attributable to high-unabsorbed operating costs of its glove manufacturing plant as the Company focused upon the development of a new polyurethane glove made with proprietary material supplied by Dupont.

Marketing and Selling Expenses

Marketing and selling expenses increased by $165,000 (30.3%) to $710,000 for fiscal 2001 from $545,000 for the comparable period of 2000. The 2001 increase, as compared to 2000, was primarily attributable to an increase in headcount as well as an increase in marketing, tradeshow and travel expenses associated with the introduction of the new glove to customers.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include costs related to the Company’s administrative costs such as executive and office salaries, related payroll expenses, investor relations, professional fees, supplies and utilities.

General and administrative expenses decreased slightly by $17,000 (1.1%) to $1,583,000 for fiscal year 2001 from $1,600,000 in 2000. The decrease in expense was due to reductions in professional services associated with the Company’s glove manufacturing plant, decreases in executive headcount and the sharing of certain expenses under the Ongoing Service Agreement with Foamex Asia Co. Ltd.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $22,000 (169.2%) to $35,000 for 2001 from $13,000 in 2000. The increase was primarily due to increased research and development project expenses for the new glove.

Other Income

Other income increased by $238,000 (176.3%) to $373,000 in the fiscal year 2001 as compared to $135,000 of income for 2000. The increase in other income is due to an increase of consulting income from the Ongoing Service Agreement with Foamex Asia, which was entered into on May 19, 2000.

The Company recorded royalty expense of $37,000 to DuPont in fiscal 2001 related to sales of its new glove as stipulated by the Product Development, Purchase and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the LYCRA® division of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont “).

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded a reserve totaling $24,000 for obsolete assets.

Interest Expense, Net

The Company reported higher interest expense in 2001 versus 2000 due to an increase in debt outstanding. The interest expense was related primarily to the line of credit due to Trilon Dominion Partners, LLC. (See Note 5).

Income Taxes

For the years ended November 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company sustained losses for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. A tax provision of $1,000 related to state income taxes was recorded in the financial statements for 2000 and 2001.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $23,711,000; shareholders’ deficit of $20,351,000 as of November 30, 2001, has suffered substantial recurring losses from operations and is economically dependent on its majority shareholder to finance operations. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company is dependent on the Company’s ability to negotiate additional arrangements with its majority shareholder, raise additional capital and to achieve profitability. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Although management has been successful in obtaining working capital from its majority shareholder to fund operations to date, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital in the future.

The Company anticipates continuing substantial negative cash flow from operating and investing activities through the next twelve months. The Company has projected its cash flow needs to be approximately $9 million for fiscal 2002. Trilon Dominion, the Company’s largest shareholder with over 73% of the shares outstanding, has acknowledged the Company’s cash flow needs and has indicated its commitment to provide financial support to the Company through the next twelve months to the extent of such budgeted cash flow requirements. However given that no written commitment exists, the Company is exposed to the substantial risk that it will not receive the funds from Trilon Dominion to fund present and future working capital needs. In the event that such funds are not received it is unlikely that the Company will be successful in raising capital from other sources. If adequate funds are not available to finance current operations, the Company will be unable to execute its business development efforts and may be unable to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to (a) generate sufficient cash flow to fund working capital and investment activities, (b) to obtain additional outside financing and (c) ultimately sustain profitability. Management’s recent actions in regard to these matters are as follows:

1) During fiscal 2000, the Company sold selected assets and liabilities totaling $945,000 related to the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control to Foamex Asia Co. LTD. (the “Buyer”), an affiliate of Foamex International (FMX: NASDAQ) for a potential sales price up to $2,500,000. (See Note 4). Payments of the sale price are due from the Buyer on a quarterly basis based on a fixed percentage of sales by the Buyer of certain products. Foamex International is an international developer, manufacturer and supplier of high-quality foam, including key materials utilized in contamination control environments. Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., located in Singapore and in Thailand, is currently a major supplier of specialty foam products to the Asian market.

As part of the sale agreement, Foamex Asia Co. Ltd. agreed to invest $1,000,000 of capital in equipment and machinery which, the Company believes, will lead to lower manufacturing costs of the Buyer over the term of the agreement. The Company further believes the transaction was in its best interests as the likelihood of increased sales due to the lower manufacturing costs may provide not only a return of the initial investment of $945,000, but additional payments from the Buyer up to a total of $2,500,000.

In accordance with the terms of the sale agreement, a payment in the amount of $258,000 was received from Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., on November 29, 2001 and applied against the receivable.

In addition to receiving the November 29, 2001 payment, Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., confirmed an additional unpaid deferred payment balance of over $400,000, which is included in the receivable due from sale of division balance. Under the terms of the Agreement, this deferred payment is to be paid in full by November 30, 2002.

2) In addition to the sale of assets to Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., the Company entered into an agreement with Foamex to provide, for due consideration, certain labor, facilities, services, personnel and other items with respect to Foamex’s ongoing operation of the Division’s business. The agreement, which commenced on May 19, 2000, has been amended to extend through December 31, 2002 and will provide additional funds to offset operating expenses of approximately $550,000 for fiscal year 2002.

3) In September 2000, the Company signed a Product Development, Purchase and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the LYCRA® division of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont “). Under the Agreement, DuPont developed and began to supply a new proprietary polyurethane material, which is used by Wilshire to manufacture and sell a disposable polyurethane glove for industrial and non-industrial cleanroom applications.

The Company began production of the new gloves in the second quarter of 2001 and believes that the new, improved DuraCLEAN® gloves using LYCRA® eglantine fiber will offer the market a glove with improved cleanliness, durability and comfort. The glove will also have excellent ESD properties. The glove has the distinct advantage of being able to be used as a one time disposable product or, because of it’s durability, can be relaundered and used multiple times. The relaunderability benefit is a significant factor as it allows for a reduction in the cost of the glove and a large reduction in the waste stream of the customer, which is a growing concern in the market.

Although the new gloves will be premium priced, management believes they will be cost effective for users because the enhanced cleanliness will reduce contamination and increase yield. Also, because of excellent abrasion resistance they can be worn longer and changed less frequently than less expensive gloves.

Because of the inherent cleanliness and the absence of chemical accelerators, the new DuraCLEAN® with LYCRA® glove has expanded applications outside traditional cleanroom markets. Some of the fastest growing market-segments for Wilshire Technologies Inc. are medical device manufacturing, telecommunications, biotechnology and highly sensitive laboratories. The ability to re-launder and re-use the DuraCLEAN® glove has appeal in waste sensitive markets in Japan.

Table of Contents

The Glove will be marketed under the trademark DuraCLEAN® with LYCRA®. DuPont will be active with the Company in the marketing of the product. The Company will distribute the product through a variety of channels both in the US and overseas.

The Company believes that with the potential of a return of $2.5 million on the sale of its contamination control division to Foamex Asia Co., Ltd., with the cost-sharing agreements in place to lower operating costs, and with the sales of its new glove, the Company will position itself to begin generating sufficient cash flow to fund working capital and investment activities by early 2003. If the Company does attain its sales goals, it believes that it will be able to raise additional capital, as needed in the future. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in any of the above mentioned actions or plans on a timely basis, or at all.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management assesses the Company’s liquidity by its ability to generate cash to fund its operations. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are: funds generated by operations; levels of accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and capital expenditures; adequate lines of credit; and financial flexibility to attract long-term capital on satisfactory terms.

During 2000 and 2001, the Company has not generated sufficient cash from operations to fund its working capital and equipment purchase requirements. Net cash used in operating activities was $ 3,773,000 for 2001 versus net cash used in operating activities of $2,473,000 for 2000. The increase in the cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the sale of the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control division to Foamex Asia, Co. Ltd. in May 2000, which resulted in an substantial reduction in cash generated from operations.

Net cash used in investing activities was $282,000 for 2001, versus net cash used in investing activities of $94,000 for 2000. The higher investing activities for fiscal 2001 were related to upgrades to the glove production equipment related to the manufacture of the new glove totaling $539,000 offset by a payment on the receivable due on sale of division of $258,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,956,000 for 2001 versus $2,813,000, for 2000. The debt financing in both years was obtained from Trilon Dominion Partners, LLC. The Company’s need for financing increased in 2001 due to the sale of the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control division.

On March 31, 1998, the Company and Trilon Dominion completed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Revolving Line of Credit (the “Amended Agreement”) secured by the Company’s assets.

The Agreement has been extended by a number of amendments to January 31, 2003. Through fiscal 1999, the Company issued $11,935,000 of demand notes bearing interest at rates of 11.5% and prime plus 3%.

In fiscal 2000, the Company issued demand notes totaling $2,813,000 under the line of credit agreement. The notes issued in fiscal 2000 bear interest at a rate of prime plus 3% (13.0% at November 30, 2000).

In fiscal 2001, the Company issued additional demand notes totaling $3,956,000 at a rate of prime plus 3% (8.0% at November 30, 2001). All of the notes are due on demand.

As of February 15, 2002, the Company has used its current credit facilities and anticipates continuing negative cash flow from operating and investing activities through fiscal 2002. The Company has projected its cash flow needs to be approximately $9 Million for the year ending November 2002. Trilon Dominion, the Company’s largest shareholder with over 73% of the shares outstanding, has acknowledged the Company’s cash flow needs and has indicated its commitment to provide financial support to the Company through fiscal year 2002 to the extent of such budgeted cash flow requirements. However, given that no written commitment exists, the Company is exposed to the substantial risk that it will not receive the funds from Trilon Dominion to fund present and future working capital needs. If such commitment is not met, it is likely that the Company will not have the necessary resources to fund its operations for the next 12 months.

Risk Factors

The Company’s business depends on the free flow of products and services through the channels of commerce. Recently, in response to terrorists’ activities and threats aimed at the United States, transportation, mail, financial and other services have been slowed or stopped altogether. Further delays or stoppages in transportation, mail, financial or other services could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, the Company may experience an increase in operating costs, such as costs for transportation, insurance and security as a result of the activities and potential activities. The Company may also experience delays in receiving payments from payers that have been affected by the terrorist activities and potential activities. The U.S. economy, in general, is being adversely affected by the terrorist activities and potential activities and any economic downturn could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, impair its ability to raise capital or otherwise adversely affect its ability to grow the business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations, which eliminates the pooling method of accounting for intangible assets and goodwill acquired in a business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. In addition, SFAS 141 addresses the accounting for intangible assets and goodwill acquired in a business combination. This portion of SFAS 141 is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. The Company does not expect SFAS 141 will have material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not expect SFAS 142 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This standard is effective for the Company’s financial statements beginning December 1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the implementation of this Statement will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors of
Wilshire Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wilshire Technologies, Inc. as of November 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wilshire Technologies, Inc. as of November 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $23,711,000 and shareholders’ deficit of $20,351,000 as of November 30, 2001, has suffered recurring losses from operations and is economically dependent on its majority shareholder to finance operations. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. Continuation of the Company is dependent on the Company’s ability to negotiate additional arrangements with its majority shareholder, raise additional capital and to achieve profitability. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Wilshire Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) operates in one business segment, which is to develop, manufacture and market engineered polymer products for industrial and non-industrial cleanroom use. The Company has historically developed, manufactured and marketed engineered polymer products for industrial cleanroom use. In 1996, the Company divested its Medical Products and Transdermal Products divisions and focused primarily on products used in industrial cleanrooms, such as gloves and contamination control products. From 1996 through 2000, substantially all of the Company’s reported historic revenues have been related to sales of its contamination control products. On May 19, 2000, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and selected liabilities of the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control division (the “division”) to Foamex Asia Co. LTD. (See Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements). During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, sales of the Company’s polyurethane glove were ceased and the Company focused upon securing a strategic partner for the new product development. Effective September 18, 2000, the Company signed a Product Development, Purchase and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the LYCRA® division of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont “). Under the Agreement, DuPont developed and supplied a new proprietary polyurethane material, which is used by Wilshire to manufacture and sell a disposable polyurethane glove for industrial and non-industrial cleanroom applications. The Company, based in Carlsbad, California manufactures its products at the Tijuana, Mexico facility of its wholly owned subsidiary, Wilshire International de Mexico S.A. de C.V.

Basis of Presentation

The Company has incurred substantial losses since its inception in 1990, and has relied on working capital provided by Trilon Dominion (previously Dominion Capital, Inc.) in the form of both debt and equity to fund its operations. Management believes, but can provide no assurances, that Trilon Dominion will continue to support the Company as necessary through the end of fiscal year 2002. (See Note 2)

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and it’s wholly owned subsidiary. Significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities, when purchased, of three months or less. The Company, at times, maintains cash balances at certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured amounts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of first in, first out cost or market.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized when the product is shipped and customer acceptance is received pursuant to applicable customer contracts or purchase orders.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. Property and equipment under capital leases are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Intangible Assets

The goodwill on the books of the Company was related to the Company’s former Contamination Control Division. Accordingly, all remaining goodwill was written off the books of the Company in May 2000, in conjunction with the sale of the Contamination Control Division to Foamex Asia Co. Ltd.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amounts of these instruments generally approximate their fair values as of November 30, 2001. The fair value of the notes issued under the related party credit agreement with Trilon Dominion cannot be calculated, as, due to their nature, there are no market comparisons available. See Note 5.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset and supplemented by industry knowledge. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Sales to an international distributor accounted for 96% and 9% of total sales during 2001 and 2000, respectively, as the Company initially targeted its glove sales to the Japanese semiconductor and diskdrive industries. In fiscal 2002, the Company plans to expand its customer base across different industries and geographic locations. The Company reviews a potential customer’s credit history before extending credit. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information and such estimates of losses have been within management expectations. Management does not believe significant credit risks exist.

Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share in fiscal 2001 and 2000 was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period which excludes all common equivalent shares (options and warrants to purchase common stock totaling 9,841,199) since they are antidilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations (“APB 25”), in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options is not less than the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

22


Table of Contents

Wilshire Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company applies the provisions of SFAS 123 in accounting for its stock-based compensation paid to non-employees. Accordingly, the fair value of common stock options and warrants issued to non-employees is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and that estimated value is expensed as the services are provided.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Effective December 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. SFAS 130 established new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components. The Company’s comprehensive loss is the same as its net loss for all periods presented.

Segment Information

Effective December 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 131,“Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. SFAS 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires disclosure of selected information about operating segments to stockholders. The statement also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and customer concentration. Under SFAS 131, operating segments are determined consistent with the way that management organizes and evaluates financial information internally for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company believes it operates in one business and operating segment, which is to develop, manufacture and market engineered polymer products for industrial and non-industrial cleanroom use.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations, which eliminates the pooling method of accounting for intangible assets and goodwill acquired in a business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. In addition, SFAS 141 addresses the accounting for intangible assets and goodwill acquired in a business combination. This portion of SFAS 141 is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. The Company does not expect SFAS 141 will have material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not expect SFAS 142 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This standard is effective for the Company’s financial statements beginning December 1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the implementation of this Statement will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

2. Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $23,711,000; shareholders’ deficit of $20,351,000 as of November 30, 2001, has suffered substantial recurring losses from operations and is economically dependent on its majority shareholder to finance operations. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company is dependent on the Company’s ability to negotiate additional arrangements with its majority shareholder, raise additional capital and to achieve profitability. The consolidated financial statements do not

23


Table of Contents

Wilshire Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Although management has been successful in obtaining working capital from its majority shareholder to fund operations to date, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital in the future.

The Company anticipates continuing substantial negative cash flow from operating and investing activities through the next twelve months. The Company has projected its cash flow needs to be approximately $9 million for fiscal 2002. Trilon Dominion, the Company’s largest shareholder with over 73% of the shares outstanding, has acknowledged the Company’s cash flow needs and has indicated its commitment to provide financial support to the Company through the next twelve months to the extent of such budgeted cash flow requirements. However given that no written commitment exists, the Company is exposed to the substantial risk that it will not receive the funds from Trilon Dominion to fund present and future working capital needs. In the event that such funds are not received it is unlikely that the Company will be successful in raising capital from other sources. If adequate funds are not available to finance current operations, the Company will be unable to execute its business development efforts and may be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to (a) generate sufficient cash flow to fund working capital and investment activities, (b) to obtain additional outside financing and (c) ultimately sustain profitability. Management’s recent actions in regard to these matters are as follows:

1) During fiscal 2000, the Company sold selected assets and liabilities totaling $945,000 related to the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control to Foamex Asia Co. LTD. (the “Buyer”), an affiliate of Foamex International (FMX: NASDAQ) for a potential sales price up to $2,500,000. (See Note 4). Payments of the sale price are due from the Buyer on a quarterly basis based on a fixed percentage of sales by the Buyer of certain products. Foamex International is an international developer, manufacturer and supplier of high-quality foam, including key materials utilized in contamination control environments. Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., located in Singapore and in Thailand, is currently a major supplier of specialty foam products to the Asian market.

As part of the sale agreement, Foamex Asia Co. Ltd. agreed to invest $1,000,000 of capital in equipment and machinery which, the Company believes, will lead to lower manufacturing costs of the Buyer over the term of the agreement. The Company further believes the transaction was in its best interests as the likelihood of increased sales due to the lower manufacturing costs may provide not only a return of the initial investment of $945,000, but additional payments from the Buyer up to a total of $2,500,000.

In accordance with the terms of the sale agreement, a payment in the amount of $258,000 was received from Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., on November 29, 2001 and applied against the receivable.

In addition to receiving the payment on November 29, 2001, Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., confirmed an additional unpaid deferred payment balance of over $400,000 which is included in the receivable due on sale of division balance. Under the terms of the Agreement, this deferred payment is to be paid in full by November 30, 2002.

2) In addition to the sale of assets to Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., the Company entered into an agreement with Foamex to provide, for due consideration, certain labor, facilities, services, personnel and other items with respect to Foamex’s ongoing operation of the Division’s business. The agreement, which commenced on May 19, 2000, has been amended to extend through December 31, 2002 and will provide additional funds to offset operating expenses of approximately $550,000 for fiscal year 2002.

3) In September 2000, the Company signed a Product Development, Purchase and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the LYCRA® division of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont “). Under the Agreement, DuPont developed and began to supply a new proprietary polyurethane material (the “Material”), which is used by Wilshire to manufacture and sell a disposable polyurethane glove for industrial and non-industrial cleanroom applications.

The Agreement grants the Company an exclusive two-year license to manufacture and sell gloves using the new polyurethane material into the cleanroom, non-medical glove markets of North America, Asia (ex-Japan) and Japan. The Agreement allows for up to three annual extensions of the exclusivity period for the

24


Table of Contents

Wilshire Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

purchasing rights and for the selling rights into North America and Asia (ex-Japan) upon the Company meeting certain performance criteria. In order to maintain the exclusivity of the purchasing and selling rights beyond the initial two-year period, the Company is required to meet annual revenue thresholds of $6.9M, $16.3M and $26.5M for the 12-month periods ending June 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. If the Company does not meet the stated minimum revenue requirement, the Company can obtain annual non-exclusive rights in these markets upon achievement of lesser annual revenue thresholds of $3.45M, $8.15M and $13.25M for the 12-month periods ending June 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these revenue levels to satisfy the minimum revenue requirements to extend its rights to use DuPont’s Material, on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, for periods beyond the initial two-year period.

The Company began production of the new gloves in the second quarter of 2001 and believes that the new, improved DuraCLEAN® gloves using LYCRA® eglantine fiber will offer the market a glove with improved cleanliness, durability and comfort. The glove will also have excellent ESD properties. The glove has the distinct advantage of being able to be used as a one time disposable product or, because of it’s durability, can be relaundered and used multiple times. The relaunderability benefit is a significant factor as it allows for a reduction in the cost of the glove and a large reduction in the waste stream of the customer, which is a growing concern in the market.

Although the new gloves will be premium priced, management believes they will be cost effective for cleanroom users because the enhanced cleanliness will reduce contamination and increase yield. Also, because of excellent abrasion resistance they can be worn longer and changed less frequently than less expensive gloves.

Because of the inherent cleanliness and the absence of chemical accelerators, the new DuraCLEAN® with LYCRA® glove has expanded applications outside traditional cleanroom markets. Some of the fastest growing market-segments for Wilshire Technologies, Inc. are medical device manufacturing, telecommunications, biotechnology and highly sensitive laboratories. The ability to re-launder and re-use the DuraCLEAN® glove has appeal in waste sensitive markets in Japan.

The Glove will be marketed under the trademark DuraCLEAN® with LYCRA®. DuPont will be active with the Company in the marketing of the product. The Company will distribute the product through a variety of channels both in the US and overseas.

The Company believes that with the potential of a return of $2.5 million on the sale of its contamination control division to Foamex Asia Co., Ltd., with the cost-sharing agreements in place to lower operating costs, and with the sales of its new glove, the Company will position itself to begin generating sufficient cash flow to fund working capital and investment activities in 2003. If the Company does attain its sales goals, management believes that it will be able to raise additional capital, as needed in the future. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in any of the above mentioned actions or plans on a timely basis, or at all.

4. Sale of Wilshire Contamination Control Division

On May 19, 2000, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and selected liabilities of the Company’s Wilshire Contamination Control division (the “division”) to Foamex Asia Co. LTD. (the “Buyer”), an affiliate of Foamex International (FMX:NASDAQ) for a potential sales price up to $2,500,000 or more. Substantially all of the historic revenues reported by the Company related to this division.

Payments are due from the Buyer on a quarterly basis based on a fixed percentage of sales by the buyer of certain products, as defined in the asset purchase agreement, subject to certain cash flow provisions.

As no proceeds were due to the Company on the date of closing, the Company recorded a receivable, in the amount of $945,000, which equated to the net book value of the net assets sold. The Company has a secured interest in the net assets sold. All payments of the sales price will be applied against the receivable, under the cost recovery method, with no recognition of gain until the receivable is paid in full. The Company believes that the asset recorded is not impaired.

In accordance with the terms of the sale agreement, a payment in the amount of $258,000 was received from Foamex Asia Co. Ltd., on November 29, 2001 and applied against the receivable, reducing the balance of the receivable to $687,000 as of November 30, 2001.

In addition to the sale of assets, the Buyer and Seller entered into an agreement where the Company agreed to provide Foamex, for due consideration, certain labor, facilities, services, personnel and other items with respect to Foamex’s ongoing operation of the Division’s business. The agreement commenced on May 19, 2000 and has been amended to continue until December 31, 2002.

In addition to making the November 29, 2001 payment, Foamex Asia confirmed an additional unpaid deferred payment balance of over $400,000 which is included in the receivable due from sale of division balance. Under the terms of the Agreement, the deferred payment balance is to be paid in full by November 30, 2002. The Buyer has made all other payments as required by the sale agreement on a timely basis, and has represented both verbally and in writing to the Company that it has the financial ability to meet its payment obligations. Management has not received any financial information with which to evaluate the Buyer’s ability to pay the receivable, as the Buyer is not obligated to provide the financial statements. As such, while uncertainty exists as to the collectibility of the receivable, management has no reason to believe that the receivable will not be collected on a timely basis.

5. Demand Notes

On March 31, 1998, the Company and Trilon Dominion completed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Revolving Line of Credit (the “Amended Agreement”), secured by the Company’s assets.

26


Table of Contents

Wilshire Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Agreement term has been extended by a number of amendments to January 31, 2003. Through fiscal 1999, the Company issued $11,935,000 of demand notes bearing interest at rates of 11.5% and prime plus 3%, respectively.

In fiscal 2000, the Company issued demand notes totaling $2,813,000 under the line of credit agreement. The notes issued in fiscal 2000 bear interest at a rate of prime plus 3%.

In fiscal 2001, the Company issued additional demand notes totaling $3,956,000 at a rate of prime plus 3% (8.0% at November 30, 2001). All of the notes are due on demand.

The Company has used its current credit facilities and anticipates continuing negative cash flow from operating and investing activities through fiscal 2002. The Company has projected its cash flow needs to be approximately $9 Million for the year ending November 2002. Trilon Dominion has acknowledged the Company’s cash flow needs and has indicated its commitment to provide financial support to the Company through fiscal year 2002 to the extent of such budgeted cash flow requirements. However, given that no written commitment exists, the Company is exposed to the substantial risk that it will not receive the funds from Trilon Dominion to fund present and future working capital needs.

6. Income Taxes

At November 30, 2001, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $43,767,000, which will begin to expire in 2006 unless previously utilized. In addition, the Company had California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,191,000, which began to expire in 2001. The Company also has federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $83,000, which will begin to expire in 2009, unless previously utilized.

As a result of ownership changes that occurred in February, 1993 from a private placement of common stock and in January 1996 from the exchange of common stock for the outstanding debt and accrued interest, a portion of the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation regarding utilization against taxable income in future periods. The Company estimates that approximately $6,800,000 of its federal net operating loss carry forward will be unavailable for future tax benefit. Accordingly, the federal tax net operating loss carry forward has been reduced for the purposes of calculating the deferred tax asset.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes. Due to the uncertainty surrounding future realization of favorable tax attributes, a valuation allowance was recorded against deferred tax assets. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities for federal and state income taxes are as follows:

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Breast Implant Litigation

The Company and its predecessor Company, Wilshire Foam, have been named as defendants in thousands of bodily injury lawsuits involving breast implants pending in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington, and in a federal multi-district litigation (“MDL”) venued in Birmingham, Alabama. These suits seek compensatory and punitive damages under a variety of legal theories. The allegations against Wilshire Foam concern the use by some implant manufacturers of polyurethane products purportedly supplied by Wilshire Foam which were apparently incorporated into the implants and placed in the plaintiffs’ bodies. Plaintiffs allege that they have suffered adverse effects of having polyurethane in their bodies, in addition to the alleged adverse effects of silicone and other components of the implants.

The Company believes it has several layers of protection from exposure in these cases. First, as described in greater detail below, the Company and Wilshire Foam carried insurance. Second, also discussed below, recent developments in the MDL and in related negotiations have resulted in the probable resolution of most of the pending and possible future claims against the Company. Third, there are a great number of co-defendants, some of which are large corporations with significant resources, that may be required to contribute to any award or indemnify the Company. Fourth, the Company has asserted a number of legal defenses in the lawsuits as described below. Fifth, these claims relate to products sold prior to the acquisition of Wilshire Foam, in which product liabilities were expressly not assumed and the Company was indemnified by the shareholders of Wilshire Foam. In many, if not most of the cases, the Company believes it did not sell any product to the implant manufacturers in question during the relevant time period. The Company has been dismissed by over 3,000 plaintiffs because it was shown that a Wilshire Foam product was not involved nor connected to a related resolution of the case. Furthermore, the Company has not been served with any suit papers in the last two years, and was served only two new cases in the two years prior to that.

Management believes the Company is adequately covered by insurance for these suits under one or more commercial general liability (“CGL”) and excess liability insurance policies. Between 1974 and 1980, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company provided the CGL coverage; from 1980 through 1987, affiliates of the Chubb Group provided both CGL and excess coverage. The CGL policies for 1987-1992 were underwritten by Allstate Insurance Company affiliates; excess coverage for those years has been provided by Fireman’s Fund. While Wilshire Foam’s greatest number of relevant sales appear to have taken place during the early to mid-1980’s, there appears to be over $100 million in combined potential insurance coverage for the Company and/or Wilshire Foam during and after that time period. To date, all of the claims have been tendered to the insurance carriers, who have accepted defense of the litigation, subject to customary reservations of rights. No assurance can be given that any future lawsuits will be accepted by carriers. The cost of defense of the suits is generally not applied toward the policy limits. The Company and its insurers are exploring additional excess coverage, which appears to have been in place during the 1970’s until 1980.

Many of the lawsuits have been dormant for several years, and therefore all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the various allegations have yet to be determined. Consequently, it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome and extent of the Company’s involvement. Nevertheless, the Company presently believes that numerous legal defenses to potential liability exist, including, but not limited to, the absence of causation, lack of identification, fault of others, absence of defect, superseding cause, the component manufacturer defense, statutes of limitations, the absence of successor liability, learned intermediary, contribution and indemnity, and has in fact included these defenses in its answers to the lawsuits. As with any litigation, there is a risk of adverse judgments against the Company. The Company is actively cooperating with its insurers and counsel in the defense of these lawsuits.

Previously, a number of defendants, including the Company, entered into a global settlement agreement (“Global Settlement”) in the MDL. Under the terms of the Global Settlement, the Company would be required

28


Table of Contents

Wilshire Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

to contribute $8 million to the global settlement fund, which the Company’s insurers have agreed to pay. The judge presiding over the MDL approved the Global Settlement and found it to be fair; however, in September of 1995 that judge announced that the Global Settlement is under funded, in part due to an unexpected number of registrants and other reasons. The Company understands that efforts to resurrect or replace the Global Settlement are ongoing but that the Global Settlement may not become effective. The Company is expected to be a released party in the current draft of the replacement for the Global Settlement without any additional funding requirements from the Company or its insurers.

Separately, the Company has reached agreement with Medical Engineering Corporation and Bristol-Myers Squibb (“MEC”), whereby, in essence, MEC has agreed to indemnify the Company in all cases where a plaintiff, whose implant is within MEC’s chain of distribution, opts out of the Global Settlement. The MEC indemnification also covers Wilshire for plaintiffs who opted into the Global Settlement in the event that the Global Settlement does not become effective, so that the Company remains protected in most cases even if the Global Settlement cannot be resurrected. The Company’s insurers have funded the initial amount the Company agreed to pay to MEC in consideration of MEC’s providing such indemnification, and have agreed to pay the balance which would become due to MEC if the Global Settlement does not become effective. These funding payments reduced the limits of coverage under various CGL policies, but none of these payments or funding commitments exhausted or are expected to exhaust any of the policies’ limits or reached any excess policy.

The Company believes that the indemnification by MEC, with or without the Global Settlement, would eliminate the great majority of implant-related cases pending against the Company. However, even if the Global Settlement is finally approved, cases may remain pending against the Company involving plaintiffs who opt out of the Global Settlement and whose implants are outside of the MEC chain of distribution and hence not covered by the MEC indemnification. Accordingly there is uncertainty as to the amount the Company will be expected to pay, if any, once the insurance and indemnification sources have been exhausted. At this time no accrual has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to this matter.

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various claims and legal matters. The Company’s management does not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Contingent Liabilities Related to the Sale of the General Foam Division

8. Shareholders’ Equity (Net Capital Deficiency)

Preferred Stock

On December 3, 1992, 2,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock were authorized. The Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of the undesignated Preferred Stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, to fix or alter the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series.

Common Stock Warrants

On May 16, 1995, a Settlement Agreement was approved by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California between the Company and members of the Settlement Class in an “Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint” against the Company. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued warrants for 2,750,000 shares of common stock to the Settlement Class at an exercise price of $2.33 per share subject to adjustment to protect against dilution. The Company valued the warrants at $0.10 per underlying common share and recorded a charge to earnings of $275,000 in fiscal 1994. The Settlement Warrants are exercisable between November 28, 1999 and November 28, 2002, but only after the Company’s common stock underlying the Settlement Warrants has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company is obliged to register the underlying shares of common stock at the later of (i) the second anniversary of the date of issuance of the warrants or (ii) as soon as commercially reasonable after the date when the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over fifteen consecutive trading days is more than the revised warrant exercise price as discussed below.

In January 1996, 8,441,430 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued to Trilon Dominion Partners, L.L.C., (“Trilon”) the Company’s majority shareholder, in settlement for debt and interest outstanding. At that date, the warrant exercise price under the Settlement Agreement was not yet finally determined, the settlement warrant agreement was not signed, and the warrants did not exist. Upon the execution of the warrant agreement, the settlement warrant price and the number of shares issuable on exercise of the settlement warrants should have been adjusted and certified under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, however, such adjustment and certification were not performed by the Company. Since January 1996, the Company has issued stock, has issued warrants in connection with its debt agreements and has issued stock options to employees (under the two Company Stock option plans), vendors and consultants. Effective November 30, 2000, the Company performed a cumulative calculation of the impact of the equity transactions since January 1996 and has determined that the revised exercise price of each settlement warrant as of that date was $1.39 and the total number of shares issuable under the settlement warrants equaled 4,613,658 at the same date. In consideration of the restrictions on exercise of such warrants, a charge to earnings was not recorded for the year ended November 30, 2000 to reflect the modification as the value of the warrants is deemed to be de minimus.

On January 5, 1996, the Company and Trilon Dominion entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) for a credit line of $1,000,000 secured by the Company’s assets. Under the terms of the Agreement, the principal was due on June 30, 1996 and the interest was payable monthly at a rate of prime plus 3.75%. In connection with the loan, the Company issued Trilon Dominion a five-year warrant that entitles Trilon Dominion to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock at an exercise price of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

$0.75 per share, subject to adjustment to protect against dilution. The warrant is exercisable immediately and expired on January 5, 2001. Also, under the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued Trilon Dominion a second five-year warrant, which became exercisable when the Company and Trilon Dominion amended the Agreement to extend the termination date of the Agreement to December 31, 1996. The second warrant entitles Trilon Dominion to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, and it expired on January 5, 2001. Both warrants expired unexercised.

The Agreement was amended further on September 30, 1996, April 15, 1997, and September 19, 1997. Each amendment increased the credit line by $1,000,000, up to a total of $4,000,000 and extended the termination date to June 30, 1998. Trilon Dominion received a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares at the market price with each credit line increase, and a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares at the market price with each termination date extension. Warrants for 225,000 shares were issued in each of fiscal years 1996 and 1997. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the warrants issued to Trilon Dominion in fiscal year 1997 at $0.07 per underlying common share and recorded a corresponding charge to interest expense of $16,000 in fiscal 1997.

On September 18, 1997, the Company completed a Development and Supply Agreement for glove polymer with PTG Medical LLC, an affiliate of Polymer Technology Group, Inc. Under that Agreement, the Company issued a five-year warrant for 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.09, which was $0.25 above the average market price for the five days prior to the date of the Agreement.

On November 25, 1997, the Company completed a Lease Agreement for a manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico with Mr. Rafael Mizrachi. Under that Agreement, the Company issued a five-year warrant for 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60, which was the market price on the date of the Agreement.

The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the warrants issued to PTG Medical LLC and Mr. Rafael Mizrachi in fiscal year 1997 at $0.07 per underlying common share and recorded a corresponding charge to earnings of $10,000 in fiscal 1997.

On December 31, 1997 and on June 30, 1998 warrants issued to Trilon Dominion, each to purchase 25,000 shares, with a life of five and four and a quarter years, respectively, became exercisable at the respective exercise prices of $0.47 and $0.34 per share. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of these warrants in fiscal year 1998 at $0.07 per underlying common share and recorded a corresponding charge to interest expense of $3,500 in fiscal year 1998.

On March 31, 1998, the Company and Trilon Dominion completed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Revolving Line of Credit (the “Amended Agreement”) which included the principal of $4,000,000 from the previous Agreement and Amendments, the principal of $750,000 from the three Demand Notes, the accrued interest and management fees of $543,297 on the Agreement and Notes, and a new credit line commitment of $2,200,000. Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the principal of $7,493,297 was due on December 31, 1998, and the interest was payable quarterly at an annual rate of 11.5%. In connection with the Amended Agreement, the Company paid Trilon $100,000 for debt issuance costs and issued Trilon Dominion a five-year warrant that entitles Trilon Dominion to purchase 650,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock at an exercise price of $0.41 per share, subject to adjustment to protect against dilution. The warrant is exercisable immediately and expires on March 31, 2003. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the warrant to purchase 650,000 shares as a debt issuance cost in the second quarter of fiscal year 1998 at $0.07 per underlying common share. Also, under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the Company issued Trilon Dominion a second five-year warrant which became exercisable on December 31, 1998 when the Company and Trilon Dominion agreed to extend the termination date of the Amended Agreement from December 31, 1998 to January 31, 2000. The second warrant entitles Trilon Dominion to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock at an exercise price of $0.42 per underlying common share and expires on March 31, 2003. On December 31, 1999, the Company and Trilon Dominion agreed to extend the due date of the principal and interest from January 31,

2000 to June 30, 2000. On January 17, 2001, the due date was extended to January 31, 2002 and on January 15, 2002, the due date was further amended to January 31, 2003.

The warrants issued to Trilon Dominion contain an anti-dilutive provision which requires an adjustment in exercise price and number of shares issuable on exercise of the Trilon Dominion warrants following the issuance of stock, options, warrants and/or stock rights at an exercise price which is less than the exercise price of the Trilon Dominion warrants excluding issuance to employees. Certain of the Trilon Dominion warrants had exercise prices greater than the $0.50 exercise price for the DuPont stock option. Accordingly, the number of shares issuable on exercise of the Trilon Dominion warrants has been increased by 36,893 and the additional warrants have an average adjusted exercise price of $0.972 per share. The fair value of the additional warrants was calculated at $2,000, which was recorded as a charge to earnings in 2000. The fair value for these additional warrants was estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes method for option pricing with the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 6.04%, a dividend yield of 0%, average life of the warrants of 4.7 years and expected volatility between 50 to 60%. These additional options were cancelled on December 17, 2001 in conjunction with the cancellation of the DuPont Stock Option. (See Note 12).

Stock Options

On April 27, 1992, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock option plan for 150,000 options (“the 1992 Plan”) and on December 1, 1993, approved a second stock option plan for 250,000 options (“the 1993 Plan”). On December 6, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a third stock option plan (“the 1995 Plan”) for options on 500,000 shares, which was subsequently amended by the Shareholders on May 25, 2001 to increase the number of shares that may be issued under such plan to 2,250,000 shares. As of November 30, 2001, the following options were outstanding under each respective Stock Option Plan: none under the 1992 Plan, 122,000 under the 1993 Plan, and 1,740,000 under the 1995 Plan. In addition, there were 2,080,000 options outstanding, which were not issued under any of the above-mentioned Plans.

Under the Plans, the Company may grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”), as defined under the Internal Revenue Code or nonqualified stock options (“NQOs”). Options may be granted at not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant for ISOs. The option period cannot exceed 10 years from the date an option is granted or five years in the case in which an option is granted to a 10% shareholder of both classes of stock at the time the option is granted. Generally, if an optionee’s employment is terminated, all unvested options granted to such employee under the Plans shall terminate and may no longer be exercised.

Effective September 18, 2000, the Company signed a Product Development, Purchase and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the LYCRA® division of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”). As partial consideration, the Company granted a stock option to Dupont to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.50 a share. The right to exercise the option

was due to terminate on December 31, 2003. If the option is exercised at an amount less than all the underlying shares, it expires as to the remaining shares. The fair value of the option granted was $106,000, which was recorded as a charge to earnings in 2000. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes method for option pricing with the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 6.04%, a dividend yield of 0%, a life of the option of 2.3 years and expected volatility between 50 to 60 percent. Effective December 17, 2001, this option was cancelled. (See Note 12).

During the year ended November 30, 2000, 515,000 options were granted to employees and directors of the Company. The options vest between one and three years and have exercise terms of between five and ten years. Exercise prices of such options range between $0.50 and $0.10.

During the year ended November 30, 2001, 286,500 options were granted to employees and directors of the Company. The options vest between one and three years and have exercise terms of between five and ten years. Exercise prices of such options range between $0.10 and $0.22.

Adjusted proforma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes method for option pricing with the following assumptions for 2001: a risk free interest rate ranging from 2.20% to 4.51%, a dividend yield of 0%, a weighted-average expected life of the option of one to three years and expected volatility of 60 percent. The assumptions for computing the 2000 adjusted pro-forma information were: a risk free interest rate of 6.04%, a dividend yield of 0%, a weighted average expected life of the option of three years and expected volatility ranging from 50 to 60 percent.

For purposes of adjusted proforma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the vesting period. The Company’s adjusted proforma information is as follows:

                 
    Years Ended November 30,
   
    2001   2000
   
 
Adjusted proforma net loss
  $ (6,481,470 )   $ (5,664,851 )
Adjusted proforma net loss per share
  $ (0.50 )   $ (0.44 )

The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2001 and 2000 was $0.15 and $0.44, respectively.

At November 30, 2001, 9,866,199 shares were reserved for the issuance of options and warrants.

9. Related Party Transactions

On November 30, 2001, the Company had short-term debt outstanding to Trilon Dominion of $18,704,000 plus accrued interest of $5,164,000 (see Note 5). In addition, Trilon Dominion owned 9,416,430 shares, or 73%, of the Company’s common stock and warrants entitling it to purchase an additional 1,436,893 shares (subject to adjustments for dilution). Mr. Ronald Cantwell, who is President of Trilon Dominion, has been a director and Chairman of the Board of the Company since December 6, 1996.

10. Employee 401(k) Plan

The Company has a 401(K) plan known as the Wilshire Technologies Retirement Savings Plan (“The Plan”). The Plan is available to all regular employees on the Company’s U.S. payroll and provides employees with tax deferred salary deductions and alternate investment options. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their salary, subject to certain limitations.

11. Supplemental Information to Statement of Cash Flows

Cash paid for interest during 2001 and 2000 totaled $1,000 and $ 1,000, respectively. As further discussed in Note 4, the Company sold the net assets of the Wilshire Contamination Control Division in exchange for a receivable of $945,000 in May 2000.

12. Subsequent Events

On December 17, 2001, the Company signed Stock Option Agreements with Trilon Dominion Partners, L.L.C. (“Trilon”) and E.I. DuPont de Nemours (“DuPont”), respectively.

Under the Trilon agreement, the Company has issued to Trilon (the Company’s largest shareholder owning over 73% of the Company’s outstanding shares), 8,011,039 shares of the Company’s unissued authorized stock in cancellation of $1,291,000 of indebtedness and accrued interest. The option agreement further

34

Wilshire Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

reserves an initial 16,445,900 shares of stock (subject to further adjustments) at a price of $.14 per share, for further sale to Trilon. The Agreement contains certain covenants regarding corporate events which restrict the Company, without the prior written consent of Trilon, from a) issuing any shares of its Preferred Stock, (b) issuing any shares of its Common Stock except pursuant to warrants or options outstanding on the date hereof, (c) paying any dividend payable in stock (of any class or classes) or in any obligations or stock convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, upon its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) to holders of its Common Stock, (d) granting to holders of its Common Stock generally any rights or option, (e) effecting any capital reorganization or reclassification of capital stock of the Company, (f) consolidating with, or merging into, any other corporation or to transfer its property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or (g) effecting the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. These covenants remain in effect until the option and the additional option have been exercised or expired. In connection with any consent of Trilon to the foregoing, Trilon may require adjustments to the exercise price in order to protect its purchase rights with respect to the option. Trilon may exercise the option at any time before 2003.

The fair value of the option granted has been estimated to $375,000, which will be recorded as a charge to earnings in 2002. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes method for option pricing with the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 2.17%, a dividend yield of 0%, a life of the option of 1 year and expected volatility of 60 percent.

In concurrence with the Trilon Stock Option Agreement, the Company also entered into an agreement with DuPont whereby DuPont surrendered its option to purchase 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock or the proceeds at $.50 per share in return for an option with an exercise price of $1 million. Upon exercise of the option, DuPont would receive 10% of the proceeds (as defined in the option) from (i) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (ii) the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets by the Company or (iii) the acquisition of the Company by another entity, not affiliated with Trilon Dominion, by means of a merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which the outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued by or on behalf of the acquiring corporation (collectively a “Liquidation”).

In the event of a Liquidation before December 31, 2004, the option becomes exercisable on the day the Liquidation occurs. If there has been no Liquidation before December 31, 2004, the option becomes exercisable on December 30, 2004 and, if not exercised, expires at the close of business on that day. The Company, may in its sole discretion, extend the December 31, 2004 date on at least 15 calendar days prior written notice to DuPont.

The option will be accounted for as a value appreciation right with a liability recorded for an incremental increase in value if any.

The execution of the Trilon Agreement and the DuPont Agreement will cause certain anti-dilution adjustments under the 1997 Litigation Warrant Agreement between the Company and members of the Settlement Class in the 1994 “Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint” against the Company. (See Note 8) The Company is obligated to give written notice of the adjustments to exercise price and number of shares issuable to the Warrant holders.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company’s Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and written representations from the Company’s executive officers and directors, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2001 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with, with one exception.

Table of Contents

Payments are due from the Buyer on a quarterly basis based on fixed percentage of sales by the Buyer of certain products, as defined in the asset purchase agreement, subject to certain cash flow provisions. As no proceeds were due to the Company on the date of closing, the Company has recorded a $945,000 receivable, which equates to the net book value of the net assets sold. The Company has a secured interest in the net assets sold. All payments of the sales price will be applied against the receivable, under the cost recovery method, with no recognition of gain until the receivable is paid in full. The Company believes that the asset recorded is not impaired.

In addition to the sale of assets, the Buyer and the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide Foamex, for due consideration, certain labor, facilities, services, personnel and other items with respect to Foamex’s ongoing operation of the Division’s business.
