PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

PASW, Inc., ("PASW", the "Company", "we" and "our"), was incorporated in California in November 1992 as a developer and licensor of Internet and Web related software and software development tools. Our operations are conducted principally from an office in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California and we have a sales office in Japan. The Company completed an initial public offering of 950,000 units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant on July 29, 1999. An additional 142,500 units representing the underwriter’s overallotment was sold on September 13, 1999.

The Company has historically developed and licensed software that enabled Internet and web based communications. Our software products were embedded into systems and developed or manufactured by others.

The Company refined its strategic focus in the Fourth Quarter 1999 in order to enhance our positioning and flexibility in the rapidly growing market for Internetworking technology and to improve the utilization of our assets and competencies. Key elements of the business strategy involved the segregation of our core technology into separate business units and identifying strategic investment opportunities and/or associations with other operating companies. In conjunction with this strategy at the annual meeting on May 26, 2000 we changed our name to PASW, Inc.

Realizing that general market conditions both in the public and private markets had been deteriorating since late spring 2000 we embarked on an aggressive program to find a suitable merger/acquisition opportunity. On August 31, 2000 the Company and NetSilicon, Inc. ("NSI") entered into an agreement whereby we sold the assets of our Internet and Web software technology to NSI. The purchase price for the assets was 90,000 shares of NSI's common stock. In addition NSI agreed to grant a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for the acquired technology, to PASW and its affiliates, subject to certain limitations.

Alera Systems, Inc.

During 1999 we also established Alera Systems, Inc., formerly iApplianceNet.com ("Alera"), a development stage company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Alera was in the process of developing proprietary technology that would allow potential business customers to greatly improve the management of their distributed remote assets.

In March 2000 we began a private solicitation program and in April a private placement of 140,000 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock for net proceeds of $350,000 was completed. On August 17, 2000 an additional 20,000 shares were issued for net proceeds of $50,000.

Although Alera continued to meet performance objectives for the development and marketing of its products, capital market conditions deteriorated to the point that the additional private funding required for the Alera program could not be completed. Concurrently, the approximately $2.3 million in NSI stock received from the sale of our Internet and Web software to NetSilicon depreciated by 80% from August 31st to December 31st. This combination of factors materially impacted our ability to continue funding Alera operations and our administrative operations. During December 2000 we closed the administrative office and at the end of December ceased further development operations at Alera.

Proposed Simmons Energy Services Inc. ("SES") Merger

In February 2001, PASW entered into a letter of intent to acquire the operations of Simmons Energy Services Inc. ("SES"), a privately held Alberta (Canada) company. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, PASW would issue shares of its common stock, Series B preferred stock and Series C convertible preferred stock to acquire SES in a transaction to be accounted for as a reverse acquisition. A definitive combination agreement between PASW and SES was executed in March 2001. A term of the agreement called for PASW to initiate a private placement offering of 5,000,000 units at $4.00 per unit for an aggregate-offering price of $20,000,000.

On July 18, 2001 the Company was verbally notified by Simmons Energy Services Inc that the efforts by SES to secure the $20 million private placement were not progressing and that it appeared to SES that current market conditions could delay or curtail any future efforts to complete the private placement in time to cure the NADSAQ deficiencies in a timely manner. SES concluded that it therefore appeared that the Company could face delisting and notified the Company of its intent to terminate the combination agreement. On July 23, 2001 the Company received formal notification from SES of its intent to terminate the agreement.

Appointment of New Director and Chairman

On August 21, 2001 the Board of Directors received the resignation of Reg J. Greenslade as a member of the board of directors. Mr. Greenslade submitted his resignation subsequent to termination of negotiations with Simmons Energy Services Inc citing the need to concentrate his efforts on other business activities. The board nominated Glenn P. Russell to replace Mr. Greenslade and to assume the position of Chairman. Concurrent with Mr. Russell’s election as Chairman William E. Sliney resigned his position as Chairman but continues his positions as President and Chief Financial Officer.

Repricing of Registered Warrants

In March 2001 the Board of Directors announced the repricing of the Company's registered warrants (NASDAQ: PASWW). The exercise price of the warrants was reduced from $7.50 to $4.00 per share. In September 2001 the Board of Directors amended the terms to extend the exercise date to November 30, 2001 and to reduce the price to $1.00 on a pre-reverse split basis. In September 2001 the Board of Directors further amended the terms to reduce the price to twenty-five ($0.25) cents per share and extend the exercise date to November 30, 2002. On November 30, 2002 the warrants expired.

Notification of Delisting from NASDAQ.

In April 2001 NASDAQ notified the Company that at December 31, 2000 it was not in compliance with the Net Tangible Asset requirements of NASDAQ Market Place Rule 4310 (c)(2)(B) in that PASW failed to have a minimum of $2 million in net tangible assets. At the same time PASW was notified that in light of the "going concern" opinion from our auditors we may not be able sustain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market. In May 2001 the Company was notified that is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements of NASDAQ Market Place Rule 4310(c)(8)(B) in that the closing bid price of the Company's common stock did not meet or exceed $1.00 over 30 consecutive trading days. The Company was given until August 22, 2001 to achieve compliance. At September 30, 2001 the Company was not in compliance with any of the rules and, although notification has not been received from NASDAQ, the Company believes it is not in compliance with Market Place Rule 4310(c)(7) in that it has not maintained a minimum market value of public float of $1,000,000 over 30 consecutive trading days. On October 1, 2001 the Company received notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. that it was not in compliance with the Net Tangible Assets or Net Equity requirements for continued listing as set forth in Market Place Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) as modified by SR-NASD-01-14 and that its securities will be delisted from The NASDAQ National/Small Cap Market at the opening of business on October 9, 2001. The securities were removed form NASDAQ and subsequent to that date the PASW Common Stock (PASW) has been trading on the OTC Bulletin Board Market (OTCBB) as were the Warrants (PASWW) until their expiration on November 30, 2002.

Conversion of Preferred Stock in Subsidiary to PASW Common Stock

On October 19, 2001 the Company converted 480,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of its Alera Systems Inc. ("Alera"), a wholly owned subsidiary, to shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The preferred stock was issued in April and July 2000 as part of a private placement to provide funding for the Alera technology development activities. Each share of preferred is convertible into one share of Alera at $2.50 per share at any time within two years from closing date of the private placement or, if Alera did not become a public company or be sold to an outside party within this two year period, the holders of the preferred stock would be entitled to exchange their preferred shares into shares of PASW common stock at Eighty-five percent (85%) of its then current market price subject to a collar limit of One Dollar ($1.00) per share and a maximum of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per share. Operations of Alera were terminated in December 2000 and subsequently all preferred shareholders elected to convert in 2001 at One Dollar per share. The conversion increase’s the outstanding common shares of PASW from 4,517,400 to 4,997,400.

Appointment of new Corporate Secretary

On December 31, 2001 the Company received the resignation of Joseph Lechman as the corporate secretary of the Company. On that date the directors elected William E. Sliney as corporate secretary in addition to his other duties as President and Chief Financial Officer.

Operating Companies

We operate through two wholly owned subsidiaries: Alera Systems, Inc ("Alera") and Network Research Corporation Japan ("NRCJ"). We operate in one business segment and our fiscal year ends December 31.

Employees

As of December 31, 2002, the Company employed two individuals. We are not represented by a labor union nor are we subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We have never experienced a work stoppage. We believe that relations with our employees are good.

Subsequent Events

Sale of Network Research Corporation – Japan Distribution Business ("NRCJ")

Our NRCJ subsidiary is a distributor for products supplied by Net Silicon, Inc. Revenue from licenses of the suite of Internet and Web products and sales of services accounted for substantially all of its revenue in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. In July 2002 Net Silicon ceased producing products used by NRCJ. During the remainder of 2002 the sales of licenses of the subsidiary decreased to a point where operations became unprofitable. On January 31, 2003 the Company sold the operating assets and certain liabilities of the NRCJ distribution business to Network Technology, Inc., a new company formed by the former employees of NRCJ, for 1.0 million Japanese Yen (US $8,400). NRCJ will continue to receive royalty income from former NRCJ customers. The Company will account for this transaction as a discontinued operation in 2003.

Change of Accountants

The Company has used the services of Merdinger, Fruchter, Rosen & Co. ("MFRC") as its independent accountant since 1996. In January 2003 the Company was informed by MRFC that it was exiting the business of auditing publicly traded companies. The Company has selected Skeehan & Company as its new auditor effective February 27, 2003. The Company’s Board of Directors recommended and approved the change in the Company’s certifying accountants.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

PASW conducts its operations from a business office located in San Ramon, California. In Japan we have subleased space of approximately 700 square feet at a monthly rate of approximately $2,000 on a month-to-month basis.

We believe that these facilities are adequate for our current needs at this time.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not currently involved in any litigation that is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial position. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not assert infringement or other claims against the Company in the future which, regardless of the outcome, could have an adverse impact on the Company as a result of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There have been no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter ended December 31, 2002.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In March 2001 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a resolution changing the terms of the Company’s registered public warrants exercise price from $7.50 to $1.00 per share and extended the expiration date from July 29, 2001 to November 30, 2001. In September 2001 the Company reduced the exercise price to $0.25 and extended the expiration date to November 30, 2002. The registered warrants expired on November 30, 2002. Also in September 2001 the Company repirced all outstanding non-public options and warrants to an exercise price of $0.25, fully vested, with an expiration date of September 17, 2006.

On October 19, 2001 the Company converted 480,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of "Alera", a wholly owned subsidiary, to shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The preferred stock was issued in April and July 2000 as part of a private placement to provide funding for the Alera technology development activities. Each share of preferred is convertible into one share of Alera at $2.50 per share at any time within two years from closing date of the private placement or, if Alera did not become a public company or be sold to an outside party within this two year period, the holders of the preferred stock would be entitled to exchange their preferred shares into shares of PASW common stock at Eighty-five percent (85%) of its then current market price subject to a collar limit of One Dollar ($1.00) per share and a maximum of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per share. Operations of Alera were terminated in December 2000 and subsequently all preferred shareholders elected to convert in 2001 at One Dollar per share. The conversion increase’s the outstanding common shares of PASW from 4,517,400 to 4,997,400.

Overview

PASW was incorporated in California in November 1992 as a developer and licensor of Internet and Web related software and software development tools. Our operations are conducted principally from an office in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California and we have a sales office in Japan. The Company completed an initial public offering of 950,000 units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant on July 29, 1999. An additional 142,500 units representing the underwriter’s overallotment was sold on September 13, 1999.

The Company has historically developed and licensed software that enabled Internet and web based communications. Our software products were embedded into systems and developed or manufactured by others.

Realizing that general market conditions both in the public and private markets had been deteriorating since late spring 2000 we embarked on an aggressive program to find a suitable merger/acquisition opportunity. On August 31, 2000 the Company and NSI entered into an agreement whereby we sold the assets of our Internet and Web software technology to NSI. The purchase price for the assets was 90,000 shares of NSI's common stock. In addition NSI agreed to grant a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for the acquired technology, to PASW and its affiliates, subject to certain limitations.

During 1999 we also established Alera a development stage company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Alera was in the process of developing proprietary technology that would allow potential business customers to greatly improve the management of their distributed remote assets.

Although Alera continued to meet performance objectives for the development and marketing of its products, capital market conditions deteriorated to the point that the additional private funding required for the Alera program could not be completed. Concurrently, the approximately $2.3 million in NSI stock received from the sale of our Internet and Web software to NSI depreciated by 80% from August 31st to December 31st. This combination of factors materially impacted our ability to continue funding Alera operations and our administrative operations. During December 2000 we closed the administrative office and at the end of December ceased further development operations at Alera.

All of the Company’s 2001 and 2002 revenues were derived from sales in Japan and Asia.

Net revenue

Our net revenues from continuing operations decreased 31% to $413,639 from $595,353 from 2001 to 2002 reflecting our sale of operations in the United States in 2000. Sales of licenses in Japan, our remaining selling operation, decreased 37% from 2001 and royalty revenue in Japan decreased by 11% from 2001 to 2002 to $124,606 from $139,895.

With the sale of our distribution business in January 2003 royalty revenue in Japan will represent substantially all of our net revenue. Any change in the value of the dollar against the Japanese Yen may reduce or increase our revenue in US dollars from our Japanese royalty revenue.

Cost of revenue

The cost of our license revenue for the year 2002 was $149,533 or 52% of license sales compared to $272,219 or 60% of license sales in 2001. The decrease in cost of sales reflects improvements in purchases of products from suppliers in Japan and the United States.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased from $387,379 in 2001 to $301,929 in 2002. This decrease is the result of maintaining a sales office in Japan and eliminating all operations in the United States except for an administrative staff of one individual.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $2,228 in 2002 from $7,543 in 2001. The depreciation for both years was incurred at our Japanese office.

Other income and expense

In 2002 we received interest income of $2,958 in our Japanese operations compared to $1,559 in 2001. In the 2001 we incurred losses on sales of securities of $1,215,369.

Loss from discontinued operations

In 2001 we had a loss from discontinued operations of $21,356 from remaining expenses of our web-based technologies.

Provision for taxes

In February 1999 the Company terminated its S election and became subject to taxation. For 2002 and 2001 the Company had no income tax liability.

Liquidity and capital resources

At December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 we had working capital (deficiency) of $(9,191) and $39,100 and cash and cash equivalents of $98,901 and $152,148.

We used $40,294 in cash flow from operating activities for 2002 compared to $338,402 for 2001. The decrease in use of cash of $298,108 was the result of a decreased loss for the year of $37,093 compared to a loss of $1,306,954 in 2001. Cash generated or used in operating activities principally reflect the loss from operations and the related changes in working capital components.

Our investing activities in 2002 consisted of acquisition of fixed assets of $623 in our Japanese office. In 2001 we purchased marketable securities of $136,500 and sold marketable securities of $302,856.

We had no financing activities in 2002. In 2001 our financing activities consisted of a loan from a related party of $32,075.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

This report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, contains forward-looking statements and other prospective information relating to future events. These forward-looking statements and other information are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results, including the following:

We received a Going Concern opinion from our auditors on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Those statements indicate that we have reported losses for our last two years and if we do not become profitable our business could be adversely affected.

We reported losses of $1,306,954 and $37,093 for 2001 and 2002. We also have an accumulated deficit of $6,402,763 and a stockholders' equity of $1,167 as of December 31, 2002. We can provide no assurance we will be profitable in the future and if we do not become profitable our business could be adversely affected.

We were delisted by the NASDAQ Stock Market on October 9, 2001 and our stock has been trading on the OTC Bulletin Board Market (OTCBB) since that time.

The NASDAQ National/Small Cap Market delisted our stock at the opening of business on October 9, 2001. The securities were removed from NASDAQ and subsequent to that date the PASW Common Stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board Market (OTCBB) as were the Warrants (PASWW) until their expiration on November 30, 2002. While we still have market makers for our securities there can be no assurance we can continue to rely on our current market makers and that the price and trading volume of our securities could not be materially affected.

Our only operating subsidiary lost its major supplier of product in July 2002.

Our NRCJ subsidiary is a distributor for products supplied by NSI. Revenue from licenses of the suite of Internet and Web products and sales of services accounted for substantially all of its revenue in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. In July 2002 Net Silicon ceased producing products used by NRCJ. During the remainder of 2002 the sales of licenses of the subsidiary decreased to a point where operations became unprofitable. The operations were sold in January 2003. There is no assurance that the remaining royalty income is sufficient to allow the Company to continue operations.

We have limited resources available to continue operations unless a successful transaction is completed with a merger partner or that additional funding can be obtained from outside sources.

At the present time we have limited resources available to continue operations other than maintaining day-to-day activities without any capabilities for expansion. The revenue received from royalties of our NRCJ subsidiary is sufficient to handle only maintenance administrative operations for the Company. While efforts are in process to seek a merger partner or other means of financing there is no assurance that any means can be obtained to permit the Company to resume any form of operations which could expand the business.

Because our ownership is concentrated, our officers and directors and independently our majority stockholder will be able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval including delaying or preventing a change in our corporate control or taking other actions of which individual shareholders may disapprove.

Our officers, directors and independently the majority stockholder beneficially own approximately 60% of our outstanding common stock. These parties will be able to exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval and other investors will have minimal influence over the election of directors or other stockholder actions. As a result, our officers, directors and independently the majority stockholder could approve or cause the Company to take actions of which you disapprove or that are contrary to your interests.

Issuance of our authorized preferred stock could discourage a change in control, could reduce the market price of our common stock and could result in the holders of preferred stock being granted voting rights that are superior to those of the holders of common stock.

The Company is authorized to issue preferred stock without obtaining the consent or approval of stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control. Management also has the right to grant superior voting rights to the holders of preferred stock. Any issuance of preferred stock could materially and adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the voting rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock may also result in the loss of the voting control of holders of common stock to the holders of preferred stock.

Trading in our common stock and warrants may be limited and could negatively affect the ability to sell your securities.

A public market for our common stock and our warrants has only existed since July 29, 1999, the date of our initial public offering. We do not know how liquid the market for our stock and warrants will remain and if the market becomes illiquid, it may negatively affect your ability to resell your securities.

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of December 31, 2002 for:

  • each person who is known to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock,

  • each of our executive officers and directors and

  • all executive officers and directors as a group.

The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 4,997,400 shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2002.

Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons and entities listed below have sole voting and investment power over their shares of common stock, except to the extent that individuals share authority with spouses under applicable law.

Shares of common stock not outstanding but deemed beneficially owned because an individual has the right to acquire the shares of common stock within 60 days are treated as outstanding when determining the amount and percentage of common stock owned by that individual and by all directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock shown.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In March 1996, PASW agreed with a former officer, director and principal stockholder to a buyout of his employment agreement and Glenn P. Russell agreed to purchase all of that former officer's shares of common stock of PASW. PASW and that former officer also entered into a consulting agreement and that former officer agreed not to compete with PASW. PASW paid the former officer $ 257,143 and $314,286 for 1999 and 1998, respectively. As of December 31, 2001 the Company has satisfied its obligations to the former officer in full.

In December 1998, Luke Systems International, a company controlled by the spouse of Glenn P. Russell, loaned PASW $100,000 interest free. In March 1999, PASW repaid the loan.

During 1998 and a portion of 1999 Company subleased a portion of the premises to Luke Systems International. The Company believes that the terms of Luke’s occupancy are favorable to the Company. This affiliated company relocated to other premises before September 30, 1999.

At July 1, 1999 the Company owed a bank approximately $250,000 for advances that were obtained under a line of credit. Glenn P. Russell has provided our bank with his personal guarantee and the Company has collateralized our accounts receivable as security for these advances. This amount was repaid in August 1999.

During 1996, 1997 and 1998 we employed Glenn P. Russell’s mother, a resident of the United Kingdom, to perform various administrative and managerial tasks for us within that country. We paid her $105,769 in 1998. She ceased to be our employee in the fall of 1998.

In February 2001 Luke Systems International loaned the Company $32,075 which remains outstanding at December 31, 2002.

During 2002 an officer of PASW was paid $30,000 in management fees. During 2002 the Company occupied office space in California provided by an officer at no charge.

PASW believes that the transactions described above, other than the employment of the mother of Glenn P. Russell, were made on terms no less favorable to PASW than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, PASW. carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

 

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

PASW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (PASW)

We audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PASW as of December 31, 2002, and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of PASW as of December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 16, 2002, on those statements, included an explanatory paragraph that described the significant operating losses PASW incurred to date and negative cash flows from operations discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that 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 our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PASW as of December 31, 2002, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared assuming PASW will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, PASW has incurred significant operating losses to date and has negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to PASW’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to those matters are discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

PASW, Inc., formerly Pacific Softworks, Inc. (the Company), incorporated in California in November 1992, developed and licensed Internet and Web related software and software development tools that enable communications, based on a set of rules known as protocols. The Company’s products were embedded into systems and developed or manufactured by others. In August 2000, the Company sold all the assets of its Internet and Web operations. Since that time, the Company’s operations, consisting of sales of software and licenses, have been conducted principally through an administrative office in Northern California and a sales office in Japan.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PASW, Inc. ("PSI") and its wholly owned subsidiaries:

Network Research Corp. Japan, Ltd. ("NRCJ");

Alera Systems, Inc. ("Alera"), formerly iApplianceNet.com ("iAppliance"), a California Corporation;

Pacific Acquisition Corporation ("PAC"), a California Corporation; and

PASW Europe Limited ("Europe"), a United Kingdom Corporation.

All references herein to PSI or the "Company" include the consolidated results of PSI and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

Alera is a wholly owned subsidiary of PSI and was incorporated in California in August 1999. Alera began operations in January 2000, and was inactive at December 31, 2001.

PAC and Europe were inactive in 2002 and 2001.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

PSI is a licensor of software and generates revenue primarily from the one-time sales of licensed software. Generally, revenue is recognized upon shipment of the licensed software. For multiple element license arrangements, the license fee is allocated to the various elements based on fair value. When a multiple element arrangement includes rights to a post-contract customer support, the portion of the license fee allocated to each function is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

PSI considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

PSI places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances may exceed FDIC insured levels at various times during the year.

Approximately 63% of PSI’s accounts receivable are derived from one customer.

Accounts Receivable

For financial reporting purposes, PSI uses the allowance method of accounting for doubtful accounts. PSI performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if required, maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. The allowance is based on an experience factor and review of current accounts receivable. Uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance accounts when deemed uncollectible. No accounts were deemed uncollectible at December 31, 2002 or 2001.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, primarily on a straight-line basis. The estimated lives used in determining depreciation are five to seven years for furniture, fixtures and computer equipment. Purchased computer software costs are amortized over five years.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the disposed assets are removed and any resulting gain or loss is recorded.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

PSI’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the highly liquid nature of these short-term instruments at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recovery of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment 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 the cost to sell.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs of $1,140 in 2001, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising, are expensed when incurred. The costs of direct-response advertising, if any, are capitalized and amortized over the period during which future benefits are expected to be received.

Translation of Foreign Currency

PSI translates foreign currency financial statements of NRCJ in accordance with SFAS 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income.

Stock-Based Compensation

PSI uses the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation for employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25. See Note 6 for proforma disclosure of net income and earnings per share under the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation as proscribed by SFAS No. 123.

Earnings Per Share

SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS").

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investment in Equity Securities

PSI accounts for its investments in equity securities under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". This standard provides that available-for-sale investments in securities that have readily determinable fair values be measured at fair value in the balance sheet and that unrealized holding gains and losses for these investments be reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES

During 2001, PSI recognized losses as follows:

Proceeds from sale

$ 302,856

NOTE 5 - CAPITAL STOCK

PSI is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01. Preferred shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The number of shares in each series and the designation of each series to be issued shall be determined from time to time by the board of directors of PSI.

On August 17, 2000, an additional 20,000 shares were issued for net proceeds of $50,000. The preferred shares carry a 5% dividend payable semi-annually in common shares of Alera valued at $2.50 per share.

The preferred shares were converted into 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock during 2001 at a conversion value of $1.00 per share.

NOTE 6 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 17, 1998, PSI adopted the 1998 Equity Incentive Program (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for granting of the following Stock Awards: (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Non-Statutory Stock Options, (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights, (iv) Stock Bonuses, and (v) Rights to acquire Restricted Stock. Persons eligible to receive Stock Awards are the employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates, as defined. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees. Stock awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to all eligible persons.

The maximum term of any options granted is ten years. Vesting requirements may vary, and will be determined by the board of directors.

The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is 451,740 shares.

In 1998, PSI granted certain non-statutory options to purchase shares of common stock to two employees. Each option is for 70,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The options vested in 1999 and expire December 31, 2003.

In 1999, PSI granted certain non-statutory options to purchase shares of common stock to three directors. Each option is for 15,000 shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, vested immediately, and expire in 2003.

On May 1, 1999, PSI granted stock options to certain employees, for 283,000 shares. The options are exercisable for five years at a price of $5.00 per share for 253,000 shares and $5.50 per share for 30,000 shares. The options are fully vested.

On December 1, 1999, PSI’s president and chief financial officer was granted options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $5.75 per share. These options expire on November 30, 2004. On October 5, 2000, these options were cancelled and 75,000 options were issued to the same individual. The options provide for an exercise price of $2.50 and expire on October 4, 2004.

The fair value of these options, using the Black Sholes option pricing model with a risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, a life of 3 years, volatility of 0% and a dividend rate of 0%, is $195,280. This amount has been included in the proforma net loss presented below.

NOTE 7 - WARRANTS

In connection with its initial public offering in 1999, PSI issued common stock purchase warrants. At December 31, 2001, 1,134,100 warrants were outstanding. None were exercised during 2002. During 2001, PSI extended the life of the warrants to November 30, 2002 and reduced the exercise price to $0.25 per share. The warrants expired on November 30, 2002.

On September 18, 2001 PSI issued 560,000 fully vested common stock purchase warrants as compensation for services by professionals and consultants. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 per share and expire September 18, 2006.

PSI also canceled its outstanding employee options and other warrants, and on September 18, 2001 issued 642,674 new fully vested warrants, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share expiring on September 18, 2006.

PSI valued the 1,202,674 warrants issued in 2001 using the Black Sholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: interest rate of 4.5%, life of 5 years, volatility of 145% and expected dividend yield of -0-%. The per warrant fair value is $0.10 and a total expense of $124,781 was recorded during 2001.

Warrants to purchase 20,000 shares were issued on October 5, 2000 for services. These warrants may be exercised at $2.50 per share until October 5, 2004.

Warrants to purchase 1,180,000 shares were issued to professionals who rendered consulting services in connection with PSI’s restructuring. Each of these warrants could be exercised at $5.75 per unit until November 2004. On October 5, 2000, these warrants were canceled. PSI issued 220,000 repriced warrants at an exercise price of $2.50, expiring on October 5, 2004. The fair value of the repriced options was less than the remaining fair value of the original warrants on the date of repricing.

 

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit for deferred taxes was established due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the tax carryforward.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components PSI’s deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:

NOTE 12 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On August 31, 2000, PSI and NETsilicon, Inc. ("NSI") entered into an agreement whereby PSI sold the assets of its PSI Softworks Technology subsidiary ("PSIT") to NSI. The assets primarily consisted of PSIT’s Internet and Web software. The purchase price for the assets was 90,000 shares of NSI’s common stock, valued at $2,328,750 (fair value on date of sale). In addition, NSI granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for the acquired technology to PSI and its affiliates, subject to certain limitations. NSI is expected to retain substantially all of PSIT’s personnel as part of a newly formed operating group. The operations sold are accounted for as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes. Revenue attributable to discontinued operations was $21,356 in 2001.

NOTE 13 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the PSI as a going concern. However, PSI had net operating losses of $6,402,490 since inception and a negative cash flow from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about PSI’s ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon PSI’s ability to raise sufficient capital to fund its working capital requirements until the Company can generate sufficient sales volume to cover its operating expenses. As of December 31, 2002, the Company is actively seeking a reverse merger candidate.

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT AND PROFORMA DISCLOSURES

NRCJ is a distributor for products supplied by NSI. Revenue from licenses of the suite of Internet and Web products and sales of services accounted for substantially all of its revenue in 2002 and 2001. In July 2002 NSI ceased producing products used by NRCJ. During the remainder of 2002 the sales of licenses of the subsidiary decreased to a point where operations became unprofitable. On January 31, 2003 the Company sold the operating assets and certain liabilities of the NRCJ distribution business to Network Technology, Inc., a new company formed by the former employees of NRCJ, for 1.0 million Japanese Yen (US $8,400). NRCJ will continue to receive royalty income from former NRCJ customers.

PSI’s unaudited proforma financial statements are presented below and reflect the December 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheet and the sale of NRCJ as if the transaction occurred on December 31, 2002 and statement of operations as if NRCJ were disposed of on January 1, 2002.
