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. 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 underwriters over allotment 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 certain 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. Russells 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
- 4 -
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 Companys 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 increases 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.
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 Companys Board of Directors recommended and approved the change in the Companys certifying accountants.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Dividends
The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock. The Company currently intends to retain earnings for use in its business and, therefore, does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In March 2001 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a resolution changing the terms of the Companys 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 repriced 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 Companys 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 increases the outstanding common shares of PASW from 4,517,400 to 4,997,400.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSISION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10KSB. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this document. Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this report (including without limitation, statements indicating that the Company "expects," "estimates," anticipates," or "believes" and all other statements concerning future financial results, product offerings, proposed acquisitions or combinations or other events that have not yet occurred) are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown factors, risks and uncertainties, which may cause the Companys actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results.
Introduction
PASW was incorporated in California in November 1992 as a developer and licensor of Internet and Web related software and software development tools. 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 underwriters over allotment was sold on September 13, 1999. We developed and sold software development tools until August 2000. At that time we sold all of our development activities to another company while maintaining a sales office in Japan. In December 2002 we closed the Japanese office but we continue to receive royalty income from a single customer in Japan. Our remaining administrative operations are conducted principally from an office in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California.

All of the Companys 2002 and 2003 revenues were derived from royalties in Japan.
Results of Operations
Our net revenues from continuing operations increased 76% to $219,384 in 2003 from $124,606 in 2002. All of the revenue consists of royalty income received from Japan. Since all or the revenue was in the form of royalties we had a minimal cost of sales in 2002 resulting from costs associated with the sale of our Japanese operations and a zero cost of sales in 2003 . Selling, general and administrative expense increased to 147,513 in 2003 compared to $77,839 in 2002. The increase in expense represented continued operations of a corporate office in California and legal fees incurred from the sale of our Japanese subsidiary at the end of 2002. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $0 in 2003 from $2,228 in 2002. The depreciation for 2002 was incurred at our Japanese office. In 2003 we recorded a gain $4,380 on the sale of property in Japan. There were no other income or expense items in 2002.
Loss from discontinued operations
In 2003 we had a gain from discontinued operations of $1,331 compared to a loss of $81,117 in 2002 resulting from the sale of our web-based technologies in Japan.
Liquidity and capital resources
At December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 we had working capital of $ 72,318 and ($9,191) and cash of $189,053 and $98,901. We generated $80,411 in cash flow from operating activities for 2003 compared to using ($40,924) for 2002. The increase in cash of $121,335 was the result of an increase in net profit for the year of $70,032, including a gain from discontinued operations of $1,331 compared to a loss of ($40,924) after deducting ($81,117) for discontinued operations in 2002. Cash generated or used in operating activities principally reflect the loss from operations and the related changes in working capital components. We had investing activities of $8,622 through the gain on sale of fixed assets in 2003 compared ($623) in purchase of fixed assets in 2002. We had no financing activities in 2003 or 2002.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Corporation's accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Our only source of revenue comes from a royalty license agreement with a single customer in Japan. We invoice the customer monthly based on units sold and recognize the revenue at the time of billing.
- 9 -
Translation of Foreign Currency
We translate foreign currency financial statements 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. Since foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income any fluctuations in the value of the Japanese Yen and the US Dollar impact the values of our royalty income and the asset values recorded in the Japanese operation..
Concentration of Credit Risk
We place our cash in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions in the US and Japan. However, cash balances may exceed maximum insured levels in both countries at various times during the year. Furthermore, 100% of our accounts receivable are derived from one customer in Japan.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
This report, including Managements 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, 2003, December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Those statements indicate that we have reported losses for two of the last three years and if we do not become profitable our business could be adversely affected.
We reported a gain of $74,713 in 2003 but sustained losses of ($37,093) in 2002 and ($1,306,954) in 2001. We also have an accumulated deficit of ($6,328,050) and a stockholders' equity of $76,999 as of December 31, 2003. 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.
- 10 -
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. Our warrants expire on November 30, 2000 and we do not know how liquid the market for our stock will remain and if the market becomes illiquid, it may negatively affect your ability to resell your securities.

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.
- 15 -
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 Lukes 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. Russells 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, 2003.
During 2003 an officer of PASW was paid $30,000 in management fees. During 2003 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.

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, 2003 and 2002, and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits 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, 2003 and 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, although PASW has positive cash flows from operations in 2003, it has incurred significant operating losses to date. These factors raise substantial doubt as to PASWs ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans with respect to those matters are discussed in Note 12 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, 2003 AND 2002
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 Companys 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 Companys 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:
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, PAC and Europe were inactive in 2003 and 2002.
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.
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.
PSIs 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, 2003 or 2002.
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
PSIs 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, 2003 and 2002. the fair value of the shareholder advances cannot be determined due to the related party nature of the obligation.
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.
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.
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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not materially impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No.150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." The statement requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as a liability. Many of those instruments were classified as equity under previous guidance. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. Otherwise, it is effective on July 1, 2003 except for mandatory redeemable non controlling (minority) interest which, on October 29, 2003 the FASB decided to defer indefinitely. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not materially impact the Companys financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 10 - 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 PSITs Internet and Web software. The purchase price for the assets was 90,000 shares of NSIs 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 PSITs personnel as part of a newly formed operating group. The operations sold are accounted for as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes.
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 $8,622). NRCJ will continue to receive royalty income from former NRCJ customers.
NOTE 12 - 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. Although PSI had positive cash flows in 2003, it had net operating losses of $6,332,731 since inception. PSIs only operating subsidiary NRCJ sold all its revenue producing assets in 2003 and there is no assurance that the remaining royalty income is sufficient to allow the Company to continue operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about PSIs ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, PSI is dependent on its ability to raise sufficient cdapital to fund its working capital requirements until the Company can generate sufficient sales volume to cover its operating expenses. As of December 31, 2003, the Company is actively seeking a reverse merger.
