5 THE CATTLESALE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (In thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The CattleSale Company (the "Company") (formerly known as Dynacore Holdings Corporation) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments made in the interim statements are of a normal recurring nature. It is recommended that these statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The results include those of the acquired subsidiaries (Note 3) from February 25, 2003 through June 30, 2003. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Applicable Subsequent to December 31, 2002 The Company, under contract with cattle sellers and approved buyers, brokers cattle throughout the United States. The purchase price typically is payable in three installments: A non-refundable consignment fee is paid by the seller at the time the consignment contract is made. This consignment fee is recognized as revenue when received; A non-refundable deposit of approximately $40 per head of cattle is paid by the buyer and immediately paid to the seller upon the consummation of the sales transaction. The Company defers any revenue recognition on the partial payment until the cattle is delivered; and The balance of the purchase price is due when the delivery of the cattle is made. The Company recognizes the revenue of the full sale at this point. The Company records revenue at the gross amount received from the buyers. The amounts paid to the sellers and commissions paid to the regional representatives are then recorded as costs of sales and selling costs, respectively. This is the policy of the previous management of the acquired subsidiaries who had determined that the following circumstances support this position: a. The Company enters into a separate contract with the seller and the buyer to purchase and sell the cattle, respectively. According to the terms of the contracts, the Company maintains the right to remove a sale from its web site at any time and reserves the right to refuse a bid at any time. b. The Company takes title to the cattle during the period in which the cattle are removed from the seller's property but before they are loaded onto the buyer's property. c. The Company has the risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery, or returns. 6 The Company's management is currently reviewing the issue of whether to record revenue at the gross amount received, versus recording only the net retained as commission revenue, based on the Company's current method of operations and structuring of the transactions. Management does not believe that, given the volume of transactions, the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 as reported are misleading, should it be determined that recording the net amount received was more appropriate. Earnings per share is calculated on the assumption that accumulated undeclared dividends on the Preferred Stock will be paid in cash or common stock. It is possible that the Company could require the holders of the preferred stock to accept additional preferred stock with a fair value lower than the cash dividend. 3. Acquisition Background From the time it emerged from bankruptcy in December 2000 through February 24, 2003, the Company had no significant revenue or cash producing activities and was actively seeking a merger or acquisition partner. Acquisition of Interests On February 25, 2003, the Company acquired all of the beneficial interests (the "Interests") in two limited liability companies owned by AEI Environmental, Inc. ("AEI"), CS Livestock Commissions Co. LLC and CS Auction Production Co. LLC (collectively, the "Subsidiaries"), pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement of even date therewith (the "Acquisition Agreement"). After the acquisition was consummated, the Company changed its name from "Dynacore Holdings Corporation" to "The CattleSale Company." The Company, through the Subsidiaries, is now in the business of providing auction trading services to producers of beef and dairy cattle, which is accessible by the internet at the website www.cattlesale.com. The cattlesale.com website was one of the first sites offering a neutral cattle trading exchange and providing information and cost efficiencies to the cattle industry for each stage of the production cycle. Management believes that the CattleSale products and services reduce transaction costs and improve information flow and market efficiencies in cattle production. The amount of consideration paid by the Company for the Interests in the Subsidiaries was determined by negotiation, based on a mutual assessment by the Company and AEI of the value of the Subsidiaries' business and the real value of the Company's Common Stock. Further, the acquisition was structured to avoid causing a negative impact on the Company's net operating loss carry-forward. The Company did not expend any cash in acquiring the Interests. Rather, the consideration for the Interests consisted of: o 1,323,000 shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") having the principal terms described below under the heading "Preferred Stock;" and o 9,593,168 shares of Common Stock, which equaled forty-nine percent (49%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, on a fully-diluted basis, immediately subsequent to the closing. Dividend to Shareholders Upon the purchase of the Interests in the Subsidiaries, the Company declared a dividend payable to its Common Stockholders of record on February 24, 2003 (the "Record Holders"). The dividend was payable in .02503 of a share of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and .11287 of a share of Series B Preferred Stock per share of Common Stock. An aggregate of 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,127,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were also issued (collectively, the "Dividend Shares"). The Series A Preferred Stock has the principal terms described below under the heading "Preferred Stock." The Dividend Shares were issued in escrow, as described below under the heading "Escrow of Dividend Shares." Additional paid-in-capital was reallocated to the Preferred Stock at an amount equal to the par value of the common shares into which the Preferred Stock would be convertible. 7 Escrow of Dividend Shares The Dividend Shares are being held in escrow by Asher B. Edelman, in the capacity of escrow agent for the benefit of the Record Holders, until such time as the Dividend Shares have been registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company intends to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the Dividend Shares, and the shares issued to AEI at the closing, as soon as practicable; however, the Company cannot anticipate when such a registration will become effective and the Dividend Shares released from escrow. During the period the Dividend Shares are held in escrow, the escrow agent has the power to vote the Dividend Shares on any matter submitted to the vote of the Company's shareholders. Preferred Stock The rights and preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Preferred Stock"), which each have a par value of $.01 per share, are as follows: Dividends. Dividends accrue and are cumulative from the date of issuance in an annual amount equal to 2.5% per year per share, based on the $10 per share liquidation preference, payable semi-annually, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends are payable in cash, shares of Preferred Stock (valued at $10 per share) or shares of Common Stock (valued, (x) if there is a market for the Common Stock, at the average price of a share of Common Stock during the last thirty (30) days of trading, or (y) if there is not a market for the Common Stock, at $1.38 per share), or any combination thereof. Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into 7.25 shares of Common Stock. Redemption. At any time after the earlier of: o a merger or consolidation effecting the sale in one or a series of related transactions of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or a sale of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company's outstanding voting securities, or o the realization by the Company of aggregate net proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 in connection with the sale of Common Stock pursuant to a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a "Qualified Public Offering"), the Preferred Stock will be redeemed by the Company for cash in an amount equal to the liquidation preference of $10 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends as of the redemption date; provided, however, that (i) the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock will be subject to the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock, and (ii) not more than forty percent (40%) of the net offering proceeds of the Qualified Public Offering will be applied to the redemption of the Preferred Stock. Registration of Shares The Company intends to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the shares issued to AEI and the Dividend Shares as soon as practicable. 8 Fair Market Values The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Subsidiaries at the date of acquisition, adjusted for additional acquisition costs of $27. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the purchase price allocation. Date of As of Acquisition Adjustment June 30, 2003 Current Assets $147 $147 Property, Plant & Equipment 130 130 Goodwill 679 27 706 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Assets Acquired 956 27 983 Current Liabilities Assumed 171 171 Net Assets Acquired $785 27 $812 The total transaction value was $812 which included Common Stock valued at $96, Series B Preferred Stock valued at $566 and $150 of transaction costs. The combined value of the Common and Preferred Stock was based on the closing price of the Common Stock for several days before and after the announcement of the terms of the transaction as the Company's pre-merger shareholders were to receive a dividend of a proportionate amount of the Preferred Stock. This value was then adjusted to reflect (i) a dividend of Dynacore Patent Litigation Trust (the "Trust") units of beneficial interest (the "Trust units") to the Company's pre-merger shareholders, and (ii) that the Series A Preferred Stock received by the Company's pre-merger shareholders had liquidation preferences superior to those of the Series B Preferred Stock. The value allocated to the Trust units was based on the relative quoted price of the Company's Common Stock and the Trust units when market quotations for the Trust units were first available. The combined value of the Common and Preferred Stock was allocated to the Common Stock to the extent of its par value with the remainder allocated to the Preferred Stock because of the substantial liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock compared to the Common Stock. 4. Liquidity As of June 30, 2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million. While the Company has a loan receivable from the Dynacore Patent Litigation Trust ( the "Trust") of approximately $852 plus accrued interest of approximately $115, virtually the only source of recovery would be from net proceeds of the patent litigation (Note 5). It is unlikely that the Trust will receive such proceeds in the near future, if at all. Despite its cash saving measures, the Company does not believe that it will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its cash requirements for 2003 without an infusion of additional cash. While the Company is actively exploring various opportunities, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available or that the Company will be able to fulfill its obligations. 5. Patent Litigation The Company believes that the patents it owned prior to their transfer to the Trust covered most products introduced by various suppliers to the networking industry and certain types of dual-speed technology introduced by various industry leaders and had asserted one or both of the patents in four suits brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the "Brooklyn Suits") and two suits brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Manhattan Suits"). These actions were transferred to the Trust for prosecution on behalf of the owners of the Trust units. The Company is obligated to lend the Trust up to $1 million to pursue the patent litigation. As of June 30, 2003, the outstanding principal amount owed to the Company by the Trust was approximately $852 with accrued interest of approximately $115. 9 The Brooklyn Suits were dismissed on appeal on February 15, 2002. On August 19, 2002 and February 3, 2003, the Trust settled the Manhattan Suits against, respectively, Motorola, Inc. and Eastman Kodak Company. The remaining defendants in the Manhattan Suits received summary judgment in their favor on February 11, 2003. The Trust filed a timely appeal to reverse this ruling. If the judgment is not vacated, the Trust will be precluded from further pursuing these cases. 6. Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is a defendant in lawsuits generally incidental to its business. The Company is not currently aware of any such suit which, if decided adversely to the Company, would result in a material liability. 7. Non-Operating Income (Expense) (In thousands)

8. Accounts Receivable As of June 30, 2003, the Company had trade receivables of approximately $172. In addition, the Company has a receivable from Vugate, Inc., the buyer of its videoconferencing business (MINX), consisting of a note with a remaining face value of $235 that is payable only from certain Vugate cash flows. This note is carried on the balance sheet at $191, which represents the present value of the estimated payments at a discount rate of 12.5% per annum. The Company calculates imputed interest income at 12.5% per annum on the adjusted balance on a prospective basis. While the Company currently believes that the receivable is fully collectible, it is reasonably possible that the note will be collected at a slower or faster rate than estimated or that a portion of the note will turn out to be uncollectible. An additional $6 is receivable from other parties. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had a $852 receivable from the Trust plus $115 of accrued interest. Included in this receivable is $57, which the Company has billed the Trust for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2003, representing reimbursement of certain general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company in providing administrative and financial support to the Trust for these periods. The collection of the receivable is solely dependent upon the success or favorable settlement of the Patent Litigation. In view of the summary judgment granted to the defendants in the Patent Litigation on February 11, 2003, an allowance for the full amount of the receivable was recorded as of June 30, 2003. The Company has not recorded the accrued interest as income. 9. Accrued Expenses (In thousands) June 30, 2003 Dec. 31, 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salaries, commissions, and other benefits $71 $50 Accrued professional fees 106 136 Other 7 21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $184 $207 ================================================================================ 10 10.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002) ($ in thousands) Results of Operations For the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2003, the Company reported a net loss of $602 and $930, an operating loss of $608 and $945, recorded revenue of $423 and $520, yielding a gross profit of $8 and $10, and a gross profit margin of approximately 1.9% and 1.9%, respectively. For the same periods, the Company reported non-operating income of approximately $6 and $15, respectively. For the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported a net loss of $1,014 and $930 and an operating loss of $641 and $1,189, respectively. For the three month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported non-operating expense of approximately $373, consisting of interest income of $6, imputed interest of $14, a foreign currency transaction loss of $54 (primarily related to the liability for the pension benefits and other post employment obligations for all employees of the Company's German subsidiary) and equity in loss of a limited partnership of $339. For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported non-operating expense of approximately $297, consisting of interest income of $14, imputed interest of $28, a foreign currency transaction loss of $42 (primarily related to the liability for the pension benefits and other post employment obligations for all employees of the Company's German subsidiary) and equity in loss of a limited partnership of $297. Financial Condition During the first six months of 2003, the Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $1,012 as a result of the payment of current operating expenses for the first six months of 2003 and transaction costs of approximately $150 associated with the acquisition described in Note 3 to the Company's consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million. While the Company has a loan receivable from the Dynacore Patent Litigation Trust (the "Trust") of approximately $852 plus accrued interest of approximately $115, virtually the only source of recovery would be from net proceeds of certain patent litigation which the Trust most likely will not receive in the near future, if at all. Despite its cash saving measures, the Company does not believe that it will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its cash requirements for 2003 without an infusion of additional cash. While the Company is actively exploring various opportunities, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available or that the Company will be able to fulfill its obligations. 12 Cautionary Statement Regarding Risks and Uncertainties This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" about the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements that are not historical facts, including statements about management's beliefs or expectations, are forward looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words "believes," "estimates," "plans," "expects," "will," "may," "intends" and "anticipates," and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, changes in competition, economic conditions, new product development, changes in tax and other governmental rules and regulations applicable to the Company and other risks indicated in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and normal business uncertainty. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and in many cases, the Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable at the time forward looking statements were made, it is impossible to predict the actual outcome of numerous factors, and, therefore, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company does not undertake the obligation to update such statements in light of new information or future events that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk None. Item 4. Controls and Procedures (a) Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including David S. Geiman and Phillip P. Krumb, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, Messrs. Geiman and Krumb concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (b) There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out this evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. 13 PART II.
