PART 1 ------ ITEM 1 BUSINESS -------- Radiant Technology Corporation (RTC) was incorporated in California in 1972. The initial public offering (IPO) was in 1979. The Company is engaged in the marketing, design, manufacture and service of highly precision thermal processing systems that are primarily used by manufacturers of microelectronic componentry. The Company's conveyorized ovens and furnaces are distributed worldwide to meet ever-changing process requirements. To obtain financial growth and stability we concentrate on managing the following key elements of its business: Technological Leadership: We are constantly in contact with our customers soliciting their input for both continued product improvement and new product development. We encourage customers anticipating new thermal processing requirements to contact us regarding their new opportunities and needs. Customer Diversity: Customers from different facets of the electronics and photovoltaic industries are sought and maintained. As demand for the various manufacturing elements in the electronics high technology industry shifts, RTC works to position itself to be ready to be immediately responsive to changing market emphasis. Service: We concentrate on providing timeliness, high quality, and responsiveness to our customer base. Most service concerns are handled by Phone, FAX or E-mail immediately. Customer Service Engineers, when needed, are dispatched within the day. Internationally, we retain Sales/Service representatives, factory trained, to provide the same level of dedication in placing the concerns and needs of the customer first. MARKETS AND PRODUCTS: The nature and high intensity of the infrared heat produced in our furnaces permits a high rate of heat absorption by the electronic parts processed through the furnaces, making them more adaptable to the exacting tolerances and high-speed heating requirements of certain industrial users. Infrared heating affords many advantages, including the furnace's ability to achieve operating temperatures in a shorter time span, operate at a faster conveyor belt speed, require less floor space, and use less electric energy, all of which result in significantly lower operating costs than for conventional ovens and furnaces. In addition to infrared heating furnaces, RTC also offers products based on convection and conduction heating technology. Convection heating utilizes a preheated gas such as clean dry air or nitrogen directed to a conveyor belt by means of gas amplifiers. The impingement of this heated gas with the product is the primary method of heat transfer. RTC's products utilizing conduction heating is based on heating a very dense conveyor belt to transfer energy to the processed product. 2 MARKETING, SALES AND CUSTOMERS Our products are sold throughout the world, primarily to organizations engaged in the microelectronics or photovoltaic manufacturing. RTC maintains direct sales offices in the United States. Internationally the Company is represented through independent sales/service organizations. Note 1 to the Financial Statements depicts a breakdown of international sales. Customers tend to evaluate furnace vendors for technological leadership that results in high process yields for material produced. This primary benefit combined with high RTC up time, low meantime between failure (MTBF), quick reliable service and spare parts response combine to produce low cost of equipment ownership for our customers. In 2002 the largest customer accounted for 16% of total revenues. Two customers accounted for 31% and 11% of RTC's revenue, respectively, in fiscal year 2001. In 2000, the largest customer was - 17% of total revenue. The Company does not experience a seasonal demand for its product. Rather the demand for RTC furnaces tends to follow the demand for new manufacturing equipment in the economy. BACKLOG We regard as backlog all signed purchase orders received from customers for delivery at specified dates. At September 30, 2002, the backlog was $619,344 vs. $808,484 in 2001, and $3,203,427 in 2000. This backlog of orders will be completed over a three to five month period. There can be no assurance that backlog will be replicated or increased or translated into higher revenues in the future. The success of our business depends on a multitude of factors that are out of our control. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and Development expenses are charged to specific product enhancement activities and new product development. Research and Development expenses were $377,324, $260,330 and $230,599, in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which represents primarily the development of new products, which it hopes will provide significant value to future years income. COMPETITION We confront competition from two primary domestic companies: BTU International, and Sierra-Therm. There are numerous other competitors both domestically and internationally. We believe that we are one of the principal manufacturers of conveyorized, controlled atmosphere, variable speed, high temperature infrared furnaces used in the manufacture of precision, microelectronic circuitry for the semiconductor, solar cell, hybrid micro circuits and general microelectronic industries. The competitive environment in the market for ovens and furnaces is based on superior technology, design and delivery and ultimate cost of ownership beyond initial purchase price. The Company believes that its higher temperature, near infrared products, are more technologically advanced than that of the conventional products of its competitors. The Company has patents issued and pending covering the basic technology involved in the principal markets. See "Patents" below. 3 MATERIAL We purchase raw materials, mechanical parts and electronic components. The Company manufactures a portion of its sheet metal and some mechanical and electronic components. Alternative sources of material exist for nearly all parts, components and materials. We have selected a single source supplier for much of our electronic componentry, due to high levels of quality and service. Should this favorable condition degenerate, an alternative supplier can be found but not without extra initial expenditures. PATENTS RTC owns a number of current patents on its products also has patents pending. The Company's patents are the result of its creative energies and innovative technology. RTC believes that it must continually work to maintain technological leadership for its customer base. We further believe that patents may provide technological hurdles to competition. However, it is primarily our attention to customer service with high quality products, produced in a timely manner, ultimately providing the customer with low cost of ownership that provide us our greatest competitive strength. TRADEMARKS We have registered trademark No. 1425668, "RTC radiant technology corporation", with the United Stated patent and Trademark Office on January 20, 1987. The trademark is in force for twenty years. Numerous other Trademarks are in force relating to specific equipment or processes exclusive to RTC. EMPLOYEES We employed 37 full-time individuals as of October 31, 2002. WARRANTY We warrant our ovens and furnaces against defects existing at the time of shipment for material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year on parts and labor after shipment to an original user. Under this warranty, the Company provides, components which, within the warranty period, are proved to the satisfaction of the Company to have been defective. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS The operations of the Company are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations. Management believes the Company is in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The cost of compliance has not been a significant burden to the Company. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES ---------- Our executive offices and manufacturing facility are located in a quality industrial park where expansion may be possible.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------- Cautionary Statement This Annual Report contains statements relating to future results of the Company (including certain projections and business trends) that are "forward-looking statements" as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to economic and political changes in markets where the Company competes such as inflation rates, recession, and other external factors over which the Company has no control; domestic and foreign government spending, budgetary and trade policies; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; successful development of advanced technologies; and competitive product and pricing pressures as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those detailed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. GENERAL We pioneered the design and application of near infrared high temperature furnaces with the semiconductor manufacturing and electronics assembly markets. RTC products are now principally used by manufacturers of semiconductor packaging, solar cells, flat panel displays, printed circuit boards, hybrid thick film and multichip modules. New and inventive uses of the product line for other applications continue to be discovered. 6 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues were $3.8 million, $5.1 million and $4.7 million in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively, representing a decrease of 26% from 2001 to 2002 and an increase of 7% from 2000 to 2001. The decrease in fiscal year 2002 was primarily attributable to the slowing world economies and the sharp decline in capital spending by manufacturers of semiconductor and industrial products. Cost of sales consists of costs related to the purchase of raw materials, assembled and subcontracted parts, services provided by third party suppliers, as well as costs arising from in house manufacturing support operations and the costs to run it. Cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues, was 75.9%, 73.4% and 65.4% for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively. The lower revenue in 2002, due to the weak market demand, is the primary reason for the increase in cost of sales ratio from 2001 to 2002. RTC continues to use the latest technology available in an effort to reduce both cost of revenues (and the maintenance of optimal inventory levels) and operating expenses, and ultimately an increase overall company profits. Research and development expense expressed as a percentage of revenues was 10.0%, 5.1% and 4.9% in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively. These reflect costs related to the design of the Waver Bump products, new product development and product enhancements for existing standard products. These costs are essential to the Company's long term future, a future that can move very quickly in the high technology field. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 32.0%, 23.8%, and 20.0% of total revenues in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively. The increase in 2002 was attributed to the lower revenue as well as increased marketing, and administrative salary levels, temporary help in administrative functions and sharply higher costs for liability and workmen's compensation insurance. Interest income, net of interest expense, for fiscal year 2002 was approximately 0.3% of revenues compared to 1.0% and 0.8% in fiscal years 2001 and 2000 respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our consolidated cash decreased from $1,118,630 at September 30, 2001 to $2,069,784 at September 30, 2002. The increase of $951,154 is attributable to a short term loan of $1,916,000. Net cash used by operating activities of $(931,910) compared to cash from operating activities of $202,613 in the prior year. Management believes that the expected revenues from operations of RTC may not be sufficient to provide adequate cash to fund anticipated working capital and other cash needs. Short term borrowing or a revolving credit line will be employed to fund working capital and other cash needs. ITEM 7A.

Sales to entities located outside the United States are as follows: Countries 2002 2001 2000 ------------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- European $ 355,819 $1,047,596 $ 966,723 Asia 1,952,357 549,073 316,235 Other International 486,585 377,243 126,666 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total International Sales $2,794,761 $1,973,912 $1,409,624 =========== =========== =========== Revenue Recognition ------------------- The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment or upon completion when the customer requests the unit to be held at the facility for later shipment. Cash and cash equivalents ------------------------- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Accounts receivable ------------------- The allowance for doubtful accounts includes management's estimate of the amount expected to be lost on specific accounts and for losses on other unidentified accounts included in accounts receivable. In estimating the allowance component for unidentified losses, management relies on historical experience. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize could differ materially in the near term from the amounts assumed in arriving at the allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying financial statements. Inventories ----------- Inventories include material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead and are reported at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in-first-out method) or market. Allowances for slow moving and obsolete inventory are based on management's estimate of the amount considered obsolete based on specific review of inventory items. In estimating the allowance, management relies on its knowledge of the industry as well as its current inventory levels. 17 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) ------------------------------------------------------ Equipment --------- Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life for leasehold improvements. Intangibles ----------- The cost of patents are being amortized using the straight line method over their estimated lives of five years. Amortization expense charged to operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $1,423, $11,939, and $8,712, respectively. Research and Development ------------------------ Research and development has been expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $377,324; $352,211 and $230,599 in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 200, respectively. Software development costs -------------------------- The Company capitalizes internal software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. The capitalization of these costs begins when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product is available for general release to customers. The Company uses the working model approach to establish technological feasibility. Amortization is computed on an individual product group on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product. Currently, the Company is using an estimated economic life of three years for all capitalized software costs. Amortization expense was $31,001, $31,001 and $77,213 for 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Customer deposits ----------------- The Company often requires a deposit from customers before commencing work on a furnace. It is the Company's policy to record the deposit as a receivable with a corresponding deferred liability at the time the sales order is written. When the deposit is received, the receivable is relieved. Income taxes ------------ Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 18 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) ------------------------------------------------------ Earnings per common share ------------------------- Earnings per common share is computed by dividing reported earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of earnings per share in 2002 and 2001 because the effect of including such equivalents in the computation would have been anti-dilutive. Fair value of financial instruments ----------------------------------- The fair value of financial instruments, consisting principally of short-term debt payable is based on interest rates available to the Company and comparison to quoted prices. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value. Stock based compensation ------------------------ The Company accounts for compensation costs related to employee stock options and other forms of employee stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 ("APB 25"). The Company has adopted the provisions of pro forma disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Options granted to non-employees are recognized at their estimated fair value at the date of grant. Use of estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain items in the 2000 and 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2002 presentation. 2. Concentration of credit risk and significant customers ------------------------------------------------------ The Company, from time to time, has cash deposits at financial institutions in amounts in excess of federally-insured limits. The Company believes that credit risk related to its cash deposits is limited due to the quality of the financial institutions. The Company's customers are located in several geographic markets, primarily in the United States, Middle East, Europe and Pacific Rim countries and are concentrated within three industries. To minimize the risk of loss, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers, and may require a substantial downpayment prior to commencing machine production. 19 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 3.

Short Term Debt --------------- The Company received a short term advance on September 20, 2002 in the amount of $1,916,000 from a financial institution. The advance is to be repaid within 10 days and the borrowing rate is less than 5% annual rate of interest. 8. Environmental Matters --------------------- The Company, like others in similar businesses, is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Although Company environmental policies and practices are designed to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, future developments and increasingly stringent regulation could require the Company to make unforeseen environmental expenditures. 22 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 9. Stockholders' equity -------------------- Preferred stock ---------------- At September 30, 2002 and 2000 there were 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, of which no shares were issued and outstanding. Common stock ------------ The Company has authorized 24,000,000 shares of no par value common stock. At September 30, 2002 and 2001, 2,081,678 shares were issued and outstanding. Employee stock options ---------------------- Incentive and non-statutory option plan --------------------------------------- The Company adopted an incentive and non-statutory stock option plan which provides for granting options to key employees and officers. Under the plan, options up to 1,000,000 shares may be granted at a price not less than the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant, and the maximum term of each option may not exceed ten years. With respect to any participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting rights of the Company's outstanding capital stock, the exercise price of any stock option must not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of the grant and the maximum term may not exceed five years. On January 22, 1998, April 15, 1999, January 2, 2001 and as of September 30, 2002 the Board authorized options to purchase 70,000, 100,000, 55,000 and 220,000 shares, respectively. These shares were granted at an exercise price that was at or above the market price on the date of the grant. The options vest on various dates in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and expire three years from the vesting date. As of September 30, 2002 519,666 of these options remained outstanding. Non-statutory director options ------------------------------ As of September 30, 2002, the Company granted 20,000 non-statutory options to each of three outside board members. The options vested immediately and expire July 18, 2005 The option price is $.45 per share, which was greater than the market price at the date of the grant. At September 30, 2002, all of these options remain outstanding. Lawrence McNamee ---------------- Mr. McNamee held options to acquire 346,666 shares at $.075 per share issued to him in lieu of salary in 1992; 175,000 of these options were exercised in 2001, resulting in options for 171,666 shares outstanding at September 30, 2002. These options have no expiration date. 23 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 9. Stockholders' equity (continued) -------------------------------- The following table summarizes the activities under the Plan and outside the Plan:

The following information applies to employee options outstanding at September 30, 2002: Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Average Range of Number of Contractual Exercise exercise prices Shares Life (Years) Price --------------- ------------- ---------- ---------- $0.075 171,666 No Expiration $0.075 $0.45 - $0.48 280,000 1.83 $0.450 $0.525 8,000 0.04 $0.525 $0.750 36,000 0.02 $0.750 24 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 9. Stockholders' equity (continued) -------------------------------- Stock options (continued) ------------------------- Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Company's net income/(loss) and earnings/(loss) per share would have been: 2002 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net Income / (Loss) As Reported $ (786,284) $ (157,210) $ 287,729 Pro Forma $ (830,582) $ (169,952) $ 284,444 Basic earnings per share: As Reported $ (0.38) $ (0.08) $ 0.15 Pro Forma $ (0.40) $ 0.08 $ 0.15 Diluted earnings per share: As Reported $ (0.38) $ (0.08) $ 0.13 Pro Forma $ (0.40) $ (0.08) $ 0.13 These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures because they do not take into effect pro forma compensation expense related to grants made before 1996. In addition, potential deferred tax benefits of approximately $12,500, $15,000, and $19,200 in 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively, have not been reflected in the pro forma amounts due to the uncertainty of realizing any benefit. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 2002, 2001, and 2000: 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ Expected Life (years) 3.5 4.0 Risk-free interest rate 4.00% 6.00% Volatility 100% 100% Expected dividends None None The weighted fair value of options granted during the years ended September 30 2002, 2001 and 2000 for which the exercise price approximated the market price on the grant date was $.33, $.525 and $.21, respectively. 25 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 10. Income taxes ------------ Income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following: -------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- Current tax $ 800 $ -- $ 13,000 Deferred tax -- (113,500) -- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income tax expense (benefit) $ 800 $ (113,500) $ 13,000 ========== ========== ========== Income tax expense (benefit) differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000 as a result of the following: The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ Net operating loss carryforwards $ 629,000 $ 441,000 Allowance for slow moving inventories 103,000 52,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts 4,000 2,000 ------------ ------------ Deferred tax assets $ 736,000 $ 495,000 Less valuation allowance (472,500) (325,000) ------------ ------------ Net deferred tax asset $ 263,500 $ 170,000 ============ ============ 26 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 10. Income taxes (continued) ------------------------ The recognized deferred tax asset is based upon expected utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and reversal of certain temporary differences. At September 30, 2002, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes expiring as follows: Federal State ------------ ------------ 2007 $ 247,175 $ -- 2009 620,976 2011 100,000 2014 167,361 2015 198,790 2016 786,000 ------------ ------------ $ 2,020,302 $ 100,000 ============ ============ 11. Employee benefit plan --------------------- The Company's 401(k) plan was re-activated during fiscal 1996. All employees are eligible as long as they are 21 years of age and have completed one year of employment. The plan provides for contributions by the Company in such amounts as management may determine. Contribution expense charged to operations in 2000 was $12,474. No expense was charged to operations in 2002 and 2001. 27 RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Notes to financial statements 12. Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share ------------------------------------------- The following tables illustrate the required disclosure of the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share computations.
