(1) As of August 12, 2002, @pos.com, Inc. (the "Company") owed $1,959,589.07 in outstanding principal and interest under the Note, convertible on such date into 8,709,321 shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company owed $2,200,841.80 in outstanding principal and interest under the Note, convertible on such date into 10,612,507 shares of Common Stock. (2) The Note is convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the then-outstanding balance of the Note (including accrued and unpaid interest) and the denominator of which is $5,000,000 and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Explanation of Responses: On August 12, 2002, Symbol Technologies, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Symbol"), Symbol Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Symbol, and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") and, in connection therewith, the Note was made by the Company in favor of Symbol. The Note was provided out of Symbol's working capital and permitted the Company to repay in full all of the borrowings outstanding under the Convertible Promissory Note dated June 25, 2002 held by Hand Held Products Inc. and provided additional working capital to the Company until the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are to be consummated. The Company is expected to borrow additional funds and thereby increase the outstanding principal amount under the Note from time to time. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on August 19, 2002, Symbol Acquisition Corp. commenced a cash tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.46 per share, net to the seller in cash. The tender offer, unless extended, is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight on September 16, 2002. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, following the consummation of the Offer, Symbol Acquisition Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in such merger. /s/ Leonard Goldner September 9, 2002 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Name: Leonard Goldner Date Title: Executive Vice President and General Ccounsel **Signature of Reporting Person ** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations.
