The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 5 AMERIVISION COMMUNICATIONS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for AmeriVision Communications, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002. The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2002, have been reclassified to conform with the classifications used as of December 31, 2001. NOTE B--EARNINGS PER SHARE (share and per share amounts not in thousands) The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, is as follows:

6 The conversion of redeemable stock was not assumed in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2001, or the six months ended June 30, 2001, because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods. The conversion of convertible notes was not assumed in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods. NOTE C--PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Company determined that it had incorrectly computed the amount of common stock subject to rescission by stockholders at December 31, 2000 and prior periods. Specifically, the Company did not correctly apply certain state statutes when it previously reported the amount of common stock subject to rescission. The effects of this error were to increase the stockholders' deficiency (1) from ($27,644) to ($28,427) at January 1, 1999, (2) from ($23,758) to ($24,785) at December 31, 1999, and (3) from ($22,636) to ($23,738) at December 31, 2000. The restatement did not have any affect on the previously reported results of operations or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000. NOTE D--RELATED PARTY INFORMATION The Company has financial relationships with the following members of its Board of Directors: (a) Mr. Guthrie is the payee of the Company's promissory note, dated February 1, 2001, issued in the principal sum of $50,000, bearing interest at an annual interest rate of 14% (plus a late charge of 5% of any delinquent payment), carrying a maturity date of February, 1, 2002, and current balance of $45,000, (b) Mr. Nestegard is the payee of the Company's promissory note, dated February 1, 2001, issued in the principal sum of $325,000, bearing interest at an annual interest rate of 14% (plus a late charge of 5% of any delinquent payment), carrying a maturity date of February 1, 2002, and current balance of $292,500; (c) Mr. Telling, a former vice-president of the Company, is currently owed the monetary sum of $425,000, payable to him by the Company under the terms of an employment termination agreement entered into in December 1999 and which required an aggregate of $1,359,000 be paid to him over the succeeding four year period; and (d) Mr. Telling is the current chairman and president of Hebron Communications Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Hebron") which owns the building in which the Company's principal offices are located and from which the Company leases approximately 37,000 square feet of occupied space at an annual rental of slightly more than $500,000. Hebron is also the payee of three separate promissory notes, having an original aggregate face value of $3,451,000, issued by the Company in 1999 and 2000 as a consequence of the Company's purchase from that entity of certain telecommunications switching network equipment and Internet service product development assets. The aggregate principal balance currently owing under the notes is approximately $2,352,000, and because of cash disbursement limitations imposed by the Company's principal lender, all are in default and therefore carry annual interest rates of 18%. As of May 26, 2000 (the "Commencement Date"), the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Stephen Halliday, then the Company's president and chief executive officer and a member of its board of directors (the "CEO Agreement"). That agreement carried an effective initial term of five years, measured from October 1998, and was subject to automatic one year extensions unless either party notified the other of an intention to terminate at the end of the then existing term. Under its principal provision Mr. Halliday was to receive an annual salary of $450,000 which was increased to $600,000 on October 1, 1999, as well as rights to receive and options to acquire shares of the Company's Common Stock. Pursuant thereto, as of July 1, 2000, the Company issued Mr. Halliday 4,549 shares of Common Stock of which 50% were then deemed to be vested and an additional 25% were to be vested on each of the two succeeding anniversary dates of the issuance. Further, Mr. Halliday was entitled to receive a cash bonus equal to whatever additional income tax resulted from the vesting of such shares and the payment of such bonus, as well as two separate options to acquire (a) 27,296 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $28.86/share, and (b) 2% of the Common Stock deemed outstanding, on a fully diluted basis, as of May 26, 2003, at an exercise price of $36.075. As a direct consequence of the shareholder action taken in July 2001, 7 Mr. Halliday's status with the Company was modified and he chose to effect a good reason termination of the CEO Agreement. The Company and Mr. Halliday have recently executed Consulting and Settlement Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2002, under which the Company will pay Mr. Halliday the monthly sum of $41,300 from August 2002 through November 2006 and slightly different sums in July 2002 and December 2006, and Mr. Halliday will provide the Company with consulting services and have certain of his expenses, incurred in the performance of such activities, reimbursed by the Company. The agreement also contains non-competition and non solicitation provisions. The Company's monetary obligations under this arrangement have been evidenced by a promissory note, and the Company has recorded the present value of these payments as a current asset and a current liability. As a result of the shareholders' June 2002 election of a new board of directors, a "change of control" occurred under the note so as to place the Company in a state of technical default and Mr. Halliday in a position to demand full payment of the note's current principal balance of approximately $2 million. Mr. Halliday has informed the Company that he has no intention of exercising his demand rights as long as he believes the Company's management to be exercising reasonable and prudent business judgment in its managerial duties, and that no significant business decisions are being made without prior approval of the Company's board of directors or a representative with delegated authority to act for the board. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded long distance telecommunications service revenue from a single customer constituting approximately 18% of its total revenues for the period. In August 2002, the Company was notified by the customer of its intended redirection of its telecommunications service needs to other carriers during the third quarter 2002. NOTE E--LEGAL MATTERS In February 2001, the State of Florida assessed the Company for underpayment of various Florida taxes, including gross receipts taxes and sales and use taxes, covering the periods from September 1993 through August 1998, to the extent of approximately $1,728, including penalties and interest of approximately $847. The Company agreed with $14 of the assessment and subsequently paid that amount. The Company disagrees with the remaining assessment of $1,714, and has asserted that satisfaction of any underpaid taxes was the responsibility of the Company's third-party billing and collection companies. The State of Florida has requested an extension to December 31, 2003 to complete its audit. The Company believes that it will ultimately prevail in its protest of the assessment, and has not recorded a liability as of December 31, 2001 or June 30, 2002. NOTE F--SUBSEQUENT EVENT On August 6, 2002, the Company was notified by Coast Business Credit, a Division of Southern Pacific Bank ("Coast"), the Company's primary lender, of its intention not to renew the Credit Facility following the occurrence of its current maturity date, January 30, 2003. The Company is currently considering available financing options, including an extension of the Coast relationship upon alternative terms. If the Company is not successful in obtaining alternative financing, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue operations at its current levels or to meets its obligations as they come due. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA The historical financial data presented in the following table for and at the end of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 are derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company. In the opinion of management of the Company, such unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial data for such periods. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year. 8 The data presented below should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

---------- (1) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) consists of net sales less cost of telecommunication services and selling, general and administrative expenses. EBITDA is provided because it is a measure commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. EBITDA is presented to enhance an understanding of the Company's operating results and is not intended to represent cash flows or results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for the periods indicated. EBITDA is not a measurement under GAAP and is not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies. GENERAL The Company provides domestic long distance and other telecommunications services, primarily to residential users. Since its formation in 1991, the Company's annual long distance telephone volume has grown from approximately $1.0 million in net sales in 1991 to approximately $80.8 million in net sales in 2001. Substantially all of this growth is attributable to the increase in the Company's subscriber base. The Company's subscriber base has increased from approximately 30,000 subscribers at the beginning of 1994 to approximately 400,000 subscribers at December 31, 2001. The Company does not, however, expect its revenues or subscriber base to continue to grow at this rate in the future due to decreased long-distance traffic and users. The net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $20.3 million and 42.0 million, respectively, compared to $17.5 million and 33.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. From its inception through December 31, 1998, the Company had incurred cumulative net operating losses totaling approximately $12.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the Company generated net income of $2.2 million, $0.8 million, and $3.4 million, respectively. The improvements of net income from operating activities were primarily achieved from reductions in operating expenses. The Company reduced its accumulated stockholders' deficiency from approximately $25.8 million at December 31, 1997 to approximately $16.9 million at December 31, 2001. The net income generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 also contributed to the decrease in accumulated stockholders' deficiency to approximately $15.7 million at March 31, 2002. In addition to the net operating losses, the accumulated deficit has been attributed to the Company's payment of quarterly distributions to its stockholders between 1994 and 1997, totaling approximately $19.0 million, and by stock redemptions totaling approximately $4.7 million. The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $22.7 million, $19.6 million, and $17.9 million at December 31, 2000, December 31, 2001 and at June 30, 2002, respectively. The Company bills its customers under several different methods. Some customers receive their long distance bills directly from the Company. The Company also has billing and collection agreements with several of the RBOCs. Customers who are billed through the RBOCs receive their long distance phone bill with their local phone bill from the RBOC. The Company also utilizes one third party billing and collection service for customer billings through other LECs or RBOCs with whom the Company does not have a separate billing and collection agreement. The Company makes payments of approximately 10.0% of certain of the customer's collected revenues to a non-profit organization selected by the customer. 9 Selling, general and administrative expenses include billing fees charged by LECs and other third party billing and collection companies, bad debts, commissions to salespersons, advertising and telemarketing expenses, customer service and support, and other general overhead expenses. Interest expense includes the cost of financing the Company's accounts receivable and asset purchases, including loans from its primary financial institution under a line of credit facility (the "LOC"). The Company has recognized net deferred tax assets, primarily due to net operating loss carryforwards. In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted regulations implementing the Telecommunications Act enacted that year. To support universal service, carriers are required to contribute certain percentages of their annual gross receipts to fund the High Cost Fund, the Schools and Libraries Fund, and the Low Income Fund. The FCC has allowed carriers to offset these charges by passing them through to their customers. In addition, the FCC adopted a Primary Interexchange Carrier Charge ("PICC") to allow LECs to recover through non-usage-sensitive charges certain costs associated with long distance carriers having access to LEC networks. The FCC has also allowed the long distance carriers to offset these amounts by passing these charges on to their customers. In May 2000, the FCC adopted an order, which consolidates PICC charges with certain other subscriber charges and initially decreases the charges effective July 1, 2000 and then annually increases such charges. As a result the Company reduced its PICC charges and the impact is an annualized revenue loss of approximately $6.0 million with a similar reduction in PICC costs. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 The following table sets forth for the three-month and six-month periods indicated the percentage of net sales represented by certain items in the Company's statements of operations:

10 NET SALES: Net sales decreased 14.1% to $17.5 million for the current quarter from $20.3 million for the year earlier quarter. Net sales decreased 19.5% to $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was the result of a decrease in total minutes of traffic and a reduction in minutes under certain rate plans, which are billed at a higher per minute rate. Total billable minutes were approximately 97 million minutes for the current quarter compared to 133 million minutes for the year earlier quarter, a decrease of 27.1%. COST OF TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES: The Company's cost of sales are variable costs based on amounts paid by the Company to its providers for its customers' long distance usage, as well as the amounts paid to providers for customer service and support. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company's overall cost per minute decreased as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease resulted from rate reductions received by the Company from its switchless carrier. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the amounts and relative percentage of net sales to each of its providers was as follows:

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses include the following:

Billing Fees and Charges: Billing fees and charges include the contractual billing fees and bad debts charged by LECs and other third party billing companies. It also includes bad debt charge-offs from the Company's direct bill customers. The efforts to collect the direct bill customer accounts are completed by internal personnel. The reduction in the overall billing fees and charges from 2001 to 2002 is due primarily to improvements in the Company's internal collection process. Advertising and Marketing Expense: Advertising expense decreased for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 to $383,000 and $806,000, respectively, compared to $701,000 and $1,532,000 in the same periods in 2001, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to more focused efforts on specific advertising. Payments to Non-Profit Organizations: Payments to non-profit organizations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 were $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $2.9 11 million for the same periods in 2001, respectively. During each period, the Company made Partner Sharing payments to over 30,000 non-profit organizations, of which approximately 40.0% were paid to ten organizations. Payroll Expenses: Payroll expenses decreased by approximately $2.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 2002 and approximately $900,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 2002, due primarily to reorganization efforts and elimination of duplicated expenses. Other General and Administrative Expense: Other general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 4.8% and 9.8% during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001. This decrease was due to increased controls on expenses. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $ 538,000 and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to $534,000 and $1.4 million in same periods in 2001, respectively. This decrease is primarily attributable to significant assets acquired in prior years becoming fully depreciated. INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER FINANCE CHARGES: Interest expense and other finance charges decreased to $635,000 and $1.3 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $2.1 million in the same periods in 2001, respectively. This decrease is attributable to a reduction in the Company's LOC balance due to repayments from operating cash flow. INCOME TAX EXPENSE: During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 the Company recorded deferred income tax expense (benefit) of approximately $267,000 and $751,000, respectively. This compared to $(228,000) and $(29,000) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The income tax expense (benefits) recognized in the financial statements consist primarily of the deferred tax effects of the temporary differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss carryforwards. The Company believes that it will realize the tax benefits of net operating loss carryforwards within the period allowed under Federal tax laws (15 years). NET INCOME: During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 the Company reported net income of $415,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. This compared to net (loss) of $(372,000) and $(51,000) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY Overall the Company's financial condition and liquidity continued to improve during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The major factor underlying this improvement was the reduction in its negative working capital position by approximately $1.8 million over the first six months of 2002. Specifically, in the first six months of 2002 the Company reduced its credit facility by over $3.4 million. Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $4.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The variations in cash flow from operations are primarily attributable to net income for the period, the timing of collections on accounts receivable, and the timing of payment of accounts payable. In 2001, the Company and its lender modified the LOC to provide availability of $28.5 million. Current availability is limited to a calculated amount based on financial results and loan formula restrictions of which approximately $15.2 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2002. The remaining balance is available to the Company for working capital, capital improvements, debt reduction and required reserves. The LOC is secured by a blanket lien on all of the Company's assets, including accounts receivable and the Company's customer base. The terms of the LOC are for three years from initial funding, with an interest rate of prime plus 3.5% (with a floor of 9%). Although the LOC has a three-year term, it is classified as a current liability in the Company's financial statements because the agreement contains certain subjective acceleration clauses and requires that all cash receipts be deposited to a lockbox, the proceeds of which are used daily to repay the debt. The LOC matures on January 31, 2003. On August 6, 2002, the Company was notified by the lender of its intent not to renew the LOC beyond the maturity date. See Item 5. Other Information, for further discussion. 12 The Company expects to incur future capital expenditures of approximately $200,000 related to upgrades to the Company's management information systems and various aspects of reorganization. OPERATING ACTIVITIES Significant sources of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 include increases in accounts payable of $1.3 million, primarily due to increases in carrier payables. The Company also generated cash from operations by recording net income of $1.2 million; $751,000 from recording a deferred income tax expense; and $1.2 million in certain non-cash expenses, principally depreciation and amortization. Significant sources of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 include decreases in accounts receivable of $1.4 million. The Company also generated cash from operations by recording certain non-cash expenses, principally depreciation and amortization, totaling $1.5 million. Significant uses of cash in operating activities include reductions in accounts payable of $689,000. INVESTING ACTIVITIES The Company's investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 consisted primarily of property and equipment purchases of $914,000 and $115,000, respectively. FINANCING ACTIVITIES During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, financing activities used $4.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in cash. The most significant use of cash in 2002 was the repayments of notes and leases payable, including the Company's LOC. The repayment of loans to related parties totaled $566,000 and $238,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES Telecommunications revenues do not necessarily track the changes in general inflation, as they tend to respond to the level of activity on the part of the telecommunications industry in combination with the number of competing companies. Capital and operating costs are influenced to a larger extent by specific price changes in the telecommunications industry and to a lesser extent by changes in general inflation.

OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In February 2001, the State of Florida assessed the Company for underpayment of various Florida taxes, including gross receipts taxes and sales and use taxes, covering the periods from September 1993 through August 1998, to the extent of approximately $1,728, including penalties and interest of approximately $847. The Company agreed with $14 of the assessment and subsequently paid that amount. The Company disagrees with the remaining assessment of $1,714, and has asserted that satisfaction of any underpaid taxes was the responsibility of the Company's third-party billing and collection companies. The State of Florida has requested an extension to December 31, 2002 to complete its audit. The Company believes that it will ultimately prevail in its protest of the assessment, and has not recorded a liability as of December 31, 2001. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS Not applicable. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Not applicable ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS The Company's annual meeting of shareholders was held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at 1:00 p.m. local time, on Thursday, June 27, 2002. Proxies for the meeting were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Out of 847,975 shares of the Company's single class of authorized capital stock which were outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting, 634,354 shares, or approximately 74.8%, were present either in person or by proxy. Four separate matters were presented by the Company's board of directors for voting consideration by shareholders, including: (1) Approval of a replacement set of Company bylaws which contemplated, among other provisions, the establishment of a classified board of directors (Proposal #1); (2) Contingent upon the approval of Proposal #1, approval of a specific number of persons to serve on the Company's classified board of directors, as among seven, eight or nine (Proposal #2); (3) Election of directors (Proposal #3); (4) Ratification of the board of directors' selection of the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 (Proposal #4). In advance of the vote on Proposal #1, a shareholder motion was properly presented proposing an amendment to the replacement set of bylaws which, if passed, would establish a nine member non-classified board of directors each of whose members would be elected annually. Such motion was approved by the shareholders, who thereafter separately voted to approve the replacement set of bylaws, as so amended. Those actions resulted in a need to elect a nine member board of directors. In the proxy materials furnished by the Company's incumbent board of directors, the following nine individuals were identified as having been nominated for election to such positions: Danny Bannister, Arch Bonnema, David Clark, Belarmino Gonzalez, David High, Kenneth Kolek, Arthur Richardson, John Telling and Loren Unruh. At the meeting, the following five additional individuals were nominated by shareholder motions: Thomas Choquette, Sharon Freeny, Wilbur Fulbright, Kenneth Guthrie and Curtis Nestegard, giving rise to a total of 14 nominees running for nine open board seats. As identified in the following vote tabulation, the nine individuals elected at the meeting to serve as members of the Company's board of directors for the annual period ending concurrently with the conduct of the Company's 2002 annual shareholder 14 meeting were: David Clark, Thomas Choquette, Sharon Freeny, Wilbur Fulbright, Belarmino Gonzalez, Kenneth Guthrie, Curtis Nestegard, Arthur Richardson and John Telling. The number of shareholder votes cast, either in person or by proxy, with respect to each voting proposal presented to the shareholders, including the number of votes cast with respect to each nominee for the position of Company director, is set forth below:

15 ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 17, 2002, Mr. Kolek, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and the Board of Directors gave notice of their mutual intention to not renew the consulting agreement between Mr. Kolek and the Company effective as of August 16, 2002. The Company's board of directors has appointed one of its members, John E. Telling, to serve as interim Chief Executive Officer while it conducts a formal search for a permanent replacement. On August 6, 2002, the Company was notified by Coast Business Credit, a Division of Southern Pacific Bank ("Coast"), the Company's primary lender, of its intention not to renew the LOC following the occurrence of its current maturity date, January 31, 2003. The Company is currently considering available financing options, including an extension of the Coast relationship upon alternative terms. See Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on 8-K. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded long distance telecommunications service revenue from a single customer constituting approximately 18% of its total revenues for the period. In August 2002 the Company was notified by the customer of its intended redirection of its telecommunications service needs to other carriers during the third quarter 2002. The Company is aware of the reported precarious financial condition of certain major telecommunications companies. The Company has no long-term contracts with any of these companies. The Company is implementing a plan to diversify its risk by utilizing several different carriers so as to better protect its customers' service requirements. The Company anticipates that no significant disruptions of its telecommunications services will arise from these industry conditions. AGREEMENTS WITH RELATED PARTIES The Company and Stephen Halliday, a former director, chief executive officer and president of the Company, are parties to a recently executed Consulting and Settlement Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2002, under which the Company will pay Mr. Halliday the monthly sum of $41,300 from August 2002 through November 2006 and slightly different sums in July 2002 and December 2006, and Mr. Halliday will provide the Company with consulting services and have certain of his expenses, incurred in the performance of such activities, reimbursed by the Company. The agreement also contains non-competition and non solicitation provisions. The Company's monetary obligations under this arrangement have been evidenced by a promissory note, and the Company has recorded the present value of these payments as a current asset and a current liability. As a result of the shareholders' June 2002 election of a new board of directors, a "change of control" occurred under the note so as to place the Company in a state of technical default and Mr. Halliday in a position to demand full payment of the note's current principal balance of approximately $2 million. Mr. Halliday has informed the Company that he has no intention of exercising his demand rights as long as he believes the Company's management to be exercising reasonable and prudent business judgment in its managerial duties, and that no significant business decisions are being made without prior approval of the Company's board of directors or a representative with delegated authority to act for the board.
