The March 31, 2003 financial statements have been amended to expense the capitalized transaction costs in the amount of $144,057. The June 30, 2003 financial statements also have been amended to expense the capitalized transaction costs in the amount of $449,833 and $593,890 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The Company had previously recorded net losses of ($1,177,837) as of March 31, 2003 and ($1,751,202) and ($2,929,037) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The amended net losses are ($1,321,894) as of March 31, 2003 and ($2,201,035) and ($3,522,927) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Additionally, it is noted that the merger consideration to be paid to Simula shareholders will not be impacted by the accounting changes to previously reported results, as the merger consideration formula is not based on historical results.
