INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-K of Forecross Corporation ("Forecross" or the "Company") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Litigation Reform Act") that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Statements indicating that the Company "expects," "estimates" or "believes" are forward-looking, as are all other statements concerning future financial results, product offerings or other events that have not yet occurred. There are several important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward- looking statements contained in this Form 10-K. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the Company's unprofitable operating history and limited financial resources; potential requirements for additional financing; volatility of the Company's common stock; fluctuation of its quarterly operating results; existing and potential competition; dependence on a small number of customers; market size; no assurance of success of the Company's marketing strategy; no assurance of the ability to continue product development as required and in a timely manner; limited experience of management in the management of growth; control by officers and directors; dependence on key personnel; the ability to adequately protect its intellectual property; and general economic and market conditions. Additional information on these and other certain business concerns is included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Forecross is a software company that, together with our predecessor corporations, has been in business since 1982. We develop, market and sell sophisticated software and associated services to large organizations for the automated conversion ("migration") of existing business software applications to new computing environments. During the period from 1996 through 1999, we also developed, marketed and sold similar software and services to large organizations for the automated assessment and renovation of business software applications that were not year 2000 compliant. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND In recent years, dramatic and fundamental changes have taken place in computers and computer software for businesses with significant data management needs. These developments have had a significant impact on the way in which business applications are developed, have extended the useful life of existing applications and have presented unique challenges to Management Information Systems ("MIS") departments. First, there has been a dramatic reduction in the cost of computer processing power. This has led to the "downsizing" from larger "mainframe" and "super-mini" computers to smaller computers capable of processing the same amount of work at significantly lower cost. 2 Second, standard computing environments, referred to as "open systems" architecture, have increasingly dominated the market. Previously, large scale MIS organizations were forced to implement business applications using database software and languages proprietary to particular vendors. Open systems architecture has, to a significant extent, freed the MIS manager from this constraint by permitting the components of an overall hardware and software solution to be acquired from a number of different, and frequently competing, vendors. Examples of these new standards include the UNIX operating system, the database language called SQL and programming languages such as COBOL, C++ and JAVA. Third, the network which each business establishes to connect the personal computers on the desks of each user ("clients") to the open systems hardware ("servers") for business applications has expanded over the past five years to include connections to, and often web sites on, the Internet. The "world-wide web" enables a business to connect all of its employees to each other and to the company's vendors and customers easily and inexpensively. This unprecedented level of connectivity is driving a rapid evolution in the way businesses inter-relate. Fourth, even though there has been a decrease in the cost of some computer hardware, there has also been a reduction in many MIS budgets with no corresponding reduction in the costs of software or technical personnel. Finally, the broad-based application assessment that was necessitated by the year 2000 problem has brought unparalleled awareness to MIS management of the attributes, costs and risks inherent in their business application portfolios. What has been discovered is a hodge-podge of environmental and development software that has resulted in: immense, yet unnecessary, complexity; duplicated and high costs of ownership; and serious risks of future maintenance failures caused by a lack of personnel knowledgeable in the older installed software. BUSINESS IMPACT Existing systems represent a huge financial investment and are often functionally rich and mission-critical to the business. Therefore, many applications that would have been rewritten after three to five years are now remaining in service for ten years or more. However, due to their underlying technologies, they may not be meeting all of the needs of the organization. For example, they may not be fully integrated with newer business applications, may have data that is not easily accessible to users, or may operate on technology platforms which are no longer cost-effective. Furthermore, personnel who understand and can maintain applications developed using older technologies are becoming more difficult to find and retain, and are, therefore, more expensive. The challenge for businesses is to find a cost-effective way to upgrade these sizable existing systems to take advantage of the new technologies and platforms, such as the Internet, while preserving all of their valuable business functionality. AVAILABLE SOLUTIONS Our management believes that there are three basic options available to an MIS manager wishing to take advantage of these developments. 3 One option is to acquire commercially available application software packages specifically designed to operate on the new technology platforms. However, a suitable package may not always be available and, even when it is, the new software package will commonly require adaptation to the distinctive business policies and practices of the user organization. In addition to the initial cost of the package, these adaptations are frequently expensive and may take too long to implement as well as require specialized technical resources. Another option is to rewrite the computer source code of the existing application to make it usable in the new computing environment. This course is time consuming to implement, can be error-prone, requires significant and specialized personnel resources not routinely available, and may, therefore, be expensive and risky. Both of these choices also involve the risk that business-specific rules and functionality currently embedded in the existing application will not be accurately or completely incorporated into the adapted software package or the rewritten application. Our products represent a third solution. We have developed a proprietary and innovative technology for the automated migration and on-going standards compliance of existing applications. This allows businesses to replace existing technologies (i.e., the system is re-hosted to a new technology platform) while leaving the application functionally intact. We believe that this option will ordinarily be the least expensive and least risky alternative. MARKET At its largest, we estimate that the potential worldwide market for our products includes approximately 30,000 large computer-using organizations, including the so-called Fortune 2,000 companies, and comparable government, financial services, healthcare, education and other service organizations. Most of these organizations automated their major business applications before the advent of current technologies. These organizations characteristically have a large inventory of crucial information systems based on rapidly obsolescing technology. We believe that the portion of the North American enterprise computing market comprised of users of Computer Associates Integrated Database Management System, or CA-IDMS, amounts to approximately 275 users, based on information supplied in March 2000 by Harte-Hanks Market Intelligence, Inc., an industry research organization. CA-IDMS includes a database management system - CA-IDMS/DB, user interface language - CA-IDMS/DC, and fourth-generation language - CA-ADSO which, together with certain other related products, were originally developed and marketed by Cullinane Corporation, later by Cullinet Corporation, and now by Computer Associates International. Based on reports in the industry press, we believe that there is a growing shift of enterprise computing users away from CA-IDMS and that over the next ten years a substantial number of the 275 users will have decided to move to newer, more cost-effective and flexible computing environments. We currently estimate that there are approximately 300 CA-IDMS users outside North America. In addition to the CA-IDMS portion of the enterprise computing market, there are also additional portions related to other proprietary technology platforms. They include areas related to computer languages such as CA-Easytrieve from Computer Associates, CSP from IBM Corporation, CA-UFO from 4 Computer Associates and ADF from IBM Corporation, and databases such as IMS from IBM and Adabas from SoftwareAG. We currently estimate that there are between 15,000 and 20,000 users for all of those products. These additional areas create opportunities for us to develop other products and give us added flexibility in responding to changes and developments in the marketplace. PRODUCTS We have licensed and delivered our products and ancillary services to customers throughout North America, and in Taiwan, France, Belgium, Germany, and South Africa. Historically, customers have included Aetna Life Insurance, AT&T, Bank of America NT&SA, Bank of Montreal, Bear Stearns & Co., IBM Corporation, Home Savings of America, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, New Brunswick Telephone, Price Waterhouse LLP, Royal Bank of Canada, Charles Schwab & Company, Inc., and Union Gas Corporation. Recent and current customers include Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., University of California, San Diego, Ciber, Inc., Electronic Data Systems Corporation, BDM International (now part of TRW Inc.), Harris Trust and Savings Bank, and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Our products are designed to automate up to 100% of the conversion of an existing application. It has been our experience that 95% or more of the business application programs commonly found in large computerized organizations (see "-Market") can be converted with close to full (100%) automation. The remaining 5% can usually be processed with a significant degree of automation (80% or more), enough to make conversion with our products a cost-effective and lower risk alternative. Converted applications are functionally equivalent to their unconverted counterparts, and, in our experience, maintainability and performance in the new environment are typically unaffected or enhanced. Each of our products includes a significant number of customization options that can be selected by the user to obtain results closest to its specific conversion objectives. During 1999, we added two new products aimed at extending the scope of our conversion solution offerings. One tool, called 'TestSentinel', is used to test the converted applications to ensure that they are functionally equivalent to their un-converted counterparts. The second tool, called 'SourceSentinel', is aimed at ensuring that coding standards and rules that are implemented when programs are originally developed remain in force as those programs go through the normal life cycle of on-going maintenance and enhancements. These tools are currently offered as services only. We intend to offer end-user licenses in the future. UNDERLYING PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY Our powerful and flexible technology known as the XCODE architecture, has been refined over the last fifteen years and forms the foundation for all of our products, tools, and associated services. Our proprietary XCODE architecture supports all of the functions ordinarily required to automate the conversion of existing systems. This includes parsing the source code, storing the code in a common repository, identifying areas of 5 the code that require technology upgrades, transforming the old technology and generating revised source code for the operation of the application in the new environment. The XCODE architecture is modular in design. Modular architecture refers to the design of a system into separate components that can be connected and combined together in many different configurations. The strength of modular architecture is that any one component can be replaced, added or moved without altering the rest of the system. Our modular XCODE architecture is, therefore, readily adaptable to the development of new migration products. This lowers the cost, shortens the time and reduces the risk of new product development. COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PRODUCTS We have, to date, developed nine migration products. Migration products are named by reference to the source language or database and the target language or database: - Convert/IDMS-DC to CICS (user interface language conversion) - Convert/ADSO to COBOL (language conversion) - Convert/IDMS-DB to SQL (database conversion) - Convert/VSAM to SQL (database conversion) - Convert/CSP to COBOL (language conversion) - Redirect II COBOL/VS to COBOL II (language conversion) - IMSADF II to Cross System Product Migration Facility (language conversion - Convert/IMSADF II to APS/COBOL (language conversion) - Fastforward/VSAM to SUPRA (database conversion) We are the owner of six of these products. Ownership of the following products is shared: IMSADF II to Cross System Product Facility, which we developed, but is owned jointly with IBM; Convert/IMSADF II to APS/COBOL, which we developed, but is owned jointly with Bank of America; and Fastforward/VSAM to SUPRA which we developed pursuant to a Development and License Agreement dated April 22, 1991, with Cincom Systems, Inc. and is jointly owned by the Company and Cincom. We and IBM have joint marketing rights to the first product, we and Bank of America have joint marketing rights to the second product, and Cincom has exclusive marketing rights to the third product. None of these jointly owned products is presently material to our business or near-term business plans. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Our strategy in developing new migration software and services for existing applications is to respond to the particular needs of a specific customer after research has determined that there is an identifiable potential for further licensing of the product and delivery of associated services, to other organizations. Before undertaking the development of a new product, we generally require that the customer agree to share the development cost. One factor that greatly enhances our ability to employ this strategy is our proprietary XCODE architecture. The XCODE architecture has historically enabled us to develop a new migration product in an average of approximately six months of elapsed time, with three persons 6 employed full-time on the project. This is a considerably shorter and less costly development cycle than traditional industry experience for products of comparable scope and complexity. It also allows us to fund most or all of the development cost from the license revenue generated by the initial development-funding customer. In 1999, we commenced the development of additional tools that serve to extend our offerings in the legacy migration area. These tools include a product for testing the migrated applications, a tool for ensuring that application standards and rules remain in force as the applications are maintained and a suite of tools aimed at moving legacy applications to the internet. Called L2X-SmartXML, these tools provide the native software infrastructure to enable large-scale commerce projects to succeed with a second generation technical solution. SmartXML inserts the functionality for XML data exchange directly into mainframe programs, eliminating middleware, decreasing costs and increasing business flexibility. SmartXML consists of software modules applicable to mainframe CICS programs, batch programs, reports, data file exchanges and support for mainframe programmers. SmartXML is available now as a part of our product and service offerings. While we intend to commercialize these tools and offer product licenses to them to our customers, we are currently offering consulting services related to these tools. Research and development expenses were $835,000, $913,000, and $728,000 in the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. PRODUCT LICENSING MIGRATION PRODUCT LICENSING We grant our customers a terminable, non-exclusive, non-assignable license to use our software, including programs, options, documentation, data and information, at a specified number of locations, for the conversion of a specified number of application programs and to receive certain upgrades and enhancements. Each agreement contains a warranty by us against defects in design, operation and usability in the customer's computer environment, and each contains a covenant by the licensee not to attempt to decipher, develop source code, copy, modify, duplicate, create or recreate all or any part of it except to the extent required by its normal operating procedures. The licensee also agrees to take reasonable steps to prevent access by anyone whose access is not reasonably necessary and to ensure that authorized persons with access refrain from duplicating, reproducing or disclosing information with respect to the licensed software. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We have chosen to protect the intellectual property value of our products and our proprietary XCODE architecture through trade secret and confidentiality provisions in our product licensing arrangements, confidentiality agreements with our employees and through copyright protection for system externals such as display formats and documentation. Additional protection is provided by the complex nature of both the XCODE architecture, and the products themselves. This approach is consistent with standard practice in the industry, and provides reasonable assurance against misappropriation. Software theft, which can be a serious problem in the consumer software market, is relatively rare in the 7 large-scale software products market. Large corporate buyers tend not to engage in product piracy. Our products are also protected against unauthorized use by imbedded and external access control codes. However, the protection on which we rely may not be effective. Monitoring and identifying unauthorized use of our technology may prove difficult, and the cost of litigation may impair our ability to guard adequately against such infringement. Our commercial success may also depend upon our products not infringing any intellectual property rights of others and on no claims of infringement being made against us. Even if such claims are found to be invalid, the dispute process could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and prospects. MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGY EXISTING APPLICATION MIGRATIONS The developments in computer technology described above (see "-Industry Background: Significant Industry Developments") have converged to produce the need and create the opportunity to convert existing applications. After experimentation with different marketing techniques, we decided in 1992 to develop and implement our own direct marketing and sales strategy. Our strategy includes having multiple product offerings to include a broad range of service and license alternatives that better adapt to meet the needs of the marketplace and serve to differentiate us from our competitors. Conventional techniques including trade publication notices, direct mail, telemarketing, and, most recently, our own web-site, www.forecross.com, on the internet are being used to bring our products and their benefits to the attention of prospective customers. Additionally, we have focused on building a reference base of satisfied customers. Recognizing that aversion to risk is one of the major characteristics of the decision making process for many MIS organizations, we have created a phased marketing approach to simplify the process for potential customers to evaluate and invest in our products. This strategy allows a potential customer to pursue its interest in automated migration in a series of measured steps, with each step in the process providing demonstrable value. Our principal marketing programs involve the Migration Alternatives Planning Seminar ("MAPS") and either Factory Compile or License-Only sales. MAPS is an introduction, for a fee, to the conversion process through an intensive two-day customer-site program for those considering a migration project. Designed to address conversion issues, it includes formal technical briefings, expert consulting, an evaluation of the risks, costs and benefits of various alternatives and a feasibility analysis of the automated migration of a selection of the customer's application software. MAPS is promoted by telemarketing and is conducted by two senior members of our staff. Evaluations of prior MAPS sessions suggest that many of our MAPS customers will decide to select Factory Compile or License-Only within twelve months of the MAPS session. We offer our customers the option for us to use our proprietary software on behalf of the customer to perform the entire conversion process, thus relieving the customer of the requirements for allocating the personnel and time necessary to learn to perform the migration. We call this type of engagement a "Factory Compile." By "factory," we mean an array of multiple server-class computers operated by a small number of computer operators, running two to three shifts 8 per day, up to seven days per week, depending on work volume. "Factory services" implies the methodology by which customer code flows to us, through the factory, to the rules engineers for issue resolution, to quality assurance for final review, and back to the customer. The customer's role is limited to testing the converted application in its new environment. The average Factory Compile project requires one senior and two junior technical staff members for approximately four months. License-Only is an offering in which the customer licenses our products and, with training and additional optional consulting provided by us, performs the entire conversion process with its own personnel. As in the Factory Compile option, the customer also tests the converted application in the new environment. No customer has chosen the License-Only offering in the past few years, preferring to use our automated factory facilities. Although there are no separately chargeable software license fees, Factory Compile projects require the customer to sign a standard Forecross Product License Agreement. For both offerings (Factory Compile and License-Only), a customer's use of our products is limited to the conversion of a specified maximum number of application programs, at which time the license expires. SALES AND LICENSING REVENUE CONCENTRATION In the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, year 2000 assessment projects, sales of licenses to the Assess/2000 software, and fees associated with distributorships for Complete/2000 products and services accounted for 25%, 41% and 88%, respectively, of total revenue. There was no year 2000-related work in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, but there was recognition of revenue deferred from earlier periods. All year 2000 deferred revenue for distributor licenses, fees and maintenance has now been recognized. Migration projects in 2001 and 2000 accounted for 63% and 52% of total revenue, respectively. COMPETITION The marketplace for application migrations is served by both software and services vendors. Forecross is not aware of any vendor, whether of software or services, which offers the degree of automated conversion achievable through use of Forecross products. SOFTWARE VENDORS We believe that the principal focus of other software vendors has been on the development and licensing of software which speeds the rewriting alternative for migration. Examples of software delivering this type of migration solution assistance include Allen Systems Group, Inc.'s tools for application re-engineering, and Carleton Corporation's software to support data migration. In both of these cases, as in all others of which we are aware, the software products do not provide the near-complete and comprehensive automated conversion of business applications as those performed by our products after various individual options and parameters have been established. 9 SERVICE SUPPLIERS Service organizations such as accounting firms and companies like Perot Systems, EDS, IBM, Computer Horizons Corporation, Case Consult, GmbH and Computer Task Group offer conversion services. Automated conversion facilities provided by these service organizations typically embrace between 25% and 80% of the source code, with the balance of the conversion being performed manually. We believe that any manual conversion is subject to inconsistency, high risk of error, high cost and delays. Since they are service providers, these companies tend to focus on turnkey projects costing several millions of dollars that can, therefore, support the high manpower costs involved. Since our software automates significantly more of the conversion (95% to 100%) than can be achieved with other products, we believe that we are able to compete effectively with such service suppliers. We typically price our Factory Compile offering (see "-Marketing and Sales Strategy") below the prices quoted by the service suppliers who perform conversions. We believe that our Factory Compile offering can be marketed successfully, because it can be presented to the marketplace as the solution which uses a significantly greater degree of automation than is offered by service suppliers, thereby reducing the costs, time and risks of the project. COMPETITIVE EXPERIENCE Our experience in the competitive bidding process employed by many of our prospective customers leads us to believe that we have a price advantage over a majority of the other bidders. Other bidders' costs are typically higher due to their dependence on skilled people, as compared with our dependence on less costly automation. However, we have not historically enjoyed the same degree of market recognition as many of our large competitors, such as the national consulting or accounting firms against whom we often compete. Until the emergence of the year 2000 problem, some customers did not embrace the idea that automation could help them solve their problem. We believe that such uncertainty would sometimes cause a customer to award a contract to the more recognizable bidder, in spite of the higher price. This extra cost was often viewed as an "insurance policy" against any problems in the future. We have observed a shift in this trend over the past years, and many customers now will not entertain bids which do not contain the use of automated software tools. We believe that we have the capability to compete favorably because of these trends, and because we have steadily built our reputation and name recognition over the same period of time. COMPETITIVE POSITION It is possible that other software or services companies may attempt to develop new proprietary conversion software or service offerings or to enhance existing proprietary conversion software or service offerings, to compete directly in our chosen market. There are, in addition, certain other elements of risk which bear upon our competitive position (see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: Certain Business Concerns: Additional Financing; Competition; Market Size; No Assurance of Success of Marketing Strategy; Product Development; and Limited Experience of Management in the Management of Growth"). Moreover, (as indicated under "-Industry Background: Available Solutions") there are alternatives to migration as a means of adapting to technological change, and there can be no assurance that enterprise computing users will not prefer one of these alternatives. 10 It is difficult for us to assess how many potential customers have availed themselves of the other alternatives (i.e., purchased a new software package that operates on new technology platforms or rewritten the computer source code), since we do not actively track prospects who fail to meet our initial sales qualification criteria. Among qualified prospects who ultimately do not purchase from us, the rewriting option generally prevails. CORPORATE HISTORY We were formed on January 1, 1987 by a merger pursuant to the provisions of the California Corporations Code of two predecessor corporations, Jonescast, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Genasys Software Systems, Inc. (subsequently renamed Genasys Technologies, Inc., and later changed to Forecross Corporation), each incorporated under the laws of California in June, 1982. As a result of the merger, we succeeded to the business that had been carried on by the predecessor corporations since 1982. References in this Form 10-K to Forecross Corporation, Forecross, or the Company should be taken to include a reference to its predecessor companies. EMPLOYEES As of September 30, 2001, we had 33 employees. Of these, six work primarily in the Factory, five are engaged primarily in research and development work, three are in project management, four are in technical support of customer projects, two are in quality assurance, six are in sales and marketing, two are in network administration and five are in finance and administration. All employees are required to enter into a Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights Agreement which requires that they not disclose any confidential information, restricts their right to engage or have an interest in competing businesses, and requires them to promptly disclose to us the product of all work done by them while employed by and for us, and to assign to us all rights in such work product. BACKLOG Backlog, which consists of the remaining portions of projects in process, was $2,668,000 at September 30, 2001 as compared to $993,000 at September 30, 2000, due primarily to the size and state of completion of current projects. (See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.) ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our principal executive offices are located at 90 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California 94105, where we lease approximately 6,200 square feet of space under a lease which expires in December 2001. We sublease approximately 2,500 square feet of this space with the approval of our landlord and such sub-lease terminates with our lease. In September 2001, we terminated another lease with respect to approximately 4,000 square feet, which was approved by the landlord without a penalty. The space currently occupied by our staff is adequate for our needs. Annual base rent for both leases was approximately $298,000, of which $143,000 represents the terminated lease. 11 With the expiration of our remaining lease on December 31, 2001, we anticipate moving our principal offices to a new location in the same vicinity. We are currently negotiating a new lease for approximately 4,000 square feet, at an initial annual base rent of $120,000 and for a term of five years. We also maintain a sales office in Salem, New Hampshire, and a small apartment in San Francisco for use by our out-of-town staff while visiting the executive offices. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. ITEM 5.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following summary of our material activities for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is qualified by, and should be read in conjunction with more detailed information along with the financial statements and related notes and other information contained in this report. Each recipient of this document is urged to read it in its entirety. The financial results reported herein do not indicate the financial results that we may achieve in any future period. Other than the historical facts contained in this document, this Annual Report contains statements that are forward-looking, such as statements relating to plans for future activities. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf. These risks and uncertainties include concentration of sales and credit risk, outstanding indebtedness, limited financial resources and liquidity, dependence on expansion, activities of competitors, changes in federal or state laws and the administration of such laws, protection of trademarks and other proprietary rights and the general condition of the economy and its effect on the securities markets. See "Certain Business Concerns." BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW Forecross is a software company that, together with our predecessor corporations, has been in business since 1982. We develop, market and sell sophisticated software and associated services to large organizations for the automated conversion ("migration") of existing business software applications to new computing environments. During the period from 1996 through 1999, we also developed, marketed and sold similar software and services to large organizations for the automated assessment and renovation of business software applications that were not year 2000 compliant. In 1999, we commenced the development of additional tools that serve to extend our offerings in the legacy migration area. These tools include a product for testing the migrated applications, a tool for ensuring that application standards and rules remain in force as the applications are maintained and a suite of tools aimed at moving legacy applications to the internet. Called L2X-SmartXML, these tools provide the native software infrastructure to enable 14 large-scale commerce projects to succeed with a second generation technical solution. SmartXML inserts the functionality for XML data exchange directly into mainframe programs, eliminating middleware, decreasing costs and increasing business flexibility. SmartXML consists of software modules applicable to mainframe CICS programs, batch programs, reports, data file exchanges and support for mainframe programmers. SmartXML is available now as a part of our product and service offerings. Our customers include banks and other industrial and commercial organizations in the United States, Canada and Europe. Over the past two years, we have focused our efforts on rebuilding our legacy-to-web migration business, which suffered greatly during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, after having enjoyed some growth during the prior years. As the deadline for correcting the year 2000 problem approached, most large corporate enterprises worked at correcting their applications, to the almost complete exclusion of other projects, such as legacy-to-web or related migrations. Forecross offered products and services to address the year 2000 problem, and we had related revenue of $1,622,000 and of $3,052,000 during fiscal 2000 and 1999 respectively. However, year 2000 revenue never reached the amounts anticipated, and at the same time, legacy migration revenue dropped dramatically. While we have not yet been able to achieve the level of the legacy migration revenue that was displaced by year 2000 spending, we have made solid progress toward that goal during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, with related revenue of $3,014,000 and $2,318,000 respectively. We expect that the positive trend of increasing revenues will continue in the fiscal year that will end September 30, 2002. In 2001 we expanded our sales force by adding two seasoned sales executives, continued to implement cost containment activities, and developed additional infrastructure automation that we believe will be reflected in higher gross margins in the future. Our progress is shown by the reduction of our overall net loss to $429,000 or $0.03 per share in 2001 despite an adverse economic climate, from $1,277,000 or $0.09 per share in 2000, based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. In the opinion of management, if we can achieve our objectives of continuing to expand our legacy-to-web sales while continuing to decrease our cost of operations, we expect we would be profitable in the coming year. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 Total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2001 was $3,994,000 as compared to $3,939,000 for the same period of 2000, an increase of 1%. Migration services revenue for the year contributed $2,499,000 as compared to $2,048,000 a year ago. Revenue from consulting totaled $515,000 in 2001 as compared to $270,000 in 2000. There was no year 2000 services revenue in 2001, but $1,057,000 in 2000. Revenue from the amortization of deferred year 2000 distributor licenses, fees and maintenance totaled $980,000 for the current year and $565,000 for the prior year. The year 2000 distributor revenue increased $415,000 since the remaining year 2000 deferred revenue originally scheduled to be amortized over future years, was recognized in 2001. Year 2000 work effectively ceased during late 1999, and all remaining clean-up and documentation work was completed by March 2000. The Company has no remaining 15 obligations or continuing obligations with respect to its prior arrangement with year 2000 distributors or customers and does not anticipate any such obligations. Migration and consulting project revenue is recognized on the percentage- of-completion method, in the ratio that actual costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs at completion. Backlog was $2,668,000 at September 30, 2001 and $993,000 at September 30, 2000. The increase reflects the Company's having signed a large contract in March 2001, that is still in process at September 30, 2001. Gross margin was $2,449,000 and $2,583,000 for years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Gross margin percentages were 61% and 66% for these periods. $415,000 of 2001 gross margin (17% of revenue) was directly related to the increased recognition of year 2000 deferred revenue. The gross margin percentage for fiscal 2000 reflects higher margin related to year 2000 services revenue in the first fiscal quarter. Sales and marketing expenses were $814,000 for 2001 and $720,000 for 2000. The increase was directly related to the employment of two additional sales representatives during the second half of 2001. Research and development expenses were $835,000 for 2001 as compared to $913,000 in the prior year, which reflect the continuing development efforts in 2001 for enhancements to our migration products and new XML-related offerings. General and administrative expenses were $1,094,000 and $1,914,000 at the respective year ends. The reduction in general and administrative expenses was due to $652,000 in non-cash compensation expenses related to the issuance of common stock and warrants in a March 2000 private placement, and the value assigned to options issued to consultants in April 2000. Net interest and other expense was $133,000 for the year ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $313,000 in 2000. This reduction results from the conversion of much of our non-bank debt to equity in March 2000, and the continued reduction in bank borrowings. The provision for income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Due to the uncertainty of realization, a valuation allowance has been provided to eliminate the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2001 and 2000. The overall net loss for the year was $429,000 or $0.03 per share in 2001, and $1,277,000 or $0.09 per share in 2000, based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $186,000 or $0.01 per share compared to the net loss of $147,000 or $0.01 per share for the same period in 2000. YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 Total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2000 was $3,939,000 as compared to $3,460,000 for the same period of 1999, an increase of 14%. Migration services revenue for the year contributed $2,048,000 as compared to 16 $248,000 a year ago, due primarily to the signing and execution of two contracts during 2000. Year 2000 services revenue accounted for $1,057,000 of the total as compared to $2,487,000 for the same period of 1999. Revenue from consulting totaled $270,000 as compared to $160,000 in 1999, and revenue from the amortization of deferred year 2000 distributor licenses fees and maintenance remained at $565,000 for both periods. Backlog was $993,000 at September 30, 2000 and $1,172,000 at September 30, 1999. Gross margin was $2,583,000 and $715,000 for years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Gross margin percentages were 66% and 21% for these periods. The increased gross margin percentage was due to reductions in cost of revenue and reflects, in part, efforts over the past year to control costs and improve efficiencies through attrition and by adjusting staff levels for the reduction and end of year 2000 business, reductions in contractors, and the end of fees to year 2000 distributors. Sales and marketing expenses were $720,000 for 2000 and $1,047,000 for 1999. Year 2000 distributor commissions, which ended at December 31, 1999, accounted for $442,000 of the change between years. Research and development expenses were $913,000 for 2000 as compared to $728,000 in the prior year, which reflect the increase in development efforts in 2000 for enhancements to our migration products and new XML-related offerings. General and administrative expenses were $1,914,000 and $1,117,000 at the respective year ends. Most of this increase was due to non-recurring $652,000 non-cash compensation expenses related to the issuance of common stock and warrants in a March 2000 private placement, and the value assigned to options issued to consultants in April 2000. The $652,000 non-cash compensation expense was initially reported as $954,000 in our filings on Form 10Q for the March and June 2000 periods due to a clerical error in calculating the Black-Scholes value of the warrants related to the transaction. Net interest and other expense was $313,000 for the year ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $553,000 in 1999. This reduction reflects the benefit of the conversion of much of our non-bank debt to equity in March 2000, and the reduced use of bank borrowings. The provision for income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Due to the uncertainty of realization, a valuation allowance has been provided to eliminate the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2000 and 1999. The overall net loss for the year was $1,277,000 or $0.09 per share in 2000, and the loss was $2,731,000 or $0.23 per share in 1999, based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $147,000 or $0.01 per share compared to the net loss of $853,000 or $0.07 per share for the same period in 1999. 17 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Through September 30, 2001, we have sustained recurring losses from operations and, at September 30, 2001, we had a net capital deficiency of $775,000 and a net working capital deficiency of $937,000. These conditions raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. See note 1 of the notes to financial statements. The opinion of our independent certified public accountants on the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2001 also contained an explanatory paragraph regarding this doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the year ended September 30, 2001, operations were funded primarily by collection of customer accounts receivable, by cash derived from the sale of common stock for cash in a private placement transaction (see note 8 of the notes to the financial statements), by the payment received for future consulting services, and by deferrals of salaries of senior officers. We are aggressively pursuing new opportunities for migration services, including developing products and services specifically marketable to businesses currently using legacy systems but needing to migrate to more web-friendly platforms. We expect additional revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 from some of the migration contracts currently under negotiation. We are closely monitoring our sales pipeline, work in progress, collections and cash requirements to determine whether the existing sources of financing are adequate to support our operations or whether additional means of financing, including debt or equity financing, may be required to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements. If we can obtain the anticipated level of new business, and continue the use of short-term receivables financing, we believe we will have sufficient funds to meet our needs through the balance of fiscal 2002. Cash from operations and the other sources described above may not be achieved or may not be sufficient for our needs. A factoring agreement with a financial organization allows us to obtain financing by borrowing against our accounts receivable on a recourse basis. At September 30, 2001, $0 was outstanding under the agreement and at September 30, 2000, $501,000 was outstanding. The agreement, established in October 1995, and modified in March 2001, may be terminated by either the factor or us at any time. In April 2001, the Company, issued notes payable to Kim O. Jones and Bernadette C. Castello, in the amounts of $55,780 and $60,681, respectively. These amounts represent the payroll tax portion of prior debts owed to each of them by the Company that were not converted into Common Stock of the Company in connection with a private placement conducted in March, 2000. The unsecured notes bear interest a 12% per annum, and are due April 15, 2003. We anticipate that our capital expenditures for fiscal 2002 will be between $50,000 and $75,000. Cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2001 were $30,000 as compared to $19,000 at September 30, 2000. 18 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. The Company has not entered into any significant business combinations. As a result, the Company does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS Nos. 141 & 142 will impact its financial position and results of operations. In June 1998, the FASB issued No. SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize All derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings' effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which amends SFAS No. 133 to be effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which addressed certain Implementation issues of SFAS No. 133. 19 Historically, the Company has seldom entered into derivatives contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the adoption of this new standard on October 1, 2000 has not had a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows for fiscal 2001. CERTAIN BUSINESS CONCERNS UNPROFITABLE OPERATING HISTORY AND LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES We have not historically been profitable, and as of September 30, 2001, we had suffered cumulative operating losses aggregating $12,429,000, and at September 30, 2001, we had a net capital deficiency and a net working capital deficiency, and $30,000 in cash and cash equivalents. These conditions raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. During fiscal 2002, we intend to meet our working capital and other cash requirements with cash derived from operations, short-term receivables financing, and other financing as required. In addition, we must continue to improve the efficiency of our operations to achieve and maintain positive cash flow from operations. (See "-Liquidity and Capital Resources," and Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements). There is no assurance, however, that cash from operations and the other sources described above will be achieved or will be sufficient for our needs, nor that we will be able to achieve profitability on a consistent basis. ADDITIONAL FINANCING We may require additional funds to continue product development and marketing, and to support our working capital requirements. We may seek such additional financing through private placements of debt or equity financing, and through collaborative arrangements with others. If adequate funds are not available when required or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate our product development activities and sales and marketing efforts, which would adversely impact our ability to obtain new business. If this were to become necessary, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects (see "-Liquidity and Capital Resources"). 20 VOLATILITY OF COMMON STOCK Our Company's stock price has been volatile since our initial public offering on the Vancouver Stock Exchange in 1994. After the registration of our stock in the United States during 1998, the stock has continued to experience significant volatility. We believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in the results of operations, announcements of new products by us or our competitors, changes in revenue or earnings estimates by securities analysts, changes in accounting principles or their application and other factors may cause the market price of our stock to continue to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. In addition, stock prices of many technology companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to operating results. Due to market and securities analysts' expectations of continued growth and the higher price/earnings ratio at which our stock may trade, any shortfall in meeting such expectations may have a rapid and significant adverse effect on the price of our stock in the future. Fluctuations in our stock may in turn adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and to gain access to capital and financing if needed. FLUCTUATION OF QUARTERLY RESULTS We have experienced quarterly and other fluctuations in revenues and operating results and expect these fluctuations to continue in the future. We believe that these fluctuations have been attributable to the timing, size and nature of our contracts with our customers; the performance of our distributors; the timing of the introduction of new products or services by our competitors; the decision of potential customers to perform such projects using internal resources; changes in operating expenses; personnel changes; and fluctuations in economic and financial market conditions. The timing, size and nature of our contracts with our customers are important factors in our operating results. Many of these contracts involve large dollar amounts, and the sales cycle is often lengthy and unpredictable. Uncertainties include customers' budgetary constraints, the timing of their budget cycles and their internal approval process. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in closing such large contracts on a timely basis or at all. As to the nature of the contracts, most of our migration contracts are for a fixed fee. Although the contracts contain provisions allowing us to charge additional fees to our customers in the event that unanticipated or 'out of scope' work must be done, we nevertheless bear the risk of cost overruns and inflation. A significant percentage of our revenue that is derived from these contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, which requires revenue to be recorded over the term of the contract. A loss is recorded at the time when current estimates of project costs exceed unrecognized revenue. Our operating results may be adversely affected by inaccurate estimates of contract completion costs. Our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations as to future revenue and are fixed, to a large extent, in the short term. As a result, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenue relative to our expectations would have an immediate and material adverse effect on our business. 21 Due to the foregoing factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and that such comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. There can be no assurance that future revenue and operating results will not vary substantially. It is also possible that in some future period, our operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In either case, the price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected. COMPETITION We are not currently aware of any direct competitors that license, use or sell fully automated, near-complete migration software. While certain vendors do offer or use such software, none of the products currently available provides the near-complete and comprehensive automated conversion performed by our products. It is possible, however, that other software developers and vendors may create such software directed at our market. If this should happen, or if the costs and risks associated with an enterprise rewriting its business applications for the new technologies are otherwise significantly reduced, it is possible that significantly fewer enterprises will choose the migration alternative using our products. We do have some indirect competitors in the form of service organizations, such as the accounting and computer consulting companies which provide a combination of automated and manual conversion, and certain of these organizations have significantly greater resources, both of capital and personnel, than we do, and much greater general name recognition (see "Business: Competition" and "Business: Competitive Position"). There can be no assurance that our migration products and services will compete effectively with those of our current and potential competitors, nor that future competition for product sales and services will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and our financial condition (see "Business: Competition"). DEPENDENCE ON A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS The results of our operations are attributable to a limited number of orders, the average size of which is over $500,000. During the year ended September 30, 2001, Airline Tariff Publishing Company (26%), our Distributors, when treated as one customer (25%), the University of California (22%) and the European Patent Office (13%) represented 86% of total revenue. During the year ended September 30, 2000, the University of California (26%), MetLife (21%), our Distributors, when treated as one customer (14%) and Nate Murphy and Associates (13%) represented 74% of total revenue. Airline Tariff Publishing Company and the University of California accounted for 69% and 24% respectively, of our accounts receivable at September 30, 2001. The University of California and MetLife accounted for 75% and 22% respectively of our accounts receivable at September 30, 2000. The loss or deferral of one or more significant sales or failure to collect on a significant accounts receivable from any customer could cause substantial fluctuations in our results of operations (see Notes 2 and 3 of Notes to Financial Statements). While we believe that the market for our migration services will offer the opportunity to expand the number of customers and projects in process at any given time, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our sales efforts or that a weakening in customer demand would not have an immediate material adverse effect. 22 MARKET SIZE The market for our migration products may be smaller than we project, whether because companies in the marketplace elect for budgetary or other reasons not to pursue automated migration or any other form of software conversion, or because they do so at a rate that is much lower than we expect (see "Business: Market"). If this should happen, it will have a direct impact upon the rate of our growth. NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS OF MARKETING STRATEGY We have, over the years, experimented with a variety of approaches to the marketing of our products. Our current strategy for our migration products and services, based on direct marketing, has been in place for approximately seven years. While present indications are that the strategy is well-adapted to the market which we have targeted, there can be no assurance that over the long term it will be successful. Successful implementation of the marketing plan requires, among other things, sales and marketing personnel with an ability to communicate clearly to potential customers our ability to complete migration projects successfully, and this requires an understanding of both the technology and the marketplace. (See "Business: Marketing and Sales Strategy"). LIABILITY EXPOSURE We market our products and services to customers for managing the renovation of mission-critical computer software systems. Our agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to 23 potential product and service liability claims. It is possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in our customer agreements may not be effective as a result of existing or future federal, state, local or foreign laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. Although we have not experienced any material product or service liability claims to date, the sale and support of our products and services may entail the risk of such claims that could be substantial in light of the use of our products and services in mission-critical applications. We do not presently maintain insurance coverage for our products and services and a successful product or service liability claim brought against us could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The development of complex, large-scale, multiple environment computer software presents a difficult engineering challenge, and it is possible that we may not be able to continue to develop products responsive to market requirements on a timely or cost-effective basis, or at all. If that should happen, there is a risk that other competing products might be launched earlier and capture a significant part of the market targeted by us. LIMITED EXPERIENCE OF MANAGEMENT IN THE MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH While our present management, having been our founders, have been principally responsible for the growth of our business to date, they may not be in a position to provide the full range of skills required to manage the further growth of the Company's business, and it may be necessary to recruit competent personnel to supplement their skills and experience. While we believe that we will be able to recruit competent personnel with the required skills, competition for such personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in finding, attracting and retaining them. Failure to do so could have an adverse impact upon our business. CONTROL BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The current directors and officers of the Company beneficially own approximately 17% of the actual Common Shares outstanding. As a result, our current directors and officers exercise considerable control over our affairs. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL Our progress to date has to a significant extent been dependent on the skills of certain key personnel, including Kim O. Jones and Bernadette C. Castello, the founders and principal shareholders and, respectively, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of our Company. We have not entered into employment contracts with these or any other members of management or other employees. In addition, competition for highly skilled technical, management, financial, marketing and sales, and other personnel in the computer industry is intense. Loss of the services of any of our present key personnel, or an inability to attract and retain needed additional personnel could have a materially adverse effect us. In addition, we sometimes rely upon qualified, experienced subcontractors to support our migration services work. The inability to find and retain sufficient qualified subcontractors may adversely impact our operations. 24 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION While we believe that our products and technologies are adequately protected against infringement by confidentiality agreements, licensing agreements, copyright laws and the complex nature of the products and technologies themselves, there can be no assurance of effective protection. Monitoring and identifying unauthorized use of our technology may prove difficult, and the cost of, distraction, and time required for litigation may impair or completely frustrate our ability to guard adequately against such infringement. GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS Forecross products are designed for large organizations that typically make significant investments in their MIS departments. Expenditures by such organizations tend to vary in cycles that reflect overall economic conditions. Our business is, therefore, vulnerable to variations in economic conditions generally, or to those variations which affect the economic prospects of corporations and organizations in its target market, and which could affect the capital spending or budget cycles of prospective customers. Economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere have recently been adverse. War or terrorism in the United States or worldwide have affected those conditions recently and could do so in the future. ITEM 8.

SOFTWARE LICENSES AND DISTRIBUTORSHIPS: The Company entered into agreements with several entities (the "Distributors") for licenses and distributorship arrangements for its year 2000 software products, Assess/2000 and Complete/2000, and related services. The Distributors are related to each other through some common ownership and management; a shareholder of the Company is a founding investor and officer of each of the other entities. At least one other shareholder of the Company is also an investor in at least one of the Distributors. Under the distributorship agreements, the Distributors received territorially exclusive rights to market year 2000 renovation projects to be performed by the Company using the Complete/2000 software, and year 2000 assessment projects to be performed either by the Company or the Distributor using the Assess/2000 software. In exchange for sales and marketing services and support, customer contact, project management services and staffing for a portion of the on-site work, the Distributor generally received a fee equal to 25% of collected revenues. The Company allocated those fees 25% to cost of services and maintenance, and 75% to sales and marketing expense. The exclusivity rights under these contracts were generally for an initial one-year period, but were renewable for up to four additional years based on certain performance conditions. The Distributors generally had separate agreements for license rights for unlimited usage of the Assess/2000 product. In the case of one contract, fees payable were 50% of collected revenues until $1,500,000 was received by the Distributor, and 25% of revenue collected thereafter. During fiscal 1998, the $1,500,000 amount had been earned, with all subsequent fees earned at the 25% rate. The licensing and distributorship fees received from the Distributors, totaling $3,125,000 and $200,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, were generally deferred and recognized over a five year period commencing with the signing of the respective agreements. Of these amounts, none remains deferred at September 30, 2001, and approximately $865,000 and $1,410,000 was deferred at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

32 INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Forecross Corporation We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Forecross Corporation as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2001. We have also audited the Schedule listed in the accompanying index at Item 14. These financial statements and the Schedule are the responsibility of Forecross Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the Schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United State of America. These standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and Schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and Schedule. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and Schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Forecross Corporation at September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ BDO SEIDMAN, LLP BDO SEIDMAN, LLP San Francisco, California December 10, 2001 F-1

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. F-5 FORECROSS CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. THE COMPANY: OPERATIONS: Forecross Corporation ("Forecross" or the "Company") is a publicly held California corporation whose common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter/ Bulletin Board market. Prior to October 28, 1998, the Company's common stock was traded on the Vancouver Stock Exchange. The Company develops, markets and sells sophisticated software and associated services to large organizations for the automated conversion ("migration") of existing business software applications to new computing environments. During the period from 1996 through 1999, Forecross also developed, marketed and sold similar software and services to large organizations for the automated assessment and renovation of business software applications that were not year 2000 compliant. In 1999, the Company commenced the development of additional tools that extend its offerings in the legacy migration area. These tools include a product for testing the migrated applications, a tool for ensuring that application standards and rules remain in force as the applications are maintained and a suite of tools aimed at moving legacy applications to the internet. Called L2X-SmartXML, these tools provide the native software infrastructure to enable large-scale commerce projects to succeed with a second generation technical solution. SmartXML inserts the functionality for XML data exchange directly into mainframe programs, eliminating middleware, decreasing costs and increasing business flexibility. SmartXML consists of software modules applicable to mainframe CICS programs, batch programs, reports, data file exchanges and support for mainframe programmers. SmartXML is available as a part of the Company's product and consulting service offerings. The Company's customers include banks and other industrial and commercial corporations in Canada, the United States and Europe. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN: Through September 30, 2001, the Company had sustained recurring losses from operations and had a net capital deficiency and negative working capital as of September 30, 2001. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. During fiscal 2002, the Company expects to meet its working capital and other cash requirements with cash derived from operations, short-term receivables financing and other financing as required, and software license fees from organizations desiring access to the Company's various product offerings. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations by controlling expenses and obtaining additional business. Management believes that the return of migration contracts combined with increased automation of its services for migration projects and cost reduction actions previously implemented should improve the Company's profitability in fiscal 2002. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to achieve and maintain profitable operations will be, successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. F-6 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures, contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates subject to future uncertainties are those relating to calculations of percentage of completion for projects in process and estimations of warranty liability. It is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within a year. CASH: The Company maintains its cash balances with one financial institution. At times, such balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE: Equipment and furniture is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease, generally five years. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS: Costs incurred internally in creating computer software products to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Thereafter, such costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers and amortized based on either estimated current and future revenue for each product or straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated life of the product, whichever produces the higher expense for the period. Purchased computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed is treated the same if it has no alternative future use, or, if it has an alternative future use, it is capitalized when acquired and amortized over its estimated useful life. Non-capitalizable development and marketing costs related to the software licenses are included in research and development expense or sales and marketing expense, as discussed in "Net Revenues and Cost of Services and Maintenance" below. The Company has capitalized certain purchased software technology rights that can be used both in connection with its internally developed software products and in alternative standalone applications (see Note 10.) Accordingly, these rights are included with other purchased software in fixed assets, and are being amortized over their estimated useful life of three years. F-7 LONG-LIVED ASSETS: Long-lived assets are assessed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, or whenever management has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. Such assets are carried at the lower of book value or fair value as estimated by management based on appraisals, current market value, and comparable sales value, as appropriate. Assets to be held and used affected by such impairment loss are depreciated or amortized at their new carrying amount over the remaining estimated life; assets to be sold or otherwise disposed of are not subject to further depreciation or amortization. In determining whether an impairment exists, the Company uses undiscounted future cash flows compared to the carrying value of the asset. NET REVENUES AND COST OF SERVICES AND MAINTENANCE: The Company's migration and consulting projects generally range from six to eighteen months in duration. The Company's year 2000 projects ranged from two to eighteen months in duration. Revenues for migration services and year 2000 assessment or renovation projects are recognized using the percentage of completion method in the ratio that actual costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs at completion. Consulting projects are recognized on a time and materials basis as work is performed. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized in the period in which the likelihood of such losses is determined. Reserves provided for estimated adjustments of contract revenues are included as reductions of gross revenues. Cost of revenues is primarily comprised of subcontractors' fees and salaries and benefits of employees assigned to the contracts, and distributors' fees. Subcontractors' fees, salaries and benefits are allocated based on the amount of time devoted to each contract by the subcontractors and employees; distributors' fees are accrued based on revenues earned for specific projects for which the distributors provide services. Billings are issued based upon specific contractual terms that may or may not relate to the percentage of completion for the respective contracts. Unbilled receivables represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. Amounts for billings in excess of revenue recognized are included in deferred revenue. The Company had authorized several exclusive distributor agreements for specified areas for its Complete/2000 automated conversion software products and related services and methodologies. Under the agreements, the distributor retained exclusive rights for the territory for a specified period. In addition, the Company licensed the rights to use its Assess/2000 software, which as of September 30, 2000, had been sold primarily to the exclusive distributors above. Once the collection of the distributor and license fees was reasonably assured, and there was no significant post-delivery obligations, the Company recognized the fees associated with exclusivity and the software licenses ratably over the contractual term (including renewals), generally five years, commencing with the date of the respective signing of the agreements. Costs associated with the licenses for Assess/2000 have been included in research and development expense, as such costs did not qualify for capitalization. Costs associated with the marketing and negotiation of distributor customer proposals and/or sales contracts have been included in sales and marketing expense. Revenues for technical and sales training, maintenance and support were recognized ratably over the term of the support period. F-8 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In prior years, certain research and development projects have been funded in part by customers. In such cases, the Company retains ownership of the resulting products, which are developed for resale to multiple customers; both the initial and subsequent customers acquire licenses to use the developed products. During the three years ended September 30, 2001, there were no such customer-funded research and development projects. WARRANTY EXPENSE: The Company provides warranties on its migration projects covering the cost of software error correction. A reserve for warranty costs based on estimates of such related costs and expenses is accrued ratably as revenues are earned. The accrued warranty reserve is amortized over the related warranty period for the respective contract, typically a period of three months to one year for application migration projects, and six months for year 2000 projects. Amortization for year 2000 projects commenced January 2000 and was completed June 2000. INCOME TAXES: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year 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. The provision for income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. NET LOSS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the Potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Due to the losses, there were no includable equivalents in any period presented. Options and warrants to purchase 2,985,268, 2,524,268, and 975,300 shares of common stock were outstanding at years ended 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These were not included in the calculation of net loss per share as they were anti-dilutive due to losses in all years. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: The Company follows the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the SFAS No. 123 fair value method had been applied. The Company continues to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for the preparation of its basic financial statements. F-9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, and accounts and notes receivable, amounts payable to factor and notes payable to related parties. The carrying value of cash and accounts receivable approximate fair value based upon the liquidity and short-term nature of the assets. The carrying value of notes receivable and amounts payable to factor substantially approximate fair value based upon current market interest rates, the short-term maturity of certain of the notes and relative amounts owed. The fair value of notes payable to related parties is not determinable due to the unavailability of similar instruments. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS: In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. The Company has not entered into any significant business combinations. As a result, the Company does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS No. 141 & 142 will impact its financial position and results of operations. F-10 In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings' effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which addressed certain implementation issues of SFAS No. 133. Historically, the Company has seldom entered into derivatives contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the adoption of this new standard on October 1, 2000 has not had a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 1999, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. There was no material impact from the application of SAB No. 101 on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. 3. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FOREIGN SALES: The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable as the majority of the Company's customers are large, well-established companies. Customer concentrations are detailed below. In the following table, revenues from the Company's Distributors are treated as resulting from one customer (see Note 4).

F-11 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: The Company has certain transactions with related parties in the ordinary course of business as set forth below. NOTES PAYABLE: Notes payable to officers and related parties consist of the following: SEPTEMBER 30, NOTES PAYABLE 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------- -------- -------- 11.5% note payable to a related party, collateralized by software and technology, due August 27, 2002 . . . . . $100,000 $100,000 12% uncollateralized note payable to president, due April 15, 2003 . . . . . . 55,780 0 12% uncollateralized note payable to senior vice president, due April 15, 2003 60,681 0 Accrued interest. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18,987 1,082 -------- -------- 235,448 101,082 Less current maturities . . . . . . . . . . 100,000 0 -------- -------- Payable to officers and related parties (less current portion). . . . . . . . . . $135,448 $101,082 ======== ======== SOFTWARE LICENSES AND DISTRIBUTORSHIPS: The Company entered into agreements with several entities (the "Distributors") for licenses and distributorship arrangements for its year 2000 software products, Assess/2000 and Complete/2000, and related services. The Distributors are related to each other through some common ownership and management; a shareholder of the Company is a founding investor and officer of each of the other entities. At least one other shareholder of the Company is also an investor in at least one of the Distributors. Under the distributorship agreements, the Distributors received territorially exclusive rights to market year 2000 renovation projects to be performed by the Company using the Complete/2000 software, and year 2000 assessment projects to be performed either by the Company or the Distributor using the Assess/2000 software. In exchange for sales and marketing services and support, customer contact, project management services and staffing for a portion of the on-site work, the Distributor generally received a fee equal to 25% of collected revenues. The F-12 Company allocates those fees 25% to cost of services and maintenance, and 75% to sales and marketing expense. The exclusivity rights under these contracts were generally for an initial one-year period, but were renewable for up to four additional years based on certain performance conditions. The Distributors generally had separate agreements for license rights for unlimited usage of the Assess/2000 product. In the case of one contract, fees payable were 50% of collected revenues until $1,500,000 was received by the Distributor, and 25% of revenue collected thereafter. During fiscal 1998, the $1,500,000 amount had been earned, with all subsequent fees earned at the 25% rate. The licensing and distributorship fees received from the Distributors, totaling $3,125,000 and $200,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, were generally deferred and recognized over a five year period commencing with the signing of the respective agreements. Of these amounts, approximately $0, $865,000 and $1,410,000 was deferred at September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Additional fees of approximately $672,000 for training programs, annual software maintenance, and customer support were received in 1997. Of this amount, approximately $0, $115,000 and $135,000 was deferred at September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The year 2000 project fee expense related to the distributor contracts, included in cost of revenues in the accompanying statements of operations, was approximately $18,000 and $166,000 for the years ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The year 2000 expenses related to the distributor contracts, included in sales and marketing expenses, were approximately $55,000 and $497,000 for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. No project fees or other year 2000 expenses were incurred in fiscal 2001. 5. EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE: Equipment and furniture is comprised of the following: SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ Computer equipment and software (see Note 10) $ 1,148,149 $ 1,133,067 Furniture and equipment . . . . . . . . . . . 310,890 310,890 Leasehold improvements. . . . . . . . . . . . 41,212 77,117 ------------ ------------ Total Assets. . . . . . . . . . . 1,500,251 1,521,074 Accumulated depreciation and amortization . .

Amortization of software technology rights was $92,834, $83,417, and $50,000 in the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. 6. PAYABLE TO FACTOR: In October 1995, the Company entered into a recourse factoring agreement with a financial organization whereby the Company is able to obtain financing of up to 80% of purchased trade accounts receivable, with a maximum available limit of $1,250,000. In March 2001, the Company signed an agreement modifying its factoring terms to reduce the interest rate to 1.75% per month and the administrative fees to 0.75%. As part of the agreement, the Company granted to the financial organization 100,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Stock (see Note 8) The Company's obligations under this agreement are secured by the assets of the Company and have been personally guaranteed by the president and senior vice president of the Company, who are significant shareholders of the Company. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company's outstanding indebtedness under the agreement was $0 and $501,000, respectively. The agreement may be terminated by either the factor or the Company at any time. F-13 7. INCOME TAXES: The components of the provision for income taxes are summarized as follows: YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- Current: State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,600 $ 0 $ 800 Foreign . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 0 0 Total provision for income taxes. . $ 1,600 $ 0 $ 800 The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows: YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- Federal statutory rate. . . . . . .

Certain amounts will be amortized into income over a four year period. Since the Company could not determine if it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized, a 100% valuation allowance has been provided against the deferred tax assets at September 30, 2001 and 2000. The increase in the valuation allowance was $129,000, $93,000 and $643,000 in the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. F-14 At September 30, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and California state income tax purposes of approximately $9,091,000 and $2,913,000, respectively. These carryforwards expire in varying amounts through 2021. Pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, utilization of these net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to any greater than 50% change in the ownership of the Company within a three-year period. 8. COMMON STOCK: In December 1998, the Company extended the expiration date of 270,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $4.00 per share, scheduled to expire in December 1998, to a new expiration date of December 31, 1999. The value assigned to the warrant extension was $0.10 per warrant. Also, in exchange for the surrender of certain demand registration rights which were held by the same warrant holders, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.125 per share. In January 1999, the Company sold in a private placement 418,332 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $313,750. In connection with the private placement, the Company issued to the placement agent, warrants to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share, expiring in five years. In January 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 1,175,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $235,000. In March 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 613,530 shares at $2.66 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $1,632,000. Additionally, 1,063,006 shares were issued to the Company's senior officers and employees, year 2000 distributors and a director, converting Company debt from loans, deferred payroll, travel expenses and year 2000 distributor revenue sharing, to equity at a conversion price of $2.66 per share. The total debt converted into equity was $2,827,596. With each share issued to investors in this private placement and to those converting debt, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase one half share of stock at $2.66 per share at a future date for a total of 838,268 warrant shares. The warrants expire upon the earlier of three years, or 30 days after the 10-day trading average closing price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $7.98 per share (if a registration statement covering the underlying shares has been declared effective). In connection with this private placement, the Company also issued to a finder warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $2.66 per share which expire in three years. A total of $652,000 in non-cash compensation expense was recorded for the beneficial pricing effect to senior officers, employees, year 2000 distributors and a director. In March 2001, the Company signed an agreement modifying its factoring terms to reduce the interest rate and fees charged. As part of the agreement, the Company granted to the financial organization 100,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company's stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $1.12 per share, and an expiration date of September 1, 2005. The Company has recorded $56,705 in expense for these warrants. In June 2001, the Company completed a private placement of 1,800,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $900,000. With each share the Company also issued a warrant to purchase one half share of stock at $0.75 per share at a future date. The warrants expire upon the earlier of three years, or 10 days after the 20-day trading average closing price of the Company's stock equals or exceeds $1.25 per share (if a registration statement covering the underlying shares has been declared effective.) F-15 9. RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE PLAN: In June 1993, the Board of Directors approved the 1993 Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan allows employees and consultants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a price not less than the fair value. The maximum aggregate number of shares which may be sold under the Plan is 1,000,000 shares of common stock. No shares were sold under the Plan in 2001, 2000 or 1999. Shares purchased under the Plan are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company at the original purchase price upon the termination of the purchaser's employment or consulting relationship with the Company. Except for the initial stock purchases in 1993, for which the vesting commenced on June 25, 1992, the right to repurchase generally lapses at the rate of one-third (1/3) after one year from the date of purchase, and one-thirty-sixth (1/36) of the original number of shares purchased per month thereafter. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, no shares are subject to the Company's repurchase option under this provision. No shares were repurchased during the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999. 10. STOCK OPTIONS: In April 1994, the Board of Directors approved the 1994 Stock Option Plan, whereby employees and consultants may be granted incentive and non-statutory stock options. Depending on the employee's stock ownership percentage, incentive stock options are granted with exercise prices ranging from 100% to 110% of the fair value of stock at the date of grant. Depending on stock ownership percentage, non-statutory stock options are granted with exercise prices ranging from 85% to 110% of the fair value of stock at the date of grant. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be optioned and sold under the plan is 950,500. The term of each option is that stated in each specific option agreement provided that the term does not exceed ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of an optionee already owning common stock representing 10% or more of the voting power), and generally vest over three years. Stock option activity under the Plan is as follows:

F-16 SHARES GRANTED OUTSIDE OF THE PLAN: On March 17, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant of options to purchase 80,000 shares of its common stock to a member of its Board of Directors under its 1994 Stock Option Plan and the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of 258,900 shares of its common stock to various employees outside the 1994 Stock Option Plan. All of these options vest over various periods of up to four years, and are exercisable at a price of $3.25 per share for a period of five years. In April 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of 340,000 shares of its common stock to two principals of 2000 Technologies, Inc. 140,000 of these options, valued at $246,000, were issued in exchange for perpetual, exclusive rights to a software product owned and marketed by them, and were fully vested upon issuance. The remainder, which relate to services to be received by the Company, vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of issuance. All of these options were issued outside the 1994 Stock Option Plan, and are exercisable at a price of $2.66 per share for a period of five years. The $246,000 fair value of the options issued for capitalized software is included with other purchased software in fixed assets, and is amortized over a three-year life. Additional capitalized software costs related to these grants were $6,000 and $29,000 in fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. Additional consulting expense related to these grants was $6,000 and $29,000 for 2001 and 2000, respectively. In addition, throughout the 2000 fiscal year, the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant of options to purchase 30,500 shares of its common stock to various employees. All of these options were issued outside the 1994 Stock Option Plan, and are exercisable at various prices from $1.00 to $1.44 per share for a period of five years. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for its plan.

F-17 The fair value of the Company's stock option grants is amortized over the service period. The average fair values of options granted during the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, were $0.66 and $1.90, respectively. There were no stock options granted in the year ended September 30, 1999. The fair value was estimated as of the date of grant using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing method based upon the following weighted average assumptions for 2001 and 2000: YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------- 2001 2000 Expected life (years) . . . 2.50 2.25 Expected volatility . . . . 199% 185% Risk free interest rate . . 4.00% 6.00% 11. PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLANS: The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees, under which employees may defer their eligible compensation (up to the statutorily and 401(k) plan prescribed limits) and have the amount of the deferral contributed to the 401(k) plan. Employees who have completed one year of service may, at the company's sole discretion, receive a matching contribution from the company up to a maximum of 4% of the participants' eligible compensation. The Company's cost of the 401(k) profit sharing plan was $-6,564 (net expense after adjustment), $61,010 and $71,682 in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the plan years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, $66,149 and $84,337, plus penalties and interest, have not yet been funded by the Company. 12. LEASE COMMITMENTS: The Company leases office space and equipment under operating leases. Rent expense under operating leases was $336,382, $318,277, and $302,495 in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Subsequent to year-end, the Company began negotiations with a new landlord for new office space. The pending lease, which will begin during the first calendar quarter of 2002, is expected to have an initial base rent of $120,000 per year for a term of five years. As of September 30, 2001, future minimum lease payments under operating leases, including expected payments under the new pending operating lease, are as follows: YEARS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, -------------------------- 2002 $138,000 2003 119,000 2004 124,000 2005 132,000 2006 134,000 Thereafter 45,000 -------- Total $690,833 ======== F-18 13.
