ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
One Voice Technologies is a voice recognition technology company with over $20
Million invested in Research and Development and more than 20 Million products
distributed worldwide in seven languages by Warner Home Video (WHV). To date,
our customers include Warner Brothers with strong technology and business
partnerships with Philips Electronics and IBM. Based on our patented technology,
One Voice offers voice solutions for the Telecom, Motion Picture DVD
Entertainment and PC markets. Our solutions allow mobile and residential phone
users to Voice Dial, Group Conference Call, Read and Send E-Mail and Instant
Messages all by voice. We plan to offer these solutions through both domestic
and international wireless and wireline carriers. We also offer the motion

strongly positioned across the Telecom and PC markets with our patented
technology.
Located in San Diego, California, the Company has 9 full-time employees and is
traded on the NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") under the symbol
ONEV.OB. One Voice commenced operations as Conversational Systems, Inc. on
January 1, 1999 as a privately held California corporation, and on July 14,
1999, merged into Dead On, Inc., a publicly traded company incorporated in
Nevada in 1995. On September 9, 1999, the company officially changed its name to
One Voice Technologies, Inc.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
The presence of voice technology as an interface in mobile communications is of
paramount importance. Voice interface technology makes portable communications
products mobile, more effective and safer to use. One Voice's development
efforts currently are focused on the Telecom market and more specifically on
mobile communications and mobile messaging. The Messaging market, which has both
business and consumer market applications including: E-mail, Instant Messages,
SMS (Short Message Service), and Paging, is extremely large and is growing at an
astonishing rate. Over six trillion text messages are sent globally every year,
and messaging has also shown the consistent ability to generate significant
revenue. One Voice solutions enable users to send, intelligently route and
receive text messages using voice from any type of phone (wired or wireless)
anywhere in the world.
One Voice's solutions address the entire phone market including analog, digital,
CDMA, TDMA, GSM, iDEN and wired phones, allowing telephony carriers and users to
deploy solutions quickly with little additional effort. Given the growing
competition in the wireless markets and the opportunities presented by the
Mobile Internet, One Voice's 4th Generation Voice Technology is well positioned
for commercialization.
One Voice is focused on communications solutions that are mobile, not just
portable. Devices like PDA's, Laptops and Cell Phones are highly portable
because they are easily transported from location to location, but they are not
necessarily mobile (i.e. easy to use while one is moving). Mobile solutions are
not only portable, but they are easy and safe to operate while moving. Portable
solutions such as cell phones, PDA's and laptops are not easy to operate safely
while operating motor vehicles, especially in crowded and intense traffic. Case
in point, New York has passed legislation requiring hands-free use of cell
phones and any other communication device during the operation of an automobile
citing safety concerns. Currently 42 other states are considering similar
legislation. Additional legislation could significantly increase the immediate
demand for a completely integrated and voice activated mobile communication
solution. One Voice's technology supports hands-free operation and will bring
mobile phones and other devices into compliance with the newly adopted
legislation.
ONE VOICE SERVICES
The MobileVoice Platform was designed based on patented voice technology and
years of research and development. The platform is server-based, so it is easy
to deploy and maintain and because it does not require a mobile device upgrade,
it works with 100% of a carrier's subscriber base. Optimized for mobile
environments, the system uses a modular architecture that is highly reliable,
scalable and redundant and delivers unparalleled performance in terms of
accuracy and functionality.
1
MOBILEVOICE ACTIVATED DIALING(TM)
Designed from the ground up to meet the unique needs of wireless carriers,
MobileVoice Activated Dialing is server-based and delivers higher levels of
accuracy and reliability than any solution on the market today. It has higher
capacity for contact lists, more functionality such as synchronization and
import tools that interface with Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, and requires
less setup time than other solutions. It is designed to meet the challenges of
mobile environments with high accuracy for native and non-native speaking
individuals.
MOBILECONFERENCE(TM)
On-the-fly group conferencing is a powerful new addition to One Voice's
MobileVoice solution. MobileConference allows users to quickly connect up to 64
people on a single conference call just by speaking their name, group name or
phone number.
MOBILEVOICE EMAIL(TM)
The Telecom industry's only Voice-to-Text Email solution let's subscribers send
free-form email messages while on the road. Designed for high levels of accuracy
in a mobile environment, MobileVoice Email sets the standard for mobile
communications.
MOBILEVOICE SMS(TM)
Short Message Service (SMS) has gained wide popularity in Europe and is now
hitting the streets in North America. MobileVoice SMS is the Telecom industry's
only Voice-to-Text SMS solution that let's subscribers send free-form messages
from phone-to-phone with only their voice. No need to Tap or WAP, MobileVoice
SMS truly enables mobility and communications to a 100% addressable phone
market. With MobileVoice SMS subscribers can send messages within network or
even to subscribers on other networks. Now, voice based inter-carrier SMS is
available today with MobileVoice SMS.
MOBILEVOICE INSTANT MESSAGING(TM)
Instant Messaging has long been a popular way for friends and colleagues to
communicate on their computers. MobileVoice Instant Messaging now takes Instant
Messaging mobile, letting people chat and send quick messages with only their
voice. Targeted at subscribers and enterprise customers, MobileVoice Instant
Messaging sets the standard for voice based instant communications, anytime,
anywhere.
MOBILEVOICE VOICE MAIL(TM)
A popular way to leave messages, MobileVoice Voice Mail lets subscribers record
and send messages in their own voice. The voice recording of your message will
be sent as an Email attachment to the recipient or group of recipients for quick
retrieval from any computer or any phone.
MOBILEVOICE EMAIL READER(TM)
We have designed MobileVoice Email Reader to be the most powerful and versatile
solution on the market. With MobileVoice Email Reader, subscribers take full
control of their Email accounts from any phone. Subscribers can easily find
important messages and respond to one person or many in seconds. Need to forward
a message on to others? No problem! MobileVoice Email Reader offers full Reply
and Forward capabilities. Need access to your home and work Email accounts?
MobileVoice Email Reader delivers - giving users access to personal and
corporate Email accounts from any phone.
TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
To date, widespread applications of voice technology for use in mobile
communication have been very basic, recognizing a limited number of words and
using rigid menu systems delivering a constrained amount of content. One Voice's
technology positions itself uniquely in the Voice Market. The Company's
Intelligent Voice Platform(TM) (IVP) uses patented Artificial Intelligence and
Natural Language Processing, which is highly intelligent, with the ability to
identify individual users, tap into a database of user specific information, and
dynamically learn and leverage a vocabulary of over 300,000 words. The
2
technology employs a flexible architecture, allowing it to reside and operate on
a device itself, in a server-based architecture or a mix of both, making it
extremely adaptable to different usage models. The IVP also provides
anytime/anywhere access to information, reduces training time and lowers costs
for both consumers and businesses. The technology is functionally superior and
extremely easy to use. Users can simply download information into the One Voice
server from e-mail applications directly, and the Voice Activated Dialing (VAD)
system is operational with no voice training needed.
One Voice has also developed several other technologies that enhance the
offerings of the IVP. MultiSite (TM) is a proprietary context-based searching
technology that finds multiple websites for any category and retrieves them
simultaneously. It is particularly helpful when performing Internet searching on
devices such as mobile phones. VoiceSite(TM) is a proprietary technology that
makes websites voice interactive. It allows companies to voice enable their
sites quickly and easily, as well as suggestively create a customized experience
for visitors.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
One Voice is the industry's first and only provider of 4th Generation voice
technology. The evolution of speech technology can be broken into four
generations as follows:
GENERATION 1 systems require minimal processing power and storage and are often
used in embedded devices. These solutions can typically recognize 20-30 words or
less and are usually founded embedded in electronic devices such as phones,
toys, etc. Due to its limitations, this technology is typically used for limited
command & control functions or applications. Companies focused in this space
include Conversay and IBM among others.
GENERATION 2 systems expand the recognition capabilities seen in Generation 1
increasing the vocabulary to potentially hundreds of words. These systems
frequently use menus to support the delivery of content as seen in Interactive
Voice Response (IVR) systems for airline reservations, banking and Voice
Portals. Due to the use of menus, these systems can typically deliver a maximum
of 6-8 areas of content horizontally and 3-4 layers down in the menu trees
before running the risk of "user overload." Companies focused in this space
include Speechworks International, Nuance Communications, Preferred Voice,
HeyAnita, Bevocal and Tell-Me among others.
GENERATION 3 systems expand the recognition capabilities significantly to
hundreds of thousands of words. The systems can support continuous, free-form
transcription of voice into text. These systems are typically used for desktop
dictation applications running on PC's in the sectors of word processing,
medical and legal transcription. Companies focused in this space include IBM,
ScanSoft and Philips.
GENERATION 4 systems take the capabilities of all the previous generations and
adds powerful expert systems and Artificial Intelligence capabilities to allow
the solutions to not only recognize words, but also understand their meaning.
This opens the doors to higher degrees of personalization, more robust system
interaction and more advanced applications such as Voice-to-Text Messaging on a
phone and full Internet searching. One Voice is currently the only company in
the voice technology sector that offers 4th Generation voice technology.
MAJOR MARKET ADVANTAGES
WIRELESS CARRIERS looking to drive incremental revenue could utilize One Voice's
technology to expand mobile messaging offerings. One Voice services apply to
100% of the addressable market, where extensive research clearly indicates
strong demand. One Voice can add significant fundamental value by creating
revenue opportunities through: 1) mobile use minutes, 2) recurring fees for
subscription services, 3) m-commerce transactions and 4) license fees for
voice-enabling content. One Voice's solutions can also play a key role in
helping wireless carriers differentiate their brand and service offerings,
attracting new users and reducing churn. Additionally, the interoperability of
One Voice's technology gives it the ability to link multiple wireless carrier
networks, creating greater flexibility and driving consumer demand.
INSTANT AND UNIFIED MESSAGING: OPERATORS of Instant Messaging and Unified
Messaging systems could significantly expand market share and drive revenues
through integration of the Company's technology with its messaging capabilities.
With One Voice, a mobile phone can be used to send instant messages, similar to
a PC or PDA. This ability provides a differentiation for the service and thus
drives additional revenue from other channels, such as Internet and e-mail
services.
3
INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS: Many of the leading mobile device hardware
manufacturers also provide infrastructure services to wireless carriers. One
Voice's technology provides a point of differentiation which could be bundled
with infrastructure. Wireless carriers could then offer the technology to their
subscribers, driving mobile phone minutes and increasing revenues.
VOICE TECHNOLOGY THROUGH PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE: A key advantage of the One Voice
technology is that it is platform independent. The technology is adaptable and
highly intelligent allowing it to operate on a device itself, in a server
environment or a combination of the two. This creates expansive market
opportunities including usage in mobile phones, PC's, wired and wireless
handheld devices and other consumer electronics products.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 2003, we employed 9 full-time employees and 3
consultant/part-time employees. None of these employees is subject to a
collective bargaining agreement, and there is no union representation within our
company. We maintain various employee benefit plans and believe our employee
relations are good.
RISK FACTORS
This section summarizes certain risks regarding our business and industry. The
following information should be considered in conjunction with the other
information included and incorporated by reference in this report on Form 10-KSB
before purchasing shares of our stock.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES. WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES, AND WE MAY
NEVER ACHIEVE AND SUSTAIN PROFITABILITY.
Since inception, we have incurred significant losses and have negative cash
flows from operations. These factors, among others discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a
going concern. We expect to continue to incur net losses until sales generate
sufficient revenues to fund our continuing operations. We may fail to achieve
significant revenues from sales or achieve or sustain profitability. There can
be no assurance of when, if ever, we will be profitable or be able to maintain
profitability.
OUR LIMITED FUNDING MAY RESTRICT OUR OPERATIONS AND OUR ABILITY TO EXECUTE OUR
BUSINESS STRATEGY, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF ADDITIONAL FINANCING IS UNCERTAIN.
We believe that our available short-term assets will be sufficient to meet our
operating expenses and capital expenditures until June 2004. We do not know if
additional financing will be available when needed, or if it is available, if it
will be available on acceptable terms. Insufficient funds may prevent us from
implementing our business strategy or may require us to delay, scale back or
eliminate certain contracts for the provision of voice recognition Internet
search software.
ANY INABILITY TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY COULD HARM OUR
ABILITY TO COMPETE.
Our pending patent applications may never result in any intellectual property
protection. The patents granted may not result in providing any competitive
advantages to us. In addition, our patents may be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, and we cannot guarantee that the patent laws will provide
effective legal or injunctive remedies to stop any infringements against our
technologies. Our competitors may develop or patent technologies that are
equivalent or superior to our proprietary technologies.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR
BUSINESS.
Our current corporate entity commenced operations in 1999 and has a limited
operating history upon which an evaluation of our business and prospects could
be based. We have limited financial results which may not be indicative of our
future performance. Our prospects have to be considered in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by growing companies in new and
rapidly developing markets, such as voice recognition software, media delivery
systems and electronic commerce. We have recently re-focused our business model
from a consumer-focused direct sales model to a business to business licensing
and revenue-sharing base.
4
As a result of our limited operating history and the rapidly changing nature of
the markets in which we compete, our quarterly and annual results are likely to
fluctuate from period to period. These fluctuations may be caused by a number of
factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are
not limited to, the following: Timing and manner of introduction of new products
and services and ability to enhance existing products and services;
- Ability to attract and retain new customers and satisfy existing customers'
demands;
- Demand for voice recognition Internet search software applications;
- Emergence and success of new and existing competition;
- Varying operating costs and capital expenditures related to the expansion of
our business operations and infrastructure, domestically and
internationally, including the hiring of new employees;
- Technical difficulties with our products and/or technology, system downtime,
system failures and/or power or Internet access interruptions;
- Changes in the mix of products and services that we sell or license to our
customers;
- Costs and effects related to the acquisition of businesses or technology and
related integration;
- Potential reduction in wireless carriers, which could lead to significant
delays in consummating revenue-bearing contracts;
- Limited financial resources and the potential inability to raise additional
capital to sustain our operations;
- Costs of litigation and intellectual property protection.
IF WE DO NOT SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, IT WILL HARM OUR
BUSINESS.
Our business and operating results would be harmed if we fail to develop
products and services that achieve market acceptance or that fail to generate
significant revenues to offset operating costs. Our management may not timely
and successfully identify, develop and market new product and service
opportunities. When we introduce our new products and services, they may not
attain market acceptance or contribute meaningfully to our revenues or
profitability.
Delays and cost overruns in developing our products could affect our ability to
respond to technological changes, evolving industry standards, competitive
developments or customer requirements. Our products may also contain undetected
errors that could cause increased development costs, loss of revenues, adverse
publicity, and reduced market acceptance of the products or lawsuits by
customers.
PATENT PROTECTION
We own exclusive rights to three United States patents on our software. We have
filed for international patent protection as well. These patents define the
primary features and unique procedures that comprise our products and solutions.
Our future success and ability to compete depends in part upon the proprietary
technology and trademarks, which we attempt to protect with a combination of
patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as with our
confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. These legal protections
afford only limited protection and are time-consuming and expensive to obtain
and/or maintain. Further, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third
parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.
Additionally, there can be no assurances that others will not develop market and
sell products substantially equivalent to our products or utilize technologies
similar to those used by us. Although we believe that our products do not
infringe on any third-party patents and our patents offer sufficient protection,
there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in litigation
involving patents or proprietary rights. Patent and proprietary rights
litigation entails substantial legal and other costs, and there can be no
assurance that we will have the necessary financial resources to defend or
prosecute our rights in connection with any litigation. Responding to, defending
or bringing claims related to our rights to our intellectual property may
require our management to redirect its resources to address these claims, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
5
FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
We will require and are in the process of negotiating additional funds to
finance our operations. The precise amount and timing of our funding needs
cannot be determined at this time and will largely depend upon a number of
factors, including the market demand for our products and our management of our
cash, accounts payable, inventory and other working capital items. There can be
no assurance that those funds will be available or on terms satisfactory to us.
Any inability to obtain needed funding on satisfactory terms may require us to
reduce planned capital expenditures, to scale back our product offerings or
other operations or to enter into financing agreements on terms which we would
not otherwise accept, and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company has been notified of potential claims
aggregating $311,000. Management believes that it has adequate defense for such
unsubstantiated claims. As of March 15, 2004, the Company has not devoted any
substantial resources to defend these unsubstantiated claims. The aggregate of
potential claims consists of the following: 1) an approximate $211,000.00 claim
by Genuity Inc. that One Voice is responsible for cancellation fees despite
Genuity's failure to deliver the agreed upon service. No lawsuit has been filed
in this matter and no communication from Genuity has been received for
approximately two years; 2) the remaining claims center primarily around
cancellation charges related to trade show events. The only claim that has
resulted in a lawsuit is for $38,000.00. Counsel for the plaintiff in that
matter has not appeared at court hearings and has not answered discovery.
Counsel for One Voice is inquiring whether the matter is still being pursued. No
other potential claim has resulted in a lawsuit.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION FOR MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment
of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and
fair value computation using Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the
trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows,
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however,
we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items,
are reasonable.

Discussion of the year ended December 31, 2003 compared with the year ended
December 31, 2002.
Net revenues totaled $50,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Net revenues
of $387,771 were earned for the year ended December 31, 2002. The recognition of
revenues for the year ended 2003 resulted primarily from work performed in the
DVD/Multimedia sector.

Operating expenses decreased to $5,975,972 for the year ended December 31, 2003
from $6,896,208 for the same period in 2002. The decrease in operating expenses
over the same year in 2002 was a direct result of a decrease of all major
expense categories for the period as compared to the year prior. Salary and wage
expense was $1,195,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to
approximately $1,445,000 for the same period in 2002. The decrease in 2003 as
compared to 2002 arose primarily from the decreased labor force, which we have
restructured to accommodate our new direction into the telecom, telematics and
TV/Internet appliance initiatives. Advertising and promotion expense totaled
$11,779 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $25,000 for the same
period in 2002. Advertising and promotion expense reduction resulted from the
company discontinuing direct to consumer marketing campaigns and focusing on
other distribution channels. Legal and consulting expenses decreased to
approximately $314,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 from approximately
$470,000 for the same period in 2002. Depreciation and amortization expenses
decreased to approximately $683,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 from
approximately $848,000 for the same period in the prior year. Amortization and
Depreciation expenses consisted of patent and trademarks, computer equipment,
consultant fees, and tradeshow booth. Interest expense increased to
approximately $2,301,000 in 2003, as compared to approximately $2,074,000 in
2002, primarily due to non-cash debt issue cost from warrants granted, shares
issued and beneficial conversion feature.
We had a net loss of $5,931,972 or basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.09
for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to a net loss of $6,568,922 or
basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.21 for the same period in 2002.

We incurred a net loss of $5,931,972 during the year ended December 31, 2003 and
had an accumulated deficit of $32,459,008. Our losses through December 2003
included interest expense, amortization of software licensing agreements and
development costs and operational and promotional expenses. Sales of our
convertible debt securities have allowed us to maintain a positive cash flow

generated cash flows of $50,000 from revenue.

warrants of $327,000 using Black Scholes option pricing model, cash cost of
$60,000 and the beneficial conversion feature of approximately $363,000 will be
amortized over the life of the debt using the interest method. As of December

On December 12, 2003, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement
with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. for the issuance of a 7.75% convertible
debenture in the aggregate amount of $250,000. The note bears interest at 7.75%,
matures on December 12, 2005, and is convertible into the Company's common
stock, at the holders' option. The number of common shares this debenture may be
converted is equal to the dollar amount of the debenture being converted
multiplied by eleven, minus the product of the Conversion Price multiplied by
ten times the dollar amount of the Debenture being converted, and the entire
forgoing result shall be divided by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price
is defined as the lower of (i) $0.25 or (ii) 80% of the average of the three
lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior
to Holder's election to convert. Beginning in the first full calendar month
after the Registration Statement is declared effective, Holder shall convert at
least 7%, but no more than 15% (such 15% maximum amount to be cumulative from
the deadline), of the face value of the debenture per calendar month into common
shares of the company, provided that the common shares are available, registered
and freely tradable. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,500,000
warrants to the investors. The warrants are exercisable until December 12, 2006
at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. Holder will exercise at least 7%, but no
more than 15% (such 15% maximum amount to be cumulative from the Deadline), of
the Warrants per calendar month, provided that the Common Shares are available,
registered and freely tradable. The 15% monthly maximum amount shall not be
applicable if the Current Market Price of the Common Stock at anytime during the
11
applicable month is higher than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on
the Closing Date. In the event Holder does not exercise at least 7% of the
Warrants in any particular calendar month, Holder shall not be entitled to
collect interest on the Debenture for that month. The fair value of the warrants
of $18,000 using Black Scholes option pricing model and the beneficial
conversion feature of approximately $219,000 will be amortized as interest
expense over the life of the debt using the interest method. Upon conversion of
the debt mentioned here, any unamortized debt issue costs will be charged to
expense. As of December 31, 2003 the principal balance amounted to $250,000 and
the unamortized debt discount amounted to approximately $243,000. Subsequent to
December 31, 2003, La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. converted $25,500 of principal
note into 11,000,000 common shares at an average conversion price of $0.0023 and
exercised 255,000 warrants into 255,000 common shares at an average exercise
price of $1.00.
Notes payable had a face value of $655,000 at December 31, 2003. Notes payable
had a face value of $1,235,000 at December 31, 2002.
We anticipate maintaining a cash balance through our financial partner that will
sustain operations up to December 2004. We continue to rely heavily on our
current method of convertible debt and equity funding, which have financed us
since 2001, until we are operationally breakeven. The losses through the year
ended December 31, 2003 were due to minimal revenue and our operating expenses,
with the majority of expenses in the areas of: salaries, legal fees, consulting
fees, as well as amortization expense relating to software development, debt
issue costs and licensing costs. We face considerable risk in completing each of
our business plan steps, including, but not limited to: a lack of funding or
available credit to continue development and undertake product rollout;
potential cost overruns; a lack of interest in its solutions in the market on
the part of wireless carriers or other customers; potential reduction in
wireless carriers which could lead to significant delays in consummating revenue
bearing contracts; and/or a shortfall of funding due to an inability to raise
capital in the securities market. Since further funding is required, and if none
is received, we would be forced to rely on our existing cash in the bank or
secure short-term loans. This may hinder our ability to complete our product
development until such time as necessary funds could be raised. In such a
restricted cash flow scenario, we would delay all cash intensive activities
including certain product development and strategic initiatives described above.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the following note holders converted principal

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
One Voice Technologies, Inc.
San Diego, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of One Voice Technologies, Inc.,
a Nevada Corporation (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2003,
and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and for the period
since inception on January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2003. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. 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 One Voice Technologies, Inc. as
of December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period since inception on
January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses
since inception of $32,459,008 and used cash for operations of $2,559,083 during
the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company also has a working capital deficit
of $681,622 and stockholders' deficit of $116,707 as of December 31, 2003. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also discussed in
Note 1. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ONE VOICE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION:
One Voice Technologies, Inc. (formerly Conversational Systems, Inc.) was
incorporated under the laws of the State of California on April 8, 1991. The
Company commenced operations in 1999.
GOING CONCERN:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company has incurred significant losses since inception of $32,459,008 and used
cash for operations of $2,259,083 during the year ended December 31, 2003. The
Company also has a working capital deficit of $681,622 and a stockholders'
deficit of $116,707 as of December 31, 2003. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern unless the
Company enters into a significant revenue-bearing contract. Management is
currently seeking additional equity or debt financing. Additionally, management
is currently pursuing revenue-bearing contracts utilizing various applications
of its technology including wireless technology. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.
BUSINESS ACTIVITY:
The Company develops and markets computer software using Intelligent Voice
Interactive Technology (IVIT(TM)) to website owners in the United States and
other countries.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE:
The Company is a development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage
Enterprises." The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts
to establish a new business, which is unrelated to the business of Dead On, and
its planned principal operations have not yet commenced. All losses accumulated
since inception of One Voice Technologies, Inc. have been considered as part of
the Company's development stage activities.
FAIR VALUE:
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of accounts payable and
notes payable to individual and related parties as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments." The carrying value of the financial instruments, none of
which are held for trading purposes, approximates their fair value due to the
short-term nature of these instruments.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which
are not securing any corporate obligations.
Concentration -
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts.

ONE VOICE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenues when earned in the period in which the service
is provided. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with
all applicable accounting regulations, including American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9. Any revenues from
software arrangements with multiple elements are allocated to each element of
the arrangement based on the relative fair values using specific objective
evidence as defined in the SOPs. If no such objective evidence exists, revenues
from the arrangements are not recognized until the entire arrangement is
completed and accepted by the customer. Once the amount of the revenue for each
element is determined, the Company recognizes revenues as each element is
completed and accepted by the customer. For arrangements that require
significant production, modification or customization of software, the entire
arrangement is accounted for by the percentage of completion method, in
conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 45 and SOP 81-1.
Service and license fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the
agreement. Revenues from the sale of products will be recognized upon shipment
of the product.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS:
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002, advertising and promotion costs were $11,779 and
$24,764 respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are valued at cost. Depreciation is being provided by use
of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
ranging from three to seven years.
DEBT WITH STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS:
The proceeds received from debt issued with stock purchase warrants is allocated
between the debt and the warrants, based upon the relative fair values of the
two securities, and the balance of the proceeds is accounted for as additional
paid-in capital. The resulting debt discount is amortized to expense over the
term of the debt instrument, using the interest method. In the event of
settlement of such debt in advance of the maturity date, an expense is
recognized based upon the difference between the then carrying amount (i.e.,
face amount less unamortized discount) and amount of payment.
DEBT WITH BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURE:
In January 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task
Force issued EITF 00-27 effective for convertible debt instruments issued after
November 16, 2000. This pronouncement requires the use of the intrinsic value
method for recognition of the detachable and embedded equity features included
with indebtedness, and requires amortization of the amount associated with the
convertibility feature over the life of the debt instrument rather than the
period for which the instrument first becomes convertible. The discount
attributable to the value of the warrants as calculated using the Black-Scholes
pricing model and the value of the equity conversion features exceeded the face
value of the convertible notes. As a result, the notes were mostly fully
discounted and the discount was recorded as additional paid-in capital. The
discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of
the debt. Upon conversion of the debt, any unamortized debt issue costs will be
charged to expense.

ONE VOICE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS:
The Company accounts for their software development costs in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," ("SFAS No. 86").
SFAS No. 86 requires the Company to capitalize the direct costs and allocate
overhead associated with the development of software products. Initial costs are
charged to operations as research prior to the development of a detailed program
design or a working model. Costs incurred subsequent to the product release, and
research and development performed under contract are charged to operations.
Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated product life of four years on
the straight-line basis. The Company evaluates for impairment losses annually or
when economic circumstances necessitate. The Company will recognize an
impairment loss if the amount by which the unamortized capitalized cost of a
computer software product exceeds the net realizable value of that asset. No
impairment losses recognized during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
Amortization expense totaled $407,481 and $390,967 for the years ended December
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Accumulated amortization as of December 31,
2003 amounted to $1,259,664.
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS:
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss only, and accordingly, a Statement of
Comprehensive Loss is not presented.
TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS:
The Company's trademark costs consist of legal fees paid in connection with
trademarks. The Company amortizes trademarks using the straight-line method over
the period of estimated benefit, generally four years. Amortization expense
charged for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 totaled $59,017 and
$57,977, respectively. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2003 amounted
to $195,064.
The Company's patent costs consist of legal fees paid in connection with patents
pending. The Company will amortize patents using the straight-line method over
the period of estimated benefit, generally five years. Amortization expense
charged for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 totaled $18,971 and
$12,620, respectively. There was no amortization expense charged for the year
ended December 31, 2001. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2003
amounted to $31,591.
In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company periodically evaluates whether events
or circumstances have occurred that may affect the estimated useful life or the
recoverability of the remaining balance of the patent and trademarks. Impairment
of the assets is triggered when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows do
not exceed the carrying amount of the intangible asset. If the events or
circumstances indicate that the remaining balance of the assets may be
permanently impaired, such potential impairment will be measured based upon the
difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the fair value of such
assets, determined using the estimated future discounted cash flows generated.
NET LOSS PER SHARE:
The Company uses SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" for calculating the basic
and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic
loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the outstanding number of potentially dilutive
common stock equivalents, consisting of 1,900,500 and 3,173,625 stock options,
16,099,643 and 3,462,297 stock warrants, and convertible debentures estimated at
96,000,000 Shares (2003) and 6,175,000 (2002), using an assumed weighted
conversion rate of $0.005 have not been included in the computation of diluted
weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as their effect would be
anti-dilutive for December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED:
INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary
differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.
INCENTIVE AND STOCK NONQUALIFIED OPTION PLAN:
Pro forma information regarding the effect on operations as required by SFAS 123
and SFAS 148, has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement. Pro forma
information, using the Black-Scholes method at the date of grant, is based on
the following assumptions:
Expected life 2.7 Years
Risk-free interest rate 5.0%
Dividend yield -
Volatility 100%
This option valuation model requires input of highly subjective assumptions.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the option's vesting period. No expense was
recognized under APB 25. The Company's pro forma information is as follows:

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" (an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin
(ARB) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements). Interpretation 46 addresses
consolidation by business enterprises of entities to which the usual condition
of consolidation described in ARB-51 does not apply. The Interpretation changes
the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated
financial statements. The general requirement to consolidate under ARB-51 is
based on the presumption that an enterprise's financial statements should
include all of the entities in which it has a controlling financial interest
(i.e., majority voting interest). Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest
entity to be consolidated by a company that does not have a majority voting
interest, but nevertheless, is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from
the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of
the entity's residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable
interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED:
In December 2003 the FASB concluded to revise certain elements of FIN 46,
primarily to clarify the required accounting for interests in variable interest
entities. FIN-46R replaces FIN-46, that was issued in January 2003. FIN-46R
exempts certain entities from its requirements and provides for special
effective dates for entities that have fully or partially applied FIN-46 as of
December 24, 2003. In certain situations, entities have the option of applying
or continuing to apply FIN-46 for a short period of time before applying
FIN-46R. In general, for all entities that were previously considered special
purpose entities, FIN 46 should be applied in periods ending after December 15,
2003. Otherwise, FIN 46 is to be applied for registrants who file under
Regulation SX in periods ending after March 15, 2004, and for registrants who
file under Regulation SB, in periods ending after December 15, 2004. The Company
does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and
clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under
Statement 133. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30,
2003. The guidance should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect
the adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or stockholders' equity.
In May 2003, the FASB Issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
clarifies the accounting treatment for certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those
instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position.
SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective for public entities at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company
does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on its
financial position, results of operations or stockholders' equity.

rate in excess of 100% on the aggregate amount), mature on June 20, 2005, and
are convertible into the Company's common stock, at the holders' option, at the
lower of (i) $0.1023 or (ii) 80% of the average of the five lowest closing bid
prices for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days before

part, before June 30, 2005 without the consent of the holder. The full principal
amount of the convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of
convertible notes. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 291,670
warrants to the investors. The warrants are exercisable until June 30, 2008 at a
purchase price of $.1116 per share. Net proceeds amounted to approximately
$450,000, net of debt issue cash cost of $62,000. The fair value of the warrants
of $14,000 using Black Scholes option pricing model and the beneficial
conversion feature of approximately $193,000 was amortized as interest expense
over the life of the debt using the interest method. Upon conversion of the
debt, any unamortized debt issue costs was charges to interest expense.
As of December 31, 2003, Alpha Capital Aktiengesellschaft and Bristol

amount), mature on September 17, 2004, and are convertible into the Company's
common stock, at the holders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.0474 or (ii) 78% of

(10) INCENTIVE AND NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN, CONTINUED
Two types of options may be granted under the Plan: (1) Incentive Stock Options
(also known as Qualified Stock Options) which may only be issued to employees of
the Company and whereby the exercise price of the option is not less than the
fair market value of the common stock on the date it was reserved for issuance
under the Plan; and (2) Nonstatutory Stock Options which may be issued to either
employees or consultants of the Company and whereby the exercise price of the
option is greater than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the
date it was reserved for issuance under the plan. Grants of options may be made
to employees and consultants without regard to any performance measures. All
options issued pursuant to the Plan vest at a rate of at least 20% per year over
a 5-year period from the date of the grant or sooner if approved by the Board of
Directors. All options issued pursuant to the Plan are nontransferable and
subject to forfeiture.
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," requires use of option valuation models. Under APB 25, because
the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized. The Company follows SFAS No. 123 for stock options granted to
non-employees and records a consulting expense equal to the fair value of the
options at the date of grant.
During 2000, the Company granted 53,725 stock options exercisable at an average
exercise price of $10.22 to consultants for professional services provided to
the Company. The options expire at various times through 2003. The options were
valued using the Black-Scholes method at the date of grant.
During 2001, the Company granted 250,000 stock options exercisable at an
exercise price of $0.65 to a consultant for professional services provided and
to be provided to the Company. The options expire at various times through 2004.
The options were valued using the Black-Scholes method at the date of grant.
Compensation expense, recognized over the vesting period, to consultants
pursuant to SFAS No. 123 amounted to $107,276 and $140,263 for the years ended
December 31,2002 and 2001, respectively.
During 2002, the Company granted 1,095,000 stock options exercisable at an
average exercise price of $0.14 to employees of the Company. The options expire
at various times through 2005.
During 2003, the Company granted 275,000 stock options exercisable at an
exercise price of $0.11 to employees of the Company, of which, 250,000 options
were terminated in 2003.

the communities in which we work a better place to live. Each of us is
responsible for compliance with environmental, health and safety laws
and regulations.
15
4. KEEP ACCURATE AND COMPLETE RECORDS
We must maintain accurate and complete Company records. Transactions
between the Company and outside individuals and organizations must be
promptly and accurately entered in our books in accordance with
generally accepted accounting practices and principles. No one should
rationalize or even consider misrepresenting facts or falsifying
records. It will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary
action.
5. OBEY THE LAW
We will conduct our business in accordance with all applicable laws and
regulations. Compliance with the law does not comprise our entire
ethical responsibility. Rather, it is a minimum, absolutely essential
condition for performance of our duties. In conducting business, we
shall:
A. STRICTLY ADHERE TO ALL ANTITRUST LAWS
Officer, directors and employees must strictly adhere to all antitrust
laws. Such laws exist in the United States and in many other countries
where the Company may conduct business. These laws prohibit practices
in restraint of trade such as price fixing and boycotting suppliers or
customers. They also bar pricing intended to run a competitor out of
business; disparaging, misrepresenting, or harassing a competitor;
stealing trade secrets; bribery; and kickbacks.
B. STRICTLY COMPLY WITH ALL SECURITIES LAWS
In our role as a publicly owned company, we must always be alert to and
comply with the security laws and regulations of the United States and
other countries.
I. DO NOT ENGAGE IN SPECULATIVE OR INSIDER TRADING
Federal law and Company policy prohibits officers, directors and employees,
directly or indirectly through their families or others, from purchasing or
selling company stock while in the possession of material, non-public
information concerning the Company. This same prohibition applies to trading in
the stock of other publicly held companies on the basis of material, non-public
information. To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, Company policy also
prohibits officers, directors and employees from trading options on the open
market in Company stock under any circumstances.
Material, non-public information is any information that could reasonably be
expected to affect the price of a stock. If an officer, director or employee is
considering buying or selling a stock because of inside information they
possess, they should assume that such information is material. It is also
important for the officer, director or employee to keep in mind that if any
trade they make becomes the subject of an investigation by the government, the
trade will be viewed after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight. Consequently,
officers, directors and employees should always carefully consider how their
trades would look from this perspective.
Two simple rules can help protect you in this area: (1) Do not use non-public
information for personal gain. (2) Do not pass along such information to someone
else who has no need to know.
This guidance also applies to the securities of other companies for which you
receive information in the course of your employment at The Company.
II. BE TIMELY AND ACCURATE IN ALL PUBLIC REPORTS
As a public company, the Company must be fair and accurate in all reports filed
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors
and management of The Company are responsible for ensuring that all reports are
filed in a timely manner and that they fairly present the financial condition
and operating results of the Company.
Securities laws are vigorously enforced. Violations may result in severe
penalties including forced sales of parts of the business and significant fines
against the Company. There may also be sanctions against individual employees
including substantial fines and prison sentences.
16
The principal executive officer and principal financial Officer will certify to
the accuracy of reports filed with the SEC in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. Officers and Directors who knowingly or willingly make false
certifications may be subject to criminal penalties or sanctions including fines
and imprisonment.
6. AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Our officers, directors and employees have an obligation to give their complete
loyalty to the best interests of the Company. They should avoid any action that
may involve, or may appear to involve, a conflict of interest with the Company.
Officers, directors and employees should not have any financial or other
business relationships with suppliers, customers or competitors that might
impair, or even appear to impair, the independence of any judgment they may need
to make on behalf of the Company.
HERE ARE SOME WAYS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST COULD ARISE:
o Employment by a competitor, or potential competitor, regardless of the
nature of the employment, while employed by the Company.
o Acceptance of gifts, payment, or services from those seeking to do business
with the Company.
o Placement of business with a firm owned or controlled by an officer,
director or employee or his/her family.
o Ownership of, or substantial interest in, a company that is a competitor,
client or supplier.
o Acting as a consultant to a the Company customer, client or supplier.
o Seeking the services or advice of an accountant or attorney who has provided
services to the Company.
Officers, directors and employees are under a continuing obligation to disclose
any situation that presents the possibility of a conflict or disparity of
interest between the officer, director or employee and the Company. Disclosure
of any potential conflict is the key to remaining in full compliance with this
policy.
7. COMPETE ETHICALLY AND FAIRLY FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
We must comply with the laws and regulations that pertain to the acquisition of
goods and services. We will compete fairly and ethically for all business
opportunities. In circumstances where there is reason to believe that the
release or receipt of non-public information is unauthorized, do not attempt to
obtain and do not accept such information from any source.
If you are involved in Company transactions, you must be certain that all
statements, communications, and representations are accurate and truthful.
8. AVOID ILLEGAL AND QUESTIONABLE GIFTS OR FAVORS
The sale and marketing of our products and services should always be free from
even the perception that favorable treatment was sought, received, or given in
exchange for the furnishing or receipt of business courtesies. Officers,
directors and employees of the Company will neither give nor accept business
courtesies that constitute, or could be reasonably perceived as constituting,
unfair business inducements or that would violate law, regulation or policies of
the Company, or could cause embarrassment to or reflect negatively on the
Company's reputation.
9. MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF CONSULTANTS, AGENTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES
Business integrity is a key standard for the selection and retention of those
who represent the Company. Agents, representatives and consultants must certify
their willingness to comply with the Company's policies and procedures and must
never be retained to circumvent our values and principles. Paying bribes or
kickbacks, engaging in industrial espionage, obtaining the proprietary data of a
third party without authority, or gaining inside information or influence are
just a few examples of what could give us an unfair competitive advantage and
could result in violations of law.
10. PROTECT PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
Proprietary Company information may not be disclosed to anyone without proper
authorization. Keep proprietary documents protected and secure. In the course of
normal business activities, suppliers, customers and competitors may sometimes
divulge to you information that is proprietary to their business. Respect these
confidences.
17
11. OBTAIN AND USE COMPANY ASSETS WISELY
Personal use of Company property must always be in accordance with corporate
policy. Proper use of Company property, information resources, material,
facilities and equipment is your responsibility. Use and maintain these assets
with the utmost care and respect, guarding against waste and abuse, and never
borrow or remove Company property without management's permission.
12. FOLLOW THE LAW AND USE COMMON SENSE IN POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND
ACTIVITIES
The Company encourages its employees to become involved in civic affairs and to
participate in the political process. Employees must understand, however, that
their involvement and participation must be on an individual basis, on their own
time and at their own expense. In the United States, federal law prohibits
corporations from donating corporate funds, goods, or services, directly or
indirectly, to candidates for federal offices -- this includes employees' work
time. Local and state laws also govern political contributions and activities as
they apply to their respective jurisdictions.
13. BOARD COMMITTEES.
The Company shall establish an Audit Committee empowered to enforce this CODE OF
ETHICS. The Audit Committee will report to the Board of Directors at least once
each year regarding the general effectiveness of the Company's CODE OF ETHICS,
the Company's controls and reporting procedures and the Company's business
conduct.
The company does have an independent board member who is represented to be a
financial expert as defined by the SEC.
14. DISCIPLINARY MEASURES.
The Company shall consistently enforce its CODE OF ETHICS and Business Conduct
through appropriate means of discipline. Violations of the Code shall be
promptly reported to the Audit Committee. Pursuant to procedures adopted by it,
the Audit Committee shall determine whether violations of the Code have occurred
and, if so, shall determine the disciplinary measures to be taken against any
employee or agent of the Company who has so violated the Code.
The disciplinary measures, which may be invoked at the discretion of the Audit
Committee, include, but are not limited to, counseling, oral or written
reprimands, warnings, probation or suspension without pay, demotions, reductions
in salary, termination of employment and restitution.
Persons subject to disciplinary measures shall include, in addition to the
violator, others involved in the wrongdoing such as (i) persons who fail to use
reasonable care to detect a violation, (ii) persons who if requested to divulge
information withhold material information regarding a violation, and (iii)
supervisors who approve or condone the violations or attempt to retaliate
against employees or agents for reporting violations or violators.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
During the year ended December 31, 2003, no director, officer or beneficial
owner of more than 10 percent of any class of equity securities of the Company
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act failed to file on a timely
basis, as disclosed in Form 3 filings, reports required by Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act during the year ended December 31, 2003. The foregoing is based
solely upon a review of Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5 filings furnished to the
Company during the year ended December 31, 2003, certain written representations
and shareholders who, to the best of our knowledge, hold 10 percent or more of
our shares.

commencing in July 1999. The Weber Employment Agreement provides that, in
consideration for Mr. Weber's services, he is to be paid an annual salary of
$180,000. The salary was changed to $252,000 annually in April 2000. The last
bonus earned was paid in 2000.
PERSONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT
We entered into a three-year personal service agreement with KJN Management
Ltd., commencing in July 1999 for the services of its CFO, Rahoul Sharan, which
provided for the payment of a fee by the Company to KJN Management Ltd. of
$120,000 per year. The service fee was increased to $180,000 per year in 2000

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Non-employee directors receive $1,000 for each Board of Directors meeting
attended. The Company pays all out-of-pocket expenses of attendance.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Our Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan) authorizes us to
grant to our directors, employees, consultants and advisors both incentive and
non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of our Common Stock. As of
December 31, 2001, our Board of Directors had reserved 3,000,000 shares for
issuance under the 1999 Plan, of which 1,900,500 shares were subject to
outstanding options and 1,099,500 shares remained available for future grants.
Our Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board (the Plan
Administrator) administers the 1999 Plan. The Plan Administrator selects the
recipients to whom options are granted and determines the number of shares to be
awarded. Options granted under the 1999 Plan are exercisable at a price
determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of the grant, but in no event
will the option price for any incentive stock option be lower than the fair
market value for our Common Stock on the date of the grant. Options become
exercisable at such times and in such installments as the Plan Administrator
provides in the terms of each individual option agreement. In general, the Plan
Administrator is given broad discretion to issue options and to accept a wide
variety of consideration (including shares of our Common Stock and promissory
notes) in payment for the exercise price of options. The 1999 Plan was
authorized by the Board of Directors and stockholders.
