DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS We are a full-service contract electronics manufacturer servicing OEMs in the following industries: communications, networking, peripherals, gaming, law enforcement, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical and semi-conductor. We conduct our operations through two main divisions: circuit board manufacturing and assembly and Ethernet card design and manufacture. Industry Background The contract electronics manufacturing industry specializes in providing the program management, technical and administrative support and manufacturing expertise required to take an electronic product from the early design and prototype stages through volume production and distribution. The goal is to provide a quality product, delivered on time and at the lowest cost, to the OEM. This full range of services gives the OEM an opportunity to avoid large capital investments in plant, inventory, equipment and staffing and to concentrate instead on innovation, design and marketing. By using our contract electronics manufacturing services, our customers have the ability to improve the return on their investment with greater flexibility in responding to market demands and exploiting new market opportunities. We believe two important trends have developed in the contract electronics manufacturing industry. First, we believe OEMs increasingly require contract manufacturers to provide complete turnkey manufacturing and material handling services, rather than working on a consignment basis where the OEM supplies all materials and the contract manufacturer supplies only labor. Turnkey contracts involve design, manufacturing and engineering support, the procurement of all materials, and sophisticated in-circuit and functional testing and distribution. The manufacturing partnership between OEMs and contract manufacturers involves an increased use of "just-in-time" inventory management techniques that minimize the OEM's investment in component inventories, personnel and related facilities, thereby reducing costs. We believe a second trend in the industry has been the increasing shift from pin-through-hole, or PTH, to surface mount technology, or SMT, interconnection technologies. Surface mount and pin-through-hole printed circuit board assemblies are printed circuit boards on which various electronic components, such as integrated circuits, capacitors, microprocessors and resistors are mounted. These assemblies are key functional elements of many types of electronic products. PTH technology involves the attachment of electronic components to printed circuit boards with leads or pins that are inserted into pre-drilled holes in the boards. The pins are then soldered to the electronic circuits. The drive for increasingly greater functional density has resulted in the emergence of SMT, which eliminates the need for holes and allows components to be placed on both sides of a printed circuit. SMT requires expensive, highly automated assembly equipment and significantly more operational expertise than PTH technology. We believe the shift to SMT from PTH technology has increased the use of contract manufacturers by OEMs seeking to avoid the significant capital investment required for development and maintenance of SMT expertise. Electronics Assembly and Manufacture Approximately 80% of our revenues are generated by our electronics assembly activities, which consist primarily of the placement and attachment of electronic and mechanical components on printed circuit boards and flexible (i.e., bendable) cables. We also assemble higher-level sub-systems and systems incorporating printed circuit boards and complex electromechanical components that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy, in some cases manufacturing and packaging products for shipment directly to our customers' distributors. In addition, we provide other manufacturing services, including refurbishment and remanufacturing. We manufacture on a turnkey basis, directly procuring any of the components necessary for production where the OEM customer does not supply all of the components that are required for assembly. We also provide design and new product introduction services, just-in-time delivery on low to medium volume turnkey and consignment projects and projects that require more value-added services, and price-sensitive, high-volume production. Our goal is to offer customers significant competitive advantages that can be obtained from manufacturing outsourcing, such as access to advanced manufacturing technologies, shortened product time-to-market, reduced cost of production, more effective asset utilization, improved inventory management and increased purchasing power. Ethernet Technology Through our subsidiary, Racore Technology Corporation, we design, manufacture, and distribute Ethernet cards. These components are used to connect computers through fiber optic networks. In addition, we produce private label, custom designed networking products and technologies on an OEM basis. Our products serve major industrial, financial, and telecommunications companies worldwide. We market our products through an international network of distributors, value added resellers, and systems integrators who sell, install, and support our entire product catalogue. Additionally, we have established key business alliances with major multinational companies in the computing and data communications industries for which we produce private label, custom designed networking products and technologies on an OEM basis. These alliances generally require that Racore either develop custom products or adapt existing Racore products to become part of the OEM customer's product line. Under a typical contract, Racore provides a product with the customer's logo, packaging, documentation, and custom software and drivers to allow the product to appear unique and proprietary to the OEM customer. Contract terms generally provide for a non-recurring engineering charge for the development and customization charges, together with a contractual commitment for a specific quantity of product over a given term. Market and Business Strategy Our goal is to benefit from the increased market acceptance of, and reliance upon, the use of manufacturing specialists by many electronics OEMs. It is estimated by the IPC--Association Connecting Electronics Industries that the United States electronics manufacturing services industry market increased from $22.5 billion in 1998 to $34 billion in 2000. We believe the trend towards outsourcing manufacturing will continue. OEMs utilize manufacturing specialists for many reasons including the following: o To Reduce Time to Market. Due to intense competitive pressures in the electronics industry, OEMs are faced with increasingly shorter product life-cycles and, therefore, have a growing need to reduce the time required to bring a product to market. We believe OEMs can reduce their time to market by using a manufacturing specialist's manufacturing expertise and infrastructure. o To Reduce Investment. The investment required for internal manufacturing has increased significantly as electronic products have become more technologically advanced and are shipped in greater unit volumes. We believe use of manufacturing specialists allows OEMs to gain access to advanced manufacturing capabilities while substantially reducing their overall resource requirements. o To Focus Resources. Because the electronics industry is experiencing greater levels of competition and more rapid technological change, many OEMs are focusing their resources on activities and technologies which add the greatest value to their operations. By offering comprehensive electronics assembly and related manufacturing services, we believe manufacturing specialists allow OEMs to focus on their own core competencies such as product development and marketing. o To Access Leading Manufacturing Technology. Electronic products and electronics manufacturing technology have become increasingly sophisticated and complex, making it difficult for OEMs to maintain the necessary technological expertise to manufacture products internally. We believe OEMs are motivated to work with a manufacturing specialist to gain access to the specialist's expertise in interconnect, test and process technologies. o To Improve Inventory Management and Purchasing Power. Electronics industry OEMs are faced with increasing difficulties in planning, procuring and managing their inventories efficiently due to frequent design changes, short product life-cycles, large required investments in electronic components, component price fluctuations and the need to achieve economies of scale in materials procurement. OEMs can reduce production costs by using a manufacturing specialist's volume procurement capabilities. In addition, a manufacturing specialist's expertise in inventory management can provide better control over inventory levels and increase the OEM's return on assets. An important element of our strategy is to establish partnerships with major and emerging OEM leaders in diverse segments across the electronics industry. Due to the costs inherent in supporting customer relationships, we focus our efforts on customers with which the opportunity exists to develop long-term business partnerships. Our goal is to provide our customers with total manufacturing solutions for both new and more mature products, as well as across product generations. Another element of our strategy is to provide a complete range of manufacturing management and value-added services, including materials management, board design, concurrent engineering, assembly of complex printed circuit boards and other electronic assemblies, test engineering, software manufacturing, accessory packaging and post-manufacturing services. We believe that as manufacturing technologies become more complex and as product life cycles shorten, OEMs will increasingly contract for manufacturing on a turnkey basis as they seek to reduce their time to market and capital asset and inventory costs. We believe that the ability to manage and support large turnkey projects is a critical success factor and a significant barrier to entry for the market it serves. In addition, we believe that due to the difficulty and long lead-time required to change manufacturers, turnkey projects generally increase an OEM's dependence on its manufacturing specialist, which can result in a more stable customer base. Suppliers; Raw Materials Our sources of components for our electronics assembly business are either manufacturers or distributors of electronic components. These components include passive components, such as resisters, capacitors and diodes, and active components, such as integrated circuits and semi-conductors. Our suppliers include Siemens, Muriata-Erie, Texas Instruments, Fairchild, Harris and Motorola. Distributors from whom we obtain materials include Avnet, Future Electronics, Arrow Electronics, Digi-key and Force Electronics. Although we have experienced shortages of various components used in our assembly and manufacturing processes, we typically hedge against such shortages by using a variety of sources and, to the extent possible, by projecting our customer's needs. Research and Development During 1999 and 2000, we and our predecessor corporation, Circuit Technology Inc., spent approximately $366,245 and $217,395, respectively, on research and development of new products and services. The costs of that research and development were paid for by our customers. In addition, during the same periods, our subsidiary, Racore, spent approximately $323,962 and $248,049, respectively. None of Racore's expenses were paid for by its customers. We remain committed, particularly in the case of Racore, to continuing to develop and enhance our product line as part of our overall business strategy. Sales and Marketing Historically, we have had substantial recurring sales from existing customers, but we are now actively seeking out new customers to generate increased sales. We treat sales and marketing as an integrated process involving direct salespersons and project managers, as well as senior executives. We also use independent sales representatives in certain geographic areas. During the sale process, a customer provides us with specifications for the product it wants, and we develop a bid price for manufacturing a minimum quantity that includes manufacture engineering, parts, labor, testing, and shipping. If the bid is accepted, the customer is required to purchase the minimum quantity and additional product is sold through purchase orders issued under the original contract. Special engineering services are provided at either an hourly rate or at a fixed contract price for a specified task. Over 80% of our net sales during the year ended December 31, 2000, were derived from customers that were also customers during 1999. Although we are aggressively seeking to diversify our customer base, a small number of customers have typically been responsible for a significant portion of our net sales. During the year ended December 31, 2000, our largest customer, Osicom Technology and its successor, Entrada Networks, Inc., accounted for 30% of consolidated net sales. Andrew Corporation represented 30% and 48.8% of net sales in 1999 and 1998, respectively. No other individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our net sales in any of these years. We are currently involved in a breach of contract proceeding with Osicom Technology and its successor, Entrada Networks, which late in 2000 cancelled a significant portion of a large outstanding order with us. Backlog consists of contracts or purchase orders with delivery dates scheduled within the next twelve months. At December 31, 2000, our backlog was approximately $4 million. The backlog was approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 1999. Material Contracts and Relationships We generally use form agreements with standard industry terms as the basis for our contracts with our customers. The form agreements typically specify the general terms of our economic arrangement with the customer (number of units to be manufactured, price per unit and delivery schedule) and contain additional provisions that are generally accepted in the industry regarding payment terms, risk of loss and other matters. We also use a form agreement with our independent marketing representatives that features standard terms typically found in such agreements. Competition The electronic manufacturing services industry is large and diverse and is serviced by many companies, including several that have achieved significant market share. Because of our market's size and diversity, we do not typically compete for contracts with a discreet group of competitors. We compete with different companies depending on the type of service or geographic area. Certain of our competitors may have greater manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing resources. We also face competition from current and prospective customers that evaluate our capabilities against the merits of manufacturing products internally. We believe that the primary basis of competition in our targeted markets is manufacturing technology, quality, responsiveness, the provision of value-added services and price. To remain competitive, we must continue to provide technologically advanced manufacturing services, maintain quality levels, offer flexible delivery schedules, deliver finished products on a reliable basis and compete favorably on the basis of price. Regulation We are subject to typical federal, state and local regulations and laws governing the operations of manufacturing concerns, including environmental disposal, storage and discharge regulations and laws, employee safety laws and regulations and labor practices laws and regulations. We are not required under current laws and regulations to obtain or maintain any specialized or agency-specific licenses, permits, or authorizations to conduct our manufacturing services. We believe we are in substantial compliance with all relevant regulations applicable to our business and operations. Employees We employ 101 persons, five in administrative positions, 14 in engineering and design, 76 in clerical and manufacturing, and six in sales. Corporate Background We were incorporated in Nevada in 1987, under the name Vermillion Ventures, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring other operating corporate entities. On March 15, 1988, Vermillion issued 129,000,000 shares of common stock (as then constituted) to acquire all of the outstanding stock of BMC Incorporated. This entity was unsuccessful in its bingo satellite business and was dissolved. In May 2000, Vermillion effected a 3,000-to-1 reverse split of its common stock, reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares to 116,004. On July 1, 2000, we issued a total of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock (150,000,000 shares post-forward split), representing approximately 98.6% of our total issued and outstanding common stock following such issuance, to acquire, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, CirTran Corporation (Utah), substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit Technology, Inc., or Circuit. Of these shares, 800,000 (12,000,000 shares post-forward split) were issued to Cogent Capital Corporation, a Utah corporation that provided financial and other consulting services to us in connection with the above-described acquisition. Effective August 6, 2001, we effected a 1:15 forward split and stock distribution which increased the number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 10,420,067 to 156,301,005. We also increased our authorized capital from 500,000,000 to 750,000,000 shares. Our core business was commenced by Circuit in 1993 by our president, Iehab Hawatmeh. Circuit enjoyed increasing sales and growth in the subsequent five years, going from $2.0 million in sales in 1994 to $15.4 million in 1998, leading to the purchase of two additional SMT assembly lines in 1998 and the acquisition of Racore Computer Products, Inc. in 1997. During that period, Circuit hired additional management personnel to assist in managing its growth, and Circuit executed plans to expand its operations by acquiring a second manufacturing facility in Colorado. Circuit subsequently determined in early 1999, however, that certain large contracts that accounted for significant portions of our total revenues provided insufficient profit margins to sustain the growth and resulting increased overhead. Furthermore, internal accounting controls then in place failed to apprise management on a timely basis of our deteriorating financial position. During the last several years, we have experienced significant losses, including $3,768,905 in 1999, and $4,179,654 in 2000. We have also experienced increasing levels of debt. Our management has been addressing this situation by, among other things, re-directing our sales and manufacturing efforts to smaller contracts with higher profit margins and negotiating debt forbearance arrangements with many of our creditors. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As of December 31, 2000, our operating subsidiary, CirTran Corporation (Utah), had accrued liabilities in the amount of $1,316,645 for delinquent payroll taxes, including estimated interest and penalties of $95,604 and $111,004, respectively. Of this amount, approximately $120,000 is due the State of Utah. We have negotiated a payment schedule with respect to this amount, pursuant to which we are making 12 monthly payments of $10,863. Approximately $1,197,000 is owed to the Internal Revenue Service. We are not actively negotiating with the IRS with respect to this amount and, to date, neither we nor the IRS have made any repayment, compromise or settlement proposals concerning this amount. If we are not able to negotiate a repayment plan for the unpaid withholding taxes, the federal government could impose liens on and seize our assets, impose interest and penalties on the amounts due, impose penalties on the persons responsible for seeing to the payment of the taxes, and impose other civil and criminal penalties. Circuit Technology, Inc., is a defendant in an alleged breach of a facilities sublease agreement in Colorado. The management and their attorneys estimate liability between $0 and $2,500,000. The wide range is due to two rent calculation methods written in the master lease. CirTran filed a suit in an amount exceeding $500,000 for missing equipment. All parties are currently negotiating a settlement, however, no settlement has been reached. Circuit Technology, Inc., is also a defendant in numerous other legal actions resulting, primarily, from the nonpayment of vendors for goods and services received, all of which were assumed by CirTran. CirTran has negotiated settlements, as detailed below, and is currently negotiating settlements with these vendors. 1. Arrow Electronics, Inc. obtained a judgment against Circuit Technology, Inc., in the amount of $215,251, plus 8% interest as of March 17, 2000. In September 2000, CirTran settled this judgment in the amount of $199,678, plus 8% interest as of September 23, 2000. The terms of the settlement require CirTran to make monthly payments of $6,256 to Arrow Electronics until the settlement amount is paid in full. 2. Sager Electronics, another trade creditor, brought a claim against Circuit Technology, Inc., for unpaid goods and services in the amount of $97,259. In November 2000, CirTran settled this claim in the amount of $97,259, plus 8% interest. The terms of the settlement require CirTran to make monthly payments of $1,972 to Sager Electronics until the settlement amount is paid in full. 3. In January 2000, Future Electronics Corporation filed an action against Circuit Technology, Inc., in the amount of $646,284, and an affiliate, Iehab Hawatmeh. The claim was based on nonpayment of goods and services rendered by Future Electronics, and in November 2000, CirTran settled the claim in exchange for: i. The immediate payment of $83,000; ii. A promissory note consisting of the payment of $83,000 in February 2001 (which was made) and $83,000 in May 2001; iii. A second promissory note in the amount of $73,000, plus 6% interest as of November 3, 2000, requiring eighteen monthly installments in the amount of $1,460; iv. The issuance of 352,070 shares of CirTran restricted common stock; v. A lock up agreement whereby Iehab Hawatmeh, Raed Hawatmeh and Roger Kokozyan agree to not sell their shares of CirTran common stock until June 27, 2002; and vi. A participation right whereby Future Electronics is entitled to purchase its pro rata share of any subsequent offering of CirTran's equity securities, subject to certain limitations PART II ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview We provide a mixture of high and medium size volume turnkey manufacturing services using surface mount technology, ball-grid array assembly, pin-through-hole and custom injection molded cabling for leading electronics OEMs in the communications, networking, peripherals, gaming, law enforcement, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical, and semiconductor industries. Our services include pre-manufacturing, manufacturing and post-manufacturing services. Through our subsidiary, Racore Technology Corporation, we design and manufacture Ethernet technology products. Our goal is to offer customers the significant competitive advantages that can be obtained from manufacture outsourcing, such as access to advanced manufacturing technologies, shortened product time-to-market, reduced cost of production, more effective asset utilization, improved inventory management, and increased purchasing power. Results of Operations - Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 Sales and Cost of Sales Net Sales decreased 35.4% to $6,373,096 for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $9,860,489 for 1999. The decrease is substantially due to the loss of a major customer, Andrew Corporation, which accounted for approximately 30% of our net sales in 1999. Sales to Andrew Corporation in 1999 amounted to $3,314,104, whereas sales to the same customer in 2000 were only $29,250. In addition, in the last half of 2000, Entrada Networks, Inc., successor in interest to Osicom Technologies, a customer that generated approximately 30% of our total revenues for 2000, cancelled completion of a large order due to a downturn in Entrada's business. We are litigating the exact size of the order and the circumstances surrounding its cancellation, but we believe the gross amount of the order was approximately $3.8 million, of which $1.8 million was actually completed and shipped in 2000. A substantial portion of the remaining $2.0 million would have been recorded as sales in 2000. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $6,792,393, a 34.9% decrease as compared to $10,427,294 incurred during the prior year. Those costs as a percentage of net sales were 106.6% during 2000 as compared to 105.7% during 1999. We believe our high cost of sales was attributable to three main factors: (i) high-volume orders which produced low or negative margins; (ii) cancellation of the Entrada order, discussed above, in preparation for which we acquired a large amount of inventory; and (iii) significant write-offs for obsolete inventory resulting from inadequate inventory control. Our sales to Andrew Corporation in 1999 accounted for a large volume of sales through large orders averaging 35,000 pieces, but these orders resulted in very low or negative margins, which led to our negative gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1999. We have shifted our marketing effort to small and mid-sized customers that place orders of 100 to 5,000 pieces. We believe these small and mid-sized orders produce a higher gross profit, primarily because we are competing with other domestic manufacturers whose cost of sales is comparable to our own, whereas large orders force us to compete with off-shore manufacturers who typically enjoy significantly lower labor costs. Among other things, lack of adequate inventory management and control has negatively affected our gross margins. We have traditionally tracked inventory by customer rather than by like-inventory item, and, as a result, we often purchased new inventory to produce products for a new customer, when we likely may have had the necessary inventory on hand under a different customer name. This practice has led to a reserve for obsolescence and excess inventory, which for the year 2000 was $545,866, up from $489,903 in 1999, and has increased cost of sales. We are changing our method of managing and controlling our inventory so that we can identify and use existing inventory and thereby reduce our costs of sales. We have experienced improvement in this regard and believe that, if we are able to maintain and increase our levels of sales, we will be successful in generating sufficient gross profit to cover our selling, general and administrative expenses. The following charts present (i) comparisons of sales, cost of sales and gross profit generated by our two main areas of operations, i.e., electronics assembly and Ethernet technology, during 1999 and 2000; and (ii) comparisons during these two years for each division between sales generated by pre-existing customers and sales generated by new customers. ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- Year Sales Cost of Sales Gross Loss ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- Electronics 1999 $ 7,954,824 $ 8,504,509 $(549,685) Assembly ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- 2000 4,645,622 4,972,689 (327,067) ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- Ethernet 1999 1,905,665 2,008,968 (103,303) Technology ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- 2000 1,727,474 1,819,704 (92,230) ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- Year Total Pre-existing New Sales Customers Customers ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- Electronics 1999 $ 7,954,824 $ 6,392,977 $ 1,561,847 Assembly ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- 2000 4,645,622 4,317,668 327,954 ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- Ethernet 1999 1,905,665 1,488,264 417,401 Technology ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- 2000 1,727,474 787,649 939,825 ------------------ -------------- ------------------- ------------------ ---------------------- Inventory We use just-in-time manufacturing, which is a production technique that minimizes work-in-process inventory and manufacturing cycle time, while enabling us to deliver products to customers in the quantities and time frame required. This manufacturing technique requires us to maintain an inventory of component parts to meet customer orders. Inventory at December 31, 2000, was $1,755,786 as compared to $3,056,383 at December 31, 1999. The decrease of approximately 42.6% in inventory is attributable to our decreased sales in 2000 which reduced our need to replace inventory at the same level as in 1999, as well as an increase in our reserve for obsolete inventory. Work in-process as a component of inventory decreased from $1,015,925 at December 31, 1999 to $169,676 at December 31, 2000. Again, this decrease reflects our decreased sales in 2000, particularly at year-end. As discussed above, our management is currently taking steps to improve our inventory control and believes the amount of our inventory that may be considered obsolete or slow moving is properly reserved. General and Administrative Expenses During the year ended December 31, 2000, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,710,275, versus $2,594,430 for 1999, a 4.5% increase. Though our change in marketing strategy to small and medium sized clients allowed us to reduce staff, especially in the areas of mid-level management and assembly staff, and to implement other cost savings measures, we still experienced an increase in overall expenses that is primarily attributable to write-offs at fiscal year-end of approximately $508,000. Our management believes that a significant portion of our losses in 1999 are attributable to expenses related to opening and subsequently closing of Circuit's Colorado Springs facility. The Colorado Springs facility was opened in November of 1998, we decided in June 1999 to close the facility, and the closing process was completed in December of 1999. We decided to close the facility after we discovered, in early 1999, serious deficiencies in our cost accounting procedures and controls that had failed to apprise our management on a timely basis of our deteriorating financial position, significant losses and increasing debt. As a result of our decision to close the Colorado Springs facility, we recognized substantial plant closure expense in 2000, including accrual of rent, that diminished any benefits resulting from cost saving measures in 2000. As the majority of the closing expenses were incurred in prior periods, management expects we will realize the full benefit of these cost saving measures in 2001 and subsequent periods. This assumes, however, a satisfactory resolution of the lawsuit with the lessor of the Colorado facility, Sunborne XII, LLC. Interest expense for 2000 was $1,015,027 as compared to $764,486 for 1999, an increase of 33% and a reflection of our accrual of interest on nonremitted payroll taxes and our significant debt load that we were not able to adequately service in 2000. Other Income declined from $156,816 in 1999 to $945 in 2000. Due to previously undiscovered accounting errors, the figure for 2000 was adjusted from $71,599 to $945 in the process of restating our audited financial statements in the fall of 2001." As a result of the above factors, our overall net loss increased 10.9% to $4,179,654 for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $3,768,905 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our expenses are currently greater than our revenues. We have had a history of losses and our accumulated deficit was $10,147,408 at December 31, 2000. Our net operating loss for the year ending December 31, 2000 was $4,179,654, compared to $3,768,905 for the year ending December 31, 1999. Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $3,323,654 as of December 31, 1999 and $5,664,395 as of December 31, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2000 we recorded negative cash flows from operations of $140,961. Cash At December 31, 2000, we had $11,068 cash on hand, an increase of $10,568 from December 31, 1999. Net cash used in operating activities was $140,961 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. During 2000, net cash used in operations was primarily attributable to $4,179,654 in net losses from operations, partially offset by non-cash charges, an increase in accrued liabilities of $1,741,163 and a net decrease in accounts payable of $87,129. The non-cash charges include depreciation and amortization of $961,506, provision for doubtful trade accounts receivable of $78,978, and provision for inventory obsolescence of $55,963. Net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 consisted of equipment purchases of $12,770. Net cash provided by financing activities was $164,299 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Principal sources of cash were shareholder loans of $86,000, proceeds of $254,663 from long-term obligations, and proceeds of $946,100 from the private sale of 830 restricted shares of common stock of Circuit Technology, Inc. prior to its acquisition by us effective July 1, 2000. These shares, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, were subsequently exchanged into 627,238 (pre-forward-split) shares of our common stock, or 9,408,585 post-forward-split shares of our common stock. Principal uses of cash during 2000 consisted of $825,593 principal payments of long-term obligations and $129,706 payments on capital lease obligations. Accounts Receivable At December 31, 2000, we had receivables of $874,097, net of a reserve for doubtful accounts of $82,502, as compared to $973,351 at December 31, 1999, net of a reserve of $360,493. The reserve for doubtful accounts was significantly larger in 1999 because approximately $426,000 of the total receivables were over 90 days old. We subsequently wrote off approximately $351,000 of accounts receivable in 2000 as uncollectable, while at the same time increasing our efforts to improve the aging and quality of our current receivables. These efforts resulted in a significantly smaller reserve for doubtful accounts at the end of 2000. Accounts Payable Accounts payable were $1,561,752 at December 31, 2000 as compared to $2,366,187 at December 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily attributable to the issuance in 2000 of stock and notes in payment of, respectively, $324,284 and $393,022 of accounts payable. Liquidity and Financing Arrangements We sustained substantial losses from operations in 2000 and 1999. We had an accumulated deficit of $10,147,408 and a total stockholders' deficit of $4,326,953 at December 31, 2000. In addition, during 2000 and 1999, we have used, rather than provided, cash in our operations. Since December 1999, we have operated without a line of credit. Abacus Ventures, Inc. purchased our line of credit of $2,792,609, and this amount was converted into a note payable to Abacus bearing an interest rate of 10%. We have had, and are continuing to have, discussions with Abacus concerning their willingness to exchange the principal amount of the note and accrued interest for shares of our common stock, and while we believe that these negotiations may ultimately be successful, we can offer no assurance that it will agree to any such exchange of debt for equity or upon what terms such exchange would occur. During 2000, we were not in compliance with certain covenants relating to our long-term financing. We obtained waivers from the creditors in all cases except one, relating to a note for $85,000, in which our payments are in arrears. Some of our notes are collateralized by our assets. We successfully converted approximately $798,306 in trade payables in 2000 into (i) a cash payment of $83,000, (ii) notes payable of $393,022, and (iii) 352,070 shares of stock (5,281,050 shares of stock as constituted following our 1:15 forward stock split) valued at $324,284. We continue to work with vendors in an effort to convert other trade payables into long-term notes and common stock and to cure defaults with lenders with forbearance agreements that we are able to service. Despite our efforts to make our debt-load more serviceable, significant amounts of additional cash will be needed to reduce our debt and fund our losses until such time as we are able to become profitable. In conjunction with our efforts to improve our results of operations, discussed above, we are also actively seeking infusions of capital from investors and are seeking to replace our line of credit. It is unlikely that we will be able, in our current financial condition, to obtain additional debt financing; and if we did acquire more debt, we would have to devote additional cash flow to pay the debt and secure the debt with assets. We may therefore have to rely on equity financing to meet our anticipated capital needs. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining such capital. If we issue additional shares for debt and/or equity, this will serve to dilute the value of our common stock and existing shareholders' positions. Subsequent to our acquisition of Circuit in July 2000, we took steps to increase the marketability of our shares of common stock and to make an investment in our company by potential investors more attractive. There can be no assurance, however, that we will ultimately be successful in obtaining more debt and/or equity financing or that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short- or the long-term. If we fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due. That would raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Forward-looking statements All statements made in this prospectus, other than statements of historical fact, which address activities, actions, goals, prospects, or new developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as expansion and growth of operations and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. Any one or a combination of factors could materially affect our operations and financial condition. These factors include competitive pressures, success or failure of marketing programs, changes in pricing and availability of parts inventory, creditor actions, and conditions in the capital markets. Forward-looking statements made by us are based on knowledge of our business and the environment in which we currently operate. Because of the factors listed above, as well as other factors beyond our control, actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements. ITEM 7.

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT Directors and Officers The following table sets forth the names, ages, and positions with CirTran for each of the directors and officers. Name Age Positions (1) Since Iehab J. Hawatmeh 34 President, Secretary, Director of CirTran, and July 2000 President of CirTran's Operating Subsidiary, CirTran Corporation, a Utah Corporation Shaher Hawatmeh 35 Vice President and Treasurer of CirTran's July 2000 Operating Subsidiary, CirTran Corporation, a Utah Corporation All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualify. Officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The following is information on the business experience of each director and officer. Iehab J. Hawatmeh. Mr. Hawatmeh is now the president, secretary, and sole director of the Company. Mr. Hawatmeh served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Circuit Technology since 1993. In this position he was responsible for all operational, financial, marketing, and sales activities of Circuit Technology. He will continue to perform similar functions for CirTran. Shaher Hawatmeh. Mr. Hawatmeh served as the Vice President and Treasurer of Circuit Technology since 1993, and now serves as executive vice president and treasurer of CirTran's operating subsidiary. In these positions he is responsible for budget development, strategic planning, asset management, and marketing. Shaher Hawatmeh is the brother of Iehab J. Hawatmeh. Employment Agreements Iehab Hawatmeh entered into an employment agreement with Circuit in 1993 that was assigned to us as part of the reverse acquisition of Circuit in July 2000. This agreement, which is of indefinite term, originally provided provides for a base salary of $60,000 annually for Mr. Hawatmeh, subject to review and adjustment by the board of directors, plus a bonus of 2% of our net profits before taxes, payable quarterly, and any other bonus our board of directors may approve. The agreement also provides that, if Mr. Hawatmeh is terminated without cause, we are obligated to pay him, as a severance payment, an amount equal to five times his then-current annual base compensation, in one lump-sum payment or otherwise, as Mr. Hawatmeh may direct." Proceeding Involving Iehab and Shaher Hawatmeh Two of our directors and officers, Iehab Hawatmeh and Shaher Hawatmeh, are currently subject to a criminal proceeding in Third District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah that is unrelated to our business and operations. Messrs. Hawatmeh, along with their parents, were charged with assault and the aggravated kidnapping of their sister and daughter, Muna Hawatmeh, in October 1999. They posted bond, and at preliminary hearing, the magistrate declined to bind over the Hawatmehs on the charge of aggravated kidnapping. Though Iehab and Shaher Hawatmeh have asserted their innocence and believe that they will be acquitted, there can be no assurance that they will not be convicted.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS We lease our principal offices and manufacturing facility from I&R Properties LLC, a Utah limited liability company, at a monthly lease rate of $16,000 under a lease that has a current term expiring in November 2006. We have the option of renewing the lease for two additional 10-year terms. I & R Properties, LLC is owned and controlled by Iehab J. Hawatmeh, an officer, director and principal stockholder, Raed Hawatmeh, a principal stockholder and director, and Shaher Hawatmeh, an officer of CirTran Corporation (Utah), our operating subsidiary. As of December 31, 2000, Iehab Hawatmeh had loaned a total of $1,020,966 to us. The loan is a demand loan, bears interest at 10% per annum and is unsecured. In addition, as of December 31, 2000, we owed $1,020,966 to stockholders in notes payable, plus interest of $103,305, accrued at 10 percent per annum. In 1999, Circuit entered into an agreement with Cogent Capital Corp., or "Cogent," a financial consulting firm, whereby Cogent agreed to assist and provide consulting services to Circuit in connection with a possible merger or acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, we issued 800,000 (pre-forward split) restricted shares (12,000,000 post-forward split shares) of our common stock to Cogent in July 2000 in connection with our acquisition of the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit. The principal of Cogent was appointed a director of Circuit after entering into the financial consulting agreement and resigned as a director prior to the acquisition of Circuit by Vermillion Ventures, Inc. on July 1, 2000."

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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CirTran Corporation and Subsidiary, as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, has suffered losses from operations and has negative working capital that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note B. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As discussed in Note Q to the financial statements, the 2000 financial statements have been restated to correct a previously reported overstatement of inventory and understatement of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

CirTran Corporation and Subsidiary NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2000 and 1999 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows. 1. Business activity Effective July 1, 2000, all of the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit Technology Corporation (Circuit) were acquired by CTI Systems, Inc. (CTISI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vermillion Ventures, Inc. (VVI), an inactive corporation. The stockholders of Circuit received 150,000,000 shares of VVI common stock in the transaction of which 12,000,000 shares were paid by Circuit to Cogent Capital Corp. (Cogent) for services performed in facilitating the transaction. CTISI subsequently changed its name to CirTran Corporation. The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of CirTran Corporation by Circuit. Although CirTran Corporation will be the surviving legal entity, for accounting purposes Circuit was treated as the surviving accounting entity. CirTran Corporation (the Company) provides turnkey manufacturing services using surface mount technology, ball-grid array assembly, pin-through-hole and custom injection molded cabling for leading electronics OEMs in the communications, networking, peripherals, gaming, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical and semiconductor industries. The Company provides a wide variety of pre-manufacturing, manufacturing and post-manufacturing services. The Company also designs, develops, manufactures and markets a full line of local area network products, with emphasis on token ring and Ethernet connectivity. 2. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Racore Technology Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 3. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. Title passes to the customer or independent sales representative at the time of shipment. Returns for defective items are repaired and sent back to the customer. Historically, expenses experienced with such returns have not been significant and have been recognized as incurred. 4. Cash and cash equivalents ------------------------- The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. 5. Inventories Raw material inventories consist primarily of circuit boards, components and cables and are valued at the lower of average cost or market. Work in process and finished goods include materials, labor and overhead. NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED 6. Property and equipment Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over the estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the service life of the improvements. The straight-line method of depreciation and amortization is followed for financial reporting purposes. Maintenance, repairs and renewals which neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in earnings. 7. Other assets Included in other assets are intellectual property and financing costs. Intellectual property is recorded at cost and amortized over the period that proceeds are received or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever is shorter. Financing costs are amortized over the period of the related debt. Intangible assets are evaluated periodically as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover the carrying amount. Such evaluation is based on various analyses, including undiscounted cash flows and profitability projections. Impairment would be recognized in operating results if expected future operating undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of intangible assets. Amortization expense totaled $216,790 and $269,930 for 2000 and 1999, respectively. 8. Checks written in excess of cash in bank ---------------------------------------- Under the Company's cash management system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes. Additionally, at times banks may temporarily lend funds to the Company by paying out more funds than are in the Company's account. These overdrafts are included as a current liability in the balance sheets. 9. Income taxes As of December 31, 2000, the Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Research tax credits are recognized as utilized. The Company operated, for tax purposes, as a corporation under provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code through May 10, 2000 (Note M). 10. Use of estimates In preparing the Company's financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates (Note B). NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED 11. Concentrations of risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. The Company sells substantially to recurring customers wherein the customer's ability to pay has previously been evaluated. The Company generally does not require collateral. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses, and such losses have been within management's expectations. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, this allowance was $82,502 and $360,493, respectively. At December 31, 2000, accounts receivable from a customer located in Baltimore, Maryland and a customer located in Nampa, Idaho, represented approximately 29 percent and 16 percent, respectively, of total trade accounts receivable. The Company has accounts payable to the Baltimore, Maryland company of approximately 78 percent of the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2000. Sales to these same customers accounted for 30 percent and 4 percent of 2000 revenues, respectively. The Baltimore, Maryland customer no longer does business with the Company. 12. Fair value of financial instruments ----------------------------------- The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable, approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of certain of the notes payable in default is not determinable. 13. Net loss per share ------------------ Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) are calculated by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS are similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding includes common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential. 14. Reclassifications not material Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements to conform with the 2000 presentation. NOTE B - REALIZATION OF ASSETS The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial losses from operations in 2000 and 1999. The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $10,147,408 and a total stockholders' deficit of $4,326,953 at December 31, 2000. In addition, the Company has used, rather than provided, cash in its operations. Since February of 2000, the Company has operated without a line of credit. Many of the Company's vendors stopped credit sales of components used by the Company to manufacture products and as a result, the Company converted certain of its turnkey customers to customers that provide consigned components to the Company for production. In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain or replace present financing, to acquire additional capital from investors, and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Abacus Ventures, Inc. (Abacus) purchased the Company's line of credit (Note F) from the lender. Although the Company has had discussions with Abacus concerning their willingness to exchange the debt for common stock at an undetermined future date, no agreement has been entered into between the Company and Abacus. The Company's plans include working with vendors to convert trade payables into long-term notes payable and common stock and cure defaults with lenders through forbearance agreements that the Company will be able to service. During 2000, the Company successfully converted approximately $800,000 in trade payables into notes and common stock. The Company intends to continue to pursue this type of debt conversion going forward with other creditors. The Company has initiated new credit arrangements for smaller dollar amounts with certain vendors and will pursue a new line of credit after negotiations with certain vendors are complete. If successful, these plans may add significant equity to the Company. In the future, significant amounts of additional cash will be needed to reduce debt and to fund losses until the Company becomes profitable. During 2000, the Company raised approximately $946,000 of additional capital from investors. During 2000, the Company's president also loaned the Company an additional $68,000 (Note G). The Company is continuing to seek infusions of capital from investors and is also attempting to replace its line of credit. Management has made changes in operations to reduce labor and other costs and believes that if adequate cash and capital as described above are obtained, the Company can become profitable.

In instances where the Company is out of compliance, these amounts have been shown as current. NOTE H - LEASES The Company conducts a substantial portion of its operations utilizing leased facilities and equipment consisting of sales office, warehouses, manufacturing plant, and transportation and computer equipment. Generally, the leases provide for renewal for various periods at stipulated rates. The following is a schedule by year of future minimum lease payments under operating and capital leases, together with the present value of the net lease payments as of December 31, 2000: Capital Operating Year ending December 31, leases leases ------------------------ ----------- ------------- 2001 $ 46,718 $ 320,526 2002 8,523 324,713 2003 4,389 329,037 2004 3,657 226,298 2005 - 191,688 Thereafter - 175,714 ----------- ------------- Future minimum lease payments 63,287 $ 1,567,976 ============= Amounts representing interest (9,756) ----------- Present value of net minimum lease payments 53,531 Less current maturities 39,274 ----------- $ 14,257 =========== The building leases provide for payment of property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs by the Company. One of the buildings is leased from related parties (Note I). Rental expense for operating leases totaled $325,722 and $743,552 for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company has an option to renew one building lease with related parties, for two additional ten-year periods upon expiration of the term in 2006 (Note I). Property and equipment includes $271,423 of equipment under capital leases at both December 31, 2000 and 1999. Accumulated amortization amounted to $181,881 and $138,951 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, for equipment under capital leases. NOTE I - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Lease The Company entered into a lease for manufacturing and office space with another company owned by certain stockholders of the Company (Note H). The terms of the lease include monthly payments to the lessor of $15,974 for a period of ten years after which the lease is renewable for two additional ten-year periods. NOTE I - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - CONTINUED Note payable At various times during 2000 the Company had amounts due to stockholders. The balance due to stockholders at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $1,020,966 and $1,035,966, respectively. Interest associated with amounts due to stockholders is accrued at 10 percent, was $103,305 at December 31, 2000 and is included in accrued liabilities. The Company also has an additional 10 percent note due to its president for $68,000 at December 31, 2000 (Note G). Common Stock In 1999, Circuit entered into an agreement with Cogent, a financial consulting firm, whereby Cogent agreed to assist and provide consulting services to Circuit in connection with a possible merger or acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the Company issued 12,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Cogent in July 2000 in connection with our acquisition of the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit. The principal of Cogent was a director of Circuit from 1999 through July 1, 2000. NOTE J - ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued liabilities include $1,316,645 of delinquent payroll taxes including estimated interest and penalties of $95,604 and $111,004, respectively. As of December 31, 2000, the Company has negotiated a payment schedule with the state of Utah requiring 12 monthly payments of $10,863. NOTE K - LITIGATION Circuit (the surviving accounting entity, Note A1) is a defendant in an alleged breach of a facilities sublease agreement in Colorado. A lawsuit was filed in which the plaintiff seeks to recover past due rent, future rent, and other lease charges. Management and the Company's attorneys have estimated the range of potential loss to be between $0 and $2,500,000. The wide range is due to two rent calculation methods written in the master lease. Under one calculation, the amount would be minimal. Under the other calculation, the amount would represent all future rent (reduced by rent received from future tenants). The Company filed a suit against the landlord for an amount in excess of $500,000 for missing equipment. Rent has been accrued through December 31, 2000 and is included in accrued liabilities. Circuit is also the defendant in numerous legal actions primarily resulting from nonpayment of vendors for goods and services received. The Company has accrued the payables and is currently in the process of negotiating settlements with these vendors. NOTE L - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE The following data show the shares used in computing loss per common share: 2000 1999 -------------- --------------- Common shares outstanding during entire period 129,271,560 109,887,630 Net weighted-average common shares issued during period 13,493,995 9,408,950 -------------- --------------- Weighted-average number of common shares used in basic and diluted EPS 142,765,555 119,296,580 ============== =============== NOTE L - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - CONTINUED The Company has no common stock equivalents and therefore basic and diluted EPS are the same. NOTE M - INCOME TAXES The Company operated, for tax purposes, as a corporation under provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code through May 10, 2000. During this period, taxes on income of the Company flowed through to the stockholders. Accordingly, the Company was not subject to federal income taxes on Company operating results for the period in which the S election was in existence, and no provision or current liability or asset for federal or state income taxes for those periods has been reflected. On May 10, 2000, the Company revoked their S election and became a taxable entity. Effective with the change, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Income tax expense at December 31, 2000, consists of the following: Current $ - Deferred - ------------- $ - ============= The tax effects of temporary differences which gave rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2000, are as follows: Current deferred tax assets Inventory reserve $ 262,297 Bad debt reserve 30,773 Vacation reserve 13,591 LIFO Inv. 263A calculation 148,617 ------------- 455,278 ------------- Long-term deferred tax assets (liabilities) Research and development credit 53,974 Research and development capitalized 1,605 Net operating loss carryforward 1,446,233 Intellectual property 200,053 Depreciation (74,714) ------------- 1,627,151 ------------- 2,082,429 Valuation allowance (2,082,429) ------------- $ - ============= NOTE M - INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED The Company has sustained net operating losses in both of the periods presented. There were no deferred tax assets or income tax benefits recorded in the financial statements for net deductible temporary differences or net operating loss carryforwards because the likelihood of realization of the related tax benefits cannot be established. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero and consequently, there is no income tax provision or benefit presented for the year ended December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting purposes of approximately $3,877,300 expiring in various years through 2020. Utilization of approximately $1,194,000 of the total net operating loss is dependent on the future profitable operation of Racore Technology Corporation under the separate return limitation rules and limitations on the carryforward of net operating losses after a change in ownership. NOTE N - SEGMENT INFORMATION Segment information has been prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company has two reportable segments; electronics assembly and Ethernet technology. The electronics assembly segment manufactures and assembles circuit boards and electronic component cables. The Ethernet technology segment designs and manufactures Ethernet cards. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance of each segment based on earnings or loss from operations. Selected segment information is as follows: Electronics Ethernet 2000 Assembly Technology Total ---- -------------- ------------- -------------- Sales to external customers $ 4,686,045 $ 1,687,051 $ 6,373,096 Intersegment sales 1,015,349 40,423 1,055,772 Segment loss (4,179,654) (1,229,248) (5,408,902) Segment assets 3,916,774 854,806 4,771,580 Depreciation and amortization 687,802 273,704 961,506 1999 Sales to external customers $ 7,954,824 $ 1,905,665 $ 9,860,489 Intersegment sales 1,531,642 7,174 1,538,816 Segment loss (3,818,927) (1,280,627) (5,099,554) Segment assets 6,655,078 1,216,921 7,871,999 Depreciation and amortization 807,113 273,080 1,080,193 Sales 2000 1999 ----- -------------- -------------- Total sales for reportable segments $ 7,428,868 $ 11,399,305 Elimination of intersegment sales (1,055,772) (1,538,816) -------------- -------------- Consolidated net sales $ 6,373,096 $ 9,860,489 ============== ============== Net Loss Net loss for reportable segments $ (5,408,902) $ (5,099,554) Elimination of intersegment losses 1,229,248 1,330,649 -------------- -------------- Consolidated net loss $ (4,179,654) $ (3,768,905) ============== ============== NOTE N - SEGMENT INFORMATION - CONTINUED Total Assets Total assets for reportable segments $ 4,771,580 $ 7,871,999 Elimination of intersegment amounts (154,790) (893,888) -------------- -------------- Consolidated total assets $ 4,616,790 $ 6,978,111 ============== ============== NOTE O - REVENUES All revenue-producing assets are located in North America. Revenues are attributed to the geographic areas based on the location of the customers purchasing the products. The Company's net sales by geographic area are as follows: 2000 1999 -------------- -------------- United States of America $ 5,921,890 $ 8,616,425 Mexico 45,216 29,099 Canada - 28,527 Europe/Africa/Middle East 390,808 789,906 Asia/Australia 15,182 396,532 -------------- -------------- $ 6,373,096 $ 9,860,489 ============== ============== NOTE P - FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company recorded various adjustments that approximated $1.9 million in additional expense that affect, in part, previous quarters of 2000. The adjustments were recorded as follows: 1) Adjustments to inventory of $462,280, 2) Additional depreciation expense of $136,706, 3) Additional payable accruals of $815,695, 4) Additional interest expense of $257,600, and 5) Payroll penalties and interest on nonremitted payroll withholdings of $206,608. NOTE Q - RESTATEMENT The financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been restated to reflect corrections to recognize $300,900 reduction in inventory, $45,213 write off of accounts receivable and other assets, and $1,041,653 of additional accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It has been determined that adjustments are necessary to write down inventory purchased for specific customers that does not have alternative use and record accounts payable and accrued liabilities that should have been recognized in 2000. Accordingly, the cost of sales has been increased by $600,669, selling, general and administrative expenses has been increased by $508,485, interest expense has been increased by $207,958, and other income decreased by $70,654 in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. The restatements described above resulted in an additional loss per share of $0.01 for the year ended December 31, 2000 SIGNATURES In accordance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the registrant caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
