PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our," and "us," refers to AutoTradeCenter.com Inc. GENERAL We assist automobile manufacturers, finance companies, financial institutions, lease and rental companies, and automobile dealers in marketing their inventories of used automobiles over the Internet. This is referred to as "remarketing" in the automotive industry. We have developed technology that enables businesses with used vehicles to post their inventories on a website, provide detailed information about each vehicle, and sell these vehicles to other dealers. We believe that our services provide businesses with an efficient and cost-effective used vehicle redistribution or remarketing system as an alternative to traditional auto auctions. Presently, all of our revenues are derived from developing and operating remarketing websites for businesses, such as American Honda Finance Corporation, American Suzuki Motor Corporation, and Volvo Finance North America, Inc. for which we are paid listing fees and fees when a vehicle is bought or sold on the website. We are trying to market our services to other similar types of companies. CORPORATE BACKGROUND We were organized as an Arizona corporation on July 10, 1997 under the name Auto Network USA, Inc., and commenced operations on September 22, 1997. In December 1998, we changed our name to Auto Network Group, Inc. as a result of an agreement reached with an entity with a similar name. We again changed our name to AutoTradeCenter.com in April 1999 to more accurately reflect our Internet presence and our future direction of providing automotive remarketing services over the Internet. SUBSIDIARIES. The presentation includes a discussion of us with our wholly-owned subsidiaries, NDSCo.com, Inc., AutoTradeCenter Remarketing Services, Inc. formerly Walden Remarketing Services, Inc., and BusinessTradeCenter.com Inc., as well as subsidiaries in which we formerly carried out our wholesale land-based operations. These subsidiaries are Auto Network Group of Arizona, Inc., Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc., Auto Network Group Northwest, Inc., Auto Network Group of Eastern Pa., Inc., Auto Group of San Antonio Ltd., Auto Network Group of Denver Inc., and Pinnacle Dealer Services, Inc. As of December 29, 2000, we sold our interest in our wholesale land-based operations in Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc.; Auto Group of San Antonio Ltd.; and Auto Network Group Northwest, Inc. to Automotive Disposition Management Services, Inc. ("Automotive Disposition"), an affiliated Arizona corporation, in exchange for a 16% interest in Automotive Disposition. We also placed into escrow 746,493 shares of our common stock representing the maximum earn-out shares that could be issued to management of the operations in Bend, Oregon and San Antonio, Texas. In the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, 430,675 of our common shares held in escrow for the management of our former subsidiary in Oregon were exchanged for 9% of our interest in Automotive Disposition, thereby reducing our interest therein to approximately 7%. In January 2002, Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc. terminated its association with Automotive Disposition. In March 2002, we entered into a further agreement with the management of our former subsidiary in San Antonio and Automotive Disposition whereby we fixed the number of earn-out shares for San Antonio management at 261,034 for the three remaining years of our prior agreement with them and cancelled 54,784 shares of common stock remaining in escrow. In addition, we received cash of $1,000 and returned to Automotive Disposition the shares representing the approximate 7% interest in Automotive Disposition. We no longer have any interest in Automotive Disposition. Automotive Disposition is a private company now owned exclusively by Jules Gollins, the former manager of the New Mexico wholesale land-based operation, and by Mark Moldenhauer, one of our founders, a principal shareholder, and a former officer and director. 2
10KSB3rd Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
We disposed of our wholesale land-based operations in Scottsdale, Arizona, as of February 28, 2001 and formally dissolved Auto Network Group of Arizona, Inc. in March 2002. Also in March 2002 we dissolved Auto Network Group of Denver Inc. thereby discontinuing all wholesale land-based operations and allowing us to focus on providing automotive remarketing services via the Internet. In March 2002, we also dissolved our subsidiary Pinnacle Dealer Services, Inc. ("Pinnacle") and we are in the process of dissolving NDSCo.com, Inc. No corporate activity occurred in Pinnacle, NDSCo, or AutoTradeCenter Remarketing Services, Inc. for fiscal year end March 31, 2002. BusinessTradeCenter.com Inc.'s activity is included in our consolidated financial statements and all material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. EQUITY FINANCING. In December 1997, we sold 1,002,500 shares of common stock, in a private placement, for gross proceeds of $25,063. In February 1998, we sold 6,750 shares of Series A preferred stock, in a private placement, for $675,000. From November 1998 to December 1998, we sold 47,000 shares of Series B preferred stock for gross proceeds of $470,000 in a private placement. In February 2000, we sold through a private placement 20,800 shares of Series C preferred stock and 31,200 shares of Series D preferred stock for gross proceeds of $5,200,000. In July 2001 we sold 1,300 shares of Series E preferred stock for gross proceeds of $130. From March 2001 through March 2002, we sold 19,350,047 shares of common stock in a private placement for gross proceeds of $1,935,004. INTERNET OPERATIONS On February 1, 1999, we introduced an Internet site: AutoTradeCenter.com. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, BusinessTradeCenter.com, controls the legal rights to the Internet domain name, technology, systems, and programming required to operate this site. Upon introduction, access to this site was limited to registered members including automobile dealers, leasing companies, banks, and fleet or rental companies. It was our intent, at the time, to provide to members information on used vehicles offered for sale by us and by others. To encourage use of this site, initially we offered free membership. We planned to charge a membership fee at an undetermined future date. From inception, approximately 500 businesses registered as members. Initially up to ten members posted cars on the Internet site. Our entire inventory also was listed on the Internet site. To date, no revenue has been generated from the AutoTradeCenter.com web site. Our current business plan does not include generating revenue from this site. The start-up costs for the development of the site were not material, since the prior minority owner of our wholly-owned subsidiary BusinessTradeCenter.com, contributed the technology for the site design for its ownership interest. Software relating to Internet dealer-to-dealer used car exchanges acquired from NDSCo.com, as part of the purchase price of that company, was written off as impaired in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. The development of our website and our acquisition of Walden Remarketing Services led to the execution of a Motor Vehicle Remarketing Agreement with American Honda Finance Corporation in February 2000. The agreement gave us the exclusive contract to remarket all of the vehicles returned to Honda after termination of a lease. Access to the website is restricted to users approved by Honda. As of June 15, 2000, the Honda Web site was operational with all Honda and Acura dealers throughout the United States. We amended our agreement with American Honda Finance in February 2001 and again in October 2001. Among other things, the amendments extended our contract to remarket Honda and Acura vehicles through January 31, 2004, and increased the fees we could earn for each vehicle marketed on the website. The Honda agreement is terminable upon 60 days notice by Honda upon the payment of certain fees to AutoTradeCenter. We developed a pilot program for Suzuki, similar to the program developed for Honda, utilizing our Internet technology systems and procedures to remarket their program vehicles to dealers. The Suzuki pilot program began in September 2000 (www.suzukiproline.com) and we signed an agreement with Suzuki in January 2001 to remarket their program cars over the Internet for a one-year period. This agreement was extended in February 2002 for an additional year term ending January 2003. In April of 2001, we entered into an agreement to remarket off-lease Volvo vehicles with Volvo Finance North America for one year commencing with the start of operations of the Volvo program. The Volvo Finance 3
10KSB4th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
web site, www.volvoride.com, began operating on a pilot basis on October 29, 2001 and became fully operational on December 13, 2001. We are currently negotiating an extension of our contract with Volvo. By combining the BusinessTradeCenter and NDSCo.com technologies, we created the next generation of AutoTradeCenter technology called ATCADVANTAGE, to better service current clients such as Honda, Suzuki and Volvo, as well as prospective clients. These prospective clients most likely will be automobile manufacturers, finance companies, financial institutions, lease and rental companies, and automobile dealers with an inventory of used vehicles to sell. We launched ATCADVANTAGE in February 2001 with the Honda website. The Honda, Suzuki and Volvo websites utilize the ATCADVANTAGE platform, as will other clients when or if obtained. The ATCADVANTAGE web site offers, among other things, the following services and features: o Inventory Listing - A consignor can post inventory for sale. The listing can include a complete description of each vehicle, including make, model, trim, equipment, mileage and a wholesale price. Condition reports and digital images of the vehicle can also be included with the vehicle description. o Condition Report Display Standards - ATC's condition report display standards mean that all vehicle inspection results can be displayed in a similar format, irrespective of the inspection company completing the condition report. It also reduces integration costs for sellers, enabling them to integrate a single standardized inspection data feed into their systems. o Car Groups - Consignor vehicles are organized into groups that follow the same business rules or behaviors. This technology allows differing groups of vehicles to be searched and viewed side by side with vehicles from other Car Groups. Consignors can make all their portfolios available for sale to any, or all, prospective buyers through the use of one or more car groups. o Marketing Programs - ATCADVANTAGE enables sellers to provide marketing and purchase incentive programs from time to time. These can include rebates, transport discounts or other incentives. Dealers purchasing a vehicle on ATCADVANTAGE can select these marketing programs if they apply to their specific vehicle purchases. o Private Label Communities - Consignors can set up private branded sites for the purpose of providing an information center for their buying dealers. This area on the site facilitates dealer buying histories, remarketing activities calendar, transportation links, newsletter and other static links. Consignors can advertise here, through the use of banner ads, and other tools to market information to prospective buyers. o Transaction Engine - The ATC transaction engine enables dealers to purchase vehicles from the website. Once vehicles have been purchased, appropriate notifications are sent to the consignor, including all relevant details associated with the transaction. o Auction Consignment - ATCADVANTAGE enables consignors to automatically consign vehicles to physical auctions using business rules set by the consignor. These rules can be based on vehicle type, vehicle value, vehicle location etc. o Auction Extension - Consignors can continue to list vehicles on the ATCADVANTAGE system while those vehicles are still in route to auction, or while they're located at the auction itself. ATC's auction extension facilitates tracking of the vehicle while it is being transported from the dealership through to the auction. Dealers purchasing vehicles located at auction can also purchase reconditioning services provided by the auction. o Integration to ATC CRM System - All dealers viewing and purchasing vehicles on the ATCADVANTAGE system have accounts set up in the ATC Customer Relationship Management system. All inbound and outbound calls with the dealer are logged in this system, and the dealer's transaction history is also recorded. This enables the ATC Dealer Services team to have access to the most up to date information when interacting with the dealers. o Reporting - Consignors can access online reports relating to vehicles listed, sold, purchased by specific dealers. ATC also provides sellers with significant levels of end of week and end of month reporting, sales data, 4
10KSB5th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
comparisons and other related management information. The ATC websites also support individual vehicle tracking by VIN, enabling consignors to track the history of specific vehicles. We intend to charge new clients for services provided on our ATCADVANTAGE site a listing fee for each vehicle listed on the website and a transaction fee for each vehicle sold on the website. We also intend to charge fees for extra services such providing a call center, generating reports and analyzing data collected through the website, and to pass certain custom programming costs on to clients. Currently, we charge for additional call center activities and custom programming cost based upon specific requests of our clients. Since we have been unable to generate revenue from posting and selling vehicles on the AutoTradeCenter.com site as a result of, among other things, obstacles relating to the dealer-to-dealer exchanges of used vehicles over the Internet, we decided to change the functionality of our AutoTradeCenter.com web site as follows: o No automobiles are posted on the site. o We are redirecting dealers to the ATCADVANTAGE site. We are using the AutoTradeCenter.com site to provide information about our company, such as financial statements, press releases, personnel information, etc. CUSTOMERS Our e-commerce Internet automotive solutions and initiatives provides us with the opportunity to serve the large suppliers of used automobiles such as finance companies, lease companies and car rental companies. These customers are also considered to be automobile dealers; however, they only supply the industry with used vehicles, they are not purchasers of used automobiles. SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS The sale of used automobiles is a year-round process. However, generally sales slow down during the fourth quarter of the calendar year due to the introduction of new models and the holiday season. Business generally picks up in January. Similarly, there are fewer vehicles returned after the termination of a lease in the fourth quarter of the calendar year. This is followed by a return to higher volumes in the first and second calendar quarters, followed by a further increase in vehicles being returned after lease terminations during the summer months. WORKING CAPITAL PRACTICES During the past year we met our working capital needs through operations, the sale of equity pursuant to a private placement, and borrowing on our line of credit facility with our former lender, Eagle Capital Group, LLC ("Eagle"). Our indebtedness under the Eagle credit facility was repaid on June 28, 2002, through a loan made to us in connection with our Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated June 28, 2002 with Autodaq Corporation. Concurrently with our repayment of this indebtedness, the credit facility with Eagle was terminated. See Item 6 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - Anticipated Trends and Plan of Operation." COMPETITION We compete with other Internet-based entities that maintain commercial Web sites for the wholesale remarketing of vehicles on the Internet including Autodaq Corporation, The Cobalt Group, OnLane, Manheim Auto Auction, Adesa Auto Auction, Fleet Lease Disposal, Inc., and GMAC's Smart Auction. We also compete with various financial institutions that remarket their own off-lease vehicles. We believe that we compete for customers, which are entities with inventories of off-lease or program vehicles to sell, primarily on the basis of: o The cost of using our services as opposed to the services of others; o The experience and expertise of our personnel in Internet technology and the automobile remarketing/retail sales industries; o Our call center, which is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; 5
10KSB6th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
o Whether the needs of these entities are being addressed adequately; and o The quality of service to be rendered to all users of the Web site - primarily the seller and the buyer. We currently assess our competition as follows: o AUTODAQ CORPORATION - We believe that we compete directly against Autodaq, an entity that currently provides an Internet Web site that competes with our Internet initiatives. These initiatives are directed to the acquisition and redistribution of vehicles returned to finance companies after termination of a lease. We consider Autodaq to be a major competitor. On June 28, 2002 we entered into a Reorganization Agreement to merge with Autodaq. (See Item 6 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - Anticipated Trends and Plan of Operation.") o THE COBALT GROUP - The Cobalt Group is a private company. It also is better capitalized than our company. Currently, Cobalt is a leading provider of e-business products and services to the automotive industry. Nearly half of the nation's auto dealers use Cobalt's technology, including 8,500 Web services clients. Its e-business products and services are endorsed by 15 automotive manufacturers and more than 50 of the 100 largest dealer groups in the United States. Cobalt is the only e-business provider endorsed by the National Automobile Dealers Association. Cobalt has developed an Internet based remarketing program called Motorplace Exchange. We expect Cobalt's Motorplace Exchange to become increasingly popular as a dealer-to-dealer exchange for used vehicle inventory management. o ONLANE - OnLane Corporation is a private company located in Toronto, Canada which provides certain Internet applications that compete with our products and services. To date, the majority of their customers are located in Canada. Because they are privately held, little information is available on the financial resources and operations of OnLane. However, we have experienced increased competition from OnLane during the past six months and we anticipate that OnLane will be very competitive with us in the future. o MANHEIM - Manheim Online is an Internet-based program of Manheim Auto Auction, which is the largest automobile auction company in the United States. Until recently, Manheim Online had limited its presence only to vehicles grounded at Manheim auctions. However, we believe that Manheim intends to expand its Internet presence to include other vehicles. Manheim is far better capitalized than we, as it is owned by Cox Enterprises, a subsidiary of Cox Communications. We expect Manheim to be a major competitor in Internet remarketing. o ADESA - Adesa Corporation, like Manheim, is one of the largest physical auction companies in the United States. Adesa's Open initiative supports programs that will compete with various programs and services that we currently provide our customers on the Internet. Adesa is better capitalized that we, as it is owned by Allete Corporation. o FLEET LEASE DISPOSAL, INC. - Fleet Lease Disposal is a privately held Florida-based corporation that competes against us for large financial institution clients. It appears to have a management team with a significant amount of experience both in automobile sales and Internet technology. Its Veretack program offers vehicle remarketing services, lease disposal/termination solutions, title services, or personalized customer programs. It recently introduced new, web-based, Internet technology to expedite the process of remarketing off-lease and fleet vehicles for manufacturers, banks and other financial institutions. o GMAC - Although the GMAC web site has been limited to General Motors' vehicles, an expansion of this site to other manufacturers and financial institutions also could provide substantial competition. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Compliance with government regulations does not currently impose a significant impact on our Internet operations. 6
10KSB7th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
EMPLOYEES As of March 31, 2002 we had 17 full-time employees and no part-time employees. We depend upon a limited number of key management and technical personnel. None of our employees is represented by labor organizations; we have never had a work stoppage or slowdown as a result of labor issues; and we have excellent relations with our employees. Management believes that the adoption of our stock plans, along with other Company benefits, will enhance employees' interest in remaining with us. In the future, management is planning to add further incentives to attract and retain high quality personnel. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. Effective May 15, 2002, we moved our administrative offices to Mesa, Arizona after entering into a sub-lease with an unrelated third party consisting of approximately 7,000 square feet that will expire March 31, 2004. Until the move in May 2002 to our current office space, we leased from an unrelated third party approximately 6,000 square feet of office space in Scottsdale, Arizona. The 13,500 square-foot administrative and warehouse facility, also in Scottsdale, Arizona, that formerly housed our wholesale land-based and warehouse facilities, is leased from an unrelated third party under an operating lease expiring September 30, 2002. This facility is currently subleased to two unrelated parties. During the year we successfully negotiated a settlement of both the Denver, Colorado and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania facilities terminating our lease obligations with the respective lessors. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. We and certain of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. None. 7

PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Our common stock traded over-the-counter on the OTC Bulletin Board from January 29, 1998 to August 2, 1999. From August 3, 1999 to November 5, 1999, our common stock traded on the "pink sheets." Since November 8, 1999, it has traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for each fiscal quarter since the stock began trading. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. FISCAL QUARTER ENDING HIGH BID LOW BID June 30, 2000......................... $ 3.2500 $ 1.1000 September 30, 2000.................... $ 2.6250 $ 0.9375 December 31, 2000..................... $ 2.3750 $ 0.3125 March 31, 2001........................ $ 1.2344 $ 0.2969 June 30, 2001......................... $ 0.4062 $ 0.1400 September 30, 2001.................... $ 0.2500 $ 0.0800 December 31, 2001..................... $ 0.1200 $ 0.0900 March 31, 2002........................ $ 0.2500 $ 0.0900 On June 28, 2002, the closing price for the common stock was $0.06. The number of record holders of common stock as of June 28, 2002 was 158 according to our transfer agent. Our common stock is subject to SEC rules relating to "penny stocks," which apply to non-NASDAQ companies whose stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or whose tangible net worth is less than $2,000,000. Prior to the sale of a penny stock recommended by the broker-dealer to a new customer who is not an accredited investor, the broker-dealer must approve the customer's account for transactions in penny stocks in accordance with procedures set forth in the SEC's rules. The broker-dealer must obtain information about the customer's financial situation, investment experience, and investment objectives. Using this information, the broker-dealer must be able to determine that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for this customer and that the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker-dealer must furnish the customer with a written statement setting forth the basis for the broker's determination of suitability. The customer must sign, date, and return the statement to the broker-dealer. In addition, the broker-dealer must obtain a written agreement from the customer to purchase the penny stock that sets forth the identity of the stock and number of shares to be purchased. A separate agreement must be obtained for each penny stock purchased by the customer until he or she becomes an "established customer." Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to dividends when, and if, declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, capital requirements, and our financial condition. During the quarter ending March 31, 2002, we sold 2,020,000 unregistered shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $202,000 to 8 persons in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. No underwriters were used in the above transactions. The purchasers were deemed to be sophisticated with respect to this investment in our securities by virtue of their financial condition and previous investment experience. A restrictive legend was placed on the stock certificates evidencing the purchased shares. 8

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. The balance sheet and income statement data shown below were derived from our audited financial statements.

Our actual future results could differ materially from our historical results of operations and those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All period references are for the years ended March 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002. GENERAL The presentation includes a discussion of us with our wholly-owned subsidiaries, NDSCo.com, Inc., AutoTradeCenter Remarketing Services, Inc. formerly Walden Remarketing Services, Inc., and BusinessTradeCenter.com Inc., as well as subsidiaries in which we formerly carried out our wholesale land-based operations. These subsidiaries are Auto Network Group of Arizona, Inc., Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc., Auto Network Group Northwest, Inc., Auto Network Group of Eastern Pa., Inc., Auto Group of San Antonio Ltd., Auto Network Group of Denver Inc., and Pinnacle Dealer Services, Inc., As of December 29, 2000, we sold our interest in our wholesale land-based operations in Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc.; Auto Group of San Antonio Ltd.; and Auto Network Group Northwest, Inc. to Automotive Disposition Management Services, Inc. ("Automotive Disposition"), an affiliated Arizona corporation, in exchange for a 16% interest in Automotive Disposition. We also placed into escrow 746,493 shares of our common stock, representing the maximum earn-out shares that could be issued to management of the operations in Bend, Oregon and San Antonio, Texas. In the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, 430,675 of our 9
10KSB10th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
common shares held in escrow for the management of our former subsidiary in Oregon were exchanged for 9% of our interest in Automotive Disposition Management thereby reducing our interest therein to approximately 7%. In January 2002, Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc. terminated their association with Automotive Disposition. In March 2002, we entered into a further agreement with the management of our former subsidiary in San Antonio and Automotive Disposition whereby we fixed the number of earn-out shares for San Antonio management at 261,034 for the three remaining years of our prior agreement with them and cancelled 54,784 shares of common stock remaining in escrow. In addition, we received cash of $1,000 and returned to Automotive Disposition the shares representing the approximate 7% interest in Automotive Disposition. We no longer have any interest in Automotive Disposition. Automotive Disposition is a private company now owned exclusively by Jules Gollins, the former manager of the New Mexico wholesale land-based operation, and by Mark Moldenhauer, one of our founders, a principal shareholder, and a former officer and director. We disposed of our wholesale land-based operations in Scottsdale, Arizona, as of February 28, 2001 and formally dissolved Auto Network Group of Arizona, Inc. in March 2002. Also in March 2002, we dissolved Auto Network Group of Denver Inc. thereby discontinuing all wholesale land-based operations and allowing us to focus on providing automotive remarketing services via the Internet. In March 2002, we also dissolved our subsidiary Pinnacle Dealer Services, Inc. ("Pinnnacle"), and we are currently taking action to dissolve NDSCo.com, Inc. No corporate activity occurred in Pinnacle, NDSCo, and AutoTradeCenter Remarketing Services for fiscal year end March 31, 2002. BusinessTradeCenter.com Inc's activity is included in our consolidated financial statements and all material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As a result of the disposition of our land-based operations, as further described in the following paragraphs, the trend information should be carefully read and evaluated. See "Anticipated Trends and Plan of Operation" below. OVERVIEW We began operations on September 22, 1997 and completed our first fiscal year on March 31, 1998 as a wholesale auto remarketer. We continued this activity up until February of 2001, when we sold our wholesale land-based operations. Due to the discontinuance of our land-based operations, we now focus all of our efforts on remarketing vehicles over the Internet. In January 1999, we announced the development of our Internet site WWW.AUTOTRADECENTER.COM. No revenues have been generated from the operations of this site, which is now used for informational purposes only. However, effective February 1, 2000, a new web site developed for American Honda Finance Corporation, powered by our technology, began generating revenue. We generated $291,587 of revenue in the year ended March 31, 2000 from remarketing activities that were not related either to our Internet remarketing business or our wholesale land-based operations. Our existing remarketing agreement with Honda Finance Corporation gives us an exclusive contract to remarket, over the Internet through January 31, 2004, all of the vehicles returned to Honda and Acura after termination of a lease. These are referred to in the industry as "off-lease" vehicles. The Honda web site, www.hfcarsales.com, became operational in all Honda and Acura dealerships by June 15, 2000 upon completion of a phase in period beginning April 2000. The Honda agreement is terminable upon 60 days notice by Honda upon the payment of certain fees to AutoTradeCenter. We developed a pilot program for Suzuki, similar to the program developed for Honda, utilizing our Internet technology systems and procedures to remarket their program vehicles to dealers. The Suzuki pilot program began in September 2000 (www.suzukiproline.com), and we signed an agreement with Suzuki in January 2001 to remarket their program cars over the Internet for a one-year period. In February 2002, our contract with Suzuki was extended for an additional year. In April of 2001, we entered into an agreement to remarket off-lease Volvo vehicles with Volvo Finance North America for one year commencing with the start of operations of the Volvo program. The Volvo Finance web site, www.volvoride.com, began operating on a pilot basis on October 29, 2001 and became fully operational on December 13, 2001. We are currently negotiating an extension of the contract with Volvo. 10

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our financial statements reflect Internet operations as continuing operations and land-based operations as discontinued operations, even though we did not generate any revenue from our Internet remarketing operations until April 2000. On November 30, 2000, our management and Board of Directors decided to discontinue all of our wholesale land-based operations. We believe that our best opportunity to maximize profitability and shareholder value is to concentrate all of our efforts on remarketing used vehicles utilizing the Internet as the backbone of our operations. We sold our wholesale land-based subsidiaries in New Mexico, Oregon, and Texas on December 29, 2000, and closed our operations in Pennsylvania and Colorado by the end of the year. We began to down-size our Scottsdale, Arizona operations in December 2000, and transferred these operations to certain of the independent-contractor brokers who formerly purchased and sold vehicles for us primarily in Scottsdale, Arizona, effective February 28, 2001. The following schedule shows the computation of the loss resulting from discontinuing our land-based operations: Loss from sale of Albuquerque, Bend, and San Antonio operations: Carrying value $ 1,596,933 Sales price 1,200,000 ------------ Loss 396,933 Unamortized goodwill 351,542 ------------ Total loss $ 748,475 Loss from transfer and closing of Scottsdale operation: Sale of equipment 17,793 Inventory losses due to sale 425,693 Uncollectible brokers accounts 593,635 Costs of closing operations 226,461 Accrued future costs of closing operations 50,000 ------------ 1,313,582 Loss from closing Pennsylvania 277,388 ----------- Total loss from discontinuing wholesale land-based segment $ 2,339,445 =========== The following statement of operations for the wholesale land-based operations reflects the details of these operations for the periods herein presented: RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF DISCONTINUED WHOLESALE LAND-BASED OPERATIONS: FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------------------------ 2001* 2000 ------------------------------------ Net sales $ 123,171,010 $ 131,569,705 Cost of sales 117,257,094 125,770,135 -------------- -------------- Gross profit 5,913,916 5,799,570 -------------- -------------- Operating expenses Selling 4,376,272 3,843,922 General and administrative 1,199,064 1,783,874 Bad debt expenses 75,000 1,045,970 Depreciation and amortization 36,165 38,428 -------------- -------------- Total operating expenses 5,686,501 6,712,194 -------------- -------------- Income (loss) from operations 227,415 (912,624) -------------- -------------- Other income (expense): Miscellaneous 139,599 102,133 Interest expense (690,854) (887,094) -------------- -------------- Total other income (expense) - net (551,255) (784,961) -------------- -------------- Net (loss) before income taxes $ (323,840) $ (1,697,585) ============== ============== * Through 12/31/00 - date of discontinuance 11

Net losses from continuing operations were $7,902,662 ($0.17 per share), $9,060,369 ($0.28 per share), and $946,202 ($0.04 per share) for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. INTERNET REVENUES. Internet revenues from continuing operations were $2,542,610, $870,474 and $291,587 for our fiscal years ended March 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Substantially all revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 was earned from remarketing vehicles. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, AutoTradeCenter Remarketing Services Inc. generated all revenue from contracts entered into by Walden Remarketing Services prior to our acquisition of Walden. These contracts were with American Honda Finance and others. The revenue derived from these contracts resulted from services provided by us to encourage dealers to attend and purchase off-lease and other vehicles at auctions. None of this revenue resulted from Internet activities, and it ceased upon expiration of the contracts in July and August of 1999. COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues in addition to salary and wages included our website hosting costs and an allocated share of operating expenses and overhead. Salary and wages were higher for the year ended March 31, 2002 because of the addition of two employees who are software design engineers. This also changed the allocated share of operating expenses and overhead. SALES AND MARKETING. Our sales and marketing expenses consisted primarily of compensation for sales personnel. Sales salary expense decreased $501,435 for the year ended March 31, 2002 compared to the prior year because of a reduction in sales personnel. The reduction in salary expense also changed and reduced the allocated portion of operating expenses and overhead. During the period ended March 31, 2001, sales and marketing expenses increased $832,834 from the period ended March 31, 2000 as we focused our attention on the Internet portion of our business. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. Our product development expenses consisted primarily of compensation for product development personnel and outside consulting costs. Product development expense was substantially less for the year ended March 2002, as compared to the same period ended March 2001 because of the costs incurred in the year 2001 to significantly enhance the functionality of our system. The bulk of our product development costs are capitalized into cost of software in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, in determining the amount of software costs developed in-house to be capitalized. We apply Emerging Issues Task Force 00-02, Accounting for Website Development Costs, in determining the amount of website development costs to be capitalized. These standards require capitalization of certain direct development costs associated with internal use software and website development costs. Costs to be capitalized include internal and external direct project costs including, among others, payroll and labor, material, and services. These costs are included in software and are being amortized over a period not to exceed three years beginning when the software is substantially ready for use. Costs incurred on new projects, projects in a preliminary phase and projects that contract negotiations have not begun, as well as maintenance and training costs, are charged to expense as incurred. During the year ended March 2002, we capitalized over $828,000 in software development costs, as compared to $1,206,020 during the year ended March 2001 and $206,816 for the year ended March 2000. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Our general and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation for administrative personnel, including our executive officers, facility expenses and fees for outside professional services. General and administrative expenses increased by $132,239 to $1,601,536 from $1,469,297 for the years ended March 31, 2002 as compared to March 31, 2001. The increase primarily is attributable to professional fees. General and administrative expenses increased $909,829 for the year ended March 31, 2001 as compared to March 31, 2000 primarily due to a full year of increased staffing that increased salaries and wages, contracted professional fees and certain other general and administrative expenses. Some of the general and administrative expense that had previously been absorbed by our discontinued operations are included in the general and administrative expense classification of our continuing operations. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased to $4,175,891 for the period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to depreciation and amortization of $3,836,788 for the same period last year. The increase of $339,103 primarily relates to depreciation on the cost of acquired software during the year. Depreciation primarily is capitalized software costs resulting from the acquisition of a minority interest in 12
10KSB13th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
BusinessTradeCenter.com and the acquisition of NDSCo.com, as well as from computers and equipment required to run our Internet sites and office furniture and equipment. Depreciation and amortization related to continuing operations increased to $3,836,788 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $319,800 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. Included in depreciation and amortization for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 are $3,265,247 for depreciation of software acquired when we purchased the minority interest in BusinessTradeCenter.com and amortization of $198,538 of goodwill resulting from our acquisition (during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2000) of Walden Remarketing. The balance of depreciation expense resulted from depreciation of our furniture, fixtures, and computer hardware. We also recorded a charge for the loss on disposal of impaired software of $49,122 and $2,261,486 for years ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2002 the loss on impairment of software is a result of writing off old software purchased by the company. The software written off is no longer of value for current or future Company operations. In the prior year ending March 31, 2001, the impaired software was acquired from NDSCo.com as part of the purchase price when we acquired NDSCo on March 31, 2000. This software that assists in dealer-to-dealer Internet exchanges of used vehicles does not fit in our current business plan of remarketing off-lease and program cars. Since we cannot determine when or if we will use the software, we are unable to assess its value and accordingly consider it impaired. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expenses for the year increased $2,908,433 due mainly to an increase in interest expense related to the amortization and accretion on stock issued and warrant costs of $2,678,621. Interest expense also increased $122,924 because of our line of credit with Eagle. For the year ended March 31, 2001, interest expense increased $43,432 over the previous fiscal year because of interest charges on related party debt allocated to continuing operations. BAD DEBT EXPENSE. We did not incur a charge for bad debts from continuing operations for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 or 2000. FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS We have had limited experience to determine if our operations will be subjected to major fluctuations or trends. Historically, the used car market has remained relatively stable as an industry. Industry projections over the next few years indicate there will be an upward trend in used car sales. Vehicles coming off-lease during the next three years are predicted to remain relatively constant as are the availability of program cars. However, there can be no assurance that our sales will parallel industry projections or that industry projections will materialize. FINANCIAL CONDITION ASSETS. Total assets decreased to $6,974,283 at March 31, 2002 from $10,267,582 at March 31, 2001. Total assets declined due to non-cash depreciation and amortization of our software, furniture and equipment, goodwill and write down of impaired software. As a result of our decision to discontinue our wholesale land-based operations, our total assets decreased to $10,267,582 at March 31, 2001, from $20,102,747 at March 31, 2000. This decrease primarily results from the substantial completion of the sale of assets formerly used in our wholesale land-based operations (as is reflected in the following schedule) and our use of cash in funding operations. Total assets also declined due to non-cash depreciation and amortization of our software, furniture and equipment, and goodwill, and the write-off of impaired software. 13

The following table reflects the detail of our net assets from discontinued operations: AUTOTRADECENTER.COM INC. SCHEDULE OF NET ASSETS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS [Download Table] MARCH 31, 2002 MARCH 31, 2001 -------------- -------------- ASSETS Accounts receivable - trade, net $ 26,300 $ 60,659 Inventory -- 28,000 -------------- -------------- Total Assets 26,300 88,659 -------------- -------------- LIABILITIES Accounts payable - trade -- 66,847 -------------- -------------- Total liabilities -- 66,847 -------------- -------------- NET ASSETS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS $ 26,300 $ 21,812 ============== ============== LIABILITIES. Current liabilities at March 31, 2002 increased to $1,562,688 from $446,039 at March 31, 2001, primarily due to the increased borrowing on our line of credit. Our indebtedness under this line of credit was repaid on June 28, 2002 though a loan to us from Autodaq Corporation in connection with our Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Autodaq dated June 28, 2002. See "Anticipated Trends and Plan of Operations-Merger with Autodaq Corporation." STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Stockholders' equity decreased from $9,282,736 at March 31, 2001, to $4,748,395 at March 31. 2002. The decrease primarily resulted from our net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 of $7,902,662 offset by: $467,777 of net proceeds from private placement of common shares in fiscal year 2002; common stock issued for services of $221,794; and the issuance of additional shares to private placement holders and C and D holders of $2,678,620. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, holders of $10,000 and $268,236 of our Series C and D preferred stock (102 and 2,736 shares, respectively) elected to convert such shares to 3,118,010 common shares based on the formulae contained in the terms of the preferred shares. On May 17, 2000, we filed a registration statement to register the resale of the common shares issued or to be issued upon conversion of the Series C and Series D preferred stock. That registration statement has not yet been declared effective. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) was $(849,581) at March 31, 2002, as compared to working capital at March 31, 2001 of $182,556. The decrease of $1,032,137 substantially was due to the increase in borrowing on our line of credit of $968,311 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. For the fiscal ended March 31, 2002, we used cash of $432,631 in our operating activities. The major components of which were our net loss for the period from continuing operations of $7,902,662. Cash primarily was provided by the non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $4,175,891 and non-cash interest expense on warrants and additional stock of $2,678,621 plus the non-cash loss on disposal of impaired assets of $49,122. An additional non-cash expense related to the issuance of stock and options for services valued at $251,971. Other accounts affecting our cash balances included decreases in our prepaid expenses along with increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by an increase in accounts receivable. We used cash of $4,371,599 in our operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, the major components of which were our net losses for the period of $9,060,369 from continuing operations, $323,840 from discontinued operations, and $2,339,445 from the charge off of our discontinued wholesale land-based operations. Cash primarily was provided by the non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $3,836,788, plus the non-cash loss on disposal of impaired assets of $2,261,486. An additional non-cash expense related to the issuance of stock and options for services valued at $299,955. Other accounts affecting our cash balances included cash received from liquidation of assets of discontinued operations of $1,001,354, an additional short-term loan from a related party, and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by an increase in accounts receivable. 14
10KSB15th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, net cash used in operating activities was $742,328. The major component contributing to the cash used in operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 were our net losses for the period of $946,202 and $1,641,551 from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively. Cash primarily was provided by the non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $319,800 and the additional non-cash expense related to the issuance of stock and options for services valued at $351,280. Other accounts affecting our cash balances included cash received from discontinued operations of $1,257,062 and small changes, both positive and negative, to other current assets and liabilities. Our investing activities for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 used cash of $847,808, $1,123,690, and $374,420, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, cash was used primarily for the purchase of computer software required for our e-commerce and Internet operations. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, cash was used primarily for the purchase of computer hardware and software required for business expansion and our e-commerce and Internet operations, and offset by the sale of certain company-owned vehicles. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, we acquired computer software and hardware, company cars, and office furniture and fixtures. For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we supported our cash needs by net borrowings on our line of credit in the amount of $968,311 and proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock and common stock of $130 and $437,599, respectively. Financing activities provided net cash of $1,348,619 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $5,174,734 during the previous year. Increases in cash included $1,452,487 from the proceeds of the sale of 5,865,212 common shares in March 2001, $498,550 in proceeds received from the exercise of previously issued stock options, and additional borrowings of $310,000 from related parties. Our related-party debt of $738,807 was due on April 1, 2002: it has been restructured and is described below at "Anticipated Trends and Plan of Operations." We used $1,112,418 to repay the Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. line of credit that had provided sufficient short-term liquidity and capital to implement our business plan, including the expansion of our now discontinued wholesale land-based operations. The note that evidenced this obligation to Wells Fargo Business Credit bore interest at 1.5% over prime and was extended from its original due date of March 31, 2000 to January 31, 2001. At March 31, 2000, our bank line of credit was $1,112,418. On February 16, 2001 we repaid Wells Fargo Business Credit in full. For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, we supported our cash needs by net borrowings of $158,393 and proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock and common stock of $4,766,341 and $250,000, respectively. ANTICIPATED TRENDS AND PLAN OF OPERATION We intend to continue the development of our Internet based initiatives. We believe that focusing on providing automotive remarketing services via the Internet will improve our long-term prospects for profitability. Internet operations generate a lower amount of revenue, but result in higher profit margins. We anticipate that our agreement with American Honda Finance Corporation will generate revenues for the next one and one-half years. We anticipate the volume of lease vehicles being returned to Honda will remain at approximately the current levels for the remaining term of our contract. However, we anticipate an overall increase in revenues for the ensuing year resulting from the price increase we negotiated in October 2001, plus we anticipate additional revenues from new programs and initiatives currently being introduced to Honda. We expect the revenue generated from our contract with Suzuki to remain at approximately the same level as generated this past year. The Volvo web site, www.volvoride.com, became fully operational in December 2001 and therefore contributed only four months of revenue in our fiscal year ending March 31, 2002; we expect to generate revenue from our Volvo for the entire twelve months of our current fiscal year. Internet vehicle remarketing is currently gaining broader acceptance by consignors charged with the responsibility of disposing of lease returns and other used vehicle inventories. We are attempting to enter into similar contracts with other manufacturers and financial institutions to assist them in remarketing their inventories of used vehicles; however, no such other contracts exist at this time. 15
10KSB16th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
We have sustained operating losses resulting in little tangible net worth at March 31, 2002. However, beginning in December 2001 we took measures to generate positive cash flow and operating profits by (1) increasing revenues through the expansion of our Internet remarketing of off-lease and program vehicles with new customers and developing new products and services for our current customer base, and (2) further reducing our cash requirements for software and website development and continuing to reduce our costs of operations. Additionally, on June 28, 2002, we entered into an agreement to merge with Autodaq Corporation, which is described below. MERGER WITH AUTODAQ On June 28, 2002, we entered into an agreement to merge with Autodaq Corporation ("Autodaq"). Under the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated June 28, 2002 (the "Agreement"), AutoTradeCenter and Autodaq, along with AutoTradeCenter, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ATC Delaware") and AUTC Autodaq Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ("AUTC Autodaq") agreed that upon shareholder approval and completion of certain closing conditions: (1) AutoTradeCenter will reincorporate in Delaware by merging with and into ATC Delaware, with ATC Delaware surviving the merger; and (2) AUTC Autodaq, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATC Delaware, will merge with and into Autodaq, with Autodaq surviving the merger (the "Merger"). Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement and after the completion of the Merger, the current shareholders of AutoTradeCenter will own approximately 27.15% of ATC Delaware's fully-diluted capital stock (including, for purposes of this calculation, shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to ATC Delaware's stock option plan and the warrant issued to an affiliate of Autodaq described below), and the current shareholders of Autodaq will own approximately 63.35% of ATC Delaware's fully-diluted capital stock. Senior management of AutoTradeCenter will receive options to purchase up to an aggregate of 4.5% of ATC Delaware's Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to ATC Delaware's stock plan will constitute the remaining 5% of ATC Delaware's capital stock. The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase and is intended to qualify as tax-free to the shareholders of AutoTradeCenter and Autodaq. The Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2002 and is subject to approval of the shareholders of AutoTradeCenter and Autodaq, as well as other customary closing conditions. Autodaq shareholders holding shares sufficient to approve the Merger delivered voting agreements and proxies in which they agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Merger. The Agreement requires AutoTradeCenter to deliver voting agreements and proxies from shareholders holding shares sufficient to approve the Merger on or before July 19, 2002; AutoTradeCenter satisfied this condition by delivering voting agreements and proxies for shares representing (i) 100% of AutoTradeCenter's Series D Preferred Stock, and (ii) approximately 52% of AutoTradeCenter's Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock). In the event AutoTradeCenter had failed to deliver such voting agreements as previously described, an affiliate of Autodaq could have exercised a warrant convertible into a majority of AutoTradeCenter's capital stock for nominal consideration. Additionally, as part of the Agreement, Autodaq loaned to AutoTradeCenter approximately $1 million, which AutoTradeCenter used to retire its indebtedness under a credit facility with Eagle Capital due on June 30, 2002, to redeem its Series E Preferred Stock, and to terminate a services agreement related to such credit facility. AutoTradeCenter is not required to make payments to Autodaq under the loan prior to the closing of the Merger. The loan is secured by a first priority security interest in all of AutoTradeCenter's assets. As partial consideration for such loan, AutoTradeCenter provided an affiliate of Autodaq with a warrant to purchase shares equal to approximately 5% of AutoTradeCenter's Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of AutoTradeCenter's Common Stock at the time the warrant was issued ($0.061 per share). In connection with the retirement of indebtedness under AutoTradeCenter's credit facility with Eagle Capital and the redemption of AutoTradeCenter's Series E Preferred Stock, Neil Elsey and Chris Arnold resigned as Directors of AutoTradeCenter effective June 28, 2002. As part of the above transactions, AutoTradeCenter also amended and restated the terms of its subordinated promissory note to one of its former founders. As restructured, the note (in the principal amount of $814,253) requires that (i) interest (accruing at 12% per annum from June 28, 2002) will be paid monthly commencing on July 31, 2002, (ii) principal payments of $25,000 will be paid monthly on the last day of each month commencing on January 31, 2003 and continuing through September 30, 2003, and (iii) all remaining principal, and accrued and 16
10KSB17th Page of 53TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
unpaid interest, will be due and payable on September 30, 2003. The note is secured by a security interest in all of AutoTradeCenter's assets, which security interest is subordinated to the security interest granted in connection with the loan from Autodaq to AutoTradeCenter described immediately above. AutoTradeCenter also issued to the note holder a five-year warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of AutoTradeCenter's Common Stock with an exercise price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.125 per share, or (ii) 120% of the daily per share closing price of AutoTradeCenter's Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise of the warrant. Concurrently with the issuance of this warrant, the note holder cancelled existing warrants to purchase shares of AutoTradeCenter's Common Stock. The boards of directors of AutoTradeCenter and Autodaq have determined that, in the event the Merger closes, it will be in the best interest of the combined company to raise additional equity to provide the company with additional capital resources. Therefore, the Agreement contemplates that following the closing of the Merger, certain investors, including August Capital III, L.P. ("August Capital"), a principal investor in Autodaq, will purchase additional shares and warrants of the new parent company (ATC Delaware). Such financing would consist of (i) shares of senior preferred stock of ATC Delaware, for a purchase price of $3.0 - $4.0 million, and (ii) warrants to purchase additional shares of ATC Delaware Common Stock equal to 200% of the number of shares of senior preferred stock purchased. The exercise price for these warrants will equal the fair market value of AutoTradeCenter's Common Stock at the time the senior preferred financing closes, as determined by the board of directors of the new company at the time the senior preferred financing closes. The financing is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the closing of the Merger and ATC Delaware's receipt of commitments for a minimum of $1.0 million from investors other than August Capital. There is no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied or that such financing will close. In the event that the financing does close and the maximum senior preferred shares and warrants which may be offered in such financing are purchased, such shares and warrants would represent approximately 9.52% and 19.05%, respectively, of ATC Delaware's fully-diluted capital stock. In such an event, the ownership of the current shareholders of AutoTradeCenter in ATC Delaware would be reduced from 27.15% to approximately 19.39% upon consummation of such financing. In the event that the Merger does close and the Series E financing does not close immediately following the Merger, the new company will be required to immediately attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of equity, debt financing or other means (all of which would require the approval of certain of its preferred stockholders); there is no assurance that the new company would be successful in raising additional funds. The failure to immediately close the Series E financing or to raise additional funds in another fashion would require the new company to significantly modify its planned operations and could result in the new company filing a Chapter 11 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or taking other similar action to restructure its operations.

Kaiser. o Compensation Committee, consisting of R. Gary McCauley (committee chairman) and David G. Livingston. STOCK OPTION PLAN On August 5, 1997, the shareholders adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan, which provides for the grant of both incentive stock options and non-qualified options to eligible employees, officers, and directors. The option pool is adjusted annually at the beginning of each fiscal quarter to a number equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the end of our last completed fiscal quarter. At March 31, 2002, the number of shares eligible pursuant to the plan was 5,858,436. The plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors or, if there is no committee, by the board of directors. A registration statement on Form S-8 was filed on May 15, 2000 registering the underlying shares of the options granted. At March 31, 2002, 2,186,158 options had vested and were eligible for exercise at a total exercise price of $1,246,110. The plan provides that disinterested directors, defined as non-employee directors or persons who are not directors of one of our subsidiaries, will receive automatic option grants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock upon their appointment or election to the board of directors. Options shall have an option price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date and shall have a minimum vesting period of one year from the date of grant. Each option granted under the plan will be evidenced by a written option agreement between our company and the optionee. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The option price of any incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant of the option; provided, however, that any incentive stock option granted under the plan to a person owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of our common stock will have an option price of not less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant of the incentive stock option. Each non-qualified stock option granted under the plan will be at a price no less than 85% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant thereof, except that the automatic stock option grants to disinterested directors will be at a price equal to the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The exercise period of options granted under the plan may not exceed ten years from the date of grant thereof. Incentive stock options granted to a person owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the common stock cannot be exercisable for more than five years. No portion of any option will be exercisable prior to the first anniversary of the grant date. An option may not be exercised unless the optionee then is an employee, officer, or director of our company or its subsidiaries, and unless the optionee has remained continuously as an employee, officer, or director of our company since the date of grant of the option. If the optionee ceases to be an employee, officer, or director of our company or any subsidiary other than by reason of death, disability, retirement, or for cause, all options granted to such optionee, fully vested to such optionee but not yet exercised, will terminate 90 days after the date the optionee ceases to be an employee, officer, or director. All options, which are not vested to an optionee, under the conditions stated in this paragraph for which employment ceases, will immediately terminate on the date the optionee ceases employment or association. 21

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

In addition, promissory notes for $1,200,000 owed to us by the land-based operations were assigned to Pinnacle Financial Corporation, a private company owned by Mr. Moldenhauer. 25

Pinnacle Financial Corporation in turn reduced the outstanding principal balance of our promissory note to Pinnacle by $1,200,000 and extended the principal installment, originally due December 31, 2000, to January 30, 2001. As of February 16, 2001, Automotive Disposition assumed a portion of the note owed to Pinnacle Financial Corporation. The remaining portion was paid with a new note to Pinnacle Financial Corporation in the amount of $366,200 due April 1, 2002. The older note due April 1, 2002 was paid with a consolidated note due June 30, 2002 and the consolidated note was amended with a new note to Mr. Moldenhauer due September 30, 2003. As described above, we originally acquired the New Mexico, Texas, and Oregon operations with earn-out agreements, which enabled the managers of these operations to earn shares and options if certain performance goals were met. We agreed to place a total of 805,465 shares of our common stock in escrow to satisfy, in full, our obligations under these agreements. For the year ended March 31, 2001, 59,177 shares were earned and issued to the appropriate party. In the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, 430,675 of our common shares held in escrow for the management of our former subsidiary in Oregon were exchanged for 9% of our interest in Automotive Disposition Management thereby reducing our interest therein to approximately 7%. In January 2002, Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc. terminated its association with Automotive Disposition. In March 2002, we entered into a further agreement with the management of our former subsidiary in San Antonio and Automotive Disposition whereby we fixed the number of earn-out shares for San Antonio management at 261,034 for the three remaining years of our prior agreement with them, and cancelled 54,784 shares of common stock remaining in escrow. In addition, we received cash of $1,000 and returned to Automotive Disposition the shares representing the approximate 7% interest in Automotive Disposition. We no longer have any interest in Automotive Disposition. FUTURE TRANSACTIONS. All future affiliated transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party. A majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors will approve future affiliated transactions and forgiveness of loans. We believe that all loans made to affiliates by us meet the foregoing standard. All loans to affiliates made by us carry an interest rate of 12% per annum. This is the same interest rate paid by us on all notes payable to both affiliates and outside third parties. ITEM 13. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

AUTOTRADECENTER.COM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS AutoTradeCenter.com Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Arizona on July 10, 1997 and began operations on September 22, 1997. In December 1998, the Company changed its name from Auto Network USA, Inc. to Auto Network Group, Inc. In April 1999, the Company again changed its name to AutoTradeCenter.com Inc. to more properly reflect its future direction as an Internet based wholesaler and remarketer of used automobiles. The wholesale automobile business principally involves activities related to redistributing used vehicles, typically acquired from franchised and independent auto dealers, lessors, banks and other finance companies and reselling them to other franchised and independent dealers. Prior to December 31, 2000 the Company engaged in these activities either as a fee-based service or as a principal. As a principal (land-based operations), the Company performed these services through independent wholesale brokers. Each broker bought, titled, and sold vehicles in the name of the Company. In November 2000, the Company decided to discontinue all of its wholesale land-based operations in order to concentrate efforts on remarketing used vehicles utilizing the Internet. Accordingly, it sold its wholesale land-based subsidiaries located in New Mexico, Texas, and Oregon on December 29, 2000, and transferred ownership of substantially all vehicles owned by its Scottsdale, Arizona operations on February 28, 2001 to certain of its former brokers. The Company's Internet operations facilitate the exchange (remarketing) of used vehicles from lessors, captive and other finance companies, banks, and franchised and independent auto dealers, to other franchised and independent dealers. The Company, generally, earns fees from these exchanges, utilizing its proprietary software. The Company currently has three contracts to remarket late model off-lease and program vehicles to specified franchised dealers. The Company currently does not act as principal in its Internet business. AutoTradeCenter.com Inc. stock is traded on the NASD Bulletin Board under the symbol AUTC.OB. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Auto Network Group of Arizona, Inc. ("ANET-AZ") Pinnacle Dealer Services, Inc. ("PDS"), National Dealer Services ("NDSCo"), AutoTradeCenter Remarketing Services Inc. formerly Walden Remarketing Services, Inc. ("Walden Remarketing"), and BusinessTradeCenter.com Inc. ("BTC"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Information regarding the discontinued operations of former subsidiaries; Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc. ("ANET-NM"), Auto Network Group Northwest, Inc. ("ANET-NW"), and Auto Group of SanAntonio, Ltd. ("ANET-SA"), is contained herein. Information regarding two other land-based subsidiaries that currently have no assets or liabilities, Auto-Network Group of Eastern PA, Inc. ("ANET-PA") and Auto Network Group of Denver, Inc. ("ANET-Den") also is contained herein. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified or restated to conform to the current year presentation. 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 F-8

AUTOTRADECENTER.COM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH ITEMS Cash and cash items include all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. At times, cash balances held at financial institutions were in excess of federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced by the Company. DEPRECIATION METHOD Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. SOFTWARE CAPITALIZATION AND WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS The Company follows Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, in determining the amount of software costs developed in-house to be capitalized. The Company applies Emerging Issues Task Force 00-02, Accounting for Website Development Costs, in determining the amount of website development costs to be capitalized. These standards require capitalization of certain direct development costs associated with internal use software and website development costs. Costs to be capitalized include internal and external direct project costs including, among others; payroll and labor, material, and services. These costs are included in software and are being amortized over a period not to exceed three years beginning when the software is substantially ready for use. Costs incurred on new projects, projects in a preliminary phase and projects that contract negotiations have not begun, as well as maintenance, and training costs are charged to expense as incurred. AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES Goodwill and other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging up to 10 years. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of the cost of its goodwill based upon a review of projected undiscounted cash flows of the related operating entity. These cash flow estimates are prepared and reviewed by management in connection with the Company's annual long-range planning process. As of March 31, 2002, there had been no write down of goodwill (See information regarding reclassification and restatement of goodwill- Note B). The Company intends to adopt Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective during its first quarter ending June 30, 2002. Management believes, that with its pending merger as disclosed in Note Q to these financial statements, that the Company may experience a resulting loss in value to this intangible asset of goodwill. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue and the corresponding cost of revenue are recognized monthly. Customers are billed a per vehicle sales fee for vehicles sold while listed on the Company's hosted web sites. These sales are recorded in trade receivables until cash is received. The Company has implemented the requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, which did not have a material impact on revenue recognition in the financial statements. F-9

AUTOTRADECENTER.COM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED): EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share have been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computations for the years ending March 31, 2000 and 2001, exclude 430,465 shares held in escrow pending certain earn-out provisions. For the year ending March 31, 2002 agreement was reached on the earn-out provisions and the shares issued are included in the weighted number of shares outstanding. Basic and diluted earrings per share are the same for all years presented, as the Company reported losses for these years and a computation of fully diluted earnings would be anti-dilutive. VALUATION OF STOCK OPTIONS The Company uses the intrinsic value method for valuing stock options issued to employees. The Company uses the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the options or warrants issued, whichever is more readily measurable, to determine the expense to record for options or warrants issued to non-employees. INCOME TAXES The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based upon the difference between financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. SEGMENT AND CONCENTRATION REPORTING The Company is required to report information about its operating segments, as well as related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. At March 31, 2001, Internet remarketing is the Company's only operating segment. For the years ending March 31, 2002 and 2001, 84% and 100% respectively, of the Company's revenue was earned from its contract with American Honda Finance Corporation. NOTE B - RECLASSIFICATION AND RESTATEMENT OF GOODWILL When the Company acquired NDSCo on March 31, 2000, $2,039,123 of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill was assigned a useful life of 10 years. Upon further consideration the Company reclassified and restated this amount from goodwill to cost of software to more succinctly categorize the nature of the assets purchased. During the quarter ended December 31, 2000, as a result of the changes in its business plan including the disposition of its dealer-to-dealer land based business, the Company further determined that it could no longer estimate the useful life, if any, of this software. Accordingly, the carrying cost of this asset was considered impaired and written off in full during the year ended March 31, 2001. When the Company acquired the remaining 45% minority interest of BTC on March 23, 2000, $9,374,550 of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill with an estimated life of 10 years. Upon further consideration, the Company reclassified and restated this amount from goodwill to cost of software to more succinctly categorize the nature of the assets purchased. Effective for the year ended March 31, 2000, the Company changed its estimate of the useful life of this asset from 10 years to 3 years. The reclassified and restated consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2000, and the consolidated and condensed statements of operation for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, reflects both of these reclassifications and restatements.

AUTOTRADECENTER.COM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 NOTE C - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On November 30, 2000, the Company formalized its decision to exit its land-based operations no later than March 31, 2001, the end of its fiscal year. The disposition of the land-based operations represents the disposal of a business segment under APB Opinion No. 30. Accordingly, results of these operations have been classified as discontinued and prior periods have been restated, including the reallocation of fixed overhead charges to both business segments. Information regarding the discontinued operations of former subsidiaries; Auto Network Group of New Mexico, Inc. ("ANET-NM"), Auto Network Group Northwest, Inc. ("ANET-NW"), and Auto Group of SanAntonio, Ltd. ("ANET-SA"), is contained herein. Information regarding two other land-based subsidiaries that currently have no assets or liabilities, Auto-Network Group of Eastern PA, Inc. ("ANET-PA") and Auto Network Group of Denver, Inc. ("ANET-Den") also is contained herein.

The Company, in its fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, charged an impairment loss of $49,122 on the disposal of software previously acquired since it was determined that it had no future value to the Company and its activities.

Diluted earnings per common share assume that any dilutive convertible preferred shares and convertible debt outstanding during each year were converted at the first available conversion date, with related interest and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which market price exceeds exercise price, to the extent they are not anti-dilutive.

PDS provides financing programs for dealers who purchase vehicles from the Company. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) was $47,813 and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years. At December 31, upon its decision, to close all land-based operations, the Company charged the balance of the PDS unamortized goodwill of $36,657 to loss on discontinuance of land-based operations.

The option prices range from $0.10 to $3.16. 2000 EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN: On November 29, 2000, the board of directors adopted the 2000 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, which provides for granting stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and deferred stock, bonus stock, and other stock-based awards to officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors. In November 2001, the board of directors recinded the plan. OTHER STOCK OPTION DISCLOSURES: SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") requires the Company to disclose pro forma information regarding option grants made to its employees. SFAS No. 123 specifies certain valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation charges that are included in the pro forma results below. These amounts have not been reflected in the Company's Statement of Operations, because "APB 25", "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," specifies that no compensation charge arises when the stock price of the options granted to the Company's employees is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock price at the date of grant. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumptions: [Enlarge/Download Table] Year ended March 31, ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Expected dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Risk free interest rate 2.10% 5.74% 6.02% Expected volitility 99% 168% 166% Expected life (in months) 22 16 32 F-20

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 NOTE M - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED): The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. 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 estimates, in management's opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's options. The weighted average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the years ending March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $0.10, $1.07, and $0.80 per share, respectively.

AUTOTRADECENTER.COM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 NOTE Q - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED): On June 28, 2002, the Company, in conjunction with the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Autodaq Corporation (see below), obtained a 12% loan from Autodaq of approximately $1 million, which AutoTradeCenter.com used to retire its indebtedness under a credit facility due to Eagle Capital Group, LLC on June 30, 2002 and to terminate a services agreement related to such credit facility. The Company is not required to make payments to Autodaq under the loan prior to the closing of the merger. The loan is due in full on November 30, 2002 and is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company. As partial consideration for such loan, the Company provided an affiliate of Autodaq with a warrant to purchase shares equal to approximately 5% of the Company's common stock on a fully-diluted basis at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock. MERGER On June 28, 2002 the Company signed a definitive agreement to merge with Autodaq Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company's shareholders will receive shares of common stock and preferred stock in a newly-formed Delaware company, AutoTradeCenter, Inc. Autodaq shareholders will receive shares of common stock and various classes of preferred stock in AutoTradeCenter, Inc. As a result of the foregoing transactions, following the merger the current shareholders of AutoTradeCenter.com Inc. will own approximately 27.15% of the new company's fully-diluted capital stock (including, for purposes of this calculation, shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the company's stock option plan), and the current shareholders of Autodaq will own approximately 63.35% of the new company's capital stock. Senior management of AutoTradeCenter.com will receive options to purchase up to an aggregate of 4.5% of the new entity's common stock. Shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the company's stock plan will constitute the remaining 5% of the company's capital stock. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase and is intended to qualify as tax-free to the shareholders of AutoTradeCenter.com and Autodaq. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2002. The merger is subject to approval of the shareholders of AutoTradeCenter.com and Autodaq, as well as other customary closing conditions. Autodaq and AutoTradeCenter shareholders holding shares sufficient to approve the merger delivered to the respective counter party voting agreements and proxies in which they agreed to vote their shares in favor of the merger. Concurrent with the signing of the merger document, the Company signed a continuing guarantee for the new financing (convertible note) obtained by Autodaq for $1,500,000, which was partially used for the loan to the Company mentioned above. In addition to the interim financing as described above, the Company has determined that following the closing of the merger, it will be in the best interest of the combined company to raise additional equity to provide the company with additional capital resources. Therefore, the merger agreement contemplates that following the closing of the merger, certain investors will purchase additional shares and warrants of the new parent company (ATC Delaware). Such financing would consist of (i) shares of senior preferred stock of ATC Delaware, for a purchase price of $3.0 - $4.0 million, and (ii) warrants to purchase additional shares of ATC Delaware Common Stock equal to 200% of the number of shares of senior preferred stock purchased. The exercise price for these warrants will equal the fair market value of AutoTradeCenter's Common Stock at the time the senior preferred financing closes, as determined by the board of directors of the new company at the time the senior preferred financing closes. In the event that the financing does close and the maximum senior preferred shares and warrants which may be offered in such financing are purchased, such shares and warrants would represent approximately 9.52% and 19.05%, respectively, of ATC Delaware's fully-diluted capital stock. In such an event, the ownership of the current shareholders of AutoTradeCenter in ATC Delaware would be reduced from 27.15% to approximately 19.39% upon consummation of such financing. F-24
