ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS BACKGROUND General Overthrust Oil Royalty Corporation (the "Company") was originally incorporated in Colorado on June 11, 1981. The Company was organized primarily to acquire producing and non-producing overriding royalty interests and working interests in oil and gas properties and to organize, sell and manage limited partnerships formed for the purpose of acquiring such interests. The Company became a public company in April 1982 through a registered public offering of its common stock (the "Common Stock"). The Company had acquired working interests in active drilling or exploration areas. The Company explored for, produced and sold oil and natural gas. The Company's exploration and development efforts had been conducted for the most part in drilling prospects originated by others in the industry. The Company typically entered into arrangements with industry partners in which it would retain less than 100% of the working interest in these prospects. However, the Company was unable to establish consistent oil and gas production. The Company had also acquired working and overriding royalty interests under nonproducing leases or inactive exploration areas where the Company believed it was likely that exploration activity would take place in the near future. However, due to unfavorable market conditions, many of such leases were canceled for nonpayment of delay rentals. Delay rentals are annual payments by the lessee to a lessor under a oil and gas lease to defer its obligation to drill a well during the primary term of such lease. If the lessee fails to make timely payments of the delay rentals, the lease expires. The Chapter 11 Filing On January 21, 1986, the Company filed a voluntary petition of bankruptcy pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah (the "Court"). Roger H. Nelson was appointed as Trustee on March 12, 1987. On December 20, 1993, the Court confirmed the Trustee's Plan of Reorganization for the Company (the "Plan of Reorganization"). The Plan of Reorganization Halter Capital Corporation, a Texas corporation ("HCC") acquired 2,219,905 shares, or approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (this number reflects the one for 600 reverse split of the Common Stock discussed below), pursuant to a letter agreement between the Trustee and HCC. As consideration for such Common Stock, HCC paid to the Trustee $70,000 and agreed that it would place a minimum of $1,000,000 in net assets in the reorganized Company. It was the understanding of HCC and the Trustee that HCC would fulfill its obligation to place such assets in the Company by causing the Company to acquire a viable business enterprise. In the alternative, HCC could place $1,000,000 of assets in the Company pending such an acquisition. The $70,000 was used by the Trustee for the payment of certain administrative and priority claims. All cash assets or receivables of the Company as of the eleventh day following the date the Court entered the order confirming the Plan of Reorganization (the "Effective Date") remained property of the reorganized Company for use by the Trustee in payment of certain administrative and priority claims. The remaining assets were six working interests in oil and gas properties in Weld County, Colorado, and certain oil and gas leases and overriding royalties owned by the Company. Effective May 1, 1994, the Company transferred such assets to Hunter Resources, Inc. 2
10SB12G/A3rd Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
Terms of Transaction with Hunter Resources, Inc. Due to the fact that the business purpose of the Company was to enter into an acquisition or merger transaction with a business with significant growth potential, whereby its shareholders would benefit by owning an interest in a viable business enterprise, the Company needed to sell any properties it may have owned. Based on the experience of management that any potential acquisition or merger candidate would require that there be no illiquid assets in the Company prior to the transaction, the Company sought a buyer for its few remaining assets. The Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Hunter Resources, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Hunter") whereby Hunter acquired all of the Company's right, title and interest in the six working interests in oil and gas properties in Weld County, Colorado, and certain oil and gas leases and overriding royalties in consideration of $20,000. This transaction was not subject to review or approval by the Court. A one for 600 reverse split was effected with respect to the 44,398,100 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date. Certain of the Company's creditors received a pro rata share of 129,494 post-reverse split shares of Common Stock. While awaiting an acquisition of a viable business enterprise, HCC placed in the Company marketable securities having an aggregate market value of $1,000,000 and satisfied its obligations under the Plan of Reorganization. On February 15, 1995, the Court entered its final order discharging the Company. In connection with the acquisition of KnowledgeBroker, Inc. ("KBI") discussed below, HCC caused the Company to re-acquire the 2,219,905 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the return of the marketable securities having an aggregate market value of $1,000,000. After the completion of this transaction, HCC had no continuing obligation to contribute assets as well as no equity interest. The Company had no significant assets or business operations at that time. Reincorporation in Nevada Simultaneously with the acquisition of KBI, the Company was reincorporated as a Nevada corporation by means of a merger of the Company with and into a newly-formed Nevada corporation, KBI Acquisition, Inc., on April 28, 1995. The reincorporation had the effect of a two for one reverse split in the Company's Common Stock. The Company is now known as KnowledgeBroker, Inc. Acquisition of KnowledgeBroker, Inc. Prior to the acquisition of KBI, the business purpose of the Company was to enter into an acquisition or merger transaction with a business with significant growth potential, whereby its shareholders would benefit by owning an interest in a viable business enterprise. Since the Company had no business operations, its principal potential for profits came solely from operations it would receive in an acquisition or merger transaction. Because the Company is a publicly held corporation with a dispersed shareholder base, a transaction with the Company would enable a privately held entity to become a publicly held corporation. The Company located such a candidate, KBI, a privately held company that was incorporated in California on March 27, 1992. The Company entered into a stock exchange agreement by and among the Company, KBI and certain shareholders of KBI whereby the Company acquired approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of KBI in exchange for an aggregate of 8,536,958 shares of Common Stock. On May 23, 1995, KBI was subsequently merged with and into the Company. The former shareholders 3
10SB12G/A4th Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
of KBI received 5.64 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of common stock of KBI owned. After the consummation of the merger, the former KBI shareholders owned 95.84% of the Company's common stock and the balance is owned by the remaining shareholders. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES HELD BY FORMER SHAREHOLDERS OF KBI All of the shares of the Company's common stock owned by the former shareholders of KBI are "restricted securities" and under certain circumstances may in the future be sold only in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Rule 144 provides, among other things, that persons holding restricted securities for a period of two years may each sell in brokerage transactions every three months an amount equal to 1% of the Company' outstanding shares or the weekly reported volume of trading during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice of proposed sale, whichever is greater. All of the shares held by former KBI shareholders are not eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 until May 23, 1997. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of such shares or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the Company's market prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Company's shares and could also impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY'S CURRENT BUSINESS The following description will refer to the Company's business after its acquisition of KBI and the subsequent merger of KBI with and into the Company. Except where otherwise indicated, all references to share amounts of Common Stock reflect the one for 600 reverse split effected pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization and the effective reverse split resulting from the reincorporation. The Company is a supplier of knowledge distribution service and technology and provides a full range of technical computer support products and services to large corporate workplaces, small businesses and individual users.

Marketing and Distribution The Company markets HelpNet 800/900 to large corporate workplaces, small businesses and individual users. The Company markets its support products to corporations with customer support divisions, software and hardware OEMs and end users across all business segments. In addition, the Company has begun to distribute its support products to the retail market. During 1995, the Company added over 30 Value Added Resellers (VAR's) representing KBI's software product and services to the market. These include companies such as IBM and AT&T. The Company uses sales personnel and also makes various arrangements with outside parties to market and distribute HelpNet 800/900 and its support products. The Company is also currently exploring additional retail opportunities through the Internet and other on-line services, although the Company has no commitments regarding such opportunities at the present time. Customers For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, no single customer accounted for greater than 10% of revenues. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, AST Research, Inc. and ACER America Corporation accounted for approximately 68% and 14%, respectively, of the Company's total sales. For the three months ended March 31, 1996, MCI Telecommunications accounted for approximately 40% of the Company's total sales. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Competition The Company believes that its principal competitor with respect to its KnowledgeBase support products is ServiceWare Corporation, in addition to several less significant competitors. The Company believes that its competition for HelpNet 800/900 is fragmented and consists of various small competitors. With respect to its ASK.ME HelpBases, the Company believes its most direct competition consists of various printed instructional manuals. Certain of the Company's competitors may have greater financial resources and more effective marketing and sales methods than the Company. The Company believes it competes effectively by using the system of developing proprietary, problem-solving information through handling over 500,000 HelpNet 800/900 support calls. In addition to improving the quality of such information, the Company believes that this efficient process allows it to price its products competitively and to anticipate new markets and distribution channels for its products. 6

Employees As of March 31, 1996, the Company had a total of approximately 53 employees . None of the employees are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that it has good relations with its employees . Intellectual Property The Company does not currently hold any patents, trademarks or licenses. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The term the "Company," as used in this section, includes KBI prior to its transaction with the Company. Overthrust Oil Royalty Corporation had no operations during the year ended December 31, 1994 and through the date of the transaction with KnowledgeBroker, Inc. The Company began operations in mid 1992. The Company has experienced significant percentage and real growth in revenues since its inception although the Company did experience a decline in revenue and net income from 1994 to 1995. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to grow at the same rate and that the same level of net income relative to revenues will continue to be generated in the future. The Company's limited operating history makes the prediction of future operating results difficult or impossible. Future operating results will depend on many factors, including the demand for the Company's services and products, competitive pressures including price competition, technological advancements and the ability to contain and properly manage costs. Management believes that the Company will continue to expand through internal growth, the acquisition of related businesses and general growth in the overall market in future years. All significant costs incurred for product design and development from the point that technological feasibility is determined up to the point that the product is available to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are capitalized and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the technology. Costs for product maintenance, including conversions to different operating systems and customer support, are charged to expense as incurred. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION The following table sets forth summary financial information as of dates and for the periods indicated. The financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were derived from the Company's audited financial statements. Effective April 1, 1994, the Company terminated its S corporation election. The resulting proforma summary financial information adjusts actual results to present the Company as if it had been a C corporation for the full year ended 1994. The financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 is unaudited. The following information should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere herein. 7

REVENUES Total revenues decreased from $2,552,000 during 1994 to $1,967,000 during 1995. The components comprising revenues changed significantly with software sales comprising 52% of total revenues in 1995 as compared to 11% of total revenues in 1994. During 1995, much of the Company's management time and attention focused on its merger and shift to a public company status, with a resultant negative impact on revenues. Software sales however continued to grow in accordance with managements plans to continue to pursue the support product portion of the business. Management was able to renew its focus on day to day operations in the fourth quarter of 1995 and anticipates improved sales of support services as well as continued growth in software sales in 1996. Total revenues increased from approximately $497,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to approximately $627,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, representing a 26% increase over 1995. This increase in revenue reflects the Company's rising software sales, offset by the decrease in support desk service revenues. The increase in software sales is the result of management's aggressive expansion efforts in product sales. The decrease in support desk services is largely the result of the loss of a significant client in early 1995. This client accounted for approximately 66% of revenue during the four months ended April 30, 1995, and at that time made the decision to take the support desk function in-house. The Company intends to continue to add clients, and diversify as necessary to reduce the impact and importance of significant clients. This process includes proposals to potential customers and increased marketing efforts. Currently all of the Company's clients are serviced in the United States. Support desk service contracts are typically entered into on a month to month basis. The Company anticipates expanding in the near term into international markets. The Company intends on entering into these markets through acquisition to be financed through equity and cash, or through the use of commissioned agents and/or joint ventures. Management believes that support desk services will continue in the medium term as the more significant portion of the business although management intends to continue its efforts to expand the product sales portion of the business as well. OPERATING EXPENSES Total operating expenses increased from $1,146,000 during 1994 to $1,981,000 during 1995. A significant portion of the increase results from expenditures which are considered to be non-recurring type items which include $366,000 incurred in connection with a litigation settlement. Additionally, $223,000 of the provision for doubtful accounts relates primarily to allowances on two receivable balances currently in dispute. The Company has reserved for these receivable balances but is actively pursuing collection of these amounts. Direct personnel cost of support desk services as a percentage of support desk services revenue for the years ended 1995 and 1994 are 61% and 36%, respectively. The increase in cost as a percentage of revenues results primarily from up front costs incurred in connection with one significant account and the lag time in reducing personnel as revenues decreased. Selling, general and administrative expenses during 1995 increased by approximately 23% over 1994. This increase relates in part to an increase in marketing, legal and professional expenses due to the Company's continuing efforts to improve its infrastructure and thereby appropriately position itself for future growth. Specifically, legal and professional fees increased from $53,000 in 1994 to $97,000 in 1995, an increase of 83%. In addition, commission expenses have increased over the prior year due to an improved sales incentive program. Salaries and related expenses continue to be the major component of operating expenses, representing approximately 46% and 64% of total operating expenses during 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decline in salaries as a percentage of operating expenses results from the larger component of software sales which is not as personnel intensive as the support desk service portion of the business. 9
10SB12G/A10th Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
As a result of the repositioning of the Company's non-recurring expenses, and other items discussed above, the Company incurred a loss before income taxes of $583,000 in 1995 as compared to a profit of $599,000 before income taxes in 1994. After adding back the litigation settlement and related expenses and the provision for doubtful accounts (as described above), the Company generated a small profit before income taxes during 1995. During 1994 and 1995, the Company generated combined revenues and net income (using proforma net income for 1994) of $4,519,000 and $325,000, respectively. Direct personnel cost of support desk services as a percentage of support desk services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are 45% and 29%, respectively. This increase in cost as a percentage of revenues results primarily from up front costs incurred in connection with one significant account added in 1996. These costs are expected to sustain a more constant rate as the level of service demand which drives revenues also impacts the number of personnel and related hours and compensation required to support the service provided. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by approximately 14% for the quarter March 31, 1996 over the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Salaries and related expenses continue to be the major component of direct costs and selling, general, and administrative costs representing approximately 48% and 62% of total costs and expenses during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES As previously discussed, the Company terminated its S Corporation election effective April 1, 1994. Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The cumulative effective of adopting Statement No. 109 was not material. The financial information presented earlier includes the effect of accounting for income taxes under the provisions of Statement No. 109. The income tax rate for each of the periods presented other than for the year ended December 31, 1995 approximates 34% as there are no significant permanent differences for financial income tax reporting and Federal income tax reporting purposes. During 1995, the income tax rate was approximately 88% which results primarily from compensation expense deductions for Federal income tax purposes for the difference between the market value and exercise price of stock options exercised during 1995. This amount is not charged to operations for financial reporting purposes. For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company utilized the benefit of net operating losses previously generated. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through capital contributions and subsequently through cash generated from operating activities exercise of stock options and warrants granted and the issuance of common stock for cash. The Company used cash in operations during 1995 of $98,000. The Company generated net cash from operations of $292,000 during 1994. During 1995, trade receivables, net of increases in the allowance for doubtful accounts, did not change significantly. In addition, the Company generated an income tax receivable of $168,000 resulting from the carryback of net operating losses. This increase was offset by increases in accounts payable and other current liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased significantly from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 due primarily to the timing of payment of outstanding invoices and the accrual of a litigation settlement including legal expenses of $366,000, offset partially by the payment of income taxes and a decrease in the cash overdraft position. Days sales in accounts receivable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 amounted to 114 and 57, respectively. Through March 31, 1996, the Company had collected approximately 52% of net accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 1995. The Company does not currently anticipate that it will experience significant problems in collecting substantially all of the unreserved accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 1995. The Company does business with financially stable credit worthy customers and believes that additional customers added in the future will not significantly affect collectability of accounts receivable. 10

During 1995 and 1994, the Company used $29,000 and $131,000, respectively in its investing activities. The 1995 expenditures were for property and equipment. During 1994, the Company used $81,000 for purchases of property, equipment and software, and $50,000 for the purchase of marketable securities. The Company expects to continue to purchase property, equipment and software as it continues to grow. These additions will be funded by operations, bank financing, collection of notes receivable, and/or sales of common stock. The Company's principal commitments consist of its operating facility lease and other office equipment leases. The Company used and generated cash from financing activities of $70,000 and $52,000, during 1995 and 1994, respectively. The cash generated in 1995 resulted from the sale of common stock amounting to $135,000 and the increase in the line of credit of $30,000. The cash generated in 1994 resulted from the increase in its cash overdraft. The Company used $7,000 and $23,000 for payments on long-term debt and shareholder loans during 1995 and 1994, respectively. In addition, during 1995, the Company used $157,000 to reduce its cash overdraft position and purchased treasury stock for $49,000 in 1994. The Company expects to collect during 1996 the $788,995 in notes receivable related to the options exercised at the end of 1995. The Company used cash in its operations of $99,000 and $81,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The use of cash resulted from net income generated offset primarily by increases in trade accounts receivable and payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 1996, and payment of income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1995. Accounts receivable increased significantly from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996, corresponding to increases in sales to a significant customer. Accounts payable declined significantly from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996 due primarily to payment of up front costs incurred for a significant new customer. Days sales in accounts receivable at March 31, 1996 and 1995 amounted to 74 and 68, respectively. The Company does not currently anticipate that it will experience significant problems in collecting substantially all of the accounts receivable outstanding at March 31, 1996. The Company believes that additional customers added in the future will not significantly affect collections of accounts receivable. The Company used cash for investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 amounting to $16,222 and $5,753, respectively, to acquire equipment and software. The Company's principal commitments consist of its operating facility lease and other office equipment leases. The Company generated cash from financial activities of $43,790 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from the issuance of stock through stock options and warrants exercised. The Company used cash of $156,977 during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to reduce the cash overdraft. The Company used $30,000 and $960 for payments on long-term debt and lines of credit during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company established a line of credit with a maximum facility of $150,000. As of March 31, 1996 the full amount was available. The Company is also in the process of raising capital through the issuance of common shares in connection with the exercise of stock option previously granted by the Company. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), was issued. This statement requires the fair value of stock options and other stock-based compensation issued to employees to either be included as compensation expense in the income statement, or the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of such compensation expense to be disclosed in the footnotes to the Company's financial statements commencing with the Company's 1996 fiscal year. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 123 on a disclosure basis only. As such, implementation of SFAS 123 is not expected to impact the Company's balance sheet or statement of operations. GENERAL At present, the Company's business is not seasonal. As the Company continues to grow into retail, 11
10SB12G/A12th Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
seasonality of business may begin to impact the Company. During the year ended 1994, the Company purchased 187,032 shares of its stock for $49,145. All of these shares were purchased from one shareholder in connection with a single transaction. The Company does not expect to continue to purchase large amounts of shares back into treasury. ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The Company's main operating facility is located in Irving, Texas. The Irving facility covers approximately 3,400 square feet and the monthly rent is $1,360. The lease commenced October 1, 1995 and is for a term of five years. The Company's principal executive offices are located in Reno, Nevada and it also has operations in San Jose and Irvine, California. ITEM 4.

1995 STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN As a performance incentive and in order to encourage ownership of Common Stock, the Company has adopted its 1995 Stock Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). 900,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of options or the grant of restricted stock awards. As of August 7, 1995, the Company had granted options to acquire an aggregate of 607,750 shares of Common Stock, none of which had been exercised. Unless extended or earlier terminated, the Plan will terminate on the day prior to the tenth anniversary of its effective date. The Plan is intended to qualify for favorable treatment under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder ("Rule 16b-3"). The Plan provides for the grant of "incentive stock options," as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), nonqualified stock options and restricted stock awards (collectively referred to as "Awards"). The Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"), which will consist of two or more directors of the Company who are deemed "disinterested" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3. The Committee has, subject to the terms of the Plan, the sole authority to grant Awards under the Plan (other than to members of the Committee), to construe and interpret the Plan and to make all other determinations and take any and all actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All of the Company's employees, the members of the Committee and advisors are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, but only employees of the Company are eligible to receive incentive stock options. Options will be exercisable during the period specified in each option agreement and will be exercisable in accordance with a vesting schedule to be designated by the Committee. Restricted stock awards will give the recipient the right to receive a specified number of shares of Common Stock contingent upon remaining a Company employee for a specified period, as determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the provisions of any option agreement or restricted stock agreement, options will become immediately exercisable and all restrictions will immediately lapse with respect to any award of restricted stock in the event of a change or threatened change in control of the Company and in the event of certain mergers and reorganizations of the Company. No option will remain exercisable later than ten years after the date of grant. In addition, options may be subject to early termination within a designated period following the optionee's cessation of service with the Company. The aggregate fair market value of Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. The exercise price for incentive stock options granted under the Plan may be no less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (or 110% in the case of incentive stock options granted to employees owning more than 10% of the Common Stock). The exercise price for nonqualified stock options granted under the Plan will be in the discretion of the Committee. The exercise price for any option may be paid (I) in cash, (ii) by certified or cashier's check, (iii) if permitted by the Committee, in shares of Common Stock valued at the then fair market value thereof, (iv) if permitted by the Committee, by cash or certified or cashier's check for the par value of the shares plus a promissory note for the balance of the purchase price, which note must provide for full personal liability of the maker and will contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may approve, including without limitation the right to repay the note partially or wholly with Common Stock, (v) by delivery of a copy of irrevocable instructions from the participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the shares purchased upon exercise of the option or to pledge them as collateral for a loan and 15
10SB12G/A16th Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price or (vi) in any other form of valid consideration, as permitted by the Committee in its discretion. The Plan provides that, immediately and automatically upon his initial election or appointment to the Board of Directors, each non-employee director will receive a nonqualified stock option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, each non-employee director will receive a nonqualified stock option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders of the Company subsequent to his initial election as a director by the stockholders of the Company. Each such option (I) entitles the non-employee director to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, (ii) is immediately exercisable and (iii) will have a term of ten years. Except for such automatic grants, non-employee directors will not be eligible to receive Awards under the Plan. Summary of Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to Incentive Stock Options No taxable income is realized by a participant and no tax deduction is available to the Company upon either the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If a participant holds the shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option for more than one year after the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the incentive stock option and more than two years after the date of the grant of the incentive stock option (the "holding period"), the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized upon the sale of the shares will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss and no deduction will be available to the Company. If the shares are transferred before the expiration of the holding period, the participant will realize ordinary income and the Company will be entitled to a deduction on the portion of the gain, if any, equal to the difference between the incentive stock option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or, if less, the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the adjusted basis of the stock; provided however, that the deduction will not be allowed if such amount exceeds the annual one million dollar limitation on the deduction that an employer may claim for compensation of certain executives pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code (the "Deduction Limitation") and does not satisfy an exception to the Deduction Limitation. Any further gain or loss from an arm's-length sale or exchange will be taxable as a long- term or short-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period before disposition. Certain special rules apply if an incentive stock option is exercised by tendering stock. The difference between the incentive stock option exercise price and the fair market value, at the time of exercise, of the Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option may give rise to alternative minimum taxable income subject to an alternative minimum tax. Special rules also may apply in certain cases where there are subsequent sales of shares in disqualifying dispositions and to determine the basis of the stock for purposes of computing alternative minimum taxable income on subsequent sale of the shares. Summary of Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to Nonqualified Stock Options No taxable income generally is realized by a participant upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option, and no deduction generally is then available to the Company. Upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be taxable to the participant as ordinary income. Such amount will also be deductible by the Company unless such amount exceeds the Deduction Limitation and does not satisfy an exception to the Deduction Limitation. The tax basis of shares acquired by the participant will be the fair market value on the date of exercise. When a participant disposes of shares acquired upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, any amount realized in excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise generally will be treated as a capital gain 16
10SB12G/A17th Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
and will be long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the shares. The holding period commences upon exercise of the nonqualified stock option. If the amount received is less than such fair market value, the loss will be treated as a long-term or short-term capital loss, depending on the holding period of the shares. The exercise of a nonqualified stock option will not trigger the alternative minimum tax consequences applicable to incentive stock options. Summary of Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to Restricted Stock Unless a participant otherwise elects to be taxed upon receipt of shares of restricted stock under the Plan, he must include in his taxable income the difference between the fair market value of the shares and the amount paid, if any, for the shares, as of the first date the participant's interest in the shares is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or such shares become transferable. A participant's rights in restricted stock awarded under the Plan are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture if the rights to full enjoyment of the shares are conditioned, directly or indirectly, upon the future performance of substantial services by the participant. Where shares of restricted stock received under the Plan are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant can elect to report the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of receipt and the amount paid, if any, for the stock as ordinary income in the year of receipt. To be effective, the election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after the date the shares are transferred to the participant. The Company is entitled to a Federal income tax deduction equal in amount to the amount includable as compensation in the gross income of the participant unless such amount exceeds the Deduction Limitation and does not satisfy an exception to the Deduction Limitation. The amount of taxable gain arising from a participant's sale of shares of restricted stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is equal to the excess of the amount realized on such sale over the sum of the amount paid, if any, for the stock and the compensation element included by the participant in taxable income. For stock held for more than one year, the participant will realize long-term capital gain or loss upon disposition. ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Not applicable. ITEM 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company may from time to time be a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently involved in any such actions that it believes will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. ITEM 9. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Common Stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the trading symbol "KBIZ" since May 26, 1995.

Such quotations represent prices between dealers, do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions and may not represent actual transactions. The quotations are based upon information reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The following table sets forth the range of representative high and low closing bid prices for the Common Stock for the periods indicated. 17

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES SHARES ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION The references to share amounts of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization reflect the one for 600 reverse split effected pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization but they do not reflect the effective reverse split resulting from the reincorporation. On December 20, 1993, the Company issued to its creditors an aggregate of 129,494 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The Company relied on Rule 148 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and was thus exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. No underwriters were used in connection with the foregoing transaction. On December 20, 1993, the Company issued to HCC 2,219,905 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a letter agreement between the Trustee and HCC. See "Description of the Business -- Background -- The Plan of Reorganization." The Company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that such transaction did not involve a public offering and was thus exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. No underwriters were used in connection with the foregoing transaction. OTHER ISSUANCES On April 28, 1995, the Company acquired an aggregate of 1,513,821 shares of common stock of KBI in exchange for an aggregate of 8,536,958 shares of Common Stock issued to two shareholders of KBI pursuant to a stock exchange agreement by and among the Company, KBI and two shareholders of KBI. On May 23, 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of 39,757 shares of Common Stock to the remaining 10 shareholders of KBI pursuant to a merger agreement whereby KBI was merged with and into the Company. On April 28, 1995, the Company issued 98,439 shares of Common Stock to Halter Capital Corporation as compensation for certain consulting services. The Company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that such transactions did not involve a public offering and were thus exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. No underwriters were used in connection with the foregoing transactions. On July 24, 1995, the Company issued an 9,500 units to one individual residing in New York at a 18
10SB12G/A19th Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 19th
subscription price of $2.25 per unit. Each unit consisted of (I) one share of Common Stock, (ii) nine class A warrants which enable the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for each such warrant at a price of $2.00 per share for a period of three months after July 24, 1995, unless extended, and (iii) ten class B warrants which enable the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for each such warrant at a price of $3.00 per share for a period of three months after July 24, 1995, unless extended. As of March 31, 1996, such individual exercised 85,500 class A warrants for 58,500 common shares for an aggregate exercise price of $90,500. The Company relied on Section 3(b) of the Securities Act and Rule 504 promulgated thereunder and was thus exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. No underwriters were used in connection with the foregoing transaction. ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES GENERAL The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). COMMON STOCK Each share of Common Stock is fully paid and non-assessable, and the holders thereof are entitled to one vote per share at all meetings of stockholders. All shares of Common Stock are equal to each other with regard to liquidation rights and dividend rights. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company deny preemptive rights to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock and do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the Common Stock will be entitled to receive on a pro rata basis all the assets of the Company remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities, subject to the rights of holders of any Preferred Stock. The present policy of the Company is to retain earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of its business. The Company has not paid cash dividends on the Common Stock and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future. PREFERRED STOCK The Articles of Incorporation provide that Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. All shares of any one series of Preferred Stock will be identical except as to the date of issue and dates from which dividends on shares of the series issued on different dates will cumulate, if cumulative. The Articles of Incorporation grant the Board of Directors the power to authorize the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock, and to fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of each such series the voting powers (but no greater than one vote per share), designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, redemption, conversion, exchange or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such series, and the number of shares in each series, to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by law. It is not contemplated that any shares of Preferred Stock will be issued by the Company in the foreseeable future, and the Company was organized with this class of securities authorized to provide 19
10SB12G/A20th Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 20th
flexibility for financing of Company activities in the future. Since no Preferred Stock has been issued, and the issuance of the same is not contemplated, it is not possible to know whether such Preferred Stock, if ever issued, would have preference over the Common Stock shareholders in the distribution of any assets in the event of a liquidation. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS The Company's Articles of Incorporation and the Nevada General Corporation Law (the "NGCL") contain certain provisions that may make the acquisition of control of the Company by means of a tender offer, open market purchase, proxy fight or otherwise more difficult. Business Combinations The NGCL contains provisions restricting the ability of a corporation to engage in business combinations with an interested stockholder. In general, except under certain circumstances, business combinations with interested stockholders are not permitted for a period of five years following the date such stockholder became an interested stockholder. The NGCL defines an interested stockholder, generally, as a person who owns 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation's voting stock. In addition, the NGCL generally disallows the exercise of voting rights with respect to "control shares" of an "issuing corporation" held by an "acquiring person," unless such voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the disinterested stockholders. "Control shares" are the voting shares of an issuing corporation acquired in connection with the acquisition of a "controlling interest." "Controlling interest" is defined in terms of threshold levels of voting share ownership, which thresholds, whenever each may be crossed, trigger application of the voting bar with respect to the shares newly acquired. The NGCL also permits directors to resist a change or potential change in control of the corporation if the directors determine that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in the best interest of the corporation. Authorized and Unissued Preferred Stock The Company has 5,000,000 authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock. The existence of authorized and unissued Preferred Stock may enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the Company's best interests, the Board of Directors could cause shares of Preferred Stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group or create a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent Board of Directors. In this regard, the Articles of Incorporation grant the Board of Directors broad power to establish the designations, powers, preferences and rights of each series of Preferred Stock. See " -- Preferred Stock." ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent provided by Nevada law. In addition, the Articles of Incorporation contain a provision limiting a director's and officer's liability for monetary damages to the fullest extent 20
10SB12G/A21st Page of 42TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
permitted by Nevada law. Furthermore, Section 78.751 of the NGCL contains provisions relating to indemnification of officers and directors. Section 78.751(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except for an action by or in right of the corporation by reason of the fact that he was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. In order to indemnify, it must be shown that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation. Generally, no indemnification may be made where the person has been determined to be negligent or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation. Section 78.751(2) of the NGCL further allows the corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter to which a court of competent jurisdiction has adjudged an officer or director liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that in view of the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such expenses. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding discussed in the preceding paragraphs, Section 78.751(3) of the NGCL provides that he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. Except when indemnification is required by a court of competent jurisdiction, Section 78.751(4) of the NGCL states that the corporation shall only indemnify upon a determination of (I) the stockholders, (ii) majority vote of the board that were not parties to the action; (iii) if ordered by a majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if no quorum of directors who were not parties to the action may be obtained. Unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 21

KNOWLEDGEBROKER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 NOTE A - GENERAL KnowledgeBroker, Inc. (a California Corporation) ("KBI" or "Company") was incorporated on March 27, 1992. The Company provides integrated information system "help desk" functions for Fortune 1000 companies throughout the United States and develops, sells and maintains informational databases to provide on-line computer hardware and software applications support. On April 28, 1995, the Company and certain shareholders of the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement with Overthrust Oil Royalty Corporation ("Overthrust") (a non-reporting public company which had no operations) whereby Overthrust acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in exchange for an aggregate of approximately 95.84% of its common stock. In connection with this transaction, Overthrust was simultaneously reincorporated in Nevada by means of a merger with and into a newly-formed Nevada corporation, KBI Acquisition, Inc. The reincorporation had the effect of a one for two reverse split of the common stock. On May 23, 1995, the Company was merged with and into KBI Acquisition, Inc. and the name of KBI Acquisition, Inc. was changed to KnowledgeBroker, Inc. The capital structure and related weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding for all periods presented reflects that of Overthrust. For accounting purposes, the merger between KBI and the public company is regarded as an acquisition by the public company of substantially all of the outstanding stock of KBI and is accounted for as a recapitalization of KBI with KBI as the acquirer (a reverse acquisition). Accordingly, the historical financial statements included herein are those of KBI. NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue related to "help desk" support functions in accordance with its "standard take or pay" contract with its client companies whereby each client company contracts on a "per support call" basis with a specified minimum per month. These contracts are billed monthly for the duration of the contract. Customer payments made in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until earned. The Company recognizes revenue related to software sales, royalties, and licensing at the point of shipment/billing to the customer other than for software sales for which the Company extends a limited evaluation period. For these sales, the Company records revenue after the evaluation period has expired, based on a historical "actual" acceptance rate. 2. Product development costs and expenses The Company follows the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", whereby all costs and expenses related to research and development, prior to the determination of technological feasibility, as defined, are charged to expense. All significant costs incurred for product design and development from the point that technological feasibility is determined up to the point that the product is available to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are capitalized and are amortized on a straight basis over the estimated useful life of the technology. To date, product design and development costs after establishing technological feasibility have not been significant to the Company's financial statements and have been expensed. Costs for product maintenance, including conversions to different operating systems and customer support are charged to expense as incurred. F-6

KNOWLEDGEBROKER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued 3. Financial instruments and concentrations of credit risk In the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to virtually all of its customers. Management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its opinion of amounts which will eventually become uncollectible. In the event of complete non-performance of accounts receivable, the maximum exposure to the Company is the recorded amount on the books. Cash and cash equivalents are at risk to the extent it exceeds Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts (approximately $59,630 at December 31, 1995). To minimize risk, the Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. 4. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposits and other highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. 5. Marketable securities available for sale Marketable securities consist of preferred stock issued by a large financial institution. The equity securities are classified as "available for sale" and are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. Significant unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair market value are reflected as a separate component of shareholders' equity and charged or credited to the statement of operations when realized. 6. Property and equipment Property and equipment other than software costs are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value (which is less than founders' cost) at the date of acquisition. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (generally 5 to 7 years) of the related assets. Software purchased for internal use is recorded at cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period. 7. Income taxes Prior to April 1, 1994, the Company, with the consent of its shareholders, elected under Section 1372(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, to be treated as an "S corporation". The Company, therefore, was previously not subject to Federal income taxes at the corporate level and all income, deductions and credits were taxable to the shareholders. Effective April 1, 1994, the Company terminated its S corporation election. Accordingly, the Company commenced providing for income taxes in utilizing the asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The unaudited proforma income tax data included in the accompanying statements of operations has been calculated as if the Company were providing for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability approach for each of the years presented.

KNOWLEDGEBROKER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued 8. Use of estimates and assumptions Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. 9. Net income (loss) per common share Net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each respective year. Common stock equivalents that would have had an anti-dilutive effect were excluded from the calculation. 10. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), was issued. This statement requires the fair value of stock options and other stock-based compensation issued to employees to either be included as compensation expense in the income statement, or the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of such compensation expense to be disclosed in the footnotes to the Company's financial statements commencing with the Company's 1996 fiscal year. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 123 on a disclosure basis only. As such, implementation of SFAS 123 is not expected to impact the Company's balance sheet or statement of operations. 11. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation. NOTE C - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT A summary of property and equipment follows: [Download Table] 1995 1994 ---------- ------- Furniture and fixtures $ 31,301 $ 25,005 Computer equipment 117,339 98,950 Office equipment 13,771 12,054 Automobiles 15,302 15,302 Software costs 53,647 50,670 -------- -------- $231,360 $201,981 ======== ======== NOTE D - NOTE PAYABLE The Company has a line of credit note payable to a bank with a maximum facility of $150,000. The note payable bears interest due monthly at the bank's prime lending rate plus one percent (9.75% at December 31, 1995) and matures in November, 1996. The note payable is collateralized by the marketable securities and all equipment, accounts receivable, and intangibles of the Company. F-8

KNOWLEDGEBROKER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 NOTE E - MERGER COSTS AND PREPAID EXPENSES During February 1995, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Halter Capital Corporation ("HCC"), whereby HCC would provide expertise relating to publicly-held companies, securities, and general corporate law, in exchange for 98,439 shares of the Company's common stock. The portion of the consulting agreement related to merger and fund raising expenses, $62,500 and $20,000 for other merger and fund rasing expenses has been charged to additional paid-in capital. The balance of the value assigned to the consulting agreement, $62,500, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over eighteen months, the period of the agreement. NOTE F - LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AND OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES Other accrued expenses at December 31, 1995 include $365,785 in connection with the settlement of litigation and related legal expenses which was finalized in February 1996. The settlement requires the Company to pay $100,000 in cash and issue common stock with a value of $249,998. NOTE G - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS As a performance incentive and in order to encourage ownership of common stock, the Company has adopted its 1995 Stock Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). Accordingly, 900,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of options or the grant of restricted stock awards. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had granted options to acquire an aggregate of 607,750 shares of common stock. Unless extended or earlier terminated, the Plan will terminate on the day prior to the tenth anniversary of its effective date. The Plan provides for the grant of "incentive stock options, " as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), nonqualified stock options and restricted stock awards (collectively referred to as "Awards"). Options are exercisable during the period specified in each option agreement and will be exercisable in accordance with a vesting schedule to be designated by the Committee. The options granted have an exercise price of $2.00. Following is a summary of option activity under the Plan: [Download Table] Option Price ------------------------ Shares Per Share Total -------- --------- --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1994 - $ - $ - Granted 435,500 2 871,000 Exercised (431,250) 2 (862,500) Canceled (4,250) 2 (8,500) -------- --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1995 - $ - ======== ========= On July 24, 1995, the Company issued 9,500 units to one individual at a subscription price of $2.25 per unit. Each unit consisted of (i) one share of Common Stock, (ii) nine class A warrants which enable the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for each such warrant at a price of $2.00 per share for a period of three months after July 24, 1995 unless extended, and (iii) ten class B warrants which enable the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for each such warrant at a price of $3.00 per share for a period of three months after its issuance unless extended. By corporate resolution, the warrant exercise prices for class A and B warrants were reduced to $2.00 and $1.00, respectively. As of December 31, 1995, such individual had exercised 45,000 class A warrants for an aggregate price of $50,000. Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the individual also exercised an additional 40,500 class A warrants for an aggregate price of $40,500 and had an aggregate of 95,000 class B warrants still available to be exercised.

The non-current deferred tax asset results from the benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. The non-current deferred tax liability results from the use of statutory accelerated tax depreciation and amortization methods for Federal income tax reporting purposes.

KNOWLEDGEBROKER, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 NOTE I - COMMON STOCK AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Shareholder loans arise in the normal course of business, are non-interest bearing, and are due on demand. Amounts due to shareholders include amounts due for compensation, contribution of assets at fair market value (which is less than founders' cost), and expenses reimbursable to the shareholders. Issuances of shares for compensation during 1995 and 1994 (prior to becoming a public company) were valued at the net book value of the Company at the respective dates of issuance, which management believes during that period was the most appropriate indicator of the fair value of the shares. At December 31, 1995, notes receivable in connection with stock issued pursuant to stock options exercised amounted to $798,945. Of that amount, $9,950 is presented as a current note receivable as the note was collected prior to the date of this report (March 26, 1996) with the balance $788,995 being presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity. The notes receivable bear interest at 8.75% and are due at various dates in 1996. Security on a portion of these notes ($199,000) includes assets other than the stock itself. NOTE J - ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE During 1995, no one customer accounted for greater than 10% of total revenues. The Company has one customer which accounted for approximately 68% of total revenues during 1994. NOTE K - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases its office facilities and certain office equipment under long-term operating lease agreements expiring through 1998. The office lease commenced on October 1, 1995 and expires on September 30, 1999 and requires monthly rental payments ranging from approximately $1,400 to $1,900 over the life of the lease. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $25,152 and $20,006, respectively. Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 1995 are as follows: [Download Table] Year ending December 31, Amount -------------------------- -------- 1996 $ 16,745 1997 18,469 1998 20,194 1999 39,367 -------- Total $ 94,775 ======== During 1995, the Company received several notices from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") questioning the status of workers treated by the Company as contractors. If the IRS determines that the workers in question are employees and applies this ruling to other similar workers, the amount due for income and other taxes could be significant to the financial statements of the Company. Management intends to vigorously defend the working status of their workers, but is unable to determine the outcome of the IRS notice or the related financial exposure if any. In the course of conducting its business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits and related proceedings, the outcome of which is not anticipated to be material to the Company's financial position.
