424B33rd Page of 83TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
Common stock to be outstanding after the offering.......................... Up to 44,273,603 shares. Use of proceeds............................ We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock. However, we will receive the sale price of any common stock we sell to the selling stockholder upon exercise of the warrants. We expect to use the proceeds received from the exercise of the warrants, if any, for general working capital purposes. Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Symbol..... VRDI The above information regarding common stock to be outstanding after the offering is based on 15,842,107 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 21, 2005 and assumes the subsequent conversion of our issued secured convertible notes and exercise of warrants by our selling stockholders. To obtain funding for the purpose of payment of legal settlements, general corporate and operating purposes, including product development and enhancements, sales and marketing efforts and payment of consulting and legal fees, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd., AJW Partners, LLC, Alpha Capital, Enable Growth Partners L.P., Whalehaven Capital Fund Limited Meadowbrook Opportunity Fund LLC and TCMP3 Partners on February 25, 2005 for the sale of (i) $5,100,000 in callable secured convertible notes and (ii) stock purchase warrants to buy an aggregate of 10,200,000 shares of our common stock. This prospectus relates to the resale of the common stock underlying these callable secured convertible notes and warrants. 7

On February 25, 2005, the investors purchased $1,700,000 in callable secured convertible notes and received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,400,000 shares of our common stock. Between April 29, 2005 and May 9, 2005, the investors purchased an additional $1,700,000 in callable secured convertible notes and received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,400,000 shares of our common stock. The investors are obligated to provide us with an additional $1,700,000 to be funded within five business days of the effectiveness of this registration statement, so long as our common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange. The callable secured convertible notes bear interest at 10%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and the principal is convertible into our common stock, at the investors' option, at $1.27. Based on this conversion price, the $5,100,000 callable secured convertible notes, excluding interest, are convertible into 4,015,748 shares of our common stock. Interest on the callable secured convertible notes can be paid, at our option, in cash or common stock based upon the conversion price. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the conversion price of the callable secured convertible notes will be equal to the lesser of (i) $0.91 or (ii) 50.0% of the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock for the 5 days prior to the date a conversion notice is sent to us. We may prepay the callable secured convertible notes in the event that no event of default exists, and there are a sufficient number of shares available for conversion of the callable secured convertible notes. The full principal amount of the callable secured convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of callable secured convertible notes. In addition, we have granted the investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property as well as registration rights. The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance. Half of the warrants are designated as Series A Warrants and have an exercise price of $3.00 per share and the other half are designated as Series B Warrants and have an exercise price of $5.00 per share. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants is adjusted in the event we issue common stock at a price below market. The investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the callable secured convertible notes and exercise the warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of our common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of our then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. In addition to the foregoing issuances, for services provided in connection with the foregoing financing transaction we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 207,087 shares of our common stock to certain selling stockholders. An aggregate of 100,000 of such warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 per share and the remaining 107,087 warrants have an exercise price of $1.27 per share. See the "Selling Stockholders" and "Risk Factors" sections for a complete description of the callable secured convertible notes. 8

RISK FACTORS This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment. Risks Related to Our Financial Results Our stock price is volatile and could decline in the future. The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and will likely continue to fluctuate in the future. The stock market in general and the market for shares of technology stocks in particular has experienced extreme stock price fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Many companies in the technology and related industries, including us, have experienced dramatic volatility in the market prices of their common stock. We have an accumulated deficit, are not currently profitable and expect to incur significant expenses in the future as we implement our new business model, which may reduce our profitability. We have incurred a cumulative net loss since inception and are currently experiencing negative cash flow. We expect to continue to experience negative cash flow and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to make significant expenditures for acquisitions, sales and marketing, international expansion, infrastructure development and general and administrative functions, in light of our new business model. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses exceed expectations, we may experience reduced profitability. Our auditors have indicated uncertainty concerning our ability to continue operations as a going concern. Our auditors have indicated uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern as of the most recent audited financial statements. We cannot assure you that our ability to obtain additional customers or financing sources will be impaired as a result of this qualification. Additionally, we cannot assure you that our proposed projects and services, if fully developed, can be successfully marketed or that we will ever achieve significant revenues or profitable margins and therefore remain a going concern. We will be required to raise additional capital to fund our operations. We completed two of three rounds of a private placement to raise an aggregate of $5,100,000. The first of three equal installments of $1,700,000 was received in February, 2005, the second installment was received between April, 2005 and May, 2005 and the final closing of $1,700,000 is contingent upon triggering events set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. If we cannot complete the third installment of this placement and cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we will not be able to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. Also, any new equity securities may have greater rights, preferences or privileges than our existing common stock. A material shortage of capital will require us to take drastic steps such as reducing our level of operations, disposing of selected assets or seeking an acquisition partner. If cash is insufficient, we will not be able to continue operations. We will be required to amend our previous periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have failed to timely respond to comments generated by the Securities and Exchange Commission on several of our previously filed periodic reports. In addition, our previous auditors resigned largely as a result of periodic reports being filed prior to their review. Although we are currently working with our new auditors to address these concerns, we will be required to amend certain previously filed periodic reports and there can be no assurance that we will not be required to restate previously filed financial statements, or be subject to regulatory action by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any of these actions would have a material adverse effect on us and the price of our common stock. 9

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected. Our internal controls over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. Risks Related To Our Business We face intense competition from other biometric security solution providers as well as identification and security systems providers. A significant number of established and startup companies have developed or are developing hardware for fingerprint biometric security applications that currently compete or will compete directly with those products designed, developed and sold by us. Other companies have developed or are developing and marketing biometric security applications for the recognition of fingerprints that currently compete or will compete with those products designed, developed and sold by us. Some of these companies have developed or are developing and marketing semiconductor or optically based direct contact fingerprint image capture devices. Other companies have developed or are developing and marketing other methods of biometric identification such as retinal blood vessel or iris pattern, facial structure, or voice recognition. If one or more of these technologies or approaches were widely adopted, it would significantly reduce the potential market for our products. Our products also compete with non-biometric technologies such as certificate authorities and traditional keys, cards, surveillance systems and passwords. Many competitors offering products that are competitive with our products and services have significantly more cash and resources than us. The biometric security market is a rapidly evolving and intensely competitive market, and we believe that additional competitors may enter the market and become significant long-term competitors. We expect competition to increase and intensify in the near term in the biometrics markets. Companies competing with us may introduce products that are competitively priced, have increased performance or functionality or incorporate technological advances not yet developed or implemented by us. Some present and potential competitors have financial, marketing, research, and manufacturing resources substantially greater than we have. In order to compete effectively in this environment, we must continually develop and market new and enhanced products at competitive prices and must have the resources available to invest in significant research and development activities. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on its business operations, financial results and stock price. We will need to raise additional equity or debt financing in the future. We will need to raise financing in the future to fund our operations. If successful in raising additional financing, we may not be able to do so on terms that are not excessively dilutive to our existing stockholders or less costly than existing sources of financing. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, balance sheet and stock price and require us to implement cost reduction initiatives and curtail operations. 10

Our business will not grow unless the market for our security solutions expands both domestically and internationally. A large portion of our revenues is derived from the sale of security products and services. We cannot accurately predict the future growth rate, if any, or the ultimate size of the biometric technology market. The expansion of the market for our products and services depends on a number of factors, including: o the cost, performance and reliability of its products and services and the products and services of our competitors; o customers' perception of the benefit of biometric security solutions; o public perceptions of the intrusiveness of these solutions and the manner in which firms are using the biometric information collected; o public perceptions regarding the confidentiality of private information; o customers' satisfaction with our products and services; and o marketing efforts and publicity regarding these products and services. Certain groups have publicly objected to the use of biometric products for some applications on civil liberties grounds and legislation has been proposed to regulate the use of biometric security products. From time to time, fingerprint recognition and other biometrics technologies have been the focus of organizations and individuals seeking to curtail or eliminate the use of these technologies on the grounds that these technologies may be used to diminish personal privacy rights. In the event that such initiatives result in restrictive legislation, the market for fingerprint recognition products may be adversely affected. Even if biometric markets develop as we hope, our products and services may not gain wide market acceptance. Even if biometric security solutions gain wide market acceptance, our products and services may not adequately address the market requirements. The biometrics industry is characterized by rapid technological change and evolving industry standards, which could render our existing products obsolete. Our future success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce a variety of new products and services and enhancements to these new products and services in order to address the changing and sophisticated needs of the marketplace. Frequently, technical development programs in the biometrics industry require assessments to be made of the future directions of technology and technology market generally, which are inherently difficult to predict. Delays in introducing new products, services and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products and services at competitive prices may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and services and purchase those of our competitors. The development of new or enhanced products and services is a complex and uncertain process that requires the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may experience development, marketing and other technological difficulties that may delay or limit our ability to respond to technological changes, evolving industry standards, competitive developments or customer requirements. You should also be aware that: o Our technology may become obsolete upon the introduction of alternative technologies; o We may incur substantial costs if we need to modify our products and services to respond to these alternative technologies; o We may not have sufficient resources to develop or acquire new technologies or to introduce new products or services capable of competing with future technologies; o We may be unable to acquire the rights to use the intellectual property necessary to implement new technology; and o When introducing new or enhanced products or services, we may be unable to effectively manage the transition from older products and services. 11
424B38th Page of 83TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
Continued participation by us in the market for biometric products that are linked to forensic quality databases under the jurisdiction of governmental agencies may require the investment of resources in upgrading our products and technology in order for us to compete and to meet regulatory and statutory standards. We may not have adequate resources available to us or may not adequately keep pace with appropriate requirements in order to effectively compete in the marketplace. Defects in our products and services could diminish demand for our products and services, which may harm our business. Because our products and services are complex, they may contain errors or defects that are not found until after they are used by our customers. Errors or defects that subsequently arise could seriously harm our reputation and its ability to generate sales to new or existing customers. Our products and services are used in systems with other vendors' products. These products and services can be adequately tested only when they are successfully integrated with these systems. Errors may be found in new products or releases after shipment and our products and services may not operate as expected. Errors or defects in our products and services could result in: o loss of revenues and increased service and warranty costs; o delay in market acceptance; o loss of salaries; and o injury to our reputation. We may be subject to loss in market share and market acceptance as a result of manufacturing errors, delays or shortages. Performance failure in our products or certain of our services may cause loss of market share, delay in or loss of market acceptance, additional warranty expense or product recall, or other contractual liabilities. The complexity of certain of the fingerprint recognition systems make the manufacturing and assembly process of such products, especially in volume, complex. This may in turn lead to delays or shortages in the availability of certain products, or, in some cases, the unavailability of certain products. The negative effects of any delay or failure could be exacerbated if the delay or failure occurs in products or services that provide personal security, secure sensitive computer data, authorize significant financial transactions or perform other functions where a security breach could have significant consequences. If a product or service launch is delayed or is the subject of an availability shortage because of problems with our ability to manufacture or assemble the product or service successfully on a timely basis, or if a product or service otherwise fails to meet performance criteria, we may lose revenue opportunities entirely and/or experience delays in revenue recognition associated with a product or service in addition to incurring higher operating expenses during the period required to correct the defects. We may be subject to repair, replacement, reimbursement and liability claims for products that fail to work or to meet applicable performance criteria. There is a risk that for unforeseen reasons we may be required to repair or replace a substantial number of products in use or to reimburse customers for products that fail to work or meet strict performance criteria. We attempt to limit remedies for product or service failure to the repair or replacement of malfunctioning or noncompliant products or services, and also attempts to exclude or minimize exposure to product and related liabilities by including in its standard agreements warranty disclaimers and disclaimers for consequential and related damages as well as limitations on its aggregate liability. From time to time, in certain complex sale or licensing transactions, each entity may negotiate liability provisions that vary from such standard forms. Our existing and proposed international business exposes us to additional risks that may result in future additional costs or limit the market for product sales. Products and services provided to our international customers account for a significant part of our revenues. In addition, key component of our business plan is to expand our reach in our foreign markets. Conducting business outside of the United States subjects us to additional risks, including: 12
424B39th Page of 83TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
o changes in regulatory requirements; o reduced protection of intellectual property rights; o evolving privacy laws; o tariffs and other trade barriers; o difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; o problems in collecting accounts receivable; and o difficulties in authenticating customer information. We will face risks inherent to new ventures in each new market that we enter, including a lack of acceptance of our business model. We may also incur substantial costs related to entering into new markets, which may not be recoverable if we are unsuccessful in these markets. Failure to recover these costs and expenses may materially adversely impact our cash flow and ability to meet our regular operating expenses, which may, in turn harm our ability to serve our customers and our competitive position to obtain new customers. In addition, a portion of our technology base is in Pakistan. We could be adversely affected by any major hostilities involving Pakistan, which result in the interruption or curtailment of trade between Pakistan and its trading partners. For example, if the United States or any of its trading partners reinstitutes the recently lifted trade sanctions, it may adversely impact our ability to continue our Pakistani operations. If we fail to attract and retain employees, our growth could be limited and our costs could increase, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. Our future success depends in large part upon our ability to attract, train and retain highly skilled executive-level management and creative and technical personnel. The competition in the technology industry for such personnel is intense, and we cannot be sure that we will be successful in attracting, training and retaining such personnel. Some of our employees and executive officers have joined our company recently, and all employees are subject to "at will" employment. High turnover resulting in additional training expense would decrease its profitability. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to replace any of our management personnel in the event their services become unavailable. Our failure to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, intellectual property and manufacturing processes could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition and on our ability to compete effectively. We principally rely upon patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and contract law to establish and protect our proprietary rights. There is a risk that claims allowed on any patents or trademarks that we hold may not be broad enough to protect our technology. In addition, our patents or trademarks may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and management cannot be certain that the rights granted thereunder will provide us with competitive advantages. Moreover, any current or future issued or licensed patents, or trademarks, or currently existing or future developed trade secrets or know-how may not afford sufficient protection against competitors with similar technologies or processes, and the possibility exists that certain of our already issued patents or trademarks may infringe upon third party patents or trademarks or be designed around by others. In addition, there is a risk that others may independently develop proprietary technologies and processes, which are the same as, substantially equivalent or superior to those possessed by us or become available in the market at a lower price. There is a risk that we have infringed or in the future will infringe patents or trademarks owned by owners, that we will need to acquire licenses under patents or trademarks belonging to others for technology potentially useful or necessary to us and that licenses will not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. We may have to litigate to enforce our patents or trademarks or to determine the scope and validity of other parties' proprietary rights. Litigation could be very costly and divert management's attention. An adverse outcome in any litigation may have a severe negative effect on our financial results and stock price. To determine the priority of inventions, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or oppositions in foreign patent and trademark offices, which could result in substantial cost to us and limitations on the scope or validity our patents or trademarks. 13
424B310th Page of 83TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how, which we seek to protect by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, service providers and third parties. There is a risk that these agreements may be breached, and that the remedies available to us may not be adequate. In addition, our trade secrets and proprietary know-how may otherwise become known to or be independently discovered by others. Failure to increase our brand awareness could limit our ability to compete effectively. If the marketplace does not associate us with high-quality products and services, we may be unable to keep our existing customers, attract new customers or successfully introduce new products and services. Competitive and other pressures may require us to increase our marketing expenses to promote our brand name, and the benefits associated with brand creation may not outweigh the risks and costs associated with establishing our brand name. Our failure to develop a strong brand name or the incurrence of excessive costs associated with establishing our brand name may harm our business. We have a lengthy sales and implementation cycle, which increases the cost of completing sales and renders completion of sales less predictable. If we are unable to license our products and services to new customers on a timely basis or if our existing and proposed customers and their end-users suffer delays in the implementation and adoption of its services, our revenue may be limited and business and prospects may be harmed. Our customers must evaluate our technology and integrate our products and services into the products and services they provide. In addition, our customers may need to adopt a comprehensive sales, marketing and training program in order to effectively implement some of its products. For these and other reasons, the cycle associated with establishing licenses and implementing our products can be lengthy. Our success depends on our ability to grow and develop our direct and indirect distribution channels and the inability to do so could adversely affect future operating results. Our failure to grow and develop our direct sales channel or to increase the number of our indirect distribution channels could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. We must continue to develop relationships with existing channel partners or they may choose to devote greater resources to supporting the products of competitors. We may be adversely impacted by the events of and actions in response to September 11, 2001. A recurrence of terrorist attacks may have a material adverse impact on our business plan, operations and financial condition. We may be adversely affected by the events of September 11, 2001, and the war in Iraq. At this time, the long term effects of these events, or other similar or related events that may occur in the future, on the biometrics industry or on worldwide economic conditions. We cannot assure you that our business plan, will not be adversely impacted by future terrorist attacks or actions taken in response to those attacks. Risks Relating To Our Current Financing Arrangement There are a large number of shares underlying our callable secured convertible notes, and warrants that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock. As of June 21, 2005, we had 15,842,107 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and callable secured convertible notes outstanding or an obligation to issue callable secured convertible notes that may be converted into an estimated 8,050,513 shares of common stock at current market prices, and outstanding warrants or an obligation to issue warrants to purchase 10,200,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding callable secured convertible notes may increase if there is an event of default. All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and upon exercise of our warrants, may be sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. 14
424B311th Page of 83TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
If there is an event of default, the continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our callable secured convertible notes become applicable, which could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock. Upon an event of default the callable secured convertible notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a 50% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells material amounts of common stock could have an adverse effect on our stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of notes, warrants and options, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock. The issuance of shares upon conversion of the callable secured convertible notes and exercise of outstanding warrants may cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. The issuance of shares upon conversion of the callable secured convertible notes and exercise of warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. Although the selling stockholders may not convert their callable secured convertible notes and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause them to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the selling stockholders from converting and/or exercising some of their holdings and then converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, the selling stockholders could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering. If we are required for any reason to repay our outstanding callable secured convertible notes, we would be required to deplete our working capital, if available, or raise additional funds. Our failure to repay the callable secured convertible notes, if required, could result in legal action against us, which could require the sale of substantial assets. On February 25, 2005, we entered into a Security Purchase Agreement involving the sale of an aggregate of $5,100,000 principal amount of callable secured convertible notes and stock purchase warrants to buy 10,200,000 shares of our common stock. The callable secured convertible notes are due and payable, with 10% interest, three years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of our common stock. Although we currently have $3,400,000 callable secured convertible notes outstanding, the investor is obligated to purchase additional callable secured convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $1,700,000. In addition, any event of default such as our failure to repay the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of common stock upon conversion by the holder, our failure to timely file a registration statement or have such registration statement declared effective, breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the Securities Purchase Agreement or related convertible note, the assignment or appointment of a receiver to control a substantial part of our property or business, the filing of a money judgment, writ or similar process against us in excess of $100,000, the commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding against us and the delisting of our common stock could require the early repayment of the callable secured convertible notes, including a default interest rate of 15% on the outstanding principal balance of the notes if the default is not cured within the specified grace period. We anticipate that the full amount of the callable secured convertible notes will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the callable secured convertible notes. If we are required to repay the callable secured convertible notes, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the notes when required, the note holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease operations. 15

Risks Related To This Offering There is no assurance of an established public trading market, which would adversely affect the ability of investors in our company to sell their securities in the public markets. Although our common stock trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulleting Board (the "OTCBB"), a regular trading market for the securities may not be sustained in the future. The NASD has enacted recent changes that limit quotations on the OTCBB to securities of issuers that are current in their reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The effect on the OTCBB of these rule changes and other proposed changes cannot be determined at this time. The OTCBB is an inter-dealer, Over-The-Counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the NASD's automated quotation system (the "NASDAQ Stock Market"). Quotes for stocks included on the OTCBB are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for The Nasdaq Stock Market. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTCBB may be difficult to obtain and holders of common stock may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original offering price or at any price. Market prices for our common stock will be influenced by a number of factors, including: o the issuance of new equity securities; o changes in interest rates; o competitive developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; o variations in quarterly operating results; o change in financial estimates by securities analysts; o the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock; o investor perceptions of our company and the technologies industries generally; and o general economic and other national conditions. The limited prior public market and trading market may cause volatility in the market price of our common stock. Our common stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the OTCBB under the symbol "VRDI." The quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years such market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies like us. Our common stock is thus subject to volatility. In the absence of an active trading market: o investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations; o market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and o a lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market for our common stock. Our common stock could be considered a "penny stock." Our common stock could be considered to be a "penny stock" if it meets one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include but are not limited to the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is NOT traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is NOT quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade in it on an unsolicited basis. 16
424B313th Page of 83TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
Broker-dealer requirements may affect trading and liquidity. Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock." Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise. Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of our restricted stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock. From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, a stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one-year holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitations, by a non-affiliate of our company that has satisfied a two-year holding period. In addition, we completed the first of three rounds of a private placement in February 2005, whereby we granted the investors in the private placement certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying their securities. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities. Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware law and may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change- in-control. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include voting rights including the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control. In addition, we are also subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law that, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder. The preceding provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, as well as Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change-in-control and prevent changes in our management, even if such things would be in the best interests of our stockholders. 17

USE OF PROCEEDS This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we will receive the sale price of any common stock we sell to the selling stockholder upon exercise of the warrants. We expect to use the proceeds received from the exercise of the warrants, if any, for general working capital purposes. However, the selling stockholders will be entitled to exercise the warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event that the selling stockholder exercises the warrants on a cashless basis, then we will not receive any proceeds. In addition, we have received gross proceeds of $3,400,000 from the sale of the callable secured convertible notes and the investors are obligated to provide us with an additional $1,700,000 within five days of this prospectus being declared effective. The proceeds received from the sale of the callable secured convertible notes will be used for payment of legal settlements, general corporate and operating purposes, including product development and enhancements, sales and marketing efforts and payment of consulting and legal fees.

From our inception through fiscal 2000, we were engaged in the design, development and manufacture of computer-based simulation systems for training and decision support. These systems included both hardware and software and are used to train personnel in the use of various military and commercial equipment. Much of our simulator business was in the foreign defense industry. The tightening of defense budgets worldwide, combined with the continuing consolidation and competition in the defense industry, negatively impacted the growth and profit opportunities for small companies such as ours. As a result, in July 2000, we refocused our business. In connection with the refocus, we sold the assets related to our computer based simulation system line of business to a developer and manufacturer of specialized defense simulation products. We then commenced development of commercial products in the area of Internet collaboration. However, we lacked the funds necessary to exploit our developed products. As a result, in October 2002, we entered into a license agreement with our then principal stockholder, Global Alpha Corporation ("GAC") pursuant to which GAC was granted an exclusive license to our software and systems commonly referred to as the "IC3D Framework" (the "System"). The System encompassed substantially all of our software including software developed to support multi-user online collaborative interactivity in a broad variety of applications employing a variety of virtual media over a number of networks including the Internet and intra-nets. Under the license agreement, GAC agreed to pay us a license fee of 10% of the revenue generated from the sale or use of the System up to $1.0 million, 9% up to $2.0 million, 8% up to $3.0 million and, thereafter, 7% of the revenue generated. No revenue has been generated to date. In connection with the license agreement, in October 2002 we terminated substantially all of our employees, and except for our license agreement, ceased all of our prior operating activities. Our principal activities became directed to reducing our liabilities and seeking possible acquisitions. Management's objective was to acquire an operating company that has experienced management and the potential for profitable growth in exchange for our securities. On April 28, 2003, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with EssTec, Inc., a privately-held Nevada corporation ("EssTec"). In accordance with the merger, on May 8, 2003, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Alpha Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, acquired EssTec in exchange for 4,259,496 shares of our Common Stock. The transaction contemplated by the agreement was intended to be a "tax-free" reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 351 and 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 19
424B316th Page of 83TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
On May 8, 2003, in connection with the EssTec merger, we changed our fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. On November 25, 2003, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Veridicom, Inc., a privately-held California corporation ("Veridicom"). In accordance with the merger, on November 25, 2003, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, A/V Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, acquired Veridicom in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of our Common Stock; 3,250,000 shares were issued to the holders of Veridicom stock and 250,000 shares were issued into escrow to cover indemnification obligations, if any, of Veridicom. The transaction contemplated by the agreement was intended to be a "tax-free" reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 351 and 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. On January 16, 2004, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Cavio Corporation, a privately-held Washington corporation ("Cavio"). In accordance with the merger, on February 20, 2004, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, A/VII Corporation, a Nevada corporation, acquired Cavio in exchange for 5,119,140 shares of our Common Stock. The transaction contemplated by the agreement was intended to be a "tax-free" reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 351 and 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Description of the Company Post-Merger Following the merger with Cavio, we realigned our business strategy to leverage the core operations of each of our subsidiaries. We have five operational subsidiaries: Esstec, Essential Tec Pakistan (Private) Limited ("Pakistan Ltd."), Veridicom Inc., Cavio, and Veridicom International (Canada) Inc. ("Canada Inc."). Our core strategy is to build a comprehensive authentication suite of products and services, with market-specific applications that leverage the core identity management infrastructure. We believe there is a significant need for an auditable, scalable product solution capable of linking an individual to a specific electronic event or transaction -- a strong authentication solution that safeguards legitimate interests and adheres to emerging electronic commerce legislation. Our identity management solutions employ public key infrastructure and a "virtual token" based technology to control, audit and monitor the identification processes for electronic events and transactions. We will focus on transforming the market for biometrics and growing the market beyond traditional security applications. In particular, the strategy will be to expand the traditional security offerings to include security and convenience value propositions for commercial or point-of-sale transactions. By developing customizable applications as well as authentication technology, we are endeavoring that our brand become synonymous with secure, authenticated transactions. We offer a solution that we believe not only addresses an organization's current requirements for stronger and more scalable authentication and authorization, but also addresses a future vision for security, via a combination of centralized and distributed identity repositories and administration tools. Utilizing biometric technology, we provide organizations with an authentication solution that also provides users with increased convenience by reducing the reliance on passwords. We have a strong management team with combined experience in sales and marketing, vertical market knowledge, technology development, and hardware integrated circuit design. In addition, we will have access to a network of advisors and consultants with significant expertise in technology, government, security, and financial services. These advisors will be invited to form a more formal advisory board to provide strategic direction for products and services, and, they may be leveraged to provide targeted business development contacts in key target markets. There are several factors that management believes will provide new opportunities or present new challenges for us. We believe that regulatory, technological, and cultural changes will create new opportunities. International distribution arrangements are currently in place, while new channels are being developed. 20

Since March 1, 2004, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of all pre-merger operations. This on-going review has included all facets of operations, including the supply chain, product development, previous sales and marketing agreements, internal controls and reporting systems. Based on this review, we have decided that a thorough reorganization of all of the companies is warranted, including a re-evaluation of the supply chain, method of manufacture, product strategy and other organizational procedures. Although distracting in the short-term, we believe that this review is in the long-term best interests of the Company and our stockholders. As part of the reorganization, we closed our Sunnyvale, California offices on April 15, 2004 in favor of a more cost effective and efficient development environment in the Pacific Northwest. Critical Accounting Policies Used in Financial Statements We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management's estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Veridicom International, Inc., ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), formerly known as Alpha Virtual, Inc. is a Delaware Corporation formerly headquartered in California that was formed on September 9, 1987. The name of the Company was changed to Veridicom International, Inc. in February 2004. The Company consolidated its corporate offices in Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia in April 2004. Going Concern Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2004 we have incurred a net loss of $3,720,261 and have a working capital deficit, which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently devoting our efforts to raising additional capital and investigating potential merger candidates. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital, and ultimately, achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Mergers On April 28, 2003 we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Esstec Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation ("Esstec"),. In accordance with the Merger, on May 8, 2003, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Alpha Acquisition Corporation ("AAC"), a Nevada Corporation, acquired Esstec in exchange for 4,259,496 shares of the Alpha's common stock. For accounting purposes Esstec acquired Alpha in a reverse merger under the purchase method of accounting. The financial statements in the filings of Alpha became those of Esstec. The legal entity (Alpha) retained its name until it was changed to Veridicom International, Inc. in February 2004. Thus, the financial statements are still those of "Esstec, Inc." On November 25, 2003, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Veridicom, Inc. ("Veridicom Inc."), a California corporation, through AAC whereby we acquired Veridicom Inc. in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of Veridicom Inc.'s common stock. 3,250,000 shares were issued to the holders of Veridicom Inc.'s stock, and 250,000 shares were issued into escrow to cover Veridicom Inc.'s indemnification obligations, if any. Veridicom's stockholders owned approximately 35% of our common stock outstanding as of November 25, 2003. On January 16, 2004, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Cavio Corporation, a privately held Washington corporation ("Cavio"). The merger became effective on February 20, 2004 following a special meeting of Cavio's stockholders. In accordance with the merger, on February 20, 2004, through its wholly owned subsidiary, A/VII Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, acquired Cavio in exchange for 5,119,140 shares of our common stock. We recorded goodwill of $3,792,019 for this acquisition. 21

Esstec is a professional services company that focuses on e-commerce initiatives, interactive multimedia, and mobile software applications for clients in various industries, including the telecommunications and entertainment industries. During 2004, Esstec did not have any significant revenues or incur any significant expenses. Pakistan Ltd. was incorporated on April 19, 2000 to establish the business of software development for the international markets and to export software and technology. Esstec owns approximately 63.4% of Pakistan Ltd. 22

Veridicom Inc. designs, manufactures and delivers hardware and software products that enable strong authentication solutions based on fingerprint biometrics. Veridicom Inc. markets a complete fingerprint biometrics platform on which applications can be built. Cavio produces technology tools designed to protect users from fraud, misrepresentation, security and privacy issues by allowing users to biometrically authenticate themselves to secure control access and confirm identity across a number of industries. On January 21, 2004, Canada Inc. was formed to be the Canadian operating company for the public company. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of us and our subsidiaries Esstec, Pakistan Ltd., Veridicom, Cavio, and Canada Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority Interest Minority interest reflects the ownership of minority shareholders in the equity of Pakistan Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary less than wholly owned. Reclassifications For comparative purposes, prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year. Goodwill Goodwill was recorded at its purchase price and is not being amortized. Pursuant to SFAS 142 ("Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets") and SFAS 144 ("Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"), we have evaluated our goodwill for impairment and determined that the fair value of our goodwill is $4,728,546. Valuation of the Company's Common Stock Unless otherwise disclosed, all stock based transactions entered into by us have been valued at the market value of our common stock on the date the transaction was entered into or have been valued using the Modified Black-Scholes Model to estimate the fair market value. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management's expectations. Advertising Expenses We expense advertising costs as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we did not have significant advertising costs. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes payables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. 23

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)"). SFAS 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". SFAS 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123(R) as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), and believes that it could have an impact to the Company's overall results of operations depending on the number of stock options granted in a given year. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." The amendments made by SFAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. That exception required that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, to be recorded on a carryover basis. By focusing the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the FASB believes SFAS No.153 produces financial reporting that more faithfully represents the economics of the transactions. SFAS No.153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The provisions of SFAS No.153 shall be applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 153, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position. In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (" SFAS No. 151". The amendments made by SFAS 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 151, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," which is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments including certain instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. 24

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," for certain entities which do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest ("variable interest entities"). Variable interest entities will be required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both, as a result of holding variable interests, which are ownership, contractual, or other pecuniary interests in an entity. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. FIN 46 applies to public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual period. The Company's adoption of FIN 46 did not have any impact upon the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In March 2004, the FASB approved the consensus reached on the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1 that delays the effective date of the measurement and recognition guidance in EITF 03-1 until after further deliberations by the FASB. The disclosure requirements are effective only for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 and does not believe it will have an impact to the Company's overall combined results of operations or combined financial position. Once the FASB reaches a final decision on the measurement and recognition provisions, the Company will evaluate the impact of the adoption of EITF 03-1. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of various sensors, combos and parallel port units. Inventory is valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Furniture and Equipment Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization expense is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of 3-7 years. Depreciation expense was $47,188 and $18,015 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Patents At the acquisition of Veridicom, the Company evaluated the unused patents and determined the costs to secure the patents outweighed their intended use and was unable to find a party interested in purchasing the patents. The patents were originally recorded at cost and were being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The Company has valued the patents at $200,000. The Company is not amortizing the patents. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all funds with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 25

Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense represents the tax payable for the current period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $3,800,000 expiring beginning in 2020. Revenue Recognition Sales of services are recorded when performed in accordance with contracts. Revenues from software sales are recorded in accordance with SOP 97-2 'Software Revenue Recognition', which requires that revenue recognized from software arrangements be allocated to the various elements of the arrangement based on the relative fair market values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, post contract customer support, installation or training. Revenue from product services are recognized at the time services are provided. For fixed fee contracts, Esstec recognizes revenue based on the percentage completed, calculated as either the number of direct labor hours in the project to date divided by the estimated total direct labor hours, or based upon the completion of specific task benchmarks. It is Esstec's policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses can be estimated. Any revenues associated with pre-payments or pre-billings are deferred until revenue is earned. For non-fixed fee jobs, revenue is recognized as services are performed and adjusted to realization value, if necessary. Pakistan Ltd. recognizes revenue at the point/time the software is delivered/exported. Veridicom Inc. recognizes revenues at the point of shipment of products. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Comprehensive Loss The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130. "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive loss and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive loss as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive loss, which are excluded from net loss, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive loss presented in these consolidated financial statements resulted from translations of foreign currency financial statements. Foreign Currency Translation Pakistan Ltd. considers the Pakistan Rupee to be the functional currency of its operations. Cavio and Canada Inc. consider the Canadian Dollar to be the functional currency of their operations. The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar; accordingly, all amounts included in the financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars. ˇ Download Table Exchange Rates For the year Ending 2004 For the Year Ending 2003 -------------------- ----------------------------- ------------------------ Rupee Average .01715 .017331 Rupee Period end .01682 .017479 Canadian Dollar Average .76847 Canadian Dollar Period end .83084 26

Software Development Costs The software development costs are expensed as research and development costs as incurred until the software reached technological feasibility in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS 86"). Earnings Per Common Share The Company computes earnings per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128). The Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted loss per share is similar to the basic loss per share computation except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversions of those potential shares. However, such presentation is not required if the effect is antidilutive. Due to losses during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, no presentation is made. Results of Operations - Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 The following table sets forth certain statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003: 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ Revenues Net revenue $ 384,853 $ 281,997 Cost of goods sold 212,063 116,007 ------------ ------------ Gross profit (loss) 172,790 165,990 Operations General & administrative expense 3,441,793 1,727,517 Research & development expense 490,674 -- Technical operations expense 4,903 -- Depreciation expense 47,188 18,105 Impairment of goodwill -- 1,809,648 ------------ ------------ Income (loss) from operations (3,811,768) (3,389,280) Other income Other income (loss) 179,344 6,692 Interest expense (94,145) (60,835) Gain on forgiveness of debt -- 556,104 Impairment charges, other assets -- -- ------------ ------------ Income (loss) before minority interest (3,726,569) (2,887,319) Minority interest 6,308 4,629 ------------ ------------ Net (loss) income (3,720,261) (2,882,690) Other comprehensive income (loss): Foreign currency translation (141,695) (741) ------------ ------------ Total comprehensive income (loss) $ (3,861,263) $ (2,883,431) Earnings (loss) per share: Basic and fully diluted (loss) per common share $ (0.27) $ (0.51) Weighted average common shares outstanding basic and fully diluted 14,415,829 5,662,025 27

General Following the completion of the transaction with EssTec and Veridicom Inc. in 2003 and with Cavio in February 2004, we have been engaged primarily in aligning the operations of the subsidiaries with the objective of streamlining and consolidating operations as necessary, reducing costs and seeking additional capital. As part of the process of streamlining and consolidation of operations, we closed and relocated our Sunnyvale, California facility in April 2004. The direct costs incurred for this amounted to $31,575. Since May 2004, we have focused our resources on product development, including hardware and software enhancements, as well as on marketing efforts. Net Revenue Net revenue for fiscal 2004 of $384,853 increased by $102,856 compared to fiscal 2003. Net revenue in fiscal 2004 is mainly in respect of sales of capacitive fingerprint sensors, computer peripherals and software related to the use of our fingerprint authentication technology, whereas net revenue in fiscal 2003 was mainly in respect of software development and consulting services provide by EssTec. Such revenue in 2004 was not significant. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold during 2004 was mainly for product components purchased from suppliers and the cost of finished products from existing inventory. These amounted to $212,063 in fiscal 2004 and increased by $96,056 compared to fiscal 2003. This is due to the corresponding increase in net revenues. Cost of goods sold during 2003 were direct costs incurred by EssTec for the software development and consulting services rendered. Gross Profit The gross profit in fiscal 2004 of $172,790 was 44.9% of net sales compared to gross profit of $165,990 which was 58.9% of net sales in fiscal 2003. The variance in the gross profit of $6,799 is due to the change in revenue sources and product mix during the comparable periods. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses, which include non-cash compensation expense of, $359,100 amounted to $3,441,793 in fiscal 2004 compared to $1,727,517 in fiscal 2003. This increase of $1,714,276 in general and administrative expenses is mainly in respect of: o Salaries, which increased from $253,500 in 2003 to $775,000 in 2004 as a result of the hiring of new software development, hardware development and administrative staff; o Consulting expense, increased from $139,500 in 2003 to $775,000 in 2004. This increase includes $210,000 for sales representatives in the USA, $105,000 for investment consultancy services, $150,000 for remittances to our Pakistan operations for software development work and $92,000 for independent contractors of our operations in Sunnyvale; 28

o Professional services expense which increased from $336,400 in 2003 to $607,000 in 2004 due to substantial increase in accounting and audit fees; o Travel expenses, which increased from $93,000 in 2003 to $242,000 in 2004; o Rent expenses, which increased from $13,000 in 2003 to $145,838 in 2004 due to formation of the Canadian subsidiary and mergers; o Office administration expenses, which increased from $17,000 in 2003 to $108,898 in 2004. Research and Development Research and development expenditure for the fiscal 2004 was $490,674, compared to $20,689 in 2003 which was included in general and administrative expenses in the 2003 financial statements. The increase in this expense is mainly in respect of salaries for personnel in product development, including hardware and software enhancements. Interest Expense Interest expense in fiscal 2004 amounting to $94,145 was mostly for accrued interest on notes payable, compared to interest expense of $60,835 in fiscal 2003. The higher interest expense in fiscal 2004 is was mainly in respect of certain new borrowings during the year. Liquidity and Capital Resources To obtain funding for the purpose of payment of legal settlements, general corporate and operating purposes, including product development and enhancements, sales and marketing efforts and payment of consulting and legal fees, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd., AJW Partners, LLC, Alpha Capital, Enable Growth Partners L.P., Whalehaven Capital Fund Limited, Meadowbrook Opportunity Fund LLC and TCMP3 Partners on February 25, 2005 for the sale of (i) $5,100,000 in callable secured convertible notes and (ii) stock purchase warrants to buy 10,200,000 shares of our common stock. This prospectus relates to the resale of the common stock underlying these callable secured convertible notes and warrants. Provided that the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement are satisfied, the investors are obligated to provide us with an aggregate of $5,100,000 as follows: o $1,700,000 was disbursed on February 25, 2005; o $1,700,000 was disbursed between April 29, 2005 and May 9, 2005; and o $1,700,000 will be disbursed within five days of this prospectus being declared effective, so long as our common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, we have received a total of $3,400,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The callable secured convertible notes bear interest at 10%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and the principal is convertible into our common stock, at the investors' option, at $1.27. Interest on the callable secured convertible notes can be paid, at our option, in cash or common stock based upon the conversion price. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the conversion price of the callable secured convertible notes will be equal to the lesser of (i) $0.91 or (ii) 50.0% of the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock for the 5 days prior to the date a conversion notice is sent to us. The full principal amount of the callable secured convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of secured convertible notes. The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance. Half of the warrants are designated as Series A Warrants and have an exercise price of $3.00 per share and the other half are designated as Series B Warrants and have an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The conversion price of the callable secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the selling stockholder's position. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, we have granted the investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property and registration rights. 29

As a result of the foregoing financing, we currently have sufficient funds on hand to fund our operations for the second quarter. We intend to complete the second and third rounds of our private placement financing to fund our current and future operations. If successful in completing this financing, we may not be able to do so on terms that are not excessively dilutive to our existing stockholders or less costly than existing sources of financing. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, balance sheet and stock price and require us to implement cost reduction initiatives and curtail operations. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements None. Dividends and Distributions We have not paid any cash dividends to date. We intend to retain our future earnings, if any, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on either class of our stock in the foreseeable future. 30

BUSINESS Overview Veridicom International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Company," "we," and "us"), incorporated on September 9, 1987, under the name Perceptronics, Inc. From our inception through fiscal 2000, we were engaged in the design, development and manufacture of computer-based simulation systems for training and decision support. These systems included both hardware and software and were used to train personnel in the use of various military and commercial equipment. Much of our simulator business was in the foreign defense industry. The tightening of defense budgets worldwide, combined with the continuing consolidation and competition in the defense industry, negatively impacted the growth and profit opportunities for small companies such as ours. As a result, in July 2000, we refocused our business. In connection with the refocus, we sold the assets related to our computer based simulation system line of business to a developer and manufacturer of specialized defense simulation products. We then commenced development of commercial products in the area of Internet collaboration. However, we lacked the funds necessary to exploit our developed products. As a result, in October 2002, we entered into a license agreement with our then principal stockholder, Global Alpha Corporation ("GAC") pursuant to which GAC was granted an exclusive license to our software and systems commonly referred to as the "IC3D Framework" (the "System"). The System encompassed substantially all of our software including software developed to support multi-user online collaborative interactivity in a broad variety of applications employing a variety of virtual media over a number of networks including the Internet and intra-nets. Under the license agreement, GAC agreed to pay us a license fee of 10% of the revenue generated from the sale or use of the System up to $1.0 million, 9% up to $2.0 million, 8% up to $3.0 million and, thereafter, 7% of the revenue generated. No revenues have been generated to date. In connection with the license agreement, in October 2002 we terminated substantially all of our employees, and except for our license agreement, ceased all of our prior operating activities. Our principal activities became directed to reducing our liabilities and seeking possible acquisitions. Management's objective was to acquire an operating company that has experienced management and the potential for profitable growth in exchange for our securities. On April 28, 2003, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with EssTec, Inc., a privately-held Nevada corporation ("EssTec"). In accordance with the merger, on May 8, 2003, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Alpha Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, acquired EssTec in exchange for 4,259,496 shares of our common stock. The transaction contemplated by the agreement was intended to be a "tax-free" reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 351 and 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. On May 8, 2003, in connection with the EssTec merger, we changed our fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. On November 25, 2003, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Veridicom, Inc., a privately-held California corporation ("Veridicom"). In accordance with the merger, on November 25, 2003, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, A/V Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, acquired Veridicom in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of our common stock; 3,250,000 shares were issued to the holders of Veridicom stock and 250,000 shares were issued into escrow to cover indemnification obligations, if any, of Veridicom. The transaction contemplated by the agreement was intended to be a "tax-free" reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 351 and 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. On January 16, 2004, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Cavio Corporation, a privately-held Washington corporation ("Cavio"). The merger became effective on February 20, 2004 following a special meeting of Cavio's stockholders. In accordance with the merger, on February 20, 2004, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, A/VII Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, acquired Cavio in exchange for 5,119,140 shares of our common stock. The transaction contemplated by the agreement was intended to be a "tax-free" reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 351 and 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 31

Recent Developments We officially changed our name from Alpha Virtual, Inc. to Veridicom International, Inc. on February 23, 2004 and following the name change, shares of our common stock are traded under the symbol "VRDI" on the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB"). On February 25, 2005, we completed the first of three rounds of a private placement whereby we will issue up to an aggregate of $5,100,000 worth of 10% callable secured notes convertible into shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,200,000 shares of our common stock to certain accredited investors. The first of three equal installments of $1,700,000 was received in February, 2005, the second was received between April, 2005 and May, 2005 and the final closing of $1,700,000 is contingent upon triggering events set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. On March 8, 2005, we announced that MCP Asia Ltd, an investment and consulting firm from Hong Kong, together with Fook Vo Holding Ltd ("Fook Vo") based in Macau, are in discussions to provide the Company with marketing and sales services in the Hong Kong, Macau and China regions. From March 10 to March 16, 2005, we exhibited at CeBIT 2005 at the Hannover Fairgrounds in Hannover, Germany. CeBIT offers a forum for business-to-business, "B2B", solutions. On March 14, 2005 we announced the appointment of two new European representatives to expand our growing presence in the European marketplace. Mr. Theo Musallam is based in Zurich and will be representing us in Switzerland and Mr. Guenther Klix is based in Munich and will be representing us in Germany. Description of the Company Post-Merger General Following the merger with Cavio, we realigned our business strategy to leverage the core operations of each of our subsidiaries. We have five operational subsidiaries: EssTec, Esstec Pakistan, Veridicom Inc., Cavio, and Veridicom Canada. Since March 1, 2004, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of all pre-merger operations. This on-going review has included all facets of operations, including the supply chain, product development, previous sales and marketing agreements, internal controls and reporting systems. Based on this review, we have decided that a thorough reorganization of all of the companies is warranted, including a re-evaluation of the supply chain, method of manufacture, product strategy and other organizational procedures. Although distracting in the short-term, we believe that this review is in the long-term best interests of the Company and our stockholders. As part of the reorganization, we closed our Sunnyvale, California offices on April 15, 2004 in favor of a more cost effective and efficient development environment in the Pacific Northwest. Our core strategy is to build a comprehensive authentication suite of products and services, with market-specific applications that leverage the core identity management infrastructure. We believe there is a significant need for an auditable, scalable product solution capable of linking an individual to a specific electronic event or transaction - a strong authentication solution that safeguards legitimate interests and adheres to emerging electronic commerce legislation. Our identity management solutions employ public key infrastructure and a "virtual token" based technology to control, audit and monitor the identification processes for electronic events and transactions. We will focus on transforming the market for biometrics and growing the market beyond traditional security applications. In particular, the strategy will be to expand the traditional security offerings to include security and convenience value propositions for commercial or point-of-sale transactions. By developing customizable applications as well as authentication technology, we are endeavoring that our brand become synonymous with secure, authenticated transactions. 32
424B329th Page of 83TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
We offer a solution that we believe not only addresses an organization's current requirements for stronger and more scalable authentication and authorization, but also addresses a future vision for security, via a combination of centralized and distributed identity repositories and administration tools. Utilizing biometric technology, we provide organizations with an authentication solution that also provides users with increased convenience by reducing the reliance on passwords. We have a strong management team with combined experience in sales and marketing, vertical market knowledge, technology development, and hardware integrated circuit design. In addition, we will have access to a network of advisors and consultants with significant expertise in technology, government, security, and financial services. These advisors will be invited to form a more formal advisory board to provide strategic direction for products and services, and, they may be leveraged to provide targeted business development contacts in key target markets. There are several factors that management believes will provide new opportunities or present new challenges for us. We believe that regulatory, technological, and cultural changes will create new opportunities. International distribution arrangements are currently in place, while new channels are being developed. Product and Services Overview We provide a suite of identity management products, including hardware and software that utilize public key infrastructure (PKI), secure token-based technology, and fingerprint biometrics to authenticate and manage personal identities for a wide variety of applications and transactions. This platform provides a biometrically authenticated digital signature for financial, travel, and other applications. Veridicom's patented authentication and transaction technology enables real-time authentication of individuals anytime, anywhere, via the Internet, point-of-sale, security kiosk, and mobile devices. Identity Management Infrastructure Our core strategy is to build a comprehensive authentication suite of products and services, with market-specific applications that leverage the core identity management infrastructure. We believe that there is a significant need for an auditable and scalable product solution capable of linking an individual to a specific electronic event or transaction -- a strong authentication solution that safeguards legitimate business interests. Our identity management solutions employ public key infrastructure and a "virtual token" based technology to control, audit and monitor the identification processes for electronic events. We believe this provides organizations with several benefits: o Deployments of biometric technology provide strong authentication and validation of a user's identity eliminating the sole reliance on the vulnerable password/PIN infrastructure; o Enterprise middleware systems can move authenticated events securely in real-time over the Internet through a "trusted path"; o Creates an irrefutable and legally recognized "card-present" scenario for events conducted for previously anonymous Internet credit card transactions; and o Allows for the audit and assignment of a digital signature to any electronic event proving without question the time and origin of an event and actual event occurrence. We believe that our product portfolio allows organizations to leverage investments in existing IT infrastructure. We have an extensive portfolio of products and services that are currently available to customers, or that are available subject to customization and specific requirements definition. However, we realize the need to continue an aggressive product development strategy to meet the needs of the marketplace and advance the adoption of biometrics. Management believes that in general the industry faces continuous pressures to reduce the cost of devices and solutions in order to provide a greater ROI to organizations. As such, we endeavor to deliver additional products that provide a high degree of application flexibility to the end user. It is expected that we will build our products to meet the needs of both current and future state-of-the-art technology and will incorporate third party technology solutions where needed. 33

Patent Applications U.S. Patent App. Serial Title ----------------------- ----- 10/089,987 Spoof Detection for Biometric Sensing Systems 10/288,554 Method & System for Capturing Fingerprints from Multiple Swipe Industry Overview We believe that in the wake of the tragic events of September 11 and the heightened security risks posed by the prospect of random acts of terrorism, biometrics and the field of identity management are at the forefront of technological development. However, we believe that the tendency to-date has been for vendors to develop proprietary software and hardware that focuses on one segment of the identity verification and management equation. Because of their proprietary nature, many biometric technology products are inconsistent, impractical or incompatible with not only the existing `real world' needs and systems, but also other biometric products. Fingerprint recognition technology continues to dominate the market for biometric authentication, and management believes that this will continue for the foreseeable future due to its combination of accuracy, ease of use, and cost effectiveness. We believe that there are several increasingly important trends positively affecting the need for biometric technology: o the need to protect increasing amounts of sensitive and private information. Increased digitization of travel, medical, financial and security information requires stronger, less fallible modes of user authentication; o the increased amount of information has resulted in increased access requirements for corporate and personal uses. Physical and logical access requirements demands a more streamlined approach to identity management; o increased travel security requirements demand leading edge identification technology to improve security while streamlining the travel process; and o information access requirements have increased the proliferation of passwords. Unfortunately, as password requirements increase, the costs of managing passwords becomes prohibitive. Given the trends described above, we believe that there are inevitably going to be organizations that believe they can offer a variety of services or products that incorporate biometrics and may compete with our technology. Competitive Overview As the opportunities for strong authentication solutions increases, so will the competition. With significant brand recognition, patent portfolio, and technology solutions, we believe that we are well protected against increased competition. Furthermore, we believe that increased competition indirectly validates the business model and market potential for our solutions. The following companies have been identified as potential competitors due to their biometric focus and product mix: Identix, Bioscrypt, SAGEM, UPEK, Atrua, Authentec, 35

In addition to the above-mentioned entities, it is conceivable that we could face future indirect competition and market encroachment from companies such as VeriSign International and RSA, which currently offer alternative security and digital identity solutions not based on biometrics. However, these organizations could also present interesting partnering opportunities via bundled service offerings. Market Influences There are several factors that the Company believes will provide new opportunities or present new challenges for us. We believe that the primary market influences relate to regulatory, technological and cultural changes. Regulatory Changes Regulatory issues will continue to change the landscape for our technology. We believe that many of these legislative changes will present significant opportunities, such as: o HIPA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act governs the privacy of health information, and securing access to that information. We believe that biometrics is well suited to this task. o US-VISIT - The US Government is mandating that all visitors to the US be fingerprinted and have a digital photo taken. The US Government will soon require a biometric template (fingerprint) and digital photo in passports. o Department of Defense - The US and other defense agencies are increasing security requirements at facilities and increasing security surrounding information assets. We believe that biometrics is well suited to meeting this challenge. o National ID cards - Canada, UK, US, Italy, Australia, Bosnia, and other nations are evaluating national ID card programs. Many of these nations are also considering adding biometrics, and fingerprints in particular, as components of that ID card program. o Electronic Voting - Many municipal, regional, and national governments are contemplating and/or implementing electronic voting systems to avoid the voting debacle that plagued the 2000 US presidential election. As such, there is a strong need to authenticate voters for onsite and remote electronic voting. Technological Changes The biometrics industry is rapidly changing and we aim to remain at the leading edge of technology. In addition, we will focus on inventing, developing, and commercializing those technologies that we believe offer additional value to our customers. Cultural Changes Biometrics is still a new technology to the majority of consumers and employees around the world. However, we believe that recent mandates by the U.S. government requiring biometrics in passports and other security initiatives are facilitating public acceptance and rollout of biometrics. In addition, as information security becomes increasingly important to an organization's risk management policies, we believe that biometrics is getting increased attention for implementation at workplaces. As workplace enrollment increases, we believe that personal use of biometrics will increase accordingly. In addition, our suite of applications is targeted to drive more rapid adoption rate of biometric-based solutions. 36

Market Segments Financial Services The financial services industry has been slow to adopt biometrics as a core service offering. We believe that this is due to a number of factors, including cost, customer demand, risk vs. ROI of implementation, and availability of applications. We aim to change this scenario by offering financial services firms a variety of solutions aimed at increasing security; increasing convenience and offering a variety of authentication applications suitable for a broad organizational rollout. We will initially target those financial institutions that have the scale and market influence to push biometrics to their markets, as well as those institutions that are known for differentiating their service offering by providing leading edge technology and services. The strategy will be to concurrently encourage use of biometrics by other industries, encouraging the financial institutions to take notice. Travel & Transportation Travel providers are looking for new ways to generate revenue and increase both safety and the convenience aspects of travel for their passengers. We plan to propose our solution as a business opportunity, not just a security solution. It is expected that travelers will be charged user and/or transaction fees by the travel provider in exchange for additional benefits gained by using the system. Target customers within this market segment include travel agents, travel reservations, airlines, airports, hotels, and other travel service providers. We currently have an agreement with Uniglobe, which is part of an international travel service provider, to pilot its technology for the purposes of confirming individual client itineraries and to approve the processing of travel service purchases with client customized payment instructions. Following the successful rollout, it is planned that this model will be expanded to include other industry travel partners such as airlines, hotels, etc. Public Sector We believe that there are many opportunities in the public sector, including eGovernment, health care, and education. We believe that the authentication product suite has far reaching implications for members of this unique but broad-based environment. Specifically, we believe that our products are ideally suited to mimic traditional dynamic environments, for example, in the fields of electronic education, and industry accreditization. The authentication suite overcomes previously unaddressed variables including geographic diversity, can handle multiple users interacting in real-time and can control varying levels of clearance and access to allow for the appropriate flow of information. While we recognize that government opportunities offer potential for future sales, we also recognize that they generally yield a longer sales cycle to close. To that end, we are focusing on establishing strategic relationships and partnerships with a variety of public sector organizations and allied complementary markets to further our efforts within this market. Retail We intend to actively pursue partnerships with leading retail organizations for product distribution purposes. It is expected that selected retailers will have the ability to sell components of the Authentication Service bundle and accordingly to share in revenues generated from the product/service sale. It is expected that additional transaction related fees will generally not be shared with partners as support and ongoing customer relationships will be managed by us. The strategy in pursuing the retail market is twofold: First, we believe that customers will be attracted to the VPAS product as a means of improving security and convenience for PC and web logon. As their comfort with the technology increases, we believe that these users will gravitate towards using other services within the Veridicom Authentication Service (digital signatures, authenticated payment, etc). Second, as more scanners get deployed into the market, we believe that other organizations could be inclined to adopt the Veridicom International solution to keep up with the demands of their customers. 37

Distribution We will approach our markets via a combination of direct sales and partnerships with international systems integrators and resellers. Some distributors are already in place as they were inherited from our previous structure, and, as such, we are currently in the process of evaluating the performance and suitability of those partners as we move forward. Direct Sales We have a number of direct sales representatives in various regions around the world. These representatives will be responsible for both direct sales to strategic customers as well as supporting the network of channel partners and OEM relationships in various geographic regions. Development and Distribution Partners Distribution partners will be evaluated based on performance, strategic value, future potential and/or additional value-add. Software Development Kits will be available to enable integration partners, development partners, and OEM's to develop specific applications or other devices around our product family. OEM Integration We will also endeavor to integrate our sensors and authentication software with OEM's and computer manufacturers. In addition, we believe that further opportunities exist by integrating sensor chips with mobile devices such as PDA's and mobile phones. Promotion A variety of strategies will be employed to promote our product and service portfolio. These initiatives include: o Bundling of our services; o Bundling with third party applications and software; o Joint partnerships with leading industry organizations; o Trade shows; o Leverage personal contacts and utilize network of key industry advisors; and o Leverage network of investment brokers and their clients. Transition investor support to market support. Research and Development Research and development expenditure for the fiscal 2004 was approximately $490,674. Research and development expenditure are in respect of salaries for personnel in product development, including hardware and software enhancements. Legislative Actions and Potential New Accounting Pronouncements In order to comply with the newly adopted Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and proposed accounting changes by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we may be required to increase our internal controls, hire additional personnel and additional outside legal, accounting and advisory services, all of which could cause our general and administrative costs to increase. Proposed changes in the accounting rules, including legislative and other proposals to account for employee stock options as compensation expense among others, could increase the expenses that we report under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and could adversely affect our operating results. 38

We also maintain short-term tenancies for office space located in Washington, DC., London (UK) and Lahore (Pakistan). All of our facilities are in good repair. We believe that our existing facilities will be adequate to meet our needs for the foreseeable future. Should we need additional space, management believes it will be able to secure additional space at commercially reasonable rates. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Five former employees of Veridicom, Inc. (which we acquired in November 2003) filed claims against us between May and July of 2003 with the Labor Commissioner in the State of California. The former employees allege that we owe unpaid wages, salaries and vacation pay for various periods between July 2000 and November 2003 amounting to a total of $111,651. We have accrued for this liability in our financial statements as at December 31, 2004. On March 21, 2005 one of the claimants signed a letter of agreement to convert his claim of $ 61,053.53 into stock based on the closing price of our common stock on that day of $2.40 per share, or a total of 25,439 shares for his entire claim. However, this settlement is subject to obtaining certain waivers and documents from the holders of our Callable Secured Convertible Notes If and when the above settlement is completed, the balance of outstanding claims against us will be $50,597. 39

Upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities and liquidation preference of any outstanding common stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. We have appointed U. S. Stock Transfer Corporation, 1745 Gardena Ave., Glendale, CA 91204-2991, as transfer agent for our shares of Common Stock. INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our bylaws further provide that our Board of Directors has sole discretion to indemnify our officers and other employees. We may limit the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and executive officers, but have not done so. We are required to advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly on request, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with that proceeding on receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of that director or executive officer to repay those amounts if it should be determined ultimately that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise. We are not, however, required to advance any expenses in connection with any proceeding if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by our Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Board members that (a) the party seeking an advance acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his or her duty to us or our stockholders and (b) as a result of such actions by the party seeking an advance, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that such party is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to the applicable sections of our bylaws. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser; o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; o privately-negotiated transactions; o short sales that are not violations of the laws and regulations of any state or the United States; o broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; o through the writing of options on the shares; o a combination of any such methods of sale; and o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 48

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time. The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling stockholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts. The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into. The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the event that the selling stockholders are deemed affiliated purchasers or distribution participants within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In regards to short sells, the selling stockholder can only cover its short position with the securities they receive from us upon conversion. In addition, if such short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling stockholder will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders, or their transferees or assignees, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. If the selling stockholders notify us that they have a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholders and the broker-dealer. 49

PENNY STOCK The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: o that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and o the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must o obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and o make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: o sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and o that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. 50

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants unless the selling stockholders exercise the warrants on a cashless basis. Assuming all the shares registered below are sold by the selling stockholders, none of the selling stockholders will continue to own any shares of our common stock. The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered. ˇ Enlarge/Download Table ------------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------- Total Total Shares of Percentage Percentage Common Stock of Common Shares of Beneficial of Common Issuable Upon Stock, Common Stock Beneficial Percentage of Ownership Stock Owned Conversion of Assuming Included in Ownership Common Stock After the After Name Notes Full Prospectus Before the Owned Before Offering Offering and/or Warrants* Conversion Offering** Offering** (9) (9) ------------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------- AJW Offshore, Ltd. 3,762,992 19.18% Up to 832,775 (1) 4.99% -- -- (2)(8) 7,525,984 shares of common stock ------------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------- AJW Qualified 3,261,260 17.06% Up to 832,775 (1) 4.99% -- -- Partners, LLC (2)(8) 6,522,520 shares of common stock ------------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------- AJW Partners, LLC 1,170,709 6.88% Up to 832,775 (1) 4.99% -- -- (2)(8) 2,341,417 shares of common stock ------------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------- New Millennium 167,244 1.04% Up to 167,356 (1) 1.10% -- -- Capital Partners 334,488 II, LLC (2)(8) shares of common stock ------------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------- Alpha Capital 1,672,441 9.54% Up to 832,775 (1) 4.99% -- -- (3)(8) 3,344,882 shares of common stock ------------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ ------------- Enable Growth 836,220 5.01% Up to 832,775 (1) 4.99% -- -- Partners L.P.

* This column represents an estimated number based on a current conversion price of $1.27, divided into the principal amount. ** These columns represent the aggregate maximum number and percentage of shares that the selling stockholders can own at one time (and therefore, offer for resale at any one time) due to their 4.99% limitation. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholders has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholders has the right to acquire within 60 days. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the secured convertible notes is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of the common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table. (1) The actual number of shares of common stock offered in this prospectus, and included in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, includes such additional number of shares of common stock as may be issued or issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible notes and exercise of the related warrants by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction involving the common stock, in accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However the selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert their secured convertible notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock set forth in the table for the selling stockholders exceeds the number of shares of common stock that the selling stockholders could own beneficially at any given time through their ownership of the secured convertible notes and the warrants. In that regard, the beneficial ownership of the common stock by the selling stockholder set forth in the table is not determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. (2) Some of the selling stockholders are affiliates of each other because they are under common control.

TERMS OF SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with nine accredited investors on February 25, 2005 for the sale of (i) $5,100,000 in callable secured convertible notes and (ii) warrants to buy 10,200,000 shares of our common stock. This prospectus relates to the resale of the common stock underlying these secured convertible notes and warrants. The investors are obligated to provide us with an aggregate of $5,100,000 as follows: o $1,700,000 was disbursed on February 25, 2005; o $1,700,000 was disbursed between April, 2005 and May, 2005 o $1,700,000 will be disbursed within five days of this prospectus being declared effective, so long as our common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, we have received a total of $3,400,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The funds from the sale of the callable secured convertible notes will be used for business development purposes, business acquisitions, working capital needs, pre-payment of interest, payment of consulting and legal fees and borrowing repayment. The callable secured convertible notes bear interest at 10%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and the principal is convertible into our common stock, at the investors' option, at $1.27. Interest on the callable secured convertible notes can be paid, at our option, in cash or common stock based upon the conversion price. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the conversion price of the callable secured convertible notes will be equal to the lesser of (i) $0.91 or (ii) 50.0% of the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock for the 5 days prior to the date a conversion notice is sent to us. The full principal amount of the callable secured convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of secured convertible notes. The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance. Half of the warrants are designated as Series A Warrants and have an exercise price of $3.00 per share and the other half are designated as Series B Warrants and have an exercise price of $5.00 per share. In addition, the conversion price of the secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event that we issue common stock at a price below the fixed conversion price, below market price, with the exception of any securities issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The conversion price of the callable secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the selling stockholder's position. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, we have granted the investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property and registration rights. The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance. Half of the warrants are designated as Series A Warrants and have an exercise price of $3.00 per share and the other half are designated as Series B Warrants and have an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The selling stockholders will be entitled to exercise the warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event that the selling stockholder exercises the warrants on a cashless basis, then we will not receive any proceeds. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event we issue common stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of this warrant or issued in connection with the callable secured convertible notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 25, 2005. 53

Upon the issuance of shares of common stock below the market price, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced accordingly. The market price is determined by averaging the last reported sale prices for our shares of common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding such issuance as set forth on our principal trading market. The exercise price shall be determined by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the dilutive issuance by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is equal to the sum of the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the offering plus the quotient of the amount of consideration received by us in connection with the issuance divided by the market price in effect immediately prior to the issuance. The denominator of such issuance shall be equal to the number of shares outstanding after the dilutive issuance. The conversion price of the secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the selling stockholder's position. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert their secured convertible notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. A complete copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement and related documents are filed with the SEC as exhibits to our Form SB-2 relating to this prospectus or incorporated by reference therein. LEGAL MATTERS Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, New York, New York will issue an opinion with respect to the validity of the shares of common stock being offered hereby. Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP is also the owner of 50,000 shares of our common stock, which were issued in connection with the provision of legal services.

AJ. ROBBINS, P.C. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 216 SIXTEENTH STREET SUITE 600 DENVER, COLORADO 80202 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Veridicom International, Inc. Seattle, Washington We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Veridicom International, Inc.. as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Veridicom International, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. AJ. ROBBINS, P.C. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Denver, Colorado February 11, 2005 F-1

VERIDICOM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ALPHA VIRTUAL, INC.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Background Veridicom International, Inc., (the Company, formerly known as Alpha Virtual, Inc. ("Alpha") is a Delaware Corporation formerly headquartered in California that was formed on September 9, 1987. The name of the Company was changed to Veridicom International, Inc. in February 2004. The Company consolidated its corporate offices in Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia in April 2004. Going Concern The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss during 2004 of $3,720,261 and has a working capital deficit, which raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently devoting its efforts to raising additional capital and investigating potential merger candidates. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital, and ultimately, achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Mergers On April 28, 2003 the Company and Esstec Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. In accordance with the Merger, the Company, a Nevada Corporation, acquired Esstec in exchange for 4,276,162 shares of Alpha's common stock. For accounting purposes Esstec acquired Alpha in a reverse merger under the purchase method of accounting. The financial statements in the filings of Alpha became those of Esstec. The legal entity (Alpha) retained its name until it was changed to Veridicom International, Inc. in February 2004. Thus, the financial statements are still those of "Esstec, Inc." On November 25, 2003, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Veridicom, Inc. (Veridicom), a California corporation, through AAC, a Nevada corporation, whereby the Company acquired Veridicom in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of Veridicom's common stock. 3,250,000 shares were issued to the holders of Veridicom's stock, and 250,000 shares were issued into escrow to cover Veridicom's indemnification obligations, if any. Veridicom's stockholders owned approximately 35% of the Company's outstanding common stock as of November 25, 2003. F-6

VERIDICOM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ALPHA VIRTUAL, INC.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Goodwill Goodwill was recorded at its purchase price and is not being amortized. Pursuant to statements of financial accounting standards 142 ("Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets") and SFAS 144 ("Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"), the company has evaluated its goodwill for impairment and determined that the fair value of its goodwill is $4,728,546. Valuation of the Company's Common Stock Unless otherwise disclosed, all stock based transactions entered into by the Company have been valued at the market value of the Company's common stock on the date the transaction was entered into or have been valued using the Black-Scholes Model to estimate the fair market value. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management's expectations. Advertising Expenses The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not have significant advertising costs. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes payables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)"). SFAS 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". SFAS 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123(R) as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), and believes that it could have an impact to the Company's overall results of operations depending on the number of stock options granted in a given year.

VERIDICOM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ALPHA VIRTUAL, INC.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." The amendments made by SFAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. That exception required that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, to be recorded on a carryover basis. By focusing the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the FASB believes SFAS No.153 produces financial reporting that more faithfully represents the economics of the transactions. SFAS No.153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The provisions of SFAS No.153 shall be applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 153, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position. In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (" SFAS No. 151". The amendments made by SFAS 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 151, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," which is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments including certain instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. F-10

VERIDICOM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ALPHA VIRTUAL, INC.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," for certain entities which do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest ("variable interest entities"). Variable interest entities will be required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both, as a result of holding variable interests, which are ownership, contractual, or other pecuniary interests in an entity. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. FIN 46 applies to public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual period. The Company's adoption of FIN 46 did not have any impact upon the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In March 2004, the FASB approved the consensus reached on the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1 that delays the effective date of the measurement and recognition guidance in EITF 03-1 until after further deliberations by the FASB. The disclosure requirements are effective only for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 and does not believe it will have an impact to the Company's overall combined results of operations or combined financial position. Once the FASB reaches a final decision on the measurement and recognition provisions, the Company will evaluate the impact of the adoption of EITF 03-1. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of various sensors, combos and parallel port units. Inventory is valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Furniture and Equipment Furniture and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization expense is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of 3-7 years. Depreciation expense was $47,188 and $18,015 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. F-11

VERIDICOM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ALPHA VIRTUAL, INC.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Patents At the acquisition of Veridicom, the Company evaluated the patents and determined the costs to secure the unused patents outweighed their intended use and was unable to find a party interested in purchasing the patents. The patents were originally recorded at cost and were being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The Company has valued the patents at $200,000. The company is not amortizing the patents. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all funds with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense represents the tax payable for the current period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $3,800,000 expiring beginning in 2020. Revenue Recognition Sales of services are recorded when performed in accordance with contracts. Revenues from software sales are recorded in accordance with SOP 97-2 'Software Revenue Recognition', which requires that revenue recognized from software arrangements be allocated to the various elements of the arrangement based on the relative fair market values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, post contract customer support, installation or training. Revenue from product services are recognized at the time services are provided. For fixed fee contracts, Esstec recognizes revenue based on the percentage completed, calculated as either the number of direct labor hours in the project to date divided by the estimated total direct labor hours, or based upon the completion of specific task benchmarks. It is Esstec's policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses can be estimated. Any revenues associated with pre-payments or pre-billings are deferred until revenue is earned. For non-fixed fee jobs, revenue is recognized as services are performed and adjusted to realization value, if necessary. Pakistan Ltd. recognizes revenue at the point/time the software is delivered/exported. Veridicom Inc. recognizes revenues at the point of shipment of products. F-12

VERIDICOM INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ALPHA VIRTUAL, INC.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Comprehensive Loss The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130. "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive loss and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive loss as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive loss, which are excluded from net loss, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive loss presented in these consolidated financial statements resulted from translations of foreign currency financial statements. Foreign Currency Translation Pakistan Ltd. considers the Pakistan Rupee to be the functional currency of its operations. Cavio and Canada Inc. consider the Canadian Dollar to be the functional currency of their operations. The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar; accordingly, all amounts included in the financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars. Exchange Rates For the year Ending 2004 For the Year Ending 2003 -------------- ------------------------ ------------------------ Rupee Average .01715 .017331 Rupee Period end .01682 .017479 Canadian Dollar Average .76847 Canadian Dollar Period end .83084 Software Development Costs The software development costs are expensed as research and development costs as incurred until the software reaches technological feasibility in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS 86"). Earnings Per Common Share The Company computes earnings per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128). The Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted loss per share is similar to the basic loss per share computation except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversions of those potential shares. However, such presentation is not required if the effect is antidilutive. Due to losses during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, no presentation is made. F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Subsequent to December 31, 2004, the Company has reached a full settlement with the lender. Under the settlement terms, the total interest payable is to be limited to a maximum of $20,000, of which $10,000 was paid in March 2005. Also, $65,000 of the principal was repaid in January 2005. A director of the Company is an associate of the lender's parent company. During the year ending December 31, 2004, 157,140 shares were issued upon conversion of $165,000 of notes. These conversions were inadvertently omitted on the June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 quarterly financial statements which would have reduced debt by $165,000 and increased equity by the same amount. The effect of any interest adjustment for the above in the respective quarters is not significant. The Company has an unsecured short term loan from Tall Enterprises Ltd. (a company controlled by Terry Laferte, an officer of the Company) amounting to $66,467 as at December 31, 2004; bearing interest at 7% per annum and due on or before June 30, 2005. This loan was paid in full in March, 2005. The Company has an unsecured loan from Global Ventures Advisors, a company controlled by a director of the Company's subsidiary in Pakistan which as of December 31, 2004 amounted to $416,214; bearing interest at 12% per annum and due on or before June 30, 2006, with an option to convert to common stock in the event of default in repayment by the Company. NOTE 6 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock based compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123). The standard requires the Company to present the "fair value" method with respect to stock-based compensation of consultants and other non-employees. The Company did not change its method of accounting with respect to stock options; the Company continues to account for these under the "intrinsic value" method. The Company recognized $359,100 as stock based compensation to the Company's CEO for the year ended December 31, 2004. This brings the total number of vested shares to December 31, 2004 to 62,500 out of the total 150,000 shares. NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has entered into agreements with Manhattan Capital Partners ("Manhattan") and its affiliates to provide consulting and stock placement services. The Company paid Manhattan a total of $316,028 during the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company paid Manhattan a total of $205,673 during the year ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003 Manhattan had advanced the Company $110,005 in a non-interest bearing short-term loan, which was repaid in 2004. The Company has amounts outstanding for prior services rendered by affiliates of Manhattan totaling an additional $208,771 and is negotiating to reduce the amounts owed under this agreement. Manhattan is related due to one of the principals who is a director of the Company. The Company has an unsecured, non-interest bearing short term advances from Paul Mann, CEO and President of the Company, amounted to $218,899 as of December 31, 2004. These advances are without any specified repayment terms. On July 15, 2003 the Company entered into a consulting agreement for marketing strategy and support services for a term of three months and at the rate of $7,000 per month plus the reimbursement of out of pocket expenses.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

The Company is currently devoting its efforts to raising additional capital.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

GOODWILL Goodwill was recorded at its purchase price and is not being amortized. the Company has evaluated its goodwill for impairment pursuant to SFAS 142 ("Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets") and SFAS 144 ("Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"), and determined that the fair value of the Company's goodwill is $4,728,546. VALUATION OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK Unless otherwise disclosed, all stock based transactions entered into by the Company have been valued at the market value of our common stock on the date the transaction was entered into or have been valued using the Black-Scholes Model to estimate the fair market value. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. Aggregate potential credit losses have so far not exceeded management's expectations. ADVERTISING EXPENSES We expense advertising costs as incurred. During the period ended March 31, 2005, we did not have significant advertising costs. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes payables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items.

FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization expense is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of 3-7 years. Depreciation expense was $17,267 and $7,625 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. PATENTS At the acquisition of Veridicom Inc., we evaluated the unused patents and determined the costs to secure the patents outweighed their intended use and were unable to find a party interested in purchasing the patents. The patents were originally recorded at cost and were being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The Company has valued the patents at $200,000. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all funds with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. INCOME TAXES We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense represents the tax payable for the current period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $3,800,000 expiring beginning in 2020. REVENUE RECOGNITION Sales of services are recorded when performed in accordance with contracts. Revenues from software sales are recorded in accordance with SOP 97-2 `Software Revenue Recognition', which requires that revenue recognized from software arrangements be allocated to the various elements of the arrangement based on the relative fair market values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, post contract customer support, installation or training. Revenue from product services is recognized at the time service is provided. For fixed fee contracts, Esstec recognizes revenue based on the percentage completed, calculated as either the number of direct labor hours in the project to date divided by the estimated total direct labor hours, or based upon the completion of specific task benchmarks. It is Esstec's policy to record contract losses in their entirety in the period in which such losses can be estimated. Any revenues associated with pre-payments or pre-billings are deferred until revenue is earned. For non-fixed fee jobs, revenue is recognized as services are performed and adjusted to realization value, if necessary. Pakistan Ltd. Recognizes revenue at the point/time the software is delivered/exported. Veridicom Inc. recognizes revenues at the point of shipment of products. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-27

COMPREHENSIVE LOSS We utilize Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive loss and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive loss as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive loss, which are excluded from net loss, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive loss presented in these consolidated financial statements resulted from translations of foreign currency financial statements. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS Software development costs were expensed as research and development costs as incurred until the software reached technological feasibility in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS 86"). EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE We compute earnings (loss) per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS No. 128). This statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share (EPS) previously found in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share, and makes them more comparable to international EPS standards. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. In addition, the Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. NOTE 3 - FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Pakistan Ltd. considers the Pakistan Rupee to be the functional currency of its operations. Cavio and Canada Inc. consider the Canadian Dollar to be the functional currency of their operations. The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar; accordingly, all amounts included in the financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the period For the period Ending Ending Exchange Rates March 31, 2005 March 31, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rupee Average .01683 .01745 Rupee Period end .01684 .01745 Canadian Dollar Average .81500 .76260 Canadian Dollar Period end .82672 .75884 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, RELATED PARTY The Company inadvertently repaid a note that was previously converted to equity.

The closing of the first round of the Private Placement resulted in aggregate proceeds to the Company of $1,700,000. Subsequent to March 31, 2005, the Company completed the second round of the private placement resulting in aggregate proceeds amounting to $1,700,000. The third closing of $1,700,000 is contingent upon triggering events set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Notes have a term of 3 years and bear interest at 10% per annum, which is payable monthly; provided, however, that the interest rate shall reset at 0% for any monthly period in which the Company's stock price is greater than 125% of the "Initial Market Price," which is defined as 100% of the volume weighted average of the Company's common stock for the five days immediately prior to closing, as reported on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
