PART I Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, companies are provided with a "safe harbor" for making forward-looking statements about the potential risks and rewards of their strategies. Forward-looking statements often include the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or similar expressions. In this registration, forward-looking statements also include: o statements about our business plans; o statements about the potential for the development, regulatory approval and public acceptance of new services; o estimates of future financial performance; o predictions of national or international economic, political or market conditions; o statements regarding other factors that could affect our future operations or financial position; and o other statements that are not matters of historical fact. These statements may be found under "Management's Discussion and Analysis," "Plan of Operations" and "Description of Business" as well as in this Amendment 1 to Form 10-SB generally. Our ability to achieve our goals depends on many known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and business conditions. These factors could cause our actual performance and results to differ materially from those described or implied in forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Amendment 1 to Form 10-SB. We believe it is in the best interests of our investors to use forward-looking statements in discussing future events. However, we are not required to, and you should not rely on us to, revise or update these statements or any factors that may affect actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS a. Organization of AssureTec Holdings AssureTec Holdings, Inc. ("AssureTec Holdings", "Holdings" or "the Company"- formerly named Tech Ventures, Inc.) was formed as a Delaware corporation on June 12, 2002 by Element 21 Golf Company ("Element 21"- formerly named BRL Holdings, Inc.), a publicly traded company quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") under the symbol EGLF. Element 21 acquired all the common stock of AssureTec Systems, Inc., a privately held company engaged in security solutions for identification documents ("AssureTec Systems" or "Systems") in November 2001. On April 1, 2002, Element 21 exchanged 2,852,000 of the shares of Systems common stock that it had received in the -1-
10SB12G/A4th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
acquisition of Systems for 5,704,000 shares of Element 21 common stock, from substantially all the founders and consultants from whom Element 21's interest in Systems was originally acquired. In addition, options to acquire 4,750,000 shares of Element 21 common stock then held by these individuals were cancelled. As a result of these transactions and the issuance of additional shares of Systems common stock to employees upon the exercise of stock options, Element 21's ownership of Systems decreased to 34.2% of the outstanding shares of Systems' common stock. Element 21 undertook this latter transaction because Systems, a development stage company, is in a entirely different industry that requires a different management focus, a different business and strategic focus, different operating characteristics, a different investment profile, different sources of capital, and a different identity. It is our understanding that Element 21 did not believe it could focus its financial and management resources properly on its own business and still be able to generate sufficient capital to support Systems as a wholly owned subsidiary. After Holdings was formed by Element 21, Element 21 contributed to Holdings all the Systems common stock owned by Element 21. At the time of the formation of Holdings, these 2,716,900 shares of Systems common stock represented a 34.2% ownership of Systems by Holdings. Element 21 also contributed into Holdings stock ownership it held in three corporations, Biorelease Technologies, Inc., IJAM Inc, and Advanced Conductor Technologies, all of which were inactive and carried by Element 21 at no value. A total of 5,433,800 shares of Holdings common stock were issued to Element 21 Golf in consideration for the contribution of Element 21's investment in Systems along with the other three zero value entities contributed by Element 21. Since its formation, Holdings' only material asset has been its investment in Systems. Systems, a development stage company, was formed as a Delaware corporation in October 2001. Systems' business is the selling of technology that identifies and authenticates documents that are used to enable its customers to recognize and validate a large variety of travel documents automatically. (See - The Business of AssureTec Systems, Inc.). In March 2004, Holdings acquired the remaining outstanding common stock of Systems by issuing to each holder of the common stock of Systems two shares of Holdings common stock in exchange for one share of Systems common stock (the "Systems Exchange"). Since that date, Systems has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. Immediately after the Systems Exchange, Holdings effected a 1-for-31 reverse split of Holdings common stock and securities convertible into Holdings common stock. As part of the Systems Exchange, Holdings also issued one share of Holdings Preferred Stock in exchange for each outstanding share of Preferred Stock of Systems (a total of 601 shares). In April 2004, Holdings commenced a private offering of its Series A-2 Preferred Stock, pursuant to which it issued 25.2 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock to officers of the Company and of its subsidiary for gross proceeds of $67,800 in cash and in satisfaction of a total of $184,200 of debt. The shares -2-
10SB12G/A5th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
of Series A-2 Preferred Stock were later cancelled, upon approval of the Series A-2 holders, and exchanged for a total of 252 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Between May 2004 and November 2005 the Company issued an additional 3,560 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for aggregate proceeds of $3.2 million pursuant to one private placement. As of November 15, 2005, there were a total of 4,161 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding. On September 1, 2005 Holdings initiated a private placement to accredited investors only of up to $1 million of debentures with warrants to purchase common stock. These debentures have a six month term and bear interest at 12% annually. For each $3.00 of debentures purchased, Holdings issued one warrant to purchase one share of Holdings common stock at $6.00 per share for a period of one year from the date of investment or upon an initial public offering by Holdings, whichever occurs earlier. This private offering raised gross proceeds of $1.125 million and net proceeds of approximately $1.035 million and in October 2005, the Company issued warrants to acquire 375,667 shares of Common Stock. On September 15, 2005 Holdings commenced a private offering to accredited investors only of up to 1,250,000 shares of Holdings common stock. Pursuant to this private offering, the Company is offering units for gross proceeds of $12.00 per unit. Each unit is comprised of two shares of common stock at $6.00 per share with one warrant to acquire one share of common stock at $6.00 per share, for each two shares of common stock purchased. The warrants issued in this offering are exercisable for a period of one year from the date of investment or upon an initial public offering by Holdings, whichever occurs earlier. As of October 31, 2005, a total of 333,333 shares have been sold, and 166,667 warrants have been granted, pursuant to this offering raising gross proceeds of $2.0 million, of which $1.125 million was applied to retire the September 1, 2005 debentures. AssureTec Holdings has no operations except for the activities of AssureTec Systems, Inc. and, therefore, the following discussion of products, markets and business opportunities relates solely to AssureTec Systems, Inc. The financial information has been prepared using the historical records of both AssureTec Holdings, Inc. and AssureTec Systems, Inc. The operations of AssureTec Holdings, Inc. are limited and consist primarily of certain management costs, such as compensation and third party management and accounting services. Historical references to the Company's operations primarily consist of those transactions executed by AssureTec Systems, Inc. in the development of its integrated identity document management applications. Element 21 intends to effect a spin-off of Element 21's interest in Holdings (the "Holdings Spin-Off") pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Holdings Spin-Off will be pro-rata to Element 21 stockholders of records as of October 4, 2002, excluding, in accordance with the consent of such stockholders, shares held by -3-

stockholders who received shares of Element 21 common stock as of October 3, 2002, in connection with the acquisition by Element 21 of Systems. b. The Business of AssureTec Systems, Inc. AssureTec Systems is a development stage company that is a provider of technology that enables security solutions to automatically recognize, manage and authenticate identification documents. With its shipment in early 2004 of hardware and software to be used at the international airport in Santiago, Chile, AssureTec Systems commenced entry into this document security field as an integrated solution provider combining its proprietary hardware and software product lines - i-Dentify(TM) Reader/Authenticator and AssureID(TM) Software and Knowledge Base, respectively. These products, combined with biometrics and associated integration software provided by others, provide a cost-effective and automated answer to an essential security question--"What is the risk of entry associated with this identity as presented?" In addition to the Chilean government, we have sold our products and services either for production usage or pilot testing for several end-users including the U.S. Transportation Security Agency, U.S. Department of State, Ministry of Immigration of Australia, and multiple U.S. state and Canadian provincial motor vehicle departments. Systems has generated revenues of approximately $9,700, $290,000 and $767,000 in fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. We are continuing to develop our business by aggressively targeting end users and major systems integrators and value-add resellers serving our target markets as described further below under "Target Markets" and "Marketing Strategy." Government-issued ID documents come in various sizes, colors and quality levels. Unlike the field of telecommunications in which all manufacturers agree in advance on conventions and standards so as to enable network services and solutions, the world of passports and government-issued ID documents has few standards. Countries issuing approximately 60% of the most widely used passports subscribe to International Civil Aviation Organization ("ICAO") standards developed by the airline industry almost 10 years ago. But even these "ICAO standard" passports are quite often issued and printed "off spec." In addition, national identity cards, drivers' licenses, and visas represent over a thousand additional types of government issued ID documents worldwide. Since the terrorist events of September 11, 2001 in the United States, almost every government is struggling with increasing the security of its issued documents in order to strengthen its borders and protect critical infrastructure. New biometric and smart card solutions are proposed and tested every day. Absent a cooperative effort to replace every issued identity document by virtually every government in the world, identity documents that are already issued in multiple formats and pursuant to multiple standards will be in circulation for another twenty to thirty years. Additionally, when new smart card and enhanced passport systems are placed in service, they will add to a growing list of disparate documents that a border agent or facilities control agent must monitor and evaluate. -4-
10SB12G/A7th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
We sell our identity document authentication products and services primarily through domestic and international resellers, distributors and systems integrators into three target markets: border management, travel, and access control. We maintain a web site describing our products and services in detail (http://www.assuretec.com). Targeted Market Segments The lack of worldwide standards for over 192 countries(1) results in identification documents coming in various sizes, colors, quality levels, and varying significantly in security features. Absent a cooperative effort to replace all identity documents throughout the world, documents that are already in use are likely to be in circulation for up to thirty years. By enabling effective authentication methods to existing documents already in circulation, we immediately add value and significance to the automated authentication and security industry. Public concern and new pending legislation that is affecting border management and travel security is stimulating demand for improved security operations with methods in place to protect the public's privacy. Based upon published data, management believes that aggregate worldwide revenues for the automated authentication and security industry could approximate $10 billion by 2008(2). The following points relate to market opportunities, where our technology could be specifically applied: 1) The Government Accounting Office (GAO) reports that in 2002, there were about 440 million primary inspections conducted at the 330 primary land, air and sea entry points, by 4,775 inspectors(3) of which 279 million inspections were of foreign nationals(4). In addition, management estimates there are over several thousand secondary land, air and sea entry points. 2) Commercial air travel use exceeded 1.5 billion passengers at over 5,000 public and 13,000 private airports(5). ------------------------- (1) www.countrywatch.com (2) GAO, Brookings Institution, HISA, IATA, Lehman Brothers (3) "Protecting the American Homeland; A Preliminary Analysis" 2002 Pg 32 and ibid Report to Congressional Committees pg30 (4) ibid Report to Congressional Committees pg 54 (5) Department of Transportation Statistics December 2002 -5-

3) There are 4.6 million commercial buildings, 500 skyscrapers, 12,000 chemical facilities and 300 major arenas and stadiums in the United States(6). 4) There are over 50,000 bank branches across the United States(7) and over 500,000 branches around the world that need time-effective, proof of identification in opening a bank account or for transferring large sums of money. Market Advantages We have established a market presence and preferred partnering status with large integrators including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Unisys Corporation, and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) along with specialty niche providers for the United States and international border markets. Our relationship with Unisys Corporation in providing security solutions to the government of Chile significantly strengthens our visibility. Several companies, with competing identification document reading devices, have approached us for licensing opportunities. We expect to focus on the integration of our software with a variety of devices being developed for the growing commercial and governmental markets, thereby becoming the industry standard for authentication and document classification devices. Additionally, we expect to license or develop biometric and external database management capability and to offer security solutions tailored to specific markets such as transportation, banking, automated public access applications, and restricted goods purchases including chemicals and firearms. Recently, we announced a strategic alliance with Digimarc Corporation to provide solutions to state and province driver's license issuing authorities to authenticate "breeder documents" used to get new licenses. Common Customer Need We believe that we meet, in whole or in part, several common customer requirements across all of our markets, which include our ability to: (i) quickly and effectively identify and read any identification document types issued by a myriad of organizations; (ii) facilitate the correlation of biometric markers (facial, fingerprints, etc.) and other security information between the document and its presenter; (iii) assess the risk that the document presented is unaltered, contains the appropriate characteristics, and shows not to be expired; ----------------------- (6) "Protecting the American Homeland; A Preliminary Analysis" 2002 pg 47 & pg 55 (7) "Bank Geographic Structure" The Conference of State Bank Supervisors; www.pacb.org/pacb_h11.htm -6-

(iv) maintain throughput at control point; and (v) preserve and protect established personal privacy and security protocols. Our security products and services are designed to incorporate these goals into market-driven solutions. Our Platform and Management System We have developed an integrated identity document management platform that can automatically identify and validate many identity document types being presented, regardless of whether the document has been printed according to ICAO standards. Furthermore, our platform includes a proprietary document specifications library that ascertains the degree to which security features and known document characteristics are present or absent in any document being presented, whether ICAO standard or not. This capability enables a higher level of automation, with a higher degree of public access and security risk management, to a border, passenger check-in terminal, sensitive facility, or other control point. As a subset of this document management software product, we offer document authentication management for each document type supported. The software utilizes a weighted risk-scoring scheme for each security feature confirmed, or absent, based on the individual requirements of a particular access point. Once a document that is already enrolled in our data library has been recognized by our automated identity document management system, predetermined protocols are applied according to the specific requirements of the local control point. These rules and protocols drive the level of data extraction and enable further analyses including: biometrics, document security feature analysis (authentication), matching to watch lists, stolen document lists, passenger manifests, and the like. Because of its ability to recognize virtually any travel document in circulation, our automated identity document management system can be deployed immediately in public transportation or other infrastructure applications, including existing airline, travel, and facility control systems, without waiting for enrollment under new document issuance. For example, its proprietary software can be programmed to develop transportation manifests automatically, prioritize baggage handling, and integrate with security watch lists. The software can work across networks of large facilities to deliver higher levels of confidence as to the identity of those persons within the facility. Comparison with Competitive Technologies Competitive ID document automated reader technology is constrained by reading limited areas of single document types. On the other hand, because of its omni-font capability and advanced pattern matching, our i-Dentify(TM) document management system reads the entire document, enabling it to extract substantially more data from a travel document than that contained in the machine-readable portion of the document. Further, the technology can be applied to any travel document types in its library. -7-
10SB12G/A10th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
Our ability to recognize a large number of different document types is a direct result of our patent-pending technology that recognizes any document registered in its proprietary document library. By using our proprietary reader to register issued document standards, we achieve a high level of sensitivity and resolution by controlling image quality and lighting uniformity. This maximizes the amount of information being read. The resulting document library knowledge base has been built by registering both ICAO and non-ICAO documents in its knowledge base, thus ensuring a broad and high level of document classification and authentication. Also, the machine-readable portion of the document is the least secure and easiest portion for a forger to modify. Our ability to read and extract data from the secure portion of a document while matching the data to that contained in the machine-readable portion enables the processing of a significantly higher percentage of travel documents with higher levels of security and automation. The automated manner used by the system to extract data permits automation of a control point with only limited manual clerical intervention. Our high level of automation allows inspectors to be "face to face," evaluating human behavior, rather than "heads-down," interacting with a keyboard. Processing time is another significant advantage of our document management software. We use our proprietary knowledge-based software hierarchy to process only the images and information necessary to identify a particular document and complete the processing protocol. This makes the system faster and keeps lines moving. We believe our performance advantages will allow us to capture substantial market share. Marketing Strategy Target end-users of our products and services include security management firms and solution providers, corporate trustees of facility security, domestic government agencies, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Transportation Security Agency, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Customs, state departments of motor vehicles, and comparable organizations in foreign countries. Some of the end-users currently using our products and services either in production usage or pilot testing include the Chilean government, U.S. Transportation Security Agency, U.S. Department of State, Ministry of Immigration of Australia, and multiple U.S. state and Canadian provincial motor vehicle departments. There is no assurance that any of these entities will continue to be end-users or that we will secure new end-users. -8-
10SB12G/A11th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
Our marketing approach seeks to generate product "pull," through our program of accessing and influencing high-level agency and government specifiers, as described below. We distribute our products primarily through reseller and systems integrator channels that have significant leadership positions in each targeted market segment. For U.S. government applications such as borders and transportation, we intend to create market "push" through relations with large government integrators such as: Northrop-Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Unisys, CSC, SAIC, and comparable integrators located overseas. We currently have reseller agreements with, or purchase orders from, Lockheed Martin, Unisys, SAIC, Bearing Point, Digimarc and other systems integrators, however, there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain these working relationships or establish any additional relationships. "Pull" is created by regular publication and presentation of projects by our founders and product managers before domestic and international industry forums, supplemented by personal visits to government specifiers. We expect that this "Pull" combined with the marketing efforts of the leading integrators will carry our products into these government channels. End users routinely conduct pilot programs to evaluate new technologies. We have products and services currently being used in several pilot programs, including international travel applications, banking applications, and border management applications, however, there is no assurance that these pilots will progress from pilot testing into fully-deployed programs. We expect our technology will be a participant in several additional pilot programs both domestically and overseas, although there is no assurance that this will occur. Specific Products and Services We offer an integrated solution that consists of an identity document manager software platform, a proprietary document library that can be "trained" to recognize almost any document to enable operation without manual intervention, and a proprietary, full color, digital document reader. Our integrated solution offers competitive security solutions without disrupting the efficient flow of people and products. Appropriate privacy protection for all citizens is enabled as a matter of design. The i-DentifyTM Document Reader is the basis of our family of advanced ID Reader/Authenticator products. Current models have the capability of reading and authenticating passports and other travel documents regardless of which set of government standards or to which Travel Document standards they conform, as well as providing the capability of reading and authenticating driver's licenses and state-issued ID cards. The product is capable of being programmed to read and authenticate virtually any document that can be placed in a 3" x 5" viewing window. i-DentifyTM products incorporate patented and patent-pending technologies to inspect and analyze a document, enable biometrics, link the presenter to that -9-

document, and enable a search against relevant databases or "watch" lists to derive an ultimate risk assessment "score". Most often, these processes happen in a matter of seconds, in a manner that minimizes invasion of an individual's privacy. The AssureID(TM) Software and Document Library Knowledge Base is designed to be a software platform that will serve as an enterprise-wide central document authentication and analysis solution. Our ability to recognize a large number of different document types is a direct result of our patented(8) and patent-pending technology that recognizes any document registered in its proprietary document library (see Proprietary Information following). By using our proprietary reader to register issued document standards, we achieve the highest level of sensitivity and resolution by controlling image quality and lighting uniformity. This maximizes the amount of information being read. The resulting document library knowledge base has been built by registering both ICAO and non-ICAO documents in its knowledge base, thus ensuring the broadest and highest level of document classification and authentication. We currently do not support other document readers, but we may in the future modify our software to enable licensing of our software to other competitive reader manufacturers. As a subset to the overall platform, we offer rules-based document authentication management for each document type supported, along with a weighted risk-scoring scheme for each security feature confirmed or found absent based on the requirements of a particular control or access point. The i-DentifyTM Reader/Authenticator and AssureID(TM) Software and Document Library Knowledge Base platform is designed to permit easy integration into existing systems, centralized management of multiple clients, and as a secure node, to link to disparate, trust-authority databases. We offer Maintenance Services for its i-DentifyTM Readers and Subscription Services for our AssureID(TM) Software and Document Library Knowledge Base to insure end-users stay current with the latest software revisions and updates to the Library Knowledge Base of documents. While these services are optional, we believe that the majority of our customers will opt for these services, however, we cannot provide any assurances that our customers will purchase post-contract support from us. Competition Currently, the market for ID document readers is fragmented, without a dominant player. The competitive field is comprised of low profile divisions of large corporations or small companies. Both lack any real differentiating competitive advantage. We believe that our patent pending intellectual property and advanced technology platform, including its ability to read an entire ----------------- 8 The Company was issued patent #6,785,405 B2 on August 31, 2004 entitled Apparatus and Method for Document Reading and Authentication with 22 approved claims. -10-

document and process a document quickly with its omni-font capability and advanced pattern matching against any document registered in its proprietary document library knowledge base, will allow it to dominate the market, effectively creating a barrier to entry for competing solutions that can meet the demanding throughput and forensic requirements of the emerging applications; however, there is no assurance that other companies will not develop competing solutions. We believe that companies such as Canadian Bank Note (Canada), AIT Corp (Canada, now affiliated with 3M), Imaging Automation (9), Bundesdruckerei (Germany), OCE (Germany), Dynjab (Australia), Rochfort-Thompson (U.K.), Smiths Heimann Biometrics and DataStrip (U.K./U.S.) have only some of the necessary components of the technology necessary to deliver a competitive solution. These companies currently occupy an ancillary place in the overall security market. Although there is no assurance, they may, in fact, represent a strategic source of funding (revenue or equity) as they seek to enhance their product capabilities and gain access to our platform technology. The market's evolution towards a better definition of its needs and required solutions is influencing the strategic direction of several of the players. 3M acquired AIT in 2002 to access its reader technology and passport issuance position. Identix acquired Visionics, forming a half-billion dollar biometrics enterprise. Viisage acquired Imaging Automation. Companies such as Intellicheck, IDLogix and others are trying to adapt existing products originally developed for underage screening applications to the general document reader/authenticator market. Numerous biometrics companies such as Viisage, BioKey, Identix and others are looking for broader ways to deliver their limited biometrics offerings. Proprietary Information We have been granted one patent (US Patent 6,785,405 B2, "Apparatus and Method for Document Reading and Authentication" issued on August 31, 2004) and we have applied for four additional U.S. patents in the fields of document automation, security and authentication, respectively. Each of these remaining patent applications has been petitioned for accelerated review based on its application to counter-terrorism activities. There is no assurance that these remaining patent applications will ever be issued or, if issued, that our business will not be challenged by a competitor as infringing on its respective issued patent. Our intellectual property includes our web site, web site organization, our domain name, and the name, "AssureTec Systems, Inc." Effects of Existing or Probable Government Regulation Currently, we are not subject to direct federal, state or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly applicable to privacy regulation. However, as we begin to establish an installed base and our systems become more widely employed, of which there is no assurance, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may become applicable along with other laws and regulations which will be adopted with respect to ID document management. -------------- 9 In September 2004, subsequent to the original date of filing this Form 10SB, Viisage acquired Imaging Automation. -11

We are not certain how our business operations and liability may be affected by the application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, qualification to do business, and personal privacy. The vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the events of September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington, D.C. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of ID document management and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address these issues could create uncertainty in the marketplace. This uncertainty could reduce demand for our services; increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs, and/or increase service delivery costs. Sarbanes-Oxley Act The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") imposes a wide variety of new regulatory requirements on publicly held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements will affect us. For example: o Our chief executive officer and principal financial officer must now certify the accuracy of all our periodic reports that contain financial statements; o At a later date, our periodic reports must disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures; and o On and after July 30, 2002, we may not make any loan to any director or executive officer, and we may not materially modify any loans that existed prior to that date. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required us to review our current procedures and policies to determine whether they comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the new regulations promulgated thereunder. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Penny Stock If traded, our common stock would likely be a "penny stock" as defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are stocks: o with a price of less than five dollars per share; o that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; o whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system; or in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $5,000,000, if in continuous operation for less than three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years. Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to -12-
10SB12G/A15th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before making any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. You are urged to obtain and read this disclosure carefully before purchasing any of our shares. Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker/dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in these stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker/dealer to: o get information about the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment goals; o reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor can evaluate the risks of penny stock transactions; o provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker/dealer made his or her determination; and o receive a signed and dated copy of the statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment goals. Compliance with these requirements may make it harder for our stockholders to resell their shares. Reports to Security Holders We are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These reports include, among others, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB within 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of the Company's fiscal year, and an Annual Report on Form 10-KSB within 90 days after the end of the Company's fiscal year. You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at (http://www.sec.gov). Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of our Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require our Company to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders. -13-

Small Business Issuer The integrated disclosure system for small business issuers adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-30968 and effective as of August 13, 1992, substantially modified the information and financial requirements of a "Small Business Issuer," defined to be an issuer that has revenues of less than $25,000,000; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer; is not an investment company; and if a majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a small business issuer; provided, however, an entity is not a small business issuer if it has a public float (the aggregate market value of the issuer's outstanding securities held by non-affiliates) of $25,000,000 or more. We are deemed to be a "small business issuer." Cost of Environmental Compliance We do not believe that the production and use of our products represents any significant environmental impact or risk since its products are constructed of readily available commercial components. Sources and Availability of Raw Materials We currently outsource our manufacturing of hardware instrumentation to a private company, Jewell Instruments, located approximately one mile from our facilities in Manchester, New Hampshire. The Company has qualified an additional manufacturer, EPE Corporation of Manchester, New Hampshire, but is not currently using its services. Camera components, lenses and associated circuit boards are available from at least two suppliers and we believe this will result in no significant risk of supply interruption. Current principal suppliers include: Pixelink of Ottawa, Canada; Sunex Inc. of Carlsbad, CA; Optical Devices/Miyakawa Corp. of Tokyo, Japan; and Abbyy Software House of Fremont, CA. Research and Development Costs incurred prior to technological feasibility of our technology products are expensed as research and development costs. From inception to June 30, 2005 the Company and its subsidiary have incurred approximately $5.8 million in research and development costs. We have not capitalized any research and development costs to date. Employees At June 30, 2005, we employed 14 full-time employees. Risk Factors Our business is subject to many risk factors; including the following (references to "our," "we" and words of similar meaning in these Risk Factors refer to the Company and to AssureTec Systems): -14-

From our inception, we have recognized revenue of approximately $1 million and have had significant losses to date and we might not be able to achieve meaningful revenues or earnings in the future. AssureTec Systems has been operational since October of 2001 and has achieved revenues well short of those necessary to allow the Company to break even. The consolidated development stage loss from inception is in excess of $12 million. We have limited assets, working capital and negative shareholders' equity, and we might not be able to continue in operation without the infusion of additional capital. We have very limited assets; negative working capital and limited financial resources. We continue in business by raising capital from investors and soliciting advances from affiliated parties. We cannot be certain that such capital and advances will be available to the Company when we need them and under terms favorable to the Company. Our financial condition may not improve. Our independent auditors' report indicates a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern which means that an investment in our shares is extremely risky. Our auditors' report (see page F-1) indicates that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If our business fails, the value of any capitalized items would be adjusted to reflect a distressed market value. We currently have no cash reserves and rely on cash from capital raised from investors. There is no assurance these funds will continue to be available, however, we have operated in this manner since our inception. Now that we have begun to ship product, it is more likely outside investment capital can be found, but there can be no assurance that outside financing will be available to us. In any event, we cannot continue without continuing additional capital from affiliates or outside investment capital. We expect to continue to incur losses at least through fiscal year end June 2006 and we may not ever operate profitably. We have incurred losses since inception through June 30, 2005 of approximately $12 million. During that period, the Company has generated just over $1 million in revenues. We expect, but cannot be sure, that our revenues will increase during the next several fiscal years. Unless revenues in excess of $2 million annually can be generated, we will continue to run a deficit. There is no assurance that we will reach these annual revenues or can we be assured that we can operate profitably. Because we need to raise additional funds and these funds might not be available to us when we need them, we might need to change our business plan, sell or merge our business, or face bankruptcy. From its inception in October 2001 through June 30, 2005, we have raised a total of $2.9 million from unaffiliated investors. Further, as of this date, affiliates of Dr. Reeves have invested $958,000 in equity of the Company and have advanced the Company an additional $557,374. AssureTec Systems' employees have voluntarily agreed to defer $3.5 million in unpaid salaries and related compensation expenses, of which $2.2 million was converted in December 2004, into 769,000 options to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock in the Company. Without this invested capital, these advances and employee deferrals, we could not have -15-
10SB12G/A18th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
continued in business. See "Certain Relationships And Related Transactions" beginning at page 43. We will require additional capital to provide tooling for manufacturing certain hardware products and will need to spend money for travel and collateral materials in order to develop cash flow. Additional capital might not be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. In addition, our issuance of equity or equity-related securities will dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders and our issuance of debt securities could increase the risk that we may not survive. We cannot be certain that our products will continue to operate as planned. Currently we have produced approximately 265 hardware units and multiple releases of development software, which have been released to about a dozen integrators and smaller developers in the U.S. and in Europe. We have delivered 60 units of the i-DentifyTM reader authenticator to a reseller in Chile and delivered 90 units to a reseller as part of a pilot for the Transportation Security Administration, both of whom reported that both hardware and software operated as planned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have too few of our products in service to allow us to be certain that our products will operate as planned. If our products do not meet customers' needs and expectations, we will lose customers and our business could fail. Our chief executive officer, who is also our sole director (10), has majority control over our common stock and is a major creditor, which will allow him to have significant influence over our affairs. After consummation of the reverse stock split by Holdings and the Systems Exchange, R.T. Robertson Consultants, Inc. ("RTRC') and Robertson Financial Advisors, LLC, ("Advisors") each controlled by Dr. Reeves, our CEO, owns a combined 958 shares of AssureTec Holdings' Series A-1 Preferred Stock. (The "Holdings Preferred"). Each share of the Holdings Preferred, which is described in greater detail in "Description of Securities" beginning on page 45, is convertible into 322.58 shares of our common stock and, as a result, as of June 30, 2005 these two entities beneficially owned approximately 309,032 shares, or approximately 16.2% of our common stock. In addition, (i) the Holdings Preferred is entitled to vote on an "as converted" basis on all matters in which the common stock is entitled to vote, and (ii) the holders of our Preferred Stock are entitled to elect three of up to seven directors of AssureTec Holdings. RTRC is 90% owned by Dr. Reeves' wife, Dr. Reeves is Advisors' Managing Director and controlling member and, therefore, Dr. Reeves is deemed to beneficially own the shares of stock owned by RTRC and Advisors. Taking into account the shares owned by Dr. Reeves directly, along with the shares owned by RTRC and Advisors, Dr. Reeves beneficially owns 511,365 shares, or approximately 26.8% of our common stock. As a result, Dr. Reeves can exercise substantial control of the affairs of AssureTec Holdings. Dr. Reeves and his affiliates have also made advances to AssureTec Systems and, therefore, his interest as a creditor may be different from the interests of the other stockholders. For example, Dr. Reeves may desire to cause us to use our funds to repay these advances under terms that may cause us to divert funds away from operations at critical times, or that may cause us to fail. Dr. Reeves ------------------- 10 As of the date of this Amended Form 10SB, Dr. Reeves is the Company's sole director. -16-
10SB12G/A19th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 19th
could use his existing control and his position as creditor to acquire more of our shares which would give him even more control. Any such actions by Dr. Reeves would not require shareholder approval. As of June 30, 2005 the Company owed Dr. Reeves' affiliates approximately $557,374 exclusive of $126,972 in unpaid interest on advances. We might not succeed in establishing our technologies in the marketplace, which would adversely affect customer acceptance and our revenues. The market for document automation and authentication products is new since September 11, 2001. Although we believe our products and technologies will be integrated into new U.S. exit/entry border technologies and other document automation and authentication technologies in the U.S. and around the world, this is a new, untested market. We cannot offer assurances that we will have the capital and technological advantage to compete with larger and better financed companies in this developing market nor can we offer assurances that the market for automated identity document authentication will ever develop. We must enter into strategic relationships with integrators of our technology, and if we fail to develop, maintain or enhance these relationships, we might not be able to attract and retain customers, generate adequate market exposure, build our AssureTec Systems brand, or enhance our sales and marketing capabilities. We believe that our ability to attract customers, generate interest in our hardware and software products, facilitate broad market acceptance of our services and of the AssureTec Systems brand, and to enhance our sales and marketing capabilities depends on our ability to develop and maintain strategic relationships with related product integrators that can deliver product solutions to customers in diverse product areas. If we are unsuccessful in developing or maintaining these relationships, or if these relationships do not assist us in attracting or retaining customers, it will be difficult to grow our business. At the present time, we rely on these integrators to adapt our software development kit to specific applications in border control applications facilities access control systems, and public transportation solutions. The success of our business depends on selling our products and services to a large number of government and commercial integrators and we have no current relationships or arrangements with these integrators. We believe that our reliance on unaffiliated companies to integrate our products into products developed by these respective companies for specific market applications as our primary marketing strategy will enable us to develop a customer base more quickly and cost effectively than the employment of traditional marketing methods involving sizable development, a sales staff, and advertising to sell products directly to end users. There can be no assurance that this belief or strategy is correct. As a new company with new technology applications, we lack historic recognition in the market. Our success depends, in large part, on attracting a large number of application integrators that advertise in the traditional media and that have existing end user relationships and product support. Our success is also dependent, in large part, upon ensuring that these customers remain loyal long-term customers to the integrators, resulting in a continuing flow of our product into theirs. Furthermore, we may be required to -17-
10SB12G/A20th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 20th
incur higher and more sustained advertising and promotional expenditures than we currently anticipate in order to create direct market demand for our products. As a result, we might not be able to achieve or sustain profitability. Competition from traditional providers of border passport readers could result in price reductions and decreased demand for our automated document authenticator technology that could cause our business to fail. The market for document readers is competitive. Although we believe our shorter processing speed and ability to read and automatically authenticate identification documents will provide additional value to our potential target market, traditional and established document reader companies may lower their prices to compete with us. Competition is expected to intensify in the future, which also could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders and reduced gross margins. We currently compete with, or may in the future compete with, a variety of companies located in the United States, Canada and Europe that provide a part of what our products provide. Many of these companies are established and have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. Additionally, many of these organizations have proven operating histories, which we lack. Although we expect to compete on the basis of the quality and uniqueness of our product and services and, to a lesser extent, on the basis of price, this strategy may not be successful. We might not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights due to our lack of funds and if we failed to protect our rights, we could lose market recognition, which would reduce our sales. Our intellectual property includes one patent and four patent applications covering the process of identifying documents and validating the existence or absence of securities features to determine a document's validity. Any encroachment upon our proprietary information, the unauthorized use of our trademark, the use of a similar name by a competing company, or a lawsuit initiated against us for our infringement upon another company's proprietary information or improper use of existing trademarks could affect our ability to create brand name recognition, cause customer confusion, and/or have a detrimental effect on our business. Litigation or proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the European Patent Office might be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and domain name, and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any litigation or adverse proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could seriously harm our business and operating results. If and when we develop markets in Europe and Asia and other places internationally, the laws of many countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as the laws of the United States. It is possible that third parties might claim infringement by us with respect to past, current or future technologies, although we do not expect any such claims. We expect that participants in our markets will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of services and competitors in our industry segment grows. Any claim, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, and could cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing agreements might not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. -18-

Our systems and operations, and those of our customers, are vulnerable to natural disasters and other unexpected problems, which could reduce customer satisfaction and reduce our sales. Substantially all of our computer and hardware and our systems infrastructure are housed at our facility in Manchester, New Hampshire. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure and similar events. In addition, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions that could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of data or the inability to sell and support our network of software products and customer support. Currently, we do not have fully redundant systems or a formal disaster recovery plan and do not carry business interruption insurance to compensate for losses that could occur. Our customers also face these risks. We depend on the efficient operation of Internet connections from customers to our systems. These connections, in turn, depend on the efficient operation of web browsers, Internet service providers and Internet backbone service providers, all of which have had periodic operational problems or outages. Any system delays or failure or loss of data, whatever the cause, could reduce customer satisfaction with our applications and services together with the number of visits to our website and also could harm our sales of ID document services and data base libraries. A significant barrier to online communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks, and our failure to prevent security breaches could harm our business. The service providers rely on encryption and authentication technology to effect secure transmission of confidential information. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, or other developments might result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by the service providers to protect customer data. Any compromise of their security could harm our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or to litigation and possible liability and, therefore, result in harm to our business. In addition, a person who is able to circumvent security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. To date, we have had no security breaches. The loss of the services of key employees could have a negative impact on our business or cause it to fail. At June 30, 2005, the Company had 14 employees, several of whom have not been paid their full compensation for many months. Any one or all employees could decide to leave us before we can assure the employees' long-term services, which may not happen. If we lose the services of these key employees who have spent many months developing our products and technology, our business could be harmed seriously. In addition, we may not be able to attract new, skilled employees. If the market for automated document authentication fails to gain widespread acceptance, our business could fail. The market for ID document authentication is in its infancy. If this market does not gain widespread acceptance, our business could fail. Our success will depend on our ability to engage both end users and product integrators, who have established existing customer bases in our targeted markets of borders, travel and transportation and facilities access control. In addition, a large proportion of our early customers might begin using our products because they are new and different rather than because they believe our products represent the best long-term solution. These early customers may use our products only once or twice and then return to more traditional solutions. -19-

We may not be able to respond to rapid technological changes to serve our customers and meet their expectations and we may lose customers as a result. As the document authentication and automation industry evolves, we will need to license leading technologies useful in our business, enhance our existing services, develop new services and technology that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective customers, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. We might not be able to successfully implement new technologies, proprietary technology and transaction-processing systems to customer requirements or emerging industry standards. If we are unable to do so, it could adversely impact our ability to build the AssureTec Systems brand and to attract and retain customers. ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Amendment 1 to Form 10-SB. This Amendment 1 to Form 10-SB, including the following discussion, contains trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements in this Amendment 1 to Report on Form 10-SB that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements as a result of factors set forth elsewhere in this Amendment 1 to Form 10-SB, including under "Risk Factors." Overview We develop integrated identity document management applications for use in government and commercial security applications. Our proprietary document management platform automatically reads, records and authenticates identification documents, such as passports, visas or driver's licenses, through our proprietary database software thereby reducing the risk of human error in detecting falsified or tampered forms of identification. We are considered to be a development stage enterprise, as we have not generated significant revenues since our inception. We are subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies in an early stage of development. Principal among these risks are dependencies on key individuals, competition from other substitute products and larger companies, the successful development and marketing of our products and the need to obtain adequate financing necessary to fund our future operations. -20-

Our historical results of operations have been prepared using the historical accounting records of AssureTec Holdings and our wholly owned subsidiary AssureTec Systems. Although our ownership of AssureTec Systems was less than 50% prior to March 31, 2004 (the date of the Systems Exchange) we consolidated the results of these two entities because the two companies shared common management and control. The operations of AssureTec Holdings are limited and consist primarily of certain management costs, such as compensation and third party management and accounting services. Historical references to our operations primarily consist of those transactions executed by AssureTec Systems in the development of our integrated identity document management applications. Our historical results of operations and financial condition do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors' report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 indicates that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Plan of Operation Since our inception on October 2, 2001, our operations have been primarily funded through: (i) cash payments made on our behalf by RTRC and Advisors, corporations owned and controlled by our chief executive officer and his family, (ii) the voluntary deferral of employee salaries and wages and consultant fees and (iii) the raising of $2,878,000 from unaffiliated investors as of June 30, 2005. Currently, without further salary deferrals and stock for services, our cash expenses, on an annualized basis, are expected to run at an annual level of $2.5 million. We believe that we will require at least approximately $3,000,000 to fund our operating plan through fiscal year 2006. We currently have limited cash and working capital. Our plan of operations is highly dependent on our ability to raise significant additional capital. Without this capital, it is unlikely we will be able to execute our operating plan or continue as a going concern. We intend to attempt to raise this capital from individual investors and other private equity sources, and we also may seek funding from industrial partners. At the present time, we have no commitments from any sources. We intend to use the proceeds of any financing transactions primarily to market our existing technology products and enhance our sales and marketing capabilities. We believe our success, if any, in these endeavors will be highly determinative of our ability to become profitable. As part of our strategy, we will continue to attempt to attract and develop strategic partnerships with related security product integrators. In September 2003, we initiated the sale -21-
10SB12G/A24th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 24th
of our technology products through a strategic partner to the government of Chile. In late 2004 and early 2005 we delivered units to our reseller in the U.S. who won the pilot for the Transportation Worker Identity Credential program. We recently announced a development relationship with Digimarc Corporation for applications related to the recently passed federal "Real ID Act" which requires the states to issue more secure drivers' licenses. We believe that strategic partnerships like these will allow us to better distribute our technology in the United States and worldwide. On September 1, 2005, we initiated a private placement to accredited investors of debentures with warrants to purchase common stock. These debentures have a six month term and bear interest at 12% annually and are to be repaid at the rate of one dollar of debenture for each two dollars raised in a subsequent offering. For each $3.00 of debentures purchased, Holdings issued one warrant to purchase one share of Holdings common stock at $6.00 per share for a period of one year from the date of investment or upon an initial public offering by Holdings, whichever occurs earlier. This private offering raised gross proceeds of $1.125 million and net proceeds of approximately $1.035 million and in October 2005, the Company issued warrants to acquire 375,667 shares of Common Stock. On September 15, 2005, we commenced a private offering to accredited investors of up to 1,250,000 shares of Holdings common stock. Pursuant to this private offering, the Company is offering units for gross proceeds of $12.00 per unit. Each unit is comprised of two shares of common stock at $6.00 per share with one warrant to acquire one share of common stock at $6.00 per share, for each two shares of common stock purchased. The warrants issued in this offering are exercisable for a period of one year from the date of investment or upon an initial public offering by Holdings, whichever occurs earlier. As of October 31, 2005, a total of 333,333 shares have been sold, and 166,667 warrants have been granted, pursuant to this offering raising gross proceeds of $2.0 million, of which $1.125 million was applied to retire the September 1, 2005 debentures. We will use the balance of new proceeds from these offerings, if any, after retiring the debenture, primarily to strengthen our sales and marketing efforts and to better position us for another private placement or a public offering. We believe that this additional outside financing will be available to us; however, there can be no assurance that we will obtain this additional financing in an amount sufficient to meet our future needs. We plan to continue our development and enhancement of our technology products during the next twelve months. If we are successful in obtaining additional financing, we will need to hire additional employees, primarily in the areas of marketing, sales, finance, administration, engineering and quality assurance. This will require us to purchase additional computer equipment; however, any such purchases are not expected to be significant. -22

Critical Accounting Policies Our accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The following describes the application of accounting principles that have significant impact on our consolidated financial statements: Going Concern Assumption - The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If the consolidated financial statements were prepared on liquidation basis, the carrying value of our assets and liabilities would be adjusted to net realizable amounts. In addition, the classification of the assets and liabilities would be adjusted to reflect the liquidation basis of accounting. Deferred Compensation - Our employees and management have been voluntarily deferring a portion of their earned compensation since our inception. At December 2004 the employees converted $2.2 Million of their deferred compensation owed as of June 30, 2004 into stock options to acquire common stock of the Company. This $2.2 million of deferred compensation was converted into approximately 769,000 fully vested options exercisable at a price of $0.50 for a period of 7 years. We have expensed these obligations and the corresponding employment taxes associated with these deferred wages and salaries. Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer (which constitutes delivery), provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. To the extent that one or more of these conditions are not met, which has occurred in the past, revenue is deferred until such time as all four criteria are met. Revenue from sales to integrators, value-added resellers and distributors is recognized on a "sell-through" basis, that is, when these parties report to us that resale of the product to the ultimate end customer has occurred. In general, we require an upfront deposit for significant customer purchases. If we receive a payment from a customer prior to meeting all of the revenue recognition criteria, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue. Our current arrangements with third party integrators, value-added resellers and distributors do not provide for any rights of return, price-protection or other contingencies. Our general credit terms require complete payment within 30 days of shipment. We record a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product sales in the same period as the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on known and estimated factors. To date, we have not established vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value for our software, products and services. For sales where maintenance is the only undelivered element, we recognize the total sale ratably over the term of the embedded maintenance period. We believe that we will -23-
10SB12G/A26th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 26th
establish VSOE of fair value for maintenance; however, the exact timing is uncertain. Once VSOE of fair value for maintenance and other services is established, we will utilize the residual method of accounting as permitted by Statement of Position 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, `Software Revenue Recognition,' With Respect to Certain Transactions," and defer the VSOE of maintenance and recognize the residual amount of the total sale as software and product revenue in the period in which the arrangement exists, the software and products are delivered and the fee is collectible. Maintenance revenue will then be recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Deferred Income Taxes -We account for income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Because we project future operating losses in the near term, we have provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets created by these losses. Stock-based Compensation - As part of our compensation programs offered to our employees, we grant stock options. We grant stock options to employees based on their fair value at the grant date. As allowed under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," we have adopted the disclosure-only requirements of these accounting standards. Accordingly, we do not recognize stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted to employees at their fair value. We record stock-based compensation when we issue common stock in lieu of cash compensation for services rendered to us or if we issue options to purchase common stock to non-employees. Stock-based compensation is recorded based on the fair value of the services received. See Notes 2 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements for the impact on earnings had we fully adopted SFAS 123 and 148. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements - With the exception of our facility lease, we do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or other relationships with unconsolidated entities known as "special purpose entities." Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $7,500 and $0, respectively. The revenues of $7,500 in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 resulted from the sale and shipment of hardware and software to a potential distributor. We had no sales in 2002. Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $4,300 and $0, respectively. This cost represented the cost of the hardware we shipped in connection with our net sales and related third-party software. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased $155,813, or approximately 66%, to $392,198 from $236,385 in the comparable period in 2002. This increase was due primarily to -24-
10SB12G/A27th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 27th
increased spending in the areas of selling expenses and sales consultants as we began marketing and selling our products in fiscal 2004. The increase was also attributable to an increase in personnel in selling, general and administrative capacities. Engineering, research and development expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 increased $146,866 or approximately 97% to $297,657 from $150,791 in the comparable period in 2002. The increase of engineering, research and development expense consisted primarily of additional staffing salaries and related personnel costs. Interest expense increased $26,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to the accrual of interest on related party obligations due to RTRC, and interest on deferred employee compensation. Imputed interest rates vary from 3% to 5%. For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 net loss was $735,555, or $4.20 per share (basic and diluted), and $409,676, or $2.34 per share (basic and diluted), respectively. The increase in net loss of $325,879 was primarily attributed to increased staffing and related costs associated with the increase of personnel during the Company's development stage. Years Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 In 2003, we recorded $9,747 in the initial sale of our technology products to two unrelated parties. Cost of revenues of $6,557 was recorded in connection with the company's initial sales and represented the cost of the hardware, software and other related costs. We had no sales in 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages of executive management, finance, marketing, sales and administrative personnel, office and occupancy costs, legal, accounting and other professional services. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 182% or $692,647 in 2003 to $1,072,384 from $379,737 in 2002. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel costs and associated overhead as additional employees and consultants were hired to expand our operations. In addition, the results of 2002 only include nine months of operations since we were formed on October 2, 2001. Engineering, research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages of engineers, quality control technicians and external development consultants. Engineering, research and development expenses increased approximately 285%, or $1,066,342, in 2003 to $1,440,027 from $373,685 in 2002. The majority of our operations and costs have been incurred in the development of our technology products. The increase in engineering and research and development expenses was attributable to the necessary costs of developing -25-
10SB12G/A28th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
our integrated identity document management applications. In addition, the results of 2002 only include nine months of operations as we were not formed until October 2, 2001. We record stock-based compensation when we issue common stock or options to purchase common stock to non-employees or in lieu of cash compensation for services rendered. In 2002, the Company's subsidiary, AssureTec Systems, issued 215,638 shares of its common stock to unrelated third parties in lieu of cash compensation. We recorded $123,744 in connection with the issuance of these shares of common stock based on the fair value of the services we received. In March 2004, the shares of the subsidiary's stock were exchanged for shares of the Company. In 2002, the Company's subsidiary, AssureTec Systems issued options to purchase 100,000 (6,452 post split) shares of its common stock to a non-employee at $0.001 per share. We recorded $1,279 in stock-based compensation relating to this grant. The fair value of the stock options awarded to non-employees was calculated using the Black-Scholes method. Subsequently the options to purchase shares of the subsidiary were exchanged for options to purchase shares of the Company. Interest expense represents imputed interest applied to deferred compensation, advances from RTRC as well as interest recorded based on stated interest rates on notes payable by the Company to an individual stockholder. Imputed interest rates vary from 3% to 5%. Interest expense increased to $63,903 in 2003 from $12,131 in 2002. For the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 net loss was $2,681,600, or $15.30 per share (basic and diluted), and $848,900, or $4.84 per share (basic and diluted), respectively. The increase in net loss of $1,832,700 was primarily attributed to increased staffing and related costs associated with the increase of personnel during the Company's development stage. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources We were formed in October 2001 and since our formation through June 30, 2005, have raised $3.8 million through financing activities, including $958,000 from parties affiliated with our CEO, Dr. Reeves. In addition to these funds, we have relied on our employees' deferment of $2.1 million in compensation and $557,374 in advances by a related party as of June 2005. Additionally, at December 31 2004 the employees converted $2.2 million of deferred compensation into options to purchase 769,000 shares of common stock in the Company. At June 30, 2005, compensation in the aggregate of $1.3 million had been formally deferred by the employees until the Company's Board of Directors deems cash is sufficient from operating cash flow to make payments on these deferred amounts. At June 30, 2005, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $3.9 million. Our continuation as a going concern will require that we raise significant additional capital and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. We believe that we will continue to be successful in obtaining additional financing, from which the proceeds will be primarily used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, research and -26-
10SB12G/A29th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
development and other strategic investments. However, no assurances can be provided that we will obtain additional financing sufficient to meet our future needs on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. We have not yet developed revenues sufficient to bring us to a positive cash flow position and our auditors have stated in their audit report that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital, and to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately attain profitability. As of October 31, 2005, we had sufficient cash, in our estimation, to sustain operations for a period of six months. In addition, we are currently in the process of discussing with a partner in Japan the possibility of its investing an additional $2 million in Holdings. If we are able to close this subscription and receive this $2 million, we believe the $2 million, plus the cash currently on hand, would allow us to operate for a period in excess of one year without significant revenues. With the exception of our facility lease, which has been personally guaranteed by our chief executive officer, we have no material off-balance sheet commitments. Our facility lease runs through June 30, 2007 and requires minimum annual payments of approximately $48,000 though its expiration. ITEM 3 DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Neither AssureTec Holdings nor its Subsidiaries presently own any real property. In June 2002, AssureTec Systems entered into a three-year lease of the building where both AssureTec Holdings and AssureTec Systems are located, at 200 Perimeter Road, Manchester, NH 03103. The current lease calls for monthly payments of $4,041. One of Dr. Reeves' family-controlled entities has guaranteed the lease. This lease was extended for an additional three-year term in June 2004. These facilities occupy approximately 5,600 square feet and are located adjacent to the runway of the Manchester Airport. The space that AssureTec Holdings and AssureTec Systems currently occupy is expected to be adequate to meet immediate needs, but additional facilities may be required if AssureTec Systems begins to expand and hire additional personnel, of which there is no assurance. AssureTec Holdings owns personal property (equipment), comprising primarily of furniture, computer and office equipment. ITEM 4 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT For each director and officer of AssureTec Holdings, Inc. and AssureTec Systems, Inc., and for each person known by AssureTec Holdings to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the voting securities of AssureTec Holdings as of June 2005, the table below lists the beneficial ownership of AssureTec Holdings' common stock (i) after completion of the Holdings Spin-Off, and (ii) after completion of both the Holdings Spin-Off and the Systems Exchange and (iii) taking into effect the 1-for-31 reverse stock split. AssureTec Holdings was a wholly owned subsidiary of Element 21 and no other person or entity owned any shares of AssureTec Holdings prior to the Holdings Spin-Off. -27-

ITEM 7 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS This section describes the transactions we have engaged in with our current and past directors and current and past officers and persons known by us to be the beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock during the past two fiscal years, other than the transactions described above in "Employment Agreements and Deferred Compensation Agreements" and in "DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS", and in "RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES." Dr. Reeves, our President and a Director, and Kevin T. McGuire, our Treasurer and Secretary, have been officers, directors or investors in various companies that at one point in time have been related to AssureTec Holdings, including Element 21 Golf Company. Dr. Reeves and Mr. McGuire resigned their positions as officers of Element 21 on October 4, 2002 which was the date of the acquisition of Element 21. Prior to the Systems Exchange, AssureTec Holdings had 183,026 post split shares of common stock outstanding.

Dr. Reeves currently serves as President and director of AssureTec Holdings. Dr. Reeves also serves as Chairman and CEO of Systems and as of June 30, 2005 -42-
10SB12G/A45th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 45th
beneficially owns approximately 26.8% of AssureTec Holdings common stock and common stock equivalents. As described above in "Executive Compensation," Dr. Reeves currently receives a salary of $180,000 pursuant to his Employment Agreement with Systems, which salary is being deferred. In April 2004, Holdings commenced a private offering of its Series A-2 Preferred Stock, pursuant to which it issued 25.2 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock to officers of the Company and of its subsidiary for gross proceeds of $67,800 in cash and in satisfaction of a total of $184,200 of debt. The Series A-2 Preferred shares were later cancelled, upon approval of the Series A-2 holders, and exchanged for a total of 252 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. A large percentage of the Company's obligations have been paid to date on its behalf by RT Robertson Consultants, Inc. and Robertson Financial Advisors, LLC, companies owned and controlled by Dr. Reeves and his family. The Company believes that the interest rate applied to the RTRC and Advisors obligation is on terms as favorable as those it could obtain from independent sources. In November 2002, a mutual agreement between Dr. Reeves and AssureTec Systems was created whereby, at the close of each quarter, any advances from Dr. Reeves made to AssureTec Systems from inception became convertible into Preferred Stock of AssureTec Systems. At the written request of AssureTec Systems, it could "Put" the cumulative balance to Dr. Reeves forcing conversion of all balances at a price of $3.10 per share (post split) in the alternative, Dr. Reeves could "Call" shares using the advances at his option at a price of $3.88 (post split) per share until cancelled in writing subject to a 30 day advance notice in writing. This mutual option was terminated on November 28, 2003. Effective December 31, 2003, a portion of the money owed by Systems to RTRC and Advisors was converted into 462 shares of Holdings Series A-1 Preferred Stock at the ratio of 1 share for each $1,000 of debt outstanding. (See discussion of Holdings Preferred under "Description of Securities" below). This debt was converted into shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at the same purchase price as was previously offered to outside investors for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Holdings Preferred has preferential rights, including the right to vote on an "as converted" basis on all matters on which the common stock is entitled to vote and the right to appoint three directors of AssureTec Holdings. The Holdings Preferred also has conversion rights. As of June 30, 2005, and after the conversion of $958,160 into 958 shares of Holdings Preferred, AssureTec Systems owed approximately $557,374 to RTRC and Advisors, entities owned by Dr. Reeves and his family. Dr. Reeves functions as President of AssureTec Holdings and Chief Executive Officer of AssureTec Systems, and performs the duties and services normally associated with these titles in accordance with the terms of this agreement. After the consummation of the Holdings Spin-Off, Element 21 will own no AssureTec Holdings stock and Dr. Reeves will own 10.6% of Holdings while RTRC and Advisors will own 16.2% of Holdings' outstanding shares of common stock and common stock equivalents. All holders of shares and options issued or exchanged in connection with the Element 21 Acquisition waived any rights with respect to the Holdings Spin-Off. -43-
10SB12G/A46th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 46th
RTRC and Advisors has provided advances to approximately 20 employees of Systems, none of whom are officers or directors of the Company, in the form of non-recourse loans between these entities and the individual employees, respectively. Repayment of these advances by the individual employees is contingent upon the payment of deferred compensation by the Company to the individual employees. As of October 31, 2005 there is approximately $37,000 of unsettled advances to employees outstanding. AssureTec Systems entered into a three-year lease of the building where both AssureTec Holdings and AssureTec Systems are located. The lease calls for monthly payments of $4,041 through June 2007. Both Dr. Reeves and RTRC have guaranteed the lease and no consideration was received by either party in exchange for the guarantee. The lease was extended for a period of three years. ITEM 8 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AssureTec Holdings, Inc. AssureTec Holding's authorized capital stock consists of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and five million (5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock at a par value of $0.001 per share. Effective June 30, 2005 there were 659,493 shares of common stock outstanding, options to acquire up to 1,902,522 shares of common stock outstanding, and 3,871 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding. The following discussion of the capital stock and options of AssureTec Holdings is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of AssureTec Holdings' Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. Common Stock ------------ All shares of common stock have equal voting rights and, when validly issued and outstanding, are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be voted upon by stockholders. The shares of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights and may be issued only as fully paid and nonassessable shares. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not permitted, which means that the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock represented at any meeting at which a quorum is present will be able to elect the entire Board, if they so choose. In the event of liquidation of AssureTec Holdings, each stockholder is entitled to receive a proportionate share of AssureTec Holding's assets available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of liabilities and after distribution in full of preferential amounts, if any. All shares of AssureTec Holdings common stock issued and outstanding are fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of the common stock are entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock, as may be declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefore. -44-
10SB12G/A47th Page of 117TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 47th
Preferred Shares ---------------- Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, as may be determined by the Board. The Board shall establish the voting powers, preferences and the relative rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions. AssureTec Holdings has designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Holdings Preferred shares are entitled to voting rights on an "as-converted" basis. The holders of Holdings Preferred are entitled to dividends at the rate of 5% of the Holdings Preferred price per share ($1,000, as adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or reorganization). The Holdings Preferred shares have a liquidation preference over all other junior shares of capital stock, including the common stock. Any transaction or series of transactions which results in a change in control is deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of Holdings Preferred approve the transaction. Each share of Holdings Preferred is convertible, any time at the option of the holder, into 322.58 shares of AssureTec Holdings common stock at a price per share of $3.10, which may be paid for with cash or conversion into common stock. Each share of Holdings Preferred shall be automatically converted into shares of common stock upon the closing of a public offering of common stock. Stockholders of the Holdings Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when declared on the common stock, on an as-converted basis. The holders of the Holdings Preferred have, so long as 20% of the shares initially issued as Holdings Preferred are outstanding, the right to elect three of the seven directors of AssureTec Holdings. The shareholders of the Holdings Preferred, voting on an "as converted to common stock" basis, and the holders of common stock will vote together as one class on all matters to be voted upon by the holders of common stock, including the election of the other four directors, two of whom will be independent directors, and one of whom will be the Chief Executive Officer. Options ------- Over time, Element 21 has issued options to various individuals pursuant to a directors' plan and to consultants and employees in exchange for services rendered, which options totaled 51,200 at June 30, 2005 (the "Element 21 Options"). Each holder of an Element 21 Option, upon the exercise of his or her Element 21 Options, will receive two shares of AssureTec Holdings common stock in addition to one share of Element 21 common stock.

AssureTec Holdings' Certificate of Incorporation, as amended by the Holdings Preferred designations, could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of AssureTec Holdings. Pursuant to the Holdings Preferred designations, any transaction or series of related transactions that results in a Change of Control (as defined below) will be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of AssureTec Holdings, giving rise to liquidation rights (each share of Holdings Preferred is entitled to the applicable Holdings Preferred initial price per share plus all unpaid and accrued dividends), unless the holders of at least 75% of the then outstanding shares of Holdings Preferred, voting together as a single class (on an -45-

as-converted basis), elect to waive this provision. For this purpose, the term "Change in Control" means any merger, consolidation, or reorganization of AssureTec Holdings, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or the effectuation of any transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of AssureTec Holdings is disposed of, excluding any capital raising transaction approved in advance by a majority of the outstanding Holdings Preferred (voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis). In any of such events, if the consideration received by AssureTec Holdings is other than cash, the value of the Preferred Stock will be deemed its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of AssureTec Holdings. At least ten days prior to the closing of any transaction that would constitute a Change of Control (without giving effect to the paragraph above), AssureTec Holdings shall provide written notice to each holder of Holdings Preferred of its reasonable estimate of the amount that the holder of Holdings Preferred would be entitled to receive upon the completion of such Change of Control and the amount that such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive if all outstanding Holdings Preferred were converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control. Any securities shall be valued as follows: (1) If traded on a securities exchange or through the NASDAQ National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the thirty-day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; (2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty-day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and (3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of AssureTec Systems and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of then outstanding shares of System Preferred. In the event of a merger or consolidation of AssureTec Holdings with or into another corporation or entity or a sale by AssureTec Holdings of all or substantially all of its assets, and in the case of successive such mergers, consolidations or sales (except for any such transactions as are treated as a liquidation), thereafter the shares of Holdings Preferred then outstanding shall be convertible into the number and kind of securities of the acquiring or surviving corporation (or such other entity whose securities are delivered in exchange for the Common Stock of AssureTec Holdings) to which the holders of the Holdings Preferred would have been entitled if such holders had converted their Holdings Preferred into Common Stock or the common stock of any successor to AssureTec Holdings upon the consummation of such sale, merger or consolidation; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Holdings Preferred, to the end that the provisions set forth in the Holdings Preferred designations (including provisions with -46-

respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Prices) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of Holdings Preferred. PART II ITEM 1 MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS There is no trading market for AssureTec Holdings common stock at present and there has been no trading market to date. Management has not undertaken any discussions, preliminary or otherwise, with any prospective market maker concerning the participation of such market maker in the after-market for AssureTec Holdings securities. There is no assurance that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue. As of June 30, 2005, 3,303 shares were subject to issuance upon the exercise of Element 21 Options. Currently 35 stockholders hold AssureTec Holdings common stock. After the Holdings Spin-Off, there will be approximately 3,600 stockholders of AssureTec Holdings common stock. AssureTec Holdings has not paid any dividends to date, and has no plans to do so in the immediate future. Upon completion of the Holdings Spin-Off, the Company will act as its own transfer agent and registrar for AssureTec Holdings. Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans In December 2004, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan') authorizing the issuance of up to 1,500,000 options from currently authorized but un-issued shares of common stock for services to the Company and Systems. Non-qualified stock options may be granted by an Option Committee designated by the Board of Directors to employees and consultants for their services to the Company and Systems. At June 30, 2005, 769,000 options have been granted in lieu of $2.2 million of deferred compensation. At June 30, 2005, the total number of options issued under this option plan is 1.3 million at an exercise price of $.50 per share, deemed by the Option Committee to be the fair market price of the common stock after reflecting both the senior liquidation preference of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as well as the then uncertain financial condition of the Company. -47-

ITEM 4 RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES AssureTec Holdings ------------------ On March 31, 2004, Holdings acquired all outstanding common stock of Systems by issuing to each holder of the common stock of Systems two shares of Holdings common stock in exchange for one share of Systems common stock (the "Systems Exchange"). Holders of 7,358,115 shares of Systems common stock and options to purchase 6,945,966 shares of Systems common stock exchanged these securities and their associated rights for 474,717 shares of Holdings common stock and options to purchase 448,127 shares of Holdings common stock. As a result of this transaction, as of March 31, 2004, Systems became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. Also as part of the Systems Exchange, Holdings issued one share of Holdings Preferred Stock in exchange for each outstanding share of Preferred Stock of Systems (a total of 601 shares). Immediately after the Systems Exchange, Holdings effected a 1-for-31 reverse split of Holdings common stock and of securities convertible into Holdings common stock. On March 31, 2004, 601 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of Systems were exchanged for a like number of shares of Holdings Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Each share is convertible into 322.58 shares of common stock. The holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available, therefor, at the rate of 5% of the applicable "Series A-1 Price", adjusted to reflect any stock-split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reorganization occurring after the original issue date. In April 2004, Holdings commenced a private offering of its Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant to which it issued 25.2 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock to officers of the Company and of its subsidiary for gross proceeds of $67,800 in cash and in satisfaction of a total of $184,200 of debt. The Series A-2 Preferred shares were later cancelled, upon approval of the Series A-2 holders, and exchanged for a total of 252 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. In July 2004, the Company granted employee stock options to purchase 6,400 shares of common stock for services provided. The stock options are exercisable at $3.20 per share. The Company did not recognize additional stock based compensation since there was no intrinsic value from the granting of the options. On August 13, 2004 the Company offered, in an Amended Private Placement Offering, the sale of up to 1,250 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, to Accredited Investors Only, at a price of $1,000 per share (10 share minimum). In case of over-subscription, the Company may accept up to an additional 500 shares. The Related Party was issued 300 shares in settlement of $300,000 owed by the Company to the Related Party under terms identical to those of the Private Placement Offering. On February 21, 2005, the Company amended the Private Placement Offering from 1,250 shares to 2,500 shares of the Company's -49-

ITEM 5 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AssureTec Holdings' Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent of Delaware law. Specifically, it provides that no director shall be liable to the corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except with respect to (1) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) liability under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the issuing company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, AssureTec Holdings has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable. -55-

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and Board of Directors AssureTec Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AssureTec Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary (a Development Stage Enterprise) (the "Company") as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from October 2, 2001 (date of inception) to June 30, 2003. 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of AssureTec Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from October 2, 2001 (date of inception) to June 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has had recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency as of June 30, 2003. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning those matters also are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Marcum & Kliegman LLP January 14, 2005, except for Note 11 as to which the date is October 31, 2005 F-1

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of Business and Operations The Company AssureTec Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary (a development stage enterprise) (the "Company") develops integrated identity document management applications for use in government and commercial security applications. The Company's proprietary document management platform automatically reads, records and authenticates identification documents, such as passports, visas or driver's licenses, through its proprietary database software, thereby reducing the risk of human error in detecting falsified or tampered forms of identification. The Company has not generated significant revenues from products that have been developed to date; accordingly, the Company is considered a development stage enterprise as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Companies." The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies in an early stage of development. Principal among these risks are dependencies on key individuals, competition from other substitute products and larger companies, the successful development and marketing of its products and the need to obtain adequate financing necessary to fund future operations. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced accumulated losses of approximately $3.5 million since inception. As of June 30, 2003, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $3.4 million. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing, and the acceptability of its integrated identity document management applications for use in government and commercial security applications to create sales that will help the Company achieve a profitable level of operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of the liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of Business and Operations (continued) Going Concern (continued) Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing, from which the proceeds will be primarily used to execute its operating plan. However, no assurances can be provided that the Company will obtain additional financing or achieve a profitable level of operations. Business Development On June 12, 2002, AssureTec Holdings, Inc ("ATH") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. The sole stockholder of ATH was Element 21 Golf Company ("Element 21"). Upon incorporation, Element 21 transferred certain assets and liabilities into ATH, including cash, accounts receivable and payable and all of Element 21's ownership of AssureTec Systems, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) ("ATS"). At the time of transfer, Element 21 owned approximately 34.2% of the issued and outstanding common stock of ATS. In addition, all of Element 21's ownership in three non-operating entities was transferred into ATH. The three non-operating entities were (i) Biorelease Technologies, Inc., (ii) I-Jam Entertainment, Inc. and (iii) Advanced Conductor Technologies, Inc. The ownership of these three non-operating entities was transferred to two stockholders of ATH, one of whom is the Company's chief executive officer, effective April 21, 2003 in consideration for the complete indemnification of ATH by the two stockholders of all current and future liabilities associated with these entities. Several individuals incorporated AssureTec Systems, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) ["ATS"] under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 2, 2001. ATS was formed to develop integrated identity document management applications for use in government and commercial security applications. Effective November 9, 2001, Element 21 acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ATS common stock in exchange for shares of Element 21 common stock. Element 21 is a Delaware corporation that, until October 2003, was doing business under the name BRL Holdings, Inc. ("BRL"). Element 21 was controlled by the same individuals who incorporated ATS. This transaction was executed between Element 21 and the individual owners of ATS to provide a better means of raising capital financing to further the commercialization of both ATS and Element 21 technologies. ATS operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Element 21 until April 1, 2002. On April 1, 2002, Element 21 transferred approximately 65.8% of its ownership of ATS to the original individual owners of ATS in exchange for shares of Element 21 common stock held by these individuals. This transaction was executed as Element 21 was unsuccessful in obtaining significant capital financing for both its and ATS' technologies and Element 21 was unable to support ATS' operations as a wholly owned subsidiary.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of Business and Operations (continued) Basis of Presentation On March 10, 2004, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 1-for-31 reverse stock split of its common stock and common stock equivalents. This reverse stock split was effective on March 10, 2004. All historical references to shares of common stock and price per share have been restated to reflect the 1-for-31 reverse stock split. On March 31, 2004, the Company completed its common stock and common stock equivalent share exchange with the individual stockholders of ATS (the "Share Exchange"). Holders of 7,358,115 shares of ATS common stock and options to purchase 6,945,966 shares of ATS common stock exchanged these securities and their associated rights for 474,717 shares of the Company's common stock and options to purchase 448,127 shares of the Company's common stock. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a common control merger. Effective as of March 31, 2004, there were no minority interests in ATS. The Company has complete ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of ATS common stock and common stock equivalents. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical accounting records of both ATH and ATS as the same management controlled both entities prior to the Share Exchange. The operations of ATH are limited and consist primarily of certain management costs, such as compensation and third party management and accounting services. Historical references to the Company's operations primarily consist of those transactions executed by ATS in the development of its integrated identity document management applications. See Notes 8 and 11. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation - As described in Note 1, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATH and ATS as the same management controls each development stage enterprise. For all periods presented, losses attributable to minority interest were in excess of any investment in ATS by such minority interest investors. In addition, individual entities comprising minority interest did not have any commitment to fund any losses of ATS; accordingly no minority interest is presented in the accompanying financial statements. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Issuance of Stock by Subsidiary - The Company's subsidiary, ATS, has issued stock to related and unrelated parties during the normal course of its business (see Note 8). As a result of these stock issuances, the Company's net investment decreases. The Company records the decrease in its Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Deficiency as "Effect of subsidiary's equity transactions". All historical references to the shares issued by subsidiary have been restated to the March 31, 2004 share exchange. F-9

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and temporary investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2003 and 2002. Inventory - Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company had no inventory as of June 30, 2003 and 2002. Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were immaterial for each of the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Shipping and handling costs - Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred as part of cost of revenues. These costs were deemed to be immaterial during each of the reporting periods. F-10

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The fair value of the Company's notes payable and advances to related and affiliated parties are not reasonably determinable based on the related party nature of the transactions. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment consists primarily of computer equipment and is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (generally three to seven years) of the related assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, as charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment are reflected in the statement of operations in the period of disposal. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of property and equipment to determine if events and circumstances exist indicating that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company first compares the carrying amount of the asset to the asset's estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges). If the estimated future cash flows used in this analysis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying amount of the asset to the asset's estimated future cash flows (discounted and with interest charges). If the carrying amount exceeds the asset's estimated futures cash flows (discounted and with interest charges), the loss is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets. Patents - Patents consist of unamortized patent costs. The Company capitalizes external costs such as legal fees and patent application fees it incurs until a patent is granted from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Once a patent is granted, the Company amortizes its capitalized patent costs using the straight-line method over 17 years. At June 30, 2003, none of the Company's pending patents have been approved or granted. The Company assesses the carrying value of its patents for impairment each year. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. F-11

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accrued Compensation - Employees and management of the Company have been deferring their earned compensation since the Company's inception due to the Company's insufficient working capital levels. The Company properly expensed these obligations and the corresponding employment taxes associated with these deferred wages and salaries as incurred. The Company has accrued interest costs at a rate of 3% per annum on the unpaid balances. Certain employees have converted their deferred compensation into unsecured, zero-interest notes payable by the Company. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, $9,060 and $83,205, respectively, were converted from accrued compensation to notes payable. Revenue Recognition - Generally, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer (which constitutes delivery), provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. To the extent that one or more of these conditions are not met, which has occurred in the past, revenue is deferred until such time as all four criteria are met. Revenue from sales to integrators, value-added resellers and distributors is recognized on a "sell-through" basis, that is, when these parties report to the Company that resale of the product to the ultimate end customer has occurred. In general, the Company requires an upfront deposit for significant customer purchases. If the Company receives a payment from a customer prior to meeting all of the revenue recognition criteria, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue. The Company's current arrangements with its third party integrators, value-added resellers and distributors do not provide for any rights of return, price-protection or other contingencies. The Company's general credit terms requires a 50% deposit on order and complete payment within 30 days of shipment. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, there were no deposits for open orders. The Company records a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product sales in the same period as the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on known and estimated factors. Sales returns and allowances during each of the reporting periods have been deemed immaterial. F-12

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) To date, the Company has not established VSOE ("Vendor Specific Objective Evidence") of fair value for its software, products and services. For sales where maintenance is the only undelivered element, the Company recognized the total sale ratably over the term of the embedded maintenance period. The Company believes that it will establish VSOE of fair value for maintenance however, the exact timing is uncertain. Once VSOE of fair value for maintenance and other services is established, the Company will utilize the residual method of accounting as permitted under Statement of Position 98-9, "Modification of SOP 07-2, `Software Revenue Recognition, ` With Respect to Certain Transactions," and defer the VSOE of maintenance and recognize the residual amount of the total sale as software and product revenue in the period in which the arrangement exists, the software and products are delivered and the fee is collectible. Maintenance revenue will then be recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Software Development Costs - Costs incurred prior to technological feasibility of the Company's software products are expensed as research and development costs. Certain costs incurred after technological feasibility has been established are capitalized. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company has not capitalized any software costs. Income Taxes - Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates. The effect of a change in rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" as amended by SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for stock-based compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB 123", issued in December 2002.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Equity instruments issued to non-employee vendors are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services." All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the date on which the counter party's performance is complete. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." This statement amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 also requires that those effects be disclosed more prominently by specifying the form, content and location of those disclosures. The Company has adopted the disclosure only requirements of SFAS No. 148. The Company does not maintain a formal incentive compensation plan covering its employees, directors and independent contractors. Options to purchase the Company's common stock vest at varying intervals, but in general, typically vest over two to four year periods. An option's maximum term is ten years. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company's stock options. F-14

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per common share reflects, in addition to the weighted average number of common shares, the potential dilution if common stock options were exercised into common stock, unless the effects of such exercise would be anti-dilutive.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46 (Revised), ("FIN 46-R") to address certain FIN 46 implementation issues. This interpretation requires that the assets, liabilities, and the results of activities of a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") be consolidated into the financial statements of the enterprise that has a controlling interest in the VIE. FIN 46R also requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. For variable interest entities acquired or created before February 1, 2003, this interpretation is effective no later than the end of the first interim or reporting period ending after December 15, 2003, for all entities acquired subsequent to January 31, 2003, this interpretation is effective as of the first interim or annual period ending after December 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46R which revised certain provisions of FIN 46. Publicly reporting entities that are small business issuers must apply FIN 46R to all entities subject to FIN 46R no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2004 (as of December 31, 2004, for a calendar year enterprise). The effective date includes those entities to which FIN 46 had previously been applied. However, prior to the application of FIN 46R, a public entity that is a small business issuer shall apply FIN 46 or FIN 46R to those entities that are considered special-purpose entities no later than as of the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company's 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." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It 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. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. F-17

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) In October 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share." The EITF reached a consensus that contingently convertible instruments, such as contingently convertible debt, contingently convertible preferred stock, and other such securities should be included in diluted earnings per share (if dilutive) regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. The consensus became effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R "Shared Based Payment". This statement is a revision of SFAS Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R addresses all forms of shared based payment ("SBP") awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will be measured at fair value on the awards' grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will be reflected as compensation cost in the historical financial statements. This statement is effective for public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether the SFAS No. 123R will have a significant impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements. f-18

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-6). EITF 05-6 provides guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception. The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In September 2005, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force's ("EITF") Issue No. 05-7. "Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related Issues", which addresses whether a modification to a conversion option that changes its fair value affects the recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument after the modification, and whether a borrower should recognize a beneficial conversion feature, not a debt extinguishment, if a debt modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt. EITF 05-7 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. On September 28, 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in EITF Issue 05-8 ("Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature"): a) The issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference in applying FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Recognition of such a feature effectively creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes, whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income tax purposes. b) The resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount of the liability is recovered or settled. c) Recognition of deferred taxes for the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. This consensus is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27 , "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Debt Instruments" (and thus is applicable to debt instruments converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the financial statements). Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements. F-19

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of Business and Operations The Company AssureTec Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary (a development stage enterprise) (the "Company") develops integrated identity document management applications for use in government and commercial security applications. The Company's proprietary document management platform automatically reads records and authenticates identification documents, such as passports, visas or driver's licenses, through its proprietary database software, thereby reducing the risk of human error in detecting falsified or tampered forms of identification. The Company has not generated significant revenues from products that have been developed to date; accordingly, the Company is considered a development stage enterprise as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Companies." The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies in an early stage of development. Principal among these risks are dependencies on key individuals, competition from other substitute products and larger companies, the successful development and marketing of its products and the need to obtain adequate financing necessary to fund future operations. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced accumulated losses of approximately $4.3 million since inception. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $4.0 million. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing, and the acceptability of its integrated identity document management applications for use in government and commercial security applications to create sales that will help the Company achieve a profitable level of operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of the liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of Business and Operations (continued) Going Concern (continued) Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing, from which the proceeds will be primarily used to execute its operating plan. However, no assurances can be provided that the Company will obtain additional financing or achieve a profitable level of operations. Business Development On June 12, 2002, AssureTec Holdings, Inc ("ATH") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. The sole stockholder of ATH was Element 21 Golf Company ("Element 21"). Upon incorporation, Element 21 transferred certain assets and liabilities into ATH, including cash, accounts receivable and payable and all of Element 21's ownership of AssureTec Systems, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) ("ATS"). At the time of transfer, Element 21 owned approximately 34.2% of the issued and outstanding common stock of ATS. In addition, all of Element 21's ownership in three non-operating entities was transferred into ATH. The three non-operating entities were (i) Biorelease Technologies, Inc., (ii) I-Jam Entertainment, Inc. and (iii) Advanced Conductor Technologies, Inc. The ownership of these three non-operating entities was transferred to two stockholders of ATH, one of whom is the Company's chief executive officer, effective April 21, 2003 in consideration for the complete indemnification of ATH by the two stockholders of all current and future liabilities associated with these entities. Several individuals incorporated AssureTec Systems, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) ["ATS"] under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 2, 2001. ATS was formed to develop integrated identity document management applications for use in government and commercial security applications. Effective November 9, 2001, Element 21 acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ATS common stock in exchange for shares of Element 21 common stock. Element 21 is a Delaware corporation that, until October 2003, was doing business under the name BRL Holdings, Inc. ("BRL"). Element 21 was controlled by the same individuals who incorporated ATS. This transaction was executed between Element 21 and the individual owners of ATS to provide a better means of raising capital financing to further the commercialization of both ATS and Element 21 technologies.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of Business and Operations (continued) ATS operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Element 21 until April 1, 2002. On April 1, 2002, Element 21 transferred approximately 65.8% of its ownership of ATS to the original individual owners of ATS in exchange for shares of Element 21 common stock held by these individuals. This transaction was executed as Element 21 was unsuccessful in obtaining significant capital financing for both its and ATS' technologies and Element 21 was unable to support ATS' operations as a wholly owned subsidiary. Basis of Presentation On March 10, 2004, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 1-for-31 reverse stock split of its common stock and common stock equivalents. This reverse stock split was effective on March 10, 2004. All historical references to shares of common stock and price per share have been restated to reflect the 1-for-31 reverse stock split. See Note 7. On March 31, 2004, the Company completed its common stock and common stock equivalent share exchange with the individual stockholders of ATS (the "Share Exchange"). Holders of 7,358,115 shares of ATS common stock and options to purchase 6,945,966 shares of ATS common stock exchanged these securities and their associated rights for 474,717 shares of the Company's common stock and options to purchase 448,127 shares of the Company's common stock. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a common control merger. Effective as of March 31, 2004, there were no minority interests in ATS. The Company has complete ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of ATS common stock and common stock equivalents. See Note 7. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical accounting records of both ATH and ATS as the same management controlled both entities prior to the Share Exchange. The operations of ATH are limited and consist primarily of certain management costs, such as compensation and third party management and accounting services. Historical references to the Company's operations primarily consist of those transactions executed by ATS in the development of its integrated identity document management applications. See Note 7.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation - As described in Note 1, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATH and ATS as the same management controls each development stage enterprise. For all periods presented, losses attributable to minority interest were in excess of any investment in ATS by such minority interest investors. In addition, individual entities comprising minority interest did not have any commitment to fund any losses of ATS; accordingly no minority interest is presented in the accompanying financial statements. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Issuance of Stock by Subsidiary - The Company's subsidiary, ATS, has issued stock to related and unrelated parties during the normal course of its business. As a result of these stock issuances, the Company's net investment decreases. The Company records the decrease in its Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Deficiency as "Effect of subsidiary's equity transactions". Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and temporary investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2003. Inventory - Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Shipping and handling costs - Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred as part of cost of revenues. These costs were deemed to be immaterial during each of the reporting periods. F-42

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The fair value of the Company's notes payable and advances to related and affiliated parties are not reasonably determinable based on the related party nature of the transactions. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment consists primarily of computer equipment and is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (generally three to seven years) of the related assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, as charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment are reflected in the statement of operations in the period of disposal. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of property and equipment to determine if events and circumstances exist indicating that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company first compares the carrying amount of the asset to the asset's estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges). If the estimated future cash flows used in this analysis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying amount of the asset to he asset's estimated future cash flows (discounted and with interest charges). If the carrying amount exceeds the asset's estimated futures cash flows (discounted and with interest charges), the loss is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets. Patents - Patents consist of unamortized patent costs. The Company capitalizes external costs such as legal fees and patent application fees it incurs until a patent is granted from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Once a patent is granted, the Company amortizes its capitalized patent costs using the straight-line method over 17 years. At June 30, 2003, none of the Company's pending patents have been approved or granted. The Company assesses the carrying value of its patents for impairment each year. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2003. F-43

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accrued Compensation - Employees and management of the Company have been deferring their earned compensation since the Company's inception due to the Company's insufficient working capital levels. The Company properly expensed these obligations and the corresponding employment taxes associated with these deferred wages and salaries as incurred. The Company has accrued interest costs at a rate of 3% per annum on the unpaid balances. Certain employees have converted their deferred compensation into unsecured, zero-interest notes payable by the Company. As of September 30, 2003, $92,265 of accrued compensation has been converted into unsecured, zero-interest notes payable. Revenue Recognition - Generally, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer (which constitutes delivery), provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. To the extent that one or more of these conditions are not met, which has occurred in the past, revenue is deferred until such time as all four criteria are met. Revenue from sales to integrators, value-added resellers and distributors is recognized on a "sell-through" basis, that is, when these parties report to the Company that resale of the product to the ultimate end customer has occurred. In general, the Company requires an upfront deposit for significant customer purchases. If the Company receives a payment from a customer prior to meeting all of the revenue recognition criteria, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue. The Company's current arrangements with its third party integrators, value-added resellers and distributors do not provide for any rights of return, price-protection or other contingencies. The Company's general credit terms requires a 50% deposit on order and complete payment within 30 days of shipment. At September 30, 2003 there was a 50% deposit of $111,697 on orders that were shipped subsequent to September 30, 2003. The Company records a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product sales in the same period as the related revenue is recorded.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) To date, the Company has not established VSOE ("Vendor Specific Objective Evidence") of fair value for its software, products and services. For sales where maintenance is the only undelivered element, the Company recognized the total sale ratably over the term of the embedded maintenance period. The Company believes that it will establish VSOE of fair value for maintenance however, the exact timing is uncertain. Once VSOE of fair value for maintenance and other services is established, the Company will utilize the residual method of accounting as permitted under Statement of Position 98-9, "Modification of SOP 07-2, `Software Revenue Recognition, ` With Respect to Certain Transactions," and defer the VSOE of maintenance and recognize the residual amount of the total sale as software and product revenue in the period in which the arrangement exists, the software and products are delivered and the fee is collectible. Maintenance revenue will then be recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Software Development Costs - Costs incurred prior to technological feasibility of the Company's software products are expensed as research and development costs. Certain costs incurred after technological feasibility has been established are capitalized. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has not capitalized software costs. Income Taxes - Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates. The effect of a change in rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" as amended by SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for stock-based compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB 123", issued in December 2002.

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per common share reflects, in addition to the weighted average number of common shares, the potential dilution if common stock options were exercised into common stock, unless the effects of such exercise would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per common share are the same for 2003 and 2002 as potentially dilutive stock options totaling 341,768 at September 30, 2003 and 81,213 at September 30, 2002 have not been included in calculations of diluted net loss per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Comprehensive Loss - Comprehensive loss is equal to net loss for each of the reporting periods presented. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46 (Revised), ("FIN 46-R") to address certain FIN 46 implementation issues. This interpretation requires that the assets, liabilities, and the results of activities of a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") be consolidated into the financial statements of the enterprise that has a controlling interest in the VIE. FIN 46R also requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. For variable interest entities acquired or created before February 1, 2003, this interpretation is effective no later than the end of the first interim or reporting period ending after December 15, 2003, for all entities acquired subsequent to January 31, 2003, this interpretation is effective as of the first interim or annual period ending after December 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46R which revised certain provisions of FIN 46. Publicly reporting entities that are small business issuers must apply FIN 46R to all entities subject to FIN 46R no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2004 (as of December 31, 2004, for a calendar year enterprise). The effective date includes those entities to which FIN 46 had previously been applied. However, prior to the application of FIN 46R, a public entity that is a small business issuer shall apply FIN 46 or FIN 46R to those entities that are considered special-purpose entities no later than as of the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. F-47

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company's 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." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It 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. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In October 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share." The EITF reached a consensus that contingently convertible instruments, such as contingently convertible debt, contingently convertible preferred stock, and other such securities should be included in diluted earnings per share (if dilutive) regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. The consensus became effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R "Shared Based Payment". This statement is a revision of SFAS Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R addresses all forms of shared based payment ("SBP") awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will be measured at fair value on the awards' grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will be reflected as compensation cost in the historical financial statements. This statement is effective for public entities that file as small business issuers - as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether the SFAS No. 123R will have a significant impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements. F-48

ASSURETEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-6). EITF 05-6 provides guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception. The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In September 2005, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force's ("EITF") Issue No. 05-7. "Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related Issues", which addresses whether a modification to a conversion option that changes its fair value affects the recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument after the modification, and whether a borrower should recognize a beneficial conversion feature, not a debt extinguishment, if a debt modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt. EITF 05-7 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. On September 28, 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in EITF Issue 05-8 ("Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature"): a) The issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference in applying FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Recognition of such a feature effectively creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes, whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income tax purposes. b) The resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount of the liability is recovered or settled. c) Recognition of deferred taxes for the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. This consensus is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27 , "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Debt Instruments" (and thus is applicable to debt instruments converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the financial statements). Management is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements. 3. Inventory Inventory consisted of $152,400 in finished goods at September 30, 2003. F-49
