ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS PMC International, Inc. ("PMCI" or the "Company") is a financial products, consulting and software company that builds investment management products that assist individual investors in the diversification, management and monitoring of their investment portfolios. Through its wholly owned subsidiary Portfolio Management Consultants, Inc. ("PMC"), the Company directly markets its institutional services, although its individual wealth management services are distributed through financial companies such as banks and insurance companies that offer, among other services, "fee based" asset management. Not a money manager itself, PMC's products utilize and/or support the selection of unaffiliated money managers, using various investment vehicles ranging from mutual funds to private portfolio managers, depending upon the size, sophistication and requirements of the investor. PMC's services include investment suitability analysis, portfolio modeling and asset allocation, manager and/or fund selection, portfolio rebalancing, portfolio accounting and performance reporting. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from a percentage of the assets under management, and most software applications utilized by the Company have been developed internally and are proprietary. The Company's products and services are designed to support financial services companies and their retail sales people in their efforts to market high quality, fully diversified portfolio management programs. Additionally, PMCI's systems fully support the ongoing servicing of these clients, providing them with comprehensive and detailed reporting and monitoring, at competitive fees. The Company's products are structured to attain increased sales productivity, higher client retention and increased profit margins for the firms using its technologies and products. For additional information on the Company's products, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Founded in 1986 in Boulder, Colorado, PMCI and its subsidiaries employ a staff of 45 occupying two floors of the Anaconda Tower in downtown Denver, Colorado USA. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. The Company leases approximately 20,000 square feet of office space in the Anaconda Tower at 555 17th Street, Denver, Colorado pursuant to a lease which expires in 2001. The Company pays approximately $20,000 per month for its office space. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. As reported in prior filings, PMC has since April of 1994 been in discussions with the Central Regional Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding an investigation by that office of PMC's former practice of principal trading. Although the matter has not yet been settled with the SEC, Management now believes it is close to reaching a settlement agreement which, without admitting or denying certain SEC allegations, would allow the Company to close this matter. As with any such matter, there is always the possibility that settlement discussions could terminate without the matter reaching acceptable mutual resolution. PMCI, its subsidiaries, and its Officers have no other material regulatory or civil matters pending. The Company is not engaged in any material litigation, threatened or otherwise, at the time of this filing. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matter was submitted to the vote of security holders during 1995. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Prior to February 1995, the Company's Common Stock was traded on the NASDAQ system. The Company's Common Stock (symbol: PMCI) and Series A Preferred Stock (symbol: PMCIP) are currently traded in the over-the-counter market in the National Quotation

On July 15, 1992 the Company paid a dividend to the holders of its Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend paid was $.1625 per preferred share for a total dividend paid of approximately $69,000. The Company has not paid preferred dividends since July 15, 1992 and as a result, the preferred dividends cumulated. As of February 29, 1996 cumulated preferred dividends in arrears were $526,862. No dividends may be paid on Common Stock unless dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock are current and the Company obtains the consent of Bedford Capital Financial Corporation. No dividends have been paid to date by the Company on its Common Stock and the Company does not anticipate declaring a dividend on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Selected Financial Data. The selected financial data presented below has been derived from the Company's financial statements. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

Balance Sheet Data Year Ended December 31, 1995 1994 1993 Total Assets $2,940,000 $2,580,000 $3,258,000 Total Liabilities $4,856,000 $2,068,000 $1,515,000 Shareholders' Equity $(1,916,000) $ 512,000 $1,743,000 Statement of Operations Data Year Ended December 31, 1995 1994 1993 Revenues $9,172,000 $9,281,000 $8,385,000 Expenses $11,616,000 $10,511,000 $8,482,000 Net Income (Loss) $(2,444,000) $(1,230,000) $(97,000) Financial Analysis PMC International, Inc.'s (PMCI) consolidated revenues are generated through its subsidiaries Portfolio Management Consultants, Inc. (PMC), and Portfolio Brokerage Services, Inc. (PBS). These revenues are primarily derived from fees charged to clients for certain investment advisory, broker-dealer, portfolio administration and reporting services ("Investment Management Fees") which generally are collected in advance on a quarterly basis from each of its clients. PMC's Investment Management Fees are collected as a percentage of assets under management. Assets under management are impacted by both the extent to which PMC attracts new, or loses existing clients and the appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. and international equity and fixed income markets. In fiscal 1996 PMCI will begin recognizing revenues from sales, customization, and maintenance of the software products developed by Portfolio Technology Services, Inc. (PTS), a wholly owned subsidiary. Investment Management Fees for the year 1995 increased to $8,632,888 from $8,556,518 in 1994. The Company's consolidated revenues for the same period were $9,172,479 versus $9,280,650 for 1994, a decline of 1.2%. This decrease is largely the result of discontinuation of principal trading activities in April of 1994. Revenues generated from principal trading in the first quarter of that year were approximately $200,000. The portion of the Investment Management Fees paid to investment advisers who make specific investment decisions on a discretionary basis ("Portfolio Manager") for the client and broker-dealer, investment adviser agents who service the client ("Financial Adviser") and custodial fees for these periods accounted for $5,139,613 versus $4,967,557 for 1994, representing an increase of 3.5%. PMC's lower margins were a result of several factors including 1) a shift in asset growth from higher margin sales channels to lower margin channels, and 2) larger average new client relationships which pay lower gross fees to PMC. Management has taken steps to increase its marketing efforts relative to its higher margin sales channels. It is also making adjustments to the pricing of larger relationships to increase margins on these accounts. In April 1994, PMCI issued a public announcement regarding an SEC investigation that began in late 1993. The investigation focused on the firm's principal trading activities. During 1994 the Company expended approximately $800,000 in legal fees and other expenses in connection with this matter. During 1995, legal fees relating to this matter represented an additional $260,000. The Company accrued $465,000 in 1995 as a reserve against estimated settlement expense related to this investigation. Management believes it is close to reaching a final settlement with the SEC in connection with this matter, although no assurance of any kind can be offered. See "Legal Proceedings." Interest expense, resulting from a bridge loan completed in March 1995, and subordinated debt amounted to $83,000 while depreciation and amortization expenses totaled $171,907 for the period. Non-recurring costs relating to the restructuring of PMCI in July 1995, including investment banking and legal fees, were $190,000; and severance costs in connection with the departure of Mr. Marc Geman, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, totaled $180,000. To summarize, $255,000 went towards
10-K6th Page of 35TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
interest, depreciation and amortization while approximately $1,000,000 went towards non-recurring expenses. Significant changes in PMCI's balance sheet, which impacted PMCI's cash flow requirements, included the capitalization of $419,617 in connection with the development of the Allocation Manager(Trademark) software program and $316,176 of newly acquired fixed assets in connection with hardware and software requirements for PTS and PMC's operations department. The acquisition of these fixed assets is expected to significantly lower operating costs in connection with the management and administration of the Company's managed account products, although the cost reductions are not expected to be fully realized until the third quarter of 1996. During the interim period, the Company can be expected to experience higher than normal expenses due to the costs of installing new systems while existing systems are still necessary for operations. Additionally, $179,955 of other fixed assets and leasehold improvements was capitalized. Liabilities increased substantially over the prior period. Much of the increase was the result of the Company's cash flow difficulties. Accrued expenses, not requiring current cash payment, totaled $794,000, including $465,000 reserved for the estimated expense of a settlement with the SEC. Notes payable increased by $1,600,000 as a result of the Company's financing efforts during 1995. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, PBS voluntarily discontinued the industry-wide practice of receiving payment for securities trade order flow. Historically, such payments have totaled approximately $100,000 per year. Liquidity and Capital Resources PMCI's significant loss of $2,443,555 in 1995 was the result of non-recurring expenses of approximately $1,000,000 and operating loss of approximately $1,400,000. Non-recurring expenses primarily include the SEC estimated settlement accrual and related legal fees, severance pay to an executive officer, and debt issuance costs. In July 1995, the Company borrowed $1.2 million from Bedford Capital Financial Corporation ("Bedford"). The loan bears interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum and payments of interest commence in August 1996. The loan is due and payable in July 2000, and is secured by a first lien on all of the assets of the Company. In connection with the loan, Bedford received a Warrant to purchase 1.2 million shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share at any time prior to July 2005, subject to certain conditions. The Warrant can be exercised by applying the outstanding balance of the loan to the exercise price of the Warrant. In addition, the Warrant must be exercised by Bedford within thirty (30) days of the Company's delivery to Bedford of audited financial statements which show the Company has earned after-tax profits of at least $1,000,000 for two consecutive fiscal years. Bedford also obtained an option to lend an additional $1.8 million to the Company under substantially the same terms as the original loan, until July 1, 1996, or until thirty days after a settlement is finalized regarding the pending Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of the Company, whichever occurs first. In addition, the Company granted to Bedford certain other rights in connection with future debt and equity financing. Bedford has a right of first negotiation regarding future fundings, which includes a 30 day exclusive negotiation period, and a right of first refusal to match unsolicited offers for financing, which includes a 30 day notice period. Also as part of the debt financing, Bedford received certain "mirror option" rights. Such rights entitle Bedford, at its option, to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock, at the same price, or in the case of Preferred Stock, at the lower of the exchange price or the average daily closing price for the Common Stock for the preceding 30 trading days, when options or warrants are exercised which were outstanding at the time the Bedford transaction was completed, or upon the conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock for Common Stock. The "mirror option" rights continue until the later of the time the $1.2 million loan is paid in full; the $1.8 million loan, if made, is paid in full; or Bedford owns any Common Stock in the Company. Bedford also obtained certain rights with respect to registration of its stock. So long as Bedford owns any Common Stock, it has two demand registration rights and has continuing piggyback registration rights with respect to other Company offerings. The Company would bear the expense of each registration, exclusive of discounts and commissions. In February 1995, the Company borrowed $300,000 in conjunction with a private placement debt offering. Investors received a promissory note and a warrant to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock in an amount equal to the dollar amount of funds loaned to the Company. The warrants are exercisable at $1.62 per share for five years. The promissory notes were repaid in July 1995. In addition, the Company commenced a private placement debt offering whereby $425,000 was borrowed by the Company as of
10-K7th Page of 35TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
December 31, 1995. Investors received a promissory note payable in December 1996, bearing interest at 9%. As further consideration, the lenders received a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock for each dollar borrowed, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share for a period of five years. Several of the Company's employees participated in this loan. The Company anticipates a requirement for additional capital to fund losses projected for the first two or three quarters of 1996 and for debt service. Management believes the balance of the Bedford option would largely meet the Company's existing cash flow requirements, although there can be no assurance that Bedford will elect to exercise its option or that the Company's cash requirements would be met if they did. During the first four months of 1996, Bedford made partial exercises of its loan option and loaned an additional $681,000 to the Company, $440,000 of which has been placed in reserve in connection with the proposed SEC settlement. To allow for the possibility that Bedford may not exercise the balance of its option or that the Company would need further funding, the Company has extended the private placement debt offering dated December 14, 1995 and is currently engaged in discussions with several other funding sources. There can be no assurance that internal or external sources of liquidity will be available to meet the Company's cash flow requirements. In the absence of such funds, PMCI's marketing and sales efforts will be hampered with an expected corresponding decrease in revenues, and an adverse impact on the Company's prospects for profitability. See the accompanying audited financial statements. Company Developments: 1995 was a year of significant restructuring, growth and change for PMCI and its affiliates. Accomplishments for the year include 1) the completion and release of three new products, including Allocation Manager, an asset allocation software program; Style Manager, a portfolio rebalancing and money management strategy; and Managed Asset Reporting Services ("MARS"), a performance reporting service; 2) the initiation of a financial restructuring of the Company, and 3) the successful recruitment of several key employees including Mr. David Andrus as President of PTS and Executive Vice President of PMCI and Ms. Carolyn Kling as Senior Vice President and Managing Director responsible for new business development at PMC. Additionally, the Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer left the firm and PMCI's founder, Kenneth S. Phillips, was elected Chief Executive Officer, in addition to his continuing duties as President. Product developments lead the Company's list of important accomplishments during 1995. These new products are intended to position PMCI for expansion into different markets and market segments, both domestically and globally, increasing PMCI's potential for renewed growth and profitability. These new products seek to diversify and expand both PMCI's business opportunities and its revenue sources. Although PMC's commitment to the development of these products came at a less than perfect time from a financial perspective, Management considers the products necessary to position the Company for future participation in the increasingly competitive global financial services industry. PMCI's new products advance the Company from having a single product line with limited applications into a Company with four distinct products, each with their own markets and profit opportunities, serving a broader range of clientele. The ability to diversify product offerings, as well as sources of revenue, should improve PMCI's prospects in the years to come. Additionally, the newly developed products are closely integrated, leveraging existing areas of PMCI expertise and exploiting the economies of scale available through the Company's existing infrastructure. PMCI has four distinct products serving four distinct market segments. The products are: 1. Private Wealth Management ("PWM"): Operated by PMCI's investment advisor subsidiary Portfolio Management Consultants, Inc. ("PMC"), this privately managed "wrap-fee" program has traditionally been the Company's primary source of revenue. Together with its institutional investment consulting practice, Management believes PWM will continue as the Company's principal revenue source for the next twelve to twenty-four months. Although PWM continues to provide PMC with growth potential, Management now considers this product to be best targeted towards clients with minimum investments approaching $1 million. This represents a shift in strategy from several years ago when PMC encouraged minimum accounts of $100,000.
10-K8th Page of 35TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
A labor-intensive business with significant fixed costs, PMC has experienced difficulty achieving sustained profitability with this product alone. Management believes profitability of this division can and will be achieved and sustained in the near term as a result of continued asset growth and certain cost reduction measures. During 1995 PMC both increased its sales and marketing budgets while implementing several cost reduction strategies in connection with fixed costs. These changes are not expected to yield visible results until the third quarter 1996. Additionally, the Company plans to adjust pricing on certain portions of its business in order to increase gross margins on future business. Management believes that by maintaining higher average sized client relationships and accounts, while directing smaller relationships to its new products (described below), PWM will become profitable. Wrap fee programs have grown significantly in popularity throughout the U.S. Industry reports estimate assets in wrap programs to now exceed $100 billion. Under the terms of a wrap program, the sponsor agrees to provide the client with a package of advisory, custodial and brokerage services for a single annual fee, expressed as a percentage of the assets under management. Under the PWM Program, client's receive the services of independent money managers and an independent custodian as well as receiving asset allocation recommendations and comprehensive quarterly performance reporting from PMC. Because PMC's fees are based upon a percentage of the assets under management, performance of U.S. and International stock and bond markets can affect portfolio values which in turn impact revenues and profitability. U.S. stock market appreciation during 1995, for example, contributed to asset growth that year. A severe or prolonged decline in the U.S. markets could have the opposite effect. Additionally, competition in the wrap fee industry has created pricing pressure, although Management believes these pressures exist more acutely with the smallest of account relationships, which are typically charged the highest fees. PMC will continue to emphasize larger client relationships in its business development efforts. 2. Allocation Manager ("AM"): AM was developed during 1994 and 1995 by PMCI's subsidiary, Portfolio Technology Services, Inc. ("PTS"), with assistance from PMC. Version 1.0 was released in December of 1995 and Version 2.0 was released during March of 1996. A comprehensive PC based program, operating in Windows and written in Visual Basic, AM supports the solicitation, sales and servicing of diversified asset allocation programs using, primarily, mutual funds. Additional versions of AM with further enhancements, are scheduled for release during 1996. The upcoming versions are expected to include, in addition to mutual funds, private money manager products, variable annuities, and other investment products. A comprehensive portfolio optimization capability is also planned. Based upon, among other things, the substantial growth in the mutual funds industry over the last 10 years, investor trends in mutual fund investment and industry expectations, Management believes PMC's existing expertise and operations provide for a smooth integration of this new program while expanding and diversifying the client base for the Company's products. That asset allocation program, which assists investors in developing their investment strategies and selecting appropriate combinations of mutual funds, is intended to fill an important place in the investor market place. Although it was initially projected that AM would be released in September 1995, and would contribute revenues to the Company during the fourth quarter, a limited release in December and a release of Version 2.0 in the first quarter of 1996 resulted in the product being approximately four to six months behind schedule. The delay in completing the software was due to the complexity of the program and time spent developing additional disclosure and compliance features. AM is a flexible software program built with the capability of being customized. As a result, AM supports a broad range of financial products and programs, both domestically and globally, and can be customized to the individual requirements of institutional clients. The software can be used for non-U.S. applications in addition to traditional domestic asset allocation programs and variable annuity products. A version of AM, called Fund Counselor (Servicemark), is also being marketed by National Financial Correspondent Services Corp. ("NFCS"), the brokerage and securities clearing subsidiary of Fidelity Management and Research Corp. ("FMR"). Under the Fund Counselor Program, NFCS will provide brokerage clearing and custodial services, and will market the program to its more than 225 bank, insurance and financial planning broker/dealers. Compensation to PTS and PMC in connection with AM and Fund Counselor is based upon 1) fees received in connection with investment advisory services provided to institutional clients pursuant to a support services agreement, 2) software licensing
10-K9th Page of 35TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
and customization fees for use of the product, 3) software maintenance fees, and 4) a percentage of the assets managed within the AM product. Substantial financial and personnel resources were committed to the development of AM. Direct software development costs, in addition to hardware and software purchases to support the program, totaled nearly $1,000,000 during 1995. Additionally, many of PMC's full-time staff supported contract programmers with the many aspects of product research, design, planning and implementation. 3. Managed Asset Reporting Services ("MARS"): Management believes that as a result of the tremendous growth within the fee- based financial advisory segment of the industry over the past ten years, many institutions have been seeking ways to improve their reporting capabilities in order to provide their clients with better deliverables and "value added" services. During 1995 PMC entered into an agreement with National Financial Correspondent Services, Inc. (NFCS), to manage their newly created performance reporting service called MAPS Tool Box ("MAPS"). MAPS provides NFCS's correspondents with access to high quality, quarterly performance reports and tax lot, cost basis, fully accrued account statements. This service is targeted at high net worth clients managed by financial planners and financial consultants who use the securities clearing services of NFCS. When PMC's reporting services are offered through NFCS, they are marketed within the MAPS structure. When the reporting is offered directly by PMC to non-NFCS clients, the service is called MARS. Through year end 1995 there were several hundred accounts utilizing either MAPS or MARS, and Management, based upon industry interest in the product, anticipates healthy growth in the product. Primarily a "data-processing" type business (PMC does not act as an investment advisor in connection with this product), MARS and MAPS are expected to begin contributing to PMCI earnings during the first quarter of 1996 and could make a significant contribution by year end 1997. No material costs were incurred in developing MARS and MAPS. 4. Style Manager Asset Management Products: During 1994 and 1995 PMC began committing resources to researching different methods of portfolio rebalancing. As a result of this work, the Company developed a family of asset management products marketed under the name Style Manager, which recommend strategies for periodic portfolio rebalancing. Currently, three Style Manager versions have been developed: Large Style Manager, Fiduciary Style Manager, and Style Manager 1. These products seek to enhance investment performance through the rotation of U.S. equity styles, i.e. growth and value companies and large, mid and small capitalization companies. Recommended shifts in equity allocations are designed to move assets away from under- performing sectors into those likely to perform best. Although Style Manager recommends shifts within the US equity markets, it does not recommend shifts between macro asset classes such as stocks, bonds and cash. The Style Manager products are being marketed in two ways. First, Fiduciary Style Manager is offered as one of several rebalancing options within the Allocation Manager (AM) mutual fund program. Clients using AM can, at their option, elect to have their portfolios periodically rebalanced pursuant to the Fiduciary Style Manager recommendations. Secondly, PMC has begun exposing and marketing Large Style Manager and Fiduciary Style Manager to the institutional investment industry which includes retirement trusts, endowments and foundations. Minimum institutional accounts are anticipated to be approximately $5 million. Although senior members of PMC's quantitative research group have worked on this project since 1994, no additional material costs have been incurred and management of this product can be effectuated within PMCI's existing infrastructure. Other Matters. The Company's business falls entirely within the securities industry, an industry which is heavily regulated by both the federal and state governments. The Company has no ability to prevent and only limited ability to foresee regulatory changes which could adversely affect its business. As an example, in the event the federal government imposes a tax on securities transactions, as has been proposed from time to time by the executive branch of the federal government, the increased cost associated therewith could have a direct and substantial adverse effect on the business of the Company. In addition, as an investment adviser, the Company's subsidiary is subject to a variety of different state regulations. Consequently, the Company could become subject to restrictions or sanctions from a number of state regulatory agencies. It is impossible to predict the direction future regulations will take or the effect of such

regulations on the Company's business. Changes in the law, new regulation or the interpretations of existing law could have an adverse effect on the Company's business. While the Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all laws, regulations and licensing requirements applicable to it, there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in substantial compliance with all such laws, regulations and licensing requirements in the future, or that a failure to remain in substantial compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. Most of the Company's gross revenues are generated by fees from the Company's Private Wealth Management investment advisory programs. The programs are provided both by the Company under its own name and marketed through solicitor arrangements with other registered investment advisors, and through banks, insurance companies, and financial planning firms under such companies' "private label". The Company's private label relationships with Chase Manhattan Investment Services, Inc. (CMIS) and Israel Discount Bank accounted for approximately 22% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's gross revenues during 1995. The Company has been advised that CMIS is restructuring its business, which restructuring could potentially adversely affect the gross revenues derived from that relationship. The Company's solicitor relationship with Royal Alliance Associates, Inc. accounted for approximately 10% of the Company's gross revenues during 1995. While the Company has no reason to believe these relationships will not continue, there is no assurance of that and the loss or impairment of these relationships would adversely affect the business of the Company ITEM 7.

Outside directors are entitled to receive a $5,000 annual retainer and fees of $500 per Board Meeting attended. Stock Option Plans The Company has a Stock Option Plan. A summary description of the Plan follows. Stock Option Plan. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to the Plan. Only Company employees may be granted options pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan was intended as an Incentive Stock Option Plan, however shareholder approval of the Plan was not sought or obtained within one year of Board adoption and consequently options granted thereunder will not receive incentive stock option treatment. The Board of Directors is currently considering the termination of the existing Stock Option Plan and the adoption of a 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan, which is expected to provide for the issuance of Incentive Stock Options and Non-qualified Stock Options to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors to the Company. There is no assurance that the existing Plan will be terminated and a new plan adopted.

Options granted pursuant to the Plan not previously exercised terminate upon the first to occur of the following dates. (a) The expiration of three months after the date on which an option holder's employment by the Company is terminated (except if such termination is due to death or permanent and total disability); (b) The expiration of 12 months after the date on which an option holder's employment by the Company is terminated, if such termination is due to the Employee's permanent and total disability; (c) In the event of an option holder's death while in the employ of the Company, his executors or administrators may exercise, within three months following the date of his death, the option as to any of the shares not previously exercised; (d) The expiration of the option. The total fair market value of the shares of Common Stock (determined at the time of the grant of the option) for which any employee may be granted options which are first exercisable in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. Options may not be exercised until one year following the date of grant. Options granted to an employee then owning more than 10% of the Common Stock of the Company may not be exercisable by its terms after five years from the date of grant. Any other option granted pursuant to the Plan may not be exercisable by its terms after ten years from the date of grant. The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an option is determined by the Committee administering the Plan, but cannot be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a person owning more than 10% of the Company's outstanding shares). During 1995, the Board of Directors granted a total of 150,000 options under the Plan. Other Information Regarding the Plan. The Plan is administered by a Compensation Committee ("the Committee"), each member of which is a director of the Company. The members of the Committee were selected by the Company's Board of Directors and serve for a one-year tenure and until their successors are elected. A member of the Committee may be removed at any time by action of the Board of Directors. Any vacancies which may occur on the Committee will be filled by the Board of Directors. The Committee is vested with the authority to interpret the provisions of the Plans and supervise the administration of the Plans. In addition, the Committee is empowered to select those persons to whom options are to be granted, to determine the number of shares subject to each grant of an option and to determine when, and upon what conditions, options granted under the Plan will vest or otherwise be subject to forfeiture and cancellation. In the discretion of the Committee, any option granted pursuant to the Plan may include installment exercise terms such that the option becomes fully exercisable in a series of cumulating portions. The Committee may also accelerate the date upon which any option (or any part of any options) is first exercisable. Any options granted pursuant to the Plan will be forfeited if the "vesting" schedule established by the Committee administering the Plan at the time of the grant is not met. For this purpose, vesting means the period during which the employee must remain an employee of the Company. At the time an employee ceases working for the Company, any options not fully vested will be forfeited and canceled. At the discretion of the Committee payment for the shares of Common Stock underlying options may be paid through the delivery of shares of the Company's Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to the option price, provided such shares have been owned by the option holder for at least one year prior to such exercise. A combination of cash and shares of Common Stock may also be permitted at the discretion of the Committee. Options are generally non-transferable except upon death of the option holder. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time, and from time to time, amend, terminate, or suspend the Plan in any manner it deems appropriate, provided that such amendment, termination or suspension will not adversely affect rights or obligations with respect to options previously granted. The Board of Directors may not, without shareholder approval: make any

amendment which would materially modify the eligibility requirements for the Plan; increase or decrease the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plan except in the case of a reclassification of the Company's capital stock or a consolidation or merger of the Company; reduce the minimum option price per share; extend the period for granting options; or materially increase in any other way the benefits accruing to employees who are eligible to participate in the Plan. Any options granted under the Plan must be granted before December 31, 2003. The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, nor is it subject to any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. ITEM 11.

The Company entered into an agreement with Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. Inc., investment bankers, in January 1995, pursuant to which Ladenburg would assist the Company in financing efforts. Ladenburg was involved in the Company's transactions with Bedford. Mr. Porter Bibb, a principal of Ladenburg, was named to the Company's Board of Directors in September 1995. In July 1995, the Company borrowed $1.2 million from Bedford. As a result of this transaction and a simultaneous transaction wherein Bedford purchased 1 million shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company from a former principal of the Company, Bedford became a greater than 10% shareholder of the Company, with the right to acquire in excess of 50% of the Company's stock. Mr. J.W. Nevil Thomas and Mr. William L. Atkinson, affiliates of Bedford, were appointed to the Company's Board of Directors in connection with that transaction.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Shareholders PMC International, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PMC International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. SPICER, JEFFRIES & CO. Denver, Colorado April 12, 1996

PMC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization On September 23, 1993, the shareholders of Schield Management Company ("Schield") approved an exchange of common stock of Schield for all of the outstanding common stock of Portfolio Management Consultants, Inc. ("PMC") and a name change from Schield to PMC International, Inc. ("PMCI"). The stock exchange was completed on September 30, 1993 and as a result of this transaction, PMC is a wholly owned subsidiary of PMCI. The stock exchange between Schield and PMC has been considered a reverse acquisition and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under reverse acquisition accounting, PMC was considered the acquiror for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Schield. The Schield assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values. The cost of the acquisition of Schield of $1,741,018 was based on the NASDAQ publicly traded price of the outstanding Schield common stock prior to the announcement of the transaction. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. PMC was organized in 1986 and its principal business activity is the administration of private and institutional managed account programs with its customers located substantially in the United States. Its services include investment suitability analysis, portfolio modeling and asset allocation, money manager selection, portfolio accounting and performance reporting. PMC's revenues are primarily derived from a percentage of the assets under management. Assets under management are impacted by both the extent to which PMC attracts new, or loses existing clients and the appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. and international equity and fixed income markets. Assets of customers of two unrelated organizations constitute approximately 42% and 9% of the total customer assets in PMC's managed account programs as of December 31, 1995. PMC is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. In June, 1994, Portfolio Brokerage Services, Inc. ("PBS) was capitalized through a series of transactions with PMCI and PMC, whereby PBS became a wholly owned subsidiary of PMCI by issuing 1,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for certain assets and liabilities with a book value of $1,532,332. PBS is engaged in business as a securities broker-dealer. As a broker-dealer it executes security transactions for PMC's privately managed account programs, on behalf of its customers through the customer's custodian bank on a delivery vs. payment basis. PTS was organized in June, 1994 but had no operations until 1995. PTS was formed for the purpose of developing proprietary software for use in the financial services industry.

PMC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 (Continued) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the historical accounts of PMC for all periods and the accounts of PMCI since September 30, 1993, PBS and Portfolio Technology Services, Inc. ("PTS") since inception. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Significant Accounting Policies Revenue from investment management services is recorded as such revenues accrue under the terms of the related investment management contracts. Securities transactions and related commission income are recorded on a trade date basis. In the normal course of business, PBS executes, as agent, transactions on behalf of customers. If the agency transactions do not settle because of failure to perform by either the customer or the counter- party, PBS may be obligated to discharge the obligation of the non-performing party and, as a result, may incur a loss if the market value of the security is different from the contract amount of the transactions. The majority of costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of the Company's software products intended to be sold or otherwise marketed were borne by unrelated individuals prior to the products being introduced to the Company. The Company incurred approximately $50,000 in research and development costs after receiving the products from the unrelated individuals. These costs have been included in the statement of operations. All subsequent costs incurred after technological feasibility was achieved were capitalized and will be amortized when the product is available for general release. The Company provides for depreciation of furniture and equipment on the straight line and declining balance methods based on estimated lives of three to seven years. Cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows includes highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at date of acquisition. Net loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, giving affect to the reverse stock split discussed in Note 4 and preferred dividend requirements. Common stock equivalents are not included in the weighted average calculation since their effect would be anti-dillutive. Goodwill is amortized using the straight line method over 15 years.

PMC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 (Continued) NOTE 2 - LIABILITIES SUBORDINATED TO CLAIMS OF GENERAL CREDITORS At December 31, 1994, the borrowings under a 9-1/2% subordination agreement were pursuant to a secured demand note collateral agreement due November 30, 1995. The subordinated borrowings were covered by an agreement approved by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and were thus available in computing net capital under the Securities and Exchange Commission's uniform net capital rule. Such borrowings could not be repaid to the extent that such borrowings were required for PBS's continued compliance with minimum net capital requirements. The agreement required PBS to make monthly payments of interest. In July 1995, this subordination agreement was repaid. NOTE 3 - LONG TERM NOTE RECEIVABLE In connection with the Schield reverse acquisition, the Company acquired a long term note receivable related to the sale of Schield's market timing operations to an entity controlled by a founder of Schield. The note is payable in monthly installments of $32,000, including interest through August, 1998. The note was recorded at its estimated fair value as of September 30, 1993. The discount from the face amount of the note receivable is accreted to interest income over the life of the note using the interest method. The principal balance of the note as of December 31, 1995 is $1,028,452 compared to its carrying amount of $897,167. NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Reverse Stock Split All shares and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been restated to give effect to a one for five reverse stock split of the Company's common stock which was effective November 12, 1993. Preferred Stock Holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends at a rate of $0.325 per share per annum (equal to 13% of the purchase price per share attributable to the preferred stock). Dividends are payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 in each year. Dividends accrue from the date of the preferred stock issuance and are cumulative. Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, holders of preferred stock are entitled to a preference over the holders of common stock in an amount per share equal to the original purchase price attributed to a share of preferred stock ($2.50) plus all unpaid cumulative dividends. The preferred stock is non-participating and the holders of preferred stock have no preemptive rights and no voting rights except as may be required by Colorado law. At the option of the Company, the preferred stock may be redeemed in whole, or in part, at a price of $2.75 per share, plus unpaid cumulative dividends. Redemption can only occur if certain conditions regarding the bid prices of the Company's common stock and the Company's after-tax earnings are met. As of

PMC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 (Continued) NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued) January 15, 1996, cumulative dividends in arrears totalled $526,862. Stock Options and Warrants During 1994, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan. Under this plan, the Company may grant stock options to officers and employees. The Stock Option Plan was intended as an Incentive Stock Option Plan, however shareholder approval of the Plan was not sought or obtained within one year of Board adoption and consequently options granted thereunder will not receive incentive stock option treatment. Outside of this plan, the Company has granted options to officers, employees, shareholders and certain other individuals and entities which would allow them to purchase common stock of the Company. In addition common stock warrants have been issued in connection with certain private offerings of debt. At December 31, 1995, options and warrants to purchase common stock at various prices were outstanding with expiration as follows: Expiration Exercise Date Options Warrants Price January, 96 1,000 - $ 1.375 April, 96 100,000 - 3.750 July, Sept. 96 39,000 - 3.100 Nov. 96, Jan. 97 20,000 - 2.500 June, 97, Oct. 97 50,500 - 2.500 February, 98 52,000 - 3.100 February, 98 150,000 - 1.300 December, 98 - 300,000 1.620 September, 99 300,000 - 1.370 December, 98 215,500 - 1.375 December, 2000 - 425,000 1.000 May, 2005 10,000 .844 July, 2005 - 1,200,000 1.000 ________ ___________ 938,000 1,925,000 ======== =========== At December 31, 1995 there were also 200,000 options granted but not issued under an employment agreement, subject to performance and vesting requirements, exercisable at $1.00. In addition, the shareholder with a $1,200,000 note payable referred to in note 7, has an option to acquire 1,800,000 warrants exercisable at $1.00.

PMC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 (Continued) NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES The Company has an unused net operating loss carryforward of approximately $3,000,000 for income tax purposes, $1,200,000 expiring in 2009 and the remainder expiring in 2010. This net operating loss carryforward may result in future income tax benefits; however, because realization is uncertain at this time, a valuation reserve in the same amount has been established. Temporary differences arise from the deduction of certain accrued expenses for financial statement purposes and not for income tax reporting purposes and the recording of depreciation. NOTE 6 - REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS PBS is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. At December 31, 1995, PBS had net capital and net capital requirements of $219,860 and $100,000, respectively. The Company's net capital ratio (aggregate indebtedness to net capital) was .29 to 1. According to Rule 15c3-1, PBS's net capital ratio shall not exceed 15 to 1. On a consolidated basis, as a result of the requirement, net assets of $120,000 are unavailable for any purpose other than meeting PBS's net capital requirements at December 31, 1995. NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable consist of the following: 1995 1994 8-1/2% note payable to shareholder, due July $1,200,000 $ - 26, 2000 interest payable monthly beginning August 10, 1996, principal and all accrued and unpaid interest is due at maturity, secured by all assets of PMCI and its subsidiaries (except PBS which security interest is only to its outstanding common stock owned by PMCI). 11.5% note payable to shareholder(s), unsecured, due August 1, 1998, payable in monthly installments of $832 including interest. 22,470 45,000 9% notes payable to employees and unrelated individuals, due December 29, 1996, principal and interest payable on or before maturity date, secured by a second lien on Company assets. 425,000 - _____________ __________ $1,647,470 $45,000 ============= ==========

PMC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 (Continued) NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE (continued) The above $1,200,000 shareholder note payable is related to a financing and stock purchase agreement which encompasses a series of transactions, none of which are considered binding until certain criteria are met. The shareholder acquired 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock in a private transaction with another individual and loaned the Company $1,200,000. In connection with this loan, a warrant to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock (see note 4) was also received. In addition, the shareholder obtained an option to lend the Company an additional $1,800,000 and received option rights similar to the initial loan. In December, 1995 the Company accepted an offer from this shareholder to partially exercise its $1,800,000 option above, in the amount of $440,000 to fund the expected settlement costs with the Securities and Exchange Commission as mentioned in note 8. In January 1996 the shareholder partially exercised its $1,800,000 option above and loaned the Company $241,000, and received a warrant to purchase 241,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. On December 14, 1995 the Company commenced a private offering of units. Each unit consists of a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $1,000 and a warrant to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a per share price equal to the greater of $1.00 or the market price on the initial closing date of the offering (see note 4). As of December 31, 1995, 425 units were sold pursuant to this offering. Maturities of notes payable are as follows: Year ending December 31, 1996 $431,003 1997 8,535 1998 7,932 1999 - 2000 1,200,000 __________ $1,647,470 ========== During March, 1995, through a private offering, PMCI issued $300,000 of convertible promissory notes bearing 15% interest per annum. These notes were repaid in July 1995. NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has leases for office space and equipment under various operating and capital leases. Included in furniture and equipment is $90,119 of equipment under capital leases at December 31, 1995 and accumulated depreciation relating to these leases of $6,588. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable leases as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 1995, PMC paid $6,117 under this lease. Total rent expense for facilities and equipment for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, was $410,263 and $301,964, respectively. PMC is under a formal order of private investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to certain aspects of PMC's practices with respect to the purchase and sale of securities for its customer accounts. PMC discontinued this practice in April, 1994 and has submitted a written statement to the staff of the Commission. The Company has submitted settlement proposals to the Commission, without admitting or denying liability, on behalf of PMC under a plan which PMC would disgorge its trading profits realized from principal trading together with prejudgment interest in the amount of $465,000. This amount has been included in other liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. At the present time, management and its legal counsel are unable to determine if the proposal will be accepted by the Commission, or what action, if any, the Commission will take in regards to this matter. Therefore the $465,000 is only an estimate of the settlement amount; the actual settlement amount could be in excess of the amount recorded in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify a prior officer and shareholder for expenses incurred in his defense of this investigation. The Company is involved in certain litigation arising in the normal course of business, which is in the preliminary or early stages. Management, after review and discussion with counsel, believes the resolution of the matters will not have a material effect on the Company.

PMC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 (Concluded) The Company has suffered significant losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,800,000 that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company discontinue operations. NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN Salary deferral "401(k)" plan The plan allows employees, who have completed one year of employment and at least 1,000 hours service, to defer up to 15% of their salary. The Company intends to match employee contributions by an amount determined annually by the board of directors. Only contributions up to the first 6% of an employee's salary will be considered for the match. On February 15, 1995 PMCI's Board of Directors approved the issuance of 15,212 shares of PMCI common stock (valued at the market price at the date of grant of $1.00 per share) to match participant's contributions for the year ended December 31, 1994.
