PART I  

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS                                                               

Overview                                                                        

The Company                                                                     

DBS  Industries,  Inc.  is  dedicated  to  providing  innovative  satellite  and
telecommunications  based solutions for the monitoring and control of energy and
critical natural resources and their  often-inaccessible  remote infrastructure.
Through our ten years of development  experience in satellite  system design and
energy  monitoring and control,  we have developed  expertise that enabled us to
develop  what we believe is a currently  marketable  data  messaging  system and
obtained control over a satellite license that we believe will significantly aid
the future expansion of our service. We are a development stage company and have
an  accumulated  net loss since  inception of more than $24 million and negative
working  capital of more than $3 million.  Due to our losses and  negative  cash
flows from  operating  activities  since  inception and our need for  additional
financing,  our independent  accountants have expressed  substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.                                     

Through our 80%  ownership  interest  in E-SAT,  Inc.,  we are the only  company
currently licensed by the FCC to provide commercial two-way data messaging using
low earth orbiting satellites, VHF frequencies and code division multiple access
technology. This license is internationally recognized through the United States
LEOTELCOM-2 license.                                                            

We intend to utilize the E-SAT license, whose majority ownership and control was
obtained in 2000, to deliver global low-cost resource infrastructure  monitoring
and control  services,  with our first  target  market  comprised  of  automated
electric meter reading and control.  We have estimated the costs associated with
building the six  satellite  global  constellation  to service this market to be
approximately $60 million.                                                      

Financial   difficulties   in  the  satellite   sector  and  sharp  declines  in
telecommunications  and technology sectors have, however,  made it difficult for
us to attract the necessary system construction  financing to complete the E-SAT
system and have made us unable to meet  certain  milestones  required by the FCC
license. (See "Risk Factors-- The E-SAT system has experienced delays that could
lead to the loss of the E-SAT FCC license.").  As a result, in 2001 we developed
a strategy to take  advantage of the  telecommunications  downturn by purchasing
satellite capacity and combining it with the energy communications  technologies
and expertise we have developed over the past ten years. With this strategy,  we
believe that we could more quickly deliver our services to customers and, at the
same time,  demonstrate the market value of low earth orbiting satellite systems
for remote infrastructure services.                                             

We  initiated  our  strategy  in  June  2001  when  we  completed  a  seven-year
operator-to-operator  agreement with Iridium Satellite LLC, the purchaser of the
Iridium  system out of bankruptcy,  gaining low rates on satellite  capacity and
limited  exclusivity through a revenue sharing  arrangement.  We also contracted
with TIAX,  LLC,  formerly  Arthur D. Little,  Inc.'s  Technology and Innovation
business,  a technology  firm with specific  expertise in the Iridium  Satellite
system,  to help us develop a data  network  solution for this  primarily  voice
telecommunications   system.   (See   "Risk   Factors-- Our  key   engineering  
subcontractor  is  emerging  from a  bankruptcy  proceeding  that could harm our
completion of the Iridium based system.")                                       

To date,  we have  not  recognized  any  significant  revenue.  We plan to begin
providing  our data  messaging  services  on a  commercial  basis  during  2002,
utilizing the satellite capacity we contracted from Iridium Satellite.

In June 2001, following the first successful demonstration of turning on and off
a 60-ton shopping mall air conditioner by satellite  before  representatives  of
the California  governor's  office and the media,  we entered into  negotiations
with the  State of  California  to  provide  satellite-based  energy  management
services.  On May 23, 2002, we entered into a Demand Reserves Provider Agreement
with  the  California  Consumer  Power  and  Conservation  Financing  Authority,
commonly  referred  to  as  the  California  Power  Authority,  to  implement  a
satellite-based  automated  conservation system designed to conserve significant
electrical  usage on demand at peak or emergency times.  Under the contract,  we
shall provide a minimum of 200 megawatts and a maximum of 360 megawatts of daily
available demand reduction from qualified end users. This minimum and maximum of
daily available demand  reduction  increases to 400 megawatts and 560 megawatts,
respectively,  effective  June 1, 2003.  We are currently  seeking  financing to
implement  and  complete  the  engineering,  deployment,  and  operation  of the
automated load curtailment  system which is estimated to cost  approximately $15
to $20 million over the next two years.  In  addition,  we are in the process of
signing up customers to participate in the program.  (See "Risk Factors-- We may
be unable to sign up  participants to make load available for our automated load
curtailment  services  and - We may be unable to raise  sufficient  capital  for
implementation of the Iridium-based system".)                                   

To aid us in  implementing  and  deploying  services  for the  California  Power
Authority we have engaged  Bechtel  Corporation  to provide  program  management
services, and TIAX, LLC for engineering services.                               

At the same time we are seeking to implement  services to the  California  Power
Authority,  we plan to continue to pursue  development  of our E-SAT system as a
complementary source of satellite capacity. We believe that our use of Iridium's
L-Band satellite  capacity will be complementary to our ultimate  VHF-Band E-SAT
system.  This is primarily because the E-SAT system operates in the VHF spectrum
that does not require a sky view from the  satellite to the remote  device.  The
Iridium  system  operates in the L-Band  spectrum  and does  require a sky view,
which  prohibits  the  placement  of the devices  inside  buildings  or in other
locations where there is no direct view of the satellite.                       

Both of these systems are  low-earth-orbiting  satellite systems that we believe
offer  significant  advantages over competing  systems and alternative  customer
solutions, including:                                                           

     Global  coverage:  Using a little low earth orbiting  satellite-to-internet
     system,  we will be able to  provide  reliable,  global,  two-way  data and
messaging communications services.                                    

     Security:  By using  both  the  Iridium  system,  which is used by the U.S.
     Department of Defense,  and the planned  E-SAT  system,  we believe that we
     will be capable of providing  security benefits through the  implementation
     of a virtual  private  network  that does not rely on any  public  switched
phone system.                                                         

     Low cost: Unlike terrestrial systems, no incremental communications network
     infrastructure is required for new locations, regardless of how remote they
     are. In  addition,  both the Iridium  System and the planned  E-SAT  system
     require fewer ground stations than other satellite solutions.  In Iridium's
     case, this is because the system supports  inter-satellite  communications;
     in E-SAT's  case,  this is  because  the  system is  store-and-forward,  so
 satellites can store the information until a ground station is reached.

     Low-cost  ground  transceiver:  As  compared  to  geostationary  satellites
     operating at over 22,000 miles from earth,  the Iridium and E-SAT low earth
     orbiting  systems  operate less than 500 miles from earth and therefore can
     utilize smaller and less expensive  transceivers.  In addition, in the case

     of the E-SAT system,  the use of spread  spectrum (Code  Division  Multiple
     Access)  communications  technology and an Application  Specific Integrated
     Circuit technology should allow us to produce smaller and lower-cost ground
transceivers than competing systems.                                  

Our  principal  executive  offices are located at 100 Shoreline  Highway,  Suite
190A, Mill Valley, California, 94941 and our phone number is 415-380-8055.      

Our Strategy                                                                    

To achieve  our  business  objectives,  we have  identified  the  following  key
components to our business strategy:                                            

     Minimizing  risk and entering  into early  commercial  service by obtaining
     communication  capacity on existing satellite platforms.  We believe such a
     strategy  can both reduce the  initial  capital  required  for us to become
     operational,  provide an ability for us to build a customer base and market
     credibility,  and demonstrate the market opportunity to potential investors
     for the purpose of raising  capital to complete  construction  of our E-SAT
system.                                                               

     Providing a reliable,  worldwide, two-way data communications network based
     on existing technologies. We believe that the Iridium system, which is also
     used by the U.S. Department of Defense, is a proven technology. With regard
     to our E-SAT system, we are incorporating  existing and proven technologies
     such as Code  Division  Multiple  Access  communications  technology  and a
store-and-forward design.                                             

     Offering a low-cost  service.  We believe  that low cost is of  fundamental
     importance  to our  potential  clients.  By  obtaining  existing  satellite
     capacity  from a firm that has been  purchased out of  bankruptcy,  we have
     been able to obtain service at a  significantly  lower cost than we believe
     would  otherwise  have been  possible.  With  regard to our  planned  E-SAT
     system,   we  believe  the  relatively  lower  costs  involved  in  design,
     construction,   launch  and   operations,   together  with   lower-powered,
     relatively  inexpensive ground transceivers,  will allow us to provide data
     messaging  services to customers in  hard-to-access  or remote locations at
     substantially  lower rates than  competing  systems.  We have  designed the
     E-SAT system specifically for the two-way  communication of short messages,
     using  fewer  satellites  than  competing  near-real  time low earth  orbit
     systems and less complex and less expensive  components than those required
     for  larger  satellite   systems   designed  to  carry  voice,   video  and
     high-intensity  data traffic.  Competing  little low earth orbiting systems
     using the older Time Division  Multiple  Access  communications  technology
     will require more satellites and more gateway earth stations than the E-SAT
system.                                                               

     Capitalizing on not being the first to market. We have learned a great deal
     from  earlier  commercial  satellite  operators  whose  services  have  not
     developed as they may have anticipated. We believe that this experience has
     confirmed  our focus on  low-cost  solutions  for  clearly  targeted  niche
markets.                                                              

     Capitalizing  on the  barriers to entry for  potential  competitors  to our
     E-SAT  system.  The  primary  barrier  to entry  into the  little low earth
     orbiting  satellite  service market in the United States is the acquisition
     of an operating  license from the FCC. Before the FCC issues any additional
     licenses,  it must allocate an additional portion of the frequency spectrum
for use, which we do not expect to happen in the near future.

     Directly marketing to large industrial customers and governmental entities.
     We believe  that  marketing  directly  to large  industrial  customers  and
     governmental  entities will ensure greater  customer service and support in
     each geographic region or targeted market than will value-added  resellers,
     and will reduce our selling and  administrative  expenses  for bringing the
     E-SAT system to market.  Outside of the United States,  it will also aid us
in securing any necessary local regulatory and other approvals.       

     Capitalizing on the commitment and expertise of our strategic partners.  We
     have  successfully  allied  ourselves  with  companies and investors who we
     believe are highly qualified strategic partners. For our initial service we
     have contracted with Iridium Satellite for satellite services, TIAX LLC for
     engineering,  and Bechtel Corporation for program management. For our E-SAT
     system,  we have strong  relationships  with Eurockot Launch Services,  our
     launch service  provider,  and Surrey  Satellite  Technology  Limited,  our
satellite manufacturer.                                               

Development Milestones - Iridium-based system                                   

     To  develop  currently  marketable  remote  infrastructure  monitoring  and
     control  services using the Iridium system,  we have achieved the following
milestones to date:                                                   

     Executed a seven-year operator-to-operator agreement with Iridium Satellite
     LLC. In June 2001, we executed a seven-year  operator-to-operator agreement
     with  Iridium  Satellite  LLC,  the  purchaser  of the Iridium  system from
     bankruptcy,  gaining  low rates and limited  exclusivity  through a revenue
sharing arrangement.                                                  

     Conducted a system  demonstration in June 2001, by successfully  turning on
     and turning off a 60-ton shopping mall air conditioner by satellite  before
representatives of the California governor's office and the media.    

     Entered into a Demand Reserves Provider Agreement.  In May 2002, we entered
     into a five-year Demand  Reserves  Provider  Agreement with the  California
     Power  Authority to provide a minimum of 200 megawatts and a maximum of 360
     megawatts  of daily  available  electrical  demand  reduction  from  energy
reduction participants.                                               

Development Milestones - E-SAT system                                           

We will not be able to deploy two little low earth  orbiting  satellites,  which
make up a part of E-SAT's planned  six-satellite  system, in compliance with the
milestone dates required under the FCC license.  As a result, on March 29, 2002,
we applied to the FCC for an  extension  of the  milestone  requirements  for an
additional  two years.  The  request  was  accepted by the FCC and there were no
opposing  comments to our request after a 30-day public  notice  period.  We are
awaiting the formal grant of the extension by the FCC. (See "Risk  Factors-- The
E-SAT system has experienced delays that could lead to the loss of the E-SAT FCC
license.")                                                                      

To date, we have achieved the following milestones:                   

          Development of the system. We initially conducted research and testing
          to develop our E-SAT system design and were  successful in integrating
          our  satellite  transmitter  and antenna  completely  within a utility
meter.                                                      

          Completed   proof-of-concept  trials.  We  conducted  proof-of-concept
          demonstrations   with  36   electric   and   natural   gas   utilities
          demonstrating  little low earth  orbiting  satellite  technology  as a

          viable  method to  collect  data  from  hard-to-access  locations.  We
          conducted a proof-of-concept trial for Pacific Gas & Electric Company,
          in which data from several  natural gas wellhead  meters was collected
          and  transmitted  by  little  low  earth  orbiting  satellites  to the
          customer.  This trial was  completed  in April 1995.  Subsequently,  a
          series  of   proof-of-concept   demonstrations   were   conducted   in
          conjunction with ABB Power T&D Company, Inc., in which prototype radio
          terminal  units and  electric  meters  were  installed  at 34 electric
          utilities  in the  continental  United  States  and two  international
          utility   companies  in  South  America  and  Canada.   Typical  trial
          demonstrations lasted for a 30-day period, and the demonstrations were
          completed in late 1997.  These early trials utilized the Argos System,
          a  satellite   location  and  data  collection   system  operated  and
          controlled by the Centre National d'Etudes  Spatiales (France) and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA.   

          Granting of FCC License. On March 31, 1998, E-SAT was issued a license
          by the FCC to provide little low earth orbiting  satellite services in
the United States.                                          

          Signed  contract to construct  the  satellites.  On March 31, 1999, we
          signed a contract  with Surrey  Satellite  Technology  Limited for the
          construction of E-SAT's planned  constellation of six little low earth
          orbiting  satellites.  Should we bring into effect our prime  contract
          with Alcatel Space  Industries  (see below in this  section,  "Entered
          into an agreement  with an end-to-end  prime  contractor for the E-SAT
    system"), our contract with Surrey would be assigned to Alcatel.

          Engaged a launch  service  provider  to deliver  our  satellites  into
          orbit.  On March 31, 1999, we signed a contract  with Eurockot  Launch
        Services GmbH, for two launches, each for a set of three satellites.

          Entered into an agreement with an end-to-end  prime contractor for the
          E-SAT system which, as of July 5, 2002, is no longer in effect but did
          provide us with  certain  assets.  On  October  8,  1999,  we signed a
          contract  with  Alcatel  Space   Industries   for  the  final  design,
          construction  and  delivery to the launch site of six little low earth
          orbiting satellites.  Pursuant to that contract, we paid approximately
          $2 million to Alcatel,  for which Alcatel completed and provided to us
          the  preliminary  engineering  design  review  for the  E-SAT  system,
          including the payload design and designs for the gateway earth station
          and tracking facilities, as well as the satellite orbital analysis and
          communications  link  margins to and from space.  The  agreement  with
          Alcatel  required a payment at the end of 1999 of  approximately  $9.1
          million in cash and the  equivalent  of $5 million of our common stock
          to bring  the  contract  into  effect  in order to  initiate  the full
          development  schedule.  As of July 5,  2002  this  payment,  which was
          originally  due in November  1999, has not been made and therefore the
          agreement with Alcatel is not currently in effect.  (See, "Risks-- The
          contract  with our  prime  contractor  for the E-SAT  system  could be
          declared  void.")  However,   we  did  receive  valuable   engineering
          specifications  and analyses  that we believe are an integral  part of
E-SAT's ability to construct the satellite system.          

          Negotiated equity  investments in us by E-SAT strategic  partners.  We
          negotiated equity  investments  totaling  approximately $10 million by
 Eurockot Launch Services and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.

          Organized our risk management through insurance.  On July 14, 1999, we
          engaged Frank Crystal and Co. and its subsidiary,  International Space
          Brokers,  as our  exclusive  risk  management  advisors and  insurance
brokers for both space and ground segments.

          Successfully   launched  and  commissioned  first  satellite  payload,
          bringing our international  license into service. On June 28, 2000, we
          launched our first  satellite  payload aboard a SNAP-1  nanosatellite,
          and completed the in-orbit commissioning in August and September.  The
          satellite,  which  is not  being  used  for  commercial  service,  has
          succeeded in its purpose of validating  critical  design elements that
          we  believe  will  lead  to the  successful  deployment  of our  E-SAT
          commercial  satellite  services.   Surrey  Satellite  Technology  Ltd.
          completed  the  payload  from  design to  commissioning  in only seven
          months.  On October  20,  2000,  the FCC  informed  the  International
          Telecommunications  Union that this  payload  brought into service the
          LEOTELCOM-2   international   frequency  license,  under  which  E-SAT
operates.                                                   

          Acquired  controlling interest in E-SAT. On July 31, 1999, we signed a
          contract with EchoStar  Communications Corp. to increase our ownership
          interest in E-SAT to 80.1%.  EchoStar  retains  19.1% of the ownership
          interest in E-SAT,  Inc. Under the terms of that  agreement,  EchoStar
          has the right to use 20% of the  communication  capacity  of the E-SAT
          system. The FCC approved the transfer of control to us on November 21,
          2000 and on December 29, 2000,  we executed  documents  for the formal
transfer from EchoStar.                                     

Target Markets - Automated Electricity Load Curtailment                         

Supply and demand imbalances are driving forces in energy markets worldwide. Our
technology seeks to mitigate these imbalances by providing low cost and targeted
automated  load  curtailment  that can  effectively  provide  large  amounts  of
electricity at times of severe  imbalances,  in effect creating strategic energy
conservation   reserves.   Such  reserves  consist  of  non-essential   uses  of
electricity that can be surgically curtailed in the event of local,  regional or
national   energy  crises   without   impacting   health,   safety  or  economic
productivity.  We believe  that our  technology  can  provide a  satellite-based
command and control system that enables us to provide near real-time curtailment
of energy  using  devices,  such as air  conditioners,  at peak  usage and other
emergency times when the shortage of energy could cause blackouts.  This program
incorporates  new  and  highly  secure  metering,   communications  and  control
technologies  that permit  direct,  near real-time and  geographically  targeted
access to significant  amounts of curtailable demand, and direct metering at the
load source. As a result, we endeavor to provide an effective day-in and day-out
energy management tool to reduce energy peaks at a cost significantly below that
of  generating  plants and without  the  significant  environmental,  social and
financial costs of building new generation plants.                              

In  particular,  we  focused  on the events  surrounding  the  energy  crisis in
California  in the  spring  and  summer  of 2001.  We noted  that a  significant
percentage  of all  electrical  consumption  is  attributed  to  commercial  air
conditioning  systems and concluded that, by providing  automated  curtailing of
these  systems  during  critical  time  periods,  we could  offer the  following
potential benefits:                                                             

Prevents blackouts. Through the identification and consolidation of non-critical
and  non-essential  energy use across a state, a massive  voluntary  prospective
reserve of energy can be developed for automated  conservation on command.  This
automated  conservation can be used to protect against rolling blackouts and the
potentially serious health, safety and short and long-term economic consequences
that may result from blackouts.                                                 

Protect  consumers and businesses.  By providing an effective method for gaining
greater control over the regional  energy spot market,  we may be able to reduce
price   pressures.   This  could  reduce  the  potential  for  temporary  energy

bottlenecks  or energy  market  manipulation  by providing an effective  tool to
ratchet  down energy use during  spikes  and,  therefore,  preventing  excessive
energy  pricing.  This could save retail  customers,  businesses  and government
significant amounts from their power bills.                                     

Conserve energy and protect the environment. Using automated energy conservation
at  peak  loads  avoids  the  significant  environmental  cost of  building  and
operating peak generation and transmission facilities.                          

Enhance grid infrastructure security. In the event of inadvertent or intentional
damage to a portion of the  electricity  grid,  the  ability to execute  command
conservation  could be used to prevent a dramatic  and  cascading  impact on the
regional grid, as illustrated by the Northeast blackout of 1977.                

On May 23, 2002, we entered into a Demand Reserves  Provider  Agreement with the
California Power Authority.  Under the agreement,  beginning October 1, 2002, we
shall provide a minimum of 200 megawatts and a maximum of 360 megawatts of daily
available electrical demand reduction from qualified end users. This minimum and
maximum of daily available demand  reduction  increases to 400 megawatts and 560
megawatts, respectively, effective June 1, 2003.                                

Through our proposed  services,  the California  Power Authority will be able to
immediately reduce  non-critical  power consumption at locations  throughout the
state in order to create energy  reserves to smooth out energy usage during peak
use and emergency times. It is anticipated that qualified end users will consist
of  primarily  large  private  commercial  energy users such as owners of retail
stores and shopping centers.                                                    

For our services,  the  California  Power  Authority  will pay us  approximately
$51,000 per year per megawatt for  "non-spinning  reserves".  A portion of these
fees will be remitted to the qualified end users as an incentive to  participate
in the demand reserves program.                                                 

The agreement with the California Power Authority will terminate in May 2007. In
addition,  the  agreement  may be  terminated  earlier if we fail to provide the
California  Power Authority with the daily minimum  megawatt of demand reduction
by  October  1,  2002,  the  California  Power  Authority  fails to enter into a
Participating Load Agreement with the California  Independent System Operator by
October 1, 2002 or such  Participating  Load Agreement is terminated  during the
term of our Demand Reserves Provider Agreement, or we fail to make available for
reduction a specified  level of energy usage for two  consecutive  months during
the summer.                                                                     

We expect the capital and operating  costs for the full deployment of the system
to cost  approximately $15 to $20 million over the next two years. We are in the
process of signing up qualified end users to participate in the program.        

Other Target Markets                                                            

We believe other  significant  markets for the  technology we are developing for
our Iridium-based system include:                                               

Natural  Resource/Energy  Infrastructure  Command  and  Control.  In the  United
States,  an aging and substantially  under-invested  energy and natural resource
infrastructure,  often located in remote areas,  is  increasingly  bottlenecking
efficient resource allocation. Globally there is growing demand for solutions to
critical   natural   resource,   energy  and  water  scarcity  and  distribution
inefficiencies.   These  trends  increase  the  importance  of  and  demand  for

technologies that can provide remote real-time  monitoring and control to remote
natural  resource  infrastructure.  We believe that our  technology  can provide
unique  solutions in this market by providing the ability to remote  command and
control  remote  infrastructure.  Our  technology is designed to provide  direct
remote  monitoring  and  control  of  switches,   transmission  lines,   meters,
pipelines,  hydraulic  controls  and related  equipment to monitor  usage,  send
alerts  and  remotely  control  other  devices  in order to  prevent  or isolate
problems and reroute resources.                                                 

Infrastructure Security Command and Control. Recent events have focused national
security concerns on the vulnerabilities of the United States  infrastructure to
terrorism,  serious vandalism, and natural disaster. Utilizing the potential for
secure  communication  of our system,  we believe we are  capable of  addressing
certain  critical  security  concerns  related to United  States  infrastructure
protection.  Much of the energy  infrastructure  is intentionally  located in or
routed through remote and isolated areas for security reasons.  For example, our
nation's   vulnerable   and   decentralized   energy   infrastructure   includes
approximately:                                                                  

*       670,000 miles of electric power transmission lines                      
*       200,000 miles of petroleum pipeline                                     
*       180,000 miles of natural gas pipeline                                   
*       70,000 miles of propane pipeline                                        
*       38 major oil refineries                                                 
*       10 unconnected independently managed electrical grids                   
*       6 federal and hundreds of commercial fuel energy reserve depots         
*       390 hydroelectric dams                                                  
*       100+ nuclear power-generating plants                                    

We believe that our system will be able to provide a comprehensive,  centralized
monitoring  and command  network  for these  disparate  systems to,  among other
things:  (1) monitor,  activate early warning,  and provide a national real-time
view  to  detect   emergency   incidents  and  patterns   across  the  range  of
infrastructure,  from energy to water to ships at sea; and (2) enable  strategic
intervention   to  contain   the  impact  or  spread  of  local   infrastructure
emergencies.                                                                    

Target Markets - E-SAT system and Automated Meter Reading                       

We plan to continue to pursue development of our E-SAT system as a complementary
source of satellite  capacity.  We have designed the E-SAT system to provide low
cost,  two-way data messaging  services to industrial  customers  throughout the
world who need regular, but not real-time,  information. We believe that our use
of E-SAT's VHF-Band system will be complementary to our Iridium L-Band satellite
capacity.  This is  primarily  because  the  E-SAT  system  operates  in the VHF
spectrum  that  does not  require a sky view from the  satellite  to the  remote
device  enabling E-SAT  transceivers  to be placed inside  buildings or in other
locations  where  there is no direct  view of the  satellite.  In  addition,  we
believe that the E-SAT  transceivers  can be produced at a  significantly  lower
cost than Iridium transceivers.                                                 

By  focusing  on  the  non-real-time  market,  where  some  delay  between  data
collection  and  transmission  to  the  customer  has   insignificant   business
consequence,  the E-SAT system can be developed at relatively low costs compared
to other global  communications  networks,  and therefore  serve markets such as
automated  meter  reading,  where we believe  reduced costs will be an important
consideration.   By   focusing  on   collecting   data  that  is  in  remote  or

hard-to-access   locations,   we  reduce  our   competition   from   terrestrial
technologies,  such  as  cellular  communications,   which  cannot  justify  the
infrastructure  expense  in each  remote  location,  and we  increase  the value
offered to the customer as a result of their higher costs in those areas.       

Our initial focus for the E-SAT system is on energy meters in remote  locations.
One of our target markets is the United States  electric and natural gas utility
industries,   particularly  their   high-cost-to-read   metering  segment  which
historically required such "meter reading" to be conducted by utility personnel.
This labor intensive  activity  presents  logistical  issues such as significant
travel time to a meter site,  rugged terrain,  physical risk,  restricted sites,
environmental  issues,  and mis-reads  requiring  additional site visits, all of
which can contribute to higher costs for utilities.                             

Our proposed  messaging services are designed to provide a reduction in the cost
to gather data from  hard-to-access  meters.  We expect to charge  significantly
less than the costs utility  companies  normally  incur in sending meter reading
personnel  out to each of those  difficult  to reach  locations.  This  provides
several advantages including:                                                   

     *    Planning  and  decision-making  is improved  through  greater and more
       timely availability of their consumers' energy-related information.

*    Estimated billing is eliminated.                                 

     *    Service  connects  and  disconnects  can be  scheduled  and  performed
automatically.                                              

     *    Value added features are available such as meter  diagnostics,  tamper
detection, outage reporting, and power quality information. 

     *    Two-way  communication  capabilities can substantially reduce customer
          costs while  enabling new  customer  applications  such as  initiating
      remote diagnostics and remote turn-on/turn-off of electric meters.

In the United  States,  the emergence of automatic  meter reading as an accepted
technology and the  deregulation of the utility  industry in a number of states,
which has forced  utility  companies to focus on all aspects of their costs and,
in some cases, to compete to retain the meter reading  activity,  has provided a
foundation for us to market our services.                                       

There is also a significant  potential market for our services in countries that
do not broadly monitor energy consumption. For those countries,  implementing or
expanding coverage of metering is of significant  strategic and economic benefit
both as a source of revenue and as a critical  component of  implementing  their
energy  infrastructure.  By working with these  countries as they develop  their
services and providing them with a low-cost  alternative  to  traditional  meter
reading methods, we believe we can succeed in becoming an integral part of their
utility infrastructure.                                                         

Technology: Iridium-based System                                                

The Iridium system is comprised of three  principal  components:  the little low
earth orbiting satellite network, the ground network and the user terminal unit.

This  system,  developed  together  with  Arthur D.  Little,  Inc.,  utilizes  a
proprietary master control system and remote controller connected to the Iridium
Satellite  System to  remotely  monitor and control  roof-top  air  conditioning
systems or other types of electricity-using devices.                            

As  of  December  31,  2001,  the  Iridium   satellite  network  consists  of  a
constellation of 73 satellites (66 are operational plus 7 on-orbit spares) and a
ground  support  network.  The  satellites are grouped into eleven polar planes,
each  having  six  satellites  functioning  as  switching  nodes in the  Iridium
telephony  network.  Each satellite weighs  approximately  680 kg and travels in
near-polar  orbits at an  altitude  of 485 miles (780 km) above the earth.  Each
satellite is cross-linked to four other  satellites;  two satellites in the same
orbital plane and two in an adjacent plane.  This  constellation  is designed to
ensure that every  region on the globe is covered by at least one  satellite  at
all times. The Iridium network operates in the L, K and Ka frequency bands.     

Planned aspects of our technology include:                                      

     o    Universal  control of virtually any significant  energy using device -
remote operation shut-down                                  
o    Independent control of multiple AC units or other loads          
o    Security                                                         
o    Automatic site identification when connection is initiated       
     o    Remote  status  monitoring  of the energy  using device and the remote
controller                                                  
o    Battery backup for several days without commercial power         

     o    Weather-proof  remote control unit is designed for simple installation
and trouble-free operation                                  

Technology: The E-SAT system                                                    

The E-SAT system is designed to minimize infrastructure  investment and maximize
efficiency  by  utilizing  a small  constellation  of little low earth  orbiting
satellites  with  the  ability  to  reach  markets  not  readily  accessible  by
terrestrial  technologies.  We expect that the  aggregate  cost to construct and
launch the E-SAT  system  into  commercial  service  will be  approximately  $60
million,  in addition to the  approximately  $12.2  million which has been spent
through December 31, 2001.                                                      

The E-SAT system's  radio  terminal  units will attach to a customer's  meter or
other device and transmit data to the  satellites  using Code Division  Multiple
Access technology.  From these little low earth orbiting satellites, the data is
transmitted to ground stations, which sort the data and transmit the information
to our customers via the Internet. The two-way service also allows our customers
to send  instructions,  messages,  and updates to their  remote  meters or other
devices.                                                                        

Space Segment                                                 

The  constellation  to be launched  will consist of six  satellites.  We plan to
initially launch three satellites on a single launch vehicle in a circular, near
polar  orbit  at  an  altitude  of  approximately  550  miles  and  a 99  degree
inclination  angle.  At this altitude,  there will be fourteen  revolutions  per
satellite per day,  taking about 100 minutes per orbit.  After the initial three
satellites are deployed and become  operational,  and the system is established,
an additional three satellites will be deployed in a second  near-polar  orbital
plane within FCC guidelines.  These little low earth orbiting satellites,  which
will weigh about 110 kg each, will be almost constantly  illuminated by the sun,
thereby significantly reducing battery usage. Supplemental battery power will be
required only for power load  leveling,  occasional  brief  eclipse  periods and
contingencies. Based on the current design, we estimate that each satellite will
operate for a period of five years.

The  satellites  will consist of two functional  segments,  the platform and the
payload.  Put simply,  the platform is the structure part of the satellite.  The
payload is the radio  frequency  equipment on board the satellite that allows it
to communicate with earth-based transceivers.  The platform provides the payload
with power and thermal control,  allowing it to operate and perform the mission.
The platform  provides the altitude control in order to keep the payload antenna
pointing towards the earth. Orbit  determination and control is performed by the
platform in order to maintain the proper constellation configuration.           

The FCC license  will allow us to operate  from earth to the  satellites  in the
148.0000 - 148.905 MHz band and from the satellites to the earth in the 137.0725
to 137.9275 MHz band. The communications plan for our system will utilize direct
sequence spread spectrum  multiple access  transmission for service links,  from
meter to satellite,  and feeder links,  from ground  station to satellite.  This
modulation  technique  is designed to allow the  communications  to  distinguish
between messages and the background noise emanating into space.                 

Due to the continuing  growth of electrical and  electronic  equipment,  such as
personal paging systems that incorporate wireless communication technology,  the
radio frequency spectrum has become crowded or "noisy." Commercial  applications
demand reliable  communication systems. This objective is harder to achieve with
conventional  solutions because of numerous wireless systems creating more noise
in the frequency bands of operation.  Code Division  Multiple Access is designed
to enable our system to provide high  functionality  in a noisy radio  frequency
environment and achieve those particular data transmission objectives.          

With most conventional modulation techniques,  energy concentration is maximized
for a narrowband  transmission  channel.  While  narrowband  solutions opt for a
single  carrier  channel,  the  transmitted  signal must be strong  enough to be
recognized  over the  background  noise.  Therefore,  terminals  operating  in a
narrowband  technique must have relatively high power capability.  Code Division
Multiple  Access  spreads the data  signal  over the entire  band of  operations
reducing the power  required by a terminal unit to transmit data to a satellite.
Through E-SAT,  we are presently the only  commercial  little low earth orbiting
system  operator  licensed  in the  United  States to  implement  Code  Division
Multiple Access in its communications protocol.                                 

Ground Segment                                                  

Rather than using  traditional  technology  that  transmits the data to a ground
station  as soon as it is  received,  the  non-real-time  nature of our  markets
allows us to use a  store-and-forward  design.  Our  satellites  are designed to
receive the  information  from  terminals on the ground,  store it in memory and
hold all of the data until they pass over a ground  station.  This  allows us to
use fewer ground  stations,  reducing  costs and radio  frequency  licensing and
coordination  requirements.  We  currently  intend to locate our initial  ground
station on Svalbard Island in Spitzbergen,  Norway,  and are evaluating  certain
sites in other countries for additional service.                                

The mission  control center will manage the collection and retrieval of data. It
will  interface  with  ground  stations  and a  satellite  control  center.  The
satellite  control  center will  communicate  directly with and provide  overall
operational control of the satellites.  The mission center location is currently
in review and the satellite control center is currently planned to be located in
the United Kingdom.                                                             

Secure  Internet  communication  with  customers  is a crucial part of the E-SAT
system.  Data  collected  or  delivered  will  utilize the Internet as a global,

cost-effective  vehicle to disseminate data and maximally  automate the customer
servicing   system.   Data  will  lack   meaningful   descriptors   or  customer
identification  and so should  have no meaning if  intercepted,  but may also be
encrypted.                                                                      

Terminals                                                     

The system is also  comprised  of remote  terminal  units that will connect to a
device  such as an  electric  utility  meter and allow  that  device to send and
receive  signals  to  and  from  the  system.  The  terminal  will  provide  the
communication link between the meter and our satellites.  A relatively  low-cost
terminal is a key success factor for this business plan and, for that reason, we
intend to strictly control the development and manufacturing of the terminals.  

The complete  terminal  unit will consist of two parts,  the core engine and the
fixed  asset  interface  module.  The core engine  will  include a  programmable
controller  unit and  will  incorporate  the  cost-saving  benefits  of the ASIC
technology. This will allow us to manufacture the terminals at a lower cost. The
fixed asset  interface  module will be optimized  for the specific  application,
such as an electric meter, vending machine or propane tank, and will contain all
the  application  specific  functions  required to interface the device with the
core engine.  The interface will also contain any necessary  power  conditioning
components  to  allow  reliable  communication  between  the  terminal  and  the
satellites.                                                                     

During 1998, we worked with SAIT Radio Holland SA to perform studies on antennas
for the  proposed  terminal  units  and to  develop  and  test  prototypes.  The
development  of terminal  units was also included as an item under our agreement
with Alcatel.  (See "Development  Milestones--Entered  into an agreement with an
end-to-end prime contractor for the E-SAT system".) We have not yet identified a
main  subcontractor  for the engineering,  development and provision of hardware
and software for terminal units, or for the manufacture of terminals.           

Regulatory Environment                                                          

United States                                                 

All commercial non-voice,  non-geostationary  mobile-satellite services, such as
little low earth  orbiting  satellites,  in the United States are subject to the
regulatory authority of the FCC. Little low earth orbiting operators must obtain
authorization from the FCC to launch and operate their satellites and to provide
permitted services in assigned spectrum segments.                               

In  November  1994,  E-SAT  filed an  application  with the FCC for a license to
develop  a  commercial  little  low earth  orbiting  satellite  system  for data
collection  and  transmission.  E-SAT  was  one of  five  applicants  requesting
approval for  essentially the same frequency band but proposing a different use.
The five applicants  mutually agreed upon a spectrum sharing plan which requires
the  applicants  to share an uplink  and  downlink  frequency  band  with  other
satellite  systems.  In October 1997,  the FCC released a report and order which
concluded that with use of appropriate  transmission  techniques,  proper system
coordination,  the  time-sharing of frequencies and the adoption of the spectrum
sharing  plan,  there was  sufficient  spectrum to license all five  applicants.
Thereafter,   E-SAT  filed  an  amendment  conforming  its  application  to  the
guidelines adopted by the FCC report and order.                                 

On March 31, 1998, the FCC approved  E-SAT's  application for a little low earth
orbiting satellite license. Under the license, E-SAT is authorized to launch and
operate six little low earth orbiting satellites to provide a two-way,  low-cost

messaging service in the United States in the 148 to 148.905 MHz for service and
feeder uplinks,  and the 137.0725 to 137.9725 MHz frequency band for service and
feeder  downlinks.  For its  uplink,  E-SAT is  licensed  to utilize  500 kHz of
contiguous  spectrum  in the 148 to 148.855 MHz band that is not shared with the
other  United  States  licensees.  Some of this  spectrum  may be required to be
operated  co-frequency with the French S-80 system, based on  inter-governmental
agreements  between the United States and France. In December 1998, we completed
our  coordination  with France on this shared use.  E-SAT is licensed to utilize
148.855 to 148.905 MHz for feeder  uplinks.  E-SAT will operate in the other 355
kHz of the 148 to 148.905  MHz band on a  co-frequency  basis  with three  other
companies,  Leo One USA Corporation,  Final Analysis  Communication Services and
Orbcomm Corp. In the downlink direction, E-SAT will operate in the band 137.0725
to 137.9275 MHz co-frequency  with NOAA satellites,  Orbcomm and Final Analysis.
E-SAT is  obligated  to  coordinate  with the other  little  low earth  orbiting
licensees and NOAA,  coordinate  internationally  and engage in consultations as
required by Article 14 of the INTELSAT  Agreement  and Article 8 of the Inmarsat
Convention.                                                                     

In order to maintain the  validity of the FCC license,  E-SAT must comply at all
times with the terms of the FCC license,  unless specifically waived or modified
by  the  FCC.  The  terms  include,  among  other  things,  system  construction
milestones.  In  order to  comply  with the  milestone  requirements  of the FCC
license, E-SAT was required to commence construction of the first two satellites
by March 1999 and the  remaining  four  satellites  by March 2001.  On March 31,
1999, we, on E-SAT's behalf, entered into an agreement with Surrey Satellite for
the  construction of the little low earth orbiting  satellites,  and we notified
the FCC on April 8, 1999,  that we had met the first  milestone  of the license,
commencement  of  satellite  construction  by March  1999.  The FCC has  neither
confirmed nor denied our assertion. We have not met the next milestone, which is
the completion of  construction of the first two satellites by March 2002 and it
will be  extremely  difficult  if not  impossible  for us to meet the  following
milestone, which is to launch those two satellites by September 2002. Because of
this, on March 29, 2002,  E-SAT filed the request for an extension of milestones
with the FCC and is awaiting a reply. (See "Risk  Factors--The  E-SAT system has
experienced delays that could lead to the loss of the E-SAT FCC license".)      

The  terms  of the FCC  license  also  require  that  construction,  launch  and
operation of the E-SAT system be  accomplished  in accordance with the technical
specifications  set forth in the FCC  application  and consistent with the FCC's
rules, unless specifically waived.  During the process of constructing the E-SAT
system,  there may be certain  modifications  to the design set forth in the FCC
application that may necessitate regulatory approval.                           

Assuming  continued  compliance,  the FCC license will remain  effective for ten
years from the date on which we certify to the FCC that the  initial  satellites
have  been  successfully  placed  into  orbit  and  that the  operations  of the
satellites conform to the terms and conditions of the FCC license.              

In  addition,  the FCC must approve the  integration  of E-SAT  system's  ground
transceivers  with the fixed devices.  If received,  the approval would apply to
all transceivers to be operated in the United States.                           

International Regulations                                     

Landing Rights. In addition to the FCC license for operation of the E-SAT system
in the United States,  we will be required to seek certain  "landing  rights" in
each  country in which our ground  transceivers  will be  located.  We intend to
utilize international clients,  partners or affiliates in each country we intend
to operate in to obtain  such  authority.  In the event we are  unsuccessful  in
obtaining a foreign  license in a particular  country,  we will be able to offer
only one-way,  broadcasting from the satellite,  data and messaging  services in

that country.                                                                   

International  Telecommunications  Union  Coordination.  The E-SAT  system  will
operate in frequencies  that are allocated on an  international  basis under the
authority of the International  Telecommunications  Union. The United States, on
behalf  of  various  little  low  earth  orbiting  service  providers,   pursued
international  allocations of additional frequencies for use by little low earth
orbiting  systems.  In addition to  cooperation  through the FCC,  E-SAT will be
required to engage in international coordination with respect to other satellite
systems, and in some cases, with terrestrial  communication systems. The purpose
of  this  coordination  is to  ensure,  to the  maximum  extent  feasible,  that
communication  systems  will be  able  to  operate  without  unacceptable  radio
frequency  interference from other communication  systems. This process,  called
"satellite  coordination,"  takes place under the auspices of the  International
Telecommunications  Union and is essentially a first come, first served process.
That is, earlier  filings  generally  establish some priority over later filings
although the  International  Telecommunications  Union encourages  applicants to
cooperate to enable as many satellite systems as possible to be implemented.    

Ownership Interest in E-SAT                                                     

E-SAT was incorporated in 1994 in partnership with EchoStar.  In connection with
the formation  agreement,  we hold 80.1% of the outstanding  shares of E-SAT and
EchoStar  holds  the  remaining  19.9%.  E-SAT was  formed  for the  purpose  of
acquiring  an FCC license to develop,  construct  and operate a little low earth
orbiting satellite system. In March 1998 the FCC issued the license to E-SAT. In
July 1999,  we entered  into an agreement  to acquire an  additional  60.1% from
EchoStar,  to bring our total  ownership of E-SAT to 80.1%.  The  agreement  and
transfer  of control of E-SAT is subject  to FCC  approval,  which was  formally
requested  on May 2, 2000 and  approved by the FCC on  November  21,  2000.  The
transfer  agreements  were executed in December 2000. The terms of the agreement
granted EchoStar a 20% undivided interest in the satellite transmission capacity
associated with the FCC E-SAT license.                                          

Competition                                                                     

Load Curtailment Competition                                                    

Our  automated  conservation   capability  falls  in  the  general  category  of
electricity peak load curtailment  services.  For decades,  when utilities had a
problem meeting their peak demand, they called (usually by phone) customers with
large concentrated loads to obtain voluntary reductions. These customers include
industrial  corporations,  government,  and large institutions such as hospitals
and  universities.   Such  reductions  were  generally   voluntary  but  unpaid.
"Interruptible"  electric  rates emerged in the 1970s.  Customers  would pay low
power rates most of the time,  but promised to cut back load by a defined amount
when called or face a significant penalty.                                      

In the 1980s and early  1990s,  some  utilities  offered  residential  and small
commercial  customers lower electric rates in exchange for installing  automated
demand control devices on electric hot water heaters and air  conditioners.  The
demand control devices would respond to radio signals from the utility.  Many of
those  programs,  however,  were either cut back or not pursued  sufficiently to
make much of a difference. Since there was no easy way to verify which customers
had disabled the devices,  questions were also raised  regarding their sustained
impact.                                                                         

During the late 1990's a combination  of rapid load growth caused by a sustained
economic boom, a failure to build new power plants, and difficulties with retail
deregulation  contributed to reductions in utility spare capacity and increasing

requirements  for effective  curtailment  solutions.  Curtailable  load programs
often featured the following types of requirements:                             

o    Minimum load reduction of 100 kW per customer                    
     o    Reduction  must be available  between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. on any day of
the week                                                    
o    Notification is usually at least 4 hours prior to curtailment    
o    Reduction commitment must be met within 1 hour of curtailment    
     o    Customer must be able to receive and act upon the form of notification
(e.g., beeper, radio signal)                                
     o    Customer must have installed meters able to record  integrated  hourly
values for actual net generation                            

In these  programs,  meters  measure  and report  load both before and after the
reduction request. Samples of several such tariffs may be found at the web sites
of a few utilities and some of the Independent System Operators.                

Load curtailment differs from demand-side management (often referred to as DSM),
which typically focuses on permanent or continuous  demand reduction,  unrelated
to market-based pricing.                                                        

Many firms  offer a wide  variety  of energy  solutions  for energy  efficiency,
demand-side-management  and load curtailment,  including Apogee (also called The
Demand Exchange), Ancillary Services Coalition,  Infotility,  Planergy, Comverge
Technologies, Retx.com, New West Energy, AES New Energy, Skytel, Silicon Energy,
Circadian  Information Systems, and Energy Interactive.  In addition,  utilities
themselves may compete with these firms for direct relationships with sources of
load to be curtailed.  While the energy  monitoring  and control  marketplace is
highly  populated  with  competitors,  we believe  that these  competitors  rely
dominantly on fixed or wireless mobile terrestrial  communications  technologies
to implement  their  businesses.  We believe that the use of  low-earth-orbiting
satellites  will provide  improved  access to customers over large  geographical
regions with improved  coordination  and targeting of loads,  and  significantly
enhanced security than our competitors.                                         

For discussion of potential  satellite  competitors,  see  "Competition  for our
E-SAT system," below.                                                           

Competition for our E-SAT system                                                

Competition  in the  communications  industry  is  intense,  fueled by rapid and
continuous  technological  advances and alliances between industry  participants
seeking  competitive  advantages on an  international  scale to capture  greater
share of existing and emerging markets.                                         

In addition to E-SAT, three other commercial  entities have been licensed by the
FCC to provide little low earth orbiting satellite services in the United States
although no other entity has been issued a license to use Code Division Multiple
Access communication protocols: Orbcomm Global, Leo One, and Final Analysis. The
FCC also  granted a license in 1998 to  Volunteers  in Technical  Assistance  to
transmit  health,  research  and  scientific  data on a  delayed  basis  between
developing countries and the United States.                                     

Of the three commercial entities, only Orbcomm is currently in service.  Orbcomm
failed to generate revenue sufficient to cover its debt and was purchased out of
bankruptcy  protection  in 2001.  Over $800 million has been invested to date in
the Orbcomm  service,  which was initiated in 1996 and consists of approximately
thirty  satellites,  5 gateway control  centers,  and 10 gateway Earth stations.

Orbcomm  aimed at serving on a  near-real-time  basis the broad data  markets of
mobile  asset  tracking of trailers,  containers,  rail cars,  heavy  equipment,
autos,  fishing  vessels  and barges and U.S.  government  assets;  fixed  asset
monitoring of oil and gas tanks,  pipelines,  chemical tanks,  electric  utility
meters,  and  environmental  projects;  two-way  commercial and U.S.  government
messaging; home and commercial security systems; and personal messaging. Orbcomm
uses Time Division Multiple Access narrow band communication protocols.         

Other than Orbcomm's  existing Time Division Multiple Access based system, we do
not believe that any of the other  proposed  little low earth  orbiting  systems
will be  commercially  operational  in the near term. We believe that we hold an
advantage over these potential competitors by having obtained an FCC license for
the only Code Division Multiple Access based store-and-forward  little low earth
orbiting  system in the United  States;  by  focusing  on a low-cost  and highly
targeted market; and by achieving  international  coordination of our designated
frequencies through the International  Telecommunications Union. Over the course
of the next several  years,  we expect to obtain further  advantages  over these
potential  competitors by  demonstrating  that a Code Division  Multiple  Access
store-and-forward  system can offer  service at lower cost than those offered by
the  competition.  Plans for little low earth  orbiting  systems  have also been
announced in Australia,  Brazil,  France, Russia, South Korea, Tonga and Uganda,
although we believe  that,  without  additional  allocations  of spectrum in the
United  States,  these  systems  will be unable to offer  services in the United
States, and they will have to reach  coordination  agreements with all countries
who have  prior  International  Telecommunications  Union  filings  for the same
spectrum, namely the spectrum license filed by the FCC which it awarded to us.  

We expect that  potential  competitors  will  include  other low earth  orbiting
systems and certain  geosynchronous or geostationary orbit, or GEO-based systems
and terrestrial-based communications systems.                                   

We believe  further that we will compete in certain of our market  segments with
existing  operators  and users of certain  GEO-based  systems  such as  American
Mobile and Qualcomm, and companies providing services using the Inmarsat system.
American  Mobile  offers  data  services,  both  satellite  only and  dual-mode,
satellite  and  terrestrial,  through a public data  network that can reach both
densely  populated  urban areas and sparsely  populated  rural  areas.  In 1998,
American Mobile acquired  Motorola's  ARDIS two-way  terrestrial-based  wireless
messaging network, which complements American Mobile's existing  satellite-based
voice and data communications  services.  This allows American Mobile to offer a
hybrid solution that has the ability,  among other things,  to serve urban areas
and to penetrate  buildings.  Qualcomm  designs,  manufactures,  distributes and
operates a  satellite-based,  two-way mobile  communications and tracking system
that   provides   messaging,   position   reporting   and  other   services  for
transportation  companies  and other mobile and fixed site  customers  using GEO
satellites.  In  addition,  various  companies  using the  Inmarsat  system  are
providing fishing vessel and other marine tracking applications. We believe that
the  E-SAT  system  will have  certain  advantages  over  these  other  systems,
including worldwide coverage and lower equipment costs.                         

The Big Low earth orbiting and Medium Earth Orbiting systems  mentioned  earlier
are  expected to provide real time,  uninterrupted  service.  These  systems are
designed  primarily to provide two-way voice services that require larger,  more
complex  satellites  than our  satellites and larger  constellations  to provide
coverage.  As a result,  the cost of the Big Low earth orbiting and Medium Earth
Orbiting  systems  is  significantly  greater  than  those of the E-SAT  system.
However,  the marginal cost on a per-message basis of providing services similar
to those we will offer could be relatively  low for a big low earth  orbiting or
Medium  Earth  Orbiting  system  that is unable to sell its  capacity  for voice
services.  For example,  the satellite  system  operated by Globalstar,  L.P. is

expected to utilize a multi-billion  dollar  constellation of 48  satellites--as
compared with DBS  Industries'  planned system of 6 satellites  with an expected
construction,  marketing and operating cost of approximately  $110 million--with
those  system  costs then having to be  allocated  into each  company's  pricing
structure and strategy.                                                         

We  also  face  competition  from  a wide  range  of  terrestrial  technologies,
including paging, cellular, and power line carrier systems. Generally, our focus
is not to compete  with  existing and planned  terrestrial-based  communications
systems.  However,  in  particular  segments  of our  market,  we believe we may
encounter  certain of these systems.  While  providing  cost-effective  services
primarily in metropolitan areas where subscriber  densities justify construction
of radio towers,  terrestrial  systems generally do not have sufficient coverage
outside   metropolitan   areas,   which  makes  them  less   attractive  to  the
hard-to-access  and remote  location  markets  that we  initially  targeted.  In
addition, we believe that the E-SAT system will present an attractive complement
to tower-based services because E-SAT can provide geographic  gap-filler service
at affordable costs without the need for additional  infrastructure  investment.
Because  of  the   inherent   coverage   limitations   of  a   terrestrial-based
communications  system,  we believe that the E-SAT system will  complement  such
systems.                                                                        

SkyTel,  for example,  provides paging messaging  services in U.S. cities and is
using its messaging  network to provide fixed  location  services,  specifically
utility meter reading in urban areas. Hunt Technologies and Distribution Control
Systems which provide power line carriers  solutions  using very low frequencies
to transmit  messages over power  distribution  lines,  typically  transmit data
one-way and very  slowly.  Phone line  carriers,  which use a  dedicated  common
carrier   telephone   service,   are  constrained  by  industry   infrastructure
transaction volume and addressability  limitations.  Cellemetry,  which operates
within the control channel of common carrier cellular frequencies,  and Cellular
Digital  Packet Data,  which uses common  carrier  cellular  frequencies to send
messages  in high  speed  bursts  during  the idle  time in voice  transmission,
require  local  infrastructures  to operate.  The triple  shortcomings  of these
systems - namely (1) lack of instantaneous,  cross-continental  data collection,
(2) "black  holes" and lack of  ubiquitous  coverage,  and (3) high  incremental
infrastructure and per message costs outside  concentrated  population centers -
are all competitive advantages for the E-SAT system.                            

Employees                                                                       

As of December  31,  2001,  we had six  full-time  employees.  We  consider  our
relationship with our employees to be good.

RISK FACTORS    

An investment in shares of our Common Stock is very risky.  You should carefully
consider  the risks  described  below in addition to other  information  in this
filing.  Our  business,  operating  results  and  financial  condition  could be
seriously  harmed due to any of the  following  risks.  The trading price of the
shares of our Common  Stock  could  decline due to any of these  risks,  and you
could lose all or part of your investment.                                      

We are a development stage company and have not earned any significant revenues.

Although we  previously  recorded  gains from the sale of  interests in entities
which  own  direct  broadcast  satellites  licenses,  we  have  not  earned  any
significant  revenues since our formation.  Given our limited  operating history
and lack of revenues, we cannot assure you that we will be able to construct and
implement  the E-SAT  system or  implement  and  develop  a  sufficiently  large
customer base to make our usage of the Iridium system profitable.               

We may be  unable  to  sign  up  participants  to make  load  available  for our
automated load curtailment services.                                            

Under  our  Demand  Reserves  Provider   Agreement  with  the  California  Power
Authority,  beginning  October 1, 2002,  we are required to provide a minimum of
200  megawatts  and a maximum of 360  megawatts  of daily  available  electrical
demand  reduction.  This minimum and maximum of daily available demand reduction
increases to 400 megawatts and 560  megawatts,  respectively,  effective June 1,
2003.  In the event we are unable to attract and sign up a sufficient  number of
participants who will voluntarily allow  electricity  usage to be curtailed,  we
may lose our contract with the California Power Authority.                      

We are dependent on the Iridium system and the design, construction, and testing
of our Iridium-based system has numerous risks.                                 

Our automated load curtailment system is a new application of the Iridium system
and a new approach to electricity load curtailment. The remote curtailment units
are new and will be subject to outside rooftop conditions  including heat, cold,
and  inclement  weather,  for which the failure  rate of these  units  cannot be
assured.  In addition,  in using the Iridium  system for data  transfer,  we are
using it in a manner different from voice telephony,  which was the intention of
the original  design.  Further,  the Iridium  system may  encounter  significant
problems  or  the  software   controlling  the  exchange  of  data  and  control
instructions  may fail and, like any satellite  based  technology,  we are faced
with the potential for  satellite  failure based on a variety of  uncontrollable
factors.  In addition,  we may encounter  unexpected  delays and expenses due to
technical  problems we have not  foreseen.  Should the system fail or  encounter
significant  deficiencies,  our  business  and future  success will be adversely
affected.                                                                       

We  may  be  unable  to  raise  sufficient  capital  for  implementation  of the
Iridium-based system.                                                           

We  currently  estimate  for the  first  two  years  that we may  require  up to
approximately   $15  to  $20  million  to  complete  the   engineering   of  the
Iridium-based  system and to deploy and  operate  the  proposed  automated  load
curtailment  system  for the  California  Power  Authority.  Given the risks and

uncertainties  in this  undertaking,  we  cannot  assure  you that  actual  cash
requirements  will not exceed  our  estimates.  Further,  the  current  state of
capital markets is uncertain,  specifically for telecommunications companies and
companies that rely on energy contracts contracted with the State of California.
As a  result,  we  cannot  assure  you that we will be able to raise  the  funds
required to complete the development and installation of the system, or that the
timing and terms of any such financing will be favorable to us. If we are unable
to obtain a sufficient  amount of financing  necessary to complete the system on
commercially  acceptable terms, our business and future success will be severely
and adversely affected.  Unless and until we begin to generate revenues, we will
continue to generate  further  operating  losses and negative net cash flow both
for engineering the system and for our daily operations.                        

Future  financings  and  strategic  alliances  will be required  and will likely
result in significant  stockholder  dilution and/or significant  liabilities and
may have restrictive conditions.                                                

Our current plans are to raise capital  through a combination of debt and equity
financing.  Should we sell debt  securities  this would increase our liabilities
and future cash commitments and may subject us to restrictive  conditions on our
growth and operations.  However, we may be unable to obtain debt financing,  and
we would then depend principally on equity financings to pay for our systems, or
even if we obtain debt  financing,  we may be  required to provide  some form of
equity in addition.                                                             

The issuance of additional  equity  securities  by us may result in  significant
dilution to the equity  interests  of the current  stockholders.  Other types of
growth  participation  arrangements  may  significantly  lower  the value of the
equity interests of our current  stockholders by reducing the revenue,  profits,
or other elements of the market value of the Company.                           

In order to execute our business plans, we plan to seek strategic alliances with
entities that can provide communications systems,  engineering,  deployment, and
distribution  services and assets.  Such  alliances  will likely require that we
provide such entities the ability to participate in our growth. Examples of such
participation may be, but are not limited to, revenue and profit sharing and the
issuance of equity securities in us or our subsidiaries.                        

Regardless of how we structure our financings and strategic alliances, we may be
required to pledge our assets,  including our potential  revenues related to our
contract with the California Power Authority,  and/or our ownership  interest in
E-SAT.  Other  restrictive  conditions may also be imposed on the conduct of our
business.  In the event of a default on such pledges or conditions,  it would be
unlikely  that there  will be any  assets  remaining  to be  distributed  to our
stockholders.

We have incurred  significant  losses to date and could continue to do so, which
continues  to raise  substantial  doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.                                                                        

Without contracts for services utilizing the Iridium system, we will continue to
incur operating losses while we seek to construct our E-SAT system.  We recorded
operating losses of approximately  $4.8 million for 2001 and approximately  $6.5
million  for 2000,  and no  revenues  for either  year.  Without  customers  for
services  utilizing the Iridium  system,  we would not  anticipate  any revenues
during fiscal 2002. Without significant revenue from the Iridium system, we will
continue to incur  substantial and increasing  operating losses and negative net
cash flows until the E-SAT  system is  developed,  deployed  and  operating in a
profitable  manner.  As of  December  31,  2001,  our cash and cash  equivalents
amounted to $20,494  while our current  liabilities,  including  amounts owed to
employees, amounted to $3,730,277.                                              

These  circumstances  raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern as discussed in the report of our independent accountants and Note
1 to our financial statements.                                                  

We  currently  estimate  that for the  first two  years we would  require  up to
approximately $15 to $20 million in additional  working capital for engineering,
deployment,  and operation of the proposed automated load curtailment system for
the State of California,  and $60 million in additional  capital  related to the
construction and launch costs associated with the E-SAT system.  Given the risks
in  undertakings  of  this  nature,  we  cannot  assure  you  that  actual  cash
requirements will not exceed our estimates.  In particular,  additional capital,
over and above amounts anticipated, will be required in the event that we:      

     o    incur  unexpected  costs in  completing  the design of our  systems or
  encounter any unexpected technical or regulatory difficulties;

     o    find that the power  utilization of participants in our automated load
          conservation  system is significantly lower than our estimates and, as
a result, additional participants are necessary;            

     o    incur delays and  additional expenses as the result of an E-SAT system
launch or satellite failure;                                

     o    are unable to enter into  marketing  agreements  with third parties to
sell our services; or                                       

o    incur any other significant unanticipated expenses.              

The occurrence of any of these events would adversely affect our ability to meet
our  business  objectives.  If we are  unable to obtain a  sufficient  amount of
financing  to complete our systems and on  commercially  acceptable  terms,  our
business and future success will be adversely affected.                         

We are subject to development contract commitments for the E-SAT system.        

In order to comply with development  milestones required by E-SAT's FCC license,
we  have  entered  into  various   development   contracts  including  satellite
construction  contracts with Alcatel Space Industries and Surrey Satellite and a
satellite  launch  contract  with  Eurockot.   Entering  into  these  and  other
development and service contracts are critical to the overall development of the
E-SAT  system.  We have  failed to make  necessary  payments to Alcatel and that
contract could be declared  void.  (See Risk Factor "The contract with our prime
contractor for the E-SAT system is suspended and could be  cancelled.")  Failure

to  maintain  these  contracts  or to  arrange  acceptable  alternatives,  would
adversely  affect  our  ability  to  construct  the E-SAT  system and our future
success.                                                                        

The contract  with our prime  contractor  for the E-SAT system is suspended  and
could be cancelled by our prime contractor.                                     

We have not made the necessary payments to our prime contractor,  Alcatel,  and,
as a result,  Alcatel is not obligated to honor the contract and it could cancel
it at any time. The agreement with Alcatel required a payment at the end of 1999
of approximately $9.1 million in cash and the equivalent of $5 million shares of
our Common Stock. This payment was necessary for Alcatel to continue work and to
trigger an effective date for the full system development  schedule.  As of July
5, 2002, this payment has not been made and Alcatel, therefore, has the right to
cancel the contract.  Although  Alcatel has verbally  indicated that it does not
intend to terminate the contract,  it has the right to do so. Although we have a
satellite  construction  contract with Surrey Satellite  Technology Limited, any
cancellation   of  our  prime   contractor's   contract  could  cause  delay  in
construction  of the  E-SAT  system  that  could  result  in the loss of the FCC
license.  (See also "Risk Factor--The  E-SAT system has experienced  delays that
could lead to the loss of the E-SAT FCC license.")                              

The  technology,  design and  construction  of our E-SAT  system are  subject to
numerous risks.                                                                 

The design and construction of the E-SAT system are subject to a number of risks
associated with space-based communications systems. Although we believe that the
E-SAT  system is based on sound  technology,  its design  will  contain  certain
technology  that has not been  used in a  commercial  application.  Although  we
intend  to  engage  contractors  that  are  experienced  in  the  satellite  and
communications industry, we have no experience in developing,  constructing, and
operating a satellite based data communications system. The failure of the E-SAT
system to be constructed,  or to function as designed,  or the failure of system
components to function with other components or to specification could result in
delays,  unanticipated costs, and loss of system performance,  thereby rendering
the E-SAT  system  unable to  perform  at the  quality  and  capacity  levels we
anticipate.                                                                     

The E-SAT system has experienced delays that could lead to the loss of the E-SAT
FCC license.                                                                    

Our business is subject to both United States and international  regulations and
licensing. The E-SAT license has several FCC milestones, including:             

     *    the  completion of  construction  of the first two satellites by March
2002,                                                       

*    the launch of those satellites by September 2002, and            

     *    the  construction and launch of the remaining four satellites by March
2004.                                                       

We failed to meet the milestone for completion of the  construction of the first
two  satellites  and, given the delays in  construction  due to our inability to
obtain sufficient  financing,  the other milestones will be extremely difficult,
if not impossible,  for us to meet. The failure to meet milestones could lead to
a loss of the license.  On March 29, 2002 E-SAT filed a request for an extension
of  milestones  with the FCC. The request was accepted by the FCC after a 30-day
public  notice period  during which no opposing  comments  were filed.  Based on
advice  from our  regulatory  counsel,  we believe it is likely  that we will be
granted the  extension.  However,  we have very little  control over whether any

extension  will be granted  and the failure to obtain an  extension  or meet the
milestones  would likely  result in the loss of E-SAT's FCC license  which would
have a material adverse effect on our business  financial  condition and results
of operations.                                                                  

We  will  face  many  risks  associated  with  the   construction,   launch  and
implementation of E-SAT satellites.                                             

Once  construction is fully commenced,  delays and related increases in costs in
the  construction,  launch and  implementation  of the E-SAT system could result
from a variety of causes, including:                                            

     *    delays encountered in the construction, integration and testing of the
E-SAT system;                                               

*    launch delays or failures;                                       

     *    delays  caused by  design  reviews  in the  event of a launch  vehicle
       failure or a loss of satellites or other events beyond our control;

     *    further  modification  of the  design of all or a portion of the E-SAT
          system in the event of, among other things,  technical difficulties or
changes in regulatory requirements;                         

     *    our failure to enter into agreements with marketing providers on terms
acceptable to us; and                                       

     *    the failure to develop or acquire effective  applications for use with
the E-SAT system.                                           

Satellite  launches are subject to  considerable  risks,  including the possible
failure  of the  launch  vehicle,  which may result in the loss or damage to the
satellite or its deployment into an incorrect or unusable orbit.  Each launch is
expected to carry three little low earth orbiting satellites.  Consequently,  an
unsuccessful  launch could adversely  affect  one-half of our planned  satellite
constellation.  We intend to obtain a certain  amount of insurance to cover some
of our potential  losses in this area,  but we cannot assure you that we will be
able to obtain  adequate  insurance  to cover all  incidents  or in a sufficient
amount to cover the losses.                                                     

We have entered into a launch  services  agreement with Eurockot Launch Services
GmbH,  headquartered in Bremen, Germany to provide for two payload launches from
a launch site in Plesetzk, Russia during specified periods. Eurockot has limited
experience in launching commercial  satellites.  Further, it is anticipated that
any launch must be approved by a governmental  agency of the Russian Federation.
We do not know whether the launches  will be approved by the Russian  Federation
or if the launches  will take place as planned.  Various  political and military
considerations,  including as yet unknown  factors  resulting from the September
2001 terrorist  attacks on the United States,  could impact these launches.  The
failure of the launches or the occurrence of any significant  problems generally
associated  with  satellite  launches would have an adverse effect on us and our
ability to provide the services contemplated.                                   

We will only be able to obtain a limited  amount of satellite  insurance for our
E-SAT system.                                                                   

We expect to obtain launch insurance for each of our satellite launches and have
engaged Frank Crystal & Co. and its  subsidiary,  International  Space  Brokers,
Inc. to provide risk management counsel in obtaining  insurance coverage for our
planned little low earth orbiting satellite constellation. This insurance would,
in  the  event  of a  launch  failure,  provide  funds  for  replacement  launch
satellites.  In addition, we expect to obtain satellite  replacement  insurance,

10KSB/A
25th Page of 104
TOC

Previous
Next
↓Bottom
Just 25th

which we hope will provide sufficient funds for rebuilding satellites damaged in
construction,  shipment or launch.  In the event a covered loss occurs,  we will
need to satisfy  the  insurance  underwriters  that the  technological  or other
problems  associated  with  the  covered  loss  have  been  addressed  prior  to
continuing the launch process. The launch and replacement  insurance marketplace
is volatile and we do not know whether launch or replacement insurance, or both,
will be available to us, or if available,  will be available on terms acceptable
to us. We will continue to evaluate the insurance  marketplace  to determine the
level of risk we are willing and able to absorb internally as well as the amount
of risk we may be able to transfer to third parties.                            

Our E-SAT system is subject to governmental  regulation that can be difficult to
satisfy.                                                                        

We will need to secure "landing rights" in various countries where we hope to do
business.  Failure to secure  foreign  landing  rights  would  preclude  us from
offering our full services in such countries,  which would adversely  affect our
anticipated  results of  operation.  In  addition,  our  international  license,
LEOTELCOM-2,  is sponsored by the United States,  and should we fail to maintain
our FCC license,  our international  license rights may be subject to challenge.
Further,  we will be  subject to varying  export and  communications  regulatory
requirements  for the U.S. and  internationally,  not only for  construction and
launch of the E-SAT system, but also for the continuing operation of the system.

The services we intend to provide must be acceptable to the energy industry.    

Our success is largely  dependent on whether  governments,  utilities  and other
related  entities will contract for services  utilizing the Iridium and/or E-SAT
systems.  We cannot  assure you that we will be  successful  in  completing  the
development  and  commercial  implementation  of our services.  Governments  and
utility  companies  typically  go through  numerous  steps  before  making final
decisions.  This process can be time  consuming  and take up to several years to
complete.                                                                       

Further,  utilizing  satellite data  messaging  services is a relatively new and
evolving business. It is difficult to predict the future growth of the market or
the potential size of the market.  There are a number of competing products from
entities  providing  various  types of  communication  technologies.  The use of
low-earth-orbiting  satellites  provides only one of many possible solutions for
data  communications with remote sites, and potential customers may choose other
competing solutions. In the event that customers do not adopt our technology, or
do so less rapidly than expected,  our future results,  including our ability to
achieve profitability, will be materially and adversely affected.               

Future advances in the industry could make our services obsolete.               

Future   advances  in  the   telecommunications   industry  could  lead  to  new
technologies,  products or services  competitive  or superior to the products or
services we intend to provide. Such technological  advances could also lower the
costs of other products or services that may compete with our systems, resulting
in  pricing  pressures  on our  proposed  products  and  services,  which  could
adversely affect our business and results of operations.                        

Intense  competition  from existing and new entities could adversely  affect our
business.                                                                       

We will encounter  competition  from other  satellite  systems,  as well as from
competitive terrestrial-based communication companies. The market for collection
and  transmission of data from fixed devices and the potential  market for other
applications  of data messaging  services have led to substantial and increasing

competition. Many of our present and future competitors using low earth orbiting
satellites  have begun to address the collecting and  transmitting  of data from
fixed devices and at least one of these  competitors has  substantially  greater
marketing,   technical  and  manufacturing  resources,  name  recognition,   and
experience.                                                                     

Such  competitors  may be  able  to  respond  more  quickly  to new or  emerging
advancements in the industry and to devote greater resources to the development,
promotion  and sale of their  products  and  services.  Our  technology  must be
competitive so that the systems can provide the data  transmission  service at a
cost lower than most of our competitors' systems. We cannot assure you that such
competitors will not succeed in developing  better or more  cost-effective  data
transmission systems.                                                           

We face  increased  competition  as a result of  strategic  alliances  and other
consolidation in the industry.                                                  

Our  current  and  potential  competitors  may make  strategic  acquisitions  or
establish cooperative  relationships among themselves or with third parties that
could  increase  their ability to reach  commercial  customers or subscribers of
data  messaging  services.  Further,  terrestrial-based  wireless  communication
systems are already  providing data messaging  services to the utility industry.
Such  existing  and future  competition  could  affect  our  ability to form and
maintain agreements with utility companies and other customers. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to compete  successfully against our current and future
competitors,  and our failure to do so would have a material  adverse  effect on
our business.                                                                   

The price of ground transceivers will affect the success of our service.        

The  development of low-cost  ground  transceivers  to collect and transmit data
from fixed  devices will be important in the  development  of a broad market for
our services.  Ground  transceivers  must be manufactured  and operated at a low
cost in order  to make  our data  messaging  services  attractive  to  potential
commercial  customers.  It is expected that the cost of ground transceivers will
decline as the volume of units  produced  increases.  We must develop a low-cost
ground  transceiver  which requires less power to operate and will be attractive
to utility  and other  companies.  However,  we cannot  assure  you that  ground
transceivers  can be  developed  at a cost and with the  capabilities  that will
attract a large enough commercial  subscriber base for us to receive significant
revenues or achieve profitability.                                              

We are dependent on third party vendors and consultants.                        

We have relied on, and will continue to rely on,  vendors and  consultants  that
are not our employees to complete the design, construction and implementation of
ours  services,  to  market  and  deploy  our data  messaging  services  and for
representation on regulatory issues. These vendors and consultants must continue
to provide the expertise  necessary.  We cannot assure you that suitable vendors
and  consultants  will be available  in the future,  and if  available,  will be
available on terms deemed acceptable to us.                                     

We cannot  assure you that these  manufacturers  of parts and  equipment for our
systems such as transceivers,  antennas,  load  curtailment  equipment and other
devices,  will be able to meet our needs in a satisfactory  and timely manner or
that we will be able to obtain additional manufacturers when and if necessary. A
significant price increase, a quality control problem, an interruption in supply
or other difficulties with third party  manufacturers  could have a material and
adverse  effect on our ability to  successfully  provide our proposed  services.
Further,  the  failure of third  parties to deliver  the  products,  components,
necessary  parts or equipment on  schedule,  or the failure of third  parties to

perform at expected levels, could delay our deployment of our services. Any such
delay or increased  costs could  significantly  harm our business and  operating
results.                                                                        

Our key engineering  subcontractor is emerging from a bankruptcy proceeding that
could harm our completion of the Iridium based system.                          

In April 2002, Arthur D. Little, the engineering firm that we contract with, was
liquidated  and  portions  transferred  to  five  different  companies  in  U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Massachusetts. The division that is providing services to us
was sold to a company called TIAX LLC for approximately $16.5 million.  TIAX has
continued to develop the Iridium-based  system.  However,  TIAX may be unable to
retain the necessary  personnel to properly develop the system, or they may lack
resources to devote to the engineering of the system,  or they may be delayed by
circumstances  surrounding the bankruptcy and  acquisition.  Any such failure or
delay could significantly harm our ability to complete our Iridium-based  system
and would therefore harm our business and operating results.                    

Failure to effectively manage our growth would harm our future business results.

As we seek  to  proceed  from a  development  stage  company  to an  operational
company,  we may  experience  significant  and  rapid  growth  in the  scope and
complexity  of our  business.  We may need to  rapidly  engineer  and deploy new
services  across wide  geographic  areas and engage in  significant  and complex
business  development  and strategic  alliance  efforts.  We will likely have an
increased  need and  opportunity  to market  our  services,  manage  operations,
control the  operations  of our proposed  systems,  handle  sales and  marketing
efforts and perform finance and accounting  functions.  This growth is likely to
place a strain on our small management team and limited  operational  resources,
and there is a risk that we may not  effectively  manage this growth.  To lessen
this  requirement,  and assist us in executing  our business  plan,  we recently
signed  agreements  with Arthur D. Little,  Inc. (now TIAX LLC) for  engineering
services,  and with Bechtel  Corporation to provide program management  services
for  the  installation  and  deployment  of  the  proposed   Voluntary   Command
Conservation System.  However, these organizations may terminate their contracts
with  us on  short  notice,  and  further  there  is no  assurance  that we will
effectively  manage the  subcontractors.  The failure to develop  and  implement
effective  systems,  or the failure to hire or subcontract and train  sufficient
personnel for the  performance of all of the functions  necessary to effectively
grow and manage our  potential  customer  base and  business,  or the failure to
manage growth effectively,  could have a material adverse effect on our business
and financial condition.                                                        

We are dependent on key personnel.                                              

Our success is  substantially  dependent  on the  performance  of our  executive
officers  and key  personnel  and on our  ability  to retain  and  motivate  our
personnel. The loss of any of our key personnel,  particularly Fred W. Thompson,
our president,  would harm our ability to manage  operations and  development of
our  systems,  and could have a material  and  adverse  effect on our  business,
financial condition, and operating results.                                     

Substantially   all  of  our  assets  consist  of  our   capitalized   satellite
construction  costs ($12.2 million or 83% of total assets) and acquisition costs
relating to the E-SAT  license  ($2.4  million or 16% of total assets) and these
assets may be  significantly  impaired if we are unable to obtain the  necessary
financing or to maintain our FCC license.

We cannot  assure you that we will be able to obtain  financing  in a sufficient
amount for the construction and deployment of our satellite  constellation.  Our
failure to obtain sufficient and timely financing or to maintain our FCC license
could  result in our  conclusion  that the carrying  amounts of the  capitalized
satellite  construction  costs and the investment in E-SAT are not  recoverable.
Under generally  accepted  accounting  principles  relating to the impairment of
assets,  we  would  then  be  required  to  write  off all or a  portion  of the
capitalized  satellite  construction costs and our acquisition costs relating to
the  E-SAT  license  which  would  have a  material  and  adverse  effect on our
business, results of operations and financial position.                         

Our certificate of  incorporation  and Delaware law contain  certain  provisions
that could deter  takeovers  which may prevent you from  receiving a premium for
your shares.                                                                    

Provisions of our  certificate  of  incorporation  and Delaware law could delay,
defer or  prevent a change in our  control.  Our  certificate  of  incorporation
contains a fair price  provision that requires a certain  threshold  approval by
our board of directors  in the event of a merger,  sale of assets or other types
of business  combinations.  In addition, our board consists of members who serve
staggered three-year terms so that only a portion of our board can be removed at
the annual meeting of  stockholders.  Further,  the board is authorized to issue
preferred  stock, the classes and terms of which may be determined by the board.
We are also  subject  to the  anti-takeover  provisions  of  Section  203 of the
Delaware  General  Corporation  law,  which  prohibits  us  from  engaging  in a
"business  combination"  with an "interested  stockholder" for a period of three
years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner,
under Delaware law. These  provisions in our  certificate of  incorporation  and
Delaware law could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change
in control, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders.           

We have not paid  dividends  and are not likely to pay  dividends  on our Common
Stock in the future.                                                            

We have not  declared  or paid any  dividends  on our Common  Stock,  and do not
anticipate  paying any dividends for the foreseeable  future.  In addition,  the
holders of our shares of series A preferred  stock and series B preferred  stock
are entitled to receive,  out of any legally available funds,  annual cumulative
dividends  equal  to  five  percent  and  ten  percent,   respectively,  of  the
liquidation preference of their shares. All dividends must be paid on the series
A  preferred  stock and series B preferred  stock  before any may be declared or
paid  on the  Common  Stock.  It is also  anticipated  that  if we  obtain  bond
financing or other financing facilities, we will be restricted in our ability to
declare future  dividends on our Common Stock. We have not paid any dividends on
Common Stock and do not have any accrued  dividends  for Common  Stock.  Accrued
dividends for preferred stock total $111,218 as of December 31, 2001.           

Our stock price is volatile.                                                    

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin  Board and is thinly  traded.  In
the past,  our trading price has  fluctuated  widely,  depending on many factors
that may have  little  to do with  our  operations  or  business  prospects.  In
addition,  the OTC Bulletin  Board is not an exchange  and,  because  trading of
securities on the OTC Bulletin  Board is often more sporadic than the trading of
securities  listed  on an  exchange,  such as  NASDAQ,  you may have  difficulty
reselling any of the shares that you purchase.                                  

The exercise of outstanding  options,  warrants and  convertible  securities may
adversely affect our Common Stock price and your percentage of ownership.

As of July 5, 2002, there were outstanding warrants and options to purchase an  
aggregate of  approximately  28.5 million  shares of our Common Stock.  Of these
outstanding  warrants and options,  approximately  27.8 million are vested,  and
approximately  24.8  million  have  exercise  prices  of  $1.00  or  less,  with
approximately 14.6 million having exercise prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.13.  

In addition to our outstanding  warrants and options, we have outstanding shares
of  preferred  stock that are  convertible  into shares of our Common Stock.    

The  outstanding  shares of our Series A preferred  stock may be converted  into
415,600  shares of Common Stock and the 296  outstanding  shares of our Series B
preferred  stock may be converted  into shares of Common Stock at the lower of a
conversion  rate fixed at October 6, 2000 (the date of  commitment) of $0.96 per
share,  or a fixed  discount to the Common  Stock's  market price at the date of
conversion  equal to 80% of the average of the three  lowest  closing bid prices
for the 20-day trading  period prior to the conversion  date. You should also be
aware that:                                                                     

     >>   Assuming  all  of  our  outstanding  warrants,  options and  preferred
          shares  were  converted,  as of July 5, 2002  these  securities  would
          convert into  approximately  35.6 million  shares of our Common Stock,
          representing   approximately  50%  of  our  total  shares  outstanding
          following such conversions.  Of that amount approximately 17.3 million
          shares of our  Common  Stock,  representing  approximately  50% of our
          total shares  outstanding  following such conversions,  are vested and
          have  conversion  prices at or below the  market  price of our  common
          stock as of July 5,  2002.  However,  due to the  floating  conversion
          rates  of  our  Series  B  preferred  stock  and  certain  outstanding
          warrants,  we do not know the  exact  number  of  shares  that will be
issued when they are actually converted.                    

     >>   To the extent  that the holders of these  securities  convert and then
          sell the shares of Common Stock they  receive  after  converting,  the
          market  price for shares of our Common  Stock may  decrease due to the
          additional  shares in the  market.  This  could  allow the  holders to
          receive even greater  amounts of our Common  Stock,  the sale of which
would further depress the market price for our Common Stock.

     >>   To the extent that the holders of these securities continue to convert
          and then sell material  amounts of our Common  Stock,  this may create
          significant  downward pressure on the market price of our Common Stock
          and could encourage short selling by the holders or others. This could
          place even further downward pressure on the market price of our Common
Stock.                                                      

     >>   Under  circumstances  in which the price of our Common Stock decreases
          to a level  below  $0.02 per share,  assuming  the  conversion  of the
          Series B convertible  preferred  stock at that time, this could result
          in a  change  in  control  of the  Company,  if the  Company  has  not
previously issued additional shares.                        

In  addition,  the  conversion  of our  Series A and B  preferred  stock and the
exercise of the outstanding  warrants and options may have a detrimental  impact
on the terms  under which we may obtain  financing  through a sale of our Common
Stock in the future  since they may  hinder our  ability to raise  capital at an

attractive  market price. For these reasons,  any evaluation of the favorability
of market  conditions for a subsequent stock offering must take into account our
outstanding convertible securities.                                             

Our  failure to timely  register  shares of our  Common  Stock has  resulted  in
liquidated damages and will continue to do so.                                  

We  have  incurred  liquidated  damages  related  to our  Series  B  convertible
preferred stock in the amount equal to 5% of the purchase price for each 30 days
we have failed to effectively  register the  underlying  shares of Common Stock.
The liquidated damages may be demanded by the holder in cash or as an accrual to
the  liquidation   preference  associated  with  each  share  of  the  Series  B
convertible  preferred  stock. As of December 31, 2001, we have incurred $87,267
in liquidated damages.                                                          

We have also incurred liquidated damages related to our Convertible  Debenture F
in an amount equal to 3% of the purchase price for each month we have failed to 
effectively  register the underlying  shares of Common Stock, up to a maximum of
$100,000.  One June 24, 2002, 400,000 shares of Common Stock were issued to  the
holder of the Convertible Debenture in lieu of a cash payment for  the  $100,000
of liquidated damages.                                                          

We have also incurred  liquidated  damages  related to three issuances of Common
Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock.                                    

With respect to two of these  issuances,  for each month that the effective date
of registration is delayed beyond May 1, 2001,  liquidated  damages have accrued
at the rate of 10% of securities  purchased.  As of December 31, 2001, the total
liquidated  damages amount to 976,000 shares of our Common Stock and warrants to
purchase 244,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50.      

With respect to the third  issuance,  for each month that the effective  date of
registration is delayed beyond November 1, 2001, liquidated damages have accrued
at the rate of 10% of securities  purchased.  As of December 31, 2001, the total
liquidated  damages amount to 160,000 shares of our Common Stock and warrants to
purchase 40,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50.       

Until we have an effective  registration  statement  registering  the underlying
shares of common  stock,  we will  continue to incur these  liquidated  damages,
which will further increase our liabilities and dilute our common stockholders. 

We may be forced to redeem shares as a result of our failure to timely  register
shares of our Common Stock.                                                     

As a result of our failure to register the underlying  shares of Common Stock by
August 4, 2001, the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock have the
right to  require  us to redeem  all or a portion  of the  Series B  convertible
preferred  stock  in an  amount  equal  to at  least  125%  of  the  liquidation
preference amount.

    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
  OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This discussion, other than the historical financial information, may consist of
forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks and  uncertainties,  including
quarterly and yearly  fluctuations  in results,  the timely  availability of new
communication products, the impact of competitive products and services, and the
other risks described in the Company's SEC reports, including this report. These
forward-looking  statements  speak only as of the date  hereof and should not be
given  undue  reliance.   Actual  results  may  vary  significantly  from  those
projected.                                                                      

The  Company   undertakes  no  obligation  to  publicly  update  or  revise  any
forward-looking  statements,  whether  as a result  of new  information,  future
events, or otherwise.                                                           

General                                                                         

We were  formed in  Delaware  in 1989 and our  principal  executive  offices are
located in Mill Valley, California. We completed a share exchange reorganization
with DBS  Network in 1992.  Since  1994,  our focus has been to pursue  business
opportunities in satellite telecommunications.  We began this pursuit originally
by purchasing interests in direct broadcast satellite licensees. During 1997, we
sold our last indirect interest in a direct broadcast satellite license.        

We formed E-SAT,  Inc., a Colorado  corporation,  in  partnership  with EchoStar
Communications  Corp. in November 1994 for purposes of applying for a little low
earth orbiting FCC license. On March 31, 1998, the FCC issued a license to E-SAT
to launch and operate a little low earth orbiting satellite system.  Pursuant to
the agreement  entered into with EchoStar in July 1999, we now hold 80.1% of the
capital stock of E-SAT and EchoStar holds the remaining 19.9%.                  

During the intervening years, we raised financing and began the development of a
little low earth  orbiting  satellite  system  (the  "E-SAT  system") to provide
automated meter reading and short messaging services.  We signed a contract with
Eurockot for the launch of the satellites,  a contract with Surrey Satellite for
the  development  of ground  stations and the  satellite bus and a contract with
Alcatel for the  engineering  and  production of the  satellites  (this work was
subsequently  transferred to Surrey Satellite).  However, we have been unable to
secure financing to complete the launch and  commercialization  of the satellite
system.  We  initially  estimated  the costs  associated  with  building the six
satellite global  constellation to service this market to be approximately  $120
million and now believe that cost reductions are available to renegotiate  these
costs  lower,  to  approximately  $60  million,  in  addition  to costs  already
incurred, which are allocated as follows:                                       

Surrey Satellite (six satellites)       $17.0 million           
Eurockot (2 launches)                   $30.0 million           
Six Transponders                        $ 9.0 million           
Launch and Satellite Insurance          $ 3.5 million           

On June 2,  2001 we  signed a  seven-year  operator-to-operator  agreement  with
Iridium  Satellite LLC to provide remote  monitoring and control services to the
energy industry.  The Iridium satellite system is a low earth orbiting satellite
network  consisting  of  66  satellites.  Using  Iridium's  currently  available
commercial  satellite  network  and  our  contract  with  the  California  Power
Authority detailed below, we hope to begin providing specialized satellite-based
data services during fiscal 2002. Under the agreement with Iridium,  we have the
right to utilize Iridium  capacity at predetermined  per-minute  pricing and the
right to  purchase  Iridium  phones  to  utilize  in our  system.  There  are no
contingencies on our ability to utilize Iridium services under the

agreement.  We estimate that we will require $1 million to $3 million to develop
an interface to the Iridium system for data  applications to utilize the Iridium
system for our  services.  We expect the  capital and  operating  costs for full
deployment of the system to cost  approximately  $15 million to $20 million over
the next two years,  including  engineering,  installing  and  implementing  the
system as well as the costs of $1 million to $3 million estimated to develop the
interface.                                                                      

On  June  14,  2001  we  demonstrated  to  California   state  officials  how  a
satellite-based  energy control system could curtail electricity  consumption by
temporarily  deactivating  air  conditioning  units  located on the  rooftops of
California shopping malls.  Shortly thereafter,  we commenced  negotiations with
the State of California to provide  satellite-based  energy management services.
On April 12, 2002, the California  Power  Authority  approved a Demand  Reserves
Program that was essentially based on our proposals and authorized negotiations.

On May 23, 2002, we entered into a Demand Reserves  Provider  Agreement with the
California  Consumer Power and  Conservation  Financing  Authority  ("California
Power  Authority").  Under the  agreement,  beginning  October 1, 2002,  we must
provide a minimum  of 200  megawatts  and a maximum  of 360  megawatts  of daily
available  electrical demand reduction at peak or emergency times from qualified
end users.  The minimum and maximum amount of daily available  demand  reduction
requirements  increase  to  400  megawatts  and  560  megawatts,   respectively,
effective  June 1, 2003.                                                        

Through our proposed  system,  the  California  Power  Authority will be able to
immediately reduce  non-critical  power consumption at locations  throughout the
state in order to create energy  reserves to smooth out energy usage during peak
use or emergency times. We intend to utilize the Iridium-based system to provide
our  services  to  the  California  Power  Authority.   Our  system  utilizes  a
proprietary  master  conrol  system  and  remote  controller  connected  to  the
Iridium-based  system to remotely  monitor and control roof-top air conditioning
systems or other types of electricity-using  devices. TIAX, LLC, formerly Arthur
D.  Little's  Technology  and  Innovation  business,  is  providing  engineering
services  to us. It is  anticipated  that  qualified  end users will  consist of
primarily large private  commercial  energy users such as owners of large retail
stores and shopping centers.                                                    

For  our  services,   we  will  be  paid  by  the  California   Power  Authority
approximately  $51,000 per year per  megawatt  for  "non-spinning  reserves."  A
portion  of  these  fees  will be  remitted  to the  qualified  end  users as an
incentive to participate in the demand reserve program.  We do not pay any other
fees in connection witih this program.                                          

The Demand Reserves Provider  Agreement will terminate in May 2007. In addition,
this  agreement may be terminated  earlier if we fail to provide the  California
Power Authority with the daily minimum  megawatt of electrical  demand reduction
by  October  1,  2002,  the  California  Power  Authority  fails to enter into a
Participating Load Agreement with the California  Independent System Operator by
October 1, 2002, such Participating Load Agreement is terminated during the term
of the Demand Reserves Provider Agreement,  or we fail to reduce energy usage by
the specified level for two consecutive months during the summer.               

We are in the process of signing up qualified  customers to  participate        
in the program.  If we successfully  obtain enough customers to curtail at least
560 megawatts per day, our revenues could reach a total of $100 million over the
five-year term of the program.                                                  

We are currently  engaged in preliminary  discussions with investment firms with
regard to equity financing for  approximately  one third of the required capital

10KSB/A

and debt  financing  for the amount of  remaining  required  capital.  If we are
unable to raise a significant  portion of this  financing,  we will be unable to
implement the system and the  California  Power  Authority  could  terminate our
agreement.  We hope to begin generating revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2002. Successful implementation and completion of the California Power Authority
contract  would also offer us a basis for  offering  similar  services  to other
entities worldwide.  Additionally,  cash flow from such  satellite-based  energy
management  services  would  provide us with funds and market  justification  to
continue the development of the E-SAT system,  which we have estimated will cost
an additional $60 million.  Until then, and on a continuing  basis if we are not
successful,  we will seek to satisfy our short-term cash requirements by raising
new equity and debt capital.                                                    

Plan of Operation                                                               

Bankruptcies  in the satellite  sector and sharp declines in  telecommunications
and technology  sectors have impeded our financing  efforts and have required us
to modify our business  strategy.  Our current  strategy is to take advantage of
the  telecommunications   downturn  to  secure  low-cost  capacity  on  existing
satellite systems and combine it with the energy communications  technologies we
have developed over the past ten years, with an objective of generating  revenue
and proving our market potential in fiscal 2002.                                

Throughout  the year,  we have  focused  on this  strategy,  reducing  operating
expenses  and  concentrating  our efforts on raising  short-term  and  strategic
financing,  while  establishing  a  current  operating  business  utilizing  the
existing satellite capacity held by Iridium.                                    

At the same time,  we have  continued  our efforts to reduce the overall cost of
the E-SAT  system and to  identify  and  commence  negotiations  with  strategic
partners who may serve as both customers and financial partners for our proposed
satellite-based energy management systems. We have held preliminary  discussions
with several international strategic partners over the past four years. To date,
we have not entered into definitive  contractual  discussions  with any of these
partners.                                                                       

We currently lack adequate financing and sufficient time to build and launch two
low earth orbiting  satellites in advance of the required FCC  construction  and
launch date of March 2002 and September 2002,  which could result in the loss of
our FCC license.  We estimate that we could require up to $10 million of capital
and up to 18 months to successfully launch the required satellites.  This amount
is in addition to the  estimated  $15 million to $20 million  required to deploy
and  implement the Iridium  system for use in the Demand  Reserves  program.  On
March 29, 2002, E-SAT filed with the FCC to extend the required milestones.  The
request was accepted by the FCC after a 30-day public notice period during which
no opposing comments were filed, and we know of no reason that the FCC would not
grant our  extension.  We  continue to plan to  construct  and deploy a low-cost
global satellite system utilizing our E-SAT FCC and international licenses. (See
"Risks and Uncertainties Affecting Future Operating Results".)                  

The current circumstances in the satellite and  telecommunications  industry, as
well as in the financial markets, particularly in relation to technology stocks,
have led to delays in our ability to raise  short-term  operating  capital.  Our
right to raise  capital by selling  common  shares to the Torneaux Fund has been
limited by our stock price,  which,  during 2001 has been below the  contractual
minimum  threshold price of $1.00 per share.  Any sale of shares to the Torneaux
Fund at prices below that threshold  price requires  Torneaux's  approval.  As a
result of deficiencies in short-term capital raising, we have delayed payment to
many of our vendors, and certain of our employees.  As of December 31, 2001, our

cash and cash  equivalents  amounted to $20,494  while our current  liabilities,
including  amounts owed to employees,  amounted to  $3,730,277.  Throughout  the
year,  we  have  continued  to  focus  on  reducing   operating  expenses  while
concentrating  our efforts on raising  short-term  and  strategic  financing and
establishing  a current  operating  business  utilizing  the existing  satellite
capacity held by Iridium.                                                       

Until we begin to generate  positive cash flow through our  operations,  we will
continue to seek to satisfy our cash requirements by raising new equity and debt
capital,  as well as by seeking the exercise of  previously  issued  third-party
warrants and stock options.  The issuance of additional  equity securities by us
will  result in  significant  dilution  of the equity  interests  of the current
stockholders.                                                                   

Critical Accounting Policy                                                      

During the  construction of its E-SAT system,  the Company is  capitalizing  all
design,  engineering,  launch and  construction  costs.  Such costs  amounted to
approximately   $12.2  million  as  of  September  30,  2001.   Because  of  our
difficulties  in  financing  construction  of the  E-SAT  system  and  resulting
inability to meet required FCC  milestones,  the Company reviews its capitalized
satellite  construction and FCC license costs for impairment  whenever events or
changes in circumstances  indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may
not be  recoverable.  The Company's  management and Audit Committee of the Board
concluded no such event or changes in circumstances exist and,  accordingly,  it
would be  inappropriate  to write down the  capitalized  satellite  construction
costs as impaired as of December 31, 2001.                                      

In  reaching  this  conclusion,  the  Company  applied  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,  Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. Under this standard, the Company
periodically  reviews whether there have been events or changes in circumstances
that indicate that the carrying amount of the satellite  construction  costs may
not be recoverable.  If an impairment event exists, the amount of the impairment
loss, if any,  would be calculated  based on the excess of the carried amount of
the assets over their fair value.                                               

Of the capitalized  amounts,  approximately $2 million was paid to Alcatel Space
Industries  ("Alcatel")  for  preliminary  engineering  design  review  for  the
Company's system, including the payload design and designs for the gateway earth
station and tracking  facilities,  as well as the satellite orbital analysis and
communications  link margins to and from space.  On October 8, 1999, the Company
signed a contract with Alcatel for the final design,  construction  and delivery
to the launch site of six Little Low earth orbiting  satellites.  This agreement
also  includes  the  final  design,  construction  and  delivery  of the  ground
infrastructure,  including the gateway earth station,  mission center, satellite
control center, ground communications  network and ground-based  transceivers to
be installed into devices, like utility meters.  Alcatel is also responsible for
providing in-orbit testing of the E-SAT system. The total contract price for the
end-to-end system is $88.5 million. Either party has the right to terminate this
agreement  under  certain  circumstances.  As noted  above,  the Company paid $2
million in construction payments to Alcatel for engineering specifications.  The
Company has not made a further  payment  required by the agreement with Alcatel,
due at the end of 1999, of approximately $9.1 million in cash and the equivalent
of $5 million  in Common  Stock.  This  payment  was  necessary  for  Alcatel to
continue  work and to trigger an effective  date for the  Company's  full system
development  schedule.  As of December 31, 2001, this payment has not been made,
and Alcatel therefore has the right to consider this contract void as to further
work, and that the contract is therefore not currently in effect. If the Alcatel
contract is never  brought  into  effect,  the Company  retains the  engineering
specifications  provided by Alcatel,  which would still be used by the Company's
other contractors in the construction of the Company's satellite network.

On March 31, 1999, the Company  signed  construction  and launch  contracts with
Surrey Satellite Technology Limited ("Surrey") and Eurockot,  respectively,  and
made  advance  payments of $7.8  million in April 1999 and $2.0  million in July
1999.   Total  payments  under  these   cancelable   contracts  will  amount  to
approximately  $47  million.  In July 1999,  the  Company,  Surrey and  Eurockot
reached  agreements under which $3.2 million of the required  milestone payments
due in July 1999  totaling  $4.8 million were  deferred to yet to be agreed upon
dates.                                                                          

Surrey's construction contract, which was to build the satellite infrastructures
that would house the telecommunications payload, was to be managed by Alcatel as
prime contractor,  if and when the Company paid Alcatel $14.1 million to trigger
the Alcatel  contract  effective  date.  As this payment has not been made,  the
Alcatel contract is not in effect and Surrey remains a direct  contractor of the
Company.                                                                        

The  Company  evaluated a number of factors in its  consideration  of whether an
impairment event has incurred,  including:  (1) whether the Company's failure to
meet its FCC milestone  requirements would result in termination of the license;
(2) whether the assets  continue to have value  notwithstanding  the delay since
contracting;  (3)  whether  the  Company's  failure to bring the  Alcatel  prime
contract  into effect  prevents the Company from  constructing  its system;  (4)
whether the state of  difficulties  in the satellite  financing  capital markets
were likely to prevent the Company from financing its system in the future;  (5)
whether the  telecommunications  industry had overcapacity such that there would
be no business  opportunity for the E-SAT system;  and (6) whether the Company's
implementation of an Iridium-based system effectively replaced the E-SAT system.
In more detail, the Company  concluded,  subject to the Risk Factors detailed in
this Annual Report, these points as detailed below:                             

     1.   The  Company  believes  that  its failure to meet its  milestones  are
          not  likely to result  in  termination  of the  license.  The  Company
          recognizes  that the loss of the FCC  license  held by its  subsidiary
          E-SAT,  Inc. would be a change in circumstance and that the failure to
          meet  certain  milestones  could  lead to a loss of the  license.  The
          Company  currently  lacks  adequate  financing  and time to build  and
          launch two Low earth  orbiting  satellites  in advance of the required
          FCC  construction  and launch date of March 2002 and  September  2002,
          respectively.  As  part  of the  Company's  impairment  analysis,  the
          Company  received a report and opinion from Leslie Taylor  Associates,
          its  regulatory  counsel,  that the license was likely to be extended.
          This opinion was based on the satellite construction progress to date,
          including the launch of one satellite, and the fact that there were no
          other pending  applicants for the spectrum covered by E-SAT's license.
          As  recommended by Leslie Taylor  Associates,  on March 29, 2002 E-SAT
          filed the request for an extension of  milestones  with the FCC and is
          awaiting a reply.  The request was accepted by the FCC and placed on a
          30-day  public  notice  on April 24,  2002.  As of May 24,  2002,  the
          request came off public  notice and no opposing  commenets  were filed
          during the 30-day period.  Based on these facts, the Company believes,
          while there is no guarantee, the FCC will grant the extension and that
          it is therefore not in imminent danger of losing its FCC license,  but
will continue to monitor the situation for any changes.     

     2.   The Company believes that its satellite  construction  assets continue
          to have value notwithstanding the delay since contracting. Included in
          the capitalized  satellite  construction costs are payments to Alcatel
          Space  Industries,  Eurockot  and Surrey  Satellite.  The Company paid
          Alcatel for the production of engineering  specifications and analysis

          which  information   remains  the  property  of  the  Company.   These
          specifications  are an integral  part of E-SAT's  ability to construct
          the satellites and were transferred by the Company to Surrey Satellite
          in  2001,  and  will be  used  by  Surrey  in  satellite  construction
          regardless  of whether  the  Alcatel  contract  is ever  brought  into
          effect.  Surrey  Satellite  was paid for the  design of the  satellite
          ground station,  among other things, which is crucial to the design of
          the  system and  remains  an  important  element  to  completion  of a
          complete satellite  communication  network.  Eurockot was paid for the
          launch  of the  satellites  and  although  the  launch  date  has been
          extended  past  2002,  E-SAT's  right to  Eurockot's  launch  services
remains intact.                                             

     3.   The  Company  believes  that its  failure to bring the  Alcatel  prime
          contract  into effect does not prevent the Company  from  constructing
          its system.  The Company's  contract with Alcatel called for a payment
          by the  Company at the end of 1999 that has not been paid to date and,
          as a result,  Alcatel  has the  option to  termination  the  contract.
          Alcatel has not  indicated to the Company that it intends to terminate
          the  contract,  and the Company  believes  that Alcatel  would seek to
          bring the contract into effect when the Company receives financing. In
          addition,  the Company  believes that currently  alternative  suitable
          prime  contractors  are  available  to  manage  construction  as prime
          contractor, including Surrey Satellite, for a significantly lower cost
          than  negotiated  with  Alcatel,  and so the Company may not choose to
          reinstate  the  Alcatel  contract.  As noted  above,  the  Company has
          received viable assets  consisting of engineering  specifications  and
analysis in return for the $2.1 million paid to Alcatel.    

     4.   The Company  believes that the state of  difficulties in the satellite
          financing  capital  markets is not likely to prevent the Company  from
          financing  its  system  in  the  future.  The  Company  believes  that
          satellite  financing  is cyclical and further that the low cost of its
          system,   approximately   $60   million,   compared  to  other  global
          telecommunications  system,  allows it to be  financed  through a wide
          variety of sources,  including customers and strategic  partners.  The
          Company believes that the primary impediment to financing is therefore
          a demonstration of market viability of  low-earth-orbiting  satellites
for data communications to remote infrastructure.           

     5.   The  Company   believes  that  current   telecommunications   industry
          overcapacity  does not  obviate the market  opportunity  for the E-SAT
          system.  The Company  believes  that the E-SAT system will have unique
          competitive  advantages  even  if  the   telecommunications   industry
          maintains  a  position  of low per minute  costs due to  overcapacity.
          These  advantages  are primarily low terminal cost due to usage of low
          power-spread spectrum transceivers permitted by the E-SAT license, and
          high penetration of buildings, remote terrain and poor weather because
the E-SAT license uses VHF frequencies.                     

     6.   The  Company  believes  that  the  Company's   implementation   of  an
          Iridium-based  system is not a substitute  for the E-SAT  system.  The
          Company  believes that the  Iridium-based  system,  which has a higher
          transceiver  cost and  operates on the L-Band which  requires  line of
          sight,  is  potentially  complementary  to the E-SAT system with lower
          transceiver  cost and  operates on VHF  frequencies  which have strong
building, terrain and weather penetration.                  

The Company  believes  that if the funding  necessary to complete the  satellite
network and to remain a going  concern is obtained,  the  capitalized  satellite

construction  costs will be recoverable from future operating cash flows. On May
23,  2002,  the  Company  entered  into a  Demand  Reserves  Authority  Provider
Agreement with the  California  Power  Authority to implement a  satellite-based
(using  Iridium  capacity)  automated  conservation  system  design to  conserve
significant  electrical  usage on demand at peak or emergency times. The Company
believes that implementation of this program, if successful,  would provide some
of the funding for the further  development of the E-SAT system.  Should the FCC
extension  request  be  denied,  or any of the other  above  factors  materially
change,  the Company may be required to record an impairment of the  capitalized
satellite construction costs.                                                   

Revenues                                                                        

The Company  remains in the development  stage and did not generate  revenues in
the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.                                     

Operating Expenses                                                              

Total  operating  expenses for fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000,  were $4,776,671 and
$6,496,009  respectively.  These  costs  are  related  to  marketing  and  sales
expenses,  general and  administrative  expenses,  and research and  development
expenses.                                                                       

Marketing and Sales Expenses                                  

Marketing and sales  expenses are  primarily  the costs of personnel  (including
non-cash  stock  compensation),  consulting  and  travel.  Marketing  and  sales
expenses totaled $186,043 (3.9% of operating  expenses) and $1,721,725 (26.5% of
operating expenses) in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. This reduction
in expenses is due to the termination of our dedicated marketing and sales group
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 in order to reduce our cash expenditures.  

General and Administrative Expenses                           

General  and  administrative  expenses  include  the  costs of  finance,  legal,
administrative and general management  functions of DBS Industries.  General and
administrative  expenses  for  fiscal  2001 and 2000 were  $2,990,808  (62.6% of
operating expenses),  and $4,037,509 (62.2% of operating expenses) respectively.
The  reduction  of  $1,046,700  was due to a  reduction  in  consulting  fees of
$574,200,  reduced personnel costs of $184,900, a reduction of legal expenses of
$124,000,  a  reduction  of third  party  services  for  investor  relations  of
$115,100, and a reduction in office supplies of $41,700.                        

Research and Development Expenses                             

Research and development  expenses represent  non-capitalized  costs incurred to
develop our system. Research and development expenses for fiscal 2001 and fiscal
2000 were  $1,599,820  (33.5% of operating  expenses),  and  $736,775  (11.3% of
operating expenses),  respectively.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 we
terminated our research and development  office in Toulouse,  France in order to
reduce  our  operating  expenses.  During  the second  half of fiscal  2001,  we
utilized  the  expertise  of  a  third-party  consulting  firm  to  develop  the
Iridium-based energy management system,  incurring during that period $1,588,179
in  consulting  fees,  compared  with  consulting  fees of $33,013  incurred for
research and development of our E-SAT system during fiscal 2000.                

Non-Cash Stock Compensation                                   

In order to attract and retain qualified  personnel,  we have granted options to
purchase  Common Stock to several  employees.  Some of the exercise  prices were

below the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant,  resulting
in deferred stock  compensation.  The deferred stock  compensation was amortized
over the vesting  periods of the granted  options and as of December 31, 2001 is
fully  amortized.  The Company  recognized a total of $450,129 as non-cash stock
compensation expense in fiscal 2001 compared to $1,078,857 in fiscal 2000. As of
December 31, 2001,  the entire amount of deferred  stock  compensation  has been
fully amortized.                                                                

Other Income (Expense)                                        

The Company  recorded  non-operating  income of $258,144  during  fiscal 2001 as
compared to a loss of $59,940  during  fiscal  2000.  The income in 2001 was the
result of an approximately $384,000 gain due to the Company's application of the
provisions  of EITF  00-19,  Accounting  for  Derivative  Financial  Instruments
Indexed to, and  Potentially  Settled in, a Company's  Own Stock,  during fiscal
2001.  The EITF required the Company to assess,  during 2001,  the balance sheet
classification  of all  outstanding  warrants.  As a result of this  assessment,
certain warrants that met liability classification criteria were reclassified as
liabilities and measured at fair value,  with  subsequent  changes in fair value
repoted in the  statement of  operations.  The decrease in the fair value of the
warrants  that resulted in such gains was due to a decrease in fair value of our
Common Stock,  shorter  remaining  terms for the remeasured  warrants due to the
passage of time, changes in volatility and interest rates.                      

Net Loss                                                      

The Company's net loss for fiscal 2001 was $4,520,127 compared to $6,557,549 for
fiscal 2000.                                                                    

Liquidity and Capital Resources                                                 

We  have  been in the  development  stage  since  our  inception  and  have  not
recognized any significant revenues. Our monthly expenditures excluding non-cash
items  averaged  approximately  $309,000 per month during fiscal 2001.  However,
expenses will increase during fiscal 2002 with the demands of increased  efforts
in both systems and business  development.  Additional capital will be necessary
to expand  operations  or  continue  current  operations,  which will  result in
further  dilution to our  stockholders.  Until we are  successful in raising the
capital  necessary  to  deploy  the  Iridium  system  for  use in the  State  of
California Demand Reserves Program, we will likely continue to raise only enough
capital to continue our  operations for the next 1 to 3 months at a reduced rate
of  approximately  $150,000  per  month.  We cannot be certain  that  additional
funding  will be available on  acceptable  terms or at all. We do not  currently
have  financing  in place to fund  operations  for the next  twelve  months  and
estimate  that,  without  additional  capital,  we will not have enough  working
capital to sustain operations.                                                  

Traditionally,  we have  relied on equity and debt  placements  to  finance  our
operations.  This  financing was  supplemented  from the sale of our interest in
entities that held direct broadcast  satellite  licenses.  We no longer have any
interest in direct broadcast satellite licensees.                               

During fiscal 2001,  we received  proceeds from the sale of common and preferred
stock totaling  $2,002,874  before stock issuance costs of $88,200.  We had cash
and cash  equivalents  of $20,494  and  $389,319  as of  December  31,  2001 and
December 31, 2000 respectively. We had negative working capital of $3,657,802 as
of December 31, 2001, compared to a negative working capital of $2,216,321 as of
December 31, 2000.                                                              

Until we are able to either:  1)  successfully  implement  our program  with the
California  Power  Authority  to  provide   satellite-based   energy  management
services,  or 2) develop,  construct  and  operate  the E-SAT  system and derive

revenues therefrom,  we must continue to rely solely on outside sources to raise
cash for our operations.                                                        

Net cash used in operating  activities  during  fiscal 2001 was  $2,858,390,  as
compared to $2,385,941 for fiscal 2000.  The $2,858,390  results from a net loss
of $4,520,127 offset primarily by:                                              

-    non-cash stock compensation of $450,129;                         

   -    non-cash warrants issues and other non-cash charges of $555,960; and

     -    an increase in accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities  of $649,375
due primarily to difficulties in raising capital financing; 

Net cash used in investing  activities  for fiscal 2001 was $30,109  compared to
$96,552 for fiscal 2000.                                                        

Net cash  provided by  financing  activities  for fiscal  2001,  was  $2,520,674
compared  to  $2,588,866  for  fiscal  2000.  Net  cash  provided  by  financing
activities during fiscal 2001 was related primarily to the net proceeds from the
sale  of  common  stock  and  the  exercise  of  options  and  warrants  by  our
stockholders and to the issuance of convertible debt in the amount of $501,000. 

We are required to pay certain  license fees to the FCC to maintain the validity
of our license.  Over the next five years,  we are expected to make  payments to
the FCC of  approximately  $90,000 per year.  The FCC waived our license fee for
2001  following  our  application  for such waiver on the  grounds of  financial
hardship, and our 2002 license fee is due in September 2002.                    

In 1996,  we  received  milestone  payments  under the  terms of a $1.2  million
purchase order for 10,000  satellite radio units from ABB. Under this agreement,
the Company was  eligible to receive up to $500,000  towards  development  costs
upon meeting the milestone  requirements of the contract.  We met the first four
milestones  of the  contract  and have  received  $400,000 in cash.  The parties
agreed to suspend all development  under this agreement due to the expiration of
the  Company's  agreement  for the use of the Argos System on December 31, 1997,
and the subsequent  limits placed on future  commercial use of the Argos System.
Therefore,  such milestone  payments could be subject to refund,  in whole or in
part.                                                                           

A number of  factors  could  cause  future  results  to differ  materially  from
historic  results.  We are a  development  stage  company and as of December 31,
2001,  we had no  customers.  Given our  limited  operating  history and lack of
revenues,  we cannot  assure you that we will be able to construct and implement
our system,  and, if implemented,  to develop a sufficiently large customer base
to be profitable.                                                               

While we continue the strategic  fund-raising  efforts (see "Plan of Operation")
that are necessary to our ultimate  success,  our  continued  cost of operations
significantly exceeds our short-term capital. In addition, we currently estimate
for the first two years that we will  require  approximately  $15 million to $20
million of working  capital to develop,  install,  and operate the equipment for
satellite-based  energy  management  services for the California Power Authority
and $60  million  in  capital  related  to the  construction  and  launch  costs
associated with the E-SAT system. No assurance can be given that capital will be
available to us on commercially acceptable terms to meet development costs or on

terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional  equity securities by us will
result  in  significant   dilution  of  the  equity  interests  of  the  current
stockholders.   Selling  debt   securities  such  as  bonds  will  increase  our
liabilities  and future cash  commitments.  In order to comply with  development
milestones required by the FCC license, we have entered into various development
contracts  including a satellite  construction  contract and a satellite  launch
contract.  All of these contracts require that we have available capital,  which
is not  currently  available.                                                   

Potential impact on our liquidity and capital resources of our failure to timely
register certain shares of our Common Stock and resulting liquidated damages.   

We have also  incurred  liquidated  damages  related to our Series B convertible
preferred stock in the amount equal to 5% of the purchase price for each 30 days
we have failed to effectively  register the  underlying  shares of Common Stock.
The liquidated damages may be demanded by the holder in cash or as an accrual to
the  liquidation   preference  associated  with  each  share  of  the  Series  B
convertible  preferred  stock. As of December 31, 2001, we have incurred $87,267
in liquidated damages.                                                          

We have also incurred liquidated damages related to our Convertible  Debenture F
in the amount equal to 3% of the purchase price for each month we have failed to
effectively  register the underlying  shares of Common Stock. As of December 31,
2001, we have incurred $1,000 in liquidated damages.                            

We have also incurred  liquidated  damages  related to three issuances of Common
Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock.                                    

With respect to two of these  issuances,  for each month that the effective date
of registration is delayed beyond May 1, 2001,  liquidated  damages have accrued
at the rate of 10% of securities  purchased.  As of December 31, 2001, the total
liquidated  damages amount to 976,000 shares of our Common Stock and warrants to
purchase 244,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50.      

With respect to the third  issuance,  for each month that the effective  date of
registration is delayed beyond November 1, 2001, liquidated damages have accrued
at the rate of 10% of securities  purchased.  As of December 31, 2001, the total
liquidated  damages amount to 160,000 shares of our Common Stock and warrants to
purchase 40,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50.       

Until we have an effective  registration  statement  registering  the underlying
shares of common  stock,  we will  continue to incur these  liquidated  damages,
which will further increase our liabilities and dilute our common stockholders. 

As a result of our failure to register the underlying  shares of Common Stock by
August 4, 2001, the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock have the
right to  require  us to redeem  all or a portion  of the  Series B  convertible

Section  145  of the  General  Corporation  Law of  Delaware  provides  for  the
indemnification  of officers and directors under certain  circumstances  against
expenses incurred successfully defending against a claim and authorizes Delaware
corporations   to  indemnify   their   officers  and  directors   under  certain
circumstances  against  expenses and liabilities  incurred in legal  proceedings
involving  such  persons  because  of their  being or having  been an officer or
director.   Our   certificate   of   incorporation   and  bylaws   provide   for
indemnification  of our officers and directors to the fullest extent  authorized
by law.                                                                         

Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to our directors,  officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions,  or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Section 16(a) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  requires the
Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of
the Company's  Common Stock,  to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes
in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the
"SEC").  Such  executive  officers,  directors  and 10%  stockholders  are  also
required by SEC rules to furnish the  Company  with copies of all Section  16(a)
forms they file.                                                                

Based  solely  upon its  review of copies of such  forms  received  by it, or on
written  representations  from certain  reporting  persons that no other filings
were required for such persons, the Company believes that, during the year ended
December  31, 2001,  its  executive  officers,  directors  and 10%  stockholders
complied  with  all  applicable  Section  16(a)  filing  requirements.

Columns  regarding "Other Annual  Compensation",  "Restricted  Stock Awards" and

Compensation of Directors                                                       

On September 1, 1999, our Board of Directors  adopted a directors'  compensation
plan. Under the compensation  plan, each non-employee  director shall receive an
annual  retainer of $12,000 plus a fee of $1,000 and reasonable  travel expenses
for  attendance at each Board  meeting.  Each  committee  chairman shall receive
$2,500  annually  for each  year of  service  as  committee  chairman,  and each
committee member shall receive $500 for attendance at each committee meeting. In
lieu of cash  compensation,  non-employee  directors may elect to receive either
the Company's  Common Stock or stock options to purchase Common Stock, the value
of which under either  election,  shall not exceed $20,000  annually.  If either
Common Stock or stock  options are elected,  the price will be determined by the
average  closing  price for the five  trading  days of the  Common  Stock at the
beginning of a six-month  period ending either June 30 or December 31.  Further,
with  respect to stock  options  elected as  compensation,  the cash  equivalent
number of stock  options  will be  determined  based  upon a number of  factors,
including  but not limited  to,  vesting  periods,  estimated  growth  rates and
risk-free rates.                                                                

In  addition,  each  non-employee  director  shall  receive  an annual  grant of
non-qualified  options to purchase  10,000  shares of Common Stock in accordance
with the  Company's  current  Stock  Option Plan.  The  exercise  price shall be
determined  by the closing price of the Common Stock of the five trading days up
to and  including  the  date of the  Annual  Stockholders  Meeting,  subject  to
discounting pursuant to a formula adopted by the Board. These options shall vest
one year from date of grant. Further, upon either the first-time  appointment or
election to the Board,  a new  non-employee  director  shall receive  options to
acquire  10,000  shares of Common  Stock,  the  exercise  price of which will be
determined  by a  formula  adopted  by  the  Board.  These  options  shall  vest
immediately.                                                                    

In 2001,  Michael T. Schieber was awarded  options to purchase  10,000 shares of
Common  Stock at $0.22 per share,  options to purchase  71,202  shares of Common
Stock at $0.4156  per share,  and options to  purchase  30,974  shares of Common
Stock at $0.46 per share;  Jerome W.  Carlson  was  awarded  options to purchase
10,000  shares of Common  Stock at $0.22 per share,  options to purchase  73,840
shares of Common  Stock at $0.4156 per share,  and  options to  purchase  28,591
shares of Common Stock at $0.46 per share;  Jessie J.  Knight,  Jr., was awarded
options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.22 per share, options to
purchase  68,565  shares of Common  Stock at  $0.4156,  and  options to purchase
33,365  shares of Common Stock at $0.46 per share;  and Roy T. Grant was awarded
options to purchase  10,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.22 per share and 32,843
shares of Common Stock.                                                         

The  directors'  compensation  plan  was  prepared  following  a  report  by  an
independent  compensation firm. It was recommended by the compensation committee
and adopted by the Board.

1,000,000  shares of Common  Stock at an  exercise  price of $1.3496  based on a

increments  beginning on January 1, 2000,  and each year  thereafter.  Effective
August 1, 2001, Mr. Thompson's  annual salary was increased to $280,000.  If Mr.
Thompson  is  terminated  without  cause  during  the  term  of  his  employment

his employment agreement will vest immediately.  We maintained during 2001 a key
person insurance policy on Mr. Thompson's life in the face amount of $2,000,000,
for  which we were the sole  beneficiary  of such  policy,  and we will  seek to
reinstate this policy during 2002.

inability  to  pay  ongoing  salary  obligations.  Pursuant  to  his  employment
agreement,  this  termination  was  deemed  termination  without  cause  and was
effective February 11, 2002.

Report of Independent Accountants 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of                                   
DBS Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries:                                          

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  of  stockholders'  equity,  and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of DBS
Industries,  Inc. and Subsidiaries (a development  stage company) as of December
31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their  operations and their cash flows for
the three years ended  December  31, 2001 and for the period from April 25, 1990
(date of  inception)  to  December  31,  2001,  in  conformity  with  accounting
principles  generally accepted in the United States of America.  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 of these  statements  in  accordance  with
auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the United  States of America  which
require that we plan and perform the audit 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 the financial  statements,  assessing the accounting principles used
and  significant  estimates  made by  management,  and  evaluating  the  overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.                                               

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 incurred losses and negative
cash flows from operating activities since inception and will require additional
financing.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going  concern.  Management's  plans as to these  matters are also
described in Note 1. The  consolidated  financial  statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DBS Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries                                           
(A Development Stage Company)                                                   
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements                                      

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation                   

     These  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  DBS
     Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Global
     Energy Metering Service,  Inc. ("GEMS"),  and NewStar Limited  ("NewStar").
     The Company  consolidates the financial  statements of E-SAT Inc., in which
     the Company has an ownership interest of 80.1%.  Intercompany  transactions
and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.                   

     The  Company was  organized  as a Delaware  corporation  on August 3, 1989.
     Since  inception  the  Company  has  been  in the  development  stage.  The
     Company's current business plan is to develop a data communication  service
     using a constellation of low earth orbit  satellites and the Internet.  The
     Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
     continue  as a going  concern.  Since  inception,  the  Company has devoted
     substantially  all of its efforts to developing  its business.  The Company
     has  therefore  incurred  substantial  losses and negative  cash flows from
     operating   activities  as  reflected  in  these   consolidated   financial
     statements.  Accordingly,  the Company has relied  primarily upon obtaining
     equity  capital and debt financing to support its  operations.  The Company
     does  not  expect  revenue  to  exceed  costs  and  expenses  in 2002  and,
     accordingly,  will  continue to incur losses and  negative  cash flows from
     operating  activities.  To address financing needs, the Company is pursuing
     various financing alternatives. These circumstances raise substantial doubt
     about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial
     statements  do not  reflect  any  adjustments  that might  result  from the
outcome of the above uncertainty.                                     

     During fiscal 2001, the Company raised  approximately $2.5 million,  net of
     stock issuance costs, from warrant exercises,  issuance of debentures,  and
     sale of shares of common and  preferred  stock.  However,  the Company will
     need substantial additional capital, at least $60 million, to construct its
     proposed E-SAT satellite constellation.  Such financing is likely to result
     in  a  significant   dilution  in  the  equity  interests  of  the  current
     stockholders.  The  construction  of  the  first  two of  the  six  planned
     satellites was required to be completed by March 2002 pursuant to the terms
     of the Federal  Communications  Commission  (the "FCC") license  granted to
     E-SAT.  (See Note 3 - "License  Costs".)  On March 29,  2002,  the  Company
     notified the FCC that it has not achieved  this  milestone  and requested a
     two-year  extension.  On May 23, 2002, the Company  entered into a contract
     with an  agency  of the  State of  California.  (See  Note 12-  "Subsequent
     Events".) The Company  believes the  implementation  of this  contract,  if
     successful,  would provide some of the funding for the further  development
of  the  E-SAT  system.                                               

     GEMS is a Delaware  corporation  in the  development  stage  whose  primary
     activity has been the development of satellite and radio systems for use in
     automating  the  control  and  distribution  of gas and  electric  power by
 utility companies. GEMS had no significant activity during fiscal 2001.

     In January 1998, the Company  created  NewStar,  a wholly-owned  subsidiary
     organized  under the Laws of the Republic of Bermuda to market and sell our
service to international customers.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies               

     Hereafter,  unless  otherwise  specified,  all  references to the "Company"
     include DBS Industries,  Inc., its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  and E-Sat,
Inc.                                                                  

Use of estimates                                                      

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles in the United  States of America  requires
     management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the  reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent  assets and
     liabilities  at the  date of the  financial  statements  and  the  reported
     amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Such
     estimates include the  recoverability of satellite  construction  costs and
   the investment in ESAT. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation                                                         

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     E-SAT,  a  majority  owned   subsidiary.   All  significant   inter-company
transactions have been eliminated.                                    

Cash equivalents                                                      

     The Company considers all money market  instruments and other highly liquid
     investments  with  original  maturities  of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.                                                          

Depreciation                                                          

     Furniture and equipment are depreciated  over the estimated useful lives of
     the assets ranging from five to seven years using the straight-line  method
     of  depreciation.  When  assets  are  disposed  of,  the  related  cost and
     accumulated  depreciation are removed from the books and the resulting gain
or loss is recognized in the year of disposal.                        

Satellite construction costs                                          

     Satellite  construction  costs will be depreciated over the useful economic
lives of the satellites once they enter into service.                 

     The  Company  reviews  satellite  construction  costs and other  long-lived
     assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances  indicate
     that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The amount of
     the impairment loss, if any, would be calculated based on the excess of the
carrying amount of the assets over their fair value.                  

Goodwill                                                              

     Goodwill  is  amortized  using the  straight-line  method  over five years.
     Amortization expense charged to operations for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000, and 1999, was $0, $1,047, and $2,515 respectively.        

Income taxes                                                          

     Income taxes are accounted for in  accordance  with  Statement of Financial
     Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,  Accounting for Income Taxes. Under
     SFAS No. 109,  deferred  income tax  liabilities  and assets are determined
     based on the  difference  between the financial  reporting  amounts and tax
     bases of assets and  liabilities  that will result in taxable or deductible

     amounts in the future. Such amounts are based on enacted tax laws and rates
     in effect for the years in which the  differences  are  expected  to affect
     taxable income, net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Valuation
     allowances are established  when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to
     the amounts expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is the tax payable
     for the period and the change  during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.                                                          

Stock-Based Compensation                                              

     The company accounts for stock-based  employee  compensation  agreements in
     accordance  with the  provisions  of  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion
     No.25,  Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees  (APB No.25) and complies
     with  the  disclosure  provisions  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
     Standards No.123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). Under
     APB No.25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, between
     the fair value of the Company's  stock and the exercise price of the option
on the measurement date, which is typically the date of grant.        

     In March of 2000, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     FIN 44, Accounting for Certain  Transactions  Involving Stock Compensation,
     an  interpretation  of APB No.25.  Fin 44 was effective  July 1, 2000.  The
     implementation  of FIN 44 did not have a material  impact on the  Company's
consolidated financial statements.                                    

     The Company accounts for options granted to non-employees under SFAS No.123
     and Emerging  Issues Task Force  ("EITF") No. 96-18,  Accounting for Equity
     Instruments  that are Issued to Other Than Employees for  Acquiring,  or in
     Conjunction with, Selling Goods or Services. Under SFAS No.123 and EITF No.
     96-18,  options are recorded at their fair value on the  measurement  date,
which is typically the date of grant.                                 

Net loss per share                                                    

     In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
     128,  Earnings per Share,  which  establishes  standards  for computing and
     presenting earnings (loss) per share. Under these standards, basic earnings
     per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares
     outstanding and excludes any potential dilution; diluted earnings per share
     reflects  diluted  effects of all  outstanding  common  stock  equivalents.
     Options and warrants are excluded  from the EPS  calculation  in loss years
     due to their  antidilutive  effect.  Diluted  net loss per  share  does not
include the effect of the following potential common shares:          

                                 Year Ended December 31,
                                 2001          2000           1999

Recently issued accounting pronouncements                             

     In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations and SFAS 142,
     Goodwill  and  Other  Intangible   Assets.   SFAS  141  requires   business
     combinations  initiated  after June 30, 2001 to be accounted  for using the
     purchase  method of  accounting,  and  clarifies the criteria for recording
     intangible  assets  separate from goodwill.  SFAS 142 requires the use of a
     non-amortization  approach to account for  purchased  goodwill  and certain
     intangibles.  Under  a  non-amortization  approach,  goodwill  and  certain

     intangibles  are not  amortized,  but instead  are  reviewed  annually  for
     impairment  and written down via a charge to results of  operations  in any
     periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain  intangibles is
     more than their fair value.  SFAS 142 is effective January 1, 2002 and such
 equities had no impact on the Company's unaudited financial statements.

     In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144"),  Accounting for
     the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets.  SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS
     121,  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
     Assets to Be Disposed Of and applies to all  long-lived  assets  (including
     discounted  operations) and consequently amends Accounting Principles Board
     Opinion No. 30 ("APB 30"),  Reporting results of  Operations-Reporting  the
     Effects of  Disposal  of a Segment of a  Business.  SFAS 144  develops  one
     accounting  model  (based on the model in SFAS 121) for  long-lived  assets
     that are to be  disposed of by sale,  as well as  addresses  the  principal
     implementation  issues. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that re to
     be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value
     less cost to sell. That  requirement  eliminates APB 30's  requirement that
     discontinued  operations  be  measured  at net  realizable  value  or  that
     entities include under discontinued operations amounts for operating losses
     that have not yet  occurred.  Additionally,  SFAS 144  expands the scope of
     discontinued  operations  to  include  all  components  of an  entity  with
     operations  that (1) can be  distinguished  from the rest of the entity and
     (2) will be  eliminated  from the  ongoing  operations  of the  entity in a
     disposal transaction. SFAS 144 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. (See Note 4.)     

Reclassifications                                                     

     Certain  prior period  balances  have been  reclassified  to conform to the
current year's presentation.                                          

Segment reporting                                                     

     We have determined that we have a single  reportable  operating  segment as
     defined by SFAS No. 131  Disclosures  about  Segments of an Enterprise  and
Related Information.                                                  

Comprehensive income (loss)                                           

     The  Company  had no other  comprehensive  income  or loss for all  periods
presented.                                                            

3. License Costs                                            

     In October 1994,  the Company and EchoStar  formed E-SAT for the purpose of
     filing  with the FCC for a license to operate a low earth  orbit  satellite
system. E-SAT filed with the FCC on November 16, 1994.                

     On March 31, 1998,  the FCC approved  E-SAT's  application  for a low earth
     orbit satellite  license.  E-SAT is required to meet certain milestones and
     other  covenants in order to maintain its  license.  On April 8, 1999,  the
     Company  notified the FCC that it had entered into a construction  contract
for the first two satellites of the E-SAT system on March 31, 1999.

     On July 30, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with EchoStar under
     which it received  60.1% of E-SAT's  shares from  EchoStar in exchange  for
     consideration,  including  the  grant  of  rights  to  use up to 20% of the
     satellite  capacity of the E-SAT  system by  EchoStar.  As a result of this
     transaction,  which was  subsequently  approved by the FCC, the Company now
     owns 80.1% of the E-SAT shares.  In connection with the negotiations of the
     share purchase  agreement with EchoStar,  the Company paid  $1,517,187 to a
     consultant  during 1999 and capitalized  such costs as part of the purchase
price.                                                                

4. Satellite Construction Costs                             

     During  the   construction  of  its  satellite   system,   the  Company  is
     capitalizing all design,  engineering,  launch and construction costs. Such
costs amounted to approximately $12.2 million as of December 31, 2001.

     Of  that  amount,  approximately  $2  million  was  paid to  Alcatel  Space
     Industries  ("Alcatel") for preliminary  engineering  design review for the
     Company's system,  including the payload design and designs for the gateway
     earth station and tracking  facilities,  as well as the  satellite  orbital
     analysis and  communications  link margins to and from space. On October 8,
     1999,  the Company  signed a contract  with  Alcatel for the final  design,
     construction  and  delivery  to the  launch  site of six  little  low earth
     orbiting  satellites.  This  agreement  also  includes  the  final  design,
     construction  and  delivery  of the ground  infrastructure,  including  the
     gateway earth station,  mission center,  satellite  control center,  ground
     communications  network and ground-based  transceivers to be installed into
     devices,  like utility  meters.  Alcatel is also  responsible for providing
     in-orbit  testing of the E-SAT  system.  The total  contract  price for the
     end-to-end system is $88.5 million. Either party has the right to terminate
     this agreement  under certain  circumstances.  As noted above,  the Company
     paid $2  million  in  construction  payments  to  Alcatel  for  engineering
     specifications.  The Company has not made a further payment required by the
     agreement  with  Alcatel,  due at the end of 1999,  of  approximately  $9.1
     million in cash and the  equivalent  of $5 million  in Common  Stock.  This
     payment  was  necessary  for  Alcatel  to  continue  work and to trigger an
     effective date for the Company's full system  development  schedule.  As of
     December 31, 2001,  this payment has not been made,  and Alcatel  therefore
     has the right to consider this  contract void as to further work,  and that
     the contract is therefore not currently in effect.  If the Alcatel contract
     is  never  brought  into  effect,   the  Company  retains  the  engineering
     specifications  provided  by  Alcatel,  which  would  still  be used by the
     Company's other contractors in the construction of the Company's  satellite
network.                                                              

     On March 31, 1999, the Company  signed  construction  and launch  contracts
     with  Surrey  Satellite   Technology   Limited   ("Surrey")  and  Eurockot,
     respectively,  and made advance  payments of $7.8 million in April 1999 and
     $2.0 million in July 1999. Total payments under these cancelable  contracts
     will amount to approximately $47 million. In July 1999, the Company, Surrey
     and Eurockot  reached  agreements  under which $3.2 million of the required
     milestone payments due in July 1999, totaling $4.8 million were deferred to
yet to be agreed upon dates.                                          

     Surrey's   construction   contract,   which  was  to  build  the  satellite
     infrastructures that would house the telecommunications  payload, was to be
     managed  by  Alcatel  as prime  contractor,  if and when the  Company  paid
     Alcatel $14.1 million to trigger the Alcatel  contract  effective  date. As
     this payment has not been made,  the Alcatel  contract is not in effect and
Surrey remains a direct contractor of the Company.                    

     In  accordance  with SFAS 121, the Company  reviews  capitalized  satellite
     construction  and FCC  license  costs  for  impairment  whenever  events or
     changes in  circumstances  indicate that their carrying  amounts may not be

     recoverable.  The Company's management and Audit Committee of the Board has
     concluded  that no such events or changes in  circumstances  have  occurred
     and,  accordingly,  it would be inappropriate to write down the capitalized
satellite construction costs as impaired as of December 31, 2001.     

     The  Company  evaluated  a  number  of  factors  in  its  consideration  of
     impairment events and changes in circumstances  including:  (1) whether the
     Company's  failure to meet its FCC milestone  requirements  would result in
     termination of the license;  (2) whether the assets  continue to have value
     notwithstanding  the delay since  contracting;  (3)  whether the  Company's
     failure to bring the  Alcatel  prime  contract  into  effect  prevents  the
     Company from constructing its system; (4) whether the state of difficulties
     in the  satellite  financing  capital  markets  were  likely to prevent the
     Company  from  financing  its  system  in  the  future;   (5)  whether  the
     telecommunications  industry had  overcapacity  such that there would be no
     business  opportunity  for the E-SAT system;  and (6) whether the Company's
     implementation of an Iridium-based  system  effectively  replaced the E-SAT
     system.  In more detail,  the Company concluded subject to the risk factors
detailed in the Company's Form 10-KSB, these points as detailed below:

     a.   The  Company  believes that  its  failure to meet its  milestones  are
          not  likely to result  in  termination  of the  license.  The  Company
          recognizes  that the loss of the FCC  license  held by its  subsidiary
          E-SAT,  Inc. would be a change in circumstance and that the failure to
          meet  certain  milestones  could  lead to a loss of the  license.  The
          Company  currently  lacks  adequate  financing  and time to build  and
          launch two low earth  orbiting  satellites  in advance of the required
          FCC  construction  and launch  date of March 2002 and  September  2002
          respectively.  As  part  of the  Company's  impairment  analysis,  the
          Company  received a report and opinion from Leslie Taylor  Associates,
          its  regulatory  counsel,  that the license was likely to be extended.
          This opinion was based on the satellite construction progress to date,
          including the launch of one satellite, and the fact that there were no
          other pending  applicants for the spectrum covered by E-SAT's license.
          As recommended by Leslie Taylor  Associates,  on March 29, 2002, E-SAT
          filed  the  request  to  the  FCC  for  an  extension  of   milestones
          requirements.  The  request  was  accepted  by the FCC and placed on a
          30-day  public  notice  on April 24,  2002.  As of May 24,  2002,  the
          request  came off public  notice and no opposing  comments  were filed
          during the 30-day period.  Based on these facts, the Company believes,
          while there is no guarantee, the FCC will grant the extension and that
          it is therefore  not in imminent  danger of losing its FCC license but
will continue to monitor the situation for any changes.     

     b.   The Company believes that its satellite  construction  assets continue
          to have value notwithstanding the delay since contracting. Included in
          the capitalized  satellite  construction costs are payments to Alcatel
          Space  Industries,  Eurockot  and Surrey  Satellite.  The Company paid
          Alcatel for the production of engineering  specifications and analysis
          which  information   remains  the  property  of  the  Company.   These
          specifications  are an integral  part of E-SAT's  ability to construct
          the satellites and were transferred by the Company to Surrey Satellite
          in  2001,  and  will be  used  by  Surrey  in  satellite  construction
          regardless  of whether  the  Alcatel  contract  is ever  brought  into
          effect.  Surrey  Satellite  was paid for the  design of the  satellite
          ground station,  among other things, which is crucial to the design of
          the  system and  remains  an  important  element  to  completion  of a
          complete satellite  communication  network.  Eurockot was paid for the
          launch  of the  satellites  and  although  the  launch  date  has been
          extended  past  2002,  E-SAT's  right to  Eurockot's  launch  services
remains intact.                                             

     c.   The  Company  believes  that its  failure to bring the  Alcatel  prime
          contract  into effect does not prevent the Company  from  constructing
          its system.  The Company's  contract with Alcatel called for a payment
          by the  Company at the end of 1999 that has not been paid to date and,
          as a result, Alcatel has the option to terminate the contract. Alcatel
          has not  indicated  to the Company  that it intends to  terminate  the
          contract,  and the Company  believes  that Alcatel would seek to bring
          the  contract  into  effect when the Company  receives  financing.  In
          addition,  the Company  believes that currently  alternative  suitable
          prime  contractors  are  available  to  manage  construction  as prime
          contractor, including Surrey Satellite, for a significantly lower cost
          than  negotiated  with  Alcatel,  and so the Company may not choose to

83

          reinstate  the  Alcatel  contract.  As noted  above,  the  Company has
          received viable assets  consisting of engineering  specifications  and
analysis in return for the $2.1 million paid to Alcatel.    

     d.   The Company  believes that the state of  difficulties in the satellite
          financing  capital  markets is not likely to prevent the Company  from
          financing  its  system  in  the  future.  The  Company  believes  that
          satellite  financing  is cyclical and further that the low cost of its
          system,   approximately   $60   million,   compared  to  other  global
          telecommunications  systems,  allows it to be financed  through a wide
          variety of sources,  including customers and strategic  partners.  The
          Company believes that the primary impediment to financing is therefore
          a demonstration of market viability of  low-earth-orbiting  satellites
for data communications to remote infrastructure.           

     e.   The  Company   believes  that  current   telecommunications   industry
          overcapacity  does not  obviate the market  opportunity  for the E-SAT
          system.  The Company  believes  that the E-SAT system will have unique
          competitive  advantages  even  if  the   telecommunications   industry
          maintains  a  position  of low per minute  costs due to  overcapacity.
          These  advantages  are primarily low terminal cost due to usage of low
          power-spread spectrum transceivers permitted by the E-SAT license, and
          high penetration of buildings, remote terrain and poor weather because
the E-SAT license uses VHF frequencies.                     

     f.   The  Company  believes  that  the  Company's   implementation   of  an
          Iridium-based  system is not a substitute  for the E-SAT  system.  The
          Company  believes that the  Iridium-based  system,  which has a higher
          transceiver  cost and  operates on the L-Band which  requires  line of
          sight,  is  potentially  complementary  to the E-SAT system with lower
          transceiver  cost and  operates on VHF  frequencies  which have strong
building, terrain and weather penetration.                  

     The  Company  believes  that  if the  funding  necessary  to  complete  the
     satellite  network  and  to  remain  a  going  concern  is  obtained,   the
     capitalized  satellite  construction  costs will be recoverable from future
     operating cash flows.  On May 23, 2002,  the Company  entered into a Demand
     Reserves  Authority  Provider Agreement with the California Power Authority
     to  implement  a  satellite-based   (using  Iridium   capacity)   automated
     conservation  system  design to conserve  significant  electrical  usage on
     demand at peak or emergency times. The Company believes that implementation
     of this program,  if successful,  would provide some of the funding for the
     further  development of the E-SAT system.  Should the FCC extension request
     be denied, or any of the other above factors materially change, the Company
     may be  required  to  record an  impairment  of the  capitalized  satellite
construction costs.                                                   

5. Customer Advances                                        

     The  Company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  GEMS,  is party to a contract to
     deliver  10,000  satellite  radio  units.  The  purchase  order is for $1.2
     million and under the terms of the  purchase  order,  GEMS would  receive a
     total of $500,000 in advance  payments  on the  contract,  based on certain
     milestone  achievements.  As of December 31, 1998,  this purchase order had
     been  suspended by both parties when the Argos System  became  unavailable.
     The  $400,000  in  milestone  payments  received  is  reported  as customer
     advances on the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets. These milestone
payments could be subject to refund in whole or in part.

Other                                                                 

Refer to Note 4 for certain contract commitments.                     

7. Stockholders' Equity                                     

Preferred stock                                                       

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation,  as amended in 2001, authorizes
     the  issuance of  10,000,000  shares of  preferred  stock with par value of
     $0.0004 per share.  The Board of Directors of the Company is  authorized to
     issue preferred stock from time to time in series and is further authorized
     to establish  such  series,  to fix and  determine  the  variations  in the
     relative rights and preferences as between the series, and to allow for the
conversion of preferred stock into common stock.                      

Common stock                                                          

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation,  as amended in 2001, authorizes
     the  issuance  of  100,000,000  shares of common  stock with a par value of
     $0.0004 per share.  Each record  holder of common  stock is entitled to one
     vote  for  each  share  held  on  all  matters  properly  submitted  to the
     stockholders for their vote. Cumulative voting of the election of directors
is not permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation.

Preferred Stock Transactions                                          

     During fiscal 2000,  the Company sold to accredited  investors an aggregate
     of 35,897  shares of its Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock at $30 per
     share,  for an aggregate  placement of $1,076,910.  The shares of preferred
     stock have a liquidation  preference of $30.00 per share and were initially
     convertible,  at the  option of the  holder,  into ten shares of our common
     stock,  or at a rate of $3.00 per common share.  Per the conversion  terms,

     the  conversion  rate was adjusted to a range between  $1.6438 and $1.8625,
     based upon the 5-day average  closing  price of the Company's  common stock
     three  months after the shares were issued,  because the  Company's  common
     stock was  trading  below  $3.00 per  share.  Commissions  were paid to one
     placement agent in the aggregate  amount of  approximately  $7,000,  plus a
     warrant was issued in July 2000 to the placement  agent to purchase  57,586
     shares of common  stock at the  exercise  price of $3.00 per  share.  As of
     December  31,  2001,  25,899  shares of Series A  Preferred  Shares  remain
     outstanding.  Accreted  dividends totaled $70,898 based on 5% dividend rate
per annum.                                                            

     On October 6, 2000, the Company received from accredited investors proceeds
     of  $400,000  from the sale in a  private  placement  of (1) 400  shares of
     Series B  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  (2)  warrants to purchase  83,660
     shares of Common  Stock with an exercise  price of $1.052 per share and (3)
     warrants to purchase  83,660 shares of Common Stock with an exercise  price
     of $1.434 per share.  During the first 180 days following  October 6, 2000,
     the Series B Preferred Stock may not be converted;  and the Company has the
     right to redeem these shares if the Company  repays the purchase price plus
     an additional 5-7% depending on repayment date, plus dividends at a rate of
     10% per annum.  After 180 days  following  October  6,  2000,  the Series B
     Preferred  Stock are  convertible  into  Common  Stock at the lesser of (1)
     approximately  $.96 per share or (2) 80% of the average of the three lowest
     closing bid prices of the Common Stock for the 20-day  trading period prior
     to the conversion date. The Compnay did not record a beneficial  conversion
     feature under the  provisions  of EITF 98-5,  "Accounting  for  Convertible
     Securities with Beneficial  Conversion Features or Contingently  Adjustable
     Conversion  Ratios",  as the  most  beneficial  conversion  price  of  $.94
     exceeded the fair value of the Common Stock on the date of commitment which
was $.84.                                                             

     The Company also has the obligation to register the Common Stock underlying
     the warrants  and,  after 180 days,  Common Stock  underlying  any redeemed
     Series B Preferred Stock. For this transaction,  an agent received a fee of
     40 shares of Series B Preferred  Stock and  warrants  to  purchase  120,000
     shares of Common Stock of the Company with an exercise  price of $1.052 per
     share.  As of December  31, 2001,  320 shares of Series B Preferred  Shares
     remain  outstanding,  and accreted dividends amounted to $40,320 based on a
10% dividend rate per annum.                                          

     On June 26, 2001, the Company's Series B preferred  stockholders  agreed to
     modify their preferred stock agreement with the Company. As a result of the
     modification,  the Company's  requirement to file a registration  statement
     for the  Series B equity was  delayed  four  months to August 4, 2001.  The
     Company has not filed such  registration  statement as of December 31, 2001
     and  therefore  has  recorded  accretions  of 5%  monthly  of the  Series B
     Preferred Stock's liquidation amount of $440,000. These accretions amounted
to $87,267 for the year ended December 31, 2001.                      

     The  preferred  stockholders  have the right to require  redemption  of the
     Series B Preferred Stock amounts,  including accretions, 90 days subsequent
     to  August  4, 2001 in the event  that the  registration  statement  is not
declared effective at that time.                                      

     In conjunction  with this  modification,  the Company agreed to reprice the
     existing  287,322  warrants  issued  on  October  6,  2000 to the  Series B
     preferred  stockholders  ranging in price from  $1.0126 to $1.1342 to $0.17
     per share.  In  addition,  the  Company  issued to the  Series B  preferred
     stockholders  warrants to purchase  500,000 shares of the Company's  Common
     Stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share. The fair value of $98,850 of
     such warrants was calculated using the  Black-Scholes  option pricing model
     with the following variables:  exercise price of $0.17, closing stock price
     on June 26, 2001 of $0.44, life of warrants of 3 years,  volatility of 150%
     and risk free interest rate of 5.5%.  The value of such warrants was deemed
     to be analogous to a dividend to the preferred  stockholders  as prescribed
     under  the  provisions  of EITF  98-5  and was  recognized  at the  date of
issuance as the warrants were immediately exercisable.

Common Stock Transactions                                             

     On January 13, 1996, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 75,000
     shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock at an exercise  price of $7.30.  On
     December 31, 1997, the Company replaced these with new warrants to purchase
     100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.44.
     These  warrants  were  issued for  services  rendered  and are  exercisable
     through  January 2006. As of December 31, 2001, none of these warrants have
been exercised.                                                       

     On July 9, 1997,  the Company  issued  warrants for the purchase of 200,000
     shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock at an  exercise  price of $0.50 per
     share. These warrants were issued in connection with a $100,000  short-term
     loan made by a  stockholder  of the Company.  As of December 31, 1997,  the
loan had been repaid. These warrants were exercised during 1999.      

     In April  1998,  the Company  granted  options to two  consulting  firms to
     purchase 400,000 and 233,334 shares of the Company's Common Stock at prices
     of $1.45 and $1.50 per share,  respectively.  These  options  have terms of
five years and vest over a one-year period.                           

     In June 1998,  the Company  issued  102,000 shares of its Common Stock at a
     price of $2.00 per  share.  In  connection  with this stock  offering,  the
     Company issued warrants to purchase  102,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share through June 30, 2001.  

     In July 1998, the Company's president was named as a defendant in a lawsuit
     filed by a firm  claiming  that it was  promised  shares  of the  Company's
     Common  Stock.  In March 1999,  the Company  settled this matter by issuing
     63,239  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock,  valued  at  approximately
$324,000, and paying $15,000 in cash to the plaintiff.                

     During the six months ended December 31, 1998, the Company issued 2,800,000
     units each  consisting  of a share of Common  Stock at a price of $2.00 per
     share and a warrant  to  purchase  a share of Common  Stock at an  exercise
     price of  $3.00.  In  connection  with this  stock  offering,  the  Company
     incurred the following stock issuance costs: (i) cash payments of $442,500,
     (ii) 7,500 shares of Common  Stock with a fair value of $15,000,  and (iii)
     warrants  to  purchase  728,000  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock at
     exercise  prices  varying  from  $1.50 to  $3.00.  The  fair  value of such
     warrants amounted to $973,000 and was recorded as a separate element of the
Company's equity.                                                     

     In October 1998, at the request of two stockholders due to changes in their
     financial  condition,  the  Company  rescinded  stock  purchase  agreements
     relating  to 400,000  units and  refunded  $800,000  in proceeds to the two
stockholders.                                                         

     In February 1999, the Company issued (a) 500,000 units each consisting of a
     share of  Common  Stock at a price of $3.00  per  share  and a  warrant  to
     purchase a share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00,  (b) 50,000
     units  consisting  of a share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share
     and a warrant to purchase a share of Common  Stock at an exercise  price of
     $3.50.  Sale of these units  resulted  in gross  proceeds to the Company of
     approximately $1.6 million.  In connection with this offering,  the Company
     granted warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at
     an exercise price of $3.75. Such grant represented stock issuance costs and
     therefore, its fair value of $270,000 was recorded as an offset against the
proceeds of the offering.                                             

     In March 1999, the Company received proceeds of approximately  $7.5 million
     from the  exercise  of  warrants  to  purchase  2.5  million  shares of the
Company's Common Stock.

     During April 1999,  Surrey and Eurockot  purchased  1,666,667 shares of the
Company's Common Stock for a total $5 million in cash.                

     During 1999, the Company granted  options and warrants to purchase  347,273
     shares of the Company's  Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.79
     to $2.75 to several service  providers.  The fair value of such options and
     warrants,  which  amounted to  approximately  $774,000,  was recorded as an
     expense  during 1999.  The following  variables  were used to determine the
     fair  value of such  instruments  under the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing
     model: volatility of 100%, expected life of 10 years for options and 2 to 3
     years for  warrants,  risk free interest of 5% to 6% and  underlying  stock
prices equal to fair market value at the time of grant.               

     In December 1999, the Company granted  warrants to purchase  500,000 shares
     of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.81 per share to a
     financial  institution  as  consideration  for its  efforts  to help  raise
     capital.  The fair  value  of such  warrants  of  $674,000  was  originally
     recorded as a long term asset and  expensed in 2000.  The fair value of the
     warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the  Black-Scholes  model
     with volatility of 100%, expected life of 3 years,  risk-free interest rate
     of 5% and fair market value of the Common Stock of $2.25 per share. On July
21, 2000, 400,000 of these warrants were cancelled.                   

     During 1999, the Company received proceeds of $598,526 from the exercise of
     options to purchase  425,084  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock,  and
     proceeds of  $320,768  from the  exercise  of warrants to purchase  324,160

     On June 2, 2000,  the Company  entered  into an agreement to sell shares of
     its Common Stock, at the Company's  option, to Torneaux Ltd., a corporation
     organized in the Bahamas,  an  accredited  investor.  The Company  issued a
     Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price
     of $1.01 per share as a finder's  fee.  In  September  2000,  warrants  for
     125,000  shares of Common Stock were exercised at the reduced price of $.70
     per share and a new  warrant to purchase an  additional  125,000  shares of
     Common  Stock at an exercise  price of $1.1875  per share was  issued.  The
     transaction  was exempt from  registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of
     the  Securities  Act. In September  2000, the Company sold 84,490 shares of
     Common Stock to Torneaux Ltd. in accordance  with the agreement,  resulting
     in gross  proceeds  to the  Company  of  $83,333  and  issued a warrant  to
     purchase 42, 245 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.1342 per
     share.  In October 2000,  the Company sold 63,092 shares of Common Stock to
     Torneaux Ltd. in accordance with the agreement, resulting in gross proceeds
     to the Company of $55,556 and issued a warrant to purchase 31,546 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.0126 per share.               

     On June 2, 2000,  the Company sold an  aggregate  of 166,298  shares of its
     Common Stock to three  accredited  investors.  The stock was sold for $1.00
     per share  resulting  in gross  proceeds  to the  Company  of  $166,298.  A
     finder's fee of  approximately  $11,641 was paid in  connection  with these
transactions.                                                         

     In May 2000,  the Company  granted a warrant to purchase  300,000 shares of
     its Common Stock to a consultant  for past services.  No  commissions  were
     paid.  The  warrant has an  exercise  price of $0.6749 per share.  The fair
     value of such  warrants of $470,700 was charged to  consulting  expense and
     was  estimated  on the date of grant  using the Black  Scholes  model  with
     volatility of 150%, expected life of 3 years, risk free interest rate of 6%
and a fair  market  value of the Common  Stock of $1.75 per share.    

     In July 2000,  the Company  received from an accredited  investor  $100,000
     from a private  placement  of 133,333  shares of Common Stock and granted a
     warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable  through July
 2004 at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. No commissions were paid.

     Stock that were  previously  issued to a Director  at prices  ranging  from

     stock and warrants have accrued at the rate of 10% of securities  purchased
     by two of the investors and beyond  November 1, 2001 by the third  investor
     for failure to effectively  register the purchased  Common Stock and Common

     On April 18, 2001, the Company granted to an accredited  investor a warrant
     to  purchase  5,000  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company at an exercise
     price of $0.50 per share in exchange for  extending the period during which
     the Company was required to file a  registration  statement  with regard to
securities purchased by the investor on December 27, 2000.            

     In May 2001,  the  Company  received  six-month  loans from  three  current
     stockholders  and a director of the  Company in the amount of  $30,000.  In
     consideration  for the loans,  the Company will pay interest at the rate of
     6.5% per annum,  and has issued warrants to said  stockholders and director
     to  purchase  a  total  of  150,000  shares  of  restricted   Common  Stock
     exercisable  at $0.25 per  share.  In June  2001,  the  Company  received a

     The  following  variables  were used to  determine  the fair  value of such
     instruments  under the  Black-Scholes  option pricing model:  volatility of
     150%,  expected life of 6 months,  risk free interest of 6% and  underlying
stock prices equal to fair market value at the time of grant.

     Torneaux Lt., for aggregate gross proceeds of  approximately  $375,000.  Of
     the shares  issued,  486,486  shares were  delivered upon the exercise of a
     portion  of the total  warrants  that were  issued in the  transaction.  In
     addition,  the Company  agreed to reprice  certain  existing  Torneaux Ltd.
     warrants to purchase an  aggregate  of 73,791  shares of Common  Stock from

     On July 9, 2001, the Company  granted a warrant to purchase an aggregate of
     500,000  shares  of its  Common  Stock  to two  consultants  as part of two
     agreements dated July 9, 2001. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.38
     per share. Of these 500,000  warrants,  175,000 vested upon  performance of
     service during the quarter ended  September 30, 2001,  while the vesting of
     the remainder is contingent upon the occurrence of future events.  The fair
     value of such  warrants,  which  amounted  to  approximately  $54,250,  was
     recorded as an expense.  The following variables were used to determine the
     fair  value of such  instruments  under the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing
     model:  volatility of 150%, expected life of 3 years, risk free interest of
     6.5% and underlying  stock prices equal to fair market value at the time of
grant.

shares of its Common Stock at $0.60 per share.                        

     On August 1, 2001, the Company  granted a warrant to purchase 62,000 shares
     of its Common Stock to a consultant as part of an agreement dated August 1,
     2001. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.77 per share. Of these 62,000
     warrants,  25,000  vested upon  performance  of service  during the quarter
     ended September 30, 2001,  while the vesting of the remainder is contingent
     upon  the  occurrence  of a future  event.  The  fair  value of the  25,000
     warrants,  which  amounted to  approximately  $17,000,  was  recorded as an
     expense.  The following  variables were used to determine the fair value of
     such instruments under the Black-Scholes  option pricing model:  volatility
     of  150%,  expected  life of 4  years,  risk  free  interest  of  6.5%  and
  underlying stock prices equal to fair market value at the time of grant.

     Derivative Financial  Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
     Company's  Own Stock during  fiscal 2001.  The EITF required the Company to
     assess,  during 2001, the balance sheet  classification  of all outstanding
     warrants.  As a  result  of this  assessment,  certain  warrants  that  met
     liability  classification  criteria were  reclassified  as liabilities  and
     measured at fair value,  with subsequent  changes in fair value reported in
     the statement of operations. The decrease in the fair value of the warrants
     resulted in a gain of $383,773 for the year ended  December  31, 2001,  was
     due to a  decrease  in fair value of our Common  Stock,  shorter  remaining
     terms for the  remeasured  warrants due to the passage of time,  changes in
volatility and interest rates.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan                                          

     The Company has  established  the 1999  Employee  Stock  Purchase Plan (the
     "1999 Plan"),  which was approved by the stockholders in June 1999 to serve
     as a vehicle to attract  and retain the  services of key  employees  and to
     help  such key  employees  realize  a direct  proprietary  interest  in the
     Company.  Under the 1999 Plan,  employees,  including officers,  who do not
     beneficially  own stock  and/or  options  totaling 5% or more of the voting
     power  of the  Company,  will  be  eligible  to  participate.  However,  no
     participant  may be granted  rights to purchase  more than $25,000 worth of
     Common Stock  (valued at the time the  purchase  right is granted) for each
     calendar year in which such purchase rights are outstanding under any other
     stock purchase  plans. An aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the
     Company were reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan of which 39,222 were
     issued and  outstanding  as of December  31,  2001.  Employees  electing to

     participate  in the 1999 Plan are allowed to deduct from 1% to 10% of their
     compensation  to  purchase  shares  of  Common  Stock.  Twice a  year,  the
     employees'  accumulated  payroll deductions will be used to purchase shares
     of Common Stock at a price equal to 85% of the closing  price of the Common
     Stock on either the first business day or last business day of the offering
period, whichever is lower.                                           

Employee Stock Option Plans                                           

     In February 1996, the Company  adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 1996
     Plan) to  consolidate  its three existing  plans.  In May 1998, the Company
     adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998  Plan"),  which  provided for
     the issuance of a maximum of 500,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock.
     In May 2000,  the  Company  adopted  the 2000 Stock  Option Plan (the "2000
     Plan"), which provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,750,000 shares of
     the Company's  Common Stock.  Provisions of the 1996,  1998, and 2000 Plans
     are  substantially  similar  to those of the  earlier  plans.  The  overall
     purpose  of the 1996,  1998,  and 2000 Plans is to  advance  the  long-term
     interest  of the  Company  by  attracting,  motivating  and  retaining  its
     employees,  directors and  consultants  with the  opportunity  to obtain an
equity interest in the Company.                                       

     Eligible  employees,  directors  and  consultants  can  receive  options to
     purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price generally not less
     than 100% of the fair market  value of the Common  Stock on the date of the
     grant of incentive stock options.  Nonqualified  and nonplan options may be
     granted at a price lower than fair market value.  The options granted under
     the 1996,  1998 and 2000 Plans are  exercisable  over a maximum term of ten
     years  from the date of grant and  generally  vest over (i) one year in the
     case of directors and consultants, and (ii) up to a five-year period in the
     case of  employees.  Shares  sold  under the 1996,  1998 and 2000 Plans are
subject to various restrictions as to resale.                         

     In addition,  the Company granted non-plan options to certain  employees in
connection with their employment.

The  Company  accounts  for  employee  and board of  director  stock  options in
accordance  with the  provisions of APB No. 25 and complies with the  disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized
based on the  amount  by which the fair  value of the  underlying  Common  Stock
exceeds the exercise price of the stock options at the measurement  date,  which
in the case of  employee  stock  options  is  typically  the date of grant.  For
financial  reporting  purposes,  the Company has determined that the deemed fair
market  value on the date of grant of  certain  employee  stock  options  was in
excess of the exercise price of the options. This amount is recorded as deferred
compensation  and is  classified as a reduction of  stockholders'  equity and is
amortized as a charge to operations  over the vesting  period of the  applicable
options.  The vesting period is generally  four years.  The fair value per share
used to calculate  deferred  compensation was derived by reference to the common
stock values. Consequently,  the Company recorded deferred stock compensation of
$0, $0 and $2,490,337  during the year ended  December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,
respectively.  Amortization  recognized  for the years ended  December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999 totaled $450,129, $1,078,857 and $957,755, respectively.          

The weighted average fair value of the options granted or modified for the years
ended  December  31,  2001,   2000  and  1999  were  $0.64,   $1.37  and  $0.90,
respectively.  The fair value of each stock  option is  estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model with the following weighted
average assumptions:

     Financial  Officer  ($45,000),  the Legal  Counsel  ($41,250)  and the Vice
President of Operations ($33,750).                                    

     In fiscal 2001, certain executives of the Company deferred receipt of their
     salaries due. The executives  included the President  ($95,000),  the Chief
     Financial  Officer  ($70,000),   the  Legal  Counsel  ($80,000),  the  Vice
     President of  Operations  ($45,000),  and the Vice  President of Government
Affairs ($30,000).                                                    

     In fiscal 2001, the Company borrowed funds from three of its Directors: one

9. Income Taxes                                             

     The provision for income taxes for all periods presented relates to current
minimum taxes.                                                        

     The  estimated  tax  effect  of  significant   temporary   differences  and
     carryforwards  that gave rise to deferred  income tax assets as of December
31, 2001 and 2000, is as follows:

     Due to the  uncertainty  of  realization,  a valuation  allowance  has been
     provided  to offset  the net  deferred  tax  assets.  The  increase  in the
     valuation  allowance was $2,318,000  and $2,215,000  during the years ended
     December 31, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  The  provision for income taxes
     differs  from the  amount  which  would  arise  by  applying  the  combined
     statutory  income  tax  rate of  approximately  40% due to  changes  in the
deferred tax valuation allowance.                                     

     As of December 31, 2001, the Company has net operating  loss  carryforwards
     of  approximately  $21,403,000  and  $21,164,000  for  federal  income  tax
     purposes and California  state  franchise tax purposes,  respectively.  The
     Company  also has  research  and  development  credit  carryforwards.  Such
carryforwards expire in varying amounts between 2002 and 2021.        

     As a result of changes  enacted by the 1986 Tax Reform Act,  utilization of
     net  operating  loss and tax credit  carryforwards  may be  limited  due to
equity transactions occurring on or after May 6, 1986.                

10. Concentration of Risks                                  

     The Company periodically  maintains cash balances at banks in excess of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $100,000.    

          11.  Supplemental  Disclosures  of Non Cash  Investing  and  Financing
Activities                                                  

     During  fiscal 2000 the Company  issued  132,236  shares of Common Stock in
     lieu of cash for services  rendered by two vendors.  The total value of the
services provided was $ 138,882.

     Further,  the Company  issued during  fiscal 2001 150,000  shares of Common
     Stock in lieu of cash for salary owed to a terminated employee with a value
of $46,800.                                                           

12.    Subsequent Events

     Board of Directors  non-qualified  options under the 2000 Stock Option Plan
     to purchase  13,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company  exercisable  for
ten years at $0.10 per share.                                         

     Also on February 5, 2002, a non-plan,  non-qualified  option was granted to
     an officer of the Company upon his appointment as Chief  Operating  Officer
     to purchase  450,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company  exercisable for
ten years at $0.12 per share.                                         

     On March 1, 2002,  the Company  granted an option to a director to purchase
     450,000  shares  of its  Common  Stock  for  financial  officer  consulting
     services  rendered.  The warrant is exercisable for ten years from the date
of the grant at $0.12 per share.                                      

     On March 4, 2002, the Company received  proceeds in a private  placement of
     $100,000 from its chief executive officer,  through an affiliated  business
     entity of that individual.  Of the $100,000 proceeds,  $30,000 was invested
     in exchange for  warrants to purchase an  aggregate of 2,250,000  shares of
     Common Stock of the Company at the then  current  market price of $0.12 per
     share;  and  $70,000  was  invested  as an  exercise  of  certain  of those
     warrants.  Each of the warrants purchased is exercisable for a short period
     of time as follows:  Warrant 1 for 416,666  shares  exercisable to April 4,
     2002;  Warrant 2 for 416,666 shares  exercisable to May 4, 2002;  Warrant 3

     replacement  warrants to purchase  416,666 shares  exercisable for 6 months
     from  the  date of each  exercise  at  $0.12  per  share.  Of the  $100,000
     proceeds,  $70,000 was  through the full  exercise of Warrant 1 for 416,666
     shares and partial exercise of Warrant 2 for 166,667 shares.  In accordance
     with the terms of each  warrant,  the Company  issued the investor  416,666
     plus 166,667  restricted  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company,  and two
     replacement  warrants to purchase an additional  416,666 and 166,667 shares
