PART I ITEM I. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS BACKGROUND. Viking Capital Group, Inc. (the "Company") is a Utah corporation formed on November 12, 1986. The Company was originally formed under the name Silver Harvest, Inc. for the purpose of obtaining capital to seek out, investigate and acquire interests in new products, properties or businesses. In June of 1988, the Company received from subscribers in a public offering subscriptions for the purchase of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $75,000. The Company's public offering was conducted pursuant to the registration requirements set forth in Section 61-1-10 of the Utah Uniform Securities Act and in reliance upon the exemption from federal registration requirements set forth in Rule 504 of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to Rule 11.1 of the Utah Securities Division, the proceeds from the Company's public offering were placed in escrow pending the specific allocation of such proceeds and subject to the subscribers' right to rescind their subscriptions upon determination of the definitive use of proceeds. In 1989, the Company entered into an agreement with Louis Sylvester pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Sylvester in exchange for all rights to certain financial education seminar and business concepts developed by Mr. Sylvester. Pursuant to such agreement, the Company agreed to change its name to The Institute for Financial Fitness and to operate as a financial consulting and education firm utilizing certain concepts developed by Mr. Sylvester. The Utah Securities Division then approved the release of the funds held in escrow to the Company. The Company subsequently abandoned its financial consulting and education activities and pursued and abandoned various other opportunities and Mr. Sylvester returned the shares of common stock received from the Company for cancellation. In February of 1990, the Company changed its name to Viking Capital Group, Inc.. In November of 1991, the Company declared a 1 for 5 reverse stock split. From 1990 through mid 1994 the Company laid the ground work to become a insurance holding company and a fully reporting SEC public holding company via the filing of the form 10 with the SEC. In mid 1994 the Company became a fully reporting SEC Company and the effective first reporting period was as of 12/31/93. The next major activity was to enlist a market maker to establish trading in the Company's common stock via the over the counter electronic bulletin board. This was achieved on January 20, 1995. Subsequently, the common stock of the Company has attracted seven (7) market makers spread across the USA, therein trading the stock coast to coast. As of December 31, 1996 the Company's activities include: (1) development of private and institutional investors for various acquisitions, specifically, the purchase of insurance companies, (2) implementation of the plan described below to become a provider of specialized administration and data processing services for insurance companies and banks including the licensing of the Sun Microsystems, Inc. "Sun Closed Caption Index Media Stream (IMS)" software with Viking Systems, Inc. 3

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS PLAN OF OPERATION. The Company is a development stage company which has developed a comprehensive multi-step plan to (1) become a provider of specialized administrative and data processing services for insurance and securities products offered by other companies and (2) acquire a base of insurance managed assets under the Company's management. The Company's primary objective is to provide quality fee based administration, data processing, product development and management consulting services to businesses, particularly banks and insurance companies, and to build its own insurance managed assets via acquisitions and reinsurance purchases to a total of $1.5 billion of insurance managed assets. The Company's financial methodology is to generate profits from its fee based services described above, equal to or in excess of the cost of managing its own assets and policy holders. This methodology is expected to allow the Company to achieve a higher margin of profitability than its competitors and allow shareholder equity to grow as the managed asset base grows. Management expects the Company's proposed services will permit financial services companies, particularly small to medium sized banks, merchant banks and insurance companies, to expand their sources of revenues while minimizing costs. Implementation of the Company's plan of operations is expected to be carried out through one or more strategic acquisitions of, or combinations with, operating companies. While the Company has not purchased an insurance company yet, it has started operations in corporate relations services, via Viking Financial Services, Inc., insurance marketing services, via Viking Insurance Services, Inc., data processing services, via Viking Systems, Inc. (incorporated in 1996), administration services, via Viking Administrators, Inc. (incorporated in 1996). There is no assurance that the Company can successfully continue to fund the start-up of Viking Financial Services, Inc., Viking Insurance Services, Inc., Viking Systems, Inc., Viking Administrators, Inc. and other operations or that such other operations can be integrated and carried out on a profitable basis. While the Company presently has no known, specific source of funds to implement its total plan of operations, the Company intends to pursue its plan of operations through mergers, exchanges of stock for assets or stock, the issuance of debt and/ or the private placement or public offering of stock for cash. The Company believes that its status as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the trading of its common stock on the over the counter electronic bulletin board (symbol VGCP) and the stature and industry contacts of Chairman, William J. Fossen, will make it more attractive to potential merger or acquisition candidates and will enhance the Company's ability to raise capital through the placement of its debt and/or equity securities. No binding agreements, or agreements in principal, to raise capital for the Company or invest in the Company existed as of December 31, 1996, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the financing necessary to implement its plan of operations. 4

CORPORATE RELATIONS SERVICES. (Viking Financial Services, Inc.) The first phase of the Company's proposed plan of operation consists of the initiation of its corporate relations services, Viking Financial Services, Inc.. This subsidiary of the Company intends to help provide capitalization, restructuring and public offerings for the Company and for client companies that have significant potential and/or assets. These services will be provided by the Company on a fee and percentage basis with limited liability arising on behalf of the Company. The Company intends to provide services through various broker/dealers, nationwide. The Company intends to contract with broker/dealers via Viking Financial Services, Inc., large enough to provide all types of securities products and trading services (stocks, bonds, etc.). The Company presently does not intend to have ownership in any broker/dealerships that it does business with, but may so choose to in the future, if management deems it is necessary to properly serve its client companies and banks. The operations of Viking Financial Services, Inc. has been carried out to date by non-salaried individuals. No gross income was generated during 1996 from the operation of Viking Financial Services, Inc.. INSURANCE MARKETING SERVICES COMPANY. (Viking Insurance Services,Inc.) On May 6, 1995 the Company purchased for 450,000 common shares, the national marketing operations of Viking Insurance Services, Inc. In 1996, Viking Insurance Services, Inc. created a new product line on behalf of World Travelers Association for health and other benefits for travelers visiting the USA. Plans call for the "Viking Travel Plan", as it is referred to, to begin marketing in Canada in the second quarter of 1997 and in a number of other foreign countries over the next few years. Viking Insurance Services, Inc. generated $74,955 of gross income via contract sales for future business in 1996. DATA PROCESSING COMPANY. (Viking Systems, Inc.) The Company formed and incorporated Viking Systems, Inc. on February 15, 1996. Viking Systems, Inc. will serve as the Company's data processing center for all the Company's Management Information Systems (MIS) needs and will also serve as a "profit center", providing MIS services to outside client corporations. Viking Systems, Inc. has completed two tasks for the Federal Government during the last half of 1996 which generated a gross income of $198,970. Viking Systems, Inc. announced on October 10, 1996 a streaming, digital video indexing capability as an integral step in the strategic plan of placing Viking Capital Group, Inc. at the forefront of utilizing the information superhighway for agent and policy holder services. This capability, derived from software licensed from Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Mountain View, SUNW), allows searching indexed video for a particular word or phrase, much like searching for text in an electronic document. As of 12/31/96 the Company or Viking Systems, Inc. had no new commitments or agreements with the Federal Government or any other outside corporate client. 5

ADMINISTRATION SERVICES. (Viking Administrators, Inc.) The Company, through Viking Administrators, Inc. (incorporated during 1996), intends to offer a comprehensive range of administrative services associated with the internal operations of insurance companies, including accounting, billing, policy issuance, policy servicing, compliance and financial reporting services. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had not entered into any negotiations, commitments or agreements to provide administration services. There can be no assurances that the Company can successfully contract and/or fund the operations of Viking Administrators, Inc. PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF INSURANCE COMPANY. The Company is proposing to purchase a life and/or Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance company. The purchase of its own P&C insurance company will allow the Company the choice of issuing its own master policy to the World Travelers Association, therein increasing its gross profits as compared to issuing the Travel Plan through a unrelated insurance company. The purchase of a life insurance company, in addition to facilitating uniform compliance with required administrator license requirements, is expected to serve as a warehouse or structure within which the Company intends to acquire insurance policies with a goal of accumulating a managed asset base of $1.5 billion. The Company intends to acquire blocks of insurance utilizing three methods: (1) reinsuring a portion of the Company's client insurance companies' insurance sales for whom the Company is performing data processing and administration services; (2) purchasing blocks of business (a block or book of business is generally described as a number of insurance policies of the same type or plan), including the required accumulated reserves, typically comprised of securities, some mortgages and real estate, referred to as "managed assets"; and (3) purchasing entire insurance companies so as to take over all of the desired blocks of business in the targeted insurance company. Management presently has identified several targets that are available. These targets may or may not be available upon the Company's completion of its capitalization. However, management believes that appropriate companies are readily available. The anticipated cost of acquiring and capitalizing an operation is estimated at $3,000,000 to $7,200,000. for a shell insurance company and from $15,000,000 and up for existing operating insurance companies, depending upon the assets accumulated in such a target insurance company. Management looks for targets that have under performing investment portfolios, but with high quality investments and high per policy general administrative expenses compared to the Company's service costs. There can be no assurances that the Company can successfully contract and/or fund the purchase of an insurance company. MARKET AND COMPETITION. The Company is presently aware of no other company providing or planning to provide services of the nature and scope proposed to be offered by the Company in the medium to small insurance company market. However, as the trend toward "outsourcing" continues to grow as a means of controlling costs and maximizing profitability, management expects that other companies will attempt to duplicate the Company's services. 6

EMPLOYEES. At December 31, 1996, the Company had 12 full time employees. The Company's relations with its employees are favorable. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES The Company's executive offices are located in 15,189 square feet of office space at Two Lincoln Centre, 5420 LBJ Freeway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75240 at the rate of $21,518 per month for a period of sixty (60) months through 6/31/2001. 6,000 square feet are subleased to two independent third parties pursuant to a written lease agreement providing for monthly lease payments of $5,000. and $1,800 for a period of twelve (12) months through 6/31/97. Both subleases have requested to continue their lease for an additional year. The Company has not as of this date herein, determined its full space requirements for the months subsequent to 6/31/97. The Company's present facilities are believed to be adequate to support its present holding company and data processing operations for the remainder of the lease. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is not involved in any threatened, pending or ongoing litigation to the best knowledge of management. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders through the solicitation of proxies, or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS MARKET. The Company's common stock began trading in the over the counter (OTC) market January 20, 1995. The Company's trading symbol is "VGCP". The volume in the trading averages approximately 20,000 a day. As of 12/31/96 the stock was quoted at $0.31 ask and $0.25 bid. There is a total of approximately 13,946,095 common shares outstanding of which 4,156,941 are free trading shares as of 12/31/96. At December 31, 1996 the Company had 100,000 shares of Class B common stock authorized and outstanding. All 100,000 shares where issued to William J.

10KSB408th Page of 41TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
4,841,851 where exercisable to purchase common stock. Of the 13,946,095 shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 1996, 9,635,779 shares are "restricted stock" as defined by Rule 144. At December 31, 1996, approximately 5,624,108 shares of the restricted common stock were eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144. At December 31, 1996, the Company had certain note agreements in the amount of $11,500 which were convertible to 3,833 shares of common restricted stock [at $2.00 per share through July 1, 1995 and increasing $.50 per share every twelve months thereafter, to a maximum of $3.00 per share], the shares are required to be registered for resale (registration rights) when and if the Company ever filed for any registration of any of its common shares. All note holders were offered a one time opportunity to convert their notes and purchase a like amount of additional common shares by October 1, 1995 for a conversion price of $1.10 per share. All but $14,000 note holders had converted as of 12/31/95 for a total conversion and purchase rights of 230,182 common restricted shares. Subsequent to 12/31/95, $2500. plus all interest had been repaid to a single note holder leaving a balance of $11,500 in the above mentioned notes as of 12/31/96. Note holders that converted to common stock received one A warrant and one B warrant for each dollar that they convert. Each A warrant is exercisable at $3.00 per share when the trading bid price of the common stock reaches a $4.00 average over five consecutive trading days. Each B warrant is exercisable at $6.00 per share when the trading bid price of the common stock is a $6.00 average over five consecutive trading days. Each such warrant expires upon the ninetieth day after the market trading bid price has reached the designated price as outlined above. As of 12/31/96 the Company had $51,000 convertible notes outstanding that had the option to converted to 170,000 common restricted shares; $106,720 convertible notes outstanding that had the option to convert to 213,440 common restricted shares; $15,560 convertible notes outstanding that had the option to convert to 20,747 common restricted shares. All convertible notes if converted, carried an option of a like amount at the same price as the conversion price. All notes are due in 1997 and all options if the notes are converted, are for a period of one year. The Company had no ongoing or proposed public offerings of its common equity at 12/31/96. HOLDERS At December 31, 1996, there were approximately 1012 holders of record of the common stock of the Company. 8
10KSB409th Page of 41TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
DIVIDENDS The Company has paid no cash dividends to any common equity holders to date and does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of dividends on the Company's common stock is subject to the payment of all accumulated dividends payable to the holders of the Company's outstanding preferred stock. The Company had no preferred stock outstanding as of 12/31/96. Other than the foregoing, there are no restrictions, nor are there likely to be in the future, that limit the ability of the Company to pay dividends on its common stock. ITEM 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The Company's operations for the four years ended December 31, 1994 have consisted of efforts to develop its existing plan to become a provider of specialized administration and data processing services for the insurance and financial services industries as described elsewhere herein and efforts to attract capital in order to implement the Company's plan of operations. In addition, during this period the Company has become a fully reporting SEC company and publicly traded with market makers offering the Company's common stock across the USA. The Company became a fully reporting SEC Company in 1994 and its common stock began trading on the over the counter electronic bulletin board January 20, 1995. The Company has received no significant revenues through 1995, and revenues of $273,925 in 1996, and has generated substantial losses. The Company's plan of operation is described in full in Item 1. Business, above. The Company's plan of operations has been implemented in multiple phases with the implementation of each phase being subject to the receipt of various levels of funding. It is management's belief that such phases have been accomplished as it pertains to preparing the Company for the acquisition of its first insurance company. Complete implementation of the Company's plan of operations is anticipated to require approximately $4,500,000 of funding. The Company is seeking to secure $3,000,000 in the form of a equity sale of the Company's convertible preferred stock and $1,500,000 in computer equipment leases. The amount of computer equipment leases will be dictated by the requirement of potential government contracts for the completion of integrated systems and/or the requirements of future insurance company acquisitions. Further sales of the Company's preferred stock will also be required to raise additional capital for the purchase of insurance company assets to meet the Company's goal of $1.5 billion of managed insurance assets. Viking Financial Services, Inc. (VFSI), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, was incorporated June 10, 1994, in the state of Texas, Viking Insurance Services, Inc. (VISI) was purchased as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant on May 6, 1995, Viking Systems, Inc. (VSI), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, was incorporated February 7, 1996 in the state of Texas and Viking Administrators, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant, was incorporated March 27, 1996 in the state of Texas. (See Item I. Business - Corporate Relations Services, Viking Insurance Services, Inc., Viking Systems, Inc. and Viking Administrators, Inc. above). VFSI began limited operations on May 1, 1996 and had no revenue during 1996. 9
10KSB4010th Page of 41TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
VISI filed and contracted for insurance marketing products with other insurance companies and generated $74,955 of revenue in 1996. VSI completed on 10-10-96 the licensing of the Sun software for the operations of Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s "Sun Closed Caption Index Media Stream" software. Viking Systems, Inc. continues towards the completion of its own in house development of index media software and other applications for use on the Viking corporate intranet and the Internet. VSI had revenue for 1996 of $198,970. During 1996, the Company also incorporated an insurance administration company called Viking Administrators, Inc. . This leaves the last phase of the strategic plans of the Company, which are to purchase insurance companies. The Company also has contracted with a national continuing education firm for insurance and securities agents and plans to sign a strategic alliance with a broker/dealer and prepare for a public and/or private offering of approximately $3,000,000 and $15,000,000 of the Company's preferred stock. The cost of implementing such steps is estimated to be $150,000. If the Company is successful in securing such funding and carrying out such steps, the Company expects to utilize the proceeds of the proposed public and/or private offering and other available funding to implement the remaining phase of the Company's plan of operations of acquiring and capitalization of the first insurance company at an estimated cost of $3,000,000. The estimated cost to acquire further insurance assets via the purchase of insurance companies and/or individual books of insurance business to reach the Company's goal of $1.5 Billion, is $150,000,000. The estimated completion cost for equipment and software of the DP center (VSI) is $1,500,000 and $500,000 respectively. The estimated start-up cost of an administration center is $200,000. At December 31, 1996, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $9,920 and had liabilities totaling approximately $810,525. Subsequent to 12/31/96 the Company had raised additional funds via private loans of approximately $240,000 and receivables of $99,703. The Company anticipates that the funds on hand will only sustain current operations for approximately the first six months and are not sufficient to implement any of the Company's plan of operations. Accordingly, in order to sustain operations past such period and to implement the Company's plan of operations, the Company must secure funds from other sources. The Company will continue to negotiate for funding of up to $15,000,000 to fund acquisition of an insurance company and provide additional working capital for subsidiaries. The Company has not received any commitments from any private or institutional lender or investor or from any other source to provide funding to the Company as of 12/31/96. Accordingly, while the Company believes that it can successfully conduct a private placement of debt and/or equity, continue to capitalize its subsidiaries, establish broker/dealer alliances and conduct a public offering before the end of 1997, with implementation of the remaining phase of the Company's plan of operations to follow shortly thereafter, there is no assurance that the Company can successfully complete a private placement of debt and/or equity or a public offering or that it can successfully implement any of its plan of operations. Failure to successfully complete a private placement and/or public offering of debt and/or equity, or securing funding from other sources, would materially adversely affect the timing and ability of implementation of the Company's plan of operations. If the Company is successful in implementing its plan of operations, the Company will be required to lease, acquire or construct significant additional facilities and equipment and hire substantial additional employees to carry out such operations. 10

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Viking Capital Group, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Viking Capital Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (a development stage enterprise), as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and accumulated deficit, and cash flows of Viking Capital Group, Inc. and subsidiaries for the period from November 12, 1986 (inception) to December 31, 1994. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and our opinion insofar as it relates to the cumulative amounts included for Viking Capital Group, Inc. and subsidiaries is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viking Capital Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As described in Note B, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced recurring losses and has not generated any significant revenue since its inception. Additionally, at December 31, 1996, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $551,264 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $492,524. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Unless the Company obtains additional financing, it will not be able to meet its obligations as they come due and it will be unable to execute its long-term business plan. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. KING GRIFFIN & ADAMSON P.C. Dallas, Texas March 18, 1997 F-3

VIKING CAPITAL GROUP, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1996 and 1995 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BACKGROUND Viking Capital Group, Inc. ("Company") is currently in the development stage as it has generated no significant revenue. The Company is currently working to secure capital necessary to execute its business plan to provide insurance administrative services, corporate relations services and to purchase insurance managed assets via the acquisition of insurance company books of business and entire insurance companies. History Viking Capital Group, Inc. was incorporated November 12, 1986, as a Utah business corporation under the name of Silver Harvest, Inc. to transact any business authorized under the general corporation law of Utah. On November 23, 1989, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to The Institute For Financial Fitness, Inc. and on February 21, 1990 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Viking Capital Group, Inc. with all the same provisions of the original articles to remain in full force. During June, 1994, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Viking Financial Services, Inc., a Texas corporation, to provide corporate relations services. During 1995, the Company issued 454,545 common shares in exchange for 100 percent of the common stock of Viking Insurance Services, Inc. ("VISI") to provide insurance related services. During 1996, the Company incorporated two additional wholly owned subsidiaries, Viking Systems, Inc. and Viking Administrators, Inc. None of these companies have provided any significant level of services to date. The Company has generated no significant revenues through 1996. (During the fourth quarter 1996, the Company generated $224,295 in revenues.) Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating activities of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Office Furniture and Equipment Office furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. The Company provides for depreciation of its office furniture and equipment using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the depreciable assets ranging from five to seven years. Equipment held under capital leases are amortized straight line over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset ranging from three to five years. Amortization of assets held under capital leases is included with depreciation expense. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. At December 31, 1996, the gross amount and accumulated amortization for assets held under capital leases amounted to $97,253 and $0, respectively. Income Taxes The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. F-15

VIKING CAPITAL GROUP, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued December 31, 1996 and 1995 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BACKGROUND - Continued Loss per Common Share Loss per common share was calculated by dividing the Company's net loss plus preferred dividends paid and accrued during the year (where applicable) by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation as such inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. Software Development During 1996, the Company was engaged in developing certain software capabilities relating to potential products and services. All costs incurred to date have been expensed. Revenue Recognition and Government Contract During 1996, the Company earned approximately $198,000 under a fixed price Federal contract for the analysis and video proof of concept demonstration. Contract revenue has been recorded as earned based on contract completion. At December 31, 1996, the accounts receivable balance of $99,703 represents unpaid billings relating to this contract, which were collected subsequent to December 31, 1996. Use of Estimates and Assumptions Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. NOTE B - GOING CONCERN The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or classification of liabilities which may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company sustained a net operating loss of approximately $980,556 during the year ended December 31, 1996 and has accumulated losses of $3,794,764 since its inception, November 12, 1986. Cash used by operating activities for the same periods aggregated $868,990 and $2,313,574, respectively. Current liabilities at December 31, 1996 of $733,960 exceed current assets of $182,696. Total liabilities at December 31, 1996 of $810,525 exceed total assets of $318,001. The Company's continued existence depends upon the success of management's efforts to raise additional capital necessary to meet the Company's obligations as they come due and to obtain sufficient capital to execute its business plan. There can be no degree of assurance given that the Company will be successful in completing additional financing transactions. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities which may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

VIKING CAPITAL GROUP, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued December 31, 1996 and 1995 NOTE C - NOTES PAYABLE The Company entered into various notes during 1996 all of which mature during 1997, totaling $440,140. The notes bear interest between 12% and 15% and are secured by the assets of the Company. Interest payments are due semi-annually. Included in the $440,140 is $25,000 borrowed from the President of the Company and $80,560 from other related parties. The Company borrowed $72,650 during 1995 which was converted into 125,650 common shares during 1996 and $75,000 during 1995 which was converted into 150,000 common shares during 1995. During 1996 and 1995, notes payable totaling $62,650 and $162,500, respectively and related accrued interest of $3,000 and $10,690 were converted to 56,000 and 157,451 common shares, respectively. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had $51,000 of convertible notes outstanding that had the option to convert to 170,000 common restricted shares; $106,720 convertible notes outstanding that had the option to convert to 213,440 common restricted shares; $15,560 convertible notes outstanding that had the option to convert to 20,747 common restricted shares; $85,000 convertible notes outstanding that had the option to convert to 85,000 common restricted shares. All of these notes, if converted, carry an additional option to purchase the same number of common shares which the holder was originally entitled to convert to, such shares to be purchased at the same share price used in the conversion. All of these notes are due in 1997 and all options, if the notes are converted, are for a period of one year. A note holder with a note balance of $11,500 may convert the outstanding balance of the note to the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per common share on or before July 1, 1997. If the note holder converts his note to common stock, he will receive one (1) A Warrant (which is for one common share) and one (1) B Warrant (which is for one common share) for each dollar of the note converted. The A Warrants may be exercised at $3.00 per share and the B Warrants may be exercised at $5.00 per share. The Warrants may only be exercised once the Company's common stock has achieved an average closing bid price of $4.00 per share and $6.00 per share over five consecutive business days, respectively. Once the Company's common stock has reached the required trading price, the warrants must be exercised within ninety (90) days. NOTE D - INCOME TAXES The Company has operating loss carryforwards totaling $3,529,695, subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, that are available to offset its future income tax liability. The net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows: [Download Table] Year 2004 $ 32,780 Year 2005 42,043 Year 2006 93,047 Year 2007 137,754 Year 2008 297,236 Year 2009 503,473 Year 2010 1,442,806 Year 2011 980,556 ---------- $3,529,695 ========== F-17

VIKING CAPITAL GROUP, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued December 31, 1996 and 1995 NOTE D - INCOME TAXES - Continued As further described in Note B, realization of the benefit of these net operating loss carryforwards appears uncertain, accordingly, a valuation allowance of $1,200,000 has been recorded in 1996 against the deferred tax asset resulting from the net operating loss carryforward. The valuation allowance increased by $333,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996. There are no other significant temporary differences for financial and income tax reporting purposes at December 31, 1996 or 1995. NOTE E - LEASE COMMITMENTS During 1996, the Company entered into operating lease agreements for office space and computer equipment. The office lease expires in 2001. The Company leases computer equipment under capital leases and long-term non-cancelable operating leases. Total rental expense was $129,527 in 1996, net of $30,000 of rental income receivable under a sub-lease of part of the office space. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases and capital leases at December 31, 1996 are as follows: [Download Table] Operating Capital Leases Leases ----------- --------- 1997 $ 267,504 $ 34,032 1998 267,504 34,032 1999 265,280 34,032 2000 258,216 14,760 2001 and thereafter 129,108 14,760 ---------- -------- Total 1,187,612 131,616 Less lease income from sub-lease (40,800) ---------- $1,146,812 ========== Less amount representing interest (34,363) ------- Present value of net minimum lease payments including current maturities of $20,688 $ 97,253 -------- NOTE F - COMMON STOCK In 1995, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock with a par value of $.001. All 100,000 shares were issued in 1995 to the President of the Company for services provided. The Class B shares shall only hold the right to elect a simple majority of the Company's Board of Directors, effectively functioning as an "anti-takeover" provision against any unwelcome acquisition or merger attempts for or with the Company. NOTE G - PREFERRED STOCK The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation on October 17, 1991 to authorize the issuance of twenty million (20,000,000) shares of preferred stock with a par value of one dollar ($1.00). A second amendment in 1995 increased the authorized shares to 50,000,000. The Board of Directors has the discretion to attach any dividend rate and/or conversion privilege at the time of issuance.

VIKING CAPITAL GROUP, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued December 31, 1996 and 1995 NOTE G - PREFERRED STOCK - Continued The Company issued one hundred ten thousand (110,000) shares in 1992 with a cumulative twelve percent (12%) annual dividend rate and the holder had a conversion privilege of one (1) common share per two (2) preferred shares of stock. The Company had the right to redeem the preferred stock at 115% of the par value. During November, 1994, a Director of the Company, who held 90,000 of the above referenced preferred shares elected to convert the preferred stock and accrued dividends to 57,561 shares of common stock at the conversion price of $2.00 per common share. During 1995, an additional 10,000 of the above referenced preferred shares and accrued dividends were converted to 5,217 shares of common stock at the conversion price of $2.00 per common share. During 1996, the remaining 10,000 shares were redeemed for cash. Effective October 14, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of new Series A preferred stock, with a par value of $10 per share. These shares are non-voting cumulative, callable preferred stock convertible to common stock eighteen months after issuance at a rate equal to one half the market value of the common stock. The new preferred stock will carry a coupon rate of 10%. As of December 31, 1996, no Series A preferred stock had been issued. NOTE H - STOCK OPTIONS Effective July, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a qualified employee stock option plan for the Company (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Company may grant options for up to five million shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option may not be less than the fair market value of common stock at the date of grant, without approval of the Board of Directors.

VIKING CAPITAL GROUP, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued December 31, 1996 and 1995 NOTE H - STOCK OPTIONS - Continued [Download Table] Years ended December 31, --------------------------- 1996 1995 ------- ------- Net Loss As reported $ 980,556 1,449,953 Pro forma $3,876,349 2,754,749 Loss per share As reported $0.07 0.13 Pro forma $0.29 0.25 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in both 1996 and 1995; dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 334%, risk free interest rates ranging from 5.8% to 6.7% over a 1-5 year period, and an expected life of 1-5 years. The model is based on historical stock prices and volatility which due to the low volume of transactions may not be representative of future price variations. The assumptions have also used information relating to free-trading shares, when in fact the options granted are for restricted shares. NOTE I - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of 659,500 and 931,701 common shares in exchange for services, respectively. Of these shares, 100,000 and 341,701 shares were issued to officers and directors as a group during 1996 and 1995, respectively. During 1995, the Company issued 500 shares to the Viking Capital Group Inc.'s President's son. Such transactions have been recorded at a value of ten cents $.10 to $1.00 per share which was estimated as the fair market value of the services rendered to the Company in exchange for the shares. Total consulting fees paid to related parties in the form of cash or stock during 1996 and 1995 aggregated $10,000 and $262,847, respectively. Professional fees paid to related parties in the form of cash or stock during 1995 aggregated $26,041. As further described in Note C, the Company entered into short term note agreements with the President of the Company and other related parties. NOTE J - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company's notes receivables are subject to potential credit risk. Some notes receivable are collateralized against shares held in the Company; all other notes receivable are uncollateralized.

The maximum exposure assuming non performance by the debtors is the amount shown on the balance sheet at the date of non-performance.
